The Claw Pod

Thanksgiving at the Von Erich ranch gets loud, rowdy, and full of heart on this week’s episode of The Claw Pod. Kevin, Ross and Marshall sit down with AntMan as the whole family – including Lacey, Holly, and their kids – invade the house for a holiday packed with big personalities, backyard wrestling, and a lot of gratitude. They share stories about how Marshall got his nickname, (Dutch) the uncanny charm and presence of Lacey’s son Daniel (who’s training to be a Navy SEAL), and how it feels to see so much of their Uncle Kerry’s spirit living on in the next generation. There’s talk of Cowboys football, high school highlight reels, future college dreams, and even “Iron Claw–only” Thanksgiving hunting at the ranch. Plus, the guys tease a future appearance from RJ City, debate cranberry sauce, brag on Amanda’s legendary meatloaf, and close things out with a simple Thanksgiving prayer and Christmas blessing for everyone listening.****************Be sure to connect with us!Ask your questions via email: [email protected]: https://www.Instagram.com/TheClawPodTikTok: https://www.TikTok.com/@TheClawPodX: https://www.X.com/TheClawPodFaceBook: https://www.FaceBook.com/TheClawPod
