Matt is working on moving up into the plumbing world and Jake has some things to say about the Elden Ring DLC. Jake and Matt wrap up by taking a peak at the state of legacy and modern like the good old days before signing off one last time. It has been a wild ride and a pleasure creating this podcast over the years but all things come to an end and Cantrip Cartel is no exception.
