In the U.S., Thanksgiving is a time to gather with family, stuff yourself with delicious sides,

and, according to this legend, protect yourself from an enormous 500-pound turkey.

This feathered monster terrorizes the hills of the American Northwest, wreaking havoc on hunters and their automobiles.

But is it really something to fear, or nothing more than gobbledygook? This week's episode is The Gobble Squatch.

A bump in the nights, your heart fills with dread, probably a murder of who wants you dead.

It could be a ghost, a demon or worse, perhaps you're the victim of a witch's curse.

It's hopeless, you're doomed, you'd call a priest if you could, You'd rather just listen to who.

Sinisterhood.

I'm going to kill you.

The legend is unleashed.

Oh, I'm so excited that the masses will hear about what Thanksgiving, well, I mean Thanksgiving, it's really about how we, by we, I mean, colonial English people just destroyed an entire nation and just really, you know, pillaged and raped the land.

But if you don't want to sit around and talk about that this Thanksgiving,

the gobble squash is a great alternative.

I think go tell your family, start off with like a summary of the people's history of the United States by Howardson.

Always a good one.

And then also throw in, hey guys, did you know about this 500-pound bird that's

almost as destructive as the pilgrims were? And I'll tell you what, I didn't know about it. You

didn't know about it until five years ago when we covered this as a minisone. Years ago. Wait, is this

during lockdown? Yeah, November 2020. I don't know if it was locked down, but we were still social distancing and having like...

Take a journey back in time to those days, see what we have to say about that.

I do remember, let's drop our Thanksgiving food off on each other's porches and celebrate via Zoom kind of stuff.

So this is a memory lane.
