By popular request, it’s time for the Purple Stuff Podcast to tackle another old Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade!

This year, we’re diving deep into the *1990* parade, featuring everything from the Tiny Toons to the Ninja Turtles to the world’s biggest photobomb by the world’s biggest Quik Bunny.It’s on your (regular) podcast feeds now, but here’s a direct link if you wanna hop right in.

Next on deck is our November bonus show, exclusively for those of you on our $6+ tier. This should drop either just before or just after Thanksgiving, so maybe we can be a part of your post-turkey lazy weekend? (We’d be honored!)

Seriously guys - this show is fantastic. I was really hoping for another in depth look at a Macy’s parade and you totally delivered. I’m proud to support this podcast and anyone on the fence about it should just do it! This Thanksgiving I’m thankful for the Purple Stuff Podcast!

I agree with TomW. I’ve really enjoyed both of the Macy’s Parade episodes! Hopefully we can look forward to more of these in the coming years. You guys have become a huge part of my holidays! Also, did y’all catch the end credits on the Simpsons Thanksgiving of Horror tonight?? 😆

rofl this was the 2nd and final time deborah norville hosted the parade. She was canned from Today while she was pregnant in mid 1991, and our girl Katie Couric took over. I wish they had brought back Bart for this year, considering that the 30th anniversary of the christmas special is this year -- although I know that Bart broke every.year. he was at the parade.

I am totally with Matt and cannot get enough of mother fucking Fred Travalena! Inject that cheeseball shit right into my veins. Not one laugh from anyone, no reaction from the crowd. The elf below him is considering suicide. Just fantastic.

The Fantasticks got an off-Broadway revival four years after it closed and ran for another decade. The show had a pretty decent standing; this wasn't this guy's one and only chance for a wide audience. While it's true that it played in a shitty little theatre in the Village (which was closed down the day the show itself closed), it was a widely-respected and beloved show. Off-Broadway ranges from two rows of folding chairs in a basement on Avenue A to smack in the theatre district with prices comparable to Broadway. It gets a bit of a shitty reputation for basically being "not Broadway," but nine times out of ten, the shows are better. Creativity and heart count more, because they don't need to fill 1,500 seats per show. And some of the venues are considered pretty elite, as in "might as well be Broadway." (I will white knight off-Broadway as a concept until the day I die. You really do see the most special things there.) That said, that poor asshole. It was like the bunny knew what it was doing.

Since my mom and I had listened to the episode last week (we are huge Macy's Parade fans), we watched this parade on youtube on Thanksgiving night. We laughed until we were gasping for air. Now I'm getting my mom a Roku for Christmas so she can watch all the old parades on youtube whenever she wants.
