Advent 2025 E16 - Oh Yeah...It's Your Birthday...
🎙️ Episode 16: “Oh Yeah…It’s Your Birthday…” (Dec 16) — The Josh Scramble Birthday Special! It’s Josh Scramble’s actual birthday, so the Madhouse crew does what it does best: celebrates with love… and immediately turns it into a group therapy session for anyone born within blast radius of Christmas. Special guest local music legend Chad “Bacon” Burton drops into the (very mid) basement studio, roasts our setup with his manly radio voice, and joins the debate on the cruelest holiday tradition of all: the dreaded “one gift for both” birthday/Christmas combo. We also take a nostalgic detour through Service Merchandise, catalogs heavy enough to commit a felony, and the eternal rule: if a kid has a December birthday, don’t be a dick—give two gifts.
🙏 Huge thanks to Chad Burton for stopping by and making the Advent Calendar even better…and if you’re local, catch him Fri, Dec 19 at the Isaac Walton League (Miller Chapter) for the Jingle & Mingle Adult Christmas Party (starts 6:00pm, Chad on 7:30pm).
