On this week’s How to Survive, Matt Belknap steps in to produce a very rollicking holiday episode with Danielle and Kristine. They cover insane dogs, the legendary Pardo–Koenig holiday fête, and Danielle receives a gift that truly keeps on giving… migraines.

From there, the conversation turns to how to survive that familiar feeling of being behind in life — when it seems like everyone else has their act together and you’re just improvising wildly. And speaking of preparedness (or the lack thereof), the delightful Jordan Morris joins the show to share the story of the time he went to Burning Man extremely unprepared.
