Thanksgiving

Happy Veterans Day and Turkey Day from the Dadz R Us crew.
U1
0:09
This week, Jesse will gross out Jimmy by showing him turkey pimples, and Jimmy does not know the difference between Good Friday and Black Friday.
Let's talk Turkey
U1
Hey, welcome to dad's podcast. I'm Jesse here with my good friend Jimmy, also known as The Gobbler. 1s But 1s this is where a single dad and Mary dad can compare how great a parents we are. Who's doing it better? Who's doing it wrong? Spoiler alert I think the single dads would probably do the better.
U2
0:42
And because our hands and at 100%, you have like a 25% share.
U1
0:48
That is fair enough. My wife, my wife does 75% of the work, and I'm not going to argue that.
U2
0:55
Speaking of zits, I got one on my nose.
U1
0:57
Hurt. Can you stop picking your nose? Because I'm. We also are trying to do video. I just want to throw that out there. All right, man, let's get this started. Uh. Lessons learned. What do we learn this week going into. Well, we got two holidays coming up, Veteran's Day and Thanksgiving, and I feel like we need to talk about that.
U2
1:18
I got my list for Thanksgiving. Really didn't do too much for Veterans Day, but I will send out a hearty handshake to all you all for your great service, your time, and
U1
1:29
your efforts. Why don't you support the troops, Jimmy?
U2
1:32
Yeah, well, I do, I just I just wait till that that day so I know it's coming up.
U1
1:39
Yeah, well, I will be sure to thank my kids who are in the military. And it's the one thing we we well, we have a lot of things in common, but my favorite is that we both served, and at one point we had to show a crusty old doctor our buttholes to get in. We share that moment. Not at the same time.
U2
2:02
So was it a crusty old doctor or was your butthole
U1
2:06
crusty? 2s I to this day, I have no idea what they're they're looking for. But when you go and you join the military, they put you in a room with 30 strangers and you're all looking at each other, and you're like, okay, let's go ahead and line up against the wall. Turn around. So we're facing the wall. It's right there in our nose. And they're like, all right, drop your pants and bend over. And this doctor walks all the way down the line and he's checking each and every bajo. He doesn't say hiya, Bajo, but he looks into this day. I don't know what he's looking for, man. I don't know,
U2
2:41
maybe a balloon.
U1
2:44
Maybe we get some doctors out there and, you know, send us a line.
U2
2:47
Is this, like, basic training or like, before you leave or something? This is before the this is some sort of weird test to get into basic training. They call it maps. It's like military entry processing. So getting ready for Thanksgiving now that we got all our obligatory, you know, thank you veterans, for everything you do. Got you. Even though Jimmy doesn't care about it, he's prepared for Thanksgiving. Let's go. Thanksgiving.
U1
3:17
You're a single dad. Are you doing anything? You think you do anything different from the Merediths?
U2
3:22
Oh, yeah. Because I don't know if I had my son on Thanksgiving or not. So sometimes I'll have to get with my parents. Hey, don't have them this year. We have that the day before. Sometimes we do a week before. You know
U1
3:35
what? If your parents. What if your parents don't throw you an invite to come to Thanksgiving with them? Is that weird? And we know it would be. No, because I really enjoy the turkey and the food. Um, but don't have a problem cooking it either. Like during Covid when everybody was locked up. Like I made a feast. Dude, me and my son, dude, I made a huge dinner.
U2
4:00
Huge. Just ham. And I
U1
4:02
was at a taco bar.
U2
4:05
No, dude, it was turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, rolls. It was all the stuff we liked. And he loved it, I loved it, he loved
U1
4:13
it. When you made your turkey, did you did you know you could pop turkey zits before I showed you that video? Did you even know that was a thing? No.
U2
4:21
And now if, like, I was so gross, dude, I almost started gagging because I'm like, what is this? Like? Is this true? Did they just have a weird turkey? I've never noticed this zits on a turkey. Have you ever noticed that before? You've seen that
U1
4:34
I've always popped turkey zits.
U2
4:36
Really?
U1
4:37
If
U2
4:39
you don't know where you've been shopping. But apparently in Tokyo or wherever the hell you were at, they they.
U1
4:47
Are delivering
U2
4:48
for your turkey.
