ChurchOne App Update

0:02 Looking at our world from a theological perspective. This is the Theology Central podcast making Theology Central. Good afternoon everyone. It is Tuesday, July the ninth, twenty twenty four. It is currently one pm Central Time, and I am coming to you live from the Theology Central studio located right here in Abilene, Texas. Are you ready for an update? Are you ready for Well? I don't know if you'll be excited about it. I don't even know if I want to say an important update, but an update still an update, right. It may not be maybe the most earth shattering news, but at least information that I want you to have. As as many of you know, I have been broadcasting for many years and I've tried utilizing every platform that I can find in some way, shape or form. Right, the only thing that can really limit the number of platforms is how compatible your equipment is with different platforms. In other words, can you broadcast live? Can you only upload to? So there's some limitations there. Like there were times we were trying to go live on like I do know, three or four different platforms at the same time. That didn't work out very well because some of the platforms tried to take control of the microphone and others, and so it would turn the volume down on some platforms and increase it on others, and it was a mess. So but other than that limitation equipment and compatibility,

1:36 the other limitation, of course, is just money, right. I mean, you've got to have money. The more money you have, the more things you can use, the more tools you can use, the more things you can utilize, the more things you can do. So we've always been, you know, trying and looking and looking for different platforms and different options. Well, one of the platforms that we have been utilizing for a number of years now is obviously the Sermon Audio platform and our content is on the Sermons two point oh app and the beta dot sermon audio dot com website. Right, you can find all of our content on the Sermons two point oh app or the beta dot sermon audio dot com website. Now, if you know the beta dot sermonadio dot com website, it's still in beta, but that's going to be the new and improved Sermon Audio website. And you look at it, they have made tremendous improvements. It looks super nice, it's awesome. They've really done a lot of hard work on the website.

2:36 Sadly, many people are still using the old website. I don't know why. Everyone. If you're gonna use the website, go to beta dot Sermon audio dot com. It's much better. It looks something more modern. The old Sermon Audio website looks like something I don't know from like two thousand and two or something. So please go to beta dot sermon audio dot com and then look for us, all right, And so that's that's where our content is. Two point oh app is great. They continue to make improvements. Supposedly more updates and improvements are coming along on down the road and don't know when, but it'll be interesting to see what new things they add and want new features. So our content is there. But one of the things that really makes the Sermon Audio platform worth the money we spend. You know, it's sixty dollars a month and for us to be able to broadcast on that platform. One of the really awesome features is what is known as the church one app church Ohne. You can go to the Google play Store the Apple App Store just do a search for church Ohne. Once you download the app, you have to kind of just start. It's basically going to have you kind of do your onboarding process, and what you need to do is choose a broadcaster. Hopefully you'll choose US Theology Central. Once you choose Theology Central, then the Church One app for all practical purposes becomes the Theology Central app.

4:00 It becomes really our app. And then when you look at it, all of our content is there. It's organized really well, it's got a good search feature, or at least a pretty decent search feature. It's god, all of our content is broken down into series. And so I really appreciate that because if you look at our content on any podcasting app, it doesn't matter if it's Apple, doesn't matter if it's Spotify, Pandora, pocket Cast, Overcast, you just name the podcasting app. Well, all your content is just kind of listed like just basically in chronological order. Typically they start from the newest and go to the oldest. You can typically reverse the order oldest to newest, but that's basically all you have there. There's no way to break things down into series or anything like that, so meaning that in most cases people are probably not going to sit there and scroll down and down and down and down to look at your old content. So a good portion of that old co content is never found. It's just I mean what you You kind of upload an episode and you got maybe forty eight seventy two hours if you're lucky, a week for that episode to really get noticed and to get listened to. After that, it's pretty much done. You could, I hate to say it, you can pretty much go in and just delete it. Now. Sometimes people will find older things via some search, but a good portion of it is just gone. And that is that is very discouraging and very depressing because it kind of tells you as a broadcaster,

5:33 everything is about the now. Forget what you did a week ago, a month ago. It's all about the now. So just keep producing new content because no one You may think, well, I've got, you know, four thousand episodes out there, and nobody cares about three nine and ninety nine of them. Okay, they may, they may look for the last five or ten, but they're not going to sit there and scroll through thousands. They're just they're not going to do it. And there's no way to organize it well. With the Church one app you'll notice everything's broken into series. So there's that possibility that someone will click on series, see the series, and then it's much easier to go through all of the particular episodes. Now, the same thing happens if you look for us on the Sermon's two point oh app and find Theology Central, you can still find our series. If you go to Beta dot sermon Audio dot com, do a search for Theologycentral, you'll find our series. So all of that makes their platform almost invaluable, right, there's no there's not really a price tag you can put on.

