No fun, no fun, good, you're Christmas, but that's a bit...

0:35.5

No fun, the Jen Kirkman podcast. I am your host, Jen Kirkman.

0:41.5

This is the 14th episode of season 10. I've been doing this podcast for 10 years.

0:48.0

If you want to go back and listen to archived episodes, you just go on and click that link in the show notes and that will take you there.

0:56.5

Now, this podcast is completely supported by Patreon subscribers. The ads you hear do not go into my pocket.

1:05.5

That just keeps me on this platform so that y'all can get it for free.

1:09.0

But I am on a mad tear to get 1500 subscribers by the end of the summer.

1:16.0

I used to have 1500 but people, they go away or their card doesn't work or whatever.

1:21.0

So I'd love to get up there so that this can be a viable second living for me. I will tell you that some of the worst men in comedy, the rapist, the sexual assaulters and the right wing psychos, they have over 30,000 subscribers. I have 1000.

1:33.0

So let's put our money where our mouths is and are $3 a month. That's the starting level. The next level up is $5.

1:40.5

For $5 a month, you get full ad free episodes plus bonuses.

1:45.0

This week I dropped two video bonuses, me walking around my neighborhood, just talking about what's on my mind, gave you a little tour of the new stuff in my apartment.

1:53.0

And then in a second video, I talked about a TV opportunity I have coming up that is unpaid and kind of ridiculous, but I let everyone weigh in on what they would do.

2:03.0

So there's always fun interaction on the Patreon. And again, for everyone out there who says,

2:09.0

oh, I love you so much. You're my favorite. You got to pay for my work. That is how people stay afloat when I was touring. So many people said, I can't come out to see you. I don't like to go out at night. And now everyone's like, I'd come see you.

2:22.0

If you only would play Portland, I said a played Portland every year for 15 years. Oh, I didn't know this is.

2:28.0

And then I now I don't tour. So you got to pay for people when you like them or you will miss out or they will go away. Because if you don't make a good living on what you do, you got to go do something else. And I want to keep this podcast going.

2:40.0

So I'm going to read comments from Patreon subscribers. This is from Blake. He says huge Jen fan here. I've been a fan since the first Netflix special, but a little late to the podcast joining Patreon was a no brainer because it was more time to listen to her.

2:55.0

Well, I commute to work, drive over a bridge or perhaps go to sleep. Most importantly, since I never got the chance to see Jen live, not by choice, but by limitations of youth. I'm freshly 21.

3:05.0

The Patreon allows me to see her never before seen materials such as stand up videos with her mother, the impression is accurate and the inside scoop on stories truly worth the $5.

3:17.0

Mono classes. I like that Jen reads and comments extensively on news stories that I don't have the time or bandwidth to read because she's funny. Also, I usually agree with her opinions and sometimes just need to hear someone else who is not me talking to myself calling out some of the misogyny in this world.
