The Fairly KickAss Podcast

May is the worst. Let me explain. So back in 2021, I (Zack - yo) did a dumb bit in the podcast description of the May monthly reviews for new albums and charting singles. I talked about how May marks the 5/12ths point of the year. And then I talked about a lot of other 5/12ths of things. It doesn't make sense yet, I know. But one of my fatal flaws is that I can't let go of a bit. So, in that spiri...

After a brief detour into Fortnite Festival, we launched into the episode, with each of us putting our own unique spin on our favorite songs for those good ol' end times - hopefully a scenario that won't come to pass for many generation...
