Pumpkin Spice, John Candy, and Thanksgiving Memories
“I like me. My wife likes me.” — the line that gets us every time.
Kevin and Jamie settle in for a lighthearted, nostalgic, and unexpectedly emotional conversation filled with holiday traditions, rising prices, childhood memories, and the magic of John Candy. From the $6 latte debate to the glory of Wawa coffee, they wander through favorite movies, family stories, and the simple moments that make Thanksgiving so special.
They talk about classic films, the chaos of traveling during the holidays, the comfort of old traditions, and the funny, messy, very real details of growing up in two different homes. Along the way, they weave in stories of grandparents, childhood Thanksgivings, and why certain memories — even the embarrassing ones — stay with us forever.
What you’ll learn in this episode:
→ Why nostalgia is one of the strongest memory triggers
→ How family rituals shape identity and connection
→ Why humor helps us navigate the changing seasons of life
It’s a warm, funny, and familiar episode perfect for holiday listening — full of stories, gratitude, and the comfort that comes from revisiting the past.
