Hey, grown ups. Lee here. Welcome back to season eight and another brand new episode. Before we start, I'd like to take just a minute here to ask for your help with finishing our season. We want to be honest with our listeners that it is a really challenging time right now for educational media providers, including kids and family podcasts like Story Pirates. Unless we're able to raise more funds, this season could unfortunately be a short one. We've already received so many responses from all of you about this, so thank you so much to everybody that has already donated and reached out. It means so much, but if you haven't had a chance to help yet, we're still offering for the first time personalized videos from us to you. That's right. For your text deductible donation, we'll send you your kids, whoever in your life you think will appreciate it. Probably your kids, let's be honest. A personalized video saying hello, Happy Birthday, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, whatever you like. You can choose a video from me or Peter or Megan or Nimini or Eric or even Rolo. This is the only time we've ever offered this and we're not going to be offering it again anytime soon. So this is your chance. Get the video for that special imaginative kid in your life and help the Story Pirates finish our season. And if you're hearing all of this and you have more significant resources to spare, we'd love to talk to you and have a conversation about becoming accredited producer on the show. If that sounds like you, drop us a line. And of course, all donations, like I said, are completely tax deductible. Get your personalized video or get in touch about a larger contribution@storypirates.com.com support that link is also in the show notes for today's episode. All right, thanks for listening to all of that and thanks for all of your support onto the show. After a few more words for the grownups.
Smitty (2:29)
Time to wake up and start my morning routine. First, I dunk my head into this giant bucket of ice water.

That's good. Next, I put on my emergency referee jersey that I secretly wear under my clothes at all times. Then I check my calendar. It's National Referee Day already. If I forgot, I suppose it's too much to expect that the rest of the story Pirates remembered. Eh, maybe it's for the best. It's hard for them to understand that a curmudgeonly old introvert like me only wants a very certain kind and amount of attention. It's okay. They Forgot.

Smitty, don't you dare think that we forgot that today is national referee day.
