Dan Ruccia (host) 12:09:58 PM
Also, any of you watching the world cup? That Germany/Japan game this morning was a thing of beauty
Rofflestomp 12:10:10 PM
It's a long way to the taters and gravy from the kids table time again. Happy almost Thanksgiving all!
Dan Ruccia (host) 12:10:23 PM
So much fowl
Rofflestomp 12:13:22 PM
The other football is still weird to me, but many people gobble it up.
Lee Chandler 12:15:15 PM
Takes practice & skill. They can't just wing it.
Jon Solomon 12:18:55 PM
I have the World Cup on presently (and at most other times too).
Jon Solomon 12:19:10 PM
I've passed on the 5 am ET games though.
Dan Ruccia (host) 12:20:53 PM
Yeah, 5am is too much. Though I did turn on the second half of the Argentina/Saudi Arabia game later. A wild half!
Rofflestomp 12:21:16 PM
I'm am surprized they still allow the use of clocks in Qatar.

Dan Ruccia (host) 12:23:41 PM
There are National covers of Bobs Burgers Thanksgiving songs???
Jon Solomon 12:25:22 PM
I am sorry to report that despite the cries of the chat for it to happen, The Feelies performed exactly zero Killdozer covers this past weekend.

I wonder if anyone has actually made The Ex's sweet potato pie?
Brian D 12:27:27 PM
Melk, ekks, nutmek
Rob M 12:28:15 PM
The National did Gravy Boat and Kill the Turkey. I'm also seeing now they also did Give it to Teddy, Christmas Magic, and Bad Things Happen in the Bathroom
Brian D 12:28:20 PM
You too can globalize the pie 3.14159 times! Today! On Fibonacci day!
Dan Ruccia (host) 12:29:08 PM
Will have to track that down, Rob. And Jon, you know what you need to do
Rofflestomp 12:29:44 PM
I like pot pies, but it's a ruse to get you to eat experimental food. No pot in it.
Lee Chandler 12:30:08 PM
I only went to hear their Killdozer covers.I was very disappointed.
Brian D 12:37:54 PM
Started watching the docu on the automat. Mass pie making skills wow.. those Horn & Hardart folks really cranked them out

"...and Lead Us Not Into Tempeh-tion" made me laugh.

Fairly unplanned, actually. Didn't realize I'd done that until just now

"Turkey" was the buzz word insult for a while there in the late 1970s early 1980s. A nice fun safe insult. Some were proud to be so called. One kid in our school had last name Terry. So everyone called him First Name Turkey. He loved it and even had a t shirt w big capital letters TURKEY! on it. Saw that shirt on another kid later that year and it just didn't look right
Dan Ruccia (host) 2:59:24 PM
