**Erik St. Martin:** Awesome.
**Carlisia Thompson:** Dmitri, just please add a link to that.

So with that, we're probably about out of time, so we're gonna wrap the official show up, and then as always, we might hang out and take some questions from the live listeners. So if you happen to be around at 3 PM on Thur...
With that, thanks everybody for being on the show. Huge thank you to Dmitri for coming on and baring with us through all of the delays and rescheduling and reworking the way we record episodes temporarily...
**Dmitri Shuralyov:** Hey, I'm really glad to be here. Thanks for having me!
**Brian Ketelsen:** Thanks so much for coming, Dmitri.
