Ok But Really This Is The Last One

September 21, 2021 21:53 - 45 minutes - 63 MB

Well, this is the death rattle of GMMOGMD.  The first of the three episodes posted today (Tuesday, September 21st, 2021) was a false flag.  It can be equated to a patient flatlining, the second one I guess would be the defibrillator that briefly allowed the show to regain consciousness, but now the fucker truly dies.  Thank you all so much for listening and supporting us over the years.  We will (not[because when you die you enter permanent nothingness{most likely}]) see you on the other side.

Whoops, here's another one!

September 21, 2021 21:46 - 31 minutes - 43.7 MB

Ok so I goofed again, as is the wont of this 'cast.  Turns out I actually had 3 unreleased episodes, this is 2/3.  So the one that said it is for real the last episode ever is, in fact, not the last episode ever.  Sorry for being a piece of shit, love you guys.

FINAL EPISODE EVER!

September 21, 2021 21:43 - 45 minutes - 62.4 MB

I swear I didn't hang on to this on purpose to leave you hanging.  It's just...I was releasing the bonus episodes on the main feed piecemeal after moving to LA, then the pandemic happened, then I moved back to Pittsburgh.  And I forgot!  Sorry!  No idea what this one's about but I hope you enjoy!  Miss you guys, hope to start another podcast in the next few months.  shipweeksforeverhashtag

Like all of these, I have no idea what this episode is about, just uploading them in sequential order.  My birthday was 4 days ago, I'm old enough to run for president now.  These are wild, historic times.  It's a lot to risk because of COVID but I participated in BLM marches in Hollywood and Pittsburgh, gonna try to avoid people now in case I was exposed.  I doubt anyone who has listened/listens to this podcast would disagree, and it should go without saying but, Black Lives Matter.  If you...
