Episode 78 is a full-blown holiday fever dream.

Carl, Zac and Hayden riff on the year that was, revisiting the wildly diverse lineup of 2025 News Man Weekly guests, before Carl unleashes a series of Top 5 lists no one asked for but everyone needs -- the worst Christmas songs, the worst Christmas movies and the most soul-crushing holiday commercials ever inflicted on the American public.

Friend of the show Steve Russell joins us to discuss British vs American Christmas traditions, plus his favorite (and least favorite) Christmas movies, songs and books. Then it's a rotating cast of Source Media staff who drop in for some loose, festive, barely controlled holiday chatter.

Thank you to all of our listeners for tuning in this year. It's our last episode of 2025, but we'll be back and better than ever next year. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and Happy Hanukkah to all!

This episode is supported and powered by Relax, It's Just Coffee.

Intro theme music is local artist Emily Raff's cover of Donny Hathaway's holiday classic, This Christmas.
