 How are you I'm doing great Brian how are you actually Dazed and Confused Dazed and Confused I understand because we're doing a thank-you bonus episode after 1 episode but it's Thanksgiving. And it's a Thursday up and we have already said that all of those are important so this is what we had to do you got it that's what we're looking forward to so I guess I want to say thank you for listening to those that have listened this is been way more fun than I could have ever hoped and I'm going to say a more successful launch than I ever expected so do you feel the same way Brian hundred percent I'm grateful and I'm glad that there's someone out there listening and we hope that we are entertaining you everyday so and hang in there in one week the episode 2 is going to be released and we actually talked about the story when I started this I had two goals one goal was to get at least one person who has never read the book to read the book and that goal has been achieved since my brother has started reading the book and also lines are pointing to him liking it it's awesome I will read the message that he sent me red chapter one probably the best first chapter I've ever read any put LOL I don't know exactly but he said unlike most books I'm interested in all the characters I'm not completely confused the story is hilarious and I'm actually curious as to what's going to happen next and I'm looking forward to reading more chapters in the future I hope he's actually looking to redeem more books in the future but I want them to get through this one and to actually like it and enjoy it Go number one has been achieved well check that one off the bucket list when we started this did you have any expectations or goals as to what with the listenership would be I know you said that you can't imagine an audience definitely felt that way when we started I knew that we had some interesting conversations in the past and the both of us love and adore this process and the project I was anticipating very little but I've gotten way more than I anticipated so I'm extremely happy and thankful as you say absolutely and that goal was to get at least one person to listen to and follow our podcast who neither of us knows that one is going to be much harder to verify right so I guess if that's you out there send a message through Facebook Twitter or at watches idea or send an email to digital watches podcast at gmail.com and you can just simply say you don't know me email that says you don't know me then I will know well I was thinking of the same kind of thing that was really anticipating or curious about what kind of response we would get so far as the responses that I've seen online but I haven't seen a lot yet. Have you gotten any feedback I have gotten something and didn't want to tell the tale and we're talkin about family here so we'll try to be sensitive why wasn't Emily ever been so here's How The Story Goes My wife has been enjoying the podcast at least process of it and that has listened to some of it and contributed to it was enjoying it and I was down visiting her parents in Florida okay and while I was there I wife thought it would be a good idea for my mother-in-law to hear the first podcast of course so as soon as my wife said to her would you like to hear the podcast she said what's a podcast well wasn't all that long ago I was thinking I know and I've never been that really I know and I've never been that really all the beginning my obsession with podcast so I was really surprised by that this course they're obviously but Lorraine went on to say they're just talking back and forth through telling his little bits about themselves etcetera is sick but alright I'll listen I take out my phone and I turn up the volume when I turn on the first episode and Lorrain and I are sitting there smiling at each other and laugh in a little bit and we're not 3 minutes into the podcast when out of her mouth came these words this is boring mother-in-laws play me like you love my mother-in-law but she doesn't have much of a filter why would I be listening this I already know everything I need to know about Brian don't listen to him he's laughing at himself 3 right because as as I remember our first goals was to continue a conversation you and I have been having for 20 years and for me I am grateful thankful and that we have been able to do that and I enjoy the process of just talking to my friend and that's what it's all about for me absolutely when we started this and I was approaching you I said this is for us if other people get some enjoyment out of it that's just a huge bonus but I want to read the books I want to talk about it with you we might as well record it and see what happened I did get one other piece of feedback a very good friend of mine sent an email to me after he listened to our first episode which I was like thrilled because other people are listening to it and that's that's great but his feedback though was defending the merits of the digital watch he was not basing the defense on the digital watch being an improvement over an analog watch face but rather it being an important step in the advancement of technology so I will just read what he said about digital watches okay they are cool since it was the first really practical miniaturization of tech the LED displays alone were amazing even if the battery life of the watch was based on how many times you hit the button to see what time it was I will agree that is a fair argument this podcast strives to be as educational as it is entertaining what grade level is that education but once again thank you all for listening next episode is going to come out in a week I hope you enjoy it please find the material listen to the primary phase enjoy it as much as we do give it a shot thanks everybody by now
