It's the end of 2025 (or writing this, April 2026 - we're catching up, I swear). Josh is suffering from his stress but is trying to turn things around. Mike has a beautiful interactive media experience (no, not the hospital thing this time) in NYC. Big Questions, Thick and Thin Desires, and Monks in the Casino await 2026.
