and we're a better way to do this

and we are live.

About six minutes late, and you guys know how I feel about being late.

I don't like it at all.

I have an allergy to being late.

I'm the guy that when you tell me to be at a place at 5 o'clock,

I'm usually there at about 430 to 440,

unless my travel time is impaired by other individuals.

So I don't like to be late.

But when it comes to being late or a lot of things, you have things called excuses and you have things called reasons, right?

And excuses are just like, well, we all know what excuses are like.

But reasons are like these things actually

occurred in such a way that it made it necessary. And in this case, it's a pretty big and very

good announcement. I've been working on this for a while. As many of you guys know, in the past,

I've interviewed some authors, including Miles Losie uh which is his book whistling past

the graveyard and i got to interview one of my heroes jim shockey uh back about a year and a half ago

on uh his book call me hunter which i thought was a fantastic book and jim of course course, hugely known from the Outdoor Channel stuff and, you know, all the way back into like writing for magazines that I read when I was a little kid.

And so that was a great thing.

And that put me in touch with a publisher representative at Simon & Schuster.

And I've been working on getting another author.

You may know his name on the show.

And that gentleman's name is Brad Thor.
