My name is Gary Barfield. My name is Cole Ross and this is the

Probably not first annual first like bi-annual fort annual however many duckbeat TV State of the Union address.

Yes.

Yeah. Before you get worried the State of the Union is strong, we are just outlining and clarifying some things related to just various

questions we've gotten about the way we kind of run things, vis-à- the feedback and also our Patreon. Yes, yeah, so the bit the if this is all good

fun stuff for the most part the Patreon thing we want to make sure this gets off on all

channels though

not everybody listens to every show so we want to make sure everybody who listens the

network gets this and not everybody checks our Facebook or checks us on

social media so we thought an audio format you, if you just have a subscription to iTunes

we want to make sure you heard this information. It's not taking the place of any other show or

anything. It's just, you know, and it's also, if you have read this online or something like that

I bet you can probably safely skip it not gonna hurt our feelings yeah so yeah

let's get into it yeah so let's see here do we we want to talk about the feedback thing first?

Yes, yeah, let's get the bummer out of the way. Yes.

People, especially people listen to Bonfireside chat probably know that we've kind of grossed about people being shitheads online, you know, just kind of

drive-by comments and, you know, saying mean things about us for no good reason, things like that that

we've complained a lot about. We've been trying to get better about rushing that off but we're sensitive

boys but is now a policy do not respond or interact with any of that so just no if you're

if you're somehow listening to this and that you haven't been, you're in that weird, weird spot that people get in where they still like the shows enough to listen, but don't like us enough to respect us as people.

Yeah.

If you're in that spot, we're just, you know, everything's going to be deleted.
