sword too much.

That's why she's here. I'll just simplify it to say it should have been really easy. But it went like, I'm making this up so you can't really use it. It'd be like something like I would say, all right, the first part is squirrel. And then I try to spell it. It'd be like P J squirrel. A and squirrel. It was the damnedest thing. I've never been that hallucinogenic.

That's awesome, Scott. You deserve the best military-grade drugs.

All right, we're going back. Thank you very much. I'm going to log off now. I'm going to have others jump in. Thank you, Scott, for everything. Some more.

All right. I don't know what that means. Just hit accept. Accept. See if anybody else wants to jump in. Jump in. So let's check. We got some new people. Can I make one more comment? You've been explaining the world to me for the past ten years, Scott, and I am quite intimidated at the prospect of not having those daily explanations. And I'm hoping that this community that you created will somehow step in when you're not there to help understand what's happening in the world. I mean, I hope you have trained all of us to continue to do that. What do you say, Shelly?

Oh, I think we did miss a little bit of the beginning of your... some technical issues here, but yes, we would I would love to keep this going. And you know, again, we're not tech-savvy here. We hope that we can figure this all out and make this a little bit more smooth process. But I think he's got some great people, community here that I think could lead this if we can figure out how the technology of it works.

Yeah. The beginning of it was that Scott's been explaining the world to me for the past ten years and it is quite daunting, the prospect of not having those daily lessons of exactly what everything means and what's going on. And again, I'm hoping that this community of people that you have trained over the past years will step in and I guess selfishly continue to help me do that. I hope so. I really think we could do it.

Might take a little time, but I think we could do it for sure. All right, let's see if Stephen with the headphones on can turn off his microphone.

Okay.

Hello, Stephen.

Hello, Scott. My goodness. I'll add... Well, I don't think I can. I wouldn't be able to probably explain the incredible adventure that has been this entire time that I have had an opportunity to watch you and to learn from you. Now, I am included, I think, among the slightly older group, Gen Xer and so forth and would have been one of those Rush Limbaugh babies that somehow migrated their way to your show. And of course, he was all through high school basically. You know, the lunch I would walk home, run home in order to be able to catch a show in the middle of the day. And so he was an uncle type as I was growing up. Well, naturally and without any hesitation at all, as soon as I stumbled across you and your show, I immediately realized, okay, this is going to be the next type of person to be able to do that. And you absolutely did. And so I admit that I took as much of your advice as I possibly could, that I tried to get myself in trouble often. And I do have a thank you note for you that I made and I suppose I could read it. I don't know how much inside stuff is in here. It was a long time ago that I wrote this, but I didn't want to be among the people who would somehow mysteriously find out where you lived and send you things because I was already potentially beginning to garner a reputation for the sort of person that would do that out of malice. I never would. It was all fun for me. And so I absolutely enjoyed trying to fail my way to wherever I am now. And I promise for those five years, it was the adventure. Well, it's the second adventure of my life. I'd actually retired from the military. I've been in for twenty-four years. So it was a long time. I've had basically a full career doing all of that stuff. And then I had a chance to bring whatever that experience was to you and to my life and my family here. So we go. Don't know how you'll be able to see it or read it, but I thank you.

Okay.

Nice. Nice. All right. Oh, yes. Well, not the thank you part. No, I basically was using the card the base of the card as the thank you foundation for everything and then I would either draw or use emojis whatever fill it. So it just, you know, again, all I did was try to fail my way through trying to copy you, which actually, for most people, I would think that the thing they're missing in their life is they don't have a good enough thing to try to copy and you can do an awful lot just copying somebody else's really good advice or their behavior. So that was probably what I saw. Rush, of course, was somebody who much more than the political person he became, but he proved to me what happens to someone who actually is an ordinary person who happens to become somewhat successful. And then they stumble into the political world and all of a sudden they're either an angel or a devil. So I wrote you a little joke that's based on the experience that I had. I'll see. I mean, I can read it. It's I don't know how much of it would be understandable. But I happen to write it on Sunday, 3rd of March 2024 at 1:23:45 p.m. because numbers mean something apparently to some people. And it's a cat, of course. This it was in a little adventure that I had where there was a cat who was the woman who was always troubling me my entire life, whoever she was. And so she starts the conversation and she says, Stephen, no woman wants a man to run around loving her with all his heart no matter what. And no, because I know that deep down they don't really want that. Although they'll swear up and down if you actually try that they don't like it. It's true. Anyhow, and the little character that I had sort of created is a copy again. Most everything's a copy of maybe two or three things, but he's a little guy who would say, as you so famously did say, what? Because we know that doesn't make sense. They all want it. And then I include a cloud, which to me is the figure that's above us all, or it's the thing that's above us all. Many people would say it's God. To me, certainly it is, but to others maybe not so much. Doesn't matter. But if he were in the room, he would have said, what too? And so he would agree with you as I would. So, okay, everybody, that's the trick, I guess, if there is one. Do whatever you can to run around and love a woman with all your heart, no matter what, and just see what happens. It'll be the greatest thing that's ever happened.

Thanks, Scott.

Well, thank you for that. Thank you. Thank you. Do we have anybody else that wants to come in? Crawley is known as Crawley, one of our regulars, which we call the beloveds. Do we need to accept more or how do we... Well, if we're not bore
