And we are live. Welcome to another episode of the Survival podcast. Guys and gals. It is episode 31 53. Thursday.

August 25, 2002. I want to say something just insane that right there something I always hit the beginning of the show.

And it's something that my fellow podcasters can learn from the reason I say the date, the day of the week, and the time, you know, and the episode number in every episode is about my fifth or sixth episode when like three people were listening.

One of those three people reached out and said, Jack, you should say the day, the date, and the episode number. Every time you start a podcast, because if you're going to keep doing this, you're going to end up with a bunch of podcasts and people are going to be like, they don't want some sense of where they're at when they listen to one, especially when you have a whole catalog of podcasts.

Every single one of you that does a podcast should be doing that. Every single one of you, because I started doing it. And I'm like, yeah, I guess this makes sense. When I started becoming a podcast consumer, not just producer. I'm like, I really wish everybody did this. So just just a little piece of advice. Oh, yeah, use the fountain. That'll come up today.

But what do we got going on today? Well, before I begin, let me remind you, I will never contact you for any personal information on a private chat, et cetera, in the video comments or on Instagram or any place like that, just because you see my picture, my name, my logo does not mean it's me just like an NFT.

You can right click and save as a pretend to be anybody online. Somebody emailed me yesterday and said, hey, I'm doing this chat with you in some Google chat or something like that.

You originally contacted me on Instagram. Some of this doesn't seem right. Is it you? And I'm like, no, I don't do that. I say it every episode. Instagram doesn't care about you. Facebook doesn't care about you. YouTube doesn't care about you. Please care about yourself.

I promise you, I don't think you're so special that I reached out to you in a YouTube comment and give you a WhatsApp number when I don't even have the WhatsApp app.

All right, disclaimer done. Let's talk about what we're going to talk about today.

A bunch of stuff is I didn't market it as an outback with Jack, but it's kind of like an outback with Jack feedback episode that type of thing.

We are going to talk about some boostograms and a comment that made my day, a comment that has like 350 words.

And I have like an eight point point list of all the good shit in it. And it's based on yesterday's show.

And I said the only thing that would have made it better is if it was a Friday. So I'll give you that comment and some boostograms.

And I want you guys to know there are things that you guys send me, tell me, et cetera, that they're my payday.

As much as when I get a paycheck from MSB or when I get one from a sponsor, like the things you guys tell me really mean a lot.

The communication I have with you guys really means a lot. The comments, the emails, the Jack here, jerk emails, all that stuff.

It means a ton to me. And I thank you so much for it. And this one is like one of those ones where like I really love what I do when I see a comment like this.

We're going to talk about an idea for the TSP Swag Shop, which should be opening on the 29th.

That's my latest feedback from my folks running it for me, where you can get cool TSP branded merchandise, kind of like the shirt I'm wearing right there.

It's always weird on stream, right? Everything's backwards. But you know, TSP brand of merchandise. It's coming.

But I have an idea that they suggested and I don't know what they'll cost yet, but they're reaching out to somebody to see about making a custom run of something that would be kind of cool.
