1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:09,440
 Okay, so you won't know this, but this is literally the second attempt to recording this

2
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:11,940
 fucking podcast episode this morning.

3
00:00:11,940 --> 00:00:15,700
 I have no idea what happened.

4
00:00:15,700 --> 00:00:20,900
 I was over at my other recording desk, the one that I actually run the radio station

5
00:00:20,900 --> 00:00:27,040
 off of, WRTO.fm, and I mean, I've been recording perfectly fine.

6
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:57,020
 I've done a lot of this. I've done a lot of this. I've done a lot of

7
00:00:57,020 --> 00:01:01,220
 calling number, and you can text it. I'll get into that in a bit, but I have no idea what

8
00:01:01,220 --> 00:01:07,840
 happened. I mean, I thought I was copying over what I had recorded, spent about 40 minutes

9
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:15,420
 recording it, and I go to start editing it, and I'm like, wait a minute, this is from last

10
00:01:15,420 --> 00:01:22,160
 week. This is a Morning Drip episode, and even though it was just happily showing me that it

11
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:52,140
. I was recording, it was recording, it was a recording, it was a

12
00:01:52,140 --> 00:02:00,600
 1122 days of alcohol retirement. Around May 27th, I celebrated my three-year soberversary,

13
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:07,020
 and I had thought about trying to put something together and record around that time, but I just

14
00:02:07,020 --> 00:02:17,280
 didn't. Life got in the way, etc., etc., etc. So there's that, and I'll try to condense this

15
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:23,660
 episode a little bit better than the first attempt. I've been working on a lot of coding

16
00:02:23,660 --> 00:02:31,200
 projects with Cloud Code and recently using OpenAI's codecs, and I'll be the first to tell you,

17
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:36,820
 because I joke with my son, Tyler, and his older brother, Devin, that I am a toddler with a hand

18
00:02:36,820 --> 00:02:40,800
 grenade when it comes to this kind of stuff, because I am not a software developer. I'm not a software

19
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:46,440
 engineer. I have mentioned this before. The last time I dabbled in any real software,

20
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:54,340
 quote, real in air quotes, was back in Visual Basic when I wrote a work order program for back

21
00:02:54,340 --> 00:03:00,040
 when I was working at CityNet, and I just needed something that would streamline the process instead

22
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:07,720
 of those damn forms that we were using. So what really got me started on using the Cloud Code was,

23
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:14,420
 I've got this one client. They make forklifts, and one day we were actually talking about something

24
00:03:14,420 --> 00:03:21,600
 else, and the CEO of the company, who's a friend of mine, sent me a picture of this form that the

25
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:28,460
 dealers use for filling out to get compensated for warranty repairs, because this company, they sell

26
00:03:28,460 --> 00:03:33,240
 the forklifts to the dealer, and the dealer, of course, handles the transaction, selling it to the

27
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:38,780
 incline, that kind of thing. And I thought, well, shit, this will be a great opportunity to see how

28
00:03:38,780 --> 00:03:45,080
 well this thing can actually do something like this. So I believe that was a Thursday morning. By that

29
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:50,280
 Thursday afternoon, about four o'clock, I called him and I got him to take a look at it. So anyway,

30
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:58,860
 we've been working on that. It'll allow the dealers to register themselves so they can go in and

31
00:03:58,860 --> 00:04:05,700
 actually complete the warranty registration. They can submit warranty claims if they need to.

32
00:04:05,700 --> 00:04:12,840
 There's also an area where certain forklift models will have manuals that only dealers can get access

33
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:22,100
 to, you know, that type of thing. So it may be the first project that I actually use clog code for that

34
00:04:22,100 --> 00:04:27,880
 I'll get paid for because the owner understands that I'm, I put this together to make their lives easier

35
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:34,400
 and they're not getting it for free. Some pet projects. I love bulletin board systems. We used to

36
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:40,340
 run a, it was a company I worked for back in the nineties, Colony Telephone. They were a

37
00:04:40,340 --> 00:04:48,660
 Radio Shack franchise, uh, dealer. Uh, the owner of the company was a been with AT&T for 23 years,

38
00:04:48,660 --> 00:04:56,800
 maintaining microwave, uh, microwave towers. Matter of fact, the automated beacon that is on these

39
00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:03,220
 towers that are above 200 feet so that airplanes and what have you can see those. He developed that.

