0:05.3

figuring out Paris, figuring out France. And the Yearful Tower, if you didn't figure it out,

0:10.9

is a play on words of the Eiffel Tower, but it's for your ears. So what we're about to do today is

0:17.2

New Year's Eve as I'm sitting here recording this and we're going to do a flashback

0:21.4

throwback episode. New Year's Eve is a bit of a time of reflection. So I looked through all the

0:27.0

statistics and found which episode of the Earful Tower 2018 was the most downloaded and well,

0:34.9

you'll find out what it is in a second. first a few words about this year it's been a

1:36.3

ears. And James said he'd had his morning coffee at this point on Christmas Day and realized that

1:41.4
