Tuesday, March 7, 2023 • Duration 01:38:34

We'd love to hear from you! Reach out to us via this link to let us know what you're thinking!

If you want to follow along with Chrisha's social media reveals, scroll down to find all the links!

In this episode, Chrisha and Catherine do a whole lot of screeching about:

Dean
Dean's birthday
Dean talking about having an open heart
That freaking amazing Dean reveal at the end of the episode
Dean F***ing Winchester

They also look at Mary's strength in the face of pushy men, John's supportiveness and (sigh) incredibly romantic lines, Lata's continued ability to figure out all of the things, Carlos' amazing journey of rejecting the game, glitter explosions, and singing, and they try to nail down the history of Loki and Gabriel (which apparently even Jensen Ackles needs help with!).

If you want to experience the social media journey of the celebration of Dean's birthday right along with Catherine, here are the links:
