Punch Drunk TV 125: The Punch Stops Here

Clinkers, we know it’s been a while but we are finally back for one more — and one final — episode. Yes, it’s true, after almost 7 years, we have decided it is now time to bring Punch Drunk TV to an end.

This is Aaron typing, in case you didn’t know. I started this show, back when it was first called Best Frienemies, and then revamped to the GeekNation show Pass the Effin Remote, for the simple reason that I wanted to hang out with Jack. I knew we had good chemistry, I was always entertained when we hung out, and a light bulb went off that we should do some type of show.

Now, here we are.

Doing this show helped us make new friends, brought our voices into households across the world, opened up doors to new job opportunities, and solidified my friendship with this dude I first met at a goth club over 20 years ago. This may be the end to Punch Drunk TV, but we are not going anywhere. Jack and I are currently working out an idea for a new show, so please keep in touch with us on Facebook and Twitter. We will announce something in the coming months.

In the meantime, please clink the drink with us one final time.
