On episode 19, Ben, Jen, Evan and Aaron turn 2025 into a Chain Reaction — our game-show-style showdown where everyone’s year-end lists collide, points are earned, and chaos reigns. Think music draft meets group therapy meets spirited debate over which Spanish language album is best.

My own ballot runs the full spectrum: from LUX glow to MAYHEM, from quiet devastation to maximalist nonsense, from pop reinvention to left-field risk. Bad Bunny sat next to FKA twigs. Bon Iver stared down Chris Lake. Little Simz bloomed like a Lotus while HAIM shrugged and said I quit. There were no safe picks, only strong opinions and louder reactions.

We babble. We laugh. We overthink. Evan talked about windmills.

This is the episode where the year gets stress-tested — not just what we loved, but why we loved it, what stuck, what aged instantly, and what might quietly define the decade looking forward.
