On this Thanksgiving Eve, Phil talks with Ted Bell in a far ranging interview. The Beverly Hills restaurantuer tells Phil he does not serve Thanksgiving turkey at his restaurant because it attracts "losers who come shuffling in and then order off the appetizer menu." Ted went on to tell Phil that in 1983 when the annual Army-Navy football game traveled to the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, he decided to put on a promotion for Thanksgiving. The game was such a bust with very little interest there was no business for his restaurant either. Ted told Phil's audience he went into his office that night, pulled "a bottle of Stoly from a desk drawer and within 20 minutes I was slobbering drunk. They had to call my wife." Since then, once a year on the anniversary of the Army-Navy game, Ted hates the military.
