Speaker 1: What's up y'all? Grangersmith Podcast, Episode twenty two. Thanks for watching,
Speaker 1: Thanks for listening, Thanks for being involved. This is episode
Speaker 1: number three since we started putting it on YouTube. There
Speaker 1: are nineteen before that on your favorite podcast app, and
Speaker 1: if you want to go back, the purpose of the
Speaker 1: previous nineteen kind of tells you the story of who
Speaker 1: I am. So if you've ever wondered like, well, where
Speaker 1: did you learn to play guitar? Or what got you
Speaker 1: inspired to play music? Or how did you get your
Speaker 1: big break? Or two or three or four, because it
Speaker 1: takes multiple layers, where do you come from? Tell me
Speaker 1: about your face? Those are kind of the stories that
Speaker 1: I told the story of who I was, the Diary
Speaker 1: of who I am, And it took about nineteen episodes
Speaker 1: plus a little, you know, little shaking bake here and
Speaker 1: there throughout those episodes, different things. Right now, where I
Speaker 1: am with this podcast is giving you, hopefully some quality content,
Speaker 1: something that could answer some questions that you might need
Speaker 1: to know about me. And ultimately my goal is give
Speaker 1: you some things to make your life a little bit better,
Speaker 1: Things that I've maybe learned along the way that are
Speaker 1: not secrets of me, that are moreover things that I
Speaker 1: have read or learned from people in my travels, or
Speaker 1: witnessed myself, or applied to something that's going on in
Speaker 1: my life, and they are ideas worth sharing. And that
Speaker 1: makes me motivated to do this because I feel like
Speaker 1: if I could, if I could see something, and there's
Speaker 1: not many philosophical original ideas, right, I mean, everything has
Speaker 1: been thought out over thousands of years of human learning.
Speaker 1: So if I could take a little piece of something
Speaker 1: I learned and share it with you guys, and someone
Speaker 1: else grabs onto it and then expands on it and
Speaker 1: learns more and then flips it and tells it to
Speaker 1: someone else, I mean, that's the way we evolve mentally
Speaker 1: as a species. That's the way we improve, that's the
Speaker 1: way the earth gets better. And so that's what I'm doing,
Speaker 1: and that's the main motivation. It inspires me. It helps me,
Speaker 1: helps me to know that I'm doing something good. I'm
Speaker 1: making the world a bit better than the way I
Speaker 1: found it, knowing that some life has breathed easier because
Speaker 1: you lived. Ralph Waldo Emerson and I read that point
Speaker 1: It's called success, and I read it a couple episodes ago.
Speaker 1: One of my favorite poems. We found it in my
Speaker 1: dad's belongings. He had handwritten it from wherever he originally
Speaker 1: saw it, and it was in a cabinet with all
Speaker 1: of his things after he died. We found it and
Speaker 1: we read that point. We're just blown away and then
Speaker 1: that that's that's the kind of man my dad was. Really.
Speaker 1: I want to I want to talk about answering your
Speaker 1: questions and this is this is something not only is
Speaker 1: it endless, it could never end there there's always another
Speaker 1: question and I and I don't mind answering them. And
Speaker 1: I'm going I go into this stuff completely unprepared, like
Speaker 1: I have zero notes on the desk here, and so
Speaker 1: I think this is a way for me to not
Speaker 1: continually have a guest or a content or you know,
Speaker 1: a planned content. And I will do those and I
Speaker 1: will have guests, but in the in the meantime so
Speaker 1: that I can give you guys a pod tic cast
Speaker 1: every single Monday, which is the plan. Drop these about
Speaker 1: two am on Monday morning. That way, when you wake
Speaker 1: up on Monday morning, you'll be able to have something
Speaker 1: to listen to, going to work, going to school, sitting
Speaker 1: in the tractor, sitting in the semi truck, sitting in
Speaker 1: your headphones, ignoring your boss at your office. You know
Speaker 1: that's the goal. And I'll start this. I mentioned Ralph
Speaker 1: Waldo Emerson. I'll also mention the quote that is above
Speaker 1: me here at my desk, and that is Theodore Roosevelt.
