If you’re not tired of Mel and Shana talking about their trips to Florida, then you are in luck! This episode is all about their latest trip to Destin to visit Mel’s Mom and Step-dad. Join them as they talk about their near-death experiences on the highway driving in the ice and snow on their way down, finding a hidden gem of a coffee shop, and how they praise the good news of having midlife crisis tires on their “Poop Coupe”. They also touch on subjects such as sex showers, charcuterie boards, bourbon, rural highways, succubae, and how dolphins are just weird 6-year-olds just looking for acceptance from humans. Oh, and they talk about food…a lot… If you like what you hear and have stories to tell us or just want to make a suggestion for our next episode, email us at: SideshowThePodcast@gmail.com Visit our Facebook page at: https://www.facebook.com/Sideshow-with-Mel-Shana-229240811837127/ Follow us on Instagram at: https://www.instagram.com/sideshow_mel_shana/?hl=en Follow us on Twitter at: https://twitter.com/sideshow_with And become a Patreon donor for access to exclusive content not available on any other platform!

It’s that time of year again where our hosts go to Florida…again. Why Florida? Again? Because it’s close enough to drive to from Missouri, that’s why! But also to get away from the hellacious bitter cold, eat some fresh seafood, but most of all…listen to podcasts on the 12 hour drive down to Destin! Not only are they talking about their impending trip, but Shana discusses an embarrassing moment (and possible new endevor) and Mel talks about the true meaning of Christmas! They also talk about their last trip to Destin and why you don’t just go “carb crazy” when you’ve been Keto for months and many other surprises!

Our hosts had to take a quick Covid break due to...well...having Covid! Welcome to 2021, I guess? So far our hosts are not impressed. Have you ever had Covid? NO? Well, Let Mel and Shana tell you about how their recovery is going. They talk about the shows they’ve binged, how losing their senses of taste and smell is THE LITERAL WORST, and how “Covid Brain” is a real thing. So sorry about Sammi…she’s going sitr-crazy and is acting out.

Happy New Year!!! Sorry this episode is so late but our hosts have been crazy busy with life and work. Join Mel and Shana as they talk about at least 10 things that made this dumpster fire of a past year slightly tolerable. From being home more to getting drunk at work, this year hasn’t been too terrible, considering the pandemic and a whole slew of other horrific things that have happened. And feel free to fast forward past the last 10 minutes of the sappiest love story of ever…unless you enjoy the taste of vomit. It’s your mouth.

It’s finally here!! Christmas is upon us and do Mel and Shana have a treat for you! Join them as they talk about making Quarantinis, awaiting their Covid test results, and oh the things they find in their son’s bedroom. Join them as they tell you about what goes in a Gin-cline Sunrise and where they would rather be than spending this Christmas in Missouri. This has surely been a dumpster fire of a year so why not tally up the negatives and positives of the year? They tell you about the worst gifts they (and others) have gotten and how much they would love to be in Colorado or Florida right now if there wasn’t a pandemic happening right now.

Grab some hot chocolate and maybe some whiskey, because you’re in for an exciting ride on the Christmas Murder Train Express as Mel and Shana take a shallow dive into the wonderful world of horrible tragedies that have happened on or around Christmas. What drives a man to kill his neighbor on Christmas? Was it over money or an 1894 power tool? And who remembers the old tradition of bragging about your sexual prowess on Christmas to your buddies? Anyone? No? Or how about a Christmas Slay Ride? What is the one thing that Mel daydreams about while Shana is telling her stories? Just where exactly IS the worst place to hide a body on Christmas? (I’ll give you a hint, it rhymes with Smishmas Knee) All of these questions are answered and much much more in this episode!

Are you ready for Creepy Christmas? Christmas hasn’t always been this holly and jolly. What’s the deal with that stupid Elf on the effing shelf? WHY do we have designated Christmas clothes? Why did we ever start putting old stinky socks up on our mantles in hopes that we’d get a PlayStation 5 shoved inside of it sometime next year? We answer all of these pressing questions AND MORE!! Like, where does the most racist Christmas tradition take place? (You’ll literally never guess) What does Christmas and the Oregon Trail have in common?? Is there a cute little kitty called the Yule Cat that throws up the world’s largest hairball? What’s exactly inside that hairball? So many questions answered and yet even more you might ask.

OMG Thanksgiving is FINALLY over…But what’s next? Christmas? Yule? The END of 2020? In this episode Mel & Shana recap Thanksgiving with the family, which may or may not include playing Cards Against Humanity, Black Friday shopping, and maybe some art? Mel goes on and on about how much she hates the cold weather and then somehow becomes a pirate. They answer very pressing questions like does Will Smith really need to eat that bad? How much is too much Christmas Décor? What is 17F in Celsius? Just how far is the generational gap between Shana and Mel anyway?

Happy Hallowthanksmas! This episode we talk about how that is an actual thing and how we have all unknowingly fallen victim to its capitalistic ways. But really, what else are we supposed to do during a pandemic but buy stuff and put up our Christmas décor the second Halloween is over? We also have some $5.00 words (OK just one) and lament about having cat hair everywhere. Just bear with us, this is a short episode. We promise there will be more to come shortly… If you like what you hear and have stories to tell us or just want to make a suggestion for our next episode, email us at: SideshowThePodcast@gmail.com Visit our Facebook page at: https://www.facebook.com/Sideshow-with-Mel-Shana-229240811837127/ Follow us on Instagram at: https://www.instagram.com/sideshow_mel_shana/?hl=en Follow us on Twitter at: https://twitter.com/sideshow_with And become a Patreon donor for access to exclusive content not available on any other platform!
