Unpaid And Underrated - 081 : The Fabric Of Society

Starting point is 00:00:00 Don't say anything that'll get you in trouble. Um, what's in the show is in the show. We already. Throw. Rip it. Welcome back to episode gobble gobble of the unpaid and underrated podcast. I am your host, Big Nate. You know what that means.

Starting point is 00:00:31 Keith and Joey were just not tough enough to come on this episode and record it. So they had to bring me in to do all of the heavy lifting and all of the hard work. And so I, with the help of my trusty sidekick, Big Jen, assembled a gaggy, a gaggle of silly turkeys or geese, whichever you prefer for tonight's festivities. We have a great show planned for you. I wanna introduce some of the folks that we have here tonight. Big Jen, say hello to the folks at home.

Starting point is 00:01:09 Hattie Hattie. We're also joined by Big Skansen and I believe Bernie as well. Bernie's up there, yeah. Yep. We got Kevin in here too. Oh gosh, there's a whole skeleton. That's going to be Skansen. Never mind. Kevin in here too. Oh gosh, there's a whole skeleton. That's gonna be Skansen.

Starting point is 00:01:25 Nevermind. The chance of being eyeballed by a skeleton in my household is never zero. You just keep... How many skeletons do you have laying around your house? There's two of them within five feet of me. Those are just his master's training partners. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:01:39 That's it. They couldn't keep up. Big Andrew as well. Hi there. We have returning... Oh no, we had a... I was going to say this is three episodes in a row, but you had a skipped one

Starting point is 00:01:54 in between there, but we got big... Miss Big Jess. What is up, boys and girls? You all just cannot get rid of me. She keeps coming back. Pretty soon Scott Dodds will jump in here out of the boot. Yep. Just randomly.

Starting point is 00:02:09 And then we have none other than, as noted in his Zoom profile, big Thanksgiving, Jeff. Aw, Thanksgiving, bulking season's back, everybody. Yeah. Yeah. It is indeed. We can't forget, I guess, one of them snuck through. We do have none other than the big orange glaze here with us tonight.

Starting point is 00:02:30 So Keith, I guess you can say hi if you'd like. Hi if I like. He's got jokes, ladies and gents. All right. Well, it wouldn't be an episode of Unpaid and Underrated if we didn't talk about what we were drinking tonight. So let's go around the horn. Big Keith, kick it off for us.

Starting point is 00:02:50 What are you drinking tonight? We've got a Waterloo Cherry Limeade. Pretty good. Cherry Limeade's top tier. Top tier. Maybe that will make it on the list. Who knows? Big Jen, what are you drinking? I'm just drinking plain old H2O water.

Starting point is 00:03:10 Iced. Good choice. Oh, iced. On the rocks, as they say. On the rocks. On the rocks. Big scants. What do we got? What do we got cooking? I'm ripping some quince, boys. It's friggin' me. Come on. Yeah, let's go. Quince little LeFroy may or later on. The only guy in retirement gets to have a beer. I'm actually working full time for a month, so. I'm drinking. That's like fake work. Now there's real stuff going on this.

Starting point is 00:03:39 We're going to teach and stuff like that. Oh, teaching. Yeah. Whoa. Impart my wisdom. Oh, teaching. Yeah. Whoa. Impart my wisdom. And after tonight, we will gain much, much wisdom. Big Jeff, what are you drinking? I have the Thanksgiving drink of choice. Shipyard pumpkin head, you know, the OG pumpkin ale for Thanksgiving.

Starting point is 00:04:02 That's good. A classic, a classic. Big Jess, what do we got? I've got a dry cider from Aldi. It's their knockoff of Angry Orchard called Wiccan Grove. It's a Paraseco, so it's kind of like a pear flavored cider. So me and Skent are letting her rip today. That's it.

Starting point is 00:04:25 I love it. Go to guns. The Aldi off-brand stuff is top tier. Oh, top tier. Top tier. I mean, sometimes the names are so amazing. Oh yeah. Burger partner and things like that.

Starting point is 00:04:39 I love off-brand names like Hillbilly Holler. Yeah, and you guys are talking about Aldi I was just like when they dropped they you know They've been dropping all their merch lately their shoes their hats their hoodies. I Just I want to buy it all want to buy it all But they're not barefoot shoes, so I can't wear them Foot coffins they're putting out they need to get on the train Big Andrew, what do we got today? I got a variety of sparkling waters,

Starting point is 00:05:10 but starting off with Broken Skull IPA. Variety, he's running the variety pack tonight in case things get crazy. I'm thinking a grapefruit fart, as someone might say. A grapefruit. All right, and I guess we have to do the second thing or else it's not a real episode. Also, what are we wearing? Is everyone wearing clothes? Oh, I didn't say what I was drinking.

Starting point is 00:05:36 I'm really good at this. I don't know why they... Joey and Keith make me produce this podcast. All I ever do is edit and then they disappear for a week and then are just like yeah You definitely have the skills to host a podcast since you just listened to us talk for 80 weeks You have to carry your own weight to buddy. Yeah Keith just I'm drinking water water out of the Ouala. I got stickers on it any ice in it like gin

Starting point is 00:06:07 Yeah, there's ice. Nice. Nice ice. It's nice ice. What are you wearing, Nate? What are you wearing, buddy? I right now a little birthday gift from my wife. I got a the strength co squat tea going on right now. Nice big boxy fit. American made apparel. Shout out to new dad, new new dad fellow unprofessional grant.

Starting point is 00:06:30 Did you remind her to use code unpaid to save 10%? No it came in and I opened it and I was like, ah did you use code unpaid? No, what's that do? And I was like, nevermind. Grants back. Grant needs that money anyways And I was like, never mind. George back. Grant needs that money anyways. He's got to feed kids. I put a kid through college here.

Starting point is 00:06:49 Yeah. Yeah. Well, we'll let it slide this time around. And the order of people on my screen keep changing. So beyond your toes. Big Andrew, what are you wearing? Yeah, I'm wearing strong and silly. It's got the goose on it in honor of birds we like to eat. Is it a goose? Do I know that?

Starting point is 00:07:10 I always thought it was like a hawk or something. What, Keith? Oh, thank you. The logo. You mean the Canadian Goose? David Honeycutt. That's funny. Why? I some of the shirts, I just kind of glaze over and like, I'll never wear that. And then I guess it is a goose.

Starting point is 00:07:25 You're kidding. This is a this is a bit right. So you glaze everything. Yeah. What do you have against this shirt? It's a great shirt. The fact I just thought it was like a fucking like a hawk's wings or something. Fucking no. Like every other every other lifting shirt is like a hawk or a scholar, an eagle or some. But what would be silly about a hawk?

Starting point is 00:07:46 I don't know. I don't like silly shit. I guess. You don't? What do you? No, I don't know. That's good. I legitimately didn't know that. I learned something new today. Oh my gosh. Oof. That's it. We're done. Was that a red-tailed hawk?

Starting point is 00:08:02 Yeah. The strong and... Oh my gosh. Was that a red-tailed hawk? The strong and oh my gosh I'm already upset and I'm not even in this. All right Big Jen what are you wearing? I'm wearing the lift the OG lift sweatshirt on a horrible blank. I can remember when it first came out sending it to Tanner and I have a five inch wingspan taller than I am right and I sent it to my hands when you've been like sticking out what is going on with this blank but I love it I'm wearing it whatever it's a

Starting point is 00:08:35 classic it's a classic can't get those anymore you got to keep it around big scants Christmas getting on a Christmas time there gang it's see the Christmas lift shirt. You and Keith getting in your Christmas decorations. Yeah, this is a it's a hawk or a morning dog. I can't wait to hear about the proteins that Keith eats on Thanksgiving. Keith, what are you wearing? The Strong and Silly t-shirt. No, I have a Rockin' Out Barbell Rescue shirt.

Starting point is 00:09:08 We got all those shipped out today, I think, or Carp's about to get them shipped out. So, a little homage to last week's episode. I'm pretty sure Carp's in here somewhere. We could probably find him and ask him. I bet he is. He never leaves. He never leaves.

Starting point is 00:09:22 He's behind me the whole time. No, those are just my druthers back there. Big Jess, what are you wearing? I've got the Power Hungry shirt, which is so deep of a cut. I'm not sure when it came out or what color it was even supposed to be originally. This is a shirt that I inherited from Big Nathan Thomas, a build fast formula. So it has it's been worn. It's been well loved over the years.

Starting point is 00:09:49 Well, that's OG. That's like that's three years old. Yeah, I have no idea. It was a long time ago. That feels like. See, I have no frame of reference for time. Everything just feels like it's always one year ago. So I was like, yeah, they dropped that like three months ago.

Starting point is 00:10:07 Was it three years ago that that came out? That's terrible. OK, well, guess we're just dying. Master's life. Is this what it's like to get old? This is 100% what it's like. Good. Because there's like same thing.

Starting point is 00:10:22 It's like there was a couple of months ago we did this thing. It was like that was 14 years ago. I'm like, oh, OK. I've been doing that since I was 14. She. All right. Big Jeff, I think you're the last one. I don't know. This this order of people just keeps moving around. So this is this is an impossible task to keep up with everyone. Well, I'm wearing the natural life shirt, great blank, great color.

Starting point is 00:10:48 You look great in it even after an anabolic Thanksgiving dinner. So this is what I'm going with. Perfect. Perfect. And speaking of natural. I just added a wild card to our. Our rankings might even add some hawk meat later. Would delicious for those that can't distinguish their birds. There's the fucking birds.

Starting point is 00:11:15 Yeah. Hawk meat title. All right, guys, guys and gals, we don't have an episode to rate because it's Thanksgiving. We don't do that around Thanksgiving. But what we do have is a very special segment on the Unpaid and Underrated podcast. Many of you might know that I was one of the founders, one of the... I don't...

Starting point is 00:11:42 I'm at a loss for words, but I had to do a lot of work to get us to where we are today, which is having a food and drink channel on the Masanomics Discord. It first started as a thread. It moved to simply a channel on the Unpaid and Underrated Discord, which is a private Discord. If you pay $700 a month, you can be on there and chat with us. But it started there. Tanner and Tommy, finally, after memeing them to death, finally created one in the Masanomics Discord. And from that came many great civilized, happy, happy, well compromised conversations about food and things that people enjoy about food. So what better way to bring in the holidays but discuss what is the best Thanksgiving dinner?

Starting point is 00:12:41 How would we tier the foods of Thanksgiving? So we have about, I don't even know, I can't count. I'm not Big Math. We've got like 36 foods here. All of your staple foods groups, food groups as put together by the... 30% Huh? Thank you, Big Math. We've got a lot of them, okay? And we're gonna tier all of them. We might even release a video where you can watch me with my mouse drag stuff onto the screen, which will be thrilling for all of you.

Starting point is 00:13:14 You can watch it, you can show it to your kids. Is this kid friendly? Don't watch this if you're a baby, but if you are watching it, you're pretty cool. So let's dive in. We've got 30, 34 of these foods. We got a tier. So whoever is the most passionate, this is easy.

Starting point is 00:13:39 We've got a list of them. If someone wants to just say, hey, boom, we can start off, we can go alphabetical, whatever, you know, it's it's a druthers heavy episode. So go ahead. You know what? I think there's only one person that could really start that off this off. Big Jen, would you mind picking our first food to discuss tonight? All right. I'm going to pick Jell-O mold. What a one to start with. So I grew up as a little backstory on Big Nate here. I grew up as the most picky eater in the world.

Starting point is 00:14:16 I would only eat pepperoni and peanut butter. Together? Well, I don't know. But I just never ate food as a kid and only until I met my now wife that I want to impress women and I started eating food that normal people eat. So I have no clue what a jello mold is. I've never interacted with this. Can someone explain to me what a jello mold is? Because I was looking up, because I've sourced all the images for this and I was like, I don't even know what I'm supposed to find.

Starting point is 00:14:49 I guess what I have is a Jell-O mold. So Jen, if you can explain what this is, that'd be great. I'm going to start by saying trash. I believe it's trash. Right? Yes. I don't think I'd go that far. right it it it's it's wiggly

Starting point is 00:15:10 gross butt cake jello it's not the one that has like cramp like minced up cranberries though is it cause i don't think i've had the jello i have no idea you can have any type of fruit in there yeah sometimes there's different fruits in there, and there'd be like little cherries and stuff.

Starting point is 00:15:28 Yeah. Sorry, go ahead. But it's too open to interpretation, like we're saying. Jello is fine. When you start trying to get fancy with the jello, like that picture you chose, Nate, is emblematic of everything that's wrong with the jello like that picture you chose nate is emblematic of everything that's wrong with the jello mold i would i would i'm actually going to propose our first new tier and i'm going to say some more in between it's okay and i'll pass we have a how could you screw up jello tier okay i have a quick story so uh my aunt the story has been passed down to me, and my aunt wanted to be very special

Starting point is 00:16:06 and bring a jello mold apparently to Thanksgiving. And she thought, well, what better way to spice up a jello mold than add peanut clusters because people love jello and they love peanut clusters. So how could they not go together? And holy shit, I'm out. That's straight to jail. You know, you know, I love with my like mildly like smooth and chewy dessert, just a big old crunch in the middle of it. It's like a big old chocolate.

Starting point is 00:16:37 What terrible mouth feel that bad mouth feel bad bad. So these things are very 60s and 70s. I grew up as. Oh, yeah mouth feel. Bad, bad. So these things are very 60s and 70s. I grew up with these. Oh, yeah, totally. We need a master's take on the Jell-O mold. And I would not eat this if it was the last thing going. But it's become the common joke. If I go back to mom's house for, you know, the holiday or something like that,

Starting point is 00:17:00 first thing in the door, I'm like, we got we call it the jelly salad. And it's like, do any jelly salad? She's like, no, and I'm like, fuck, I'm leaving. This is bullshit. Said it's not a holiday. Every holiday, mom would make a jellied salad, or jello mold, whatever you call it, and nobody would eat it except for her. But she's like, I'm not gonna make it.

