#29 Passive Aggressive Christmas | Discombobulated with Bobby Jaycox

Step onto the wild sleigh ride of family holiday madness as we reminisce about the Christmas chaos that's as familiar as it is unpredictable. From the cousin's date turned beer burglar to being called by our childhood nicknames, this episode peels back the layers of yuletide tradition, served with a side of laughter and a sprinkle of heartfelt nostalgia. And just when you thought your Christmas couldn't get any more discombobulated, imagine mine, where the static electricity of family love both shocks and warms the heart.

Bright stage lights, the roar of the crowd—catch the behind-the-scenes glimpse of comedy life that's more than just punchlines. I'll take you through the emotional highs of performing to a sold-out room, the oddity of a Friday night audience that's just out of reach, and the unexpected joy of a liberating late Saturday show. Joining us is Dan from Story of the Year, sharing in the camaraderie and the razor's edge of laughter where the personal meets the public. Plus, a chance encounter with Dane Cook throws in a pinch of star-struck reality into the mix, proving that heroes come in all forms—some even with a mic in hand.

Finally, wrap yourself up in the warmth of childhood Christmas memories, where the thrill of a new dirt bike and the melodies of Bing Crosby and Reba McEntire evoke the spirit of the season. We'll explore the fast-moving time from Thanksgiving to New Year's and the poignant realization that Santa's magic is as real as our imagination allows. I'll even share how the heroism of a cousin's life-saving CPR reminds us that amidst the holiday cheer, the potential to be someone's miracle lingers in the air, as tangible as the pine scent on a cold winter's night.
