Before the Turkey: A Pre-Thanksgiving Story Swap You Won't Forget

The countdown to Thanksgiving is on. You're planning menus, prepping guest rooms, and mentally preparing for family dynamics. But before the big day arrives, we invite you to join us for a different kind of preparation—one that involves laughter, vulnerability, and stories you've been dying to tell.

This Tuesday, November 25th, just two days before Thanksgiving, let's gather for something completely different from your typical holiday prep.

Introducing "Bottoms Up or Out": A Let Me Tell Ya! Story Swap Special Event

Tuesday, November 25th at 7:00 PM ETThe perfect pre-Thanksgiving warm-up

Let's talk about the room nobody discusses at dinner parties—but everyone has stories about.

You know the one. The gas station bathroom in the middle of nowhere. The porta-potty incident at the music festival. That time you walked into the wrong restroom. The door that wouldn't lock. The automatic flush with a mind of its own.

We've all been there. We've all had that moment of panic, confusion, or pure mortification. And you know what? Those stories are comedy gold.

What We're Looking For

This month, Let Me Tell Ya! is going where few story swaps dare to venture: funny bathroom stories. That's right—an entire evening dedicated to awkward encounters, embarrassing mishaps, and unforgettable moments in the loo.

We're looking for your most outrageous tales:

• Wrong bathroom mishaps

• Foreign facilities that baffled you

• Unexpected encounters with strangers

• Technology betrayals at the worst possible moment

• The time nature called with terrible timing

• Plumbing disasters and near-disasters

• Road trip rest stop adventures (we know you're traveling this week!)

• Any moment that made you think, "I can never speak of this again." Until now.

The Perfect Pre-Holiday Release

Let's be honest: the holidays can be stressful. You're worried about whether the turkey will be dry, if Uncle Bob will bring up politics, and whether you bought enough wine.

Before all that begins, join us for an evening of pure, unfiltered laughter. No judgment. No pretense. Just hilarious stories about our shared human experience in the most private (and sometimes not-so-private) of places.

Think you don't have a bathroom story? Think harder.

That executive restroom incident. Your first apartment's mysterious plumbing. The language barrier in Tokyo. The lock that failed you. Last year's Thanksgiving when the only bathroom was occupied during a crisis. The rest stop on your way to Grandma's house.

These are the stories that bond us, that remind us we're all beautifully, awkwardly human.

Start Your Holiday Week with Laughter

Before you're elbow-deep in pie dough and turkey prep, give yourself this gift: an hour of stories that will make you laugh so hard you'll forget about your to-do list.

Whether you're hosting, traveling, or staying home this year, you deserve a moment of levity before the holiday hustle truly begins. And if you're feeling stressed about family gatherings ahead, there's nothing like shared laughter to remind you that we're all in this messy, wonderful human experience together.

So dust off that memory you've been keeping in the vault. That story you tell at parties that always gets a laugh. That moment you swore you'd never speak of again.

It's time. Join us online Tuesday night, bring your sense of humor, and leave your shame at the door.

After this event, you'll head into Thanksgiving with a lighter heart, a fuller smile, and maybe even a few new stories to share (or keep to yourself—we won't judge).

See you there—just maybe not in the bathroom.

Let Me Tell Ya! Story Swap is a monthly event celebrating the art of storytelling in all its forms. From the profound to the hilarious, we believe every story deserves to be told. All ages welcome!
