This Christmas special is coming at you with three hos, as we’re joined by one of the original true crime podcasters. Justin Evans from Generation WHY stops by to reminisce about his early podcasting days, survive a round of unhinged holiday dilemmas, and—most importantly—fix Christmas once and for all.
But first: dilemmas.
Trevin reveals a dirty little corporate secret after buying men’s “pull-up” pants on clearance and wearing them to work—drawstring and all. Amanda gives her Santa house a red light bulb, accidentally turning her festive décor into something vaguely satanic. And Justin visits an ear, nose, and throat doctor, only to leave feeling violated, furious, and emotionally prepared for revenge.
Then, things get serious.
🎄 Justin Fixes Christmas
Christmas didn’t used to be this sanitized. Long before it became a hyper-profitable, aggressively cheerful machine, the winter holiday was packed with strange, feral, and genuinely cool traditions pulled from cultures across the world. In this original game, Justin is given the rare opportunity to replace modern Christmas staples with forgotten—or deeply questionable—alternatives.
Across six core pillars of Christmas, Justin must answer trivia rooted in real holiday history, folklore, and chaos. Replace four or more pillars and he officially Fixes Christmas, creating a new holiday in his image: Justinmas. Fail, and Christmas remains broken forever… which feels fair.
-
Santa & Christmas Mascots — featuring the Yule Goat, Krampus, and other unsettling holiday figures
-
Decorations — including cursed spiders, suspicious pickles, and traditions no one can fully explain
-
Music & Anthems — spanning Rage Against the Machine, Miley Cyrus, and heavy metal Christmas covers recorded by Christopher Lee

If Justin wins, we debut a Justinmas Mad Lib to celebrate his newly fixed holiday.
If he loses, Christmas stays broken—and we underscored that failure with traditional Christmas music played gently beneath fart noises.
Holiday magic, but make it petty.
