22 years later, we look back at the tragedy of the DC101 Christmas Massacre, which resulted in the dismissal of Marc Chambers, Tod Perry and John Salwin.

Tod, Marc and Salwin go over their predictions for the new year, as well as some predictions laid out by the reputable prognosticators at CatholicPlanet.com. Plus: Tod's quasi-fictional New Year's Eve 2010 Party.

The hosts discuss a chance encounter with a woman at a sandwich shop before transitioning into 'The News Monster' segment. They riff on stories involving a Segway-riding photographer, a woman's body hidden for eight months, a lottery winner who vanished, and a murder mystery train fatality.

In episode #200, Marc, Tod, and Mike discuss their holiday plans, childhood toy regrets, and the sensory experience of Tommy Bahama stores. The conversation devolves into a detailed fantasy about Marc's ideal Christmas gift and a debate over consumer audio equipment.

The hosts struggle to record in a freezing, uninsulated barn in Koreatown. The episode consists of a brief attempt to discuss a news story about a man on trial for sexual exploitation, which is repeatedly interrupted by John Salwin's refusal to unzip his jacket.

The hosts discuss the logistics of a business lunch with their sponsor, Hite Beer, and the growing food truck culture on Wilshire Boulevard. This leads to a long riff on the nature of Tod's relationship with Marc and a surreal brainstorming session about hypothetical service trucks.

The hosts discuss the limited-time return of the McDonald's McRib in Southern California. They debate the nature of the McRib sauce, the psychology of its cult following, and whether the sandwich actually lives up to the hype.
