Step into the peppermint-scented madness of Factory 98, where corporate bureaucracy meets North Pole dystopia. In this holiday special of Some Topic, our two dangerously underqualified hosts discover what it means to “manage” a facility that manufactures joy—alongside moral decay, malfunctioning elves, and a disturbingly cheerful AI named Eve.

This episode spirals from darkly comic onboarding rituals to rules like “Safety never takes a snow day” and “Always smile while dying—it improves optics.” Between sarcastic briefings, existential HR policies, and candy-coated horror, Factory 98 reveals that the true spirit of Christmas might just be administrative incompetence wrapped in peppermint fog. Sit back, pour a suspiciously warm mug of cocoa, and enjoy the descent into festive absurdity.
