00:00:49
Speaker
That was a chicken. You did a chicken. You did a chicken. I'm a turkey. You started off the Thanksgiving special doing a chicken impersonation, which i can go into because I have a rant about chickens. Okay. All right. We'll save that for later, Robert. Yeah, let's not bring anger.
Personalities & New York Life
00:01:07
Speaker
you know what I love? Why am I here? are yeah I love how our logo of us, it's you screaming and me kind of like having a serious discussion. But I feel like it's the opposite. i'm the more I feel like I get angry. Really?
00:01:21
Speaker
You know, quote ah quote unquote angry. i feel like I rant more. Really? don't know. I feel like I'm easily irritated. Yeah, actually, maybe we're just both from living in a New York for 20 years. I'm just easily irritated.
00:01:34
Speaker
but Yeah, maybe you're living in big cities. Yeah. But at least New Yorkers are funny. We try. About it. We try. Like, i we've talked about this before. I feel like New Yorkers are just funny. There's so there's always like a, bo like, by to default, obviously some are funnier than others. Sure. I feel like there's a bottom, like, at least you're a little bit funny. I don't know.
00:01:56
Speaker
i can't imagine a ah New Yorker being funny. No, they exist. It's it's it's it's weird, but they when you meet one, you're like, really? you um Yeah, why do you live here? ah But this is the Thanksgiving special! Yay! Insert Thanksgiving sound effects. yeah um And my name is Robert Dunn, and with me is... Ron Prendamano.
00:02:21
Speaker
And today is November 21st, but we are thanking you for listening. That's what I'm thankful for. Yeah. Because that's when it so because we're going be talking about what we're thankful for, what we're not
Thanksgiving Travel Woes
00:02:33
Speaker
thankful for. Some movies, some stuff about weird love and AI. Yeah. which is that's That's what love needed. Computers. um That's the thing that was missing. Think about it.
00:02:45
Speaker
Yeah, kind of did. That's all. um But ah yeah, so we have a lot to talk about that is Thanksgiving related. So we hope that you are on, you know, we hope that you are going to have safe travels. We hope maybe you're even listening to this on a plane your way to Florida. yeah um Have you ever flown? Have I ever flown?
00:03:08
Speaker
No, no. I just I just work for an airline as a flight attendant. I've never flown before my life. No. You're on one of those land planes. I am one of those land planes, They drive on the ground. Actually, it's kind of funny. I actually don't like flying.
00:03:20
Speaker
Even though i do it for a living, I don't like it. Yeah. Do you get anxiety anymore at takeoff? Because I still do. I still get, like, anxiety. I will say this.
00:03:32
Speaker
um I don't, but recently I kind of have with the... um Now that that's kind of, you know, calmed down the air traffic controller issue, I've definitely been a little more concerned about takeoff.
00:03:45
Speaker
Because shit can happen. I mean, you know. Right. Otherwise, no. Not really. Okay. um I know they say, like, landing is, quote unquote, the most dangerous part. But landing, I'm never nervous because I'm like, at least I'm getting closer to the ground. So takeoff and landing are the two most um dangerous parts of flight.
00:04:07
Speaker
Yeah. ah You know, landing, the takeoff, you're being cleared to, you know, make sure you have a you know clear way to take off. There's nothing coming at you, nothing near you, you know, completely clear. That's what air traffic control is for. And landing, I mean, you ah you know, I've had some rough landings with pilots and it, it hurts, especially on the smaller planes. You're going feel it a lot more. Right.
00:04:27
Speaker
Yeah. But,
Gratitude & Support
00:04:28
Speaker
you know, that's why I'm nervous to fly. Like, I mean, if I ever had the opportunity, if everybody's why i'm nervous to fly think of it like this, though, whether you hit the ground hard or whether it they coast nicely, if you are walking away safely from that, it is a good landing.
00:04:42
Speaker
Yep, exactly. That's so I always think of it like he was like. My buddy told me um he was in a landing where the the wind wasn't calm yet from the previous landing. Oh, OK. And so ah the the plane had to land and then immediately take off again. and he was like, yeah, Robert, you would not have liked that. Yeah, that's always kind of fun when they have to like aboard a board of landing or something like that. It's Yeah. Everyone's like, what's going on? What's going on? i'm like, Oh, I got to try again, I guess. I mean, you know, you go to like, i don't know, the Dominican Republic or something, who or one of those smaller or smaller countries. Well, it's really a small country, but you know, so something where there, there might be something on the runway, you know, maybe an animal is on the runway. So, you know, you, you turn around and take off. you i mean, I'd take, right all right you know, you abort the landing, you circle around, you try again.
00:05:32
Speaker
Yeah, it's not that big of a deal. It happens. It's not not ideal for anybody because you want to you know be done. But it happens. Yeah. Well, I'm thankful for safe landings because, um I mean, that's what we're talking about today is thanks. Thanks. And um to start it off, this is um something that should I start? Let's say, let you know what?
00:05:54
Speaker
Let's do this first. Let's say what we're thankful for. And then I'm going to be a hypocrite and say why I hate that I asked that question. Okay, that's fine. You want to go first? You want me to go first? Um, I mean, I'll go first. Yeah, you go. I feel like it's going to sound really cheesy, but I'm going to say it.
00:06:14
Speaker
i am thin i' am thankful for cheese. ah Yes, I am thankful for my wife. I'm going to I'm going to I'm going to say i know it's cheesy as fuck, but, ah you know, I'm very grateful for her. She puts up a lot with me. I mean, I i kicked her out of the bedroom today. But no, I'm recording. Go get out.
00:06:29
Speaker
I know I felt the same way with my girlfriend. We to record, I felt really bad at I had to like rush her out into the rain. It was. Yeah, I felt terrible.
00:06:40
Speaker
You know, they deal with that. She was perfectly like, OK, bye. we have they're They're both like, you know what? They're running a podcast and that's very important. That we don't get paid or have any sponsors yet. Yeah, so that's very important.
00:06:53
Speaker
I have to sacrifice guys get ni out of here have to sacrifice my sleep so you can do that. Absolutely. right Thanks, sweetheart. But I am thankful for my wife. Absolutely. yeah What about you? What do you think? um Well, ah man, now I feel like I have to be more heartfelt. No, you don't. um now Okay, I wrote... Okay, I have a serious one and a silly one. Serious one is um I currently...
