Belly up to the buffet. It's THANKSGIVING! Wait. Scratch that. We're still in a pandemic. We won't be seeing any buffets for a while. But we will see people at the dinner table who we wish weren't there, desserts that no can recognize, and that one aunt who keeps hoarding all of the leftovers. It's your family. Like them or not, you're stuck with them all day. So, let us bow our heads, drink our wine and thank the good Lord that DEAR POD will get us through this holiday season!

Can't live with 'em. Can't live without' em. That's right. I'm talking about your NEIGHBORS. How long are they going to keep their empty trash can at the end of their driveway? Will that man always drink his morning coffee while walking around his property in his underwear? Why does she keep staring at me whenever I cut the lawn? Today...we answer none of these questions.

Today's episode comes directly from the fifty yard line on the gridiron we proudly call The Maha'a Tiki Lounge Memorial Stadium. We are talking FOOTBALL! With Erin and Patty as your two Quaterbacks, they're not so much talking about it as being confused by it. Let's go huddle up and see if we can 'Hail Mary' this week's episode between the uprights or whatever you're supposed to with your Tight End.

It's here. The night of horror, candy, poor choices in costumes and most of all...TERROR. It's All Hallows Eve Week and the Maha'a Tiki Lounge is eerily decorated and ready with a bowl of year old, expired candy that we couldn't give out last year during the pandemic. But this is a new, brighter, and more optimistic Halloween. You want to terrify us? Ring our doorbell and say, "Trick or treat! I'm an Anti Vaxer!"

The answer is: Samantha, Elphaba, Hermione, Sarah Jessica Parker and Hazel. Yes. DEAR POD. You rang in first. Famous WITCHES, Alex? That's right. We start celebrating the season with a deep dive on the ladies who made warts and chin-hair fashionable. That stuff is still in style? Right? Get out your cauldrons, cause we're mixing you up a potion of pod that's gonna leave a mark.

What's that? You missed the last three episodes of DEAR POD? You somehow forgot that this is how you begin each day with an earful of jackassery and laughter? You are very lucky that my heart is full of FORGIVENESS or we would be having words. Now, please forgive me as I pour myself a specialty cocktail and fill my ears with Erin and Patrick yelling at each other.

GUEST ALERT! So, I'm standing behind the bar at the Maha'a Tiki lounge working out some new recipes. Let's see what we get if we combine equal parts grit, brains, sass, determination, talent, vision, drive, motherhood and humor. OK. Let's add ice. Shake. Now, let us pour the phenomenal LEEANN KREISCHER into the studio at The Pineapple Ranch. Straight up or on the rocks, you're gonna love this gal!

CREMATION. There. I said it. No turning back now. It's out there and now we're talking about it. So, would you like to be sprinkled over the lawns of your favorite park or tossed all over the country club that wouldn't accept you as a member? Lots to think about as we tackle this hot topic. Sorry. I shouldn't have said that. That's just rude. Enjoy!

Whether it's your wallet or a glance, we are going to be STEALING something from you today! Maybe it's twenty dollars from your mother's purse, or those 800 count sheets from the Quality Comfort Hotel. It doesn't matter. We're breaking the law today and we're getting something for free. Now if I can nonchalantly walk out of this Home Depot with this air conditioner under my shirt...

Hey, you guys. That was so much fun last night but I really have to go. That's right. You were just the victim of a DEAR POD, ONE NIGHT STAND. Today you will learn basic things like, don't have a fling with a current patient at your hospital. Or, don't have a fling with a new co-worker a week after you started the new job. I'm no genius but shouldn't you already know these things???

Let's see. Mask, Purell, Clorox Wipes, Windex, Lysol and Books. Yup. I have everything I need in my backpack to go BACK TO SCHOOL. We'll begin this semester by wiping out our parents bank accounts because our on-campus bar tabs aren't going to pay themselves. Then we will threaten them by dropping out because we miss them too much and can't be away from home. Isn't education fun?

Who's luckier than you?

Ya know, in this day and age, it is nearly impossible to make an OBSCENE PHONE CALL. What happened to the good old days when you can walk into a phone booth, slide the door closed, pick a random name from the phone book, put in a dime, dial a bunch of numbers on a rotary phone, squat down in the booth so no one can see what you're doing...Oh, God...this is too much work. I'm going home to dial up and connect to AOL and see if anyone will send me dirty pictures. Like a normal person!

OK. Take your right arm. Shake it out. Let's relax those fingers. We don't want anyone pulling muscles. Now, reach into that GRAB BAG and see if you pull out some cold, hard cash to pay your plastic surgeon with. Or, maybe you'll find the guidebook to raw and cooked sex. Only one way to find out. Deep breath. Now, reach on in.

Get ready to dig, prune and seed. Because, this week we're visiting the GARDEN. In that pot is the rare Dear Abby letter where a man sings to his tomatoes.

Including this week with DEAR POD!
