When in the Course of podcast events, it becomes necessary for one podcast to dissolve the digital bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of hostkind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

But we're still not going to.

Hold your ground, hold your ground. Children of Radio, of the Internet, my siblings. I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me. A day may come when the courage of podcasts fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day. An hour of written word and streaming video, when the age of podcasts comes crashing down, but it is not this day. This day we fight! For all that you hold dear on this good Earth, I bid you stand, Podcasts of the Internet!

Everybody just have a good time

This podcast is in the house tonight (ooww!) Everybody just have a good time

And we gon' make you loose your mind (yeah!)

We just wanna see you...

Shake that!

I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for YouTube, I can tell you I don't have video. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people who hate the audio format. If you listen to this podcast now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will tell you that you probably made the right decision.

Run.

Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis The Wise? I thought not. It's not a story the Jedi would tell you. It's a Sith legend. There was once a podcast episode called the Monday Thursday Power Hour Ep 2: Back at It Again at the Krispy Kreme (ft. Liz MacDonald). It was a Dark Lord of the Sith, so powerful and so wise it could use the Force to influence the midichlorians to create life. It had such a knowledge of the dark side that it could even keep the ones it cared about from dying. The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. It became so powerful, the only thing it was afraid of was losing its power, which eventually, of course, it did. Unfortunately, it taught its apprentice, Ep 3, everything it knew, then its apprentice killed it in its sleep. Ironic. It could save others from death, but not itself.

Howdy hey campers. In this episode, we say things. Some things happen. You'll laugh, you'll cry, and maybe you'll learn a little something on the way. Just remember, the journey is more important than the destination, so don't stop believing.
