It was the merriest of Christmases for the Shankles and the Hudsons, so this week you'll hear us break down all the holiday festivities as well as chronicle our TV viewing (an area where Melanie and I both have excelled lately). Plus, there's an excerpt from our most recent Patreon episode with our most frequent podcast guest (by a country mile), our dear friend Travis Cottrell.

Melanie also talks about a movie she didn't really enjoy, I talk about a movie I adored, we discuss air fryer strategies at length, and it's my turn for Five Favorites. 

Hope you enjoy!
