They’ll keep you moderately entertained for a spell as you navigate the bad weather, inevitable delays, and clueless crowds at the airport.

Anyway, this week the guys are talking about traditional and all-out weird Thanksgiving menu items—including a stuffing made with White Castle burgers, of all things; the wacky and weird White House tradition of pardoning turkeys; Delta Airlines’ Shake Shack offering (for the special people only); a one-of-a-kind dog friendly cruise will sail in 2025; the unbelievable, but totally true number of satellites circling our crazy planet; Scott’s obsession with Bentley’s insanely priced electric sports car; people seem to be aging more slowly in the 21st century—just take a look at the ages of “The Golden Girls” during their TV run; and, much more pop culture tidbits you totally don’t need to know or worry about.
