Speaker 3: been like today, we're here to report that Nick is
Speaker 3: leaving the show.
Speaker 6: I didn't. I didn't feel like it was my placement.
Speaker 3: Did the thought cross your mind?
Speaker 6: It did?
Speaker 3: You should have?
Speaker 5: It did? And I was like, not my news.
Speaker 3: Man, Okay, it's okay. I forgive you and thank you
Speaker 3: for being considerate you like the way I started it
Speaker 3: or not? I did, And you know, I wanted to
Speaker 3: be recognized. That as my final request for being on
Speaker 3: the show, I requested that Alex start it with an
Speaker 3: Alex report. You know, I honestly did, and you honored
Speaker 3: my request.
Speaker 5: Is that the first time he ever started an episode?
Speaker 3: No, no, it can't.
Speaker 5: It's not.
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 6: No, I did back at the apartment for maybe dragons.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you had.
Speaker 5: It's just hard to remember what number was dragons. Oh.
Speaker 3: I was gonna ask, Okay, remember you have a you
Speaker 3: have a grace margin. Okay, no no, no, no, no, no, no, okay,
Speaker 3: all right, you have a grace margin of ten episodes.
Speaker 3: Here we go. The pressure's on, and what is at stake?
Speaker 5: God, dude, what was it? One is Merlin? But oh,
Speaker 5: dragons was way before that didn't but was it?
Speaker 6: Hang on?
Speaker 3: But hey, didn't Merlin like kill a fucking dragon or something?
Speaker 3: Probably he drove all this, he did, He drove all
Speaker 3: he drove all the dragons out of Ireland.
Speaker 5: No, that was the Vatican.
Speaker 3: Oh and it was yeah, damn it, you're right, Sat.
Speaker 5: Saint Patrick Patrick. Yeah, no, there is some dragons in Merlin.
Speaker 5: I just can't remember.
Speaker 3: I know what it was. He looked under the tower
Speaker 3: and there was a white baby dragon and a red baby. Remember,
Speaker 3: So what was it?
Speaker 2: Dude.
Speaker 6: I'm still trying to find it, man, Dude, it doesn't
Speaker 6: work when you search like I'm searching. Bloods said so
Speaker 6: Dragons and the first thing that comes up is a
Speaker 6: clip of the yoga episode.
Speaker 3: I just want to say that.
Speaker 6: I'm like, there, this is something. Something's very wrong with
Speaker 6: the algorithm.
Speaker 3: Algorithm is against us.
Speaker 6: I'm still working, so bear with me.
Speaker 5: Well, I should have known that because we've been here
Speaker 5: over a year and that's only fifty episodes ago, and
Speaker 5: we did the Dragons episode at the other apartment. It's
Speaker 5: just kind of hard to gauge anymore, Like after living
Speaker 5: in this house.
Speaker 3: Well, it's getting there.
Speaker 6: One three.
Speaker 5: I was kind of close but not close enough.
Speaker 6: And I think I started that one. Yeah, I'm confirming.
Speaker 3: I hadn't confirmed because I would like to know. And
Speaker 3: I love the fact that, like so many people listening
Speaker 3: to this might are like on their edge, on the
Speaker 3: edge of there's on their edge.
Speaker 5: They're on their edge the edge a little bit because
Speaker 5: they're like, what did you say?
Speaker 3: Is it really his last episode? Yes?
Speaker 5: But first long hair, I don't know that i'd say.
Speaker 3: That, No, not last episode. It's not our last episode,
Speaker 3: and we will clarify.
Speaker 6: Yes, yeah, yeah, brought it in.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you brought it in, bro.
Speaker 3: And I got long hair. Yeah, damn remember that it was.
Speaker 5: That was a fun episode. It's one of the best
Speaker 5: thumbnails ever.
Speaker 3: It is truly one of the best thumbnails.
Speaker 5: Yeah you did freaking uh you did.
Speaker 3: Start and you're wearing the exact same shirt. Wow.
Speaker 6: No I'm not. But I got the exact same haircut
Speaker 6: with almost the amount of what shadow close looking pretty similar.
Speaker 5: Except back then you were to baby and now you're
Speaker 5: the daddy.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 6: We can't get penalized for showing our own stuff in
Speaker 6: our own video, right.
Speaker 3: I was thinking, you have to like manually claim that.
Speaker 5: Yeah to be a thing.
Speaker 3: All right, fine, I'll freaking I'll explain. Dang it, let's
Speaker 3: just get into it.
Speaker 5: I'm I'm patiently waiting enough delaying.
Speaker 3: Damn it, guys, this is this is well, it's not
Speaker 3: my last episode ever. It's not my last episode ever. No,
Speaker 3: but I am leaving the show. I'm leaving the show
Speaker 3: like my regular involvement in the show at least. It
Speaker 3: all kind of it kind of just came together quick.
Speaker 3: It was like fully and completely my decision. I just
Speaker 3: like I had a feeling in my heart that I'm
Speaker 3: feeling pulled towards other projects that I'd really love to do,
Speaker 3: and I just felt it wouldn't be fair to this
Speaker 3: amazing thing that we've all built together to pull any
Speaker 3: of my energy away from this show towards those other projects.
Speaker 3: And you know, this, this show, it takes a ton
Speaker 3: of our time. We worked so so hard on this show.
Speaker 3: It takes a ton of our time. And like I
Speaker 3: was very I have been very happy to do that.
Speaker 3: For four years we've done it, and at varying amounts
Speaker 3: of time that it takes from us, I was very
Speaker 3: happy to do that. I'm so so extremely proud of
Speaker 3: us and this show and the community that has formed
Speaker 3: around us, and like serious, I couldn't be more proud.
Speaker 3: And it just it came to a point where I
Speaker 3: had this gut feeling and this feeling in my heart
Speaker 3: like it is time for me to move on to
Speaker 3: other things. And you know, I've always been I've always
Speaker 3: been like mister adhd brain, Like I have way too
Speaker 3: many interests and I like want to explore them all,
Speaker 3: and it's like I have little chapters of my life.
Speaker 3: It's always been that way. My life is like segmented
Speaker 3: into these little chapters where I'm pursuing a different passion,
Speaker 3: you know, And this one was to help you and
Speaker 3: your family make this project and get and get your
Speaker 3: story out there and help spread you know, your your
Speaker 3: message of love and light. When we started this thing,
Speaker 3: it was a different life. Your family was you know,
Speaker 3: there was no there was no book, There was no
Speaker 3: HBO documentaries happened or not HBO sorry, the History Channel
Speaker 3: documentary is happening. There wasn't. There wasn't the things that
Speaker 3: are going on now. And so you know, I saw
Speaker 3: this desperation two, like get the story out there and
Speaker 3: and and spread the message. And you know, we we
Speaker 3: had talked about, we had talked about as friends, just
Speaker 3: talked about what's what do you do? What do you whatever?