U1
4:51
I do miss Thanksgiving from Japan. You know what they do out there? Here you go. They love Kentucky Fried Chicken. I'm not making this up either. I will say that it is a a treat. They have to sign up. They do. Just fried chicken man. And it is amazing KFC man. They sell out every holiday Thanksgiving, Christmas, all that stuff. Do
U2
5:19
they sell turkey? Is there just chicken
U1
5:22
in KFC? Just chicken. Well I'm I'm just
U2
5:25
saying like in a different country mean for the holiday because here you know they on our holidays that restaurant's not even open.
U1
5:32
The worst part about it was there was a dark time in my life. Jimmy, my wife Joanie made me be vegan for some time out there. So we had a vegan Thanksgiving audience.
U2
5:43
Hence the word made me.
U1
5:49
Well, I always say the secret to any long lasting marriage is just do whatever she says. And she says, you ain't eating meat. Yes. What I'm eating, not meat. Guess what
U2
6:01
she says, guess what happens. You're going to be eating meat in the bedroom. Okay,
U1
6:06
okay, okay. Jesus, kid. It doesn't. The kids didn't seem to mind. Cazalet rolls. Your kid just eat rolls. You. You create this feast. You know, like I just want eight rolls of butter, please.
U2
6:20
He mean, got to limit his rolls, but, I mean, he does eat the other stuff, but he does probably thirds on on the rolls, but was the same way. I love I love my bread, dude. I am the same exact way. Oh, man. Do you, do you do the traditional foods? Because when I was growing up, we had very specific cuisine, and it wasn't until I traveled the world and ate Thanksgiving. When you're a young guy and single, you get invited over for the holidays. You see what other people make, and there was a lot of different things out there. I didn't know Mac, mac and cheese was a thing for Thanksgiving. Yeah, no,
U1
7:01
you don't do that either. Okay, so I didn't either. Maybe it's a southern thing. You
U2
7:06
know, what is another popular dish for as a green bean casserole? I'm not a fan. I've never
U1
7:14
had it. I am not either. And I actually did some checking up on this. Do you know when that was actually first introduced? Mainstream into Thanksgiving. You can guess a year, I guess a decade. Uh,
U2
7:33
1980s
U1
7:34
1955. Really? Yeah. So that. I can't think of any a lot of great food coming out of the 50s, because I think of the weird gelatin dishes and stuff where they used to mix in vegetables, I don't know. So green bean casserole, 1955 mainstream and probably the modern day Pinterest back then, probably in some magazine. And everybody thought it was the greatest thing, right?
U2
7:59
Right, right.
U1
8:00
I'll eat it. I will never make it the rest of the year. But don't you know if my wife makes it? Yeah, I'll. I'll eat it. 1s I mean, I don't say no.
U2
8:11
Ours is the traditional turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, corn rolls, canned cranberry sauce. And then my mom does make a deviled egg platter. Oh, man. Love those.
U1
8:27
Okay, so that's another one. I realized I only did the deviled eggs on Easter so poorly. Deviled eggs? Any holiday, right?
U2
8:35
She does Christmas and Thanksgiving with the deviled eggs. And they're usually the first things to go like, everybody is like, oh, I'll just have one. That one turns into three for everybody and they're gone. And you know,
U1
8:48
I eat eggs very quickly. I wonder what the appeal is. I don't
U2
8:52
know. And, you know, they're easy to make. Don't ever make them for a snack or anything either. They're so easy to make. It's just, you know, mayonnaise. Think mustard and some paprika. Think. And that's it.
U1
9:04
The next time my wife asked me what I want for dinner, I'm going to say, can you make me a plate full of deviled eggs just to see what she says?
U2
9:13
And while she'll probably have you sleeping outside,
U1
9:15
do. They're not. They're not vegan.
U2
9:19
Well, no. Oh,
U1
9:20
talk about the gas. Yes. Yeah. Yes.
U2
9:24
Yeah. Yeah. They're not very they're very pleasant. But you know what else my mom does to it. And it's not a very big get together at my mom's. It's my brother, his wife, me and my son, my mom, my dad. She makes like, this huge vegetable tray, which nobody really eats. She. You know how I eat a couple of
U1
9:42
cucumbers? Yeah. That's the first thing like throwing out. We start talking about cranberries in the can. But back to the farting. I don't at this point in my marriage. Now, if you go back in history, I accidentally farted in front of my wife on her, like first or second date and in front of her dad. Total accident. So I have that has to stop me from farting. And she said to me today that it is her dream that my.
U2
10:10
You give her a Dutch oven. No,
U1
10:12
man, she should do this crap to me. Is that our three boys would have girlfriends all at the same time and over for the holidays, because she's so sick of Taylor, Troy, Brody and me just go to town with a far contest. She's sick of it. She sick it all the guys.
