Talking About The Holidays: Holiday Relationships - Episode 437
Episode 437
Monday, 1 December, 2025
Episode 437 of Friends Talking Nerdy brings Professor Aubrey and Tim the Nerd back to the mic for their month-long dive into all things Holiday, and this week they’re tackling a topic that hits everyone right in the eggnog: Holiday Relationships.In this episode, the duo explores the emotional gymnastics we all perform when navigating family during the season—whether that family is the one we were born into or the one we lovingly assembled like a geeky, mismatched Avengers lineup. They dig into the pressure cooker of expectations, traditions, and old dynamics that magically reappear the moment you walk through the door. From managing long-standing tension to dealing with those relatives who treat political debates like a competitive sport, the conversation stays honest, warm, and grounded.Professor Aubrey and Tim the Nerd break down practical strategies for keeping interactions healthy and humane—things like setting boundaries without lighting the Yule log on fire, checking in with your own stress levels, finding small ways to recharge, and making space for empathy even when the room is already too crowded. They also discuss how chosen family can provide stability, joy, and sanity when the holidays feel overwhelming.To wrap things up, they share their Songs of the Week. Professor Aubrey brings “The Water” by Johnny Flynn, a reflective and beautifully layered piece that mirrors the emotional ebb and flow of the season. Tim counters with Warren Zevon’s “A Certain Girl,” a punchy, playful classic that adds a little spark to the playlist.As always, we wish to thank Christopher Lazarek for his wonderful theme song.
