It was the merriest of Christmases for the Shankles and the Hudsons, so this week you'll hear us break down all the holiday festivities as well as chronicle our TV viewing (an area where Melanie and I both have excelled lately). Plus, there's an excerpt from our most recent Patreon episode with our most frequent podcast guest (by a country mile), our dear friend Travis Cottrell. Melanie also talks about a movie she didn't really enjoy, I talk about a movie I adored, we discuss air fryer strategies at length, and it's my turn for Five Favorites.  Hope you enjoy!   - Join Us on Patreon  - Our Amazon Shop Show Notes: - The Crown on Netflix - Wonka - Top Golf - The Color Purple - our full Patreon episode with Travis - Best in Show - Elise's boiled peanuts recipe - Helen in Birmingham - air fryer liners - Aldi chicken breast filets (sort of reminds us of CFA) (12 minutes in air fryer on 400, flip, 7 more minutes on 400) - Aldi brioche buns (we get the ones without sesame seeds) - Real Housewives Ultimate Girls' Trip RHONY Legacy - Victoria Beckham on Instagram - Kitchen Aid all-purpose shears - Free People colorful quilted vest - heated hand massager - Brother inkjet printer - prints of David Gate's poems - David Gate on Instagram Note: As Amazon and LTK affiliate members, we earn income from qualifying purchases.   Sponsors: - Fabric - use this link to apply today - AG1 - use this link for a year's supply of vitamin D and five free travel packs with your first purchase - Masterclass - use this link for a buy one, get one membership - Honeylove - use this link for 20% off - Storyworth - use this link for $10 off
