There’s impressions, there’s singing, there’s tons of nostalgia as we reminisce about watching this every Christmas in our living room! “Marley & Marley? Check! Creepy Ghost of Christmas Past muppet? Got it! Good times to the max? For sure! So lay a big ol’ blanket on the floor, get your popcorn and hot chocolate ready, and dig into this muppety episode!

What’s up, dudes?  Robbie Sherman from Conversations with Robbie Sherman and Sherman Sux at Sonic is here with me to talk about the Sega Genesis game Sonic the Hedgehog! We also venture beyond the confines of this show to dive into its cartoon “Sonic Christmas Blast!” We really get into it! From the graphics to the speed, we geek out over the gameplay and design and then contrast it with the cartoon design! Oh, and if you’re wondering if Sonic taps into the Speed Force…he does! He also turns Super Saiyan! So rent a Santa suit 5 sizes too small, grab your power rings, and speed into this episode!!

What’s up, dudes? Here’s  something a little different! I’ve got Little #1 here (with Littles #2-3 doing some sound effects) to give a quick outline of a short Christmas story we wrote back when she was a 4yro. She barely remembers writing it even though most of it was her idea. I just tightened up the story a bit and threw in a few ‘80s bits. Anyway, hope you enjoy this quick minisode!

What’s up, dudes? While I’m preparing for the Raddies–there are a lot of limos to rent, flights to book, seating to arrange, etc.–I decided to release a couple of minisodes!
