Believe in the ripple effect.

The ripple effect. What? What's up, everybody, another episode, Ripple Effect podcast.

1:00.7

Just want to thank everybody who's been listening, everybody who's been retweeting, sharing, writing me, telling me that they enjoy the show.

1:07.2

Anybody who's rated our stuff on iTunes, I really appreciate that, too.

1:10.6

Nobody knows what

1:11.2

what the fuck does but apparently it helps with just I guess the more ratings and comments you have

1:16.4

the more likely people are going to run into it so I really appreciate that and uh and just thanks

1:21.9

because I my numbers are big have been consistently growing with downloads and and and uh and plays watches and all that stuff so uh i just really appreciate everybody who's who's you know taking time out of their day to listen these conversations i put out and uh and i hope to keep bringing interesting people i have a bunch of interesting people that i hope are coming up uh within another uh couple weeks weeks and just going to keep popping them out

1:46.3

and every once in a while just get a guest who gets back to me and says, hey, I'll be free

1:51.9

next week. So then a show just comes out of nowhere. So it's hard to kind of tell you who's the next

1:56.3

guest because of the fact that it's kind of so random when people write me back and when they're available.

2:02.0

So if you like our Facebook page, if you follow us on Twitter, it's the easiest way to kind of keep up with everything.

2:08.8

And also another way of supporting us is my Theory 6 music project.

2:12.2

You get a song and you support the show.

2:13.9

So it's a win-to-win situation for everybody.

2:16.4

And I do some music that

2:18.3

it's more trans ebm electronica type music and then I have some more metal music so if you like

2:25.6

either or if you like both check them out right now I have two heavy songs called Eritrea

2:30.3

and obsession for fulfillment that are out that you can get anywhere and then same thing with the theme song to the podcast called The Ripple Effect. You can find that anywhere. Also, when I say anywhere, I mean Amazon, iTunes, Shazam, anywhere where you can find music, Google Play. And also at the end of this podcast, the reason why I'm doing this intro is to let everybody know that the song is going to be War for peace. I think that's what the final title I'm going to probably put on it. But either way,

2:54.7

it's going to be my next release. And I'm going to put it at the end of this show. It's 99.9%

3:01.0

done. You're going to hear basically pretty close, if not the final version at the end of this podcast.

3:06.7

And if you like the song, then, you know, follow us on Twitter and Facebook. And once it's out, you'll be able to, you'll know and you'll be able to download it and get it and also support us. And luckily, all my songs are pretty long. So you get for 99 cents, you get the most for your money. You get like a five or six minute song. So definitely do that. And like I said, it's an easy way to support the show. We both win. You get a song. I get a, you know, I get $0.9.00, which isn't a lot. But if, well, actually, it's even less after tune core gets their cut. But I think it ends up being like 70 cents but either way it's it it's a little bit
