There's nothing better than catching crawdads and driving your four wheeler through the mud. If you're a southerner, at least. If you're from the north you use your vehicle to drive over hookers. Don't worry, they're not real hookers. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. Learn more about your ad choices.

Did you know that having a pet makes you live longer? The studies speak for themselves. And since laughter is the best medicine, being Jewish should also make you live longer.

Tom's trying to overdose on supplements, so we pool our knowledge of pharmaceuticals to figure out a solution. Once that issue is resolved, Tom leaves to adjust his prescription which gives Nik ample time to plug his new bar. Also, Doug had been kidnapped once apparently.

While Jerry Seinfeld is drinking fancy coffee, Stephen is traveling the country drinking regular coffee and talking to regular people. We're more connected yet less unified than ever before.

As all Germans know, it's Krampus Day, the day when bad children get what's coming to them. Jeff doesn't sound German, but he knows enough about Krampus to indicate that he's probably just pretending. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's finally happened. Winter has officially arrived, and only 16 days early this time. And, like magic, it's also the day when everyone suddenly thinks the world is going to end. I think there's a term for that. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. Learn more about your ad choices.

The American revolution happened long enough ago that very few remember it. A number so low that it's zero. This is why human civilization invented writing so many times: books tend to stay around awhile. Books written by Washington, Kayehwahkeh, Margaret Coghlan, and other such individuals who had some firsthand experience with 1776 plus or minus a few years. See omnystudio.com/listener for priva...

Turns out Saint Nick is Greek, which makes Costaki the least jolly Greek on the show today after a certain team lost to a certain other team. He's not yet despondent enough to steal copper to sell though. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tommy Wiseau is a walking mystery. One of the few things most people seem confident about is that he's from an eastern European country, much like some of our hosts.

Tom has played some golf in his day. Some of that golf was with Michele. Also Rocco, but he decided not to show up in person today. But who doesn't play golf is young people who aren't from Asia.

New York City's got everything, as long as you've got the money. Actually, it doesn't really have everything; you won't be getting a huge house no matter who you are. You can get a chair upholstered without any major issues, though. Probably. Just stay out of certain areas. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Comedians these days don't know how to improv. Or write more than 30 seconds of jokes. A page full of tweets may seem like a lot of material, but there's a lot of empty space there.

No news is good news. That doesn't necessarily mean all news is bad news, but today it is. Drug-related murders, drug-related accidental deaths, politicians and media figures doing things we pretend to be surprised about. Watergate could be considered good and bad. Ben Bradlee broke that story and it turned out pretty well for him, so that's something. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy infor...

80s movies were arguably most famous for one thing: over the top action being played straight. Grenades, gunshots, and falls through plate glass were mundane. But what would happen if a regular person went through that? Andrew did the research and he found out it's not good. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
