Join us for a first ever “Fireside Edition” of The Victory Couch. Due to temperatures in the mid-Atlantic dipping to single digits, we decided to record downstairs by our fireplace (hence “fireside edition”) beginning the episode with “On the Tens.”

We know you may be loving our musical theatre parent content or you're sick of it--- either way it continues today. We share our favorite parts about being musical theatre parents now, and what we most miss about leaving the Junior Theater Festival. We also take a nostalgic dive into the world of arcades, and choose what would go in ours if we had one. Lastly we share which compliments are our favorite toreceive (The Victory Couch is hosted by Rick and Julie Rando).

We plan to be back next Thursday for your regularly scheduled fun, and insight here on The Victory Couch.

We discuss today about punishments from our childhood past and what we remember most. Also, we share what we'd replace if we lost everything, snow storm memories, and what advice we'd give to those struggling with new year's resolutions. Also we share a bit about our annual staff party for KMK (The Victory Couch is hosted by Rick and Julie Rando).
