Hey, Bo, good morning, man.

Good morning to you, too, sir.

How are you doing this morning?

I'm doing great.

I'm doing great.

Man, the coffee's good and the company's better. And, yeah, just trying to wake up. too, sir. How are you doing this morning? I'm doing great. Yeah. Man, the coffee's good and the company's better and, uh, yeah, just trying to wake up. Yeah, man. I hear that. I hear that. But you know, it's, it's, this is a, this is a fun time to wake up because you and I, uh, just had a really, really awesome experience last night. We did. Yeah, this was, this was pretty special. You know, so we've got this new, we've got this new series. This is the beginning of a new series, which is, uh, our finer things series. Yeah. And, uh, we need to set this up. I don't want to spend too much time setting it up, because it does kind of speak for itself, I think. But with this series, we wanted to, uh, explore are some different topics, some different areas that, you know, you and I, we've enjoyed a little bit of success over the last couple of years. Well, we've had, yeah, I mean, you know, it's been, it's been good. I know, it's a weird thing to say, it's been good for our businesses and, you know, we're doing okay. We're doing all right. Yeah. We're doing good. And it's that's it's it's always an awkward thing to say especially just with the pandemic but there's a lot

where we want to explore. If you're going to do something, do it right. Yeah. We on a previous episode,

we actually talked about how, gosh, was it the, I guess it was from the library where you talked, we had the quote about, you know, being discerning with kind of those cheaper purchases. Yeah. Because you want to do something. Make them count, even though they, you know, society or culture might tell you they're disposable or whatever. Exactly. Well, so finer things is kind of that, but the other side of that. Yeah. It's when you're going to spend some money, you want to know that you're actually getting something good. Like, there's some things that you can spend a lot of money on and you wasted your money. Yeah. And there's some things that you could actually spend your money on that was nourishing to your soul. What did you say matter matters? And matter matters. Yeah. Yeah. It does. It's a part of our
