It’s the season of giving! But Jon says stop. STOP BUYING GIFTS! People have to much stuff anyway and in this week’s episode, Alex and Jon discuss the culture around gift giving and how out of control it is. It’s time to start spending money on experiences and not on toasters! If it were up to Jon, everyone would get coal. Luckily, Jon is not Santa Claus and he has Alex to give the perfect gift on behalf of both of them.

80. Giving you commitment, vandalism, and hallucinogens
02/12/2025 | 1h 19min
Sometimes all you want from family is attention..and all of it. In this week’s episode, Alex and Jon once again tackle your questions from “How do I get more attention?” to “Was Dr.Seuss on drugs?”. I think we can all agree he was on SOMETHING when writing his books, right? Alex seems to think so since all she does now is read to Lucy. Jon can’t focus on reading because he’s too busy defending crimes like vandalism. If you can’t tell, this episode has a range of topics so there’s something for everyone!
