Are traditions the same thing as routines, they're just done less frequently? And if the tradition is both loved and hated, what does that mean? On today's Keepin It Real, Cam shares that he both loves and hates them. ----- I have a routine that I practice nearly every day. I both look forward to it and hate it. I wake up shortly after 5am. I have clothes laid out on a chair next to the bed and I dress and go into the kitchen and start the coffee. I fold laundry while it brews. I then pour myself a cup and sit in my morning chair and write in my journal for about thirty minutes. I then review my calendar for the day, make a to-do list, boil an egg for breakfast, shower, dress, and head into the office. It's the same thing every weekday. I love my routine. It's helpful. It grounds me. It's something I can control. It's a predictable thing in this unpredictable world. It's reliable and I like that. At the very same time, I also hate my routine. It drains the life from me. It's oppressive. It holds me back. It severely restricts me. It's tyranny. How can something that I love so much, that I count on to be there every day, also crush my soul? It makes no sense, but that's what it does. This, of course, leads me to the upcoming Thanksgiving holidays. Routines and traditions are not the same thing, but they can have the same impact. For years my extended family has gathered at my father's cabin in the woods of Clark County on Thanksgiving Day. I can't be there on Thanksgiving Day without thinking of my mother. She's been gone for three years or so and yet the place still reflects my mother's presence. And Thanksgiving Day was the pinnacle of her presence each year there. She'd set the table in a way I can still remember. She'd send her grandkids into the woods to find leaves that had changed colors for the fall – they're not easy to find in south Alabama. The leaves would be arranged in small vases down the center of the table. There were short wax candle figurines of pilgrims and turkeys that magically appeared on the table each year. They were on that table when I was a child; my kids, decades later, knew to expect them and asked about them. We eat. Comments are made that if you want any food, don't get behind my sister-in-law in the line to fix your plate. The same thing every year. The same comments. The same wonderful food. It's a tradition. It's an annual routine. It's wonderful to fall back on – we know exactly what's coming. It's also specifically prescribed behaviors which we all agree to participate in, which, to me, can feel stifling. However, I happily do it because not having it – this tradition, this annual routine – not having it available to me – would be worse. The meal would feel empty and awful. I cherish it. Just like tomorrow, I'll get up again just after 5AM, get dressed, start the coffee maker, fold clothes while the coffee brews, and so on. It's boring and predictable. But I need it. I cherish it. Not having it available to me would be worse. I'm Cam Marston, just trying to Keep It Real.
Send us a textStart with a simple audit: if someone reviewed your last 24 hours, would there be enough evidence to convict you of faith, love, and courage? We open in gratitude and prayer, then press into a hard but hopeful reset—less noise, more truth, and a love that shows up in action. From Proverbs' vision of faithful marriage to a bracing read of 1 John 4, we unpack how to test the spirits, confess Christ clearly, and live a love that casts out fear. No fluff, just the kind of clarity that helps you reframe the day ahead.We bring Scripture into real life with Psalm 123's plea for mercy amid contempt and Proverbs 29's warning that justice steadies a nation while corruption destroys it. History adds weight: the Medal of Honor courage of Robert Blake, an escaped slave who stood his ground under fire, and Abraham Lincoln's 1863 Thanksgiving proclamation calling a divided country to gratitude, repentance, and unity under God. These moments aren't museum pieces; they point to how character, conviction, and prayer change lives and nations.We also face down the false hopes of coercive ideologies, tracing how movements that promise progress often lead to control. The goal isn't outrage; it's discernment and a deeper love that prays for changed hearts while refusing to trade truth for quiet. If your soul has been crowded by hurry, screens, or fear, this conversation offers a practical way back: put God first, honor your marriage and family, serve your neighbor, and stand firm with humility.If this resonates, follow the show, share it with someone who needs a reset, and leave a quick review. Your support helps more people find a path to courage, clarity, and real hope.Support the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribe

On Thanksgiving Day, November 25, 1997, 16-year-old Karen Mitchell vanished in Eureka, California. Originally from Whittier near Long Beach, she had moved north a few months earlier to live with her aunt and uncle, hoping the rural setting would suit her nature-loving personality better than Southern California. That afternoon, Karen caught a ride with her aunt to Bayshore Mall, then left around 2:45 p.m. to walk about a mile along Broadway (US 101) to her daycare job...but she never arrived. When her aunt came to pick her up hours later, Karen was gone. Despite immediate searches and her mother’s desperate trip north, Karen Mitchell was never seen again.

