Speaker 1:

Welcome to the mission men podcast brought to you by mission media group. Mission and podcasts. The show about nothing and everything and anything in between. Ladies and gentlemen, episode one who the heck are we, john? Who the heck are we? Who are we? What are we doing? Why are we here? So we go over there. Folks in the white chair, we got John Fries, mr John Fries and then Mr Paul Wright in the middle, and I'm Brandon Matthias and we make up mission men podcast. So episode one we're excited to get this thing going.

Speaker 3:

Let's do it. I got, we're already doing it feeling good, we're rolling.

Speaker 1:

We are indeed, so what? Alright, so what are we about, guys? What's? How do we describe ourselves like what? About anything and everything and nothing in between, and everything in between. So alright, so what are we trying to say here? What's why should? Essentially, why should people watch us or listen?

Speaker 2:

I mean what other podcasts can you watch that has?

Speaker 1:

or listen or listen.

Speaker 2:

I forget that people can listen to this that's true, because I'm not smart enough. Like people listen to Andrew Huberman I don't know who that is anyways.

Speaker 1:

I think people should watch alright, so let's back up a little bit. So, john John Fries is a very, very talented cinematographer who is the age of 21, right, yep, just turn 21, yep, awesome. And then, mr Paul, right in the middle, here is a very, very talented music producer pretty much anything 27 is he's done anything and everything. It's true, and and nothing. Do you want to see nothing? Do you want to share your age?

Speaker 1:

I'll leave that up to you are 50, 57, 57, okay and for those listening he does not look 57, and then I am 36, brandon speaking it's 30 well, that's different all these ages is where do you see that on any other pages or hear it?

Speaker 2:

or hear it nowhere generations of multi-generational, multi-good-looking, multi-facial, multi-racial. I mean, one's got a beard, one's got a chin strap, not what do you call that? I'm sorry, whatever that is and then I got 21 scruff so 21 scruff my favorite movie by 21 scruff 21 scruff street.

Speaker 1:

So alright, so so that's kind of the makeup here of what we do. What so, john? What are, what are some things you're into personally? What do you? Well, first of all, we should probably talk about our connection and how we know each other we got a connection, all right, yeah, the connection. Thank you, john. So what? What, uh Paul, how would, how would you say? This whole thing kind of came about wow, it's if I didn't get deep.

Speaker 3:

Well, no, I mean, it's pretty simple. I mean Joey Church, joey Church, our church our local. Our home church is where we met, I'll say, on the praise team, brandon's on the praise team. We both do praise team and audio stuff and John.

Speaker 2:

I'm up there all the time.

Speaker 3:

He's up there all the time. He's doing so much stuff. He's doing so much stuff. But John is the pastor's son. Hey, can we get a clap?

Speaker 2:

sound effect for that.

Speaker 3:

Let's see, let's see. Nope, that's game over.

Speaker 2:

No that's not.

Speaker 3:

Oh, look at that. Okay, that works, thank you. Thank you, wait, I figured one of the buttons would actually do something.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I was like Pacman.

Speaker 3:

Okay, wait, wait, wait, wait. What is that? I have no idea, do you?

Speaker 2:

have any control over which ones they are.

Speaker 3:

If I read them, it would be really good. They were actually.

Speaker 1:

So for those listening, paul is kind of our master in chief here. Commander in chief.

Speaker 3:

We're in trouble, folks.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, he's got a sound board in front of him and he's got some different sound effects that he's actually loaded on there to use for enhancement of our show.

Speaker 3:

That did not enhance our show. No, no.

Speaker 2:

But it will.

Speaker 1:

Just wait, okay, so maybe Should we just go into this now, since we're kind of already here, we're already here,

Speaker 2:

Let's talk about who we are later. Who cares?

Speaker 3:

No, that's boring. We want the Bottom line.

Speaker 2:

We came from Joy Church, we're all yes, here we go, I do video stuff there, you guys do music, we're all geniuses and creative and blah, blah blah.

Speaker 1:

Who cares? Yeah, who cares? Who cares? We do nothing and everything and anything in between. So where?

Speaker 2:

did that statement come from?

Speaker 3:

Why am I missing that? We were making it up before you.

Speaker 2:

Okay, yeah that's cool.

Speaker 3:

It was really off the cuff before you got here.

