Summary

92%ers, it's time for another edition of the Heights Hotline!

On today’s episode, Jason and Travis respond to your Holiday Hot Takes. We debate if Halloween has overtaken Christmas as the best holiday, try to figure out why we even eat turkey, and somehow we end up defending the honor of sweet potatoes.

Call us at 929-399-7260 to be featured in the next installment of the Heights Hotline.

We’ve got even more New Heights coming your way. Tune in Monday for our guest episode with Erin Andrews and Charissa Thompson!
