The Moos Room™

00;00;11;03 - 00;00;48;04
Emily
And welcome, everybody to the Moos Room. Emily and Brad here. And it is a special day on the podcast by some, I don't know, miracle shear force of Will. Whatever you want to call it. We have made it to episode 300 of the Moose Room, which I. It's just crazy to me. Mind boggling. You know, when we started this thing, over five years ago, I, I just, I don't think any of us knew, like, what what would come of it, how it would go, what people would think of it.

00;00;48;06 - 00;01;19;11
Emily
And we are still here, which is like, yeah, I guess a testament to us, but it's really a testament to all of you listening. Right? We wouldn't still be doing this if nobody was listening to us. I mean, maybe we would. I mean, Brad and I are kind of like, scream into the void type people, but but honestly, all of you listening to this and that have listened to any episode, you you are the reason we get to be here over five years later still doing this, which is pretty rad, if you ask me.

00;01;19;11 - 00;01;28;14
Brad
Yeah, it's kind of crazy that we've made it this far and that I've actually actually, allowed you to come back today and, depend on my podcast to.

00;01;28;17 - 00;01;30;26
Emily
Force myself back onto the podcast.

00;01;31;00 - 00;01;31;16
Brad
Exactly.

00;01;31;18 - 00;01;33;07
Emily
Brad's show is over.

00;01;33;10 - 00;01;53;22
Brad
Right? Well, I think it was an idea that three of us had back in 2019. So this was before we hit Covid era that we had this idea to start this podcast about cows, because nobody else was really doing there were really no other cow podcasts, or at least nothing like we had done before. So that was our vision.

00;01;53;22 - 00;02;12;10
Brad
We actually, we maybe have started recording some of the stuff back in November of 2019. I think we all came out here to Morris and started shooting around ideas and figuring this out. And then, you know, Covid kind of happened, and that's when it was like, well, we'll just run with it and, and record every week. And we did that.

00;02;12;10 - 00;02;18;10
Brad
Then we kept going every week since then we've lost one along the way.

00;02;18;13 - 00;02;24;25
Emily
Okay. You make it sound like he's dead. To be clear, Doctor Joe is still among us. Among the.

00;02;24;27 - 00;02;27;05
Brad
Dead season. Dead to us. Joe.

00;02;27;05 - 00;02;35;28
Emily
Yeah, yeah. So? So, yeah. So, of course, as a reminder, Doctor Joe did live extension. He's working with so at is.

00;02;36;01 - 00;02;49;18
Brad
So at us. Yes. He works for zo at us running all over the state of Minnesota, helping farmers and talking to them about, animal health issues, things like that. So he's he's doing well, but, do we miss him?

00;02;49;21 - 00;02;53;17
Emily
Yes. I had, so sassy. Good.

00;02;53;19 - 00;03;10;23
Brad
I am sassy today because I'm actually feeling good. The sun is shining here in Morris. It is not raining, so it's. It's a good day anyway, you know, we we miss Joe. We do. He's was an integral part of of this podcast.

00;03;10;26 - 00;03;25;01
Emily
And if it weren't for Joe, this would have never gotten off the ground. All right. Let us be very clear on that. We, you know, Joe walked so we could run, I guess. Right. Right. Run right away from him.

00;03;25;04 - 00;03;54;16
Brad
Emily and I were just on the peripheral, and. But Joe was doing all of the editing of the podcast, set us up for some great things. And, I have taken over the editorial duties. I can edit it. No time now. So it's, No problem. So if if all of our listeners think that we have other people doing things for us, we actually don't, and we never really have, you know, it is us doing it.

00;03;54;16 - 00;04;02;00
Brad
We're editing, we're creating the content, all of that. We have gone on this venture, ourselves. And it's.

00;04;02;00 - 00;04;28;05
Emily
Been fun. And I continue to do the bare minimum. I show up, but someone has to. Right. So there you go. But, today I did not do the bare minimum. I actually, I was saying to Brad, you know, I am somebody that when things have an A series or what have you, you know, movies, books, whatever.

