00:00Say it with your chest now.
00:01Question of the day.
00:02What's your strongest Thanksgiving take?
00:05713-572-4610.
00:07You know what energy I'm looking for?
00:09I'm looking for Thanksgiving arguing energy.
00:12I don't know if it's going to get you riled up so that when you get Thanksgiving tomorrow or what have you that you're ready.
00:18Or is it just going to get it out of your system so that tomorrow you're just going to have only peace and food and football energy for your family or friends or whoever you're spending time with.
00:29That's not going to happen.
00:30Either way, right now, right this moment in this segment, I need you to come with it.
00:34Strong Thanksgiving takes.
00:37John Lopez, go ahead and get your nonsense off.
00:39It's not nonsense.
00:40It is pure nonsense.
00:42It's a terrific idea.
00:43Thanksgiving should not be in November.
00:45It should not be in November.
00:48Why?
00:48So dumb.
00:49The original first Thanksgiving, first of all, if we're going to get.
00:52Oh, brother.
00:53Jesus wasn't born on December 25th.
00:55I'm still leaving Christmas right here.
00:57It is with it.
00:57Technically.
00:58No, no, no.
00:58Technically, it's not going to be my biggest reason.
01:01But it is a reason.
01:02The original first Thanksgiving was in September.
01:05So there's that.
01:06But this is the bigger reason.
01:08November, most, I was going to say guys.
01:11I think it is most guys.
01:12But I think a lot of women as well.
01:14November is the best month for fishing, the best month for hunting.
01:19Hunting season is in November.
01:21And I'm talking, you know, deer, birds, ducks.
01:27All of that is in November.
01:28Turkeys.
01:29Turkey season.
01:30You're right.
01:31Hey, look at you.
01:31You know you're outdoors.
01:32I wonder if those things correlate.
01:34I wonder if people go hunt turkeys and bring them in for something.
01:36I don't know.
01:37And all these machinations that people have to do to try to go hunting after Thanksgiving dinner
01:43or the next morning and all that.
01:45Why?
01:45They don't want to be there.
01:46Most outdoorsmen, outdoors women don't want to be there.
01:50They'd rather be fishing or hunting.
01:52And it's a long, you know, even if it's not a long weekend, because a long weekend would
01:55be in September.
01:56But it's a weekend in November.
01:58There's only four of them.
01:59Maybe five if you're lucky.
02:01I don't think so.
02:01Only 30 days.
02:02But there's only four of them.
02:04And you want to be outdoors in November.
02:06It ruins a lot of plans for people.
02:10Just go ahead and say it's you.
02:11I think the plans work great for everybody else.
02:14Just say you're speaking for you and your bite me crew.
02:16713-572-4610.
02:18613-610.
02:20Millions across the country.
02:21Oh, sure.
02:22Millions.
02:23Hey, this is like me saying, hey, Thanksgiving, we need to move it because I always got to
02:27work on Thanksgiving.
02:28That's right.
02:28Hey, I got a good buddy.
02:29Speaking of the podcast, my buddy Caleb McCumber, he went up to South Dakota to go hunting with
02:34his son, pheasant hunting.
02:36You know why he's back now?
02:38Because of Thanksgiving.
02:39Because he had to be back for Thanksgiving.
02:41Man, he could spend a whole week up there.
02:42He'd want to be back for Thanksgiving.
02:43Are you sure about that?
02:45Because I'm sure he's not.
02:46He want to be back with his family.
02:48I'm sure.
02:48Oh, yeah.
02:49I'd rather be with Uncle Tommy, who is a pain in the ass and I've never liked, than hunting
02:55or fishing.
02:55Well, you know what?
02:57You sound like you don't want Thanksgiving at all, then.
03:00No, no.
03:00I want it in September.
03:01I will say, it's a straight take one.
03:04But two, I think you might be leaving one of the best potential reasons for you on the
03:08table here.
03:09Oh, really?
03:09Help me out.
03:10Give it a little space between family visit holidays.
03:13Yes, that too.
03:15Right?
03:15Like, you are a month between your Thanksgiving dinner and your Christmas, right?
03:20And now, that could be a little rough, depending on who your family is.
03:24We're not going to all pretend that everybody's got a television movie family.
03:29Some people don't like seeing them.
03:30Yeah.
03:30So, give yourself a little distance.
03:32I can see it.
03:33Or, even if you do like seeing them, space it out a little bit, right?
03:35A little bit.
03:36September to December, I'm in.
03:37I'm good with that.
03:37I appreciate that.
03:38Honestly, I would just argue we need more eating holidays, period.
03:41Like, I like food holidays, if you can't tell.
03:44But, yes.
03:44What's your hottest Thanksgiving?
