"I grew up with three brothers. Several canon events in the '90s shaped our dynamic to this day. There was a certain game of Risk. There was the day mom relinquished her Hi8 video camera to us with no strings attached. A bike accident here, a rock thrown down the stairs there. I'll never forget (nor forgive) the "snowball fight" with algae at the river. While we were careening through these incidents, most of the time we were unaware that we were making history."
"Today's story is all about a moment like that. We're off to a cabin in the woods for a cozy holiday with the whole family, and Mom's famous sweet potato pie is the cherry on top of what should have been a bland, benign memory. Fortunately for all us gossips, there's a traitor in their midst. Rachelle's guest this week is Tracy Clayton, back on the show for the first time since Season 2!"
The narrator recounts growing up with three brothers and several defining 1990s incidents, including a game of Risk, a Hi8 camera given without strings, a bike accident, rocks thrown down stairs, and an algae "snowball fight" at the river. Childhood mischief produced moments that felt like before-and-after turning points when the siblings became conscious of their power to shape events. A family trip to a cabin for a cozy holiday is upended when Mom's famous sweet potato pie becomes the focal point of gossip and a traitor emerges. Tracy Clayton appears as a returning guest; she is a host, comedienne, and writer known for multiple podcasts including BuzzFeed's Another Round, and she recounts encounters with André NoThousands before joining a cabin whodunnit.
