The Absurdity of Holidays

The hosts open up a discussion around the significance of various holidays, humorously downplaying Valentine's Day as a trivial celebration. Instead, they spotlight National Ferris Wheel Day, established to recognize the inventor George Washington Gale Ferris Jr. The conversation soon veers into personal anecdotes, particularly about a frightening childhood experience on a Ferris wheel, highlighting the strange combination of nostalgia and fear that such rides can evoke. This playful banter sets a lighthearted tone as they explore the idea that many holidays feel manufactured or trivial in the grand scheme of life.