00:07:19
Speaker
You know, I think we enjoy our day jobs to an extent. I ah started ah working and I'm working a lot, which has been hard with our scheduling. So thank you for your patience. But essentially, without going into too much detail, my job almost feels like I'm just on a podcast all day, which I love. That sounds awful. stuff So I feel so bad for you I know.
00:07:42
Speaker
I hate doing podcasts. It's like this thing that like, oh, it irritates me. So annoying. um So to get to get paid to essentially be on a podcast all day, it's like I go into work and I'm like, oh, I'm i I'm going to get on a mic.
00:07:58
Speaker
I'm going to be silly and I'm going to go home and then hopefully there'll be enough money to pay my bills. That's so that's what I'm thankful. That's good. That's a good thing. Yeah, I'm obviously skipping over a ton of details and what the job actually entails. I mean, my job my job is fun for the most part.
00:08:14
Speaker
I get on a plane. you know If I know the crew members I'm working with, it's like, yay. That's awesome. We're go going to have a great layover. We're going wonderful time. And yeah, and I probably won't see you again for six years.
00:08:25
Speaker
But that's really how it happens. it is different people most times. Excuse me? it is different people yeah i mean you don't usually know who you're working with uh like i get on planes and i don't know anybody nobody knows me nobody nobody knows that's that's just how the industry works not to uh uh like so there was a show that i worked on i'll say uh did you see the rehearsal season i did not no OK, that that goes into. So if you haven't seen the rehearsal season two, I worked on that the whole season. OK, with Nathan Fielder, who is awesome.
00:09:02
Speaker
And it was about um it was about the relationship between a pilot and a co-pilot and how there basically is
Aviators & AI Discussions
00:09:11
Speaker
none. and how co-pilots might at times feel intimidated to correct the pilot, which had led to some catastrophic outcomes. It's a really interesting season. There is a hierarchy there, obviously. um But it depends some sometimes the pilots do work together more often, so they're familiar with each other and stuff like that. Some captains are more open, things like that. It all depends on the individual.
00:09:39
Speaker
Yeah, definitely. But of course, like Nathan Fielder, he's a comedian, but ah he so he does it in a funny way. And spoilers, you find out he is a licensed pilot for commercial flying and um he ends up actually flying a commercial jet at the end. Oh, yeah.
00:09:58
Speaker
Spoilers, kind of not spoilers. It's not which I'm going get into later. ah You'll understand what I'm talking about. OK, so um I know I'm being very mysterious on Thanksgiving.
00:10:09
Speaker
So ah keeping you the edge of your seat, guys, um hold on Keep watching the road as you drive. But um yeah, i don't know. I just found that really interesting. So yeah, thankful for um job as of right now. Because I've had jobs where they've had giant layoffs. And it's like, you don't know. Like sometimes don't know where you're like, oh, I don't have a job now. It's it's rough. is It really is. I'm very lucky. I've always been able to predict when either like the manager I've worked with doesn't like I've worked retail for like coffee and retail for like 15 years. So yeah.
00:10:45
Speaker
You know, if I'm working with the manager and i I know they don't like me or they're trying to get rid of me, I will either jump ship or go to a different department or something to make sure that they do not get to me first.
00:10:58
Speaker
That is a really good. That's really interesting because I thought about this the other day. um You kind of can feel it when. Oh, absolutely. Maybe management is not happy with you. Absolutely. And I feel like once you start getting micromanaged,
00:11:13
Speaker
You can't get out of that storm. I feel like no matter how good of an employee you become, they've like kind of made that decision. No, and it's and it's if if if you have two people in cahoots like I've had in the past where and they're reporting to the, you know, one of the the higher ups and in the office and and stuff like that. And what there's what they say goes now that the person they have an opinion of you and stuff and.
00:11:37
Speaker
Yeah, so yeah you can't really defend yourself because it's like well, everyone says this. It's like, no, that's what. But then, you know, when you get, you know, then I leave, go to a different job, and then those two get caught fucking in the back room. Well, you know, you know who wins. I mean, that happens. so I mean, that was a great victory. I am thankful for that victory. That is what I'm thankful for. Yeah, I kind of had that, not that situation happen, but definitely an issue with a past job.
00:12:06
Speaker
um where it just felt like management was taking the other side like on a with a bias. And um yeah, it sucks when that happens because you're just de defenseless and there's nothing you do can do. so um But ah yeah, the other thing I'm thankful for, more silly, something I always joked about was I love... Sorry, battling a cold here, people. I'm very sorry. Well, you coughed because I was about to say coffee. Sleeves.
00:12:35
Speaker
<unk>thy sleeve her Coffee sleeves sleeves. Yeah. Can you? when it Okay. What do you? I don't like it. I don't like it when people call them jackets, like a Java jacket. Oh, there's me.
Humor: Coffee Sleeves & Spoilers
00:12:47
Speaker
That's like people that want to kill Dalmatian puppies and make jackets. Oh, real fucking funny story. Speaking of killing Dalmatians. I was in the city yesterday with my wife. And guy selling stuff on the street, selling jewelry, clothes, whatever. It happens every now and then.
00:13:09
Speaker
And it had a like a Dalmatian print hu jacket. And I'm like, honey, what the fuck Literally, you can't make this shit up. Two seconds later, a lady and her Dalmatian walk by. You cannot make this shit up. And I'm like, oh my God. So yeah.
00:13:27
Speaker
yeah Yeah. And then she's like, that's where my dog is. Yeah, that's ah exactly. um But ah yeah, I mean, back to coffee sleeves. Yeah. Yeah. They are fantastic. Yeah.
00:13:38
Speaker
I just think it's like ah such a great idea. i mean duncan' dont My coffee is hot. Dunkin Donuts used styrofoam cups for many years. Didn't need sleeve. Even though styrofoam is absolutely horrible, which we all know now. I know, and I love the styrofoam cups. It was nice on my lips. to stros phone on lips stick I on my lips. I do like it when the jacket, not the jacket, see look at me, I'm fucking up now, when the when the ah the sleeve is built into the cup.
00:14:04
Speaker
It's built yes sometimes the sleeve is built into the cup. Oh, I like because then i like I like to like my ADHD. I like to like pull it apart and roll it around yeah and stuff and like feel it with the thumb, you know. It's fun. That's nice. It's fun. Anyway, grateful for that because, you know, I get my coffee from Starbeez or something and then I'm like, oh, this is so...