Speaker 1: Far better is it, the dare mighty things to win
Speaker 1: glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to rank
Speaker 1: with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much
Speaker 1: because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither
Speaker 1: victory nor defeat. And I have that tattooed on my
Speaker 1: left arm. Deare mighty things. It's such an such an
Speaker 1: important quote, and to me, well you know what that
Speaker 1: means is well, first of all, let me tell you
Speaker 1: where we found this. Where I originally found this Teddy
Speaker 1: Roosevelt quote was on the back of a tombstone. And
Speaker 1: you could see that exact tombstone on my music video
Speaker 1: Bury Me in Blue Jeans. But we found that quote
Speaker 1: on the back of a tombstone of two parents. It
Speaker 1: was like the dual tombstone when when two folks eventually die,
Speaker 1: and that was on the back of their tombstone to
Speaker 1: their children, knowing that when their children go in their
Speaker 1: old age or whenever to grieve their parents at the
Speaker 1: grave site, they would see far better. Is it to
Speaker 1: dare Mighty Things? By Teddy Roosevelt? That just give me
Speaker 1: chills and that awesome, What an awesome message to tell
Speaker 1: your kids. And it doesn't to me. That just means
Speaker 1: that obstacles are okay. Failure's okay as long as you're
Speaker 1: in the arena, as long as you're fighting, as long
Speaker 1: as you're willing to sacrifice, you're willing to throw a punch,
Speaker 1: you're willing to take that chance, then it's okay to
Speaker 1: lose because you will. Inevitably you will lose in life.
Speaker 1: That's what happens. But eventually you'll win too, right, It's
Speaker 1: just an odds game. I love that. I always do
Speaker 1: these giveaways. Now and I'm gonna give away right now,
Speaker 1: where's my pen there it is. I'm gonna give away
Speaker 1: a black Ee Apparel cap. This is what we call
Speaker 1: American buck and it's an American flag with a black
Speaker 1: silhouette of a buck on top of the American flag
Speaker 1: and all of our Ee Apparel hats which I got
Speaker 1: this one on in my closet. This is mine, but
Speaker 1: all of our hats are If you look on the inside,
Speaker 1: you're not going to see some brand recognize from Walmart.
Speaker 1: These are EEE Apparel, official merchandise. It says ye yee
Speaker 1: is actual maker all inside the hat. So we design
Speaker 1: these custom for our people. I'm gonna sign this one
Speaker 1: right now, live on the air on the microphone. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna give this away. So go to social media and
Speaker 1: make a post, start a new post, and say hashtag
Speaker 1: in any order, hashtag granger Smith Podcast episode twenty two hat,
Speaker 1: or I want the hat in episode twenty two, or
Speaker 1: give me the daggum hat in episode twenty two. Make
Speaker 1: sure you mention episode twenty two. So when I go back,
Speaker 1: what I'll do is I'll literally just go to socials
Speaker 1: type in hashtag Grangersmith podcast and I'll look for that
Speaker 1: and that way, when I see hat, i'll know when
Speaker 1: it says episode twenty two which hat it is, because
Speaker 1: I've got them wind up in my closet right now
Speaker 1: for the when these podcasts launch. All right, we're good,
Speaker 1: were good. Sometimes I check the camera to make sure
Speaker 1: it's rolling, so I don't sit here and talk for
Speaker 1: twenty minutes and then go, oh, it wasn't recording. I'm
Speaker 1: sourcing these questions from social media, and I asked one time,
Speaker 1: like two weeks ago, and I got hundreds and hundreds
Speaker 1: of questions. So I haven't asked since then because I've
Speaker 1: just I've been going through those same questions, going through
Speaker 1: rolling through those comments. If you have a question, or
Speaker 1: if you asked, then please ask again. If I don't
Speaker 1: answer your question, just ask again. Say hashtag Granger Smith
Speaker 1: podcast so I could find it and then ask you
Speaker 1: know how many dogs you got? You know whatever, it
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. I like the shallow ones because I could
Speaker 1: answer those. I also like going deep, so if you
Speaker 1: want to go deep on these questions, we could do
Speaker 1: that too. First up, this is this is sourced from Facebook.
Speaker 1: Question is how do you keep yourself so well grounded,
Speaker 1: humble and focused with all that you do and have going?
