1
00:00:06.400 --> 00:00:11.800
Happy post Thanksgiving. I tried to put on some fall colors.

2
00:00:11.519 --> 00:00:14.039
Good idea, idea, some coffee.

3
00:00:14.119 --> 00:00:17.920
Holiday that gets the shaft.

4
00:00:19.000 --> 00:00:21.879
No editing, No matter what is said here, we're not

5
00:00:21.879 --> 00:00:26.280
going to edit it out. The turkey has more feathers

6
00:00:26.480 --> 00:00:30.160
the outside. Is that your pop up timer? Is that

7
00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:32.399
your pop up? Is that your pop up timer? Are

8
00:00:32.439 --> 00:00:40.240
you just happy to see me? Well? Hello, hello, Hello.

9
00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:47.439
Happy post Thanksgiving. I tried to put on some fall colors,

10
00:00:47.799 --> 00:00:52.399
good idea, and awesome coffee in a fall colored mug

11
00:00:53.600 --> 00:00:54.119
to get us.

12
00:00:54.039 --> 00:00:54.520
In the mood.

13
00:00:55.039 --> 00:00:59.079
Okay, okay for this holiday that gets the shaft.

14
00:01:00.240 --> 00:01:07.560
Shut your mouth, puff puff, how are you? Did you

15
00:01:07.599 --> 00:01:08.480
have a great holiday?

16
00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:09.079
I did?

17
00:01:09.920 --> 00:01:10.040
Oh?

18
00:01:10.640 --> 00:01:11.400
Yes, go ahead.

19
00:01:11.400 --> 00:01:13.079
I was just gonna say before we get started, just

20
00:01:13.120 --> 00:01:16.120
so everyone knows, no editing, No matter what is said here,

21
00:01:16.760 --> 00:01:17.959
we're not going to edit it out.

22
00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:24.040
I better been something in my coffee then no. Yeah.

23
00:01:24.079 --> 00:01:30.200
So this is our post Thanksgiving holiday podcast episode only because,

24
00:01:30.359 --> 00:01:34.239
as we alluded to in the past, Christmas starts in

25
00:01:34.319 --> 00:01:42.439
like May. Hallmark Channel has been showing holiday theme movies.

26
00:01:42.439 --> 00:01:46.920
They start in July. Of course, the big box stores

27
00:01:46.959 --> 00:01:53.319
and many other stores start showcasing holiday decorations. In August

28
00:01:53.359 --> 00:01:58.560
September and make a little room for holiday, for Halloween

29
00:01:58.560 --> 00:01:59.560
candy and then.

30
00:02:01.120 --> 00:02:03.519
And you know what, just to get to continue with

31
00:02:03.519 --> 00:02:07.280
that thought, basically, Christmas is over because everything that you

32
00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:09.560
want to go to buy at the stores is basically

33
00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:14.039
gone or marked to seventy five percent off already. It's crazy.

34
00:02:14.360 --> 00:02:15.039
It's crazy.

35
00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:17.159
So I take it because we're doing this. You're not

36
00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:20.000
in line at some Black Friday sale.

37
00:02:20.199 --> 00:02:23.199
You know what. That is a previous life of mine.

38
00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:25.439
I was actually part of that world with the H

39
00:02:25.479 --> 00:02:27.560
and M and everything I was doing. Remember back in

40
00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:29.199
the day, like ten years ago, they would have those

41
00:02:29.439 --> 00:02:33.080
stores opening at nine o'clock or no, at six o'clock

42
00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:36.400
on Thanksgiving and then you would work. They would actually

43
00:02:36.439 --> 00:02:40.520
have people work all night long. Yeah, at retailers, it's

44
00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:42.639
like and there was such a stupid waste of time.

45
00:02:42.719 --> 00:02:44.879
So and I can say that now because I got

46
00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:47.919
my turkey can't care, and my turkey says so.

47
00:02:48.599 --> 00:02:52.800
And because this is a Thanksgiving themed episode, we can

48
00:02:52.879 --> 00:02:56.479
honestly say for people our age who'll know this person,

49
00:02:56.520 --> 00:03:00.360
I'm going to mention it's the Rodney danger field of

50
00:03:00.439 --> 00:03:02.360
holidays gets no respect.

51
00:03:03.919 --> 00:03:06.080
Yeah, because it's such a good holiday. I mean, we'll

52
00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:08.360
get into it in a second, but I mean it's

53
00:03:08.439 --> 00:03:10.319
a great holiday, and I think it's something that should

54
00:03:10.319 --> 00:03:13.080
be spent a little more time enjoying. Of course, as

55
00:03:13.080 --> 00:03:16.439
a preparation for Thanksgiving, right, and there is the actual

56
00:03:16.479 --> 00:03:19.719
event of people coming or whatever you do to celebrate Thanksgiving.

57
00:03:19.719 --> 00:03:22.919
But I truly truly enjoy it. It's a great thing.

58
00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:24.000
I love entertaining.

59
00:03:24.080 --> 00:03:25.080
It is one of my favorites.

60
00:03:25.159 --> 00:03:27.080
Yeah, yeah, me too. And it's like all of a sudden,

61
00:03:27.159 --> 00:03:32.280
it's gone, it's done. And yeah, so anyway, anyway, so

62
00:03:32.319 --> 00:03:33.639
are we gonna do an introduction.

63
00:03:33.919 --> 00:03:36.319
Let's let's do a little break, do a little intro,

64
00:03:36.479 --> 00:03:39.039
and then and then we will have at it.

65
00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:41.879
Okay, well then hold on, hold on to your drumsticks.

66
00:03:41.919 --> 00:03:42.759
We'll be right back.

67
00:03:50.680 --> 00:03:54.319

dead turkey without finding it somewhere. So uh so, how

89
00:05:35.519 --> 00:05:36.560

It was so much fun. Thank you for asking me

91
00:05:38.360 --> 00:05:40.199
at first, I do have to start with one bad

92
00:05:40.759 --> 00:05:41.600
Thanksgiving joke?

93
00:05:41.920 --> 00:05:43.120
Of course, please do.

94
00:05:44.839 --> 00:05:46.399
The turkey has more feathers.

95
00:05:48.800 --> 00:05:55.959
I don't know the outside what else you got?

96
00:06:00.319 --> 00:06:03.000
The last one? Is that your pop up tiner?

97
00:06:03.399 --> 00:06:05.240
Oh shit, pop up timer?

98
00:06:06.040 --> 00:06:07.800
Sorry, well don't is that?

99
00:06:08.600 --> 00:06:09.480
I'm sorry?

100
00:06:09.519 --> 00:06:11.680
Well now, it's is that your pop up timer? Are

101
00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:13.279

102
00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:16.160
Don? I'm happy to see you. But yes, thank you

103
00:06:16.199 --> 00:06:17.600
for asking. It is my pop up time.

104
00:06:19.399 --> 00:06:21.160
Sorry go no, sorry, please.

105
00:06:21.800 --> 00:06:22.959
Tell us about your Thanksgiving.

