It's here again! Our annual ad-free holiday spectacular. So pour up a hot toddy, throw a log on the fire and listen with the whole family!

AI Summary

Josh and Chuck sleigh into a festive Christmas Eve episode packed with holiday trivia and surprising stories. They explore everything from the dangerous history of lead tinsel and how Charles Dickens literally saved Christmas from obscurity, to the economics behind "The Twelve Days of Christmas" gifts and the backstory of that iconic leg lamp from "A Christmas Story." The hosts also reassure listeners that Dr. Fauci has confirmed Santa is immune to COVID-19, so Christmas deliveries are safe to proceed as planned.