6:35 I mean it's sixty dollars a month, but from a practical standpoint, that's really valuable and valuable if I can speak correctly, because all of your your stuff is just organized so you have a greater chance or let's say, there's a greater chance exist that someone may actually find your older content. There's a chance and if you look at to say the bit about Sermon Audio dot website, dot com website or the Sermon's two point zero app. Their search function is also designed to look for any sermons based off a particular scripture or a particular topic, which once again will help people find your old content.

7:16 The podcasting apps their search functions or you know, they're okay, but I mean there's times I've gone to some of the podcasting apps and do a search literally for the title of one of my episodes, and you cannot even find it, And I'm like, well, that that's disappointing. That's discouraging. But with because of all the data I can put in when I upload something to the Sermon Audio platform, I have all that data really works well with their search function, so then makes it easier for it to be discovered. So that's all that makes it invaluable. That makes it, that makes it absolutely like you you want to be on that platform. You do well the Church One app. I have tried to promote it over and over and over and over again. I don't know how successful I've been. This is the one thing that is frustrating. Of all the of all the data and all the analytics I am handed to by a Sermon Audio, they do not tell me how many people have downloaded the Church one app and chosen us as their featured broadcaster. That's kind of discouraging, right, that's kind of discouraging.

8:26 Now, if you go to the beta dot Sermon audio dot com website, they now have a section called my Church you can actually choose Theology Central to be your chosen broadcaster. I know it's called my church because I mean they kind of I know, they still haven't really embraced the podcasters. It's still more about churches. But you could actually make me like, I hate to say my church because I'm not a church. I'm a podcast, right, But in a sense by saying my church, you're saying you're a broadcaster. I don't know if that makes my content more easier to access, but you can try it. Go to Beta dot sermonadio dot com website, look for the section called my church and choose Theology Central. You can report to me what that looks like. I haven't tried it yet. I just saw the feature the other day and I'm like, Okay, that's cool. I wonder if people will utilize that. I don't know what that looks like. I don't know. I don't know how that will work. But the Church One app is the app that we have. I definitely have tried to promote and and and one of the reasons we've tried to promote this, and one of the reasons we pay and and this is this is crazy to think about.

9:33 If you really think about it really the only when this all when we kind of moved in this direction, to be on the sermonadio platform really all we wanted. In fact, I even I think I even asked if it was possible, can we just can we just pay money just to have the Church one app? Like you can hide our content from every other source. We just wanted to be on the Church one app. And why did we want it to be on the Church one app? Class Everyone knows we wanted it to be on the Church one app because of the notifications on Spreaker, our podcast hosting site, when they allowed live broadcasts, the notification system to let people know that I was going live was trash. We did a test on Mixler, which there's a lot of good things I liked about Mixler, but their notification system was somewhat trash. Of everything we've ever tried, the Church one apps notification is by far the best. It is superior to everything else we've ever tried. I get ready to go live. Within minutes, a notification goes out letting everyone know I have gone live. So that's what we really pay the money for, really is for that app, the Church one app. So in some ways we spend the money to be on the Church One app, and sometimes it's difficult to get people to adapt it, to adopt that appy. They want to use other things. But the Church One App we have promoted and promoted and promoted and promoted again. It has all

11:05 of our content broken down into series, and it has notification systems. And not only that, I can send out notices, I can send out links to a book, right, like we've done countless times. If I mention a book, I can send out a link to it. If I mentioned a website, I can send out a link to it. Other people don't use notices that way, but of course I don't use anything the way probably they were originally designed. I kind of always I kind of just make them my own, right, I kind of make them my own. So the Church one app really is now the Theology Central app for those who choose us to be their broadcaster. So I say all of that to kind of explain why we've been using this app and why we pay the money for a lot of people say, well, why why pay the money? I mean, you could do some of the other podcast hosting sites for you know, cheaper, right, I mean, that's sixty dollars a month. You could, No, I could, But then we lose all of our content broken into series, and we lose the live broadcasting option, and we lose the notification system. I if I'm gonna lose all of that, I'm just gonna be honest with you. There's no real point, you know what I'm saying.

