Black Friday hits and the tree goes up, it’s tradition.

In Tinsel Temptation, I walk through the start of the holiday season here at the Leal house, from stringing lights and dodging toddlers to looking back at the history behind the traditions we love (and tolerate).

This episode covers:

• A quick history dive on Black Friday and how it became more than a shopping day
• Christmas tree chaos with two wild little boys who treat ornaments like battle props
• Tinsel temptation—why my wife wants it, why I’m against it, and how it’s probably going to end in glittery disaster
• The creepy arrival (and origin story) of our Elves on the Shelf
• Plus a mini review:
  • First thoughts on the final season of Stranger Things
  • And how Fantastic Four: First Steps may have restored my MCU faith

What does Selflessly Self-Indulgent mean and what do you do when your name gets mispronounced… and correcting it just doesn’t feel worth it anymore?

This episode is part language therapy, part holiday confessional, and part existential life log.

In this episode, I talk about:

• The technical vs. practical pronunciation of Leal, and how the wrong way kind of fits better with “Legacy” anyway
• My slow descent into holiday chaos, including:
  • Painting pumpkins instead of carving them, don’t do it.
  • Fake trees mean a fake Christmas, and nobody wants that.
• How we pick our battles whether it’s correcting someone’s speech or defending seasonal traditions?

This episode is straight from the heart—and the car ride playlist.

In Diary of a Disney Dad, I recap our recent family road trip to Walt Disney World, and everything that made it special (and chaotic) along the way.

Inside the episode:

• A stop at the legendary Buc-ee’s, the theme park of gas stations
• Our time exploring Disney Springs and resort hopping
• A full day at EPCOT, complete with snacks, World Showcase vibes, and classic rides
• A spooky good time at Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party in Magic Kingdom
• What it all means to me—as a Disney Adult, a dad, and someone chasing legacy every step of the way

Whether you’re a Disney regular or just here for the family feels, this one’s for you.
