Hello, Zyte Gang, and welcome to the end of the year. During these two weeks surrounding Christmas and the new year, we take some time off.

During the mornings, we'll run some new holiday and end-of-the-year content that you can listen to while we're taking a break.

In addition to all that stuff in the afternoons, where we would usually drop the trends episode. We are rerunning the 10 most

popular episodes of this year, according to you. You voted with your dang ears, and we listened

with ours. Actually, we looked at the data. We're spying on you. Honestly, I'm mostly in this

podcasting thing. For the rich marketing data, spying on you. Honestly, I'm mostly in this podcasting thing for the rich

marketing data. It provides to me about each and every one of you. At the end of the year,

when I look back to see what made the top 10, and this was actually my favorite year to look

back at, our top 10 is full of episodes. I feel like made it

because of a bunch of different reasons. There are some episodes that dropped after huge news

events. There are some first episodes that dropped right after some hilarious news events,

some great new guests, some classic fan favorite guests, and some new

formats we tried out that we're very excited to see that you guys enjoyed. Before we get into it,

I just want to thank you guys for once again being such a cool community that's bloomed up

around this podcast we've been doing all these years. You guys repeatedly make us proud.

You're there for us when we go through some really difficult shit. You show up at shows of our guests

and we always get great reports from our guests about our listeners. You are the rare podcast audience

that makes us extremely proud to have you as listeners so far.

So don't fuck this up, you guys.

And coming in at number one, the number one episode of the year with the number one

thickest thighs on a guest.

Of course, we're talking Blake Wexler, Mr. Plumper's himself.
