Kristen Joy (3:00)

Thank you.

Brian Green (3:01)

I'd say if you're here after episode 350, 400, I can maybe understand a little bit why. But if you're here since like episode one, I have no clue in the world why you would have made it the first hundred episodes. But God bless you. Thank you. To you, I give thanks. I am grateful for a lot of stuff this year. My family, my dear friends, your health. Health, absolutely. The health and the people who made me more healthy, like the doctors who caught it and the doctors who took care of it. That's one thing I certainly am going to be saying thank you for this year because, wow, has my life changed in just short order. It's insane how quick I got better.

Kristen Joy (3:41)

And anyway, so hopefully you wrote a good review for that doctor place.

Brian Green (3:45)

I did. I will give it a shout out again. I think I talked about it. I don't really remember what I talked about first couple days after the surgery because I was so high. I really was. I was just so high on thyroid hormone. But thank you to the Norman Parathyroid Center Surgical center down in Tampa, Florida, the world's number one parathyroid surgery endocrinology surgical center for parathyroid problems. They are the best. They do it the most. And they took great care of me. Dr. Mitchell down there cut me open and made sure I got stitched back together without a lot of effect to my voice and just some mild side effects that I think could be expected from any surgery in that area. So thank you to Dr. Grateful for Dr. Mitchell and the Norman Parathyroid center and again, grateful to all of you out there. So what is the Thanksgiving tradition, Chrissy, that you look forward to every year? Do you guys have a tradition like something you do every year that you really enjoy, you look forward to?

Kristen Joy (4:46)

No.

Brian Green (4:47)

Okay. All right. And thank you for joining us on this episode of the commercial break.

Kristen Joy (4:52)

We don't have something that like we do every single year. I think the Macy's Day parade definitely is. Is up there with watching that and the. Yeah, I think football. Football game.

Brian Green (5:02)

Yeah. Okay. We, we will probably turn on the football this year. The football will be on Netflix, so I probably will be watching it intermittently. 2K. I'll be watching it in 1K. Yeah, we'll see how they manage to that up because that's going to be live also. It's amazing that they actually managed to score the rights to those Christmas Day games. I thought that you would have thought that the big networks would have said this is like one time.

Kristen Joy (5:28)

Talk about a tradition.

Brian Green (5:29)

Yeah, talk about a tradition. CBS Thanksgiving football. I mean that, I think that's where it was at anyway. But you know, NBA on Christmas day, football on Thanksgiving, college football on New Year's Eve. That's the things, that's what you think of Masters and on Easter or that's what you think about. Right. And so it's just amazing to me that they lost those rights. And it just signals how big and powerful and benevolent Netflix has really become in the entertainment industry for all things content. Now they need to get it right. That's what they need to do. If they should fuck up the football, which I would imagine there will be more people watching this football than even watch the Jake Paul fight. 60 million people tuned in live to the Paul Tyson fight. I'm going to imagine somewhere between the two games around 100 million people will tune into that across the world.

Kristen Joy (6:20)

It's a big deal.

Brian Green (6:21)

It is a big deal. So let's see how they do. I'll be here to report on it. You know, I'll be here with blood hanging off my fangs if Netflix fucks it up. Because they need to get it right and we need to make sure they get it right. We pay too much money for them not to get small details like that. Right. How can CBS figure that out 100 years ago and Netflix can't figure it out today? I mean it's all pretty much the same. Like I realized that the, that the signal now comes through like that. It used to come through the, over the air. Right. It was a whole different animal back then. As long as you had were within eyesight of a tower that was sending a signal, you didn't have congestion problems. But it's all working the same way now. It's all coming through some service, some Internet based service or coax cable. They managed to get it right. I take a big tower and I put a thing on it that I don't know, something happens and wa. Bam tv, Marconi awards or something. The FCC and Marconi, they all got together with Tesla and color television. I don't, I remember reading about how that happens, but I, I don't know. I don't know. But anyway, Netflix. So yeah, we'll be watching the football too.