Speaker 1: What drives you and what's your biggest motivation? Well, there's
Speaker 1: there's several layers to that question that I think. The
Speaker 1: first thing right off the bat is I choose to
Speaker 1: not live in a massive music city, So I don't
Speaker 1: live in Nashville or New York or LA. I live
Speaker 1: in Georgetown, Texas. I have lived in Nashville before. I
Speaker 1: have sat in a restaurant booth where the waiter was
Speaker 1: a singer songwriter, the hostess was a singer songwriter. The
Speaker 1: booth next to me was two singer songwriters talking about
Speaker 1: how jaded they were and how much they hate the
Speaker 1: music business. The tale over that was a you know,
Speaker 1: across the way. It was a singer trying to get
Speaker 1: a record deal. That drove me absolutely insane, It really did.
Speaker 1: I could not stand it. I couldn't stand how it
Speaker 1: became such a business and something that we love so
Speaker 1: much turned into a business. I couldn't stand it. So
Speaker 1: for twenty years since then, I've moved back to my
Speaker 1: home state of Texas, and I've been here for twenty years.
Speaker 1: And so along with that, maybe to Julie to answer
Speaker 1: your question directly, because I doubt you're a singer songwriter.
Speaker 1: So I keep myself surrounded by people that have earned
Speaker 1: my trust through friendship or family, blood or longevity and
Speaker 1: a relationship with me that I trust them enough to
Speaker 1: keep me straight, Meaning if I say something out of line,
Speaker 1: if I'm starting to act a little crazy and they say, bro,
Speaker 1: get in line. That's not you, that's not right. I
Speaker 1: believe them right because they have earned the trust for
Speaker 1: me to believe them. Now, some random critic, if they say, bro,
Speaker 1: you're out of line, and I don't know them, I
Speaker 1: dismiss it because you're not in the arena with me,
Speaker 1: like Teddy Roosevelt. Don't you don't know me well enough.
Speaker 1: You haven't spent the years of investment of my trust
Speaker 1: for me to listen to that. That a personal attack.
Speaker 1: But if a buddy from high school that we grew
Speaker 1: up together, we know all the same joint places together
Speaker 1: that we used to hang out. If that guy comes
Speaker 1: up and goes, man, I got to tell you're acting
Speaker 1: a little different lately, and I'm not in a good way.
Speaker 1: I'm listening. You know that's called being grounded. Literally, they
Speaker 1: will take you to the ground and you got to listen.
Speaker 1: Same with your mama. You know your mama starts telling
Speaker 1: you you're out of line, you got to listen because
Speaker 1: she knows you better than anybody else, or your spouse
Speaker 1: or you know, God forbid your kids tell you something
Speaker 1: like that. Going back to that question, humble, humble is
Speaker 1: first of all, I love I love hearing that because
Speaker 1: because I strive so hard to be humble, and that
Speaker 1: is getting rid of ego. Ego is the Enemy, which
Speaker 1: is a great book by Ryan Holliday called Ego is
Speaker 1: the Enemy, and there has been many books written about
Speaker 1: this subject. But Ego gets in the way so many
Speaker 1: times in our life. Ego gets gets gets its little
Speaker 1: gritty hands in the middle of conversations, in the middle
Speaker 1: of us in social media comments and on our walk
Speaker 1: to work. It's it is crippling. You have to get
Speaker 1: rid of it. You have to know when that that's
Speaker 1: the voice speaking to you is ego. You got to
Speaker 1: shut your ears off. What drives you and what's your
Speaker 1: biggest motivation? That's a questions within the question that are
Speaker 1: massive questions. But when I have then surrounded myself with
Speaker 1: those friends and family and mama and hometowns and and
Speaker 1: i've and i've I put the circle of trust around me,
Speaker 1: then that that's what drives me, is to make them
Speaker 1: proud and to be the best version of myself. Does
Speaker 1: that make sense? I can go on and on on
Speaker 1: this question, the great question, Julie, I'm gonna move on here.
Speaker 1: Mike Marshall says, I own a restaurant and Phil, there
Speaker 1: is not enough time in a day. How the heck
Speaker 1: do you balance yours so well with your music career,
Speaker 1: yeee apparel, family, et cetera, et cetera. Thank you, Mike.
Speaker 1: First of all, that's probably just your impression. You Maybe
Speaker 1: you just think I'm handling this well or that I'm
Speaker 1: balancing this well, and I like to think that I am,
Speaker 1: but it is there's many times in the day when
Speaker 1: I pulled my hair out and think I can't do this.
Speaker 1: I've got too many things going on. So brother, I
Speaker 1: feel you. I've known a lot of people in my
Speaker 1: life that have owned restaurants, and I've had aspirations myself
Speaker 1: to start a restaurant or or be involved with a restaurant.