Dolly Parton BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Dolly Parton has dominated headlines over the past several days, with news ranging from serious health updates to major cultural and business milestones. According to RadarOnline, Dolly recently canceled her six-show Las Vegas residency and pushed the dates back to September 2026 after doctors insisted she undergo medical procedures for a potentially dangerous health issue. She made a public statement to fans confirming the health challenges and her need for procedures, while friends and fellow stars like Reba McEntire and Kelly Clarkson have rallied to support her through these hard times. Behind the scenes, there is real concern among her inner circle, with insiders saying Dolly has never seemed this vulnerable, as she recuperates at her Nashville home and faces ongoing struggles with kidney stones.Despite these worries, Dolly remains very much present in the public sphere. She is in the midst of a multimedia celebration of her life and music, with her Threads My Songs in Symphony orchestral concert series selling out in cities like Oklahoma City and Raleigh, featuring Dolly onscreen sharing personal and musical stories. Dolly herself describes this project as a special way to share the story of her life through the “threads” of her songs, and these concerts have featured never-before-heard numbers from her upcoming Broadway musical, which she revealed continues to move her deeply during recent interviews with Entertainment Tonight. She spoke candidly about her late husband Carl Dean, whose passing earlier this year continues to be a source of emotional upheaval for her, especially as she watches him portrayed on stage in the new musical Dolly A True Original Musical, which has drawn critical attention for its honest storytelling and heartfelt performances.Meanwhile, Dolly's business empire continues to flourish. According to Happy Mag, her net worth stands at $650 million in 2025 thanks to smart business ventures, her Dollywood resort, her frozen foods line, philanthropy, and catalog ownership. Her upcoming memoir Star of the Show launches this week, filled with personal revelations about sacrifice, childlessness, and the demands of stardom—topics she has explored in depth on her latest media blitz. Simultaneously, her musical 9 to 5 and Smoky Mountain Christmas Carol are running in regional theaters, ensuring her music and narrative stay woven through American culture.In social media news, The New Daily and others have pointed out her viral resurgence as fans jump on her TikTok trends, especially with her older song “What's Up” gaining huge traction. Headlines highlight that while her health is fragile, her legacy and influence—both in the arts and business—show no sign of fading. Finally, on the philanthropic and public appearance front, Dolly is set to headline the Salvation Army's national Red Kettle Kickoff performance at the Dallas Cowboys' Thanksgiving Day game, underscoring her enduring appeal and commitment to public service even amidst her personal trials.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Post Malone BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Post Malone has been buzzing everywhere this week as rumors reach a fever pitch that he'll headline the Dallas Cowboys' Thanksgiving Day halftime show for the 2025 Red Kettle Kickoff. The Dallas Cowboys and the Salvation Army have dropped heavy hints on social media, including visuals of an eighteen-wheeler painted in Post's signature Bud Light blue and a Dak Prescott bobblehead nodding to his “Wow.” lyrics, all but confirming Malone as the performer. Outlets ranging from Holler Country to Whiskey Riff and MySanAntonio are calling his appearance a near lock, though as of today the official announcement is still pending. If true, this slot would be milestone territory as the Cowboys' Thanksgiving show is widely dubbed “second to the Super Bowl” in terms of exposure, and would only deepen Posty's bond with his home state and country music roots.Speaking of country, Malone remains planted firmly in his “country era.” His 2024 album F-1 Trillion continues to perform, and recent behind-the-scenes chatter points toward another country album in the pipeline for 2026. Chart-wise, his career-retrospective The Diamond Collection is still moving units, sitting at number 17 on Hits Daily Double's Top 50 albums for November 7, indicating sustained interest across genres.Social media has been a mixed bag for Post. Instagram analytics show a slight dip of 0.19 percent in followers over the month, holding steady at just under 27 million. Engagement remains respectable, with an average of 142,000 likes and 750 comments per post, but experts note his income from Instagram is trending downward after peaking in 2024. On the lighter side, his humility has gone viral again: a TikTok video of Malone sweetly interacting with a young fan at a restaurant has millions calling him the “nicest guy in music,” reinforcing his reputation for genuine kindness.In lighter headlines, Post dressed up as himself for Halloween and managed to walk Bourbon Street unrecognized, telling Theo Von's podcast all it took was his usual flannel shirt and lack of facial tattoos to go incognito. Meanwhile, fans are humorously campaigning for him to get a Queer Eye makeover, as Karamo Brown from the Netflix show revealed on X. Post himself joked that his fans “just think I'm ugly and smell,” showing classic self-deprecation but also love for the show.Businesswise, his multimillion-dollar tequila venture with Dre London continues to earn buzz, but no new business initiatives have been confirmed this week. On the personal front, Post is still reflecting on fatherhood in recent interviews, sharing adorable anecdotes about his three-year-old daughter's love of George Strait and emphasizing how family has grounded him amid career highs.In sum, with his likely Cowboys Thanksgiving performance, steady music sales, and relentless viral likability, Post Malone continues to prove he is not only a superstar but a cultural touchstone—one who can headline a stadium, charm a child, and step incognito through New Orleans, all in the same week.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI
We want to hear from you! Submit your Thanksgiving Prayer or a short note of thanks! Your submissions could be featured on Your Daily Prayer as we lead up to Thanksgiving Day. Thank you again for your continued support—we can’t wait to hear from you! https://tinyurl.com/322k4xau *Submissions closing 11/7 at 1 EST When life feels heavy and the days blur into exhaustion, it’s easy to wonder if true rest is even possible. As our daily prayer and devotional remind us, whether it’s from illness, emotional pain, grief, or stress, weariness can weigh on our hearts and bodies. In this honest reflection, Vivian Bricker shares how her struggle with chronic illness has taught her to lean on Jesus’ promise in Matthew 11:28–30 — that He offers real rest for the weary. God’s invitation to “come” is both gentle and personal. He doesn’t demand strength from us; instead, He offers His own. In our weakness, He promises peace. When we take His yoke upon us — choosing to walk in step with Him — we discover that His way is not burdensome but freeing. The world tells us to carry everything ourselves; Jesus tells us to hand it all over to Him. No matter what’s weighing you down today — pain, uncertainty, loss, or loneliness — remember this: you are not alone, and you are not forgotten. Christ invites you to exchange your burdens for His peace and your exhaustion for His rest. Today's Bible Reading:“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” – Matthew 11:28–30

Thank you again for your continued support—we can’t wait to hear from you! https://tinyurl.com/322k4xau Loneliness can sting deeply — especially when it comes from people we expected to care. In our daily prayer and devotional, we think about how, sometimes, friends don’t check in, family seems distant, or those you serve overlook your heart entirely. It’s easy to wonder: Is it me? Am I expecting too much? Do they even care at all? In this vulnerable reflection, Kelly Balarie reminds us that Jesus Himself knew what it was like to feel unseen and misunderstood. Even His own brothers didn’t believe in Him (John 7:5). Yet, Jesus never wavered in His confidence of the Father’s love. He trusted that even when people misunderstood