106
00:06:23.000 --> 00:06:24.879
Oh it was okay again. We talked about this. I

107
00:06:24.920 --> 00:06:26.879
love entertaining. I truly do. And I know you and

108
00:06:26.920 --> 00:06:30.120
I've had multiple discussions about whether or not we like

109
00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:33.680
to be the preeople that are creating these events and

110
00:06:33.720 --> 00:06:36.959
making them happen. But I gotta say, I truly I

111
00:06:37.240 --> 00:06:40.519
enjoy entertaining. I love it. So we had nine people yesterday.

112
00:06:40.519 --> 00:06:43.319
We'd counted on maybe a couple, but it was Stephen, Chris,

113
00:06:44.040 --> 00:06:48.439
Jonathan and Sonia, Alicia Simon and her mother Anita. And

114
00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:51.720
it was really a wonderful day. It was seventy eight

115
00:06:51.759 --> 00:06:52.959
degrees here at the beach.

116
00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:53.759
Crazy.

117
00:06:53.800 --> 00:06:56.079
It was crazy. So every you know, every year, I

118
00:06:56.160 --> 00:06:58.639
keep thinking that we see our memories pop up and

119
00:06:58.680 --> 00:07:01.519
say every year, all doors are open, all the fans

120
00:07:01.560 --> 00:07:05.199
are going, and it's just always warm here. So, yes,

121
00:07:05.240 --> 00:07:09.199
it was a wonderful time. We I'll tell everyone we

122
00:07:09.279 --> 00:07:13.279
cheated and went to Lazy Acres and ordered our food

123
00:07:13.319 --> 00:07:15.439
because it's just a lot easier to have a lot

124
00:07:15.480 --> 00:07:16.319
of things prepared.

125
00:07:17.279 --> 00:07:19.240
And did you make any of the dishes or everything

126
00:07:19.279 --> 00:07:20.319
was well.

127
00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:23.639
No, we did. I made, you know, all the regular stuff.

128
00:07:23.720 --> 00:07:27.399
We wrap dates with bacon, cheese, logs, you know, all

129
00:07:27.439 --> 00:07:30.199
the regular stuff. And then of course everyone brought their things.

130
00:07:30.240 --> 00:07:34.560
So Sonya brought her amazing Italian stuffing which was huge,

131
00:07:34.639 --> 00:07:38.720
and then Simon brought over this huge, beautiful castle of

132
00:07:38.759 --> 00:07:42.160
string beans nice and we had everything, so it was

133
00:07:42.279 --> 00:07:44.720
just perfect. It was a perfect night. Everyone stayed for

134
00:07:44.759 --> 00:07:46.959
a long time. We started at one o'clock in the

135
00:07:47.000 --> 00:07:50.680
afternoon because Stephen Chris are coming in from Pump Springs, sure,

136
00:07:51.000 --> 00:07:53.199
and then to get back to their dogs. But you know,

137
00:07:53.360 --> 00:07:55.600
everyone else ended staying to like nine o'clock, so it

138
00:07:55.639 --> 00:07:56.600
was just a full day.

139
00:07:56.680 --> 00:07:59.600
It was really so that's why you allowed time to

140
00:07:59.600 --> 00:08:02.000
have apple tizers and then.

141
00:08:01.959 --> 00:08:04.399
Yeah, it's not a rushed event, but it is something

142
00:08:04.399 --> 00:08:06.199
where we've got to make sure that Stephen Chris can

143
00:08:06.199 --> 00:08:08.759
get back to their dogs in time because it's coming

144
00:08:08.759 --> 00:08:11.480
back from Palm Springs. It's a couple hours. But anyway,

145
00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:13.600
so it was. It was a wonderful event. Lovely, lovely,

146
00:08:13.839 --> 00:08:15.160
how about you, how is your event?

147
00:08:15.240 --> 00:08:17.399
It's good now in the past and talk about appetizers

148
00:08:18.040 --> 00:08:20.000
in the past, when we would get together, we'd load

149
00:08:20.079 --> 00:08:21.759
up on appetizers by the time we sit down for

150
00:08:21.800 --> 00:08:24.279
the meal. I'm too fool of Like, wait a minute,

151
00:08:24.360 --> 00:08:26.480
I did not slave away all these hours for all

152
00:08:26.519 --> 00:08:28.560
this meal for you to you know, have like one

153
00:08:28.600 --> 00:08:33.519
little slice of turkey and whatever. So for our family gatherings,

154
00:08:33.519 --> 00:08:36.279
because we're sluchs, big eaters, we just like very light

155
00:08:36.320 --> 00:08:37.200
on the appetizers.

156
00:08:37.240 --> 00:08:37.440
Yep.

157
00:08:38.320 --> 00:08:40.840
But this year was the second year that my niece

158
00:08:40.879 --> 00:08:44.879
and her husband hosted us for Thanksgiving. Oh excuse me.

159
00:08:45.440 --> 00:08:47.919
They're about eleven of us, you know, and it's pot

160
00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:50.960
luck right everyone. You know, she organizes who's gonna bring what.

161
00:08:51.120 --> 00:08:54.039
So we decided this year we didn't want to do turkey,

162
00:08:54.519 --> 00:08:57.440
so we opted for ham. So I, oh, okay, I

163
00:08:57.480 --> 00:09:01.320
baked my first ham. And I'm not gonna brag, but

164
00:09:01.360 --> 00:09:04.919
I did get a lot of compliments on my ham.

165
00:09:05.080 --> 00:09:08.360
It was a fourteen pounder. It was a lot of pork.

166
00:09:09.679 --> 00:09:10.759
A lot of porking going on.

167
00:09:12.000 --> 00:09:14.519
And also baked some apples to have as a side.

168
00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:17.600
And then we had like, you know, traditional green bean

169
00:09:18.279 --> 00:09:22.639
casserole and you know, the usual. And like I said,

170
00:09:22.840 --> 00:09:24.360
if I didn't say, they were about eleven of us,

171
00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:27.600
so it was really fun. Yeah, it is, of all

172
00:09:27.600 --> 00:09:31.080
the holidays, one of my favorites because it's not about gifts, right,

173
00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:35.159
it's you know, it's about getting your family friends together

174
00:09:35.200 --> 00:09:38.399
and just having a just a lovely evening. So for me,

175
00:09:38.759 --> 00:09:41.279
that's that's what it's about. I do want to ask you.

176
00:09:41.320 --> 00:09:43.480
My question to you about Thanksgiving that I alluded to

177
00:09:44.240 --> 00:09:45.759
came up in a meeting I was on the other night.

178
00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:51.879
If you, in terms of Thanksgiving meal, if you take

179
00:09:51.919 --> 00:09:55.879
away the main dishes which everyone knows, turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes,

180
00:09:55.960 --> 00:09:59.360
and cranberry sauce, set those aside. What's your go to

181
00:09:59.519 --> 00:10:02.960
dish that you want to have or maybe you're asked

182
00:10:02.960 --> 00:10:08.120
to bring to the meal to accessorize to.

183
00:10:08.000 --> 00:10:12.600
A Thanksgiving yes celebration. Okay, yes, I am known for

184
00:10:12.840 --> 00:10:16.440
my cranberry sauce because Doc actually made one of.

185
00:10:16.440 --> 00:10:20.679
The four that I said you have to set aside. Listen, people,

186
00:10:21.639 --> 00:10:25.759
no turkey, no rashed potatoes, no stuffing, no, no cranberry.

