All right, this is another Q&A episode. How many of one have we done now? I think this is our third or fourth one. No, I think it's like the fifth Q&A we've done.

Oh, is it? Oh, wow. I think we seem to be all about every 15 episodes or something like that. Okay, cool. Yeah, we're, we've definitely got a few on the list here. So we used to check away to a few more of them. Yeah, and so again, we always preference our Patreon folks

of you guys

are going to dig deep and pull out that five bucks. You get your question answer quicker.

Yeah, yeah, folks. And also if you do, if you are a Patreon subscriber and you have a question,

if you could, when you send the email and if you could put that on the message somewhere so that I know right

away to put you to the top of the list because we do have one of our perks over on Patreon

that moves your question to the top of the list. So we do get quite a few questions sent in and

we only have so much time at the moment to do the Q&A episode so sometimes the list does pile

up. But if you're a Patreon supporter, we would like to kind of prioritize your questions um so yeah if you can just put

the note there yeah we may you know like I said if we if we're trying to I think our goal right now is

trying to pop out three of these a week so we may be able to get a few more Q&As done and middle

down this list a little quicker hopefully um the other thing is, you know, we should talk about sponsors. You know, we've got a number of people that have kind of requested about sponsors. So we've got a sponsor packet. You know, if you guys are interested to send us an email on that. You might, if you just want to sponsor one show, we can do that, or most of them are doing a quarter at a time.

So let's get into the first question, Zach, and this is going to be for you. I'll read it for you. This is from Alan Williamson, who is a Patreon patron. Thank you very much for that, Alan. He's out of Burnsville, Minnesota, and he's going to ask about something about running and stuff. So he says, don't know if you all might be able to shine some light on this or not,

but I had a rather interesting thing happened to me.

I donated blood on Wednesday in early December.
