Shownotes

In this hilariously festive episode, NYC comedian Charles McBee is back on the show to declare that the Labubu may in fact be Furby’s weird grandchild, kicking off a deep dive into millennial nostalgia. We also talked about Tesla’s holiday software shenanigans, where Santa Mode transforms your ride into a virtual sleigh, and a synchronized "Jingle Rush" light show is irrefutable proof that civilization has jumped the shark, contrasting today’s effortless digital upgrades with the old-school pride of painstakingly customizing a Honda Civic with underglow and tears. From cars drowning in Christmas lights to BMW’s Advent-calendar tease for a new model reveal on Christimas Eve (sorry, it’ll never outshine Lexus’s iconic giant-bow “December to Remember” flex), the holiday hype gets gloriously skewered, including Advent calendars morphing from humble candies into absurd luxury status symbols. Press play for a fun episode to wrap up 2025!