Speaker 3: And the idea of the you know, we've talked about it.
Speaker 3: Alex and I were both like simultaneously being like, start
Speaker 3: the podcast. Start a podcast. You got to start a podcast, dude,
Speaker 3: And like I never I never thought I never once
Speaker 3: thought like I could co host it. Never. But you
Speaker 3: came to me and you were like, dude, I think
Speaker 3: I'm down to do a podcast, but I only want
Speaker 3: to do it if you if you do it with me,
Speaker 3: And there was not even a thought. I was like, hell, yeah,
Speaker 3: let's do it. Whatever it takes, whatever it takes to
Speaker 3: get that ball rolling, Let's do it. We we fucking
Speaker 3: did it, like we've We've accomplished so much. And I
Speaker 3: was explaining to the team that my dream, my literal dream,
Speaker 3: being involved with this show was to make it a platform.
Speaker 3: Get it to the point where it is a platform
Speaker 3: and it has it has traction, and it has people,
Speaker 3: a community, it has legs to stand on. Get it
Speaker 3: to this place where it's grown wings and it can fly.
Speaker 3: You know, that was my dream. That's always been my
Speaker 3: dream for this show. And I think somewhere recently, I
Speaker 3: think I've subconsciously that that box has been checked in
Speaker 3: my mind and I and I think I finally took
Speaker 3: a second to look around and was like, oh, damn,
Speaker 3: what the hell. We have a there's a Neon sign,
Speaker 3: there's the walls are painted, there's a whole studio in
Speaker 3: Ryan's house. There's like we did it, we did it.
Speaker 3: Here we are and you know, it felt it felt
Speaker 3: like it was time. It's like not it has nothing
Speaker 3: to do with anything other than me. I just have
Speaker 3: I have. I like to I like to make music,
Speaker 3: I like to write, you know, stories, and I like
Speaker 3: to do all sorts of different stuff. But I'm also
Speaker 3: just like I like to casually pursue my interests. And
Speaker 3: I don't know, I'm kind of I don't know. I
Speaker 3: don't even know how I would describe it. I'm very
Speaker 3: my creativity is very volatile. It's constantly pulling me in
Speaker 3: different directions all the time. And then I think, if
Speaker 3: I'm in a place where I can't explore those things freely,
Speaker 3: I maybe start to feel a little cooped up. Maybe
Speaker 3: that's a good way to describe it. I don't know,
Speaker 3: I'm blabbing on and blabbing on.
Speaker 5: No, No, that's kind of the whole point of this.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's sad, like I'm I'm definitely it was
Speaker 3: not an easy decision to make.
Speaker 5: And just for the reference to the listener, we all
Speaker 5: had this talk for the first time last night, and
Speaker 5: obviously it came as a surprise. Yeah, and I hope
Speaker 5: it's okay that I say this, but Nick was very
Speaker 5: nervous to bring it up.
Speaker 3: Of course, dude, you can say anything.
Speaker 5: Probably wondering if we would freak out, or wondering however
Speaker 5: we would react.
Speaker 3: And I just want to say real quick, I knew
Speaker 3: in my heart that you're my best friends and that
Speaker 3: you would you would be you'd have my back. You'd
Speaker 3: be shocked and confused, but you'd have my back. It's
Speaker 3: just the it's still scary, the anxiety. Yeah, the thoughts
Speaker 3: creep in, and it's like what if they're mad. But
Speaker 3: when I would talk about it, and that's normal, when
Speaker 3: I would talk about it, I was like, there's no
Speaker 3: way they'll be mad. Sorry.
Speaker 5: Yeah, And and he was obviously like really nervous, and
Speaker 5: he came out with it, and obviously it was a
Speaker 5: big surprise, but I mean, at the end of the day,
Speaker 5: it's just like I wasn't mad at all. I was
Speaker 5: just kind of like, you know, I can't really blame
Speaker 5: you for that, and and and how you were so
Speaker 5: positive about it and so professional. Well yeah, professional too,
Speaker 5: but like so honest and upfront. And we all just
Speaker 5: kind of talked about it, and I think he stayed
Speaker 5: for like another three hours and we were just like,
Speaker 5: we are not recording to night if that let's just
Speaker 5: hang out and yeah, we all just kind of talked
Speaker 5: it over and and you know, obviously it's sad for
Speaker 5: everybody involved, but like to be very clear, like nothing
Speaker 5: will change with us, like we're, you know, still who
Speaker 5: we are, and Nick's involvement in this is still what
Speaker 5: it is and what it was. But ultimately I think
Speaker 5: we all just kind of agreed that maybe it would
Speaker 5: be best for everybody in the sense that Nick felt
Speaker 5: as if his passion for being like the grind, like
Speaker 5: this is a grind grind, Yeah, and you had been
Speaker 5: feeling yourself dwindling with that, and it just makes sense
Speaker 5: for you to not like why why would you push
Speaker 5: through that if it's not you know, like you do
Speaker 5: have to have a passion for this. This is an animal,
Speaker 5: this is a beast. I have no clue what it takes.
Speaker 3: To do this. Oh man, it's thousands. It is a
Speaker 3: it's constant. I mean, it's we have days where we
Speaker 3: relax and we have days off. But I mean, you know,
Speaker 3: we at times have a week a week and a
Speaker 3: half where it's like every single day there is something
Speaker 3: going on with the podcast that's rare, but like you know,
Speaker 3: on most occasions it's two maybe three days out of
Speaker 3: the week we've got something going on. But I mean
Speaker 3: at times will be going a week straight doing different things.
Speaker 3: It is a grind. It is a serious grind. And
Speaker 3: of course for the longest time, I'm like a like,
Speaker 3: I'm grinding and I'm doing this to help my friend
Speaker 3: and his family, and b I'm also I'm getting a
Speaker 3: ton out of this, and I enjoy this a lot,
Speaker 3: Like you know, I enjoy being involved. I get a
Speaker 3: lot of gratification for doing it. I'm proud of doing it.
Speaker 3: The lovely the lovely messages and the people that we
Speaker 3: meet in person and they tell me how you know,
Speaker 3: how much they love to hear from me and see
Speaker 3: me on the show, and how much I bring to
Speaker 3: the show, and like that is like it's been it's
Speaker 3: been so like healing for me for these four years.
