Hey everybody, you may have noticed an episode is going out today and it's not a normal task week.

That is because it is the first week of Max Fund Drive 2020.

So I wanted to put out something extra special for you.

This is not like a normal episode. This is kind of a special.

So you'll notice there's not a lot of gameplay in here. In fact, almost none.

And I just wanted to give you a little bit something extra to celebrate Max Fund Drive.

and check out all the bonus content and other rewards and everything else,

you can go to maximumfund.org slash join and now enjoy the episode.
