| 0:00.0 | Hello Cinephiles we are reintroducing our favorite holiday episodes of the past and this one |
| 0:07.0 | listen this is the funniest holiday episode one of the funniest episodes of the cinnophiles of all time and that is all due to our very |
| 0:16.8 | special guest Michael Ross. |
| 0:18.6 | Yeah, and I mean the episode is basically being on a runaway sled on a side of a mountain with Michael Ross giggling and whipping the reindeer over and over again with the rains and giggling maniacally as Steve and I hold each other out of fear, not knowing what's going to happen. |
| 0:39.0 | And of course he mentions the disease. Never mind. I'm not going to say that. Well, anyway, this is a great episode of the |
| 0:46.8 | cinephiles and one that the... We talked about in the documentary. We had no idea it was going to turn out |

| 1:47.0 | Let me tell you things are not going to go well, but in the end, it's a pretty good time. Nobody's walking out on this fun old-fashioned family Christmas. |
| 1:55.0 | No, no, we're all in this together. |
| 1:58.0 | This is a full-blown four alarm holiday emergency here. |
| 2:01.0 | We're going to press on and we're going to have the |
| 2:03.5 | hap-happ happiest Christmas since Bing Crosby tap dance with Danny fucking K. Hello and welcome once again to the cinnophiles where we have survived stomach |
