As we share our grooming tips and anxiously anticipate listener feedback, we reflect on the evolution from audio-only days and the changing landscape of podcasts.

Of course, no celebration is complete without pizza talk! We fondly remember mix-ups with our beloved Greg and Craig, and laugh about Sammy J's boyfriend mistakenly being called Jason instead of James. We shout out to loyal listeners like Sammy J and Uncle Dan, while passionately debating our favorite local pizza spots like Sally's, Pepe's, and Modern.

With T-Bot and Casey joining me, we kick things off with a hilariously unpredictable take on frying a turkey for Thanksgiving, inspired by "The Dan Band's" knack for spinning everyday events into songs. But the laughter doesn't last forever as we pivot to a much heavier topic—the alarming rise of swatting incidents in schools.
