[@mariya_tortilla]

lmfaooo i was like okay this is my reality

[@PhilipWisner]

I love the thought of a person just listening to this episode for the first time and being utterly baffled by the lore of Totino.

[@liamcs48]

This is literally my first episode 🤣

[@offthekizzle]

[@stefanicraze1688]

Not the mid Santa-reveal realizing that this exact bit has been done before (which was so funny that I laughed so hard I had to pull over)

[@erinfr7042]

“Who’s the freak behind the Santa Clause??” 😂😂😂 I used to dress like Santa every year, but for pet photos. I told every dog and cat they were on the Good List, even the ones that tried to bite me 😅

[@nicoleCC26]

“She’ll probably wear a boot on Christmas. And I can only imagine myself in Jenny’s boots” 😂😂😂😂

[@paigeobrienn]

The stinky cheese man book just made me time travel

[@virginiablumenstein1222]

The banter bout santa installing bidets oh that was hilarious! (maybe it's his way to give back for the shame/fear he instilled?) I could see the bidet ad bit😂... planning out my holiday cookie boxes while listening, i appreciate yall

“where are we going?” is the realest question ive ever heard in the relation to talking to a friend in an never ending conversation

[@SEACRUZNY]
