Hey, Jack and JP. This is Tim. I just wanted to say congrats on ten years. I think I've been listening to The LAPS Fan probably almost since the start. I think I first heard about you guys through Meltzer's podcast when you were doing the WrestleMania Journey and came over after listening to all your segments with Meltzer and after the WrestleMania Journey, it was one of those things I was listening to lots of other podcasts and you know, this is

the same journey for a lot of people. I think that become fans of the LAPS Fan, which is at first you kind of walk at the idea of listening to a podcast that's that long, until eventually it kind of wears you down to the point where you realize that, no, it has to be that long, and you guys kind of dive deeper than anybody dares to dive, and so bit by bit over the next few years, I would listen to more episodes. I'm from Australia, but I was living in LA

at the time. I just had a kid and the podcast would keep me going with the sleepless nights. But there were two main bits that kind of hooked me, and you know, you had me kind of from that point on. And the first of which was I think the first time I heard laps Hogan arguing about a finish, which was in the Road Wild ninety eight episode where Jay Leno had suggested getting a visionary pinfall on the Hulkster and that wasn't going to work for him brother, and just that whole bit, I

just was in absolute stitches. And by the time the Trial of his life came around, I was totally hooked. And you know, it's all the other characters, like the LAPS editor who's always hilarious, and I'm very convinced that that's exactly the way that newspapers work anytime something needs to be published about

wrestling. Laps Nash and his constant GPS directions and his obsession with you know, what street and what road was taken to get where, and you know, just really ran them silly details and everything to do with his wine connoisseur and you know, being a film buff and all of that just absolutely makes

me crack up every single time. And the other thing that really hooked me was that, probably around the similar times of the Road Wild episode, you guys spent about twenty minutes on a tangent describing the experience of going to a video store, and you effectively describe my childhood write down to the way that

the store smells. And you know, obviously that's something that you've said it before, but the current generation is totally missing, you know, when everything's at your fingertips and everything's available to you and nothing means anything and nothing special anymore. So that and then once cinemat came around and paired my love of

movies and with wrestling, I've been an EP member since then. But over time, I think while all members of the Solar System come initially for your commentary on the vehicular script entertainment, we stay for the philosophy and the random tangents where you guys just somehow know how to summarize complex issues in like a

really efficient way. I don't know how you manage it, but somehow you are able to like stare into all of our souls and ultimately, you know, drill it down to the fact that it used to be better, and that can be applied to so many things in life and not just wrestling. So congrats on ten years. Keep going harder and deeper than anyone ever dares to. Let's hope the ride never ends. Thanks for the laughs in the middle of the night, the random phrases that live rent free in my head.

Thanks for the philosophy, and thanks for whole comania. Praise be to the Warlord. Happy ten years. Thanks guys. Bye,
