you

Hello, concerned citizens and a special hello to somebody joining us virtually in the anxiety chamber this week, Mr. Tom Merritt.

Feels so good to be here.

I'm here with you listening every week and it's nice that you're responding to what I say this time.

Well, bless your heart as as somebody who fully owns 30% of podcast real estate.

Yeah.
