It’s our Thanksgiving Special, and Katy and Justin are diving headfirst into the holiday that’s equal parts gratitude and emotional landmines. From navigating political potholes at the dinner table to deciding when alcohol becomes “a little festive” versus “a full-blown family intervention,” we break down the etiquette, the angst, and the absolute absurdity of Turkey Day.
Katy shares her road-trip plans to Asheville, Justin confesses his family’s annual Las Vegas escape, and together they unpack everything the morning shows don’t tell you: how to set boundaries, when to exit a conversation gracefully, why hostess gifts matter, and how curiosity (and maybe a pre-game cocktail) can save your sanity.
We also dig into viewer emails—yes, including updates on nude gardening neighbors, the saga of designer dog deposits gone wrong, and the eternal debate over the “boob shelf.” And because it’s Thanksgiving, we wrap with what we’re truly grateful for… plus a surprisingly heartfelt reflection that proves we can be sincere right after saying the word “pubes.”
Whether you’re hosting, hiding, or heading out of town to avoid the drama altogether, this episode has something for everyone bracing for the holiday table.
