Shhhh... keep your voice down! This week we're talking about Secret Santa, and the last thing we need is someone blabbing about it all over town. You know that thing where you buy a co-worker or friend a gift anonymously for some reason? Yeah, that's the topic this week, but keep it under your hat.

We also solve a problem for an enterprising young man who sent a theme song along with his email. That part of the show isn't a secret, so tell whoever you want.

Thanksgiving is right around the corner, so this week we are discussing the 99th Annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. We dive into the history of the event, from the years when they let live tigers from the zoo roam the streets to the time Popeye dumped hundreds of gallons of water on the crowd.

Ripped from the headlines, just two weeks after it ended, we're discussing Daylight Saving Time. Nobody's quite sure why we do it, people seem to hate it and it kinda messes things up for a few days, but only Richard Nixon was brave enough to do something about it and look what happened to him.
