S3 E7: Christmas

The Story of...

Dec 20 2023 • 1 hr 2 mins

Happy Holidays from the TSO crew! This week the boys (Smith, Mike & Camp) deconstruct the holiday we all know and love: CHRISTMAS! What is the REAL significance of December 25th? Was Jesus born in January, or even March?! Why do we have Christmas trees? What happened to the debauchery of Christmas? Did you know that Coca-Cola influenced the holiday more than you know? And where did all these ELVES COME FROM?! We also discuss our favorite Christmas memories and get all nostalgic and mushy.

Join us this week as the boys get a little soft and take the non-Religious approach to one of the most religious of holidays (which wasn't always the case).


BONUS CONTENT: Stay tuned after the episode for some outtakes from our kids (52:08 and 54:04)
