This is the Truth Network. Love is like over a gillion stuff. Welcome to the Christian Car Guy Radio Show. I say this calls for action and now. Love is like over a gillion stuff.

How much do you love me? His daddy didn't have to think. Within Arms open wide, just as far as they could. He said, as far as I can reach, there's not enough to show. I would give my life for you.

You are my flesh and blood. I love you this much. I love you this much today on the Christian Car Guy Show. How fun. We have Bob Young, our Christian Junkyard guy, with us here this morning, Bob.

Good morning, brother. How are you doing today? I am excited about this topic in so many different ways. It's got me scratching my head already. Yeah.

Well, you know Kids have it pretty easy. They know what this means exactly. that, you know I'm sure you had it when you were a kid that your parents would hold out their arms as far as they got, you know, I love you this much, right? Or how much do you love me? Do you love me this much?

Do you love me that much? And that idea of I love you this much. It's it's helpful to illustrate it, right?

Well, I don't know if you ever had thought much about this struggle that people have with Deuteronomy 6, verse 5, where it says, Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul. And then you'll find all sorts of different ways they translate that last word.

Sometimes all your strength, sometimes all your might. They didn't know what to do with that, actually. um when they went to translate it because In Hebrew that word is an adverb. And the adverb is normally translated 143 times. Very.

Exceedingly. is is another way that it's it's translated many, many, many times, and many times it's just translated much.

Okay.

Okay.

And so what God was telling us is that we're supposed to love Him with all our heart. That's your whole heart, like a child would love with their whole heart. with all your soul and then there's this much. And it gives you a sense of what that you know, what every parent does when they're trying to show their child how much they love him, right? Do you have friends that have trouble telling you they love you?

Of course. Uh uh so you know I I love a lot of people and and I don't mind seeing it. It doesn't bother me at all. It does not threaten my masculinity or everything. But there are some friends of mine wouldn't say it f i if the world was coming to an end.

Maybe if I was in the box and they was they were they was walking by for the last time, they might would say it. But, you know, some people just struggle. And and you wonder if they have trouble telling you, do they have trouble telling their kids? you know, that they love them. Yeah, it's fascinating, you know.

Especially if you get out in the country, you know, where my church is. And you got a lot of members, and it's very common for me to, you know, to end any conversation to make sure that I get it said, you know. I love you, you know. I love you. You know, that's how you big hug if you can if you can get it in there.

And oh my goodness, some of those old farmers, it they're really uncomfortable with that. They oh yeah. And they're uncomfortable because they never heard it. You know, they didn't get it from their father. Right.

Or they didn't get it, you know.

However it was, you know, that's it's it's a challenge, but You know, the the thing that Grab me about this. You know, as I began to really work through this idea of, I love you this much. You know It's affectionate. it's it's hugs, it's kisses, right? Just as you just described.

So The question that I would It seems to beg is how do you do that with God? How do you give God a hug? How do you give God a kiss? You know, it says in the second Psalm, right? Kiss the son, lest he be angry and you perish from the way.

In other words, it seems pretty like this is something that's supposed to happen. And so, how does that happen for you? I would love to know your experience. I mean, I'm being completely like, I need, I would really love some more examples, hard examples of this. 866-3487884.

866-3487884. How do you hold God's hand? Wow. I'm going to have to scratch my head just a little longer.

Well, I'll give you some ideas of things I've been I've been pondering this f for a week, you know, just pondering like I do. You know, I think Fascinatingly, the very first time kiss is mentioned in the Bible. Is when Isaac goes to bless, he thinks, Esau. And he says, Come here, son, let me kiss you. And when he does, he kisses him, and then he says, The smell.

of you is like the smell of a field that God has blessed. Yeah.

Fascinatingly, when you look deeply into the Hebrew word for kissed. There's an idea of it that also has to do with smell.

Well and Yeah, yeah. Wow. Yeah, and I can remember a whole lot of times when God held my hand and where he held me up and where he hugged me. And so I guess I'm there.

Well, I'm there with him doing that for me. I mean, I can remember amazing about her.

Well, where I'm not so with it is like, how can I be affectionate towards him? How can you reciprocate? And you know, it appears to me that when you are hugging somebody else, you're hugging God. to some extent. Right.

Now, then I'm good. I'm good. My chart is looking pretty good. As you did for the least of these, you did for me. I'm with that.

