This week, CHOCOLATE goes with everything. No time for sleep because the sugar high will keep us up for days!

And the AWARD for 'Best Podcast That Ever Was' goes to the very drunk crew at Table 6 from DEAR POD: The Comedy Advice Podcast. Could someone please wake up that drunk red-headed woman and tell her to come get her prize?

Do you have to do that right next to m?. You know. That constant breathing in and out? Sorry. That was a bit harsh but I am CRABBY and IRRITABLE today and I have no patience for anything. Now, where is my cocktail??? It should already be here!!! Why are you making me wait??? Just leave the drink and get out!!!

They tell us that we should celebrate. They make our lapels look fancier. And, they have always looked weird wrapped on a girl's wrist at a school dance. That's right. The Greenhouse is open and we are talking about FLOWERS. Find your favorite vase and grab your pruning shears for this week's bouquet of entertainment.

I'm just going to put my cold hand here. Now cough. You can trust me. I'm A DOCTOR. That's right. This week we are opening up wide and saying, "Ahhhhhh". By the time this episode is over we will have checked you for rickets, polio and shoved our hands up places only we professionals can get away with. Thank you for coming. You've been such a good patient, please enjoy this Specialty Cocktail. It tastes like a lollipop.

Welcome to a New Year! I can't think of a better way to get the ball rolling then to start off this new chapter with a GRAB BAG, That's right. The possibilities are endless and anything can happen this year. We're stocking up the Maha'a Tiki Bar for the season, we bought a giant jar of "Tums" for Patty and Erin is still annoyed. It's gonna be a great 2023!

Stop looking at me that way. It's so loud. My head is about to split in half because I drank my weight in tequila on New Year's Eve and now I have a massive HANGOVER. Stayed tuned for the best "Hair Of The Dog" as Erin & Patty fill you with hot coffee and more booze this New Year's episode.

It's that time of the year when you are looking for the perfect TOYS. for the not so perfect children. Let's face it, we forgive them for all of their short comings every Christmas and double down on the fact that they have to deal with your insanity when you're in your eighties. That's family. MERRY CHRISTMAS, EVERYBODY!

Look, I'm still in line at the COSTCO trying to prep for the Christmas Party at The Pineapple Ranch. So, I'm just gonna leave this GRAB BAG here for you to take home. Feel free to wrap it up, put it under your tree and give it to someone who needs to get introduced to DEAR POD. Oh crap. The woman in front of me has coupons! I'm never getting out of here.
