Hello, Travelers, host Jeremy here with you for a very brief walkabout trailside. We totally just made that up. Basically, just want to talk with you just for a few minutes about the Dole Whip Club, the Dole Whip Fund, and say some thank yous. So a while back, if you don't know, if you haven't been with us for a while, we had a Patreon account and tears and, you know, all that good stuff that Patreon does. we decided as a group of hosts to sunset that, partially because we are all incredibly busy. A couple of the podcast hosts actually worked more than one job, and we just didn't have any more time or energy to give, and we felt that we weren't giving enough back to the wonderful people who were supporting us on Patreon. And so, sunset at that, and since then, we have started what we've started what we've,

call the Dole Whip Fund. And all that means is that if you look at any of our recent episodes, in the show notes, you will find a clickable link that will take you right to Google Pay or Apple Pay. And in 10 seconds, you can throw a couple of dollars to your host as just a means of saying thank you. And so I wanted to say thank you because we haven't done much of that in our recent episodes. Josh and I were just going over this and just, we're just so happy and thrilled and humbled about the people who have chosen to support us. And this isn't about us saying, hey, we need your money.

Please give money. If you know us, you know this isn't it. This is us just saying thank you for those who have gone above and beyond. The best thing you can do for us is listen. The second best thing you can do for us is write us a note. We absolutely love them. We share them with the entire crew every time. This is icing on the cake territory.

If you have means, if you want to, if you don't, if you can't, that's fine. But if you want to, you can support your hosts. They work really hard. Just full disclosure, I disclose, I recuse myself from this. But the way this works is that in any given month, whichever hosts record an episode. we divide the listener gifts up equally between those hosts. Not a bit of it goes to anything else.

It goes directly to them. It doesn't go to podcast hosting funds or anything like that. It just literally is a thank you gift for the hosts, and it means a lot. To that end, I want to read some names. I like to read names. We used to do this in the Patreon times. but these are just a few of the names that have chosen to throw a little support our way over the recent months. And so I'm going to read a first name and then a last initial.

I'm going to start off with Pamela L. Then we have Emma W. We have Don G. Who actually I think has donated twice. Thank you, Donnell L. our good friend. Another good friend William Z. Our good buddy David K. From across the ocean, who also has donated twice. Thank you, David.

Michelle T. We have Tucker B. Aaron B. These are just the last couple of months folks that have decided to chip in. And from the entire team, we want to say, thank you so much. Thank you for listening. thank you for supporting. It just brings us so much joy to do this, and it's nice to see that it brings some of you joy as well. And so with that, I'm going to sign off.

Thanks once again, and we'll see you on the next regular episode of Walk About the World.
