Picture this: we're sipping on some festive drinks, including a small batch Rebel Kentucky straight bourbon and a unique Bloody Mary mix with an unexpected twist of pickle juices, all while adorned in our coziest Christmas sweaters. We take a trip down memory lane, laughing about our past encounters with Fireball and Goldschlager, and sharing our peculiar wardrobe choices inspired by Bailey Sarian, like a skeleton Santa sweater. But amidst the chuckles, we find ourselves diving into a darker narrative, inviting you to join us in exploring how these lighter moments contrast with some unsettling tales.

As the season of joy unfolds, we can't ignore the shadows lurking in holiday history. Our conversation wanders into the chilling world of Dexter, connecting the show to the real-life unsolved murder of Linda Raulerson in our own town. We also delve into the tumultuous life of Bruce Pardo, whose story serves as a stark reminder of the complexities of human behavior. From financial irresponsibility and shattered relationships to tragic family events, Bruce's life is a cautionary tale of what happens when anger and selfishness collide with the festive backdrop of the holiday season.

On a more hopeful note, we celebrate resilience and the power of music. The remarkable story of Katrina, a gun violence survivor turned advocate, inspires us to acknowledge and address mental health issues. Meanwhile, the Ortega family's strength amid tragedy showcases the human spirit's perseverance. We wrap up with an upbeat look at Red Calling, a band with unforgettable performances and international flair. Plus, we're indulging in some amusing bourbon chatter, thumbing through the "bourbon Bible" for that one elusive favorite. Join us as we toast to the holiday season with fascinating stories, spirited discussions, and a promise of more exciting features in episodes to come.
