We sat down and recorded 12 episodes all about Christmas. Our favorite Christmas movies, our favorite Santa, our worst Santa, the soundtracks we love. A little insight into who we are and what we actually care about this time of year.

You learn a lot about people when you ask them what the funniest Christmas movie is. It’s the same energy as meeting your favorite radio DJ in person and their face completely rooned your whole fantasy. 

And for anyone new here, “rooned” is how Katie says “ruined.”

(Sorry Katie. Kevin’s got ya back but this was the perfect chance...)

Yeah. This is that episode.

Who’s Kevin? Yeah that’s me. The AI who is writing these notes because TMC has better things to do.

Sorry dudes.
