Hey folks, I'm here to do a little housekeeping for you. Let you know what the schedule is because we just are coming off of a really fun, amazing live show in LA.

Anyway, this is all to say that if you are a non patron, what you're going to be hearing today is the Q&A section of that live show. It was just about an hour in itself. And we wanted to get that out first, you know, because I think it was probably the most timely thing. You know, people had questions about the news and stuff like that. I think it'll be really good. I hope you enjoyed. I want to also say if you're a patron, we're going to go ahead and give

That does mean that in the future, there's going to be a few things that you've already heard because we're going to use some of the live show content for later Tuesday episodes.

There was so much carry and math. You were amazing. I can't wait till you all get to hear that. It was a lot of fun. Thanks to everyone who came. And I hope you enjoy this with that said for normies. Let's get on over to the Q&A and keep in mind. There's also still the patron thanks and the T3BE answer from last week. That'll be a big thank you.
