S2E16-Thanksgiving Gets The Shaft/Gobbled & Forgotten

0:06 Happy post Thanksgiving. I tried to put on some fall colors. Good idea, idea, some coffee. Holiday that gets the shaft. No editing, No matter what is said here, we're not going to edit it out. The turkey has more feathers the outside. Is that your pop up timer? Is that your pop up? Is that your pop up timer? Are you just happy to see me? Well? Hello, hello, Hello. Happy post Thanksgiving. I tried to put on some fall colors, good idea, and awesome coffee in a fall colored mug to get us.

0:54 In the mood. Okay, okay for this holiday that gets the shaft. Shut your mouth, puff puff, how are you? Did you have a great holiday? I did? Oh? Yes, go ahead. I was just gonna say before we get started, just so everyone knows, no editing, No matter what is said here, we're not going to edit it out. I better been something in my coffee then no. Yeah. So this is our post Thanksgiving holiday podcast episode only because, as we alluded to in the past, Christmas starts in like May. Hallmark Channel has been showing holiday theme movies.

1:42 They start in July. Of course, the big box stores and many other stores start showcasing holiday decorations. In August September and make a little room for holiday, for Halloween candy and then. And you know what, just to get to continue with that thought, basically, Christmas is over because everything that you want to go to buy at the stores is basically gone or marked to seventy five percent off already. It's crazy. It's crazy. So I take it because we're doing this. You're not in line at some Black Friday sale. You know what. That is a previous life of mine.

2:23 I was actually part of that world with the H and M and everything I was doing. Remember back in the day, like ten years ago, they would have those stores opening at nine o'clock or no, at six o'clock on Thanksgiving and then you would work. They would actually have people work all night long. Yeah, at retailers, it's like and there was such a stupid waste of time. So and I can say that now because I got my turkey can't care, and my turkey says so. And because this is a Thanksgiving themed episode, we can honestly say for people our age who'll know this person, I'm going to mention it's the Rodney danger field of holidays gets no respect.

3:03 Yeah, because it's such a good holiday. I mean, we'll get into it in a second, but I mean it's a great holiday, and I think it's something that should be spent a little more time enjoying. Of course, as a preparation for Thanksgiving, right, and there is the actual event of people coming or whatever you do to celebrate Thanksgiving. But I truly truly enjoy it. It's a great thing. I love entertaining. It is one of my favorites. Yeah, yeah, me too. And it's like all of a sudden, it's gone, it's done. And yeah, so anyway, anyway, so are we gonna do an introduction. Let's let's do a little break, do a little intro, and then and then we will have at it. Okay, well then hold on, hold on to your drumsticks. We'll be right back.

3:50 Well, welcome back, Welcome back to the Thanksgiving episode of Don and Gary doing sixty. I'm Gary that man, I'm Don alb Gobble. And for our intro, because it's Thanksgiving, I'm going to wing it right now. Welcome to Don and Gary, where we navigate what it means to be at this age. Got it. We are in our second season, approaching the end of our second season. That is crazy and we've had some wonderful guests and we have more coming. But in the meantime, you can hear us on Spotify, Apple Podcast, I Heart And if you want to see us as we are in our holiday and our Thanksgiving themed outfits, you can only see us on YouTube.

And yes, I mean, as you said in the past, you can't swing a dead turkey without finding it somewhere. So uh so, how was your Thanksgiving? It was so much fun. Thank you for asking me at first, I do have to start with one bad Thanksgiving joke? Of course, please do. The turkey has more feathers. I don't know the outside what else you got?

6:00 The last one? Is that your pop up tiner? Oh shit, pop up timer? Sorry, well don't is that? I'm sorry? Well now, it's is that your pop up timer? Are you just happy to see me? Oh? Don? I'm happy to see you. But yes, thank you for asking. It is my pop up time. Sorry go no, sorry, please. Tell us about your Thanksgiving. Oh it was okay again. We talked about this. I love entertaining. I truly do. And I know you and I've had multiple discussions about whether or not we like to be the preeople that are creating these events and making them happen. But I gotta say, I truly I enjoy entertaining. I love it. So we had nine people yesterday.

