Hey, it's Jay Keith.

And it's Helen.

And we are squarely right in the middle of the Max Fun Drive.

You probably know that the Max Fun Drive is the one time of the year when we come to you, our beloved listeners,

to say thanks, offer special gifts you can't get anywhere else, and, well, you know, to ask you for money.

Yeah, please, please give us some money.

But we want to use this mini episode to give you a really fun little audio treat that's coming up later on,

and also to tell you about one of the

exclusive benefits that you can get when you support us this year in the Max Fund Drive.

Now, of course, your support, your money, is the only reason why we can keep making GoFactor

Self.

And so we ask you to join, boost, or upgrade your membership at maximum fund.org slash join for as little as five bucks a month.

What you get in return is amazing.

Hundreds of hours of bonus content from all the shows here on Max Fun.

Plus some stuff you can only get if you support GoFact yourself.

So when you go to MaximumFund.org slash join, make sure to select GoFact yourself as a show you go to maximum fund.org slash join, make sure to select go fact yourself

as a show you listen to. Okay, we are now ready to announce a brand new incentive and gift,

and here it is. MaxFund now has the option for you to prepay your membership for the whole year.

So instead of charging your credit card a little bit each month, you pay one lump

sum up front. Now, doing this is a huge help for us because it lets us know much more reliably

how much we're going to have in our budget to help make the show better. What's in it for you?

Well, we're offering an exclusive reward available only to those who prepay their 2025 membership.
