We save a whole year’s worth of gratitude for one crowded table and a plate we can barely lift. But real appreciation shouldn’t only show up with stuffing and go quiet once the leftovers are gone. In this episode, we talk about why gratitude feels so forced in November, what it looks like when it’s real, and how to notice people before the holiday pressure kicks in.

Of course, we still get into the important things. Like Thanksgiving dishes, family traditions, and our unofficial Thanksgiving Survival Guide. No perfect speeches. No corny lessons. Just real conversation, a little food chaos, and the reminder to be thankful on more days than the one with turkey.

The clocks fell back — but somehow, we’re still falling behind.
In this episode, Jax and Sean unravel the mess of modern time: why we overschedule, ignore the signs, and keep convincing ourselves “next week will be better.”
They talk through the weight of burnout, the guilt of slowing down, and how easy it is to lose your rhythm when everything feels urgent.
You’ll laugh. You’ll sigh. You’ll probably check your calendar.
Because maybe it’s not about cramming more in —
maybe it’s about finally giving yourself permission to stop.

Some families bond over game nights.
Ours? We scared strangers in the dark.

This episode unpacks how a haunted house in Loveland, Colorado turned into a family tradition — one that lasted years, crossed state lines, and stitched itself into the story of who we are.

But it’s not just about jump scares and chainsaws.
It’s about the moments that sneak up on you.
The way chaos turns into connection.
And how the smallest family rituals — even the weird ones — become the glue that holds us together.

So whether you're a parent, a kid, or someone haunted by your own memories — this one's for you.

👻 Real stories. Real laughs.
And a whole lot of fake blood.
