Hey, unfuckers, just a quick little banter before we begin the show formally.

A few changes coming up this year.

The first is that we are going to be weekly again with the podcast,

but the podcast is going to be a little different.

We're still going to give you a juicy, full unfucking at some point every single month.

But given the schedule that we've been keeping lately, the amount of content

we've been pumping out and the general... The world works. Terribleness of the world, things have been

a little taxing on us to try and stay on a schedule. So we talked a lot over the holidays and came

down to the idea that we need to do a proper podcast every

week. We're going to put some structure to it and we're going to have show notes as a part of it

like we did in the very, very beginning and a few other little flares and features there.

And then every once in a while, we'll let Manny loose with the full auditory experience that you've become accustomed to over

the years. But we really wanted to make sure that we were honoring the podcast audience. You're the

unfuckers that have been there with us since the beginning. We want to talk to you more often,

and we want to get the feedback more often. So we have carved out time to record this every single week, and you'll be hearing from us weekly, and we're excited about it. We're also going to be putting out our same, you know, rips from YouTube like we have been. So it's almost like those are bonus content now. They're not going to service the weekly episode. Yeah. But you, if you're not a YouTube person and you prefer to listen, those are going to be in your feed too.

Now, I will say that we're not going to spend a lot of time editing those for the podcast.

For the podcast, because they're already edited for video. So there will be times when I'm making, and we'll put a disclaimer at the beginning of these episodes that, hey, this comes from YouTube. There are references that are strictly, that are strictly visual references that are there. But so, for example, if I'm talking about a chart and I say, and look at this line here, that's the kind of stuff that's going to be a little bit clunky. But, you know, you get the general tenor of the information that's there. And we're putting out so much more and faster on YouTube that it's just, it's getting lost

to the shuffle. So we want it to be here as well. And also like you, like always, there will be a link to the essay version and that will have the charts in it. So you could always look on your phone while you're listening. Another big change that we have coming up this year. Within the next, I don't know, a week or two, we're going to lock down the Discord to members only.

Now, if you listen to the next, I don't know, week or two, we're going to lock down the Discord to members only.

Now, if you listen to the show and you are in the Discord.

Or if you join it before we lock it down.

And join it and or join us before we lock it down to members only.
