    Send us Fan Mail

    The Holidays are coming.  Remember the thrill of picking out Halloween costumes as a kid? Picture this: a pirate costume complete with a homemade peg leg that turned trick-or-treating into an unexpected comedy routine. If you love the nostalgia of Halloween and the chaos of family holidays, you'll want to join us for some laugh-out-loud nostalgia. Chrisy and Kerry take you on a journey through Halloween memories, from the iconic Ben Cooper costumes and department store selections to the sheer joy of watching Halloween specials like "The Great Pumpkin" and the lesser-known "The Halloween That Almost Wasn't."
    The laughs come easy as the duo reminisce about the early days of Halloween decor and the quirky transformations they undergo. Whether you're a fan of the towering skeletons or prefer a more traditional touch, this episode captures the evolution of how we celebrate the spooky season.

    Shifting gears to Thanksgiving, Chrisy and Kerry dish out the hilarity and dysfunction of family gatherings. Imagine ditching the chaos for a peaceful Tennessee getaway or simply opting for a buffet-style feast to keep things chill. With humorous insights into family drinking habits, from Mogen David wine to Carlo Rossi's famous jugs, we explore the unspoken norms that make Thanksgiving both a challenge and a joy. Join us for a fun-filled conversation that blends personal stories with relatable humor, offering a fresh perspective on navigating the holiday season's quirks and traditions.
