On the podcast Excuse me Excuse me I actually fucking reject that Thank you He also asks Instant redundancy Whose bits did you touch?

I said him straight. I said, although this does happen in radio, immediate departures, or questionable histories about to bubble to the surface, this is definitely not the case here. No, it's not. Definitely not the case here. Why? Sometimes I even ask.

Go on. Give it a touch. Give it a squeeze. Give us a kiss. Which might actually be the reason why you're going to leave quickly one day. Oh, yeah Oh yeah yeah yeah She's just gone Mel says

Emily said I've been listening to the podcast For over 14 years And JP is hands down My favourite producer you've had Not only to provide the laughs His dedication to the podcast And it's community

Ahoy me matey. Damien says, I'm been a blast listening to you become a huge part of the team. Thanks for the podcast in a timely manner. Good luck to you in the midi. Ahoy me, matey. Damien says, I'm going to miss the nerd vibe that Jared brings and encourages with Vaughn. He's one of the life's nice guys. I think he's back to talking about Jared, not me. Oh, yeah. I was going to say. We switched back. Genuine, kind, and funny.

I'm going to really miss what he brings. Jared, you're fully skucks, bro. Skucks a lot. John says, I'm pouring out a 40 Although it's just a 250ml And it's not liquor, it's Red Bull for you JP Lekker Are you going to have some What do you like? Fireball today?

Yeah I'll have some fireball and cola Actually that's what we should have done For a get four Jared We should have done one whole hour In his native accent No I can't One thing I love about Jared is you have a straight Kiwi accent,

but when you say off, you often say off. Walking down to the dairy, forgot to turn off my eyeball. Yeah, off. And it's just got a slight off. Or it's where you're like, get the fuck off my property.

Get the fuck off my car. Get the fuck off my car. And then he just starts shooting. He just started shooting Yeah So that's the South African way It's crazy Remember when Jared

Dressed up as a minion For quiz night And looked amazing So good And the checkout chick stories I'm crossing my fingers For a bloody wonderful opportunity To come your way Jared

With many doors to open Hey Jared We all are Still in our quiz team Yep Strong member When he started Influencing

And made a post for the brand And then the brand reached out And said that wasn't actually from them, please amend. Yeah, that was great. That was a great moment. That was fun. Yeah. Horg says, I'll miss you in the fam, JP.

Thanks for the patience with the where's the pod request and also how you always reply in the kindest way when there's an issue or a technical hitch. You're one of the good guys. You'll be truly missed. Sorry that the ride is ending. No one edits a pod quite like you. Kia kaha!

He's good at editing. He's really good. Gillian, fan of the show, who suffered a loss this week. Gillian's lovely mother passed away. We've talked about on the show before, if you ever heard us anonymously mention our friend who had tattoos and was hiding them from her mum, that was Gillian.

And Gillian is the show's potions master yeah she is she sends all sorts of lotions and potions yeah she lost her mum this way and just thoughts are with you

JP that's tough times my fondest memory of dear Jared was the huge positive swipe history in Tinder and then we met as true love

that's right that's right it was lockdown eh yeah the woman was 400 and something yeah skak still it's a New Zealand record yeah yeah yeah he holds it still gotta be right House Road was locked down, eh? Yeah. The woman was frothing. 400 and something. Yeah. Scarks to life.

Scarks to life. It's a New Zealand record. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He holds it still. Gotta be, right? You hugely missed your D&G stories. I think she means D&D. Dolce & Gabbana.

Dolce & Gabbana stories. And Fletch banging in the background. No ego, authentic, kind, and fun. Wonderful humans onwards and upwards. From Gillian. Let me take that advice on board, Vaughn. The fuck did you just say to me I am the fucking

king around here motherfucker did you just tell him to take the advice of onwards and upwards no ego authentic kind fun

wonderful human I booed him and you were fucking I wasn't paying attention I was reading Julian's message along and I

missed you I'm gonna miss the D&D chatter says Chris I mean if one thing on the show today taught us I wasn't paying attention. I was reading Gillian's message along and I missed you. I'm going to miss the D&D chat, it says Chris. I mean, if one thing on the show today taught us anything, it's the people who listen to the show are aching for Dungeons & Dragons. If you're listening to this today and you're about to listen to the big pod, you're in for a little treat. That felt to me like it lasted 49 minutes.

