The guys talk about this day in 1967 when the famed Ice Bowl took place in Green Bay. The Packers beat the Cowboys, and the goalpost came down.

The busiest man we know this time of year is Santa Claus. He makes a special trip to the Maino & The Mayor studio to bring our listeners a special gift! He reads this letter during his visit: Dear Jim and John, Ho, ho, ho! While your behavior this year has left a little room for improvement (perhaps a few less cookies and a bit more kindness?), your loyal listeners have been absolutely wonderful! And because they've been so good, I thought they deserved a very special gift this Christmas season. The elves at the North Pole have been hard at work in their workshop—and with a little magical engineering, they've built something extra special: a brand-new radio signal to spread even more joy across Appleton and the Fox Valley!

After the storm, the guys start discussing shopping for the holiday season. Maino had a situation yesterday where he was "the guy" who stopped the progression in the checkout line. One of his items didn't have a price tag, so the clerk had to look for one with a tag. The rest of the checkout line glared at him. We also have another example of the difference between Jim and John: where they like to shop. Jim? Macy's. John? Menard's. Can you say "exactly??" Then Lisa Hale from NEWisco Weekend joins the guys to talk about this weekend's show, and they discuss Christmas in the bayou and least favorite Christmas songs.

Maino tells a story about buying a CB back in the day and hearing "lot lizards" trying to drum up business. Then, the boys debate on what's going on with UWGB Men's Basketball. It's been a rough season. Maino asks the question: If I bought a book for my son and read it before I give it to him, is it considered regifting? A quick poll shows that the majority of our listeners do NOT believe it is a true regifting situation. What do you think?
