    On our Christmas special, we’ve come to realize we aren’t very good at promotion. We plan our summer vacation to West Viriginia for a Bigfoot convention and we can’t seem to understand how we didn’t make People’s Most Intriguing List. The

    names we hear that made up the list, including Prince Huckamuckfuck, don’t impress us much. You’ll be the life of your Christmas party if you tune in to the second segment of this week’s show. You can answer the trivia question what A Christmas Story and Porky’s have in common! (14:42) The Fact(s) of the Week cover aging turtles and their prowess and we urge you to pet the bison at your own risk! (28:38) Will Tiny get a lump of coal in his stocking or get his fourth in a row with the Movie Game? (34:17) From there, the Prince of Pittsburgh wants you to know it’s not easy being a sports fan (39:48). This week’s Would You Rather, it’s Daphne vs. Roz from Frasier (48:56). We go deep with this week’s Samurai Chatter and wrap up with a quote from Stephen Wright (56:41).
