Oh, yeah, hey, what's up. Thanks for tuning in. It's Chris Gillibow here. Your host upside

us all school for 2400 days in a row. That's right. It is episode 2400 today. It's been

approximately by that. I mean exactly 2400 days since January 1, 2017 when we started

the podcast. Thank you for being such a big part of the community, whether you've been

here from the beginning or you just tuned in, I don't know, yesterday, whatever it is,

you are awesome. You are the reason we make this podcast. It's all about helping you create

extra income without quitting your job. That is our single-minded mission. We do that in

lots of ways through case studies, tips, stories, questions and answers, dialogue, community

projects. And even today, a segment known as Failure Friday. If you've been around

for a while, you know how it works. Failure Friday is a collection of short stories about

mistakes, missteps, disasters, and, of course, failure, all of the things that don't go so

well. Now, it's fun to work on this segment because I get to hear all kinds of projects

that maybe were a good idea, but didn't actually meet with the desired result, perhaps, or

maybe weren't the best idea, whatever the case may be, or sometimes some circumstance

conspires to totally derail the project, whatever it is. Today, we're going to hear about

a dial-up poem, Hotline. Dial-up poem. Poim, poem, R, B, like to say it. In this week's

segment, we're going to hear from a longtime poetry lover who offers a service called

Dial-up poem, basically a personal poetry hotline. Okay. Now, this is Alice from Spokane,

Washington. She's a longtime poetry lover. She thought it would be cool to offer the

service. And it actually was pretty cool. But, you know, here on Side Asel School, we

like things to be profitable as well. So, therein lies the difficulty. All right. Let's

hear the story from Alice.
