Hello. Hello. This is not a normal podcast. We are not going to be doing some fun stuff.

There's going to be no music sponsors or anything like that. We just wanted to get on here

and talk to you guys for a second about the last week and what has gone on. Whether or

not you've been aware of it with the podcast. So yeah, that's what we're doing today. Do you

want me to? Whatever you want. Basically, we fucked up so bad. We fucked up really, really

bad. As you guys know, the last couple podcasts, we were digging deeper into our no sleep.

And we have in the past done other podcasts from our no sleep. Which if you're unfamiliar

with that means we've been going on to read it going on to certain subreddits, mainly one

called no sleep. And we've been looking up stories that we thought would be fun to read

for the podcast and we're fun to read for the podcast. And we did multiple episodes

reading those stories and reacting. And we were sort of treating them as part of Reddit.

And they're not. These are people's pieces of intellectual creative property, which we

infringed upon by reading them and without permission without permission beforehand, which

we should have done. And it says clearly on the website that these stories are protected.

And if you do not have permission from the author beforehand, you will be DMCA struck

down by the hand of God, which we fairly did. Our podcasts containing these stories were

taken down because those are the author's rights. And I'm sorry, we did tweet this out.

And I saw a lot of reactions from people being like, right, it's a public forum. And you

know, I don't understand why. And you know, I don't understand this because you really

enjoyed them. Obviously, because they're wonderful stories. It's not a conversation. And it's

not open to interpretation. It is. It's very black and white.

And it is completely 100% our fault for reading stories on the podcast that are not ours.
