You're listening to the Packernet Podcast Network.

You feel this nervousness on the phone there?

Sir, I've been trying to make an urgent phone call up there.

I don't think it's something I want to do on an overseas phone.

You got to make some phone calls?

Hanging up the phone.

Prank caller!

Prank call it!

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome once again to Packernet After Dark.

This is the call-in show of the Packernet Podcast Network. If you'd like to call in, if you'd like to participate in the show, please feel free to do so. Phone number here is 608-501-07-18. New callers go directly to the front of the line, and guess what? We got a new caller, ladies and gentlemen. New caller. Let me push a couple buttons. Bink, bach, boop, boop, here we go. New caller, what is up? Hey, Ryan. And it's Brian with a B from Pennsylvania. Yes. I'm just calling to share a little bit of gratitude and hope. First of all, you rock, your podcast rock. Thank you.

And all those other podcasters can suck it because you do the job so much better than them.

Yes. I can't stand listening to them at this point. So thanks for making me hate all the other

podcasters, I guess. I don't usually get adversarial with anybody else.

I mean, I think a lot of people do a good job or whatever.

We just have different styles, but that was awesome, and I'm just going to lean into it.

Heck yeah, everyone else can suck it.

You're so good at what you do.

Thank you.

Really appreciate the entertainment value and the quality, depth of information that you provide.

I'm going to request that we always start the show with this.

So I need one person every day to tell me how awesome I am.

Thank you.
