All right. Lawyer Talk podcast, off the record, on the air, you know, we get some hate. Yeah. We get a little shade in the comments. Sometimes. I think the one you. The one you read. I've been called a fool.

Don't hire this idiot. And, you know, whatever. I got thick skin. I don't mind. But every now and then, in fact, most of the comments are very, I guess, kind. Yes. And I just wanted to read one. This is from Yankee Fly Guy.

I'm not going to use his name, but this came on LawyerTalkPodcast.com, we have an interface. You can send a question or comment. He took the time to do that, and I wanted to thank him. He says, just wanted to say thanks for taking the time to do this series. After 28 years of being in law enforcement, I am now taking the leap and have been admitted to the. To a law school. Not going to use the. Whatever.

I'm so excited. Nervous. But podcasts, YouTube series like yours helps fuel the fire. Awesome. That's exactly why we're doing it. Right? Because I think what we're trying to do is break down. I've always said I speak two languages. I learn the legalese, but I'm just a normal dude and I like to speak.

Normal speak. Yes. So I take these complicated things and I try to filter them through my twisted brain and then send them back out in a way that I think most people can understand because that's how I had to learn it. And it sounds like it's at least helpful for Yankee Fly Guy. So, look, we appreciate the support. Keep listening. Subscribe. Send us a question if you want us to cover it, send us a comment@LawyerTalkPodcast.com or anywhere else.

We'll be happy to address it.
