Welcome to Stuff You Should Know, a production of IHeart Radio.

Hey, and welcome to the podcast.

I'm Josh, and there's Chuck, and Jerry's trying to come, but she's had car trouble, I guess.

Either way, she's here in spirit, the Christmas spirit, and this is stuff you should know.

That's right.

The holiday spectacular, and a couple of traditions here, is that this episode is brought to you ad free.

And also...

By no one.

Exactly, by us.

And then also, we have managed to work it out, I don't know about every year, but it seems like every year where this is the last episode that we

record of our recording year, and it's so great and so fun to wind it down this way.

It's such a special tradition.

And Chuck, I'm really excited about this particular one because this is a good combination,

a good assemblage of stuff, I guess you could say.

But like add some holly to that.

Yeah.

And I also realize when you sent your stuff over, I was like, hey, we kind of have a theme for one of yours and one of mine.

Yeah.

Which is, you know, like sugary confections from different parts of the world.

Right. So those are kind of fun. Maybe we from different parts of the world. Right.

So those are kind of fun.

Maybe we should do those back to back.
