Jen Redlights (host) 3:09:33 PM

Jen Redlights (host) 3:10:00 PM

Bbqd iguana
Jen Redlights (host) 3:14:03 PM
almost like turkey sandwiches
richard lyons:) 3:15:05 PM
Got the turkey soup made. Great start to the show!
Jen Redlights (host) 3:15:26 PM
mm soup! and hi! thanks!
Matty, Donor to the Stars 3:15:36 PM
Nice
Matty, Donor to the Stars 3:17:41 PM
Good soup
richard lyons:) 3:18:05 PM
Every time I make turkey soup I think of Jon's story about walking into your place while making turkey soup. 🤣
Jen Redlights (host) 3:18:09 PM
I did not make a turkey but am considering buying one now just for soup
Jen Redlights (host) 3:18:13 PM
oh hahahhahhahaha
Jen Redlights (host) 3:18:29 PM
poor Jon. I think I had 3 bird bodies going on that one.
richard lyons:) 3:18:53 PM
honestly, I'm enjoying the soup better than the turkey. HAHAHAHA
Jen Redlights (host) 3:19:17 PM
ALWAYS
Jen Redlights (host) 3:19:24 PM
also pro tip: turkey ramen
richard lyons:) 3:19:46 PM
yummmm
Matty, Donor to the Stars 3:20:28 PM
I had turkey roulade
Carlos Ramone. 3:20:32 PM
@richard…make a turkey and you need some people to come over and help eat…soup you can do all by yourself..no invites needed
Carlos Ramone. 3:22:19 PM
And if you have any lingering guests at the home the Butth9le Surfers will surely help them find the door
richard lyons:) 3:22:27 PM
oooo. Love turkey roulade
richard lyons:) 3:22:40 PM
Hahahha Carlos!
Jen Redlights (host) 3:22:50 PM
hahahahaha
Mike Tropiano 3:24:31 PM

