Hello, everyone. I'm Stephen West. This is philosophize this.

Thank you to the over 1000 people now that support the show on Patreon,

making it possible for all the rest of us.

And when it comes to Amazon this week, funny story actually, I ordered something off Amazon,

click through the banner.

And this guy in this nondescript white van got out of his car, he had a package.

I assumed it was him and he came up to my door and I, you know, I opened the door to say hi.

This would be nice. And he said, wait a second.

I know you. You're that guy that hosts that show that Amazon and their affiliate companies

in no way endorse whatsoever.

But they still allow you to have that banner on the front of your website,

because you have some sort of weird fetish where you like to drive traffic to Amazon,

even though it doesn't actually support you, you're that guy.

And of course, at that point, I had to come clean, you know, it seems my reputation has

preceded me here. How are you, my good man?

Man, I mean, it's so great to see that, I mean, all throughout Amazon,

even under the warehouse level, words getting out of just how much they don't in any way

endorse what goes on in the show.

Front page of the website, people, today's episode is part three on Simone de

Beauvoir. I hope you love the show today.

So even if you're binge listening to this and you just got done listening to last episode,

in the interest of painting a clear picture here, I think it's important to do a quick recap
