Hi everyone, this is Patrick, but you already knew that. Today we are releasing another special

interview episode with just myself and the guest, but before we get into that, I wanted to

point out something new on our website to you that you should go check out soon. If you go to

the crunchcast.com and go to the drop-down menu, you will find a page that's called

affiliate links and books. And on there, you will find two things. You will find a list of

companies that we either partner with or we're friends with that have given us discount

codes for our audience to use. And usually that'll be discounts on merchandise. That'll be

an extended free trial

of the service, et cetera. Some great Catholic companies on there, like Catholic Beard Bomb,

the Catholic card game, the Hallow Prayer app, and we have one more that's coming up soon.

You'll also find a list that me and Ethan like to call the crunch required reading. Now, these are books

that if you're going to listen to us, you have to read them. I'm sorry, it's required. I can't get

around it. I don't make the rules. I just enforce them with prejudice. So these are a list of all

of the books that we have talked about on the podcast over the years, books that we love and we've read and read over and

over again with categories like theology and spirituality, with true devotion to Mary and

introduction to the about life. We've got books about church history. We've got fiction books like

Dune and Father Elijah and then technology and media books like Deep Work or amusing ourselves to death.

All of these books, you should check out.

And if you go to our website and click the links that those books are attached to, you won't get a

discount.

But if you buy them after you click that link, we will get a percentage.

So that's a great way to, you know, get a really awesome book and support the podcast at the same time, no extra cost to you.
