Suicide prevention Saturday

All right, so yes, you are looking at a— oh, you got it, you're talking, you talk.

I just say good evening and welcome to another Suicide Prevention Saturday.

All right, hold on, I'll turn me off. I'll try to turn me off. I don't know, I failed. All right, so anyway, as you all can tell, we're having some technical difficulties because I'm actually on the road. And so, um, DJ was trying to do this for me as I try to get to the office, and I don't know why we messed up as far as the reverb and whatever that's called, but I'll be to the office momentarily. And I literally just saw a bunny run across my yard, so I think it's funny that I have a bunny for my screenshot there. Alrighty then, I'm at the office. I'm turning off my car. Uh, life does not go to plan. This is— these are the things we talk about here on Suicide Prevention Saturday. And it's been a party, so there's that. But shortly you'll see the normal me. And DJ, if I mute myself, you can chat for a moment while I get the desktop set up, I think. What do you want to try it?

I will be happy to try.

All right, DJ, you got the show for a few moments because I just realized I don't even have my webcam set up because we just moved my cameras all around my office. Not for nothing. Okay, wait, now I gotta turn this off. Oh my goodness, no, I don't want to end the stream. Oh shucks. Okay, how do I mute myself? I muted myself. I muted the camera. All right, DJ, I don't know, you got ideas? I got nothing. If I remove that Maybe that'll work. So wait, DJ, can you hear me? Because I know you're muted right now. All right, I guess the other question is, uh, can everyone else hear me? I see a bunny. All right, DJ's pushing buttons, so I'm just gonna go with y'all can hear me now. And if I turn off my phone, maybe that'll stop. Holy moly. Okay, I don't know if you just kicked me out or not, but yay, because I don't know how to do that without ending the stream. All right, I do not know what you mean by my inner diehard, uh, if it was just— I have no idea. Uh, the traveler, I don't— all of these things. So yes, I haven't seen myself on camera yet today, so it's here and you guys are there, and so I'm going to scooch this over here and, you know, Welcome to— I don't know, I've been partying all day, uh, which is not a bad thing. It's my mom's 75th birthday party celebration because her birthday is actually in whatever that's called, a different month. Anyway, let me start all over again now that we're here. Hi everybody, it is Tuesday, Saturday, and why are we here? Because 2 out of every 3 gun deaths you hear about are suicides. And if we truly want to save lives, we want to talk about mental health and suicide prevention. So that's why we have resources available for you, like the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, which I'm actually going to be taking off of there because I've done a little more research and they're actually rather anti-gun. I have— I'm working with them because all they talk about is guns. And yes, 50% of suicides are via gun. And then we also know the horrible facts of 50%, the 50% that are from guns, two-thirds of that, uh, 10, or at least a third to two-thirds of that are our veterans. So there's lots of things still that could be worked on. So it's been 3 weeks. I hope you guys enjoyed meeting my new friends. Uh, uh, Caleb from The Rustic Renegade is who you guys all got to check in with last week. And then, um, the candle lady, who right now my brain just went poof— what is her name? So, um, but y'all know the candle lady because that was when we're actually on vacation. And what happened? Oh, it didn't come on a Saturday, so those of you who saw it on a Sunday, thank you for popping in. And I thought I muted my phone, but no, hold on. Now my phone is truly muted. So anyway, hope you enjoyed the Candle Lady. Hope you enjoyed Caleb and the Rustic Renegade. I always want to bring you guys folks that are interesting and so that we can learn a little bit more. So with that, see you Saturday. What am I going to talk about today? Oh no, I lost my DJ as well. Aw shucks. Okay, well, since I lost DJ, he was here, I, ah, okay. I'll do the hi, how are you all doing? So, oh, there, he's coming back, yes. DJ, did you hear me say that I was sad that I lost you?

