Chris and Athena play dumb while tackling movie theater etiquette, wade into Avatar: Fire & Ash, and try to figure out what goals to pursue if unexpected free time suddenly appears. Is rap dead? Did country take over? Is rock still a thing? Are there really people who can’t see anything in their heads? Somewhere between all this bullshit, the popcorn trough, and the blue aliens, they rummage through their brains for the blueprints to whatever this new version of the podcast is supposed to be.

Dean, unable to balance his love for Chris with his love for his family, has officially hung up his podcasting hat, revealing a hairline no one could envy. The man simply couldn’t have it all. But fear not! Athena has descended from the heavens to save Chris from himself and whatever this show has, or inevitably will become.

And, hey, Thanksgiving is just around the corner, which means it’s time for gratitude, guilt, and pretending you’re just f’n fine. This episode has all three. (Nice!) Plus a pinch of wisdom, a dash of regret, and several clumps of emotional stuffing that’ll either put a smile on your face or tears on your plate.

Athena brings heart, humor, and a reminder that women have been holding it all together since the dawn of time… while pretending they’re not sad about it. You’ll easily embrace her laughter, her playfulness, and her youthful spunk.

So pour yourself a drink and join Chris and Athena as they fire off a barrage of random questions... ones you can answer right along with them. It might actually make you feel better. Almost like a free therapy session, but with more laughter and, lets get real, fewer breakthroughs. What better way to fall apart than doing it with 'friends' you're just getting to know.