6:40 We'd counted on maybe a couple, but it was Stephen, Chris, Jonathan and Sonia, Alicia Simon and her mother Anita. And it was really a wonderful day. It was seventy eight degrees here at the beach. Crazy. It was crazy. So every you know, every year, I keep thinking that we see our memories pop up and say every year, all doors are open, all the fans are going, and it's just always warm here. So, yes, it was a wonderful time. We I'll tell everyone we cheated and went to Lazy Acres and ordered our food because it's just a lot easier to have a lot of things prepared. And did you make any of the dishes or everything was well. No, we did. I made, you know, all the regular stuff.

7:23 We wrap dates with bacon, cheese, logs, you know, all the regular stuff. And then of course everyone brought their things. So Sonya brought her amazing Italian stuffing which was huge, and then Simon brought over this huge, beautiful castle of string beans nice and we had everything, so it was just perfect. It was a perfect night. Everyone stayed for a long time. We started at one o'clock in the afternoon because Stephen Chris are coming in from Pump Springs, sure, and then to get back to their dogs. But you know, everyone else ended staying to like nine o'clock, so it was just a full day. It was really so that's why you allowed time to have apple tizers and then. Yeah, it's not a rushed event, but it is something where we've got to make sure that Stephen Chris can get back to their dogs in time because it's coming back from Palm Springs. It's a couple hours. But anyway, so it was. It was a wonderful event. Lovely, lovely, how about you, how is your event?

8:15 It's good now in the past and talk about appetizers in the past, when we would get together, we'd load up on appetizers by the time we sit down for the meal. I'm too fool of Like, wait a minute, I did not slave away all these hours for all this meal for you to you know, have like one little slice of turkey and whatever. So for our family gatherings, because we're sluchs, big eaters, we just like very light on the appetizers. Yep. But this year was the second year that my niece and her husband hosted us for Thanksgiving. Oh excuse me. They're about eleven of us, you know, and it's pot luck right everyone. You know, she organizes who's gonna bring what. So we decided this year we didn't want to do turkey, so we opted for ham. So I, oh, okay, I baked my first ham. And I'm not gonna brag, but I did get a lot of compliments on my ham.

9:05 It was a fourteen pounder. It was a lot of pork. A lot of porking going on. And also baked some apples to have as a side. And then we had like, you know, traditional green bean casserole and you know, the usual. And like I said, if I didn't say, they were about eleven of us, so it was really fun. Yeah, it is, of all the holidays, one of my favorites because it's not about gifts, right, it's you know, it's about getting your family friends together and just having a just a lovely evening. So for me, that's that's what it's about. I do want to ask you. My question to you about Thanksgiving that I alluded to came up in a meeting I was on the other night.

9:46 If you, in terms of Thanksgiving meal, if you take away the main dishes which everyone knows, turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, and cranberry sauce, set those aside. What's your go to dish that you want to have or maybe you're asked to bring to the meal to accessorize to. A Thanksgiving yes celebration. Okay, yes, I am known for my cranberry sauce because Doc actually made one of. The four that I said you have to set aside. Listen, people, no turkey, no rashed potatoes, no stuffing, no, no cranberry. Those are all get included. We know that. So one one other dish that you want to have or you bring, or your quest of someone.

10:35 Okay, sure it can't be cranberries because I wanted to say cranberries, but okay, all. Right, all right, we have run out of people, so thank you for joining us. No, okay, it would be Brussels sprouts. I love making roasted Brussels sprouts. I love doing those, guys. I cooked them all the time anyway. But regardless, for some reason, pork makes the difference, like you were saying about your pork and your ham, if I do cooke bacon or crumbled bacon on top of those Brussels sprouts, it is like, nah, it's amazing. So that's that's something I would definitely bring. Okay, what about you? Is there something there for me? That season of the year calls for some sort of vegetable soup and I've done squash yes soup. Although I do have to share that a couple of years ago I was pulling together all the ingredients and one of the ingredients is apple cider. Oh okay, and I you know this apple juice, but apple cider is a tough I don't find. In fact, I needed it again today for this year for the glaze to be used on the ham, and I couldn't find it. Finally I did find it at Whole foods. But the other stories I went to just say just as apple to I want the apple cider. But in this one year that I made the squash soup, I didn't read the label carefully and I got cider vinegar.