Yeah, I heard that. So I did, I pulled everything, every stop that I could, I pulled it out, I rubbed every rabbit's foot or did something and I rubbed the lamp and the genie popped out and I said, please take me to Brooke right now. It's my first and only wish. So I've given up two whole genies' worth wishes to be here right now.

Oh my goodness, it is hot in this office because it's been closed, so I'm putting my, my, my thing up. So anywho, I was about to just start saying thank you, hi to Gunmetal Guy and, and Pam and Mike and, and Coop and all of that. But do you, did you, do you have the roll call? Because I know I didn't realize you had disappeared.

So you mean after the roll call that you just gave? I'd be happy to pick it up for you.

There's more, there are more.

There are, there are. And so, uh, let's see, you got Gun Metal Guy USA first one in the room. I was the second one in the room. I love it when GMG USA beats me someplace. And then it was you who came into the room next. But then right after that, we got C&T Designs and Arms up there. I got Mike Ballinger checking in saying, hey Brooke, Pam, and Mike here celebrating 25 years of marriage today. Congratulations!, to you too. Uh, Chris Roncato is out there saying happy anniversary to the couple as well. Let's see, after that we've got Sariafan93 saying what's up. Crabby Turtle's out there shaking that pink waving hand thing again. Love to see him out there. Chasing Ghost is also in the room. She did see that bunny out there. Got Tactical Fudd— that's Buck the Tactical Fudd. Let's see, and that brings us— that brings us Current. So that is your roll call.

Well, ah, well, thank you for that. And, uh, thank you for rolling with me and all of the craziness that has been today. Um, yes, it is wing— oh wait, did we put that— did you just put that up there and I unclicked it? My bad. Uh, Wing and Prayer Broadcasting. Yes, that is, that is it tonight. Um, uh, yeah, so seeing Coop says he's also driving home now, so he can just listen and not say things. But that's okay. Thank you, DJ. And yeah, so today I wanted to write this really cool description on Suicide Prevention Friday. We're going to work Friday. Wow. Okay. Try this again. Suicide Prevention Saturday. I don't know where Friday came from. I really don't. I wanted to put a description talking about what today's thing was going to be. And one of the things I was going to talk about was anger, but instead let's just talk about not things going according to plan because that's also fun. Um, so 75th birthday party for my mom and things don't go according to plan. And so I'm running around like a crazy person because sometimes that's what you have to do to get a party done. And that sort of thing. With that, I realized as I was driving around that I got mad at a biker. You know, those little pedal bikes on the side of the road? And I'm like, oh, I hate them. And then I thought about it. I'm like, why in the world would I hate a biker? And like I said, pedal bikes, just because Tara is here, so, you know, we're not going to talk about hating on any biker bikers. And I realized that it's like my fear of hitting bicycles on the side of the road is what I hate, because I don't hate bikers. It's that every time there's a little skinny-wheeled bike on the side of the road pedaling away in their little helmets and all of that, that they make me nervous. And I fear that they're going to hit a rock just as I'm about to go by them and they're going to fall over and I'm going to run over and squish them. And that would be a horrible thing to do. I've never run over a biker. I've never come close to running over a biker. It may be an unrealistic fear that I happen to have, but because I have the fear is why the first thing I say is I hate that thing. And it's like, well, why do I hate the thing? And I hate the thing because it's a fear inside of me. And so, like I said, I'm running around like crazy trying to get— pick up cake and hot dogs and all sorts of things. And I realized, I'm like, hmm, is that what hate often is? Is our hate of other things really some kind of fear that we have within ourselves? Now I'm truly asking you this because I don't know. This was just a random thought that I had driving down the road because it seems so very irrational that I would hate bikers. And then when I realized, I'm like, well, I hate the fear that they create inside of me that they're going to fall over, I'm running over them. And it's just like, again, never had a biker fall down in front of me, never rolled over any bikers, never came close to it. So I was like, hmm, my response, right? Why do we hate things? Think about anything you hate or something that comes to mind, like, oh, I hate that. And then dissect it a little bit for me. Let me know. What do you think? Why do you hate it? Now, to be fair, there are certain things that you just dislike, and we try not to use the word hate in our family as much because it's a very strong word to hate something. And I can tell you that I strongly dislike fried liver and onions the way that my stepmom makes them. Now, Do I know that I dislike fried liver and onions the way Tara would make them? Perhaps. I do not know this, but I do know what I was fed when I was a small child was not something I would want to do again. So I strongly dislike. So there are things that we strongly dislike, but what else is there? So, uh, G Web says, uh, joined us since the roll call. Chris, um, yeah, so Chris, Chris drives a lot too, or at least Chris used to drive a lot, but yeah. So he has a similar reaction to me as far as like, they have a right to be there on the road, and yet when you're in the car, it's like, ah, oh, and well, because Tara is here, we will talk about bikers. Um, the, the bikers, the ones that are the pushers. So if you don't know what a pusher is on a bike, if you've ever come where a another— a pack of bikes is coming towards you, and there's like the first dude, he's like on the yellow line. And this is the way it's been explained to me: the dude who is on the level yellow line is the pusher, in that he is in the front of the pack, he's on the yellow line, so those of us that are coming towards them will move over further to make the rest of the pack. Safer. And as much as I appreciate that, holy smokes, no. Because just like worrying about running over the dude on the little pedal bike— and yeah, I feel like a little kid on a tricycle when I'm doing this, but, um, yeah, it is just kind of crazy. Oh, let's see, what does Scottish American say? Fear is something that most people don't understand. Utilize the fear in order to be better. Worst thing drivers can do is sway out. It can cause them to panic. Well, yes and no. Um, we're not going to hit them, so there's that. But yeah, most of us don't understand where our fear comes, uh, and we don't all know what we're afraid of. Oh my goodness.

