(12/30/2025 - Hour two)

It's the most wonderful time of the year...and it's also the last show of the year. Tonight we take it back...all the way back to the beginning of the year!

It's been a while since I did an official "Year In Review" style show and tonight we bring it back. Over the 2 hour show tonight, we will take a look back at the past 12 months worth of shows, highlight guests, topics, disasters, victories and everything in between. Could there be a better way to end the year...Probably...but this is what you get!

Happy New Year to you!
