It's been a long two years...of releasing absolutely zero episodes. But it has also been five years since we released our very first (what's "COVID-19"?) - crazy!

We didn't get around to talking about every kind of reunion in this episode, so here are some Honourable Mentions:

1. Your butt on the couch at the end of a work day.
2. Finding your passport for that one trip you take every 10 years or so.
3. The delivery driver that brings you pizza every Friday night.
4. The ending scene from "Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey" *starts crying*

We're sure we left a few out, but that's all off the top of our head. Oh, and if you're reading this Hamish, we'll do pepperoni on just half of the large one this week. Thanks. It's the same address. Yeah, sure - you're invited.

Merry Christmas! Recorded prior to the Season 3/series finale, your four favourite podcasting elves sat down to discuss the pros and cons of advertising the winter holidays as an annual event to attend, rather than a celebration to enjoy and be fully present in. Whether it's a notable airline company buying the dream gifts for everyone on board or a beverage company convincing us that we can only really enjoy get-togethers with a glass of their popular product in-hand, Christmas has become more and more of a performance art piece. The weird thing is, we all see it happening, but we buy into it anyway. Why? Well, you can bet that Holly, Greg, Ashlynn and Chris will talk about (if not try to answer) that question.