U2
10:30
So she wants the girls to join in the farting contest. Oh, that's what I
U1
10:34
should do. So. Oh my gosh. If you start talking about traditions now as a general unwritten rule, I don't know why this happens, but all three of my boys can't have girlfriends at the same time. Now, granted, the 13 year old is the least likely to have a girlfriend, right? Unfortunately.
U2
10:50
Well, even if he did, I really don't think she's coming over at this age for Thanksgiving for a farting contest.
U1
10:57
Broken homes nowadays, you never know, it might be a better place. But I'm with you. I'm with you and I don't. I don't want my 13 year old to date a girl whose family would say, yeah, go over to some random boy's house for the holidays.
U2
11:11
Yeah, for the holidays. Like
U1
11:13
that. So,
U2
11:14
like, imagine your first time, like, going. No, you probably didn't have a lot of first time, but even at 18, 19 and 20 go into a new place for a holiday with, you know, a significant other. That was awkward. You imagine if that started at 13, 14 years old.
U1
11:30
I stayed in my wife and our first month we we first date was October. Boom. Right into Thanksgiving. And I got invited over to my boss's house. That was like a real military thing to do. Oh, you're in the dorms. I was like, well, hang out my girlfriend. They're like, oh, I'll bring her. I learned a lot of things that day. That was also the first time I ever had to buy her a tampon. Had to go to a gas station, pick up tampons. I've been dating her a month. I thought that was like, wow, this must be getting serious. We went to my boss's house. They made fun of me the entire time. They're like, hey, Joanie wants a Coke. Joanie wants this. And I kept getting up to, like, get her. And they're like. And they thought it was the most hilarious thing. I was so hooked.
U2
12:13
I say, how many times did you hear that?
U1
12:17
And that was, we called it whipped back in the 90s with
U2
12:21
an opposite.
U1
12:23
I was in love. And guess what, I didn't care. Fun fact pretty sure all those old timers are all divorced right now, so suck it. Two. Oh. Bad news. My 13 year old broke up with his girlfriend, so he's back on the market. Yeah, he said he doesn't feel quick. Yeah. It was. He got his first kiss and said, I'm done with this. And I think what it was was he wanted to play Fortnite all weekend. And right now I thought he was done with the Fortnite, but apparently all the middle school boys are talking about it this week. I that is so funny. You said that first thing my son said when I picked him up today. It was like, dad, you're not gonna believe it. Fortnite kind of like started over. It went back to chapter one. I was like three. I never played it. No, I get to play
U2
13:11
all the chapters though. He was so excited. And then I looked at him and said, man, that sucks for you. He goes, oh, he goes, remember Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. You don't get the okay
U1
13:24
insight. 2s Forgot about the math. We should
U2
13:28
have seen the look on this kid's face like, oh, didn't forget. You know
U1
13:33
what? You're still there to tell him what he needs to do. I don't know what these people have. Fortnite are doing, but they have some sort of secret magic mojo with a kid psyche. Because now my son, he comes up to me and my wife, he goes, all right, I want X, Y, or Z, and it's $14. And my wife looks at it and she goes, this set is $14 each month, like a subscription. He goes, yeah, like he's nobody. He has no concept, right? She's like
U2
14:02
nope. Yeah. No, he's he went through the spending stage of Fortnite like he got the
U1
14:09
the the dress, the dress up dolls, the skins. You're paying $5 to do dress up a digital doll.
U2
14:17
And they had no. Did your son ever have a fashion show?
U1
14:21
There were kids out there that like, there's rooms you go into for a fashion show. I mean, this is a totally
U2
14:28
different subject. We need to stick to the Thanksgiving. But yeah,
U1
14:32
well, he's done. He's done lessons learned. What do we learned leading up to Thanksgiving here? Uh, relationship stuff, parenting advice. And we're going to go full circle back to. All right, Thanksgiving. You talk about turkey. I learned this this week. The modern day turkey that we eat. And I only thought it's because I've got wild turkeys that show up in my backyard. Apparently if I shoot and eat those, they taste horrible. The modern day turkey is domesticated from. Guess where?
U2
15:00
Who's that behind you?
U1
15:02
That's a YouTube, bro. No,
U2
15:04
dude. Like she's there. Dude, that girl was staring right at me. Now you look too late. She was, like, staring right into my soul, dude.
