MESSAGE FROM JON ORLANDO: We started this podcast three years ago. It all started with Me, and Jake Ellenberger at Hollywood Park Casino. Then from there we did the show literally wherever we could; in the basement of my apartment building, at RVCA gym in Orange County, in the lobby of the Bellagio, from my couch in my apartment, and one time somehow I ended up in Daniel Negreanu's living room doing the show! Now for our 100th episode we find ourselves in our newly remodeled studio at Show Creators Studios in Las Vegas doing a 24 hour live podcast with 26 guests! Well, almost 24 hours...I tapped out at 20 hours but only because a handful of guests canceled down the stretch. Trying to make a good living doing something you love as many of you know is beyond stressful at times. Doing this podcast has been lots of; hard work, ups and downs, happy tears and sad tears over the past three years. We live in a world now where you're solely judged on likes, comments and views. As a result of that, sometimes it makes it difficult to be proud of your own work. While this show isn't anywhere as big as I want it to be, I'm very proud of what its become over the last three years and I'm even more excited about where I believe its going. I just wanted to take a minute to say thank you to those of you that have supported The Action Junkeez Podcast through all of the ups and downs, it means the world to me: Mack Woodward, Vanessa Serros, Jake Ellenberger, Travis Flesher, Ian Harrington, Amanda Deacon, London Thomas, George Sacco, Peter Elkin, Cayman Elkin, Matt Kelly, Adam Lieberman, Giovanni Elmore, Dr. Steve Kim, Hollywood Smile, Galpin Auto Sports, MyBookie, and everyone that's ever been a guest on the show!

Please spread the word so the next 100 shows can be even bigger! Thank you, Jon O.
