They reminisce about childhood Christmases, the timeless movies and music that make the season special, and the unique traditions that have shaped their celebrations over the years.
Jay, who has turned his personal struggles with anxiety, depression, OCD, childhood trauma, and family addiction into relatable and candid conversations, brings his signature blend of empathy and humor to the discussion. The two friends delve into the joys and stresses of gift-giving, the deliciousness of the Italian Christmas feast, and the magic of children's Christmas wishes. They even touch on how the pandemic has reshaped holiday traditions, adding a layer of reflection to their festive chat.
Adding a fun twist, Jay and Michael share a karaoke duet, sparking a lively debate on singing abilities at karaoke bars. They also explore the North Pole's wonders and Santa Claus's enduring charm.
