Hey folks Harlan here with a couple of quick announcements before we start today's podcast first of all thank you for tuning in

Thank you for subscribing thank you for being part of this wacky highway, really appreciate it. And as we grow, we've

started to attract some sponsors and they're really helping with our little

Engine that could podcast here. they help keep the lights on they help keep

things flowing so uh... really appreciate your understanding and your

patience and thank you to our sponsors who are tuning in and helping us out and and also today

we have a little bonus material at the back end of the show I call it the bonus bacon what else would I call it

and what it is it's I do these wacky kind of interviews where I phone myself and do characters.

And today is one of my favorite characters,

Colonel Lieutenant French Commander, Staff Sergeant, Tom Dowdy.

He's a military guy and he's checking in on all the goings on in the world,

especially the tensions in in the Middle East and

people talking about World War 3 about to break out so listen to the interview at

the back end of the podcast.

It's audio only.

There's no visual.

It's just me doing an interview.

And basically I jump back and forth between character and myself and it's all improv

there's no nothing's written down I just I just turn on the microphone and go there's

no editing it's all just one take and I hope you enjoy the

interview also lastly just as the holidays approach I do this thing called Cameo. It's it's Cameo.com or it's cameo on your on your phone app

And it's really fun. I've done it myself. This is why I'm endorsing it. I did it with a celebrity that I loved, an actor that I loved growing up watching.
