Hi, this is Matt Young from the Improvice Star Trek.

Happy New Year, everyone.

We are really fortunate to have you as listeners and fans,

and we just wanted to take this moment to say thank you for doing that.

It is our absolute pleasure to perform this show and we have a really

good time together and we're happy that you all care enough about it to keep following. We just

wanted to say, in addition to Happy New Year, just look back at the year and say what a few

of our favorite episodes were. So if you're just jumping in, this is a great way to like find

some of our favorites and help you get caught up.

There are a lot of great episodes this year.

I think there's one or two that we all really think were particularly outstanding.

But I'm going to point out one of my favorites this year was episode 170, stranded in the

subspace of love.

But we had a really fun time, and there was a point in that episode where Eli, as one of the jug band players, speaking in a weird Southern drawl, made me break harder than I've maybe ever broken in my life.

It's a really fun, silly episode and you should check it out.

Hey, hello, I'm I and that I'm in Julia Weiss.

One of my favorite episodes of all time, but especially this year, is episode 167, like literally forever.

And what I think it's wonderful to listen to,

but there was just, when we were recording it,

there was this truly, like, very cool, like,
