This is Ira Glass.

This Valentine's Day, why don't we make it official?

No more playing around, no more games.

I want you to become our life partner.

When you become a life partner, there'll be no more ads coming between us.

You know the ads on the podcast?

They'll go away like that.

Also, we'll be so much closer.

You'll know us so much better because of all the behind-the-scenes bonus episodes that you'll be getting.

Also, okay, can I just be real for a second?

To fund our show these days, the way that we're doing it is with people who sign up, people who subscribe, people who love our show or people who like our show.

And they pitch in money.

And that's how we're staying on the air.

That's how we're staying going.

So if you fall into any of those categories, I hope you'll consider it.
