Chris' Parents Episode 3: Fashion

image

The third entry in the mini-series documenting Chris’s quirky parents. In this episode, Dr. Tanner, intrepid enthnographer, and Chris, subject matter expert, focus on fashion and find out that Chris’ parents: love the basics, demand on “clomping” shoes before they’re brought in the house, always opt for simplicity, harbor jealousies about each other, believe that being in the military is the only way to be a “real man,” feel out-classed at certain high-end malls, and mandate haircuts for their children. We also discuss 90s fashion and candy, school uniforms, and choosing haircuts of a poster on barber’s wall.

Chris's Parents Episode 2: Food

image

The second entry in the mini-series documenting Chris’s quirky parents. This episode focuses on food. Once again Dr. Tanner takes on the role of half anthropologist, half psychologist, and all schadenfredue-ist as he digs deep through Chris’s memories and first-hand observations of two of the whitest and most mundanely interesting people to have ever lived. We learn that Red Lobster biscuits are too spicy, water requires wedges of lemons in a “good-sized bowl,” you can eat salad without dressing and pizza without sauce, you’ve gotta call and place your Panera bread order, and that humans only need three different types of casseroles to survive.

Chris's Parents Episode 1: Ritual

As far as Tanner is concerned, there are few people as entertaining, perplexing, and fascinating as Chris’s parents – two of the most stubborn, habitual, bonded, and isolated people in the country. They’re like a time capsule of conservative, midwestern, white baby boomer culture. So what’s the next best thing to talking to them? Asking Chris to tell him every little detail of their lives and his experiences growing up with them.

This is the first episode in a new mini-series – cleverly titled “Chris’s Parents” – where Dr. Tanner embarks on his groundbreaking ethnography with Chris serving as embedded reporter. Each episode will be themed and this episode’s theme is ritual. And get ready – there’s a few big revelations about Chris’s life that are equally shocking, saddening, and hilarious.
