Chapter 1: What holidays are being celebrated in this episode?
Nobody's listening, right? Hi, Andy.
Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas. Happy Hanukkah. Happy Hanukkah. I'm just laughing because you always get mad at me for not acknowledging your Jewish holidays the way that the Anglo-Saxon traditions are often celebrated.
Yeah. I don't know what that meant, what you just said, but yes.
Chapter 2: What are the implications of Jesus being viewed as a socialist?
So I am very excited on this Christmas day to speak with you for an hour as though no one's listening.
Yeah.
Curious. Got to know, though. Is anyone out there listening?
This one felt sort of appropriate.
Okay.
It's from Meg over on Apple Podcasts.

Chapter 3: What is the F, Marry, Kill game and how does it work?
Christian listener here.
Oh. Oh. Very appropriate.
Finally started listening per St. Monica's request.
Hang on, I got it.
That feels appropriate, too, on Christmas.
It sure does, yeah. Our patron Saint Monica, who... She is a patron as well. Who, just in case there are two people out there who don't know who Saint Monica is, we're speaking of the glorious Monica Padman from Armchair Expert, who has boosted our show up. So...
generously for so long and what is remembering the sopranos what do they call the like the mistresses the side pieces do you know what i'm talking about a guma
Oh, I don't know. Don't you remember? No.
Let's just say side piece. Well, the rumor is that she is Santa's side piece.

Love it. So, okay, back to Meg, Christian listener here. Okay. Thank you. My faith means so much to me, and I still think there's so much booty to be found in it.
Booty? I feel like there is booty to be found. There might be booty to be found in it. In those youth Christian groups, those people are getting so much booty. Go ahead. That's so true. It is. It is.
Know that there are some of us out here that hold a lot more in common with you. Than with the wild Christian influencers.
Yes, I do know this.
Laffy face. Love you both and thankful for what you do.

Chapter 5: How can confidence impact our daily lives?
Well, listen, this is a day I get a little sentimental and I was raised Roman Catholic.
Roman Catholic.
I've never said that before in my life. Roman Catholic. But that is indeed what it is. And I have such conflicted feelings about all of it. And I am pretty anti-religion. I think in large part thanks to you and your views, Andy. But...
I don't know how I feel about that.
Remember when you forbade me from going to Baha'i service in New York?
Oh, I'm sorry. You want to become Baha'i now?
What if... I mean, what if my entire life trajectory would have been better?
I'd like to know if we have any Baha'i listeners. Shout us out if you're a Baha'i listener.
I don't even know what... Baha'i, I think, is one of those religions that it doesn't even get a fair chance because it just screams cult, like from tops to butts. But anyway, I miss a mass, like a Christmas mass.

Chapter 6: What role does optimism play during the holiday season?
Chapter 7: What are the hosts' reflections on gratitude during the holidays?
That's what I think Meg summed it up perfectly with. And we do... Have no beef with the Christians or any religion, really. What we have beef with is the greed, the homophobia, the racism, the misogyny that shows up in any of these. And my big pet peeve, especially with a lot of the cults, is the brainwashing and really just fucking up people's lives forever.
Sure.
That's the stuff we got a problem with.
Yep.
If you want to ride or die with JC just because you love those beliefs and whatnot, we're totally down with that.
Oh, I love it.
And don't get me started about Christmas. We love Christmas.
Oh, my gosh. The Christmas spirit is, I am feeling.
Overfloweth.