40
00:05:03,220 --> 00:05:07,920
 He just didn't keep the patent up, which I always told him when he told me that story, I should,

41
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:14,840
 somebody should have kicked him in the ass. Anyway, around 93 or 94, we decided that we,

42
00:05:14,840 --> 00:05:20,580
 we were late to the game. We, we shouldn't have done this, but we ran our own, we started our own

43
00:05:20,580 --> 00:05:25,720
 bulletin board system right there in good old Fitzgerald, Georgia. It was two lines and it was

44
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:33,560
 called Peach Online. And I literally was running wildcat bulletin board software in DOS, uh, boxes under

45
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:43,160
 OS 2 and it worked great. We also had a six disc Pioneer, uh, CD changer that was, had a shit ton of

46
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:48,400
 shareware. Cause that's the thing you did is you downloaded a bunch of shareware off of bulletin boards.

47
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:55,120
 We also did echo mail and internet mail. Uh, we had an automated process where every night at midnight,

48
00:05:55,120 --> 00:06:00,260
 it would call up and send out all of them, all of the, you got to keep in mind, this was real time

49
00:06:00,260 --> 00:06:05,380
 email for bulletin boards. Wasn't really a thing at that point. And so it would send out all the email

50
00:06:05,380 --> 00:06:10,420
 to go into the, to internet email and echo mail and all of that. And we had a satellite dish

51
00:06:10,420 --> 00:06:17,480
 that every night would also pull down all of the incoming mail and what was called bag files. It was dot B-A-G.

52
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:24,020
 And then the wildcat system had an automated process where it would take that and break it apart and put

53
00:06:24,020 --> 00:06:29,860
 it on all the various, uh, discussion groups and echo mail and that kind of thing. So we ran that

54
00:06:29,860 --> 00:06:34,900
 probably for about six months or so. And then of course the internet basically killed most bulletin boards

55
00:06:34,900 --> 00:06:41,700
 at the time. But, uh, I was like, you know what, can I, can I make a BBS emulator that kind of looks

56
00:06:41,700 --> 00:06:47,780
 like wildcat? And the short answer was yes, it's over at bbs.anero.com. Funny thing though, is my

57
00:06:47,780 --> 00:06:54,420
 wife and my daughter were going through our massive, uh, CD collection the other day and actually came

58
00:06:54,420 --> 00:07:04,200
 across, I still have it, wildcat five for windows 95 and windows NT, the disc with the key in the

59
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:10,700
 registration code for a 16 line count. And also in this thing is something called project annihilator,

60
00:07:10,700 --> 00:07:17,040
 which was the first true 32 bit client server BBS. Uh, they were, they were doing their damnedest.

61
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:22,620
 I think the wildcat five got renamed to the, the net server platform. They were doing their damnedest to

62
00:07:22,620 --> 00:07:28,100
 compete, uh, with the internet, tried to, I guess, integrate with the internet, kind of like what AOL

63
00:07:28,100 --> 00:07:33,500
 did there for a while. They eventually went out of business and somebody at some other company,

64
00:07:33,500 --> 00:07:40,180
 it starts with an S I can never remember actually owns the license for the wildcat stuff. But so what

65
00:07:40,180 --> 00:07:47,560
 I'm trying to do now is since I have the bonafide thing, I found a copy of windows 95, uh, rather

66
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:55,560
 98 SE second edition, got it running, um, running in some, it's under proxmox. I run everything under

67
00:07:55,560 --> 00:08:01,900
 proxmox and, uh, trying to get the networking situated because what I want to do is I want to run

68
00:08:01,900 --> 00:08:09,980
 this and instead of having Claude make this BBS, uh, uh, emulator, which I essentially have done,

