WATT’S SO FUNNY? Tesla Santa Mode And Other Holiday Stories with Charles McBee

 

Episode 232

In this hilariously festive episode, NYC comedian Charles McBee is back on the show to declare that the Labubu may in fact be Furby’s weird grandchild, kicking off a deep dive into millennial nostalgia. We also talked about Tesla’s holiday software shenanigans, where Santa Mode transforms your ride into a virtual sleigh, and a synchronized “Jingle Rush” light show is irrefutable proof that civilization has jumped the shark, contrasting today’s effortless digital upgrades with the old-school pride of painstakingly customizing a Honda Civic with underglow and tears. From cars drowning in Christmas lights to BMW’s Advent-calendar tease for a new model reveal on Christimas Eve (sorry, it’ll never outshine Lexus’s iconic giant-bow “December to Remember” flex), the holiday hype gets gloriously skewered, including Advent calendars morphing from humble candies into absurd luxury status symbols. Press play for a fun episode to wrap up 2025!