U1
15:10
No, you realize I see what you're seeing on my computer. Oh, okay. I see just technology is. We're horrible at this again. Watching you talk to me. It's like watching my parents program a VCR. I amaze to this day how this happens.
U2
15:27
No. All right. So.
U1
15:28
All right. Modern day turkey. Turkey? Yep. This. It's from Mexico. So thank our Hispanic family to the south for our modern day cuisine, for
U2
15:41
our American tradition.
U1
15:44
Pretty much. Yeah. Same goes for corn. Corn turkey. Oh, there's probably something else. So
U2
15:51
why don't you talk about this TikTok video you sent me today?
U1
15:56
All right, man, let's keep up with pop culture. We're going to move on next. Next little bit here. Pop culture keeping dads informed I saw a TikTok video of a turkey getting prepared. You sure you ain't got Covid? They're in the cage,
U2
16:13
dude. No, I just smoked grass. Dude, my allergies are kicking out.
U1
16:19
I told you I just came in. Oh, dude,
U2
16:21
that hurts. It hurts though. Stop picking your nose right there. It hurts.
U1
16:27
Gonna grow that mustache. Cover that up. All right, so 1s this lady is on the internets massaging this turkey in there, like, popped zits and their stuff coming like it was. So
U2
16:39
I'm like, it was. So I'm
U1
16:40
like, I'm pretty sure it's fake, but I cried and sent it to everybody. I could
U2
16:47
like to ruin people's Thanksgiving. Now, when I see the next time I cook a turkey, I'm going to be looking for like these lumps.
U1
16:55
So night life just had one of my favorite comedians, Nate Vargas. You know who he is. He does the best best bits. On being married and being a dad. So he's doing Saturday Night Live and he was basically he always talks about the 80s because he's close to our age, and his dad was a magician and went to carnivals and stuff like that. And he tells a story about orangutans. Uh, his dad would be doing magic. There'd be donkeys, you know, jumping or diving into stuff. His dad's competing for attention. And then people, people would sit there and and pay to go fight an orangutan. And he says it's before the internet. So they couldn't find out that their ring attendant will beat your ass 1s because word of mouth apparently wouldn't get around. I thought that was cool 1s in what made me think of it. He does another bit where he's George Washington this Saturday Night Live, and basically makes fun of the way we do measurements. You know, we have in a. Busted out to the metric system, which.
U2
18:06
Full
U1
18:06
circle. Not to mention, not
U2
18:08
to mention fluffing. And they tape measure.
U1
18:12
That again. It's a save. Some girls for the rest of us. It's amazing you're single with these lines. All right. George Washington was the first president to announce an official day of thanks Thanksgiving for to give thanks and give prayer. Guess. And that was in 1789. So that is my pop culture. I've got some other stuff, you know, about the Lions. That's always a tradition in Detroit. Well, do
U2
18:39
you have any, like, family traditions for the holiday? When
U1
18:43
I was younger, there was a couple times we'd we have to wake up super early. Go downtown Detroit and take a frozen turkey and go bowling. Some radio station would hold these contests. They drill holes into a frozen turkey, and we try to chuck it on an ice rink and knock down three pins. If you knock down three pins, you win a turkey. We'd never win. Then we'd go sit down. Did
U2
19:07
you win the turkey that they drilled the holes on?
U1
19:10
Man that had so much, it looked like it had zits popped. It was just, you know, meat flying everywhere, just turkey meat all over. And
U2
19:19
so that must have been like like in the 80s. Dude, imagine the the disease is going around that that room, dude.
U1
19:27
No sanitizer. Yeah. It was like half the size that they are now. 1s They weren't they weren't quite as domesticated for Mexico. So I know. Right. Yeah. So then we'd go to a Thanksgiving parade. And even as a kid, I thought parades were the dumbest thing ever. So
U2
19:45
do I'm not a fan either. I don't get it. I
U1
19:48
mean, we're just going to go out there, stand in the cold and watch people wave at us, and maybe they'll throw a Tootsie Roll at us. I already know how you feel about Tootsie Rolls and then a giant balloon, and that's going to be the most exciting thing. Not pass.