69
00:08:09,980 --> 00:08:16,520
 I, I want it just to be a front end that actually uses Xterm or whatever to actually come in and hit

70
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:22,160
 the true wildcat server. So, you know, I'll keep you updated on whether I get that project working

71
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:29,540
 or not. And so, um, yeah, because you know, we had gotten to the point with BBSs. So if you dialed

72
00:08:29,540 --> 00:08:34,240
 into a bulletin board system, you had to have some communication software, like procom plus Q

73
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:40,360
 modem, something like that. And, uh, right there at the end, because all the bulletin boards were

74
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:45,440
 basically, they were just text or they were antsy texts where you actually would get color and things

75
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:51,920
 of that nature. But then they started implementing this thing called rip, rip graphics and bulletin

76
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:57,140
 board software started supporting it. And then of course, your client had to support it because what it

77
00:08:57,140 --> 00:09:06,440
 would do is it would send directions, um, basically code, if you will, to your client software that would

78
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:12,720
 then paint the screen. So you'd get these nice, nice buttons that you could press with a mouse or you

79
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:19,780
 could move, you know, tab over and stuff like that. And so you had to have a rip graphics enabled BBS

80
00:09:19,780 --> 00:09:26,640
 software and you'd have to have rip graphics, uh, enabled client. And I think Q modem did support that

81
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:32,140
 right there at the end. Procom plus may have eventually, but, but then the internet came in

82
00:09:32,140 --> 00:09:35,980
 and basically cut all of that. There's still some bulletin boards out there that actually take calls

83
00:09:35,980 --> 00:09:44,080
 over the phone lines. But if you do a search for wildcat, you will find listings for active wildcat

84
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:50,300
 installations, but you connect to them via telnet because it did support that. A few other things I've

85
00:09:50,300 --> 00:09:56,240
 been working on, um, I did a podcast membership and hosting platform called Podscope. You want to check

86
00:09:56,240 --> 00:10:05,180
 it out. It's over at podscope.cc. I'm actually using it at tiftonmediaworks.com. I developed a document

87
00:10:05,180 --> 00:10:08,960
 management system because I didn't like what was available out there. I think there's one called

88
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:16,800
 paperless GX or GL or something like that. Probably great, um, a great project. It was just

89
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:22,240
 way too out of scope. Funny for what I'm about to tell you, this project's called, but what I needed,

90
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:28,520
 uh, because all my documents are stored on shares on my Synology NAS on my internal network. And so I just

91
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:34,600
 needed something that could monitor those, um, put it into a database and, you know, basically make it

92
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:41,960
 searchable. So I created a project called scope and that's what it does. It runs in a privileged LXE

93
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:50,460
 container because of SMB issues for unprivileged LXE containers. And it monitors two shares that I have

94
00:10:50,460 --> 00:10:58,000
 on my NAS. And as soon as it detects new documents, whether it's PDFs or whether it's, um, graphics files,

95
00:10:58,220 --> 00:11:05,020
 it takes it, it OCRs it, and then it shoots it over to another container that I've got running Ollama

96
00:11:05,020 --> 00:11:14,600
 where it's using one of the models to take the OCR text, summarize it, and then suggest tags and then

97
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:20,260
 stores it. And then I can, you know, I can see it in a listing. I can bring it up. I can, honestly,

98
00:11:20,260 --> 00:11:25,120
 I can download it if I want to, but I mean, it's already on my server. And so that's worked really

99
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:30,880
 great. I think that one's publicly available. Uh, I have a Git repository that I run at

100
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:37,820
 get.knowthenerds.com. So any of my public projects are there. So you can, you can check them out and

101
00:11:37,820 --> 00:11:42,660
 see what's available. I redid my radio station with Cloud Code. I basically said, Hey, look, uh,

102
00:11:42,660 --> 00:11:48,840
 redesign this thing and let's create some cool player widgets and integrate some weather and all of that.

