In the spirit of Frank and this holiday, Michael Bailey joins me for a very special Festivus episode.We begin by exploring the origins of Festivus, both through its appearance on Seinfeld and its real-life history. And then carry on the traditions of the holiday with the airing of grievances, where we talk about what&#8217;s bothering us in pop culture this year as well as the feats of strength, wherein we take a look at the 1992-1993 Image Comics miniseries Brigade.So get out the aluminum pole and get your family around the table so you can tell them all the ways you&#8217;ve disappointed them before they try to pin you because it&#8217;s time to celebrate!<\/p>\n<audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-5823-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source