00;04;28;05 - 00;04;56;21
Emily
I am always a person that loves, like, the retrospectives, the the oral histories, those types of things. And so I thought it would be fun to just kind of, like, put together a few points, a few things to think about of kind of, you know, where we've been and where we are now because it's, again, over five years, like so much has happened, you know, since since this started.

00;04;56;21 - 00;05;20;15
Emily
So episode one of The Moves Room, if you look to All the Way Back, was published on April 6th, 2020. So yes, like Brad said, kind of right as Covid was starting, basically we all had the time to finally like sit down and just get this going and off the ground, I say we I mean, Joe, right.

00;05;20;15 - 00;05;53;28
Emily
So yeah, over five years ago and again, I kind of like a retrospective, a back then and of course, keep in mind again, this was Covid. We were like truly in the heart of of knowing Covid was going to be more than a two week lockdown at this point. Right? So in April 2020, the milk price was 1435 per hundredweight and Russ Steers went for about $2 a pound at that time.

00;05;54;01 - 00;06;00;07
Emily
I will note dress steers did continue to go down. By July they were down to a buck 50 a pound.

00;06;00;10 - 00;06;24;23
Brad
Yes. I think a lot of things changed, in when we started. You know what? I even thought about that from a cultural standpoint in some of our, our research, that we did here, cull cows were the lowest in 2020. We were getting maybe four, $500, maybe for a call cow. And today, if you think about it, there are some cows that we call.

00;06;24;23 - 00;06;55;23
Brad
We're getting over $2,000. Four things can change a lot in five years in a matter of no time. And whether it's on the market, I think some of these aspects actually related to price of steers, price of beef. It's still stems from from Covid. And this is Brad's opinion when when people were culling cows and culling down the herd and we obviously we had weather events that, has made the beef herd get smaller, things like that.

00;06;55;23 - 00;07;18;13
Brad
But I think a lot of the stuff still stems from some of the Covid stuff that that we saw. Although the milk price, you know, that's always, that's always the issue. I think about it, if, if you look at our milk price today. So I for May 2025, our milk price at our research center on the conventional herd is $20.33.

00;07;18;16 - 00;07;28;13
Brad
That's with all of the premiums, that we have. So did not price really increase much over that time? Probably not. Probably not a little bit.

00;07;28;15 - 00;07;52;02
Emily
But right. We are not economist. So we may be get deep into inflationary type stuff. Isn't that right. But yeah, no, it's definitely a consideration. But I will say I was like really surprised when I looked up the milk price from April 2020. I you know, that was a crazy time. I think there's a lot we've kind of like blacked out.

00;07;52;02 - 00;08;16;24
Emily
We just try not to remember. But yeah, that. Wow. 1435 and again, that was just the kind of the average for the month that I found for, for all milk from, National Federation of Milk Producers, I believe, is where I got that figure. So, so yeah, that was April 2020. And of course, the top news topic then was Covid 19.

00;08;16;24 - 00;08;38;24
Emily
That's all anybody was talking about. Except us. You know, we talked about it a little bit, on the podcast shout out Ashley Coles. But of course we were talking about a lot of other things, and we just kept talking about them for five years. And now here we are, 300 episodes later and now today.

00;08;38;26 - 00;09;03;26
Emily
Yes. So, Brad shared his milk price. He's at about 20 bucks. The average I looked up today, and this is, you know, again, all milk average. We're looking at about 2160 per 100 weight. And just steers are about 380 a pound. So just steers have almost doubled in price in five years. And that sounds about right.

00;09;03;28 - 00;09;40;16
Brad
One of the biggest things that we have done on this podcast with our guests is ask them their favorite beef and dairy breeds. And I hopefully all of our listeners appreciate that. It is quite wild that we do that. And there's been over 60 guests joining us on this podcast from genetics. Talk about the Azar's. Shout out to my, former grad student Glenda, who actually has her own podcast now in Maine to educational, mental health, tractor safety and cows.