I'm with that. So you got an idea, or maybe you experienced something. This is what we're talking about. I know you might think, Robbie, what does this have to do with cars?

Well, I'm going to get to that in a second, but I want you to call me with what you're thinking, 866-348-6. 7884866-348. Seven eight eight four you see I did a show. Um And I've done I've done lots of shows like this, where a theologian We'll get on and they'll start talking about how love is this sacrificial thing, and a lot of people misunderstand love, that it's not. You know, it's not puppy love.

It's not, this is the theological discussion that you may hear.

Well, can I just disagree wholeheartedly? Yeah.

That Oh my goodness. When you really love somebody It's this much. It's just not self-servingness. I mean, serving somebody. It is.

It is an emotional thing that carries on. And when when you have that in love feeling. Right? That that it it carries This affection with it. And if God tells us, you're supposed to love me this much, it's what he said with all your heart, with all your soul, this much.

I'm getting it, that that it's gotta be all I got and all I got is is a big part of emotion.

Well, I got a refresher course this week because we got to hang out with some kids at the beach that we hadn't Oh yeah. to me, I mean, to them I'm Papa Bob and and we have such a great time and they come are running and one of 'em's I think he's eleven or so now and he's getting close to uh the age where they stop Showing affection and stuff like that. He still comes over, gives me a hug. The little ones did. And uh it's It's just That's right.

When you came home Right. when Rob was little, And he came a running. Right? Before you went over to the dark side, like all kids do. Oh, yeah.

Like I did. Before you lost all your. You know, when they hit a certain age, dad's dumb. Right, right. I don't know what happened, but before that, you just think about.

what that is and what that feels like. And You know, it's just. And I think when you really think about it, animals do it instinctively too. You know, I have a very loving dog, right? Oh boy.

And I can assure you that that dog is expecting to kiss me. Ours too. And everybody else in the room and people that drive down the street. She she is the lickingest, lovingest dog ever. All right, we have an answer I'm excited about.

Aaliyah, it looks like, is in Greensboro. Aaliyah, you're on the Christian Car Guy Show. I'm very, very interested in. Your idea. Yes, it's actually Rosalia, but Aliyah's fine.

And I think my personal experience is just I've always experienced like crying out and lamenting. To the Lord is a way of like expressing like my emotions, um, you know, singing out to the Lord is definitely something that I still embraces the Lord and just, you know, crying out in um prayer and in You're listening to The Truth Network and TruthNetwork.com. Love is like over a Gillian stuff. With his arms.

So fun. Just as far as They could go. They said as far as I can reach, there's not enough to show I would give my life for you. You are my flesh and blood. I love you.

I love you this much today on the Christian Car Guy Show. And let me start off by apologizing to Rosalia. We didn't realize the break was coming that quick and we got cut off. And we would really love to hear more of what you had to say, Rosalia. And I apologize that that happened to you.

If you could call us back, I would sure love to continue that conversation. But As perfect as we are, we do make a mistake on more than one occasion. But meanwhile, we got Jay Boyce. He is at MNL Motors in Lexington. And Jay is a Christian car guy.

Welcome, Jay. Hey, good morning. Good morning. And so What's it like being a Christian car guy in Lexington, North Carolina? Oh, it's uh I mean It's probably no different than being a Christian insurance guy in Lexington.

And you just. You know, you try to be um Try to represent Jesus the best you can to your coworkers and to your customers and Um And that's but that's about it.

Okay.

All right.

So what did you want to share with us today? Oh, I'm just I'm good friends with Stu there, Truth Network, and grateful for the work you guys are doing really all across the world in sharing the gospel. And Stu's just a dear friend of mine. And we just had some things going on coming up, the Fourth of July. He actually wanted me to call in and talk about if that's okay.

Oh, yeah, that's absolutely. Yeah, we're excited. Awesome, awesome.

So we are in Lexington and we've got an event coming up. Of course, the fourth is on Saturday, next Saturday, and we're doing some live event from 11. To jump on in here for one second, Jay, we got people listening all over the country.

So some of them are in Washington.

So they need to know that it it's Lexing not don't don't go to Lexington, Massachusetts or Massachusetts. Yeah.

This is Lexington, North Carolina, yeah. North of Charlotte, south of Greensboro. That Lexington.

So on the 4th of July at 11 o'clock, go ahead. Yes.