Jen Redlights (host) 3:25:10 PM

Matty, Donor to the Stars 3:25:43 PM
Lol I'm not far from New Brunswick today
Mike Tropiano 3:25:48 PM
And it just gets better. You're the best! Thaanks!
Matty, Donor to the Stars 3:26:05 PM
Human cannonball!
Jen Redlights (host) 3:26:55 PM
WOOOOO!
Jen Redlights (host) 3:29:50 PM
hadn't heard the cannonball in too long
vildachaya1 3:31:11 PM
I made the error of putting some leftover sweet potatoes with toasted marshmallows on top in the microwave - Bye bye toasted marshmallows - hello white runny sweet slather
Jen Redlights (host) 3:31:32 PM
hahaha was it delicious or just lava hot?
vildachaya1 3:32:10 PM
Not as good as the crunchy merenguesque original
Jen Redlights (host) 3:32:44 PM
ohhhhh so that's the secret! I'll admit, I have never seen the magic of the sweet potato-marshmallow combo, but I can get with meringue!
vildachaya1 3:33:47 PM
Well the toasted marshmallows get a little crust on them and it is quite lovely - I also add some crushed pineapple which I thought was traditional but have been told it is only me doing that :)
Carlos Ramone. 3:34:06 PM
@jen..in my younger days cannonball meant a Bill Murray impersonation from Caddyshack
Jen Redlights (host) 3:34:09 PM
I like that you go wild on the classics!
Jen Redlights (host) 3:34:18 PM
@carlos of course!!
vildachaya1 3:34:19 PM
Seems there was no pineapple at the first Thanksigiving
Jen Redlights (host) 3:34:23 PM
HAHAHHA
Jen Redlights (host) 3:34:39 PM
pretty sure no gravy, either, but perhaps i'm just getting pedantic
Colin 3:35:59 PM
in the beginning, there was gravy, then god modeled itself after gravy and created the rest.
Jen Redlights (host) 3:36:38 PM
and rolls!
richard lyons:) 3:36:39 PM
gravy god
Jen Redlights (host) 3:38:24 PM
I love that we can talk about food and rock and not shopping
Colin 3:38:40 PM
before space and time it was all gravy rolls
Colin 3:39:02 PM
unless it's the band the blackout shoppers.
Colin 3:39:15 PM
then we talk all day shopping
Jen Redlights (host) 3:40:03 PM
I'm good with that!
Colin 3:42:25 PM
I also like that we add sault to this helping of thanksgiving leftovers!
Jen Redlights (host) 3:43:27 PM
here to help!
Jon Solomon 3:55:47 PM
Wow! It is Friday!
Andrew G/ 3:56:30 PM
happy friday!
Jen Redlights (host) 3:57:11 PM
happy friday! Frodus always brings out the wallflowers.
Jon Solomon 3:57:16 PM
Richard, I am so glad you remember that story. That Thanksgiving+ I spent with Jen was a lovely one.
Jon Solomon 3:58:00 PM
I have been cleaning / vacuuming the basement for hours, was watching the (terrible) football game happened to check the WPRB site and was shocked when I realized who was on!
Jen Redlights (host) 3:58:07 PM
One for the record books! And I love that someone else enjoyed the story as much as I do.🧡
Jon Solomon 3:58:37 PM
I ran into Chris from Monorchid a couple weeks ago. Seems like he is doing pretty well, but I doubt he'll be in another band anytime soon. Delighted if I am wrong.
Jen Redlights (host) 3:58:46 PM
@jon I'm glad you made it! and lovely you saw him!!
Jen Redlights (host) 3:58:57 PM
I wonder if that's why he was on my mind
Jen Redlights (host) 3:59:10 PM
Jen Redlights (host) 4:03:11 PM
another band that would have been well played on Thanksgiving Day
Colin 4:10:59 PM
i knew none of that as well. I always thought he was from allentown pa
Jen Redlights (host) 4:12:52 PM
fascinating!
Jen Redlights (host) 4:13:02 PM
why allentown??
Jon Solomon 4:13:27 PM
I saw Meat Wave a few years ago at a house show in East Windsor.
Jon Solomon 4:14:14 PM
I was the oldest person there by several fold. When I parked my car the person who showed me where to go explained how house shows work to me, that all the money would go to the touring band. It was very sweet. I bit my tongue.
Jen Redlights (host) 4:15:22 PM
hahah that is awesome and very sweet
Jen Redlights (host) 4:15:43 PM
their parents might have attended your living room
Jen Redlights (host) 4:15:51 PM
how was Meat Wave?
Jon Solomon 4:16:48 PM
They were great.
Jon Solomon 4:17:03 PM
Nobody asked me if I was a NARC. Also great!
Jen Redlights (host) 4:17:27 PM
you fit right in!
Jen Redlights (host) 4:17:44 PM
also pertinent: do kids still worry about narcs?
Jon Solomon 4:18:31 PM
I'll ask the one I'm about to take to the bookstore. Logging off to drive. Happy thankgiving, all!
Jen Redlights (host) 4:18:47 PM
cheers!
Colin 4:19:11 PM
happy Thanksgiving Jon!
Tim Weber 4:19:24 PM

richard lyons:) 4:19:26 PM
Happy thankgiving, Jon
Tim Weber 4:19:54 PM

Jen Redlights (host) 4:20:53 PM

Jen Redlights (host) 4:21:02 PM

Jen Redlights (host) 4:21:26 PM

Tim Weber 4:23:25 PM

Jen Redlights (host) 4:24:18 PM
AND DELICIOUS
Jen Redlights (host) 4:24:50 PM
i am starting to get hungry again
Tim Weber 4:25:21 PM
use this stuff called "better than bullion" from the grocery store, some cornstarch and water, heat it up, easy
Jen Redlights (host) 4:26:20 PM
saute some onions and mushrooms in there first, and you've got yourself a party!
richard lyons:) 4:28:12 PM
that better than bullion is good stuff!
Tim Weber 4:29:29 PM
acoustic guitars, I didn't know you had it in you
Jen Redlights (host) 4:30:15 PM
hahah i like all the things, and of course we need a breath here and there...
Jen Redlights (host) 4:31:01 PM

Tim Weber 4:31:38 PM
droney doomey
Jen Redlights (host) 4:32:15 PM
i think i'm a fan
Tim Weber 4:32:21 PM
just melodic enough though
Jen Redlights (host) 4:32:39 PM
indeed! pretty sure it deserves a more focused listen
Tim Weber 4:37:18 PM

Jen Redlights (host) 4:37:26 PM

Tim Weber 4:41:36 PM

Tim Weber 4:42:15 PM

Jen Redlights (host) 4:42:44 PM

Carlos Ramone. 4:44:17 PM
Thought we were in for a Blitz Bop cover
Jen Redlights (host) 4:44:37 PM