U2
20:01
I think they think they did it for Santa at the end. Well,
U1
20:05
yeah, look, it probably right. But we just needed to pass the time because a couple of times we went to to watch the Lions 1s annual tradition was watching the Lions get slaughtered by guess they weren't too bad when I was growing up. They still lately they have been, but not this year. Their overall record on Thanksgiving Day. 37 wins, 43 losses and two ties. I keep forgetting and football loves ties. 1s First game, 1934. So when everyone here, everyone I've been across the country and I've met a lot of football fans all over and they're like, this sucks. We none of us want to watch the Lions. So they always get like the best team in the world to play against the Lions, which means we're going to smoked. But back in 1934, nobody wanted to watch football to say in in the lines like, yeah, well, what the hell, we'll play in Thanksgiving. And guess what? They helped make it a tradition. So that's why they get a game. So and the Cowboys somehow got the afternoon game. And enough of the owners quibbled and whine, much like all of NCAA football is whining about Michigan football for cheating. Anyways, they added a third Thanksgiving game, which I'm actually. I'm all for more football on Thanksgiving, the better. Oh, I got another another little tidbit for pop culture. Before we can, we could do some more kid updates, maybe some lingo, maybe some things I've learned from my kids. Nicolas Cage is making headlines again. Good friend of the show, Nic Cage.
U2
21:36
That's right. Be here
U1
21:37
soon. If you're out there listening, Nic, you're making headlines. What I read was that you did not get into movies to make memes, and I commend you for that because memes are pretty recent. Have you been doing this? You've been doing this for 40 years. That's right. Now
U2
21:58
what a 1s what a tidbit 1s he's got. Like there's like a million followers on Reddit saying Nicolas Cage is the one and only true Lord, and he's got like, like videos three minutes straight of him just freaking out and like a compilation and all his different films. I'm telling you, it's amazing. You know, and people say, like, Jim Carrey is the same guy in every movie. I'm not saying Nic Cage has got range, man, but when you put those videos together, they all look like
U1
22:29
you do the same movie. Yeah, man. Uh oh. Well, uh, you guys didn't add anything. Pop culture or anything. Anything new? Anything.
U2
22:37
I mean, our traditions. Uh, on my dad's side. So everybody does their own thing for Easter. Easter? What am I talking about for
U1
22:47
Thanksgiving? You just want to get that Tiger game next Easter so bad. Oh, deviled eggs dude. Can't think he
U2
22:54
might. He might throw some double eggs in my pocket for that game. No, but, uh, so what we do,
U1
22:59
don't do that. So what
U2
23:01
we do is actually there. We had a Facebook. We have a Facebook group on right now. People are talking about it. But what we've been doing for the last probably ten years is so everyone does their own thing on Thanksgiving. Well, on Good Friday we always meet at a different pizzeria establishment. Okay. Can I stop you right there? When you say Good Friday, you're talking about fucking
U1
23:27
Easter again. Say Black Friday 1s night. 2s Daylight. Any time, man. You're still catching up.
U2
23:37
I've been. I've been tired all day. All on Black Friday.
U1
23:43
We get it?
U2
23:45
That's what we do. We meet at a different pizzeria every year. Little family. So every year we have a different pizzeria place that we go to. And these people aren't too pleased because you got, you know, 15, 20 people just pile and then just order
U1
23:57
pizza, pizza, pizza. They don't want the awesome loss in clan.
U2
24:02
Might have to get some glasses dude. So I can just stream live from there so you guys can just, you know, see that
U1
24:09
comedians live. Can you make a. Can you make a vote or a pitch to. You said any pizzeria, right. Can you do chuck-e-cheese maybe this year.
U2
24:18
Well, you know what's funny? It's funny you say that because one of my aunts were like, hey, instead of doing the traditional pizzeria place, why don't we go to this place in Woodhaven that has axe throwing so the kids have something to do? It's good Friday said. That's a date place. These people are going there on a Friday with date friends groups, and you're going to have 12 kids from 4 to 14 running around. No. It's no. Well,
U1
24:48
here's my take on that is I told you how boring parades are. I think a close second is axe throwing. Well, that's just like darts for people who can't play darts. And it's like what you do at once. You're like, okay, now I feel like I know what it's like to grow up in the backwoods of Arkansas with no TV. You do it for 30 minutes. You're like, okay, I'm bored. I don't want to do this anymore.
U2
25:15
I mean, honestly, I don't even sound fun to me now. I'm paying extra for stuff that I don't want to do. Like I don't want to throw an axe anyway to begin with and don't want to pay $8 for a beer. You
U1
25:25
know when I can go to a pizza? No, I'm not gonna do. No, no.