12:02 Really it's a completely different bottle line. Well I know now. So I made the soup and. I tasted it, and like with sight with vinegar. Yeah, it did not come out good. Well, calling a friend of mine who's a great cook, and I said, okay, how do I fix this, because yeah, you don't you can't use that. So I literally had to toss the whole thing out. Yeah, go back to the store, buy more squash, make the soup again. Like the you know, the night before, it was just it was a little bit of a nightmare. But it turned out great. But just so you know, people, there's difference between apple cider and apple cider vinegar. Not gonna make that mistake again. Well, speaking of roasted vegetables, since we're on this and I know everyone had tuned in because they want to listen to our recipes, but actually I did as Oddly enough, I did roast a full sheet of tomatoes because I was going to make a tomato roasted tomato soup tonight.

12:56 Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, but I had an inspiration. What if I dig did all the steps to making the roasted tomato soup, made a cold soup with a shot of vodka on the side. Okay, and so did you do that or no, I'm going to try it because it's if you make this soup cold, obviously you roasted vegetables, it's already cold, and you blend everything up. Yeah. Yeah, it's basically a tomato. It's not a clear soup, but it's basically tomato puree roasted and it has garlic, you know, looking completely con no. I was thinking it to myself, it's like a bloody Mary exactly.

13:36 Yeah, blood a roasted bloody a roasted tomato, bloody marry. Right, So I might try that. I probably like I do. Like a bloody Mary, and I do like tomato soup. So you know, I'm just their we'll see. I'll alert the media as soon as I get concoct this. But yeah, so I'm looking forward to making that too. Soup is always the thing. Although again, it's eighty degrees today, so we're going to go bike riding instead of like you know, hunkering down and you know, putting sweaters on and listened by the fire because it's just it's too hot. Well, here in the Bay Area we had the appropriate weather of in the fifties, so yeah, you know, it felt like Thanksgiving. Yes, I don't know if you check your phone this morning, but I sent you a video that I found online. It was a setting, a Thanksgiving setting, a whole group. They had a big long table with all the dishes, and there was a young girl. She just finished saying a speech or doing something and everyone's all around the room and then there's silence and the whole long table collapses. All the food fell to the ground.

14:47 What was it a real scene? Was it? Or yeah? I guess so. No. I sent it to you so that when we promote this episode, so if you say Thanksgiving always gets the shaft, you insert that video. Oh I if I can get that on us, if I can get that on if I can get that on the recording, I'll absolutely do that. Yeah, okay, but yeah it was. It was shocking. I mean, like because you think about all the hours that people put into getting this ready and setting it up and gathering everyone. Yes, and then the big moment and it gets literally trashed in the ground. Well, okay, quick story Thanksgiving related to is because I think I told you the story of the table, right, the table that Anthony built.

15:31 Oh, yes, I think you did, but it was refreshed my memory very quickly. It was a table. We had decided a number of a few years back that we're going to have X number of people join us for Thanksgiving, right, and we thought, you know our house. You've been to my place. Basically it's a great room, and there's not a space for a very long table to accommodate ten or twelve people. It just wouldn't work. So he had the brainstorm to make a beautiful walnut table that's around i'd say eleven or eight feet long, which he constructed and he said, and it was it's beautiful. The thing is the sucker's heavy. I was, so, yeah, so we have to go yes, so we have a two story house and what happens is we have to do that pavat pavet paaravat to get that thing's hilarious. So yeah, and that was that was fun the first year. So I basically had to said, you know what, you're gonna cut that thing in half, cut it in half, make it two squares, and then we'll take it up. It's as heavy, it's it's half as heavy as it was before when you're taking up a single piece, so it's another pair vetat so it's like.

16:38 You know, yeah, what's half of heavy? As fun. So that was funny, but it's it's a great thing. I mean it actually so we can everyone can sider it one table instead of having like separate tables because that never works. So I thought that was funny. So I gotta give him credit, you know where credit is due. He had the innovation, the wherewithal to create this, this beautiful table that he had to cut in half. Anyway, well, speaking of giving credits, and since it is Thanksgiving, on social media today, one of her high school friends and guest of Donna Gary doing sixty, Christine Freeman. She's in New York right now for the Thanksgiving holidays, and she posted a tag that says balloon handler buzz light Year for Disney. I was thirty four, so she got to be one of the people holding buzz light Year float.