Isn't it common to hear fear of the unknown, or we fear those things that we don't understand? I mean, I could see those things easily translating into my and into the way that I see things. Like, and the fact that I don't— I'm sorry, go ahead.

No, no, I was gonna say, do you have other, other examples of things that you're fearful of, but then if you break it down, it's something else?

Well, I'm afraid of eating liver and onions again, but I'll take the onions. I mean, that's a step towards it. And we're— I assume we're talking about beef liver or calf liver, so we're talking about the beef animal. So beef and onions I like.

Okay, I was like 6 years old at the time, and it was just like— it was liver and onions, it was gray. I— and it's like, and I've had like venison and stuff, and I have venison that has been spectacular and I love it. And I've had venison that I've had that I just— if that was the only time I ever had venison, I would never eat venison. So, um, we don't know. But like I said, so yeah, so fears are just Yeah, kind of crazy. What is another fear you have that you can like break down into, oh, wait a second, I'm afraid of this because that might happen?

Got anything?

Easy.

Okay, what is it? I am afraid of deep water. Any water, any distance from land or from me touching the bottom. Yeah, I am almost terrified of that. And I didn't realize this. I didn't realize this until I was on a ferry a couple of miles off of shore. And the other shore was— I couldn't even see the other shore yet. And it was at that time that I realized, okay, why— I had to, like, I was starting to shake. I was actually like looking out, having a good time. My dog was on the deck next to me. And all of a sudden my legs start to go all jiggly and wobbly and I'm about to lose it. And instead of pitching over the side, I just sort of pushed back a little bit, grabbed my dog by the collar and had him steady me. He's a big old, big old dog. And I realized it's because I can't overcome it. It wasn't that I can't swim. I can swim, but I can't swim that well. And knowing the little bit of time that I had spent in the ocean, I knew how strong it could be and how unpredictable it could be as well, especially for us landlubbers, you know, landlocked in the middle of the country. So, not understanding it. There's my fear of the unknown and fear of not being able to tread water long enough and basically knowing that unless somebody saw me, tossed me a ring, or saved me any, in any other way, I was just going to die. Yeah. And I don't think that it would be fun to drown, but I certainly don't want to.

