Greetings, dear listeners. This is another exciting episode of the Remnant podcast now with Dispatch Media,

host of the Dispatch.com, the G-File, and other floor waxes and dessert toppings.

And this episode of the Remnant is brought to you by the online trading academy. More about that in a little bit.

Really, okay. Yeah, I'm first generation. Both of my parents are immigrants from Cairo.

differently each time they say it. So you came very close, closer to the most.

Is there a, what is the correct correct is Alifi? Alifi.
