Hello everyone and welcome to Talk Nurdy. Today is Monday November 26th, 2018 and I'm your host Kara Santa Maria. If you're living in the United States, I hope you had a happy

Thanksgiving. If you are from the United States and you are living abroad, I hope you had a happy

Thanksgiving. If you live in Canada, I hope you had a

happy Thanksgiving a couple weeks ago or maybe it was over a month ago now. I hope you

got a chance to eat some good food and be grateful for the things you're

grateful for and hang out with your family if you like your family and hang out with your friends if you don't like your family.

I had a good one and I am really excited to share this week's episode with you.

Ugh, it's so exciting.
