(out sick this week)
Hi folks. And I’m going to put all the text of this in the description. Quick message here to let you know there’s no new podcast this week, because me and the whole Schmidty household are resting up from being sick. And me and Katie tape ahead a few weeks, to try to make it so illnesses don’t interrupt the schedule, but I’ve been out sick for a bit. So we used those up. And I’m coming around. There should be a new SIF next week. I’m sure you don’t even need me to tell you there’s tons of bonus audio and further audio for MaxFun members. Not just from our show but from our buddies too. And thanks for bearing with us, as you can hear I’m coming around, but, see you next week. Help support this show and unlock bonus content! Become a member at https://maximumfun.org/joinsifpod
