I think we're gonna look back. And 2019's gonna be the last year before things just got crazy. That's what I think we're gonna look back and 2019's gonna be the last year before things just got crazy. That's what I think. What's there ever? Four cars. Oh I see, got it. Automated cars.

And they're all really encouraged and jazzed up for 2019 as well. So we're going to close with some of them saying thank you. But the last thing I want to let you know was we are closing out December

with a fundraiser called Every Dollar December. And it's because any dollars that come in in December are all going to translate videos into other languages, which is cool. So there's tons of languages queued up, we're already working on a bunch. That's something you feel like you'd want to support. Check that out on our website, thebomeproduct.com.

Gosh, everything that happens here only happens because of the support that we receive. And so every single person who sends an email,

makes a donation, comes by the studio, it supports us in any way, impacts the work that we do, and what we're able to put out, and how it reaches out to the world. So, seriously, the giving here is amazing, and we are incredibly grateful.
