I wrote out a really fun description for this episode, and was ready to turn over a new leaf into the new year. I talked about how beautiful it was that you've joined me to listen. How nice it is that I'm able to take in all of this content and share it with you all. How it's weird that you might be listening to this episode while you read this, so you're listening to me twice in a way, and do you hear my voice when you read this part, or your own? I'm telling you, there was a lot of good stuff in there. Then I accidentally hit the command that closes the tab, and none of it saved. Nailed it.

Luckily (a peek behind the curtain here), I'm typing this before the clock strikes midnight on New Year's Eve, so we can leave all the unlucky vibes in the past.

2022 wasn't totally unlucky though...I actually had a great year overall, and with that came a ton of content (by the way do I use the ellipsis too much? I feel like I might. There's an achievable 2023 resolution). Like last year, I wanted to put a button on the year (where do all these buttons come from anyway? who's still making buttons? Except for shirt makers...and pants I guess...actually this keyboard is full of buttons...okay buttons are still in), by recommending my top 5 pieces of content in each of my favorite genres.

If you're looking to catch up on the year that was, get in on the conversation about the most awesome popular stuff, or pull out a deep recommendation what will make everyone raise their eyebrows with intrigue (if you sell it right...you better sell it... also seriously, watch Primal), this is the episode for you. 

Have some things you think I'd like? Post them @thelink_podcast where I'll be sharing plenty of content this week from all of the things I named...and maybe I'll cave and point out some honorable mentions that I didn't think about in the moment.

I'm happy to have you on this ride as we go into another year. Bigger and better things on the horizon. Plus, another one of your recommendations to sound cool at the water cooler is this very podcast, so I'm giving you cred, and you're giving me listeners. I love our relationship. 

See you on the other side.

Another tip heading into the new year? You should be following the MikeTheMush Sports channel, available on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube. We've had a great year of gambling picks in 2022, finishing up over +100 units, clearing our goal, and making the listeners plenty of money. You'll see picks posted there at least once a week, if not more, with breakdown videos, reaction to the biggest news, and general pot stirring. I have separated my love for sports with my love for nerd culture, that way I can get you to subscribe twice. If I'm getting you free money on here, it's the least you can do. Now the NFL playoffs are coming soon, so get stretched out while I prepare my pump-up speech for you all. It's money making season. This is where all the research pays off...or the biggest mushings happen. Only one way to find out...
