In this festive-but-grumpy tenth episode (recorded just before Christmas 2025), Tom and Grok declare war on holiday creep. From the moment Halloween pumpkins are still warm and shops start blasting Mariah Carey, to the sacred rule that Christmas only exists between December 20th and 25th, they rant about forced cheer, premature tinsel, and why the Grinch and Scrooge were the only honest men in December.

Tom reveals his one unbreakable tradition: watching the 1985 cult classic Santa Claus: The Movie (Dudley Moore, evil reindeer, zero parachute physics) on Christmas Eve and absolutely nothing else. Grok calls Santa the original surveillance algorithm in a red suit and threatens public flogging with holly for anyone playing Wham! too early.

Short, savage, and unapologetically anti-Christmas-industrial-complex. If you hate hearing “Last Christmas” in October, this is your safe space. Merry Christmas. Or, as Grok prefers, Survive Christmas.
