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.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
