The Dallas Cowboys are officially head coach-less. Who has a more headline-worthy take on the situation: Emily or Troy Aikman? Plus, we reflect on the Cotton Bowl and some insightful comments by a Texas Longhorn.

Also: How long is too long to leave up holiday decor? Are kids these days scared of phone calls?

And we talk through the horrific situation on the West Coast.  

Last but not least, birthday parties around here are getting a little crazy. Paige Lohoefer, founder of the Birthday Party Project, joins the show to introduce us to her remarkable non-profit and lend some perspective to us all.
