What milestone and listener project do they celebrate at episode 700?
John, it's your favorite time.
Is it anniversary corner? It's anniversary corner, baby.
It's anniversary corner, baby.
This occurred to me last week and I forgot about it, but now it's all coming back to me.
This is ATP episode 700. 700 that you two and me have sat here except, uh, one prisoner exchange episode. It's been all three of us for 700 episodes, which is absolutely bananas.
700 regular episodes. When I did, when I realized last week that this was happening, I did a small bit of math so I could do it on this week when you booby trapped me with it. So obviously we have our member specials and we've done one off things like interview shows and stuff like that. So it's actually obviously more than 700. But for the regular episodes, the not interview, not member special, not blah, blah, blah. We've done 52 regular episodes per year for 13.46 episodes. One five years, which is not quite as round. I know it's episode 700, but it's not as exciting as the year round number. So anyway, we've been doing this for a while.
So I don't have the author's name in front of me, and I'm deeply sorry about that. But there is a listener who has been working on for like a year or two now, catatp.fm, c-a-t-a-t-p.fm. This is an absolutely incredible resource. This is taking the spirit of what Underscore had done years ago about running shows through a transcription service and trying to make the best of what comes out of it. And obviously with today's AI stuff, it's quite a bit more impressive than it was years ago. There's a handful of these like Underscore's like cat ATP that exist. And this one I happened to look at recently and And there are statistics. So if you go to catatp.fm slash statistics, you can see that as of, I think, this most recent episode, not the one we're actually recording now, obviously, but as of 699, total length of all the episodes, 1,421 hours, 6 minutes, and 13 seconds.
Astonishing.
Yeah. And Cat ATP, by the way, like what a what a level up that is from like everything that's come before because the author is using AI heavily and cleverly. And wow, it's advanced. It's really something.
Yeah, at some point, I'd probably like to talk a little more about Cat ATP because there's some interesting stuff here. And the author, who, again, I don't have the email in front of me. I'm so, so, so sorry. But they had emailed us. And among other things, they had come up with a visualization of what sections of the last couple of episodes were cut from the bootleg to the released version, which I thought was a really interesting visualization of what you're missing out on if you don't listen to bootleg. Now what you're getting if you don't listen to bootleg is Marco's genuinely, not sarcasm, genuinely exquisite edits. You're getting much better audio quality, but you're missing some of the nonsense and shenanigans that you would hear only in the bootleg.
If I remember, I will post one such example image and link it in the show notes. I don't have it handy as we speak, but it is really good stuff. And you can see as an example what makes the bootleg kind of fun. Now, I'm not necessarily saying the bootleg is like the canonical version. In fact, I'm pretty actively saying that's not the canonical version, but there is something to be said for some of the shenanigans. So like I said, I'll try to dig up one of those images and put it in the show notes.
I think the author's name is Justin. And by the way, this is a fun thing from the website. It is the word cloud of word frequencies. And I'm pretty happy with this one.
That is because there is Mac Pro extremely large, phone almost as large, and then a bunch of other stuff.
It's basically Mac Pro phone. I can't wait for the Mac Pro phone. It's going to be awesome. It will be pretty work-money try. Yeah.
Right? Yes, this is Justin. Justin Kay, who has done incredible work here. And like I said, I will try to find one of these images where you can see what the bootleg gets you, and I will post that in the show notes. But happy 700, everyone.