Speaker 3: It's been so instrumental to the person that I've become
Speaker 3: the past four years. Like it's it's not like I'm
Speaker 3: just like I'm just I'm doing this for for Ryan
Speaker 3: and his family, and that's it. It's like, no, I
Speaker 3: got plenty out of it. I got a lot of
Speaker 3: creative gratification and a lot I got a lot of
Speaker 3: things out.
Speaker 5: Of it, a lot of fun too.
Speaker 3: Fuck are you kidding me? This has been some of
Speaker 3: the most fun I've ever had. Like it, it's been
Speaker 3: so much fun. And but but yeah, it just it's
Speaker 3: one of the I even said this to you last night,
Speaker 3: and yeah, I mean, now that we've acknowledged the timeline,
Speaker 3: it's it's a whirlwind. It all kind of happened extremely fast.
Speaker 3: We like looked at our schedule and we're like, I
Speaker 3: think it makes most sense to just go ahead and
Speaker 3: knock this out, Like let's just let's just do it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think it's just easier for everybody.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like it just it, which is crazy. It's because
Speaker 3: I was prepared fully to stay on for a while,
Speaker 3: and I told them, whatever you guys need, and we
Speaker 3: just talked about it, and ultimately we were like, I
Speaker 3: think the thing that, according to the schedule and everything else,
Speaker 3: that makes the most sense, we just we go ahead
Speaker 3: and knock it out. And like, I'm still gonna be
Speaker 3: helping to tie up the loose ends for the next
Speaker 3: few months, so however long it takes. Like I'm I'm
Speaker 3: not just like I'm out peace, you know.
Speaker 5: No, it's not like that no, no, no, I am.
Speaker 5: It's mutual and very very friendly.
Speaker 3: And yeah, there's still much.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's just like I think it's good for everybody
Speaker 5: but sad. But like sad is not always a bad thing.
Speaker 3: It's the the change. Yeah, the change part is like
Speaker 3: the it's it's heavy and it's scary, but it's like ultimately, yeah,
Speaker 3: I think I think the I think that I will
Speaker 3: Obviously I will be. I'll be happier chasing whatever the
Speaker 3: next like creative thing that I want to do is
Speaker 3: I've been just resting for a while. Oh, that'll definitely
Speaker 3: happen because another thing about me, and y'all know this,
Speaker 3: I'm lazy. I like to chill, I like to kick it,
Speaker 3: like that's my favorite thing in the world is just downtime.
Speaker 3: So I will definitely be. I'll definitely be resting for
Speaker 3: a bit. But yeah, I miss like that creative freedom
Speaker 3: and I miss like the not knowing what the next
Speaker 3: thing is gonna that's gonna pull me is and like
Speaker 3: so for me, that's very exciting and it's gonna be
Speaker 3: really awesome, And honestly, I but that the show is
Speaker 3: going to be better than ever. It's going to enter
Speaker 3: this new phase. It's evolving, it's going to enter this
Speaker 3: new thing. It's going to become something that I think
Speaker 3: is going to be incredible and better than ever. And
Speaker 3: I just I have no doubt in my mind that
Speaker 3: this is going to be not just like a pretty part.
Speaker 3: This is going to be a very positive thing for
Speaker 3: all of us for sure.
Speaker 5: Sure hope. So I don't know what the future holds.
Speaker 5: I had to have a good feeling about it. I mean,
Speaker 5: it's just I think it's up to me proving to
Speaker 5: myself that I've come into my personal confidence to.
Speaker 3: You know what, man, you have? I know you have.
Speaker 3: That is maybe the first thing that I thought when
Speaker 3: when this decision kind of came upon me, because that's
Speaker 3: really what it feels like it came on it.
Speaker 5: The decision happened, came upon you. The phrasing there was
Speaker 5: a little crazy for from within you.
Speaker 3: It blasted all over me. And and I feel like,
Speaker 3: you know, one of the first things that I thought
Speaker 3: was Ryan's ready. He's He's good. He is he is
Speaker 3: more confident than ever. He is like fired up that
Speaker 3: the passion is burning super hot inside of him, like
Speaker 3: it's it's he he is. I have no doubt in
Speaker 3: my mind. And Alex obviously Alex has had this ship
Speaker 3: on lock since day one. Alex is fantastic at his job.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and and nothing's gonna change, Like I mean, obviously
Speaker 5: things are going to change, but the show will go
Speaker 5: on and Alex and I are going to continue to
Speaker 5: do the show. That's not going to change. Obviously, Nick
Speaker 5: will no longer be here. Uh ultimately, though, what in
Speaker 5: a perfect world for me, it would be whenever you want,
Speaker 5: you come visit it, and you come, I'm a pop
Speaker 5: few episodes, I'm a pop in.
Speaker 3: You know, you know I'm a pop in. I literally
Speaker 3: live two minutes from here.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and like if you got something going on, Hey,
Speaker 5: you know we're putting out a new song, or you're
Speaker 5: working on this, or you just want to come and
Speaker 5: you want to join, Like I think, in a perfect
Speaker 5: world it would be nice if every now and then
Speaker 5: you came in, you you joined us for the show.
Speaker 3: I will, yeah, I will absolutely be doing that for sure,
Speaker 3: without a doubt. You'll this isn't the last time you'll
Speaker 3: see me. I'm gonna I'll be back. I'm still gonna anytime.
Speaker 3: There's music that needs to be done for this show.
Speaker 3: It's still gonna be me. You you better believe that
Speaker 3: any any any music you hear on this show is me.
Speaker 3: It'll always be me. That's like, that's.
Speaker 5: Laying is clean. Oh, we don't know anybody else anyway. Man,
Speaker 5: I think I think you.
Speaker 3: Have that unlocked back off all of y'all.
Speaker 5: It don't be coming from him.
Speaker 3: That's my job.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you've got that job. You have earned it. You
Speaker 5: have earned it. Okay, Yeah, don't you worry about that.
Speaker 3: Uh huh So yeah, and I'm and again I'm gonna
Speaker 3: pop in. We already talked about like if we go
Speaker 3: see a cool movie together and we're like, damn, this
Speaker 3: will make a fire episode, like why not, or if.
Speaker 5: It's been a few months and you're just like, man,
Speaker 5: I kind of misrecording a little bit, Hey, come to
Speaker 5: an episode, you know, Like I think it's just it
Speaker 5: doesn't have to be like the forever end. It doesn't
Speaker 5: have to be like that.
Speaker 3: No, it's not gonna be.