Speaker 1: And I understand, Mike. I don't. I don't understand exactly
Speaker 1: what you're going through, but I could see how that
Speaker 1: is a lot of work and a lot of investment.
Speaker 1: So that that is a that is something that is
Speaker 1: you have to work on, that you have to First
Speaker 1: of all, if it's actually becoming a problem, then I
Speaker 1: would suggest actually time, first time, blocking your day, journaling
Speaker 1: your day, and when you journal your day, you don't
Speaker 1: have to do this very long. Do it for seven days, right,
Speaker 1: So good old fashioned pen and paper. Okay, you got
Speaker 1: an iPhone, pull out your notes and go Monday all
Speaker 1: the way down to Sunday and go and write down
Speaker 1: exactly what you're doing, and then examine and then go
Speaker 1: back and study what you're doing, study that time, the
Speaker 1: journal of your time. And typically we're shocked when we're
Speaker 1: actually focusing in on what we're actually doing when we
Speaker 1: see it written down and you see all the moments
Speaker 1: of your day. When I like to call your unconscious
Speaker 1: right conscious meaning I'm present, I'm in the moment, I'm
Speaker 1: on task, I'm in some deep work right now, I'm
Speaker 1: focused on what I need to be doing to make
Speaker 1: the most of this minute, which, by the way, sometimes
Speaker 1: the most that you could make in a minute is
Speaker 1: by not thinking about anything and relaxing. That's doing something.
Speaker 1: Really relaxing and clearing the mind is doing something right.
Speaker 1: It's not nothing versus unconsciousness. Flipping through Instagram, sitting on
Speaker 1: the couch, flipping through TV, not really wanting to watch anything,
Speaker 1: but you're just kind of seen and maybe something catches
Speaker 1: your eye. Daydreaming, thinking about the future, dreaming about what
Speaker 1: you could be doing, thinking about the past, things you
Speaker 1: should have done, or things that you are really proud of,
Speaker 1: just lost in any other time besides the present. Those
Speaker 1: are being unconscious times, right, That's that's unconscious and we're
Speaker 1: all guilty of it. So if you could make a
Speaker 1: time block, make a journal of your day, and you'll
Speaker 1: you'll realize quickly, Man, I was unconscious for forty three
Speaker 1: minutes from noon to twelve forty five. I was just
Speaker 1: sitting there doing you know, lost. And I have to
Speaker 1: say again, I'm not talking about getting away from relaxation.
Speaker 1: That's different. But a true relaxation is something where you're
Speaker 1: actually in the present and you're you're recharging your batteries.
Speaker 1: That's not boom boom, going through the the remote control
Speaker 1: on the TV and the old the old Apple TV
Speaker 1: or whatever you're watching or YouTube, unless you're watching you know,
Speaker 1: like the Smiths or a Granger Smith music video or
Speaker 1: this podcast. That's great, that's a great thing to be doing.
Speaker 1: That's definitely conscious. But so Mike, after you do that,
Speaker 1: go through this this list of your day and see
Speaker 1: and see exactly you're You're not gonna know how busy
Speaker 1: you are until you write it down and study that.
Speaker 1: Once you do that, then you could actually time block
Speaker 1: and you can go, Okay, this is when I wake up.
Speaker 1: From this to this is when I do this. From
Speaker 1: this to this, this is when I do this. Right
Speaker 1: then I get to the restaurant, and for the first
Speaker 1: forty five minutes of at the restaurant, I'm gonna do this.
Speaker 1: And then from I'm just throwing this out there, from
Speaker 1: nine am to ten thirty, I'm gonna be free for questions,
Speaker 1: for my employees to ask me questions, to mingle with customers,
Speaker 1: to take some sales calls, you know, take a new
Speaker 1: linen company wants to come in and take over our uniforms,
Speaker 1: I'll see. As long as it's between nine and ten thirty,
Speaker 1: that's my time to listen. But if it's if it's
Speaker 1: one o'clock, I'm sorry, I'm busy during one o'clock. But
Speaker 1: you can come back on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, anytime between
Speaker 1: nine and ten thirty, that's my time to talk to you.
Speaker 1: And it's not rude, it's really not. That's just being honest,
Speaker 1: and that's time blocking and making the most of your day.