187
00:10:25.879 --> 00:10:27.919
Those are all get included. We know that. So one

188
00:10:28.279 --> 00:10:33.240
one other dish that you want to have or you bring,

189
00:10:33.559 --> 00:10:35.600
or your quest of someone.

190
00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:38.080
Okay, sure it can't be cranberries because I wanted to

191
00:10:38.080 --> 00:10:40.320
say cranberries, but okay, all.

192
00:10:40.360 --> 00:10:43.360
Right, all right, we have run out of people, so

193
00:10:43.519 --> 00:10:44.639
thank you for joining us.

194
00:10:45.080 --> 00:10:48.080
No, okay, it would be Brussels sprouts. I love making

195
00:10:48.480 --> 00:10:51.080
roasted Brussels sprouts. I love doing those, guys. I cooked

196
00:10:51.120 --> 00:10:54.559
them all the time anyway. But regardless, for some reason,

197
00:10:55.000 --> 00:10:57.320
pork makes the difference, like you were saying about your

198
00:10:57.320 --> 00:11:00.440
pork and your ham, if I do cooke bacon or

199
00:11:00.440 --> 00:11:05.919
crumbled bacon on top of those Brussels sprouts, it is like, nah,

200
00:11:06.039 --> 00:11:09.120
it's amazing. So that's that's something I would definitely bring. Okay,

201
00:11:09.200 --> 00:11:10.639
what about you? Is there something there for me?

202
00:11:10.799 --> 00:11:14.440
That season of the year calls for some sort of

203
00:11:15.440 --> 00:11:20.960
vegetable soup and I've done squash yes soup. Although I

204
00:11:21.000 --> 00:11:22.919
do have to share that a couple of years ago

205
00:11:23.799 --> 00:11:26.080
I was pulling together all the ingredients and one of

206
00:11:26.080 --> 00:11:31.919
the ingredients is apple cider. Oh okay, and I you

207
00:11:31.919 --> 00:11:35.039
know this apple juice, but apple cider is a tough

208
00:11:35.600 --> 00:11:37.879
I don't find. In fact, I needed it again today

209
00:11:38.320 --> 00:11:42.039
for this year for the glaze to be used on

210
00:11:42.080 --> 00:11:45.399
the ham, and I couldn't find it. Finally I did

211
00:11:45.440 --> 00:11:48.320
find it at Whole foods. But the other stories I

212
00:11:48.360 --> 00:11:50.320
went to just say just as apple to I want

213
00:11:50.320 --> 00:11:53.960
the apple cider. But in this one year that I

214
00:11:54.039 --> 00:11:58.559
made the squash soup, I didn't read the label carefully

215
00:11:59.279 --> 00:12:01.200
and I got cider vinegar.

216
00:12:02.720 --> 00:12:05.399
Really it's a completely different bottle line.

217
00:12:05.440 --> 00:12:08.600
Well I know now. So I made the soup and.

218
00:12:08.559 --> 00:12:11.600
I tasted it, and like with sight with vinegar.

219
00:12:11.799 --> 00:12:15.759
Yeah, it did not come out good. Well, calling a

220
00:12:15.799 --> 00:12:17.360
friend of mine who's a great cook, and I said, okay,

221
00:12:17.399 --> 00:12:19.039
how do I fix this, because yeah, you don't you

222
00:12:19.039 --> 00:12:21.759
can't use that. So I literally had to toss the

223
00:12:21.840 --> 00:12:25.039
whole thing out. Yeah, go back to the store, buy

224
00:12:25.039 --> 00:12:28.360
more squash, make the soup again. Like the you know,

225
00:12:28.399 --> 00:12:30.720
the night before, it was just it was a little

226
00:12:30.720 --> 00:12:33.240
bit of a nightmare. But it turned out great. But

227
00:12:34.120 --> 00:12:36.279
just so you know, people, there's difference between apple cider

228
00:12:36.360 --> 00:12:41.399
and apple cider vinegar. Not gonna make that mistake again.

229
00:12:41.759 --> 00:12:44.480
Well, speaking of roasted vegetables, since we're on this and

230
00:12:44.519 --> 00:12:46.039
I know everyone had tuned in because they want to

231
00:12:46.159 --> 00:12:49.600
listen to our recipes, but actually I did as Oddly enough,

232
00:12:49.600 --> 00:12:53.200
I did roast a full sheet of tomatoes because I

233
00:12:53.240 --> 00:12:56.840
was going to make a tomato roasted tomato soup tonight.

234
00:12:56.879 --> 00:12:59.200
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, but I had an inspiration. What

235
00:12:59.320 --> 00:13:01.320
if I dig did all the steps to making the

236
00:13:01.399 --> 00:13:05.120
roasted tomato soup, made a cold soup with a shot

237
00:13:05.120 --> 00:13:14.039
of vodka on the side. Okay, and so did you

238
00:13:14.080 --> 00:13:16.240
do that or no, I'm going to try it because

239
00:13:16.279 --> 00:13:19.200
it's if you make this soup cold, obviously you roasted vegetables,

240
00:13:19.240 --> 00:13:21.799
it's already cold, and you blend everything up. Yeah. Yeah,

241
00:13:21.799 --> 00:13:24.279
it's basically a tomato. It's not a clear soup, but

242
00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:30.440
it's basically tomato puree roasted and it has garlic, you know,

243
00:13:30.559 --> 00:13:32.159
looking completely con no.

244
00:13:32.799 --> 00:13:35.120
I was thinking it to myself, it's like a bloody

245
00:13:35.120 --> 00:13:36.720
Mary exactly.

246
00:13:36.960 --> 00:13:42.440
Yeah, blood a roasted bloody a roasted tomato, bloody marry. Right,

247
00:13:43.039 --> 00:13:46.159
So I might try that. I probably like I do.

248
00:13:46.240 --> 00:13:48.159
Like a bloody Mary, and I do like tomato soup.

249
00:13:48.279 --> 00:13:53.720
So you know, I'm just their we'll see. I'll alert

250
00:13:53.759 --> 00:13:56.039
the media as soon as I get concoct this. But yeah,

251
00:13:56.080 --> 00:13:57.840
so I'm looking forward to making that too. Soup is

252
00:13:57.840 --> 00:14:01.799
always the thing. Although again, it's eighty degrees today, so

253
00:14:01.919 --> 00:14:03.879
we're going to go bike riding instead of like you know,

254
00:14:04.039 --> 00:14:08.720
hunkering down and you know, putting sweaters on and listened

255
00:14:08.720 --> 00:14:10.840
by the fire because it's just it's too hot.

256
00:14:11.240 --> 00:14:13.159
Well, here in the Bay Area we had the appropriate

257
00:14:13.480 --> 00:14:16.120
weather of in the fifties, so yeah, you know, it

258
00:14:16.159 --> 00:14:19.519
felt like Thanksgiving. Yes, I don't know if you check

259
00:14:19.559 --> 00:14:23.000
your phone this morning, but I sent you a video

260
00:14:23.000 --> 00:14:27.759
that I found online. It was a setting, a Thanksgiving setting,

261
00:14:27.799 --> 00:14:30.679
a whole group. They had a big long table with

262
00:14:30.840 --> 00:14:33.519
all the dishes, and there was a young girl. She

263
00:14:33.720 --> 00:14:37.159
just finished saying a speech or doing something and everyone's

264
00:14:37.200 --> 00:14:40.480
all around the room and then there's silence and the

265
00:14:40.519 --> 00:14:46.799
whole long table collapses. All the food fell to the ground.

