It's Wednesday.

I'm Dave Dufour here with Seth Part now in Mo DeKeele, so that means it's NERder.

She wrote, guys, before we get started, we're going to let you know next week over at the athletic.

We're going to be doing our best of 2023.

It's a compilation of the best stories, the best podcasts, maybe the best YouTube videos.

I'm not sure if they're going to make the cut this year or not.
