The shittiest moment of Thanksgiving weekend. What has become of Black Friday? Plus, a simple yet crucial Elf on the Shelf tip

Pointed advice for brand new parents. Don't use "you look tired" as a conversational piece (Carolyn f*cking hates it!) Plus, Elf On The Shelf emails!

Is Elf On The Shelf a magical extension of the fable of Santa Claus? Or a insidious cash grab that's undermined parents' ability to leverage Santa's mystique and...CREATED A LOT MORE WORK? You decide. Also, Disney+ and a bonus Christmas tip for parents.

The Youngs don't know how they feel about their daycare teacher using a popular phrase. Carolyn f*cking hates when you don't GET OUT OF HER WAY. Also, emails.

Erik regrets not commiserating with a fellow parent of little ones. Should the NFL fine for short shaming? Plus Carolyn is validated by more emails.

***Something funky happened when this track posted the first time and the link was not connecting people to this episode, but it was working via RSS feed. Either way, so people can have a working link *and* the RSS feed, we're posting it again...and leaving the first one up. If this is coming through to you via RSS feed for the second time tonight.... sorry bout that. We love ya. If its your first time hearing it, Enjoy! Description below***
