it's april third 2012 and welcome to the final rumor has it the show where we rounded up the week's hottest rumors and then bet on them and i'll declare an ultimate winner of the universe of the internet so we are tied at 10 million points turns out it was a tie I know after all this this is like the cliffhangers because there is no next season we just ended with my god my favorite show that ever was on TV scream queens oh I know when I shall win heavily when Emily first started working here and we became fast friends and and she admitted to me that that was her favorite show and it was on vh1 for a really short mid season and it was the best season of my life because it was girls auditioning to be the star in a horror movie and they all suck they were horrible at the worst actresses in the world yeah anyways that's not that's not what we were we're fabulous no we're great but we only lasted one season yeah Barry yeah the 26 yet is this are 26 is our 27 episode so that's exactly a season yes so we made it to twenty seven episodes thank you to everybody for being here with us along the way and we've got a quite a show yeah for today um it's gonna be a little bit not like her other shows because we're not gonna talk about rumors today because what what is the point just kidding no but I mean we are hoping to bring you a show that will cover the week's hottest tech rumors it will be in a new format but since this is the final episode of our podcast gambling show there's no point in bedding so we're just going to have some fan love and some fan appreciation and like a big hippie dippie techy geeky kumbaya moment we're a couple of that we're gonna have a couple of kumbaya hippy dippy moment yeah and we're just gonna express our love for you and each other maybe we'll drink water I know that's you know what Berkman was like did you bring a lot of alcohol to the studio today I was like you we brought everything but the alcohol which is why I'm going to bring us some champagne but then I decided that I don't want to celebrate with champagne something that actually is sad sorry yeah it is I mean this is sad no yeah i mean we're putting on a brave face for the internet you know I know every day we're crying um but it is we do have faced it in the long run this we're going to come back here to you guys and decide yet somewhere yeah there yeah for sure cuz i think that this show has potential to be a great on you want to abandon you guys so but of course you know you can still contact us i don't think the rumor has it email address is going anywhere national email addresses aren't going anywhere twitter is not definitely not going anywhere you're still gonna be engaged in a behind-the-scenes Twitter war you know exactly so we're still I mean that I'm still my my butt is being kicked I'm not going to get rid of the rumor has it seen it a rumor has it sorry at Twitter account show because every yeah at rumor show because I think that it's still part I think it's gonna live I think the show is gonna live on yeah I think this show will live on in infamy this is a day that should be long remembered the day that rumor has it continued on so I rose from the cave every day sorry I don't know why I had to make a Jesus joke because it's easter yeah all right on Sunday yeah and pass over on saturday oh my goodness so um on that note you should we get to our most important sure well the most important thing was to continue following us as green leafy at Emily Dreyfus at even even Beecham creamy me at Emily Dreyfus SS is Tom Julia Louise yeah I mean I my own this is the first time I even Beecham yeah I produced things yeah you do sir and then he couldn't have done this show without you I know Stephen was like the most important part of this a pleasure like these girls came to me in like October or something yeah and you're like we're interested in doing a show and I was like yeah let's let's shoot a pilot we shot a pilot I went pitched it to Bonnie my boss and bonnie was like yeah sure sounds fun let's do it great and then it was actually kind of crazy because I had been pitching the show to Bonnie as a stand-up show and she was like we don't have room for that we can only do a podcast finally after months of me pitching it to her she goes finally sure okay do you have anyone who can do it with you and I want I want you to go and meet with Stephen and do a pilot today yeah Kareem was home sick as a dog and I called her and said do you want to do a show with me and if so can you come into the office right now and we'll plan it and I was like be there in half an hour yeah she literally like came in we plan to show we did a pilot and then it was greatest energy yeah I thought it was really fun totally and like we based how it red or how it sounded her based on Stephens laughs yeah we're like I see cuz I was like basically the first time we'd ever met steven regal he liked it so maybe we got somethin here in here so it was pretty funny so that was a it was a good I always said man I always look forward to Tuesday's cuz i know i'm just gonna come in and laugh my ass off for two hours straight with this show and then crave totally june after the end of Tuesday's after like noon i was like exhausted your stomach is all he has good exercise class laughing all right so oh maybe we'll release the pilot one time yea though before I would have done the blog yeah I'll put the pilot in the blog I'm sure I still have I still have it I have it on my desk yeah and I'll put posted on my youtube cool that'll be like another humiliation day because we really didn't know what we were doing I mean it was and it was like I iphone and jelly bean yeah it was actually we had really good rumors on that show oh yeah and then we like we're like oh we wasted these on yeah he's ever gonna say they're like wait we're allowed to talk about them