The crew is back for a holiday episode like no other! This week, we’re breaking down the neighborhood chaos of Friday After Next, but the real-life stories from the hosts might actually be crazier than the movie.

Inside this episode:

• Grizzly gives us a peek into the trucker life. While he loves the beauty of the open road and everything the country has to offer, he’s seen things you can't unsee—specifically, the "wildlife" consisting of naked people wandering the interstate.

• Panda gets into the criminal spirit with some shocking real-life "Panda Tales." He dives into stories of people who took the "Bad Santa" trope too far, dressing up as holiday figures to commit actual crimes.

• Koala keeps it a buck and sets the record straight regarding her identity, reminding everyone that she is definitely not a Black in California.

Grab your Brothers’s BBQ and settle in for a breakdown of Craig and Day-Day’s security guard adventures, some bizarre truth-is-stranger-than-fiction stories, and our classic movie 20 Questions.

We Reel Reels: Over the Hedge & Teamwork in the Wild 🐨🐼🐻

The Reels crew is back and ready to raid the suburbs! This week, we're diving into the 2006 animated classic, Over the Hedge (2006).

• Koala picks apart the film's animation and story, dissecting what makes this Dreamworks movie a memorable caper.

• Panda takes a deeper look at the theme of animal cooperation, explaining fascinating real-life examples of animals teaming up, including different symbiotic relationships like mutualism (where both benefit) and parasitism (where one benefits at the other's expense).

• Meanwhile, Grizzly steps away from the picket fences to share an intriguing look at a darker side of life with the anime "No Longer Allowed in This World."

Tune in for laughs, thoughtful film critique, and some unexpected lessons from the animal kingdom!
