1
00:00:00.520 --> 00:00:05.799
I sincerely debated starting this with the
audio of Matthew McConaughey crying from Interstellar.

2
00:00:08.080 --> 00:00:12.839
So I have an announcement to make. This is the last episode I watched

3
00:00:12.839 --> 00:00:17.239
this tonight. Yeah, we made
it. This will be one hundred and

4
00:00:17.320 --> 00:00:23.000
forty five episodes. It has been
so fun. I have loved every minute

5
00:00:23.000 --> 00:00:27.440
of it. It's been so cool
interacting with you the listeners, and talking

6
00:00:27.440 --> 00:00:30.359
about what we're watching and kind of
laughing with each other about, you know,

7
00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:34.399
what we're up to and what we
find good bad out there in the

8
00:00:34.439 --> 00:00:39.960
world. I absolutely am sure that
I'm going to forget some people, and

9
00:00:40.039 --> 00:00:44.039
if I do, please forgive me. But I want to shout out for

10
00:00:44.159 --> 00:00:48.159
sure some like, you know,
longtime listeners, people that I've interacted with

11
00:00:48.200 --> 00:00:53.439
a lot, My guy Omar,
my friend ap everyone who wrote a review

12
00:00:53.439 --> 00:00:57.840
of the show, Sean Ryan,
James, Jefferson, Nicole, Lexei,

13
00:00:58.479 --> 00:01:03.159
Nathaniel Nauart, Flip Clark, Brandon
Cocherell, Benjamin Charobani, Stephen Cope for

14
00:01:03.799 --> 00:01:07.760
my buddy in Nearaje, Everybody,
Jesse, Everybody, Miles Doina Hoffman,

15
00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:14.120
my sister Stephanie, who designed the
art for the show, Our wonderful composer

16
00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:17.719
of Voyage Media Drows Gonzalez, who
did our theme music that you usually hear

17
00:01:17.760 --> 00:01:22.840
on every episode. The reason that
I decided to end it now is couplefold.

18
00:01:22.840 --> 00:01:26.879
I mean, basically, it became
clear over time that this was a

19
00:01:26.879 --> 00:01:30.040
show it was going to basically it's
gonna be like a cult classic, much

20
00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:34.120
like The Shield, my favorite TV
show of all time, a small but

21
00:01:34.239 --> 00:01:38.239
loyal audience, right, And it
just became clear that it was never going

22
00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:42.359
to be organically, you know,
maybe if I had the marketing budget,

23
00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:46.560
maybe, but organically it was not
going to grow to a point where it

24
00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:49.680
was self sustaining, meaning that I
could really justify the amount of time that

25
00:01:49.719 --> 00:01:53.439
it takes to make the show every
week and all that kind of stuff.

26
00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:57.920
And also I thought that I kind
of wanted to go out on top,

27
00:01:57.959 --> 00:02:00.719
meaning I don't know that I would
never be able to do better than getting

28
00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:07.079
the creator of the you know,
underlying ip. Obviously he's involved in the

29
00:02:07.079 --> 00:02:10.680
show Hugh Howee of Silo, which
was are you with the streaming show of

30
00:02:10.759 --> 00:02:15.000
the summer in terms of how successful
it was, and certainly not how much

31
00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:20.719
I liked it. To get him
on the show the Monday after the season

32
00:02:21.080 --> 00:02:23.479
finale aired. It's pretty good.
I don't know that I was going to

33
00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:27.240
do better than that, so I
wanted to kind of go out on top.

34
00:02:27.240 --> 00:02:29.120
I sort of knew that I was
getting closer to the end, and

35
00:02:29.759 --> 00:02:31.479
I thought, man, I'm not
gonna I'm not going to really be able

36
00:02:31.520 --> 00:02:36.000
to do bad than that. That's
the last trick I had up my sleeve.

37
00:02:36.520 --> 00:02:39.120
I thought a fun thing to do
for this last episode was I just

38
00:02:39.199 --> 00:02:43.719
kind of look over all the episodes
I've done and kind of call out some

39
00:02:43.800 --> 00:02:46.159
highlights, some things that really jumped
out to me, almost all of which

40
00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:51.159
are episodes I had of guests.
Getting an interview Hugh Howee, of course

41
00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:53.919
was awesome and I really enjoyed it. That was just a very cool opportunity.

