Hey guys! We just want to thank you for all of your support over the last 100+ episodes of our little podcast show! (if you think that 3 hour long shows are little anyways!)Watch the visual show version for this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/soIuVfF6Z28This episode actually marks our 105th show and was actually recorded a few months ago now. With our schedule, we had to release a few of the other episodes first to be able to squeeze all the end of year content in!This show also ends Season 5, and we'll be back without a break to kick off Season 6 in a few weeks time!Enjoy reminiscing about all 100 episodes of the show at this point with us, and we'll do this again when we hit 200 :D