And so it's fear of death. I, I can, I can actually tell you drowning is not that horrible. Uh, because I almost did it. It's just like in the movies. You see a bunch of bubbles, you breathe, and you see a bunch of bubbles. And yeah, you don't pass out. But anyway, no, I wouldn't want to.

I—

yeah, it is all hard. But here's the thing is most of us don't know what we're afraid of. Like, you didn't know that until you were there afraid of that thing, right? And, uh, it's like when we watch horror movies Right. And we're like, don't go in there. Cause we know what's behind the door. Um, and it's just like, no, none of us know what we would do in any situation until we're in that situation.

Well, the only reason we might feel comfortable in suggesting, you know, no, don't open that door is because we've seen that happen enough times. We haven't ourselves been in that situation. And I think that some of us would stumble straight into the situation where they opened up a door and the killer was on the other side. Or some great misfortune, I guess I should say, is on the other side of that door. And sometimes we even have that in our regular lives. Like if we don't know who's behind that on the other side of that door at a party, and we see somebody that we don't care for, and we need to decide at that point, do I close that door and shut myself off from the experience? Or do I go ahead because it was not that person that I came to see and do what I can to make it through the situation? Absolutely. Well, coping skills are necessary.

Speaking of coping skills, I think G-Webs— oops, wrong one. Hi, Moo. Um, Gun Websites is letting you know, feel fear not, because if you're stuck in the ocean, just float till a porpoise lets you ride its back to shore. They are the rescue horses of the ocean. Doesn't he mean Lassie of the ocean? So yeah, there you go, DJ. See, but now let's, let's talk about this real quick, right? It's like, let's say this was his solution for you when you're already knowing that you're afraid of this, would— when you have— let's say this was real. Let's say porpoises really did this on a regular basis. Um, would it make you feel better when you already know how afraid you are of what you just talked about?

I wish that you hadn't drawn it that way because I had a perfectly good response. Um, Not knowing those things or knowing that, would it help me?

Yeah.

Well, yeah, it would actually. But I'll tell you one of the specific reasons, because it's from that specific man, because I have come to trust what he tells me. Now, I've also come to trust that he is going to make— he's going to find a way to make sport of something in some way. But look at how he does that. Yeah. It comes across like this with some humor, and then at the end, it's the final bit of sarcasm, lets me know. With a sigh almost, "Look, dude, what I said up here is going to happen. Haven't you checked it out in the film?" sort of thing. So it's just like, you know, it's like, "DJ, come on. You knew this all along, didn't you?" Like leading someone to a conclusion that they haven't reached yet on their own sometimes is the way that you're going to be able to become comfortable with something.

