Did you know choosing the train can take up to 500 cars off the road? Just one train at a time.

One gig at a time, one last minute plan, one festival, one going then, why not at a time?

One train journey at a time can help create a greener future.

So when will you take your next trip? Find out more at nationalrail.co.uk for what's last greener?

I wonder, I wonder, I wonder, what will it take for you to start opening your eyes?

It's Sunday. It's Father's Day. We're here. Happy Father's Day to anybody who happens to be a father.

I'm a mother. At least I've been called that on occasion. Not actually a father.

A couple quick announcements. First of all, thank you to everybody who's already joined and contributed at the Patreon project that was set up for the Atheus experience.

As we talked about, I know there's a promo video up there. There's going to be more videos, including information on how to set up your donations and cap it and stuff like that.

It's pretty easy and straightforward, but thank you to everybody who's already contributed for those who can't. They'll probably put it up right there. Patreon.com slash the Atheus experience.

We've been doing this show for 20 years, more than 20 years. I haven't been. I've only been here for what?

We're in our 22nd year.

22nd year. I've done it for 14. But hey, we've got a building, we've got lights, cameras, production costs, internet costs, and all that stuff.

The Patreon goes to not only help us continue to do another 20 years or more, but also from that you can get ad-free versions of the show along with Patreon-only videos and other content like that.

We greatly appreciate everybody's efforts there. Things are going well, I'm told. That's good.

Next week is the 1000th episode of the Atheus experience, and it's going to be a special one because my very good friend, Seth Andrews, is going to drive down from Oklahoma, hang out with me on Saturday night.

Sorry, you can't all hang out with this, but one of the things we're going to be doing on Saturday night is talking about a potential joint tour between the two of us.

There may be opportunities for you to hang out with me and Seth at some point. Then we'll do the 1000th episode here at the studio, June 24th next Sunday.

That should be exciting because Seth never been on the show.

I find that almost hard to believe, actually, that we've been friends for this long and he hasn't.

What's wrong with you, Seth? What has taken you so long to come around and do this episode?

The last one, it's a personal one for me. I know even, I think, has recently, is last week I mentioned that I would have dates for the upcoming UK Europe tour that was supposed to be next month, July.
