This is the weekly scramble, a place where we chat about life over a cold one, or two.

It's time to belly up to the pod with Mike Fradolone and your host, Chris Revers.

Tess the season. It's time for the weekly scramble.

My name is Chris Revers.

By my side, his name is Mike Fratellone.

Michael, you know what really dawned on me as I drove in this morning to work?

It's officially the season.

And what I mean by that is you don't really know what day it is.

Sometimes people are where they're supposed to be and sometimes they're not. But it's that part of the year we're just trying to connect the dots and trying to,

oh, I got to be at this place at that time.

And then we got to go here and then we got to go there.

And it's like, oh, my God, I just want to sit at home and do nothing.

And Christmas hasn't even started yet.

Right, exactly. But did you notice one thing when you were driving in, there was no traffic?

There was barely any traffic.

Yeah, that's nice for you, right?

Because you got that long ride.

Yeah.

I do love when Christmas and New Year's fall in the middle of the week.

See, I hate that.

Really?

Why?
