What's up, y'all? It's Tim Geddies from Kind of Funny. Here's the deal. We have been celebrating 10 amazing years of Kind of Funny. And it's been going great. We added the Kind of Funny membership to Apple Podcast and to Spotify. We added video on Spotify. We made a whole bunch of different changes to our content lineup. And with that, there's always going to be some hiccups and some hurdles. We were trying our best the last couple of weeks to figure out how to get all of that content to you as fast as possible in a lot. as high quality as possible with as few mistakes as possible. And we're learning how to best do that. There's been a lot of patience we've had to ask from you for us to have the time to kind of figure all that stuff out. As we're doing that, I wanted to keep y'all updated on where we're at. Just so there's as few questions as possible. I know there's a lot of questions and I want you all to know.

We're working very hard here to try to figure this all out. It's just difficult with the amount of shows we do on the amount of plastic. platforms that we have. And I'm not even talking about the KF membership side. I'm even just talking about delivering things when they're live, video, podcast, all of those things. With that being said, one of the things I wanted to update everybody on because we do know the source of what's happening is the different podcast feeds.

You might have noticed that a couple shows are coming up multiple times if you've subscribed to different kind of funny shows over the years. The only podcast feeds that we are using going forward are kind of funny games daily, kind of funny games cast, kind of funny in review, and kind of funny podcast. If you previously subscribed to PSI-WXOXO, XCast, Screencast, KF, we have cool friends, any of the shows that somebody killed, those feeds have now been replaced with the feeds of the four shows I said. So Gamescast, Games Daily, KF podcast in review. You do not need to subscribe to multiple instances of each show.

So if you are, you can unsubscribe and just make sure you're subscribed to one of each of those four and you should not be getting duplicate uploads going forward and everything will be great. If you are trying to get any of that older content, you can find it on YouTube or of course, if you're on Patreon, the entire history of Kind of Funny is there. You can get that. But for free, you can get all of it on YouTube. unfortunately this was a merge that was out of our hands. We were not prepared or planning to have it happen this way.

And it is now irreversible. So this is just something that we are dealing with. And I'm going to let you know right now I'm not that happy about. But that's more of the past than the future. I'm very happy with where we're at now. This is going to be better for kind of funny going forward. So thank you for your patience. I'm so sorry that this is confusing and weird.

But sometimes the best things in life are. So moral of the story is, make sure you subscribe to Kind of Funny Games Daily, kind of funny games cast, kind of funny in review, kind of funny podcast, just once each on podcast feeds, on the podcast service of your choice.

Do not subscribe to multiple instances or else you're just going to get so much, so much content. There you go. One other thing, now moving to the KF membership side of things, we are trying our best to figure out the best workflow to record shows,

edit shows, get them uploaded, and get them to you as fast and as high quality as possible in video and audio forms where applicable. And we are realizing there was a lot of issues with how Spotify handles things, how Apple handles things, how Patreon handles things, how YouTube handles things. And we're trying to find the best path forward to get it to everyone as fast as possible. One major issue, not issue, one major thing we have noticed is the Spotify, um,

ad free version for kind of funny members, the audio only version. is the first thing to post, then the public for everyone, but with ads, video and audio post at the same time, and then the video ad free post on Spotify. That is out of our control, and it all has to do with processing. We upload, then it's on their end to process, and it is just in order of when that thing is done processing, and then it gets to everybody.

We're trying our best to find ways to record in different codecs and formats, and a whole bunch of production tricks and tips that we're trying out. here to make that process as fast and again, high quality as possible, but just letting y'all know we're doing everything we can to make this an optimal experience. It is just very difficult when we're working with other people in their systems. But you might notice if you are, this really mainly affects Spotify, non-kind of funny membership people. So if you're trying to get the show free on Spotify,

you might notice that there's a lock on it. that is just because the ad the version with ads that's free for everybody has not yet processed but it is processing so keep coming back, keep refreshing and it'll eventually be there or get the kind of funny membership and it should be a little faster there that's on Spotify.

I don't want to get too much in the details here. The most important thing for you to know is we're on it, we're trying our best and there's always going to be uploading and processing and time and I wish it was all instant, maybe one day it is. But for now, I appreciate your patience. Thank you so much. I want you to know that you are.

Greg just ran in with the stars in the bank. This is the life that I have to live. Until next time, it's been our pleasures.
