Hi, this is Rachel McElroy.

Hello, this is Griffin McQuay.

And this is wonderful.Elroy. Hello, this is Griffin McRoy. And this is wonderful.

Shut up and drive.

It's Max Fun Drive time.

And we're here, part of the Max Fun Network and have been basically from the jump here at Rosebuddy slash Wonderful Incorporated. Yeah. That's the name of our small. We did a few before we joined just to feel like we had our sea legs. Yeah. But then it felt right, didn't it? Yeah. I think we were maybe five or six episodes in and we were like. It feels right. It feels like the time. Max fun. Let us take the helm. We reached out to Jesse. He was like, it's so funny. I was just reaching out to you. He said it feels like it's time. He said it feels like you're ready to drive. That was many moons ago. And now it's 2026. Here we are at the wheel again. Oh, shut up and drive. We're driving for the max fun drive. And what is that? You may say, because you're a new listener, or a particularly inattentive

long-time listener?

Well, for two weeks, each year, we come to you, a hat in hand, and it's a cool hat.

It's not like a jokey top hat or something.

It's like a cool baseball cap.

And we say, hey, if you chip in a little bit of money our way to help us make our shows and pay our staff and, you know, upgrade our equipment and put literal food on our tables, we'll give you some bonus content, some extra stuff along the way,

and you'll get the good feeling in your heart that you knew that you helped support something

that you enjoy listening to so directly. And a lot of thank yous. You know, I think a lot of people

reserve their thank yous for people they don't know very well at restaurants and

grocery stores or they save it up you know maybe once a year for you know a mother's day a father's

day sure sure sure we're offering you we're blasting off the chance to be thanked we're like

legolas with but we have thank yous instead of arrows in our quiver,

but we're still launched them three at a time into your orc ass.

I can't play with you in that space.

I know.

Sometimes it's scary because I'll turn back and I'll be like, where Rachel go?

And I'll remember you're standing on business that you will not consume the Lord of the Rings franchise anytime soon.
