We’ve got the tree lit, the Moose mug filled, and the jersey on—peak festive vibes achieved. And as a gift to you, our loyal audience, we’re delivering THE definitive Top 10 Christmas Movie Tier List for the season. Will your favorite make the cut? Stick around until the end to find out (spoiler: it's scientifically perfect).

But first—housekeeping, because that’s how we roll.

It's over, folks. After weeks of drama, intense debates, and a twist that would make M. Night Shyamalan blush, the backdrop situation has been resolved. The verdict? Jeff's fiancée pulled him back from the brink, and he’s now Team Backdrop. Los from 280+ Podcast swooped in with a killer zinger (comparing it to the Roku screensaver), and honestly, we can’t unsee it. Thanks, Los. Backdrop stays—it’s a holiday miracle.

We’ve heard you. The button sound effect has been a hot topic, sparking everything from mild annoyance to death threats involving my French Bulldog, LuBug (seriously, who hurt you?). After consulting friends, family, my therapist, and even Los, we’ve made a decision. Instead of removing it…we’re quadrupling it. That’s right—four buttons, four times the chaos. Hate it? Let me know in the comments, and maybe I’ll make it eight. Democracy, baby.

Breaking news: Haley Welch is awake after a two-week crypto coma caused by a rug pull on her meme coin. She’s back tweeting apologies and linking victims to Berwick Law (shoutout, not sponsored). Jake Paul vibes all over this, but hey, at least she’s alive.

Luigi Mancuso (or is it Maroni?) is being treated like Gotham’s #1 villain. NYPD rolled out SWAT-level security as they paraded him through New York, and Trump weighed in with his usual “this is terrible, but I know everything” energy. The man is now sharing a jail block with Diddy and Sam Bankman-Fried. What’s next? Luigi starring in a toothpaste ad? Stay tuned—your boy is headed to NYC to crack this case true-crime style.

The New Jersey drones saga continues. Trump says the government knows the truth, but I’ll let you decide if they’re just DJI drones or the opening act for WWIII. Either way, keep your eyes on the sky and your Nerf guns locked and loaded.
