What's up everybody? Before we start this episode, I want to start by saying thank you for just how supportive and understanding you all have been and patient above all

And understandably a lot of you want to know what I have to say about everything that's happened and the reality there is that I'm not in a position to speak about the situation.

And at this point really the thing I have to focus on is how to move forward.

You know, which leads me to say, I want to thank everyone as well that just sent me messages of support, you know, just directly to me.

That has been just very motivating and reassuring, not just for me me but for everyone at the studio.

That's kind of given us the energy we needed to you know take the first step back.

I took some time and figured out a new direction for the show and where I want the company to go overall.

And so this episode we didn't shoot it in studio.

It's actually kind of a crazy story. We flew to West Virginia, drove through a creek bed,

hiked half a mile with the gear to film with the guest, and it turned out to be just a great story overall.

We'll be filming out of studio for the next few weeks

and that's just because I want to build a new set.

And yeah, that's kind of the plan.

Again, I just want to thank you all.

You have supported me for years, almost a decade,

and you've supported this studio for years,

and we all fully intend to give you what you've given us for so long.

That part is not going to stop.

So yeah, it means the world to me just how much you all have been there for me and I fully intend to,

yeah, just keep at it and keep making things that I hope you love and enjoy.

Ladies and gentlemen, people of the world, today I have a very, very exciting episode.

Something I'm really stoked for. It's really hard to describe
