Hey guys, before we get into today's episode, Jeff and I have a very special announcement,

which is, we have started a Patreon for the Carscast. Believe it or not, we're not making any

money from it. We're actively losing money on renting movies and folding chairs. Going to theaters,

also lots of sorbets. Really? I didn't know that. Anyways, it's something we've been thinking about for a while. We want to be able to take this a bit more seriously. We want to up the production value. We just want to make the podcast a bit better. And with a little bit more support, we can definitely make that happen. We've also been told by a few people that they would actively like to support us in some way,

shape, or form, and this is a great way to do so, to be honest.

It was my mom. That's who told us that.

This isn't just a one-sided thing. We have some fun tiers.

Yeah, so the first tier is you get access to two patron-only Q&A episodes a month.

Yes.

So we'll be pulling more of the questions that people ask from the questions thread

and other sources and answering them into normal-length podcasts that are all Q&As every month.

Super fun.

Now, it's very fun.

Now, the other tier, that's the a little bit higher of a tier, we're capping it at 20, just in case somehow that gets filled up. I don't think it will, but, you know, you never know. Just in case. Just in case. But if you are in that tier, you get one Q&A question that is guaranteed to be answered by us on one of the two monthly Q&A podcast.

You're going to get that question answered.

And also, to be clear, you also get access to the episode.

We would also like to emphasize, feel free to reach out to us in regards to these tiers.

Maybe you like these. Maybe you want to add something.

If you guys have any suggestions, we are all ears to whatever you guys want.

This is supposed to make things as interactive as possible.

I would like to also emphasize that you by no means have to support us.

This is not changing anything.
