Folks, this is a special episode. I'm going to share a quick story with you. Another podcast,

not the one that I formally hosted, known as Mama's Boys, which was all about individuals that

were too close with their moms and really probably should move out of their house. It was another

podcast that I first heard this, Eric, that a bonus episode, many moons ago,

probably four or five years ago, if one was to label a podcast episode a bonus, it essentially

meant it was a throwaway, and they didn't want to label it as part of their main structure,

so they don't want to numerically label it.

And they put it as a bonus to try and differentiate it.

And so people think,

oh, bonus, that's something good. But in reality, it was their worst material. And I'm here today to say that we're following in that fine tradition. Yeah, I think the way I would do that is I would

just dove over any instance where I said it was episode with the number.

If it like, you decide after the fact.

Right, right.

This is episode six.

We're talking about volume.

And then like when you actually listen to it, because it went so bad, you're like, hey, this is episode bonus.

And we're talking about volume.

And, you know, no one would ever have any idea.

You know, funny thing that you brought up Mama's Boys, shoot. My mama got me this

lovely Advent calendar with the chocolate to eat for every day of Christmas. And just to show

and prove for all the haters that I don't have an eating disorder. Oh, by the way, it's also,

I'm in the future here in New Zealand, which is another benefit to being in this part of the world.
