Hey, Tim. Thanks for having me on, man. I appreciate it. How are you? You know, I'm fantastic. Never been better. What's been going on? Anything crazy lately? No, nothing. Normal. Totally normal. Yeah, yeah. I have left fandom, and I am looking forward to future opportunities. That's where I'm at. It is... a thing that I won't be able to talk too much about like what happened.

And, you know, there's the obvious reasons for that. Like, you know, when a person leaves a company, there are agreements and stuff like that. And I'm ready to kind of move on. Anyhow, I'm ready to like, see what's next. Also. It's like, you know, I have a lot of friends that still work there and, And I don't need anything I say being used to make their jobs, their lives more difficult.

They're still going to do really good work. They're still going to try to make things happen there. And I think they have a really good shot of doing exactly that because they are so talented. They're so dedicated. They love their audience. They love their work. And I'm just... Real excited to see what what what like the GameSpot team can do going forward.

It's going to be I think it can be special. And because because I've been talking to them and they really do care. And they've said, you know, really nice things to me. Everyone has. I really appreciate that. So, yeah, just kind of ready to go see what happens when Jeff Grubb can just go be Jeff Grubb. And I'm very excited about that.

I mean, I got to ask, how are you doing? I'm doing okay. You know, it's very scary in the moment, right? When it's, you know, when the panic starts to set in, it's like, actually, you know what? I could just do stuff. I could just take action here and, you know, kind of did minimal. It was like, hey, let's, I'm going to focus more on some personal stuff.

Like here's Patreon that I have had set up for quite some time. Would be great if you could support that because I'm going to keep doing a lot more stuff there. And people came through and it really reminded me, it's like, oh no, I got this. When I said at the end of each Game Mess Mornings and then Game Breaking News that the Giant Bomb audience is the best audience in gaming, it was true.

And they've come through and now it's the Jeff Grubb audience. And I am ecstatic to sort of take that and run with it.

So kind of feeling a little bit on top of everything today, where a little bit, you know, not invincible, but like, oh, that armor I've built up of having, like surrounding myself with great people and doing the job the way that I have always said I was going to do the job, which is I'm going to But the people I write for first, the people I'm making content for first.

And, you know, sure, other people saw my paychecks, but I work for this audience and that has paid off repeatedly now. And I think that's where I'm at, where it's like, OK, that was the right choice. And I feel really good about it.
