Holiday Classics, X-Rated Robots, and a Fond Farewell to Meathead and Buck

Jeff and Chris stumble out of the holiday fog and immediately start arguing about the real meaning of Christmas (spoiler: it’s not peace on Earth, it’s commercials, trauma, and whether mall Santas used to look like they were assembled in a JC Penney stockroom).

From there, the episode ricochets through a sacred trio of seasonal touchstones: the “I can’t believe you’ve never seen that” movie confession, the annual rewatch that somehow still hits like a brick, and the childhood memory that proves the 80s/90s were basically a prank we all agreed not to report.

Somewhere along the way, Jeff upgrades his “I’m in a spaceship” delusion with a truly irresponsible piece of nerd décor, and the guys take a respectful-but-unhinged detour into sci-fi nostalgia… including one observation that, once you hear it, you cannot un-hear it. (You’ve been warned.)

Then the vibe shifts into a year-end wrap: a few “we lost legends” moments, a little love letter to creators who basically raised your brain, and a rapid-fire set of recommendations that proves two dudes “pushing 60” can still hand you cooler watch/listen picks than most algorithmic homepages.

They close by teasing a 2026 debate that will absolutely end friendships, marriages, and possibly several galactic treaties.

You know. The usual wholesome Nice Pull! stuff.
