Another thing's going on this week, in fact, since we won't have a podcast, please remember that some time in the afternoon on Thanksgiving Thursday, when you're in the food coma and the awkward conversations have happened at dinner and you're looking for something to pass the time, may I recommend watching our Mazda MX-5 versus BMW Z4 piece that will drop on the main channel right there in the little Thanksgiving afternoon. We'd love for you to watch it that we're very excited about that piece, cool thing coming also for Christmas Day to really help you with family, but this is the Thanksgiving one."
