This was a hard one to get through, really, because I knew that when we shut the mics off, everything would change. Not like in the sense of death or doom and gloom, but yeah. You get it. Like I told Sam, “I love you, kiddo, and we’ll always be here for you. Always.” She’s family. We hope you enjoy the show and we’re off for a very much needed Spring Break. Thanks for listening and supporting, folks. It means more than you know! – d