Speaker 1: And so then when you time block, you've got to
Speaker 1: make sure you have time for you. You got to
Speaker 1: make sure you've got time for your family. So for instance,
Speaker 1: five pm, the seven pm, that's family dinner time. I
Speaker 1: don't have my phone, don't call me, don't text me.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna watch TV. I'm not listening to the
Speaker 1: Grandersmith podcast. There should be a time when you do that,
Speaker 1: but not five to seven. And once again throwing this
Speaker 1: time out there, but you're focused on your family, and
Speaker 1: you're giving the most of yourself to that time in
Speaker 1: your family. You're conscious, you're present in that moment. And
Speaker 1: then from seven to eight, you're gonna go back in
Speaker 1: and you're gonna finish up some emails and you're not
Speaker 1: gonna do anything else. You're not gonna do anything besides
Speaker 1: what is in your time block. And then after eight,
Speaker 1: maybe that's your wifetime. You are one hundred percent focused
Speaker 1: on her from eight till nine p thirty or whatever.
Speaker 1: You don't tell her this because then it kind of
Speaker 1: sounds like it's you know, she's part of your schedule.
Speaker 1: It's not true. But but this is only this is
Speaker 1: only the beginning to help you and then set a time.
Speaker 1: This is this is important for everyone too. Set a
Speaker 1: time to go to bed and make that the same
Speaker 1: time every night. Then set set a time to wake
Speaker 1: up and make that the same time every morning. That's
Speaker 1: so important to get on that rhythm of the earth
Speaker 1: right to have the same time you go to bed
Speaker 1: the same time you wake up. And by the way,
Speaker 1: this is another side note. This is it's probably important.
Speaker 1: We could talk about this later. It's it's important to
Speaker 1: limit your screen time before you go to bed and
Speaker 1: right when you wake up. So there's I would say
Speaker 1: about an hour you should you should mark off where
Speaker 1: so you go to bed at ten thirty pm. After
Speaker 1: nine thirty, no more screens that just messes with your brain,
Speaker 1: you know. Make that the time you take a shower,
Speaker 1: brush your teeth, hang out with your wife, you know,
Speaker 1: relax but not not mindfully go through your phone. And
Speaker 1: so I hope that helps, buddy. And it's not easy.
Speaker 1: Everything I said kind of on paper it sounds easy,
Speaker 1: but once you kind of dig into it, it's a
Speaker 1: lot more difficult. But writing it down helps tremendously. Let
Speaker 1: me go to this question. This is a little bit lighter.
Speaker 1: My buddy, Keith Tarrell, Keith has been coming to shows
Speaker 1: for a long time and always been. I mean, you've
Speaker 1: been a supporter of me for fifteen years. Probably I
Speaker 1: love seeing common names pop back up here. But the
Speaker 1: question is when do you expect new album to drop?
Speaker 1: New Yeee Energy? When will that be released? I can
Speaker 1: answer both of those. So new album, I've been working
Speaker 1: on a lot of music. There is a lot of music.
Speaker 1: There is some songs that were complete, mixed, mastered, done
Speaker 1: in the box, ready to go, and then we had
Speaker 1: a family tragedy last June, so a lot of that,
Speaker 1: I mean, all of it just got put on hold.
Speaker 1: I wasn't excited about putting out new music when that happened,
Speaker 1: so everything just kind of, you know, got shelved by
Speaker 1: my purpose. But the thing is now, the good news
Speaker 1: is a lot of that is ready, So it hasn't
Speaker 1: it's not going to take me any more work. You know.
Speaker 1: Any work I'm putting in now is new stuff, new songs,
Speaker 1: and I probably have like eight to ten of them
Speaker 1: ready to go or at least written. And the demos
Speaker 1: are done and I need to go record the band.
Speaker 1: And so that's exciting because I'll start releasing these singles
Speaker 1: again and music videos again. And then I think that
Speaker 1: the original plan that I had in twenty nineteen was
Speaker 1: when I kind of get to a point where I've
Speaker 1: released enough of them, I'll released like one more and
Speaker 1: we'll wrap it up and call it an album. So
Speaker 1: that'll be the new album. Most likely we could we
Speaker 1: could say twenty twenty, you'll see that new album. If
Speaker 1: not anything, you'll see several more new songs. And then
Speaker 1: let me get to EEE Energy. Those of you that
Speaker 1: have followed me, those of you that have listened to
Speaker 1: this podcast since day one, I've been relentless about talking
Speaker 1: about ee Energy, so passionate about it. It's an energy
Speaker 1: drink me and my brothers created from ground zero, from
Speaker 1: the recipe to the packaging and the can and everything.