So from eleven to one, we're going to have free hot dogs for people to come in, our customers. Also, we're going to have some live music. I'll be doing some music and some singing. And basically, that's it. A thank you to our community and Also, to those who've done business with it, but also to try to get some new folks to come in and Look at our product and Hopefully, get to meet some new people, see some new faces.

So that'd be Saturday the 4th. We will be open and looking forward to meeting a lot on Saturday. How cool. And so, the advice. I'm sorry, go ahead.

No, go ahead. I was just going to say that we're grateful. Truth Network has donated some water for us to give out, and so we're going to give out some water. Um I'll just sing a few songs about uh the water of life and then Also spread the word about the Truth Network as well. Yeah, that we got Truth Water.

How much fun is that?

So you know, you can take advantage of that. And so you are a musician as well. And so what song do you sing about water? Oh.

Song about water? I mean, that's a good question. I don't remember any. There's probably several that I've got. Sure.

The water of life is what you had originally said, so maybe it was more about life than water. I was just curious. Thinking well, you know, I guess the I was trying to make a play on words with you know the tree providing water and us giving out the water of life. I not necessarily had a song about that, but but you know, we'll sing a few songs about Jesus and hopefully share the the truth of God's love with some folks here. That'd be awesome.

That's wonderful. Again, it's M ⁇ L Motor Company. It's right there, right off Business 40, essentially, in Lexington, right? That's correct, yeah. And um row six P Montrive.

It's not business forty. What is it, Bob? Eighty f uh business eighty five or twenty nine Yes. It is, business eighty five twenty nine. It's four hundred six Piedmont Drive is the address here.

We're right beside Speedy's barbecue. I mean, that's pretty easy to hold. Love me some speedies. You're right. It's 85.

Stu Epperson is the founder of the Truth Radio Network, which is the radio network that we broadcast from originally.

So, if you're, like we said, in Kentucky or you're in Washington, or there's a lot of stations that are not Truth affiliates that carry the show.

I'm Christian Cargai, 866-348-7884, 866-348-7884. We would really like Rosalia. To call us back so that we could get the full story of what she was talking about. It was so beautiful. And I hate that break came in right when she was getting going.

We got RK coming up in the garage at the bottom of the hour. And I was going to tell you what this has to do with cars, right? Because I was making reference to. When when you love me this much... Right?

This means with everything. He said, Love me with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your exceedingly much. Right? Like that word that he used, meod in Hebrew, it's this all-encompassing thing.

Well That means love me with your car. And that means, love me with your guitar. That means. Love me with all you got. It's an amazing thing.

So, how do you do that? 866-348-7884-866-34 Truth. As I said, we got arcade. coming up in the garage.

So stay tuned a whole lot more Christian Car Guy Show coming up. You're listening to the Truth Network and TruthNetwork.com. Move is like over a gillion stuff. With his arms!

So funwa. Just a small Mistake. Could go. He said, as far as I can reach, there's not enough to show. I would give my life for you.

You are my flesh and blood. I love you this much. I love you this much today on the Christian Car Guy Show. The idea of that being. That, you know, any child, if you say, I love you this much, they hold out their arms, right, as far as they can reach them.

Um and therein lies Something magic. I don't know if you ever. had put the two together, but I I can't help but do it. that when Jesus was on the cross. Oh.

Wow. Yeah.

I love you this much. Um, and he did. And he did.

So, in response to that, how do we love him? How do we, you know, what does it mean to hold God's hand? What does that look like practically or how do you apply Psalms 2.12, kiss the sun lest he be angry? What exactly... Do you do?

What does that feel like? We would love to hear from you. 866-348-7884. 866-348-7884. And have fun.

It's time for RK in the garage. And so we got RK. And now time for the legendary garage of RK 88 and still Polk Rock. Actually, 89 now. I got to get that updated.

I'll make a note.

So, RK, you're in the garage today. I know what we're going to talk about. Good morning, good morning, good morning. Uh we're gonna talk about headlamps. This whole body maybe not Going too good, but it the brain is still working.

I got education this week on headlamps. And They're not cheap anymore. It used to be five dollars a bulb. They were $105 to $115 a bulb. in these cars.

As you know, Robbie, you gotta take half the car apart, the bumper off and everything, get that to bulbs. They have modules in them, they have computers in the headlamps. It's it's really something else. And the prices that people don't know are Or $105, you pay your that's $120, $220 or something for each side, both sides.

