Melissa and Amy dive deep into holidays past… and delight as Stuart throws himself out of the frying pan and lands nut-first into the firey hot, soup-making, song-singing blender. (To be fair, the nut butter was extraordinarily smooth.) Listen in as your favorite chat cast covers holiday gifts and visits, sickness and health, selling Yeezy’s, feeling sleazy, saving versus spending versus smoking versus what the hell were they smoking? Plus a handy list of sexy new shows for your streaming queue starring all the people who starred once in that thing you saw, you know, the one with the guy in it and that other girl, I think, from that show with all the jokes, and like a train? That’s the one.

It’s a New York New Year’s, Floridah Hannukah, ChristaMissy, quick look back plus a big leap forward kind of episode. We’re grateful to be back, dearest Observers, and eagerly refreshing our email inboxes in hopes of hearing from you soon. Until next week — byyyeeeeee!
