I think I’m going to change my name to Chris “And More!” Haley, as I think I am literally the only person on the show who’s name is not on that awesome poster.
Due to time constraints, Rusty had to make the poster before we had the last two guests confirmed (sorry Jeff Parker!). So we apologize, but it just goes to show, early bird does indeed get the Rusty Smith penned worm.
Euge, in case you were unaware your Captain Power toy has a current comic connection. You see Captain Power was a game tied to a television series and the video you had was one episode of that series. The head writer for that series? J. Michael Straczynski.
And you guys had me cracking up for the whole show. Easily the best holiday special I’ve encountered this year.
It’s also the only holiday special I’ve encountered this year but that still makes you number one in my book.

Possibly the longest podcast I’ve ever listened too…which quantifies the amount of holiday awesome delivered in a single audio package.
Thanks for bringing some Christmas spirit to my interminable afternoon at work. And a huge thanks for introducing me to Knackles. He sounds like a dude that handles child discipline the right way.
This is great guys! So much fun. I’m going to watch “Santa Clause” and wait for some snow to make ice cream from. I may call in sick to work tomorrow due to tinsel lung…
Happy Holidays.
I wasn’t sure what to expect from this, but I really enjoyed it. As the fellow above me says, it was fun.
But I’ve really gotta know how you talked people into actually singing on the show. because there’s no way on God’s green Earth I would ever sing anything on anything that was going to be recorded and saved for posterity. Special kudos go out to them, especially since most of them had pretty decent voices.
That was the best comics podcast Christmas Party-themed episode I have ever heard, bar none.
About halfway through I was thinking, “Man, the only way this could possibly be any better is if Norman Osborn were to crash their Christmas Party.” And then a Christmas Miracle happened.
Seriosuly dudes, War Rocket Ajax has been a treat every week for the last several months, and this is a fantastic way to end the year.
Big ups to Chris, Euge, Rusty and everyone who’s been on the show for making such a thoroughly wonderful podcast.
So awesome, guys. It’s everything I imagined it would be, and more. After I listened to the show, I bought my brother ego trip’s Big Book Of Racism, and my other brother KRS One’s Hip-Hop Bible. I thank you, and they also thank you.

Having heard interviews with Matt Fraction talking about Dean Martin, I suspect he’s been waiting his entire life to be a guest on a Rat Pack Christmas special.
Great show, I don’t know what’s funnier, Something Stupid, or Matt and Rusty swapping ever more bleak Christmas stories, or Jess Nevins’ sinister folklore, or… well, there was a lot in there. Great job.

It’s even better than I imagined.
Smithy and Rusty as Bowie and Crosby my new Christmas tradition.
*Is* my new Christmas tradition. It’s really hard to type with only half an arm left.
The bear and I are very much in love now, though.

It’s not just you, Chris Haley! Evie, Aaron, and Chris Piers–er, Norman Osborn didn’t make it on their either. But we love you just the same.
Tinsel lung…the silent killer.
I have a new favorite Christmas memory! An audio Christmas miracle!!
Order link to KRS-1 bible, please.
Wait, got it:

I was just playin’ you guys, we are all still total bros.
Also, I want a tshirt that says “That tinsel’s a real motherfucker, boys.”
Nothing is funnier than calling piano keys “buttons.”
Nothing.
A very happy warrocket Xmas/holidays to you all~

Bravo to Jess Nevins for reminding me about the Paul Lynde special. “Just what I wanted, 4 kisses for christmas!”
Great special everyone! (even the “and mores”!)

Goddamn, that was an entertaining two hours. Really, kudos to the War Rocket Ajax crew, and all their special guests.
Holy crap Remenders elevator story is one of the funniest damn things I’ve ever heard.
My review of the XMas special in four words: Well, that was fun!
Seriously, awesome show everybody! I was hoping some day we’d hear more about KRS-One’s hip hop bible, so my Christmas dreams have come true!

By ‘Something Stupid’ I meant ‘Baby, It’s Cold Outside’, obv.
Lyrics to the Wolvie and Jean “Baby It’s Cold Outside” please.
