Just a short PSA to say we are hugely backlogged with Patreon shoutouts. To the extent that we are over a year behind! We are thinking of some way to resolve this or at least allow us to catch up sometime in the foreseeable future. But we just wanted to let you know, that if you are wondering if we missed you, the answer is probably not we are just WAAAAAAY behind!

Any suggestions let us know in the comments!

Ah, the problems of a successful podcast. Two ideas: 1) Just give up trying to catch up 2) Roll them over to the gurometer episodes where you guys have a bit more time.

Mark Bromley

1) Give up. 2). As compensation, buy each of us a 1-month access to Bret Weinstein's Dark Horse Discord (€4.50+VAT), where we can share and revel in our bitter experience of being ignored by DTG and the wider establishment of Professors and Associate Professors, despite our obvious galaxy-brained genius.

All good guys - if the reason it hasn't been done is because you two are so busy decoding, there's no better reason. Take all the patreons, input names into excel...choose one randomly...do the gurumeter with them as well, if they're willing :)

FWIW, I have no idea whether I have not been shouted out to or just missed it and it is nowhere on my radar of concerns for the show ;). I would say, keep up the reading of reviews if there are good ones and keep participating in these comments and offering the occasional livestream and the incentives are definitely fully intact.

Put out the call that anyone who has yet to receive a shoutout has X weeks to submit a an entertaining show review and do a special episode that is just X mins of 'review of review' picked at random. A funny episode that engages the patrons on a personal level which I think would make up for the fact not everyone will get a shoutout.

So, whose ego are you worrying about, yours because you promised or patrons who want to know you fulfill your promises so they feel warm and fuzzy. In the words of Edmond O’Brien, “they? who the hell are they?” And as he said also (same movie script speaking of a promise) ‘it’s who you make it to!!’ I am old.

This whole post is like when Sam Harris said he needed to hire a whole team in the Phillipines just to answer emails from people asking for an account on his website.

You're victims of your own success!

No more vested interest since I got mine this week.

Reconcile with James Lindsay, arrange a 2nd appearance on Dr. Phil for him, secretly exchange his scripted remarks with a list of Patreon shout-outs, 2 minutes later and voila!

I may not have gotten a shout-out, but I do now have a vitriolic dislike for Joe Rogan, which is just as good, right?

Ruth Marshall

I don't mind about the shout-outs personally, but thought you'd be pleased that you got your own shout out in TWiV 854 (https://www.microbe.tv/twiv/twiv-854/)! Scrub to the end where they have the listener picks. Listen to the whole thing actually, two good papers on omicron fitness and viral load.

I find the shout outs as boring as it gets! Please don't feel obliged to do anything on account of my miniscule contribution.
