With respect and gratitude, we remember all who served. Thank you, veterans!
As we inch closer to the holidays, we're bringing you a special episode all about gratitude, reflections, and, of course, a bit of playful banter. In Episode 12: Full of Thanks, we’re celebrating the season by sharing what we’re thankful for professionally and personally. But before we dive into the warm and fuzzy stuff, we’re airing a few grievances in true Seinfeld fashion—think pet peeves like ranch on chicken wings (we’re looking at you, Nick).
Join us as we chat about our Thanksgiving favorites: from main courses to side dishes, and desserts we can’t resist. We’ll also share traditions that make this season meaningful. So grab your coffee, sit back, and sip with us as we share laughs, gratitude, and everything in between.