Starting point is 00:17:20 I'm like, I'm not coming then. There's no jellied salad. It has to be there. Will I touch it? No. No, absolutely not. No. But I wanna-'s no telling so it has to be there. Will I touch it? No, no, absolutely not No, but I want to always have it. I liked it I

Starting point is 00:17:30 But I liked anything that was sweet, but I do I do like the tear of how could you screw up Jello? I think it could be on the tear of I Know that I I'm gonna sit here and judge you for bringing back here. I know that I'm going to sit here and judge you for bringing back here. Like, no, I see when I so our tears for the listeners, I guess, I guess we should say these. We started off with I'm leaving if it's not there. I love it. It's okay.

Starting point is 00:17:58 I'll pass. It's okay. Tier is sponsored by the OK podcast or cousin podcast. If anyone was wondering, I could pass and won't even look at it here and see. I feel like the Jellomold is probably I don't think I'm allowed to say anything in this. I'm supposed to just moderate, but I have to get this thought in here. The Jellomold is like right above.

Starting point is 00:18:21 I won't even look at it because it's kind of like a car crash where you want to look at it because it's big. It's jiggly. You know, there's a game is trying to figure out what is that. What is that? Yeah, like, so I don't think it could exist in the won't even look at it. I mean, I think. OK. But I mean, but for real, I mean, to Jeff's point,

Starting point is 00:18:40 how could you screw up Jello? It's pretty simple. So where does it land crew? Do we do we add the new tier? Do we. Do we try to put up? We leave up for nostalgia right there. Smack dab in the middle. Yeah. I'll leave it for Scans mom.

Starting point is 00:18:56 Yeah. If it's not on the list, it won't come to the tier list. That's a good episode title. You can't, you can't totally shut it down. I mean, somebody likes it. Can't yuck. Somebody's young, but I'm not looking at title. You can't you can't totally shut it down. I mean, somebody likes it. Can't yuck somebody's yum. But I'm not looking at it.

Starting point is 00:19:07 Just don't you don't have to be so creative with it. Yeah, it's fine out of the box. But if you invite me over for supper, you better go to them. I have one. Like we say in the business, stop being cute. Stop trying to be cute. Um, all right, Jeff, since you made that decision,

Starting point is 00:19:27 pick a pick another food off our list. All right, this is something I'm anxious to talk about. It's almost too early to bring it up, but I'm going to bring it up now. I'm putting stuffing in the I'm leaving if it's not there. 100% agree. And I'm I'm not talking about dressing. I'm talking about stuffing. And there's I 100% agree. And I'm not talking about dressing. I'm talking about stuffing. And there's a very important distinction I want to see if everybody.

Starting point is 00:19:51 So now for the listeners at home, I was just given a lot of stuff and I just went out and found pictures. Google images was my friend. Are these licensed? I don't know. Government don't come for me. But I have three categories. I have corn my friend. Are these licensed? I don't know. Government don't come for me. But I have three categories. I have cornbread stuffing, cornbread stuffing in bird,

Starting point is 00:20:09 which is a very graphic photo that's just small enough to not discuss to you. And dressing. So are we talking cornbread stuffing or cornbread stuffing in bird? I think they're the same. Stuffing is in the bird. I don't care what it's made out of. Bread stuffing. Well, it's stuffing.

Starting point is 00:20:28 Stuffing is in dressing. I mean, I've seen. Oh, OK, I see. I understand the distinction now. OK, just you see when the bread likes the bird. Yeah, it makes baby baby bread bird. It's called stuffing because you stuff it. Got it. Yep.

Starting point is 00:20:47 So you think that you will not. Hands down. Agreed. If you put the two side by side and you put a blindfold on and said, which one would you rather eat a bowl of? You know, only a psychopath would pick the dressing option versus the stuffing. Dude, it's crunchy. You got those little you got those crunchy bits, man.

Starting point is 00:21:08 It's not waterlogged and soggy and nasty. Yeah. I do agree. I'm going to try some of the stuffing. You have to know how to cook a dressing to where it's not dried out bullshit. Note feel. Yeah, but you get all the turkey drippings in there,

Starting point is 00:21:22 the turkey juices in there, it's in there it's moist. It's delicious Sausage I love a good sausage. Yeah, yeah, why can't you put that in there that that's that's okay That's independent of this guy doesn't matter Jeff cuz I'm I'm leaving if any sort form of dressing or stuffing is not there In fact, they told my dad. I'm not coming if you don't think you're stopping So it's so so I mean, we don't have to fight. We can put dressing and cornbread stuffing both. I think they both should be up there. Wait, I haven't heard Jess. What does Jess think? I cannot. I'm okay with the stuffing. I'm okay with the stuffing in the bird,

Starting point is 00:22:05 I cannot get down with cornbread. You lost me at cornbread. Well, but you like dressing if it was just bread, right? Right, and I would like stuffing if it was just bread. I think maybe you should do like, I feel like there's maybe like sourdough, we do sourdough at home. A sourdough dressing.

Starting point is 00:22:22 That's some fancy stuff right there, I feel like. He's bougie. Is that homemade sourdoughed. That's some fancy stuff right there, I feel like. He's bougie. Is that homemade sourdoughed or are we talking like I need 60 days to get the starter going so we can make our dressing for Thanksgiving? My sister makes it from scratch at home. Yeah, that sounds big time. Dang it. This was a little bit early because I probably would have put stuffing and dressing on that litty-titty skill. The what?

Starting point is 00:22:47 The what? Harkin Pacto to taste you and yo. A litty-titty skill. Oh, I do. Yeah, I remember that. You kids and your terminology. Jen understands it. Jen has a translator. She went to her son and was like, can you explain what was just said on this episode? She had no clue. Don't take credit for that.

Starting point is 00:23:09 You ran that through youth GPT. All right. I'm content with cornbread stuffing and dressing in there. Do we? All right. So here's the important question. Cornbread stuffing as an alternative to the two dressing and stuffing in bird, do we take it? Do we leave it? Do we completely ignore it? Let me just delete it.

Starting point is 00:23:33 I don't think it. This is dressing. Yeah, there's too many variables that just say, make it not. Someone say in the 10,000 ways that we used to get what we wanted on this list, there were 10,000 variations and that one made it. So I'm just trying to be a man of the people. If you guys want to make it easy, that's fine.

Starting point is 00:23:53 Big Jess, take a take a poll on this list. Where are we going? I think we should go right to Turkey. Where are we going? Hmm. I think we should go right to Turkey. I mean, this is the big most popular entree. Where do we? Is anyone leaving? I think we're all leaving if there's no Turkey. Is anyone so staunchly anti-Turkey?

Starting point is 00:24:27 Anyone? I don't think I get a say. Turkey sucks. Yeah, I'm with Keith. I think Turkey is not a good name. Like, I'll never leave any place for any reason because I'm a very amicable guy, right? But like my wife and I every year trying to figure out how to get just no turkey

Starting point is 00:24:50 in our house whatsoever for Thanksgiving. But if I'll eat it, but. I think it could be broken down by white meat and dark meat, but, yeah, I won't touch dark meat and white meat is just OK. Like, I don't know. Oh my fucking God. Fucking Jen is fired up. Are you going to take that? I've said it a million times. I don't like gamey meat. If you, if you know me,

Starting point is 00:25:16 I mean if I dark Turkey is gamey meat in a hundred percent, it's the definition in my books. I won't go home. Dry ass white Turkey. No, but it's something called me in high school. So if I lather it up with gravy and stuff and it's the only protein option at the table, then cool. I get a little bit of protein, but it's begrudgingly in a perfect world. I don't have to eat turkey on Thanksgiving. There's other protein options.

Starting point is 00:25:44 Listen, for the Masonomic Supper Club, you can bring any protein you want. This is the Thanksgiving episode. If you're going to invite me to your house and call it Thanksgiving, it better be a damn turkey on the table. Yeah, I agree. 100 percent. I'm not saying it's delicious, but right. This is the whole do you need to have one or like like it? Yes. Versus no no versus like will I just not eat it or begrudgingly

Starting point is 00:26:12 eat it? It is what it is. I'll go with the group, but because no one's going to I'm not going to convince people that it's OK. So sure. How are you cooking it? How are we cooking it? That's a name. My dad, you guys will like this. My dad used to cook it in a trash can. Deep fry? No. No, we will trash. We just cared for six weeks. We we he would like set up a hit a like a wooden post and we'd put the turkey on top of the post. I think it was like glorified smoking spit.

Starting point is 00:26:50 Yep. Yeah. And then we'd put the trash can on top of it. I think we'd wrap it in tin foil. I don't remember. It's been a while since we've done it. Um, and, uh, we'd like put, you know, coals all over it and more or less smoke it inside the trash can.

Starting point is 00:27:07 But it was just fun to say that we, you know, cooked a turkey in a trash can. So that's got the nostalgia for me. Could that be why you don't like it? I mean, just like a question. Have you ever been on trash can turkey? No, trash can turkey is great. I honestly think it's one of the best, which I think is just smoking it and all. Like I don't think it's fantastic.

Starting point is 00:27:29 Yeah. Like it didn't have we weren't putting any like wood chips in it. So it didn't have like the wood chippy smoke, but just, you know, whatever. I don't know. I'm not a I'm not a professional turkey cooker, but no, I don't think that's why I don't like Turkey. And I think I don't like turkey. I, turkey is okay. Uh, I think I never had one where I was just like, man, this is the best thing I've ever had, but like pork for sure. Beef, like any kind

Starting point is 00:27:56 of beef for sure. Turkey, it's just like, if it's there, I'll eat it. Like Keith said, it's a lean protein source. Fine. But like. I'll stick around if it's not there for sure. I think it might just go into like, it's OK. Honestly, the to me. I mean, let's think about this, honestly, like you're leaving if it's not there for nostalgia, not because it's a good food. In all reality, I think we're all agreeing that Turkey is just okay. I don't think that's true at all.

Starting point is 00:28:29 I don't think we're agreeing on that. I think we are. I think I could get there though, Jess. Because there is better meat options. But like in the middle of the line, I love it. I think the compromise is just to go with I love it. But think about like in the middle of the line, I love it. I think the compromise is just go with I love it. But think about like in the middle of May, in the middle of May, are you are you going out like, man, you know what I could use right now?

Starting point is 00:28:52 A turkey, if someone could cook me up a turkey. Like, I mean, if you go to a really good barbecue joint, they have good turkey sometimes. So that might be my meat, my second choice of meat. You guys come up here next Thanksgiving. Next Thanksgiving Thanksgiving Thanksgiving, we'll do it in person. I'm on my way. I'll smoke is a badass turkey.

Starting point is 00:29:14 We'll do it live. Is that Canadian Thanksgiving or? Oh, right. OK. I celebrate both. This is a menu that's steeped in tradition. I think you're ripping apart the fabric of society. If you're not going to have a turkey at Thanksgiving. And where are you going to put the stuffing? Oh, that's a valid point.

Starting point is 00:29:34 That's a prime right. I'll stick this. I'll tell you where I'll stick the stuffing. Jeff, I'll tell you where I'll stick it. I think I love it. We might be lying to ourselves because not everybody loves it, but I do think I'm leaving if it's not. I'm with you, but I understand the bastardization of the categories. Oh, yeah. I like your logic, though, because it's not there.

Starting point is 00:29:54 But I don't really love it. But it's for the for the historical value of it. Yeah, I could see that. Yeah, I guess start at the top then just for tradition, for tradition. We'll do it for America. But I will. I don't know if anyone else agrees. Turkey lunch meat is extremely better than Turkey. Turkey. Is there a name?

Starting point is 00:30:13 Yeah, wrong again. That's called Blur. That's called Blurky. That's fake. Bologna turkey. Whatever nitrates over here. It's less offensive to my taste buds. Wrong again, Keith. Great. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, fine, we'll put it. We'll put Turkey Goes in the I'm not leaving or I'm leaving if it's not there. Golly, who wrote these tears? Not me.

Starting point is 00:30:50 Some other random person on the Internet. All right. Make sure we can't have we can have like 10 things in that tier, though. Well, that's the thing. Oh, we won't. I'm looking at this list right now. I got four. Can you take a pic? I want to hear a hot take on Keith's side.

Starting point is 00:31:07 A negative one. Anyhow, I'm down for anything, Keith. Devil eggs, I love them. I love the eggs. Devil days are good. They got to be called like like devil eggs that have been out for four hours. Maybe not devil eggs in the first two hours as an appetizer, for sure. Even with the dinner, for sure, still.

Starting point is 00:31:26 But like at some point you start to question how long that fucking eggs been sitting there. But deviled eggs are great. And that's why that always reaches my aisle pass. I mean, do we take into consideration like the post fart capacity of a dish? One you'd be proud of. Like, this is a very dangerous food. Will we leave if it's there?

Starting point is 00:32:00 Will we not? I'm not a big deviled egg guy. I'm not a big food guy, I guess. I'd go with an I love it, too. I love it. Yeah, I put it on. I love it. Yeah, I totally fuck up some devil legs all day long. Oh, yeah.

