šŸŽ Episode 25 – All the Presents… šŸŽ

The Miller Morning Madhouse Advent Calendar (The Whole Damn Thing)
This is it. The big one. The entire Advent Calendar… unwrapped, dumped on the floor, and re-assembled into one glorious, unhinged, 2½-hour episode of Miller Morning Madhouse madness.

Every bit. Every joke. Every musical moment. Every rant, laugh, argument, accidental insight, and festive derailment from December all packed into one long, cozy (and occasionally chaotic) listen. If you missed an episode, this is your cheat code. If you heard them all… congratulations, you’re now legally part of the show.

More than anything, this episode is a love letter to Miller. To our friends, neighbors, collaborators, guests, musicians, sponsors, weirdos, and community institutions who showed up, jumped in, lent their voices, their time, and their patience to this very dumb podcast.
We truly love you all. This show only works because of the people around us the laughs in the room, the texts afterward, the ā€œhey, I listenedā€ comments in the wild. That’s the good stuff.

Thank you for spending December with us. Thank you for supporting local nonsense. Thank you for being part of the Madhouse.
We’re going to take a breath, drink some water, and we’ll be back this spring with a brand-new season; louder, dumber, and somehow even more heartfelt.
Until then…

Stay weird. Stay local. Stay Miller.
