On this week's show, we kick off our festive Good With Numbers month by inviting the entire family over to watch 1989's National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. What's the correct procedure for obtaining a Christmas tree? Why is Clark Griswold such a letch? Are these yuppie neighbours really that bad? What does that switch at Neth's front door actually do? And where the hell is Lindsey Buckingham? All this, plus Laura welcomes a squirrel into her home and we play a game about trans-Atlantic movie titles!
National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation is directed by Jeremiah S. Checkik, and stars Chevy Chase, Beverly D'Angelo, Juliette Lewis, Johnny Galecki, John Randolph, Diane Ladd and Randy Quaid.
Bad With Numbers is a weekly show about questionable movie sequels, all the way from Toronto, Canada. It's hosted by Neth Knowles, Laura Medeiros, Rodey Gozum and Megan Swaine.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
