Well, for the first time in seven years, I am going to miss an episode.

I apologize.

For those of you who don't know, I was recording with Thomas this past Sunday and a

thunderstorm rolled in lightning the internet went out and when I went to check and see if the power had gone out in other parts of the house,

lightning took out my computer.

So I'm working on a laptop and the laptop is not going to be great to do

interviews or release anything and so Thomas and I are going to wrap up

that episode that we were halfway through.

And I'll probably release that on Friday.

I'm gonna be talking with the Prudentialist tomorrow and we're going to be talking about

foreign policy, especially any updates about Ukraine, anything that's happening in Niger and other places and maybe I'll get you something else

I'm going to appear on another podcast the Doom Kitchen and I might really set on my channel because the topic we're talking about is something that I've written about recently

But it's something that I haven't talked about on the show really not much I think I've talked about it on other people's shows so

Just want to let everyone know that

Sorry about missing an episode for the first time and forever. It feels really, really odd.

But I do want to thank everybody who joined in to help me out getting a new computer.

I got the computer I wanted, I ordered it,

and then I mentioned that I needed to get a new computer

and people just immediately started donating and within 15 minutes I had the price of the new computer and people just kept sending money and I'm going to use that money to promote the show more, maybe buy some

more equipment and try to just increase the quality and the look of this.

I just can't express how

incredibly moved I was that everybody just jumped to and you know helped out with a new move
