I SHAKE MY HEAD

Fruitcake: The Holiday Brick We Can't Seem To Kill


Listen Later

Is fruitcake the culinary equivalent of emotional baggage heavier than your regrets and as dense as a gluten-free cake gone wrong?  Did your boomer relatives force-feed you candied fake fruit squares and call it “Christmas joy”. Is it time to let Christmas cakes retire for good? Are you feeling the tipping fatigue when restaurant receipts now suggest 22% as the minimum? Did you spend your childhood loving the 80s salad bar, complete with baby corn, jello cubes, and all-you-can-eat beets, or does the thought of a communal bowl make you queasy? Are you a dawdler, a saunterer, or just someone who needs a designated slow-walking friend at work? Have you ever judged someone for eating a burger at 8 AM, or snapped secret photos to share the evidence of breakfast rule-breaking? Lisa is wondering how Kevin Jonas went from odd duck to heartthrob? Are you living in fear of pillow purgatory, cold remedies, and the existential threat of a drippy nostril at work? Can a bodysuit trend truly replace the humble T-shirt, or is it just a snap-happy torture chamber for the tipsy and the forgetful? Does the idea of hot eggnog, mulled wine, or just a simple tin of Belgian cookies bring you comfort, or are you fuming at QR-coded chocolate box maps and the ever-rising price of Christmas treats? 

Join Lisa and Samantha for a hilarious deep dive into vintage desserts, midlife gripes, friendship spats, and the everyday quirks that make life just a little bit more shake-your-head worthy!
