Turkey's, Thanksgiving, loosening the belts and much more start the show off in style. 

Pumpkin spice and pies are holiday favourites that Matt tees off on.  Matt gets ranty with Jack about cranberries.

The three sisters!!! What the heck are we talking about? Lynne discusses an indigenous city and how aboriginal peoples lived off the land. 

Corn and blueberries featured prominently in ancient diets.  

Low oxygen, nitrogen and apple storage.  You'll find out something really cool.

Matt discusses a really interesting way to pull a stump out of the ground. Speaking of the ground, Jack talks about migrating rocks. 

Dynamite and stumps.  BOOM! Matt tells a story that Jack has told 92,000 times.
