Holiday Chaos, New Year’s Plans & Big Mercedes News for 2026 | GREG T. LiVE Ep. 46
Greg T Live – Episode 46
Filmed at Ray Catena Mercedes-Benz in Edison, New Jersey, Episode 46 wraps up the holidays and looks ahead to the new year — with plenty of laughs, family stories, and big automotive news.
Greg T and Garrett Vogel reflect on how the holidays change as kids get older. Greg shares how daughters Jade and Ella (18 & 16) now sleep in on Christmas morning, a far cry from the early-morning gift rush of years past. Greg also talks about celebrating both Christmas and Hanukkah, blending traditions from his Catholic mom and Jewish stepfather.
Garrett recaps hosting 29 people on Christmas Eve, including his wife Ally cooking the Feast of the Seven Fishes and baking nearly 1,000 cookies beforehand — which Greg admits is borderline heroic.
The conversation shifts to New Year’s Eve plans, including:
🎆 Garrett heading to the Poconos
🚗 Greg waiting to see what his daughters need for rides (and refusing to let them drive)
🎙️ A hilarious attempt by Greg to record a New Year’s PSA about not drinking and driving — which takes 17 tries before Garrett finally nails it himself
Later in the episode, Doug Wells, General Manager of Ray Catena Mercedes-Benz, joins to share major automotive updates:
🚘 Mercedes-Benz keeping V8s and AMGs alive
⚡ Every model offering electric, gas, and hybrid options
🔋 New 800-volt EV batteries charging 0–90% in just 10 minutes
