It's Christmastime and the Zag Boys, freshly reunited after Jesse's podternity leave, meet in person for the very first time, along with some special guests, to freebase holiday cheer. After an eggnog-fuelled AI Or Cool Guy, we play "...Of All Time" and talk about our favorite—and least favorite—Christmas movies and songs. Then we bask in the glow of our favorite holiday memories, almost all of which involve video game consoles. All the while, Jesse shares a Bagman's bounty of thoughtful gifts. All of this, and much more, on an action-packed holiday special for the ages!
