We're sitting down for an in-depth conversation with John Taylor, the winemaker and distiller from Chankaska wines!  We're talking holiday wine pairings, nationwide trends and a little history too!  Pour a glass, pull up a chair and join us for this holiday special!

Jess meal prepped lunches on Sunday night and she asked George if he wanted her to make some for him.  He thought this was her way of telling him that he needs to 'go on a diet'.  Is it ever ok to tell your significant other they are gaining weight?  George and Jess weigh in (no pun intended).  

Also, do you have clothes in your closet from 5 or 10 years ago that no longer fit?  Let this be your permission to get rid of them.  We'll talk about the emotions that come with clothing and how to start to get past those tough feelings and clean out your closet for good.

Kicking off Halloween week with an episode about things that go bump in the night.  Our 4 year old is starting to be scared of noises at night.  Jess admits that at 37 years old she's still afraid of the dark.  And basements.  And spiders....

Also, we'll tell you about our Halloween costumes and George talks about how he hasn't dressed up for Halloween in a VERY long time.

The Mid-30's crisis is the new Mid-life crisis.  A new study suggests that Americans feel the most stress at 36.  We're talking about our ideas to combat that stress and the idea of solo vacations came up.  We'll talk about pros and cons and see if it's right for you and your partner.

Facebook is expected to announce a company rebrand with focus on a the metaverse.  Which is a term that refers to a virtual space where you can operate virtual and augmented reality avatars.  The announcement and possibly more details are expected next week.  George and Jess discuss what they think this new {virtual} reality could mean for people and how they feel about it.  

Hot Gos(sip): Taylor Swift fans think a collab with The Jonas Brothers could be coming... 

People are leaving their jobs at record rates and there are a ton of jobs open that no one is applying for.  What is going on?  George and Jess are talking about people's changing focus to doing jobs they love and creating income opportunities out of things they're passionate about.  They'll each share what they would do it they quit their jobs and are asking you the question: What would you do if you quit your job?

Hot Gos(sip): Sarah Levy is married!  Tic Tok is picking sides in the John Mulaney divorce (and it's not his) and The Queen has to give up her nightly martini.

Jess recently asked George about getting Botox and he said 'I didn't even notice it last time you did it'.  This has them discussing society's standards for women when it comes to makeup, skin care, and more.  How long would men last if they were held to the same standards?

Hot Gos(sip):  Kourtney K and Travis Barker are engaged!  And Ryan Renolds is taking a break from acting...

What is it about cleaning out a closet that feels so good?  Is this just life in your late 30s?  Jess tackled the coat closet that's been taunting her for months.  George has a long list of projects he wants to do before winter too.

Also, would you skip a wedding for a football game?

Hot Gos(sip): Adele and Taylor Swift are making Sad Girl Autumn a thing.

We're venting this morning.  We got an email that our son was directly exposed at school A WEEK AGO. The email said he is not required to quarantine but it's strongly recommended for 10 OR 14 days.  I cannot with how vague this is.  Have you experienced this at your kids' school??

Hot Gos(sip):  Kacey Musgraves has been deemed ineligible in the country category at the Grammy's.  She's not having it.  And Betty White turns 100 in January, fans want her protected at all costs.  (We'll end on a positive note - and that is the ONLY positive we're hoping for today). 

Building off of yesterday's episode of feeling stressed at home, do you feel like you're burned out at work?  90% of people have felt burned out in the last year and a half.  Could caring less actually help?  We're talking about Sara Knight's book 'The Life Changing Magic of not Giving a #$%^' and how focusing on only what you're expected to do (and not everyone else's responsibilities) could actually help you be more productive and happier.

Also, are under-eye circles trendy?!

Hot Gos(sip): Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox talk about the moment they met and it...is interesting.
