It's Novembery, so it's time to discuss.... seasonal decor again. Welcome to the annual discussion about how AWESTRUCK Bay and Laura can get about how Disney Parks decorate for the holidays! What's new in the animal kingdom (of our homes)? How many microphones does it take to capture Grimby's snore?

This episode is exactly what it sounds like, and you're welcome. There is a lot of appreciation, and a lot of conversation about dancing (and snacks).

What do you do when the "underbelly" of life reveals itself? How welcome are your tears, or those of others around you?

Who's all emotional as Velocicoaster Year comes to a close? PS. Who is King Mucus, after all?

Who is the most charming Trojan Horse you've ever seen in a movie? In this ontological shake-down of another Disney movie villain, Bay and Laura get altitude on villainy in Arendelle. Outside of "good" and "bad," what are the crystallized qualities of one prince of the Southern Isles. PS. Someone's survival mechanism comes from somewhere!

If you could spend all your time in one energy, which one would it be and why?! Bay and Laura explore autumnal transition and how it relates to leadership, sing songs about the giant leaves outside, and explore the energies of transitions and creative cycles. Wow, that sentence was long and vaguely academic. To round it out, here's some glorious nonsense: "Nitwit! Blubber! Oddment! Tweak!" -Dumbledore
