Music. Today’s episode is ultra important for you to listen to, because we’re going to talk about some major housekeeping All right the way forward for the occult symbolism of pop culture podcast, it’s a little dramatic. We’re going to talk about some Patreon updates, Patreon gift memberships,

Unknown Speaker 0:23
a resolution to my eternal debate about swearing or not on this podcast, the Twin Peaks, gray Lodge, major updates, hint I’m done.

Unknown Speaker 0:34
The way forward on video drama, that’s YouTube, rockfin, Rumble,

Unknown Speaker 0:42
Twitter X drama and a insane Black Friday t shirt deal I’ll be offering up. In fact, it’s live right now. So if you want to check out the prices, gumroad.com/isaac,

Unknown Speaker 0:55
W

Unknown Speaker 0:56
Let’s start out with Patreon.

Unknown Speaker 0:59
This is what’s going on,

Unknown Speaker 1:02
if what happened was Apple

Unknown Speaker 1:06
is,

Unknown Speaker 1:08
I guess, more or less forcing patreon

Unknown Speaker 1:13
to

Unknown Speaker 1:15
sell memberships through the Apple app at a higher cost. Kind of let me explain what’s going on. And I want to tell you, first and foremost, if you’re already on my Patreon, patreon.com/illuminati,

Unknown Speaker 1:26
watcher,

Unknown Speaker 1:28
this won’t impact you at all. Don’t even worry about what I’m about to say. This is only for people who in the future plan on signing up for the Patreon. And I’ll try to, like, keep reminding you of this. So this is only going to affect people in the future, signing up for Patreon through the Apple iOS Patreon app. So if you’re on Android, don’t even worry about it. Okay, but if you’re using an Apple iPhone and in the future, you want to sign up for Patreon through the Patreon app

Unknown Speaker 1:57
on the Apple thing, this is gonna cost you more because they decided that

Unknown Speaker 2:04
when you sign up for a creator such as myself here, Apple wants this massive cut Apple I’m gonna read you some of the official language. Apple is requiring that Patreon switch to their iOS in app purchase system starting this November, or risk being removed from the App Store, it says two major consequences for creators. That’s me, right. Apple will be applying a 30% App Store fee to all new memberships purchased in the Patreon iOS app

Unknown Speaker 2:33
any creator currently on Yeah, you don’t care about that.

Unknown Speaker 2:39
So again, to reiterate, the Apple 30% fee will not affect anyone who’s already on the Patreon team. This is only for people in the future who want to sign up for my Patreon and only for those people that use the Apple iOS Patreon app, the Apple Patreon app to sign up. All right?

Unknown Speaker 3:03
They’re saying that it’s gonna start rolling out November of 2024 I’m reading that it might not be fully propagated out till early 2025 whatever. Right? So here’s the deal. If you already signed up for Patreon, you’re good. Don’t even worry about this. If you’re on an Android, you’re good. Don’t even worry about this. If you sign up in the future at the website, patreon.com/illuminati,

Unknown Speaker 3:26
watcher on a laptop, a desktop, a browser, even your Safari browser on your Apple phone, you’re good. You don’t have to worry about it. You’re going to see tier ones five bucks on all of those things. But in the future, if you sign up for Patreon using the the Patreon app on the Apple phone, you’re gonna see it’s like eight or nine bucks for tier one now, because they are charging more. Okay, good. Just want to make sure you see that. All right.

Unknown Speaker 3:52
Next, Patreon,

Unknown Speaker 3:54
I attempted this. There’s a gift membership option. If you want to give it to somebody, you’re like, Hey, you got to check out my boy Isaac. You can gift membership Patreon memberships now, all right, this applies to everything on the Patreon. From what I understand, that includes a, you know, I do this show with, with my, my beautiful Normie wife, breaking social norms. It’ll apply to that too. They’ll have their own breaking social norms will have its own gift membership page. But if you go to patreon.com/illuminati

Unknown Speaker 4:22
watcher slash gift, you can find gift membership options. I tried to do this with my VIP section, Illuminati watcher.com, VIP section, which is basically the same thing.

Unknown Speaker 4:33
There were some difficulties, right? Like I say, I’m a one man army, and there were some difficulties. And it wasn’t a smooth, painless thing, so I kind of disabled that for the time being. So now you can do it on Patreon. They’re really doing a lot of work at patreon to improve the platform there, by the way. So I’m loving it. It’s great.

