Weirdly shaped chicken tenders, lots of TJ time, and an absolutely unwatchable Adam Sandler movie NOTES: the sound quality is not great again. I’m not sure why but we’ll keep working on it. It’s a marathon not a sprint. Also, without thinking, I used the word “Indian” a couple times during the ridiculous six segment and I know that’s not the term indigenous people prefer, so I’m sorry for that. It won’t happen again. - Chuck

Fast forward through the first 6 minutes of this, for the love of god. Don’t say we didn’t warn you. Also I’m not sure exactly why, but the audio of this one isn’t as good as usual. Sorry about that, we will fix it for next time. Happy Thanksgiving. Thanks so much for listening.
