the holidays

Tonight on the Show, we bid farewell to the year that really wasn't. 2020, a year that was lost. COVID-19. Systemic Racism. A heated Presidential Election. Here at home, the Crew won The Cup, House Bill 6 forced a switch in Leadership in the State Legislature, and the most violent year in Columbus.

Tonight on the Show, The Game? or NOT The Game? Every year since 1918, the Michigan Wolverines and the Ohio Football Team have played annually, and since 1935, the final game of the Big Ten Regular Season. However, due to a COVID-19 outbreak at Michigan, that is up in the air (EDIT: Tuesday afternoon, #TheGame is officially OFF).

Tonight on the show, this is our 10th Annual Thanksgiving Show, and our 360th Show.

- The Latest in COVID-19 in Columbus. Franklin County is under a Stay at Home Advisory, which means that it is recommended that you leave only for essential items. The State of Ohio is under a 21-Day Curfew between the hours of 10PM and 5AM. Community Leaders and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) discourage traveling for Thanksgiving, or celebrating Thanksgiving outside of where you currently live, in order to stop the spread of COVID-19.
- The Revenge Tour Round-Up: Joe Milton, we hardly knew ye. The Cade McNamERA has begun at Michigan, as the redshirt Sophomore Quarterback lifted Michigan from a 17-point hole to a triple-overtime win at lowly Rutgers (yeah, the same New Jersey school Harbaugh's teams have outscored 256-37 the last FIVE years).
- The Weekend Warrior: Where the Light Shows and Virtual Tree Lightings Are.

Tonight on the Show, Santa Claus makes his annual flight around the World. And it's Christmas Eve. The second time that The DJBC Happy Hour has aired on Christmas Eve (2012 being the other year), and the last time until 2029 (unless the show moves to another night and time).

The Weekend Warrior returns to preview The Big Explore, which is in commemoration of the 75th Anniversary of the Columbus Foundation, December 29. SIX Local Museums will have FREE Admission, and COTA will have FREE bus service ALL Day on that Saturday (I deliberately left out the part about the 75 cent cones of Jeni's Ice Cream on purpose).

And Mrs. Claus predicts the Peach (Saturday at NOON on ESPN) and Rose (New Year's Day at 5PM on ESPN) Bowls, with a Special Guest, and a couple of Elves.

Next week ONLY, the show will air LIVE at 8PM EST. I'll try to cut in at 7:59, but I'm going to perfect it. I swear.

Tonight on the Show:
- The Game: The Revenge Tour comes to an abrupt halt, as the Buckeyes slaughter That Team Up North, 62-39. The most combined points in the rivalry history, and the most points scored by Ohio State in the history of the rivalry (surpassing the old record of 50, twice set by Woody Hayes: 1961 and 1968). What's next for Ohio State and Michigan. Was this Urban Meyer (and Dwayne Haskins)'s last game at the Shoe?
- The Weekend Warrior: The Final Weekend Warrior before Christmas Eve runs through Holiday Lighting events throughout the Columbus area, plus a couple of non-holiday events, such as Creative Mornings, The Sergeant Peppercorn Marathon, and Columbus Children's Theatre's Nat King Cole Fundraiser Concert.
- Giving Tuesday: #GivingTuesday is November 27. Donate online to http://www.wcrsfm.org, to help keep WCRS FM alive for future generations to come (I have Show # 300 to look forward to next year, so make that big donation!)