Unknown Speaker 4:50
Speaking of the VIP section, and I’ve got some requests. Sometimes when I discuss things like today, I’m going to leave links in the show.

Unknown Speaker 5:00
Show notes for that Patreon gift membership page, all right? But oftentimes when I do a show, I’ll be like, Hey, did you watch the we’re gonna talk about the the 911 conspiracy theory shows I did in September of 21 I’ll put a link in the show notes. I say that all the time, right? I reference other shows, and I put the link in the show notes. If you’re on the VIP section, if you’re on Apple premium, I cannot put a link for your ad free version of the show. I can only put links to the free feed version of the show because I link it through my Illuminati watcher.com website. So when I’m telling you check out the link, you may have to just scroll back on the app to like. For instance, the September the 911 shows, you’re going to scroll back on the app to September of 21 to find that show if you want the ad free. And the problem is, I can put the Like, I put the I leave the links in there on the free feed version of the show.

Unknown Speaker 5:57
And that’s fine, because the free feed losers. They click it and they’re like, Okay, and there’s the ads that I deserve. And I’m joking. I’m joking, Everyone calm down. And I don’t want to leave those in for the Apple premium folks or the VIP section folks, because I don’t want them to click it and then they hear ads and they’re like, What the hell Isaac? It’s because I literally don’t have a link I can provide because of the structure of way the app works. I don’t know if that makes sense, but

Unknown Speaker 6:26
in the Patreon, I try to sometimes find the link to the Patreon, so the page again, like I keep staring people towards the Patreon, because it actually seems to be the it’s the best as far as functionality goes. But anyway, all three platforms are great. If you want to compare illuminatiwatcher.com, hit that VIP tab up top. You can compare all three options. VIP section is the one that I own and manage and run. It can be your cheapest form. I send you a nice little little video, a little welcome video, personalized for every new sign up. Apple premium is the easiest, because you mash the button and you’re in Patreon kind of has the best of everything. To be honest, you got a comment section. You get the free books.

Unknown Speaker 7:06
But you know, whatever one you like,

Unknown Speaker 7:08
swearing, the age old debate of swearing. I started podcasting 10 years ago,

Unknown Speaker 7:14
and I opted to try to stay professional, you know, which means I don’t swear on the podcast in general. Every now and then I’ll swear, because I’ll be playing movie clips that have swear words in it, and I think, well, I mean, the whole episode is going to be explicit lyrics. I might as well let it rip, right? And I get a lot of back and forth about this, and I posted it up, and the comments that I read from a recent episode where I said, Hey, like, do you guys want me to swear or not? Like some, most people seem to love it. So I’m like, I’m just gonna roll with it. Like, that’s the more authentic version of me anyway. So I’m not gonna warn you guys anymore in the future, if I’m gonna swear during the episode, like, just assume it’s gonna be there. I will mark them all as explicit.

Unknown Speaker 8:00
My apologies for the people that hate that I

Unknown Speaker 8:04
and what the what a lot of people said when they were like, Well, look, Isaac. I mean, we’re talking about really dark subject matter here. I don’t think anyone’s that offended by it, and I hope that is the case, because, you know, I’m a people pleaser. I want everyone to be happy and have the product they want, but, and I promise I’m not going to overdo it and drop F bombs every other sentence. I mean, hell, I might not even swear. You might not even hear me swearing, but I just want to let you know that I’m not going to give you the forewarning anymore. Just assume what’s there, and if you’re driving in the minivan with the kids and that’s a problem, sorry.

Unknown Speaker 8:35
So there you go. We’re letting the swear words fly from here on out.

Unknown Speaker 8:40
Next email drama.

Unknown Speaker 8:43
I’ve got an email list on illuminatiwatcher.com you’ll find the sign up field almost everywhere. It’s the one where, when you sign up for the free email list, the first email you get is a link to download my first book for free, which, if you haven’t done that yet, I don’t know what you’re doing. Go get it. If you go to illuminatiwatch.com, go to the Start Here, menu tab up top, you’ll find the field there. You’ll find it almost every page. I put it everywhere.

Unknown Speaker 9:10
And what it is is it’s just basically, when I have a new appearance or a new episode that comes out, I notify you guys through the email, right? Everyone’s busy, I get it so I hit it up. Well, what you should also know is that on my gum road store, when you buy a product, you’re automatically signing for a gum road.

