Christmas time is here. So that means we are indulging in a guilty pleasure, Hallmark Channel Christmas movies.

Michael ends the show with a story about the time he met Stan Lee and Chuck Norris. Editor’s Note: Due to illness and scheduling conflicts, we couldn’t get in to the studio for this episode and had to film in our offices using a multitude of constantly failing recording devices. Hence there are a few technical difficulties and rough cuts. Thanks for watching.
