Imagine sweeping through green fields, floating 5 feet above ground, sun on your face as you slide by on track to your destination.

Not a car in the world, as you simply lean back. And before you know it, you're there.

This is how travel should feel, and on our trains, it does.

Avanti West Coast, feel good travel.

Hello and welcome to Everything Iconic with me, Danny Pellegrino.

I have a very special bonus episode for you all today.

As many of you know, I'm currently on the road.

I'm celebrating the release of my new book, The Jolly Is Bunch, Unhinged Holiday Stories.

The Real Housewives and Bravo recaps will be back very soon in early November.

But for now, I want to play a little excerpt from the audiobook of The Jolly Is Bunch.

This is a chapter about a Christmas Eve gone awry, Linda Pellegrino and Gary Pellegrino, my two parents.

I did get a chance to talk to him about this chapter when I was in Cleveland.

So I'm going to play a very short interview with Gary and Linda Pellegrino.

Then I'm going to play the entire chapter from the audiobook of The Jolly Is Bunch.

I really hope you pick up this book, whether you get an audiobook form on Audible or wherever you listen to audiobooks,

or if you get the hardcover at your favorite local independent bookstore,

or you can get it from Amazon Target, wherever you get your books.

Again, it's The Jolly Is Bunch, Unhinged Holiday Stories.

It's out now. I put my heart and soul into this.

And I really wanted it to feel like the movie National Ampune's Christmas Vacation in a book.

If you come to this podcast and you like the family detours that I take while I'm recapping The Real Housewives,

I really think that you'll love this book.
