Grandma Got Run Over By A Casserole: Awkward Christmas Stories

Holidays bring family, food, and a whole lot of awkwardness. Bree and Mendy share one of the most hilariously bizarre listener-submitted stories this week. Our listener, Melody, finds that  Christmas morning takes an unexpected turn when Grandma doesn’t show up to the festivities, leaving the family to juggle big feelings, a breakfast casserole, and Uncle Steve’s Hell’s Angels hangover.

From diaper rash cream miscommunications to Bree’s “glasses invisibility” dilemma, the hosts dive headfirst into the beauty of embracing life’s absurd moments. Plus, they reflect on the intersection of grief, awkwardness, and humanity in this touching yet utterly ridiculous holiday tale.
