Hey, Brain made a merch link at 1AM! If you ever wanted a shirt or a mug with us on it, here’s a chance to do so!

Hey nerds,

With the new year the three of us discussed the future of the podcast, and determined that...there would be no future. We're shelving it indefinitely like a netflix show. For our own respective reasons we've decided to step away, and we each don't want to do this without the other two.

We cannot thank you enough for your support these past few years. Your listening means the world to us. We've connected to so many interesting people, and heard so many fascinating stories because of you all.

Rest assured knowing that you'll be able to see us at upcoming HvZ games in the future, and we'll try to archive the episodes so that you can come back to them when you want.

We can't wait to see you out there, and again, thank you for listening.
-Tyler, Scotty, and Brain