Starting point is 00:32:13 Sounds like we had at least a three quarter consensus. Yeah, buddy. We love it. I guess we love it here today. I mean, Jeff and scans like how many deviled eggs would you say you would eat at once if you had no consequences and no one was watching you? Like how many would you eat? Oh, you could fucking put an audience in front of me. I'm just gonna keep eating Yeah, how many else starts on the tray I just see till they're done Skeet can make shitty deviled eggs though. So well, I mean

Starting point is 00:32:46 It's the same as anything else. It's same as the the turkey, and you can make a shitty turkey, or you can make an awesome turkey. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You can do that with anything. I guess in my mind on the list, like whatever we're talking about, it's like the best version of it to you. Yeah. So I keep that in mind. Yeah. I keep that in mind and you get the most, the truest answers probably. Well, deviled eggs are hard to screw up. My 12-year-old makes double-decks.

Starting point is 00:33:08 Don't get what I can screw up. People can screw up a lot of things. Yeah. It's not like we have a podcast host on here who's got to select the right mic for 40 episodes. I'm just playing out of my technical advisor. I'm just playing on my technical advisor. I put that in, I love it. I love it. We love deviled eggs here.

Starting point is 00:33:31 We love it. Future sponsor. But going with what Big Andrew was saying, if it's left out for hours, but that's, we could say that for anything. Ooh, would you like a nice cold pile of mashed potatoes and clumpy gravy? Nah. Scan saying you're gonna let the deviled eggs sit out for hours. I think that's the loophole. Would you like a nice cold pile of mashed potatoes and clumpy gravy?

Starting point is 00:33:47 Scanning going to let the deviled egg stop for hours. I think that's the loophole. They're going downtown, but it's like, why let them sit when you could eat it? And I'm sitting here. My husband, a deviled egg ornament for Christmas, the Christmas tree. It's great. Smart man. All right, Jess, give us a pick. Well, I'm glad that we brought up eating turkey in May because now I'm like, okay, now the doors open. I'm gonna talk about foods that I want to eat year fucking round. Um, I think I'm

Starting point is 00:34:22 gonna go cocktail shrimp, cocktail shrimp at Thanksgiving specifically. I love it. I'm a cocktail shrimp girl. I feel like it's kind of almost handed hand with the double bags. Like if it's served cold, some people feel a little bit hesitant if it sits out for too long. Um, but things with the other like, I'm not letting them fucking fit. I'm going to eat them all. So I love it. I put it right up there with double legs and I love it.

Starting point is 00:34:51 Super lean protein. Very good. For not getting your cocktail shrimp from Costco, you need to start getting it there. They got beautiful, delicious. The lemon wedges. Like rings, even better if someone else is buying it too.

Starting point is 00:35:07 Like if I'm at someone else's Thanksgiving, if someone else purchased finance the cocktail shrimp, I'm all about it. I can tell Andrew and Keith are like I don't. I don't. I don't think I've had too many of them, so I would I would say pass personally, but it's subtle. Do you like shrimp? Yeah. Coconut shrimp, I don't think I've had too many of them, so I would say pass personally, but I'd settle for shrimp. Do you like shrimp?

Starting point is 00:35:28 Coconut shrimp, but that doesn't really count. I like shrimp. I don't love this. It could be either okay or pass for me. I would say it's not like jello. It's not quintessentially Thanksgiving. It's not like Jello it's not Quintessentially Thanksgiving like it's not a Thanksgiving food, so I don't think anyone is leaving if there's no right and Also, it depends on how many other things they're hard to eat right I could easily pass it up if there's other good options Yeah, I don't.

Starting point is 00:36:05 Cocktail shrimp is an interesting one, because I I think Jeff suggested this. And I was like, I don't know if I've ever only once in my life have I ever been to a Thanksgiving and it was there. And then that night, my wife thinks she got food poisoning. So it has a very dark place in my memory. For me, I don't know. Yeah, it could have been anything. But correct me if I'm wrong,

Starting point is 00:36:28 cocktail shrimp's like the cold shrimp, correct? Yeah. Like it's not, yeah. Little red horseradish dipping sauce there. I mean. Yeah, yeah. I mean, it's the go-to appetizer. Go-to?

Starting point is 00:36:41 I mean, I think there's way more things on this list that are go- to appetizers for Thanksgiving over cocktail shrimp. Like what? All of them. There aren't many appetizers on the list. I mean. I'll give them the double dice.

Starting point is 00:36:56 I feel like cocktail shrimp is a Christmas food more for me. And also something I can get all the time. So then I can easily pass it up for Thanksgiving. Well, so here's what I'm thinking is like, everyone's saying, if there's other things, I'll just get those. And I think cocktail shrimp, you'll pass. You will literally pass on the cocktail shrimp

Starting point is 00:37:17 to choose many other options. Aside from, I mean, other than the turkey though, I mean, we do have to consider this as all, you know, high level bodybuilders. It is one of, you know, shrimp's probably one of the best sources of protein we could get, but it's Thanksgiving, who cares? Yeah, I think we can settle on it's okay.

Starting point is 00:37:36 I agree. It's okay. I'll accept. It's okay, good enough. Yep. No one's gonna get on board with the, you know, not everyone would get on board with iPass, so I would, it's okay, I think if we can get them to come to that agreement.

Starting point is 00:37:47 We got to celebrate. We got to keep it moving boys. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Who hasn't, Andrew, I don't think you've started a pick here. Give us a good word. All right. Well, there's plenty on this that I could say are on my, I'm leaving if it's not there, but I'm going to choose, for me, won't even look at, and that's going to be the sweet potatoes. Which ones?

Starting point is 00:38:15 There's like nine sweet potatoes. Anything with sweet potato? Anything that's sweet. Contrary to what we've heard before. I don't consider them vegetables and they who invited you. That was your job. I think you're going to get tough by him with that. I'm just, I'm just throwing that out there.

Starting point is 00:38:43 I know I'm in the minority because everybody I know loves them. Okay, Big Andrew, I'm intrigued by the bourbon sweet potatoes, but I'm with you. I eat sweet potatoes. That is in my meal prep staple. So if it's at Thanksgiving, I don't think I need it. Yeah, I think I got to go with that too. Especially with marshmallows on it. No, thanks. that that that that that

Starting point is 00:39:14 that that that that that that that Unless you go full on dessert. Yeah, sweet potato pie is really good. Regular sweet potatoes. Yeah, I'd probably be okay with sweet potato pie, but yeah. Yeah, should we address all three?

Starting point is 00:39:31 I mean, we might as well while we're here. Yeah, yeah. Those marshmallow ones, I won't even look at it, sorry. Yeah, the casserole could be definitely an out pass or won't even look at it, I think. Yeah, I'll pass. I feel like that's gonna get a lot of hate on the internet. I'm not going to bat for him.

Starting point is 00:39:48 Like, I like him, but like, I'm not going to argue. Like Jeff said, it's candy. Like Anderson, it's it. You don't mean. Oh, I thought it was all of us macro friendly people. Yeah, it's not macros. I don't have a sweet tooth. I don't I'm not a big sweet tooth kind of guy, right?

Starting point is 00:40:05 So something with marshmallows. I'm like, sorry, bud. Not gonna happen. I definitely like my salt and pepper. Yeah. Yeah, I guess I mean, you know, you really have to think about, you know, what is there room for? Do you have one of those gigantic 40-inch plates? Do you only have a 10-inch plate? The 200 pack from Costco. I was gonna use the garbage can lid that you guys weren't using. plates. You only have a 10 inch plate. The 200 pack from Costco. I was going to use the garbage can lid that you guys weren't using.

Starting point is 00:40:28 Turkey, I figured that was free. So sweet potato pie. Where do we land on that? I don't even think I've ever had that. I'm going to go with that either. I love it or it's OK. Personally, I think it's OK. Yeah, I'm good with that.

Starting point is 00:40:40 Yeah, I like that. There's better pies on this list. Yeah, I've always said that. Are the Bourbons that I'll pass or how could you screw up Jello? I believe big Ryan submission. I have never even heard of these the glazed sweet potatoes as some Like isn't wouldn't be a was there a difference between a yam and sweet potato? Like isn't wouldn't be a was there a difference between a yam and a sweet potato? Because I only say yams and Thanksgiving. I've never heard of yams. Minor, but they're interchangeable. It's minor.

Starting point is 00:41:11 Yeah. But it's a great point. I don't want those yams. It's like between a hawk or a goose. Yeah. It could be an eagle. I don't know. I don't want those canned yams. Get those canned yams out of here. No. But if this is different than that, then let's talk.

Starting point is 00:41:30 I think I can't just say I'll pass on if someone presents me a bourbon sweet potato because now you've brought in bourbon and I'm like, oh, I don't think I can pass. I think I have to at least try it. I'd probably try it too, despite my dislike for sweet potatoes. I don't. Yeah. So so none of us have even had this variation that was suggested. No, could there be a time that I would try it? Yeah, I feel like it goes on. How do you mess up Jell-O?

Starting point is 00:42:00 I think it belongs there. I'm down with that. My mother makes a real good sweet potato casserole that is kind of like this. There's no bourbon in it, but it's sliced sweet potatoes, apples, cinnamon. There's all kinds of other

Starting point is 00:42:12 cinnamon syrup I think is in there. So that's my frame of reference for this, and that's an I love it for me, but I don't know if that's exactly what we're talking about now, so don't necessarily expect it. You know, so I'm not leaving if it's not there.

Starting point is 00:42:25 I mean, I would probably really like it, but also if you're not familiar with it, it's gonna be hard for you to say that. Yeah, I like our new category. I like the, I would give it a taste. Yeah, I would do that. I'd give it a go. My keyboard has entire, oh, there it goes.

Starting point is 00:42:43 How do you screw up Jello? We've got that and the lateral below for. I would taste it. It was a sultry boy. I wouldn't I would taste it be above how could you group Jello? I don't know. You tell me. I say yes, because I know what that jello mold is and I'm not. I am interested.

Starting point is 00:43:11 Yeah, I think I would say. Yeah, but it could be that little positive tick at the end. You're like, no, no. Oh, absolutely not. Oh, look at that, though. Yeah, could be. But. Yeah, I like the rankings a little better. I would taste it. Yeah, I like that. I guess better. I would taste it. Yeah, I like that. I guess that is slightly above.

Starting point is 00:43:28 I'll pass. Yeah, it's fair. You got a workshop. Jen, would you like some sweet potatoes? No, I'll pass. There's bourbon. Oh, I'll have a little bit of that. I'll taste it.

Starting point is 00:43:40 Give her a taste. I'll taste it. Just a bit. Wait, there is bourbon. That could also be the category title. But then if there's liquor in it, well, that's perfectly fine. They spell bourbon, right? Probably. Oh.

Starting point is 00:44:01 Another. Don't ask me. It's a real morgan. Burr, you. Oh, gosh, I look like Keith is so embarrassing. I only type. I don't know.

Starting point is 00:44:15 You fucker. Yeah, I can't trust you. Right. Big spell check over here. Man, we. Man, we really knocked it out of the park with that one. Scantz, have you picked one? As our international correspondent

Starting point is 00:44:33 who celebrates multiple thanksgivings. I'm going to loop one. I'm going to I'm going to do a grouping here. Oh, boy. OK, it's like, so's not like all the puzzle. I would like to solve the puzzle. You've got pumpkin pie, Costco pumpkin pie and pumpkin roll. I'm going to look at it, lump that into the group. Is there a difference between pumpkin pie and Costco pumpkin pie?

Starting point is 00:44:58 I don't know. I felt like it was someone put Costco pumpkin pie and I felt like given our history, that's an important distinction. Ryan. No, I think it was that. Good. They can travel together for sure. I'd say one pumpkin pie, but I wouldn't marry pumpkin pie and pumpkin roll ever. What is a pumpkin roll? I don't know, but that's why I'm not fucking grouping it with a good pumpkin pie,

Starting point is 00:45:22 because I don't know what the fuck a pumpkin roll is. You've never had a pumpkin roll. I think I have, but it's why I'm not fucking grouping it with a good pumpkin pie, because I don't know what the fucking pumpkin roll is. You've never had a pumpkin roll? I think I have, but it's probably something I'd give a taste. Way, way before pumpkin pie. I'm sorry. I'm out of the know here, but pumpkin pie is not good. Is that like sponge cake made? Like not sponge cake, like I'm going off the picture. I kind of think I'm almost like a cake.

Starting point is 00:45:42 It's like a pumpkin bar. Have you ever had a pumpkin bar? I don't know a pumpkin bar. Have you ever had a pumpkin bar? I don't know what that is. What the heck's a pumpkin bar? Have you ever had cream cheese frosting? Yeah. I'd give it a taste like that. I can't believe you guys have never had a pumpkin. You know what? Oh, yeah.

Starting point is 00:45:57 Keith just hit it right there. I'll go with the pumpkin roll. I'll give it a taste. But the pumpkin pies. Now, thanks, dude. OK, wow. I feel like this is a cry myself asleep. I can't I can't pass on a pumpkin pie. It's got to go to OK if we're gonna get what? No, I'm passing. OK, well, that's fine. I'm just saying like three people just said

Starting point is 00:46:19 they would pass on it. So I know I'm not going to get it to guy. Love it or above. So I'm trying to compromise. I'm the only one. It's OK. This is another fabric of society So I know I'm not gonna get it to guy love it or above so I'm trying to compromise This is another society thing My version of dessert But you need you need to have it at Thanksgiving I'll eat it any day of the year, but you need it does really it honestly it does need to be there But that's if you need turkey if you guys need turkey pumpkin pie needs to be a Thanksgiving Okay, look at my background. What does peppermint patty if you guys need turkey pumpkin pie needs to be a thanksgiving

Starting point is 00:46:49 okay look at my background what does peppermint patty say where's the pumpkin pie chuck that's true that is true um you're you're right i know i know several members of the family will not show up i need to spend time with family so it needs to be there living in a society with family, so it needs to be there. Living in a society. Absolutely. I've got friends that love pumpkin pie. They love pumpkin pie so much and like they have it for their birthdays that are in November and they taught me this and it changed the course of my life. I saw them take a whole pumpkin pie, two people, they cut it into quarters.