U2
25:29
Nope. And and then my son. Oh, there's going to be a video game there. Oh. So now I got to spend $25 for, for tokens for, for him to entertain himself. No, he can go while he's been doing the last ten years and go to the pizzeria, bring his own toys, sit in a corner and play I. I'm with you, man. We're in agreement. Violent agreement here because. One. Every axe throwing place around me here in ho town. Oh town ho fallin. Yeah, it's gone out of business. And where I've only the only places like blockbuster. They're like. Yeah, this is not a sustainable business. The places that have, like, a multitude of things to do might have 2 or 3 places where you can have axes being thrown, like I've seen it at kids trampoline park. You know what I'm saying, right? It's. But it's not the main attraction, the video games. What was wrong with the whole concept of an arcade? When did we go to this weird video games by token or hey, cost $1.31? Here's a card, let's preload it with funds in this video game costs $1.31. It's just the weirdest thing, man, I don't know. Yeah, so
U1
26:43
good old days. Yeah. Me
U2
26:44
too. Is it me, or is that guy behind you kind of look like me? That was fat. Oh. He's gone.
U1
26:50
I know, and I don't remember his name, but he was. He's a famous weatherman from the 80s that at one time was Ronald McDonald. And maybe someone from the audience knows exactly who I'm describing, 1s whatever I. Now I have commercials with Ronald Reagan playing in the background. So, um,
U2
27:12
how was working on Thanksgiving back when you were, you know, in the middle of the military?
U1
27:21
I missed a lot of Thanksgivings being deployed last year. My oldest son, Taylor, he wasn't, you know, he was deployed. So he had Thanksgiving with all his comrades out in Kuwait. Uh, it's it's kind of weird, man. Um, well, it's funny you say that because now I'm getting flooded with even more nostalgia. When I was younger, I was deployed. That was the day where we'd go to the chow hall, wherever country we're in, and all the leadership was out there, and they. They plopped a turkey on your tray. They'd give you the mashed potatoes. And it was it was like reminiscing of, like World War II when, hey, we got a turkey. It was like the greatest thing ever.
U2
28:04
Now, is it real turkey, or was it like the processed stuff?
U1
28:08
I think it was real. I don't I don't ask these questions, man. Well, was there
U2
28:13
was there a bird being carved?
U1
28:16
Uh, it was, it was very pretty on a
U2
28:18
platter. Yeah. It was,
U1
28:20
you know, like a buffet line and
U2
28:23
and it probably tasted good anyway, no matter what. Oh, yeah.
U1
28:25
100%. I'm like. And I just, I just laughed because I'm like, oh, thanks, Colonel. Thank you for your service. So like, oh, thank you for serving my my food. You're serving leadership. Could you go
U2
28:36
up for a second 100%. Really nice.
U1
28:39
Yeah, as much as much as I wanted. And then near the end of my career, when I became a commander, they're like, okay, what time do you want to go up there and hand out mashed potatoes? I was like, oh man, really? Nobody wants to get their food for me. So I would sit up there at the line and hand out food. And when you
U2
28:59
came home from being deployed, did you guys did you have like Thanksgiving when you came home or it was just now you just missed it. You made your calls like Happy Thanksgiving went on your day.
U1
29:11
Months, months have gone by, you know, same with Christmas.
U2
29:15
Well, that's I didn't know if you came home. And one, one whole day you're like, all right, honey. Well, so from 8 a.m. till noon is Thanksgiving and from noon to four is Christmas. And then from 5 to 6, we'll do our birthday. So I wasn't sure on how that went. The
U1
29:31
first thing I wanted, I wanted to do one thing when I got back from the deployment. And 2s oh, that's when you find out just how much your kids, how much they love you and unintentionally are blocking you like crazy. Two years ago, Taylor, he invited a bunch of his coworkers airmen that could go home for Thanksgiving over to our house to eat with us. And I asked him and my other son, Troy. I'm like, are you going to do that again? Do I, you know, have to cook for a lot of kids? He goes, no. He goes, I am done mixing my personal life with my professional life. And I thought that was a weird, like, corporate thing to say because in the military, they try to make this thing where everybody's family. And I just thought these, these kids would come over and they just probably felt awkward watching my sons rap battle and don't watch football. And they're like, all right, man, we ate. Can we leave now? You're like, yes, you can leave. 3s I don't know. So this this year is just going to be just small family man. Like, no, no, no green bean casserole. Uh oh God. Moving into Turkey. 1s Did that one year. It was. It was crazy. Did Cornish hens another year. You just some some some crazy stuff.
U2
31:00
Do you ever have a turducken?
U1
31:04
Oh, man. So I, I wanted that's a good. I've never even heard of that until I watched in football. And John Madden said something like that. What is a turducken anyways?
