Hey, welcome back.

Ah, man, it's a couple days after the election.

It is Friday. You guys are going into the weekend.

But I want to start off by saying this, and I keep saying it over and over again.

I've been getting calls and emails from people.

You know, even the people that are the bad guys are coming through and saying well joe you said

god was at the wheel i don't even know how it happened but it looks like you were right and i was and i

said it four years ago i'm not even sure that I believed myself four years ago. It looked pretty

grim. And the last four years has been really tough. And if you go back and look at the, they call

it like the, the 12th inning, right, or the 12th round. And you go into that round and you think to yourself,

man, can we do it?

It's always darkest before the light. It's unbelievable because I had someone that called me and

he tried to convince me and I put this this post up about four months

ago said i just can't quit so now i'm going to tell you that when your arm wrestling you're at

the last point you know that you have to fight through i wanted to quit i wanted to quit and you know, 178 flights this year.

And I'm thinking to myself, well, I got a pretty good status, always sitting in first class.

But you're away from your family for 178 days.

And it didn't take a toll.

My family had actually made me and my wife and my children much closer.

And but there was moments.

And what's really odd is that the three weeks before the election, everything came into

focus.
