"I've had this song in my head since seeing cats. I've had that in my head embedded, and if I wake up one more day, and I've already told Natalie, she knows she's going to time any of the bed. Whichever it is for, but she's going to time any of the bed." — Henry (illustrates the lingering impact of the "Cats" film)
"So he died in a mysterious snorkeling accident. We don't know why. I do believe it's one helmet. What are the big pizza families that we're looking at? We got Domino's. We got the hot family, the hot family. We got, they're like Japanese now. I think it might be, I think it's a Japanese company. I don't know. I don't know. Little Caesar. I mean, he's always got his own little corner market going on. And then let's not forget about Godfather's pizza.

"So he's on a full right now Papa John is on a full heel turn. Well, if no, not true. If you go on his Instagram, do you follow him on Instagram? I do follow him on Instagram. He didn't call the real Papa John Schnatter. I think so. Something like that. You can find it. Yes. And I've been following him. No, he hasn't been making any waves of an Instagram. No, he met with Darth Vader. Darth Vader. He had, he had his post where he's just him hanging out with Darth Vader." — Donald (highlights Papa John's public persona shift and the hosts' interpretation of it)
The episode begins with a brief, humorous mention of sponsors before diving into personal holiday experiences. The hosts then pivot to discuss the news of the Domino's UK CFO's death, framing it within a speculative narrative connected to Papa John's and his previously stated "day of reckoning." This leads to a wide-ranging, often absurd, discussion about the pizza industry, corporate rivalries, and various conspiracy-adjacent theories.
A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to an in-depth review of the film "Cats." The hosts express a mixture of fascination and bewilderment, analyzing the movie's themes, performances, and its overall impact, often with dark humor and strong opinions. They debate the meaning of "Jellicle" and the film's perceived sexual undertones and its cult-like aspects.
The conversation concludes with reflections on the past year and hopes for the new year, touching upon personal growth, anxieties, and future pop culture events like Robert Pattinson's portrayal of Batman. The hosts also promote upcoming tour dates for their associated podcasts and live shows.
