Now that you know exactly how to set up your own podcast, now to edit it yourself and so on. Well, we'll find out, I guess. If people are hearing this, that means I did it correctly. That's right. Yeah. So for the first time ever, Aaron's going to be doing the mixing and the posting tomorrow of today's podcast. It's Thursday night. We are at Bunnies in, what, is this St. Louis Park now?

Big blockbuster. You might not get another opportunity to talk about a big pitching move. So, yeah, John taught me to do it. |
