And the guy we call when we need somebody to help us out as he is this hour. Thanks Jimmy

0:46.7

for being here. My pleasure, happy to be here. So you didn't know that we were we were getting

0:51.2

1:05.1

you know, I signed up for the earthquakes. I didn't sign up for hurricanes. So it's also forest

2:07.0

He was supported by all kinds of cardinals. He even had a meeting with Pope Leo the 13th who told

2:13.3

him that he had read all of his books and pamphlets. Oh, really? All Leo kept up on this stuff. Yeah,

2:19.1

he did. Yeah, good for him. And that's what's going to drop next week. I probably should we should

2:25.6

get right into next week because we're heading there now. So what's coming up in the future?

2:31.6

We're going to go cryptid hunting and we're going to go in search of flying snakes, which are
