ENCORE: Christmas Special Extravaganza!

It's our timeless classic holiday episode from 2024! 

Touch but our robes and be upheld in more than this as we revisit Thomas Ligotti's "The Frolic", a heartwarming tale of that's at least more bearable than Wham's 'Last Christmas'! Experience the magic of the season with philosophical pessimism and bodily functions! Plus, great beer! 

Paul's mic was making rather merry this time around, but Alec saved the day with his stellar editing. It was a Christmas miracle unmatched! Throw another stuffed Bambi on the fire and settle down for a night of Christmas magic!