00;09;40;19 - 00;10;05;01
Brad
But our guests have named over 20 beef breeds for their preference. We know that there is one correct answer and nine dairy breeds among their favorites. So not everybody has the same opinions about dairy and beef breeds, which is good. Which is good in my mind you, there's two right answers, but, except the other ones.

00;10;05;06 - 00;10;35;29
Emily
Well, you know, variety is the spice of life. And and I think that's also, you know, we looked up a lot of different information to share with you, and I was really shocked when Brad was sharing, all the listeners, excuse me, all of the countries where we have listeners. So, we are listened to in 89 countries across the world, which is very cool.

00;10;36;01 - 00;10;53;20
Emily
We are in countries such as Afghanistan, Nepal, El Ethiopia and Zambia. Again, that's just very cool to me that, that, we, we reach people that far away from us and, I also had to if.

00;10;53;20 - 00;11;09;02
Brad
You if you think about it, there are 195 countries in the world that is half of the countries. Listen to our podcast in the world. That's crazy for just a bunch of amateurs. Just yeah, ranting about different subjects.

00;11;09;02 - 00;11;29;04
Emily
Yeah. That, the Newsroom is truly a global, organization. So, yeah. And then I thought it was interesting to learn about our top ten countries, with listeners. So, Brad, why don't you run through our top ten?

00;11;29;06 - 00;11;57;11
Brad
Of course, the first one is the US. Obviously, that's where we're based. So most people, most of our listeners tend to be here in the US, but we have Canada and then Australia, Japan, United Kingdom, Germany, China, Brazil, France and New Zealand. So obviously you would expect a lot of those countries because there's a lot of cows in those countries.

00;11;57;11 - 00;12;05;26
Brad
So people are looking for cow information. But it is fascinating that those are the the top ten countries where where we're in.

00;12;05;26 - 00;12;39;06
Emily
Yeah. And and if you are listening from one of those countries right now, thank you, thank you, thank you. You know, it's I, I feel so dumb because I'm, like, smiling ear to ear right now. It's very cheesy. You can probably hear it in my voice, but it's just it's cool to me. And it's such an honor that, we we get to, you know, talk about stuff that we're interested in and talk about the work that we're doing, and, and so many of you want to listen in and, and share in those conversations with us.

00;12;39;06 - 00;12;43;17
Emily
So that is very cool. Thank you all.

00;12;43;19 - 00;12;53;03
Brad
And there are some interesting countries to the UN that are kind of ones that you might not think about. We we have been listened to in Afghanistan.

00;12;53;05 - 00;12;53;20
Emily
Yeah.

00;12;53;20 - 00;13;31;22
Brad
There's been some listeners, I'd have to go back and look at the episodes, but F Ganesan, we're also in, Nepal. So which is very mountainous, country. So Nepal and we're in quite a few, African countries as well that are prominent in the dairy world from Ethiopia and Zambia and Kenya. So a lot of people looking for information, related to what, what we're ranting about, which is which is, which is really cool that, there's a lot of people, from around the world that want to, that are just looking for information and looking to see what what we can offer.

00;13;31;24 - 00;14;04;25
Emily
Yeah. And, you know, I just I have to we're kind of at, like, the breaking part right now, of the, of the celebration. So I just have to brag about one more thing. And then we can, you know, get back into other good stuff and favorites and fun facts and what have you. But this podcast was the 2022 national winner of the Audio Recording Communications Award from the National Association of County Agricultural Agents, and specifically, we were the national winner.

00;14;04;28 - 00;14;30;11
Emily
The episode that we submitted was episode 84, which is, of course, my favorite episode of all time. Dale Cracker Berg story. So that is the episode, that we did with my dad for National Farm Safety and Health Week. Sharing his story about how he lost his leg in a farming accident. And, yeah, it's it's just very cool that we got to to win an award for that.

