Give It To Me Straight

There’s nothing better than relaxing into the holiday season…unless you’re around family, of course. In this week’s episode, Alex and Jon deal with holiday drama from petty in-laws to boyfriends that will never become husbands. It would be a holiday miracle if everyone got along during this season but you can’t make everyone happy. Once you accept that the holidays come with drama, you can actually relax into the experience because you can’t have joy without a little bit of sadness.Submit your questions here!⁠ 0:00 - Intro51:08 - Holiday Swap52: 17 - I’m Not Going To Thanksgiving54:45 - Your Boyfriend Isn’t Welcome56:38 - My Husband’s Family Isn’t Fun01:00:57 - Do I Need To Get Him A Gift?01:02:50 - My Sister’s Boyfriend Sucks01:08:39 - Angry In-Laws01:11:01 - Reading Your Secrets01:12:05 - Recs of the Week Soft Minky Blankets: Visit https://SoftMinkyBlankets.com and use code STRAIGHT at checkout for 50% off all full priced blankets.Clean Safe Products: Go to https://cleansafeproducts.com/STRAIGHT now to get $15 off the Green Mitt Kit.Neiman Marcus: If you’re looking for gifts that are guaranteed to surprise and delight, head to Neiman Marcus.Ritual: Listeners get early access to their Black Friday sale for 40%off your first month at https://Ritual.com/STRAIGHT.Hello Fresh: Go to https://HelloFresh.com/STRAIGHT10FM now to Get 10 Free Meals + a Free breakfast for Life!
