Oh, come all ye faithful (and fine)! It’s the holiday edition of The List, and we’re officially saying "bye-bye" to 2025 and "hello" to our calling. We’re getting into our favorite Christmas songs, unpacking the complexities of family, reminding ourselves that health really is wealth, and debating what actually makes a relationship last. PLUS, one of the co-hosts drops some MAJOR news you do not want to miss.

On this episode of The List, we’re joined by comedian, actor, and writer, Jay Jurden, whose brand new comedy special, "Yes Ma'am," drops on Hulu November 7th! We’re talking Bad Bunny at the Super Bowl, billionaires versus everybody, and why straight men really need to tell their friends “I love you.” Plus, we’re melting down over Tyra Banks’ hot ice cream, calling out reality TV’s circus era, and side-eyeing the “rich culture” TV keeps trying to sell us. It’s giving jokes, gems, and group chat energy. Listen wherever you get your podcasts!