Speaker 1: And we've been just so so proud of that drink.
Speaker 1: And guess what, we discontinued it. And you will not
Speaker 1: see EEE Energy for sure in twenty twenty and maybe
Speaker 1: maybe not ever. And you know, it goes back to
Speaker 1: it goes back to a couple of things. One of
Speaker 1: them is it goes back to Teddy Roosevelt. It goes
Speaker 1: back to far better is that to dare mighty things
Speaker 1: to win glorious, even though checkered by a failure than
Speaker 1: to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor
Speaker 1: suffer much because they live in a great twilight that
Speaker 1: knows neither victory nor defeat. And there's a I think
Speaker 1: we were defeated eee energy Tyler. My brother will argue
Speaker 1: and say, no, it was a learning experience. It's about
Speaker 1: that perspective. But needless to say, Red Bull and Monster
Speaker 1: kicked our butt. And it was so much work going
Speaker 1: out and recruiting these distribution companies and convenience stores and
Speaker 1: grocery stores, convincing them to put our drink on their
Speaker 1: shelves when Red Bull was paying them fifteen thousand dollars
Speaker 1: a year to put it on their shelf, you know.
Speaker 1: And that's literally what's happening. And they're doing that at
Speaker 1: every store and every big distribution company, and here we
Speaker 1: are just trying to sell one can at a time.
Speaker 1: And so I can understand we're a mom and pop company.
Speaker 1: And it was ultimately came down to the eighty twenty rule.
Speaker 1: And this is such a valuable thing for me in
Speaker 1: my life and my career, and Mike, this could go
Speaker 1: back to the question about your restaurant too. But the
Speaker 1: eighty twenty rule is it's that old percentage that applies
Speaker 1: to anything in your life. It applies to your closet.
Speaker 1: For example, you wear twenty percent of your closet eighty
Speaker 1: percent of the time you spend at work, you spend
Speaker 1: twenty percent of your time doing or excuse me, you
Speaker 1: spend eighty percent of your time doing work. That's twenty
Speaker 1: percent of your company. And that is what we realized
Speaker 1: with EE Energy, that we were spending eighty percent of
Speaker 1: our time working on something that was contributing back twenty
Speaker 1: percent of what we needed it to do. And if
Speaker 1: we looked at my work as a whole, I should
Speaker 1: have been spending that more of that percentage in writing
Speaker 1: new songungs or working on this podcast. And you know,
Speaker 1: the Smiths came out our family vog last year and
Speaker 1: really took off and really took a lot of my time.
Speaker 1: And so as I started dumping my time into the Smiths,
Speaker 1: I realized I cannot put effort into E Energy just
Speaker 1: to be beaten by Red Bull and Monster, just for
Speaker 1: the chance that we could have that sliver of success
Speaker 1: in the energy drink market. So it it became for
Speaker 1: me kind of an admitted defeat, but not in a
Speaker 1: shameful way, not like not like we failed, you know,
Speaker 1: it was we were defeated, and it was a valiant effort.
Speaker 1: And the reason I say that is because I'm very
Speaker 1: I'm still very proud of that drink and the way
Speaker 1: that it tasted. And we were getting ready to come
Speaker 1: out with a sugar free version, and we found out
Speaker 1: it was going to cost like one hundred and sixty
Speaker 1: thousand dollars to basically start new with a sugar free version,
Speaker 1: and it was like, oh my god, you know we
Speaker 1: got We're not gonna this is not it's not smart business.
Speaker 1: So I hope that answers your question, Keith, And to
Speaker 1: all you that has supported Ee Energy with me, thank
Speaker 1: you for that. That was such a fun run and
Speaker 1: all part of the Gee brand, you know. To me,
Speaker 1: it's all kind of all part of that umbrella. And
Speaker 1: I'm gonna end it with that because I'm running out
Speaker 1: of time here on the computer and I'm going to
Speaker 1: put these out every Monday. So thank you guys, thank
Speaker 1: you for listening. This podcast is brought to you in
Speaker 1: part by the men and women that are serving overseas,
Speaker 1: the soldiers, sailors, airmen, marines, all the men and women
