Christmas Movies, Why Mushrooms Suck & Childhood Stories | Comic - Joe Botelho | UncutJams #50

Christmas Day special with my guy Joe Botelho and we're drinking rum and eggnog like adults.

Joe came through for the Christmas episode and we got into everything: why he refuses to ever do mushrooms (and went on a 10-minute rant about drug users trying to convert people), his theory that A Bug's Life vs Antz was a spite movie, why his 21-year-old virgin son doesn't drink, and the time he smashed his dad's garage radio with a sledgehammer as a kid.

We also debated which Christmas movies are elite, why Santa doesn't need to be about Jesus, whether Joe needs to "find himself" (he doesn't), and why destroying things as a kid just hits different. Plus Joe's plan to be a mall Santa despite not even liking Christmas that much.

This one's unhinged in the best way. Merry Christmas, degenerates.
