Hey Jason, how we doing? Oh good. It's a little little toastie here. It's been a hot couple of days but other than that you know that

I mean it's mid-summer what what can I say I just when you said 198 it occurred to me

we're creeping up on yet another milestone for the show here,

episode 200.

Yeah, absolutely.

It's coming up pretty soon.

We're thinking about having a special guest.

We're not going to do a whole lot of fanfare

or anything special for it just because we're

sinking a lot of resources and time and stuff into

where will be July 15th, 16th, and 17th, and that's the wind-up watchfare in Chicago at Venue West.

We're going to have some merchandise to sell, we're going to have some programming

to do, we're going to be standing around and chatting with a lot of you we hope. We've rambled on, well let's be clear, I've

rambled on about this on the past, you know, five or six episodes at at this point but we'd love to see you

there if you can make it it's going to be a great show there's going to be a lot of

fantastic brands and again that's July 15th 16th and I guess in some ways we'll

consider that kind of the party the hangout the whatever for episode 200 but we're gonna keep cranking 200 for whatever reason feels less special than 100

I'm not certain why maybe maybe because a lot of podcasts don't make it 200 but maybe if you make it to 100

200's a little bit easier you just kind of stay in the stream try not to drown yeah

maybe we've gotten jaded I don't know mean 200 is, do a lot of other podcasts number of their episodes? I haven't really paid much attention to that, but 200 does seem big.