12:18 Just I'm just just be done. So what I'm here to tell you today is the Church one app has been updated, and I think it looks really nice. So here, I don't know about you. I'm I'm almost compulsive with this. Every single day I go to the App Store and the Apple the Apple App Store, and I pull down on the screen so it refreshes and it shows me if there's been any new updates to any of the apps that I utilize, because I like to manually update the apps so then I can immediately look at any new features. It's a kind of a compulsive thing. I probably checked more than probably three four times a day because I'm always looking. You can see what new features are added to any app that I utilize. So the Church one app was updated yesterday. Now Here are some of the features that are in this update. If I can find it here, Give me one second. Here we are supposedly this is a complete app rewrite from the ground up. All right, it looks like it all right.

13:24 In fact, what you'll see when you open the new church One app. Well, first, when you open up the new Church one app, once you update it, you're gonna have to do the onboarding process again. You're gonna have to choose us to be your your chosen broadcast. I'm not gonna say your favorite, but you're chosen. And the reason I say, the reason I tell people to use that app for us and not other ministries is mainly because of how frequently we add new content and how frequently I'm going a lot I go live. So that seems to make the app much more productive and profitable to have it for us and other places that only add content once a week. All right, So that's my sales pitch, right. So, but they've kind of place it, basically rewritten it, and it looks a lot like the beta dot sermonadio dot com website. It has the same you can tell they're kind of using the same coding and the same it's looking the same. They're trying to get a kind of a uniformity in all of their platforms. Supposedly, it has an improved search functionality and search history.

14:26 Well, we definitely want the search to be as improved as as as much as they can improve it, because the search is what allows people to find my content. Right, you want that search to be perfect because if people are looking for anything, I want them to be able to find it. If they can't find it, well, then they're never going to listen to it. Enhanced performance and stability. Oh, that's great. We want it to perform better and we want it to be more stable. That's good. Now I've heard that there's some type of a floating player experience. I don't know what that means. I don't know what that is. I haven't noticed it yet, so we'll keep looking for that. Maybe there's more updates to come. It's going to have a more precise percentage playback indicator to know exactly where you are and listening. That's always good. It's going to have dark mode now, depending on your device. My device is already set up for dark mode, so as soon as I opened it, I was like, WHOA, this is in dark mode. That's awesome. If you prefer dark mode sometimes people do, sometimes people don't. They're going to have improved offline support. That's good because sometimes when you're using the Church one app, you're not going to be online. You're not going to be connected to Wi Fi. You may be somewhere, but if you've downloaded messages, you want to be able to get to those those messages that you have downloaded so you can listen when you're not online. So hopefully that works better. They're going to have improved language language support, and they've got French, Persian, Portuguese,

15:58 Spanish, so I don't I don't know how all of that's going to work, but they have that. So the app has been updated, so please go update it. Go to your app store of choice for your device, look up Church one and hit update, or if there's other ways for you to look up updates for your apps updated and then let me know what you see and if you feel it works. Now. One of the reasons I'm doing this broadcast well one, I didn't want to talk about all of this as an introduction to something else, because you know, then there would be a twenty minute introduction about something not related to the topic that we're going to talk about. So it'd be like fifteen twenty minute introduction, then introduce the topic I'm going to talk about that's maddening to everyone. So I thought I would just make this one self contained episode. But one of the reasons we did this is I wanted to ensure that the notification system was working for the updated Church One app, and it worked without any problems. So I sent out a notice earlier than note offication work, and now we went live and the notification work. So that seems to imply that the notification system is working. Great, the app looks much better. Hopefully it functions much better.

17:11 If you find an issue with the update, please you you can contact me. But if you contact Sermonadio directly, that's that's great. You can be I'm a listener, I'm using the app, and this is what it's doing or not doing, because then they can fix it. A lot of times, if something's not working correctly, a lot of people will tell me okay, well then I have to go tell them okay and so but if it comes from the listeners and there's multiple ones coming not just from me, right, I can say, hey, fifteen people contacted me and they're like, yeah, whatever, maybe they did, maybe they didn't. We don't know. Okay, you just want you just want what you want. And I'm like, no, okay, I'm trying to speak for the listeners. But if the listeners actually contact them, then okay, so please go check that out, update your app, and then hopefully it will prove to be beneficial and then listen and and keep church one Like, even if even let's say my podcast comes to an end, well you can then just get rid of me as your chosen broadcaster and then choose someone else and then choose one of the other people on who's used the ceminatial platform and make it their app, right, I mean, I look, that's the one thing about anybody when it comes to Christianity. Doesn't matter if you're a pastor, it doesn't matter if you're a podcast. It doesn't even matter if you are a church.

