Feature: Exploring What is Resiliency with Dr. Robyne Hanley Dafoe 

When a family cookie night produces something called “the bloody cookie,” you know the holiday spirit is alive — and slightly unhinged. Bob Addison brings the stories, and Shane brings the disbelief.

From wearing absurd hats in public to surviving a retirement home concert that barely touched Christmas, this episode captures the awkward joy of seasonal traditions that somehow still matter. Hear how an annual cookie ritual survived into adulthood, why Bob hates wrapping gifts with all his heart, and what it means when your kid insists on keeping the weirdest tradition alive.

A chaotic, cozy, and laugh-out-loud Christmas special.

The Year the Gingerbread Got Violent

Yes, a real Christmas tree. Yes, it played music. Kris Abel returns with a mix of awe-inspiring tech and holiday absurdity that’s as delightful as it is surprising.

The episode opens with a bizarre glitch: San Francisco’s Waymo taxis shutting down in a power outage, cluttering the city like ghost cars. Then, the tone shifts — to bio-signals from a tree triggering digital renditions of Jingle Bells, and an AI guitar coach that can teach you “Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy” over the holidays.

Equal parts science, magic, and mischief, this one captures the spirit of what tech can — and definitely can’t — do.
