🎙️ Episode 3 — Black Friday
Miller Morning Madhouse Audio Advent Calendar

It’s December 3rd, and the holiday chaos continues as Pancake, Scramble, and Jen dive headfirst into the retail hellscape known as Black Friday — a day Jen Pancake absolutely despises at a molecular level.

The episode kicks off with Pancake accidentally channeling Grandma Pancake’s racism, Scramble confessing he used to work at the Southlake Mall Disney Store, and Jen explaining how Black Friday used to be normal before corporations decided to weaponize doorbusters and 6AM reward coupons.

Scramble reveals that back in the Disney Store days, people would line up before 10AM for an extra 25% off — and he’d be stuck running $600 transactions while the House of Mouse made bank and he took home absolutely none of it.

Jen officially declares Black Friday “the seventh circle of hell,” while Jerry insists consumers would be better off shopping local — like Indie Indie Bang Bang, whose socks, cards, and artisan gifts the gang gushes over with zero shame.

The crew also debunks Black Friday myths, shares trauma about Best Buy crowds, describes the downfall of TV prices (“A 65-inch was $85 at Meijer today!”), and gives listeners the ultimate holiday shopping advice:

“If you just wait a couple weeks, you’ll get the same deals without fighting a single grandma.”

And of course, Jerry wraps it all up with a shameless yet festive plug:
