Good morning, everybody.

It is Monday here, and we are in Studio A, Live The Dream Media Studios in Marana, Arizona. I haven't been in this studio in a while, and it's just got that nostalgic feel to it, even though we've been operating the studio for. Only six years, it still feels. Different than the other studio, but I really enjoy it because... I had a really big role in helping putting this studio together, so great experience there. I just want to jump into it, you know? There's gonna be rain, supposedly. Okay, so we're getting warnings that there's gonna be all kinds of flooding and.

Possibly, quite a bit of rain, so. Just don't drive through.

Flooded washes. Especially if you just got that doubt. Just don't do it.

That's just the easiest way to completely destroy your day. So move on, find another route.

You know, I want to recap something that went on this weekend that was really fun. We had a great time doing it. As you know, in my little bit of spare time, I have the opportunity to be on the Board of Directors for 88 Crime, which is an honor. It is something I'm very passionate about along with the rest of our board. Everybody on that board is awesome. They work hard. They have a passion for keeping the community safe. And we had a great weekend event. We had the law enforcement appreciation dinner this weekend at the Hilton El Conquistador in Oro Valley, Arizona. So first, I just want to shout out that facility for their greatness. The food was delicious. Everything was great. The media team, it was an awesome event. We got to display a really cool video that Live The Dream Media worked on, and Tony had a big role in that. Tony, I wish you could have been there to see it. It was awesome. And thank you again for putting that together for the organization. And we got to present a lot of awards to departments and teams that have worked on some really cool cases and done different things from tips that have gone through the ADA Crime, Crime Stoppers program. So Tony, hey, if you could pull the pictures up, I have, I sent in the Slack machine. Here we go. So these are a few pictures of the event. I do want to shout out on the far right, the gentleman in the middle there is Dominic Ortega. So if you don't know Dominic, he was actually the first guest on the Bob Elliott show.

He was recently named the Businessman of Tucson this last year. He goes around to all these nonprofit events and he will offer his photography services for free.

He does it out of his passion to give. And not only that, he's very involved in a lot of other philanthropy. So I just want to shout out Dominic Ortega for taking a bunch of other photos. That's just one of many. So if you go to 88 Crimes Facebook page and social media, you're gonna see a lot more. The one next to that, just to the left, that's myself, co-founder and CVO Clint Peake. And then that is the mayor of Marana, John Post. He showed up to show his appreciation for law enforcement. I thought that was really great. There was a lot of other dignitaries there as well. And it's always great when you have your local elected leaders at an event like that. I think it reinforces how folks really feel about law enforcement and they recognize that the work they do every day takes a lot of resilience. The next one there, I've got Timothy Fain. So he's an old coworker of mine. He's over at the Marana Police Department. He's a chaplain, all kinds of other stuff. He's a great guy. I used to work for the Marana Police Department a few years back. That's what I did for the day job, and it was great to have him there. And then I took a room shot. So down there, that's just, that's a part of the room there. We had about 250 people there, businesses, law enforcement officers, other community leaders. It's great. And then that one next to that is Joseph Trasser. He's a new board member for us at 88 Crime. He's a great guy. He really wants to be part of the media stuff, and he's really jumped in. And then the one next to that is Kelly in the Hilton El Conquistador staff, just going over things and putting stuff together. I just really don't think you can shout out a person like Kelly enough. I mean, she does a lot of events like this all year. She has her own non-for-profit called Strength and Shield, where she puts together events to recognize and support law enforcement and first responders.
