Episode 93 - Cy Book Suks

What's the best way to start the new year? Obviously not by looking back at the past one. The entire panel gets together to share the five best things that happened to them in 2011. But in true OMA fashion, that is harder than it seems. Between technical difficulties and lack of preparedness, the show didn't go off without a hitch; 10 or 12 of them to be honest. But we still manage to have fun and laugh.
