Welcome, this is an awesome podcast to the Jeff, there's a lot of whiskey, Jeff Macolino.

Jeff Macolino Macolino podcast, hey everybody, and I hope you had a great

thanksgiving. I think this is actually the second episode since then. I don't know. I don't have a

calendar in front of me, and any who, I'm actually recording this at 6 a.m. on a Saturday,

and this is a sober 6 a.m. by the way, but this is because I go into a brunch to have some

bottomless bromoses and watch the US national team play in the World Cup. So any, not a big soccer

fan, but any excuse to get drunk at 10 in the morning, I'm all in. So USA, USA, huh?

Hey, so Spotify wrapped, which if you listen on Spotify, you'll understand what I'm talking about

every year, you know, right around December 1st, they give you the, you know, this is who you

listen to blah, blah, blah. They also do that for people who have podcasts. So I got mine,

and I usually don't throw out numbers, but I had to give a thank you to the listeners. So I got

one of the things they measure is how many people your podcast is number one for, and how many people

you're in their top five, how many people you're in their top 10. Spotify is only 36% of my traffic.

I get more from Apple, and then obviously there's there's Google podcasts, there's

Amazon, there's a gazillion other places you can listen to podcasts.

Obviously, Spotify and Apple are the main ones, but I get 36% from Spotify.

And, but it said the Jeff McElino podcast is the top podcast for 261 fans, which

seems like a lot. I know it probably doesn't seem like a lot to the listener, but to be the top podcast.

I don't know. I was honored by that. Another 663. I'm in their top five and 750. I'm in the top 10.

I kind of want, you know, if I'm in your top five, I think screenshot and send it to me, and maybe

I'll, I'm coming out with merch. It's probably going to be January, February of 2023, but maybe I'll

pick one or two or three people and send you a free item if I was in your top five podcasts in
