Anyway, Eric, welcome to the podcast. It's a pleasure to have you here, and thank you for driving across the country. Yeah. I packed two lunches to get here five miles away. You know, absolutely. You know what, though? Some days I do pack two lunches, and I came just as far as you did today. Drive a Ford, don't you? Drive a Dodge. Well... A Ram, I guess. But no, I couldn't believe it. We're sitting here having a conversation with this episode coming up, and they said, hey, he lives in... I'm not going to give away where you live. Seven miles away from the studio. Yeah, drive by it all the time and never really knew what all went on here. Hey, now you do. And I said, I know right where that's at. Never been there.
That is awesome. Well, now you got to see it. Yeah. And as you sat there, you were looking around the room and you said you needed to wait 20 minutes before we started. Oh, gosh, yeah, for your audience. I mean, if you just... It might be a couple beers or bourbons just to take it all in around here. There's a lot of stuff, a lot of good memorabilia. I grew up on the farm, man. It brings back a lot of good memories. It's basically the stuff that our wives said they didn't want in the house and what our parents were going to throw out of their basements. Both of our parents moved in the last year. And so their biggest problem was all the crap that they had in there. Crap, in quotation. Yes. But a lot of cool stuff.
