Hey Task Force, this is Trevor. Let me try to

0:02

see if I can get through this one smoothly. I've

0:05

run this announcement through my head

0:07

many times, but let me just

0:09

break it open. As many of you might

0:11

have heard on our social media or at the top

0:13

of the last episode, our parent company

0:15

Rooster Teeth last week was informed that we would

0:17

be closing down. We have about

0:19

two months until that official wind

0:21

down date, but of course, it

0:24

being our parent company, it has implications for

0:26

this podcast. So I want to update you

0:28

guys on what that looks like. Of course,

0:31

we're still figuring it out. We don't know

0:33

for sure, but suffice to say, we love

0:35

this show. We love you all and thank

0:37

you so much for all your support over

0:39

these years. We are seeking answers

0:41

to see if we can continue as Red

0:43

Web, if we can continue the show as

0:46

you know it, or at least continue the

0:48

show in some form. I can't promise that

0:50

it will be the same. It

0:52

might even have a new name. We don't know any of that

0:54

yet, but we do know that

0:56

we loved this thing. And I think

0:58

I speak for myself and everyone, Alfredo,

1:01

Christian, and Jillian as well. This

1:03

has been the honor of a lifetime. It was

1:05

my passion project turned into this incredible show. It

1:07

became a top three podcast at Rooster Teeth. And

1:10

I'm just so humbled by

1:13

being able to indulge in my love for

1:15

the unknown and explore mysteries and the dark

1:17

corners of the internet and have a laugh

1:19

while we did it all at the same

1:21

time. So when it comes to the

1:23

updates, again, we're still figuring this out,

1:25

but there are a few things I want you all

1:27

to know. We will be continuing Red

1:29

Web, the podcast as you know it through

1:31

mid to late April. Sorry if I

1:33

sound a little, my adrenaline just

1:35

kicked in. I've never been nervous filming

1:38

this podcast because you guys have made

1:40

this my home and I've been so

1:42

comfortable being able to be

1:44

myself and explore these wild topics.

1:46

But for the first time, I

1:48

am a little nervous and a little

1:50

uncertain as to what to say because I don't know

1:52

what the future holds. But yes, the

1:55

podcast will continue into mid to late

1:57

April as we consider the next steps.

2:00

As to what read web holds. Book.

2:02

Club is already all recorded out. We won't

2:04

be recording any new ones, so that's going

2:06

out through the end of March. Friday's all

2:08

the way through March. Twenty ninth will be

2:10

the last one, so that's five total book

2:12

Clubs. And we are still planning

2:15

a big finale. I wish I could

2:17

say more, but it's still not locked in

2:19

stone and I don't want to give promises

2:21

to something that might not exist. But

2:23

we are thinking about what that finale could

2:26

look like and I'm very hopeful that we

2:28

can do some sort of video finale. something

2:30

big and exciting. To at least

2:32

close this chapter is not say good

2:35

bye. I'm very excited for the

2:37

topics we have left. We had months of

2:39

content planned out, but we will at least

2:41

cherry pick some of our favorite topics that

2:44

we had in the immediate runway so that

2:46

we wouldn't kind of culminate in some very

2:48

fun topics for the podcast. Our last episode

2:51

is oddly poetic, so I'm very excited to

2:53

explore that topic with the all and and

2:55

get your thoughts. Get your theories as always

2:57

as far as the future Again, I wish

3:00

I had more. I can't speak for everybody

3:02

else has plans because there's a lot of

3:04

us figuring out the very many unknowns. If

3:06

you want to follow us and know what comes

3:09

next, I encourage you to follow all of our

3:11

personal socials. These. Are Instagram handle. They

3:13

might vary by location, but this is just in

3:15

case we don't have access to the red web

3:17

social outlet. I wanna make sure that you guys

3:20

stay in touch with us. And support

3:22

everybody on this show and everybody who's

3:24

done their thing. So I want to

3:26

start with the researcher Gillian to quite

3:28

one in the back, but the one

3:30

who was the lifeblood of the show.

3:32

follow her at underscored Jill and J

3:34

3:37

Up We have our producer our quick

3:39

3:41

person who's been running all the it's

3:43

a hard work behind the scenes to

3:45

make the show run is Christian. Follow

3:47

him at X Sin Young that's X

3:49

C H I N. And then

3:51

I have my beautiful co host and

3:54

wilde skeptic in a little bit of

3:56

a scaredy cat. At Alfredo

3:58

plays. Is. where you can find him

4:00

on Instagram to see what he's up to and what he's

4:02

doing and of course you have me at

4:04

underscore Trevor C the letter

4:07

C not like the ocean because

4:09

that would not make sense for

4:11

me personally I do love the

4:13

ocean I don't know what I'm saying again I'm nervous but

4:15

I just want to end with a little bit of thank

4:18

you all again so much we had

4:21

10,000 reviews on Spotify we became

4:23

a top 1% I don't know

4:26

the stats really I'm speaking off the top of my

4:28

head we might even be a top point 1% podcast

4:31

I'm so incredibly grateful for the opportunities

4:33

that this show has offered me and

4:36

everybody that's worked on it we

4:38

went ghost hunting through various

4:40

different states I got to see so many people

4:42

in person at the company's convention called RTX where

4:44

you guys would come to me and tell me

4:46

how much the show means even in these last

4:49

few days so many of you have poured out

4:51

your love in the comments on

4:53

Instagram and then the DMS and things and we

4:55

can't respond to all of it but just know

4:57

we see it and so I'm so incredibly

5:00

humbled and grateful and again I speak for everybody

5:02

I wanted to film this update alone because I

5:04

felt like if I did it with the team

5:07

it would be a lot wetter if that

5:10

makes sense I've done a lot of processing

5:12

but it did take me about half a

5:14

day just to muster up these five minutes

5:16

of recording so haha anyway thank you guys

5:18

so much truly again to reiterate we want

5:21

to do something in the future I hope

5:23

it could be under the banner of Red

5:25

Web but it might have a different name

5:28

there's no promises I want to make here just

5:30

to be totally clear I don't want to set

5:32

any false expectations I just know we all love

5:35

this show if anything happens in

5:37

the future it could look different it could

5:39

look the same we had a lot of

5:41

amazing plans for this year we finally even

5:43

though we launched in quarantine or just before

5:45

we matured during quarantine

5:47

but it prevented us from really exploring

5:50

new opportunities and With book Club

5:52

and this potential finale, there's a few other things

5:54

in mind that I again I won't speak into

5:56

the air because they won't maybe ever exist. But

5:59

we had a lot. Really awesome plans

6:01

for this! I p this intellectual

6:03

property of Red web and that

6:05

again is all thanks to you

6:07

guys in your support So again

6:09

follow us all on our individuals,

6:11

see what we do next and

6:14

also stay in touch. With

6:16

our futures. Thank. You

6:18
