Ferris wheels known for being tall, famous for being slow. Nobody thinks much about them,

so let's have some fun. Let's find out why Ferris wheels are secretly incredibly fascinating. Hey there, folks. Welcome to a whole new podcast episode, a podcast all about why being alive is more interesting than people think it is.

My name is Alex Schmidt and I'm not alone. I'm joined by my co-host, Katie Golden. Katie, hello, hello.

Wheels, wheels, wheels, wheels, we're doing it. We have been chanting wheels.

Big wheels. Yes. Over email and verbally in the entire run-up to this exact moment. It's great.

Yes.

I am very excited for big wheels, not little wheels, not tiny wheels, not medium-sized

wheels, big wheels.

And speaking of big things, perfect segue as always.

Today this comes out March 13th in one week as the start

of the Maximum Fun Drive, which is a very fun membership drive for Maximum Fun. It's the first

one we've done as part of that network. If you're a longtime supporter of the show, you might remember

past membership drives. I did other ways. This is sort of like that. And the main fun thing for you right up front is that the next several weeks,

we're going to have a bunch of extra guests joining me and Katie on the shows.

I'm very excited about it.

And you know what?

You can't drive without wheels.

It all fits together.

That's right.

That's right. That's right.

We're going to drive into the drive with giant rideable wheels.

It's like a car with four Ferris wheels for the wheels.
