It's Thanksgiving Week in the U.S. and to celebrate, we've got the funniest, MOST streamed, listened and downloaded show in our podcasting history! It's a classic from 2008. It's foul, irreverent, and it's sheer debauchery. For those of you outside the U.S. that aren't familiar- this was annual tradition that Denise devised- to get wasted on the air and make celebrity prank calls the night before Thanksgiving. Pop this show on while your elbow deep in stuffing turkeys and making pies. Promise, you'll laugh. The Rainbow Remix is back next week.
