Yeah, what's up, everybody. This is Toby. Welcome to the podcast. If you're a new listener,

welcome, welcome, welcome. I'm going to give a big shout out to my day ones for the past six years.

My subscribers, my listeners, I appreciate people who talk about this podcast, who share this podcast,

who support this podcast, who write reviews for this podcast. Really, really appreciate all your support. I've been doing this for six years. I've been giving away for free.

So many people ask me why I don't film it?

Why don't monetize on YouTube?

Why don't I charge people for it on Patreon?

And their answer is, because I don't want to.

I love these conversations in my kitchen.

I love the honesty.

I love that people want to come back for two or three episodes,

the recurring guests that I have all the time. I love it. No

lights, no cameras. I myself do not like going on podcasts. They're being filmed and have lights.

I've done a couple times. I'll probably never do it again. I don't feel like myself in those

situations. So I want all my guests to be as comfortable as possible. I do have sponsors.

The sponsors keep my shit going. They keep it alive. But I will never

interrupt a conversation with an ad in the middle of it. People would do that all the time. And I will

never interrupt the flow of a conversation. So don't worry about that. But I do have amazing sponsors

who are aligned myself with the products that I use on a daily basis. I've turned down so much money

for sponsors. He doesn't want to be part of this podcast with companies I've never tried or on a daily basis. I've turned down so much money for sponsors.

He doesn't want to be part of this podcast with companies I've never tried or didn't

line with.
