uh the thanksgiving holidays what's the holiday going to look like? Really? I don't know. I guess a lot of people are, I think there's going to be a lot of bad food served based on what is trending. Cause there's a lot of like half-assed last second, how to make Turkey, how to make apple pie.

Turkey, not thawing is the one thing people are searching a lot. What do you mean? Not thawing. Like, and also when did you take it out? Cause it thing people are searching a lot. What do you mean not thawing? And also, when did you take it out? Because it's going to take a minute. It takes a while, gang. And don't put a frozen ass turkey in a deep fryer because I'm sure, God, can you imagine the people this year?

Because it always happens. People putting frozen turkeys into a deep fryer and you get a fucking fireball that comes out and like explosion. It seems like there's a lot of first time uh chefs thanksgiving chefs i wonder if that's gonna affect the turkey fireball uh occurrence at all this year but just going off like a just down a street like a just all all over a neighborhood like a firework finale um yeah but i feel like this year especially because people probably were like well let's see how things are like up into the last minute now they're like oh we can't leave our house uh let's try and slap something together here it's i i went

to the supermarket last night and i was fully prepared for you, a children of men style scene, something of like the post of like the apocalypse. Um, and I was surprised there was no line to get in the store. It was a less full than normal. And I don't know if it was a thing where you're like, you're saying people, maybe today is when the fucking rubber hits the road because now they're like, fuck it. All right. We got to, I don't know, just go buy some stuff and in a turkey breast and we'll figure out how to microwave it so yeah i don't

know um good luck shout out to boston market um oh that's right you're going to boston market no we're gonna damn you really sold me that oh well that's why we're so it's between boston market or my aunt lives down the street and she is going to have us over in her backyard. They do a real like separated thing where we like sit at separate tables. She's like, I've been cooking for, I've been cooking for weeks. You can't, you can't not come now. Like weeks?

Is the food still good? Oh, damn it. I didn't think about that. Let me check really quick. All right. Can you get a turkey? And I didn't think mashed potatoes went bad, but they are stinking. She's a great cook, though.

Shout out to Aunt Carolyn, my godmother. Shout out, Carolyn. Yeah, yeah. And also, yeah, if you're able to do that shit outside, I was on the news this morning. It was like they were fielding questions about Thanksgiving directly to a doctor. And they're like, we're're doing a thing i know we're not supposed to combine houses households but we're keeping separate tables for different households and we're outside

with point like more than 10 feet between and they're like yeah i mean and like i think this people these people were saying like we have 20 feet between like our communal tables between the different households and the doctor was like that's probably the only way you could do something right now without what you know is to be that far apart and masked he's like the only issue is what does it mean like when you're done eating like you still scream from across the yard can you keep that distance how long yeah we did uh my 40th birthday over there and uh it was, you know, they're real. They do everything. They believe in science.

Apparently they are rare for their generation because they believe in science. Well, let's talk about what's on everybody's mind. What else? Heading into this holiday, Clifford, the big red dog.

They, they released a teaser for this live action Clifford, the big red dog they they released a teaser for this live action clifford the big red dog and when i tell you that this just looks like a golden retriever who's drenched in blood uh it and not even that big not even not even not even blood i don't even know what the i feel like this is the one thing right it's a kid's book but this was a kid's book that you both you that we're we're still in that generation where we know clifford the big red dog like i learned how to read books with clifford the big red dog

and to see this monstrosity put before me uh for this live action film tis no clifford the big red dog this is some kind of imposter and i feel like it's like gonna do it almost it all depends on also if your monitor is calibrated in a different like color spectrum you might think this shit could look brown to you i don't know but i feel like if you're gonna do this go fully in this shit should be fire red it It should be stop sign red. Not something that you think is naturally occurring. Already, we're dealing with something that doesn't occur in nature, which is the fact that it's Clifford the Big Red Dog. It's supposed to be the size of a house.

It's not supposed to be a dog that could conceivably have existed. It's big. It's about as big sitting down as a human is standing up. That's not big enough. Clifford needs to be able to peer into my second story window and I only see one of his eyes.

Yeah, like some fucked up Jurassic Park. Yeah. Except friendly. I'm trying to think, when was the last book out? Because, okay. I mean, we still, like, I don't know if these are new. I think, but you're looking at OG books, right? You gotta be looking at OG material.

