Hosts Dave and Joe ring in 2026 with holiday anecdotes, family gatherings, snowy driveway battles, and favorite comfort foods. They review Wicked 2.

The episode also covers big headlines — Jake Paul’s brutal fight with Anthony Joshua, Merriam‑Webster’s 2025 word of the year “slop,” China’s new tax on contraceptives, a cruise ship incident, and an eye‑opening (and very odd) government list of items found in people’s rectums — plus a Pokémon vs. narcotic quiz and a quirky Venus fact to close out the show.

Ho, ho, ho! Merry Christmas! Join Dave and Joe on the Gen Extra Podcast as they discuss cruise ship news, outrageous holiday stories, the "is Die Hard a Christmas movie" debate, 1950s gift nostalgia, Christmas fun facts, and a festive trivia round. Laugh along with their takes on songs, movies, and seasonal pet peeves.

Dave and Joe catch up after the holidays, trade stories about Thanksgiving, learning to drink coffee, and movie memories (Jurassic Park). They dig into local and viral oddities — a wedding photographer scam, a stolen shopping cart, Pepsi’s Sierra Mist rename, and a bizarre 1923 teacher contract full of archaic rules.

The episode rounds out with absurd news clips: a drunk raccoon breaks into a liquor store, a bald eagle drops a cat onto a windshield, a woman found alive before cremation, and a missing cruise passenger. Short, funny, and strange — a classic Gen Extra mix.
