I'll keep this short. We have a Patreon. And lately the amount on that Patreon has gone down.

While income from live shows and merch do obviously help, the Patreon is still the main way that

we make this show and pay all the people involved, both behind the scenes and, you know, in front of

0:17.1

the scenes. Is that the phrase? So if you are able to and have not yet supported us on Patreon,

0:22.8

please consider it. It helps the show exist. And we have all sorts of cool rewards, like

2:03.8

We project our own decline upon the world, and complain that everything was brighter and

2:09.7

better at the time that we coincidentally were at our physical and mental peak. But I digress.

2:16.9

Because everything was better during the great golden hand. That's just objective.

2:23.2

We will update you on the hand as it approaches. But in the meantime, make sure that you were stocked

2:31.5

up on a supply of clean water, adequate canned goods for 5 to 8 years, and copious amounts of human
