You know how Paige and I struggle to get episodes out every week? Well, we actually recording two back to back. So we just record it one a few minutes ago. But don't tell him, my shh. Just real quick, I want to throw this real quick before we get into the questions and everything. This is from Juan. Mark, great podcasts. Awesome. Can you link me with Julian Clement, the person you put your name? The person asking about the donations to provide welding train. I work for a major midstream company. I have welding inspection background. So I connected to two and they're working together. Oh, that's awesome. So oil and gas this week does a lot of different things, but sometimes it brings two people together to help other underprivileged people. That's great. One of the most beautiful things in the world. So Juan, thanks for reaching out. Thanks for listening. And audience, you know what? When you hear me say stuff, if you want to play a role, reach out.
