Alan will talk about what it's like dealing with his crazy neighbor Betty for over 20 years while trying to record a single podcast episode. He still has to share a bedroom with his brother Aiden.

What's it like to live in an apartment complex on the second floor with a crazy elderly neighbor below?
Alan is forced into an unexpected trip to Big Bear Lake to celebrate his birthday with his friends Bob and Jeremiah. Throughout the weekend at the cabin, he faces a lot of challenges. Bob gets stung by a bee on his backside, and Jeremiah panics upon seeing a bear in the parking lot of the general store. What happens when you let Jeremiah lose in the woods during the middle of the night?

This week, I will be talking about the worst birthday gifts ever. What does it mean to receive crappy gifts? Also, what's better, a gift or ending up empty-handed? My list of pretty dumb and embracing things I got for my 18th birthday. I received probably the worst birthday gifts from Lenny, Kevin, and Leslie. My birthday gifts sucked.

Friendsgiving is about spending time with friends, not parents. Alan's friend Benny visited him from New York City for Thanksgiving.
