A folks is Alex with a quick personal note because this episode of the podcast releases on March 21st of 2022.

Fun fact about March 21st, that is my birthday.

I think I can share a personal thing like that, right?

March 21st is my birthday.

Anyway, I'm sharing that it's my birthday to share it, and also because I have a gift in mind.

I would love it if we had the financial foundation to pay guests of this show for their time,

and we are almost there, and I really mean we are almost there.

That's our next group goal on Patreon.

We're aiming for a collective level of support that would make guest pay possible.

I think that would be an absolutely wonderful thing to do.

Very, very, very few podcasts are able to do that.

And so it's always been a goal of mine.

It's always been a priority of mine.

And if you visit the Patreon for this show at sifpod.f.fod. Fun, if you visit that

Patreon, you will see that we are about 10 patrons away from getting there, you know, so like good

news the show has been growing, and we're getting close to that thing. So I would be overjoyed if we

can get there, especially if we get there on my birthday. I would love to receive the gift of, you know, have enough show with the financial foundation to do that good thing, to pay guests for their time, to pay them in more than exposure.

And that's the message. That's it. If you go to siftpod.fod.fun, you can join the Patreon, help make that thing possible, and get a bunch of other

benefits, too. I'm going to go eat some Bobca as a special treat, and I hope you enjoy the

treat of this episode. Tuna. Known for being fish. Famous for being food. Nobody thinks much

about them, so let's have some fun. Let's find out why

tuna are secretly incredibly fascinating. Hey there, folks, welcome to a whole new podcast episode.
