This week we catch up with Average Joe in part 2 of our Average Joe Doesn’t ave Christmas. Melissa did some serious binge watching this week and had some fun sexy time dreams.  Whitney is haunted by the Entertainment Tonight theme song and reminisces about pre-internet days of finding celebrities who had the same birthday as you. Amazing business ideas for new apps (Cuddle Bug is coming soon) and a Great British Baking Show Bed and Breakfast are hatched. 

We talk about early career days, what we’d tell our 18 and 22 year old selves and the shared experiences of feeling lost during the college years.  We also go down a rabbit hole about The Devil Wears Prada. It resonates years later for so many reasons and, spoiler alert, we are so team Miranda now.

On this episode we talk about being smack dab in the middle of holiday madness, Melissa handles it by only buying presents for dogs and Whitney doesn't shop at all. Melissa turned 35 and celebrated with margaritas and massages and Whitney does a little self care with yoga and bus rides home (they fill her soul even if they smell like urine). 

We watched A Christmas Prince The Royal Baby this week. It’s full of Scooby Doo style mystery, sweet royal couple moments, ancient curses, doctors being saved on horse back and of course babies. We have some geography thoughts, some questions about how castles are searched and Whitney have some minor suggestions for depictions of labor.
