All right, man.

Just appearing outside. It's a little ominous around here cloudy it's like i feel like i'm uh really in the middle of nowhere well i mean you kind of are in a which is which is outstanding yeah i mean i was going to say like you got uh you got the best of both worlds yeah you are uh

you're you're aware exactly where you should be and we hope you're exactly where you need to be

and want to be today it's a beautiful sunshiny about to be 49 degree day here in

over the park kansas again it's December 9th year, 2025. Welcome aboard, everybody.

You're listening to the crushing iron podcast. This is episode 895. Yeah. Man, I don't know what you said

when you're where I need to be or I'm where I need to be. I mean, it was what came across was,

you're right. You know, I kind of did that. I came up here and I'm where I need to be. I mean, it was, what came across was, you're right, you know, I kind of did that.

I came up here and I'm sort of like, you know, I think I've been talking a little bit about,

It's like, you know, we're, you know, we're fortunate. We don't, you know, we don't have a lot of needs in life. you know and I mean I still like I'm pretty much still the worst person to shop for Christmas because I just don't need anything and I don't really want anything, which isn't any fun for anybody wants to buy gifts.
