179 - A Merry Christmas w/ No Polar Bears: Christmas Episode II

Dec 9, 2025
53 mins

Episode Description

Reflecting on Christmas, Tomelex derails Joey’s icebreaker question with an intense fear of being killed by an animal, sending the crew into a hilarious detour about bears — including the shocking truth that polar bears are known to actively hunt humans. Eventually, the conversation circles back to the Christmas spirit as podcast patron L.B. Danzler joins to share why he supports the show before facing a rapid-fire round of all things Christmas. The rest of the episode dives into interesting holiday facts — from the 15,000 annual ER visits caused by Christmas decorating, to the surprisingly gross origins of mistletoe, and the secret decks of cards sent to WWII POWs on Christmas to help them escape.

Hosts: Tomelex Copeland | Brianna Mcleod | Lynne Stroy | Joey Svendsen