Well, that's not the problem. You must I found out you got to buy Buy the same manufacturer and p and put them in both sides because they they they play around with the lights beams and some are weak, some are strong.

So you must Five pounds is out, you've got to put Two of the two of the same things in each east side. And Yeah, with these new balls. Like, you can't touch them with your fingers. Oh no, they'll they they've got gas in 'em. They got gas in 'em and, um Is there a stinker to do?

I got education this week at 89 years old. I didn't think that would happen, but I did. Yeah, well, they've used those kind of, you know, where you couldn't touch them with your fingers for years. But it's a struggle, you know? Um To figure out how, first of all, you got to wear plastic gloves or rubber gloves or whatever you're going to use because, again, your fingers can't touch the glass.

And then, you know, your arm needs to bend about 75 different ways in order to get into contortion this little crevice that they think that, and like RK said, in some cases, okay, just forget about it. Take off the bumper, and here you go. Yeah.

Do they have you know, bulbs. They also have modules. Right. Which is, we didn't have, you know, like back in the day, you had what they called sealed beams. You remember those?

Oh, yeah. Wonderful term. You know, and it was a wonderful concept. It was almost like, could we go back to that? Because I'm sure that you've noticed in today's cars.

that many, many, many Of these, the lenses on the outside fade. and they get cloudy and then your headlights lose their ability to light the road because the lenses are no longer clear. And so there's all sorts of kits and ways to do that. I've heard everything from you can put. off on 'em, you know, and rub 'em.

And there's a lot of ways to get that stuff off. But the challenge is Unless you put clear code over the top of it, it won't stay that way for a month. Um they are also A bit challenging, right, Bob?

Well, y it used to be I need a headlight. You need round or square? There were, there was not a lot. You're too far back, Bob. Yeah.

Oh, yeah. But then, you know, as things changed, people started realizing: wow, the headlight business has changed tremendously. But uh I think they changed in eighty one to square. I don't remember, but something like that. I remember it well.

Yeah.

And, you know, it was just revolutionary. Like, oh, wow, square bulbs, you know. You know, Henry Ford yep, I have a nineteen ninety I have a nineteen ninety Toyota with the round bulb. Yeah.

Yeah, they went and sometimes, you know, Jeep went back to the round because it would look like a regular Wrangler. You know, it's kind of funny all that went on with that. But today it's a whole new ballgame. And believe me when I tell you that Just because you got a headlight out does not mean, like in the old days, you just jump out there and replace that so easy. And so, what we're trying to say, what RK and I are both trying to help you with.

Is If you choose to try this at home, I highly recommend you get some form of instruction before you try it. Oh, yeah. Because, like Rarque said, you can't just replace one. You got to replace both. And you can't touch them with your fingers.

And you got to know how to get to the thing. And you got to know how to get to the thing without touching it. It's all these things are. That's a lot of ands, brother. And so.

That is the that is the truth. And if you got the cloudy on the outside, Yes, it can be fixed, but don't take the simple approach, okay? Just go on and buy the. The expensive package that comes with the clear coat and all the stuff. Look at what it says it comes with when you buy the package to redo the lenses.

Because you'll see that the m the ones that cost $30 or $40 come with some clear coat to put on the top of them after you finally got. down to where they're clear again. Because if you don't put something over the top after you've gotten the Yeah, they have no no time at all.

Well, R. K. As always, you've been very informative. I'm so grateful for your And so, I love to do it, Robbie. God gave me the ability to do it, and I just love to do it.

And so You know, I know R. K. s daughter, Amanda. He sometimes referred to as Mandy. And she told me how much her dad loves God.

That literally there were times where he couldn't drive, he didn't have a car. In a situation. That He would hitchhike with his he was a single dad. And he would hitchhike with his two kids to church. And she can remember standing, she said, Robbie, I can remember sitting in those patent leather shoes, right, those bright shoes that little girls would wear with the socks with the lace on them, and and standing there, you know, Dad's got his thumb out.

We're hitchhiking to get to church on Sunday morning. There you go. That's the truth. And when I heard that story, I thought That's a god hug right there. Oh, yes, sir.

You know, he was looking down going, man, this man will not be stopped. um from taking his little girls to church and they remember it. They remember it well. And You know, that's a beautiful thing, RK. That's got to leave a mark.