Speaker 2:

Okay, here we go. Say it one more time slower.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, so this is Mission man Podcast, with a show about nothing and everything.

Speaker 2:

Everything.

Speaker 3:

And anything in between. And anything in between, oh, that's cool.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, on the sound effects, all right. So again, who cares?

Speaker 1:

So we got the sound board here. So what we did was we loaded sound effects that we thought might be beneficial, that could be played throughout our show to help enhance whoever's talking Hopefully enhance, hopefully enhance. And so what we did was we just all Anonymous, anonymous.

Speaker 2:

That's a hard one, anonymous, anonymous.

Speaker 3:

That's a hard.

Speaker 1:

Speaking is hard, english is hard, true. Anyways, without telling each other who's put it in there, we all put in different sound effects that we thought could help our show, so I think should we just go through and why just gave away like a few of mine? So those are Paul's, but John doesn't know mine. I don't know John's.

Speaker 3:

And I don't know either one of them. Yeah, you don't know either of ours. I don't know who put them in.

Speaker 1:

So let's go through, let's see what we got on the board to kind of play with.

Speaker 3:

All right, you guys, you're ready for this?

Speaker 1:

And this will definitely change as the show.

Speaker 3:

Right. So okay, I think I loaded them in correctly. We're going to check that out too.

Speaker 2:

This is our edition for Foleycom. Yeah, there we go.

Speaker 3:

Netflix is Foley, all right let's see here, so we've got.

Speaker 1:

Bruh Bruh.

Speaker 3:

Bruh All right.

Speaker 1:

So now we have to guess who submitted that one.

Speaker 2:

Did you submit ones too.

Speaker 3:

I did, but I gave all mine away on that list.

Speaker 1:

Okay, because that's All right. So here we go. Paul has to guess who did it. I love it, Okay. So, Paul, you got to guess between John and I who submitted that, okay, yeah, yeah, do that.

Speaker 2:

Who submitted it?

Speaker 1:

Bruh.

Speaker 3:

Bruh, I'm going to guess, I'm going to guess, john.

Speaker 2:

Do we have a right or wrong?

Speaker 3:

Yeah, you got to let me know, you got to let me.

Speaker 2:

Okay, it's false, not me.

Speaker 1:

Speaker 1:

Brandon all the way. Here we go.

Speaker 3:

One more here we go, here we go.

Speaker 2:

John, no, no, really no, I haven't feeling these are in order.

Speaker 1:

These are in order. This is so sad, they're not random.

Speaker 2:

Well, here's the deal.

Speaker 3:

It's random for me, because I just loaded them in. That's true, I didn't know where they came from oh, okay, there we go, don't tell me they're in order.

Speaker 2:

They're not in order. Who said they're in order? It's not random. They're not in order. Who said they're in order?

Speaker 1:

There is an order as Camel has a hump.

Speaker 2:

I don't know what that means.

Speaker 1:

Let's keep going. Next one Okay, we'll do one more and then we have to.

Speaker 3:

We'll talk about something else.

Speaker 2:

Oh, we got to do more than one more. All right, go ahead.

Speaker 3:

Rapid fire, rapid fire, all right, here we go.

Speaker 1:

Two hours later. Two hours later.

Speaker 3:

One hour later. Well, considering that it's possibly an order, I'm going to go brand yes, yes that is my yes, yes, alright, I want to hear John's.

Speaker 1:

Just real quick.

Speaker 2:

These next ones, I'll just tell you what context I would say them in. Let's try this one, okay.

Speaker 1:

What is that?

Speaker 2:

It's from Spider-Man. Okay, it's called a cannon event. It's like something. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait wait wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, Just say it, walk me through a situation where Paul would be like oh that, that's the perfect, that's the. Can you play that again on command when I'm done with not yet? Okay, you can play that on command.

Speaker 2:

Okay, here would be a scenario that it would be said Okay, when I was in the third grade I lost five chromosomes. What? That would be the scenario set up for that. So when that doesn't make any sense, I go.

Speaker 1:

This was like X files.

Speaker 2:

Right, or when I was 12, I always wore neon green and never wore deodorant. It was a cannon event. Is that true? Yeah, it's a cannon event.

Speaker 1:

Okay, there we go, all right.

