What you're about to hear was originally kept secret for the protection of the guest and his family.

We kept it that way because we wanted to offer support to him and have some folks rally around him, but we didn't want to

ruin his life and you'll understand why when you listen. So when you hear us talk about the things that we plan on doing, now that this is being released to the public, I can assure you, the things that we are talking about doing have been done.

When we get to the portion of the show that is asking for help,

and we start giving the Venmo and PayPal and all of that if you want to chip in

there is no need to do that this has been resolved and he will be back on for

future updates and things later on and we are in constant communication

but I just wanted you to know that this is what happens when a podcast or entertainment or something along those lines meets real life.

What I do on this show is not just entertainment, is not just an argument, or a discussion or just food for thought or whatever.

Every now and then these things have real life consequences and impact real families.

This show had a massive impact on someone's life

and it's not always the greatest feeling.

And so sometimes when you are fighting for something

and you finally, quote unquote, get what you're fighting for,

it's not necessarily what you think it's going to be.

I'm Neil Degrass Tyson.

Hey, I'm Adam Carolla.

Hi, my name is Penny Gillette.

Not only listening, I'm a guest.

I'm a pen and teller, and I am the fourth listener. And I am the fourth listener.

And I am the fourth listener.

And that must make me at least the fourth listener.
