Philosophy from the barn. Real talk about life, liberty, and the pursuit of common sense. Rita and I kick Ridge out of the barn for a cozy, just-us Thanksgiving episode. We trade stories of childhood Thanksgivings: the mountains of food we hated, the relatives we barely survived, and the exact moment our adult palates betrayed us and decided jellied cranberry sauce from a can is… actually amazing. We get into what makes Thanksgiving the best holiday nobody fights over: no gifts, no pressure, just food, football, and the rare day where showing up and passing the rolls is enough. It’s a laid-back love letter to a holiday that’s still about people instead of presents, plus a defense of the much-maligned cranberry cylinder (complete with the satisfying shlurp sound). Grab leftovers and settle in. This one’s warm, nostalgic, and 100 % gift-free. Rate 5 stars, subscribe, share with whoever always steals the crunchy edges of the stuffing.