Speaker 3:

Next one here we go. Next one, we'll get through it.

Speaker 1:

We'll get through it. We'll get through it, we'll get through it.

Speaker 2:

We'll get through it. We'll get through it. We'll get through it. Okay, that's when something is totally out of pocket, like way left field, like you need to go to jail for what you just said.

Speaker 3:

Wait, wait, wait. I hear this again. What in the world is this sound?

Speaker 2:

He's yelling what.

Speaker 1:

Oh, paul, you have so much to work with. Oh my gosh. All right, what's the next one? Okay?

Speaker 3:

Wait, wait, wait. I got to switch, I got to switch banks. Here we go. All right, here we go.

Speaker 2:

You know what that means? Oh, okay, that means I got to, I'm looking at someone with a side eye on that one, or I say something sus, like I like dropped my phone. Paul bends over.

Speaker 1:

Wait actually listen cue that sound this is a great time to talk about how our podcast is very Christian based and how we want to look through things through the lens of Christ and everything that we do so great time. Next, let's do the next sound. All right, and I'm not joking on that, but all right. What's the next sound effect?

Speaker 3:

Okay, the last one. I think this is the last one, yeah.

Speaker 2:

Here we go. Oh, that's just classic Fine Boom. I mean, that's just never heard that sound effect.

Speaker 1:

Sure, I have. I just don't know where we could use it.

Speaker 2:

I do. It'd be like brah and I walked into the church and they were using some sort of Fuji film 2003 camera and the live stream guy was 74 years old.

Speaker 1:

Here, just as John explaining this. Just get a close up on my face.

Speaker 2:

Okay, okay. My cat walked into the washer and didn't kill itself. My grandma makes mac and cheese. It doesn't taste right. I eat socks every day for breakfast. Danielle told me that I need a better. Okay, but yeah, chetland's are for better.

Speaker 3:

Okay, okay.

Speaker 1:

Okay, you're saying a lot of words right now and I'm not quite sure what's happening.

Speaker 3:

That's okay. That's what that's going to sound like. As Brandon said, this is a Christian podcast.

Speaker 2:

It is yeah, believe it or not? Christian podcast.

Speaker 1:

All right. So we should say this we are definitely do our best to live our lives for Jesus and everything that we do, but we also like to have fun and be silly.

Speaker 3:

Right.

Speaker 1:

If you've made it this far in the podcast and haven't turned it off, then you know that we have.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, look, don't play.

Speaker 2:

Then this is a good thing, right. Joy of Lord is our strength and we got joy Absolutely.

Speaker 3:

We got joy.

Speaker 1:

That's it, man.

Speaker 2:

That's what the mission men are all about Exactly. We have fun, we enjoy life.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, and I think that's important. I think a lot of people well, paul and I were actually talking offscreen earlier or off podcast, off pod earlier, as my sounds like a Star Wars reference. We're off.

Speaker 2:

We were talking off the pod and then we got struck from Jar Jar, bink, bink.

Speaker 1:

You know what dude you just knew yourself are? Sound board is what I'm realizing.

Speaker 2:

We just need you to do all the sound effects. V, asmr, my prime.

Speaker 1:

Okay, and it will move quickly.

Speaker 3:

It's quickly, quickly, folks quickly.

Speaker 1:

But I think it's important that we have the ability to laugh, to have fun, be goofy, but then also be serious, to and have some serious conversations. But right now is not the time for serious.

Speaker 2:

So we will get serious, though. I mean to be fair, though. If you're out in the world trying to show people Jesus, you don't just want to be a stick in the mud and just be dry and just be boring and just they get enough to reach anybody like that anyways Right.

Speaker 3:

So that's the whole point of this podcast Exactly To reach people.

Speaker 2:

Right, we want to appeal to everybody, but we don't want to just be Goofball's the entire time. I mean most of the time, most of the time 99% of the time but that 1%.

Speaker 1:

We're so serious.

Speaker 2:

It goes somewhere so serious.

Speaker 1:

Oh man, I love this. Here's the funny thing. I just love the fact that we've got three different, just completely different people here at this table and we have our one common bomb, which is Jesus, but then we also have a really good friendship All three of us and we all have our different areas, that we have expertise and whatnot. Paul's just good at everything. And then there's everything.

Speaker 2:

Brandon somehow graduated high school.

