This is the end...21 Jan 202300:22:01

As it has been said "All good things must come to an end", in this case, it's just us. We've been on a hiatus for quite a while now, and have had discussions on where the show is going, what our plans are and have come to a decision together. After 10 years we're calling it, and retiring the show. This decision didn't come easy, when you do something weekly for ten years suddenly stopping is quite a change.

Mike, Patrick, Joel and Josh want to thank all the listeners we've had over the last year. When we started this in 2013 it was a fun thing for us to get together for and posting the shows was a bit of "We'll see if anyone listens". Well, you did, and we have loved hearing from all of you that shouted back at us, many of you have become part of our daily conversations on and off the podcast.

Which brings us to the "what next" part of things. We're shutting down our social medias, since we won't be there to respond to anything. If you'd like to keep in touch, our Discord (accessible at the link below) is where we will be. Over the years it's gone from us just posting new shows to discussion on everything from new TV and Movies, Drinks and traveling, to just cute stuff and trivia. Join us there, it's a good time.

https://discord.gg/YxFKrf3VGb

As for the guys? They've all got upcoming ideas and plans, so here's a quick rundown and how to keep in touch with them!

Mike - @thejavakat

He's currently on Meeples & Wine, a podcast about tabletop gaming for married couples, which reviews games and samples a new bottle of wine every show! You can find him and his lovely wife Suzanne at https://podcast.show/meeplesandwine/ to listen and follow!

Patrick - @PWhaley12

The Talent is taking some downtime to recharge his batteries. While he doesn't have a show currently in the works, things are always happening, so there's no guarantee that this is the last you've heard from him!

Joel - @joelhappykpants

His solo show The Sunshine Happy Kpants Hour is still rolling on Talkshoe, you can find it HERE. Most recently he and his ghoulish wife have started the Newlydeads, if you love the horror of Halloween, and dig on slasher flicks, you'll need to dig them up at https://thenewlydeads.com/

Josh - @DocStout

Josh has never been at a shortage of plans. He's taking a moment to himself, getting his tabletop RPG/board gaming set along with the catalog of games on Steam he's playing lined up and he will be back. He's got ideas for the future so definitely follow him above to find out what's in store!

As always, it's been fun, and thanks for listening!

Jacob’s Ladder13 Sep 202001:35:06

WATCHMEN07 Sep 202001:28:28
The original 'Watchmen' series of comic books surpassed the genre and went on to prove that these weren't just funny books. They proved that these were literature. As fans of pop culture, we wanted to span the Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons masterwork across all of its iterations. If you're a longtime lover of these books or a newcomer to the story, this is an episode you won't want to miss. Yet the question still remains, "Who watches the Watchmen?"

Unsolved Mysteries16 Aug 202001:09:09
Sometimes mysteries get solved, and we sit back and smile as Dr. House, Jessica Fletcher and Sherlock get the “ah-ha!” at the end. (Colombo too!)

17 or 18 Again?21 Jun 202001:18:12
I think all of us have, at one point or another, wished we were younger or older than we currently are.

Why Walgreens and no CVS? This OctoBoo is off to a scary start with these witchy women. Toss all that in, along with questions like "Who remembers "Weak" by SWV? (I've watched the vid, and still have no recollection of this - Mike) Does "Tanga" by Prudencio Mario Bauzá Cárdenas make you want to dance? (Yes.) and what the heck was "Weinerville"?

The Baking Show21 Jan 202001:39:47
With the realization that this was going to be our 314th episode of this podcast, we felt that we would be remiss if we didn’t do a PI show.

Teen Revenge 2 – Cruel Intentions vs Do Revenge!23 Sep 202201:14:29
Revenge is a dish best served cold or with a side of mushrooms. Listener Nikki suggested we talk about the 1999 teen classic, 'Cruel Intentions' and compare it to the brand new release from Netflix, 'Do Revenge'. We're coming out from hiding under the table, as the spiders are finally going away, to discuss these rich kid revenge stories.  We couldn't say no when we realized that Sarah Michelle Gellar couldn't say no and was in both projects. Somebody is going to pay for the things we say in this show. Let's just hope that we don't end up the same way as Sebastian and try and stop a speeding car with our face. Join us this week as we meander through the past, finding out about Joel's love of #BronskiBeat old #Nickelodeon GaS, the Pet Shop Boys with Dusty Springfield and of course Haile Gebrselassie. We add another #Revenge movie show, to go on the wall with our #Heathers vs #MeanGirls show! #dorevenge #CruelIntentions You can now find us on the Fountain Podcast app on Apple and Android!
