January 24, 2025 The Shadow People Ep3 - Deck the Halls, Not Your Family!
Join Nigel Hall and Derrick Freeman as they sleigh their way into
Episode 3 of The Shadow People! From holiday highs to seasonal
struggles, this episode is a chaotic, hilarious, and heartfelt
exploration of Christmas traditions, wild family stories, and their
ultimate top (and bottom) holiday jams. Can “All I Want for Christmas”
spark a debate worthy of a holiday feast? (Spoiler: Yes.)
They also discuss their favorite yacht rock legends, Michael McDonald's
magic touch, and even spill about meeting the man himself (over a
grilled cheese, no less). Plus, hear their hot takes on New Year’s
Eve—aka “Amateur Hour”—and why some Christmas songs should retire for
good.
🎄 Expect plenty of laughs, stories of holiday chaos, and a sprinkle of
seasonal wisdom: cling to the people you love, cut the toxic ones loose,
and keep your playlists Donny Hathaway-approved.
