Love these episodes!

Lincoln Thorn

Your podcast are often the highlight of my day! Very exciting.

Jeff Konopka

Stoked! I listen to all of these, every Thanksgiving - while I cook/clean/lounge like Garfield, lol. Always a highlight of my Holiday season 😁 🦃🎄 🎁

Bryan Gerace

Spider-Man is finally coming back to this year’s parade!

RyHoMagnifico

Thanks for this! I was thinking I'd revisit some older episodes. Nice to have a handy dandy list!

ah I LOVE these episodes - they're essentially everything that encapsulates your magic. :) Echoes of XE and the old articles I would read in the mid 2000s (just that now I get to hear Matt and Jay talk through them as well; and pretend they're hanging out next to me as I take the train in to work in the mornings!). PS: Matt - I can't be the first person to have pointed this out, but you and Jay have essentially become our world's version of Knacks and Kuse for each holiday season at this point!

I watched the 1980 parade last year, and it was so amusing at how slapdash the parade looked back then. So gritty, I loved it. Todd Bridges sang a disco song!

I think these have become my favorite episodes you guys do. SO excited for another one. I’m already hearing that turkey gobbling transition sound every time I see some “stuffing flavored” chip bag or something.

These episodes have been a tradition while I wait for family to m arrive

These always end up being some of my favorite episodes! Also the 🎶try to remember 🎶 bit is an all time great!

Relistening all week!!! Still can’t believe you two did a whole segment about the Four Tops float and Levi Stubbs in particular and yet no mention of it being 1988 and he was still hot from starring as Audrey II in Little Shop of Horrors!!! Even his singing voice during their songs sounded just like Audrey from the movie! It was running ten times a day on HBO by ’88 lol.

Can't wait for this year's parade podcast! Thanksgiving is my 2nd favorite holiday. I like to listen to your parade podcast while preparing the feast!

Re-listen to these every year…thank you for the list all in one spot! This may be my favorite episode of the year…it’s like the perfect memory conveyer belt of stuff from when we were kids! Float after float, balloon after balloon of cartoons/toys/music/ and random weirdness! 😂. Thank you guys for still doing these parade reviews!!

Jason McFiggins

Does anyone know what year the cast from You Can't Do That on Television was in the parade?

Candy

These are all my favorite episodes. 💕
