Hello! It’s the podcast with just SO MANY pie takes. Today, Katie and the Casualties help you celebrate Thanksgiving with discussions of Apple vs. Pumpkin vs. Pecan vs. Meat, the mystery of cranberries, the magic of mashed potatoes, the ultra-utility of the black turtleneck, how to corral drunk relatives into family games, whether Katie is finally old enough to contribute a dish this year, the history of Thanksgiving movies from Planes, Trains & Automobiles to Son-in-Law and that’s pretty much it, and a debate about whether we should make Isabella watch Creed’s halftime performance at the 2001 Thanksgiving Day Cowboys game. Then, Matthew Daddario & Holland Roden, the stars of Hallmark Channel’s “Holiday Touchdown: A Bills Love Story” (streaming now!) join the show [34:36] to talk about their new Christmas film, the love letter to Bills fans and the city of Buffalo, what they learned about drinking out of bowling balls at a Bills tailgate, acting alongside Sean McDermott, Dion Dawkins, and a long roster of Bills players, the pros and cons of dating a sports fan, what it would take to turn Holland into a full-fledged Casual, their characters’ relationship and Matthew’s portrayal of a VP of Stadium Development, the pacing of filming a Hallmark movie, Matthew’s Giants fandom, and a game of “Build the Perfect Sports RomCom”. And we wrap, of course, with a thank you to the greatest podcast audience in the world. Love you. Mean it.