Speaker 5: It's just I get it. Like even though it was
Speaker 5: hard to hear in the moment, and to be clear,
Speaker 5: like I never was like oh fuck, you know, like
Speaker 5: I mean you saw me immediately, I was like I'm
Speaker 5: not mad, dude, I'm not mad. I'm just confused as
Speaker 5: it came out of it. It was just a lot
Speaker 5: to think about. But I do think ultimately you'll be
Speaker 5: more happy. I think that the show will be able
Speaker 5: to always continue to grind no matter what. It's not
Speaker 5: gonna die. It might hurt for a little bit, we
Speaker 5: might feel a little bit of like, Okay, how are
Speaker 5: we gonna go from here? But ultimately it will survive.
Speaker 5: It's not the end of the world, you know, and.
Speaker 3: It is always right hard, Okay.
Speaker 5: It is what it is. I just have a lot
Speaker 5: of growing to do now. And Alex doesn't need to
Speaker 5: change one bait. He's an angel, he's a barballs, Yeah
Speaker 5: he is.
Speaker 3: So.
Speaker 5: I just I have a little bit of growing to
Speaker 5: do and and to be honest.
Speaker 3: With you, that excites me, dude, that yes it does.
Speaker 5: It doesn't scare me.
Speaker 3: You have grown, and I think you'll you'll I think
Speaker 3: you're just a little like nervous now about it. I
Speaker 3: think very quickly you'll realize like, oh, dude, I got
Speaker 3: this ship. You got this ship. You do You've already
Speaker 3: grown a ton, You've grown so much, like you have
Speaker 3: this ship on lock. Uh, this show, this show is
Speaker 3: not going anywhere like long lived Ledsoe said, so one
Speaker 3: thousand percent, it is not going anywhere. It's just, you know,
Speaker 3: it just it just the timing, the timing felt right.
Speaker 3: It just did. And it was this kind of unspeakable thing.
Speaker 3: I told you that. It just hit me. It. I
Speaker 3: just got this feeling like it's time, and I got
Speaker 3: this feel in my gut, this feeling in my heart.
Speaker 3: I talked to some people about it, but I mean,
Speaker 3: you know, I came to I came to my decision.
Speaker 3: This all happened within like the whole thing of it
Speaker 3: happened within a week. Like, yeah, it all happened within
Speaker 3: a week.
Speaker 5: And then we literally talked about it just a little
Speaker 5: over twenty four hours ago and here we are. You know,
Speaker 5: It's like, it's it's not easy for anybody. I think
Speaker 5: that because of change.
Speaker 3: Change is hard.
Speaker 5: Change is hard, and it can be scary. But I
Speaker 5: do think ultimately we all feel like it's not the
Speaker 5: end of the world. No, yeah, it's gonna be all right.
Speaker 3: Yeah it will, It absolutely will. It will, And like
Speaker 3: we're we're always going to be best friends. I'm staying
Speaker 3: in Wilmington, like it's it's just.
Speaker 5: Still making a little bit of music together.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, oh yeah. See, honestly, we.
Speaker 5: Are pretty close to finishing a twice more song.
Speaker 3: I'm just saying, well, yeah, yeah, he is. But no,
Speaker 3: we we are. We are because we had a We
Speaker 3: never had time to work on it never, never, man, never,
Speaker 3: So hopefully we can. Let's acknowledge let's acknowledge the the
Speaker 3: death of Ears and Gimbal.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, no, that is important. We have to acknowledge.
Speaker 3: That the death of Ears and Gimble. This all happened
Speaker 3: so incredibly blindingly fast, guys that we we just but
Speaker 3: the way that the timing was.
Speaker 5: Well, yeah, it's that plus like Alex is having a
Speaker 5: baby in like three two four months. Dude, I was
Speaker 5: gonna say three. I don't know why I went to two,
Speaker 5: but shit, man, it's real close. Like we have a
Speaker 5: lot of change coming, yes, and Alex and I just
Speaker 5: kind of felt like we we don't have time to
Speaker 5: make the change in the future. We need to be
Speaker 5: prepared now.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: And that's like, you know, it's just there's a lot
Speaker 5: on everybody's plate right now, and it's just like.
Speaker 6: Well, first of all, Gimbal and Ears are not dead. Okay,
Speaker 6: they're living their best life in Rome Kingdom. Yeah, they
Speaker 6: did have a pretty happy.
Speaker 3: So yeah, do do we think they just stay there now?
Speaker 4: That's where they are, stay there, okay, and it's I mean,
Speaker 4: I think it's a safe place for them to.
Speaker 3: Do their gods to those people call it an early retirement.
Speaker 5: Bro Gimble's married literally a.
Speaker 3: God in a lot.
Speaker 5: They're about to be brothers in law. I mean, it's
Speaker 5: a pretty that's kind of a fairy tale. Although we
Speaker 5: didn't know it was the end while we were filming that,
Speaker 5: and we literally found out last night that that was
Speaker 5: the end, which we recorded that weeks ago.
Speaker 3: By yes, weeks ago.
Speaker 5: At the moment, we had no clue that was the end.
Speaker 5: I have to say that it's like on ironically probably
Speaker 5: the best, the best, the whole wedding.
Speaker 3: Let me oh. And also the fact that like people
Speaker 3: have no clue what we're talking about. Yeah, well, we
Speaker 3: played Dungeons and Dragons on Patreon for months, for months.
Speaker 3: We we did a lot of episodes. But anyway, to
Speaker 3: the people who do know what we're talking about, this
Speaker 3: is for you. Yeah, I'll just go ahead and say
Speaker 3: that was gonna get way worse. It was gonna get,
Speaker 3: It was gonna get so dark. You guys probably would
Speaker 3: have died to that dragon man. And but maybe who knows.
Speaker 5: I doubt it.
Speaker 3: Honestly, were you guys were pulling off some crazy We
Speaker 3: were miracle workers. You guys were honestly miracle workers. So
Speaker 3: I can't say that. I really can't say that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think we would have proved you wrong time
Speaker 5: and time again, and we did.
Speaker 3: Because I didn't. Here's a perfect example. Here's example number one.
Speaker 3: That last mission that you guys did, and this, like again,
Speaker 3: most people have no idea what we're talking about. You
Speaker 3: made like seven consecutive choices back to back that were
Speaker 3: all the exact choice that needed to be made to
Speaker 3: instantly fight the main boss. Like you, you basically rolled
Speaker 3: up to your quest and went straight to the final
Speaker 3: boss of it, which was like not supposed to happen.
Speaker 6: It obliterated him.
