Hello, the internet, and welcome to this special holiday episode of Dernayli Zeitgeist.

It's a production of IHeartRadio.

For the holidays, we take a deep dive into America's shared consciousness, usually. For the holidays, we take a deep dive into America's shared Christmas spirit,

The format of these episodes is something Jack and I have talked about for maybe since we met Chris.

Yeah.

And we realized he hasn't seen nothing for...

He hasn't seen shit, man.
