This week, we cover a little bit of everything… and by everything, we mean retail chaos, generational habits, dating app desperation, and a very serious snack-related betrayal.

Jeff stumbles onto a confusing Walmart discovery. Rachael is searching for a way to become immune to annoying kid noises, without the long-term exposure of actually having kids. If anyone has cracked this code, please reach out.

We also unpack why podcast hosts of a certain age still call moments “good radio.” A line is officially crossed when Rachael realizes Bugles no longer fit on fingers like they used to. Justice for finger hats. Gen Z is now letting parents choose their dating app matches, and since Rachael is still single… we’re not ruling it out.

We weigh in on the candied cranberry trend (curious, but not motivated), then wrap things up with a lightning round of Christmas questions — real vs. fake trees, lights, eggnog opinions, first Christmas song of the season, and what we’re most looking forward to next year.

Plus, a sincere thank you to our listeners for making this show what it is.

Christmas is just days away, and Rachael is just now realizing it. Meanwhile, Burger King and McDonald’s are out here dropping promo meals for SpongeBob and The Grinch… which raises the important question: what would it take for us to buy a promotional meal? Free toy? Nostalgia?Then we recap the games we played over Thanksgiving - Flip 7 and Telestrations absolutely stole the show. Highly recommend.Spotify Wrapped 2025 is here, which is basically Rachael's Super Bowl. Music + stats = her Roman Empire. According to Spotify, her “music age” is 26, which is flattering… and also concerning.We wrap things up by getting (accidentally) wise: the two biggest lessons we’re taking into the new year, plus the tiny perspective shifts that have actually made a difference.

Britney Spears and the Kardashians hosted a pajama party, which made Jeff wonder: do grown adults actually do PJ parties in real life, or is this strictly for the Gram?

We share our extremely boring grown-up Christmas lists (a tire gauge and a bug zapper… please clap), then let ChatGPT pick our celebrity twins. Jeff being Chris Pratt tracks a little too well.

Do people still send Christmas cards? Rachael says yes, but mostly moms who want to show off the family. Then Jeff puts Rachael through a Thanksgiving trivia quiz, and let’s just say… she’s not winning any holiday-themed game shows.

We wrap things up by sharing the best things we discovered this year and the moments that made us laugh way too hard... turns out they both involve farts.