266
00:14:47.559 --> 00:14:50.639
What was it a real scene? Was it? Or yeah?

267
00:14:50.639 --> 00:14:51.080
I guess so.

268
00:14:51.759 --> 00:14:52.120
No.

269
00:14:53.039 --> 00:14:55.080
I sent it to you so that when we promote

270
00:14:55.080 --> 00:14:58.279
this episode, so if you say Thanksgiving always gets the shaft,

271
00:14:58.639 --> 00:15:00.000
you insert that video.

272
00:15:00.360 --> 00:15:02.879
Oh I if I can get that on us, if

273
00:15:02.879 --> 00:15:04.080
I can get that on if I can get that

274
00:15:04.159 --> 00:15:05.840
on the recording, I'll absolutely do that.

275
00:15:06.039 --> 00:15:09.440
Yeah, okay, but yeah it was. It was shocking. I mean,

276
00:15:09.600 --> 00:15:12.519
like because you think about all the hours that people

277
00:15:12.559 --> 00:15:15.320
put into getting this ready and setting it up and

278
00:15:15.360 --> 00:15:19.720
gathering everyone. Yes, and then the big moment and it

279
00:15:19.720 --> 00:15:21.799
gets literally trashed in the ground.

280
00:15:22.759 --> 00:15:25.759
Well, okay, quick story Thanksgiving related to is because I

281
00:15:25.799 --> 00:15:28.120
think I told you the story of the table, right,

282
00:15:28.279 --> 00:15:30.000
the table that Anthony built.

283
00:15:31.039 --> 00:15:33.919
Oh, yes, I think you did, but it was refreshed

284
00:15:34.000 --> 00:15:35.120
my memory very quickly.

285
00:15:35.200 --> 00:15:37.320
It was a table. We had decided a number of

286
00:15:37.639 --> 00:15:39.120
a few years back that we're going to have X

287
00:15:39.200 --> 00:15:41.600
number of people join us for Thanksgiving, right, and we thought,

288
00:15:41.600 --> 00:15:43.919
you know our house. You've been to my place. Basically

289
00:15:44.000 --> 00:15:46.759
it's a great room, and there's not a space for

290
00:15:46.840 --> 00:15:49.600
a very long table to accommodate ten or twelve people.

291
00:15:50.080 --> 00:15:54.720
It just wouldn't work. So he had the brainstorm to

292
00:15:55.320 --> 00:16:00.200
make a beautiful walnut table that's around i'd say eleven

293
00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:04.000
or eight feet long, which he constructed and he said,

294
00:16:04.039 --> 00:16:06.960
and it was it's beautiful. The thing is the sucker's heavy.

295
00:16:07.159 --> 00:16:10.960
I was, so, yeah, so we have to go yes,

296
00:16:11.000 --> 00:16:13.639
so we have a two story house and what happens

297
00:16:13.759 --> 00:16:17.279
is we have to do that pavat pavet paaravat to

298
00:16:17.320 --> 00:16:20.279
get that thing's hilarious. So yeah, and that was that

299
00:16:20.440 --> 00:16:22.600
was fun the first year. So I basically had to said,

300
00:16:22.639 --> 00:16:24.799
you know what, you're gonna cut that thing in half,

301
00:16:25.080 --> 00:16:27.720
cut it in half, make it two squares, and then

302
00:16:27.759 --> 00:16:32.039
we'll take it up. It's as heavy, it's it's half

303
00:16:32.080 --> 00:16:34.919
as heavy as it was before when you're taking up

304
00:16:34.919 --> 00:16:38.200
a single piece, so it's another pair vetat so it's like.

305
00:16:38.320 --> 00:16:41.120
You know, yeah, what's half of heavy? As fun.

306
00:16:43.600 --> 00:16:46.080
So that was funny, but it's it's a great thing.

307
00:16:46.159 --> 00:16:48.080
I mean it actually so we can everyone can sider

308
00:16:48.080 --> 00:16:50.600
it one table instead of having like separate tables because

309
00:16:50.639 --> 00:16:53.360
that never works. So I thought that was funny. So

310
00:16:53.399 --> 00:16:55.639
I gotta give him credit, you know where credit is due.

311
00:16:55.639 --> 00:17:00.120
He had the innovation, the wherewithal to create this, this

312
00:17:00.120 --> 00:17:02.440
beautiful table that he had to cut in half.

313
00:17:03.679 --> 00:17:07.119
Anyway, well, speaking of giving credits, and since it is Thanksgiving,

314
00:17:08.720 --> 00:17:12.119
on social media today, one of her high school friends

315
00:17:12.160 --> 00:17:16.759
and guest of Donna Gary doing sixty, Christine Freeman. She's

316
00:17:16.799 --> 00:17:20.440
in New York right now for the Thanksgiving holidays, and

317
00:17:20.519 --> 00:17:27.640
she posted a tag that says balloon handler buzz light

318
00:17:27.720 --> 00:17:32.200
Year for Disney. I was thirty four, so she got

319
00:17:32.240 --> 00:17:36.160
to be one of the people holding buzz light Year float.

320
00:17:36.440 --> 00:17:38.799
I thought, did you speak about that on the podcast

321
00:17:38.839 --> 00:17:39.160
with us?

322
00:17:39.160 --> 00:17:40.720
If that was one of I don't remember, but I

323
00:17:40.759 --> 00:17:42.519
saw this. I'm like, well, we have to mention that.

324
00:17:43.160 --> 00:17:46.680
Yes, congratulations Christine Freeman. That's amazing.

325
00:17:47.440 --> 00:17:48.799
Yeah, so that was really fun.

326
00:17:48.920 --> 00:17:50.519
Are there any photos of her doing it?

327
00:17:50.839 --> 00:17:52.839
No, it was just she was a picture of her

328
00:17:52.880 --> 00:17:53.720
holding the tag.

329
00:17:54.200 --> 00:17:54.559
Wow.

330
00:17:54.920 --> 00:17:57.200
Okay, so I guess she was a little busy. She

331
00:17:57.200 --> 00:17:59.519
couldn't take pictures while she's holding a buzz light year right,

332
00:18:00.359 --> 00:18:04.119
could have been a disaster that would have made the news.

333
00:18:05.640 --> 00:18:07.519
And then there's a couple other things I wanted to

334
00:18:07.559 --> 00:18:10.720
share with you since I pulled it up. Although this

335
00:18:10.799 --> 00:18:14.039
is more Christmas than Thanksgiving, but it does relate to,

336
00:18:14.279 --> 00:18:16.920
you know, those of us that are of a certain age.

337
00:18:18.079 --> 00:18:21.720
It says, just a Christmas reminder. If your birth year

338
00:18:21.839 --> 00:18:26.519
starts with nineteen, wrap your presents on a table, not

339
00:18:26.720 --> 00:18:30.200
the floor. Now do you know the reason for that?

340
00:18:31.000 --> 00:18:36.640
Because he can't get up exactly, so you got to

341
00:18:36.720 --> 00:18:37.319
plan ahead.

