there's a better way to do this let me show you a better way

hi folks and welcome to the thanksgiving day special of the survival podcast this show is based on an original broadcast that was done

from my car. Everything you're about to hear was done from memory and a couple note cards

while doing about 65 to 75 miles an hour down the highway weaving in and out of traffic

one day before Thanksgiving back on November 26, 2008.

Over the years, many of the people in the forums took different episodes of the podcast

and put them into transcripts, and this was one of the first one that was ever put into a transcript,

and so I'll be reading from that transcript in just a moment.

A couple of years ago, I did this.

And when I did it, I did it because the original one from the car had been remastered

and remastered, and it had just lost its audio quality.

And it was always subpar audio quality to begin with because it was something from such

early days of the show.

Again, all the way back 2008.

So I decided to go ahead and redo it this time around.

And if you're listening to this, it could be 2018 or it could be 2028.

My hope with this episode is that I'm so happy when I'm done with it this time around,

that it just becomes the one I can rerun every year without touch.

I just change the episode number on it.

I do try to really relax for our holidays.

The family holidays for me have always been a big thing, and I'll tell you what it goes back to.

When I was coming up in the goes back to when I was coming
