It's Thanksgiving, and Charlie around's like, yep, whatever. Like, there's just so much hands in our pockets like, well, because it's like you're, you're trying desperately to make up significance of Thanksgiving without like the bullshit American, like, fairy tale of like, then the pilgrims got together with the Native Americans and had a pleasant peaceful meal. There is another Charlie Brown special where they do that. Oh, yeah, it's terrible. The fucking Mayflower Charlie Brown or whatever the fuck it's called. Well, yeah, because like that's the catch 22 really is like,

how do you make a Thanksgiving special and not fucking do something to at least reflect that? But also I would say I would just prefer the Garfield thing where you go to fucking you go and see the family. But that's the hang up with this shit though, dude, is like, how do you execute that in this Peanuts, non-adult world? Right. Perky. Do it like Brendan Stimpy

where it's just no, you just see the shoes, maybe. I don't know. Oh. But it's like, I agree with you. Do it on the kids table maybe, you know? Yeah, that even would do it. That's a smart move.

Because I mean, like you're adapting a three strip comic strip, a three panel comic strip where they don't show adults. And, like, for the cartoons, they have this smart thing where it's like, oh, we don't know what adults look like in the peanuts thing. So when you hear them, it's like a nonsense thing. Yeah. But you never see them. But it just turns into this. Didn't Muppet babies do this too?

Am I drunk right now? No, well, yes. But you saw Nanny's legs. Yeah. But you heard her clear. You see your feet. Sorry. Oh, my God.

She's wearing those green and white socks. It's a giant Muppet. But Nanny smartly locks them in a room. And she puts that little cane. Remember that Twilight Zone episode where to keep the devil inside, you have to put that cane over the door? Oh, sure. That's what keeping all those fucking monsters.

An asteroid land and all these fucking creatures came out. And this woman who calls herself Nanny is like, oh, my God, they're babies. I can't let the government kill them. Right. So she has to, like, keep them inside. Bad move. You can always tell. Good move because the government would have killed her, too, to cover it up.

Absolutely. So that's what makes sense. They're going to burn the whole house down. I would still suffocate those babies, though. But just to get, you know, you don't want the, you don't want the government to find out and come and kill you. No, absolutely not. At the time, lies cheap. Lies very, very cheap.

It's true. Yeah, just fucking, all the frog people and bearmen go down the drain. Go down the drain. Um, no, but that was those you could tell Nanny was about to fucking freak out whenever they would get out into the hallway. No, no. And she'd get and she'd get, get, get, get back. Do you think she had company or something? Like, what was going on?

You can't let him out of the nursery. He's just paid a visit just to see what's going on? Dude, yeah, it was cigarette smoking man in Mulder's dad and they just rolled up to check in on the situation. Nanny, is everything contained? Nanny, we noticed that you got a lot of baby food last week. You don't have any babies. You don't have any babies.

Thank you.
