Hey there, everybody. It's Luke. We are going to get started with the show in just a second.

First though, I wanted to let you know that we are doing our fundraiser,

TBT Elephant 5 Cinco de Nero. This is the one time every year that we come to you and we ask you

if you like the show. If the show is a thing that makes your work day a little more tolerable,

or long drives or maybe rocking your kid to sleep at night, if it's something that you enjoy

and that you use on a pretty regular basis, we are hoping that you might just take like one minute

right now and go over to TBTL.net and support the show. At any dollar amount that you feel comfortable

with, by the way, if you do feel like doing that, we have lots of thank you gifts. And if you're

somebody who's already supported the show, thank you so much. This thing has really only been

happening for the last, God, five years as a podcast only. It's only been happening because of you.

So thank you so much. And if you are somebody who has been meaning to support TBTL and you have

not gotten around to it, I totally understand I am a world class procrastinator. Today in the mail,

I got a city light bill for $456 for our old house in Seattle. Why? Because I procrastinated

on paying the bill. So I completely understand, but if you can go to TBTL.net right now while you're

listening to this show and make a small donation, we will be forever in your debt. And in fact,

with the $456 light bill, we really need that donation now like more than ever. You know what I mean?

All right, then on that note, let's get to today's edition of TBTL. We're adding a little

something to this month's sales contest. As you all know, first prize is a Cadillac Eldorado.

Anybody want to see second prize? Second prize is set to steak knives. Third prize is your fight.

We get the picture. Are you laughing now? You've got leads. You can't close the leads you're given,

you can't close. You are. Hit the bricks, pal, and beat it because you are going out.

I've been in this business 15 years. What's your name?