103
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:54,820
 So go check that out at wrto.fm. I actually have a couple of containers. Uh, one is a watchdog that

104
00:11:54,820 --> 00:12:00,940
 that watches to see if radio DJ, which is a free play out software I use has stopped playing. And if

105
00:12:00,940 --> 00:12:07,820
 so, it will try to fire it off using API code, uh, calls to start it back up. Uh, there's another one

106
00:12:07,820 --> 00:12:14,740
 that as I add new music, it scans the file and tries to write the cue markers for the intros.

107
00:12:14,740 --> 00:12:21,820
 Uh, and the big one, the big one I'm working on is called core. It's an MSP dashboard. I currently use,

108
00:12:21,820 --> 00:12:25,540
 uh, uh, and the MSP services of a company called enable.

109
00:12:25,540 --> 00:12:31,380
 And so my friend Ben started working on his own platform and I was like, well, let me, let me, me to me.

110
00:12:31,380 --> 00:12:37,780
 Okay. And so I call mine core. And honestly, I, I love what it's been able to do so far.

111
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:43,580
 Uh, we have this, we use this methodology where he calls his sentinels. I call mine centuries,

112
00:12:43,580 --> 00:12:49,460
 but they're, they're little nodes, if you will, whether it's, uh, in a Docker container, which I

113
00:12:49,460 --> 00:12:55,520
 recently got working or an LXE container or a dedicated PC, whether that's just like an old

114
00:12:55,520 --> 00:13:02,480
 throwaway PC that won't run windows 11, but it's, it's a Linux based software that checks in with the

115
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:09,380
 dashboard. My century checks into core using cloud flare tunnels. And this, and whenever I need to

116
00:13:09,380 --> 00:13:14,200
 create a new century, like I add a new client, I create a century. It creates the tokens and

117
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:19,920
 everything so that the century can be deployed and connect securely back to core over cloud

118
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:26,220
 flares tunneling network. I also can deploy a piece of software called scout, which runs in

119
00:13:26,220 --> 00:13:34,280
 the tray. That, uh, is how I pull telemetry. I've integrated my, my rust desk relay server to be able

120
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:42,380
 to basically go to an endpoint in core, tell it, I want to connect via rust desk and can get right into

121
00:13:42,380 --> 00:13:52,600
 the machine and assess the client. And, uh, I can image a PC using WIM limit, uh, lib X, I think is

122
00:13:52,600 --> 00:14:00,240
 what it's called anyway, with a Dism fallback. And then I can have it create, uh, an ISO so that I can

123
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:06,840
 throw that in Hyper-V or Proxmox and get a machine back up and going if I need to, or if I just need to

124
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:12,560
 take it and, you know, image it to, uh, uh, another drive and then throw it in the machine. Maybe the,

125
00:14:12,560 --> 00:14:17,660
 you know, the drive started dying on us or something and we caught it in time. A lot of functionality,

126
00:14:17,660 --> 00:14:23,460
 a lot of functionality, been doing a lot. My brain's on fire with all kinds of crap that we

127
00:14:23,460 --> 00:14:29,940
 can do. I've got two projects in the pipeline. One I've started working on, uh, I use 3CX as a phone

128
00:14:29,940 --> 00:14:35,840
 server for my client and for myself, but a conversation with my friend Ben the other day made me think,

129
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:44,200
 well, hell, can I build using asterisk as the, as the foundation, my own 3CX like package?

130
00:14:44,700 --> 00:14:53,660
 And the answer is yes. So I have it designed. And what I've started doing is because Opus is smarter

131
00:14:53,660 --> 00:15:00,020
 when it comes to Claude, but it does burn up more tokens. I have Opus do the design specifically so

132
00:15:00,020 --> 00:15:07,220
 that Sonnet can build it. Then I have Sonnet build it. Then I have Opus do a final code review for

133
00:15:07,220 --> 00:15:12,320
 security vulnerabilities and, and basically just shit that doesn't work right. And here lately,

134
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:20,040
 I've started using open AI as codecs to go behind Claude and do a review. And then I have Claude

135
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:28,000
 Opus review codecs, review and requirements and see if it agrees and then do the fixes and what have