Speaker 3:

We're dead weight pretty much, oh yeah but, but, and that's how Mission media group started. Right, you got to talk about that for a brief second. That is our sponsor.

Speaker 1:

Absolutely. We should talk about our sponsors, isn't we?

Speaker 3:

Absolutely Thanks, sponsor.

Speaker 1:

All right. So, for those of you wondering, mission media group is a Is a business that the three of us have put together using all of our individual strengths and talents. And what was our?

Speaker 3:

it's we want to know. You're gonna say that I know, I know.

Speaker 2:

The mission.

Speaker 1:

One second wait. Do a sound effect.

Speaker 3:

I'm just pressing buttons at this point. Creating was it creating cinematic content.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, like creating Christ centered content with like cinematic flair.

Speaker 2:

We're still working on memorizing, as you can tell, we're still a work in progress on the on that part. You haven't written down anywhere.

Speaker 3:

Are we. It's on your phone.

Speaker 1:

Are we even a business?

Speaker 2:

Are we the change? Open your phone and actually read the actual yeah, because we can't. We can't look like idiots.

Speaker 3:

I'm 57, so my memory is probably and I'm 21, aren't?

Speaker 2:

my attention span is 5 seconds. Your attention span?

Speaker 3:

that's exactly right, exactly, so Brandon is the only one that can save us right now, and I'm just an idiot, just in general. Well, he's why he's pulling that up. Okay, he's gonna pull it up now, but yes, mission media group. All right, here we go.

Speaker 1:

So we want to help take Christian media to the next level by creating cinematic content in a Christ centered way. Yep, so yeah. So what are some ways that we Feel like we can help do that? What? What are some areas or and we have worked on a few projects- Right, but we worked on you know.

Speaker 3:

So the one of the things we started off was which is most of the time is Trying to take our Media to a new level at church, because most of the churches right now you could, you know, they were all shoved into this streaming Thing and there's a code.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, yeah, and you know, they kind of just bought as much gear as they could, put it in a room and see what worked and most of the time most Streams from churches look not so good. Carpo, and it's not this. You know, even at our, our churches, our church doesn't look bad.

Speaker 2:

No, no, no.

Speaker 3:

I'm not trying to say everybody's podcast, everybody's streams look bad, but right, there's a lot that need that can be fixed. Yeah, and this is where we come in.

Speaker 1:

Right and and that's where the the whole idea started and it's branched from there, and we'll talk more about that later, but where it's, we wanted to give our church a product that they and the congregation could be super proud of that. So what we did was we we. We filmed our praise and worship team I'm doing one of their song-stirring rehearsals and during the set, and then we also took the audio, cleaned it up, made it sound really great, you know yeah.

Speaker 1:

We really wanted to try to make it sound like, you know, a Bethel or elevation type.

Speaker 2:

Longing right longing experience whatever the great and so.

Speaker 1:

So we feel like we got the look and the sound and we're able to take something that you know was okay and Able to really create something that, in my, our opinion is great right. Yeah and we want to offer that to other churches and outlets, and I mean because there's so many churches out there.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, I could use this service.

Speaker 2:

We made something on a fair budget. Look like it was on a high budget. I would say yeah, right. Well, definitely on an average budget to a very high budget, I would say.

Speaker 1:

I mean, I would even fair to say it was zero, zero, zero budget, coven budget which was zero budget.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, look like a million how many XLR cables we got two. Nice, let's just use extension cords for the rest. Exactly, and that's what we do.

Speaker 3:

That's kind of what we and what we'll do. We'll do more than just that right right. We can do, we can film, we can shoot. We did some stuff with the devil wards recently and Look great and looked great.

Speaker 2:

Look very.

Speaker 3:

John's had a lot of stuff with Dennell and it looked really yeah, and. Jeff was our other audio person that came and helped us with that and that was great so shout out curb, yeah, in curb studios. We shot it at curb studios, which was great. Yeah, it baits our studio manager of that. It we're on all that together, which is amazing. So, yeah, I mean we'll do this. We can do, obviously, podcasts and we'll do interviews. We'll do anything. I mean we'll do just about anything to help a church.

Speaker 2:

Testimonies.

