This week, it's the happiest time of the year!  It's the Christmas in December!  It's James' birthday!

That's right, this week the boys celebrate James' birthday on-air, as he talks about his day, opens presents and feels even less bad about dominating the discussion than usual.  The conversation goes from Happy Endings to Don't Trust the B---- to comics, as well as James' disappointment with The Hobbit.  Warning: extremely mild spoilers for a book you read when you were ten.  There's even a hint for next week's very loosely Christmas-themed-maybe episode!

This week marks a very special occasion: it's our fiftieth episode!  That's right: for almost an entire year, without fail, we've made a new one of these every week, which maybe marks the longest time we've ever gone without fucking something up due to laziness or boredom.  Believe it or not, that counts for personal growth with us.

To celebrate almost an entire year of this bullshit, the boys celebrate their comics podcast the best way they know how: by not talking about comics for a full 45 minutes.  Before that, they talk about the final iCarly episode ever, the latest Happy Endings episode and the surprising darkness in the message of the Smurfs' most recent Christmas special.  After that, they talk about some dumb kids with a Kickstarter that will get sued into oblivion and the brand new Man of Steel trailer.  Then, comics, I guess.  Whatever.

This week, the boys relax after some busy weeks with site-related events to just shoot the breeze and slander each other.  They talk about Happy Endings' surprisingly funny smallpox blanket joke, Breaking Dawn Part 2's graphic violence and fuckshack, and why the first issues of Matt Fraction's Fantastic Four books are so great.  Featuring audience participation!
