Hey y'all it's just Josh again! This one isn't meant to be an entertaining episode, but to give the full story surrounding why The Scapegoats is ending as well as basically being a therapy session for me. But anyway, look out again this week for an ACTUAL episode probably dropping Wednesday!

Join us (me) this week as I give a bittersweet update as to the future of The Scapegoats as well as go through my Yugioh journey starting when I was a wee lad!
All good things must come to an end, and unfortunately The Scapegoats time is coming. I'll give all the details on the final episode coming at the end of September, and will do my best to put out some good episodes until then! But allow me to give a huge thank you to each and every single one of you that has donated, left a review, or even just listened to even a single one of our episodes. This was an incredibly rewarding experience, and it's because of each and every single one of you. Thank you all for making this thing worth doing for so long!