00:14:28
Speaker
Starbies. Starbies, is that what we're calling it now? Starbies, Ron. It's called, yeah, and you can get Starbies and Tarjay. Yes, you can. You can go to a Tarjay and you can get a little Starbies. You Starbies. And you can get a little jacket on your cup. I like my donkeys, though. I like my donkeys.
00:14:46
Speaker
I like my donkeys, yeah. I like my little dookies. Dunkey dookies. I'll be honest. I try to go local with coffee shops. I try to stay local. Yes. Because I worked in it for so many years.
00:14:57
Speaker
but Yeah, but there's a Starbucks in every fucking corner here in New York. Everywhere. Oh, and a donkey bringing back. Bring it back. Nathan Fielder. He had a show called Nathan for you where he would do like weird experiments. It's kind of his thing. He does like weird experiments. And he opened a Starbucks called dumb Starbucks. Okay.
00:15:15
Speaker
And it was just like, I forgot what his goal was with it, but he literally opened ah coffee shop called dumb Starbucks. And I think Starbucks was like cease and desist. Like, what are you doing? um Anyway, I just thought that was funny.
00:15:29
Speaker
But that's what I'm thankful for. But now here's the thing. Do you have anything you're not thankful for? And if you want me to go first, I can go Yeah, you go first. I'm thinking about that. pondering about that one.
00:15:41
Speaker
I actually came up with this this morning because this happened to me yesterday. i am not thankful for spoilers from people who are incompetent.
00:15:52
Speaker
and And this is me saying, you know, are you just did a spoiler. But not really, because also it's like I'm not talking about a movie. yeah It's like a reality show. It was the last episode, but you fucking ruined it. Thanks.
00:16:04
Speaker
Yeah. Well, you know. Now you know. But I also will say spoilers, which might not even help if I'm going to say. But here's thing. When I think of spoilers, I think of serious stuff. Like serious plot twist end of movie stuff. And I'm not going to say the spoiler, but you know. Like revealing how the six cents ends before even watching the movie? Right. Okay. That's the perfect example. Okay.
00:16:32
Speaker
And so I was talking. i was planning to go see Wicked 2. ah And there was a guy at work and I'm not going to say the spoiler, but he's like, yeah, I went to see wicked too. I mean, and of course at the end, blah, blah, blah. and says this huge, like the spoiler. And then he immediately covers his mouth. He's like, Oh, I'm like, what do you mean? Oh, what are a moron? Like, how could you not think for a second that I should say the big thing in the movie at the end?
00:17:05
Speaker
Like, I don't understand people. And I've gotten to arguments. I remember someone because some people I remember getting into a Facebook argument with someone. the spoiled end game. Oh, Avengers end game. Luckily I had already seen it. am so bad at Marvel movies. I am like, not like, I'm still out of touch. I know how it ends. I mean, I know how yeah it ends.
00:17:25
Speaker
But I called this person out. I was like, dude, what are you doing? And they got so pissed off. And because I called them out. Sure. And they even like made a second post about like, you know what? If you got a problem with my posts and blah, blah, blah. I'm like, mela yeah, I do. um Yeah, I got a problem with your post because you're spoiling shit. You know, at the time it was like the biggest blockbuster movie on the planet.
00:17:46
Speaker
So, yeah, you're you're you're a moron and you're also like, did you? bad You are a bad. Did you see? um Wicked 2. Not yet, but I am still going I did not see the first one. i did not. I haven't seen the second one yet. I mean, i hear the second one's getting bad reviews. That's what I'm hearing. Yeah, I heard that too. I don't know. I mean, you know see it for yourself. that's what Right, right. I'll tell you what I'm not thankful for, though, Rob. I did think of something. Yeah, what's up? What's up? I am not thankful for inconsiderate people on an aircraft.
Annoying Passenger Behaviors
00:18:23
Speaker
Oh. Okay. Go on. So... People who do not know, who ah just live in their little bubble and, you know, why are we delayed? What's this? What's going on? um Because there's a hurricane outside? Like, there's you know, are we going to take off? I don't know. I'm just a flight attendant. I know as much as you do. and Everyone thinks we know more and we don't.
00:18:47
Speaker
We really don't. We have no fucking idea. We might get an an alert prior to you, but usually we don't. So I am not thankful for inconsiderate people. Not just on an aircraft in general, but especially on an aircraft.
00:19:02
Speaker
um Here's a question related to that. um Something ah maybe I'm not thankful for. it Have you ever dealt with a singing crowd or a singer on an aircraft who just starts? You ever see those videos of people that just start singing? Now, and I don't put like, because I think like the cast of Lion King started singing. And I think that's cool because that's like a professional Broadway group.
00:19:25
Speaker
I'm trying to think here. think that was fun. um But you have that one person who starts singing and it's like, ugh, shut up. No, I've had people play like loud music to get everybody in the mood and happy and fun.
00:19:39
Speaker
Have I had somebody just break out in song in the aircraft? ah Besides me, no. I'd immediately put my headphones in. um Yeah, I would be so annoyed by that. And then you see people in the comments and there's always... mean, it's always like a mix of people like, oh my God, that's so annoying. And then that person will comment, why is it annoying? That person is literally not hurting anyone. Why are you so angry? It's like, I'm allowed to be annoyed with someone who's not hurting me. You have to remember, we all fly for many different reasons. It's not just going on a vacation. Some people... That's true. Some people are flying for a funeral.
00:20:18
Speaker
Some people, yes some some people are flying to finalize their divorce. Some people are flying to go see, you know, just go see family, not a vacation necessarily. It's, I mean, everybody flies for different reasons.
00:20:29
Speaker
You know, maybe somebody just left their parents and they're going to university for the first time, which is on the other side of the country. yeah yeah So there's so many different reasons. So sometimes you don't want to hear somebody, you know, sing ABBA on a fucking aircraft because you you know, you're you're you got your own shit going on. So yeah, I i mean, sometimes it's like you said, musical cat musical cast of Lion King, all breaking out in song, um singing the opening number.
00:20:58
Speaker
Okay, kind of cool. um Yeah, kind of. But if it's like a 5 a.m. flight, shut the fuck up. Yeah. And if you are someone that wants to do that in the future, i would listen to me, to the person that wants to break out in song on the plane. Ask yourself, why are you on the plane?
