It’s amazing how a show grows up. We started with wobbly mics and chaotic intros; now we’re three and a half years in, juggling season three plans, holiday chaos, and a creator workflow that actually works most days. The conversation opens with gratitude and candor—what lasting commitment feels like when the calendar fills with family visits, three different Christmas dinners, and a sleep schedule that doesn’t. We talk numbers without bragging and gear without gatekeeping, then admit the obvious: consistency is the hardest part.

The heart of the episode sits behind an espresso machine. A customer drops sexist remarks at 6:30 a.m., and we unpack why speaking up matters, how teams set boundaries, and what real allyship looks like in service work. Minutes later, a smoky haze: the refrigerated display case is literally cooking the sandwiches. Cue problem-solving under pressure, a call to the manager, and a lot of quick thinking. Then the season’s absurd punchline—syrup shortages, dark humor at the drive-thru, and a gut check to make sure people are actually okay. That’s the theme: laugh at the chaos, but see the human first.

We promise a music show and deliver: Wham’s Last Christmas nudges Mariah from the holiday throne, sparking a smart chat on charts, nostalgia, and what makes a song “seasonal canon.” We widen the lens with 2025 music moments, from high-profile space stunts to the Grand Ole Opry’s 100th birthday and industry reckonings that refuse to be PR-washed. No stan wars here—just a clear look at ownership, legacy, and accountability, and how those stories shape the way we listen.

For a warm reset, we pop into a 90s-themed coffee shop with a working tube TV and retro posters, because third places are where culture sticks. We wrap with the perennial debate: which films are “real” Christmas movies—Gremlins, Die Hard, claymation classics, Elf—and why personal rituals matter more than rules. If you’re into music culture, creator practice, and the strange comfort of holiday messiness, this one’s a cozy ride with sharp edges.

And unfortunately, I'm on allthree of them.

SPEAKER_03 (02:18):
I'm only on one sometimes.

SPEAKER_05 (02:21):
Um, so I just checked the math.
178 weeks is three and a halfyears.
We've been at this for three anda half years, buddy.

SPEAKER_03 (02:29):
Happy anniversary.

SPEAKER_05 (02:31):

SPEAKER_03 (02:36):
Um, I will say, this podcast has lasted longer than
any of my high schoolboyfriends.

SPEAKER_05 (02:43):
This podcast lasted longer than my music career.

SPEAKER_03 (02:46):
Oh yikes.

SPEAKER_05 (02:49):
Yeah, that's alright though.
Um this is, I mean, I will say,like, as far as like it, people
who know me know that I have anissue, not an issue committing.
That's not the right word.
I don't have an issue withcommitment.
It's an issue with keeping up onsaid commitment.

(03:13):
Yeah, like like doing it, sayingit is not an issue for me.
It's the action of yeah, doingit every single week.
Um, so this is the longestrunning thing that I've done,
and I I feel like the hard workis starting to pay off a little
bit.

SPEAKER_03 (03:31):
