Speaker 2:And welcome to a very special episode of the Trout Stream. I am Harry Troutman and with me, as always, is my co-host. I am hungry for Thanksgiving. My co-host, paul Troutman. Buddy, this is the Thanksgiving turkey trot, turkey special gobbler. What other buzzwords can I throw out there? Listen, this is going to be weird for you. I see you. You're twitching, you're anxious. You don't know what's going to happen. You don't know what's coming out of my mouth. This is a one-take, one-shot, unscripted, unguided episode all about Thanksgiving.
Speaker 2:Probably the greatest holiday known to the country. Fourth of july is definitely better for me, but it's up there okay, yep, yeah, top three, you got.
Speaker 3:Uh, fourth of july, thanksgiving christmas, I guess, I mean obviously see, this is where I differ from you, my.
Speaker 2:So it goes. Fourth of j, thanksgiving and then Arbor Day.
Speaker 3:Oh, Arbor Day. Arbor Day is a good one. June 14th of Flag Day is also one of my favorites.
Speaker 2:See, I was going to say Flag Day, but I knew you knew Flag Day. Yeah, I know Flag Day. I had to reach into my bag of holidays. It's a good bag, full out. Arbor Day.
Speaker 2:It's about the trees right, yes, arbors are trees. Ang has this sign and it says Welcome Home. And the O is actually a little magnet and you can put different things on there. There's an egg, there's a heart, there's a bumblebee, there's a flower, you know different cute little things. And one is a orange leaf and she goes what's this one for? Obviously it's fall, but I said Arbor Day. Well, facts, Arbor Day, 100%. So, yes, we celebrate Arbor Day in this house, very seriously.
Speaker 3:No, we take it seriously. We are from Tree City, USA.
Speaker 2:We are, which you know. There are other tree cities. Yeah, on base it's Tree City USA. I didn't know that. I thought we were special, so did I. I may or may not have acquired that sign at some point in my life, but anyway, we're going to move past that because what's it called? Because of statute of limitations, it's close. What does your house smell like right now?
Speaker 3:Right now, it smells like pecan pie.
Speaker 2:I don't think I've ever actually had pecan pie.
Speaker 3:Really I love it.
Speaker 2:It's amazing. It's got to be one of the safer pies for you, isn't it? It is.
Speaker 3:That's why I made the cookies. Sabrina sent me the recipe. She messaged me can you make this? I don't even read it. I said, yep, I can make it Sure it could have been in Taj Mahal 2.0. I'm like, yeah, I can make it, sure it could have been in Taj Mahal 2.0, and I'm like, yeah, I can make it, I'll make anything. Mixed it all up. It calls for an egg. Did the egg replacement right? Got everything going Dough turned out just great.
Speaker 3:What is the egg replacement? You can use unsweetened applesauce tofu. You can blend up tofu, real fine. But we have this powder stuff from Somebody's mill. It's a tablespoon of this powder stuff. Two tablespoons of water per egg, whisk it up, let it sit there and it gels up Like if you just whisk an egg. It's the craziest thing in the world. And then I made the cookies. I had to make the pecan Down South Harry's pecans. I had to make the pecan Down South Harry's pecans Pecan yes. So I had to make the filling. I filled the cookies up and I underestimated how much the cookies were going to expand. And so I made a sheet pan cookie with pecan dressing on top. Oh, that's a good way to sell it, dude, not aesthetically pleasing. I had to cut my cookies with a pizza cutter. Okay, but delicious.
Speaker 2:My house currently smells like ham.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah.
Speaker 2:Ham tonight for dinner. It's Angie's first time making deviled eggs. Oh yeah, I got to try six of them. They were delicious. I bet they were my stomach's a little upset, but I will have farts ready to go for tomorrow. Absolutely you got pregame for that. So I'm sitting here thinking your daughter For those who don't know or may have forgot is allergic to eggs. I'm thinking of everything you guys cannot have at Thanksgiving a typical Thanksgiving, yeah there's a lot. Wow.
