Podcasts about Thanksgiving

This week marks episode 211 of the What Are We Doing Podcast, and I've officially hit the “too busy to breathe” point. I'm on a 12-day nonstop run of weddings, events, podcasts, and marketing chaos, all while trying to remember to eat something other than leftover mac and cheese. October? No days off. What are we doing?This episode kicks off with a PSA to brides, grooms, and anyone who plans to serve food to a crowd: hire Mission Barbecue. Forget the “mom-and-pop” caterers who promise love in every bite but deliver cold broccoli and chaos. Forget the fancy chefs who run out of oven space. You want food that tastes good, shows up on time, and doesn't need a miracle to stay warm? Mission Barbecue. That's it. End of debate.Then I move into the part of the weekend where my friend Kaisa got married. I DJ'd the wedding as my gift, and in return, her husband Paul gifted me a 1999 graded 8.5 holographic Gengar Pokémon card. We looked it up. Thirty thousand dollars. Thirty thousand. I cried in my car. You try keeping a straight face when someone hands you a $30k ghost Pokémon as a thank-you. What are we doing?After that came a trunk-or-treat event for local preschools, hundreds of kids, and a K-Pop Demon Hunter dance party. Because apparently, I don't know how to say no to anything in October.But before we can even think about Halloween, it's time for the annual Thanksgiving Meal Olympics. Aldi, Walmart, Costco, Giant, and Honey Baked Ham are all fighting for your turkey money. Aldi wants $40 to feed ten people. Costco says $199 for eight. Walmart undercuts them all with $38, but you have to cook everything yourself. Giant's claiming $20 but only if you've spent $400 already. And then there's Honey Baked Ham, where you pay for peace, quality, and not having to bake anything. Two minutes in the oven. Done. Best ham or turkey of your life. What are we doing?From there, we head straight into politics. Donald Trump has pardoned Binance CEO CZ after a $4 billion fraud settlement—right after CZ's company invested $2 billion in Trump's family crypto business, “World Liberty Financial.” Totally a coincidence, right? The man literally said money laundering isn't a crime. Then he tore down the East Wing of the White House to build a $350 million ballroom. Apple, Facebook, Microsoft, and half the Fortune 500 are helping pay for it. And when people asked about the construction, the White House released a slideshow including Clinton's scandal, Obama's “terrorist visitors,” and Hunter Biden's cocaine bag as part of “historical context.” What are we doing?And if that circus wasn't enough, the New York City mayoral debate turned into an SNL sketch. Candidates argued over parades. One said all parades matter. Another said he's too busy to attend. Someone asked if they'd create new parades. A third guy looked like he was being held hostage. Absolute chaos.We wrap the episode with the $20 million diamond heist at the Louvre. Some say it's real. Others think it's PR for “Now You See Me 3.” Either way, it's proof that someone in Paris didn't spring for $30 Wi-Fi cameras. If they want those diamonds back, they better call Nicolas Cage. What are we doing?Episode 211 is pure madness from start to finish: bad caterers, rare Pokémon, Trump's crypto pardons, Thanksgiving hacks, a mayoral debate about parades, and a diamond heist conspiracy.So before you go—hit the like button.

