I didn't realize it at the time, but there are a lot of live tracks on the Mix this year. Anyway, this is not the version that ended up on the Mix (it was live though, but no video), but this version is pretty great too.

Ken Roy was a minor league umpire for two years before becoming a Catholic priest. He said that his umpiring career helped him in ministry because it gave him more patience with people and made him a better listener.
Masahiro Doi was a fifteen-time all-star in the Japanese Pacific League, playing from 1962-1981.
We would also like to wish a happy birthday to AMR’s son, HPR.
Torres – Hug from a Dinosaur
December 7, 2022: Paid Promotion
In my mind, the Tweeter is(/was?) the only good social, which is probably why it was supposedly losing $4m a day. Anyway, after a years long campaign of blocking every account that threw an ad at me (not uncommon I've gathered; probably part of the reason they were losing $4m/day), I'm getting bombarded with lots of weird foreign ads lately. Guessing they're digging hard for sponsors.
Cory Wong – Assassin
Another track that was pulled straight from the live performance. I mean, watch this. You'll see why.

I guess here's a question: Do you want to sign Correa for the time and money it will likely take?
