All right, people, I am going to make this quick, but I just had to announce that for the next six weeks or so, getting into the holiday season, I'm putting a lot of my show outlines up for auction again.

I've mentioned before that I stick to a strict routine when preparing for and recording THC episodes, and part of that process, 95% of the time, time going back many years has been compiling my

mess of notes into a roughly 4 to 6 page outline that I print out and then conduct the

interview from as a template.

I write in the margins.

I cross questions off as we go along.

I jot things down a guest says that I don't want to forget,

and I usually have a good deal of material in these outlines that never even makes it to air.

When an interview is done, I put a little staple in the corner and throw them in a drawer

until the time comes to dust them off and show them to the people for the holidays.

Some folks seek out, sign scripts of their favorite movies, or try to nab a concert set list

before filing out into the parking lot.

Well, this is like that, but for a weird, obscure podcast.

So I am signing, listing, and auctioning off another round of these outlines I have to any

listeners who might

be interested in that kind of thing. Each one is totally unique, full of my own dumb notes and

typos, never really designed for public consumption, but it's fine. If you're into it,

they'll be listed on eBay. The link is at the top of the show notes, and I'll post links

across the social media dystopias that I happen to have an unfortunate presence on.

All the listings are set to go for 10 days each so have at it and I'll be ready to

stuff those envelopes on the other side. Merry Christmas to me. Enjoy.

The planet's par with masters almost surely have a plan.
