Snoopy on Ice: Where Jazz Pajamas and Jesus Meet

Join us as we navigate the chaos of the holiday season, from unexpected calendar realizations to hectic moving timelines. In this episode, we dive into our somewhat lackluster holiday activities, including a spontaneous trip to the locally famous Gingerbread Lane and neighborhood light tours. We reminisce about our annual tradition of watching Snoopy on Ice at Knott's Berry Farm, discussing everything from the entertaining (yet sometimes underwhelming) ice skating performances to the classic Christmas narratives they've incorporated over the years. From hilarious memories of headbanging Woodstock puppets to unexpected moments of Jesus-themed grandeur, we share our fondest memories and critiques of this quirky holiday show. Tune in as we discuss past numbers we miss, like the seductive reindeer ladies, and our thoughts on possibly revisiting Snoopy on Ice next Christmas. Don't miss out on our laughter-filled holiday reflections, complete with sidebar conversations on bizarre holiday movies and themed pajamas!

The Grinchmas Chronicles: A Very Merry Phobia

Join us in this anxiety-fueled episode as we delve into Kristen's unconventional fear of the Grinch and our Grinchmas adventures at Universal Studios Hollywood. From early morning drinks to dodging Who interactions we navigate the festive chaos and share our thoughts on the best holiday food offerings, which is obviously the doughnut. As always we get sidetracked with things that have nothing to do with the topic like parade tangents, weird holiday traditions, and a possible friendship ending fight about the difference between a hot dog and a corn dog. Will we survive Grinchmas? Listen to find out.

Wicked: The Extended Cut of Musical Opinions

Join us as we unravel our experiences watching the Wicked movie adaptation. Get ready for a spicy debate on why we think Defying Gravity is the Beyoncé of Wicked songs and why Jeff Goldblum might have been better off staying in Jurassic Park. Did Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo leave us spellbound or disappointed? We tackle the steampunk aesthetic, dream about Antonio Banderas as the wizard, and ponder if we missed the actual plot somewhere between bathroom breaks. Whether you're a Wicked groupie or a confused moviegoer, dive into our unfiltered critique to decide if this adaptation should fly high or crash land. Spoiler: we might have read the books but don’t really remember the part where goats start a revolution. Buckle up for a wickedly funny ride!

Vintage Ventures: 55K Dresses, Dead Mee-maws, and Mug Mayhem

In this episode, we dive into the world of collections, from an astonishing personal collection of 55,000 vintage dresses to Kristen's own array of coffee mugs and Haunted Mansion memorabilia(And Alyssa's lack thereof). Join us as we discuss Kristen's favorite collections, the thrill of estate sales, and our polyester filled visit to the 55,000 Dresses sale. We explore the peculiar charm of vintage shopping, the impracticality of our finds, and how these collections bring joy (and a bit of clutter) into our lives.

The Proposal

In this inaugural episode, we candidly share our quirks, mutual love for bad TV, silly and Disneyland meet-cutes, all while brainstorming names for our dumbest idea yet—our podcast.
