and looked back on some of their favorite holiday hijinks while counting down to Christmas Day.
During a bonus episode of “New Heights,” released via Wondery+ on Thursday, December 19, the brothers opened their hotline once again to field questions from fans — but this time, they were a little more family friendly.

Jason laughed as Travis recalled, “I was like, ‘This is how mom spells all of our names.’ I was just like, ‘What the f—? Where’s the one that’s from Santa and not mom?’ Santa and mom have the same handwriting, that’s crazy.”

“They had me be a part of aiding and abetting them in their shenanigans after that,” he teased, to which Travis replied, “Nice, everyone team up on Travis. Love that.”
