Robbi On The Record

The truth about Santa and Christmas is far deeper than the stories we grew up with. In this episode, we break down the real origins of Santa Claus, the history of Christmas, and the surprising blend of Christian, pagan, Norse, and commercial influences that shaped the holiday we celebrate today. Santa didn’t just appear out of thin air. He’s a fusion of: • Saint Nicholas, a 4th-century Christian bishop known for radical generosity • Sinterklaas, the Dutch gift-bringer who inspired early American traditions • Odin, the Norse god who rode a flying horse and rewarded children during winter • Father Christmas, the British symbol of feasting and cheer • And finally, Coca-Cola, which reinvented Santa into the global icon we know today But this episode goes deeper than Santa. We explore the ancient festivals that predate Christmas: • Yule, Norse winter traditions, the Wild Hunt, evergreen symbolism • Saturnalia, Roman gift-giving and winter feasts • Midwinter rituals tied to solstice celebrations • Krampus and the darker European folklore tied to Christmas We also investigate the most-asked question: Was Jesus actually born on December 25? You’ll learn how early Christians chose the date, how pagan traditions were absorbed into Christian culture, and how Christmas evolved into a blend of faith, folklore, family, and fantasy. This episode is not about ruining Christmas, it’s about understanding it. Because when you know the truth, your celebration becomes richer, deeper, and more intentional.

Today we go On the Record about one of the biggest biological and cultural shifts happening right now: the collapse of male testosterone and the crisis of modern masculinity. Men today have lower testosterone, less muscle mass, higher estrogenic activity, and more emotional instability than any generation before them. This isn’t a mindset issue. It’s not political. It’s not random. It’s a measurable biological crisis driven by microplastics, endocrine disruptors, poor sleep, ultra-processed foods, sedentary living, and a culture hostile toward masculinity. In this episode, we break down: • Why men’s hormone levels are crashing • What researchers are discovering about microplastics and fertility • How sedentary living lowers testosterone • Why culture pushes for soft, passive men • The spiritual impact of weakened masculinity • How men can rebuild strength and reclaim identity • And why this matters for women, families, and society This episode is about truth, clarity, biology, and restoration. If you’re a man who feels tired, unmotivated, disconnected, or weak… this episode is for you.