Starting point is 00:47:22 These are big pieces and they just pick it up with their hands, like a piece of pizza. And the second part of my life began when I realized that I can just grab it. You will catch me just walking around the house with a piece of pumpkin pie. So you don't do cool whip on it then or? I don't think I need that. No, no. Would you say cool whip? Cool whip?

Starting point is 00:47:43 Cool whip? Wait, Skets, you don't know what cool that. No, no. Would you say cool whip? Cool whip? Cool whip? Wait, Skets, you don't know what cool whip is? Dude, he was around before cool whip was invented. It was just kind of cool whip when it started out. Yeah, it was just warm whip. Mediocre whip. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:48:03 I would bump it up because of the jest story of the mechanism of consuming this. I can't believe I said consume on this show. Nobody's ever used the word consume, but that's all I ever say. I know. Look, they got it. They got Keith. Someone tell David why that's funny. Nice try one of the David's.

Starting point is 00:48:30 I'm going to the pumpkin roll then yeah we're going to go with love it or okay. I've never had pump I'm just I have I try I try I try I try I try it. It's cream cheese like it's just I I just use it as a vessel for cream cheese. Sweetened cream cheese. Are you waiting another fucking row? Yeah. Welcome to the game. They have to keep one, two, three, four. He says your spreadsheet.

Starting point is 00:48:57 There's no order here. Life comes at you pretty quick. Their key energy over here. The football one's bars will put out have like 10k hours. Yeah. I think the only reason I'm having to do this is because there's another dessert up. This is the most unoriginal name you've ever heard.

Starting point is 00:49:14 That's fine, leave it. I was trying to think of putting the pumpkin roll in there and I just created a tier called pumpkin roll. So yeah, pumpkin roll will just go in pumpkin roll tier What did we decide to put in there though pumpkin roll? Oh, okay, just check We all had a decision but Nate liked it more than we all did so, you know override But he doesn't like it as much as he does bourbon sweet potatoes, I guess. I've never had those. So should we bump it up? I don't know. Okay.

Starting point is 00:49:48 I would probably agree with that because it is a dessert. Is there any more bourbon adjacent Thanksgiving meals for foods that we need to include? Just to tell you, because I don't know what fucking like three of these things are. Well, it's not on here. I think getting takeout is. Could be bourbon. Getting takeout is could be bourbon. Good take out is only drinking bourbon. How about about pecan pie? Common ingredient pecan pie is bourbon.

Starting point is 00:50:11 Really? I'm leaving if it's not there. Hands down. Do you like a pecan pie? Yeah, is it pecan or pecan? That's the real question we have to answer. Mm hmm. So I think I say pecan.

Starting point is 00:50:25 Oh yeah, we said con. Pecan, yeah. Pecan, yeah. I think I would say pecan. Con is king. I think it depends on the day, Jess. Yeah, I've never had it before, so I'm not really an authority on it.

Starting point is 00:50:39 Yeah, where do we land pecan? Oh my god. I mean, I think it fits in the bourbon. What is wrong with you? Why haven't you tried it? Why haven't we tried it? Jess hasn't tried pecan pie. It's never been anywhere that I've been.

Starting point is 00:50:52 It's a double fist in pumpkin pie. Yeah. Yeah. Well, Chermine is about ready to be blown with pecan pie. I know. It is. If you love that pumpkin pie that much, pecan pie. It's different, but it's fucking good So like my son will ask for a pecan pie on his birthday, which is not even close

Starting point is 00:51:15 It's better than sweet potato pie in my opinion So it's gonna be at least I love it or I'm not leaving if it's not there people want to agree with that or not I don't know. I don't understand like what it is underneath the pecans. That's okay. Sugar. You don't need to know it's sugar. It is sugar. Movie elf. It's like sugar with some syrup. Stan, have you had, have you heard of a butter tart or had a butter tart?

Starting point is 00:51:47 Oh yeah. Is it like a butter tart? You mean like an almond? The consistency would be similar. I would say the consistency would be very similar, but a pecan pie has like actual pecan halves on the top. Like it's... No way!

Starting point is 00:52:04 A butter tart doesn't have, a butter tart is smooth. It doesn't have chunks of stuff, right? So. I will taste it. I will taste it, but I understand that we'll probably go higher up on the list and I'm okay with that. Oh, I'm gonna send you a pie, a pecan pie. I'm gonna send you a first slice,

Starting point is 00:52:20 you can walk around the hook. Yeah. Yes. I'm gonna send you one handful of pie. If it has to go through Carol Stream and will never make it to her. That will get a post is on strike. I can't even send it.

Starting point is 00:52:33 Oh, gosh. Fly it on. Should we go? I love it because it's maybe not as essential as pumpkin pie or is it essential as pumpkin pie? I think it's just you just went into sport mode on us. It's better than sweet potato.

Starting point is 00:52:47 So. Keith went into sport mode. It's 100 times better than pumpkin. I'm cool with it being either of the top two, but it's just got to be above sweet potato. I feel like you have to have it in the top because half your people are going to want pecan and half are going to want pumpkin. I think that's a good point. I like them equally, but I don't know. I don't know a lot of people to want pecan and half are going to want pumpkin. I think that's a good point. I like them equally, but I don't know. I don't I don't know a lot of people that like pecan pie.

Starting point is 00:53:08 But yeah, your people are wrong. Well, you are my people, so I know. Well, we are. You're so sweet. I'm good with either of the top two. I think it's OK. Back to just the fabric, the fabric of society. I think it's a okay back to Jeff's fabric.

Starting point is 00:53:25 The fabric of society. It is part of the fabric of our society. Pecan pie. We're not leaving unless it's there. I can't believe there's no apple pie. Well, we suggested it, Jess. We asked for suggestions. You didn't suggest it. So it's not on the list. Okay. Which one of the pumpkin desserts were we gonna bump off for a bloody apple pie?

Starting point is 00:53:49 The roll. Yeah, but we needed like 14 pumpkin selection in there. Again, again, I can't say it again. You had time to suggest things. No one suggested it, don't be mad. It's your own fault, actually. Scantz wasn't in the chat until like three hours ago. Yeah, I'm good.

Starting point is 00:54:08 Jen had a story. I did. Yeah. Everyone knows Keith will tell you people never respond to those story things. So, you know, big poll guy over there. Big, big poll guy. She said this. Yeah, she did. Not to keep Tiger meat. What is Tiger meat?

Starting point is 00:54:29 It's that shit they always talk about. And Aberdeen. What do you mean? Is it a right? I've never heard of it before. It's raw ground beef. Yeah, kind of like a tartar. I'm going to pass her.

Starting point is 00:54:43 I won't even fucking look at it. I'm definitely not. I'm not going to. I would try to even fucking look at it. I'm definitely not I would try a category for it like great I try I would try it I don't know I ain't looking for a tap water. Wait, I'm sorry. So is this an appetizer? I listen, this is a like a South Dakota delicacy.

Starting point is 00:55:08 Yeah, South Dakota delicacy right here. Like what part of the meal that I think of should we call it? Can we phone a friend? We phone a friend. It's a palate cleanser. Wait. Yeah. Yeah. Do we have to put it out with the dips?

Starting point is 00:55:22 Yeah, I try to like true falls. I'll try to crew falls. Because I was just dips? Yeah, I'm trying to like true fall. I'll try to crew falls. Exactly. I was just going to say that. I'm not trying to do Thanksgiving. I'm not ruining my Thanksgiving. So we're going to look at it. No, if it looks like this picture that you shared, I'm not looking at it. Yeah, I'm not looking at it.

Starting point is 00:55:36 I think that's exactly what it looks like, guys. Perfect. Which was very disturbing to me when I found it. Sorry. Sorry, podcast hosts. I feel like it's very upsetting that that goes next to me when I found it. Sorry, sorry podcast hosts. I feel like it's very upsetting that that goes next to sweet potato casserole. I feel like that's a disservice to sweet potato casserole. But you know. It's really quite the dichotomy.

Starting point is 00:55:55 I mean it is just a juxtaposition of those two things next to each other. We should knock some of these other things out. Like whatever the Norwegian. Someone suggested these Norwegian things. Someone on the podcast currently or someone? I don't know. Listen, I just... It was late.

Starting point is 00:56:17 Was it a David who couldn't make it? No, no. It was somebody. Oh, it was through your Instagram. Yeah. Then I'd say we don't even talk about it because no one no, it was somebody. Oh, it was it was through your Instagram. Yeah. Yeah. Then I'd say we don't even talk about it because no one knows what it is. It's a Norwegian flatbread. It's made with rice potatoes can include all purpose flour, includes buttermilk,

Starting point is 00:56:34 cream or lard. It's cooked on a large flat griddle. These look dope. Yeah, you had me at lard. I try it. I try it. This just looks like this looks like a tortilla. This just looks like Norwegian Norwegian Norwegian. Oregon Tia's. Nortia. And I looked at that picture and I thought it was fish.

Starting point is 00:56:53 I thought it was like sardines or something. I kind of thought it was fish adjacent as well. No, it's these just these are just tortillas that you eat. I think it looks like a cannoli. I need the backstory. These are potato tortillas. I don't think I wanted a Thanksgiving. Yeah, I think I looks like a cannoli. I need the backstory. These are potato tortillas. I don't think I wanted Thanksgiving. Yeah, I think I'll pass.

Starting point is 00:57:09 This is not Thanksgiving food. I would try it, but I pass. No, no, gosh. What are you doing? I'm trying to get the recipe over here for us all to all the witness. I think we all passed. All right. We're passing. But we'll look at it.

Starting point is 00:57:29 Yeah. Yeah. We'll get you that. I mean, it's a tortilla. Who doesn't like a tortilla? It's a potato tortilla. That's one of those things that everybody would probably pass on. And then I would just eat all of them. See that. Yeah, that's the thing.

Starting point is 00:57:44 Like it's one of those. It's like, what is that? Oh, it's like a tortilla and I'd be like, oh, let me try that. And then like I would go back with walk back secretly with a whole plateful. Yeah. All right. How many we got left? What are we doing with Costco pumpkin pie? I feel like that's a delete it. It's the same as a chicken pie.

Starting point is 00:58:01 Like, yeah, I'm not going to have that many variations of the same fucking thing. OK, so you need to be making your own. I realize that Costco does a really good. They do great at pies, but you got to make your own for the very great society. Like next week, but it's I don't think any. All right. What's next? Where are we going? Well, we got to deal with the cranberry sauce issue.

Starting point is 00:58:26 Yeah, OK. That's a good one. Yeah, I love it. I'm leaving if it's not there. I agree. It's that can in the can. Yeah, any kind, really. And talk to me. My dad makes this homemade one that has I I mean, Keith would like it, it has like, like bits of orange in it too and orange zest or something.

Starting point is 00:58:56 Yeah. Yeah, like that I'm leaving if it's not there. The canned stuff, I'd probably throw that and I love it or it's okay. How about how do you screw up Jello? Yeah, it'd probably throw that in. I love it or it's okay. How about how do you screw up jello? Yeah, it would probably go in there. I was going to bring that up, Jeff, because my mother-in-law makes the cranberry jello with the orange zest. Yeah, that's what I think of.

Starting point is 00:59:18 I would like that, but I'm not thinking that's not the can. But not canned, no. I mean, I don't. I feel like it should go with the jello. Yeah, I think it could go the canned. But not canned, no. I mean, I don't mean it. I feel like it should go with the jello. Yeah, I think it could go with the jello. How do you? They're friends. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:59:31 Weird. But in the show notes, real cranberry sauce made from no cranberries is either, is a top two tier. All right. Yeah, I agree. We'll take note of that, we'll take note of that. All right, we've got to address the elephant in the room. Glazed veggies.

Starting point is 00:59:47 I mean, we're all about glazed things here. Orange glazed or regular glaze? I don't know. The picture is carrot. So you can call them orange glazed veggies if you want. That's up to you. I have it every. It's OK. Every big meal we have it in our house.

Starting point is 01:00:04 I do like a honey glazed carrot every meal, every holiday meal. Oh, OK. I was going to say, yeah, breakfast, lunch and dinner. Yeah, that's so many veggies. I have to go scan my name with physique. Honey glazed veggies, infinity. Where are we putting it? Fellas and ladies. I'm a just I think it's OK.

Starting point is 01:00:29 It's OK. It's OK. Oh, she put it on the plate to show you're not a total glutton, but some may or may not be left over at the end of it. If I'm in any space on my plate for a vegetable, it's green bean casserole. I agree. Mm hmm. Stop. Jess, what you don't eat pecan pie, but you'll eat green bean casserole. I agree. Stop. Jess, you don't eat pecan pie, but you'll eat green bean casserole?

Starting point is 01:00:49 She's never, she's just never had the opportunity to have pecan pie. Relax, Jen. Relax. Everyone's a hater. She's just never going to have the opportunity. I'll be there. I'll be there in 18 hours. I got a whiff of a pie right now.

Starting point is 01:01:02 It has nothing to do with her dist give you my. Her distaste. Can I give you my my green bean casserole category? Oh, gosh. That that tier is you're only considering this because it's Thanksgiving. No, I love it. I would eat it any time of the year. Well, then it shouldn't be. I think it's for the winter.

Starting point is 01:01:21 I mean, I'm just saying I it's a Thanksgiving staple, but I would eat it. I've had it on non Thanksgiving days. Nasty. Nasty. What's on top of it? Crunchy stuff. The little onions. I mean, I could eat a whole can of those, but I can pass. Which is the whole purpose of me. Which is the whole purpose of me eating it is the fry.

