There's a better way to do this.

Let me show you a better way.

A better way.

And we are live. Welcome folks to episode 3,451 and I just realized something looking at that.

I guess we're kind of sort of heading for a landmark episode. I guess a real big next

landmark episode is quite a way off in the future a little over 1500

episodes of you know episode 5,000 that would be a pretty big deal.

But 3,500 just kind of feels like it, maybe we'll do something special, I don't know yet.

We've done some other episodes like that. We had people call in and tell their story or whatever. They will do something with that. That's still quite a ways off, but every once in all I kind of have to pinch myself and be like, you know, we've really been at this 16 years, almost.

Like it'll be 16 years in June.

And it's a great blessing.

So let me say something I don't say enough. Thank you. Thank you so much to everybody in this audience, past, present, and future who has helped me live this life.

Thank you so much because I couldn't do it without you.

It's not just, you know, watching and paying attention and sharing,

but those of you that financially support us

by becoming members of the members brigade doing

business with our sponsors working through T-SPAS to do that sharing the show with

others liking following etc and sharing our post the show

our posts like all of that together is added up to an amazing

community instead of sub communities and me being able to do what I think is the thing I'm supposed to do.

Teach.

I would have never made a good teacher inside the public school system, though when I was young and naive, I actually considered it for a while,
