Hi, welcome to another episode of the Standard of Truth podcast.

I'm your host, Dr. Garrett Dirkmont, and I'm joined by my friend Dr. Richard Leduc, who has all kinds of power.

He's like the genie now on Aladdin.

He's ultimate cosmic power, itty-bitty living space. Still in

in itty-bitty living space. Well, today's mortgage rates and housing prices, how could it not be?

Yeah, I know that you told Becky that as soon as you got your PhD in hand, that you would

instantly be making millions of more dollars a year. We're on our 10-year plan now going into our 24th year.

I feel like you just get to keep over-promising and under-delivering,

but just a little bit here and a little bit there delivering so that you string her along.

Yeah, no, much, much like any graduate program, you have to steal their spirit away.

You have to just absolutely crush them.

And eventually they will accept whatever is left.

Yeah.

And that's really the core of our marriage.

Yeah, accepting whatever's left.

It's a great way to be happy.
