As our eggnog headaches have finally subsided, we invite you into a world of chaotic holiday recaps and resolutions that don't always stick. Remember when you thought you could just 'wing it' at the local New Year's Eve pierogi drop? We do, and let's just say the story is as golden-brown and deliciously awkward as those festive dumplings. Gather 'round as we relive our holiday highs and lows, and share a few laughs over the unexpected snowpocalypse that had us wrangling kids and technology in a winter wonderland gone wild.

But holidays are only the appetizer in our smorgasbord of celebrations—we're also serving up a main course of global festivity that's sure to tickle your travel bug and possibly your funny bone. Have you ever found yourself flinging tomatoes in Spain or dodging oranges in Italy? We break down the joyful mayhem of festivals like La Tomatina and the Battle of the Oranges, and even whisk you away to Japan's Gion Matsuri and Australia's grape-stomping festivities. Want to know what it's like to be part of these vibrant traditions? Tune in and let's embark on an auditory journey that spans continents and splatters color (and fruit juice) everywhere.

Finally, we wrap things up with a dash of eccentricity by plunging into the peculiar world of competitions you never knew existed but now won't be able to forget. Whether it's snorkeling through a murky bog in Wales or risking shin bruises in an old-fashioned English contest, we're celebrating the wonderfully weird side of human nature. Plus, we've got success stories, vision boards that work (no, really), and a special shoutout to our listeners in Germany. Join us, and who knows, you might just be inspired to add a monkey festival or a nose-pulling competition to your bucket list.

Thank you for joining us on today's show, as always, we appreciate each and every one of you! Talk to you soon
