Zak is obsessed with putting up holiday decorations at his home. Not because he feels the magic of the season, but because his new neighbors have gone over the top with theirs, and he’s embarrassed that his display is embarrassing. His wife, Amber, says he spent $2200 so far this year and she’s upset about it. Forget about “keeping up with the Jonses”, they just don’t have the money for this kind of thing, especially since they need to buy Christmas presents. He argues that these are things they’ll have forever and since there’s a line of cars down their street every night, it just makes sense to do it too. What do you think? (33:40)
Greg has got a shot at $1700! All he has to do is beat Raven in pop culture trivia! (42:21)
