We all survived Turkey Day! The Chiefs lost badly. What are we doing to calm our holiday anxieties? Shaylee's mom thinks Savage Garden is hard rock. Jen cooked for 12 people over the weekend and it turned out great. Truta got pantsed on the basketball court...by his own daughter! We ask for your crazy Thanksgiving stories! Some lady almost stabbed another with hoop earrings...over a computer! Chrissy Teigen and John Legend are having another baby. We invite Danny Z from Country Hill Motors in to unveil the Season of Giving. It's Danny's 10th year of giving away a mini-van filled with toys to a needy Kansas City family. This year the giving is even bigger! Nominate a family you feel might be worthy of either a mini-van, a new hot water heater for the house, or a year's worth of food, and they just might be picked. It's life changing! #TheShowKC

Last night's episode was all about Number 2...NO, not THAT (get your mind out of the gutter).