Speaker 3: Yes, the statistical anomaly of just that alone is crazy.
Speaker 3: And then you just like embarrassed. You just rolled perfectly
Speaker 3: and it just cascaded and you killed the thing. I
Speaker 3: I when you guys got into the room with the boss,
Speaker 3: I was like, they are dead. I was fully like
Speaker 3: they're dead.
Speaker 5: I guess it's okay for me to see now, because
Speaker 5: who knows if we'll ever get the opportunity to do that.
Speaker 5: I mean, you never know. We might could say, hey,
Speaker 5: you want to do a couple more. I don't know, Yeah,
Speaker 5: we know we have maybe not maybe, But I'm just
Speaker 5: saying anything's possible. I don't know. Yes, you know, but
Speaker 5: as of now, it seems like it's probably never happening again.
Speaker 5: And and I just want to say I never said
Speaker 5: this on the show. You guys can reveal whatever you
Speaker 5: want about your side of things. You just revealed your side.
Speaker 5: But for the side of gimbal'saw fit, I never like
Speaker 5: verbally said this until the wedding part. But from the start,
Speaker 5: my whole thing with him was that he was possessed
Speaker 5: by like dozens of demons, and that's why every now
Speaker 5: and then he But I I knew that from from
Speaker 5: my side, but wouldn't say it because that's why he
Speaker 5: would like be like, oh, we should kill this dude. No, actually,
Speaker 5: I don't know. That's not a good idea. And he
Speaker 5: would say, like, really good things are really bad things,
Speaker 5: because it's just a whole thing. But like I had
Speaker 5: a very in depth thing with this character. And what
Speaker 5: I didn't tell you guys is that as he leveled up,
Speaker 5: I was gonna make his insanity higher. But oh well,
Speaker 5: it was fun while it lasted. He was a crazy character.
Speaker 5: It was really fun. He was he was for those
Speaker 5: who didn't watch it. I think like eight people watched
Speaker 5: it anyway, he was a He was a like a
Speaker 5: warlock gnome who like had been peering too much into
Speaker 5: like Eldritch occult texts. And I think at one point
Speaker 5: at the wedding scene or something, I'd made a comment
Speaker 5: about like there's dark voices whispering from me every boy,
Speaker 5: and you guys were like, what the hell is that?
Speaker 6: When you pull the ears aside, I think.
Speaker 3: Something like every time you mentioned a number of voices
Speaker 3: that got bigger. Yeah, And then there was that one
Speaker 3: time that you tried to knock on his door and
Speaker 3: he didn't hear it, and so you just started talking
Speaker 3: to the demons in the hallway. You were literally just
Speaker 3: talking to them, like multiple demons just talking to him
Speaker 3: in the hallway.
Speaker 5: And we were like, but that's why every episode got
Speaker 5: crazy and crazy. I didn't explicitly tell you guys that
Speaker 5: until the very end.
Speaker 6: But well ears heard it coming from a while away.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I think I did here and there.
Speaker 5: But it was just really fun. I was really like
Speaker 5: getting into it.
Speaker 3: Doing a good job. Because that last session that we did,
Speaker 3: I was like, what the fuck is going on with him?
Speaker 3: I was like, what has happened? He is like so
Speaker 3: off the rails right now.
Speaker 5: But I also had a whole redemption arc planned out
Speaker 5: for him where he was going to be like restored
Speaker 5: by the light and all the all the demand, the
Speaker 5: demonic forces would be gone. But you know, like it is, Yeah,
Speaker 5: it is what it is. It was fun.
Speaker 3: Maybe we'll get it, maybe we'll get the chance to finish.
Speaker 5: In my head for weeks, I was thinking on a
Speaker 5: on a like a redemption arc, and that's kind of
Speaker 5: why I went away with the wedding.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, which also one of the funniest, Like I
Speaker 3: brought me to tears. That was so funny. The fact
Speaker 3: that he's been prepping Ears. Gimbal has been prepping Ears,
Speaker 3: Like listen for weeks. You don't you don't want to
Speaker 3: see the gnome women, dude, They're ugly that you don't.
Speaker 3: They're disgusting, freaking creatures.
Speaker 5: Freaks.
Speaker 3: The freaks by the way, Yeah, his character is a gnome.
Speaker 3: He's like, I'm telling you, I'm telling you the Gnome women.
Speaker 3: You don't want any part of it. You don't. And
Speaker 3: then and the whole time Ears is like, I don't know, man,
Speaker 3: Like we see like maybe you know, maybe who knows,
Speaker 3: Maybe I'll be really into it. And You're like, I'm
Speaker 3: telling you, dude, they're gross, they're ugly.
Speaker 4: They'll get it out of your mind, right, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: The first Gnome woman you met in the campaign, you
Speaker 3: immediately professed your love for her and proposed and you
Speaker 3: rolled so well all that she.
Speaker 5: And married me immediately. It was pretty hilarious. You rolled
Speaker 5: in like several episodes back when and when I was like, Alex,
Speaker 5: you choose or Ears or whatever. We had a quest
Speaker 5: to choose between like dwarves and Domes, and that was
Speaker 5: like hours previous into the campaign. I was like, no, no, no,
Speaker 5: f the Gnomes, dude, I don't want to go help them.
Speaker 3: Like it was.
Speaker 5: It was set up.
Speaker 3: From the beginning.
Speaker 5: That was a lot of fun. I am a little
Speaker 5: sad we don't get to resolve it, but it's okay.
Speaker 6: Well, they'll still be up. We're not taking the Boys down.
Speaker 3: But but.
Speaker 5: It goes without saying that we did plan that show
Speaker 5: with Nick. We had been talking about it for years.
Speaker 5: Nobody saw this coming, not even Nick. He just kind
Speaker 5: of made this decision suddenly, and obviously we respect that,
Speaker 5: and he was, you know, very honest and upfront about it.
Speaker 5: He came to us, he was very nervous, and me
Speaker 5: and Alex and Jenny we were all like, dude, we're
Speaker 5: not mad. It's you gotta do what you gotta do,
Speaker 5: you gotta be happy, and we all just kind of decided,
Speaker 5: like I said, it's best for everybody. But with that
Speaker 5: being said, not really any reason for me and Alex
Speaker 5: to continue Green Boys without Nick anymore. So we're going
Speaker 5: to stop recording prow Yeah, we're not going to delete it.