Thank you. A great question. And so, as I asked this wonderful, wonderful dear friend saint of mine. When you think about How do you show affection to God? What do you think about R.K.?

I give him my love. I take my heart and I say, Here, Lord. Do something with it, help me with it. and and just take me down that right path. And leave me To the world of love, you know?

Yeah, you do. That's how I see it. You do. Thank you, my friend. God bless you.

You have a great weekend. I'll see you tomorrow. It true.

Okay, thank you, Robbie. All right.

Great talk on the body. Bye, everybody. Bye-bye. Bye, everybody, and have a safe week. You too.

Bye-bye. All right, 866-3487884. How do you. Express your affection to God. But we got Minnie is in Ohio.

I think I know Minnie. Minnie, you're on the Christian Cargas Show. Good morning. Good morning. How are you?

I've been on vacation and haven't been able to get all your calls, and I feel bad about that, but you've you've been having a lot of time. I'm sorry. It's not moving, but it, you know, they can't figure out what's wrong with it. That's, you know, I don't know. They've given it and said it was all right, but when I go to church and it Goes twenty miles an hour, gotta turn around, come back home and go, This is a bummer.

God will take care of it, he's in control, you know.

So it'll happen. When they drove it to tell how the Lord, how I much I love the Lord. I'm a baker and I work by myself in the kitchen. But different times when something comes on the radio, I start dancing in the house. I dance all over the house.

I dance ballet, or I dance uh Jewish dances and one of them is he takes good care of me. He has been so faithful and so good to me for the last nine years. He has just provided everything I needed.

Sometimes I've been stressed out, but then he turns around and opens the doors.

Well, Minnie, I've got to go to a break on mute. Can you stay with me, please, through the break? I sure can. Because I want to hear more. I do.

I love the idea of dancing with the Lord. That's beautiful. We'll be right back. Hopefully with your calls, 866-348-7884. You're listening to the Truth Network and TruthNetwork.com.

Move is like over a guillion stuff. With his arms!

So Just as far As they could go, they said as far as I can reach, it's not enough. I love you this much today on the Christian Cargas Show, and I love that little kid that love is like a guillion stuff. Because when you think about it, I love you this much, there's so many things and so many different ways. And so, we were talking to Minnie in Ohio. And she was in and I pictured this.

of her dancing around the house and the joy that you know that's You know, God you know, he's got to be overjoyed to enjoy that. Minnie, I'm I'm I'm thinking it's absolutely spectacular, right? And you r obviously have a dance partner in that, right? Yeah, he's awesome. I just love him.

I just so love him. lift my arms up high and I worship him and I dance and I Twirl and I Used to dance in church. It is just amazing. I danced on my own. I just dance on my own and I I don't care.

It was my it was one of my gifts before I got saved. I go, How do you use this for God?

Well, now I know. That's beautiful. So I just adore him, and he knows that, and I love him, and he's. been there for me when nobody else has been. And I am just so grateful that he he knows me And he cares about me and whatever matters to me matters to him.

And I I just can't thank him enough for what he's done for me. Wow. Wow, and so getting back to your car for a minute, 'cause I feel bad about that. That it was in limpen mode or something like that. It would only go 20 miles an hour, and the engine would rev.

You got it to the shop. And it said it works fine. They drove it and it didn't go like that. When you drove it to the shop, did it go like that, or do you have a toad? We had it towed.

We just put it on a trailer and took it over there 'cause I didn't want to burn it up. And when they drove it, it didn't do it. The old man that took it he drove it down the highway two miles and out two twenty two miles away and it was fine. But on the way back it went thirty and there was a semi right behind him. I go, Why did you go to the main highway?

I mean, I don't do this. I go the back roads, I don't do the I don't do the highway 'cause I don't want a truck to roll over me. No.

So but he did And now they're trying to figure out what's wrong with it. Yeah, unless it starts doing that again, they can't figure it out.

So like they have it on a Some kind of machine, but if if it's not messing up, they don't know what to do. I thought they'd put it on a on a machine and that would tell them what was wrong, but they haven't done it yet. Yeah, usually it'll store it'll store a code. And, um and that kind of thing. It did it twice to me.

It did it three times when I wa when when uh I had a driver with me that you know, he drove it to see if it would work and it then he saw it do it at so he knows it does it, so I just don't want to drive it to church and burn it up. Yeah, I need to talk to RK about that. I will. I will. And I will call you back this week.