Starting point is 01:01:47 I thought that's why we all ate it. Then why don't we just put a can of French onions up? Because we want to feel better about ourselves. Why do we do many things that Americans do? I think like anything, like it could be made good, it could be made poorly. But yeah, assuming it's the best green bean casserole there is out there I'm leaving if it's not there we want a lot of us are passing or it's okay

Starting point is 01:02:18 Jess wants it all the way at the top wait Wait, is it just me and Nate? Who else likes it? I like it, but if it's not there, that's OK. Like, yeah. So flipping, I love it and it's OK. Now we have to make a decision. No coin flipping here. It's got to be above glazed veggie. Then then I love God, no. No, it's fucking it's OK.

Starting point is 01:02:41 Make it. No, I wouldn't do a honey glaze carrot over a green bean casserole. I think just you're you're just you're just loving those french fried onions. Yeah, 100%. That's the best part. Ours has like mushrooms in it or like it's got like cream of mushroom soup.

Starting point is 01:02:56 Cream of mushroom. Yeah, you have to like mushrooms and I do. I know I love mushrooms. You can see that, but I also don't. OK, you send me a pecan pie. I also don't love green bean casserole. You send me a pecan pie, I'll send you a green bean casserole. I mean, I'm kind of doing green bean casserole, but you're, you're the soup. No, the soup is what does it for me. And I love-

Starting point is 01:03:17 You're putting soup in it. It's like a concentrate. I understand what it is. I know how to cook it. Oh. Oh, she just took a turn. Here it comes. Nobody doing your cooking skills. Nobody your cooking skills. I know how to cook. Geez. Wow. But this is because earlier we said, OK, each of these foods is the best version of it.

Starting point is 01:03:44 But you're not necessarily getting the best version of it. Like my my lot of these foods you get what you get. I only experienced what I've had at various points along the way in the past. I don't know. I think it's quintessential to a Thanksgiving meal. I'm trying to appeal to Jeff here. Yeah, I get that. Where can we settle? I mean, it's okay. I don't know if it does deserve it. I love it. I don't know.

Starting point is 01:04:14 Based on the general consensus, I don't know if it deserves it. I love it. I don't feel the love tonight. I mean, I am not Simba and Nala right now. Or Nala, or whatever her name is. Lion King. I think it's good. It's OK, but it's fine. I won't hang up over that. And you know what that means? Daily Dumble? It's time to thank our sponsors, the OK Podcast,

Starting point is 01:04:45 the OK Podcast, warm-blooded folks over there. If you call them, they will answer. They're not a robot. They're not chat GPT. If you have tax questions, don't call them. But if you have questions about SEC football, give them a ring. They'd love to answer those. Shout out to the OK Podcast for sponsoring the It's OK category of our podcast.

Starting point is 01:05:08 All right. You know what? I have to go back. I feel really bad about this because I. I put double the eggs and green bean in the same one, and I felt bad that Justin get her choice when double the eggs went. I love it. What do you mean? I'm trying to be a nice person. Oh, we're just.

Starting point is 01:05:29 OK, no, it's a tough world out there. You can't go that easy on me. We can't be moving stuff around. I don't know how to use computers. We've you've showed us that a couple of times. Keith is just slowly putting on more and more. He he took over. Keith has put on a headband.

Starting point is 01:05:50 He's put on glasses now. That's not Keith, baby. Do you sure? This is a whole nother person. Is that Chris Gaines? I hope not. I didn't get arrested. Oh, jeez. Corn pudding. Where do we put this? I've never had this before.

Starting point is 01:06:05 What's what's the deal? Even if it's not there, it's the best thing ever. I don't know. Nobody else even has it. But it's to me, it's more a nostalgia thing to my, you know, I wish I savvy story like my aunt that passed away used to make it. And it was always a thing that I got always expected her to bring and stuff. And then my mother-in-law makes it now to like an honor kind of that.

Starting point is 01:06:23 And it's just like to me, it's a staple that always be there. I minimum it's I love it. You guys can eat my ass. I don't care. I'm not going That way I started out talking about a deceased family. Yeah, it took a bad turn. Oh, my gosh. Post a bad turn, I think, starting out with the emotional like hole of bringing up a deceased man and started having an inner dialogue about it. I could already see everyone not liking it. And I'm like, you guys, wait, you didn't give us a chance.

Starting point is 01:07:04 I know I'm a knee jerk reaction. I was about to ask, what is it? I said to me, it's like it's actually delicious. Yeah, just think of like cornbread with corn in it. But like lots of corn and sweet. Maybe Jen can describe it better. Like a cornbread, I know, but just just said she didn't like cornbread, but I have to say this is a little different. It's very nice. It's nice. It's delicious. Is it like a cream? You spoon it out. You don't like cut it in chunks.

Starting point is 01:07:35 Yeah, it I would say better than cream corn, but in thicker with a little bit of a corn breadie taste. a little bit of a cornbread taste. I think it's I think it's exactly. We call it Jiffy corn actually at our house instead of corn pudding. Where where where is this? It makes to make it a confused. Does anyone not like it? I feel like we go out on. I love it. I have never had that.

Starting point is 01:08:00 I bet you would like it, Andrew. I can tell. I would try it. Yeah, I'd try it. I will. Now. No, you're gonna love it. In honor of Keith's aunt. Listen, you either love it or you have to get to some freaky stuff tonight. So, your call. In honor of Keith's aunt, I'm fucking leaving if it's not there. If the option is corn pudding or Keith's ass, I'm taking.

Starting point is 01:08:29 I guess that'll be the title. Corn. I'm cool with it being either either the tops. Appreciate that, guys. I'm cool with it being on the top. Good. Are we are we not are we leaving? This is good. Oh, I think I love it. It's fine. I think I'm good. I'm good with it.

Starting point is 01:08:47 I love it. I needed to be in one of the top two. That's all. That's one of my bigger grapes. So I'm good with that one of your bigger grapes. No kidding. It would be if it wasn't that is I'm saying you don't say it's one of your bigger grapes. I was looking for the the Mike Tyson Keith head but photo, but I couldn't find it quickly enough

Starting point is 01:09:06 to get it into the list. That we could also just rank that as to where we would like to put it. But. All right. Wow. You know what that sound means. Yeah, that ready to go.

Starting point is 01:09:23 It's time. What? Oh, what? This old thing? I call it the disturbed turkey. And you know what that sound means. It means it's time to hear from our other sponsor, the Mastinomics podcast. So for this, this little handy dandy ad read, someone suggested this.

Starting point is 01:09:41 I hope you're all prepared. But because it's the Thanksgiving episode, what better thing to do on a Thanksgiving episode than be thankful? So we're going to go around the horn real quick, real fast. We got a lot of foods to rate, not a lot of time. What are we thankful for with Masanomics? Jess, I want you to go first. You've been on this podcast almost as much as Keith has. What are you most thankful for about Masanomics?

Starting point is 01:10:08 Oh my gosh, Masanomics has changed my life in so many ways. I, as kind of a minority in the crew, would not be lifting at all, if not for the Masanomics podcast, not the other way around. And I would know all of you lovely people. A lot of my friends and people I talk to the most often, are people I've met through power lifting which is through massonomics. So thank you massonomics for my social life and my improved health over the past year.

Starting point is 01:10:37 Thank you Jess. Big Jen, what are you thankful for? Well, obvious. The obvious answer is the friend you make along the way. Just like Big Jess said. However, my other favorite part are the inside jokes of the inside jokes of the inside. I and I never get tired of them, so that's probably my second favorite. But but all of you know. Big Jeff, how about you?

Starting point is 01:11:09 Oh, well, I got to plug the Mastomix Discord. I mean, I work at home all day. I, you know, don't have the socialization I used to have out there in the real world. So the Discord is the water cooler for me, one of a couple of water coolers that keep me busy and distracted during the day. So just keeps me sane while I'm here, plugging away on the computer for 10 hours.

Starting point is 01:11:31 Good, good deal. Big Andrew. I would say community and second thing would be the laughs, the type of sense of humor. Maybe this is along the same lines as Jen was talking about. But you know, I'll just like, with just a quick little story, you know, had some things going on last year where I had some particularly down days, had a really, really down day. But that was the day that Brian

Starting point is 01:12:07 stopped following Mastanomics and it just like, it really, it really like turned everything. And so just, just like that encapsulates like what the humor can do for, you know, what the humor can do for, you know, for me and like just us all laughing together at the same sort of just stupid as crap. It just I love it. Thanks for sharing. He said Big Brian. Yeah, that was a dark day, though, for me, just, you know, for Brian. All right, Scant. Well, it gives me a place to spend Mrs. Scant's money other than cocaine and online gambling.

Starting point is 01:12:55 I mean, that's good. No, honestly, again, like everybody talks about the community, there's nothing better. There's nothing better than the look on my guy buddy's faces when they're like, Oh, what are you doing? You know, come on here the next few weeks. Oh, I'm going to go to South Dakota and go live with some buddies. What? Yeah, I'm going to wait some buddies in South Dakota. What are you an idiot?

Starting point is 01:13:18 So yeah, that's about it. The community, the laughs, the discourse. If you're not on the discord, why are you not on the discord? What's going on? And we can get into conversations about the pumpkin pie and green bean casseroles. But mainly the cocaine and online gambling. So anyways, Keith, tell us about your cocaine. Yeah. Obviously, I mean, most of what everybody said, I feel very similar on the lines, the community aspect.

Starting point is 01:13:51 Never knew what it was like to have a much, much older sister until Big, Big Jen came around. From the audio listeners, we did get a middle finger there just so that everyone knows. The in-person meetups I really enjoy, and then what facilitate those to make them better for me is the podcast that we've created here, and being able to spend a couple hours every week talking to these new crew that then I get to go meet

Starting point is 01:14:17 in-person, at least 70% of them, at some point over the years. So that whole aspect of just building my personal community to fucking several hundred people that I've actually talked to in depth, either virtually or in person. So that has been an amazing aspect in addition to my life the last few years.

Starting point is 01:14:36 Thanks to Tommy and Tanner and what they created to begin with. Yeah. I guess it comes down to me now. I don't even know, man. It's pretty cool. I was thinking about it and it's a wild thing that a podcast from the Midwest about nothing can really join together a bunch of people.

Starting point is 01:15:04 I think about my buddy Tom, who will I swear will get to him. But like. Tom came out with me to. The Arnold just on a whim, he was like, hey. I want to go, are you going? And I was just like, yeah, but buckle up, there's going to be some weird people and we're just going to hang out with them. And that's what we get to do is we just get to go to the Arnold and we just hang out. And it's like a safe space, like a safe place. Like, hey, I need to drop my stuff. We just

Starting point is 01:15:36 go over here. Like, it's super cool. But like he comes back and like a month or two later, he's on the Discord. He comes up to me at church. He's like, hey, dude, I started listening to the Mastinomics podcast. And it just like it's so cool as to like he says things now that, you know, only him and I get like we this isn't necessarily Mastinomics related, but we started a new series in our young adult group and it was called Table Talk. And like we just like look across the room at each other and we're like, we hope there's not too many snorts or notes in this podcast today, in this message today.

Starting point is 01:16:14 It's just, there's so much, it's so deep and it's like, we wouldn't have those weird connections with people like Tom and I are friends, but it's so cool to have that one thing that it's like immediately, oh, you listen to the podcast, everything now goes 110% and there's so much more there behind stuff. So shout out to Tanner and Tommy and all that they do out there. But back to the serious stuff. Love that sound. We have something on the list that I added on a whim. I added after this recording started as to not give Keith a heads up that it was going to be there.

Starting point is 01:16:57 But the one and only chicken parm. I feel like it's essential that it is on the list for certain people here's reason. But Chicken Parm, just as a Midwest staple, as it is in the Midwest, big and all the restaurants out there do a great job with it. Way better than any restaurants in New York. Big Jen, if you'd like to just take the floor and talk about, I know you're a big chicken parm person. So if you'd like to take the floor and just give us anything. Oh my gosh.

Starting point is 01:17:40 I don't even know where to go with this. Chicken parm. I've had some really good chicken farm. I don't know that I've had really good chicken farm in the Midwest. I don't know that it's a Thanksgiving staple. I don't know. There's a lot about it. I do love that it's brought us all together in this hilarious way. So I put down a Northwest or a

Starting point is 01:18:11 Western Northeast South Dakota chicken farm. I think it was invented in Wisconsin, was it not? Possibly. Midwest. Yeah. How would you where is that? Where are you pulling? It seems unlikely. I mean, no, just you got the cheese thing going for them. I mean, you may get Google.

Starting point is 01:18:40 I can see a chicken, a chicken, a fried protein with noodles noodles with cheese coming from the Midwest. Don't get me wrong. Yeah, just to be clear, I just made that up. Wikipedia says you're dead wrong. It would actually shock you to where it would come out of maybe a state called New York, which is a very small state, if you didn't know. I think the Y is silent. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:19:11 But yeah, nowhere, you could probably not get a good chicken parm from the originating state, kind of like the way cheesesteaks or whatever people say. How did you land on chicken parm as your thing, Keith? I'd just like to know. That could also go back to Scant's comment How did you land on chicken parmesan thing, Keith? I'd just like to know. That could also go back to Skant's comment about the gel and load being from the 70s and 80s.

Starting point is 01:19:31 I feel like that was high pollutant thing back then, but not anymore. The concept of carb loading before a power lifting meat or something and just pasta. I don't cook at the house. I'm not gonna figure out, I'm not gonna cook fettuccine or something at just like pasta. I don't cook at the house. I'm not going to like figure out, I'm not going to like cook fettuccine or something at the house. So it's like, I just go out to the restaurant and what's an easy way to get a much extra. You don't cook pasta at your house?

