Description: In this segment, Marc "Moose" Malusis takes a break from sports talk to get personal about the "tremendous amount of pressure" that comes with being a parent during the holidays. He contrasts the carefree joy of his own childhood—filled with snowball fights, sleigh riding, and Bing Crosby—with his current reality: a marathon 9-hour shift in the kitchen. From navigating high-stakes menu requests like "hollow bread French toast casserole" to the weight of creating "perfect" memories for his kids, Moose explores why the magic of Christmas feels a lot more like a full-time job once you're the one wearing the apron.