17:36 I thought, did you speak about that on the podcast with us? If that was one of I don't remember, but I saw this. I'm like, well, we have to mention that. Yes, congratulations Christine Freeman. That's amazing. Yeah, so that was really fun. Are there any photos of her doing it? No, it was just she was a picture of her holding the tag. Wow. Okay, so I guess she was a little busy. She couldn't take pictures while she's holding a buzz light year right, could have been a disaster that would have made the news. And then there's a couple other things I wanted to share with you since I pulled it up. Although this is more Christmas than Thanksgiving, but it does relate to, you know, those of us that are of a certain age.

18:18 It says, just a Christmas reminder. If your birth year starts with nineteen, wrap your presents on a table, not the floor. Now do you know the reason for that? Because he can't get up exactly, so you got to plan ahead. I mean, I've never wrapped on the floor. I've always I'll do it right now, but I'm bump somehow I knew that would come up. And the other again non Thanksgiving related, but I do like the message. It's I know how much you love the housewives, but so one of the housewives in Beverly Hills, this beautiful black woman, she's like, you know, has worked as an executive in multiple big companies, right, so she's like high power and she's one of the newer members on Beverly Hills of Housewives of Beverly Hills. And she's very tall, very statuesque, beautiful, you know, big hair, and the way she dresses is like it's Beverly Hills, right, very fashion for we're like, you know, big gowns, big ear rings and earring. Her earrings usually as big as your head. I mean they're big ass ear rings.

19:41 But her eyes rub together when she walks. Well, I'm not going to get that personal, but it's one of those that she's very nice and very smart and she tries to stay out of the drama. But she's doing interviews and people are commenting on the way she dresses. Like some people love us. Some people are like, oh no, it's too crazy. So someone says, y'all need to hop off her style. It is a reflection and homage to her African culture. Is she over the top or are you under the bottom? Is she too much or are you not enough? I saw that comment. I love that. I as a very smart person Ricardo Luis Son who made that comment.

20:27 But I just love that. I think we're going to steal that. Except someone's like, she is so under the bottom and are you not enough? Right? I love that. Love us too much and some of us are maybe not enough. Yes, I love Just be happy with who you are and where you are. Yeah. So you know what, I think we've paid our homage to Thanksgiving. We still love it. It's still I mean, I mean, you know, of course the calendar moves on the day moves on the day after. It is all about supposedly shopping for Black Friday and getting deals and all this stuff. But I just me and my legs are not into it. But I'm just gonna fly away from that and just leave it. Are you a shopper at all? I'm blasd No.

21:16 No, I've never no. And you know, it's hard with our family because there's so many of us, and we've never I've always wanted to do, Hey, let's do the secret Santa where we all pick names. We never do that. So as my niece's nephews got older, what I started doing was, you know what I'm gonna donate to different organizations on behalf, you know, rather than spend the money on you, because we all have everything we need. So I'll donate to you know, local organizations like a food bank or something. I love that because it's like, do we need another shirt? Do we need another pair of socks? Do I need another turkey hat? Maybe? But not this way. No. Yeah, I'm like you, I've got too much of everything. I need to get more stuff away. I've already unloaded a lot of stuff I need to get rid of more, so I don't want more stuff coming in.

22:01 Well, if it's okay, could we ask how your journey's going with your your weight loss and everything? Has that moved any ticks left right? It's it's kind of I'm hovering in that same holidays of range. I mentioned previously that my doctor wanted to switch me from a zempic to another medication and hoping that that would maybe give me the next step and weight loss, but insurance wouldn't cover it. Okay, God, because they said, oh, you've only done a zempic. If you'd done trulicity and one other one, maybe we'd consider it. So doctor Cenos is way to off the new year because insurance companies tend to maybe switch things around and then we'll just you know, figured it out from there.

