Ready for a podcast with absolutely no plan—and even less holiday self-control? 🎄✨ This week we’re celebrating the holidays RWR-style: flying by the seat of our pants, drinking whatever’s in the mug, and hosting a live Facebook hangout where literally anything could happen. Come for the laughs, stay for the festive chaos…

The mics heat up fast—cake, candles, and pure chaos—then we lock in on the stories Detroit cares about. We unpack the Diddy saga with fresh reporting: a cushy chapel job, a three-month loss of phone and commissary after a rule-breaking call, and the shockwaves from a 50 Cent–backed docuseries that surfaces ego, alleged abuse, and the receipts Diddy never thought would see daylight. The most sobering moment comes as Aubrey O’Day reads a letter about events she doesn’t remember, illuminating trauma and power in the music industry.

We shift gears to a true-crime twist in the Singer David case—medical examiner notes about deep-freeze conditions complicate cause-of-death findings—then square up a viral claim from Tara Reid. Surveillance footage tells a different story from the “roofied at the hotel bar” narrative, and we talk media literacy in the age of napkins over wine glasses and AI images masquerading as truth. Detroit’s hope story shines bright: Big Sean and Usher each commit a million dollars to launch a creator incubator at the future Michigan Central Boys and Girls Club, with LED volume stages, VFX labs, and hands-on production training for ages 14–24. Add the new Museum of Illusions downtown, and you can feel the city’s creative engine roaring.

Sports fans eat, too. The Lions overcome injuries for a statement win and renewed playoff momentum, while the Pistons get a measured look at health, consistency, and seeding. Then a story that restores faith: 88-year-old veteran and Meijer cashier Ed Bambas goes viral, raising over a million dollars to finally retire with dignity—and yes, he’s finishing the holiday stretch at the register. We honor the legacy of Jellybean Johnson, a key architect of the Minneapolis Sound, and spotlight Hype Live Sessions—the Detroit platform that streams artists without charging performance fees—before closing with music that matters: a sleek John Paul cut and a raw, resonant track on depression and suicide that’s already changed lives.
