This week, the boys are roasting the absolute worst holiday characters ever created — the ones that make you wish Christmas came with a recall policy. From Zwarte Piet, the racist relic the Netherlands refuses to retire, to Spuds MacKenzie’s beer-soaked Santa phase. We’re unwrapping the tackiest, creepiest, and most problematic icons of the season, and asking: who thought this was festive? Then in Emails From The Listeners, a listener writes in about his girlfriend’s ex getting the backdoor access he never could, and the guys try to explain America’s insane tipping culture to a confused Italian newcomer. In News, we cover the bizarre case of the woman convicted of cyber farting — yes, literal weaponized flatulence. And finally, Not The Drag Queens returns with the infuriating story of an Oklahoma teen who brutally assaulted two girls and somehow got probation — proving once again, it’s not the drag queens hurting people. It’s the privileged bros the justice system keeps protecting.

The bracket chaos continues! The guys are back with Part 2 of The Best Excuses to Leave a Party Early Tournament, and it’s time to crown the ultimate champion of social bailouts.

It’s the hilarious and weirdly informative showdown you didn’t know you needed — and trust us, this one’s a can’t-miss episode for anyone who’s ever Irish-goodbyed before dessert.

Plus, in this week’s listener emails, one guy’s girlfriend has gone full Christmas in October, another can’t deal with his partner’s overpacking, and the news gets wild with an NBA gambling scandal involving mob ties and insider bets. Then, in Not the Drag Queens, a so-called “family values” guy in Indiana gets busted for the exact crimes he’s been preaching against — proving once again, it’s never the drag queens.

You don’t need ghosts or serial killers to be terrified. Real life is horrifying enough. This week on The FratChat Podcast, we’re diving into The Scariest Things That Aren’t Actually Scary. From waiting for STD results to hearing your doctor say “hmm,” we’re breaking down the real-life moments that make your stomach drop and your soul briefly exit your body.

Then we hit the News, featuring Kevin Federline’s attempt at a comeback with his new memoir — and let’s just say, Britney’s not thrilled. Finally, in Not The Drag Queens, we tackle another week of GOP horror stories — this time, Young Republicans caught sharing Nazi memes in a private chat and a literal swastika flag found in a congressman’s office. Because once again, the real monsters aren’t in drag. They’re in power.

We’re breaking down her most legendary, most savage, and most bad ass moments. Because when it comes to power moves, Taylor’s in a league of her own. But that’s not all! In Emails from the Listeners, one guy writes in to ask if his girlfriend’s Taylor Swift obsession is normal OR if he’s about to come home to a cardboard Travis Kelce shrine.
