Hey, everyone, it's Jay Keith.

And it's Helen.

And it's the Max Fun Drive.

Poo, pew, pew, pew, boo.

Sorry, Helen, I was claxoning, but please, go ahead.

I was jumping onto your claxoning.

We were co-claxing.

Co-claxing.

This is the time of year where we celebrate MaxFund members and remind you this show exists

because folks like you support it at $5 a month or more.

You can find out more and join at maximum fun.org slash join.

We have got so many new and cool things we're offering to our supporters this year,

including one-of-a-kind autographed items and the most opportunities ever for you to be

involved with the show.

Speaking of which, this is a special Max Fun Drive episode that features two of our listeners who supported us in last year's Max Fund Drive and who chose to participate in our listener tournament.

The tournament featured more listeners than ever, and these are the two who made it to the finals.

We'll talk more about the tournament and how you can be in it later in the episode.

In the meantime, we do want to let you know about some live audience recordings coming up.

We've got one Saturday, March 23rd at the Crawford in Pasadena with our friends at LAist,

featuring guest Andy Richter and Tanya Mosley and another the following Saturday, March 30th,

at the Center for Inquiry West in Los Angeles with Adam Felber and Jow Ying Summers.

Come join us. Go to go to gofactorpod.com for info and tickets.
