Well, what am I thankful for on Thanksgiving? We do this every year. It's a new tradition. There are a lot of names I'm thankful for, but the problem with the names is once you forget one of them, then that person feels like you're not thankful for them. So I'll just do the gestalt. The bigger picture of what I'm thankful for, I'm thankful that we're year 16 of this and this is my job. I don't know that you could wish more for someone you liked, family member, son or daughter, than they got to do what they wanted and get paid to do it. I think you would wish more. Let me think about this. I would wish more that my son and daughter, let's say, if I had a wish for them, and you said to me, well, let's just talk about professions and providing and money and paying your bills. Okay, what would you wish? Well, I want them to pay their bills. I want them to provide. I want them to make their money and be able to take care of their family. I would say that. I would if you said, let's just say my son, because that's the way the world works. If you said, what would you wish for your son? I'll give you two options. He will get a million dollars a year for the rest of his life. No questions asked, can never be turned off. It's not going to be one big lump. It's just going to be $1 million a year for the rest of life. And by the way, he could work, do whatever he wants, get a job at the Home Depot, I don't know, be a dog walker. But he will get $1 million a year guaranteed. Or he will get $100,000 a year, 1/10 $100,000 a year doing what he wants to do. But he has to do it full time. He's gonna have a full time job. He's gonna go to work every single day, maybe even a few weekends in there. But it'll be doing what he wants. But he's gonna be taking a haircut. He's gonna go from 1 million to. And by the way, 1 million doesn't mean he's gonna be a drug addict. It's just 1 million guaranteed versus 100,000. But it's going to be doing what he wants every day. I would take the 100 grand doing what he wants every day. That is how important this is. And the fact that you guys make it possible is never forgotten by this podcaster. So I am thankful to you who listen and share and watch this stuff on YouTube and comment and anyone who participates. Again, it's a dream job. It never existed. And it's what I do full time and it pays all my bills and I have lots of good employees. And we come to a place where people want to go to for work and, you know, there's work involved. There's some trials and there's some tribulations, but I don't know that you could want any more than that. And coming from where I come from and starting out how I started out, it is the greatest blessing of all. So enjoy your Thanksgiving. And what I'm thankful for is you guys. Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at the Adam Carolla Show.