342
00:18:37.319 --> 00:18:40.599
I mean, I've never wrapped on the floor. I've always

343
00:18:41.240 --> 00:18:48.000
I'll do it right now, but I'm bump somehow I

344
00:18:48.079 --> 00:18:53.200
knew that would come up. And the other again non

345
00:18:53.240 --> 00:18:57.759
Thanksgiving related, but I do like the message. It's I

346
00:18:57.799 --> 00:19:05.400
know how much you love the housewives, but so one

347
00:19:05.440 --> 00:19:08.440
of the housewives in Beverly Hills, this beautiful black woman,

348
00:19:09.480 --> 00:19:12.519
she's like, you know, has worked as an executive in

349
00:19:12.759 --> 00:19:17.279
multiple big companies, right, so she's like high power and

350
00:19:17.319 --> 00:19:20.000
she's one of the newer members on Beverly Hills of

351
00:19:20.799 --> 00:19:27.359
Housewives of Beverly Hills. And she's very tall, very statuesque, beautiful,

352
00:19:27.440 --> 00:19:30.359
you know, big hair, and the way she dresses is

353
00:19:30.440 --> 00:19:32.880
like it's Beverly Hills, right, very fashion for we're like,

354
00:19:33.160 --> 00:19:37.039
you know, big gowns, big ear rings and earring. Her

355
00:19:37.079 --> 00:19:39.960
earrings usually as big as your head. I mean they're

356
00:19:40.000 --> 00:19:40.839
big ass ear rings.

357
00:19:41.400 --> 00:19:43.880
But her eyes rub together when she walks.

358
00:19:44.039 --> 00:19:48.720
Well, I'm not going to get that personal, but it's

359
00:19:48.720 --> 00:19:50.920
one of those that she's very nice and very smart

360
00:19:51.319 --> 00:19:53.839
and she tries to stay out of the drama. But

361
00:19:54.400 --> 00:19:56.759
she's doing interviews and people are commenting on the way

362
00:19:56.759 --> 00:19:58.720
she dresses. Like some people love us. Some people are like,

363
00:19:58.759 --> 00:20:02.000
oh no, it's too crazy. So someone says, y'all need

364
00:20:02.000 --> 00:20:04.880
to hop off her style. It is a reflection and

365
00:20:05.039 --> 00:20:08.839
homage to her African culture. Is she over the top

366
00:20:09.759 --> 00:20:14.200
or are you under the bottom? Is she too much

367
00:20:14.920 --> 00:20:19.319
or are you not enough? I saw that comment.

368
00:20:19.400 --> 00:20:19.880
I love that.

369
00:20:20.200 --> 00:20:26.200
I as a very smart person Ricardo Luis Son who

370
00:20:26.440 --> 00:20:27.240
made that comment.

371
00:20:27.640 --> 00:20:29.720
But I just love that. I think we're going to

372
00:20:29.799 --> 00:20:30.319
steal that.

373
00:20:32.359 --> 00:20:37.680
Except someone's like, she is so under the bottom and

374
00:20:37.759 --> 00:20:39.400
are you not enough? Right?

375
00:20:40.319 --> 00:20:40.839
I love that.

376
00:20:41.279 --> 00:20:44.319
Love us too much and some of us are maybe

377
00:20:44.359 --> 00:20:47.279
not enough. Yes, I love Just be happy with who

378
00:20:47.319 --> 00:20:48.200
you are and where you are.

379
00:20:48.680 --> 00:20:50.519
Yeah. So you know what, I think we've paid our

380
00:20:50.519 --> 00:20:54.359
homage to Thanksgiving. We still love it. It's still I mean,

381
00:20:54.440 --> 00:20:57.519
I mean, you know, of course the calendar moves on

382
00:20:57.680 --> 00:20:59.240
the day moves on the day after. It is all

383
00:20:59.279 --> 00:21:03.519
about supposedly shopping for Black Friday and getting deals and

384
00:21:03.559 --> 00:21:06.960
all this stuff. But I just me and my legs

385
00:21:06.960 --> 00:21:12.240
are not into it. But I'm just gonna fly away

386
00:21:12.240 --> 00:21:15.319
from that and just leave it. Are you a shopper

387
00:21:15.359 --> 00:21:16.839
at all? I'm blasd No.

388
00:21:16.839 --> 00:21:20.000
No, I've never no. And you know, it's hard with

389
00:21:20.039 --> 00:21:21.599
our family because there's so many of us, and we've

390
00:21:21.640 --> 00:21:24.480
never I've always wanted to do, Hey, let's do the

391
00:21:24.519 --> 00:21:26.039
secret Santa where we all pick names.

392
00:21:26.119 --> 00:21:26.759
We never do that.

393
00:21:27.759 --> 00:21:30.960
So as my niece's nephews got older, what I started

394
00:21:30.960 --> 00:21:34.000
doing was, you know what I'm gonna donate to different

395
00:21:34.079 --> 00:21:37.000
organizations on behalf, you know, rather than spend the money

396
00:21:37.000 --> 00:21:39.160
on you, because we all have everything we need. So

397
00:21:39.400 --> 00:21:42.160
I'll donate to you know, local organizations like a food

398
00:21:42.200 --> 00:21:43.000
bank or something.

399
00:21:43.000 --> 00:21:45.440
I love that because it's like, do we need another shirt?

400
00:21:45.480 --> 00:21:47.200
Do we need another pair of socks? Do I need

401
00:21:47.240 --> 00:21:52.519
another turkey hat? Maybe? But not this way. No.

402
00:21:52.960 --> 00:21:55.279
Yeah, I'm like you, I've got too much of everything.

403
00:21:55.319 --> 00:21:57.799
I need to get more stuff away. I've already unloaded

404
00:21:57.799 --> 00:21:59.240
a lot of stuff I need to get rid of more,

405
00:21:59.519 --> 00:22:01.039
so I don't want more stuff coming in.

406
00:22:01.519 --> 00:22:03.960
Well, if it's okay, could we ask how your journey's

407
00:22:04.000 --> 00:22:07.279
going with your your weight loss and everything? Has that

408
00:22:07.440 --> 00:22:08.720
moved any ticks left right?

409
00:22:09.680 --> 00:22:13.960
It's it's kind of I'm hovering in that same holidays

410
00:22:13.960 --> 00:22:18.559
of range. I mentioned previously that my doctor wanted to

411
00:22:18.559 --> 00:22:23.640
switch me from a zempic to another medication and hoping

412
00:22:23.680 --> 00:22:28.240
that that would maybe give me the next step and

413
00:22:28.359 --> 00:22:32.559
weight loss, but insurance wouldn't cover it. Okay, God, because

414
00:22:32.599 --> 00:22:34.359
they said, oh, you've only done a zempic. If you'd

415
00:22:34.400 --> 00:22:37.359
done trulicity and one other one, maybe we'd consider it.

416
00:22:37.599 --> 00:22:39.559
So doctor Cenos is way to off the new year

417
00:22:40.559 --> 00:22:44.400
because insurance companies tend to maybe switch things around and

418
00:22:44.440 --> 00:22:45.960
then we'll just you know, figured it out from there.

419
00:22:46.000 --> 00:22:47.119
So we'll just wait to the new.

420
00:22:47.079 --> 00:22:50.559
Year, right. And also the holidays don't help because there's

421
00:22:50.599 --> 00:22:53.799
lots of parties, lots of cookies, lots of everything. So

422
00:22:53.839 --> 00:22:55.559
it's like, you know, enjoy the holidays.

423
00:22:56.000 --> 00:22:58.720
Yes, last night's dinner, I did what I normally try

424
00:22:58.799 --> 00:23:00.559
not to do, was I went back for seconds.

425
00:23:00.880 --> 00:23:05.000
Why not turkey zero calories.

426
00:23:05.240 --> 00:23:08.519
But yeah, so so that's been going great. You know,

427
00:23:08.599 --> 00:23:10.880
it's it's I'm as long as I'm not gaining weight.

428
00:23:11.039 --> 00:23:13.440
I'm just kind of hovering up to down one whatever.

429
00:23:13.559 --> 00:23:16.039
So I'll just kind of right out the rest of

430
00:23:16.079 --> 00:23:18.000
the year and then we'll see what happens in the

431
00:23:18.039 --> 00:23:23.640
new year. But moving forward with that, and then today's Friday,

432
00:23:23.680 --> 00:23:26.480
the day after thanks Saving. On Monday, I leave for Munich,

433
00:23:26.519 --> 00:23:29.599
Germany for a week. Yes, I'm very excited about that.

434
00:23:30.000 --> 00:23:32.200
I've got clothes, I've washed clothes, and I've laid everything

435
00:23:32.200 --> 00:23:34.000
out trying to figureut what I'm gonna what I'm gonna pack.

436
00:23:34.759 --> 00:23:38.559
Going with two friends, flying into a direct which is great. No,

437
00:23:38.920 --> 00:23:42.319
it's a NonStop flight from San Francisco to Munich. So

438
00:23:42.359 --> 00:23:46.319
we take off Monday, arrived Tuesday morning, and then I

439
00:23:46.400 --> 00:23:50.319
will fly back the following week, and so looking forward

440
00:23:50.359 --> 00:23:51.960
to it. So most of the time I'm sure we'll

441
00:23:52.000 --> 00:23:55.160
be spent in Munich, but we will consider taking the

442
00:23:55.200 --> 00:23:58.200
train to like towns that are nearby to go visit

443
00:23:58.240 --> 00:24:00.799
other cities and their markets their Christmas.

444
00:24:00.640 --> 00:24:02.960
Right, But tell everyone again, this was to go to

445
00:24:03.000 --> 00:24:05.160
a specific market, wasn't it for you?

446
00:24:05.279 --> 00:24:08.240
Well, throughout Europe, the big cities and the small towns,

447
00:24:08.279 --> 00:24:10.400
they all put on their version of a Christmas market,

448
00:24:10.480 --> 00:24:13.240
which are the outdoor vendors, usually in a big plaza

449
00:24:13.720 --> 00:24:17.599
and they're selling food or they're selling you know, knickknacks

450
00:24:17.640 --> 00:24:21.599
of whatever. And of course there's the decorations and the

451
00:24:21.680 --> 00:24:25.319
lights and the music and they'll be performances, so it's

452
00:24:25.400 --> 00:24:29.160
kind of just a big outdoor party. So our home

453
00:24:29.160 --> 00:24:31.680
base will be Munich. We rented an airbnb there for

454
00:24:31.720 --> 00:24:34.119
the three of us. Nice we will do like day

455
00:24:34.160 --> 00:24:36.759
trips over there two other towns.

456
00:24:36.680 --> 00:24:38.799
Don't you prefer. I think it's great to do an

457
00:24:38.839 --> 00:24:41.160
airbnb because you have it's more of a homey feel.

458
00:24:41.200 --> 00:24:44.640
It's not like little hotel room, plenty of room to

459
00:24:44.799 --> 00:24:46.559
walk around do things. You can do meals there if

460
00:24:46.559 --> 00:24:47.000
you wanted to.

461
00:24:47.119 --> 00:24:49.519
Right, there's an awful market across the streets, so we

462
00:24:49.519 --> 00:24:51.839
can pick up some you know, food and cyreal whatever,

463
00:24:52.480 --> 00:24:55.160
excuse me, And yeah I do. I've always prefer that

464
00:24:55.799 --> 00:25:00.319
to even before airbeing I would look to rent an apartment, yeah,

465
00:25:00.400 --> 00:25:02.400
in whatever city I was in, because it just yeah,

466
00:25:02.400 --> 00:25:04.799
you just have that. You have your living room and

467
00:25:04.839 --> 00:25:07.359
your kitchen and whatever. It's not just the bed in

468
00:25:07.400 --> 00:25:08.960
the after room, right, Yeah, I love it. So I

469
00:25:09.000 --> 00:25:11.720
definitely prefer that. So that's coming up.

470
00:25:12.039 --> 00:25:15.079
But you're gonna have snow, won't you have? Winter? True winter?

471
00:25:15.400 --> 00:25:18.079
Oh yes, I've been checking the weather report. The snow

472
00:25:18.160 --> 00:25:22.200
started now. There's a niece of one of my travel

473
00:25:22.240 --> 00:25:25.039
mats who lives with her family outside of Munich about

474
00:25:25.039 --> 00:25:26.720
an hour and a half, and she posted a couple

475
00:25:26.759 --> 00:25:29.440
of days ago that the first snows are falling. But

476
00:25:29.519 --> 00:25:30.799
that's an hour and a half away, So I don't know

477
00:25:30.799 --> 00:25:34.599
if Music, Munich is snowing right now, but I did check.

478
00:25:34.640 --> 00:25:37.880
In terms of temperature, it's in the thirties and forties.

479
00:25:38.440 --> 00:25:39.079
Good luck with that.

480
00:25:39.480 --> 00:25:42.519
So I got my thermals I'm you know, I'm wearing

481
00:25:42.519 --> 00:25:43.799
one of my new knit hats.

482
00:25:44.079 --> 00:25:47.119
I love that specifically, it's kind of cool that you

483
00:25:47.119 --> 00:25:50.519
get to get experience because San Francisco doesn't get snow traditionally.

484
00:25:50.559 --> 00:25:52.440
I think that I remember they snowed there once.

485
00:25:52.559 --> 00:25:54.319
Something kind of one hand that the number of times

486
00:25:54.319 --> 00:25:56.680
in snow. But it's yeah, it's not we're not cold enough,

487
00:25:56.680 --> 00:26:00.319
we're not high enough to to experience snow. But it

488
00:26:00.359 --> 00:26:01.240
has snowed here before.

489
00:26:01.359 --> 00:26:04.759
Not a dip your toe into the winter wonderland a

490
00:26:04.799 --> 00:26:06.200
little bit, hopefully.

491
00:26:06.160 --> 00:26:07.079
With thermal socks.

492
00:26:07.119 --> 00:26:12.319
Yes, well, yes, don't take your shoes off in the no, no, no. Yeah.

493
00:26:12.400 --> 00:26:14.279
So that's what I've got going on in the next

494
00:26:14.279 --> 00:26:15.640
couple of days. What about you anything.

