Your non-denominational celebration of choice came early (or late!) this year with the 4th annual Office Hours Holiday Special! And it was an overflowing three hours of FREE FOR ALL NO PAYWALL laughs and fun with comedian Kyle Mooney getting into it with Tim, Mrs. Claus & Lee the Elf (aka Katherine Ellis & Jay Weingarten) bringing holiday joy (22:20), musician Jonathan Rado doing an impromptu "Thunder Road" with Tim (27:23), and musician Jenny Lewis performing "Puppy and a Truck" (1:35:37) and hanging out to talk about the good old days on Mr. Belvedere (2:25:43). As if that wasn't enough, legendary recording engineer Steve Albini zoomed in to tell us about the Letters to Santa charity (1:59:17), Uncle Phil Braun leveled some incendiary accusations of plagiary (2:13:08), comedy legend George Wendt checked in on zoom with a joke (2:21:08), and Captain Carlin got personal with a touching gift to each of the Trinity members. Starts @ 1:38.
All Super Chat money today went to Letters to Santa, to help families in need during the holiday season. Support them directly at letterscharity.org.
The Holy Trinity will be back together again this Sunday 12/17 at 4pm PT (7pm ET) for a special cocktail hour Game Night for PATRONS ONLY! Mark your ical so you don't miss out on your last chance to hang with us until NEXT YEAR! Keep an eye out for an exclusive YouTube link and Zoom room link back here on the Patreon later that day.

The amount of ads is just insane guys :(
Minty Snipes
Not sure if the show’s premise was, as a viewer, I was supposed to feel uncomfortable with all the passive aggression, but if that was the goal, mission accomplished.
Steinbeck
😞 I wasn't thinking straight ok? I know now that it was all a joke. I'm a huge huge fan of both Tim and Kyle.
Henry Michael
How on earth are you a paying patreon member for the pod but still don't really have a grasp at all on the humor?
Adam Shea
Any links to the Mariah Carey and Jimmy Fallon video? This was amazing!
Matthew Mahler
So the bit is... make a bad episode?
Beeman
No he wasn’t at all, you obviously didn’t get the bit! They always do that together and it’s hilarious
Miguel
Kyle is such a good vibe and freaking hilarious, please have him on more!
westend_td
Imagine how Jay felt :(
Daniel Bourdet
T dawg and Moon Man back at it again, discussing the luminaries. Beautiful stuff. 3rd watch was the funniest. First watch was frankly very uncomfortable.
Miguel
OMG JENNY LEWIS!!!! TYTYTYTY
Johnnee
Great Bit Phil! Also, I love that the mascot that Karly made last week is heavily featured in many of the shots! We need to name the mascot! Also anyone who hasn't listened to Wednesday - Rat Saw God needs to get on it.
Logan S
feel like Tim and Kyle can't get out of the bit. It's great
Bob L.
Give it a rest, guy. It was all a joke.
Jim Schroeder
Jay is great. His stuff is not for everyone, but he usually finds a good groove on this show.
Jason J. Grenia
Can't speak for the other patrons but I LOVE IT WHEN TIM SINGS!! More always forever!!
Dan
Loved Doug's remote
Kyle
No he's just a good actor
Old James
Awesome to see RADO. The impromtu Bruce cover was incredible and his new record is an instant classic. Y'all need to get Jackie Cohen on the show next. Some musical recs for ya! ✌❤🎶
Shempin Jack Flash
Norm was on?? LOL. Can’t wait to watch this. Happy holidays y’all!
tabor
I was awake for almost two days when I watched this live and honestly thought Tim wasn't digging Kyle for tooo long.
Steinbeck
The way they treat Mark is different - they are silly with him, not cutting and genuinely insulting like they were to Kyle. He even said a few times he wasn't sure if it was a bit or not in certain situations. If it was a bit, it was taken too far, in my opinion. I wish there was a little more playfulness and Kyle was actually able to be himself.
Filip Boratyn
Jay's funny
Miranda Thiessen
They mentioned that it was a bit multiple times, idk how you didn't catch on to that. If you didn't like that, definitely don't watch the eps with Mark Proksch
John Galantini
Don’t know when the usage of Ain’t She Sweet happened, I was watching the show as it went out, didn’t hear it - anyone know when it happened?

William Glosup
Aww man, still down. No fault to the crew. Damn the man. Hope it gets posted soon. I need to laugh I need to have fun
Christian
Second this. Mariah Carey’s festiveness will haunt me.
scottr
Did Phil bodyslam his drywall?
Theodore Atwood
Shame YouTube, get yer priorities straight we need our office party!
Eli
That ain’t sweet
Tim Heidecker
sorry gang, we played like 10 seconds of Ain't She Sweet and got Nuked. hope to be back up soon! ugh
creg

Alex Cook
I was like 30 minutes til the end when it got shut down this is not festive
Oopie Doopie
Vid is down :(
Perry
YouTube is anti-Chrimbus
Dan
I was in the middle of watching and it kicked me off and says the video isn't available
the Dude
Trust me when I say he was in on every joke and his words at the end about having a good time were authentic.
Theodore Atwood
Where’s the video?!
Matt Garrett
Looks like YouTube pulled the video. Anyone know when it’ll be back?
Steinbeck
Ohh I didn't know this - if that's true, I would be very happy.
Christian
I think it’s a long inside joke and he’s in on it.
Christian
God damn, I love Kyle. What a treasure.
Steinbeck
I highly doubt we will ever see Kyle back on the show in any fashion. I agree he is hilarious, but the guys took it too far this time - I felt horribly for Kyle.
Steinbeck
Kyle was obviously very uncomfortable with how he was being treated, and I don't blame him one bit.
Tim Heidecker
Bit by Grinch was from our pal Dan Cupps! https://youtu.be/JSuDGW7MI08?si=gZ0mvKcGKFfr1g7v
Steinbeck
Am I the only one who thought they treated Kyle very very poorly - he legitimately said, "I feel like I am being bullied here".
Jeff Faulkner
Hmmmm
Beeman
Holy moly Kyle was great. All time episode 🙏🙌
Brian Rooney
There must be something done for the guests' headphones
Brian Kramer
The break video today was amazing. Is there any info about the Grinch/bite video? Hope I'm not late to the party but that's some fine work.
