#78: Christmas Eve with the Mullingers
Episode 78
Tuesday, 23 December, 2025
Brought to you by Ganong ChocolatierTo purchase Ganong’s new Sea Salted Caramels and Peanut Butter Caramel Clusters that James can’t stop raving about, please visit Shoppers Drug Mart, Sobeys, Safeway, Foodland, Canadian Tire, Atlantic Superstore, Dominion or Walmart Atlantic.Episode 78 is a funny, reflective, slightly frazzled and deeply grateful end-of-year ramble, opening with the oddly satisfying (and mildly annoying) fact that Christmas 2025 is almost 25/25/25, if only the calendar would cooperate.From there, James looks back on an extraordinary year on the road: over 100 shows, six provinces, thousands of laughs, countless hugs and a profound sense of gratitude for the audiences, venues, promoters and fellow comedians who made it the best year of his life. There are shout-outs, tour highs, cultural observations, Christmas traditions, favourite films and songs. Beneath the jokes, though, this episode gets honest. James talks candidly about anxiety, overthinking, creative insecurity and how performing is often the only reliable switch that quiets his brain. He reflects on grief, friendships, career knockbacks, confidence after good gigs and disappointment after bad ones, plus the strange balance between caring deeply about the world and protecting the emotional energy your family deserves. There are musings on comedy as purpose, why getting out of the house can save your sanity, why laughter is still the fuel, and why a life built around pubs, theatres and making people laugh in New Brunswick might just be the perfect version of success. Funny, heartfelt and reassuringly human, this is a Christmas Eve episode for anyone trying to stay hopeful, grateful and sane.Mullinger's Weekly Ramble is brought to you by Ganong ChocolatierPlease send any questions to comedy@jamesmullinger.comFor podcast sponsorship opportunities, please email info@podstarter.caProduced by Podstarter
