632: The NOs of Gifts Nov 05, 2025

Show notes

In this episode, we invite our listeners to share their Nos of Gifts. We’re unpacking everything from the well-intentioned grandparent misses, to passy-aggressy gifts that were really just confrontations in disguise, plus enough underwear to make us question what gift guides the Boomers are reading. And because it’s Jamie’s birthday, she’s celebrating by unleashing her rapid-fire Red Lights of her 40s with equal parts wisdom and chaos.