Speaker 2:I mean minus the deviled eggs. No coleslaw. Do they do coleslaw down south? Not really. They got to no.
Speaker 3:No, it's not as big down here.
Speaker 2:Okay, you get all the veggies.
Speaker 3:We got veggies, you'd be surprised. Gravy, if you use packet gravy, there's egg in it. That's why Because egg is a cheap filler, cheap filler, cheap binder A lot of your pre-made stuff, your packets and everything. So a lot of your Pre Pre-made stuff, you know your packets and everything That'll have egg in it. Yeah, we found out the hard way A few times, yeah, Live and learn.
Speaker 2:Now, what food are you excited for the most tomorrow, I've gotta say.
Speaker 3:Sweet potato casserole. Yeah, yeah, cause I'm making it as well. Oh yeah, you're making it as well.
Speaker 2:You're making it mom's way, yeah.
Speaker 3:Mom's way with a twist. Yeah, I'm making my own little twist. I can't use somebody else's recipe 100%. I have to use their recipe and make it one modification. Therefore, it becomes my recipe Smart. So I'm early settlers, I'm stealing a lot of things and it becomes my recipe Smart, smart, right. So like I'm early settlers, I'm stealing a lot of things and calling it my own.
Speaker 2:I try to be happy and uplifting, but yes, I was thinking the exact same thing, like, okay, so you just steal things and then play them as your own.
Speaker 3:Yes.
Speaker 2:All right, cool Way to go, thomas Edison.
Speaker 3:I have a very good chunky like guy of salsa that I make that I took from somebody else. I added one ingredient and it is now mine.
Speaker 2:Hey, if it works.
Speaker 3:it works, man. Yes, what are you most excited about for Thanksgiving?
Speaker 2:So I found out Melissa's doing turkey breast in gravy instead of like a traditional turkey. Really Very excited about that. Sweet potatoes and, of course, even more deviled eggs. You can never have too many deviled eggs?
Speaker 3:Not at all. I mean, I guess technically you could.
Speaker 2:But I'm going to know, I'm going to find out what that limit is. What is the limit? That's what I want to know.
Speaker 3:It's not six so far, no. What that limit is. What is the limit? That's what I want to know. It's not six so far. No, the limit is not six, harry.
Speaker 2:Trust me.
Speaker 3:I know what the limit is Dinner's at two.
Speaker 2:Dinner's at two at Missy's, okay, and she texts me. She goes, which I think is a very earthy dinner. And she goes hey, what are you thinking for an appetizer? And I was like, what do you mean an appetizer? She goes, you know, before we eat. I'm like we're eating at two any earlier and we're eating breakfast together. Might as well just make it brunch. We don't need snacks before a midday meal.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's called breakfast.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but she was super worried. I think it's going to be great. It's going to be a great time.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I'm excited for you guys going there.
Speaker 2:So do you do any fun Thanksgiving traditions?
Speaker 3:Sabrina makes breakfast for everybody. It's like her big breakfast that she makes Her grandma's croissant roll, croissant, croissant, that's what I call. Call it the crescent roll breakfast. And so we're gonna hang out and I'm gonna make some sugar cookie dough so we can make our cookies starting friday, decorate them and bake them. Nothing really tradition wise, you know, we kind of mix up every year. Nothing really Tradition wise, you know, we kind of mix up every year.
Speaker 2:Ange and I Start Harry Potter. Oh, and it runs throughout the season Because you know Christmas. Harry Potter is not a Christmas movie, that's not an argument. It does have a lot of Christmas in it, it does. And before we continue to talk about thanksgiving, I watched the first one by myself the other day. Now, spoiler have you finished the first one? Yeah, we finished the first one. Did you watch the movie yet? Yeah, third, in the dungeon and Harry touches Professor Forrell and he dies. Yeah, harry Potter commits murder Straight up.
Speaker 3:He does, and they give him, he does Straight up.
Speaker 2:And they praise him for it.
Speaker 3:Well, I mean, and he's a first year, so what is he? 10? He's a kid with a scar and they're like, oh, I can't touch him.