or dismissed Him, God still cared deeply and had a perfect plan. When others seem indifferent, it doesn’t mean we’re unloved or forgotten. God’s care is steadfast — not dependent on human approval or attention. He sees the pain that others overlook and tenderly calls us to fix our eyes on Him. Let’s also use these moments to examine our hearts. Are we seeking people’s validation more than God’s affirmation? When our worth is rooted in His care, the emptiness caused by others’ neglect begins to fade. The same God who cared for Jesus cares for you — fully, faithfully, and forever. Today's Bible Reading:“For even his own brothers did not believe in him.” – John 7:5, NIV

Thank you again for your continued support—we can’t wait to hear from you! https://tinyurl.com/322k4xau God never intended for us to do life alone. As our daily prayer and reflection remind us, from the beginning of creation, He designed us for community — with Him and with one another. Yet, for many believers, being part of a church family isn’t always easy. Differences in opinion, leadership conflicts, or even personal wounds can cause deep pain within the very place meant to nurture our faith. In this compassionate reflection, Laura Bailey reminds us that while church hurt is real and painful, Christian community is still God’s plan for His people. Just as Adam was not meant to be alone, neither are we. Throughout Scripture, we see how God uses relationships — even messy ones — to shape us, refine us, and reveal His grace. From the early church in Acts to the disciples who followed Jesus, believers have always grown stronger in community. Though it can be hard to stay when relationships feel strained, the call of Christ is not to walk away but to lean in — to forgive, to reconcile, and to remain united under His love. Today's Bible Reading:“The Lord God said, ‘It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.’” – Genesis 2:18, NIV

Thank you again for your continued support—we can’t wait to hear from you! https://tinyurl.com/322k4xau Have you ever been so busy doing good things that you forgot to simply be with God? In this honest and relatable daily prayer and reflection, Rachel Wojo, host of Untangling Prayer, shares how the busyness of life can leave our hearts exhausted, even when everything looks “successful” from the outside. Between work, family, and endless responsibilities, it’s easy to glorify productivity — but God calls us to something better: rest in Him. Psalm 23 paints a picture of a gentle Shepherd who doesn’t drag His sheep to rest — He lovingly leads them. The green pastures and still waters aren’t luxuries for the lucky few; they’re divine invitations for every believer. God knows when our souls are running on empty, and He stands ready to restore us if we’ll only stop striving and follow His lead. Rest isn’t a reward for finishing the work — it’s the foundation for doing the work well. When we allow God to refresh our spirits, we love better, live wiser, and serve from a place of overflow rather than exhaustion. Today, take time to breathe deeply and let your Shepherd lead you to the peace He’s already prepared. Today's Bible Reading:“He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul.” – Psalm 23:1–3

Post Malone BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Post Malone's past few days have been a masterclass in both star power and Southern hospitality and if you have been paying attention you know he has proven himself to be the rare sort of celebrity that headlines not just for music but for generosity and genuine fun. According to both Whiskey Riff and American Songwriter, Post headlined the 2025 Cattle Baron's Ball at Southfork Ranch this past weekend, drawing thousands of fans and supporting the American Cancer Society. Fresh off that concert, he was spotted at Flips Patio Grill in Grapevine, Texas, settling in to watch his beloved Dallas Cowboys play the Denver Broncos. Not even the Cowboys' 44-24 loss could sour his mood. Throughout the night Post picked up the tab for two tables besides his own and left a $1000 tip on each bill, creating a wave of appreciation among the staff and guests, some of whom quickly shared the moment on social media. It is not the