This is a headgum podcast.

All the freaks in the world are going to listen to me as I have a question for you before we start the show.

So we have ads on this podcast. I know.

But could you please spare a minute or two to help all of us at Rood Tales make them not suck?

We're conducting an audience survey at gum.fm slash Rood Tales, and we want to hear from you.

We actually take pride in turning down a lot of ad opportunities for stuff we know you don't want to hear about.

Room temperature raw meat meal kits, gold for bones, trading markets,

sports betting. And we'd like to improve the ad experience even more, but in order to do this,

we need to know a little bit more about you, our audience. The survey is a quick, easy, and

free way to support this podcast. It'll take you two minutes, and you'll be helping us out so much by doing it.

Go to gum.fm-f-m-slash-R-T-A-R-N-E-T-A-L-E-S.

And now the show.

Hey there, folks.

It's Joe down here at the Rood Tales H-Q, wishing all of you a happy new year.

It's that coziest of winter times.

Look, there's Chris and Allie making all of us hot cocoa.

And over by the hearth, there's Tim,

trying to teach the fire a moral.

And why, over there is Carly, sharpening knives.

Anyways, we just wanted to take a moment from winter's slumber, and thank you all for listening

to our little podcast.

And if you haven't yet, tell you to go check out our Patreon.
