WARNING: We sat on this episode for a week before releasing it because we were all left speechless by the final product.

DISCLAIMER…it was a joke that took a left turn. It is all just a bunch of teasing, so keep that in mind when you experience it. This episode is all about saying goodbye to our longtime producer and friend, Bryan, as he heads to the East Coast to be with his family. We try to keep it heartfelt… but of course, things go off the rails fast. We gift Bryan a card and some cash, but Erik decides that’s not quite enough—and offers him something so out there, Bryan flat-out refuses. Repeatedly. What starts as a funny joke turns into a cringe-fest of epic proportions, thanks to Laura’s unfiltered commentary that makes Erik turn red, sweat through his shirt, and want to melt into the floor. It’s emotional, it’s awkward, and it’s exactly the kind of chaotic send-off Bryan deserves. ❤️ Bryan, thank you for everything you’ve done for us and this podcast. You’ve made every episode better (and kept us somewhat sane). We’ll miss you like crazy—and honestly, would you expect anything less than an uncomfortable exit from this circus? 😂 If you can’t look away from a good train wreck, this one’s for you. 🚂💥

Love your podcast and love you Bryan (like family.)
