So if you love today's episode, that is your sign to go sign up on our Patreon or subscribe on Apple Podcasts.

And if you are going to support us, we are going to work our ass off for you and always give good content.

So we're taking a little break because, you know, we need to refocus the podcast for what you love the most. And also, as you know, I went and shot my film this year. It's going to come out in theaters. I have some other TV and film stuff happening. And I've just been really struggling with how to keep up with the pace of this podcast and the content and the quality. and also do my other jobs. And so we're gonna refocus things over the next few weeks.

And we're going to put all those changes in and basically make this a more sustainable podcast for me while also making more of the episodes you love and less of the episodes you do not.
