By the grace of God, it is finally Friday. Welcome hour number duh of the of the show, Mary Walter at the bottom of the hour. She's always awesome. She fills in on the show whenever I'm off and I insist on it because she's amazing. And so we're gonna do. We've got a bunch of different topics for her at the bottom of the hour and a lot of things to get to. I had a wonderful dinner last night with some friends from Kansas City I have not seen in a number of years. Her name is Jeannie Blau, by the way. Her husband and a couple of their friends and they were coming to D.C. and reached out and I just said, hey, let's go to dinner. Let's go down to King street in Old Town Alexandria. And we winded up having a marvelous time. And I got to tell you, I, since I moved here, I've seen more friends than I did in years living in Kansas City. And you know, if you looked at my life and what's happened in the last year or so with the divorce, everything, you might say that I have a lot to be sad about and I'm not. I've been through the, the agony, I've been through the. I like to say divorce is like finding out your parents died every day for a year. And it's been that way because I used to say that the three proudest accomplishments of my life were my marriage, my children, in my studio. And the only thing that still is intact is my studio. But I have an enormous amount of joy, and it's really beginning to catch on after a long hiatus. And so I. Rush Limbaugh used to have the. His. His network was called the. The EIB Network, the Excellence in Broadcasting Network. And I've said this before, but I don't know if I've told you in a while. My Network is the BBB network. Maybe we should call it the B3 network. And that means blessed beyond belief. It means blessed beyond belief. It took me a very long time to get here. I did a. I did an interview this morning with someone from Barrett Media, and it's going to be on Barrett Media site next week. And they were just asking me about. Because, you know, listen, guys, I'm a national media figure for the first time in a career that's over 35 years. Took me 30 years to be an overnight success. And. And we have this delightful conversation, and I just shared, you know, what's happened and. And where I am and how blessed I am, how blessed I am. And listen, my. My wife divorced me for whatever reason. There's nothing I can do about it. I. I wish her well. I love her. I do. I do. I really love her. I'm angry at times, but I love her. And my kids are now 1800 miles away, and my dogs are 1800 miles away. But I refuse to succumb to darkness. There was a song. I'll just. I'll just, you know, hell, I'll just mention it here. I'll write it up here. There was a song. I'm gonna. I'm gonna look like a Gen X or traditional Gen Xer. Here. There's a. There's a group there, a group in the early 90s, the Indigo Girls. And there are a couple songs. History of Us was one of their better songs, but they did a song called Prince of Darkness, and. And it's amazing song. My place is of the sun and this place is of the dark and I do not feel the romance I do not catch the spark My place is of the light and this place is of the dark and then it moves on to talk about maybe there's no haven in this world for tender age My heartbeat like the wings of wild birds in his cage My greatest hope, My greatest Cause to grieve and my heart flew from its cage and it bled him on my sea sleeve. And then it goes on to say. I'm trying to find the big words here. I try to make this place my place. I ask for Providence to smile upon me with his sweet face. But I'll tell you my places of the sun and this place is of the dark and I do not feel the romance. I will not catch the bark. And then it goes on to say I will not be a pawn for the Prince of Darkness any longer. By grace, my sight is growing stronger. I will not be a pawn for the Prince of Darkness any longer. Listen to that again. By grace, my sight is growing stronger. I will not be a pawn for the Prince of Darkness any longer. There you go. I'm not going to do it. I'm here to entertain you. I'm here to maybe share what I've discovered. I won't say enlighten you because you guys are smart, you pay attention. So I'm gonna say, I'm gonna teach you anything, really. I'll share what I've learned because I learn new stuff every day. Because when I hit this microphone every day, I gotta become an expert on everything to at least have a conversation. I've got to kind of become an expert on everything. And I don't know whether one day it's this, one day it's that, and then I got to understand this. And I gotta understand. I'm like, holy crap. That's why I do 10 hours of show prep for a 3 hour show. But I also try to bring it to you using levity and joy whenever possible. By grace, my sight is growing stronger. I will not be a pawn for the Prince of Darkness any longer. I'm not going to. There you go. The Blessed Beyond Belief Radio Network. There you go. B3. B3. It's like diners Drive Ins and dies. Triple D. There you go. Here's Donald Trump talking about Charlie Kirk.
