Pardon the stammering and unprofessional bits in this vid. I’m a bit emotional today, but I felt I needed to do this in a way that was as close to looking you in the eye as I could.

It’s been a good run. It’s been kindly pointed out to me that we broke most podcast averages and should be proud of what we have made. I’ve gotten some very nice feedback on the show while making this decision, and I appreciate all of your support; but it’s time to let it end and do a curtain call.

July 10, we plan to be hanging out and gaming together. Grillfriends are still grillfriends <3. If you wanna join us, lmk; unsure if we are streaming it or not. Discord is gonna be the best way to reach us in a timely manner, FYI.

This link will work for 7 days, if you’re not already in our Discord: https://discord.gg/nq7fcxmc

Here are other promised links, as well as links to what I was listening to today while trying to make myself get this done.

Spreadsheet! This is a way for you to more quickly find an episode you wanna listen to or share from our catalogue. Lesson learned, I will do this in an ongoing manner for future projects rather than having to dig through years of data: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/14dDb3Vt5xZlyJKtVt4vdCTN9mxZeUL_OExOFDXs3VnE/edit?usp=sharing