Speaker 2:I'm like, first off, I realize I know more words to that movie than I thought I did, ah. Second, I'm like wait a minute, that's murder.
Speaker 3:He killed a man. Yeah, if you know what you're going to do is going to kill him, then yes, that is straight up murder. I mean, in Hogwarts there's a lot of murder.
Speaker 2:Or justifiable homicide.
Speaker 3:Justifiable homicide is. That's a good one.
Speaker 2:I just thought it was so crazy. I'm like here is this he's 11, because he turns 11 in the beginning of the movie. That's right. And I I'm like here is this he's 11 because he turned 11 in the beginning of the movie, Right, and I'm just like this is murder. This is capital murder. He thought about it and he did it.
Speaker 3:Premeditated, not premeditated, but it's a. I guess it'd be self-defense.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean, listen, the American justice system, you know he'd walk for sure. Justice system, you know he'd walk for sure. My justice system, he'd walk. But at the same time he's got to put that on his conscience At 11 years old. And what does he get for it? He gets some beans, some every flavor beans, and a chocolate frog Eaten by his best friend Facts. But I say all that because, like I said, Ange and I normally start Harry Potter. That's a good one.
Speaker 3:Now do you guys sit down like you have to finish the movie before you go to bed, or is it? You go until we just start?
Speaker 2:Listen, I love my wife. She can have my one good kidney. She can't make it more than a half hour through a movie. Ah, that'll happen. So, yeah, that's why we started now and hopefully get through it before the new year. Yeah, I mean, it's not a bad idea.
Speaker 3:But it's great.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we're partway.
Speaker 3:So we're doing reading Harry Potter and watching a movie, doing a lot of audio book because you, you know, we'll be driving quite a bit now, yeah, you know, going here, going there. So when all of us are in the same car, put audible on, boom, started listening to it. We're, I think, halfway through the second book. But now, like we started decorating our house One November I went to the attic and started pulling everything down. Same, slowly but surely, we didn't go from Halloween to Christmas. We went from Halloween to Christmas season. Oh no, we went full Christmas. We've been doing it slow, we've been doing it slow. We've got kids, so you've got to make sure you find home for everything where they can't get to.
Speaker 3:We've been watching some movies, but not full bore yet. You have that core list Harry Potter. I think a lot of people consider that Christmas. I don't know why, maybe just because of the season, but there's a core list. We were talking about this at work today. There's a core list of movies that you cannot watch before Thanksgiving. No, not at all. I think everybody's core list is different, because Sabrina's core list is way different. But everybody's got Christmas Vacation Home Alone. It's a Wonderful Life.
Speaker 2:These are in no particular order.
Speaker 3:Watch it. It's in black and white and color. Watch the black and white version. It just means more. It's a great. I mean, we've talked about this already before, but for me, muppets, christmas Carol.
Speaker 2:That's up there.
Speaker 3:That's a core movie. Does Sabrina not agree? She does not agree. She doesn't like any Muppets movies.
Speaker 2:What has she seen? Muppet Treasure Island.
Speaker 3:No, she has not.
Speaker 2:It's a great movie.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I know. So next family movie night when she's doing the snack trade, I am going to sneak that onto the television and be like I don't know. The girls picked it Muppet Treasure Island, or yeah, 100%, muppet Treasure Island, can't wait, I know I feel like it's most underrated.
Speaker 2:I know we've probably talked about this, but it's the most underrated Muppet movie. Yeah, hands down, we'll put a poll out. But, buddy, it is time to finalize America's favorite Thanksgiving side dish.
Speaker 3:All right, man, it is. This has been a quick, fast bracket. Five weeks, harry, give or take. Yeah, I'm very proud of us. This has been a quick, fast bracket, harry. 16 teams, teams, 16 side dishes Five weeks Back to back to back to back. We ain't messing around, we're down to this. Harry, it is stuffing. First, mashed potatoes. We have stovetop going against the old. You know what it is? The Irish guacamole God, I can't think of a different, can't call anything else from there.
Speaker 2:I'm so happy, hold on. I'm so happy. Mashed, hold on. I'm so happy. Mashed potatoes got this far, so you could keep saying Irish guacamole, I know how happy it makes you.
Speaker 3:I'm going to bring it up tomorrow, Cause we're going to Sabrina's friend's house for Thanksgiving Ooh, by the way like with her whole family, and they're all Cowboys fans, so I guess he's wearing their Eagles gear tomorrow. No birds? Yeah, so I'll be. Yes, can you please pass the Irish guacamole and just get a reaction out of everybody and be like what's up? Man? That's what we call it at my house.
Speaker 2:Yeah, what do you guys call it?
Speaker 3:So here we are Stuffing mashed potatoes Laura versus Megan. Now this, harry, this was probably no, there's no. Probably One of our most shared, one of our most voted on brackets and one of the closest battles of all time. Our Twitter poll is tied, so I can't even like put those numbers to include the Facebook poll, to like sway anybody, because the Facebook poll is that close to where it's not even gonna make a difference. That's not. We went to record earlier. We did, and it was a dead heat. I shared it again. This has probably been one of the most divided America has been in a very long time when it comes to voting.
Speaker 2:I don't think America has been more divided since 1861. You're right.
Speaker 3:This isn't North versus South, this isn't East versus West. This is neighbor versus neighbor. Stuffing versus mashed potatoes, what is America's favorite Thanksgiving side dish? And when I tell you, harry, the polls are close. It's 51 to 49. Really, it's 50.5 to 49.5. It's never been closer. It has never been closer than this. And, like I said, I grabbed X. I should have said Twitter earlier, correcting myself X. That poll is also tied with that, with our drum roll in the background rolling. America's favorite side dish for Thanksgiving is stuffing.
Speaker 2:I said it earlier. In our last episode I said did we answer the question when we asked it? Right, you're not wrong. Stuffing is only really eaten at Thanksgiving. It's the ultimate Thanksgiving side dish. Correct Absolutely. If I say I'm making a full turkey, the next question is always are you making stuffing?
Speaker 3:Right you have to.
Speaker 2:They go hand in hand. And when do you have turkey the most Thanksgiving?
Speaker 3:Thursdays, thanksgiving, also Thanksgiving. You're right, that does make sense. So with stuffing winning, laura also wins. So Laura needs to reach out to us to get her free trout stream swag, to show it off proudly, way to go.
Speaker 2:Laura, way to go, not even mad about it. I wish sweet potato casserole went farther, but it's not everyone's cup of tea. America chose, america spoke.
Speaker 3:Man. Could you imagine a a final sweet potato casserole versus deviled eggs?
Speaker 2:That would have been a divided nation. Listen man, I had some people yelling at me like this bracket's stupid Everyone knows it's deviled eggs and I'm like, oh guys, let America speak, Right.
Speaker 3:You don't speak for.
Speaker 2:America.
Speaker 3:Right, every vote mattered on this one. And trust me For America. Right, every vote mattered on this one. And trust me, everyone did it was that close of a poll.
Speaker 2:It was our biggest turnout, huge turnout.
Speaker 3:Super proud of that, love it Really proud of us for getting this bracket put together, put out, recorded, all that in time. This was super fast and I love it. I I mean, we timed it just right. We had, you know, from Halloween To Thanksgiving. It was four weeks.
Speaker 2:We managed it.
Speaker 3:We did manage it.
Speaker 2:Super proud of us for that. Yeah, it's gonna be a good time. Congratulations to stuffing Buddy. What is your funniest Thanksgiving memory?
Speaker 3:Man, I've had 39 Thanksgivings. Trying to remember all of them. Right, you know you and I get in a lot of trouble, you and I stealing Deviled eggs. Yeah, they're for us.
Speaker 2:Yeah, 100%. When I was you and I stealing deviled eggs. Yeah, they're for us.
Speaker 3:Yeah, 100%. When I was overseas, at one point I hosted a giant Thanksgiving dinner for everybody in the shop and I made a ham for the first time and I had no idea what I was doing. I literally made it up and it was the first thing gone. The trick is pineapple juice and 7-Up, but funniest. So there was a deployment and we had this.
