This is the final episode of IRL Talk. It's been real. Faith and Jason are going to miss you. Thanks for hanging out with us.
No topics this episode at all! With the impending end of IRL Talk, Faith and Jason joke and reminisce. This is probably the best episode of IRL Talk ever.
In this episode of IRL Talk, Faith and Jason talk about feels, the impending end of IRL Talk, Delorean iPhone cases, and more. There is also a very special joint guest appearance by two very well known podcasters -- Casey Liss and Myke Hurley. And by "guest appearance" we mean we crossed podcast streams. YOLO.