Unknown Speaker 9:29
It’s not called an email list, because it’s more of a post thing. There’s like posts on there,

Unknown Speaker 9:36
but effectively you end up on another email list for my Gumroad. So what I’ve been doing is like, I send out that email to both my illuminatiwatch.com email list and the Gumroad email list, so you’ll see the same email twice if you’re signing up for both things, right? And some people wrote me and they said, hey, that’s annoying. Well, what I would recommend is you unsubscribe from the Gumroad email because the.

Unknown Speaker 10:00
Illuminati watcher.com emails, and when I’m gonna send the most things on I know

Unknown Speaker 10:05
it’s kind of weird, right? I would

Unknown Speaker 10:08
just unsubscribe from the Gumroad one for now, okay? Because there’s nothing that the Gumroad email is gonna get that the Illuminati watcher.com Email wouldn’t get. So just stay on the Illuminati watch.com email

Unknown Speaker 10:18
and unsubscribe from the gum road 1t

Unknown Speaker 10:22
shirts. Oh, I forgot to tell you I got twin peaks out. Did I tell you I got Twin Peaks updates? Okay, T shirts. You know, Black Friday is coming up. It’s our capitalistic holiday. I’m not doing a promo code like I normally do. I just went in and updated the pricing on the T shirts, and I’m gonna keep it the price up from this moment you’re listening to this until Sunday, November 24 All right,

Unknown Speaker 10:49
I’ve got a handful of shirts. First off, I got the free feed loser shirt, right? It’s the occult symbolism and pop culture logo on the front and it says free feed Loser on the back. Turns out you guys didn’t like that idea. It’s shocking. So I’ve got to basically sell these at a loss, because no one’s buying them. A few easy few did I appreciate you. Thank you. I wear when I rock it. I cut the sleeves off. I love it.

Unknown Speaker 11:17
I think it’s funny. A lot of people don’t. So I’m selling them at a loss. Price is fixed right now, at 999, let’s just get them out of here. Okay, then I’ve got the sort of podcast logo with these nerds are going to kill us on the back in gray. I’ve still got a handful of sizes left there, selling them at below cost. 1499

Unknown Speaker 11:37
I’ve got the Laura Palmer she’s filled with secrets shirt from the Red Room Twin Peaks. Uh, very little stock on every size 1499, below cost. I’ve got Dale Cooper shirts from Twin Peaks. I got two double xls and two triple XLS left. That’s it, way below cost, 999 let’s get them out of here. I got two small George Bush shirts at way below cost, 999 let’s get them out of here. And then, of course, I got the classic, iconic podcast shirt

Unknown Speaker 12:06
has the podcast logo on the front. These nerds are gonna kill us on the back, in black, and we saw him at close to cost, 1999

Unknown Speaker 12:14
so get them while you can. And what about books you’re saying? Well, I can’t really discount them like that. I mean, my goodness, there was so much work to begin with. Anyhow,

Unknown Speaker 12:24
if you’re on the supporter feeds, you’ll get a 10% discount code. I’d recommend using that shipping. A lot of people say, Dude, I’m trying to buy two books and a shirt, and you’re charging me, you know, 25 bucks for shipping. What the hell the problem is? The bundling. When I started out in this journey, I had, like, one book to sell, and I don’t know of a way to bundle all of it, because it gets real screwy on my end. I don’t know how to explain that, besides saying, like, it’s really difficult for me to bundle items into a shipment, so that’s why I have a couple packages, right? Like, I gotta if you want the two alien books, you can get that in a package. If you want every book I’ve ever written, you can get that in a get that in a package. That’s like, kind of the best way for me to bundle things. You can check it out, gumroad.com/isaac, W but if you’re buying a bunch of stuff and you’re like, dude, like the shipping is like, pissing me off. I’m not buying this and paying all these different shipping charges when you’re gonna throw it all in one big package. Hit me up at Illuminati watcher@gmail.com

Unknown Speaker 13:23
and I’ll send you a custom PayPal invoice if you don’t pay, pal, I’m sorry. PayPal is the only option I got for something like that. Again, I’m a one man army. This isn’t a big business over here, so Illuminati watcher at Gmail, shoot me a message. Say this is the things I want. These are, this is my address. Send me a PayPal invoice. And I can do that,

Unknown Speaker 13:41
you know. And keep in mind, it’s my birthday next week, all right, and I don’t make half a million dollars a month from foreign governments, and I barely accept sponsorships anymore, because I’ve written really picky about the products