00:21:16
Speaker
I bet you anything you're going for happy reasons. Happy. Most people. It depends on where you're going, too. Yeah, like you are probably that's why you're singing. You're in a good mood. You're going on vacation. You're seeing family that you miss. It's like, excuse me, excuse me. This is an hour and a half flight to Detroit. Sit down and shut the fuck up. OK, we're just going to Detroit.
00:21:36
Speaker
Good pizza. But Jesus Christ. Or I've also seen people that just stand up and preach, which that happens like a lot of places that happened in Spring Hill. Actually, i was getting my hair cut at Supercuts in Spring Hill last time I visited. Someone just busted in and started dancing.
00:21:52
Speaker
like loudly just preaching and then he'd leave and go to the next business and loudly preach. And I'm like, what do you, this is not for us. You're doing this for you. I mean, this is for you. You see it all the time in York. People get on the subway and they start preaching. Yeah. that you know, i you you see it all the time. Not as much as you used to. I feel like, but I also don't go into the city every day like I used to. So that's right also another thing. But, um,
00:22:18
Speaker
Yeah. Inconsiderate people. That is what I'm not thankful for, especially on an aircraft. Yeah. Fuckers. um So after this is the thing I was going to say earlier um about how a I'm annoyed that I'm asking the question. um So the thing that ah I tell me if this annoys you, like I always find it to be incredibly awkward and we just did it. So I'm a bit of a hypocrite. Here we go. But I, I,
00:22:44
Speaker
think that game that families play where it's like let's go around the table and say what we're thankful for like we kind of did it ironically for the podcast yeah we did it for the show but when you but i mean i'm gonna sound like a prick i find that i'm gonna sound like a prick annoying i no good i don't do a well and i never have done well maybe it's because i didn't grow up like this um But I was hugged as a child. So there you go. um Okay. i don't buy a relative that loved you. My mother. Yeah. Sometimes. Not by like the man at the park.
00:23:20
Speaker
Okay. wasn here He was nice. Okay, Rob. He was nice. um Right. Chad was nice. Anyway, um it's. sister was I've never done well.
00:23:32
Speaker
And still to this day, I don't do well. with that cheesy, warm feeling, seventh heaven bullshit. I just don't do it. I think it's fake. What are you thankful for? Tell everybody. I'm thankful for, uh, uh, yeah, I'm not thankful. What do you think? When you shut fuck off.
00:23:51
Speaker
I think this, i think this time of the year people gets like, I think it's a good time a year. You know, Christmas is very pretty Thanksgiving. It's nice to see your family. Um, right. Politics with your uncle. We'll probably talk about that later. Um,
00:24:04
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. But like, it's just so fake in my eyes. It's maybe it's the jaded New Yorker in me coming out, but it's just so fake.
00:24:16
Speaker
I'm thankful for my family. And like, you know, like you said, we just did it as well. And I said, I'm thankful for my wife. It's cheesy, but it's true. Now i'm not saying you can't be truthful doing this. It's just, it's forced.
00:24:27
Speaker
Why don't we do why don' we ask yeah why don' we do this on a Tuesday in May? Let's ask people what we're thankful for. Fuck off. And I bet you you're giving answers that the older relatives want to hear. no you Sure. and That's nice for your older relatives. And you you're supposed to be out of kindness of your heart. and But you're not being genuine. you're like My grandma would have done something like, okay, shut the fuck up. Let's go. get Let's have some. Give me my wine. Something like that. Like.
00:24:53
Speaker
But that was, ah that was her saying that was her, no. Oh yeah. You do the blessing. Somebody do the blessing. Come on. Kimmy, you do the blessing. Yes. I mean, that was my grandma though. She, you know, she's like, let's get this shit over with. Let me drink my wine. Let me enjoy myself.
00:25:06
Speaker
And that was just her. But yeah, it was, it's just so, but I don't, I don't recall my family going around and doing that. I don't, even when we had like all the cousins and aunts and uncles together, we never, it would take four hours to do it. No.

00:27:53
Speaker
Yeah, I i just. I have to have turkey on Thanksgiving. I prefer it. i Yes. Yes. It's just I don't know. It's a traditional thing in my brain. i've ah But i've i've I'm thinking of particularly a few years ago where the family.
00:28:09
Speaker
I was with, they're like, let's do like a Cornish hen this year. And I'm like, no I mean, a turkey. ah i think a turkey is great. um My family, because it was so large and, you know, there was a lot of us that we did a turkey and a ham.
00:28:25
Speaker
Okay. Oh, that's fine. Yeah. i can tell you um No, I understand using a chicken if like um it's a budget thing. You know, turkey is more expensive. Chickens are usually cheaper.
00:28:39
Speaker
Maybe the Cornish hens are cheaper. Maybe they want to change it up. I don't know. But what about like vegan Thanksgiving? There's no turkey. Yeah. And sometimes those those and those um those Thanksgiving roasts that they do, those can be very tasty sometimes.
00:28:52
Speaker
I can't eat them anymore, but they can be very tasty. Right, right. um Yeah, I just don't know. There's something about I need the turkey to be there. I love i love turkey. I do. I like i love yeah my sandwiches and stuff. I love turkey.
00:29:07
Speaker
It's almost like a Christmas story with the father, how he just loves the the turkey. Are you familiar with that? Oh, yeah, right. Yeah, yeah. So you're trying to pick and she's like, get out, get out. Yeah. um I'm a turkey fiend. So, yes, I prefer turkey. But I understand people want to change it up. I understand people, like i said, are vegan and things like that. Some people just don't eat meat. It's, you know, I get it.
00:29:29
Speaker
Something I used to do with ah roommates ah years ago, every year we would do a turducken. So you i have had a turducken. They are very tasty. It's a lot of work. so good. It's a lot of work. It is. And we do like different stuffing in between each layer. By the way, for those who don't know, it's a usually a Cornish hen inside of a duck inside of a turkey. And then you layer in, you layer different stuff. John Madden.
00:29:55
Speaker
On um the NFL, you know, Thanksgiving football, hu you know, Thanksgiving football always had a turducken. I think you probably. was that true? Oh, yeah, absolutely. Oh, yeah. He always had the turducken. Oh, wow. He loved the turducken.
