About this listen

In this Thanksgiving special, Travis kicks things off with a fun game called “Chain Link”—something he picked up from another podcast and wants to try with family over the holidays. He and Robert try it live on the show, and it quickly sets the tone for a warm, reflective episode.

(If you want to get straight to the good stuff, skip to 20:03)

From there, the guys dive into gratitude, sharing what they’re thankful for this season. Travis asks Robert about his unique Thanksgiving experiences growing up overseas—very different from the traditional American holiday Travis knew as a kid. Robert explains how being a transplant made Friendsgiving a central tradition, while Travis shares what a “classic” Thanksgiving looked like in his home.

Then comes the big question: Honey Baked Ham or Turkey—who wins Thanksgiving?

The conversation moves into how each of them approaches the tradition of saying what you're thankful for: what feels natural, what feels awkward, and what really matters. They each open up about the small moments that have shaped their gratitude this year and the life experiences that add perspective.

To wrap things up, Robert and Travis explore the idea of the “get to” list versus the “to-do” list—how shifting your mindset can bring more gratitude, joy, and intention to everyday life.

If you’re looking for a Thanksgiving episode filled with humor, perspective, and heartfelt reflection, this one’s for you. 🦃🍂
