I would rather have a church that becomes condensed and much smaller, but what you have left

with the remnants are people who are really on fire with the faith, really believe in it.

And so I say that's fine.

Trim the fat.

I mean, not that you had much of a choice in this. I mean, like you sort of work here.

I feel like you're you had much of a choice in this.

I mean, like you started to work here.

I feel like you're scraping the bottom of the barrel a little bit, having me on here.

But, I mean, I appreciate it. Okay, well, for those of us who don't know anything about your background, except that you sit in cards and have a beard and are dower.

What's your background?

How did you get to the point where you get paid to,

sit in cars and write columns and be dower and have a beard?

You know, it's, it's, What's your background? How did you get to the point where you get paid to sit in cars and write columns and B. Dower and have a beard?

You know, it's a really uninteresting story, but I think it began with, I was kind of a terrible student.

So people ask me all the time, did you go to college? And what did you go to college for?

Did you go to college for signaling cars and screaming into a phone? And the answer is no. I didn't go to college. I was a pretty bad student. Barely graduated high school.

I don't know why I'm mentioning all this, but it's true. In fact, I didn't even know that I was going to graduate high school until the way that I found out as I went to the graduation rehearsal,

which for some reason you have to rehearse walking across the stage,

and I knew that if I went to the rehearsal and my name was on a seat,

so I had an assigned seat, then I'm going to graduate, and I'm going to get to, and so it was, and so that was that story.

And I kind of bounced around for a while, but I knew that I wanted to somehow sort of be engaged in the conversation on a public level.

I didn't really know how to go about doing that, so I figured maybe one way is to get into radio, which is what I did for about seven years.