Kristen Joy (7:39)

Families spending time with family.

Brian Green (7:40)

Yes, we'll say we'll give thanks. Maybe we'll run out in the backyard and throw the football. If the weather is nice though it looks like, at least when we're recording this right now, it will be raining on Thanksgiving Day, and that's ok. Okay. Too. A good, rainy Thanksgiving Day. Why not? It'll be cold and rainy and sit inside. Maybe we'll build a fire. That's usually when we get our first fire. Fire, yes. I haven't had my chimney swept yet, but the fireplace. You. You do? Yeah, that. I. I think that I've always wanted a fireplace everywhere where I've lived. It's like the first. It's one of the first things I look for. A sunroof in a car, a fireplace in a house. And if I don't have one, I. I feel like I miss it. But then when I have one, it feels like a big pain in the ass. You know what I'm saying? I don't. And I don't have a gas fireplace, so for me, I have to build an actual fire. And it usually gets smoky in the house because it just does and that. And it's annoying. So maybe five times.

Kristen Joy (8:33)

So maybe I'll get out there.

Brian Green (8:34)

Yeah. Fire pit. Why not? What are you gonna have for Thanksgiving? What are you gonna be cooking as we're speaking?

Kristen Joy (8:41)

Well, we're actually just ordering stuff this year and cooking a few. A few things. I usually do a dressing, a cornbread dressing, stuffing. All right, there's that, but we're gonna do turkey, cornbread.

Brian Green (8:54)

Cornbread dressing. Never heard of it. Is that cornbread that you put other stuff in? Yeah. What other stuff do you put in the cornbread?

Kristen Joy (9:01)

Well, it's a whole recipe. It's been handed down from.

Brian Green (9:04)

I know, but, like, what's in it?

Kristen Joy (9:06)

Like, is it just spices, some cornbread, and then there's, like, chicken stock in it, too, and celery, onions, all kinds of stuff.

Brian Green (9:15)

Really? Never heard of that. Okay. All right. All right. It's better than the oyster casserole stuffing I made one time for my. Yeah.

Kristen Joy (9:23)

Oyster.

Brian Green (9:23)

No, raw. Raw oysters in a bucket that I had to, like, slop into. The.

Kristen Joy (9:29)

Some people love it, but. Yeah, no, mine's. Mine's that old tradition with the cornbread. I think it's pretty southern tradition.

Brian Green (9:35)

Okay.

Kristen Joy (9:37)

And then.

Brian Green (9:37)

Yeah.

Kristen Joy (9:38)

And then we're doing Fox brothers turkey, ham, smoked turkey.

Brian Green (9:42)

Huh.

Kristen Joy (9:42)

Sides? Yeah.

Brian Green (9:43)

Wow, that sounds delicious.

Kristen Joy (9:45)

Pies. There's gonna be quite a few pies.

Brian Green (9:48)

I love a good pie. I can put my face in a pie. Da da da da da da. I'll be here all week.

Kristen Joy (9:54)

Apple, pumpkin and pecan.

Brian Green (9:55)

Apple, pumpkin and pec. Yeah. Not a huge fan of Pumpkin or pecan pies, but, man, do I go for an apple pie. I tell you what, Chrissy, that is. That is my jam. Yeah, we'll be doing a lot of the same things. We're going to be doing the traditional. As I mentioned maybe last week, we're going to be doing the traditional Thanksgiving feast.

Kristen Joy (10:12)

Right.

Brian Green (10:12)

For first time in many years. So we'll see how it goes.

Kristen Joy (10:17)

I can't wait to eat.

Brian Green (10:18)

If I don't end up shitting my brains out the next day, I'll consider myself lucky to have survived it. And I'm on a diet, so I don't know how I'm going to handle all this, but I'll. I'll wing it. I'll see how it goes.

Kristen Joy (10:28)

Make your way through it.