Mackenzie Rivers and Dan Rivera talk all things NFL Survivor contest. Mackenzie Rivers and Dan Rivera – NFL Week 8 Survivor Talk Mackenzie and Dan survived Week 7 with the Chiefs and eye Week 8's board. The Colts, now 14.5-point favorites over the Titans, are their top Survivor pick. Titans fired their coach, briefly rallied, but collapsed; Colts keep rolling with an elite offense. Mackenzie urges optimism with caution—weak early schedule, shaky secondary. Dan agrees: they've beaten bad teams, but execution and coaching have turned Daniel Jones into a top-12 QB caliber player. True tests come soon vs. Jags, Texans, Chiefs, Seattle, and San Francisco. Still, Indy looks like the AFC's second-best team behind Kansas City. Mackenzie cites non-turnover EPA metrics: Colts' offense ranks No. 1, defense 21st; Chiefs No. 4 offense, No. 9 defense; Cowboys surprisingly No. 2 offense despite awful defense. Chiefs remain favorites by pedigree more than dominance. Dak Prescott (20-1) could sneak into MVP talks if Dallas stays hot. Balanced teams like Rams (1st defense, 7th offense), Seahawks, and Lions round out the top 10. Mackenzie says the Colts' scoring power makes them legit contenders if they sustain efficiency. On Chiefs-Commanders, Dan warns: don't burn Kansas City now—you'll need them for Thanksgiving week. Mariota can replicate 85-90% of Daniels's offense; Chiefs should win, but beware overconfidence. Mackenzie calls it a one-score game—Mariota's capable, market overreacted to QB switch. Next tier: Falcons (-7.5) vs. Dolphins—Dan expects Bijan and London to thrive; Dolphins fading fast. Mackenzie agrees: Atlanta safe for parlays, but Colts remain primary. Eagles-Giants? Dan's cautious; health and effort issues make Philly unpredictable. Bills-Panthers? Both advise a pass—Buffalo's defense thin, Allen regressing. Patriots-Browns? Another pass; New England solid but inconsistent. Their Survivor track record: Steelers, Ravens, Bills, Texans, Lions, Packers, Chiefs—strong slate, no major regrets. They plan to ride Colts this week, holding Patriots, Niners, Broncos, Eagles, Bucs, Seahawks, and Rams for later. Bengals-Jets earns debate: Dan sees Cincy improving, Jets lifeless without stars; Mackenzie warns both are bad—avoid betting terrible teams. Final thoughts: under on combined wins for Raiders, Titans, Jets—about 4.5 total. Mackenzie closes: Colts are the official Survivor pick; strong offense, manageable risk. Promo code SAC20 for $20 off at Pregame.com—better value than sweating the Jets. Week 8 verdict: Colts to survive and advance. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Mackenzie Rivers and Dan Rivera talk NFL Survivor entries for week 7. Mackenzie Rivers and Dan Rivera survived NFL Week 6 and move on to Week 7, glad they used the Steelers in Week 1. Dan explains 9% of the pool took the Steelers and are out, giving them equity, and he's eyeing the Bengals led by Joe Flacco. Mackenzie jokes about the Steelers' mediocrity and pivots to Shohei Ohtani's brilliance before discussing Survivor strategy: saving the Chiefs for Thanksgiving but noting the huge gap between them as 12-point favorites and other teams at seven. He leans Chiefs, disliking the Patriots' third road game, the Broncos' London return, and the Packers' inconsistency. Dan warns Circa players to save the Chiefs for holiday games but agrees Kansas City likely wins unless disaster strikes. Mackenzie cites EPA metrics showing the Raiders' offense near the bottom and backs Kansas City as the safe Survivor pick. They debate alternatives: Broncos-Giants (high variance, avoid Denver), Patriots-Titans (dead-cat bounce risk), and Packers-Cardinals (Kyler Murray uncertainty, Jordan Love's flaws). Mackenzie thinks the Chiefs are best; Dan agrees but cautions they'll be locked into the Eagles later. They briefly consider sharp alternatives like Seattle over Chicago, preferring Seattle's defense. Mackenzie notes Mike McDonald's strong road record but says New England's reliability makes them worth saving. Both settle on the Chiefs for Week 7. Dan adds that if forced among Panthers-Jets and Dolphins-Browns, he'd lean Carolina despite low confidence. Mackenzie surprisingly picks the Dolphins, citing Cleveland's weak offense, Joe Flacco's departure, and Miami's lingering effort. Both mock the Jets' offensive line after nine sacks and joke about Madden-like stats. They close agreeing the Chiefs are the play and preview Week 8, where Dan expects to favor the Colts versus the Texans. Mackenzie notes future uncertainty with the Eagles on Thanksgiving and hopes for better Survivor paths ahead. The show ends with plugs for @DanRivera228 and @MacenRivers, promising to keep surviving through Week 7. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

How do we stay hopeful in the face of despair and disillusionment—especially when politics threaten to tear us in two? Kate speaks with Parker Palmer, a writer, teacher, and activist. As you’ll hear, he has gone through seasons of deep clinical depression, and has hard-won wisdom to share with us on how to survive, how to regain a sense of agency, how to remain hopeful despite it all. In this episode, Kate and Parker discuss: finding agency in the midst of depression and despair (including his trick of redefining achievement) why it is important to recalibrate our sense of reality—especially in the face of 24-hour news cycles and social media algorithms how a broken heart can either shatter or break open into a larger, more compassionate way of being So on a day like today when we all might be thinking about the state of our nation or the state of our world or the realities at stake for our families and friends (....or perhaps, more tempted to keep our head in the sand to just make it through Thanksgiving), might we pull up close and listen to what Parker has to teach us about how to keep our hearts soft and remain hopeful, still.