Starting point is 01:19:54 Matt, Keith has a really hard time boiling pasta. I guess. Then you got to make sauce and all that shit. Like I don't, I'm good. So convenience of going out to eat and it just became a thing so always chicken parm before any kind of lifting. Meet a tangent time so when you got to eat pasta any of you. I always tend to grab a pasta that I don't I can't get at home right you know I can't make it but it always takes a lot of work or you know, like a good Alfredo or a good I don't know what but I'm most certainly not getting chicken parm because that seems like something I can throw together easy at home. Yeah, I'm not getting any kind of pasta in a restaurant. You're not getting any kind?

Starting point is 01:20:39 I can make it a home for like, you know, pennies on the dollar. What if it has to be very, you know, pennies on the dollar. It would need to be very, very, very special. It's not going to be chicken parm. Sorry, you can make everything at home like the what like anybody can make anything at home that they go out to a fucking restaurant to get so I'm poking holes in a lot of that logic. It's cost efficient to make it at home. Like if you go to a restaurant, you're getting a steak like that. Like, what do you say? Like, cost money. So like, Like if you go to a rest, I'm going to get a mistake like that. Like what is like cost money?

Starting point is 01:21:04 So like. I would treat myself to something that actually like pasta is very cheap. He let's get back to getting sauce and very what someone we're going to be here for four hours. I'm a man. Gin segwayed nine times. Fuck off. We're good.

Starting point is 01:21:21 Oh, Jesus. We don't get everything. That's everybody pick on Keith. I'm done. Oh, Jesus. I think we don't get everything. That's OK. Everybody pick on Keith. I'm done. On the on the rank. I won't even look. You won't even look at it. I would. I don't know.

Starting point is 01:21:32 Like who the fuck's going to make chicken parm on Thanksgiving? Nobody. It doesn't. I think you would look at it, Keith. I think there was a what if there was a parallel to me? Yes, me. Let's say we'll pass on it. We'll pass. We'll all pass. It's Thanksgiving. It's Thanksgiving.

Starting point is 01:21:45 It's Thanksgiving. I would, I'd pick it up before I picked up turkey, but I'm just. It's too heavy. I would too, but I'm not trying to argue. You're the moderator. Stay in your lane. I can do whatever I want, okay? It's too heavy.

Starting point is 01:22:00 If I got chicken parm on the plate, then I'm not, you know, now it's gonna be hard to get the other stuff in there too. I'll throw a controversial one out there. My, what I would consider a go-to protein, but most people don't do it on Thanksgiving, ham. I think a spiral ham is head and shoulders above any type of turkey. And I actually asked my wife today, because we're doing Thanksgiving,

Starting point is 01:22:21 and my mother-in-law is next week. And I was like, is there any way we can just do a tiny spiral ham also? Because you and I both fucking hate turkey. And she's like, yeah, I'll see if we can do something like that. So ham to me is, and I love it personally on Thanksgiving. It doesn't have to be there, obviously. We put it above it. It's okay. I think ham is a good ham. It's a nice secondary option if you don't love turkey. Okay, I did put this on the list and we are doing turkey this year. We're doing Sparrowcat ham

Starting point is 01:22:48 because we're not doing ham for Christmas. And I, yeah, so I think I'm with you. Ham's the only protein that I put above, it's okay. Because I do think that as a holiday food, everything else is everyday food. Right. Yes, for sure. I love a good ham.

Starting point is 01:23:10 Shout out Aldi Ham. The Appleton hams are amazing. I've been getting for like 20 years. They're amazing. Oh, yeah. Make a special trip to go get a spiral cut. Aldi Ham. Oh, yeah.

Starting point is 01:23:21 With the little glaze on it. And Sean smokes it. Smoke, smoke your spiral cut. it. And Sean smokes it. Smoke your Spilika, it's delicious. Do it. I need to get a smoker. Now you've got to catch it. That's at my dad's house. I think you want a Menards.

Starting point is 01:23:42 Aw man. Alright, I love it. I love it. We love it. Hey, it did. I was hoping it ended up in our OK podcast category or it's OK. It's gone. It's OK category, because then we could give a shout out to Big Grant because he says every good meal starts with the death of a pig.

Starting point is 01:24:00 So but it didn't quite make it there, but we fit it in anyway. Funeral potatoes. I just learned about these recently. What are these? What are they? I guess this is a scalloped potato. It's kind of like a small potato. You got the corn flakes on top. Yeah, cheesy potato flakes on it. I would get out of here.

Starting point is 01:24:17 They're usually like diced. It's like a cube. Yeah, or shredded. Yeah. Yeah, that's OK. So it's like a casserole then kind of. Yeah, like sour cream and cheese and back to Jess's condensed soup It's you take a can of soup you mix it with some vegetable you put some Non, you know food that belongs at another meal on top of it. And then, you know, this is, this is the food. It's just

Starting point is 01:24:50 a strange kind of, it's the, it's the, I'm only doing this because it's Thanksgiving combination. I think green bean casserole, funeral potatoes, all these weird casserole things that Jeff mentions are what keeps the Midwest the Midwest personally. Is we're just going to throw a bunch of stuff in a pan. How are you? I feel like those are those like they're called funeral potatoes and we can have we have many times there to get together. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:25:16 I don't know why they're called. My wife always called them cheesy potatoes. And then she was looking for a recipe recently and she's like, wait, these are called funeral potatoes. What the heck? Um, but someone submitted as funeral potatoes. So I kept it. It was an Iowa boy.

Starting point is 01:25:29 We call them that, funeral potatoes. Wait, Andrew is going to say something. I was just going to ask if these are, if these are, um, casseroles or hot dishes. Oh, Jesus. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no Scans is said for everything. Just I'll try it. Yeah. But again, you got to keep in mind that. I'm an addict. Castle. I'm not because I got enough pass. And I'm sure the boys stop with the drops.

Starting point is 01:26:12 I'm going to be all freaking jacked up. Castrols are very big in the 70s, and I'm I'm scared by that. So I don't. Harder scared. Yeah, either or. I don't I don't like casserole's are like normal food, not a mixture of stuff that is as Jeff said, stuff that shouldn't go together. Just go together. Mac of a Campbell's label. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:26:38 All right. Prime rib. Oh, prime rib. Prime rib. I know this is a big, this is a big Christmas thing back when I was a meat cutter and sold a lot of prime rib around Christmas time. Didn't sell any of it around Thanksgiving. So I feel like Jeff will come out of here with the whole fabric of society, yada yada. I'm leaving if it's there. This is ridiculous. Where we put ham on. I love it. I feel like we had prime rib. I mean, if we put ham on it, I love it. I feel like we got to put prime rib on it. I love it.

Starting point is 01:27:08 But for turkey or for Thanksgiving? I've never seen a prime rib on a... I'd smash a prime rib, but... I guess it's a Christmas. Yeah, if somebody walks in, oh, what's for Thanksgiving dinner? Oh, I got this beautiful prime rib. I would be ecstatic. You make my show.

Starting point is 01:27:26 Oh, I would. Yes. Oh, yeah. But I'd be kind of thrown for a loop. Where's where's the turkey, dude? I'd eat the shit out of primary. But like with this with this prime rib go is good with all the. That's a great category. I would love to see it. Yeah, yeah, I like that.

Starting point is 01:27:46 That's a good spot for it. I feel like you can put a steak in there, too. Yeah, I think you can put ham there. No, fuck that. No, wrong. Again, I'm sorry for me. Ham ham is an Easter food. Yes, agree. 100% celebrate. Not a Christmas food.

Starting point is 01:28:04 It could be Christmas, but Easter. I'm also saying this and I'm not a huge ham fan, but. There's a there's a joke in there that I'll avoid. Yeah, I don't know. I think prime rib steak, I would love to see it. But what month is it perfectly categorizes both of those meat? Then I think brisket should great on that one too, right? I don't think brisket more Thanksgiving festive than anything else.

Starting point is 01:28:29 Like the other brisket, thanksgiving, someone's Thanksgiving. And I've never seen that. I love brisket. I like every day holiday. Yeah, Saturday. Yeah. All right. Look at us flying through these. Yeah, let's go. All right. Look at us flying through these.

Starting point is 01:28:47 Yeah, let's go. So good. How have we not touched mashed potatoes yet? I don't know. Yeah, I'm leaving if it's not there. I'm leaving. If it's not there, we write to the top. I feel like we had a run of the like I'm leaving if it's not there. So I've been trying to avoid the last written amount. And why is gravy separate?

Starting point is 01:29:04 Because someone because you can put great. I separate? Because you can put gravy separate. Because you can put gravy on. The only way I'll eat turkeys if it's lathered in gravy. So gravy has to be a standalone to add on to other stuff. Gravy is the gravy that holds the whole thing together. Gravy on your stuffing, gravy on your mashed potatoes. Gravy is everywhere. Right.

Starting point is 01:29:19 Put the rolls up there. Yeah, mashed potatoes is. Rolls are going. Yep. I'm going to call it a real. It's all up top. All three. What colors are they?

Starting point is 01:29:28 Maybe not to go back to gravy, but what's what's the preferred gravy color? Light brown. Yeah, it's like turkey color brown. You get that yellow sometimes you get the light brown you get the dark brown. It's light brown. Light brown is good. Yeah. Okay. So what's that? Go ahead. times you get the light brown you get the dark brown. It's a town. It's light brown. Light brown is good. Yeah, okay.

Starting point is 01:29:45 So what's... Go ahead. I was gonna say... No, no, you go ahead. No. So we moved quick there, but mashed potatoes, I wanted to ask, like, is there... Creamy. Lumpy mashed potatoes suck.

Starting point is 01:29:59 Yeah, is like, do we want... Any mashed potato is good. Yeah. Lumpy is not my type. I go... For us, it's whipped. It's got to be nice whipped. Yeah, creamy. I actually run want mashed potatoes? Good. Yeah. Yeah. Lumpy is not my. I go for us. It's whipped. It's got to be nice whipped.

Starting point is 01:30:08 Yeah. I actually I run it through a sieve to get all the lumps out because lumps can go fuck themselves. Think a ricer. Right. That. Yeah. Yeah. I don't mind the lumps. I don't even mind when there's some skin on it sometimes. I don't. I. Different. Yeah, I think I have it.

Starting point is 01:30:23 If it's like if you if you, you know, boil them all up and just a light mash. So it's kind of a chunky thing. I'm cool. But if you call it mashed potatoes, it better be smooth. So you know what I mean? But if you made like a call cannon potatoes or something like that where it's just boiled and then just slightly crushed. I'm okay with that, but not for mashed potatoes. It's got to be smooth. Like at a steakhouse type of thing. I'm going to call out our good friend, Big Lou, Lou Nutter. Him and I have bonded over mashed potatoes and we love it. We both love mashed potatoes. We could swim in a pool of mashed potatoes and gravy. What a thing to bond over. We love it. They are my favorite thing about Thanksgiving,

Starting point is 01:31:14 is mashed potatoes. Because you don't get them all the time. And they're so good. Well, how do we feel about the mashed potato, hungry Jack box stuff? No, I don't know what that is. potato, like Hungry Jack, like box stuff? No, I don't know. We're trying to agree on something. I'm just I'm just just discourse.

Starting point is 01:31:31 Just like what? What is a lot of that? But on Thanksgiving, probably no. No, if you need if you ever need a quick meal at night and a quick side maybe but. Also, I mean, I know that roles are there like we have to put in that category, but I don't want to fill up on a role. I can have bread all the time. Yeah, I think I'm kind of with Jen that roles might be overrated, but you're OK.

Starting point is 01:31:59 I'm not eating the role as the appetizer. I'm eating the role like simultaneously and it's like it's a it's a device to eat more gravy and mashed potatoes at times. Yes. I'm not a percent. fills up. You didn't then you have no room. But the flavor that the it's perfect. You're cleaning up the plate so you can go make your second run for the clean place.

Starting point is 01:32:18 We got to do something with the butter on the table. Yeah. Gotta put it on the damn ropes. Yeah, you got to do something that apparently we're eating something special tonight Keith so I'm gonna need butter for something some other roles Some other buns I see what you put You're the one that offered it Keith don't get all dirty I know It's one of those things where it's like, fuck, did I just say that? My mouth was running faster than my brain.

Starting point is 01:32:50 Something was running. Yeah, yeah. Something was running. What the fuck is this thing that Joey added? What does a fucking tortilla? What did he even read it? Scan some. Tortilla. It's a it's essentially a meat pie.

Starting point is 01:33:04 It's it's mince meat and and it's it's an Acadian thing. It is. Does it sweet, so it's not sweet, then it's no, it's savory, it's savory. So when you take something like all these sweet pies, get rid of all the sweet shit and it's filled with meat. That's perfect. I could eat that. Yeah, I could. I could try that. But it's not really. I That's perfect. I could eat that. Yeah, I could, I could try that.

Starting point is 01:33:25 But it's not really, I would try it. Is it festive though? Or like, no, an actual thing. So Joey, Joe, Joey said it was I I've never seen it. Okay. Um, it's, it's more from down this region, the Acadia region, but it's, um, like we have a version of it on Christmas morning. Lydia makes it, uh, Mrs. Scantz. It was, she's another East coaster and they used to have it when she was growing up. And for it's a treat. It's friggin awesome. So, but yeah, for Thanksgiving, not tied to Thanksgiving.