Speaker 3:The flight line kitchen is what we called it, but it was called Roy's and I always called it Roy's Diner Because it reminded me of like an old rundown diner Buffet, you know, chow hall style. We had always called it Roy's Diner Because it reminded me of like an old rundown diner buffet, you know, chow hall style. We had some guys doing work on the jet, so four of us are like, hey man, we're going to go. We got to run down there and go get plates for everybody Before they shut down, like everybody you know, so we all can come back and eat. It is one kid. He's grabbing a styrofoam trays and he's got about six of them high. He looks like Gus Gus from Cinderella. He's carrying the corn and we get back. We got to walk. We didn't have a truck at the time, so we walk back. It was probably half mile or so, it wasn't super far. I mean, we got the turkey, the stuffing, the taters with the gravy, the absolute best Cornbread I've ever had in my entire life, all right. So we get it back and just as soon as we walk into the hangar, this kid trips over the lip of the door and dumps all the food onto the hangar floor.
Speaker 3:Gone, and these dudes are sitting there staring at it like man. We've been here for 10 hours. We've been working on this jet for 10 hours. We've been working on this jet for 10 hours and that was our dinner. It was one of those moments where he's like oh, my here, you know you're shoving food at them and they're like I'll be back and like we got to run back again. But I will tell all gus gus. I'm like you stay here, like I don't need your help anymore. Please don't touch anything, just sit here, clean this mess up. And they start calling that dude Trips for the next three months. Oh, that's not good. Yeah, so after a while he gets back to home station like what did you guys do? Yeah, trips did this. Like who's Trips. Like, oh, sir, trips a lot over there and it pretty much stuck with him.
Speaker 2:I have a friend and he was on my phone as RIP Jimmy, because we worked together. He left to go to another office, so you know RIP. Yeah, he sends me. He says he's Snapchat. He's wearing an eyepatch zero his eye. Change his name my phone to what I jimmy? And one night, after having a few apple juices, I'm like why can't I find him? Where is he in my phone? Well, it's because it's one eye, jimmy.
Speaker 3:Now that makes the most sense, you're probably not going to find him.
Speaker 2:No, no Different place.
Speaker 3:Just when dudes come up with nicknames, you're stuck with it forever.
Speaker 2:That's what I'm saying. Yeah, one-eyed Jimmy, one-eyed Jimmy. Remember that one time you sent me one Snapchat of you wearing an eyep? What, what are you doing? I was like, remember that one time you sent me one Snapchat of you wearing an eye patch? I want to give me my phone. All right, I think, just like. My favorite overall Thanksgiving memory is dad Looking the turkey upside down. Every year we got to talk about that one Every year.
Speaker 3:It's never that funny. Where's the popper at?
Speaker 2:I don't know where's the popper?
Speaker 3:it's on the bottom it's really juicy, though it doesn't pop out on the bottom of the pan.
Speaker 2:It can't go through the pan. To let you know it's done oh, it's done now.
Speaker 3:That was always a good one. It can't go through the pad to let you know it's done. Oh, it's done now. That was always a good one. We always ran out of table space at mom and dad's house.
Speaker 2:Always, always had to bring out the side tables. You bring out the TV trays and like which is.
Speaker 3:That's the most sketched thing in the world Because they were not the most stable tables. I have a set myself that I've had to like wood and clamp them down for a week to stabilize them a little bit. Buddy, yeah, I mean I should get rid of them, but they were $2 a piece and I use them not often at all, but they are like the least secure things ever and we're putting giant casserole dishes on there.
Speaker 2:That are steaming hot. Yes, it is not safe. Which game are you looking forward to the most?
Speaker 3:I really think I'm looking forward to the Giants at the Cowboys. Yeah, yep, I mean we're going to be able to make fun of both teams. Yeah it's going to be bad.
Speaker 2:It's going to be brutal. Yeah, we got the Bears and the Lions not exciting. The Lions are just gonna steamroll the Bears. Cowboys, giants, I'm gonna give that to the Cowboys at home Thanksgiving yeah well, I don't know, they can't win at home they can't win at home. Could you imagine Danny DeVito, whatever his name, is Tommy DeVito?