Speaker 5: We're not going to take it down. We're going to
Speaker 5: kind of restructure and figure out what we're going to
Speaker 5: do with the future of that tier. If anything, we
Speaker 5: deeply and sincerely appreciate you guys supporting us, if it
Speaker 5: was for that show, if not, if you just support
Speaker 5: the ten dollars tier because you just want to give us,
Speaker 5: you know, like some sort of financial support and you
Speaker 5: don't care about the benefits, that's great. Thank you. If
Speaker 5: you do it for the other benefits like the fifteen
Speaker 5: percent discount and the new feature we added where it's
Speaker 5: like your name is on the like the donor list
Speaker 5: on the episodes, great, thank you absolutely for all of that.
Speaker 5: For whatever reason, I don't care what it is, thank you,
Speaker 5: thank you. But if it's for the Green Boys show,
Speaker 5: we are very sorry. We're not going to continue with that.
Speaker 5: It's just kind of sudden for everybody, and it's like
Speaker 5: Alex and I have to now figure out how to
Speaker 5: do all of this just the two of us. So
Speaker 5: we're going to focus on the main show and full
Speaker 5: disclosure and just kind of learn what the future of
Speaker 5: that is going to be in the meantime.
Speaker 3: And like I said, I am I am here to
Speaker 3: help in absolutely any way that I can. I really
Speaker 3: want to make this transition as easy as possible for everybody.
Speaker 3: Like seriously, I hope that you guys lean on me
Speaker 3: and like whatever you need, genuinely, I know how and
Speaker 3: you're right, Like it was sudden for me and I
Speaker 3: want that to be super super clear as well. Like
Speaker 3: I first had this feeling talk to people made the decision,
Speaker 3: and by people, I literally mean my wife and my
Speaker 3: family and family and made the decision and told them
Speaker 3: with all within a week from first having the feeling
Speaker 3: to we are now right now. It is all within
Speaker 3: a week.
Speaker 5: I mean you you were honest about it every bit
Speaker 5: of the way.
Speaker 3: I didn't want I didn't want any time to I
Speaker 3: literally told you, guys the very next time I saw you, Yeah,
Speaker 3: because I was like that, there's I'm not gonna there,
Speaker 3: I don't know, like full transparency, no bullshit. Let's just
Speaker 3: we are a team. Let's let's figure this out together.
Speaker 3: So it's it's extremely sudden for for everybody, but like, yeah,
Speaker 3: I very much want to help in absolutely any way
Speaker 3: that I can to to see you guys through to
Speaker 3: the next phase of this show. We're like, I'm still
Speaker 3: for for the you know, for the foreseeable future, Like
Speaker 3: consider me a part of the team. Still, I want
Speaker 3: to help this thing transition cleanly to the next phase.
Speaker 3: It's it's difficult, and you know, it's weird and it's
Speaker 3: it's awkward, but I appreciate you guys being so cool
Speaker 3: about it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, same to you, man, Like that, just the fact
Speaker 5: that you were so honest about it and everything, Like
Speaker 5: nobody can fault you for that.
Speaker 3: No, you guys are my best friends. I love you guys,
Speaker 3: and like I owe that to you as my best friends,
Speaker 3: to just be completely honest and like and in a way,
Speaker 3: I'm glad we're just going ahead and knocking this out
Speaker 3: because I can just be open and honest with the
Speaker 3: listeners as well. To to anyone who may be disappointed,
Speaker 3: I'm I'm genuinely sorry, but like you know, you got
Speaker 3: the you got the big guns over here, these these two,
Speaker 3: these two, you got the big guns. Still okay, like
Speaker 3: this this shit ain't going nowhere. But I want to say,
Speaker 3: like from the bottom of my heart, that everybody who's

Speaker 5: Yeah, it is, but it's it's not bad.
Speaker 3: No, And I don't I know it's not bad because
Speaker 3: I don't. It doesn't feel like, it doesn't feel like
Speaker 3: it's the end, and it's it's completely you.
Speaker 5: Know, I'm openly telling you, like, please come on the
Speaker 5: show whenever.
Speaker 3: You want exactly. It doesn't feel like, oh it's you know, No,
Speaker 3: it's I'm not gonna be here all the time. I'm
Speaker 3: not gonna you're still but you're still gonna see me.
Speaker 3: You're still gonna see me every now and then, every
Speaker 3: now and then.
Speaker 5: Every now and then. He'll be like an honorable guest
Speaker 5: that every now and then pops on. But you know,
Speaker 5: if if if he feels like it, or it's just whenever,
Speaker 5: you know, But no, I mean, it is what it is,
Speaker 5: bro And at the end of the day, like it's
Speaker 5: it's gonna live on me and Alex. We can do this.
Speaker 5: It won't be the same for I don't know what
Speaker 5: it'll be, but it's gonna be yes, and that's what matters,
Speaker 5: you know, Like it'll keep going.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it must it, Alex, you're want to tell me
Speaker 3: how much you're gonna miss me or what?
Speaker 6: I guess I can do that.
Speaker 3: I'm kidding.
Speaker 5: No, No, we're gonna have to get rid of your
Speaker 5: kill switch. You don't need that.
Speaker 6: I know it's dying anyway.
Speaker 5: It doesn't away half the time.
Speaker 7: Promotion, promotion and a pay raise and more attention, which
Speaker 7: is that you used to complain about that a lot.
Speaker 7: Remember now, Remember he's like, you don't give me the
Speaker 7: attention you give it.
Speaker 5: Now he's gonna get every bit of it. I'm just
Speaker 5: teasing you. Pretty soon it's about it just be me
Speaker 5: and you.
Speaker 3: Man. I know, man, it's gonna get intimate in this room.
Speaker 4: I wish the fan had a higher setting, get a
Speaker 4: little hot. You guys are going I struggle, Nick, I
Speaker 4: struggle with the emotional stuff, and I don't feel like
Speaker 4: I can say something that hadn't been said, and I
Speaker 4: really echo both of you guys, and and just with
Speaker 4: everything you know being so sudden, it is the The
Speaker 4: sad for me really comes from thinking back to all
Speaker 4: the good times in the last four years, and there's
Speaker 4: been a lot of them, and uh no, I think about.
Speaker 4: What I want to think about often is putting together
Speaker 4: the little compilation at the end of episode one hundred,
Speaker 4: and there was a bunch of really fun snippets in there,
Speaker 4: a lot of you.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, man, I'm gonna miss hiding from.
Speaker 3: You behind this Uh you're doing it right now.
Speaker 6: Behind this computer.
Speaker 3: You can't see me right now, I can't see you.
