Transcripts

Speaker:

You have found the super secret, special episode reserved specifically for

Speaker:

Christmas Day of different, not broken.

Speaker:

This is a very, very brief episode.

Speaker:

You might have been directed here by LinkedIn.

Speaker:

You might have been directed here by your phone saying, Hey, this

Speaker:

jackass posted a new episode.

Speaker:

I don't know.

Speaker:

Either way.

Speaker:

Happy to have you here.

Speaker:

We're talking about something incredibly special today, and

Speaker:

this one will be very, very brief.

Speaker:

But if you've been following along on LinkedIn follow, and I've dropped some

Speaker:

subtle hints throughout the last probably four to five months of this year.

Speaker:

Fun time, mouth running that I do.

Speaker:

we have been building a private community, a super top secret private community.

Speaker:

It's so top secret that I talk about it fairly regularly, go with it.

Speaker:

but I have never announced the name of it.

Speaker:

We have never shared anything specific about it, except that we were

Speaker:

piloting a Supertop secret community.

Speaker:

I said once we got to 50 members, we would cap it and then all of a sudden

Speaker:

we were at a hundred members and now we're at 170 members, which is according

Speaker:

to math, slightly more than a hundred.

Speaker:

we've tried it out.

Speaker:

We have created this super cool little corner of the internet that is

Speaker:

reserved for my fellow weirdos who are welcome at any time and at all times.

Speaker:

our community is called Quirky and it is community for the eh t social.

Speaker:

it is the best little corner of the internet and it is now

Speaker:

open for anyone to sign up.

Speaker:

The only rules are you can't be a cantankerous Jan hole.

Speaker:

you are welcome in whatever version of yourself you bring.

Speaker:

As long as it's not a cantankerous Jan. but it is a really fun little

Speaker:

place to talk about life, meet other people who are just like you, who

Speaker:

are looking for connections, but don't ever wanna leave the house.

Speaker:

or very rarely wanna leave the house.

Speaker:

That might just be me.

Speaker:

I don't know.

Speaker:

It's possible that everybody else leaves the house and it's just me.

Speaker:

That's like, this is a great place because I don't have to put shoes on.

Speaker:

I have not checked that part.

Speaker:

We do have a fair number of squabbles about pens, you

Speaker:

can sign up@alwaysquirky.com.

Speaker:

This is my Christmas gift to you is that we are opening this

Speaker:

publicly for the first time.

Speaker:

that's wild.

Speaker:

and all the information is there.

Speaker:

you'll go through a signup process.

Speaker:

You'll get approved, it's free.

Speaker:

there will eventually be other things that you can get in the community.

Speaker:

Lots of stuff going live after the first of the year.

Speaker:

But if you just want to hang out with some cool, fun people, who with no expectations

Speaker:

of shoes or pretense or masking or any of that, you can find it@alwaysquirky.com.

Speaker:

We'll be talking about it a ton more here.

Speaker:

You'll find out more about it on my LinkedIn.

Speaker:

Obviously, read the rules.

Speaker:

Make sure that you're down with not being a cantankerous Jan Hole.

Speaker:

But other than that, we can't wait to hang out with you if you celebrate

Speaker:

Merry Christmas, if you don't.

Speaker:

Mary, whatever you celebrate.

Speaker:

I'm Jewish, so obviously, hanukkah's over.