Well, and so, and the reason I asked this is just because so often when we're talking about suicide, anxiety, depression, mental health, all of these things is like, we want to have the solution to somebody else's problem, right? So since you moved yourself, I'll just go like that. It's that we want to be able to help somebody else. However, whether it comes to fear, anxiety, depression, we do not know somebody else's solution. Uh, people are afraid of water because they don't know how to swim. I was— I, I'm a country girl, so I've been swimming since I was young. And when I met people from the city who had never gone swimming, my poor little brain couldn't like wrap myself around that. I'm like, you've never been swimming? They're like, no, because it's totally different because they're literally living in concrete. There are no Well, there's pools somewhere, but you gotta pay to get into them. Not like having a creek down back or having the pond or the lake that is nearby. And fear is yours. Like, I'm afraid of the dark. Oh my goodness. It's like, it's dark out right now. My walk from my office to my house is dark. As long as I have something in my hand, I feel safer, but I don't like the dark. And that's like one of those inherent things that most of us are absolutely afraid of because it's a survival instinct. So like, who was it who said it? Was it the Scotsman? Uh, about using fear. Yeah. So, uh, most people don't understand, utilize the fear in order to be better. And understanding that we have fear, that we're not— there's some of it is a survival instinct. Some of it is Um, what— how do I say this? Some of it's survival instinct. Some of the fear is like what I'm talking about when I'm afraid. I'm mad at the biker for being on the road because if something happens to him and it's my fault, then I'm going to be more upset, which is kind of silly. Um, and yeah, uh, so let's, let's talk about Marty. R. Martin, Marty, Martin, there we go. All right. Afraid of my self-destructive behaviors when not working my recovery program fully. And hi from the UK. So, well, I'm— no, you're saying hi from the UK, we're in the US. But anyway, so hopefully most of you guys understand this, right? Is all of us have self-destructive stuff that we do. And it's crazy because it comes in every flavor that there is. And some of us know that we're doing it to ourselves. Some of us do not know that we've done it to ourselves. So the fact that Marty knows that he's got a recovery program that he needs to work on, then that helps to give you something to hold onto. I know for myself, one of my biggest self-destructive things is when I do emotional eating and just let that go crazy. And I have to work on my recovery program, which is what? Oh, not just stopping at every drive-through and not just getting the sugary stuff that I feel like eating because I feel like eating it. So, um, I'm sorry. See, I need to go back to not looking at the stuff. DJ, I'm going to hide the comments so that I can try to stay on track. Um, Wait, do you have something to say? You unmuted.

No, I'm just waiting in the wings just in case.

All right, well, we've had some people to join us, so if you feel there's a need to continue on with the secondary roll call, by all means let me know. So, um, yeah, I'm gonna make you do the secondary roll call because we have Martin and a couple other folks have said stuff since you last did the other one. So if you want to scroll real quick and let me know when you're good, I will click on the thing, or you can click on the thing.

Oh, like I'm ready now. Where's my close-up? Thank you, Mrs. DeMille, or Ms. DeMille, I guess I should have said. So yeah, and I do believe— I, I'm not sure that I've seen, uh, Martin Soul in the chat before, so if this is your first time, uh, welcome. Hope that you return. And being afraid of self-destructive behaviors, I can relate to that part. And when I do not have the kind of calm that I need around me, I wonder about some of my more destructive tendencies. And I have, as a matter of fact, the woman who hosts this program is on one of my speed dial numbers. And she knows that if I need something, I'm gonna give her a call. And I know that that call is going to be received and that she's gonna say, yeah, DJ, what's up?, and it's going to be a calm sort of approach to me. There's going to be the laugh that we've already heard half a dozen times tonight, nervous or not, it is there, and it is a really great way to turn a day around, I gotta say. So Garage Guy 879 is one of those people who has also dropped into the chat since new. Got 2 Live Moo out there as well. Gun Websites is out there, had a quote from him, Scottish American, we hit him. Before that, I'm going to give you a rundown of the other folks that are in the group. We got Tactical Bud out there. Hello, Buck Chasing Ghost. Got Crabby Turtle and Man from Maryland in the room. Sorry if N93 is out there. So is Chris Brancato. Mike Ballinger is out there. That's the celebration happening. Got C&T Designs and Arms and Gun Metal Guy USA. The first guy in the room is the last guy that I mentioned.

