0:03.5	Hi, I'm Mike Rowe, and it's come to my attention that my podcast, the way I heard it with
0:07.7	Mike Rowe, has been downloaded 400 million times.
0:11.9	Now, I realize there are other podcasts out there that have been downloaded more than
0:15.4	mine, but still 400 million.
0:17.3	It's a lot of downloads, and I was hoping that you'd make it 400 million and one.
0:22.6	No pressure. I know there's only so much time in your day and lots of other terrific podcasts to listen

0:56.9	I sure hope that person is you.
0:59.8	Hello, everybody.

1:09.4	you can do so for a $25 or more donation to the podcast's PayPal account at Disaster Area atmail.com or the podcast
1:17.8	Venmo at Disaster Area Podcast. Just add the name of the disaster you'd like me to cover to the
1:22.8	notes on your donation, and I will add it to my list. Please bear with me. I am legitimately terrible
1:28.3	about responding to messages, but rest assured that I will add your request to the list.
1:32.8	And if it's been a while since you sent in your request, feel free to shoot me an email or message