Unknown Speaker 13:55
I got six kids to feed. But I don’t just want to sponsor anything that comes across my desk. I go back and forth on that, but like at the moment, I’m like, No, I want to stand more towards only the things that I’m like, Okay, I dig this. I think my people will like this, right? Okay,

Unknown Speaker 14:13
so shirts are on sale right now, those sizes I called out that might be gone by the time you get there. Gumroad.com/isaac, W looking at the show notes as always, Twin Peaks. I’m done. I’m done with Twin Peaks. All I got it. I’ve went through all the episodes of season three, and I just have to edit them and do a my and I did the final dossier. I just got to edit all that, which takes a good amount of time. But the hardest part is over,

Unknown Speaker 14:40
and I, but I do need to complete my final wrap up analysis. I’m I’m deep into that, but I wanted to give you fair warning, because if you’re following along on the gray Lodge, I’m going to be picking up at a considerable pace. I would recommend you just kind of blast through the shows if you can, because I’m going to be dumping all of these twin peaks.

Unknown Speaker 15:00
Episodes. It just depends on the timing. Like if I took two days off of work, I could probably just knock them all out, and you’re gonna see what 1516 episodes show up on your feed in the course of two days. Like that might happen, but I’m planning on getting these pumped out and dropping them as soon as I can. I’m gonna say December. Maybe I’ll do half of them in December. Half in January. Just depends on how much free time I’ve got to do the editing. And the reason I want to just bang them out and not sort of stretch them out, is because I know a bunch of you absolutely hate it. You see Twin Peaks episodes come across your podcast feed, you’re like, Isaac, stop it with the Twin Peaks. All right, you hate it. Why? I don’t know it’s fine, though, because I started out hating Twin Peaks too, but they’ll be there someday, you’ll come back and you’ll say, You know what, I finally, I’m into this show because I was there too. So, but for now, you know just, I just want to let you know that I’m going to be, I’m going to be cruising. So if you want to catch up, let’s just do it right? It’s been a year and a half. I gotta get if I can find the time to focus, I’ll nerd out and just bang them out. All right,

Unknown Speaker 16:09
Twitter drama. I’m taking a break from Twitter. Is this a political statement? No, it’s more of an anti nerd statement. I you know, when me and Josie did a on breaking social norms. A few years ago, we did a countdown of the top 10 most evil nerds on the planet, and

Unknown Speaker 16:28
guess who came in at number one, right? And this is well before a lot of the political stuff.

Unknown Speaker 16:36
I’ve I’ve dumped my What did I have three shares of Tesla stock, and I’m dumping Twitter, not permanently, just for a while, just because it gives me the ick to even support it, to get on there and look at anything, because I, I don’t trust that person. I’ll probably go back someday, right, but not anytime soon. I’m, I’m, I’m standing on my most evil nerd business, and here in capitalist America, that’s how you vote. This is how you vote. We live in an attention economy. I will not be supporting that guy.

Unknown Speaker 17:11
Finally, it says, Finally, is this the last one? And we’re done video drama. Oh, my God, always with the video drama. I don’t know what it is. It’s the bane of my existence. I found out the hard way that YouTube torched my channel with no warning, that my second channel, right? I’ve still got my third, like, small backup channel, but like, why bother? You know what I mean, my second one, my first one, got banned. As you know, in 2017 I was up like, 74,000 subs. This one, I was building it. I was up to 22,000 again. I was like, All right, here we go. And I was even careful about what I uploaded there, and didn’t matter if they torched it. I was like, okay, they give you an email. It says it was content that promotes, glorifies or incites acts of violence to harmful conspiracy theories which have been linked to direct threats or violent acts, and it’s not allowed on YouTube. Okay.

Unknown Speaker 18:01
Well, look, I’m gonna shut up. But we all know there’s plenty of people on YouTube right now who are conspiracy theory type folks.

