To follow in the same vein of Manimal and given the occasion, I thought I'd give my top ten episodes of the Happy Hour so far. These are my personal faves for different reasons and ranking them is quite hard to do, but I've given it a go. (I've only included Happy Hour episodes in this, so no After Hours, 12 Days of Xmas etc.)
No. 10
10.) Episode 38: The slice of life-cast
"We'll start off the list with an episode that was a pleasent suprise. Me and manimal went in with a vague idea of talking about Slice of Life shows. Thats it, that was the prep we did for it. But it flowed really well, a good theme and strong central topic kept the show tight and entertaining. Was a fun episode to record and one that is worth checking out if you're interested in the genre".
No. 9
9.) Episode 77: We Love D*ck Wizards"(Kinda) fresh off our trip to London, we got together to talk all things LAGC and a lot of random shizz. I listened back to this recently and forgotten lots of the topics. The pokemon naming bit made me laugh out loud again as I'd totally forgot about it. Go check this episode out, its 2 hours of goodness

No. 8
8.) Episode 51: Happy Hour Shippuden
"Due to major tech issues, I was somewhat disappointed with episode 50. This episode thankfully went off without a hitch and more than made up for the previous show. I think this one flew under the radar a bit judging by views, but its one I'd recommend. The energy is there and its fun from start to finish. Plus it has a segment I'd love to bring back...Anime Surgery!"
No. 7
7.) Episode 31: The Great Depression is Gonna Create Two Kinds Of People [Red Version]
"This was such a different kind of episode. So much so that it was more an episode of Geekula rather than a Happy Hour. But it's great. To those unfamiliar, Geekula is a podcast ran by Will and Dylan, who're pals of Coryn and Nair. They do some great shows and this was one was the fallout of their joint trip to Naka-kon. A rare episode where Coryn hosts, it was great fun to listen to"
No. 6
6.) Episode 28: The Bliss of a Good Wang Burn
"Ah..How could this not make the cut? I'll admit at the time of recording, I wasn't high on this episode. But when it was released...It was just incredible. It was so random, we'll never do another show like this. Live podcasting in the gym was sadly, a one time deal. But it will live long in my memory thats for sure!"
No. 5
5.) Episode 82: Village Hidden In The Prison, Don't Drop The Jutsu!
"This is one of those episodes where it just went right. I don't know how to describe it. We didn't do anything special or have a killer guest/topic for the show. Soon as we got rolling, it just went off on a random tangent about Grandparents as kitchen appliances. The title is one of my faves too. Its the most recent one on the list I believe (although 99.5 narrowly missed out on the list)"
No. 4
4.) Episode 22: 2015 Year End Awards
"Was a great way to end the first year of the happy hour and a busy Christmas period. Also, if you couldn't already tell, I love looking back and a year end awards is a great opportunity to do just that. Its something I'd love to do this year too! Also, this is where it began...The first Happy Hour I was on with Manimal!"
No. 3
3.) Episode 5: Meister-Baiters; Hitler was the First Weeaboo
"Speaking of firsts, this was the first episode Nairbons was on. Boy what an episode it was! If you want to go back to the early days of the Happy Hour, check this one out! (In fact the first 5 are great to listen to!)"
No. 2
2.) Episode 73: Handshakers Worse Than Trump?
"Best ep. of 2017 so far. Don't know what else to say. The chemistry was great, there was a good flow and a vast range of topics. If you're looking for a show to listen to thats not the latest episode then go check this one out"
No. 1
1.) Episode 19: Is This the Weirdest Yaoi Manga Of All Time!?
"Number 1!!! It had to be this one. I don't quite know what it is I love about this one so much. I've re-listened to this one multiple times. IThe first 20 mins alone are sensational! Jerk off crystals and FF15 in the same conversation. I'll say no more, just go listen to it."
And that's it! That's my picks for now...They will probably change in a couple of months. This list was really tough to make, since nigh on every episode has its strong points. But for now that's my list of the first 99 episodes. Here's to another 100 with tons of fun moments, entertaining segments and faux intellectual discussions!!!
