If you do, not only are you supporting the Penaddict podcast, you get your hands on wonderful benefits. Lots of members-only podcast content, members-only newsletter, and access to the RelayFM members Discord. Where right now, as of this week, not only are our live streams, do you have a chat for them, the live stream audio actually plays inside of the Discord app. So I believe it is now easier than ever to listen to our live stream if you're a RelayFM member. Discord is on every single platform. It's super easy. You can just turn on the live stream and you can hear me and Brad talk. So we're continuing to add other functionality into the Discord. It's becoming more and more awesome all the time. So this is a great reason to become a RelayFM member. It's an awesome community of people and you're also helping to support the shows that you love. So we would love it if you would consider becoming a RelayFM member, especially if you choose to support the Penaddict podcast with your RelayFM membership. Thanks so much to Penchalet for the support of this week's episode. And we'll be back next time. Until then, find Brad online. Whoa, I nearly forgot about it.

So, you got to go down a little bit. He's got some of the last Platinum 3776, the Nisleilas and the Carnelian at very good prices right now, especially in relation to the products that are coming out now. Like, this is going to be the perpetual conversation, right? Like, look how good this price is because now it's X. These are really good. Like, these should not be here for that. It's pretty fantastic. Ron always does a great job with all of his inventory.</div></td></tr>