You ready to come back, Brooke? Yes, sir. I did my change, so, you know, it's like quick. I'm like, you know, I'll get all fancy on y'all on a Saturday night. This is my, my holiday hat. I don't know if you can see it with all the sparkliness or not, but it does say love. So, um, shopping is not my favorite thing in the world, but on vacation from time to time I will bring something back. So here's some sparkly love for y'all, um, for being away for 2 weeks from y'all. All right, so Saturday, why 2 out of every 3 gun deaths we hear about our suicides, and if we want to save lives, we talk about mental health. Part of the mental health stuff is paying attention to us, because I hate to break it to you, but you are the only person you can save. That's all there is to it. Now, by learning new tools, having other resources, and always expanding, being aware of how to make yourself better when you make yourself better, you become a better role model for those around you. And as you build yourself up, you can then help people up with you. So why do I say this? Because I personally think it's very true. And I know so many of us, whether it's me or DJ or G-Webs or everybody else here that's watching, because I think I've talked to most of you and most of you have things in ways that you help out. And, uh, like GWebs— the only reason I'm here is because Barbecue introduced me to GWebs and DJ, and y'all taught me how to do the streaming thing so I can go to multiple places. And Coop, who is just driving along listening, it's like when I saw his name and I saw that he was in there, the first thing I thought I love about him is he says, hey sister Brooke, how you doing? And it gives me goosebumps to say it because you and I are brother and sister, or we're sister and sister, because I'm assuming Tara is still out there as well, because I'm hiding the compliments. And Pam is there. And just how important it is that we are brother and sister, that we are sister and sister, that we are brother and brother, whoever you're talking to, because we're all humans. We all have flaws. We all have fears. We all have someone we love. Ideally, the person we need to remember to love the most is ourself and our flaws and give ourselves grace. Because once we can do that for ourselves, then we will have the power that we need in order to share that with others. And that, my friends, is my mic drop. DJ, what you got?

What I got is that I forgot. I know I absolutely forgot to mention Mike White was out there. MikeWhite2A Advocacy, apologies, man. Um, your name went flashing by me even the times too. It wasn't until I'm third time checking that you got to be third time lucky that I even picked it up, man. Uh, so no disrespect meant by that. That's what I got is an admission, an admission to my own faults and foibles.

I, I'm sure that's all right. All right, and so we do need to talk about the, the, the blame game going on in the chat over here. Moo is saying that it is Gizzard's Gary fault for Chick-fil-A addiction. And well, I just have to laugh that 2 Live Moo has a cow there for his little icon, and so does every Chick-fil-A billboard that is out there. And of course, Gizzard is claiming innocence. So I leave it to you folks to decide whether what is true or what is not. And then look at that face. Well, we can't look at your face. So if you haven't been to Gizzard Gary's channel, go ahead to Gizzard Gary's channel. Then you can look at that face because it's there.

Well, if you look at that icon and you look at that name, you might see that perhaps this is a scheme to keep attention away by giving out those Chick-fil-A cards. Uh-huh, that might be it. As a matter of fact, uh, Gizzard Gary has helped facilitate my appreciation for that restaurant as well.

Oh, but Scottish American comes up with one of my favorite things. So what are these called when you've got anagrams or when you've got letters that mean something else? So fear, one of your choices is face everything and rise. And what is the other one? Uh, something— fear everything and run. Two different ways that you could do that. So Oh wait, wait, oh dude, Gary, you're just done, man. Now you got 3 against 1. I'm thinking everyone is blaming you for introducing them to Chick-fil-A, so that's just how that's gonna go. And the lights outside just went on, so it means there's either a dog in my yard or a bear, or sometimes the fox. But eat more chicken, hence the reason he has a chicken for his icon. Um, All right, sorry, I'm totally in the comments because yes, I believe Garage Guy is truly correct because I have seen Gizzard Gary shaven, and I agree with this comment. What about you, DJ? You've also seen this, yes? Yes, I did indeed. Yeah, so dude, you're just— everyone's piling on top of you, man. You can try though. Yes, eat more chicken. All right. And of course, ready, DJ, you want to say it? You want me to say it?

You should say it. You go ahead.

No, you go ahead.

All right. Hey, shebang. There, that is. It's always going to happen that way. We got people saying hey out there as well. Let's see. Martin's got something else. Haven't taken time to read through it all, but I'd like to share it on your screen right now and in your ears as I go. I love the language of recovery. Not saving others who are struggling, but sowing seeds that there is a better way and we deserve to be happy. What is Chick-fil-A? That's an American fast food restaurant. Yes, that's well known. It's most known for its chicken sandwiches, as you might imagine from the title.