136
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:35,840
 you. So I feel like, because my son Tyler is big thing is he's not anti AI, but even in his line of

137
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:42,800
 work, he's, he's realizing that again, toddler with a hand grenade, there are some junior developers out

138
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:48,960
 there that are just blindly following what the AI tells them. And you know, it's, it's a trust,

139
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:55,180
 but verify. And in this situation, it's a trust, but verify, verify, verify. And so that's what I've,

140
00:15:55,180 --> 00:16:00,200
 I've started doing. And, um, I'm sure there's other little projects that I'm, cause every time I come up

141
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:05,500
 with an idea, I'm like, Ooh, let me scope that out and start working on a project. I've got one right

142
00:16:05,500 --> 00:16:12,700
 now that I started yesterday. We're in like phase four, uh, out of eight. Uh, I use FreshBooks at

143
00:16:12,700 --> 00:16:19,360
 freshbooks.com to do all the billing for my clients. Uh, I can do, you know, I can do manually generated

144
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:26,200
 invoices. I can do automated invoices for people that are under contract. Um, it can do auto pay and

145
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:33,360
 stuff like that. But when I started out with them years ago, it was $25 and now it's $38 a month.

146
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:38,360
 And so I was like, can I build my own? Because I already use Stripe, you know, with FreshBooks,

147
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:44,700
 I have my own Stripe account, Tifton Media Works, that management platform where, you know, I drop,

148
00:16:44,700 --> 00:16:52,240
 I drop episodes of the morning drip that I do, uh, for free for seven days. And then it goes behind

149
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:59,080
 to paywall. All of that membership architecture connects with a company that I have one, one of

150
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:05,740
 a couple of companies I have with Stripe. So I was like, let me see. Am I, do I expect to get away

151
00:17:05,740 --> 00:17:12,000
 from FreshBooks in the next couple of weeks? Oh, hell no. This is a proof of concept. What can I build?

152
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:18,080
 And let's figure out what functionality that FreshBooks actually has that this doesn't have,

153
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:23,880
 and that I can't duplicate, you know, that kind of thing. I'm, I don't think there's too much that I

154
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:31,000
 can't duplicate, especially with the fact that I'm not storing credit cards, but Stripe handles all of

155
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:39,000
 that. The only thing I have in question is I currently can do ACH, which only costs me a percent

156
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:44,860
 of the total with FreshBooks. I don't know if Stripe can do that or if I have to set up an account

157
00:17:44,860 --> 00:17:49,880
 with Plaid or something like that. I don't know. We'll get there. We'll figure it out. But I'm having

158
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:55,500
 a lot of fun with this stuff. And it's also helping me diagnose some issues with clients.

159
00:17:55,500 --> 00:18:04,900
 Yeah. AI is here to stay. That's all I can say. Should we blindly follow it and run into the ditch

160
00:18:04,900 --> 00:18:10,380
 when it, when it basically is going to drive us there? I mean, no, but we got it. I'm using it to

161
00:18:10,380 --> 00:18:16,860
 boost what I can do in my job, in my company, but I'm not using it to replace anybody because,

162
00:18:16,860 --> 00:18:22,300
 well, there's only me. So if AI can replace me, I mean, that's great. If I could still make money

163
00:18:22,300 --> 00:18:27,480
 and not have to worry about it. And every time a client had a problem, they just talk to the AI,

164
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:31,660
 not even realizing they're talking to the AI and it could solve their problem and they're happy,

165
00:18:31,660 --> 00:18:36,820
 then I'd be happy. But we're not there yet. I know that's where my friend Ben is trying to head,

166
00:18:36,820 --> 00:18:41,840
 but I'm not sure. I still like to have my hands into it because I don't want to lose the knowledge

167
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:53,840
 that I've gained over the last 35 years of being in technology. So anyway, yeah, I think that gets you

168
00:18:53,840 --> 00:19:00,880
 kind of caught up on that aspect of it. As I'm recording this, today is the 22nd of June. Yesterday

