Thank U, Necks

Dan and Tori are nesting in a new home, where they made some feathered frenemies. Kirsten digs in at the community garden. Vaughan dons a red nose. Brendan feels rushed at a supper club.

Erin and Vaughan recently returned from a marvelous getaway to Mexico City and Oaxaca. From baked goods to mashed bugs, the food was an adventurous delight. And the mezcal flowed like wine.

Kirsten is at the helm for this episode of the podcast. She wants to know about the high school versions of her fellow Crooks and Nannies. The crew opens up about power trips, soccer goals, impromptu speeches, fates resisted, and firewood hauled. 

How did Crooks and Nannies form? When did Sarah befriend Kirsten? Who shared a cry during class scene work? The answers to these questions, and more, are answered on this episode. 

Sarah and Kirsten administer a Twilight quiz to Cullen lore novice Brendan. Erin, avowed to Team Bella, bears witness. 

Kirsten's car went missing, and her search brought her to places she'd never been. Brendan represented himself in traffic court. Dan's first car was a Crown Vic. Vaughan learned to drive a stick shift in record time. 

Obsessions come in many forms. For Elise, it was Michelle Kwan posters, cat traps, and laminates. Sarah spent countless hours directing and producing Sims music videos. Meanwhile, Erin was learning womanly lessons from an American Girl Doll. Kirsten remained laser-focused on providing a better life for her Webkinz.

A turkey beheading gone wrong forever haunts Vaughan's family. Sarah's Thanksgiving centers around green bean casserole, while Brendan sticks with turkey. Kirsten brings a homemade French silk pie to share with her friends. 

The first snow of the season has fallen! Brendan calls Erin and Vaughan on the telephone check on their coziness. Erin leads a discussion about fun snow day activities.

Elise and Kirsten join Brendan to recap Crooks and Nannies trip to Gloucester, Massachusetts for Sarah and Patrick's wedding. It was a glorious event. Tears were shed, chowder was consumed, and memories were made.
