Original Episode Description

Mashed potatoes, pumpkin pie, and… zero gratitude? Mom didn’t spend a week prepping this feast for you to forget your manners!

In this special Thanksgiving episode, Trevin kicks things off by sharing his cozy "Winter 69" dilemma—because it feels better when it’s going down. Meanwhile, Amanda gets hilariously personal, recounting a post-partum lactation struggle that every mom can relate to (and laugh at). Do we smell a Pumping-Girl sequel?

In Thanksgiving Trivia, Trevin dishes up a historical throwback to when a president pardoned more than just turkeys, while Amanda challenges everyone with the ultimate cranberry question: just how many berries make up a single can?

For Story Time, Trevin dives into the record-setting antics of Henry Earl, a man who finds a chosen family in the unlikeliest places, all while breaking the law. Amanda follows with the chaotic tale of Elizabeth Macias, a determined mom on a Black Friday mission to snag Xbox games and survive her kids’ antics. Both stories come together to remind us of one thing: being a mom on the holidays is no small feat, especially when kids are downright thankless.

Tune in for heartwarming laughs, jaw-dropping petty crimes, and a little holiday chaos as we celebrate the most "Thankless Giving" of all.
