What is next for Johnny Hamcheck after revealing his identity?

Johnny Hamcheck told Theo Von that a movie about him is in the works and that a crew plans to start following him for a documentary within a couple of months. He wants to put his phone down for a couple of months after the podcast, make pranks only when they come naturally, and use his platform for something positive, though he does not yet know what.

• Hamcheck says he stopped live shows because pay of $1,500 to $2,500 was not worth it and announcing dates exposed him to death threats.
• Hamcheck says his son is a sophomore at Ohio State and does not drink or use drugs.
