In this very special Christmas episode, the gang head down to and from an Ugly Christmas Sweater Party. Along the way they discuss politics, religion, and a bit about history for good measure. At the end they forget to wish the audience and each other a Merry Christmas. Suck it, Trump.

Corrections:

The source of information for Trump’s MacDonald’s diet is his former campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski. He wrote a book full of fun tidbits like that which I shan’t plug here because screw that guy.

Mohammad was correct in his belief that Thailand was never colonized. The French and British agreed to leave it as a neutral buffer zone between their other colonial holdings in the region. However, both factions did exert considerable influence over Siamese culture and politics.

We were going to do an episode on recent happenings in Canadian politics, but then the Mueller Probe went into overdrive with the indictment of Paul Manafort and other developments so looks like we’re talking Trump yet again. Unfortunately, we recorded this the day before Flynn’s guilty plea, but we discuss the high probability of it occurring. We also reference a Politico article at length which I’ll link below.
