Chimp Czuchry (Go ahead, try to say it)

Remember that time you found yourself in a hospital room, chuckling at the unexpected comedy of life? Neither do we but we have this episode that takes a whimsical look back at some of our most laughable and touching hospital antics, featuring the unforgettable Helen (and her ukulele playing son) and Anne’s heartwarming recollection of her time in Sarasota, with the enduring phrase, “Hope, put a light on.” It’s a tapestry of laughter and hope, intertwined with our shared affection for Chimp Crazy and the insanity contained therein.

Our surprisingly sun-soaked adventures take us next to a bustling October beach, where high tide brought in a raft of quirky characters. Amid the waves and sun, we wander down memory lane to Cape Cod’s beloved Kreme and Kone, tracing its transformation and the delicious legacy to the Original Seafood Company, which is obviously, in our opinion, much better (with less shrieking). Plus: rediscover the joy of shared platters of fried seafood and the charm of local ice cream, wrapped up with our musings on the art of gifting and the excitement of Hanukkah (Don’t forget).

As the conversation shifts, we explore the captivating realm of Anne’s obsession with medical dramas. From Grey’s Anatomy’s long-running saga to The Resident’s compelling character arcs—particularly Matt Czuchry’s memorable role—we dissect their impact and evolution. The episode wraps with a playful debate on the urban spirit of places like Silver Lake, Los Angeles, and the unique essence of neighborhoods (Go Staten Island). Nostalgia and music lyrics weave through our stories, inviting you to smile, reflect, and perhaps even hum along.
