James Hondler myself, I'm worried. Jim, you know what other things I love about the Christmas

0:18.6

series is sitting down and watching a traditional Christmas movie like Zulu and that.

0:26.1

Because... Exactly. And the reason why, because I'm busting to talk about this and obviously

0:38.2

I'm using Christmas as the excuse because I was in Rock's Drift last week.

0:42.8
