0:00.0	Hey everyone, I'm Travis Van Graf. And I'm K.A. Stats. And together we are Fool and Scholar Productions.
0:04.9	And we have been Fool and Scholar Productions now for 10 years. Wow. That's a lot of time.
0:12.7	A decade of podcasting. I kind of feel old. We are old. We just started TikToking too,
0:20.3	so it's like we're extra old.
0:22.3	We feel older now than we did before, and that's how old works.
0:26.9	No.
0:28.1	But yeah, I thought it'd be cool to reminisce for a few minutes about what 10 years of podcasting looks like, what's changed, what's new, and kind of like what our future is looking like.

1:28.9	And one day I kind of just wrote a script and I showed it to Travis and I was like,
1:32.3	we're going to make this one next. And he's like, I didn't know that what's the next. All right.
1:38.0	It was really cool. And that made us effectively able to become full-time podcasters because it got very successful kind of quickly. Yeah. I mean, everybody just really enjoyed the White Vault and