Unknown Speaker 18:10
For some reason, Russell Brand can have 3 million followers. I’m sure Tim pool is on there. It’s Tim pull on there. Should I say that even I don’t even know the guy, I don’t, I’m not trying to fire shots. I’m just saying, like it’s insane. The hypocrisy is insane of what’s allowed on YouTube, what’s not Yeah, Tim, pull one, 1.4 million followers for Tim, pool Mark Dice. I mean, it goes on and on. I’m not trying to snitch. I’m just saying, like it’s insane, the amount of censorship and hassling I get. Why? I don’t know if you know me or my saga, you know, this is a whole ordeal for me, and it’s shocking to me. You know, I and I even got kicked off a Vimeo where I was paying them to host my videos. And I’m shocked, because I try to be the guy that’s the most civil. I try to be the most civil guy in all of the truth or community, because I’m a very moderate guy. I want to be respectful to people, and I use the term allegedly, where I can, I just don’t understand it. But for whatever reason, the video version of my show is the biggest source of drama in my whole life. Why? Because it takes forever to process. It takes forever to edit. You got to upload the videos. You got to have equipment. You got to have cameras. You got to have software. It’s expensive, you know, video cameras, you go to the Best Buy, there’s one video camera. It’s 1000 bucks. It’s a Sony. That’s what I got. I mean, back in the day, you get a video camera for two, 300 bucks, and then you got to get the software. I mean, it’s a whole ordeal, right?

Unknown Speaker 19:35
And besides all of that, it’s very it’s the most time consuming part of the whole process for me,

Unknown Speaker 19:41
and it’s the thing that gets banned the most.

Unknown Speaker 19:46
I got banned from YouTube and Vimeo and, uh, anyway, so I went to rockfin, as you know, in 2020

Unknown Speaker 19:53
during the heat of a lot of censorship and banning on all these other platforms, and things were fine on there. Um.

Unknown Speaker 20:00
Yeah, but the engagement for me just doesn’t exist. It just doesn’t happen. No one’s watching my videos. The

Unknown Speaker 20:06
engagement is just not good for me, right? It’s a good platform. There’s great people on there. A lot of people on there.

Unknown Speaker 20:13
For whatever reason I don’t fit. 90% of the comments I get are people telling me to kill myself. So I’m like, Okay, well, so I don’t know people hate me. People hate hated Josie on there. I don’t, I don’t know what it is. I just, I’m not gonna do it. It’s kind of like Twitter. I’m not gonna, I’m not gonna get on an area that ruins my day and makes me start, quit spiraling into depression and self critical stuff. I’m just not doing it. So it’s not a platform that works for me. It’s not it’s not them, it’s me, is what I’m trying to say. So I’m

Unknown Speaker 20:45
not gonna upload videos on Rockford anymore. I’ll leave the archive up there for a while. I’ll probably just delete the whole channel in 25 to avoid confusion, because I don’t want people to sign up be like, Oh, Isaac’s on here, and then like, oh, where’s it? All this stuff you’re not uploading. So I’m just letting you know I’m off Rockford. Okay, and listen to me. I sincerely apologize to you guys. Anyone back in 2020 or does it 21 when I was like, hey, follow me on Rockford. I’m more than gonna get censored off of Patreon and all these other things,

Unknown Speaker 21:14
I was pumping it really hard, because I was it felt like the world was changing so rapidly at that time, and it was really scary for me,

Unknown Speaker 21:21
and it was a new platform. And I really liked it, because I was like, Well, this is a place that they won’t censor me, and they absolutely won’t. They’re great.

Unknown Speaker 21:30
And,

Unknown Speaker 21:33
you know, so I’d set up the rockfin, and then I then, after a few months, I was like, Man, I need to have my own thing. Because, like Greg Carwood, he’s got his own thing. And that was the move from the beginning. I should have done from day one, but I didn’t. I don’t like the idea of someone being able to sort of hold things over me and pull my plug,

Unknown Speaker 21:52
so I created the VIP section as my sort of alternative, my backup plan, in case Patreon torches me without warning someday. But anyways, I apologize to you people, that you guys are the greatest you you followed me to rockfin, and now I’m like, well, now I’m off of there, so, like, I apologize. What a pain in the ass that must be. I get it. And I’m, I’m humbly asking you, if you want the video version of my show,

Unknown Speaker 22:18
tier two on either Patreon or my VIP section, is the way you can get the ad free video versions of every single episode I do if you’re on the Apple premium. I’m sorry I can’t offer a tier two version. It’s just not the way the structure works. That’s audio only on Apple. So

Unknown Speaker 22:36
that leads me to the rumble option, because everyone says, well, just put it on rumble. They don’t censor. I actually did set up a channel on rumble. Um, it’s, I think it’s like rumble.com/c/occult,

Unknown Speaker 22:48
symbolism. I’ll put the link in the show notes. I didn’t really take it serious, because, again, not a lot of people on there, not a ton of engagement. Like, I’ll never hit a million subscribers on rumble. It’s just not going to happen. YouTube. You could if you didn’t get torched,

Unknown Speaker 23:02
and the ad revenue doesn’t exist. I mean, virtually non existent on rumble, which I hate to be the guy who’s always talking about the money, but like I was trying to say this, the equipment, the software and the time it takes to do the videos is off the charts.