169
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:07,160
 was father's day and, um, okay. It was, it was, it was a, it was a day. It was okay. Yeah. I've got

170
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:14,020
 three kids, but my youngest, my daughter is 29. So, uh, she did something for me like she does for,

171
00:19:14,020 --> 00:19:21,140
 for me and for her mom, uh, every year. Um, she made me some red velvet sandwich cookies. Now you may

172
00:19:21,140 --> 00:19:28,060
 be asking yourself, what is a red velvet sandwich cookie? So a few years ago, my daughter came across

173
00:19:28,060 --> 00:19:35,020
 this recipe. And so she essentially takes cake mix, but I think she reduces the amount of liquid

174
00:19:35,020 --> 00:19:43,060
 that goes in it. And so instead of it churning out a cake texture, it turns out something that's in

175
00:19:43,060 --> 00:19:50,260
 between cake and cookie. So it's not like tears apart, like cake does, but it doesn't, it's not

176
00:19:50,260 --> 00:19:55,340
 like stiff and crunchy. Like some cookies are, it kind of melts in your mouth. And so she takes

177
00:19:55,340 --> 00:20:00,880
 that, makes it out of red velvet cake mix and then takes buttercream icing and sandwiches that

178
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:08,120
 between the two halves. So you have red velvet, uh, cookies or sandwich cookies and they are fucking

179
00:20:08,120 --> 00:20:14,520
 awesome, man. Fucking awesome. So she made those Friday and yesterday for lunch, my wife was going

180
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:21,200
 to do these, um, Philly cheesesteak meatballs, but we wound up buying the wrong vegetable mix for that.

181
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:25,380
 And it really, it seemed to upset her. And I told her, I said, honey, don't worry about it.

182
00:20:25,380 --> 00:20:29,680
 You know, next weekend, if you want to do it, that's great. Just because it's Father's Day,

183
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:35,360
 no big deal. What's our, what's our plan B? So we wound up having chili. And then we watched, uh,

184
00:20:35,360 --> 00:20:40,720
 the Super Mario Galaxy movie, which it was, it was good to me. It's not as good as the first movie,

185
00:20:40,740 --> 00:20:46,320
 but it was good. And then we watched, uh, alien Romulus. So if you're, if you like alien,

186
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:51,380
 the alien franchise and alien movies, it was pretty good. It was pretty good. I, I enjoyed it.

187
00:20:51,380 --> 00:20:57,060
 Not, it's not the type of movie my wife likes, but she sat there and watched it with us too. So that

188
00:20:57,060 --> 00:21:02,300
 was my, that was my Father's Day. I, you know, the Mother's Day and the Father's Day things,

189
00:21:02,300 --> 00:21:09,200
 I, you know, we, we don't go crazy over that. Um, it's just another day. Okay. Thank you. I

190
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:15,380
 appreciate it. You, you wish me happy Father's Day. Um, the cookies are nice and, and I enjoyed the day,

191
00:21:15,380 --> 00:21:20,960
 but I don't expect any kind of special treatment or anything like that. So, I mean, that's kind of

192
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:25,740
 the way I feel on my birthday. You know, I didn't have anything to do with the, of the fact that I was

193
00:21:25,740 --> 00:21:33,280
 born. It just was, you know, so if you're a father, I hope you, uh, hope you had a great

194
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:38,260
 Father's Day yesterday. And I think since this is my second attempt and I'm not going to be able to

195
00:21:38,260 --> 00:21:42,480
 cover everything that I did in the first attempt. And I know this one's going to be shorter than the

196
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:48,440
 first attempt. I'm going to bid you adieu. If you are on a sobriety journey, I wish you well. I hope

197
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:54,740
 you're doing great. Um, yeah, cause it's a journey. You know, I know, can't believe I've made it

198
00:21:54,740 --> 00:22:00,040
 three years. First time ever. And I'm just going to keep going, keep moving on. Uh, if you want to

202
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:26,920
 this podcast, uh, before then, who knows? It might not even be in July. If I don't have anything to say,