03:46My hottest one is kind of like a, it's kind of a hot because it's not hot because it's
03:52hot, right?
03:53If that makes sense.
03:53Which is, turkey is clearly the worst thing that we eat on Thanksgiving.
03:57But, you can't not have turkey at Thanksgiving is ultimately where I'm like, you have to have
04:03it.
04:03Like, it's not, it's so much work.
04:05Yeah.
04:06It's not, it's not worth the ROI.
04:08Everything that you have on your table is better.
04:11And yet, it's not Thanksgiving dinner if you don't have it.
04:13This is true.
04:13Like, it's just, it's just not.
04:15That's not real hot.
04:16A lot of people would agree with you.
04:17Yeah.
04:17All right.
04:17I would say my actual hot take is that you can't eat, like, you got to eat before one.
04:24Hmm.
04:24Like, it has to happen before one.
04:27If, why are we waiting until three?
04:29God forbid, the people that are waiting until like five and seven.
04:31I feel so sorry for you.
04:33If you have to eat anything besides Thanksgiving food on Thanksgiving, your family is, like,
04:37you need to sue.
04:38I'll call Child Protective Services even if you're not a child.
04:40Like, I feel bad for you.
04:41But, you eat early.
04:43I don't mind that one.
04:44So you can eat, you can get at least three plates in.
04:46Yeah.
04:46Like, that's necessary.
04:47Yeah.
04:47I don't mind that one, but there are families that, well, my family, you know, my daughter
04:51and her husband have to go eat at one here, so we're doing ours later, and then they
04:55have another one here, and you know what I mean?
04:56I think it depends the situation, too.
04:59Yeah, yeah.
04:59So you've got to kind of spread it out a little bit.
05:02So you might have yours at one, but somebody else's family might have to change theirs a
05:09little bit.
05:09Yeah, so you can hit them all.
05:09Yeah, so everybody can go to everybody.
05:11That's also a great one, especially in a city like Houston where there's a lot of folks,
05:15and you might have a few people to jump over to.
05:17Yeah.
05:17It's kind of great to be like, all right, I'll be one place at one.
05:20Yeah.
05:20We'll get over there to the other place about four.
05:22We'll hit the nightcap over here about like seven, eight, and then we'll take it to the
05:26house with three different plates.
05:27And a midnight sandwich.
05:29Yeah, so mine, I don't even know if it's a hot take or not, but what's the one thing
05:35that you have on the television, like early on, before any game starts?
05:43The parade?
05:44No, the parade.
05:45Oh, the parade.
05:46Yeah, the parade.
05:46I'm going to be honest.
05:47Yeah, it stinks.
05:48I don't care for the parade.
05:51And my wife, she gets up like, oh, yeah, the parade is on.
05:54Yeah, they're on the parade.
05:56And I'm just like, no, this ain't causing that much energy, man.
06:01Like, no, what are we doing?
06:02Everything looks so cheesy.
06:04The people on there, the performers, they be finding some singers that I totally forgot
06:10about.
06:10I'm like, wait a minute, is that so-and-so?
06:12I like yours, too.
06:14I feel like we turn on the Macy's parade.
06:17The parade or the Houston parade.
06:18For sure.
06:19Because we have to, almost.
06:20That's right.
06:20Yeah.
06:21Yeah, I'm just like, man, I'd rather watch something else.
06:25You know, and you know what?
06:26This actually ties in with a great one that came in here on the text line, and I've lost
06:29the number, so apologies to that person.
06:31However, I do appreciate the idea of there are not enough Thanksgiving movies.
06:38Like, that's what should be.
06:39That should be.
06:39If we did not have, like, we would not have to put on the parade if we did not, if we had
06:45Thanksgiving movies, that's, you run those in the morning until the football start, and
06:48then here we go.
06:48Yeah.
06:49Plains, trains, and, no, is it Plains, Trains, and Automobiles?
06:51The one with John Candy?
06:53That sounds correct, but I have no idea.
06:56Yeah, that's it.
06:57That's the Thanksgiving movie.
06:58Oh, 832 took yours a step further.
07:00They said that Macy's was never good.
07:02I'm not saying it was.
07:03I'm saying it's just like we have to.
07:04Yeah, it's just, it's really background music or background sound.
07:09But the people that say, oh, I gotta, come on, I gotta stop and watch the parade.
07:12Like, come on, man.
07:13You're sitting there watching a parade on TV?
07:16Yeah.
07:17All right.
07:17It's not the championship parade?
07:19Cranberry sauce, yes or no?
07:20Uh, yes, but it's low on the list.
07:23Jerk.
07:24Cranberry sauce, yes or no?
07:25Yes.