Like, the books themselves, I mean, that started, what? Back in, I don't even know. Oh, they've been around for a while haven't they yeah i mean uh 1963 was the first one by norman ridwell like that too yeah they're pretty dumb i'm not gonna lie like go reading back over them like they are among like dr seuss still slaps like that dude was at least he had bars talented yeah he had bars clifford the big red dog is a dumb book objectively like there are you can do far better than clifford the big red dog well the whole rub of it was that it was a big red dog and it didn't nothing else mattered aside from being like i don't know i'm just gonna draw this dog way bigger than the other stuff and

that's a kid's some children some children ride the bus to the aquarium, and some children ride Clifford. That's like one of the pages of one of the books. Like that's... You know, again, I don't mean to keep coming back to this, but this is trash. This is nonsense. You know, the shame on the people, the development people at Paramount, because I know what you're doing. I don't think I don't know what you're doing i don't think i don't know what you're doing you're doing this as a play to millennial gen x or parents who will be like oh fuck it i know this ip actually that's interesting and now i have children maybe it's a win-win situation but you

have already lost a customer paramount pictures uh because this is not clifford and it just so is i don't know is there any way this is on purpose like the way that the sonic thing because they made the exact same mistake as sonic sonic they tried to make him like they were holding themselves to some weird concept of reality like what a sonic the hedgehog's eyes would look like right and then people had to be like no he needs the big cartoon eyes that are connected in the middle. Dumb, dumb.

And this also feels like they just took... I mean, that's what they did. They took an actual dog and just used computers to make it look big. Yeah. And kind of red. Like rust. Yeah.

It's rust. It's not fire. You think it's that you get you get the outrage machine going to get more buzz and maybe then you swap it out i mean or if they if they're following it they're teasing the version that isn't going to be in the film to get that response and be like all right we heard you here's the actual movie it's already ready don't worry about it okay we kind of was sonic also paramount oh i don't know yeah i think it was sonic the hedgehog premiered at the paramount picture studio lot on january 25th 2020 they are uh they are fucking up or they they have a very uh obvious

playbook that they get people interested by getting a very dumb version i think we're getting sonic if they're trying to sonic me bro i'm done with paramount i'm done yeah don't fuck with me right now this is the year is already tense enough and you want to fuck around with depictions of one of my gods clifford the big red dog you know dog backwards is god so yeah don't play around paramount don't play around yeah yeah big red is an anagram for uh something raj raj uh anyways maradona is trending uh uh maradona is trending because uh the goat was he is he the goat like GOAT? He's one of the best. Yeah.

I mean, that's a contentious thing. At the beautiful game. Is it Pele? Because he's the first dude to dominate. But he was playing in a different era with a different skill set. Maradona's the same way. Completely different skill. He was playing with a modern skill set in the 70s and 80s.

I don't know. It all depends. I i mean i definitely consider him one of the greatest you know footballers ever if you just check the receipts check the highlight tapes he's making people he looked like he was coming from another dimension back then um right he was just ahead of his time uh so yeah i i don't think there's everyone you know it's too relative it's like don't i don't want to get into that too. Because, you know, who knows where people's allegiances lie. But I do 100% respect to El Diaz, the Big Ten. Because, yeah, he's, I mean, there's not a single modern footballer

who is not going to list Maradona as like one of their top people. Why is he called El Diaz? Because he's number 10. And they're just like giving a reference to like he is the 10 and ordeal. Sometimes they just call him God because he is a God. He has. I mean, especially in South America, man, like he is revered all over and he has a very much like a populist appeal to because he's very, very was very open to left wing politics throughout his lifetime. Yeah. Like it was, you know, he a fidel castro tattoo on his like leg and he like when you know the pope was like

talking about how he was afraid of you know people being underfed he was like maradona literally told the pope he's like well your ceilings are covered in gold why don't you sell that and then you help the kids out so you know like he's you know he grew up very very rough too like with nothing you know like very like literally fucking nothing so that i think instilled in him like a feeling of like you know wanting to pull up for the people look he also has some controversial shit too you know nobody's perfect so he's he's just a character, you know, he loved drugs. He loved, he loved it all. Uh, it, it would all happen. Cause he had like a subdermal hematoma, I believe was the thing.

