Do You Play Board Games After Thanksgiving Dinner?

Stacy Lee — Wed, 14 Nov 2012 16:56:37 +0000

A new survey says 56 percent of Americans play board games after Thanksgiving. 64 percent said they watch football (I wonder how many watch football while playing board games). But popular culture hardly ever talks about the board games. What do you do? “Scrabble” is a popular one. Kids love “Monopoly.” “Settlers of Catan” is [...]

Who Is The King Of The Thanksgiving Pies?

Chuck Hall — Fri, 18 Nov 2011 17:30:47 +0000

The battle line have been drawn, people have taken sides, it's time to put up or shut up. Every Thanksgiving our family has the age old dispute, what is the best tasting pie. Now we are talking home made, not store bought. The first pie you think of is pumpkin of course, but not the best tasting in my opinion. Then there is the old stand by, apple, followed by any berry pie, and then the chocolate creations. I know I'm missing some pies, but that's where you come in. Over the week end tell me your top 3 pies, and we will discuss the results on Monday during the morning show. Click 'read more' and let's settle this once and for all.
