[Inaudible] we’re trying to give it to them.
Josh Clark
If you watch the Colbert Report, scoff while you watch it thinking of Chuck and I and the Stuff You Should Know Army.
Chuck Bryant
People are responding in a big way, and it’s going great, and hopefully the Colbert Report will take notice because that will make even more money for kiva and it might get us on his show.
Josh Clark
Chuck is just chomping at the bit to get on his show so if you wanna join the Stuff You Should Know kiva team -
Chuck Bryant
Please do.
Josh Clark
- please do. You can go to www.kiva.org/team/stuffyoushouldknow. And that will take you right there, plus, there’s a pretty picture of Chuck on there.
Chuck Bryant
Yeah, me and Emily, actually. It’s a picture of – we have – you know, she’s on my team.

Josh Clark
Yeah.
Chuck Bryant

Josh Clark
Yeah.
Chuck Bryant

Josh Clark
Good looking couple. Is that the one that’s your screensaver on your iPhone, too?
Chuck Bryant
Yeah. It’s – it’s one of the best pictures I have of us.
Josh Clark
It’s very nice.
Chuck Bryant
Thank you.
Josh Clark
And how about the blogs real quick?
Chuck Bryant
Yeah. We both run a blog, and I’m gonna – I’ve been a little lazy with it lately. I’m gonna get back off the schnide. You can access the blog on the blogs page, which you can find on the right side of the howstuffworks.com homepage.
