If you watch anything this Christmas break let it be this. Feast of the Seven Fishes on until Jan 15th.

Follows an American teen as he celebrates Christmas Eve with his Italian immigrant family in the 1983.

Just pretend they are Portuguese and I promise you the details in this movie (set, characters, dialogue) are all nostalgic as hell. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

In this episode, we discuss our love for movies involving time loops and body-switching. We recommend the Brazilian Portuguese film "Just Another Christmas" on Netflix, with similarities to "Groundhog Day." Then we share amusing anecdotes and nostalgic experiences while clearing out Mel's grandmother's apartment over the Thanksgiving Holiday.

Regardless of whether you believe she's guilty or innocent, Lizzie's gravesite still receives many visitors. Her site is usually adorned with several different items, such as flowers, coins, and rocks.

If you visit Lizzie's gravesite, it is important to remember to be respectful of the family and other visitors by not disturbing any of the items that have been left behind.

We explore the concept of centenarians and blue zones - regions known for their high occurrence of people reaching the age of 100. We discuss the Netflix documentary "Live to 100, Secrets of the Blue Zones" by Dan Buettner, highlighting the commonalities among the five blue zones featured: Okinawa, Japan; Sardinia, Italy; Loma Linda, California; Ikaria, Greece; and Nicoya, Costa Rica. We delve into their plant-based diets, reflect on the importance of whole foods, and discuss the significance of purpose and a supportive community environment for longevity. Link in bio 🔗⬆️

Let's talk about wine surplus, similar spills, potential new crops, and firefighter calendars.

Up first is the concept of personal hygiene in our parents' villages before they immigrated to the US. Next, we dissect a recent photo we received of gendered porta-potties from São Miguel Island in the Azores, Portugal. We wrongly speculate about a Terceira jewelry mystery and discuss the fate of Mel's mom's confiscated jam.

Stay Tuned-in: Tomorrow's episode details the Portuguese inventor of the lobotomy. Yikes!

In this episode, we discuss the concept of WWAD (What Would Azoreans Do?), our new mantra for mindful living. We explore the Netflix docu-series "Broken," exposing the dark side of consumer products like cosmetics - including the staggering volume of goods, counterfeiting, toxic ingredients, and the role of scarcity marketing. Kel recalls her own experiences in China, where she encountered people selling counterfeit items to tourists. Further exploring the beauty industry, we unveil the historical context behind the removal of body hair in the United States. Ultimately, we find corporate manipulation frustrating and assert our right to embrace our natural selves as our families historically had done in their remote villages.

The always-funny Connie Marques shares her recent trip to Portugal, including stops in Lisbon, Coimbra, Curia, Porto, and São Miguel. We hit her with a curious list of interview questions generated by AI which get her to talk about trying the popular dish francesinha, night-seagulls (cagarros), train chaos, funny language encounters, and a surprise transatlantic visit from her dad. We speak with fondness of our shared village roots and desire to be part of that community lifestyle. A truly touching and hilarious episode!
