Family Dynamics: A Side of Cray on Turkey Day

If you’re listening to this episode on the day it comes out, Thanksgiving is only two days away. While you’ve likely been preparing food for the big meal, it’s also important to prepare yourself mentally: what you’re thinking, what you should actually say, and how you can find a balance between the two at the dinner table. Our hosts also reveal their dream Thanksgiving guests, explain why babysitters deserve more than minimum wage, and discuss when you should forget the five-second rule.
