This week, Matt gets an ending he hates until he sprinkles on the sarcasm, Chris takes it straight to THE man, and a new podcast feature has been permanently unlocked!

Also, Matt challenges Chris to a round of the Character from this Book or One of NASCAR’s Top 50 Race Car Drivers Quiz, Chris reveals a Wild Card that adds a new twist to the podcast in the form of Power Ups (thanks, Glitchparticle!), and WEE-OO WEE-OO CRIME CAR.

Let’s talk Power Ups! When we finish a book, the winner currently receives a Get-Out-of-Sad-Pizza-Party-Free card as a reward. Thanks to a killer new Wild Card, there will now be 4 more possible Power Ups! The winner will randomly generate a number 1-5, and that will determine the power up for the next episode.

Below are the options we came up with in the episode. Feel free to jump in the discord and throw out some more ideas!

It’s that very special time of year when Xmas has passed and the New Year has not yet arrived! Why not spend it with friends? Dani and Bill are back! But we’re not heading Down Under. In fact, we don’t even get to read the book we were planning to read. Instead, we get to read one of the best books ever! It’s a Grundle Days miracle!

It’s always a dang joy to have Dani and Bill join for some fun. Make sure to listen to all of their amazing stuff (although we know that you already are) at Solve This Murder and Escape This Podcast or just hit up ConsumeThisMedia.com to get it all at once!

This week, Chris’ fears come to life before his very eyes, Matt makes an impression on some dangerous dudes, somebody’s ending makes them a little sick to their stomach, and Krampus drops in to celebrate his most special day!

Also, Chris challenges Matt to a User-generated round of Interactive Fiction or Ska-Punk Song Title (thanks, THEKyleThomas!), Krampus takes the fellas on a trip to Self Care Corner, the guys commit themselves mind and body to some Krampus Day Resignations, and to Dr. Wyatt—we will never forget you!

On Krampus Days, these Krampus Days
We celebrate Your glory
Lord Krampus Beast, great Krampus Beast,
We hail your gory story
Your sulphur stench withers our youth,
Your seven tongues can taste our truth
Your visage at my windowsill;
I close my eyes yet see you still
On Krampus Days, these Krampus Days
We worship Your true Power
On Krampus Days we offer You
Our sanity to devour
Your poison crown of dripping horns
Will rid us of our human forms
Oh Krampus Thing, Great Krampus Thing
You are the One True Winter King
