Hello and welcome to History for Weirdos.
We're your hosts, Andrew and Stephanie. And each week, we're going to take you on a journey into the strange, obscure, and relentlessly entertaining corners of human history.
Now listen up, friends, because it's about to get weird.
welcome back weirdos to the final episode the final episode of history for weirdos it's finally here it has been six and a half years 163 episode over 7 million downloads and listens over 1.5 million people have listened to an episode and we have so many bittersweet feelings about arriving to this point
Yeah, to the final episode. Here we are.
Here we are. I didn't think when we first started this way back pre-COVID, I did not think that we would be at this point. Like I wasn't even within my, I think, like total knowledge sphere.
Yeah, we started, always sounds weird every time I say it, in my parents' bedroom.
That's true.
Our first episode we recorded there, and now we're recording from Spotify Studios. How crazy.
Yeah.
And we're sorry that it's taken us so long to get to the final two episodes. We're recording them on the same day, so that's why our outfits haven't changed.
Exactly.
From the previous episode, if you're watching this on video. But as you now hopefully know, we're expecting our first baby.
Yeah. First baby. Baby girl in mid-October.
Yeah.
So we're really, really excited about being parents for the first time.
We're really excited, but it kind of derailed our plans for wrapping up. Yes, just a little bit. For a little bit. There was a time period where from the moment I woke up until the moment we were going to bed, I was vomiting.
Vomiting.
Yeah, I do remember that. And like I was I felt bad because like I just saw you in so much like discomfort. And I was like, oh, well, it's nothing compared to what Stephanie is going through.
I remember during the first trimester, there was a day I think it was our wedding anniversary. We had our nine year wedding anniversary this year where Andrew took me to get ice cream.
How did History for Weirdos announce and reflect on their final episode?
And then when the ice cream was done, I cried because I was like, that's the happiest I've felt in weeks was eating that ice cream.
Which is so sad. That is really sad.
But it tells you where we were at. So now that I'm feeling better, we're in like what's called the honeymoon phase of pregnancy. We are here. We are ready to wrap this up with you all. We are so, so excited. And we want to just thank the community for being here with us.
Yeah. Guys, you have no idea how much support, what your support has meant to us over these years. Oh, yeah. Going back to like the very first weirdos all the way back in 2020, like during COVID era to now to the like hundreds of thousands, like literally like million and a half people that have like listened to us, which is such an insane statistic. You guys have no idea. All the comments you've made, all of the time you've given us, it really means the world. When we started this, I did not think that it would be what it is now today.
I didn't think so either. We've had the opportunity to interview really amazing people, like Peter Weller being the big star-studded moment we had, chatting with him. We've had the opportunity to connect with you all. We've heard about how you listen to the podcast with your kids or with your spouse or whenever you travel or on your way to work. That's so special to us.
It is like you tell us a little glimpses in your life, like how I can't I can't even count the amount of times where it's like, oh, I listen to you like in the car on my way to work or like even like really like, you know, unique experiences where it's like, oh, I tend my sheep. One guy literally was like, I tend my sheep and I listen to you as as I'm doing that. And I'm like, that's so cool. I would have never known unless you guys told us so. Yeah. Like, you sharing little bits of your life with us and how we, like, help you with that is honestly such an amazing feeling.
That's what's kept us going for six and a half years.
Yeah.
Yeah. Like, we didn't know.
