All right, if you hear my voice, you know you're listening to a podcast and I have been doing podcasts for over 10 years, I think it's crazy.

But one of the things that I am jealous of is that Spotify now makes making your own podcasts so simple. I mean, it's crazy. Spotify's got to apply a platform that lets you make a podcast super easily.

Then distribute it everywhere and guess what, even earn money all in one place for free by the way. It's called Spotify for podcasters and here's how it works. Spotify for podcasters lets you record and edit podcasts right from your phone or computer.

So no matter what your setup is like, you can start creating today. Then you can distribute it, distribute your podcast to Spotify and everywhere else podcasts are heard.

Video podcasts are also available on Spotify. I mean, this is insane. With Spotify for podcasters, you can earn money in a variety of ways, including ads, podcasts and podcasts subscriptions. I mean, they set it all up for you. Invested all seriously, totally free with no catch. Ever since I have discovered Spotify for podcasters, seriously, I feel like I'm on top of the world.

I'm going to be starting some new podcast by the way in the future. If you haven't listened to some of our other podcasts besides songs and stories, you should be listening in but Spotify for podcasters just makes it so easy. I highly recommend it. You give it a try.

Oh no Toby circular breath and he's caught in a loop. He's going to be doing this for 45 minutes. Oh, he broke it.

Thank you Matt for saying that. I didn't know what was happening to me when you said you were breathing. It got me out of the loop. So Joey just so you know Toby and I have a thing where we talk about how you beat box longer than you should.

Yeah, blah blah blah. How like and how it gets on nerves. Anyway, Toby, what's going on my friend? Just live in the dream here in Franklin, Tennessee. My friend. Just you know, just trying to keep keep my head above water. What is that dream? By the way, what kind of dream are you living out my friend?

Well, I want to be a professional.

Is that I've never been one in my life and I think it'd be a great opportunity in my 40s to become one. Aren't you like a professional straight.

No professional musician and podcaster. Yeah, you are. I don't I wouldn't call myself professional. You make money from it. It's the definition professional.

I don't get big fat checks every what you get paid what every week or every two weeks. I'd love to see that. I bet that things heavy when you get a check.

All the zero direct deposit. They don't have man. They treat you nice when you walk up in that bank. You you high client. I tell you what the first time I ever got a professional check my first year of teaching back in 1999. I can't believe I started on the 19.

That sounds such a long time ago. But basically at the Rock Hill school district, you only get 12 checks for the whole year. So I go to work for one week.

It was a teacher's work day. But at the end of that week, it happened to fall on payday. So I get a check in the mail thinking that it was for a week, but it was for the whole month.

And I was like, Oh my gosh, it was like almost a lottery because it was one twelfth of my salary. I went to school the next day. And I was like, is this a mistake or is this what I get paid?

And they're like, Oh, you get you get 12 of those.

Well, you all catch me in a mixed mood, man. I'm in a good mood because I've been in down in Chico working on the Emory record for this for this new Emory record all week.