Speaker 3:I don't think Danny DeVito, whatever his name, is Tommy DeVito, tommy I don't think Danny DeVito is back there playing quarterback, the Penguins chucking the ball downfield, the New York.
Speaker 2:Penguins, tommy DeVito, dolphins, packers I don't know, I don't know how that man's seeing straight when he's at.
Speaker 3:Packers. When he's in, they win Mm-hmm, but it's at. Packers Lefties don't do well in the cold, no.
Speaker 2:They asked the Dolphins head coach. They're like so how are you prepping for the cold Lambo from Thursday he goes. We're in Miami. I don't know. I walk around with ice cubes in my pocket. What do you want me to do? What do you prep for that in Miami?
Speaker 3:Yeah, Get a walk-in freezer, she's all plays in there.
Speaker 2:And then we also have the Black Friday game of the Raiders and the Chiefs. Look when they book that game. I thought they, I think they thought it was going to be more exciting.
Speaker 3:It is not man. It'd be awesome if the Raiders won on Black Friday.
Speaker 2:Oh they almost have to.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:It's their day. It's their day. I'm just excited for football, food, family fun. Oh the 4Fs yeah.
Speaker 1:It's going to be.
Speaker 3:Thanksgiving weekend Is probably one of the best weekends in America.
Speaker 2:For normal Americans? Yes, for me, I work Friday, really. Mm-hmm Well that's a shame. Yeah, I worked in an industry where the rest of the world doesn't care about American holidays.
Speaker 3:Ah yeah, no, that makes sense, that absolutely makes sense.
Speaker 2:I work in the world market, not the United States market. That's a good market to work in.
Speaker 3:We have a world market down the street. I'm just kidding, you don't work at that store, no, but this is going to be a great weekend of family food, fun. I'm thinking Thanksgiving Eve we're going to start something new. We have a game night championship where we have a trophy. Reagan designed it five years ago on a napkin at five guys. She drew up a napkin on a napkin with the trophy was. We came home, we made the trophy, spray painted it, assembled it and now, whenever she was in town, we had game night championship. Her Sabrina and I Games include Candyland, trouble, sorry, clue there was a fifth game in there and so you know, with Candyland we play three games. We always end with Clue. There are certain ways you have to end Clue and then whoever won the most games, whoever has the most points, gets the old trophy.
Speaker 2:I was watching a YouTube video the other day and I realized I never played the game Shoot Snakes and Ladders, shoots and Ladders, shoots and Ladders, snakes and Ladders, snakes and ladders same thing. Yeah, never played it. It's a long game.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I know it's a kid's game, but, like Ray and I went to play a few years ago, I'm like will this game ever end? Like sweet, I hit a ladder, I went up 12 spots. You go one more, boom, there's a shoot. I got to go all the way back to the beginning.
Speaker 2:So Ange and I realized that the games for 5 to 10 year olds are the most fun. Oh, absolutely. We laugh hysterically the whole time over these adult-based board games. Yeah, they're so much more fun. We have a game in our camper, because we play a lot of games in our camper and it's. I hate this game, but it's called when is my butt Okay, and it's just a card game about matching cheeks.
Speaker 3:Not against it.
Speaker 2:That sounds like a good time and it's hilarious and it's stupid and it's so fun and we just laugh hysterically the whole time.
Speaker 3:We just got a new one for the littles. I forget the name of it, but you have these 12 pugs, like rubber pugs that you squeeze. Okay, when you squeeze them, their tongues shoot out. Ooh, their tongue is one of six different colors. So there's like two pink, red, orange, yellow, green and blue. All right, so all the pugs ate lollipops. Now you got to roll two dice and you know you got red and blue, so you got to go around. You got to squeeze two dogs, Find the red tongue and find the blue tongue. It is simple, but it is so fun with the little like. But they love it Squeezing dogs and they're doing it wrong.
