Real Vision 2020: Distilled*

Yes. It’s that time of year. Where companies release the stats that show what a great year they had.

Of course we’re doing it too. Everyone is, aren’t they? But ours is… well, it’s better. Mainly because it’s your year, too. And also, we’re releasing what might be the greatest blooper of all time into the wild. Think we could all do with a laugh.

Let’s go. And bring on 2021. Cheers.

 

*Like The Distillery, but with a lot more bloopers.
