<p class="p1" data-rte-preserve-empty="true" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">It’s the end of the year and the final Roach Koach of 2025! Lorin and Matt kick things off by welcoming back Ashley Woolsey to discuss this year’s edition of Louisville Loves Nu-Metal. They talk highlights, Lorin’s hosting, and and of course where they parked the car. Later in the episode, Lorin and Matt break down their lists of favorite songs, albums, and movies from the past year, as well as discuss The Nu-Metal Agenda’s lists of best nu-metal albums and songs. We love a list! To close things out, the guys make some resolutions and intentions for the upcoming ten year anniversary of the Koach, and listen to the latest installment of Rippers for Roaches 2.&nbsp;</p><p class="p1" data-rte-preserve-empty="true" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Thank you everyone who listened all year, let’s keep it rolling into 2026!&nbsp;</p><p class="p2" data-rte-preserve-empty="true" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"></p><p class="p1" data-rte-preserve-empty="true" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">The Crack, the Butt Rock Bracket is here on the <a href="https://patreon.com/roachkoachpodcast?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&amp;utm_source=copyLink&amp;utm_campaign=creatorshare_fan&amp;utm_content=join_link">Roach Koach Patreon</a>!
