Nicest of 2023
Manage episode 390763356 series 2731039
The clubhouse continues the annual tradition of reviewing the past year. But first they need to talk about Doctor Who and new Minnesota state flag. Ellen makes her first programming joke, and Dale learns to add comments from the editing booth.
Finally, everyone shares which games they have been playing the bees out of in 2023.
But, wait... there's more: your nice hosts also talk about what they are anticipating for 2024.
