Step back in time with me to a Thanksgiving unlike any other, deep in the Smoky Mountains with the enigmatic Dipweed family. My father, tasked with documenting their unique lifestyle for a major magazine, brought me along for an experience that still lingers in my memory. From the self-sufficiency of the Dipweeds to the authoritative yet Bigfoot-believing Bubba, this episode serves up a feast for the senses. We'll regale you with tales of wild, foraged banquets, and a Thanksgiving dinner shrouded in mystery, orchestrated by Bubba himself, complete with a secret hunt that promised to be nothing short of 'epic'.

As the night falls on that fateful gathering, I'll reveal the eerie aftermath of a celestial encounter that left us all questioning the very fabric of reality. Imagine our astonishment when we discovered the fate of a pig, wrapped in a material neither from our wardrobe nor our world, and the smoky flavor of an extraterrestrial crash site that seasoned our meal. Join us for the spine-tingling conclusion of this unforgettable Thanksgiving story, and maybe, just maybe, you'll find yourself looking up at the stars with a new sense of wonder—and a hint of trepidation—long after our voices have faded into the whispering shadows of the night.
