| 0:36.5 | Hey everybody. It's Nick Layton. And I'm Leah Bonama. And for the last two and a half years, |
| 0:40.7 | we have had a new episode every single week. Every week. We haven't skipped any. I mean, it's unbelievable. |
| 0:46.3 | I honestly think like, oh, wow. I mean, did you think when we started? I mean, no. Of course not. |
| 0:51.9 | So this week, though, we thought we could use a break. And so we're not going to leave empty-handed. We want to give you one of our favorite episodes, which is episode 100. It's a compilation of lots of different favorite moments in different episodes. And we're going to be back next week with an all-new episode, and it's only one week. We're not taking a month. I feel like it makes it sound like we're taking a month. |
| 1:12.4 | We're just taking one week. |
| 1:13.6 | No, there's too many etiquette problems out there. We can't go off duty. And when we come back, it's going to be 2022, a whole new year. Oh, my goodness. I'm so excited. Do you have any New Year's resolutions? I don't normally do resolutions, but I did say something to the other day, which I decided, I'm going to make that my resolution. |
| 1:30.6 | Oh, what I did say something to the other day, which I decided, I'm going to make that my resolution. |
| 1:30.6 | Oh, what did you say? |
| 1:32.1 | I said that, you know, on all these adventure movies I watch, people inevitably have to pull themselves up. |
| 1:38.0 | Oh, sure. |
| 1:39.1 | To like get over a building to save their lives. |
| 1:42.1 | Uh-huh. |
| 1:42.6 | And if I was hanging by my legs, I could pull myself up. I have strongly, I could walk across the country. My arms, I'm not 100% sure I could save my own life if I had to pull myself up over a building or hang for more than 30 seconds. Okay. So that is my goal. So hanging from the side of a building, being able to not die. I think that's a great goal. Thank you. Thank you so much. And what's yours? For me, I am always looking to simplify. It's my resolution every year. And I'm always just looking to make my life less complicated. Just more streamlined. Get rid of the noise. Get rid of the extraneous things. It's very much my aesthetic. Very, you know, it's not very adorned. You know, just trying to get to the pith, like pure essence. So I'm just always looking to trim things out, trim people out, trim objects out. Yeah, I've always just tried to trim. So 2022, I will continue that journey. I love it. It's so you. And you out there, thank you for being on a journey |
| 2:34.6 | with us so far. And we can't wait to see what 2022 has for all of us. Yes, we are so grateful for you. |
| 2:41.0 | I'm just, I'm really honored that people share so much the letters and the messages. I feel honored. |
| 2:48.5 | And thank you for spending such a wonderful year with us. And we look forward |
| 2:52.2 | to going into 2022 with you. And we want to wish you the happiest of New Year's. Yes. All of that, |
| 2:58.8 | ditto. And now, without further ado, episode 100. Roll tape. Today we are celebrating our hundredth episode. |