18:29 You are easily replaceable, just like that. Right, I can sit here behind this microphone thinking that I have some I'm unique, or I have this or I have doesn't really matter. I maybe I'm nothing, because if I disappear tomorrow, nobody's going to remember it. Two days later. They're already gonna moved on. To the next broadcaster, the next podcaster, the next church, the next ministry, and then when that when's gone, they'll just move on to the next one and they just move on. That's kind of the way it's designed to be, right. There's no one who's who's irreplaceable within Christianity. We just were just a voice, and that voice can be changed at any moment at any time. People change anyway, people get, they get tired of you, they don't like you, whatever the case may be. They'll just move on. That's the way it works. So you gotta you gotta realize that. So in some cases you have the tools and as soon as you need to replace me with someone else, you already have the tool in order to do that. And then it will be beneficial.

19:34 So have the app even even even if you don't well, don't even use it for me. Choose another broadcast around Cermonadio and use it for them, right, so that you get their content and you get notified when they go live, right, because then, I mean, I think that's an awesome thing. It'll be it'll be advantageous for you and you'll get you know, better use of of of things. I mean, choose the one choose the broadcaster that's going to benefit you the most, right, that's what you have to do. That's what you must do, because you know there's no point in having it for anybody else. Now, I know for many people that are like, well, I already got the sermons top on oh app, Now I got the Church one app. I don't want another app.

20:17 And I do understand that I do. But if you listen to if you listen to me on a pretty consistent and irregular basis, I think the Church one app is the best way to do so, and look and may and let let me make it very clear when I'm promoting it, it's actually a disadvantage to me. I mean currently for our podcasting feed right for that comes from Spreaker, that's still currently monetized. I'm still debating what to do there that because currently that at least pays for the price right now, currently it can cover the price of broad casting on Spreaker. The monetization covers the price of broadcasting on Spreaker, making basically broadcasting on Spreaker free. That's what that monetization has done. It's not making me any money. It's not going to make my house payment. It's not going to do anything like that, but it does cover the cost of broadcasting, right, So if I can at least cover the cost of broadcasting. In some ways, I don't want to get rid of the commercials. Other ways I want to get rid of the commercials. So I don't know. I'm really conflicted over that, you know, I'm really I'm really conflicted. And so I'm still trying to figure out what to do. But when I tell everyone to go download to Church one app, I'm actually undermining that because the more people who go to Church one, well, that content's not monetized. Hey, if you listen to us

21:47 on Sermon's two point zero Church one no monetization, you see you hear no commercials, right, So in that sense, that's great, right, there's no But I'm undermining my ability to make any money. But that's okay because I want to be able to have easy, the easiest access to the content more than anything else. And yes, you know, there's still a lot of questions moving forward. I still don't there's I told you in twenty twenty three, I didn't know what twenty twenty four was going to look like. Remember I told you twenty twenty four was going to be weird, right, so we definitely know this Victory Baptist Church and Ovalo, Texas. For all practical purposes, I mean, there's just no way to say it's over.

22:30 It's done, right. I mean, there's a big force cell sign in the middle of the parking lot, right, I mean, we're waiting for someone to buy the building. And then for all practical purposes, it's over. If someone does buy the building, if everything works out correctly. Hopefully, if it works out correctly, my house will be paid for and then I don't have to worry about anything there. But that's going to have a profound impact on things, right, It's gonna it's gonna raise some big questions because once the church goes away, well, and if I ask forgiving or donations to help cover the cost of broadcasting on say sermons two point zero Church one, that's sixty dollars a month, Well, if if that money comes directly to me because it would no longer go to the church, well, then now that becomes taxable. Right, So then how do I report that that tax and then do I end up actually hurting myself in the long run?

23:26 Right? Now, there. I think there's an argument if it's less than six hundred dollars, then it won't we'll see the money in some ways, I wish that. I wish Sermon Audio had it set up where people could just give money, but it went directly to sermon Audio and not to me. Right, so then by so then someone basically is paying for my broadcasting. I don't have to worry about any tax. No money comes to me, it goes directly to sermon Audio, and then I'm good to go for I'm good to go for each month. Right, someone just pays for it each month, or or three listeners pay or whatever the case may be. That would be the best because if you bring in too much, then you got to I looked up lots of articles about podcasting and taxing and taxation, and you got to fill out a form and if you bring in this much, and I'm like, no, no, no, no, no, I don't want it to be that complicated. If the monetization pays for Spreaker, great, then the most expensive is Sermonadio, which is sixty dollars a month. If we could find a way for the money just to go straight to them, now it would be great in some ways. It would be great if I could bring in an entire year's worth of support for twenty twenty five before the church goes away. Right then the money would go directly to the church. Then the church. Then I could contact Sermonadio and go, hey, here's a year's worth. Can this pay for all of twenty twenty five? And if they said yes, then hand them the money, be done with it, and then I know I can broadcast between now and