U2
31:18
It's a chicken stuffed into a turkey with duck stuffed into the chicken. So inside the the cavity of the the turkey,
U1
31:29
duck, chicken and turkey. No it's
U2
31:31
turkey chicken duck because the turkey's the biggest bird.
U1
31:35
They went inside out. You went outside. Well that's fine.
U2
31:38
We got to do it the right way.
U1
31:40
My violin agreement again
U2
31:42
got because it's not. It's not called a duck chick turkey is it.
U1
31:49
What? That's called a
U2
31:51
duck in.
U1
31:53
Oh, what have you said? Like chick chick to chick duck. And that's stupid. We'll stick with turducken. It just rolls off the tongue. I'm going to ask my kids if they know what. Turkey. You know how we talked last time of the kids slang? I'm going to ask my kids if they know I have all this Thanksgiving themed slang, but it's all old. So this is the things I want to teach my kids this year. Kid updates. We'll call this kid updates turducken. I'm going to ask him about that 1s because I don't think they know it. Well, back to why I asked
U2
32:28
you is if you haven't, is it good? Oh dude it's fantastic dude. I don't know why, but it's like you just you carve into it and like, you get a little bit of it at all. And with all that, that fat from the turkey and the chicken and, you know, and duck is really greasy to begin with, you know.
U1
32:48
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Fowl. 1s This sounds like such a foul dish.
U2
32:53
It was good. I've only had it once, though, but
U1
32:56
wasted. It was good. It was very good. Maybe I'll. Maybe I'll do a request. Who knows? Oh, man. My kids call it Happy gobble Gobble day. And it was adorable when they were younger. It sounds bad now that they're adults. 1s So
U2
33:11
do you guys watch the Charlie Brown Thanksgiving? As
U1
33:15
a general rule, I only watch animated series no later than the late 70s. That one's an old one. I've seen it. 1s Yeah,
U2
33:27
that's one of our staples. We'll watch it like the second week. We didn't do a I mean, maybe not because we didn't even do. It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. Oh, yeah.
U1
33:36
They got the pumpkin one. They got the Thanksgiving one. I'm sure they got a Christmas one too.
U2
33:40
Oh they they got Christmas
U1
33:41
two. Of all the things that are like they, they decide to remake and redo now previous episodes, long time listeners who know I brought up Willy Wonka. They're on their third version going to release that. Um, I saw a preview coming out for a movie called fall Guy, based on the 1980s hit show fall Guy, and I was like, wow, man, they're going to make a movie out of that crazy. Now full circle, they need to update the animation, the sound HD, the Snoopy gang man, the peanuts reboot. Some got some modern day
U2
34:19
language. Well, I mean, they they got modern day cartoons of Charlie Brown.
U1
34:24
They probably horrible then if I've never heard of them. I mean, it is a bad idea. I mean, let's not let's not redo everything. Nothing
U2
34:31
special. So do you, uh, when you are home? And you know things are going good. Do you help your wife cook or do you?
U1
34:40
She cook it all. Mm hmm. And if it's just
U2
34:43
her, what time does she get up to start prepping and cooking?
U1
34:48
I don't know, because my tradition is go out with the boys the night before for cigars and some drinks, so I'm usually sleeping in. My wife turns into an absolute effing monster in the kitchen any holiday and I am not allowed anywhere near it. That being said. I will do anything, she says. I will help out. What happens is she does all this cooking. Make sure I'm just nowhere near her. I get stuck with cleanup and I'm good with that. Oh, and here's the other. The worst part is I have to take all the food we don't eat and put it put it in, like, Tupperware and, like, store it. Oh, I don't know why. I don't like that. I'd rather just do dishes.
U2
35:38
Speaking of leftovers, do you like making turkey sandwiches the next day or the day after? I
U1
35:47
don't have that great of Tupperware, so I can only do that for two days before I cannot. Didn't say
U2
35:52
3 or 4 days. I said the day after.
U1
35:56
The day after, yes. See,
U2
35:58
I'm not a fan. I do not like the turkey sandwiches. I don't like them personally. Me what I do is
U1
36:04
I turkey. Does he turkey well that. Well I just make a plate. I put the turkey stuffing mashed potatoes and just throw gravy on top of it. And that's what I do for my leftovers. I don't like it on the bread. When I was a kid, we need it for like probably 4 or 5 days. I hated it, like, you know, after Thanksgiving. And, well, that's what kind of stinks to about these Black Friday things because everyone still got leftovers. And here we are going to compete to revise
U2
36:33
for more leftovers because there's more beat to leftovers. So
U1
36:37
it's so great, you know? You sound like you sound like a guy who's going to need some Tupperware. This reminds me of another joke. Why did the walrus.
