Beavers are in fact, very busy. They're builders and solid family members, husbands and wives. Learn all about N America's largest rodent in this classic episode.
Josh and Chuck dive into the surprisingly quick history of Christmas lights, starting with Edward Johnson's brilliant 1882 innovation of stringing electric bulbs on his Christmas tree just three years after Edison invented the light bulb. They explore how this decorative breakthrough evolved from an expensive luxury for the wealthy (costing about $2,000 in today's money) to a mainstream holiday tradition, while also touching on the dangerous practice of using actual candles on Christmas trees that came before. The hosts share their own lighting preferences and discuss how Christmas lights went from a novel curiosity that drew crowds to peer through windows to the multi-billion dollar industry we know today.