00:30:07
Speaker
Rest in peace, John. Yeah, it's great. so um So, it's not my favorite, though. My favorite is, now, my aunt made it, my aunt, um when we used to go to Thanksgiving there, she did a very good turkey in the oven, you know.
00:30:19
Speaker
was always very moist, very good, very good turkey. However, deep fried turkey is the way to go. I was going to ask that. Deep fried turkey. Absolutely.
00:30:30
Speaker
Absolutely. most How long does it take? Does it go from raw to cooked? I've never done it myself. um My wife's family did it one year and ah it was delicious. Oh, I'm sure. And it's very dangerous.
00:30:47
Speaker
You do not know it's very dangerous. um Do it outside. you know thing you know yeah have Have an extinguisher ready to go kind of thing. I am. Oh, look at the little sweater on your puppy. Oh, that's so cute. Oh, yeah. She hates it. we Well, stop she has like this.
00:31:03
Speaker
Well, she has this ah thing that's healing on her back. Oh, OK. She's trying to lick. So we have these pajamas on her and she goes from happy dog to the most oppressed animal. it's It's like so dramatic, but she's dealing with it. She's dealing with it. I am. Yeah. Deep fried turkey is the way to go. that I think that is the best flavor. it just it's It's juicy. It's crispy. It's delicious. You ever get a chance to have deep fried turkey?
00:31:29
Speaker
Go. I had it one year, but I was really young. I kind of forget. But I've seen, like ah I think, like a demonstration of like the most proper way to do it. And it was like they contracted this like pulley system. It looks like almost like a coat hanger kind of thing. Yeah, you want to be yeah really safe about it. um you know Get your oil up ah you know to the perfect level so you don't overflow it.
00:31:54
Speaker
One thing I learned recently, when you're putting the turkey in, shut the fire off first. So if it does spill over, you're not... you know um you know yeah because there's just water literally adding fuel to the fire that make sure your turkey's very dry as well yeah very very dry you do not want any moisture on that bird um so yeah i mean it's very dangerous but it is i think it does produce the best turkey i do i i agree um i would love to try it again some someday ah But um yeah, that's kind of my little rant. um But of course, it's like ah it's fine. It's just ah I'm just thankful that we can all come together and be thankful.
00:32:37
Speaker
That's I'm thankful for being thankful. Yeah. you know Yeah. Just really thankful for thankful for a lot of things for this podcast. Yes. Oh, yeah.
00:32:49
Speaker
That's probably the number one thing people are thankful for this year. let us know the if yeah Let us know in the comments if you're thankful for us. We'd love to hear from you. um Yeah.
00:33:03
Speaker
Did you want to talk about racist uncles or did you? um My uncles. So I have. You don't have to know about your uncle. No, no, they're my uncles. They're not racist. No, no, no, no, no. no no no Okay. No, no, they're not no, no. um They, i have one uncle who's extremely on the left and another uncle who's extremely on the right and everything's giving it. but but but but but but but oh
Avoiding Holiday Politics
00:33:24
Speaker
Right. um And I just sit there and I used to give like the middle of the road type answers and stuff like that or like a libertarian point of view when I had those viewpoints. Right. um net Libertarian point of view. Now I just kind of listen to one of my uncles and I just like agree with him silently because I don't want to cause any more arguments. Right. Right. So, yeah.
00:33:43
Speaker
Yeah. um Yeah. I try to be really aware of what I say. Like, there are just people that again, like people that just let spoilers spill out. I don't know. Read the room like No, there's after those like political, cook you know, political comments that people will just drop. That is the spark to the flame, you know, where it's it's like, well, maybe if so and so didn't do this and then it blows up. It's like, dude, just think before you speak. i mean, when Hillary first got a when she first went, when she first got elected, that's what I was going to say. When Hillary lost the elect, we're thinking um when Hillary got when she lost, when she lost to Trump in 2016, we didn't say a fucking word.
00:34:28
Speaker
at Thanksgiving. we My uncle still argued, but we were like, nope. We had a little secret side conversation. So I voted for Hillary. Yeah, I did too. You know, we... yeah But no, like we kind of knew to just... We know everyone has a difference of opinion. We're just going to shut the fuck up and have a nice Thanksgiving. So yeah, that's... um yeah I think that's the way to go. Like, I definitely had relatives that were on the opposite side of, like, maybe what I feel. And I just wouldn't bring it up. I just don't feel the need to, like, start a battle. So I rise and try not to start an argument, but, like, a relative, like, will say something.
00:35:09
Speaker
Like my dad will say something and I will, I cannot shut up because it's yeah wrong. Factually speaking, not a difference of opinion. It's wrong factually. So I'm like, no, dad, that's not right. And then next thing you know, we're butting it. So yeah, it's better to just kind of shut up, but it's really hard for me to shut my mouth sometimes.
00:35:30
Speaker
Yeah. I said that. Okay. All my friends. I said it. I admit it. It's hard for me to shut my mouth. You happy now? Fuckers. Yeah. Well, that's why you're on a po yeah podcast. Yeah.
00:35:41
Speaker
But yeah, if someone comes at me specifically, then I'm, then I'll probably respond. um But I, I typically try to like keep it. I mean, there's so many other things to talk about besides politics. Like,
00:35:54
Speaker
you know, all my cousins, all my aunts and uncles, that we all have our own separate families and things like that. And, you know, cousins are having babies and stuff like that. You don't need to, you know, you can compare things that your kids do. you we don't need to talk about that. shit need talk about politics all the time. We just don't.
00:36:10
Speaker
We just don't. Talk about sports. Talk about video movies, video games, weather. paul no No, no politics. Yeah, no I mean, you know, where you're traveling to, how's work, shit like that. You don't have to talk about politics.
00:36:23
Speaker
ah that Well, that. Yeah. Yeah. did not always works Talk about movies. Talk about. Yeah. Like you said, video games that are all woke, by the way. I know because of this. I'm just kidding. Very funny. There's always a way to spin it. um But we could also talk about.
00:36:39
Speaker
the dating world. So, which I haven't been in in a very, very long time. And no, I'm not in it anytime soon. I just remember I said, I'm grateful yeah thank for my wife. um I found that this is something you discovered. Yeah. From us it's secret, New York, ah a secret NYC on ah Instagram.
