It's our last regular show of 2022, so we're casting our minds back to ponder the all-too-important but rather hazy question, 'what the hell happened this year?'

Plus, the problem with the questions we’re being told not to ask our friends and family this Christmas.

And, our best and worst of the week which include the infuriating term thrown at Mia, some tragically stubborn statistics, and the most wonderful birthday presents.

The End Bits:

RECOMMENDATIONS:Holly wants you to watch Wednesday on Netflix.
