The pre-Christmas Extreme Anime Radio features JR revealing details about his Vegas excursion earlier in the month. Topics with NefCanuck include the "rigged" Game Awards (according to some), discussions about Cyberpunk 2077 and the perceived "rush" to put out video game titles, and NHL hockey in the COVID era. JR reveals some little-known secrets about the classic Christmas program "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer", caves in on a new iPhone, and talks about KFC's newest marketing ploy. Nef wraps the show with some news about Anime North before ending Christmas in traditional XAR fashion - with a nod to Bob Rivers.
