This is the Concealed Carry podcast, episode number 489.

And welcome to the Concealed Carry podcast, part of the Concealed Carry.com network.

I am your host, Riley Bowman. And I have with me here,

Mr. Podcast producer and recently promoted, is it managing editor? Yeah, I think that's what you call on me.

I don't know. I think so. Yeah. I know what we can call you. My official title changed, regardless of if Jacob likes it or not, to director of all things awesome. And we could make yours director of all things almost awesome. Right, right, right. Or awesomer, I think. Oh, okay. I'll give me that. You at least, you know, wear an awesomer beard than I do at present.

Well, right now. We'll see how long it lasts, but.

Well, folks, welcome to the podcast. We're thrilled to be with you. We are, you know, here approaching very soon in

a little more than 10 episodes, episode 500. Get ready for that. Don't know what we're going to do,

but we will do something special for episode 500. It's a huge milestone for us. And coincidentally,

it also happens to come around the time that we have been

doing the podcast for five years actually just over five years now at this point and we just recently

had our five millionth download of the podcast five million episodes downloaded by podcast listeners.

I wanted to give you all my own heartfelt appreciation and shout out.

Thank you, everyone, for all that you've done for us in being a part of this journey,

these past five years, 500 almost episodes, and five million

of them downloaded.

Thank you.

Yeah.

We wouldn't be doing it if you weren't listening.

Right.

And there are a lot of podcasts that deal with, you know, maybe some of the topics that we

cover, right?
