Summary
Greetings, Comrades – the time for the Migthy Potato awards has come! So, join us for this (very unscripted) first episode of the year, where we give out The Migthy Potato to the worst and funniest nonsense that we’ve seen last year – and, ehh…as usual for when I want to relax a bit, weird things happen in the world.
Also, I managed to accidentally slice my fingers open pretty badly during this stream so we had to cut this short.
Here’s a link to the stream, as I was told that making this as an audio post would be a bit better.

| 0:29.5 | so that, you know, the light won't be messing up everything as much, but I hope it's going to be |

| 1:19.5 | Celsius here right now in my room, but I really want to get to the ceremony. I'm going to finish |
| 1:24.8 | up this beer, but I also have this here little glass of, well, there is some tea in this whiskey, so it's going to be fine for extra heating abilities. |
