I am. What are we doing in December? Like I'm sorry how did we get here?

I'm not sure I'm actually just to glaze right over that and move on to the next point which is as I was going through and doing the outline and going through everything that happened this year, I really realize it has been quite the year for pop culture.

I have to tell you guys that before we started recording I said that to Julie Cash

and I was like wow how do we get to December and she was like you cannot say that

on the episode or I will have a panic attack.

Just in case you were wondering how it's going over here.

No, and I am feeling a little panicky if I'm being honest.

Which by the way, I just want to say in case this comes up for us or anyone as you listen the end of the year it is just naturally a reflective time which can be really wonderful but also you know can bring up some emotion so if anyone's experiencing anything that doesn't feel

great just know you are certainly not alone in that. Thank you so much for saying

that. It's like a necessary reminder for me at least. No I'm not kidding like I needed that for a second. I hear you I hear you.

Okay so the way that we did this is basically it's not every single thing that happened this year,

but we pretty much did it chronologically, major events that happened every month.
