Barker is drinking Newblood Alcohol Free Red Wine Blend to preview Dry January for you, which somehow reminds us of the song Long December by The Counting Crows.

Ashley is an addict for "fairy porn" even though there are no fairies, just dragons, in Fourth Wing and Iron Flame by Rebecca Yaros. She also recommends Indigenous Continent by Pekka Hämäläinen.

Barker let his imagination get away from him, connecting The New York Times on Sunday Night Football to the live owl in Blade Runner. Or something like that.

It's Krampusnacht! And if you want to know more about that, watch Rick Steves’ Christmas Special and the movie Rare Exports.
