Episode description

Merry Christmas Eve (and what’s up to all the other holidays, we’re inclusive over here). This is our last episode together before we split up for the holidays, and run home to visit old flings from high school to judge for how they fell off (2:32). The team has come together to discuss their year end lists, mainly because they absolutely refuse to discuss all of the other awful lists that have hit the internet this month (21:01). The Today Show listed the top pop culture moments of 2024, and we run through them and remember just how weird this year was (39:44). SZA has dropped the deluxe to her SOS album, called Lana, and the guys give their initial review, as well as how they feel about SZA leaving her SOS era (1:05:01). Shameik Moore is under fire for a questionable post that included a co-worker, while Mal tries to figure out the point of deleting your social media (1:26:50). We have a voicemail! Someone needs advice on how to tame the sexual deviance of a sibling, which leads us to have our own risky conversation regarding the ingestion of bodily fluids (1:40:45). Pray for us over the holidays, please.
