Chewing the Fat: Thanksgiving Special

Neither of us enjoy premature Christmasing... but we're not here to talk about that. We're focusing on Thanksgiving, so join us in a feast of facts while we talk about where your food comes from, and which parts of the country is having you over for dinner. Minnesota has the turkey, Wisconsin has the cranberries, and Illinois is pumping out the pumpkin. Christy thinks sweet potatoes are gross, but pay attention to Dani's advice on how to properly eat a sweet potato. Listen to our own Thanksgiving traditions, and live your own traditions yourself! Happy turkey day (:

Aggie Morning Word Podcast: National Fast Food Day

On today's show:
The word of the day is “sedulous,” which means persevering; eager and thorough.
Today’s holiday is National Fast Food day. Though it’s a slam in the face because just yesterday Taco Bell decided to re-brand as a dine-in restaurant. They want to compete with Chipotle. #longlivetacobell #no
Trump’s team and the Democratic party are shaking up their leadership positions. Republicans re-nominated Paul Ryan for House Speaker. It’s awkward because he and Trump don’t get along.
Also, Dems decided to postpone nominating a minority leader. Until now, it’s been Nancy Pelosi. But with last week’s election upset, that’s yet to be determined.
#flotus, AKA Michelle Obama, is upset that an immigrant is taking over her job. (JK… I saw that on a meme and I thought that was funny.)
50 USU students stood in solidarity with #blacklivesmatter last night near Old Main.
Also, USU’s Flannel Friday is in full swing. Aggies don their greatest nicest flannel to indicate to people that they’re single…. and ready to mingle….
A new animated short shows Robo-Trump who destroys a mariachi band.

Today is national spicy guacamole day and world diabetes day. 
No, that guy you met that one time at the party that you accidentally friended on Facebook hasn’t passed away. A glitch in the system has caused regular Facebook pages to briefly turn into memorials.  (YUP, that’s a thing!) The glitch even affected Facebook creator Mark Zuckerberg’s account, this coming after he has received a lot of criticism over fake news stories popping up on people’s walls, including a story about the Pope supporting Trump! Zuckerberg has said the majority of news stories on Facebook are the real deal, but the company is also working on making it easier to flag and reduce fake news.  (Source:  theSkimm and nbcnews)
Emails obtained by the Salt Lake Tribune reveal that USU officials knew that Jason Relopez may have sexually abused multiple students. They appeared uncertain on how they would handle the allegations, even though the title IX law requires a university to launch an investigation if there is the possibility an individual has assaulted multiple students, even without a formal complaint. According to the emails, university officials talked with Relopez about consent, blocked him from a “greek” event, and warned him he was on their radar. It was only after Morgan Klinkowski, who claims that she was raped in 2014 by relopez, heard that he had allegedly raped another student did she file a report to the police. It was only after the police report and his arrest that the university suspended Relopez. 
In other news, USU students protested Wells Fargo on Friday on Main Street in Logan. Protesters say Wells Fargo has ties to the Dakota Access Pipeline in North Dakota. (If built, that pipeline could infringe on native american land.) At the protest in Logan, Trump supporters showed up to protest the protesters. (protester-ception!!)
Police allege a USU student is attempting to film a woman at the Cache Valley Mall in a store called Bliss in August. Officials say the case may be related to another allegation of voyeurism on campus. Police say he’s 20-years-old, six-feet tall, and 180 pounds. If you know any information related to the case, contact the police.

We're doing an election and reaction show with lots of zest and fervor.

EnviroPod Episode 2: Trump's likely cabinet appointees, Nabokov, Butterfly genitalia, and whale sex

This week's episode was a bit of an open rant because TRUMP. Hosts Darren Bingaham and JD Herndon, along with producer Alyssa Roberts, discussed the ins and outs of what went wrong this election cycle, why Trump is bad for the environment (clean coal, anyone?). Somehow the conversation turned to Vladimir Nabokov's studies of butterfly genitalia and, inevitably, whale sex. Hop along for the ride because this episode – just like this week – was a total trip.