It was so painful. You're not used to things lasting 49 minutes, are you? No, fuck no. Maybe four minutes to nine minutes tops. What have you're not used to things lasting 40 minutes no fuck no four minutes two nine minutes time you've got things to do uh i'm gonna miss you on the show uh jp says courtney you brought a lot of nerd to the show which i loved and you always had a laugh even when you had the piss taken out of you hope whatever life brings your way uh whatever life brings you next brings you joy and happiness we'll miss you eric said uh rip to the scuxus of all the checkout chicks uh eva says love jp and the subtle south african accents that you whenever you say off off off uh chris says as chief podcast producer jp leaves some big shoes he does a great

job not only in the size seven in the pub we've just learned a woman's size nine i think he meant a woman's seven and waiting on those boots, Tom. And making sure it's published on time and a show an excellent commitment to the community to let us know if it will be delayed for any reason. That punctuality loan will be missed. Much less the fun nerd chat will surely be suppressed now with Vaughn lonely once more in the nerd realm.

Wishing you well on your next journey. Fare thee well, sailor. May this not be the last time we hear your voice in our prospective podcast feeds, though it may be a nat one. There may be many nat 20s in the future.

Oh, thank you. Ahoy. That was lovely. We stan a short mustache, questionable hair, colored, excellent mic technique, energy drinking, vape inhaling,

D&D master, dedicated king, says Emma. We have no choice but to stan. All the best for the future. Claire, all the best. Jared, I'd like to link you to the latest Magi ad which always makes me think of you saying it.

It is Magi. It's always Magi. Shout out to everyone in Magi. Magi, cup of soup. Kate says, from the mega month on Tinder to happily living with the midi, Jared has been generous enough to share the glimmers and quirks of his life with us. The pod king has always been super responsive to any messages regarding podcast availability,

volume, and upload time. Your loyal listeners will expect this level of service to continue. Best of luck, JP. Earl said, I'm going to miss you, Jared. You're my second favorite on the show. It's up to you to guess who his favorite is because I love hearing about the online gaming,

the nerd stuff, and the good quality music. Shout out, Earl. That's me. Second favorite on the show. Oh yeah, you didn't finish that sentence just below Vaughan. Well I wasn't going to say it,

I was going to let you draw your own conclusions. You know me, I don't need to read out the compliments. I take them on board and I'm happy with them, they're not to be shitted.

That's really, that's going to sit with me all day. It actually will though? Yeah. It's going to eat me alive, you know it. I'll be at the gym and I'll be like,

man. Which is why I didn't say anything. Hope you have something great lined up and maybe one day where am I on the fucking list shut the fuck up bitch come on Earl

fucking be a man be a man Earl and list it all out come on remember when Gillian said no ego and kindness well would you

shut the fuck up maybe one day you'll accept my friend request to play some Fortnite. That's Earl. Oh, yeah, Earl. Earl. Maybe.

Amber. Amber. You can say Earl, isn't it? Jesus. Amber. It was so amazing to see Jared thrive over the years working with the team. How was this day about Jared and not me? This is what I want to know.

This is the most fucked up thing ever. I feel like quitting. I feel like quitting so that I get a day like this. Then you'll miss me. Earl. I was so excited to see Jared's throw over the years of the team. From a shy new guy to an integral part of the team with many hilarious moments, I especially love the pack and save your arms.

Best of luck. Congratulations. You're still young enough to pivot into a career where you can make loads of money. Because it ain't radio. Sure ain't. Nikki, I'll miss all of Jared's nerdgasms. I love the time he had his Twitch feed on mute for seven hours. That's so funny.

Loved a bit of nerd chat. Gutted Vaughn won't have someone to back him up now. Thanks for editing the podcast and producing it so quick. We'll miss hearing you guys chat about D&D. It's going to be a lot easier to bully Vaughn, isn't it? It's going to be so much easier. Really? This is why we got him fine.

