Welcome to both the first episode of 2023 and the first solo show of

2023. I've already forgotten my father's birthday, how's your year going?

And you remember that this morning because I've done that before, right?

It's the morning of the sixth here for me, but because it's like the evening of the fifth for everyone else most people right and his

birthday is the fifth so in my head this is still the fifth and that's what I'm going to tell him

because it's seven a.m. that's what I'm going to tell him when I ring him up after this show and say it's it's still your birthday in in podcast land. All right. But if you I did a live stream just before Christmas for people who haven't caught it, there's going to be a couple of changes as to how we do the show for 2023.

And one of them is going to be fortnightly live stream solo shows.

I want to get back to the very beginning of the podcast.

I have this thing called Podcast Thursday, right?

And that was where the show came out every Thursday, right?

It's kind of the clue is in the name, right?

And I want to get back to that.

Now, obviously, I'm thinking about your Thursday and my Friday.

But that's the general idea, right? So we're going to do one week on, not one week on one week off, but like one week guests, one week solo show because it allows it to be a bit more reactive and live, right?

Because obviously the way I'm configuring the solar shows,

if you're listening to this and most people are listening to it

rather than watching it on YouTube,

it's going to be live streamed at this time every second Thursday but like

the episodes will come out basically around now one way or the other but it's the

the solo shows will always be audio forward if that makes sense so you're not going to miss anything I'll make sure with the solo shows you're not missing anything by not doing the video like that we will have in a moment or two some slides from a it's called

tone it's this AI generator AI generating like AI

I want to say this?
