In this installment of Best Of The Gist, we are replaying Mike’s Monday Spiel about AirBNB’s ineffective attempts at combatting racism. Then we dig into the Gist archives and listen back to Mike and his then-eight-year-old son Emmett sing political duets to the tune of Santa Claus Is Coming To Town.
Of the many traditions associated with the Christmas season, one of the biggest is food. Foods that are often eaten only at this time of the year and seldom outside of the season.
Unlike other Christmas traditions, food can vary greatly in different places, as well as through time. Many Christmas foods eaten in the past can’t even be found today.

If you’re not familiar, “Good Good Good” is an independent media company focused on the good in the world.

We meet GOP representative-elect George Santos and his various lies, frauds, deceits and impersonations.
