Michael McDonald gets the CBS Sunday Morning treatment and Naomi and Jordan cannot be more pleased. We reflect on the 40th anniversary of Saturday Night Fever and the "Toy of the Year" has Naomi wondering if she is high. Naomi and Jordan have been all over New Mexico but not to Madrid and Jordan realizes today that he has never eaten a chestnut. 

Naomi and Jordan play an archive clip from The Sunday Morning Almanac about electric Christmas lights.

Naomi and Jordan find themselves on the side of unironic enjoyment of things, including and especially CBS Sunday Morning. Jordan explains what the deal is with Michelangelo and Naomi decides that maybe he was too much a product of his time. Naomi wonders if CBS Sunday Morning is marketing apps in their "Trending" piece and Jordan decides that he is buying what they are selling.