22:46 So we'll just wait to the new. Year, right. And also the holidays don't help because there's lots of parties, lots of cookies, lots of everything. So it's like, you know, enjoy the holidays. Yes, last night's dinner, I did what I normally try not to do, was I went back for seconds. Why not turkey zero calories. But yeah, so so that's been going great. You know, it's it's I'm as long as I'm not gaining weight. I'm just kind of hovering up to down one whatever. So I'll just kind of right out the rest of the year and then we'll see what happens in the new year. But moving forward with that, and then today's Friday, the day after thanks Saving. On Monday, I leave for Munich, Germany for a week. Yes, I'm very excited about that.

23:30 I've got clothes, I've washed clothes, and I've laid everything out trying to figureut what I'm gonna what I'm gonna pack. Going with two friends, flying into a direct which is great. No, it's a NonStop flight from San Francisco to Munich. So we take off Monday, arrived Tuesday morning, and then I will fly back the following week, and so looking forward to it. So most of the time I'm sure we'll be spent in Munich, but we will consider taking the train to like towns that are nearby to go visit other cities and their markets their Christmas. Right, But tell everyone again, this was to go to a specific market, wasn't it for you? Well, throughout Europe, the big cities and the small towns, they all put on their version of a Christmas market, which are the outdoor vendors, usually in a big plaza and they're selling food or they're selling you know, knickknacks of whatever. And of course there's the decorations and the lights and the music and they'll be performances, so it's kind of just a big outdoor party. So our home base will be Munich. We rented an airbnb there for the three of us. Nice we will do like day trips over there two other towns.

24:36 Don't you prefer. I think it's great to do an airbnb because you have it's more of a homey feel. It's not like little hotel room, plenty of room to walk around do things. You can do meals there if you wanted to. Right, there's an awful market across the streets, so we can pick up some you know, food and cyreal whatever, excuse me, And yeah I do. I've always prefer that to even before airbeing I would look to rent an apartment, yeah, in whatever city I was in, because it just yeah, you just have that. You have your living room and your kitchen and whatever. It's not just the bed in the after room, right, Yeah, I love it. So I definitely prefer that. So that's coming up. But you're gonna have snow, won't you have? Winter? True winter? Oh yes, I've been checking the weather report. The snow started now. There's a niece of one of my travel mats who lives with her family outside of Munich about an hour and a half, and she posted a couple of days ago that the first snows are falling. But that's an hour and a half away, So I don't know if Music, Munich is snowing right now, but I did check.

25:34 In terms of temperature, it's in the thirties and forties. Good luck with that. So I got my thermals I'm you know, I'm wearing one of my new knit hats. I love that specifically, it's kind of cool that you get to get experience because San Francisco doesn't get snow traditionally. I think that I remember they snowed there once. Something kind of one hand that the number of times in snow. But it's yeah, it's not we're not cold enough, we're not high enough to to experience snow. But it has snowed here before. Not a dip your toe into the winter wonderland a little bit, hopefully. With thermal socks. Yes, well, yes, don't take your shoes off in the no, no, no. Yeah. So that's what I've got going on in the next couple of days. What about you anything.

26:16 Traditionally we would have a couple guests either for Christmas, but this year I think we're going to wing it traditionally, Like sometimes Victoria would come to stay with us for the holidays. She has other plans this year. Then my in laws had thought about coming to see us, So we'll see. We're kind of up in the air on it right now. I'm actually okay with it. I'm definitely implanning a New Year's brunch, which we do traditionally your next and open up to the neighbors and whoever's in town. So yeah, I'm looking forward to that again, you know, not making a huge splash into Christmas. It might be a little cool. Excuse me, someone's knocking at my door. I have to go get them. Hold on, someone's knocking at the door. Someone's ringing the best.

26:57 Let me just share everybody are executive producer. Rocket decided to come and join it. Hello Rockets, so Rockets. Here say something to the people. Rocket and for. Those of you not watching us, Rocket is has. Four legs, yes he does, and a lot of hair at the door. So he wanted to come and join. Us as high Rocket. Yes, he's one of the co executive producers. I don't have a turkey hat for him. But he's basically saying that. He had well, he had it, but he ate it. Yeah, So anyway, sorry about that. I was going to say that in addition to having this week off that's coming, I also have time off between Christmas and New Year's because our office closes. So I don't know, I forgot what day of the week it falls on, but it'll be a week or more that I'll have a So during that time between Christmas New Years, I'm actually flying down to San Diego to visit John.

