MaryElin joins the show with Laura to discuss the 2023 Word Of The Year and the most popular slang.   Plus, LET IT BE KNOWN:  Laura has an announcement!  And Todd and MaryElin can't believe the love of their favorite snack isn't shared by everyone.  Plus so much more that you don't want to miss.

Listen to find out what the most broken bone is! And, hear about some of the ways our listener friends have broken bones. We also covered "post-vacation syndrome," protecting yourself this shopping season with masked credit cards, how long you can eat Thanksgiving leftovers (tip: it's DONE, unless your froze them), Tim's Christmas tree-cutting hack, and watch out for real Christmas tree allergens. 

Listen to the podcast for the info you might have missed like Black Friday shopping memories (including Laura shoving an old lady), sports guy Todd Bergeth doing turkey calls, "can your stomach explode from eating too much?" Thanksgiving chore spreadsheets and more! Happy Thanksgiving! - Tim & Laura

Find out on this podcast what Thanksgiving-related things people are searching around the country. Also, neither one of us has had shoofly pie, but after looking it up, we think we'd like to try it! We each had some realistic dreams: Tim's lost Roomba location (it's not where he dreamed it was) and Laura's cat was not abducted (as she dreamed it). There was also talk of National TV Day and "what would you do?" scenarios that started in White Bear Lake and ended in Olivia! Click to listen and we'd be so "thankful" if you shared it and/or subscribed!

Yep, Tim's Roomba is nowhere to be found. Some listeners offered thoughts on where THEY found theirs...some, after months! It's not all bad luck at his house because his wife won a turkey playing turkey bingo! We learned that the Jennie-O turkeys arrived in Washington, D.C. for pardoning, Laura plays judge and jury on a lottery winning case, and don't miss the blues-singing cat named Bruce!

"Those" are some of the items being locked by stores to prevent theft. Today's topics you won't want to miss include an app that can tell if you've been drinking by recording you doing tongue twisters, a world record for a teacher, feral pigs are encroaching on Minnesota, plus Christmas lights and Christmas trees (one of us hasn't taken HER tree down in years).

The quick highlights from today's show: the average number of concerts people attend in a year, the Timberwolves brawl, grow habitat for bees and butterflies and get $500, Clean out the Fridge Day, "How do you say Zydeco, Laura?", the wait for Britney's audio book, a woman with two uteruses is pregnant in both, a plane had to turn back to JFK because a _____ got loose, and Swedish Surströmming (gag).

On the podcast today: While discussing the foods most people like but our listeners hate, we learned so much about the chemicals in cucumbers! Tim keeps taunting Laura with clips of Christmas songs. Today, make sure you hear a segment of what is being called the worst Christmas song ever! We also covered 1930s slang words we'd like to see come back, McCrocs, and a few interesting origins of big corporations' names. 

Yep, "tarantula" has to be our winner on the "strange foods people have eaten" topic. A lot of good listener participation on this one! We also talked about the 1984 movie "NeverEnding Story" on this, the birthday of the lead kid Noah Hathaway. Being World Kindness day, Tim offered to send Laura and her husband (still living states apart) to Disneyland for their Christmas events, plus side hustles like Posh Mark, Mercari, and adult babysitting. Click to catch what you missed this morning! - Tim & Laura

Yep, "Thanksgiving," a horror movie opens November 17 starring our new sexiest man alive. We asked, "How long do you have to be off social media to call it an official "break?"" Plus chats about not attacking an MMA fighter, what onions and Chicago have in common, are Shein/Wish/Temu legit?, and Laura's credit card has a handy feature: masking. Enjoy today's podcast of the "us" part of today's show!
