0:00.0	Hey, it's Thomas Frank, and I've just got a quick note for you before we get into the show.
0:03.5	If you've been enjoying the inforium or my videos over on YouTube, then you, my friend,
0:07.9	should get Nebula. On Nebula, you get ad-free versions about this podcast and my videos,
0:12.8	along with exclusive stuff, like extended versions of those videos. And it's not just our
0:17.2	stuff that you're going to get. Dozens of other creators are on Nebula, including Alieb Doll,
0:20.8	Windover Productions, Braincraft, Tearsoo, and lots more. Nebula gives us a chance to
0:25.3	experiment, and since everything's ad-free, it's also the best way for you to get our content.
0:55.3	Do you count creeks? That's creekside. You just asked, do you count bears as dogs?
1:07.6	Other bears. Look, I was grasping its straws so I could prove you wrong, but in fact,
1:13.7	you are not wrong because I know for a fact that you live quite close to a river, and there are
1:19.2	several rivers in the Minneapolis, St. Paul area. And there's like two in the Denver area,
1:24.9	and they're not very big. We don't even know if you would call them rivers. You kind of do.
1:28.6	We don't have a whole lot of water. No. In fact, it's actually quite selfish of you to be
1:33.6	hoarding all that water. Could you please send some over to Colorado? Please, thank you.
1:38.8	We'll do. Ampholopes. One at a time. Anyway, hello, and welcome back to the Inforium. If you are a
1:46.5	long-time listener who skipped the last episode, I do want to give you all a quick reminder that
1:50.8	this is our second to last episode. We're going to be wrapping up the podcast after this one,
1:54.6	but fear not, because as we will discuss in this episode, our conscious decision to end this
2:01.3	podcast after literally eight years of running it is in part enabling us to do other things,
2:07.5	such as getting back to a true weekly schedule over on the Thomas Frank YouTube channel.
2:12.7	And as somebody who has now entered the 30s decade of life, I'm excited to be exploring
2:19.6	different topical areas on that channel. I've got my investing video coming up very soon,