Unknown Speaker 23:17
It’s easily the biggest pain in my butt. I don’t even want to do it. I really don’t, but a lot of people like it that I’ve got a lot of people on my tier two that that want me to have those videos, and I’m doing it for them. And

Unknown Speaker 23:31
anyway, so, so from here on out, here’s the two options you could do. You could do the rumble channel, because I will upload almost all the videos there, but you’re gonna be on free feed. Loser status. You’re gonna have ads that they put on there. You’re gonna have ads that I put on there. You’re and it’s gonna take a month I’m gonna upload those shows a month after I post the episode to my podcast feed.

Unknown Speaker 23:52
Or you could do the supporter status, tier two, again, same. You’ll get ad free version of the video. You’ll get early access,

Unknown Speaker 24:02
and you’ll get it through. I post an index on VIP section, tier two and Patreon tier two. Of the unlisted links on the rump because I upload them to rumble, but it’s an unlisted, private link that no one sees, right? So that’s kind of how you get to watch the video, all right?

Unknown Speaker 24:19
Tier two, right now is 10 bucks so So in conclusion, let’s wrap everything up. Let’s wrap it all up. What did I talk to you about today?

Unknown Speaker 24:29
Patreon. From here on out, if you sign up for Patreon using the Apple Store Patreon app, you might be paying a extortion fee of 30% more if you want the regular, you know, tier one’s five bucks. If you want that regular tier one $5 price, you got to sign up, literally anywhere. But the Apple app for Patreon, the browser is great, the laptop’s Great. Android is great. That’s the deal. And you’ll know it, you’ll see it, you’ll say, Damn, tier one’s at 899,

Unknown Speaker 24:57
no, it’s not five bucks. So that should.

Unknown Speaker 25:00
Your cue to be like, Oh, that’s right, I remember Isaac talking about

Unknown Speaker 25:03
this. Patreon has gift memberships. Now if you want to give a gift membership of my show to someone, I’ll put the link in the show notes.

Unknown Speaker 25:11
I’m swearing from here on out no more warnings. My apologies for the few people who don’t dig it. I gotta be me,

Unknown Speaker 25:19
but and I promise I won’t be over the top with it. I’m not trying to be a gross person, okay, but I will be dropping a bomb here and there. Twin Peaks, I’m wrapping it up, don’t and here’s the point. What the Twin Peaks? If you see 20 episodes in a row, Twin Peaks in a week, don’t unsubscribe. Don’t get mad. Just know that I’m banging them out so that you don’t have to see it anymore on your feed. For the people that hate it.

Unknown Speaker 25:43
Apple premium and VIP section, I can’t do links to the ad free version of the episode in the show notes, so when I say link in the show notes for the episode, you probably won’t see it got to scroll back to the date on the app, gum road. You get the emails, and it bugs you to see duplicates unsubscribe from the gum road email. And I’ve got the Black Friday sale live right now for the shirts for at very heavy discounts. If you own the books at a discount, you can get 10% on any of my except for the Apple premium. You can’t get a 10% code VIP section or Patreon. You can get a 10% Gumroad code.

Unknown Speaker 26:17
Twitter, I’m done with it for a while. You can follow me on Instagram. Of course,

Unknown Speaker 26:22
I’ve been trying to work with threads. And even blue sky. I’m on there because a lot of the Twin Peaks people went to blue sky. Facebook’s still a graveyard. I don’t go there anymore. I’m trying to sort of find my new home of Where did mindlessly scroll and threads is pretty good. Blue Sky’s okay. It’s not a ton of people on there.

Unknown Speaker 26:39
I’m deleting my rockfin in 2025 you know where to go if you want tier two videos. And Rumble is gonna be free feed loser. Video status, I’ll be uploading most of my videos there, but you’re gonna get them a month late. You’re gonna have ads. You’re not and you’re not gonna you’re gonna be supporting your boy like you want. So just sign for the tier two and it’ll be all gravy. So there you go. Thanks for listening to the house. Oops. All a housekeeping show. I’ll put links in the show notes for all this crap. Hope you have some good holidays. Stay positive. You.
