From live Christmas tree critters and stolen holiday gifts to weird stuff discovered inside your walls, this show goes completely off the rails. We debate siblings sleeping with friends, drawing questionable things on buses, zipper etiquette, awkward restaurant habits, and why “we” gifting is a crime. Plus: December birthday drama, shopping cart morality, and a very special Michael Oppenheimer moment.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When Gandhi gets suspended from her ride share app for something she didn’t even do, the After Party crew dives into the chaos of anonymous reports, bad customer service, and how to actually get your money (or dignity) back.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this holiday Teeny Meanie, Lisa, Nick, and Celia give listeners permission to stop forcing joy, togetherness, and overcommitment just because it’s December. From skipping plans to ignoring guilt and doing only what actually feels good, the crew reminds you that rest counts, boundaries matter, and forced merriment helps no one. A messy, honest send-off before the show takes a well-earned holiday break.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
