ep 83 – Holiday Mash-Up Mayhem, Nobody Wanted the Slide Whistles

In Episode 83 of Flight 1080, Dave Michaels and Billy throw the calendar out the window and celebrate everything at once — Christmas, Thanksgiving, the 4th of July, Hanukkah, Groundhog's Day, Halloween, Mechanical Pencil Day, Open Heart Surgery Day, Cataract Surgery Day and more!

We also debut another thrilling round of "What's in My Hand?", where listeners attempt to identify a mystery object based solely on the sound it makes. Meanwhile, we tackle the big question: Is AI actually revolutionary… or just the new Beanie Babies? And in a moment that will go down in radio history, we attempt to give away used slide whistles. Shockingly, no one wanted them.