Speaker 3:You're like like, hold them flat and then you get two. Tries is one of those like, if you get, if you find both colors, like monopoly, you roll doubles. You get to go again. Oh, the very first time we pulled this game out, said it all up piper goes first, youngest goes first. So piper not even you know just under two takes those dice and rolls them like she's at the craps table. Oh, pink and orange. Picks two pugs up pink, there's orange. She's to go again, does it again. I'm like how are you doing this something? Oh, there's gotta be like a cheating way. It comes to me and I'm like all right, nothing. How does this even work? Like how do these kids know where these tongues are?
Speaker 3:she's like brain man dude, it was pretty awesome. I'm really excited. Are you doing black Friday shopping? No you're not going to go out and brave the elements and the people.
Speaker 2:Here's my thing, man. You know, it's just Ange and I, yeah, and we want something, we just get it. No absolutely Same here. We just get it. No, absolutely same here. So, like I don't, she's like what do you want for christmas? Because even though it's just the two of us and we do have that mentality, you know, I, I still uphold the tradition of well, we both have to open something on thanksgiving. Jeez, yeah, on christmas.
Speaker 3:Well, yeah, I, I undo my top button on my pants on thanksgiving, so that's my guess myself. I undo my top button on my pants on Thanksgiving, so that's my guess myself. Yeah, that makes sense.
Speaker 2:So, like Black Friday, we have no interest in yeah, but we will use it to our advantage. Go on, like the new stove and microwave we purchased, oh say what. Say what. Yeah, man, it's a stove, slash air fryer. Mmm, that's pretty genius. Now I'm going to be making all the hash browns I can eat All day, all day. My mouth's watering thinking about hash browns. That's so great.
Speaker 3:I'm so excited. I do love hash browns. Do you guys go out Black Friday? We are, we are going to go.
Speaker 3:So this is probably one of my funniest Black Friday moments of years ago Harry I'm talking nine years ago or so I went, had Thanksgiving with Reagan and I had her Thanksgiving night. So we're back in the hotel room, we're hanging out and I'm like, well, what are we doing tomorrow? Kid, let's get him to go to Bass Pro Shop. It's right there. So we go get breakfast.
Speaker 3:We go to Bass Pro and I'm like kind of busy, dude, I was oblivious that it was Black Friday. I've never been so oblivious in my life. I'm like, why are there so many people here? And you walk inside. I'm like, what are all these deals? Like what? In tarnations they had like the picnic tables lining the aisles with cardboard boxes of like here's shirts for 10 bucks, here's a jacket for 10 bucks, here's this. I'm like, oh, so, so we're walking and I see, see, the sign finally goes black friday. I was like, oh, I had zero, had no zero idea, didn't know. Oh, bought a jacket there, nice gray fleece, zip up fleece. I like it. It is my little winter jacket. Tuesday, like 10 years old. That is my every winter jacket. It's not super heavy, it's nice fleece because it doesn't get so cold down here right Tuesday, like 10 years later. Really, that is my every winter jacket. It's not super heavy, it's nice fleece because it doesn't get so cold down here, right.
Speaker 2:So Black Friday I don't mind going to Bass Pro Shop, I just. It's so hard now because Black Friday deals are now not just Black Friday, no, like they're like a whole month. Now there's no reason to run to a store and wait in line anymore, which is good, because people are literally dying.
Speaker 3:Yeah, there's a lot of Harry Potter murder going on.
Speaker 2:But to me it also loses that appeal of waiting in line and making sure you know what I mean. Yeah, now there's certain things I'd rather buy in person and online.
Speaker 3:Sure, you know what I mean. It's yeah, now there's certain things I'd rather buy in person and online. Yeah, of course, and so we're thinking about getting an upgraded tv and finally getting a smart tv. Smart, yeah, yeah. So I said smart tv, you know, go a little bigger, so we want to look at those in person. Yes, right, because you could tell them I can, I know dimensions and stuff. Right, I want to see it in my hands, I want to feel the thickness of the TV. Right, there's certain things. So we're going to do that. Plus, I'll be cheaper, mm. Hmm, I think that's really the only thing. We want Slash, we want slash. We don't need, we want it, right.
