    Dec 31 2024

    After a few weeks off, the boys are back with a brand-new episode! The holiday season is a time for joy, family, and... bizarre traditions? In this special installment of Pop Culture Roulette, we’re unwrapping some of the most unusual Christmas customs from around the globe.

And let’s not forget the annual pudding-throwing extravaganzas that leave some communities delightfully sticky and entirely festive. These odd yet charming traditions remind us that the holiday spirit comes in many flavors—sometimes fried, sometimes magical, and occasionally hurled across the room.
