Merry Christmas, Everybody! Today is our annual On the Mic Christmas Episode!

The Grove Christmas Lights in Los Angeles

Since moving to Los Angeles our Christmas Episode has changed a little, but it's still a bunch of holiday cheer and nonsensical ramblings. While Austin heads back to Utah for Christmas, Tim will be enjoying a lovely sunny Los Angeles Christmas.

On the episode, we talked about our Christmas plans, new movies out for Christmas, our annual Christmas treat, gift exchange, giving back not just during the holidays, but all year, and so much more. Of course the Christmas Episode wouldn't be complete without Christopher James calling in with his terrible Christmas Horror Movie recommendation. This year's pick was "Santa Claws", with the honorable mention going to the short film, "Treevenge".  See the trailers below! 

We hope that you are having a wonderful Christmas and Holiday Season with your family and loved ones. Thank you for your support this year. Stay tuned for our New Years Episode next week!

Merry Christmas! 

Enjoy the episode.

Jeff Sessions Finally Freed From The Trump Administration After Accidentally Being Given A Sock.

Jeff Sessions clings to his socks moments after being set free

Washington D.C.  – Jeff Sessions has finally been freed from the Trump Administration after accidentally being given a sock. For the last two years, diligent house-elf Jefferson Beauregard Sessions served the Trump house with great loyalty. Despite harsh criticism from Master Trump, and surviving many vicious Twitter lashings, Jefferson stood by his angry master. Trump often demand that Jefferson punish himself any time he did something disagreeable to him. "Jefferson is used to death threats, sir. Jefferson gets them five times a day at home." stated Sessions. The threats came to an end today though when Trump accidentally gave Sessions a sock attached to his termination papers. With tears in his eye, Jefferson exclaimed, "Master has presented Jefferson with clothes! Jefferson is free!"