first time Post Malone has made headlines for generosity—just last Christmas, he famously tipped a Houston bartender $20,000, and earlier this year he left a hefty tip at a Pizza Hut in Utah for opening up early. The social media posts from Flips Patio Grill expressed gratitude for his kindness and the fun atmosphere he brought to the local crowd.Online, Post Malone's viral moment at Flips went wide with fans calling him “a treasure,” as reported in Parade, further cementing his reputation as one of the most gracious figures in entertainment. On the business side, rumors are swirling from K95 Tulsa and MySanAntonio that Post Malone is likely to be the Dallas Cowboys' headliner for their annual Thanksgiving Day halftime show. The speculation is fueled by teaser videos and the timing of his passionate appearances in Texas, though as of now, official confirmation is still pending. Industry insiders are betting this potential performance could mark another major milestone for him, especially given how seamless his transition from hip-hop to country has been since his hit record F-1 Trillion last year.In terms of public appearances, just days ago Posty was spotted ringside at WWE Saturday Night's Main Event in Salt Lake City, sharing the front row spotlight alongside Pauly Shore, Tony Hinchcliffe, and Gabriel Luna. WWE gave each celebrity a featured on-screen graphic, and social media lit up as fans debated which surprise guest brought the most hype—proof that Post Malone's reach crosses far beyond music into all corners of pop culture.On Bluesky social, the Post Malone fan scene remains active, though most mentions lean playful, and nothing substantial about the past few days has gone viral there yet. Summing up these recent developments, the biggest long-term biographical impact is the steady evolution of Post's public persona—a chart-topping artist who matches his musical success with authentic generosity, making him not just a star but a cultural phenomenon whose every appearance is loaded with the potential for viral headlines, good deeds, and memorable moments. No credible controversies or negative news have surfaced, making this a streak of positivity that even seasoned industry veterans rarely maintain for this long.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI
We want to hear from you! Submit your Thanksgiving Prayer or a short note of thanks! Your submissions could be featured on Your Daily Prayer as we lead up to Thanksgiving Day. Thank you again for your continued support—we can’t wait to hear from you! https://tinyurl.com/322k4xau There are times in our walk with God when His presence feels near — when prayer flows easily, Scripture feels alive, and worship fills our hearts with joy. But, as our daily prayer and devotional remind us, then come the harder seasons — the dry, weary days when God seems silent, and our hearts ache with loneliness. In today’s reflection, Sophia Bricker reminds us that even when God feels far away, His presence has never left us. Scripture gives voice to this struggle through the psalmists, Job, Jeremiah, and even Jesus Himself, who cried out, “My God, my God, why have You forsaken me?” (Psalm 22:1; Matthew 27:46). These moments of spiritual dryness are not signs of abandonment — they are invitations to deeper faith. When we face sorrow, sin, or suffering, we may feel distant from God, but faith reminds us that He remains close — “a friend who sticks closer than a brother” (Proverbs 18:24). The Lord has promised to be with us always, even to the end of the age. His love does not depend on our emotions; it is steadfast, eternal, and unchanging. When God feels far, hold fast to what is true: He is near, and He will never leave you. Bible Reading:“And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” – Matthew 28:20, NIV Takeaway Truths: Feeling distant from God doesn’t mean He has left us — His presence is constant. Spiritual dryness is often an invitation to grow deeper in faith. God’s promises are greater than our emotions; His love never changes.

Jack Benny Show 1941-11-23 422-Thanksgiving Day Dinner
Neil and Jorge are working on Thanksgiving Day. They are joined by Adam, and Joey. Lots of bits, and who will feed them today?
