Hello there, I'm Dennis Prager, this is the Fireside Chat and it's number 298.

The reason I know it and didn't have to look at Megan for the actual number is we're

so approaching 300 that I'm very keenly aware of it.

By the way, there's a great lesson to be learned.

I was just saying it prior to the Fireside Chat in life, progress is made slow and steady.

Do it regularly, not not necessarily a vast amount.

It goes against our nature because we like to procrastinate.

And yet this is a perfect example.

I can't believe it's the 298th, but do it once a week, it mounts up.

Anyway, great to be with you and for those who are new, this is Snoopy.

And Snoopy is the late Otto's brother and he's a terrific Basset Hound.

And we figured we got to get some dog in the dog area.

I don't know how long he'll be here and the answer is not at all.

But you got him.

Okay, buy Snoopy.

By the way, if you have a Basset Hound and an English Bulldog, which is what we now have and had

with Otto, you probably have what I would consider the two funniest breeds of dogs.

That is the Basset Hound and an English Bulldog.

So I usually begin with some thoughts and then take your questions and I have a very quick one

because I want to take as many questions as possible.

Last week, I think I only got to one aside from the video question, right?

So that's, I have a backlog.