Brian Green (10:29)

Yeah, it's going to be hard to go through all of Thanksgiving without a lot of carbohydrates, because that's the best stuff is the carbohydrates, the stuffing, the bread, the sugars, the pie crust. I mean, that's everything you want. So I think I'm just going to have to put the diet on hold. I've lost a pound and a half. I can put another pound back on. Still be net negative. Exactly, negative. That's how I figure. Well, I thought. I. I thought what we would do is do two things. We should talk about some strange Thanksgiving traditions from around the world. Not around the world. Around the United States.

Kristen Joy (11:00)

Around the world. We're the only ones that do it.

Brian Green (11:03)

We are the only ones that do it. There are other versions of Thanksgiving in other countries, but it's not this day. And they don't say Thanksgiving. But then also talk about some of the more odd Christmas classic movies that some people might be getting into this evening, because that's a nut. That's one tradition that I know for sure, besides the parade and the kennel club and the tradition of going around the table and giving than for a few things, we will always be watching a Christmas movie that night and probably listen to some Christmas music. That'll be the first day that I turn on the Christmas channel on Sirius because I can't deal with it before then and. But after Thanksgiving, like after we eat Thanksgiving meal, which is usually earlier in the afternoon, I do feel comfortable turning on the Christmas music. Yeah, that's the time. That's when I feel it's appropriate.

Kristen Joy (11:49)

The start.

Brian Green (11:49)

All right, here we go. You ready?

Kristen Joy (11:51)

I'm ready.

Brian Green (11:52)

Let's talk about some Thanksgiving traditions from around the country and we'll see if we want to pick any of these up. See, it's perfect for you because you don't have any Thanksgiving traditions. So maybe you'll listen back to this episode on Thanksgiving day and you and Jeff and the girls will decide. Let's do that.

Kristen Joy (12:07)

Yeah.

Brian Green (12:07)

Like the Thanksgiving gobble wobble, Chrissy. Where some towns and some places they host fun runs where our participants will dress up as turkeys or wear Thanksgiving themed costumes. I've heard of this combining fitness with holiday spirit. Hopefully in a funny way, I have seen the gobble wobble pictures. As a matter of fact, I see them on Facebook. Usually from older ladies on next door. They're talking about a gobble wobble that's close to my house. I don't think I would actually go to a gobble wobble, but I would look at pictures of a gobble wobble.

Kristen Joy (12:41)

I've gone on a walk before on Thanksgiving day.

Brian Green (12:43)

Yes, I've been on many a gobble wobble, but it had nothing to do with Thanksgiving. And usually after I drank lots of gobble wobbles, I had sex with a girl who did the gobble wobble on my dick one time. There you go. Oh, okay. The turkey trot. Of course, the food fight. A family has a tradition of staging light hearted fun food fights.

Kristen Joy (13:05)

Food fight.

Brian Green (13:06)

Yeah. And calling it the turkey trot. I don't know why they call it the turkey trot, but they turn the conclusion of their meals into messy, laughter filled events by having a light hearted food fight. Now. Ah. I am way too OCD for any of that.

Kristen Joy (13:20)

That would give me anxiety.

Brian Green (13:21)

Yeah.

Kristen Joy (13:22)

Of cleaning it up.

Brian Green (13:23)

Yes. I would do a food fight in the shower.

Kristen Joy (13:27)

Or outside.

Brian Green (13:28)

Or outside. That's right. And then my kids would directly go into a dog bath or something like that. I would have buckets of hot water ready to douse them. I. There's no way that I would encourage a food fight in the south. I'm not that kind of dad. When the kids break out the markers or the paints or something like that, Astro does a bit more tolerance for stuff like that. But when they get into like those senso games where it's like mud or play doh or stuff like that, I'm always hovering, I hover. I'm like, ah, don't get it on the. Ah, don't do that. Ah, don't get it on Blue. And blue is the one who always ends up the messiest of all the children. I always end up watching Blue because she thinks inevitably everything's food. And oftentimes now, my. You Know who gets into a turkey trot food fight every night is my. My youngest with Blue.