Starting point is 01:33:57 So I think it deserves a wrong again, Joey. But I will tell you, throw it in the I'd eat it if if it was I had the opportunity because you would. Well, it's frigging good. You mean, I would love to see it. But no one is the only one that's here. Maybe we'll put it in. I'll try that because I think we're

Starting point is 01:34:20 all intrigued by every, every, every time we've tried to create now, I'll try it. Tear, it's just turned into something else. I don't know. We still aren't. Right. I'm more interested.

Starting point is 01:34:33 Just curious. We're all intrigued by that more so than fucking Tiger meat. No, it's a pie filled with meat. What is wrong with curious chicken pot pie? So it's like a it's like a no, no, no vegetables, no gravy. It is what? But the pastry is like a chicken pot pie. Yeah, yeah, it's a normal, normal

Starting point is 01:34:53 pie crust like a pie crust. Yeah. Filled with meat. I love chicken pot pie. Yeah, but you don't have that gravy is kind of consistency out of it there. So I'm glad I'm good. I'm glad you were here for that, because yeah, we would have been lost. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:35:15 There's a reason here has to work on on Friday after. Thanksgiving, I'm curious. I do. Why? My job is not closed. It's a good day. I'm using my time off before Thanksgiving to get ready to host. Then I have to like try to get our kids off to the child care and all that because there's no school or nothing. So, but will I be doing any work? Absolutely not.

Starting point is 01:35:42 But will I be doing any work? Absolutely not. I was finding my scans about it early because this is on a Monday, because they say it gets a long weekend. I'm like, what? I get Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday off. Or just. Yeah, it's crazy. The kids have a half day on Tuesday and off on Wednesday and Friday. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:36:02 They keep stretching it out. Thursday. To me, it out. And Thursday. To me, it's odd when you get a holiday in the middle of the week. Yeah. It's a weird one. Strange. But I like it because then you just like, oh, I'll just take the rest of the week off. I'm taking the whole week off there.

Starting point is 01:36:18 There you go. Yeah, we are company supports like retail point of sale systems. So Friday's a quiet. Yeah. I mean, we were in a weird state right now. We're not working this Friday, but, uh, like two years ago around when I started, I was like, Oh, I have to work on Friday. Yeah, I guess that makes sense.

Starting point is 01:36:45 And then just didn't have any issues all like there was just no chatter anywhere. And I was like, well, that was uneventful. All right. Well, glad I was here. Like, just like if there was a need, and I was like, all right, I'm ready. And I was just like, when they're going to go down, really, we would like to like have some urgency or something here today, but that was that one of the days you didn't go home at one o'clock because you can tell. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:37:10 Yeah. Yeah. Easy. Easy. He's sauciness. Easy. Keith. Keith getting on the whole night and I say one thing or you offered us your ass

Starting point is 01:37:23 to eat responded Yeah. Yeah. You responded in kind. And it was banter. I know, I know. I came at you guys and you guys responded in the exact same way. How dare you? How dare you be fair? I'm being oppressed.

Starting point is 01:37:46 This is the true Midwest staple, the Scotch Roo. I was giving thing. It isn't. No. Why would you make a regular treat like that on a special day? I don't know. Because you love your family and it's fantastic. They have pumpkin scott roos or is that on a special day. I don't know because you love your family and it's fantastic. They have pumpkin scotrus or is that not a thing? Pumpkin I've never had that. I've only had it.

Starting point is 01:38:12 I've had them twice the last two literally Beezys and they were they were okay. I only had them at the yeah, I had them only at Tanner's. That was the first time I had ever had them and I'm sorry. I'm not really understanding what we're talking about. Chocolate covered Rice Krispie treat kind of. Yeah, peanut butter chocolate.

Starting point is 01:38:30 Is it like peanut butter? Okay. Yeah, peanut butter, yeah. Rice Krispies. They're delicious. They're just not. I think it belongs, what month is it? Yes, thank you.

Starting point is 01:38:41 What a lineup. It's like prime rib, steak, and scotcharoos. You know how you got that after meal dessert table and there's the pies there and like the highlight desserts. And then there's like a table next to it with like, you know, some cookies and some stuff like that. Yes, yes. I'll be honest, I would take scotcharoos

Starting point is 01:39:01 over most of those pies. But I'm, I screw the fabric of society in my opinion. You can't be trusted. You eat nothing but peanut butter and pepperoni. That was many, many years ago. You're not wrong. You're not wrong. All right. We have to address this. I feel like it's essential for a Massenomics adjacent podcast. LaCroix, where do we put it? Love it. I won't leave if it's not there, but it's better than okay. I'd love to have a Actually, no. LaCroix sucks, but sparkling water in general.

Starting point is 01:39:40 I took it to the best version of sparkling water, which to me would be one of the Waterlose as of late, but La Croix, I would drink water, diet Coke over La Croix most days. We could consider it sparkling water. Okay, then I love it. I'd love to see that at a Thanksgiving.

Starting point is 01:39:56 I'd be very excited. I'd say. But I'm bringing my own typically to play. Like I'll bring my own next week to my house. Okay, so question there, are you just bringing a single can? Well, one for Stephanie too, probably. Wow, what a gentleman.

Starting point is 01:40:10 We historically will bring our own diet coke because they either drink, they don't drink diet coke there, they either have like regular soda or water. So like, I'm going to drink soda. The two solo LaCroix cans is great. The two solo LaCroix cans is great. Yeah, the best is running around town with a LaCroix in a koozie and that just feels like you're doing something illegal and I love it. It does.

Starting point is 01:40:34 I think so. I showed up to, I forget what event at the church with the LaCroix in a koozie and I had someone come over to me like, are you okay, dude? And I was like, oh, this is just sparkling water. It's just, it's all good. We're just partying. Why, why does it say liquid death? I'm confused. Yeah. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:40:53 It's me at work with, uh, with Tansamonster and my koozie. Yeah. I play the mind games. I've, uh, I worked with a medical officer once and within seconds of meeting me, she started chirping me about drinking. You shouldn't drink that. I'm like, maybe you should ask me how many I drink or mind your own business or whatever. So I made it a habit. I kept the can of Monster and I would fill it up throughout the day and make sure she could see me just like down in cans of it. It was just water. But yeah, she had a hemorrhage one day. She's like, how many of those do you have? And I'm like, nothing crazy.

Starting point is 01:41:27 I said, you know, moderation. So like 10, 12 about that. And yeah, she never knew. It started looking like Drew Nickens. Um, what, where are we going to put LaCroix? I don't drink. Namaste, but how do you screw up Jello? But in the season of giving, I'll let Keith and you guys have it. Do you think it just it belongs in and it's OK? I'm OK. I'm fine with it's OK.

Starting point is 01:42:03 Also, you'd be glad if it was there. If it wasn't, you'd be fine. I don't expect it. I tell you what, if it's not there, I'm drinking a lot more beer. I can't say the only place I've ever been to that actually that I think I've gone to that actually had sparkling water, like on ice ready to go was probably Tanner's backyard. I don't think of it. I don't think I can't other than maybe my like I have it at my house, obviously. But like I don't think I've gone to like a friend's house or family's members. And there's been anything other than like beer, water, like soda.

Starting point is 01:42:34 Oh, we first we first had shindigs where people have brought cases. It's great. I love it. All right, we've all we were down to one, two, three, one, two, three, four, five, five, four. You know what that means. Wow. We're in our final five stage. Chicken bake, the other masonomic staple that remains.

Starting point is 01:43:01 Jen? They're fine, but no, no. Can we put it with? Can we put it with the pumpkin roll? Or yes. Or what month is it? Yeah. One of those. I like it. The chicken bake is just a chicken pumpkin roll when you really think about it. That's true. With that logic, I'll agree to put it there because Because it is the same. This picture is almost identical. So yeah, I mean, you can't even. The tubes.

Starting point is 01:43:31 Cream cheese, Caesar dressing, it's the same thing. Yeah. When you boil it down. I trust the macros of the pumpkin roll more than I do the macros of the chicken bacon. Tubes. Got it. I can't vote. We don't have them up here but two two christmas ago when mrs

Starting point is 01:43:48 gants was away i smoked uh turkey for uh for our christmas i made a chicken bake out of the christmas dinner i had smoked turkey i had a little mashed potato, a little cranberry, a little bit of Brussels sprouts. I had sauteed Brussels sprouts. It was fucking primo. I think it's really hard to call that a chicken bake given that I didn't hear you say the word chicken at all. Don't let it slide. It's the vehicle.

Starting point is 01:44:21 We'll call it the vehicle. Well, yeah, what did you wrap it in? Pizza dough. OK. OK, I made my own chicken bake out of the the holiday dinner. He said that sounds good, but I did not put turkey to be really good name for that. You wouldn't put what? Turkey Brussels sprouts. Oh, yeah, I do like Brussels sprouts sauteed.

Starting point is 01:44:42 I would not put that in that. Oh, it was. Wow. Everything that's on the plate for the meal was in the. In the chicken bake, this is just the difference of opinion. I am passing the Brussels sprouts every time. All right, it's next on the list. Brussels sprouts. You changed it to you and Mac, I know it.

Starting point is 01:45:01 Now make them for you. Yeah, I'm sure Scantz makes a good one. I don't trust that I'm going to get a decent Brussels Sprite at someone's house, so I will pass as well. Oh, oh, no. They're better than the glazed veggies. We should really be thinking about how this is the best one we've ever had. All of a sudden, it's something Jeff doesn't like.

Starting point is 01:45:19 Well, the worst one I've ever had. I didn't say that. I didn't I didn't say that. Good one. Everything else will think about the best one you've ever had. I didn't say that. I didn't say that one. Everything else will think about the best one you've ever had. I don't know. Pull the tape. I didn't say that. Look at all the great food we have on there. Like out of all these other options and not taking the broth.

Starting point is 01:45:34 Yeah, I'll take brother out over your green bring. Do a good Brussels sprout bacon and I agree that I could skip it, but we put glazed carrots up there. And these are things that we can have all the time. That's true. You know, Brussels sprouts all the time. We do have Brussels sprouts all the time. All right. Where are we putting it?

Starting point is 01:45:55 If they're going to be good, if they're going to be cooked in some bacon and some butter and I'm going to enjoy them, then then they're OK. Maybe even. But I but I just I can pass. I can pass the Thanksgiving because it's like a sweet potato. Are we going to? I think it's OK. I think Jen just said

Starting point is 01:46:12 is like a sweet potato. Then I don't know. I guess we potato pie and Brussels sprouts on the same. In honor of scans is a turkey roll. You know that I think we should go with. It's OK. Well.

Starting point is 01:46:25 We'll put a couple on our plate like the glazed carrots. So Jeff, it's actually a vegetable like and not like married with sides of carrots. Well, yeah, true. Well, the glazed veggies. Yeah. It's more vegetable than the green bean casserole. I can just going to punch you right in your that ass you offered. Oh, deep bad. Yeah, we're sending that offer. That's off the table. You already said it.

Starting point is 01:46:57 Man, I was really looking forward to that. Dad got it. I was just getting rid of the curb. Matt Keith, are you sure? You better not. I can't wait to hang up with us and go talk to my husband. You're like, oh, we just talked about eating Keith's ass the whole time. How am I how am I to edit a picture in unless I have one? I don't have a picture of that. How would I edit one in?

Starting point is 01:47:22 Any we need a picture. Yeah, Keith. All right. Turn around. Let's screenshot it. OK, Stephanie, I know this is going to sound weird, but can you get us a picture? Nathan needs it for the thumbnail. It's fine. I promise. Thumbnail. Yeah. Ass nail. Oh, geez.

Starting point is 01:47:43 All right. And Mac and cheese. Is Mac and cheese festive, like Thanksgiving? You fest? It was on the. No, I get it. But like, do you guys have Mac and cheese regularly? Or is it the but what month is it? Because I don't know. Like, I say what month is it? That this is a special Mac and cheese with.

Starting point is 01:48:04 That's right. On top. It's not the box. Yeah, is a special mac and cheese with breadcrumbs and stuff on top. It's not the box. Yeah, like a big craft. Yeah. Which I'm personally not making fancy mac and cheese every month. It's a special occasion type thing, but I also could totally pass

Starting point is 01:48:20 because I'm I'm diving in that mash potato bowl. Yeah, I feel like I'll choose anything over a mac and cheese. But not that not there's any wrong with a mac and cheese, but it's not a Thanksgiving thing. Are we going to pass? We won't even look at it. Or do we want to say it's just not that it's just not Thanksgiving material?

Starting point is 01:48:38 Yeah, maybe put it in the month because I think it's better than a lot of the stuff below it. Yeah, for sure. General, but it's not thanks. Can we make a new category? There's no. Yeah, we can. We definitely can. What do we want to make? Yeah, I'm down to make another category. We're going to scroll up by Jews over pizza. Yeah, only if it's fancy with breadcrumbs.

Starting point is 01:49:02 Better than. Well, I figure saying you could suck my dick was more vulgar, so I tried to go slightly less vulgar. And I didn't know that one turned around and bit me in the ass. Why not? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no Oh, fuck you guys. We're not doing you're doing this. We're not doing this. Yeah. Imagine if you're imagine if your microphone was still switched off. I generally don't. I guess I'm so happy we started recording at seven o'clock.

Starting point is 01:49:35 That's it's only like nine o'clock. We've been going for two hours. Oh, all right. We've got we have we have two items left. On our list, we have the relish tray. The relish tray. I feel like we need big Jeff to commentate on this. I have all kinds of dialogue on that one.

Starting point is 01:49:54 He just he's moving locations, though. He peed. I think he is peeing. He took his phone with him. Joey doesn't like people do that. But you can't hurt him. Huh you know, I heard a straight. Huh? Why will I have dialogue on the relish? I don't know.