07:25Okay.
07:26Canberry or actual cranberry sauce?
07:29When I was a kid, I loved the can, the one with the ridges.
07:32But my wife has been making one for the last 15, 20 years.
07:36From scratch, that's just flat out better.
07:39It's just better.
07:40From the 409, man, Reggie, I need to smoke a turkey for you.
07:44You'll change your mind.
07:45See, people always do that, too, man.
07:47Hey, you gotta try mine, though.
07:49You gotta try mine.
07:51I do.
07:51And that's fair.
07:52I do.
07:52I'm sure that it's really good.
07:54I thought Dustin Nickerson, who is a comedian, made a fantastic point.
07:58He was like, if your turkey's that good, chances are your sides are still better.
08:02And that's a great point.
08:03Like, if you were that good and make a turkey, taste good, I bet them sides are kicking, baby.
08:07I bet those things are fantastic.
08:09Well, this is a hot take.
08:10And Seth brought it up earlier in a different way.
08:14I think you should tell mom or grandma to just make sides, not the turkey in the oven.
08:21Any turkey smoked or fried is better than the oven turkey.
08:26Yeah, I was going to say, kind of rank the turkeys, like the different type of ways you
08:30cook the turkey.
08:31What's number one?
08:32Fried one.
08:33Fried as lead.
08:34Smoked.
08:35Like, slow smoked.
08:37Yeah.
08:37Spatchcocked.
08:38You know, opened up.
08:39It's awesome.
08:41Have you seen someone de-boned the turkey?
08:43I've done it.
08:44How does that go?
08:45It's just, you know, I spatchcocked it.
08:48You know, I cut the backbone out and then spread it.
08:51And then you spread the legs.
08:53I've de-boned it a couple times.
08:54But when you spatchcocked it, which is a fun word to say.
08:57I noticed it.
08:58It's so much better.
08:59Slow smoked.
09:00It's terrific.
09:02All right.
09:02Are you at all one of those?
09:04Because apparently I found the Not Enough Good Thanksgiving movies, which, again, salute
09:07to the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.
09:10No, Great Pumpkin is Halloween, ain't it?
09:12There's a Thanksgiving one in there.
09:14832.
09:15If your wife doesn't bring you a slice of pie or in a cup of coffee while you're watching
09:19the game in a recliner, you didn't treat her right during the year.
09:22I agree.
09:23Okay.
09:24So, your lady got to make you a plate is what you're coming from.
09:26Yeah, that's what I was going to say.
09:27Do your lady make you a plate or do she just kind of say, here you go.
09:33We usually have the dinner.
09:34We used to have the sit-down dinner with place name cards and all that stuff.
09:38Yeah, I went to yours last year.
09:40Yeah, that's right.
09:41You came.
09:42And we have name cards.
09:43Yeah, my name right there.
09:43You got assigned seats?
09:44Yeah, yeah.
09:45Yeah, assigned seating.
09:46I was kind of shocked.
09:46Okay.
09:47I was like, okay, this is a little different for you.
09:49You got a hot take?
09:50I have not been, have not known that.
09:52That might be a hot take.
09:52I've never known that like, yeah.
09:53Yeah, yes or no on name cards.
09:56I like it.
09:57It just makes it a little more.
09:59It's a little more formal than I'm coming to Thanksgiving with.
10:02But it's also, you strategize who needs to sit with whom and all that stuff.
10:05Are y'all a, we got to say Grace family?
10:09Or are y'all a, this is a buffet, go eat.
10:11No, we say Grace first.
10:12Okay.
10:12I kind of grew up, this is a buffet.
10:14Okay.
10:15Going there in the TV room.
10:16Okay.
10:17Grace TV.
10:18All right.
10:18We didn't even sit at a table.
10:20Some other ones.
10:21Shout out to Mary texting in from the 346.
10:23If you're going to have cornbread dressing, you must have bread dressing as well.
10:27I disagree.
10:28Like either cornbread is all I need there, big fella.
10:30No, I like both.
10:31I like both.
10:32Is this a hot take right here?
10:34I mean, we was talking about the things, the lack of Thanksgiving movies.
10:37That's because you really should be watching Christmas movies.
10:40That should be planned.
10:41No, don't.
10:42Absolutely not.
10:43Please don't.
10:43Yeah, and that's, that's one of the ones that I'll stand strong on.
10:44The tree should be up at Thanksgiving.
10:46Absolutely not.
10:46That's a hot take.
10:47You know when we're.
10:47That is your post Thanksgiving activity.
10:50That's your Black Friday activity.
10:51Putting up the tree.
10:51We're going on Friday, Figgy.
10:53We're going to storage on Friday to get all our Christmas stuff.
