In Episode 29 of the Grounded Podcast (A very special Christmas Episode) Jeff talks about the results of his first Twitter poll which covers the very heated issue of cheese freezing. (Check Jeff's Facebook for more details) is also the "You Cannot Be Serious"

Jeff reads an essay that his buddy Jake wrote from 2007 when Jeff ate shit trying to dunk a basketball for over 1000 people as a mascot in college.

Jeff brings back the instant storytime segment this time to discuss the bible story Noah.

Jeff Puts out a Snap asking the audience what the worst Christmas song ever is?
What do you think it is? He will probably discuss it more on the next episode if people send in more opinions about it.

Jeff Zenisek is back in the original Grounded Podcast Studios (upstairs in his parents house) to deliver another all over the place rant for nearly an hour where Jeff gets into his sister visiting his apartment in LA and going to see and hopefully participate in a taping of The Price is Right.

Jeff somehow transitions from that to the games that you can win inside fast food places and how he used to be a master of the Taco Bell Rotating Neon Platforms game...which sparked his memory of a old restuarant in West Virginia his mom used to take him to called Rax. Which had a Shot Glass in a Fish Tank Game that Jeff used to dominate for free Rax Cheeseburgers.

Which then sparked Jeff to wonder what happened to the restuarant chain Rax...Dont worry though. Jeff reads the entire history and current status of the Rax chain.

Jeff gets into an email from a listener with a great Whatcha Gonna Do Scenario in it... Thanks MikeD!!

Jeff Zenisek discusses thanksgiving traditions, a YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS about a douchebag who is suing Chipotle because the burritos are "too filling."

Jeff brings up a picture he wanted to talk about that is Halloween related, but Jeff laughed at this picture for 20 minutes straight when he first saw it, so its worth it.

Jeff also talks about doing Let's Plays on his YouTube channel and the poor choice he made in his first lets play. He also discusses dudes who freak out playing video games, and brings a few examples from a Lets play that he watched recently.

Jeff tries to figure out why people suddenly hate Christopher Columbus while reminiscing about learning about him in school. Jeff recalls a story from teaching a summer camp of kids and dealing with children.

Jeff also makes a point of how pathetic it is when a politician tries to be a regular person. Jeff makes this point by discussing the California Senate race where a candidate tried to punctuate her closing remarks with a dab (dont worry if you dont know what the dab is Jeff explains it).

Jeff suggests that rather than taking down Columbus, we take down David of the David and Goliath story, especially after starting a potentially new segment called "storytime"

Suggest a story for Jeff to read (be detailed in your story request, cause Jeff has probably not read the story you're talking about).

Jeff Zenisek goes off on a rant about Michael Jordan and his retired number fiasco, and reminisces about his childhood and remembers his childhood Michael Jordan pogs.

Jeff keeps a similar theme from last episode where he bitches about children comedians, but since the previous episode there has been more news about children comedy.

An adult wrote a blog about how the 13 year old wrote a joke poking fun at someone other than Donald Trump and now they have to write a blog about offensive it is to make a training bra joke that involves Caitlyn Jenner.

Then also Jeff saw an article being passed around by fellow comics that A&E picked up a series following the career of an 11 year old comic. She was featured on the Today Show and Jeff talks about the clip.

Then Jeff transitions into what happens when we get behind a mediocre talented child star before they hone their craft by showing the clip of Corey Feldman and his weird dancing and ridiculous club song.

Jeff briefly discusses his going to comedy festivals while taking tangents and getting off subject like always and tries to find an origin for galactic bowling (the worst thing ever).