42
00:02:54.439 --> 00:02:58.639
Richard Wank one of my heroes and
screenwriting, the writer of all the

43
00:02:58.639 --> 00:03:01.360
Equalizer films. I know Sean Ryan
told me he listened to that interview three

44
00:03:01.400 --> 00:03:05.159
times, so it was totally worth
doing just for that. But Richard is

45
00:03:05.199 --> 00:03:07.960
just an awesome guy, and I'm
really grateful I got to talk to him.

46
00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:10.280
I did the sky the Definitive,
as far as I'm concerned, Skyline

47
00:03:10.439 --> 00:03:15.639
Movie franchise Megapodcast with Leam MacDonnell.
I love that guy. I really liked

48
00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:20.039
those movies, So yeah, that
was really fun as well. Honestly,

49
00:03:20.120 --> 00:03:23.919
probably my favorite episode of the entire
podcast was the Guilty Pleasures of the Night

50
00:03:23.960 --> 00:03:30.240
Agent episode with James Jefferson aka Brother
of Doom. Really enjoyed doing that and

51
00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:32.039
I you know, I definitely got
some feedback from people saying that they thought

52
00:03:32.039 --> 00:03:36.360
it was really funny and it was, you know, an enjoyable listen hilariously

53
00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:40.599
the most popular episode of the show. This is a show based in positivity,

54
00:03:40.719 --> 00:03:44.080
right, It's things that I think
you should watch, I think are

55
00:03:44.120 --> 00:03:47.080
good. The most popular episode of
the entire show is the only episode that

56
00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:52.319
was negative, which was the Tulsa
King. It's the only one of the

57
00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:54.719
whole series where I was like,
I'm still going to talk about it even

58
00:03:54.759 --> 00:03:59.199
though I don't think you should watch
it at So I just thought it was

59
00:03:59.280 --> 00:04:02.080
hilarious that this is the most popular
episode of the whole podcast. Actually,

60
00:04:02.120 --> 00:04:05.960
correction, it's the second most popular
episode. The most popular episode was Tell

61
00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:10.560
Me Lies on Hulu, followed by
The Night Agent, followed by Vengeance on

62
00:04:10.599 --> 00:04:15.159
Amazon, followed by Best Watches of
my life. I did Emily the Criminal

63
00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:18.720
with producer Dian Grek is an awesome
guy. That's a really good movie.

64
00:04:19.199 --> 00:04:23.519
That was just a very cool conversation. I did Top three TV Series of

65
00:04:23.560 --> 00:04:27.399
the Year with Kendall Lampkin, who
is single handedly responsible forgetting me to watch

66
00:04:27.399 --> 00:04:30.560
Severance, which I absolutely loved,
so big shout out to Kendall for that.

67
00:04:31.079 --> 00:04:33.920
So yeah, that's it. That's
the end of the podcast. You

68
00:04:33.959 --> 00:04:39.240
know, for those of you that
you know connect with me about this show

69
00:04:39.279 --> 00:04:44.680
and text me or message me on
socials or you know, we kind of

70
00:04:44.759 --> 00:04:47.480
go back and forth talking about we're
watching. I've really enjoyed those conversations with

71
00:04:47.519 --> 00:04:54.040
you. We probably will keep doing
that. But yeah, the show is

72
00:04:54.079 --> 00:04:58.279
going to end now just because I
just I literally just can't just if I

73
00:04:58.279 --> 00:05:03.480
continue to do it with doubt it
having some financial return for the amount of

74
00:05:03.480 --> 00:05:08.040
time that I put it to it. So yeah, that's the end.

75
00:05:08.600 --> 00:05:13.519
I want to say again, sincere
our heartfelt thank you to everyone who engaged

76
00:05:13.560 --> 00:05:17.600
with me on the show. It
was absolutely a delight and for the last

77
00:05:17.639 --> 00:05:24.279
time, thank you for listening.
Bye bye. Let me name mur