again cuz no one's gonna see this yeah and then we did yeah spoiler alert alright so should we um so we couldn't we so since its last show part of our show is about is being humiliated on the last day of the month or whoever loses loses the betting war the first day of the following month or the last day of the month whatever has to do a humiliation and so since we're all winners at the game of life with 10 million points each include thatting doesn't include Twitter clout no no clout died and grout we just stopped yeah because everyone else couldn't understand clout and we decided we could go screw it yeah i know we then we realized that we don't understand it either and we didn't like it and we didn't want even though I was winning I was the one thing I was winning it so we decided that we would all partake in today's a humiliation day it's not really humiliating but it is for you guys it is for me I mean you guys I have to say this is the humiliation I've been the most nervous about of the entire show like every other one I was like oh this is kind of funny but really I can handle it this one I might really really really we came in rehearse this before the show today cuz we were all so nervous yeah yeah yeah we ran it a couple times did it all over the weekend so um should we do and the thing is if we mess up this is our show we could do it over I mean we'll do it twice I'm gonna be like cut cut Oh start over then you'll see diva Emily emerge as you thought all I had living inside me was a Russian woman and a tenant old lady who lived down by the creek right i also have living inside me i feel you deep fe from dreamgirls row i'll be like Oh propria yeah i need another zero size zero' in my contract and eminem's in my dressing room yeah so alright so this is actually kind of like a request that you guys have made it's not multiple times multiple times you guys have really really pitched this one and um here we go I think we should start okay here we go we must go I'm sad to say that this will be our final show we had a great run the bedding board and Twitter Wars and all that was so fun one last time I'll say that coal cows went and stole our gaze or neighs plans also long goodbyes we must say we made big fools of ourselves on humiliation day we took some sonic repairs just to even the score now rumor has it we ain't gotta show anymore Rumour Has It rumour has it Rumour Has It rumour has it what to kick it one

theater I would like be so confident and like rehearsals would go so well and then right before going on a stage no matter what like even if I knew it was so gonna be great I would just be like a puddle of nervousness like I should I totally almost just pee my pants yeah and I was like I'm gonna vomit because I should have practiced that song one more time it's like no you shouldn't have like

highlight of this of it yeah highlights enrollment in our live vegas shows and front line was there supporting us in the audience we got to meet him so wonderful um okay but before we all just totally break down and are not able to read these emails okay yes you go you want me to start okay um we just are going to read a random selection because there were too many and but this one is from tom l Tom I won't give his full email address actually um Tom wrote I was saddened to hear about rumor has it being cancelled hearing the rumors covered with the interactions between Emily crane and Stephen makes whatever they're covering more interesting i hope there will be a way to preserve the chemistry of the show with one of the new on demand shows at seen it we do too we hope so too please do you want me just read all through all mine sure and then yeah then i'll read through this one is from chandler Skinner who actually came to the scene at offices in san francisco and we met he and his mom and his sister yeah and that was super tour because he had emailed us and told us that he was going to be in town and we were like oh okay and then he was like could we be on the show and i was like i don't know because we've already planned that show like and so but then it worked out anyway he came we gave him a little tour he gave him one of our ratona displease yes and some and some sticker see ya so he said I'm very sad to see the show go away I've watched since the very beginning and you all have made me laugh every Tuesday it was very nice of you to take time away from your work to show me around the cnet offices after episode 24 when I was in San Francisco thanks for the laughs and the rumors what a nice guy is a nice kid and he's me in like seventh grade I know you Sean little yeah we thought we thought we were gonna meet a 42 year old man ya know he was a little little kid um now this one isn't uh roughly a little bit of a different vein here folks ah it's not exactly the polite email but it's pretty funny there's a quote at the top as it rose from this is from Doyle Doyle wrote in to say no one ever went broke under estimating the intelligence of the American people HL Mencken and then below that he wrote WTF is CBS collectively on meth but the cancelling all my favorite shows I guess they just want to increase twin tekzilla viewership but on Dr Dee seen it fan since before World War two I love that he said things usually say are they on crack you just like took it a step oh yeah today are you a day on methamphetamines yeah that's one which I hear is the way to ruin your life um okay Kendall stark sent us a bunch of stuff but I'm just going to read a short bit of his email Kendall thank you so much for being one of our like most vocal fans ladies I'm heartsick over the news of the untimely death of rumor has it I know I can live without love I've been married for 37 years but I can't live without you he loves us say we can see you sometimes somewhere and then he attached a joke to to us that was