It’s Christmas time again, and this year Paul and Mike celebrate the festivities by sharing their own family Christmas traditions, Paul lets us in on the gossip from his families annual Christmas party and we all find out about what Mike has in store for Christmas. We also present our 2nd Annual Christmas song rendition, this year it’s the sorta Christmas-y song “Amazing Grace”.

We also have a chance to cover some news this week, such as the death of tyrannical North Korean Dictator Kim Jong Il, the GOP candidate who got told he was a f******g a**hole and we cover the funniest story we think we ever have, the Japanese World Champion of Masturbation.

Plus as an added bonus we find out a secret from behind the scenes of last week’s episode, that is just plain gross.

Merry Christmas!
