| 0:00.0 | Hi, everybody. Welcome back to the Be There In 5 Podcast. I'm Kate Kennedy, your host. |
| 0:14.0 | There's nothing I love more than having a fan favorite come back on the pod. |
| 0:19.0 | And today we have some escapist content for you with Danny Pellegrino, host of everything iconic |
| 0:26.0 | and also to talk about his latest book that comes out Tuesday, if you're listening to this before then, |
| 0:32.0 | October 24th, The Jollyest Bunch. His collection of unhinged holiday stories, |
| 0:39.0 | spanning from October to December. So it's not just Christmas related. |
| 0:44.0 | It's not even about Christmas, religious sense. It's kind of the spirit of the holidays and related memories. |
| 0:52.0 | And I relate to him in that like so much of, there's something so memorable specifically about holidays |

| 1:48.0 | And when I was reading his book, he mentions the official tagline of now and then, which I like honestly forgot but is so poignant, |
| 1:55.0 | is inside, and I'm sorry, not inside everyone. |
| 2:01.0 | In every woman is the girl she left behind. |
| 2:06.0 | And if that's not the theme of Barbie America, if that's not the theme of my entire body of work, I mean, |
| 2:13.0 | I feel like even this episode I was thinking, man, inside every holiday season is the Christmas magic you left behind. |
| 2:22.0 | I've really had a hard time getting older as a person that just loves the fanfare, loves the Holly, Jolly, Mary and Bright, |
