So which Santa tracker is the most accurate?

Flight Rader, Norad and Google are all giving different times and locations for his sleigh.

Have you ever had a lamp and a rat, but not sure which one to light?

Maybe it's just me but I'm very disappointed with the amount of AI generated images I'm seeing on sale this Christmas.

I think it's the perfect time of the year to remind you that "Wonderful Christmastime" by Paul McCartney is an objectively terrible song.

A silly pet peeve of mine is when people online claim a film/tv series is "full of plot holes" and then doesn't actually list any as proof.

Cite your evidence people!

Ah yes, I remember the beforetimes. How good they were.

In this new episode we finally ask the important questions:

"If you looked at Cthulhu would you go insane, or would you be fine?"

Listen wherever you find your podcasts and drop your answers in the comments.

So Disney released the first teaser for the live action Moana film. The overwhelming response online appears to be, "Why does this need to exist?"

Any guesses as to which book we were talking about?

You ever have one of those days?....you know the ones.

I hate how easy it is to accidentally eat a whole block of chocolate.

I just heard an insult that is a little odd, but strangely devastating...

"You look like somebody that would iron their socks"

Let us know if you also skipped all those parts while reading Lord of the Rings. This is a judgement free zone.

Self-care is self-care no matter what form it takes.

Want to go dig a hole? Grab a shovel. Want to run naked through woods screaming at the top of your lungs? What time should I meet you?

I'm reading a book called: Win Every Argument: The Art of Debating, Persuading, and Public Speaking by Mehdi Hasan

My question is...what happens if two people that have both read it start a debate?

Apparently it's the Melbourne Cup today. Maybe it's just me but is there a distinct lack of caring about it this year?

We had a little bit of hail last night. Luckily no damage.

Unfortunately there will be no new episode this week. I could go into great detail as to why, but who has time for that? Not me.

Instead here's a joke:

"Three guys walk into a bar...you'd think one of them would've seen it."

Dad: 12x12?

Me: 24.

Dad: NOOOO!

Movies lie, books exaggerate, and we’re okay with it... sometimes.
