Thanksgiving Gratitude and a New Way to Zap the Ice

Welcome to Simple Joe. I’m glad you’re here.

Happy Thanksgiving, my friend. Today I talk about the very first Thanksgiving meal back in the autumn of 1621 and how it probably had lobster, eel, goose, and five deer from the Wampanoag instead of turkey. I share the weather for Delmar, New York and here at home in Cincinnati, and then we dig into the headline you chose from Monday’s Interesting Headlines: a wild new “zap the ice” technology that uses electricity instead of heat to clear your car windshield in seconds. I walk through how it works, why it could change winter mornings for all of us, and why it might even be one of those quiet investment game changers. I also spend time reflecting on Thanksgiving itself, talking about family, friends, gratitude, awkward holiday dynamics, and why today is such a powerful day to make memories with the people you love and the people who love you. And of course, I tease tomorrow’s Top 10 List, suggested by listener Andy Hoffman: the Top 10 Most Popular Soups, because it is fall and soup season is definitely here.