AI Companions & Organic Dating
00:36:55
Speaker
um Here in New York. And I believe it's in, I think that they said November. It could be. so I don't know, but they, it's going to be a pop-up.
00:37:09
Speaker
Okay? It's a pop-up cafe. It's called Eva Cafe. You download the Eva app. You have your AI companion. And you take them out on a date.
00:37:24
Speaker
A whole pop-up restaurant to take your AI date on a date. Your AI companion you on a date. Can you still split the bill? I don't think so. No, no. Oh, okay. So it's like, this this is your date. You're just kind of leaning up against and you're having a conversation with your date. Headphones on, you know, people talking.
00:37:47
Speaker
I mean, you know think of the movie Her. i heard I mean, I could tell you the issue I have with it.
00:37:54
Speaker
I think it's sad that we're not having as much human interaction anymore. I think that's sad. um I understand the use of AI for that, to have a companion. Some people are very lonely. lonely In New York City, you can be extremely lonely in New York City. So right I get it.
00:38:14
Speaker
Doesn't mean I'm fan of it, but I get it. Right. the The problem that I have is that the AI will never challenge you. It'll never be ill. As of right now. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, like you know, if I had if I created an AI of a woman in, you know, that I wanted, you know, that I liked and she told me sweet things all the time. Yeah. She told me things i wanted to hear. Yeah. Yeah. Of course. That's a great companion.
00:38:41
Speaker
Like you can't really like, I just feel like ah you wouldn't talk to the ah AI and be like, oh, I really liked Game of Thrones. And then she's like, no, I wasn't a Yeah, it's never going to be like, oh, I never watched it. You're right. She's never going to shut you down. You're right. Hobbits are weird. Oh, Game of Thrones was a great show. I also like that show.
00:39:01
Speaker
i said Game of Thrones and I said Hobbits. I'm switching things around. I thought i thought that was the joke. i thought that was the joke that AI didn't know. Hobbits are weird. It's just you. It's just me. It's just me. But yeah.
00:39:14
Speaker
The Red Wedding was my favorite episode. Yeah. So you're kind of just having a date with yourself. Kind of, which is narcissistic, but you don't know it's narcissistic. It's kind of weird. I mean, i think it's going to be very successful.
00:39:29
Speaker
Personally, I think a lot of people do this and it's going and I also think it's going ruin some marriages. Because people going to, think it's going to ruin some marriages. It's like, well, honey, it's not real. It's AI. Or like, baby, it's it's it's it's just an AI companion. It's not real. And it's like, well. Why can't you be more like the AI girl?
00:39:46
Speaker
But those interactions you're you're having are real. You are genuinely having affection for someone else or something else. Right. So I don't that's true i like it. I mean, if you're single and that's what you want to do, by all means, go ahead.
00:39:59
Speaker
But, you know, don't create it to see what it's like and then ruin your fucking marriage. Don't do that. Or there is kind of a if I were to if I were to find a silver lining in the dating world when it comes to like, you know, because you hear people that are in the dating world and they just don't have a lot of luck. They're going Sure. It's not going well. I'm meeting so many guys that suck. All these women are lame.
00:40:21
Speaker
There is kind of hear me out. There is kind of a beauty to that, that you are interacting with real people and it didn't work out. Yes. But that is good. That is a good thing. Even though it sucks like it's and it's and it also sucks if it's happening like consecutively. But still, it's better, I think, to go through that than to just talk to something that's not real.
00:40:44
Speaker
That's just going to agree with you. Yeah. I mean, cause that's the real world. You know, people are not going to agree with you. People are not going to like you. People are not going to find you attractive. Um, it happens. People are actually lame and people are actually in How did you meet your girlfriend?
00:40:58
Speaker
If you don't mind me asking. Uh, dating app. A dating app. Okay. See? Yeah. So I have, I met my wife at work. 16 years ago. We started dating 16 years ago. We did not use a dating app.
00:41:15
Speaker
I, to this day, have never used a dating app. Right. I'm the minority, though. I'm the minority. Yeah. Mm-hmm. You know, I think, look, I'm also a guy using a dating app, so I can't speak for women using them. But I don't know when when my I always looked forward to first dates because I don't really get nervous meeting someone for the first time who agreed to meet with me. Like it's different if I'm like going up to someone, which I don't really do this. I don't do the whole like go up to that girl at the bar who's by herself and start talking. I just don't know. It just doesn't. It has to be organic.
00:41:54
Speaker
Yeah, it has to be organic. I mean, if she looks at you across the bar and gives you a smile. yeah Right. If there's any kind of indication of an invite yes to speak, yeah then sure.
00:42:06
Speaker
But so if I'm meeting up with someone who has agreed to meet up with me, I don't really feel nervous because I'm like, well, what do I have to lose? Even if this goes bad, who cares? Like, I'm just going to be me. I'm going to, want it to be fun. that i i haven't dated. and And so, so out of the game.
00:42:25
Speaker
Yeah, so the the majority, maybe with the exception of one, you know, of of like first dates have been like fine. And that one was because I just don't think I don't think she was interested in dating. i think she was just interested in like, I don't know being pampered, but that's just my opinion. um Yeah, and but it was like, I always have a good time.
00:42:45
Speaker
I'm just looking to have a good time. Like, like, that's it. Yeah, so oh that's that's that's I think it's a good way to go into it. Yeah. ah But again, that's from a male perspective. Sure.
00:42:57
Speaker
i mean, I took my wife. The first place we went to was a bar across the street from where we worked. um ah She had two Stellas. I had two Jack and Gingers.
00:43:07
Speaker
And we just talked until the bar closed. Yeah. oh i I took her to a Tiki bar where we made fun of the fact that one of the drinks was called a painkiller and we just like, we, I need another painkiller, you know? And then, so, you know, we made drug jokes. So I don't, I don't, I don't remember the conversation exactly. I just know that we got alone very well. And to have that kind of organic, as we were talking about organic experience, where you're just talking to basically, she wasn't a stranger, but I didn't know her that well, you know, I've only known of her for a month and a half. So yeah, I moved quick. I moved. Yeah. Um,
00:43:44
Speaker
Yeah, yeah. So I mean, I can I can get along with anyone. But it's a matter of do I want to see this person a second time or a third time? So this um AI cafe, i mean, like I said, I think it's gonna be successful. i think a lot of people are i think it's gonna normalize doing this or start to normalize doing this.
