This week we collect stories about "Family". We talk about making it out of the holidays alive. We hear the history of a large family that gets along better than PB & J. We hear two brothers from Berlin who can't agree on what story to tell. We hear the tale of a young boy who was bullied into pre-cognitively burning Darth Vader before Return of the Jedi was even released.

It's our last show of 2014 and we hope you folks all have a damn good break.
