Episode 350 something right now.

So we're probably over 400 episodes total.

Probably the answer will be yes, but I'm just letting you know that I might contemplate it.

Look, it is exhausting.

I mean, doing the podcast by itself wouldn't be exhausting, but my life is exhausting with being a professor and having students and writing papers and writing books and traveling and just trying to live my life.