00:44:04
Speaker
um Right. But it's it is scary. It is scary because we're just losing that interaction with humans. Yeah. Also, here here give me your thoughts on this. Like, I understand. No, I understand, you know, talking to an A.I. chat bot on a date at home.
00:44:26
Speaker
But like, is it just going to be a cafe full of people talking on their phone? Isn't that kind of embarrassing? Because you're doing it in front of other people. Well, I... I understand doing it by yourself. mean, you're going to have your headphones in. You're going be talking one-on-one with them. I mean, you're going to order food. You're going to eat. Obviously, the AI companion's not going to eat. And everybody's doing the same thing. Yeah. I feel like I'd be like side-eyeing people. Maybe at first, because it's a new experience for everybody, especially when it opens. But...
00:44:55
Speaker
um If I see it. Also, how many women do you think are going to do this? I think more than we realize. I really do. Okay. I think more than we realize. um You know, they want affection, too. you know they You know, there's a lot. Let's be honest. I mean, there's a lot of shitty women out there. There's also a lot of shitty guys, too.
00:45:13
Speaker
And they get tired of it as well. So, I mean, you know, unsolicited dick pics. You know, like you know and you know they yeah probably get tired of it. Right. ah So this would be the best thing. The best outcome is ah you go to this A.I. cafe and you see a girl that's also in the A.I. cafe. And then you talk about how your dates went and then you end up dating each other. That that also could happen. You could meet somebody. How do you mean we were both on an a a separate A.I. date? And that's just ah yeah so much.
00:45:45
Speaker
So much, Rob. So right. Yeah, it's it's go. Yeah, there's layers to this. There's layers. So.
00:45:53
Speaker
Moving on from that, Rob. um rob Moving on. ah Yes. you have any cold jokes for me today? um Why did the turkey cross the road?
00:46:08
Speaker
Why? um Because ah he he he was homeless.
00:46:20
Speaker
the And he was crossing the road to get to his tent. And he had heroin needles. And he was crossing the street to get to his tent. And then he went into his tent and knew all his boombox stereo was robbed.
00:46:35
Speaker
And um he started thinking about his wife that left him and
Thanksgiving Jokes & Traditions
00:46:40
Speaker
um how everything went downhill. oh my God. Got a taste of that of that that sweet, sweet needle.
00:46:46
Speaker
Anyway, i wrote a joke. Oh, wait, you were supposed to read that. You were supposed to read that joke. yes I have one. I guess I have one for you. god with That's my joke. here I gave you one. Oh, OK. All right.
00:47:01
Speaker
Here's a cold joke from Ron. only wrote one today. only wrote one. As tradition, the president pardons the turkey. Instead, this year, Trump is going to pardon himself, J.D. Vance and Larry Summers.
00:47:14
Speaker
Boom. Oh, snap. All the uncles are screaming right now. Oh, he didn't do Hey, I know they can hear me. It was the I don't know what a podcast is.
00:47:30
Speaker
It was the best guy. it was What about the child trafficking? What child trafficking? you Exactly. I know. Yeah. He would only pardon a turkey if he found out that it, uh, that it like stormed the Capitol. Yeah. That would have been my cold joke. He's like, oh he, why did Trump pardon this Turkey? Cause this Turkey stormed the Capitol. Oh, that's, that's funny. That's actually really good.
00:47:53
Speaker
Hey, I did it. We did it together. This was a you and
00:48:00
Speaker
me. Oh, I need that sound effect just like on my person. Every time. Yeah. um Oh, that's great. Yeah. But um one of the things that I do love about Thanksgiving.
00:48:12
Speaker
um Well, actually, I don't know if you wanted to talk about because we were going to discuss memories and then something that I like to watch. I like there's one. I don't really have any specific memory. I have a very good memory and I might get a little emotional. And if any of my cousins or any of my family members listen the episode, you will get upset as well. It's a good memory, though. OK.
00:48:34
Speaker
Okay. my grandmother okay my father's mother always the life of the party okay so it's a little corny what we did but as a tradition every year we would sing the the whole family all seven hundred italians we would sing the twelve days of christmas um And my grandma was always a partridge in a pear tree.
00:48:59
Speaker
And she would be like, i a partridge in a pear tree and like shake her ass or something like that. She would also teach the kids how to do the Michael Jackson. So she would like rub her crotch at the same time. It was fantastic. it was cha Yeah. um And my grandpa was always um five golden rings.
00:49:16
Speaker
ah He was the only one he always did. um So to that was always a nice memory we had of them doing it together and stuff like that. um Just going around and then watching grandma just shake her ass and be silly and stuff. It was just... Those are probably some of my favorite Thanksgiving. I'm getting McLint. Those probably some of favorite. Oh, no, that is... Yeah, I mean, well, they're all gone now. So, like, you know, when Grandpa died, I took over, because I played my grandfather in a play that my cousin wrote, I took over five golden rings.
00:49:48
Speaker
So it was just... And we haven't done anymore because we don't see each other anymore. part the family that doesn't at the other... But you know what makes it special? They might do it, but... It makes it special because it was limited.
00:49:59
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, you know, we're not on this planet forever. going forever, it wouldn't be as special. Yeah, one yeah it would. Yeah, it would. You had to be there. Yeah, it would. But, you know, there's something about a finite, amazing thing that makes our memories, like, so special. Yeah. And that's why we get lost in nostalgia, because if the 90s, let's just say, switching it, lasted forever, like, we would get over it. We would be over it by now. Yeah, but you know our childhood was kind of like...
00:50:30
Speaker
rushed if you will yeah you know it's like yeah it's like you know this happened in the 90s it's like now we're in the 2000s it's like you gotta college i gotta pay for college i'll recession just getting no no so yeah i'm sure it probably feels that way to a lot of people you know generation of goes yeah it goes by in a flash but uh I think it's important that we have those yeah memories yeah because some people have really shitty memories. Yeah, true. And so that is the thing to be thankful for. Yeah. So is that the fact that you have those memories at all? Do you have any fun memories?
00:51:06
Speaker
um No, we, you know, Thanksgiving wasn't like the biggest thing. ah We'd go over my aunt's house a lot for our holiday holiday.
