Hi, everyone. A couple of quick things before we get to this week's episode. First, a reminder that our first in-person show recording with an actual live audience in over two years, what? It is happening on Saturday, June 18th, and we want you to be there. We're making this special episode with our friends at Public Radio Station, KPCC, at their

beautiful facility in Pasadena, California.

Our scheduled guests for the show are Larry Wilmore and Denise Crosby.

You can register for free tickets now at KPCC.org slash go fact yourself live.

Next, we have opened registration for our first ever listener tournament, where two listeners

will win the chance to be guests on a special mini episode of GoFact Yourself recorded over

Zoom.

Now, this is a special perk available only to people who were new, upgrading, or boosting

members of our show during this year's

Max Fund Drive. If this is you, thank you. And look for an email with details on how to opt

into the tournament at the email address where you registered at Maximum Fun. Now, if you haven't

gotten that email and you do want to play, make sure to contact April at maximumfund.org to get

yourself cleared away. You have until June 15th to opt in to

play, and over 100 people have already registered. What a tournament this is going to be.

And finally, Jay Keith's audio in this episode isn't as good as it should be. Why is that, Jay Keith?

Okay, well, I made two recordings on this date.

I recorded one, a little test to make sure everything was sounding good, and then I made

another recording of my side of the actual show, and guess which one I sent to Julian our editor

and deleted the other one? That's right, I sent him the test and accidentally deleted the good one.

But fortunately, we had an audio backup, so that's what you'll be hearing today.

My apologies to everyone, I think you'll still enjoy the show.

Speaking of which, that's it.
