    Junkies Care: Inside Samaritan’s Purse - Relief, Recovery, And Hope Across Borders

    Send us a text A new year calls for grounded action, not just good intentions. This month for Junkies Care we’re shining a light on Samaritan’s Purse—an international relief nonprofit known for getting to crises fast and staying long enough to help families rebuild. From field hospitals after hurricanes to clean water systems in conflict zones, we walk through how readiness, logistics, and trusted partnerships turn compassion into real outcomes when days and hours matter. Our audience spans 18 countries, and this conversation reflects that global reach. Whether you’re drawn to disaster relief, child health, or veteran support, there’s a place for you to plug in—donating, volunteering, or rallying your group to host a shoebox drive. We share firsthand stories, practical steps, and links to resources so you can move from inspiration to impact today. If this resonates, share it with a friend, subscribe for more conversations like this, and leave a review to help others find the show. Ready to get involved?

    Flash Back Friday: Holiday Hangover And The Seven Fishes

    Send us a text It's Flashback Friday.  We flashback to Big Bertha and the 7 Fishes episode. The sparkle fades, the lights glare, and the house suddenly feels too quiet—so we leaned into the holiday afterglow and compared notes on what actually makes this season work. We kick off with the mood on December 26 and the great decoration debate: keep the glow through New Year’s or pack it up fast and reclaim the living room. From there we tumble into leg lamp pride, inflatable brainstorms, and the origin story of “Big Bertha,” the colossal tree that barely fit in a station wagon and exploded open in the living room like a scene from a classic holiday movie. Food traditions take center stage as we walk through a down‑to‑earth Feast of the Seven Fishes—shrimp, smelts, whitefish, sometimes squid—frying in shifts, sharing horror and humor in equal parts. If you’re craving relatable holiday stories, practical laughs, and permission to rewrite the rules, this one’s for you. Listen, share your own best and worst traditions, and help us build a smarter, lighter sled for next year. Subscribe, leave a review, and tell a friend who still smells like fryer oil.

    We Trace How A Jolly Legend Turns Dysfunctional When You Add Manipulation, Workplace Chaos, And A French Folklore Villain

    Send us a text Snow, lights, cookies… and questions we usually avoid. We pull back the tinsel to explore how the Santa story shapes trust, behavior, and values, and why so many of us remember the joy of belief but not the awkward in-between. The conversation gets real, candid, and funny as we test which parts of the myth build wonder—and which parts quietly train compliance. Things turn intriguingly dark when we uncover Père Fouettard, the French folklore figure paired with St. Nicholas to punish misbehavior. We won’t import the terror, but we do ask what it reveals about how cultures balance reward and fear—and how we can choose warmth over threats while still setting boundaries. By the end, we offer a kinder script: keep the magic, ditch the manipulation, and invite kids into the “helper” role as they grow. If this episode makes you laugh, squirm, or rethink your holiday script, that’s the point. Hit follow, share with a friend who loves a spicy Christmas take, and drop a review telling us how your family keeps the wonder without losing the truth. #dysfunctionjunkiespodcast #santaclause #perefouettard #fatherwhipper #merrychristmas #christmasdysfunction Support the show Thank you for listening.

    How A Perfect Tree Became A 48-Hour Disaster And A Bird Sanctuary

    Send us a text Did Kerry Suffer?  Well, the “perfect” Christmas took a nosedive—three times. We brought home a gorgeous live tree, filled the stand with sugared water, and watched the branches settle like a promise… until gravity introduced itself to our slanted old floors. What followed was equal parts comedy and gut-punch: sticky wood, late-night triage, and heirloom ornaments that didn’t survive the third fall. We walk through the mess with humor and honesty, then ask a bigger question: when the tradition breaks, do we double down or choose peace? Support the show Thank you for listening.
