Hey guys! We just want to thank you for all of your support over the last 100+ episodes of our little podcast show! (if you think that 3 hour long shows are little anyways!) This episode actually marks our 105th show and was actually recorded a few months ago now. With our schedule, we had to release a few of the other episodes first to be able to squeeze all the end of year content in! This show also ends Season 5, and we'll be back without a break to kick off Season 6 in a few weeks time! Enjoy reminiscing about all 100 episodes of the show at this point with us, and we'll do this again when we hit 200 :D
