XYZ | Macaulay’s Home Alone Sequel Pitch, Thanksgiving Hot Takes, and Facebook’s New “Nicknames” Feature

We’re kicking things off with our least favorite parts of Thanksgiving (yes, even the food has enemies). Macaulay Culkin says he has an idea for a Home Alone sequel. In tech news, Facebook is rolling out nicknames for group chats while Spotify prepares to raise prices in early 2026. We’ll dive into why "Jingle Bells" was technically written as a Thanksgiving song, THE TEST, and debunking myths we believed for way too long.Hosted by renowned television and radio personality Erik Zachary and his co-host Jordan Foster, XYZ with Erik Zachary is your escape from ordinary radio. There's conversation, music, and plenty of surprises - but make no mistake, this isn't your parents' radio show. (Although Erik’s mom drops by weekly with her own hot takes). XYZ’s mission: eliminate every reason you've ever reached for the aux cord.XYZ with Erik Zachary is nationally syndicated daily across the U.S. and available worldwide via Spotify, Apple Podcasts, iHeartRadio, and more.
