What we’re Enjoying
Shua has fully entered his Taylor Momsen era, diving into the music of The Pretty Reckless and embracing loud, confident rock energy that feels just right for the season. Jay revisited The Shining on the big screen, proving once again that nothing says “happy holidays” quite like a stay at the Overlook Hotel. It’s a chilling theatrical experience that somehow still fits perfectly into an unconventional seasonal watchlist.

Enjoy Christmas Specials!
This episode is a full-on nostalgia blast as Jay and Shua celebrate the holiday TV specials that once ruled the airwaves. They discuss what made these broadcasts feel so special, especially in an era when missing a single airing meant waiting an entire year for another chance.
From the classics of the 1960s through the 1990s, the conversation spans styles, musical moments, family traditions, and which specials left the biggest impressions.
And they wrap up with a fun gift-exchange segment that captures the warmth and camaraderie at the heart of Enjoy Stuff.
