On the night before Thanksgiving, I looked out my back door window and I saw two possums

sniffing around on the back porch. I guess they were hungry and looking for food. So I went

ahead and I got some cat food and I brought it outside and I

fed them. And I came inside and sat down and I came up with this story that I called the miracle of

the two possums. On the night before Thanksgiving, you'll be greeted by two hungry possums at your

doorstep. If you refuse to feed the possums, you'll be doomed to spend Thanksgiving listening to your

bad-breadth uncle rant about politics while watching the lions lose, and you'll also step in dog

shit once a day until the winter solstice has passed. But if you choose to feed the possums,

Sasquatch will ride a unicorn to your house and bestow upon you and your loved ones, but mostly

you, his great gift of

delicious pies. So when Thanksgiving comes around, if I find two possums on my door, I'm going to

choose to feed them, and I hope you will too.

Yeah. Hi, friends, this is Otis Gibbs, and you're listening to Thanks for Giving a Dam.

This is a bit of an experiment.

I like to say right up front that I haven't the slightest idea what I'm doing, but I decided to do it anyway. And this show was founded with the idea that there are only two people

in art that matter. There's the creative individual and the person experiencing it. And everything

else is an artificial filter. This is a way for me to share things with you guys without any

filters whatsoever. My guest this week is David Bazan. David is a way for me to share things with you guys without any filters whatsoever.
