## Resource

The crew starts by unpacking Apple TV’s PLUR1BUS and asking the only question that really matters: are the spiney trees real? From there, they argue that people are doing Christmas gifts all wrong by telling their families exactly what they want, before getting nostalgic about why celebrating New Year’s Eve just doesn’t hit the same anymore. The episode wraps with a timeless household debate — is it better to use the dishwasher or wash dishes by hand? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
