And this is the Road to Now.

This is the Road to Now.

And this today is Will Aikoff's Road to Now.

That's right.

Will Aikoff, our old friend, he was on the show probably, well, I want to say decade ago, but we haven't been around for a decade.

We've been around, you know, we're recording this on May 20th, so we are into our ninth, is it ninth anniversary? We're into our 10th year. We just had our 9th anniversary. No, we started 2016. We started in 2016. Right. So, 2015, the beginning of the month marked the end of our 9th year. That was our 9th We're now into our 10th year, dude. Yeah, 10. Can you believe that?

No, I... marked the end of our ninth year. That was our nine anniversary. We're now into our 10th year, dude.

Yeah, 10. Can you believe that? No, I honestly cannot believe that. We would not be here,

if not for the patrons. Yes, that is, that is absolutely right. And for all of you listening.

Yeah, and all you listening and the support from Sirius XM,

but the patrons, man, you know, Bob and I have been recording a bunch of episodes lately. And we've

got this live show coming up. And, you know, Bob's obviously in the Ava Brothers, which is on

tour right now. My, after, you know, recovering from the cancer and everything, my career doing

comedy and narration and all this

stuff, it feels like I didn't miss a beat, which is awesome. But there is no way I could do all this editing work. There is no way I can make sure it got out there. And without Gary Fletcher, we wouldn't be able to do it. And without the patrons, we wouldn't be able to pay Gary Fletcher. that's right. And, you know, I was to say over the past decade, there have been times where I just felt like, how, you know,

we've done it and it's been good, but we've got so much going on. Maybe, maybe it's time to

like quit, retire from the road to now. But then I always say, but people listen. Yes.

But people listen. We. But people listen.

But people listen. We have people who listen and like it and tell us they like it. So we keep doing it. And now we are with Sirius XM, so we can't quit, even if we wanted to, not for a while at least. So you're stuck with us. Thank you for listening. Will A Cuff.