Subdural, not subdermal, subdural hematoma and needed are subdermal. Yes. Uh, yes. Uh, below your skin. Um, yes. Otherwise it's just called bleeding but uh yeah he so he had to go in for that and they said this this the surgery was successful um and then a week later they said he died of a heart attack so yeah it's it's it's yeah a big deal i mean i can only

imagine for you know the i know i'm looking at people who are like big fans of like argentina and like or their families are from argentina they're from argentina themselves i mean this is this is kobe dying for them plus more like plus times 10 because he's you know he he's got he got them their world cup and the english will never forget that the hand of god as it was yeah so that's that's like the one moment that I know about from his career, other than just knowing he's a bad motherfucker was like that. He used, did like a,

a handball, like kind of. Yeah, exactly. Just a little bit, look like a header, but I'm gonna just punch it in as the keeper. That was in the 86 world cup.

Yeah. And that it's, you know, I think he coined it too like nah that was the hand of god so he's cheeky man yeah yeah that's dope speaking of cheeky i think damn rather is drunk as we're recording this uh because this man is trending for just like coming out with all sorts of strange not not really strange just like he just is on one. And I don't really associate Dan Rather

with being on one. Let me figure out what he's... These tweets are definitely like old man, like somebody, it's like somebody grabbed Dan Rather real quick and see what's up with him. Because it's not like problematic, but it's a weird energy

that I can't imagine Dan rather being drunk. I am thankful for you, all of you. Happy Thanksgiving. Okay. All right, Dan. I know there are a lot of favorite seasonal pies this time of year, but my favorite, hands down, is cherry. I'm prepared to agree to disagree with many of you.

Okay. Okay. Okay. What about the other one? He's like, for some reason, I find myself humming the lyrics. Well, I guess if you say so, I'll have to pack my things and go, what's the name of that song again? And then like laughing emoji. Oh, Dan.

Yo, go live real quick. Go on live, Dan. Let us see you. What's going on? Are you smoking? Did you have an edible? What is happening? Right, right, right.

I mean, he's definitely vibing. Yeah, yeah. He's definitely vibing for sure. Yeah. And people are feeling him. He's just a good, I mean, was was that were you doing more broca than rather as i think i probably was what is because rather he's so just he's just kind of broca is more fun yeah broca

you don't know i mean dan rather is fucking lit check out his twitter right now it's a fucking mess yeah yeah all right bro um shout out who was that broke ass fuck him for falling for a cia op where that ended his career because the bush family everything good that ever happened to the bush family cia conspiracy oh you know that was another thing monodona did when bush when he was in bush two was in power and came to argentina he he was out there protesting it with a shirt that says stop bush and the s's were swastikas yo and he was also like i hate everything from america he's like it's imperialism and i'm like damn oh all right keep that low though most people over here don't get what that is yet so he was on some shit man i mean he could that could also have been like mid you know coke bender

too so he was a he was a coke boy he definitely abused some drugs he had yeah he was definitely uh messing around with some drugs he had he had some issues with that that he was struggling with but yeah just kind of you you know, 60 years old. That's not a very long life. I mean, given, but like, yeah. But yeah, shame. And then Nick Saban is trending because he has tested positive for COVID again.

The most famous college football coach and my favorite actor based on his Affleck performance. Uh, what he's, have you seen that commercial? Oh man. He's,

it's just one of those things where like a sports, you just see the struggle of the director of that commercial, just trying to coax a coax, a performance out of this guy. Um, right. Whose main mode of travel of talking is yelling at like young, young men. that commercial just trying to coax a coax a performance out of this guy um right whose main mode of travel of talking is yelling at like young young men yeah could be more aggressive yeah my sense is that they had to give him a hit of like laughing gas because he's got like kind of a goofy vibe about him um when he in the commercial uh but yeah, one of our great actors and a very successful football coach.

Right. College football is just like, yeah, fuck it. Well, that whole attitude wasn't Saban the one being like, well, most of the boys had it already over the summer. Yeah.

So we're going to just keep going for it. And it's like, yeah, and now it's part two, the remix to Ignition, and now you have symptoms. What are you doing, sir? But the show must go on. Yeah, it's almost as if the people who have been pushing young men to damage their brains for the past 20 years are not the best people to listen to during this national global pandemic. Yeah, someone whose whole ethos is fight through it or fuck that.

Yeah, suck it up. Get up, pussy. Like, you ain't gonna be very, you're not gonna listen to a doctor when they're like, what do you mean, an invisible men? No. Sack it up, Fauci.