Speaker 3:

Yeah right, you know yeah.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, so no, I was just gonna tag along. I think that's really we wanna help. I mean, when we all kind of got together and we were like figuring this whole thing out and we still are in some regards we're just like all right, what's our main mission? And it's part of the pun, but it's like we want to help further the kingdom of God and we feel like giving churches and other different ministries or whatever these tools that they can reach people that can catch their eye, that can catch their ear. Oh man, this is done with excellence. This is really really well done, because if a church comes across that way, then they're gonna wanna know more about that church and I think, or ministry or any other lane that's pushing out the kingdom of God, and I think that's really where it all stemmed from.

Speaker 2:

Yeah Well, speaking from my generation too, and really Brandon's, but I mean a lot of young people just immediately turn off or click away from Instagrams or YouTube's that aren't good looking.

Speaker 3:

Why would you watch? Well, they don't look slick. They don't look slick.

Speaker 2:

Why would you watch a video with 200 views that looks like crap and then no disrespect.

Speaker 1:

Language, language Sorry.

Speaker 2:

Do we have a sensor sound effect? No just kidding, but why would you watch that when you wrong sound effect?

Speaker 3:

When it looks like crap, I was gonna hit that same one forever, absolutely. That's a great one.

Speaker 2:

But why would you watch that? When you go watch something that's got a million views looks great shot great. You wanna share it, you wanna show it to your friends, you wanna show it to the unbelievers because you're like hey us. Christians don't just do cringy stuff. We do stuff that looks good right, and here's the thing Gotta be shareable.

Speaker 3:

What I hate really about Christian media for the most part is how bad it normally looks. Yes, you know, and this is still to this day, there's some, there's some people out there making some great content and some great movies and great shows and stuff like that, but there's still a lot of it out there. I mean even back in the day you could automatically turn on your television and you know if you had it on a Christian station, because it looked horrible. Oh you knew.

Speaker 2:

I mean, you just know, that's all I watched.

Speaker 3:

And the level of quality just wasn't there. Now, luckily you know, that's changed a lot, yeah. I made a change. You have, you know, shows like the Chose and multi-million dollar budgets that are doing these shows and that's amazing shows and the movies Jesus Revolution and the Hell yeah Jacksonster all these great movies that are out there now that look amazing. Yeah, jesus Revolution was great, but you still have a lot of bad stuff out there.

Speaker 1:

Well, so circling back to that, John, you said you kind of grew up on that. What are some things that you remember like as far?

Speaker 2:

as just like.

Speaker 1:

Christian media Can't name drop. Yeah, that's true, I won't name drop, don't name the shows no, no, no, I won't name the people or the shows.

Speaker 2:

I'll say that my childhood was very centered around Christian TV shows, christian kids shows and most of them. And how bad was it? I mean terrible. And the other fact was that I had I only had so many options, because back then we didn't have cable. We didn't have any on-demand stuff. Well, we had cable, we just didn't pay for cable.

Speaker 3:

Right, Wait, you what do?

Speaker 2:

you mean my parents didn't pay for cable.

Speaker 1:

But you didn't have it.

Speaker 2:

You had cable, I didn't have it.

Speaker 1:

No, I did not have cable. You mean in general like there was cable available.

Speaker 3:

I thought you were saying your parents hijacked the cable.

Speaker 2:

No, well, but they weren't gonna pay for it. No, we didn't have. They didn't pay for cable, they paid for the basic, like eight channels which have like TBN. Oh, I name dropped but, I'm not saying that's bad, I'm not saying TBN's bad, I'm just saying Well, here's here.

Speaker 3:

We can safely probably say I know the guys at TBN, they are great guys and the stuff that they're doing now is amazing.

Speaker 2:

Yes.

Speaker 3:

This is not the same TBN, as this was 15 years ago. That's true.

Speaker 2:

And this has nothing to do with TBN. Some of the movies that TBN would show are not affiliated with TBN.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, right, some. Of that.

Speaker 2:

But they had the TBN, they had a couple Christian channels. They had like JCTV.

Speaker 1:

I don't know if any. I remember JCTV. You know JCTV, that was my favorite.

Speaker 2:

And then Smile of a Child that was painful because of the you used the word painful Because of the kid shows, or just back then they were just so bad. I mean, you had I can't even, I won't even say many more names, but it was just a lot of hours spent up in that bonus room watching the same movie about eight different times Cause I didn't have anything else. So I can switch.