pretty funny yeah um but long so it's not going to be read here in its entirety but we appreciate it so much Kendall start and I'm gonna frame it um then this one comes from Kevin hissel he wrote the combination of Kareem and emily is Magic their personalities are so entertaining that I am dreading the show going away please bring these two back in some vehicle that spotlights their personalities combined with tech news and rumors here here here here to the powers that be and then then trap Travis is the most recent email we have received hello rumor has it crew we read the subject line the subject line is maybe minus don't leave excavation actually there's a fixation and then Travis is a really cute little picture of himself so he looks adorable and he says hello rumor has it crew I want to know why you were leaving and the rest of my favorite shows on cnet these shows are what inspire me I would like to know why all of these shows are leaving I would rather have 30 minutes or one hour show than a three-minute one I hope maybe later on in cnet history these type of shows will come back oh and by the way my name is travis from pound virginia clothe him house love you Travis that was yeah yeah okay it was nice so i have i have a few that of my favorite said i wanted to read this one is from austin norton he says rumor has it has changed my life the best show on the internet by far I mean obviously this is why I'm reading this on because he's so nice um but the best show on the internet by far I love the show I love the jokes I love the rumors I love you too soon now it's never to take this show is the highlight of my week and I hope I can continue to watch it in an on-demand format Cena has made a huge mistake and the internet will grieve your loss and you will not be soon forgotten also cinnamon challenge perhaps no way never I think so it would be so funny no it's horrible have a good week and this may be the last time we get to talk so know that you have one moil Wisconsin fan that will miss your guys's show greatly loved Austin Norton and then he says PS the typos will probably drive Kareem crazy they did next time send me a proof and I will read it and then you can then you can send it so that was from austin next we have from eric zinc oh love the show rumor has it is awesome then we have one from Marion whistle oh this is my favorite this one is amazing I am very disappointed too oh it says oh no don't go I'm very disappointed to learn that the rumor has it show has been canceled the show had become my first watch on Wednesdays beating the rachel maddow show the show the show the show is my way of keeping up with a bit of the electronic world without really trying thank you all for the show Korean Emily and Steven here's where it gets real Emily and Kareem it is not that I don't have a sense of humor but I must admit that as an old lady humiliation was my least favorite part of the show a generation thing I know but please don't spend the whole last show and humiliations I hope that rumor has it did not make her uncomfortable our song um it's too uncomfortable for women in their 50 60 s to see anyone humiliate themselves but particularly to smart funny sensitive women how far have we come ladies being willing to laugh at yourself is important but respecting yourselves is more important as I said a generational thing ask some older women friends I look forward to watching rumor has it in its next incarnation or at least hearing more from Emmaline Crean I appreciate it Steven to and all the best in wherever this show this all takes you I love that email I mean I feel like for some reason I knew she lived in Connecticut why do i why did I think that I don't know I don't know I just feel like I knew this I know this person like I actually feel like that about all of our fans like whenever you guys write us or send us voice mails or send us anything I feel like you're our buddies that I actually really we've bonded with and gotten to know a lot of you and I feel like you guys are sad to see esco but we're also really sad to lose you and yes that interaction absolute um and you know I it's like in this case I don't even know this woman was watching our show and then she wrote a such a thoughtful piece and it really means a lot yeah absolutely exactly that's exactly right I know every time we would get a voicemail or an email or something and they'd be like I'm in Canada and one guy was in the Bahamas and we're like god oh my god we're reaching all over the world I mean it was amazing and I used to whenever we get voicemails you can them like just right out on the phone but the way that it comes through the system it actually immediately plays on speakerphone on my phone there's no way to just listen through the outer piece and so like whenever I would get one wherever I was no matter what I would play it for everyone like my friends have made fun of me because like will be a lad at a bar and I'll be like stop everything i have received voice it'll be like Kareem levy has amazing calf muscles and then and then ran in that's like Riley Davis stay golden Riley we will you too buddy so um alright here's one from Nikki Francis hi i am a big fan of your show and i am really sad it as being cancelled I've watched in separate texts row of all time I hope cnet will relaunch the show and leave it the same I think it should not be shorter I'm also sad because all of the cnet live shows are being canceled hopefully all the cnet live shows will not be canceled I also hope you will have a new show about tech that would be great I really am sad about this and wish you the best of luck please email back if you have a new show we went we will I do don't worry Nikki Francis we will email back if we get a new show um this one is from HT hi i am a tech director in canada see in canada for a large company in