00:51:18
Speaker
dinners. So I always had, you know, also my, my family were, you know, Italians from Brooklyn. So everyone was funny and I was just kind of this kid that, yeah. And I think a lot of my sense of humor came from my cousins. And so I would just sit there and kind of watch a comedy show essentially at the dinner table.
00:51:41
Speaker
Yeah. And I would just sit there kind of silent laughing, just have how ridiculous, the things that they would say and like how silly they were. And I do miss that. That doesn't happen anymore.
00:51:52
Speaker
Uh, because I think a lot of people just moved away. My aunt lives in Florida and then, you know, we get older, we, you know, you know so grow apart. yeah It's just, it's part of life. Yeah. That's why I, I, I'm so sad this year that I'm not going to New Jersey because I loved how I re I met up again with my sister. Well, I've been, we, you know, we kind of like,
00:52:16
Speaker
uh, just like family stuff. We never really talked, but not because her and I had issues with each other. It was just like a family thing. But then I became an adult and she's an adult. So it's like, wait, why aren't we talking to each other? Let's talk. Are older or I've been going over.
00:52:32
Speaker
ah she's older. She's older. Okay. I have a younger sister. Um, And so now i go to New Jersey. She has this amazing house in New Jersey and for Thanksgiving.
00:52:44
Speaker
And it's the best thing. I've done it a few times now. I did it once because it was just a festival I was in in New Jersey and I happened to stop by and then I'm like, oh, this would be cool to come back for Thanksgiving. And, you know, she's like, of course, like do it. You know, I also like to take the train out to the city. oh yeah. And, uh,
00:53:04
Speaker
you know, it's like a whole thing. It really feels like Christmas. So, um, um it feels more like Christmas during Thanksgiving. when i I get that. I get that feeling. I do. Yeah.
00:53:15
Speaker
Um, but anyway, that's, I guess that's my serious thing that I'm thankful for. memory yeah and, uh, memories, I guess. Yeah. But something we can, we can liven it up to something that I love to do on Thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving Movie Favorites
00:53:28
Speaker
ah My fate is also my favorite comedy movie is planes, trains, and automobiles. You cannot have a Thanksgiving, a thanks for nothing special without talking about planes, trains, and automobiles.
00:53:38
Speaker
You just can't. Yeah, it's there aren't many Thanksgiving movies aside from like, you know, when they try to mix up horror. with Yeah, there's there's a few others. out I'm going to go into but the big one is at a Christmas special.
00:53:51
Speaker
Planes, trains, and automobiles. Yeah. After you're done watching football, you put on planes, trains, and automobiles. Or before football, you put on planes, trains, and auto automobiles. Yes. Right. I remember, i think I saw for the first time at 14, and i <unk> like the part where John Candy is driving and you see him in the devil costume, I was laughing so hard. I was crying. I was crying because I just wasn't expecting it, you know, because they're like trying to drive between him and Steve Martin are trying to drive between two semi trucks and there's sparks flying everywhere. And already it's funny because Steve Martin's like screaming and John Candy.
00:54:29
Speaker
is also screaming, but then it just super, you know, it kind of like breaks the fourth wall a bit and it cuts to John Candy in a devil costume, which represents like his character, how he's been this like demon you know, this annoying guy to Steve Martin, this whole movie. And then it's represented in like one shot of him in a devil costume. It just hit me so hard.
00:54:52
Speaker
So you know what? I absolutely loved it I like me. My wife likes me. Yeah. My customers like huh i i That's all I know. but yeah oh Oh, that's funny because I used to um back when like used to go to like casting. It was like casting um like ah networking things where you can like say a monologue in front of an agent or a show director.
00:55:16
Speaker
and I don't have it memorized anymore, but I used to say the monologue that Steve Martin says to him. Oh, okay. It's like, you're like a chatty Kathy doll. You just pull in the string, you know ah about you know, I used to do that that's fun monologue.
00:55:28
Speaker
um Yeah, it is a fun one. And then the response is the famous John Candy monologue. um So yeah, I, I absolutely adore that movie. Yeah. um And, you know, I know we're getting a space balls too.
00:55:44
Speaker
Yeah. And I wanted to ask your opinion. i had heard rumors. I don't know if this is actually confirmed, but how do you feel about like John Candy's son being what his name is. Barf. Yeah. A barf son. Yeah.
00:55:57
Speaker
i'm I'm okay. I mean, they brought back everyone else. You can't bring, yeah you can't bring back him. i mean, you can't bring back Joan Rivers. yeah You can't bring back John Candy. So, and you have his son who's willing to do it.
00:56:09
Speaker
Yeah, man. Absolutely. mean I think it's absolutely. I'm excited to see Rick Moranis though. I'm really excited about Rick Moranis. Oh my God. That is dude. Really excited. is the draw. You know, that's the draw to the whole movie.
00:56:22
Speaker
Like it's the fact that Rick Moranis is coming out of retirement to do this role. yeah I mean, you haven't like that is you have a little shop of horrors, the yeah the honey, I shrunk the kid, honey, we shrunk ourselves. Honey, I blew up the kid movies. Like, yeah, I'm very excited for it. doing Do you think that this is going to bring Rick Moranis back in general? Probably not. This is going to be like a Brendan, like Brendan Fraser. No, I don't think so. It might. and You think he'll, you you think he's just doing this as a favor and then I'm back. He's doing it for Mel Brooks and that's it. Yeah.
00:56:53
Speaker
yeah That's what I think. I mean, who else could bring him out? i Well, he did technically do that. Did he do a Mint Mobile commercial yes with Ryan Reynolds? Yes, Ryan Reynolds. I think it was a Super Bowl. i mean I can't remember if it a Super Bowl commercial or not, but Ryan Reynolds. Yeah. And I think that's kind of what got the ball rolling. Yeah. It's like, oh, he's at least willing. Yeah, no. So, mean, you know, he's...
00:57:15
Speaker
I'm just excited. and I don't know. I don't know what else. yeah I'm just really excited that Rick Moranis is coming back. I am too. Very excited. it is cut It's like Brendan Fraser coming back. you know no No, this is more exciting.
00:57:28
Speaker
Even though The Whale was very good. That was a great movie. but um Oh, I love The Whale. Great movie. but ah yeah no i I love The Soundtrack too. Yeah, I'm very excited for Rick Moranis. Rob, is that a special?
