🍍 I’ve hidden a pineapple somewhere in this episode, and if you can find it… you get nothing. Sorry.
The Advent Calendar House is back for Christmas Podcast Day. This year, a bunch of your yuletide podcast pals are dropping episodes themed to “It’s a Wonderful Life,” and that gave me a premonition to take a closer look at a very merry episode of “Psych” from 2010.
Gerry Davila from Totally Rad Christmas joins this examination of our superego, taking the form of renowned actor Tony Cox as himself… kind of.
Find more “Wonderful” episodes in the Christmas Podcasts directory.
