Go Home Santa, You're Drunk
Justin's new book of short stories called "Go Home Santa, You're Drunk". He got everyone to buy the book on Amazon a few hours before the recording of this episode. During the show the book got up to #6 in Kindle Store > Kindle eBooks > Humor & Entertainment > Humor > Satire, #9 in Books > Literature & Fiction > Genre Fiction > Satire and #37 in Kindle Store > Kindle eBooks > Literature & Fiction > Genre Fiction > Holidays.
The NSA Knows What You Fap To!
Back in June when the Snowden leaks first started coming out, Justin and Brian suggested that the NSA could blackmail people with the type of porn that they watch. Well, turns out the NSA was doing EXACTLY THAT.
Justin then proposes that he and Brian be hired as NSA "cops" to take down terrorists. They would then thrown them into a room ("The Litter Box") in which Tom Cattt's songs are playing at which point the evil-doers would go insane and think that they were Tom Cattt's lovely dancers Kitay and Meeow. Also the NSA would hire Alex Jones and Tay Allyn.

The Golden Age of Journalism
There's this fly ass honey named Dorris Kearns Goodwin. Boo writes some hella dope books, including The Bully Pulpit: Theodor Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, and the Golden Age of Journalism. Taft and Roosevelt used to be homies. The guys started to think of some modern-day hip-hop analogs of historical figures.
- Tomas Edison = Sean "Puff Daddy" "P Diddy" "Diddy" Combs
- Tesla = Bushwick Bill
- James K Polk = Lil' Wayne
- Thomas Payne = House of Pain
