You being a movie critic, I have to ask you this to start this.

Top three Christmas movies, go. Holiday movies. We won't even say specifically Christmas. Just holiday in general movies. Holiday in general, let's get the good feels. Let's get the good vibes during the holidays. For a little snarkiness, I love Scrooge with Bill Murray. I'm not going to put him in order. You know who's obsessed with that is Denny Carter? Is he? Well, Denny is a very, very funny man. Yeah. So I would get it. Yeah. That's a very like, yeah, that's Denny's Christmas movie. I get that. I like Christmas vacation and I got into a little argument last night with Paul charging about it and he can, you know, kick rocks. I don't know.

Don't watch it in color. Watch it in black and white. Yeah, I'll just, I'll throw three classics out there for you. Don't you have a cat named after Kevin McAllister? I do. I do. And you didn't even name Home Alone there. I know. I should have named Home Alone. You put me on the spot. He didn't say, Joey. Yeah. That's the only on the spot question. I promise you. I promise. That's fine. No, I mean, like, I figured you would throw Home Alone out there after, after naming a pet after Kevin McAllis.