24:59 the end of twenty twenty five five and I don't have to worry about anything. That would be the all. That would be the ultimate thing, right, that would be because then the money we go to the church, the church directly to Sermonadio, never cut cross my hands, and then there we go. And then when the church goes away, then all right. And then then when the twenty twenty six then we would have to determine even if the podcast still exists in twenty twenty six, but at least we would have one final year run. Right. That's the way if I go out, that's the way I want to go out. I want to be able to have like, Okay, you got twelve months, let's well, I've got from now to the end of twenty twenty five. That would be a good run. That would be a really good run. So that's what I'm I'm shooting for. I don't know how that's all going to work, but the thing is, I would like to be able to maintain what we have because I think the platform works really well. I think the Church one platform is one of the look no other podcasting site, no matter how much money you pay for, is offering what they're offering. Right, I could go up and I could go up on Spreaker and pay even more money than I pay for the Church one app and guess what, ladies and gentlemen won't even give me anywhere, won't really add anything to what I already have available to me.

26:15 They don't have anything designed like Church one. So it's worth the money, you know, like to me, once that goes away, you know, I don't know, I don't know, but sixty dollars a month, you know a little bit of a price. There. We have the pod page. I'm still debating on what to do with that because that's twenty dollars a month. So I may get rid of the pod page. Oh, I'd be very discouraging, but then that just brings it down to Spreaker and Church one. Boom, that's it. So then all I would need is I can pay for Spreaker with the monetization currently I can. Now if I keep moving everyone to Church one, then that will go away. But okay, but then on Church one, if we can maintain it, then that's just sixty dollars a month. And you know we can. We can.

27:07 We get the giving to we get the giving to cover it right now. We get the giving supports Church one, so we're in good We're in good shape right there. The issue is once the church goes away, which in all practical purposes, it's it's, it's it's I mean, it could end any time. Then I don't then the money would then I gotta change it to come directly to my bank account, and I don't like that, Like, I don't ugh, I wanted to go straight to sermon audio, like ken is. I don't know if they have it set up. Is there a way that that people can just give money then it just it just covers my broadcasting fee, Like, I don't know how that can work. There's gotta be a way. I'm gonna I'm gonna email them and ask them, Hey, is there a way people can just give directly to you guys to cover the cost of broadcasting for a broadcaster? Now, I know that would probably be an you know, accounting nightmare for them. I don't I don't know how that would work, but it would be It would be so easy for me then, because then no money comes directly to me. None, zero, zilch none, none, and then then that's then all tax issues are taken care of. Then I'm not nobody's giving me any money, so then nobody has to feel like I'm in it for the money. It keeps me kind of a I think I like that. It's much more transparent.

28:26 Hey, all money goes to them, not to me. Boom, You're you're giving to them, not to me, you know so, and then I and then if you decide you don't like me broadcasting, you just stop giving and then I don't have anyone paying for it, and then it goes away like that. Then I think, I like that. I like that there's I like that. That's kind of a that's an eloquent solution. I just don't know if it will work. I need to ask them because that would there really would be awe. Wouldn't that be odd? I would think that would be awesome? Then I'm not. Then all I'm doing is someone is paying for me to broadcast on that one platform. I turn on the microphone, broadcast on that platform, and if the giving goes away, then I don't broadcast on that platform, and then we end the podcast and everyone moves on. That's simple, right, I like that. I just don't know. I don't know if that will work, but we'll cross that bridge.

29:14 But in the meantime, Church one is ready and active and good to go. Hopefully you will utilize it. Hopefully more updates are coming, and we'll be looking for an update to the Sermon's two point oh app. Don't know when. We don't know when that's happening. Yesterday, I was surprised to see the Church one update, so I was like, wow, that that came quickly, so I'd heard about it now I was already there. So we'll see if we hear about the Sermon's two point oh one and then once it's available, so be looking for it on both cases, because what we're hoping for in the Sermon's two point oh app update whenever that happens, we're hoping for notifications. That's what we're hoping because then people, whether they're using Sermon's two point zero or whether they're using Church one, can have it set up that they receive notifications when I'm going live, and so then maybe you won't even need the Church one app. Maybe at that point the Church one app becomes a little bit more irrelevant, maybe it becomes almost obsolete.

