Plot
Following a sponsored message for the service SwagBucks, the episode begins proper with Jon retrieving a bottle of Dan Aykroyd's Crystal Skull Vodka that has been filled with sparkling box wine, a callback to the third episode of the season. He then informs the viewer that it's been a little while since they've had a "heart-to-heart" with one another.

He then addresses the fact that due to taking the majority of 2017 and 2018 off, his viewers have made comments critiquing or making light of Jon's upload schedule. He tells them it's "time to stop", directly referencing Filthy Frank, before moving on.

Jon then talks about the new studio before discussing his unfortunate timing with not one, but two of his most recent videos; Dr Ho: License to Practice, which featured a scene where Jon plays the Hunchback of Notre Dame on the same day the cathedral, which had stood for close to 1,000 years, was largely destroyed in a fire, and JT FITNESS: Sweatin' it out with OJ, which was uploaded the same week O.J. Simpson created his Twitter account.
