Ass-Kickers! We've been doing this for five years now (over five years, as I write this), and... wow. We never get the chance to toot our own horns, but we're going to - just this once - because, damn. We're proud of what we've been able to do, we're proud of all of the content that we've produced, and we're proud that we get to continue to do this - hopefully for another five years, and beyond.
We talk about all of it in this episode... it's a Vibes episode, which is our more conversational episode type. We felt that this was the perfect way to properly give the last five years its due.
From the beginning, amidst the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdown, to several new episode types, countless album/newly-charting top-40 single reviews, dumb bits, and more dumb bits... we feel like we've done a lot. And all of it is thanks to all of you.
We know that we haven't had the largest following, and that's okay! If we did this for no one, we would still love it. If you're reading this - no matter how many of you are reading this - just know that we're absolutely stoked to have you around. And also just know that the next five years will be far better than even the awesome first five have been.
And, as has always been the case, we truly care what all of you have to think. What were some of your favorite episodes or episode types? What about least-favorite? And what would you like to see us do in the future?

Next week: an episode about a year that was, by all accounts, 2009. A bit of a spoiler, perhaps. The perfect complement to a bit of Ass-Kicking. From you.
