Show notes - Episode 118: Meandering Through Your Holidays

Hi there, Pat here! I'm still a bit over the weather this week, so I'll just get right to it - holiday traditions, movies, HOTSTOVE, a sweet tune, and more. Let's do the thing!

Alabama, I am proud of you. The race between a dude who messed around with teens and a dude who didn't should not have been close, but I'm glad youse guyses made the right choice!

It's always a crap shoot when I ask listeners questions for the show. As I've said, probably many times, I just assume no one listens so I don't have any pressure. So when I got so many responses to my holiday traditions query, I was excited! But then I was terrified because I had to do a bunch of reading out loud. I think I did okay, so thanks to everyone who shared their stuff with me!

• NE: Brandin Cooks - can he do the stuff?
• PIT: Ben, Bell, Brown - Houston, we have a ripoff
• WINNER: NE. I can't see them losing two in a row with this offense.

Not a lot in the entertainment stuff this week, but THE BIG ONE is out for you to go see. Plus, I gave you some wonderful ideas for holiday specials to watch. Yeah!