495
00:26:16.799 --> 00:26:21.079
Traditionally we would have a couple guests either for Christmas,

496
00:26:21.079 --> 00:26:25.160
but this year I think we're going to wing it traditionally,

497
00:26:25.200 --> 00:26:27.559
Like sometimes Victoria would come to stay with us for

498
00:26:27.640 --> 00:26:31.640
the holidays. She has other plans this year. Then my

499
00:26:31.720 --> 00:26:33.880
in laws had thought about coming to see us, So

500
00:26:33.960 --> 00:26:35.359
we'll see. We're kind of up in the air on

501
00:26:35.400 --> 00:26:37.720
it right now. I'm actually okay with it. I'm definitely

502
00:26:37.759 --> 00:26:40.680
implanning a New Year's brunch, which we do traditionally your

503
00:26:40.759 --> 00:26:43.640
next and open up to the neighbors and whoever's in town.

504
00:26:44.079 --> 00:26:46.359
So yeah, I'm looking forward to that again, you know,

505
00:26:46.559 --> 00:26:49.799
not making a huge splash into Christmas. It might be

506
00:26:49.839 --> 00:26:51.839
a little cool. Excuse me, someone's knocking at my door.

507
00:26:51.880 --> 00:26:52.720
I have to go get them.

508
00:26:52.720 --> 00:26:57.319
Hold on, someone's knocking at the door. Someone's ringing the best.

509
00:26:57.400 --> 00:27:01.640

510
00:27:01.680 --> 00:27:02.319

517
00:27:16.519 --> 00:27:19.279
Yes, he's one of the co executive producers. I don't

518
00:27:19.319 --> 00:27:22.000
have a turkey hat for him. But he's basically saying that.

519
00:27:22.119 --> 00:27:23.680
He had well, he had it, but he ate it.

520
00:27:24.480 --> 00:27:25.880
Yeah, So anyway, sorry about that.

521
00:27:26.839 --> 00:27:28.680
I was going to say that in addition to having

522
00:27:28.720 --> 00:27:31.359
this week off that's coming, I also have time off

523
00:27:31.400 --> 00:27:34.519
between Christmas and New Year's because our office closes. So

524
00:27:36.039 --> 00:27:37.920
I don't know, I forgot what day of the week

525
00:27:38.160 --> 00:27:40.519
it falls on, but it'll be a week or more

526
00:27:40.640 --> 00:27:43.680
that I'll have a So during that time between Christmas

527
00:27:43.720 --> 00:27:45.400

528
00:27:45.480 --> 00:27:45.920
visit John.

529
00:27:46.240 --> 00:27:47.880
Oh good for you, I mean, and the weather is

530
00:27:47.880 --> 00:27:49.720
probably pretty nice over there. Sure. Yeah.

531
00:27:49.759 --> 00:27:52.079
So I'm flying down on the twenty six and which

532
00:27:52.119 --> 00:27:55.440
is a Friday, and I'm flying back on the twenty ninth,

533
00:27:55.480 --> 00:27:56.640
I think, which is a Monday.

534
00:27:56.720 --> 00:27:58.920
So you're booked. I mean, you're going to be gone

535
00:27:59.000 --> 00:28:00.720
for what you said.

536
00:28:02.200 --> 00:28:04.039
I go Monday and I fly back Monday. So it's

537
00:28:04.079 --> 00:28:05.799
eight well you know, seven eight days.

538
00:28:05.599 --> 00:28:07.960
Yeah, eight days and then back and then off again.

539
00:28:08.680 --> 00:28:10.400
Right, but I you know, I come back. I arrive

540
00:28:10.599 --> 00:28:16.559

541
00:28:16.559 --> 00:28:19.759

542
00:28:19.839 --> 00:28:23.200

543
00:28:23.200 --> 00:28:25.880
holiday party here. Thursday night there's another party that I

544
00:28:25.920 --> 00:28:29.279
have to go to. H And they have relatives coming

545
00:28:29.279 --> 00:28:30.920
in from out of town just for that week, so

546
00:28:30.920 --> 00:28:32.480
I'll have to, you know, we have to have a

547
00:28:32.480 --> 00:28:35.400
family dinner with them. So it'll be a super busy

548
00:28:35.720 --> 00:28:37.359
week when I get back, and I'll still be on

549
00:28:37.400 --> 00:28:38.039
Germany time.

550
00:28:38.440 --> 00:28:40.359
Color yourself popular.

551
00:28:40.799 --> 00:28:42.920
Well, you know, I do what I can with what

552
00:28:42.960 --> 00:28:43.559
I have left.

553
00:28:44.559 --> 00:28:48.000
But you're not you're what. You're not a bottom, You're

554
00:28:48.039 --> 00:28:50.039
a You're you're over the top.

555
00:28:50.759 --> 00:28:54.480
I didn't Sorry, Sorry, that's your family show.

556
00:28:55.279 --> 00:28:56.359
What was the saying again?

557
00:28:57.279 --> 00:28:59.759
Are you over the top or are you under the bottom?

558
00:29:00.079 --> 00:29:03.279
You're over the top and you're too much?

559
00:29:05.240 --> 00:29:07.680
I can be both and all at the same time.

560
00:29:08.240 --> 00:29:12.000
Akay, whatever? What? Yes?

561
00:29:12.279 --> 00:29:14.240
I was gonna say? Was there anything else that we

562
00:29:14.519 --> 00:29:16.240
I thought there was something else I wanted to mention,

563
00:29:16.359 --> 00:29:18.200
But maybe that's it unless you got something else.

564
00:29:18.240 --> 00:29:20.160
I think maybe we should just talk about the rest

565
00:29:20.160 --> 00:29:23.759
of the season. You have a couple more episodes in

566
00:29:23.799 --> 00:29:26.720
the can or in the Turkey Roaster for the Night,

567
00:29:27.079 --> 00:29:30.240
But so we do have a couple of ain't nobody

568
00:29:30.240 --> 00:29:34.160
got time for that segments coming up with Marty Bean

569
00:29:34.279 --> 00:29:37.039
and with Sue Acton, who are coming in. So they're

570
00:29:37.079 --> 00:29:38.920
all friends of the pod and I'm looking forward to that.

571
00:29:38.920 --> 00:29:41.119
We're probably going to close out the season, so I

572
00:29:41.160 --> 00:29:43.559
guess we should decide whether we want to do well.

573
00:29:43.559 --> 00:29:45.759
We probably have time for a Christmas episode, don't.

574
00:29:45.640 --> 00:29:48.480
Yeah, because I'll be back, So yeah, we'll talk about

575
00:29:48.519 --> 00:29:55.839
doing a pumpery Christmas New year's mash up.

576
00:29:56.200 --> 00:29:59.039
Okay, because this is going to be episode sixteen for us,

577
00:29:59.279 --> 00:30:01.359
the two episod so this makes us seventeen and eighteen,

578
00:30:01.440 --> 00:30:03.720
so we need to do at least two to give

579
00:30:03.799 --> 00:30:08.160
us twenty oh my godness, pressure twenty episodes for season two. No.

580
00:30:08.200 --> 00:30:09.160
One ends on nineteen.

