    Ep. 101: The Mannequin Challenge and Bottle Flipping

    2016 was the greatest year of all time. In Episode One, host Adam Beck gets nostalgic and tries to explain two of the biggest trends of 2016, Bottle Flipping and The Mannequin Challenge.

You could produce a Hollywood level video production with the mannequin challenge and be considered the next George Lucas. You could also just flip a water bottle and be labeled as better than George Lucas. In this episode we highlight the two trends that I believe best define this year, not just in pop culture but in the outlook on life at the time.  Adam loves 2016, and if you listen all the way though I'm sure you do to.
