Pull up a chair, adventurers — this one’s for all of you.

In this special Holiday / Season 2 Recap episode of Chat 1 & Done, CJ and Rudy kick back in the tavern to reflect on everything that went right, everything that went off the rails, and everything that somehow worked anyway. No guest interviews this time — just gratitude, chaos, and a whole lot of love for the community that made Seasons 1 and 2 possible.

This episode is part recap, part teaser, part emotional send-off, and part drunken tavern monologue delivered with a raised mug and zero planning.

In This Episode You’ll Hear:

How Chat 1 & Done Somehow Survived Two Seasons From “we didn’t think this would last” to planning Season 3, CJ and Rudy reflect on how a tavern-style D&D podcast grew into a real community.

A Look Back at Season 2’s Guests From Dice Circus to The Crit Awards, Nomadic Bard to Coffee & D&D, the crew reminisces about meeting creators from all over the world and how every single guest showed up humble, hilarious, and down-to-earth.

Dante’s Legacy (and Legal Troubles) Skeletons with W-2s. Mermaid bathwater. Haunted nonsense. Dante’s news segments get their flowers — even if he’s currently locked in the dungeon awaiting bail.

Favorite Moments & Unplanned Chaos The moments where everyone broke character, lost it laughing, or watched a guest immediately jump into the madness without hesitation.

Why This Isn’t a “Professional Podcast” — On Purpose No scripts. No polish. No gatekeeping. Just nerds in a tavern asking questions, sharing laughs, and celebrating tabletop culture.

Community Over Clout Why this show isn’t about “cornering the market,” but about lifting up creators, staying connected, and building something genuine.

Season 3 Teasers

• New faces
