Good morning, Brudalee Show, I'm Neil Framon and I'm Toby Howell on today's special holiday podcast

Toby and I will recap summer 2023 by presenting the one story that we thought to find the past few months

We'll also go over some of our most embarrassing flubs because who would want to forget those?

Then we'll look ahead to the next half of the year to see what's on the horizon

Before finishing up with some predictions that we will 100% get correct and won't come back to bite us at all

It's Monday September 4th. Let's ride
