In this final episode of 2025, Scott and Kristin reflect on the year, discuss holiday preparations, celebrity news, and charity auctions. They share amusing travel mishaps, delve into airline etiquette, and explore the absurdity of proposed pet care legislation. The conversation shifts to the cultural significance of words, Christmas traditions, and the rising popularity of pop-up events. They also touch on cruise line policies regarding symbols like upside down pineapples, before wrapping up with thoughts on the future and holiday wishes.

Topics include:

• Stephen Colbert's eBay auction for charity
• A man gets stuck in the baggage carousel at Dulles airport
• The Washington Post wants holiday travelers to use the airplane overhead bin correctly
• PETA wants to pass a law that requires people to walk their dogs three times a day
• Merriam-Webster announces their word of the year for 2025
• Lollitops are now a thing
• Little Nero's Pizzas, from the Christmas classic movie "Home Alone" are popping up nationwide
• A "Friends" inspired Central Perk coffeehouse opens in New York City's Times Square
• How much are you willing to pay for a real Christmas tree?
• Upside-down pineapples have been banned from Carnival Cruise Lines' cabin doors
• We comment on why we're not mentioning the horrific things that have happened in the world since our last episode
• And we wish all of our listeners and viewers a very Merry Christmas and a prosperous, civil New Year!

The show will be on hiatus for the next four weeks. Our next fresh new episode—it's be number 499!—will drop on Wednesday, January 21, 2026.
