0:00.0	Hey folks, this is episode number 48 of Secretly Incredibly Fascinating.
0:06.0	Four, eight. And I have great news to share. Great news right now. We are extremely close on the next
0:13.7	membership drive goal. Less than $50 of support away. Also, when this episode aired and hit the feed, maybe that got us there.
0:22.3	You know, I'm in the past talking, so you know. You can find out. That next goal that we are so
0:27.3	very close to is digital art for every patron. The art is from top-notch illustrator Adam Coford.
0:34.1	It celebrates all 50 episodes of this podcast. It's going to be detailed. It's going to be fun. It's going to be a feast for your eyes. And every patron gets it if we hit that goal. I'm optimistic about us hitting that goal. Like the support in the past few weeks has blown me away. Really has. And if enough listeners come through, by which I mean if you come through and a couple other people do, you will join a tiny and wonderful group.
0:59.8	A few weeks ago, I shared that less than 10% of listeners back this show. And when I say less than 10%, I mean a lot less than 10%. It's a very small group.
1:10.1	So if we suddenly had 10% of listeners supporting
1:13.5	the show, this membership drive would super extra work out. We would knock out every goal and
1:18.9	then some. I designed it to be achievable. And it totally is. Will we do that? I have no idea.
1:25.0	Again, I'm in the past. I know very little about anything. Either way,
1:29.1	we are so, so, so close to that digital art for episode 50. We are so close to turning that
1:34.7	big milestone episode into a party. I hope we get there. And in the meantime, please enjoy
1:40.2	episode 48.
1:43.5	Eyeglasses.
1:46.1	Known for seeing.
1:48.7	Famous for reading.
1:51.7	Nobody thinks much about them, unless they're buying them.
1:53.1	So let's have some fun.
1:59.9	Let's find out why eyeglasses are secretly incredibly fascinating.
2:26.3	Hey there, folks. Welcome to a whole new podcast episode, a podcast all about why being alive is more interesting than people think it is.
2:35.0	My name is Alex Schmidt, and I'm not alone. My guest today is Matt Goreley. I hope you know that name, Matt Goreley.
