For this evening's question of the Nite, Pete asks all of us about our favorite Thanksgiving side dishes. We take your calls and texts on why mashed potatoes are clearly the superior side.

At the bottom of the hour, Pete is joined by PBS Wisconsin producer Grant Fenster, one of the minds behind Bucky, an upcoming documentary about the UW Madison mascot. There is a surprisingly deep history to uncover, and Grant gives us a peek at what we'll learn from the film that debuts on December 2nd.
