Advent 2025 E14 - Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel...
🎙️ Episode 14: Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel…
Today’s Advent Calendar micro-dose takes a wonderfully chaotic dive into Hanukkah — or rather, the version the three of you thought you understood growing up in Indiana. The gang reflects on how Adam Sandler’s “Hanukkah Song” was basically their first Judaism crash course, why none of them knew anyone lighting a menorah as kids, and how blue-and-white Christmas lights accidentally made their house look like a synagogue.