Starting point is 01:50:09 Is something about a fabric of society, yada, yada, America will fall. Well, I don't know. I don't I don't want to do it. I really straight. Then I guess I'm not even like what's on the table when you get there, because if I I got to get there and I got to start eating some yeah, there's no tail shrimp, the cocktail just an appetizer. But what's on the table when you get there? Because if I got to get there and I got to start eating something. Yeah, there has cocktail shrimp.

Starting point is 01:50:28 The cocktail shrimp is on the table when they get there. Well, then we better put it in the cocktail shrimp category. So it's just a veggie tray, right? I think so, yeah. Yeah, basically. Yeah, that's it. I'll eat it because it's the only food out right now. It could be a potential cat again

Starting point is 01:50:46 Yes, I would eat it while I'm asking how much longer. Yes Yes, come on get there Keith you're almost there Are we gonna go back and look at everything item by item to see what we want to rearrange after this or if everything locked? I think it's locked in. There's no going back now. We know you got to get to bed. Oh no, I'm fine.

Starting point is 01:51:15 No, I was confident how awesome this is that it's I did tell Stephanie nine 30. So I'll try to hold her. I'll eat it while I ask how much time everything else has. We good with that? I'm good with that. That's a good category. Okay. Now I feel like the cocktail shrimp

Starting point is 01:51:31 gotta have to go in that category. Should we put the, do we? No. We're not going back. Do we move the cocktail shrimp? Okay, fine. Okay, I guess yeah. That's fine, all right.

Starting point is 01:51:40 I would put it in that one, but that's. Devil eggs can go in there too. No, devil eggs are amazing. We moved it from I love it in that one, but that's devil eggs can go in there, too. No, they're all eggs are a man. We moved it from I love it to I'll. Geez, what a downgrade. No, no, I love it, though. But you'll eat it while you ask. I see. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:51:56 Yeah. How long an hour? Seven more. I would say I would put deviled eggs on my plate with a full meal, though. Yeah. Not put like some celery on my plate. Well, you don't put it on a plate. You just walk by and eat it. I'm just saying. Scans trying to say the deviled eggs.

Starting point is 01:52:10 Scans comparing deviled eggs to a relish tray to me is the most atrocious thing to say all night. The relish tray is really like a New York pumpkin pie. And that's what I've always said. You just walk by, you pick it up with your hand and you eat it. Big Jess, nice. Good harken. She said it earlier and everybody missed it. But yeah, it's just a New York pumpkin pie

Starting point is 01:52:36 when you think about it. All right, the last one that survived the list. I think this is an important thing to think about, getting takeout. This might be me next weekend or next week. What do we think? What do we think about? Can we marry? So I've gotten takeout for Thanksgiving before, but I've also gone out to family,

Starting point is 01:52:58 I've gone out to buffets and shit. Where at one point when my family, it was like 40 of us, and my grandparents were like, my grandparents were that elderly age, were like, they point when my family, you know, it was like 40 of us and like my grandparents were like, we, you know, my grandparents were like that elderly age or like they're not cooking anymore, but like the next generation wasn't ready to take over yet. So we had like two years, I think we went to like a huge steak house for Thanksgiving

Starting point is 01:53:13 and it was fucking packed. So like, I don't know if we should add that as an additional or group it with getting takeout. Cause I would say that's, it's a valid option. If you have such a huge family and you need to go do a meal, but no one's cooking. Yeah. But I also think it depends on if you say getting takeout, like you're getting

Starting point is 01:53:30 food from, you know, like a really like good restaurant and you're getting all the Thanksgiving stuff or something really good, then sure. But if, if I, if I show up and it's taco John's or something like, no, I guess to me, takeout doesn't include going to sit down in a restaurant. That's takeout. Is that taco John's or. Well, no, I, I was just saying like, I have experience going out to a restaurant and Thanksgiving dinner on Thanksgiving multiple times.

Starting point is 01:54:01 You're swapping out the pain of the ass factor of all the prep and the cleanup afterwards. That's nothing wrong with that as a plan, that's for sure. So if someone's a Thanksgiving dinner, you show up. Someone has a catering tray of Chick-fil-A nuggets sitting out. That's so hard. I'm getting like 10 of those and putting them on my plate. Yeah, while you ask how long much time everything else is gonna take. Yeah, maybe it should go in that category. Yeah, we can put it there.

Starting point is 01:54:38 The relish tray and the tray of Chick-fil-A nuggets potentially. The French fries, the Crave Case from White Castle, all of it is to tide you over. I have eaten like Keith said, but I do it sometimes for Easter. Yeah, we do it for Easter. Yes. But if I can get off the macros for just a tiny bit,

Starting point is 01:55:05 then I'm not doing takeout on the holidays If I can get off the macros for just a tiny bit, then I'm not doing takeout on the holidays when people are willing to cook. There we have it. Oh, we lost big Jeff. Oh wait, no, who did we lose? Dan. Oh wait, no, he just moved to the other side. Yeah, same on mine.

Starting point is 01:55:23 I was like, where did he go? Sorry, I dropped off there. I dropped off. Ah, it's all right. We'll keep you around. All right, well, that concludes our list. Is there anything we missed? Anything important we need to cover here?

Starting point is 01:55:37 Fabrics of society that we need to mend? Apple pie, yeah, okay. We're going to be really full. We would always have cream spinach, but I don't know. Oh dear. Pass. I like it, but it's just something we would always have. Andrew, we have a joke in my house.

Starting point is 01:55:57 Sean made us cream spinach, because he was craving it. I actually do like it as well. However, he made it one time, and we still years later talk about how bad his cream was. I was trying to be nice and eat it, but I'm over there like gagging. Like, yeah, no. I'm going to tell him that you brought it up. Lovingly brought it up.

Starting point is 01:56:23 All right, Apple pie. We've got it. We can place it. No, thanks. Well, let's compare what's already on the table. So those sweet potato pies and it's OK. And then pumpkin and pecan are in the top tier. So it doesn't fall between those two. It's definitely not. It's definitely not below pump sweet potato. But is it on the same page as pumpkin and pecan or just right below? So does it fall between those two? It's definitely not below sweet potato, but is it on the same page as pumpkin and pecan,

Starting point is 01:56:48 or just right below? I'd first say it. I would put it that I love it. I don't, it's not topped here. I wouldn't pick apple pie over a pumpkin pie. It's gotta be olive mode too. I think pumpkin pie, or apple pie, if you try to eat that in just your hand,

Starting point is 01:57:04 you'd have a bad time. Right. So really when we're thinking about rating pies we need to consider the handability of the pie. The portability. For me that's either what month is it or it's like that's okay because. Sure. Wait what month would be better? I don't know month for me, but I'm trying to be good.

Starting point is 01:57:29 You're talking about apples, like it's a fall harvest. Like that is November. I am not a fan of apple pie. No, I'm not a fan of fruit pie. Enjoy your cream spinach in the corner. I'm not a fan of... It is the one good fruit pie, I'd say. I don't like it.

Starting point is 01:57:46 Chris, I would do a Chris. Only because it's only because it's like the green beans, because I just want the top. Yeah. It's a casserole. Welcome to the casserole. Yeah. Everything is. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:58:02 All right. We can we'll sneak up pie where we put it it though we gonna you believe it there I like it I love it. Yeah, so good. I mean who doesn't like an apple pie. It's American speaking of fabric of society, right Jeff Yeah, I'm okay All right And in Jenna and I's hearts it'll just be apple crisp, but that's fine the been great. Um, little ice cream in a coffee mug feel all cute. You can snuggle up in some PJs. I think we should circle back. I just want to compromise with Dutch apple pie.

Starting point is 01:58:51 Isn't that basically a giant apple crush? What is that? What'd you say, Jeff? A Dutch apple pie. Cause then you get the bottom crust too. Right. Yeah. The crumble on top. Yeah. You don't have the criss right. Yeah, the crumble on top. Yeah, you don't have the crisscross top. You got the frivolous. Oh, I didn't know this was a thing.

Starting point is 01:59:11 I think Big Ender and I could buy into. I would go. I'd go for that. That sounds wow. Thanks, Big Jeff. I got a I got a Talking point we can probably go around rob it on real quick So the debate between the dark meat and the light in the light me Maybe what's your ratio on your plate is are you going all dark you going all white you going 50 50 75 25? What's everyone going with?

Starting point is 01:59:48 You can't let it go. No, I'm sure I don't I don't care. I'm just curious. He may be getting curious. He may be leaning into it. Don't scare him away. Yeah. I want to hear what other people think. Well, he's open to the idea. All dark. And as my son so lovingly calls it, brown meat. And we've never corrected him because there's white meat and there's brown meat. So he's also a brown meat. I think it like, it depends on like how dry like the moisture level. Like if it's really dry,

Starting point is 02:00:18 I'm not interested in the white meat. But if it's like cooked the right way, I would probably prefer white meat then, you know? I feel like white meat's the meat you take home. So tomorrow when you're back on track, you can put it in your rice and veggies. I thought you were doing a little FMK there, the way you set that up. Oh, jeez. I'm going majority dark meat. the the

Starting point is 02:00:50 the the the the the the end I think. It used to be just exclusively dark meat but I mean I've thrown gravy all over that shit. Here's one. So,

Starting point is 02:01:10 Whoop, go ahead. No, I was gonna say Jen talked about the taking the white meat home. So we've got a tradition in our house that the day following is hot turkey sandwiches. If we have, I don't know, I don't know if there's any of that, but it's, it's a very traditionalish down in the way here. That's what I was going to bring up earlier, Jeff. So you talked about the color of your gravy. I went out to get a hot turkey sandwich and they put brown gravy on it. And I said, this is, this is unacceptable.

Starting point is 02:01:44 This is the stupidest thing ever it has to be yellow or like a light color yeah what were they thinking no I like to put the cranberry sauce on the sandwich too oh yeah 100% yep and the fries a little bit a little bit of mozzarella or if you get cheese curds. Would you say fries? You say for the day after day after. But like French fries. Yep. Where do you get those from?

Starting point is 02:02:14 You just make those. Just throw them on. Reconstruct the mashed potatoes. Yeah. Just reform them. OK. From the air fryer. Do you think your mashed potatoes? Yeah. Yeah, you're mashed potatoes. Yeah, I guess we can we can close on just what is everyone like like scan says already said is his his his hot turkey

Starting point is 02:02:30 sandwich. What's everyone else eating the next couple days? Like what what is their go to they hope they can take some home or how they're preparing it the next day or does anyone actually eat any leftovers cold because I'm I'm a big cold leftover guy. I don't think anybody else is though. Anybody? I'm thinking at all. I'm making plates cold leftover guy. I don't think anybody else is though. Anybody? I'm thinking at all. I'm making plates for as many days as plates will last. Because they're just like the full meal. There's no like- A full meal. Yeah, absolutely.

Starting point is 02:02:54 Full meal. Yep. I do try to slim it down. I try to limit my macro variants. So I come back to, I'll still do the mashed potatoes though, there until they're gone. Nah, I'm, I'm to be honest, honestly, Mary, I'm not trying to take anything home. I mean, I'll take Turkey home for the convenience of having an extra protein to mix in with, you know, meal prep kind of stuff. That pernay and peanut butter?

Starting point is 02:03:27 Yeah. What about the pumpkin roll? Yeah. Well, dude, if there's a pumpkin roll, I've already eaten the entire thing while I was there. It's coming home inside of my stomach. Does anybody else do that though? I'll eat all day until I'm so miserable and then I'll be like, And then I'll be like, I'll be fine.

Starting point is 02:03:45 I'll be back. I'll be back tomorrow. I just claim that I'm fueling for the next workout. That's it. Yeah, you got to store it up. Yep. You're prepping. 100%.

Starting point is 02:03:57 I would take turkey and put it into a turkey pot pie. That would be my preferred. Cause then I can make that pie and then freeze it and then cook it whenever another time. It's a good call. Smart. All right. I think we got a list, ladies and gentlemen. I think we can bring it in for a landing.

Starting point is 02:04:18 We got a tiered list here. I'll just kind of... You'll do a recap? Yeah, I'll glaze through it real quick for the audio listeners. All right. And I'm leaving. If it's not there, we've got cornbread stuffing or just stuffing that we stuffed in a bird and then unstuffed to put in our mouths and stuff it in our mouths. We also have dressing, turkey, pumpkin pie, pecan pie, mashed potatoes, gravy, and rolls. We might also just label this category the fabric of society for Jeff. In the I love it category, we have deviled eggs, corn pudding, ham and apple pie.

Starting point is 02:05:02 In the I would love to see it, but what month is it? We have prime rib steak brisket, Scotcher's, mac and cheese. In our sponsored tier, the It's Okay podcast sponsored by the Okay podcast, we have. It's okay. It's okay. It's okay. We have a cocktail shrimp, sweet potato pie, glazed veggies, hopefully of the orange capacity, green bean casserole, funeral potatoes, sparkling water, and fried Brussels sprouts.

Starting point is 02:05:36 And you know what that means. It's the I'll try it for a dollar category, where we have this pie thing that I can't pronounce. Scantz? Tortier. Yeah, that thing, the tortillas that aren't Norwegian. In our next category, which is, wait, there is bourbon? I'll try that.

Starting point is 02:05:58 We have bourbon sweet potatoes. In our tubes category, we have pumpkin rolls and chicken bake. Uh. In our tubes category, we have pumpkin rolls and chicken bake. Thank you, Andrew, for that one. In the how do you screw up Jell-O, we have a Jell-O mold and cranberry sauce. I'll eat it while I ask how much time everything else has. We have the relish tray and getting takeout. We will pass on both the Norwegian and chicken parm.

Starting point is 02:06:31 Sorry, whoever, whatever Norwegian followers submitted that. I apologize for that.
