Recorded amid a post-Thanksgiving hangover, this installment of Mom On Pop takes a look at two Christmas specials making their debut this week on the networks. Mom and I viewed ABC’s Toy Story That Time Forgot and NBC’s How Murray Saved Christmas, one of which earned a never-before-seen “double F” from Mom.

We also get Mom’s take on Black Friday, address more butt-related questions, and offer Jimmy Fallon an unsolicited pointer on his Tonight Show hosting technique.

Mom On Pop is available on iTunes, and there’s a podcast RSS feed if you want to subscribe to the show in other apps. Never miss an episode!
