Hi everybody, Dennis Prigger and Julie Hartman. It's Dennis and Julie. Do you know that two guys in their 40s stop me? I told you this.

Stop me a few days ago on the street in Southern California. And it happens a lot. It's a beautiful thing. People say kind things, pose for a selfie.

And the one thing they mention was a really love your Dennis and Julie podcast. And I'm getting that more and more from people that most of the time people will mention my fireside chat.

But now Dennis and Julie is is is is frequently mentioned. I love that. I mean that makes my day and and what a day to bring that up from the outside because it's our one year anniversary of Dennis and Julie. So now I want yes, I want to reflect on that for a second because time is a very odd thing.

We say time flies and that's completely true. At the same time, it seems like we're doing this way more than a year. I know. Well, also just to me anyway, I does it to you.

It does. I mean, that means a year ago you were still in your dorm room. I was still in my dorm. Well, doesn't that seem long ago. It does. It seems I will say it does.

I know I'm the same person, but my life has changed so much in the past year that I don't know. It does seem like a while ago. I would I thought you were going to say is that in addition to thinking that we've been doing it longer than a year.

I sometimes think that we do it more than once a week a because the week flies by so fast and so it seems like almost just every few days as opposed to every week.

And also honestly, we do Dennis and Julie in our separate time. Like this is just this is just us continuation. We just go on like last night. We had an hour long conversation that totally could have been recorded and hosted as an episode. We have Shabbat dinners.

So that's entirely true. It happens a lot, but I I tell you I it blows my mind that it's only a year. I know.

Normally you would say blows my mind a year has passed already. I actually have the opposite reaction and I don't know what determines. It's only a year. So if you're in prison for a year. I know this is an odd way, but you know this is where my brain is going. If you're in prison for a year and it's the year anniversary, do you think wow.

It certainly seems like less than a year or God. It feels like 10 years probably the lab. Yeah, you would think we never know. I agree with you, but that's why this is odd because we've had a good time.

We don't have a good time in prison. So nevertheless, it is a year. Well, you know, one more thing on the Dennis and Julie subject.

Somebody raised it with me. I don't remember who very recently and they they asked how many viewers we have and it's, you know, it's always hard to know because there's so many ways of watching or listening to this.

But it and it's growing and so on. But I said I look, I wish the entire planet watch this and it has nothing to do with ego. I would be happy if they didn't even know Dennis who I just think that the content can so benefit people and that's why do anything to be honest.

But I did I also have to be very, very open and personal. I believe that I'm doing something for posterity with you.

I agree and I feel weird saying it because I don't know why I know it's you didn't say it in this way and I certainly don't say it in this way.

I feel like it sounds self-congratulatory, but I agree they really are for lack of a better term timeless episodes.

Yes. And you're so young and you'll look back. This is what is so odd. You will look back and go, God was I young.

I know. And I was so crazy because I was thinking a year ago right now I had just written the Wall Street Journal op-ed.

Oh, that's right. February. Which by the way, it's so funny because I was rereading the comments of that journal op-ed which which back a year ago I didn't do because back then I was,