00;14;30;11 - 00;14;55;16
Emily
And, you know, I think it's important for us to celebrate the awesome work that we're doing. So wanted to share that. But yeah, now just other cool stuff. Maybe this one's also a little Brady, but we are the favorite podcast of Minnesota Agriculture Commissioner Tom Peterson. So shout out Tom. I think that's very cool. He has mentioned it in the media that we are his favorite podcast.

00;14;55;16 - 00;15;09;05
Emily
You know, so so it's official. It's a done deal. So so thank you, Commissioner Peterson. And and everybody, not just farmers, but yeah, folks that are associations and agencies that that listen as well to stay informed.

00;15;09;07 - 00;15;37;19
Brad
If you think back over the five years, they're our most popular episode is episode 189. And it was actually with our colleague Commissioner Martinson in the Department of Animal Science. And it was on being prepared for unexpected end of life as a farmer where, you know, tragedy struck her family. Her husband passed away at a very young age and was left with basically the farm and cows and hay making equipment and you name it.

00;15;37;22 - 00;15;38;27
Brad
And so we really.

00;15;38;27 - 00;15;40;29
Emily
Terry, many land leases and.

00;15;40;29 - 00;16;03;14
Brad
Lots of land leases and everything. So if you really want to listen about farm transition and what happens, I would absolutely go listen to that episode again. It is obviously very touching. But it provides a lot of information on what can happen and what to think about when when we're thinking about and the life as a farmer.

00;16;03;21 - 00;16;06;08
Brad
But by far our most popular episode.

00;16;06;10 - 00;16;31;09
Emily
Yeah, most popular for a reason. So if you haven't checked it out, we really encourage you to do so. Lots of great talking points in there about a really tough subject. And you know, again, we we really thank Chris. So enough for coming on and, and sharing. I know that that was, a difficult episode for, for all of us to record and for many of you to listen to, but clearly was a really necessary conversation.

00;16;31;09 - 00;16;45;19
Emily
And again, it's it's the most popular for a reason. So so we're really grateful for your listenership. On that very powerful and poignant and important episode.

00;16;45;21 - 00;16;56;06
Brad
So let's talk about Emily's favorite. So obviously, you, your favorite guests was Commissioner Peterson. Yes. But what's your favorite episode?

00;16;56;08 - 00;17;16;05
Emily
Well, and, I mean, we've already talked about both of them, but I it's a tie. I mean, of course, episode 84, the episode of my dad telling his story. That was just very cool to get to do as a professional and very special to get to do as a daughter. And I am, like, getting a little choked up.

00;17;16;11 - 00;17;38;05
Emily
Just thinking about it. It is also the day after Father's Day, so, yeah, it was it's very special that I got to record that episode with my dad and also, again, we just talked about it, our most popular episode, episode 189, with Chrishell. That was also just a favorite because it was also very, special.

00;17;38;05 - 00;17;54;00
Emily
And we were very honored to to be the ones to have that conversation with her and, and share that message with others. So those ones will will always probably stick out, as my favorites. No, no matter how many episodes we do.

00;17;54;02 - 00;18;01;20
Brad
So we all have favorite moments of our podcast. What is yours? Emily?

00;18;01;22 - 00;18;28;20
Emily
Well, you know, like on on our little, notes here. And we rarely have notes for this podcast. I have one thing written down, but I mean, we have to mention it. If you have been around for episode 200, episode 100, even, you've probably heard it. It happened early on. One time we were recording an episode with our, colleague from West Virginia, John David Johnson, and Bradlee managed to fall out of his chair.