30:17 I don't know. I mean, look, if people can get to the content and it's all laid out nicely, then it doesn't really matter which app they're utilizing. I like people having that option because some people don't want two apps on their mobile device. You know they don't, and I understand that. So we will see. But that's kind of the update today. I just wanted to kind of get that out again. This has gone thirty minutes, see talking about all of that as I couldn't have done that on any other broadcast. It would have just messed up everything. So there you have it. The Church one app is updated. Go run the update. Now, go to your Apple your app store of choice, which should be Apple, but okay, go to your app store of choice. Look for Church one hit update. Once you update it, you're going to have to do the onboarding process again. It's going to be all wiped out. Then you'll type in theology Central Boom, choose me as your broadcaster, make sure all the notifications are on. Go under settings, make sure all the notifications are turned on, and then and then you can go with dark mode if you want to go with dark mode, or you can go with the light mode, whichever one looks best to you. And then you can start messing around with the search functionality to see if you feel like it's improved if you've used the old one. And there you go, and we'll see how everything plays out in the rest of twenty twenty four. This year is going to be done. And I remember I was very concern the end of twenty twenty three.

31:48 We made every kind of cut that we can make to preserve and make sure we can make it, and we've done very well making it. And thank you for those who have supported because it's been very helpful beneficial. Now what we have to transition out of is the next transition is no more church. This is just a podcast completely separated from a church. It's not if this is not anything to do with a church. It's just a podcast and a podcast that's it. Now, how do we work this so the money can be handled in a way that's to me. I want my hands off of it. That goes directly to Sermonadio, and then that pays for this.

32:29 That would be perfect. So if we can figure out a system like that, we will, all right, And so it would be great. It would be great if we could. I know, in theory, like if I'm dreaming, all the money comes into the church before it closes down, and then I'm like, okay, then I contact Sermonadio. Hey, here's the money for one year. Can you apply it to my account? Yes? Okay, good, all right. Then we don't have to worry about it to the end of twenty twenty five. And then by that point then I may say the end, I did my best, with my failures, with my mistakes, with the good, with the bad, it's it's it's been what it's been, and then we call it in like one final run, one one final push. So we will see if that's where it goes. Maybe maybe it ends before twenty twenty five, we don't know, but that's kind of where we are, but I think that that's kind of a lot of updates. That's a lot of updates, but it all, it's all interconnected. It's all because a lot of these changes are happening behind the scenes, right, So you don't really if for you you don't see all you see is someone turns on the microphone and talks, you don't really have any connection to all the stuff behind the scenes. There's a lot going on behind the scenes. So we will see. All right, we'll get that out of the way, and then I'm gonna try to take a break.

33:52 I'll be back, hopefully shortly, because ladies and gentlemen, I'm gonna have to make an apollo because I was wrong about Psalm eighty three. Yeah, one of those broadcasts, I'm going to have to say I was wrong, and I was wrong. After hours of verifying, it appears I was wrong. I can explain why I was wrong, but we will talk about that in the next live broadcast. And if you're using the Church one app, you'll get a notification when I start that live broadcast, which I hope to do after a quick break, a drink of water, turn on the AC unit behind me. Oh, and just a last thing, if you if you know right now, I don't know if you know what's happened in Texas, But we got hit by that hurricane. And there's like three million people without power right now, and the heat in some of those areas where they have no power, it's not just hot, it's dangerously hot, like people's lives could be at risk. It's a very serious situation to certain parts of Texas. So the path of it, we were supposed to get a good portion of, like the after effects, but it turned and so for us, we missed all the rain, we missed all the wind, we missed everything. We just have heat. So and if it's hot for me, I can't imagine where some of these people are right now with no power.

35:21 That's that's a bad, bad, bad situation. And for everyone else who's been impacted by the hurricane, not just Texas, the Caribbean, parts of Mexico, some of those places were completely destroyed. So Texas just massive flooding and major power outages, with some with some severe wind damage down in the Houston Galveston area. So yeah, but so I'm gonna do that and hopefully we'll try to get a couple we'll try to get a couple of small things accomplished today. The next thing on my agenda saw eighty three. I was wrong and we'll talk about that in the next live broadcast. Thanks for listening, God bless
