Congratulations.

You've made it through another week, and as your heavenly reward, we offer to you this gift.

No, it's not the finest jewels, rubies, and sapphires.

No, it's not a stretch limousine ride to your favorite museum.

And no, it's not a salad bar.

Heaven's scent with all your favorite high-value proteins, nuts, and leafy greens.

It is instead another bewilderingly wonderful episode of your favorite podcast.

And also your mom's favorite podcast election profit makers with me your co-host came on and I'm joined on the line way down

south and North Carolina by none other than like a guy hey, how you doing?

Hey, everyone out there in podcast land.

John, I'm so excited because you have a major surgery coming up.

Why don't you share with our listeners the follow-up to your incredible hearing aid story?

Well, in two weeks, I will be getting LASIC vision correction surgery, which is something I've always been curious about.

And now I figured since I can hear, it'll be nice to be able to see.

You know, since my eyes have changed as I've gotten older, I'm at the point now where I'm wearing contacts and reading glasses.

And I have like so many different sets of glasses.

So what I'd like to do is just have my eyes fixed and then just wear reading glasses pretty much all the time.

And let me get this straight.

They're going to fix your eyes by shooting a laser gun at them.

Luke Skywalker, paging Dr. Luke Skywalker, the droids have escaped from the Death Star.

Yeah, that's, I mean, didn't you apparently used to work in a doctor's office that did this?

Yes, John, it's true.