And with Chick-fil-A, as you draw, if you're because you're down under, So the, the billboards on the side of the highways for Chick-fil-A legit have basically 2 Live Moos icon here, right? A moo. It has like a— it has cows on it saying, go here and eat the chickens instead of us. So that is kind of that. So that is what Chick-fil-A is. Wait. All right, so Gizzard Gary is saying over $885 in Chick-fil-A gift cards. That is a lot of gift cards for some fast food right there.

Ah, so— and seeing as that Gary has been that generous, it must mean that Scottish American is just that unlucky, man. Aren't you in there trying to win up on some of those Gizzard Gary Chick-fil-A gift cards, man? Gotta do it. And, and Moo apparently is, uh, warning us away because those really are good sandwiches. Martin, I'm, I'm actually— even if you don't like chicken, I would have you try something from there because it's, it's undeniably good stuff. And I was one of those people that wasn't convinced, and Gizzard Gary helped to facilitate my trying it. Now I am convinced it is good stuff.

Um, yeah, I don't think DoorDash is going to get you there. And you did say UK, not Down Under, so my bad. I apologize. But let's see.

Oh, can I get it big enough? Not tonight, but that has more to do with time zones and we're working against them going that way across the world again. But if we were to send it, I'm not sure how we get to do that. Can we accelerate like as fast as Superman goes to get some chicken to the UK tonight? Does that happen? We like spin the world backwards to make it happen. Gizzer Gary, let's look into that.

All right, well, I was trying, I was trying to find a good, uh, picture, but maybe next time I will find a lovely one of their, uh, whatever that's called.

Uh, and I bring this to your screen for a specific reason. Okay, I said that Gary had facilitated it, but it was actually G-Webs who provided the opportunity in the secondary market because he won one and provided it in the prize to me. So that's how I See how the friendship thing works as well.

See how that works? I see. I see.

All right.

I'm going to close this because that's not going to work. All right. So anyway, so here we are, 35 minutes in a little bit of a rough start because life never goes according to plan and vacation. It always feels like you're doing catch back up and all of those fun things, but party was fun. A rough start to get this going, but I think y'all had a great time. I appreciate each and every one of you who show up here. Every Saturday night so I have someone to talk to and DJ has someone to talk about because he introduces you all. And like he said, thanks for the folks that are brand new. Thanks for each and every one of you knowing that there is something special and wonderful that you add to this earth every single moment that you are on it. And as I joke about it, we are all here for two reasons. One, to be examples of what to do, and two, of examples of what not to do. And because we can all do both of them, we're needed always. So with that, I hope you will all have a lovely weekend, and whenever— or whenever you watch this, if you're watching this live, um, we've got about 25-30 minutes until Hillbilly's on. And I will say goodbye and DJ will do our normal closeout thing.

I am so pleased to be able to give the list of names all in a row, all at once. Finally, here we go. Uh, this evening we were joined by Gun Metal Guy USA, C&T Designs and Arms, Mike and Pam Bellinger celebrating 28 years together. Congratulations, you two. Chris Brancato was also out there, so is ZaryaFan93. The Crabby Turtle was out here, so was Chasing Ghosts. Buck the Tactical Fudd joined us, so did the Scottish American. Got 2 Live Moo out there. G-Webs, the Gun Websites guy, is out there. So is Garage Guy 879. Mike White 2A, he's out there. Martin Soul, thanks for joining us tonight. See what I can do about that chicken gizzard. Gary, thanks, man. First or secondary market, you're my chicken hookup. It looks like you're my chicken plug, man. And we had Mario Moe's, and everybody gets to say hey when Mario comes in the room. So I hope that everybody did have the kind of miles and smiles that I got out of this one, and I encourage everybody to come back next week. Uh, we're here every Saturday night. Have a good one, everyone.
