    In Episode 31, we’re getting into that holiday headspace — talking about when people actually start decorating for Christmas. Is it right after Halloween, or do we show Thanksgiving some respect first?

    Mike takes a trip down memory lane, remembering what Christmas felt like as a kid — the lights, the sounds, the magic — and how those memories hit different now that we’re grown.

    We also take a serious moment to reflect on the recent passing of an NFL player and the importance of mental health — a reminder that even those who seem to have it all might be fighting battles we can’t see.

    And of course, we wrap it all up with the Open Mike Mailbag — your stories, your laughs, and your takes.

    So grab your hot cocoa, plug in those lights, and let’s get festive… in our own chaotic way.