00;18;28;20 - 00;19;00;03
Emily
How? I'm still not really sure. So that always stands out as a moment, like we were in the middle of recording and there was just a pause in the conversation, and all at once you hear Brad say a four letter word and a thud and he's down. So that will always stand out. But for me, another maybe not a favorite podcast moment, but just like a favorite thing about doing this podcast is getting to meet our listeners in the wild, at programs at Farm Fest.

00;19;00;05 - 00;19;20;14
Emily
Also just like out and about in, in whatever, capacity is, as you know, outside of work, too. I've loved getting to meet people who meet like, listen to the podcast. And it does always blow my mind. You know, when people say like, oh, you know, like, I listen so they don't know what I look like, but they just recognize my voice.

00;19;20;16 - 00;19;36;13
Emily
I think that's kind of cool. So, and of course, you all know I'm a people person, a social butterfly. So I love getting, to meet you all when. When we are out and about. So that is. Yeah. Like, my favorite thing about podcast.

00;19;36;16 - 00;19;53;20
Brad
And it is always cool to see how walks around other places. And we back in the day when we started, we used to have merch, we had some t shirts and sweatshirts and stuff that we, we gave away and hats. And sometimes people wear those and you see them out and about and it's like, oh, it's kind of cool.

00;19;53;23 - 00;19;59;24
Brad
We have not had new merchandise in a long time. But who knows, maybe soon.

00;19;59;27 - 00;20;13;21
Emily
Maybe. I still have a little bit of merch. So if you're ever, you know, if you ever see me out and about, I do try to carry some with me at events, so maybe I will have something with me. If you ask.

00;20;13;23 - 00;20;16;27
Brad
We could be persuaded. We could be persuaded, yes.

00;20;16;29 - 00;20;24;25
Emily
Yeah. But I you know, I want to hear about some of your favorites now. So who has been your favorite guest?

00;20;24;28 - 00;20;54;13
Brad
Well, that's a tough one, but I think my favorite guests really have been probably my graduate students or former students have talked about, Glenda Pereira, which is always good to see that she started her own podcast, in Maine and is doing very well with that. Ted Kirsten, talking about Edgar, vortex and Sabrina. Actually, Sabrina was on and she talked about Edgar Vortex, but then she was the brown Swiss.

00;20;54;13 - 00;21;11;10
Brad
We talked about brown Swiss with her. She was grew up on a brown Swiss farm. So, and then Catherine talking about some of her research, recently here, but I'd have to say it's been my graduate students, just to see how well they've been successful in life and have continued on in the dairy world.

00;21;11;10 - 00;21;36;25
Emily
Yes, I you know, I have gotten to know Brad's various grad students over the years. And they are always such awesome people doing such awesome work. Yeah. And, and I agree, their episodes have always been a lot of fun to to have them on and hear about what they're doing. So besides the episodes with your graduate students, what what do you consider your favorite episode?

00;21;36;27 - 00;21;58;11
Brad
Well, I would say my favorite episode so far is probably episode 187. It's where Brad and Jo decided to have a a debate on Holstein versus jerseys, and which is the the right way to go. I think there was a research paper that came out, about Holsteins and jerseys, and I think Joe and I decided to have a debate about it.

00;21;58;13 - 00;22;05;01
Brad
I don't think we, came up with any winners. Obviously it depends on the management and the situation, but.

00;22;05;03 - 00;22;10;07
Emily
It was only a loser that episode, and it was you.

00;22;10;09 - 00;22;13;10
Brad
It was just Brad. And Emily was just there. Emily. It was just.

00;22;13;17 - 00;22;16;01
Emily
Truly. I was just there for that one. Yeah.

00;22;16;04 - 00;22;35;02
Brad
But it was fun. It was fun. My favorite podcast moment. And I'm going gonna probably I have some. So we've we have some funny clips, maybe I'll put some of these at the end of the episode today, just so you can hear, reminisce about some of the, the funny things that we've done over the last five years.