(This podcast was previously recorded and published on December 10, 2020) Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney ... Philippians 4:6-7 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. ***** (Comments by Joan Boney) I had a rather serious dental appointment scheduled on November 30, 2020. I did exactly what it says to do in Philippians 4:6 ... The appointment was scheduled about 2 months earlier. I knew there was a possibility of a root canal. Every time during those weeks approaching the appointment when I thought of the appointment, I prayed, asking God for help. I asked God to help the dentist in the decisions that she made, and that she not do more to me than needed. I asked God to keep me from being hurt. I even prayed that I not be afraid. I had asked God to help me to physically get ready for the appointment, to get my hair washed and get shower. (I'm 83 and this can be difficult.) On the Saturday before the appointment, all of a sudden I asked Pam if we could go get my hair cut that afternoon. This is one of those non-appointment shops we go to. But because of the rise in Coronavirus we had not been for about 3 months. There was no difficulty at all in getting into the shop. It was 2 days after the American holiday, Thanksgiving Day. The hair operator said they had been very busy but that day was "slow". I was so glad. I had asked God not to let either Pam or myself get Coronavirus. The day of the dental appointment, I was easily able to take shower. It took two hours for dentist to do the work on my tooth. I felt no pain at all, neither during the procedure nor after. Dentist said she decided to remove the crown and drill out the decay and not do a root canal. She said, "Let's try this first." I thanked God for answering each part of my prayer. And I was "careful for nothing" because I had prayed according to Philippians 4:6. It is so important for each of us to live a "carefree" life through God day by day, second by second. I had even prayed if there was any reason I should cancel that appointment that God would show me. But no reason manifest itself so I went on to the appointment. Even after all the dental work was done, there was not one second of pain or discomfort. "Let your requests be made known unto God."

(00:00:00) CeaseFirePA recently hosted a discussion titled “Most Gun Deaths Are Suicide—It’s Time to Act”, drawing attention to a critical but often overlooked aspect of gun violence. (00:22:21) As the temperatures dip and leaves begin to fall, gardeners have plenty to think about beyond raking. Horticulturist Erica Jo Schaefer joined The Spark to share her expertise on preparing gardens for winter and ensuring a vibrant spring. “The bulbs should be being planted right now and you can plant as long as the ground isn’t frozen. You could even be planting bulbs on Thanksgiving Day,” Erica explained. For Pennsylvania gardeners, she recommends snowdrops, crocus, daffodils, and tulips—while noting that deer preferences can influence what you plant.Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
World War II had the effect of making Fort Huachuca into a a central gathering place for Black men and women serving in the U.S. Army. Their experience ran parallel with their white counterparts, except for a notable undercurrent of segregation, prejudice, and racism. And those same undercurrents would result in a minor war breaking out on the streets of Phoenix on Thanksgiving Day 1942.
In this cozy autumn episode of The Insomnia Project, hosts Amanda and Marco settle in for a soothing chat about all things seasonal and nostalgic.
1. Week 6 Takeaways-DKrom: Chiefs offense looks better than they have in ages*....and they have a major upgrade on the way in Rashee Rice -Hal: Can't wait until the trade deadline because everything's so jumbled up right now2. Week 6 Honors-GOAT of the Week (DKrom: Dave Canales, Hal: Justin Herbert)-Dunce of the Week (DKrom: Aaron Glenn, Hal: Jerry Jones)3. On a scale of 1-10 (1 being no panic at all, 10 being hide the kids), how panicked are you that the impatience and impulsive decision making of Titans ownership will ruin the promising talent that is Cam Ward? Also, each of the last four QB's selected at first overall (Trevor Lawrence, Bryce Young, Caleb Williams, and now Cam Ward) have had their head coach fired during their rookie campaign. On that same scale of 1-10, how alarming of a trend is this becoming for young QB's? 4. According to NFL insider Benjamin Allbright, a big name to watch for the Titans HC vacancy is Giants OC Mike Kafka. Keep in mind, Kafka worked together with Mike Borgonzi in Kansas City, where he was the QB's coach and had a very influential role in the development of Patrick