Cody and Chris extend their holiday cheer in this episode. To get you into the spirit of the season, they stray from their normal goofiness and get a little more personal. They discuss Godwinks- those coincidences in life that are a little too perfect – that have personally affected them. In doing so, they explain why two episodes were recorded over Skype. You’ll want to bring a hanky for this one. There is no BS Weekly this week. Instead, Cody gives Chris a gift and they play a game to lighten the mood. Today’s drinks of choice are: Ava Grace Red Blend and Uncaged Red Blend.
