Turkey week meets hot takes, and the menu is stacked. We kick things off with a stress-free game plan for the holiday: air fryer over chaos, crockpot over ego, and a tactical dash for fresh rolls. From ham loyalty to dark meat supremacy, we keep it real about what actually works when life adds curveballs like knee surgery and a two-person guest list. There’s a heart under the humor, too—why we’d rather buy a meal for someone asking for cash, and how five bucks can still stretch far when someone’s hungry.

Then the conversation shifts to the big screen. Our Wicked Part Two debate is lively and split: stunning cinematography, standout costumes, and a finale that sings, set against a slow middle and canon choices that won’t please every Oz purist. Not showing Dorothy’s face? Smart. Anchoring the story to Elphaba and Glinda? Even smarter. We roll that energy into The Running Man, where a grounded, compelling setup gives way to a rushed finish, and into a new Predator entry that sparks a real clash—does reframing the Predator as more sympathetic betray the lore or expand it? We still agree on inventive kills, clever PG-13 workarounds, and a planet that feels dangerous without going cartoonish.

We close on football, fantasy, and the art of not losing your mind. Coaching decisions that defy logic, offensive lines that vanish, and fantasy trades that deserve a hard veto. Draft positions, quarterback fits, and the eternal lesson for contenders: balance the run and the pass. It’s the intersection of comfort food, fandom, and a little chaos—the stuff that makes a long weekend worth remembering.

If you laughed, argued with us in your head, or picked a side on ham vs turkey, hit follow, share this with a friend, and drop your hottest sequel or sports take in a review. We’ll read the best ones on a future show.
