Update about progress on Malone Episode (Patreon)

Hey everyone,

Just thought you might like some behind the scenes info on the Malone & McCullough episode.

As often happens we were a bit too ambitious with this one. The Malone episode alone resulted in 85 clips. Now we have had clip inflation but this is still a lot. It's on par with the Rogan & Jocko episode. McCullough meanwhile is awaiting clipping this evening.

I've listened to the episode about 2-3 times now so I know there is a metric tonne of craziness there too. But what we are going to try and do is make the primary focus Malone and to use McCullough clips sparingly to illustrate the similarity in techniques they apply.

Matt & I had planned an epic recording session last Friday but Matt felt under the weather, the clips were not finished, and I had a tonne of work/preparation to do ahead of a family get away. In any case we decided that we could probably do a recording on Saturday morning before I departed if we got up at 4am (Japan) and 5am (Australia). We did that but realised that this episode would likely to be ranty to record while my family were sleeping a room away so... we recorded Decoding Academia #3 about the Prisoner's Dilemma. Which might account (a little) for the brain fog.

The plan now I am back from my family trip is to record tomorrow, then start editing and release by Friday. It'll be a full normal episode with Malone as the target guru and McCullough as back up. That means Malone & McCullough are also going in the gurometer.

This means Bob Wright is bumped but we will probably turn that episode around quicker than usual as we have already listened to his episode and have got a lot of our commentary clear.

So that's what's been up. We had hoped to record on Friday, edit quickly over Sat/Sun & release on Sunday evening but c'est la vie!

Thanks for all your support and patience!

Update 1: Episode is recorded it is four hours long and our most depressing episode yet. Apologies.

Update 2: 50% edited, should get to 100% today. Will release on Friday with Gurometer episode.
