The closing segment has Jason and Travis thank both guest groups — the Ertzes and Knoxville — and direct listeners to follow the show @NewH1GHTSShow, check out Jackass: Best and Last in theaters June 26th, and subscribe to Julie Ertz's Style of Play podcast with Kealia Watt on Spotify. Travis offers a heartfelt note about the 92 percenters tuning in every week and credits the production team.

It's a light, fond close to a dense, three-segment episode.