Kristen Joy (14:14)

Yeah.

Brian Green (14:15)

Because the two of them are thick as they are. They. They love each other. And the reason why loves her is because she feeds her everything that she eats. And my daughter just thinks it's like, I don't know, like a pet dragon or something. She tries to ride her around and grabs her ears and, you know, sticks her hand in her mouth. It's like, it's a lot of fun for my daughter. But what she does do is if she doesn't like something to eat, she'll throw it under the table at the dog, but the dog just stands right directly under her. So most of the food ends up in the dog's long hair, not fur hair. So that dog has had more baths than I have in the last two weeks, and it's driving me crazy. Thank Thanksgiving gratitude rocks. Chrissy, you could take this one up.

Kristen Joy (15:00)

Oh, the gratitude rock.

Brian Green (15:01)

The gratitude rock. Some families will pass around a rock or a stone during dinner. Each person takes a turn sharing something they're thankful for. It's a tactile way to encourage gratitude. But then it can lead to some awkward moments. Yes, there are family members that will be at my Thanksgiving that I would throw the rock to while they're not looking.

Kristen Joy (15:20)

Your turn.

Brian Green (15:21)

Your turn. This one's for all the immigrants. We're all immigrants. Thanksgiving rock. I'll be God damned if I'm going to bring a stone to any of the dinners with my children. There's no way I know what would happen. Pine cone turkey crafting. And this is too. I'm not too crafty, so I wouldn't be interested in this. Instead of traditional decorations, some families make pine cone turkeys using googly eyes, feather, and ridiculous materials. The resulting crafts can be both adorable and absurd. Who wrote this? Marie Claire.

Kristen Joy (15:56)

I mean, honestly, I think there's. I've seen some school kids bring home those pine cone things.

Brian Green (16:02)

Yep.

Kristen Joy (16:03)

I think I feel like I maybe did it too.

Brian Green (16:05)

Yes. The hand turkeys.

Kristen Joy (16:06)

The hand turkey. For sure.

Brian Green (16:07)

Pine cone turkeys. My kids will bring things home. And I made this for you.

Kristen Joy (16:12)

Yeah.

Brian Green (16:13)

Which I know means I was forced to make this for you, daddy, but I still love it. I have a whole collection of it in one of my drawers. I keep all those things that my kids.

Kristen Joy (16:22)

Well, that made me think, because I was recently cleaning out a box of old stuff that my parents had kept and had given me, and I found some of those old crafts.

Brian Green (16:31)

Oh, you did?

Kristen Joy (16:32)

Of my own. Oh, and then I threw them away.

Brian Green (16:35)

Yeah, let's. Who really needs the. I. I was, you know, the line leader today. Certificate from third grade.

Kristen Joy (16:44)

I know. I found so much stuff like that.

Brian Green (16:46)

I don't even want to keep the yearbooks. Of course, you know, I went on.

Kristen Joy (16:48)

The show, I just threw away some yearbooks.

Brian Green (16:50)

Oh, you did your own, huh? Yeah. Look at you.

Kristen Joy (16:54)

I was like, it's time. Why do I need my old middle school yearbook?

Brian Green (16:57)

I don't. I was looking. I. You know, as the calcium has cleared my brain, I'm getting these memory flashbacks that I just haven't. Things I haven't remembered in years or I don't know, because I didn't remember them. So I'm remembering them like they're fresh memories. It's really weird, actually. They pop up. And I remembered a girl that I had dated briefly in high school, but she went to a different high school. So I went online, I remembered her name, and I found her yearbook from a different high school online.

Kristen Joy (17:25)

Oh, yeah, they have yearbooks.

Brian Green (17:27)

Yeah, it's all online now. What do you need it for? But here's Brian two years ago, bitching and complaining about every yearbook that we have to keep. And then I need a yearbook, and.

Kristen Joy (17:35)

I can't find it, of course.