Mahomes. And as these past three weeks have shown, he has done an excellent job with Jaxson Dart thus far. How good of a hire would Mike Kafka be? 5. Truth or Exaggeration (Division Race Edition)-There is a path for the Giants to win the NFC East-The NFC West will be a two-team race between the Rams and the Seahawks-The Falcons are a legit threat to the Bucs in the NFC South-The winner of the Packers/Lions game on Thanksgiving Day will win the NFC North-The Patriots should be the betting favorite to win the AFC East-If their offense continues the improvement it has shown the last two games, the Texans will leapfrog the Colts and Jaguars to win the AFC South -Thanks to their red hot offense, Bo Nix's sophomore struggles and the Chargers injury issues, the Chiefs will win their 10th consecutive AFC West title -The Ravens will rally back from their four-game deficit and win their third consecutive AFC North title 6. Week 7 Game Picks-Lock of the Week (DKrom: Chiefs over Raiders, Hal: Panthers over Jets)-Upset Special (DKrom: Saints over Bears, Hal: Bucs over Lions)-Steelers at Bengals-Rams at Jaguars-Dolphins at Browns-Patriots at Titans -Eagles at Vikings-Colts at Chargers-Giants at Broncos-Packers at Cardinals-Commanders at Cowboys-Falcons at 49ers-Texans at Seahawks7. Bold Predictions-DKrom: Giants sack Bo Nix 10 times, 7 of them by Abdul Carter (including a strip-sack fumble late in the fourth quarter to set up the game-winning FG)-Hal: Baker Mayfield throws 5 TD to 5 different people, and leads his team to another last-second game-winning FG8. Challenge Flags-DKrom: Chiefs and other teams favored by a TD or more...DO NOT PLAY DOWN TO YOUR COMPETITION!!!!-Hal: Cam Ward...keep your chin up and look to Drake Maye and Caleb Williams as an example of where you could be!!!!
The incredible, untold true story of the 1952 Dallas Texans-the most dysfunctional team in the craziest season in NFL history.Rattlesnakes on the practice field, barroom brawls between teammates, bounced checks, paternity suits, house bombings by the Ku Klux Klan, stadium fields covered in circus-elephant dung, one-legged trainers, humiliating defeats, miraculous wins, All-Pro quarterbacks getting drunk at halftime, strip poker with groupies, and even a future Hall of Fame coach stealing a cab.Nearly lost to history, this singular season in the most football-mad region of the world is a kaleidoscope of every larger-than-life, fictionalized Texas football folktale ever written or filmed, with one incredible twist: it's all true. Over a fascinating, ten-month rollercoaster ride in 1952, in the waning Wild West days of the NFL, before television turned the game into a corporation, the forgotten Dallas Texans would go down in history as one of the worst (and, wildest) teams of all time and the last NFL team to fail. But not before defying the Jim Crow South, pulling off a Thanksgiving Day miracle against George Halas's famed Chicago Bears and then celebrating with an even more infamous bender that would make Jimmy Johnson's Dallas Cowboys blush. A year later, the NFL buried all traces of the most loveable, dysfunctional, entertaining team in history by secretly rebranding the train wreck Texans as the wholesome, all-American Baltimore Colts, the team that would go on to save pro football.A Big Mess in Texas tells the Texans' tale with all the humor, drama, game action, colorful characters, villains, world-class athletes, civil rights trailblazers, and incredible plot twists of that legendary season.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

Every autumn, as the leaves turn and the air grows crisp in Virginia's Shenandoah County, a unique transformation takes place inside a cavernous warehouse usually reserved for the nation's grandest parade floats. This is the home of American Fright Night, a one-of-a-kind haunted house experience that draws thrill-seekers and families alike. In this episode of “Tourism Tuesday,” host Janet Michael, joined by co-host Kary Haun, sat down with Ashley Proctor, Director of Events and Marketing for Shenandoah Caverns, and Bo Wills, the creative and maintenance director behind Fright Night, to pull back the curtain on this beloved local tradition. The conversation opens with a sense of excitement and nostalgia, as Kary recalls the annual anticipation for Fright Night and the unmistakable signs of fall in Shenandoah County—pumpkin spice, local potato chips, and the buzz of community events. But it's the transformation of the American Celebration on Parade building that truly captures the imagination. Bo and Ashley share how the idea for Fright Night was born from a desire to do something special with the space, which houses massive parade floats from the