We're celebrating our dad's 75th birthday today and dedicating this show to him! We're telling you funny and sentimental stories about old Donny T and sharing lessons we've learned from our dad throughout our lives. To know him is to love him and we sure do. He's one of a kind and we are insanely lucky he's our dad. We love you, Pops! Happy 75th!

We switched it up a bit for this one and decided we wanted to share some interesting tidbits for you to be armed with next time you hit a lull in conversation with friends or family. Lendsey tells us about the Cannonball Run (fascinating) and about who owns the world record for most holes of golf ever played in 24 hours. We also discuss interesting trends in music right now and the most expensive movie ever made.

We needed a good laugh. So that's exactly what we did and we hope this episode makes you laugh too. You'll enjoy this one's complete randomness as Lendsey's give us quite an in depth review of the Papadia (spoiler: you should try it... or wait should you?!). Then make sure to stay tuned for a hilarious rendition of what can happen when you're just trying to do a good deed for the family the day after Thanksgiving!

On this episode we have a case of the Mondays! We bounce around a bit but all with good intentions of telling you about people doing their parts to help fight this virus. We follow up on how the MLB is stepping up to the plate and how Myron Rolle is tackling this thing head on. Plus some corrections and clarifications.
