- Flashback Friday: Superstitions Unpacked
Send us Fan Mail
It's Flashback Friday, we are going back to Episode 12 Dysfunctional Superstitions and Idiosyncrasies. Ever follow a rule you can’t explain—like never putting a hat on the bed or refusing to go straight home after a funeral—and feel a jolt if someone breaks it? We revisit the strange superstitions and sticky family quirks that still tug at our choices, especially in spooky season, and trace how they became part of our daily scripts.

Send us Fan Mail
The Dysfunciton of Phobias and Fears is on the list this episode. If you can stand on a mountain ledge but freeze on a glass walkway, this one’s for you. We also scan a Halloween‑flavored list of phobias (arachnophobia, coulrophobia, nyctophobia, and more), laughing at the labels without dismissing the lived reality behind them. Under the humor sits a practical core: fear becomes dysfunctional when it narrows your life.

Send us Fan Mail
Fall shows up like a guest who brings both flowers and a suitcase of trouble, and we spend this episode unpacking the contradictions. On one hand, there’s the slow-fire beauty of leaves, warm days paired with crisp nights, and that comforting hush when the air thins out. On the other hand, we feel the quiet grief of summer ending, the looming dread of snow or its slushy cousins, and the way the calendar tips us toward holidays, expectations, and endless errands. Join as we dive into the dysfunction of Fall.

Kerry and Chrissy approach this topic from completely different perspectives: Kerry proudly sports six tattoos while Chrissy remains unmarked by choice. Their conversation reveals fascinating insights about why people permanently modify their bodies and what these choices might reflect about our inner worlds.

Send us Fan Mail
"There is no success without failure." Join us as we explore when to push through obstacles and when to recalculate your path. This week, Kerry opens her heart about postponing her ambitious New Year's resolution to run the Erie Marathon. What started as an exciting goal quickly became complicated by unexpected life challenges, most significantly the loss of her mother and a shoulder injury requiring surgery. Join us for this heartfelt discussion about giving yourself grace, reframing perceived failures as redirections, and finding the courage to say "I'll try again."

Send us Fan Mail
Remember those Saturday mornings when you'd wake up early, grab a bowl of sugary cereal, and lose yourself in cartoons for hours? What seemed like innocent childhood entertainment might actually explain some of our adult quirks and perspectives.
In this nostalgic yet eye-opening conversation, hosts Chrisy and Kerry dive into the surprisingly problematic world of classic cartoons that defined Generation X childhoods. From Bugs Bunny's cross-dressing antics to the deeply uncomfortable romantic pursuits of Pepe Le Pew, these beloved characters now raise serious questions about the messages they conveyed to impressionable young minds.#cartoons #dysfunctionjunkiespodcast #bugsbunny #smurfs #roadrunner #saturdaymorning
