00:00So you know Dan Hurley is the legendary coach at UConn and Dan Hurley celebrated Thanksgiving

00:05yesterday not today yesterday with his team UConn has a game tomorrow and Dan Hurley was asked

00:13why are you guys celebrating Thanksgiving a day before Thanksgiving and not on Thanksgiving yeah

00:20and I'm going to read you the quote here do you guys have it actually all right so I'll play it

00:24for you here's coach Hurley great coach I wanted him for the Knicks in the worst way talking about

00:30why the UConn kids celebrated Thanksgiving yesterday listen to this so and just have a great Thanksgiving

00:36to everyone out there we're going to celebrate our Thanksgiving on Wednesday as a team we're going

00:42to eat the what's in the turkey Bobby no no no no what makes people sleepy tryptophan so we're not

00:51going to eat the trip the fan on when on Thursday and be sluggish on Friday so we're going to eat

00:58the trip the fan the turkey and everything Wednesday now so if you ever weren't worried or thought you

01:04know there's my head coach dot all the i's and cross all the t's in preparation there is no coach in

01:10America more locked in than Danny Hurley who and you heard him right there he's concerned that they

01:16eat turkey today they'll be sluggish tomorrow because the old wives tell that that turkey has

01:23a chemical in it called tryptophan and tryptophan makes you tired so I did a little research on this

01:29yeah I was hoping you did if you had to guess how much turkey a normal size grown man would have to

01:37eat today to be sluggish tonight and let's even say tomorrow fine all right you want to take a wild

01:45guess I mean how much turkey now remember the average turkey Americans buy and serve at their

01:51dinner table is 22 pounds that makes sense so let's take five pounds of bones off that yeah you

01:57got about 15 to 17 pounds of meat for the whole family right how much turkey would you have to eat

02:03to be sluggish from the tryptophan I think it would almost have to be the whole thing because

02:08there's tryptophan in other foods we talk about turkey but I do know for a fact that it's in other

02:13food the reason grandpa Joe takes a nap after thanksgiving is because he's already fat and old

02:20it's not because he ate turkey turkey it's because he had turkey and stuffing and macaroni salad and

02:28cranberries and if you're from new orleans gumbo right right and dessert some liquor and ice cream

02:34right some booze and half your bottle of maker's mark that's what I mean that's why uncle joe's

02:40sleeping right it's not because he had too much turkey it's just everything else so I can answer

02:45the question right so I thought a lot like maybe you're right I have the number yeah and this is a

02:49crazy number the average american man to be tired or sluggish specifically because he ate too much

02:57turkey yeah you would have to eat eight pounds of turkey come on nobody's doing that eight pounds

03:04right now no way not like eight pounds this month eight pounds tonight for you to be sluggish tomorrow

03:11no way it's impossible but that's a coach it's like I'm not leaving anything I'm nothing I'm gonna

03:16make sure we're prepared and ready to rock that's Danny Hurley and that's why you gotta love Danny Hurley

03:23you
