Join us on a musical adventure as we explore the soundtracks of our lives thus far: from our childhoods through angsty teen years, falling in love with our spouses, and becoming parents.

Just for Friends of the Show, there was one song on both of our discographies that was so impactful we need to do a deep dive with you, and maybe sing along together too. Of course we are talking about Gangsta's Paradise by Coolio. Elder Millennials, you know what we're talking about.

Like a bowl of chocolate-covered nuts on a festive spread, we hope this episode will be a tasty holiday treat! We share tips for handling the seasonal chaos, and then we dive into the real nuts, from peanuts to cashews and the queen of nuts herself. Along the way we unapologetically share our very strong opinions and find ourselves debating the merits of being "naked and salty." Cheers!

For Friends of the Show on Patreon, we're sharing our opinions on the polarizing cousin of the nut: the raisin!