Speaker 2:Yeah, no, it's a good day to get things you want, not need, right? Yeah, there's nothing I want. I mean I want a new TV, but you know and says no.
Speaker 3:Right, cause I wanted a living room. That thing is going to go into our bedroom, and our bedroom one is up for grabs. And I'm thinking In my studio.
Speaker 2:Yes, yeah, that's a good idea.
Speaker 3:Put me an antenna On that thing so I can get the local news, smart or football when it's on local TV, yeah.
Speaker 2:You got to get a new system, dude yeah.
Speaker 3:I do.
Speaker 2:Because then you can just use your system as your smart center, like we do, because our smart TV is very dumb.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Takes like 20 minutes to load dumb.
Speaker 3:Yeah, takes like 20 minutes to load. I'm going to leave you with a food for thought for next episode. Okay, and I want our listeners to also have food for thought for the next episode. Okay, it's going to be not a poll, but it's going to be a thing I put out Starting Black Friday. Tbs back in the day used to have 24 Hours of Christmas Story, and then also was it Christmas Eve into Christmas Day, they did 24 Hours of Christmas Story.
Speaker 3:Don't have cable anymore. I have my old PS4 as my DVD player or you can stream stuff. I do have some DVDs Harry Christmas DVDs that I found that I'll be using, and one previously mentioned movie, muppets Christmas Carol. I think that will be playing at my house Black Friday when we get home. We're going to be chilling hanging out Muppets Christmas Carol. So here's my little leave behind for you for our next episode. Hold up, hey, sorry, I can't say next episode without thinking about Nate Dogg RIP. I need you, harry, to find Whatever movie, movie, movies, right, because sometimes it's hard to just pick one that you can replace the entire cast with Muppets, except for one actor.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 3:And I have a few already and, without spoiling it, some of them have the same actor as a live action person Coincidental, like I didn't realize it until later. And it's not who you think it is. I'm excited, yeah. So that's going to be for you. I'm going to make sure that's an episode, the next one after this, 76. Ooh, december. There's going to be no polls, no bracket, none of that extra stuff, right? Because it's going to be about holidays. We're going to have some really good in-depth conversations just about life and holidays and fun and sports and everything in between. But we will talk about what movie you want Muppets to be in. Keep one live actor. I'm going to put it out there on our social media Comment which movie you want it in and just tell us who the actor is, whether it's the character or the actor. You know the real name.
Speaker 2:I have so many I can think about right now. So many you already mentioned one of the movies that I would do.
Speaker 3:Ooh, go on Harry Potter.
Speaker 2:Okay, I'm not going to tell you who the actor is.
Speaker 3:Okay, because now I want to. You got to think about that. There's a whole slew of them, and it is not Draco Malfoy, because that would be hilarious. It would be have him just be mean to all the Muppets all the time. But that's the type of stuff we're looking for. I can't wait. Before we close out, one final question for you, harry. What are you looking forward to to eat this weekend? Just food.
Speaker 2:You're opening up a can of worms here, buddy, Because Thursday I have Thanksgiving and then Saturday I have Thanksgiving part two. I don't get leftovers.
Speaker 3:You got the twofer I got the twofer. And I'm not even mad. I am very proud. What are you looking forward to? I am looking forward to making my own Thanksgiving sandwich. I need to go buy me some hoagie rolls. That's my one thing that I will be picking up Black Friday is some fresh hoagie rolls from the bakery. Slice that bad boy up, take one side out, kind of like. Maybe just go to Jimmy John's and buy their day-old bread for 25 cents a roll.
Speaker 2:Can you do that at Jimmy John's? You can do that.
Speaker 3:Yeah, jimmy John's will do that. Smart, I do that, you can do that. Yeah, jimmy Johns will do that. Smart, I should do that. The French bread rolls and kind of steal Capriati's Bobby, but make my own Thanksgiving sandwich. That's what I want to do.
Speaker 2:That's what I'm looking forward to. Just change one ingredient and it's yours.
