See You Later, Merverts

3/4/2024
For the last time ever (unless someone gives us a small loan of a million dollars), this week! Dave brings some homemade bbq for the guys in the studio to celebrate their journey with this podcast. After munching into the mic for a full 12 minutes, they call Nicole Mitchell, a pastor turned OnlyF*ns star to further explore the possibility of Forrest finding OnlyF*ns success. Dave also calls his personal pastor from his church to hopefully convert Forrest and save his soul. And then we clean out the voicemail box and say our final farewells. Thank you to all of our listeners, especially the ones that tuned in every Monday since the beginning. It's been fun and a pleasure connecting with you and we do not take this experience for granted. We had as much fun making this podcast as (hopefully) you enjoyed listening. We love you and maybeeee we'll see you later.
