Diebeck. Just want to remind everyone of our Patreon. We have a Patreon set up to support

Some episodes with us. You can get to know us a little bit. There's a Q&A that we do

0:33.7

sometimes on our Patreon as well. You can check that out. Anyway, today is a very interesting

0:40.2

episode, something that I'm looking forward to. We are talking to someone who has Tourette's

0:49.2

2:14.7
