Yo, what's up everybody, Jake and Holden here.

I'm Jake, and this, that is Holden here. I'm Jake, and that is Holden.

All right, I don't talk like a dog.

I don't talk like a dog.

All right, either way.

We are doing a bit of a network-wide vacation, which is important, I think, for all of us to recharge and to just for our editors

to be released from their cages, to see the outside world, which must be fun.

The doctors said they had rickets because we kept them indoors all year up until now.

And so legally, because of rickets-based legislation, we have to give them a break. So that said, what we wanted to do is essentially what we've done in the past, where we release a little batch of some of our Patreon bonus content for you guys. Give you a little bit of a taste, a little bit of that. You know what I'm saying? We're being like the drug dealer right now. Give you a little taste so that then you maybe think, like, hey, maybe $5 a month,

not so crazy, right, to support my fifth favorite podcast.

Hey, hey, we're number 10 in Arts and Leisure on Spotify.

So enjoy this.

This is the first episode we're dropping here is a collection of our year that was that we,

you may have heard from the holidays, but this is going to be the year that was 2007,

2008, and 2009. Very fascinating stuff, especially as we're starting to catch up more

with, I guess, like our modern day, and definitely this is what, me in New York, but just kind of getting to New York

and struggling with getting my sketch comedy group, Murder Fist off the ground. And in these

episodes, we just talk about all the stuff, the music, the video games, the movies, mostly

video games and movies, a little bit of TV and music thrown in, that came out that year. And we noticed that that really seems to swell up a lot of nostalgia, a lot of

memories. But also, it's very fun to take a year and review like that. Take one year and look at

the media that came out and just be like, hey, for example, I don't think, no, if this is true or not,

but for example, 2008 was like a weird fucking year for comedies.