Brian Green (17:37)

The turkey dance competition, where people get to. Each family member provides their best. Googly, woogly, wobble dance in front of the others. And then they go ahead and you judge it. And then maybe there's a prize at the end. I. We like dancing here at the house. Yeah, yeah, we. Oftentimes you will find us at the end of a night. We were getting into this thing called a brain break. Do you know what this is? Okay, you don't, because you have to have small children, but on YouTube, there's endless brain breaks. They're little games that you play on YouTube. So it'll be like. Like emoji mashups. Like, try and guess the movie based on these three emojis. Guess the name of the movie or who name the voice of this character. Or they can be physical, like run and jump over the hurdles as they come towards you. Right? And then there's, like, a little dancing competitions, too. So we will often either be playing our own music and dancing, or one of the kids will act like they're the singer and they'll put on a show complete with popcorn and lights and security in the whole nine yards. It's very cute. I love. I've recorded a couple of them. I'll show you. But. So I think Turkey dance might be the one thing that maybe one of the things that we pick up from there. What about Thanksgiving karaoke? Oh, there's a good one. I like that one. Half song. Hoadly can get into Thanksgiving karaoke.

Kristen Joy (18:59)

Yes.

Brian Green (19:00)

I don't know.

Kristen Joy (19:00)

I've never really been a karaoke person. Have you? I see the fun in it, but.

Brian Green (19:05)

No, I. I haven't.

Kristen Joy (19:07)

I don't seek it out.

Brian Green (19:08)

I've actually probably only done karaoke three or four times in my entire life.

Kristen Joy (19:12)

Maybe I've done it a couple.

Brian Green (19:13)

One time, we rented an entire karaoke room down on Buford Highway. They had this very famous karaoke place, and we rented an entire carry. We had dinner at the place, and then they. We rented one of those karaoke rooms. Probably the size of this studio. Yeah. Big TV on the wall.

Kristen Joy (19:28)

They're all over the place in Japan, right?

Brian Green (19:30)

Four or five microphones. Yeah. Now they have two or three of them here in Atlanta. Four or five microphones in the room. And then, you know, you pick the song. Literally, you could type in the song and it shows up and it's got the lyrics and everybody takes the turn. You can. They can videotape it for you and all this other stuff. It was really very interesting, but I found that the. I had to be really inebriated to get in fully into it.

Kristen Joy (19:50)

Right. There's gotta be some libations going on.

Brian Green (19:52)

And then the only. The only. The time that I really rem Doing karaoke was live karaoke down at. What was that place in the Highlands. The Highlander.

Kristen Joy (20:02)

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Brian Green (20:03)

At the Highlander.

Kristen Joy (20:04)

Yeah, yeah. That was a fun one. I didn't get it. You got up on the stage. That's where they have a band.

Brian Green (20:08)

Karaoke.

Kristen Joy (20:09)

They have a band on stage with you?

Brian Green (20:10)

Yeah, I put my name in there. I had this friend, like a friend for a minute, you know, one of those guys you, like, spend some person you spend some time with for like a month or two, and then you never talk to him again. Not because you dislike him, just because. Whatever. We all move on. And he was an opera singer, like a trained opera singer. Wow. And he took me to my very first rock and roll karaoke at the Highlander. And we went. And he was like the first guy to rush up and put his name in there. And he sang some version of a Queen song very operatically. It. Listen, it wasn't my thing, but it was very. He was very talented, and the crowd appreciated the effort that he put into it. He was very operatic about his singing, like, dramatic and operatic and kind of like. Like, you know, a lot of trills. And I put my name in there. Think he goes, put your name in there. Because it's likely you won't get. You won't get picked. Like, there's only 10 people a night that get to go up there or 12 or whatever it is. And I was like, okay.

Kristen Joy (21:05)

Meddlesome.

Brian Green (21:06)

Meddlesome.

Kristen Joy (21:06)

Is that the name of it?

Brian Green (21:07)

I think so.

Kristen Joy (21:08)

Yeah.

Brian Green (21:08)

Yeah. Meddlesome karaoke. And so I put my name up there. And.

