This is my favorite thing that we do, podcasting. I love it as well. I feel like we can be our like true selves and just ramble and rant and argue about all of the things in life. And based off your reviews and your comments, it seems like you all enjoyed as well. So thank you for listening. We know that there are a million different podcasts out there and we're honored that you listen to this one. If I were to choose a single interview, a single one out of every interview done on planet Earth, this would be my favorite one ever done ever i have watched this and listen to it uh about five times

myself and i've i've interviewed hundreds of people literally yeah uh on my other podcast redirected just like that's what i do is interview people but this one was extremely special i'm interviewing our three-year-old daughter drew the way this came about was one of our friends said that their father interviewed them every year on their birthday uh and every year on their birthday they would watch the previous interviews and that way you could kind of see how the kid has grown and change and their interests have have kind of evolved and so this was our first interview with drew and i loved every second of it if only you guys could have seen the making of this video as drew andrew were getting ready at home to come to the studio to film it drew just kept saying mama i have to go to work which is

usually what i tell her in the morning and she'd be like mom i need a snack for work or she'd be like i need get Barbie to take to work. And for those who aren't watching on YouTube to paint the picture for you, she's sitting here. She's got Andrew brought her sandbox, her Barbies, her toys, and she is decked out head to toe as Elsa. Oh my gosh. When we're done, she didn't want to leave either. She was like, she wanted to stay at work. But we had a really good time. I think I cried at the end of this. Anyway, this comes in the wake of several other episodes that I think you'll enjoy for listening to this. We interviewed Judah and Chelsea Smith, celebrity pastors, who had some really wise, deep things to say. Your comments seem to be really appreciative of that conversation. And then we also

did an episode, which I thought was one of our better ones, on body image. Yes. And you are really, I really love your perspective in that realm. So if you're listening, you haven't subscribed or haven't listened to other episodes, please do so wherever you're listening. We're on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and we're thankful for all the reviews and feedback that we get. So please keep it coming.

That's your favorite? You've done a great job. Thank you. But most of you know that we moved into a new house recently. We did a video on that on our main channel. and Bollin Branch played a huge role in that transition. So Bollin Branch played a huge role in the content house and our old house and our new house because in that transition, I ordered new sheets from Bollin Branch for every single bedroom,

including the nurseries, the kids' rooms, all of it. Honestly, that was the most boxes I've ever seen in my life. We had, I think I took a picture of it, like 40 different Boll and Branch boxes because Sean redid every single room. Our beds literally feel like luxurious hotel bedrooms. It's amazing. They look like it. They also feel like it

because Bull and Branch sheets are made from the finest 100% organic cotton threads on earth. They make a difference you can truly feel night after night. And they wash amazingly.

And with the holidays coming up, they would make a great gift for anyone who wouldn't want the gift of the softest, most luxurious organic cotton sheets. Bring home a better night's sleep this holiday season with Bowlin Branch bedding.