Speaker 5: The part that sucks for me the most is like
Speaker 5: all the times that they don't see that we're not recording,
Speaker 5: that we're like laughing and cutting up when we're getting
Speaker 5: ready to record, and like that dynamic is going to
Speaker 5: be different. I'm not saying that it won't be fun still,
Speaker 5: but it'll just be different because you're saying I'm not funny. No, no,
Speaker 5: don't yeah, yeah, I'm gonna leave the show.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is gonna be you an no.
Speaker 5: But seriously, I'm not saying I'm not saying that the
Speaker 5: studio saying yes, you can We're just gonna be it's
Speaker 5: just gonna be different. We're gonna be missing one person,
Speaker 5: you know, it's it's gonna be a completely new thing.
Speaker 5: And it's like I just think it's you know, it
Speaker 5: is what it is. That's what I think about the most.
Speaker 5: All the times we laugh, Yeah, that we've had, We've
Speaker 5: truly had.
Speaker 3: Like some incredible times these past four years. Like I
Speaker 3: will remember these times the rest of my life. It's changed,
Speaker 3: met some amazing people, met so many incredible people. I mean, yeah,
Speaker 3: I'm so happy to have met the people that we've
Speaker 3: met through doing this, and you know, especially my you know,
Speaker 3: the the most meaningful and the my favorite people that
Speaker 3: I have met doing this are the people that we've met,
Speaker 3: you know, doing doing these festivals and the people that
Speaker 3: come out to show support and like being able to
Speaker 3: connect with you guys in that way in person and
Speaker 3: like hug you and talk to you and hear your
Speaker 3: story and hear learn about you, like like that's been
Speaker 3: my absolute favorite part of doing this show, among so
Speaker 3: many other things. Of course, I've gotten to meet some
Speaker 3: incredible people on the show as well. I mean, you know,
Speaker 3: Cameron Mizel was like my childhood hero that like that
Speaker 3: was such a cool thing. You know, Aaron and Helen,
Speaker 3: they're like the coolest people in the world. That was
Speaker 3: so cool to meet them. I mean, there's a we
Speaker 3: just talked to gohan on on on yeah, on a
Speaker 3: zoom call, like that was crazy. Like you know that
Speaker 3: there's been some absolutely mind blowing, incredible experiences with this show.
Speaker 3: But my absolute the peak of doing this for me
Speaker 3: is exactly what you said. It's the it's it's like
Speaker 3: the silly, the silly moments in between, and you know,
Speaker 3: it's awesome that that isn't going anywhere, right because we're
Speaker 3: all friends, Like we're still all best friends, and we all,
Speaker 3: thank god, we all live like within a literal two
Speaker 3: minute radius.
Speaker 5: Well, now now that Alex and I will probably just
Speaker 5: be meeting once a week to do the podcast. Now
Speaker 5: because Green Boys pretty much, as far as you know,
Speaker 5: won't exist, we should make efforts to like, let's just
Speaker 5: like get together and do shit.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 5: Hey, spoiler, Jenny might be getting me a bicycle for
Speaker 5: my birthday next week. Really, I know, you guys, skate,
Speaker 5: I kind of have fantasized about just like scooting along
Speaker 5: beside you guys, while you skate. I think that I
Speaker 5: kind of I kind of have a personal goal of
Speaker 5: mine to like try to skate across the highway to
Speaker 5: y'alls neighborhood, not skate bike bike.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, And either way, I'm just saying, like, there's so
Speaker 5: much fun stuff we can do that we'll have more
Speaker 5: time for it.
Speaker 3: And you know, yes, one of the things that I
Speaker 3: also said, and this is one of those this is
Speaker 3: one of those double edged swords situations that you don't
Speaker 3: really see happening until you really analyze it. But one
Speaker 3: of the things that I'm looking this wasn't a motivator,
Speaker 3: but one of the things I'm very much looking forward
Speaker 3: to is like just being you guys friend again.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's definitely a benefit.
Speaker 3: I see that as a major benefit. Not to say
Speaker 3: that we like haven't been friends.
Speaker 5: But we've been grinding for four years.
Speaker 3: It's like every time, basically every time that we see
Speaker 3: each other, it's we're doing something with the podcast and
Speaker 3: that's cool because it's a grind.
Speaker 5: And we and Alex and I love the grind absolutely
Speaker 5: know that's that's okay, And it's also okay that you
Speaker 5: don't want to continue, you know what I mean, like
Speaker 5: it's just it's all okay.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, but yeah, I'm I am, I am looking
Speaker 3: forward to like just I'm just being your just being
Speaker 3: your homie again, like seriously, but like you know, since
Speaker 3: we were twelve years old, we've been homies. And I've
Speaker 3: been sitting somewhere in your proximity hearing you talk about
Speaker 3: you and your family and talking with you about the phenomenon.
Speaker 3: And that is never going to change. That's that's always
Speaker 3: been a big part of our relationship.
Speaker 5: Yeah, It's been a lot more than that too, like
Speaker 5: making music.
Speaker 3: Of course, of course, I mean we have making music
Speaker 3: and beating the shit out of each other and street
Speaker 3: fighter and chasing each other around.
Speaker 5: And we had.
Speaker 3: Huh, we had the show. We had Reu and Ken
Speaker 3: on the show. How insane is that? Just making stupid
Speaker 3: little videos together, chasing each other around in ninja costumes
Speaker 3: like we've always but but but a constant has been
Speaker 3: We're sitting, We're talking about the phenomenon, We're talking about
Speaker 3: your families experiences and our mutual experiences. That's that's just
Speaker 3: never gonna change. I mean, they will always be doing
Speaker 3: that and all of that other stuff. I am ready
Speaker 3: to don the ninja gear once again and chase you
Speaker 3: around in the rain.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I know that does sound lovely.
Speaker 3: Doesn't it?
Speaker 5: Yeah, it does.
Speaker 3: We did that. I chased you around for an hour
Speaker 3: in the rain. You know.
Speaker 5: Can I tell you something I was I've been so
Speaker 5: busy lately, but I was fully planning and I already
Speaker 5: had it all out in my mind. I was fully
Speaker 5: planning on writing another script for Green Boys where you
Speaker 5: guys were gonna be a pirate in Ninja and I
Speaker 5: was gonna buy like full head and toe costumes. But
Speaker 5: you saying the ninja thing just reminded me of that.
Speaker 3: But oh my god, that's that's amazing. I'm gonna miss
Speaker 3: doing Green Boys.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna miss wearing the ridiculous costumes. Is just and
Speaker 5: just like the role plays and like I feel like
Speaker 5: I feel like we were getting deeper and deeper into
Speaker 5: that to where it was like kind of hard to
Speaker 5: break character towards the end. Oh yeah, like the last
Speaker 5: two or three, Like I refused to like I didn't
Speaker 5: want like, do you remember when you were like are
Speaker 5: you saying this out louder in your thoughts for a
Speaker 5: little bit there, I kind of refused to answer you.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I had.