U2
36:44
My mom tries to send me home and I'm always like, oh, I'll grab I'll grab some tomorrow. And I never really go back. But then the days I don't bring back, they wake up the next morning like, 1s I'd really like some turkey for lunch today.
U1
36:59
You can't do it. So, hey, why is it. Why do the walrus go to the Tupperware party? Because he
U2
37:07
had leftover chick dick dirty,
U1
37:10
and he was good. He was looking for a tight seal. 2s Maybe that's not a dad joke. That's probably horrible. All your
U2
37:21
newsflash, all your dad jokes are horrible. Just not that
U1
37:25
one. Okay, well, here's an actual dad joke. That was not a dad joke. Why didn't a turkey eat on Thanksgiving?
U2
37:34
Because it had a duck and chicken stock.
U1
37:37
Well, because it was stuffed. So you're correct.
U2
37:40
Hey. Bing bing bing bing.
U1
37:45
You got one, man. Oh my gosh. Uh, I. All right, well, that's cool. My dad advice, you know, so we can wrap this up and not respect any more of our listeners time. 1s The cranberries thing.
U2
38:03
Let's not this year,
U1
38:04
fellas. Let's not do it from the can. It just looks ridiculous. Let's actually get real cranberries. And after Thanksgiving no one's going to eat those leftover anyways, right? Well, you think you think pilgrims had like, cranberries? Well, we're.
U2
38:19
Well, let me. Do you know how to make cranberry sauce? What would you do? Just smash it all up and and put it in the fridge. Because it's kind of like a jello. No, it's I don't I can't even take you serious right now. It's it's it's a different type of dish. Cranberries used to be called like bear berries. So berries, you know. Nah. No, man, they're kind of like, growing up in, like, growing in the northeast. Yeah, it's like a BlackBerry.
U1
38:49
But Joni. Joni makes them, and she makes it into a sauce, not a gelatin. It's really good. Like a
U2
38:59
sauce that you can pour on stuff like that. Thin. Yeah. Oh, okay.
U1
39:03
With chunks of berries. It's very nice. And not dingleberry. Not. No no no is not. Uh, my other dad advice I would say is just do whatever you do, whatever your kids want on Thanksgiving, make memories. I was. Dude, you stole that from me. I was going to say, you know, my dad advice is, if you wake up and, like, go to the
U2
39:27
parade, that's where you're going.
U1
39:29
You're going to the parade.
U2
39:31
But also another dad advice. If you do wind up going to someone else's house, respect it. Eat what's given to you and don't waste the food. Only put on your plate what you know. You can eat and light. And a lot of times if people ask you if you want to take a plate home, they're only being nice. Don't take one.
U1
39:53
Because that way you're being nice. You're saying it's not very good. What if, what if, what if your child says, dad, just this one day out of the year, I want you to turn off football and play Fortnite. Do it. I
U2
40:04
wouldn't 100% because actually we used to play a lot because I got the for, you know, of course he'd play on the five. So I play on for. And we'd play a little bit, you know. But as he got older, I mean, he kept on getting better and. And here I am constantly dying, just getting killed by all these sweats. They call them. Dude, daddy was a sweat. You got killed by a sweat. You got poned. But
U1
40:28
now poned me now, dude,
U2
40:30
he's so good. Like, I still can't build this day. Dude, I still can't build a nice Fortnite fort, dude. Like, ding ding ding. Sounds like, you know,
U1
40:41
it's like Call of Duty arts and crafts. You got pwned, which means pounded and owned.
U2
40:45
They came out with a new modern warfare. Oh, I need to get that.
U1
40:49
Can we. Can you let me in this show?
U2
40:53
Stop bringing up. Stop bringing up. Good, good, good discussions.
U1
40:59
Yeah, 1s we're. We are overgrown children.
U2
41:03
Yeah. It's okay. That's what that's that's what makes us laugh and and live life to the fullest, man. So happy Thanksgiving to you and yours and the rest. The to have a safe one. Don't eat too much and you'll be hearing
U1
41:17
back from Gucci. Keep
U2
41:19
a Gucci keep keep it keep it Gucci not Chucky keep it sugar
U1
41:24
that'll.