Speaker 3:

And the thing about it is is they were saying the same thing, trying to tell the same story over and over and over again. It's almost like a Hallmark movie. You know the plot.

Speaker 1:

Well, in the same at least in my experience was with the Christian music as well too.

Speaker 3:

Christian music was probably just as bad as, not worse.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, oh man, I'm not going to name names.

Speaker 3:

We're definitely not going to name names. No, no.

Speaker 2:

We might film a music video for one of those.

Speaker 3:

Or the artists may come in here, so we don't want to name them.

Speaker 1:

No no, no, of course, of course. But let's just say Christian music is quality. No, sound effect vine boom. No, not that.

Speaker 2:

That's, it makes Hold on. There you go, there we go, okay.

Speaker 1:

Wow, is that like? Is that like law and order? Like don't do like? Is that like a final?

Speaker 3:

we got to have the law and order one.

Speaker 2:

The law order was classic. I don't know what that we got to get the Samson. It's of course you don't want to.

Speaker 1:

We got to get that in here too, but is that so with Christian? What does that mean? Well, on order, it's a show.

Speaker 2:

Okay.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

Well, I didn't watch that, I watched Veggie Tales, yeah right.

Speaker 1:

They probably covered law and order. But no, I think with with Christian music, it has obviously come such a long way. I mean, like I tell my kids all the time I'm like you guys don't realize, oh my God, how good you have it right now. I mean like if there is some great Well, here's the deal.

Speaker 3:

I worked in the Christian music industry.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 3:

And I could easily say whatever was being produced Was from a production value Was 10 years out of date.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, oh yeah, that's what they mean.

Speaker 3:

Basically if we were in 2000, that's real the music sounded like 1990. Yeah, in Christian yeah, right and yeah, but it's gotten, that's gotten so much better.

Speaker 1:

Well, and I think, with the affordability of all this gear now, where anybody can do this music in their room and they can get it. I mean, that's that's been my experience with what I do and professionally I do stuff in my room and it gets, you know, played on commercials.

Speaker 3:

I mean, you and I both, we have home studios, right.

Speaker 1:

We didn't have that then. No, back in the day. No.

Speaker 3:

Not to the level of the quality of what we can do in our home studios today Right.

Speaker 2:

You can make a song that will pop up on the charts from your own bedroom.

Speaker 3:

Oh, we can. We can On your Mac Mix it master, it put it out on yeah On Apple kids do it all the time. Yeah, a rap, rap especially when that was on her Does rap is so easy to go viral with, I think.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I think it's. That's probably discussion for another episode, but yeah, no, but all this to say, this show is a little bit about everything Right and nothing.

Speaker 2:

Right, you mean, but no, what is it?

Speaker 3:

What happened? I'm sorry, I'm good, you need some water.

Speaker 2:

I see.

Speaker 1:

I think, I think this episode perfectly showed how this how we can have really great discussions how it started with stupid sound effects to the where the Christian music industry currently stands.

Speaker 2:

And not true and probably in the process. No, I don't think so. No, no, it's a fair assessment.

Speaker 3:

But here's the deal and the show will have, we'll have gas. Oh yeah, We'll have gas I mean this first show we wanted you to know who we are, so we didn't have a gas Right, but we'll have gas. We'll talk about some great things and we'll talk about a whole bunch of other stuff, absolutely. And hopefully it'll be something that can resonate with someone, yeah, and touch them in a unique way.

Speaker 1:

Well, and I think too, I think, once we really kind of get this going, I'd love to get input from people who are listening to this, people who are listening and checking out.

Speaker 3:

Tell them how bad we are Come listen, yeah, that's that's I want that. We want the comments. Do you email?

Speaker 1:

Speaker 3:

Speaker 2:

It didn't work.

Speaker 3:

Which button? Why are you trying to hit the purple yeah?

Speaker 2:

It didn't tap it or enough. Now you got hit right in the middle, oh OK.

Speaker 3:

So, anyway, this is, this is, this is who we are, this is the mission.

Speaker 2:

And I guess yeah, can I close this out? Go for it. Buddy Guys, we've had a great time today, learned a lot of valuable lessons, but it's time for us to leave and we hope you have a great rest of your week. We'll be sure to talk to you soon.