Sara Eisen and David Faber began the hour with a fresh read on jobs using some alternative sources - before checking in on the tech trade with longtime investor Dan Niles, who says stocks will melt-up into Thanksgiving despite concerns over the AI trade. A key focus today? The health of the regional banks - as concerns rise around bad loans... Hear from one CEO in the group who says concerns are far overblown here, along with Evercore Vice Chairman Krishna Guha's take on the volatility. Also in focus: exclusive data from CNBC's All-America survey showing some concerning sentiment about the jobs market... Where things stand in Washington - and why the stoppage could last a lot longer... And a $300 trillion dollar mistake that's hitting crypto markets.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Buckle up, because this week's episode is a wild ride through chaos and couture. We've got a possible Thanksgiving travel nightmare thanks to a looming government shutdown, SKIMS launching faux fur panties (the bush is back, baby), and UPS saying “return to sender” by literally throwing packages away. Nicki Minaj might lose her $20M mansion, a beloved website is now blocked in Arizona, and we say RIP to legends Diane Keaton and D'Angelo. RHOP's Wendy Osefo got arrested, NBC News cut their diversity teams, and buying a new car now costs a casual $50K. America's running on delusion and iced coffee, and we're here to talk about it.

Today's Headlines: We're now on day 16 of the government shutdown, and Republican leaders are hinting it could drag on until Thanksgiving — casually blaming holiday travel chaos while admitting they're not even thinking about reopening the government. Meanwhile, OMB Director Russell Vought says the administration plans to fire 10,000 federal workers, though a federal judge just ruled they can't do that during a shutdown. While public employees go unpaid, the administration is finding cash for others — promising a “clever and generous” $10 billion bailout for farmers hit by the trade war with China once the shutdown ends, and another $20 billion to prop up Argentina's crumbling economy. Priorities! At the Pentagon, dozens of journalists turned in their press badges rather than sign Pete Hegseth's “state media” pledge requiring them to only report what the Defense Department approves — a move even Fox wouldn't touch. Over at the Supreme Court, justices heard a major case that could gut the Voting Rights Act by striking down race-based map protections — potentially flipping a dozen Democratic House seats in the South right before the 2026 midterms. Meanwhile, an Ohio GOP congressman's office was found to have a flag featuring a swastika intertwined with the American flag visible on a Zoom call. He blamed it on “vandalism,” because apparently random Nazi décor just appears in people's offices now. And finally, the yacht formerly known as the Lady Ghislaine — once owned by Robert Maxwell (yes, Ghislaine's dad) and now Rupert Murdoch's ex-wife's — caught fire in D.C. yesterday. Officials say it was electrical. Okay then.  Resources/Articles mentioned in this episode: Politico: Thanksgiving travel looms as shutdown risk, GOP leaders say - Live Updates Axios:  Federal firings could reach 10,000 during shutdown, Vought says AP News: Live updates: Judge blocks Trump administration from firing during shutdown Axios: Exclusive: "Clever and generous" farm bailout coming, Hassett says WaPo: Bessent says bailout for Argentina will double to boost U.S. influence in region The Wrap: Pentagon Reporters Turn In Press Badges as Pete Hegseth Restrictions Take Effect – but 'the Work Continues' NYT: Justices Seemed Open to Further Limiting the Voting Rights Act NBC News: Republican congressman calls flag with swastika displayed in his office 'vile' and says it's under investigation Telegraph: Yacht named after Ghislaine Maxwell catches fire in Washington DC Morning Announcements is produced by Sami Sage and edited by Grace Hernandez-Johnson Learn more about your ad choices.

A judge temporarily blocks the Trump administration from laying off thousands of federal workers amid the government shutdown.
