Happy holidays to all the Spiedie Freaks and Rattle Snake Petes out there! This is a special rerelease/regifting of our 2023 holiday episode where we experienced the delights of smashing open a peppermint pig. Enjoy, and we'll see you next week for a new episode in the new year! Oh and don't forget, this is one of the few episodes we filmed, so go WATCH us smash a weird little candy pig on ⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠.

If you've ever left a holiday celebration wanting to smash something, well then we have got the perfect Upstate tradition for you: peppermint pigs. Jim and Rob grab their tiny hammers and smash open this sweet swine from Saratoga to figure out why no one has ever seen hide nor hair of this holiday hog.

Throw us a rating and a review on Apple Podcasts! Include a suggestion in your review for something you'd like us to cover on Understanding Upstate and we just might cover it!
