Don't you love how I made you sit through that entire thing?

I really just needed us to experience it in full.

Hi everybody, welcome back to the Be There In 5 Podcast on Cake Kennedy Your Host.

This is our 100th episode.

And also marks two years of doing this podcast as of this past Tuesday.

Two important milestones indeed, and this is perhaps the fifth time I've scrapped the

episode and started over and tried to figure out what was the best thing to talk about.

What's the best way to encapsulate all that's happened in 100 episodes of pop culture and

personal chatter that has turned into what is now one of the things I'm most proud of

in my life and is built a community that has become absolutely indispensable.

And one quick housekeeping thing, I have so many things I want to say and we'll have fun

in this episode.

I want to clarify, I do have three sponsors.

This is an uncharted territory for me.

I try to build my podcast as a reflection of my own values and what I want in content.

And I don't like when I don't want to be the person that overexplains and I'm sure

people are going to be like, just own it and like, yes.

But also I don't like when people can't get in a word edu-wise without, you know, zip

or grudder who I love, but they're not a sponsor.

Sorry, you know what I mean?

Just an example.

And my point is for my 100th episode, it actually is inconvenient as it is to the listener.