Kate said, really going to miss Jared and his wild anecdotes about growing up in South Africa. The ease in which he set Vaughn up to seg into nerd chat and his self-deprecating sense of humour. He'll be so missed. That one felt like a eulogy. Yeah, it did. I've got one here. What an absolute piece of hot arse. I hope he and the midi break upogy. Yeah, it did. I've got one here. What an absolute piece of hot ass. I hope he and the middie break up soon.

Sydney Sweeney. Oh, my. Oh, okay. Nice to see you, long time listener of the show. Maybe just me, says Cassandra, but I've always had a bit of a silly ready crush on Jared. I know, I saw that. Sorry to the middie, but I always get a little bit giggly when I heard his voice on the pod. Wow.

Of course, the rule is if someone says something like that, you've got to click on them to see what they look like. Oh, yeah. Probably best you don't say this, Jerry. If the mini doesn't hear this, you might get in a bit of trouble. A bit of trouble. Coming from a guy's experience in getting in trouble with his business. God, it's so nice when a hot person gives you a compliment. It means more. It is.

It means more. It means so much more. That's why when gay men give me compliments, I take it. Oh my God. Oh yeah, the gay men love

to give me a little. They go, they love. Yeah, they gaggle, we'll slurp you up. Yeah. Just want to wish Jared

all the best. Well, I've got two more to go. Okay. And whatever he ends up doing, he'll be an asset to that lucky team on Mrs. Addams

on topics and hearing about Twitch escapades. Emma finally writes, I would love an update on the outcome of the story where he messaged his granddad on Facebook saying happy birthday. He'd passed away and someone replied saying thanks. I never found out who that was. To be fair, I never asked anyone. Occasionally I'll still see Grandpa Frank online at like 4am. I'm like, what are you up to?

Who's got the Grandpa Frank's Facebook account? Yeah, no idea. But, yeah, thanks for all those lovely messages. That means a lot. You don't really think about, or I don't really think about what people think. Hayley does constantly. What a free head you must have Yeah

Out of sight, out of mind So yeah, hearing those It warms my heart Nah, out of sight, not out of mind mate You're a friend And it's gonna be fun Getting to know you with sleep in your bod bod Yeah, I won't be a grumpy bastard

I'll be a sleep-filled man. Gorgeous. I assume in about four hours' time, you and I will be playing Sea of Thieves? Oh, yeah, big time. Big time. Fantastic. Thanks for all your work, my dude.

Yeah, thank you, Jared. Thanks for having me, guys. And cheer. Should we sing a song? What's that song you used to sing? May the road rise to meet you. Meet you. Oh, no, I don't know this song. I don't know this.

You're Catholic? Wasn't that a church song? Yeah, hold on. Here we go. Here we go. Celtic Thunders, May the Road Rise to Meet You. Fletch, I need my sound. Hit me.

Oh, wow. Oh, this is a terrible song. I've got one. No, I've got song. I've got one. No, I've got one. I've got one. Okay. Do you ever feel like a plastic bag drifting through the wind

wanting to start again? Do you ever feel so paper thin like a house of cards one blow from from heaven. Do you ever feel already buried deep? Six feet under screams, but no one ever seems to hear a thing. Do you know that there's still a chance for you? Cause there's a spark in you.

You just gotta ignite the light. Let it shine. Let it shine. Just own the night. Like the 4th of July. Cause baby you're a firework. Come on show them what you're worth. Come on, show them. What you're worth.

Yeah. Make them go, ew, ew, ew. Vorn. As you shoot across their face. Vorn. I'm sorry, Vorn. I'm sorry, Vorn. I've got carried away.

There's not a clean cut point. So that's going in the fucking podcast now. Thank you very much. Absolute fucking pest. What a fucking pest. What a fucking pest. What a way to ruin a beautiful moment. That was beautiful. Thank you for doing that, Fletch. I chose a great heartfelt song and you ruined it.

I dribbled. I got so low. I'm so fine. I can't breathe properly. Help. After such a beautiful moving moment From a man that seldom makes an earnest declaration Yeah, thank you Thank you

And thanks for singing Cause baby you're a firework Come on, show your worth Your worth Make him go
