Thanksgiving may be a time for gratitude and gravy, but the team behind "GlowJob," the culture-first beauty and wellness podcast, knows it's also a minefield of side eyes, unsolicited opinions, and one too many "back in my day" monologues. So instead of bracing for chaos, "GlowJob" built a smarter plan, "The GlowJob Guide to Surviving Thanksgiving," a witty, no-stress cheat sheet designed to change the subject, defuse tension, and turn dinner drama into pop-culture gold. And now, The Blast has the exclusive scoop on how "GlowJob" is turning family feuds into feel-good fun this Thanksgiving.
The 'GlowJob' Way To Win Dinner

When it comes to surviving Thanksgiving dinner, the "GlowJob" hosts know the real battle isn't in the kitchen, it's at the table.
"Thanksgiving can be… a contact sport," the hosts joked in an exclusive interview with The Blast. "Everyone's trying to connect with relatives who may not exactly be in touch. But here's the thing: beauty and pop culture are universal languages. Everyone has skin, and everyone cares how they present themselves. Even saying you don't care is a form of caring."
The "GlowJob Guide" flips the script on holiday small talk. When Dad declares, "Cancel culture is out of control," the hosts recommend a ready-to-use one-liner, "Totally! Like when Gen Z canceled skinny jeans. Devastating."
From there, guests can "set the bait early" with low-stakes, high-entertainment questions like "What's the most unhinged trend you've seen this year?" or "Real talk, best celebrity glow-up of 2025?"
And the best part? Every topic is rooted in something "GlowJob" already does best, dissecting beauty headlines, wellness micro-trends, and viral celebrity moments with humor, heart, and zero politics. "Whether you're reading The New York Times or scrolling TikTok, pop culture is the one common denominator," the hosts explained. "You can debate Kardashians instead of Kennedys and make it out of dinner alive."

When asked who starts the chaos at their own family gatherings, the "GlowJob" team didn't hesitate, saying, "Honestly? Nobody in our families causes chaos, so statistically speaking, it's probably us."
Their philosophy? Roast with love, not malice. "The sh-t sandwich approach works every time," they laughed. "Compliment, critique, compliment. That's how you stay funny and likable without crossing into cringe or controversy."
And in true "GlowJob" fashion, they've got their own "Celebrity Glow-Up of 2025" to crown. The unanimous winner? Kris Jenner. "She's 70 and just keeps getting shinier, savvier, and richer. Runner-up TBD, the fiscal year's not over yet."

The guide also encourages listeners to "swap policy for pop" and debate beauty trends instead of ballots. It's fun, harmless, and according to "GlowJob," surprisingly bonding. "The TikTok Morning Shed Routine was peak chaos," one host admitted. "We thought we'd seen it all, slugging, face taping, DIY masks, and then came the shed. Humanity is in its reptile era."
Beyond the jokes, "GlowJob" also gives listeners one stat worth memorizing before dinner. "Beauty is a $677 billion industry this year. It might look vapid from the outside, but money talks," they told The Blast. "Connect the cultural to the economic, and you instantly sound hotter and smarter."

Even with its snark and sparkle, "The GlowJob Guide to Surviving Thanksgiving" ends on one final note: connection, not contention. When asked how they personally unwind, the hosts keep it simple.
"Touch grass. Literally. Go outside, breathe, and remember that none of it, the turkey, the traffic, the group chat, actually matters that much," they advised.
And if someone at the table decides to take a dig at your job in the influencer world? "GlowJob" has you covered. "There's a chance their 30-second video earned more than your monthly salary," they added. "But also, not all influencers are created equal. The good ones build businesses, not just followings."
