Sup, you beautiful bastard. Hope you have a fantastic Wednesday. Welcome back to the Philip

DeFranco Show. Buckle up, hit that like button and let's just jump into it. And the first

thing we're gonna talk about today is very brief, just happy birthday Canada. When it comes to

the Philip DeFranco show, you are the second largest audience, I imagine because you're like,

what the hell's happening down there? But for whatever reason, you're a part of this. Thank you. I will also say the nicest emails and messages I ever get. It's always Canadians and also the Irish. Yeah, I love you. Even though people often kind of think of Canadians as just one people and it's not that. Back when we did live shows, one my favorite things to do is when we were in Vancouver, I'd be like, man, you know, I come to Canada, I love the people in Toronto, and whenai announcing to his audience today that he's going to be taking a one month break for a number of reasons, including mental health. I will say it warms my heart to see that the audience in general was very accepting and understanding, which I will say as far as communities go online six years ago, I feel like that wouldn't be the case for a lot of audiences. A lot over the years, I think a lot of people have realized, like, the people that we look at on videos and in papers that they're actual people.

And while I'm not announcing that I'm taking some sort of break right now, we did just finish the first part of 2020.

And so now my mind is on the end of 2020, which if you've been watching the show for at least the last two, three years, I've been eyeing the end of 2020 as the place to potentially end this version of the Philip DeFranco show.

Now, as far as what that means and what that looks like, I don't, I haven't fully figured

that out yet. Right now, my plan is to continue on until the election and then figure it out

sometime in the month after that, then take that Christmas break as I always do, and hopefully figure it out by then.

That said, I do wanna make something clear.

No matter what, everything ends up looking like,

I'm not abandoning you.

Even though this job is sometimes miserable

because 24-7 you're kind of having to look

at the worst of the world, I love it.

I made this show because as a younger man,

I cared about the world and I didn't really have anyone to talk to I didn't have a community a place to belong

Over the years I've found so many of you that are like yes I'm on for the ride as well and I hope you feel that too

I know some of you do have a community.

And I still want to talk to you about the world and what's happening and what's important, things that you may have already seen from a different angle or things you've never heard of.

I think that I can also do it in a hopefully more sustainable and different, hopefully higher quality way.
