Action Park Media.

All right.

How you doing?

I'm Doug Ellen.

Back.

First week of the podcast did well.

We're close to 10,000 downloads,

which is a good number for just listening to one

unemployed guy tell you what's going on in his life. So I'm here at Action Park Media.

Just had a little face-to-face with Hall of Famer Kevin Connolly. And, you know, it's interesting

after this week, which he doesn't even know about it,

by the way, just so we're clear. He does not listen to Doug Ellen podcast. That is not something

that he would be interested in. But I said last week on the podcast that I think if we got

2,500 paying subscribers on this Patreon thing, that we could get this victory podcast back,

which to me, it's just, it's a shame to not have it on.

But I get all these messages.

And I know that the people that send messages and nasty messages on DMs or post shit

are the bottom of the barrel of human society.

But the amount of nastiness that I got, you rich fox want to take money from the fans

and this and that. Okay, let me say two things. I did the podcast for free for years and enjoyed it

and grinded away and built this stupid Instagram page that has no purpose now. So money was never

a thing for me. And by the way, they didn't say they wanted money. I just thought maybe that was a way to get it back.
