Summary

Happy Holidays! Bethany’s talking about the less-than-wholesome depictions of Santa Claus in recent media, including one who drowned Fran Drescher in eggnog. Then, Kathleen is asking everyone to take a different look at themselves: what would people say about you in a eulogy? Is it what you’d *want* them to say? Plus, who would you leave an “I’m Sorry” $1 million to?
