Nice work everyone, I especially enjoyed The Wilhelm Scream introduction although I think that track and artist are extremely overrated. Looking forward to the next installment.

What a lovely episode. It’s amazing to hear our CP kids a year older.

My favorite CP of the year is always the FF show. Love hearing new voices intermingled with the regulars, and it’s a treat to hear the kids. Some of my favorite songs are always in the bottom third, so it’s often my favorite episode of the FF. Happy 2012, everyone.

Love this!
The In Crowd: I am so going to use the phrase “A hook that cooks”. Fantastic.
Seems like the young set (Bella and David) are loving Adele. I wonder which adult loves her more and gets to do the intro?
Mrs Loser, you crack me up every year. So funny.
Mike, I had no idea about the Wilhelm Scream. I think your intro was my favorite. Very cool.
Happy New Year to all of you. xxoo