I have your number.

So thank you for calling in, Minnie, and thank you for dancing. Keep it up. I love it. You know, there's a song there's a song called um I just want to be where you are by Don Moen, and it is beautiful. And it is beautiful to worship the Lord.

With that fine. I'll have to look it up. I just wanna be where you are. We may have to use it on the next show or something like that. All right.

Well, thank you, Minnie. God bless. I raced to the church to see what that was played, and I got the CD for that when I found out because it was that beautiful. Oh, wow.

Okay.

Thank you. God bless you. God bless you. Love you too, Minnie. Bye-bye.

All right, we got Mike. is in Dayton, Ohio.

So Mike, I'm very curious. For you, sir. How is it that you Show God affection.

Well, when I was a father when I was a kid, you know how you run to your dad and you say, Hey, dad, I love you and then the w next next thing out of your mouth, your dad's gonna say, Okay, what do you want? And my dad never did that to me. He says, Well, it might, if you look at me, go cut the grass.

So I said, oh, shoot.

So I would cut the grass and then go back to my dad and ask him for what I wanted. And I really believe that Yeah. Showing God and showing people, actions speak louder than words. And I think that was a lesson my dad was trying to teach me. And I'm glad he did.

And it's so true You could tell someone you love them all the time, but until you do something for someone, You know, then it really shows how much you love them. I've got to say, Father, I tell you. I've got a saying, uh, you can show me better and you can tell me. And it applies in a lot of situations. You know, somebody talks about how they're going to change this and change that.

Uh uh you can show me better than you can tell me. And when you uh want to express love to somebody, you can show it better than you can just say it. That's right. That's exactly right. That those were those were opportunities.

However, Right? If you're a dad. You don't. You want that hug. Amen.

You know, you want that kiss on the cheek. Good night. You you you want You know that Expression of affection. You don't just like, I love you, Dad. It's better than the words.

Right? And it's a show me in its own way, right? Yes, sir. Right. And so there, there, therein lies the question, Mike.

When it comes to God, how do you do that?

Well the You you sh you surrender. You know your heart to him. You say, Okay, God. I love you, and what do you want me to do today? You know?

You just you just just you just love on him by telling him how much you thank him for all the things he's done for ready. Yeah.

You just tell him how much you love him. Yeah more from me I I'm I'm Like in my quiet times. I've got those. Where I'm literally. Like, okay, gone.

I need to hug you. I need to be affectionate. What does this feel like? And actually, he walks me through that. Um In a way that I actually feel like I was able to express my affection.

But and interestingly, sometimes I take walks. I just take walks with God. And I literally, in my mind, hold his hand. and and say, What are we listening to? And I try to listen, and what are we smelling?

Because Smell is very much connected to that idea of God's presence. I don't I know that it is. And so what are we smelling? And, you know. Actually Experiencing God on that level.

Believe me, I get it. And you know, Mike, because you know me, how I get an opportunity to serve God in all sorts of neat ways. But there's more to it, you know? If you love me this much, right? If if the only way your wife ever showed you she loved you was by cooking you dinner and doing all this stuff, you wouldn't feel all that loved, would you?

You know Just saying, you know, so I think. I what you know, he threw that all your heart, all your soul, and then he he put this one on the end of it to make you ponder. Um And so I don't know. I I'm working on it myself, Mike. If it was easy, I think that, um You know, that's part of the mystery of the word.

is is you get to delve into that and try to try to see what it feels like. I mean, sometimes when you feel like you're going to cry, you know. Oh, yeah, absolutely. You don't feel like you're going to cry. You do cry.

I can assure you, there were two or three times yesterday, I could not believe the tears that were coming out of my eyes. Um And and uh I forget what the I interviewed a guy with um Um I I'm trying to think of the the brothers the the That saying, um, king and country, anyway. He he was telling me that if they didn't if they didn't cry when they wrote a song, Hmm. They wouldn't record it. Yeah.

That it was just, you know, like an indication that God's in it. You couldn't be more right. And that's all part of... How all that works.

Well, Mike, thank you. As always, my friend, for calling in and being vulnerable, because this is not the easiest thing to talk about. God bless you, my friend. You have an amazing weekend. Amazing week.

Bob. I'm challenged. I don't know about you, but I am challenged. Way challenged. Can't wait for the next mountain to appear so we can climb it.