27:46 Oh good for you, I mean, and the weather is probably pretty nice over there. Sure. Yeah. So I'm flying down on the twenty six and which is a Friday, and I'm flying back on the twenty ninth, I think, which is a Monday. So you're booked. I mean, you're going to be gone for what you said. I go Monday and I fly back Monday. So it's eight well you know, seven eight days. Yeah, eight days and then back and then off again. Right, but I you know, I come back. I arrive here Monday, December eighth, in the afternoon. I have to obviously work the next day. But that Tuesday night, the night I've got a holiday party. Wednesday night, there's a holiday party here. Thursday night there's another party that I have to go to. H And they have relatives coming in from out of town just for that week, so I'll have to, you know, we have to have a family dinner with them. So it'll be a super busy week when I get back, and I'll still be on Germany time.

28:38 Color yourself popular. Well, you know, I do what I can with what I have left. But you're not you're what. You're not a bottom, You're a You're you're over the top. I didn't Sorry, Sorry, that's your family show. What was the saying again? Are you over the top or are you under the bottom? You're over the top and you're too much? I can be both and all at the same time. Akay, whatever? What? Yes? I was gonna say? Was there anything else that we I thought there was something else I wanted to mention, But maybe that's it unless you got something else. I think maybe we should just talk about the rest of the season. You have a couple more episodes in the can or in the Turkey Roaster for the Night, But so we do have a couple of ain't nobody got time for that segments coming up with Marty Bean and with Sue Acton, who are coming in. So they're all friends of the pod and I'm looking forward to that.

29:38 We're probably going to close out the season, so I guess we should decide whether we want to do well. We probably have time for a Christmas episode, don't. Yeah, because I'll be back, So yeah, we'll talk about doing a pumpery Christmas New year's mash up. Okay, because this is going to be episode sixteen for us, the two episod so this makes us seventeen and eighteen, so we need to do at least two to give us twenty oh my godness, pressure twenty episodes for season two. No. One ends on nineteen. I never, I'm not going to. I messed it up the other time. I'm I know you can no, but I am. I just have to say I'm most looking forward to our our reveal for season three. I've when working on and editing it, editing it tirelessly. It's going to be really good. I've been working on it, and I won't let you know yet. We'll give a little teaser maybe about it, with dropping some of the music that is related to later, but it's a little surprise.

30:36 I'll share it with you too. Well. I've said it before and i'll say it again that kudos to you for all the hard work and hours you put in for the editing and the videos and the some of stuff where you pull that up from. I have no idea. Hey listen, it keeps me off the street and off the pole. Well, but no, thank you for all all that you do. Because it's it's so much I could not do it without you, and I am I'm very thankful that we have been friends for three hundred and seventy seven years now and a half. But this has been fun. I truly enjoyed doing this in there. It's so much fun. It's a great way for us to keep in touch, of course, right, It's also what I'm really enjoying is integrating a lot of people that we know in our lives and keeping them in touch because I'm sure they enjoy it too, right, right? Right? Are they better because we pay them a lot of money to enjoy it? Well?

31:24 I think I mentioned that, you know, there's locally here in the Bear, there's a group of friends and we keep that I keep in touch with and so you saw them all in August when we had the big picnic. But one of them says, Gary, what's what's next on my schedule? Because I'm the organizer, right, So I tried to schedule and a circus delace coming into town. Nice, So I tried to organize that. But you know, it's it's hard with the holidays, people either traveling or have other commitments, so people get booked up. So right now. The only thing that's tentative on the calendar is a brunch on Sunday, January eleventh. I think it's the date, and then I'll reach out after the holidays. All right, who's available? Let's biggest spot you're gonna have at doing yourself for the hundred Park get together was huge, So I look forward to a spring awakening of some kind.

32:12 But you. Guys all went to Filoly, didn't you. Yeah, there was a group of us that went to Filoly, which is for those that don't know, it's a big estate that's here on the peninsula south of San Francisco.