00;22;35;02 - 00;22;56;17
Brad
But probably my favorite was when, Brad and Emily were trashing Joe because he went to get a trailer for his Herford beef cow that he had, purchased to do some calving work and things like that. And she was supposed to podcast that day, and then he didn't show up, so we just trashed him, and, he saved that.

00;22;56;17 - 00;23;00;25
Brad
And I'll probably throw that at the end as well. But it was quite fun.

00;23;00;27 - 00;23;33;27
Emily
So we, you know, we've always had a lot of fun, on this podcast, if nothing else, tons of fun, right? You know, and I and I will say we get asked by our colleagues in extension probably the most. I was just like, how have you managed to do this? Like, you know, 300 episodes every week? Of course, there was a period of time, last summer with, with H5, where, Joe was doing more than one episode a week as well.

00;23;34;00 - 00;23;45;12
Emily
You know, some special bonus episodes. So, like, how have we managed to do this? And I don't think I have a great answer to that. Or there's many answers. Maybe right.

00;23;45;14 - 00;24;06;26
Brad
I don't think I have a good answer either. I think a lot of it is. Well, we've we've been ingrained to do it once a week for five years, but I think it's because people keep listening to the podcast and we see it in various places, like just this last week, dairymen had it where I, they wrote an article where I was talking about our Johnny's disease testing.

00;24;06;26 - 00;24;28;05
Brad
So thanks to people like that and other media outlets that are promoting our podcasts and we get listeners. So I think when people stop listening to our podcast, that's probably the day we stop. And we've done it once a week. And I don't know, I guess we continue to just do it. And I know some days we log on and go, what are we going to talk about today?

00;24;28;05 - 00;24;50;23
Brad
But we usually figure that out and sometimes it's set up and we'll we're going to keep going. And we have guests coming in the future and all kinds of good stuff. So we hope that you'll keep listening. And I think that's the that's why we have kept going, and made 300 episodes is because people keep listening and they want to to hear.

00;24;50;26 - 00;25;20;28
Emily
Yeah. And I just it's so crazy, right? I was like, we'll run out of stuff to talk about eventually. Right. And like, how how silly of me, to think that, you know, and of course, we've we've kind of changed up our structure. If you remember, when we first started, our idea was to kind of pick topics and, and talk about it from a general perspective and then a dairy perspective and then a beef perspective.

00;25;21;00 - 00;25;55;01
Emily
You know, and boy, we had the best of intentions with that plan. I don't think we've used that pattern for episode, in years. Right. But but we've just found what has worked over time. And of course, you guys have helped along the way too. So thank you to anybody who has called or emailed or reached out on social media or talked to us and gave an idea when we saw you in person, that also helps us, you know, keep things fresh and, and keep coming up with more episodes to.

00;25;55;03 - 00;26;15;25
Brad
Well, then I think we're a little bit different. You know, our podcast has been different. It's we talk about subjects that maybe you don't hear on other podcasts. You know, there's a lot of nutrition ones out there, you name it. But there's topics that we talk about that maybe you don't hear on the mainstream or other dairy or beef podcasts.

00;26;15;25 - 00;26;41;27
Brad
You know, I can think about Joni's disease like that just came out. I've talked about glucose, this in our herds. A lot of the things that I talk about somewhat are from my research, but I think they affect the industry as well. So I think we are talking about subjects that you might not hear otherwise. And we're having people and guests that you probably don't hear all the time either that are doing good stuff and, and have a voice in the industry and, and do that.

00;26;41;27 - 00;26;54;21
Brad
So, you know, if you're ever wanting to be on a podcast and be a guest and talk about what you're doing in the dairy or the beef industry, you just let us know and we'll gladly have you on.

00;26;54;23 - 00;27;15;02
Emily
Yeah. We want to be clear. You are welcome to invite yourself on. Yes, yes. Right. I think you don't have to wait for us to reach out to you. Many of our guests have have been. It's because they've reached out to us. Right. We we tried to stay on top of what's going on and find the latest and greatest and and use our networks.

