The Okay, here we go. It is a Memorial Day weekend podcast. How is everybody doing?

It is BK here.

Thanks for coming on on this very important weekend.

12.15 p.m. here on the West Coast, beautiful San Diego, California.

Please follow me on Twitter throughout the week for breaking news at BK Actual podcast.

And of course, you want to follow me on Instagram at BK Actual.

And yeah, guys, exciting. exciting i mean this is a monumental weekend of course and um also i have to say this is the 150th podcast

pretty pretty wild to think about i never thought when i did podcast number one while sitting

in an up armored vehicle in northern Iraq, using my

iPhone, that it would kind of just take on a life of its own snowball into what it is today.

And what is it today? Well, I have 171 patrons on patreon.com who make me want to keep going with

this every time. As far as numbers, you know, it's difficult to find where

you are, but I know I've seen like stats that say if you get like 3,400 downloads in the first

30 days of a new episode, you're in like the top 10%. And if you get 9,000, you're in the top 5%. And I'm

sitting at like about six right now, 6,000. So, you know,

some are definitely top 10%. And it's an honor that, you know, so many people and it's 99% of

this is word of mouth that you guys go check out the podcast. You enjoy it and you tell other people.

And other people value the international news and politics that you only hear here.

And I want to thank all of you for doing that.
