It was one of the most deflating and egregious breaches of trust during our childhood. No, not finding out you were adopted, finding out Santa isn't real.

Diego Attanasio, a very funny nationally touring comic from Detroit, joins the podcast to talk about how receiving bad news on this magnitude can be turned into comedy. We also ponder the double standard of teaching your kids not to lie while lying directly to their faces about a man in a red suit who brings them gifts.

We break down bits by Diego and Daniel Sloss and discuss the religious implications of the Santa ruse, the packaging of controversial topics, maintaining confidence when a joke doesn't work, the importance of having fun onstage, and more.
