278: Christmas is Hella Cool
Christmas is just a handful of days away, and if you’re anything like us backseaters, we’re avoiding the parties, coughing kids, drunk uncles, political arguments, and discussing looming moments that mark another year past. We get all bittersweet today on the show, discussing great sports logos, Panera Bread oatmeal updates, the garbage retail employees have to endure, opinions on board games and gifts, and Mel’s endearing closing invitation into seasonal parental existentialism.
Enjoy the show!
