Hello Sean, As a supporter (patron) of Carpool Gaming, I jokingly refer to us as "shareholders" investing in creators. At the end of the year, I sometimes approach community leaders to gather insights on short-term and long-term goals. To respect your time, I'll keep it brief for now and pose this singular question: **As CPG matures, what strategies do you envision for 2024 to sustain the engagement of new Patrons (and viewership outside of Patreon) everyday, while also ensuring the continued satisfaction and retention of longstanding Patrons like myself?

For all the Patrons listening to this episode who haven't jumped into a video chat like the Backtrackers or haven't made it to an  in-person meet up like Extra Life, what do you want to say to them right now to give them a gentle push and some encouragement to join? I can say with confidence that chatting in Discord is great, but video chats are even better, and in-person meetups are just S-tier and so dang special. #ExtraLife2024

You and your co hosts make a lot of non video game references when you podcast, what are some of your favorite reactions to your references?  Which is one that you thought was soo good but no one got it?

In the spirit of the American thanksgiving holidays coming up, what is the one gaming accessory that you are very thankful for? It could be a charging dock, a console stand, a hard drive, anything that you think helps or enhances your gaming experience.

For me, I am thankful for thumbgrips on my controller sticks.

Greetings Sean! So looking forward to hearing your musings on The Pants podcast this week. Question(s) from my side:

1. What has you excited about 2024?

2. What game are you most looking forward to playing next year?

3. Reflection question: When you hear - Happy New 2034!!! - what thoughts come to mind? How will your life be? What will the life of your children look like? Your wife? Your job? Carpool Gaming? How long will Seth's beard be? ;-) How many miles will Amanda have run? ;-) In all seriousness: What will have changed for you? 

Love you my friend. Keep up the good vibes and the thankful moments.

Hi Sean! Hope you're well! What made Friday nights #Xenobabe game night and merch a thing? I ask Lockleth and Amanda on 11/7 when they'd become xenobabes and Amanda told me to ask her next year. 48 hours later #Xenobabe is going crazy in the discord and then Tuesday is the big #Xenobabe reveal. Don't get me wrong I'm not complaining but I wish I was a fly on the wall to see all this develop. What's the details? I must know. Thank you and hope you have a great day!

What’s your day job like (without going into too many details) 

Is there an overlap of certain skillset with CPG?

How did you end up in the career you’re in?
