Listen, the first five minutes of this one are…challenging. We’re not going to lie to you. But if you stick with it, you’re going to get an extremely merry, horrifyingly early episode celebrating elves of all kinds! And also, murder, a little, but only for a few minutes.

It’s episode ten, which means it’s time to celebrate! Don’t worry, though—we’ve got a fun, cool, designated driver to get you home safe. What’s her name? Don’t ask us. She’s got, like, ten of them. Don’t ask Tom, in particular.

Folks, we tried to make another Halloween creation, but November done came along and compelled us to make the hottest Thanksgiving movie of 2018. It’s kind of like The Santa Clause, but if Tim Allen was a turkey? Maybe you should just listen.

Celebrate pre-Halloween with an EXTRA SPOOKY episode. But also, maybe the real monster was man? I think we all learn something.

Not to spoil anything, but something pretty historic happens in this one. Unfortunately, Tom spends about five minutes eating sushi, so nobody will listen long enough to find out.