Rose Bowl and Thanksgiving Day parades. When the opportunity finally arose, the team leapt into action, designing a haunted house that is as creative as it is immersive. Building Fright Night is no small feat. The team has just a month to construct elaborate sets, design new scares, and coordinate a growing cast of volunteer actors—many of them local students eager to unleash their inner ghouls. Bo describes the joy of seeing volunteers, often quiet in everyday life, come alive in costume, delighting in the freedom to scare and entertain. The event is constantly evolving, with new scenes and layouts each year to keep even returning guests on their toes. Accessibility is a point of pride for the organizers. With 40,000 square feet to work with, the team ensures that 90% of the haunt is wheelchair accessible, a rarity among haunted attractions. Special “scare-free” nights and family-friendly events like trunk-or-treat make Fright Night welcoming for all ages and comfort levels. Ashley details the logistics of ticketing, group sizes, and the careful pacing that allows each group to enjoy the experience at their own speed—whether they're sprinting through in terror or savoring every detail. Beyond Fright Night, the conversation highlights the rich tapestry of events and attractions that make Shenandoah County a destination in its own right. From the historic caverns and the whimsical parade float museum to wine festivals, farm-to-table dinners, and live theater, there truly is something for everyone. Kary reflects on the county's unique blend of rural charm and vibrant community spirit, encouraging listeners to explore all that the region has to offer. As the episode draws to a close, the sense of community and creativity that fuels American Fright Night is unmistakable. It's more than just a haunted house—it's a celebration of local talent, tradition, and the joy of coming together to create something unforgettable. Whether you're a fan of jump scares or prefer your autumn festivities a little tamer, Shenandoah County's Fright Night promises a memorable experience for all.

Peabody Award-nominated writer and Episode 389 guest David Fleming (“Breaker Boys: The NFL's Greatest Team and the Stolen 1925 Championship”) returns to the show to unpack one of the National Football League's most chaotic and fascinating chapters: the disaster of the 1952 Dallas Texans. In his new book,"A Big Mess in Texas: The Miraculous, Disastrous 1952 Dallas Texans and the Craziest Untold Story in NFL History," Fleming chronicles the league's first attempt to plant a professional football franchise in football-crazed Texas — a venture so ill-fated that the NFL reportedly still disavows it. Fleming guides us through the Texans' brief and turbulent existence, from their origins as the financially struggling New York Yanks to their relocation to Dallas under the ambitious but ill-prepared Miller brothers. We explore a 1–11 season riddled with logistical nightmares and meet the team's unforgettable characters: future Hall of Famers Art Donovan and Gino Marchetti, unsung heroes like Buddy Young and George Taliaferro, and a broader cast of characters who fought to keep the team afloat despite unrelenting chaos. You'll hear about rattlesnakes on the practice field, barroom brawls, bounced checks, paternity suits, one-legged trainers, humiliating defeats, a miraculous victory, strip poker with groupies, and even a future Hall of Fame coach stealing a cab. Amidst the madness, Fleming spotlights the Texans' lone shining moment: a Thanksgiving Day "home game" upset over the Chicago Bears at the Rubber Bowl in Akron, Ohio — an improbable triumph that perfectly captured the team's fleeting flashes of brilliance against a constant tide of organizational mayhem.

It was Thanksgiving Day, 2012, in the small town of Little Falls, Minnesota. That morning, cousins Nick Brady and Haile Kifer set out to visit family for dinner. But when they never showed up, their loved ones were thrown into a desperate search. By the next day, their worst fears were confirmed—Nick and Haile had been killed inside the home of 64-year-old Byron Smith. At first glance, it looked like a tragic but lawful case of self-defense under Minnesota's Castle Doctrine. Smith claimed he'd been terrorized by repeated break-ins and had finally snapped when the teens entered his home. But the investigation revealed something far more chilling: Byron Smith hadn't been caught off guard. He'd been lying in wait. This week, we dive into the audio recordings that changed everything, the trial that divided the community, and the chilling words Smith used to justify what he'd done, which leaves us with the question: was this self defense… or murder?
