I'm with Dr David Peter everybody welcome to the podcast walk-ins welcome it's so good to have you

Thank you thank you every sign I passed that says walk-ins welcome I think of how I'm going to be on this podcast.

Heck yeah, see, my branding is working.

I'm like, what people don't realize is I picked this knowing that it was just going to be free

after our land acknowledgement let me talk about our structural difference in power so he
