Ever wonder what happens when a bartender offers you tequila after nearly five years of sobriety? Jeff and Sam are back with "Chit Chat Bitches," serving up their unfiltered holiday recap that's equal parts heartwarming and chaotic.

From restaurant drama to stadium tears, this episode has it all. Jeff reflects on his reputation for being direct with staff (he's "softened in old age," apparently), while recounting a New Year's Eve shift that tested his patience. The weekend adventures escalated quickly—murder mystery games, a house party during treacherous driving conditions, and someone they dubbed "Fat Kid Rock" performing at Nashville's celebration.

But things got real at the Bills game. When the entire crowd emotionally sang "Iris" as Steve Tasker delivered his final farewell to the stadium, even watching clips later brought tears. The game itself? Let's just say projectile vomiting in the aisles and a justified boyfriend defending his girlfriend's dignity made for unforgettable moments.

Meanwhile, Sam powered through a New Year's anniversary dinner at Graylin despite running a fever. The bone marrow was divine, though $280 for their half of the bill (with wine and desserts) definitely felt like New Year's pricing. Cameron caught the flu immediately after, which led to an unexpected Canadian border crossing for wedding dress shopping.

Surprisingly, reflecting on personal growth during New Year's resolutions can reveal just how much you've changed (and how much you haven't). Sam admits she's become more compassionate over the past year but still catches herself being judgmental toward certain people, a relatable struggle for anyone trying to improve themselves.

The holiday season brought its share of mishaps. After specifically requesting only a Kindle for Christmas, Sam received cash instead, which technically covered the purchase but eliminated the joy of unwrapping that one item she wanted. How disappointing is it when people don't follow your extremely simple gift request? Meanwhile, her husband Cameron purchased himself a Masterclass subscription at 11:57 PM on Christmas Eve, accidentally ruining the exact surprise she had planned for him.

So here's a wild week: one host nearly dies from kidney stones while the other rediscovers that teaching online is actually better than in-person classes. Sam and Jeff start by hilariously "canceling" loyal listener Margaret O'Brien for the ultimate betrayal, mentioning a rival podcast in her Christmas card. (She's now officially "Maga Margaret Minaj.")

The conversation takes a dark turn when one host recounts waking up at 3 AM in excruciating pain, rushing to the emergency room where a PA literally punched his kidneys for diagnosis. The uric acid stone, caused by genetic factors and too much red meat and alcohol, led to uncontrollable vomiting and significant weight loss. After an awkward encounter with a nurse named Jezebel over fluorescent orange urine, he's now waiting to see a urologist while still carrying the stone around inside him.

Between medical trauma and Real Housewives drama, the hosts also discuss a Peruvian festival where people legally fight to settle grievances, their shrinking "mortal enemy list" since leaving UB, and why "girls' gays" support women's rights more than regular "gays." They watched Avatar: The Way of Water in uncomfortable IMAX seats, abandoned a terrible football thriller after an hour, and somehow ended up watching a Madea Christmas movie at midnight.
