    25: The Pumpkin in the Room (T&C Talk)
    Dec 14 2019
    In our final episode of 2019, we take a break from interviews to talk about our favorite (and busiest!) time of the year: The holidays! We get personal and chat about our holiday history, how we prepare (business-wise and personally), how we celebrate, and what we miss. Along the way, we admit a few shocking truths, from Tammy’s feelings on pumpkin pie to Christine’s childhood Halloween costume, and we wrap up with a holiday-themed Wrapid Fire and a heartfelt thank you to you, our listeners! Happy Holidays, Happy New Year, and see you in 2020! (Recorded in November just ahead of Thanksgiving.) Links and Show Notes Turkey Brine (https://spicehound.com/products/turkey-brine?_pos=1&_sid=7674f51cd&_ss=r)—"To make a moist, juicy turkey, you should use our turkey brine.