00;27;15;02 - 00;27;32;07
Emily
But, you know, of course, we are just two people, so we we can't, catch it all. So, yeah, feel free to reach out. Or if you have a guest, you know, you're a listener and there is a guest you really want us to have, let us know and, and we'll try to get in touch with them and get them on as well.

00;27;32;07 - 00;27;56;18
Emily
You know, that's also a part of what I think makes our podcast different and special. And of course, it's very self-serving, is that we don't just focus on the cow side of things. We do occasionally switch our focus, to the human side. Right? Of course, my whole area of work now is, is farm safety and health, wellness, mental health.

00;27;56;20 - 00;28;19;07
Emily
You know, Brad has has shared about his journey with having Lyme disease. So I think that's an important thing that that we do here as well. And I think that that's also kind of that extension touch is, is. Yes. You know, we're focused on production, cattle production, dairy production in particular. But but we also think about the, the people side of that.

00;28;19;07 - 00;28;38;04
Emily
Right. The people behind the production too. And, and I think it's, it's nice that we do that. And, and again, it's a little self-serving, you know, of course it is my area of work, that I bring into this, but it's, it's nice that we get to talk about that. And again, like, look at our most popular episode we've done.

00;28;38;04 - 00;28;56;25
Emily
It's not even about a cattle topic. It's about the human side of farming. You know, so so that says a lot, I think, to about our listeners and, and what we're interested in to. So I keep being like and that's pretty cool. That's pretty cool. I feel like I just keep saying the same thing. I'm a broken record today.

00;28;57;01 - 00;29;27;06
Emily
Fun to to just stop and pause and and take a quick glance back, you know, and look at what what we've done, what we've enjoyed and, and what we continue to enjoy about doing this. And I don't care if it sounds cheesy, but all of you listening are the reason we get to keep doing this. And I am so grateful to every single one of you for listening and and putting up with our our tomfoolery and our shenanigans and our extreme biases.

00;29;27;09 - 00;29;40;20
Emily
And having fun with us along the way. You know, again, you you are what make this possible. Like I again, that sounds cheesy or cliche, but it is the honest truth. You all of you listening are what make this possible.

00;29;40;22 - 00;29;47;22
Brad
Yeah, definitely. And like I said, we are. We're going to go for another 300.

00;29;47;25 - 00;29;52;08
Emily
And that the next five years. Let's go a decade from.

00;29;52;08 - 00;30;01;11
Brad
The next five years. So as long as you keep listening, we will keep pumping these out once a week. We haven't missed yet. And we're we're going to keep going.

00;30;01;14 - 00;30;27;18
Emily
Yes. And we are looking forward to having, more guests on potentially maybe soon we'll have some more regular guests, co-hosts even perhaps, that that join the team. We will just see what the future holds. You know, like Brad said, the next 300 episodes, the next five years, like. Yeah, sky's the limit, right? That's right. Brad and I got nothing else to do.

00;30;27;24 - 00;30;28;10
Emily
Yeah, right.

00;30;28;10 - 00;30;28;25
Brad
Exactly.

00;30;29;02 - 00;31;00;17
Emily
So we will wrap it there. You know, again, we we love to hear from you sharing your questions, comments, scathing rebuttals, episode ideas, random whims, anything else. You can always send those to the Moose Room at Umkc. Edu to Austin from at UMD Edu and you can find us on the web at extension you Amanda. And again we thank you all for listening.

00;31;00;20 - 00;31;22;15
Emily
Those of you that have been here since the beginning, thank you. Those of us that have joined us along the way. Thank you. Those of us that maybe this is your first episode you're listening to. Very cool. Thank you. So we hope that you'll continue, to stick with us for the next 305 hundred, 700, however many episodes.

00;31;22;18 - 00;31;26;22
Emily
Thank you all so much. Gosh, this is cool.

00;31;26;24 - 00;31;29;06
Brad
Bye bye.