Speaker 5: I didn't want to break as you like three or
Speaker 5: four times, I was like, I didn't want to break.
Speaker 3: You know, you were actively ignoring me.
Speaker 5: It was getting harder and harder to get out of
Speaker 5: the character. I mean, I was kind of getting lost
Speaker 5: in the insanity. I'm gonna miss that. Yeah, yeah, I'm
Speaker 5: gonna miss that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like, I don't know, we could we could play
Speaker 3: D and D in our free time.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 3: We can include our wives. We've been talking about doing
Speaker 3: that for a long time, and we it sounds like
Speaker 3: we're all gonna have a little bit more time, you know,
Speaker 3: you guys only doing the episode once a week and
Speaker 3: then me doing whatever the hell I'm gonna be doing.
Speaker 3: We could do a little campaign. I don't know, man,
Speaker 3: I'm just saying it. Maybe maybe, maybe, just maybe you
Speaker 3: guys can just migrate your characters over.
Speaker 5: Yeah that's funny, man. I'm I'm excited about doing some
Speaker 5: more twice born.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, absolutely that that's that's gonna be pedal to
Speaker 3: the metal like that. You know that is gonna be
Speaker 3: going really hard. I've been working on that.
Speaker 5: Like you'll always you'll always have us to be able
Speaker 5: to amplify that and you know, promote that and talk
Speaker 5: about that to people, and you know, yeah, it's like
Speaker 5: some sort of vehicle to just like get people aware
Speaker 5: of it. And you know, obviously like this is a
Speaker 5: platform or if you ever want to talk about that
Speaker 5: or whatever you're working on. Still haven't even done the
Speaker 5: episode about Emily's album.
Speaker 3: We're yeah, and and by the way, I'm down to
Speaker 3: come on for that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, absolutely, yeah, sure have two chairs now.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm absolutely still down to come on for that. Like, yeah,
Speaker 3: Emily's album, uh Colors is out now. Emily Holloway, I'm
Speaker 3: sure you've all listen to it at this point. I
Speaker 3: produced it. We've been working on it for two and
Speaker 3: a half years. If you haven't heard it, go listen
Speaker 3: to it.
Speaker 5: It's fantastic.
Speaker 3: Emily Halloway.
Speaker 5: Teddy loves the song that he's on. Of course, he
Speaker 5: just listens to it over and over and over.
Speaker 3: And that happened. That happens so well, well, I'll save
Speaker 3: it for her episode, but that was definitely was very spontaneous.
Speaker 3: He just like ran in and we were like, oh,
Speaker 3: Teddy's here, and the mic was hot and I was
Speaker 3: like and it just all happened organically, but yeah, we'll
Speaker 3: cover that in an episode. I would like to if possible,
Speaker 3: like the next time you guys do a discord live,
Speaker 3: like I could do it like a little send off
Speaker 3: of that as well, like.
Speaker 5: If you want, Yeah, that sounds great.
Speaker 3: I would love to do that. It sounds great because it's.
Speaker 5: Like we're still going to do those.
Speaker 3: If I would love to have my final discord, I
Speaker 3: don't want it, just like i'd love to.
Speaker 5: Dude, you don't like, yeah, if you want.
Speaker 3: To do it, yeah, yeah, I would love to. So, yeah,
Speaker 3: was not a problem. We'll figure out when that's happening.
Speaker 3: And I want to be there to talk to everybody,
Speaker 3: and you.
Speaker 5: Know, yeah, you're like gonna be old Uncle Nick that
Speaker 5: lives in the garage now.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, or like the stoner uncle that that's always
Speaker 3: like blasting metal music loud and like yeah, you're just like, yeah,
Speaker 3: you can go talk to him whenever you want, but
Speaker 3: don't stay too long. Your brain will start to rot.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you might start asking for money. I need some cigarettes.
Speaker 3: I need money for cigarettes and booze, go tell your
Speaker 3: mom to get me some.
Speaker 5: Anything we missed anything? I mean, I think we pretty
Speaker 5: much hit everything important.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I think I think that's it. That's
Speaker 3: that's most of it. I love you guys, love you too,
Speaker 3: and I'm so.
Speaker 5: I love you too. That thing way, man, you don't
Speaker 5: need that kill. I don't need it every time, every
Speaker 5: time I Alex talks. The reason there's a delay is
Speaker 5: because he has to bring his my phone down and
Speaker 5: then he has to click a button that activates it.
Speaker 5: I'm done with it. You don't need it anymore or no.
Speaker 5: What he's been promoted, right, He's literally been promoted to
Speaker 5: yourself a favor. I think it's official to say that
Speaker 5: that co host title is dissolved and Alex is a producer,
Speaker 5: which even though his role isn't the same, he's being promoted.
Speaker 3: Now, but he could be he producer slash co host.
Speaker 5: I don't think. I think I think it diminishes the
Speaker 5: value if his title changes. I think we could just
Speaker 5: say his title has now become more important co pro
Speaker 5: ho oh, I mean if that would make you happy?
Speaker 3: Man? You can you know what? Along with your promotion
Speaker 3: comes the ability to you can now you can now
Speaker 3: create your own.
Speaker 5: Title, sure the Emperor.
Speaker 3: For all I get is, do you want to be
Speaker 3: co pro ho.
Speaker 6: No, I want to think about that.
Speaker 3: Power is already going to his head.
Speaker 6: I'm going to use my vacation that i've been back on,
Speaker 6: but that i've been back by the time you're hearing this,
Speaker 6: to think about my new title, and then I might
Speaker 6: create a new LinkedIn.
Speaker 5: Oh my god, no, linked god hack. I mean, producer
Speaker 5: just got a lot more valuable.
Speaker 3: So yeah, anyway, I love you too. I love you,
Speaker 3: and I love everybody who's listening and who supports the show.

Speaker 5: I think true growth happens when you get uncomfortable, when
Speaker 5: you stretch, and you like just go face forward into
Speaker 5: fear and to discomfort and like, it's okay. I don't
Speaker 5: feel negative about it. I don't feel scared about it.
Speaker 5: I think it's okay to feel sad while also feeling positive.
Speaker 5: They don't have to conflict, you know what I mean,
Speaker 5: and like it is what it is. But yeah, yeah,
Speaker 5: I feel I feel okay about it. Like and when