581
00:30:11.559 --> 00:30:13.960
I never, I'm not going to. I messed it up

582
00:30:14.000 --> 00:30:16.240
the other time. I'm I know you can no, but

583
00:30:16.319 --> 00:30:18.279
I am. I just have to say I'm most looking

584
00:30:18.279 --> 00:30:22.640
forward to our our reveal for season three. I've when

585
00:30:22.680 --> 00:30:27.440
working on and editing it, editing it tirelessly. It's going

586
00:30:27.519 --> 00:30:29.960
to be really good. I've been working on it, and

587
00:30:30.279 --> 00:30:31.920
I won't let you know yet. We'll give a little

588
00:30:31.920 --> 00:30:34.079
teaser maybe about it, with dropping some of the music

589
00:30:34.079 --> 00:30:36.160
that is related to later, but it's a little surprise.

590
00:30:36.200 --> 00:30:37.240
I'll share it with you too. Well.

591
00:30:37.279 --> 00:30:39.240
I've said it before and i'll say it again that

592
00:30:39.480 --> 00:30:41.680
kudos to you for all the hard work and hours

593
00:30:41.720 --> 00:30:44.920
you put in for the editing and the videos and

594
00:30:45.000 --> 00:30:47.160
the some of stuff where you pull that up from.

595
00:30:47.240 --> 00:30:48.160
I have no idea.

596
00:30:48.400 --> 00:30:50.119
Hey listen, it keeps me off the street and off

597
00:30:50.119 --> 00:30:50.519
the pole.

598
00:30:51.359 --> 00:30:55.480
Well, but no, thank you for all all that you do.

599
00:30:55.559 --> 00:30:58.480
Because it's it's so much I could not do it

600
00:30:58.519 --> 00:31:01.200
without you, and I am I'm very thankful that we

601
00:31:01.240 --> 00:31:03.880
have been friends for three hundred and seventy seven years

602
00:31:03.920 --> 00:31:10.000
now and a half. But this has been fun. I

603
00:31:10.079 --> 00:31:12.200
truly enjoyed doing this in there. It's so much fun.

604
00:31:12.200 --> 00:31:13.799
It's a great way for us to keep in touch,

605
00:31:13.799 --> 00:31:16.359
of course, right, It's also what I'm really enjoying is

606
00:31:16.400 --> 00:31:18.160
integrating a lot of people that we know in our

607
00:31:18.200 --> 00:31:20.599
lives and keeping them in touch because I'm sure they

608
00:31:20.680 --> 00:31:22.759
enjoy it too, right, right? Right? Are they better because

609
00:31:22.759 --> 00:31:24.759
we pay them a lot of money to enjoy it? Well?

610
00:31:24.799 --> 00:31:28.279
I think I mentioned that, you know, there's locally here

611
00:31:28.319 --> 00:31:30.079
in the Bear, there's a group of friends and we

612
00:31:30.200 --> 00:31:31.799
keep that I keep in touch with and so you

613
00:31:31.839 --> 00:31:34.559
saw them all in August when we had the big picnic.

614
00:31:34.880 --> 00:31:38.240
But one of them says, Gary, what's what's next on

615
00:31:38.319 --> 00:31:42.960
my schedule? Because I'm the organizer, right, So I tried

616
00:31:42.960 --> 00:31:45.680
to schedule and a circus delace coming into town. Nice,

617
00:31:45.920 --> 00:31:48.319
So I tried to organize that. But you know, it's

618
00:31:48.400 --> 00:31:50.920
it's hard with the holidays, people either traveling or have

619
00:31:51.000 --> 00:31:54.200
other commitments, so people get booked up. So right now.

620
00:31:54.240 --> 00:31:57.039
The only thing that's tentative on the calendar is a

621
00:31:57.200 --> 00:32:01.400
brunch on Sunday, January eleventh. I think it's the date,

622
00:32:01.920 --> 00:32:03.799
and then I'll reach out after the holidays. All right,

623
00:32:03.799 --> 00:32:04.440
who's available?

624
00:32:04.519 --> 00:32:07.880
Let's biggest spot you're gonna have at doing yourself for

625
00:32:07.920 --> 00:32:10.519
the hundred Park get together was huge, So I look

626
00:32:10.559 --> 00:32:12.759
forward to a spring awakening of some kind.

627
00:32:12.759 --> 00:32:13.000
But you.

628
00:32:15.279 --> 00:32:16.759
Guys all went to Filoly, didn't you.

629
00:32:17.480 --> 00:32:19.279
Yeah, there was a group of us that went to Filoly,

630
00:32:19.359 --> 00:32:22.519
which is for those that don't know, it's a big

631
00:32:22.680 --> 00:32:26.160
estate that's here on the peninsula south of San Francisco.

632
00:32:26.880 --> 00:32:30.119
It's famous for having been featured at the opening credits

633
00:32:30.119 --> 00:32:33.039
of the TV show Dynasty, the original series, and also

634
00:32:33.160 --> 00:32:37.119
in the Warren Baby movie Heaven Can Wait. So it's

635
00:32:37.119 --> 00:32:40.799
it was, you know, a private family home with tons

636
00:32:40.799 --> 00:32:44.839
of gardens all around it, and it's basically a museum.

637
00:32:44.880 --> 00:32:46.759
If you will, you go visit, you pay, you get

638
00:32:46.759 --> 00:32:49.799
to tour the house, tour the gardens. And so what

639
00:32:49.799 --> 00:32:53.359
they started doing last year was during the fall months

640
00:32:53.400 --> 00:32:59.400
and that Thanks Halloween to Thanksgiving they'll decorate the house

641
00:32:59.480 --> 00:33:03.880
and the guard was for like Halloween themed, So there's

642
00:33:03.920 --> 00:33:07.000
ghosts and goblins and skeletons or whatever, and spider webs

643
00:33:07.039 --> 00:33:11.200
in the house whatever, and then they flip it for

644
00:33:11.680 --> 00:33:15.960
Christmas and you know, multiple trees and it's it's just

645
00:33:16.079 --> 00:33:18.519
really beautiful to go in. So we had a big

646
00:33:18.519 --> 00:33:20.839
group who went to dinner. There must have been like

647
00:33:20.880 --> 00:33:23.559
twelve of us, I think, wow, and did a dinner

648
00:33:23.559 --> 00:33:26.599
at a restaurant and then drove to tour the estate.

649
00:33:27.039 --> 00:33:29.640
So yeah, it was a lot of fun. So if

650
00:33:29.640 --> 00:33:32.319
you haven't been to Filola, you mustco it is a gorgeous,

651
00:33:32.359 --> 00:33:33.039
gorgeous place.

652
00:33:33.440 --> 00:33:33.920
Nice.

653
00:33:34.200 --> 00:33:37.400
So that's what's on our agenda for the rest of

654
00:33:37.440 --> 00:33:40.119
the year. So a couple more episodes that are already

655
00:33:40.119 --> 00:33:43.279
in the can, maybe a couple of new episodes, and

656
00:33:43.319 --> 00:33:47.279
then we'll take a short break after the holidays and

657
00:33:47.480 --> 00:33:49.640
come back for season.

658
00:33:49.400 --> 00:33:56.519
Three one, two three. Yeah, I'm getting a lot of

659
00:33:56.519 --> 00:33:57.440
mileageut of his hat.

660
00:33:57.839 --> 00:33:59.599
Well, you know, how often can you wear it?

661
00:34:00.079 --> 00:34:01.440
I can wear it as long as I want. I

662
00:34:01.440 --> 00:34:08.039
think that's right. Ubu celebrating Thanksgiving anyway, so every month

663
00:34:08.079 --> 00:34:10.079
