We are throwing it back to Season 1 Episode 40: Why are summer family gatherings sometimes easier to handle than winter ones? As we discover in this raw and revealing episode, it might simply be because you can escape to the backyard when things get tense. But even with more exit strategies, Fourth of July celebrations can still produce lasting trauma.

We are throwing it back to Season 1 Episode 24, which was part 2 of our Funeral Episodes. Death may be universal, but funeral etiquette remains surprisingly complex territory—filled with unwritten rules and unexpected social landmines. We're diving deep into the politics of saying goodbye in this candid continuation of our funeral conversation.

This week we are throwing it back to Episode 29, which is part 1 of our two-part Funeral Chat.  Death has a way of bringing out the complicated, messy, and sometimes absurd qualities in families – and nowhere is this more evident than at funerals. Kerry and Chrisy take listeners on a journey through the peculiar social dynamics that emerge when we gather to say goodbye to loved ones.

Mismatched socks, “inside shoes,” and the moment a shirt becomes permanently cursed after a bad day. If your closet feels like a mental health diary, you’re not alone. We get it. Our clothing rules are unhinged and oddly comforting. Hit play and confess: what item can you never wear again?

People don’t have to be “bad” to be wildly disruptive, they just have to be unaware. We’re back on our favorite theme, overpeopling, and we’re tracing the exact moments when public etiquette breaks down and your patience goes with it. We then take the chaos to the pool and hot tub, where shoes piled at the steps become a genuine safety hazard and hot tub culture gets… intense. Listen now then tell us your biggest pet peeve?

Your birthday is supposed to feel like one day where you matter, so why does it sometimes feel like a test you’re destined to fail? On this Flashback Friday, we pull a thread that starts with Mother’s Day and Father’s Day timing and unravels into something bigger: the sting of being forgotten, the mess of family expectations, and the weird little rules we create to protect ourselves.

A packed shuttle in Zion National Park is not the place to turn your river-soaked hiking shoes into a personal rinse station, but that’s exactly what happens to us and it kicks off one of those stories you can’t believe until you see it. Simultaneously, Parents are discussing wills and guardianship on the bus… while this dude’s wet boots and bare feet are inches away. If you’ve ever felt trapped in a shared space with someone else’s zero self-awareness, you’ll feel this episode in your bones.

Cinco de Mayo is supposed to be light, loud, and fun, but sometimes a date picks up a second meaning that never goes away. We talk about why May 5 can feel like a party and a memorial at the same time, and how we’ve learned to make space for both. “Cinco De Mama” becomes our way of honoring loss without losing our sense of humor. Tune in and tell us what’s your ideal Mother’s Day or Cinco De Mayo meal?
