The spirit of the holidays is crushed into dust with the help of guest Turi Ryder, author of the fictional autobiography "She Said What?" That's also the inspiration for her new effort, "Turi Ryder's 'She Said What?' Podcast." Turi, Steve and Rich discuss Christmas tipping, Christmas Post Office horror stories, radio station holiday promotions she's ruined... and the mystery of why anyone still wraps presents.

Somehow, a discussion of natural vs. artificial Christmas trees turns into a lesson on the history of the Bunsen burner -- thanks to Steve's great friend Wayne Federman. The actor/writer also talks about his biography of the late, great Pete Maravich. And Steve wonders why the 18 year old kid who used to sleep on their couch back in the 80's is always hiring Wayne for his movies and not Steve.

VSiN's Ron Flatter sits in with Steve and Rich. They discuss complements, not getting indicted, how to get cut from an Australian rugby team, and a new betting show in Las Vegas. Ron shares his new YouTube addiction, Rich praises the third season of 'The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,' and Steve's looking forward to the Heisman Trophy show. Talk about full lives.

Steve and Rich recap their respective weekends, which for Steve was a trip to Bentonville, Arkansas and a private jet test-flight NOT taken. Rich took pride in finding a cowboy hat for his wife. Las Vegas Review-Journal food writer Al Mancini talks Polish food, non-caviar chicken and Christmas dinner in Vegas. All three try to make sense of the Peloton ad, and the gin ad that responds to it.

Steve and Rich kick off the new version of "That's Gold!" by comparing Thanksgiving dinner notes. Steve isn't a big fan of a very popular season car commercial - even if he doesn't really get it right. Dana Powell joins in with more really bad advice. Steve and Rich look ahead to a couple of big college football games, and the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas.

Rob Gronkowski is having a beach party that has the guys buzzing, Greg talks about the death threats made to Penn State quarterback Sean Clifford, Rich looks at ways to save money on holiday shopping and an update on The Sopranos movie, and Steve chats with wrestling star Ryback before Wednesday's bets are made!

New car choices are on Steve's mind, as his current lease is about to expire and his son will reach driving age during the life of the next lease. The guys check the list of players newly eligible for the MLB Hall of Fame. SiriusXM's Zig Fracassi joins Steve to talk all things football and hockey in Boston. There's more car talk - the electric kind. And what about the expert on money laundering who's accused of... guess what?
