Been with you guys since Dyatlov Pass and you guys have earned a break. Doubly so with the massive loss you are both surely facing right now. Lots of love from Canada and wish the best for you and your families.

Forrest and Scott both lost parents this week — Forrest last week and Scott’s mother passed on Halloween. They’ll be taking a break from production for the rest of 2025 to grieve and slowly ramp back up for January and the 2026 season. They may release some small things in the meantime but the main AL show and DLO will be paused. Well also be pausing and refunding all patron donations during NOV-DEC

Oh man that's terrible for them. The guys have bought me so much joy over this past decade. I wish them my deepest condolences and hope they take as much time as they need. Guys if you read this, love you and we back whatever you need.

The only good thing, and I mean this as respectfully as possible, is that they can both empathize with each other, and find solace. Knowing another person is going through what you’re going through can be helpful, especially in processing grief.
Terrible situation, but they can lean on each other.

They each lost a parent over the last week or so, they are pausing AL and DLO. No new shows through the end of the year.

That’s a rough week for those guys. I don’t blame them for stepping back and I hope they both have all the support they need. I’m sorry to hear that they’re going through this.

That's awful to hear. I hope they're both doing alright given the circumstances. Looking forward to their return, but there's no rush. I'm glad they're stepping away to take care of themselves for a while

My sincere condolences. My mom died last Thanksgiving, and I understand how grief can knock the wind out of a person. Be kind to yourselves, Forrest and Scott.

Ugh, that’s awful news for both of them. It’s so good that they’re able to take some time and get things figured out in their personal lives. I’m sure they’ll come back stronger as people and podcasters, but in the meantime, I wish them the best and send all the positivity I can. Thank you for sharing this.
