Welcome to the Chat and Cheese Podcast’s holiday extravaganza, where HR gossip meets holiday cheer — and no one is safe. It’s like your company holiday party, but with more alcohol and fewer awkward dance moves (maybe).

Holiday Coal Recipients:

1. The Master of Deception
2. The Corporate Grinch
3. The Kings of “Almost There”

Holiday Heroes:

1. The Billion-Dollar Badass
2. The Pop Powerhouse
3. The Viral Appetizer Wizard

Final Thought:

Whether you’re running from accountability or running the world, Chad & Joel see you. In a year filled with corporate antics, unlikely successes, and viral cheese pulls, they’ve made their holiday list — and checked it twice.
