Hey everyone. Welcome to Talk Nurdy.

I'm your host, Kara, Santa Maria,

and I want to take a quick moment

to thank everybody out there in the podcast listener verse I have no idea what to call it I want to

thank all of you who tune in week after week who listen who rate review on iTunes and Stitcher,

who donate to the podcast by going to

Kares Santa Maria.com.

And oh yeah, shout out to those of you who donated this week.

I want to thank Greg Rogers for his

continuing donation. I want to thank Atomic Insights from Forest, Virginia, for an incredibly, incredibly generous donation.

I want to thank, let's see, Brian Crush from Manahawk in New Jersey. I also want to thank

Kenneth Nielsen from Elmont, New York, and Rick Richardson from Elma Washington. Thank you guys for your continued support.

I also wanted to remind you that if you do want to support the podcast, there are a lot of ways to do it. One way is to visit my website and

go to the store where I have a lot of cool merchandise for sale, t-shirts, slap

bracelets and some really cool new stuff. I've got a beautiful mug

that's made by an artist named HP Bloomer, handmade, and it's absolutely gorgeous. It says Talk Nurdy on it and I also have two new

pieces from an amazing artist Foster Leathercraft and he made some beautiful bookmarks that say Talk Nurdy and also some beautiful key chains with the talk nerdy logo.

If you pick one up, you will be supporting the podcast at the same time.

And I thank you so much for even considering it.

All right, guys, thanks for being patient.

We are going to go ahead and start this week's episode. I am very excited to announce that this

week I sit down with stand-up comedian, producer, creator of the Death Squad Podcast Network, and occasional co-host of the Joe Rogan experience,