Kristen Joy (21:12)

And you got in.

Brian Green (21:13)

I. And I got in. And I.

Kristen Joy (21:14)

What did you say?

Brian Green (21:15)

Saying Guns and Roses, Sweet Child of Mine, which is about six registers too high for my voice, even when I like. And this was.

Kristen Joy (21:26)

Did you get to choose, or were you just thrown.

Brian Green (21:28)

No, you get to choose. You can choose. Yeah. I think if I'm not mistaken, maybe they pick. You make you pick three songs. But the band was spot on. And the guy who was playing guitar hit every lick.

Kristen Joy (21:39)

Yeah.

Brian Green (21:40)

And I was just. I was singing in a lower octave because I couldn't. So I started high. Yeah.

Studio Assistant (21:47)

Wow.

Brian Green (21:48)

Wow. Woe, sweet child I end up sounding like a bad Axl Rose impression. So I brought it down a register, the second verse, and everybody was thrown off by that, including me. And then I was like, whoa, whoa, whoa Sweet child of mine so now I'm doing baritone. Sweet child of mine it did not go well. I mean, people clap. And there was even one girl who I think, like, kind of took a liking to me in the front row, but, you know. Yeah, yeah. She was drunk. Listen, if I got a second shot at it, I would do something more in my register. Like maybe a Pearl Jam or something song like that. Like something a little more. But I don't know. I just. It was the first thing that came to mind. I saw the list, and I was like, oh, sweet child of mine Whatever. I think I picked Sweet child of Mine. Wait, I remember Sweet Child of Mine and then Alice in Chains, man in the Box. If I don't. If I'm not getting this. Incorrect. I chose those two songs, and when I got up, the guy was like, we're gonna do Sweet Child. And I was like, oh, okay. And then he was like. He was like, what key do you need it in? And I go, the natural key. The natural key. And he looked at me like, c. And I was like, yeah, C. The magical key. High C. I need a high C. The natural key. I meant to say the original key, but I said the natural key. Now, this is all coming back to me. I love my new brain. It's working so well. It is. Yeah. And I got up there, and I was so sweaty and, like, scared, and I was gonna.

Kristen Joy (23:27)

Because it's like you're at a concert. I mean.

Brian Green (23:30)

Oh, there was, like, 200 people in the room.

Kristen Joy (23:32)

I had a guy take me on a date there.

Brian Green (23:34)

Yeah. Yes.

Kristen Joy (23:35)

To go watch.

Brian Green (23:35)

Yes. It was packed. When and when it first started, it was like you people waited outside to get in. So it was like, it's a smaller room. Thin, long room. And there was a couple hundred people in there, and they were all getting into it until Brian slaughtered Sweet Child of Mine. It was in C. It was in high C. But I was in Lucy. She's got eyes of the bluest guys. And if they have a breeze.

Kristen Joy (24:09)

Nice.

Brian Green (24:11)

She's got eyes of the biggest guys. And if they. Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Kristen Joy (24:33)

That's all you needed?

Brian Green (24:35)

Oh, listen. This is a confidence booster of epic proportions. I did not take him up on the. That's probably why we weren't friends anymore, because he said, let's go back to meddlesome. And I goes, why? So you could show me up again? No, thanks, Jack hole. You embarrassed me. All right. Hope you're having a great Thanksgiving. We'll be back in just a minute with more fun and shenanigans on this holiday. On this. On the kickoff of Christmas.

Studio Assistant (25:06)

In case you guys were wondering, I am currently trapped in the closet in the studio being forced to record liner after liner, and I never get to leave. So help me by following us on Instagram at the commercial break and on TikTok @TCB podcast and go to our website, tcbpodcast.com for more information about Brian and Chrissy and access to our massive catalog of video and audio episodes. Now, please text us at 212-4333, TCB. And tell Brian and Chrissy to let me out of the closet.

Brian Green (25:40)

Oh, man. So, all right, so a little bit of house cleaning. So the 12 days of TCB coming up December 13th through the 25th. We hope you join us. That's fresh episode. Fresh episodes every day. We're supposed to be here in the next three episodes because I don't know why I agreed to that, but all right, who cares? We'll get through it. But for the 12 days of TCB, we're going to be bringing back some of our fav content, some of our favorite videos, some of our favorite video video creators out there, like Frankie P. And the Puas and Teresa Caputo Mountain Monsters. You know, all the regular, all the usuals that we've done over the years that have really become kind of staples here at the commercial break and favorites of yours, if you've got one you want to throw in the mix, if you feel like there's a segment or a content idea that we had or something that we did that just deserves a second look, go ahead and send it to us. 212-4333. TCB. Help a brother out.

Kristen Joy (26:31)

Yeah, if you can remember it.

Brian Green (26:33)

Yeah, if you can remember it. Right. Actually, I can remember. I'm up to like, I got nine days done. I just. Those last three are really stumping me. I've got. There's. I'm trying to decide between a few things. So I figure if the audience tells me, then maybe it'll point me in a direction. Okay. All right.

Kristen Joy (26:49)

So maybe maybe listening to TCB on Thanksgiving will become one of those weird Thanksgiving traditions.

Brian Green (26:56)

Yes. Because it's always going to be on a Thursday. And as far as I know, we're contractually obligated at least for another year to do this on Thursdays. So there you go. Maybe it might be. And maybe we'll end up doing the Thanksgiving Day shows live. Wouldn't that be cool? Maybe your Thanksgiving Chrissy will be driving up here and. And we do a Thanksgiving show live.

Kristen Joy (27:19)

That'll be the new tradition.

Brian Green (27:20)

Hey, listen, you know, it could be worse. I guess we could be, you know, going to work at Target when they open at 7pm or something.

Kristen Joy (27:27)

Did all those stores still do that?

Brian Green (27:29)

No, I think a lot of them backed off.

Kristen Joy (27:30)

Yeah. Because of online, I think.

Brian Green (27:32)

Yeah. I think most of them at least backed off of it enough where they said, okay, we'll open very early the next morning, like, you know, 5am or something like that. Which was not, not unusual anyway, because Black Friday, most stores open very early. But I do think there's a couple hangers on. Like, I think Walmart opens at midnight or something like that. But shame on. I mean, honestly, let your. Let everyone there listen. The. What? You know why Thanksgiving is also one of my favorite days of the year? Because you can go out of the house in Atlanta and not get stuck in traffic. Christmas day, Thanksgiving Day, July 4, at least until about 6pm July 4, New Year's Day. Those are days when you can drive in Atlanta like it used to be back in the early 90s, just not a lot of people on the road.

Kristen Joy (28:15)

So maybe I do want to come up here and do a show.

Brian Green (28:17)

Yeah. I mean, listen, if there's any day to come to a show, Thanksgiving day might be it. Right? So who knows? That's next year. We're talking about this year. All right, so more weird Thanksgiving traditions from around the country. Secret Thanksgiving Santa. Oh, that's an interesting one. Similar to secret Santa, some groups do exchange small gifts. A silly little gifts with a Thanksgiving twist, like a turkey shaped kitchen gadget, a funny apron, or, you know, I'm just gonna throw this one in. A turkey shaped dildo. Chrissy. A little turkey head that goes like this on your clit.

Kristen Joy (28:48)

Okay.

Brian Green (28:49)

Oh, I gotta tell you about something. I'm not gonna say the name of this, but while we're on this turkey d though thing, there is a, a potential sponsor coming on the commercial break and how we, our network sells the sponsor, they vet the sponsor, they either pitch them or the sponsor comes and says, we want to be on these podcasts and then they communicate with us. I won't say how, but they communicate with it. Not that it's a secret. I just don't want to get into every little inch of it. Yeah, I mean, I'm not saying how because it's. Who cares anyway, right? They communicate with us and they say, hey, would you accept this sponsor on the show? And we say yes. But we have learned over the years to be a little bit, just a little bit choosy about who comes on the show because there's a lot of sponsors who've been on the show. We kind of have this rule, like, if we won't use it or don't use it ourselves or don't find it to be valuable, we won't do it. And that includes certain categories of products. But then also. So you just want to, like, even if it's a product you might or might not use, you want to make sure the company itself is like one that you want to be butted up against.

Kristen Joy (29:53)

Right. Associated with.

Brian Green (29:55)

Associated with. So we had this company that, that wanted to advertise on the show or their vetting. And it was like, you know, go here. If you would do a personal endorsement of the product. Check it out. It's a website. And that website is dedicated to teaching women and men how to give women an orgasm in a very clinical, not pornographic way. Right.

Kristen Joy (30:20)

Okay.

Brian Green (30:20)

So I was thinking, okay, drawings and stuff like that. You know, you have drawings and they. Lots of words and, you know, maybe some infographics or something like that. And it said, click here for sample of product. And when I clicked there, it was the lady from the homepage, which I thought was stock photography. It was her. And she was giving a step by step instructional tutorial on how to give herself an orgasm in highly graphic detail. Really, at close up shots, multiple camera angles, talking the entire time while she's doing this to herself in a very instructional way.

Kristen Joy (30:56)

Wow.

Brian Green (30:58)

First of all, I thought, wow, yeah. That is really. She really just laid it all out there. Literally laid it all out there. Spread eagle every. You know, where the sun don't shine. The sun was shining. And first of all, second of all, what a great fucking idea. Like, not a porn movie where you're trying to guess exactly how everyone's getting off. Because usually no one's getting off. They're just used. You know, there's. Yeah, they're doing this for the camera.

Kristen Joy (31:24)

Right. They're acting.

Brian Green (31:25)

But then like a real woman showing you how she gets herself off in a manner that is instructional. So that if. I guess if you were dating her specifically, then you would know. It would be like a tutorial. It's like a. A. It's like a map to have fun. It's like a map to make sure that everyone's having a good time in bed. I loved it. I thought it was incredible. And I hope they come on as a sponsor because I will. Absolutely. That and that they had the four women part and then they had the four men part, which teaches the men how to make sure.

Kristen Joy (31:57)

This is great.

Brian Green (31:58)

This is awesome. This is what the world needs. Because if a woman can have an orgasm like a man can, meaning most of the time, then doesn't everybody feel better?

Kristen Joy (32:07)

Chrissy, Everybody does.

Brian Green (32:08)

I do. I feel better. I can't do it. But, you know, if I could learn how, then everything would be great. And thanks for tuning in.

Kristen Joy (32:16)

Thank you for everyone.

Brian Green (32:16)

Thanks for tuning into the family edition on Thanksgiving of the commercial break. Maybe this won't be a holiday tradition for anybody unless you're single or your family doesn't love you. All right. Thankful for the weird is another tradition. Instead of doing the usual gratitude, some families like to turn the expression for the most for the most ridiculous thing they can think of. Like, I'm thankful for my cat's judgmental stare. That's a good one.

Kristen Joy (32:48)

That is a good one.

Brian Green (32:49)

Sounds more like an Instagram post than a Thanksgiving tradition. But I like it. I like it. I'm with it. Guess the turkey weight. Oh, this is a fun one.

Kristen Joy (32:56)

I've heard of that.

Brian Green (32:58)

It's a contest where family members guess the weight of the turkey before it's cooked. The winner gets to carve the winner gets to carve the turkey. How is that winning? I don't want to carve the turkey. You know, my dad, as long as I can remember, has always carved the turkey. Of course, when we have a turkey or the ham or whatever, and only a couple times have I done that myself for whatever reason, because we were hosting or whatever. I'm not good at it, it seems. It's a lot of work and. And I'd rather just sit and watch football and be served. I mean, who wouldn't, right?

Kristen Joy (33:28)

Yeah.

Brian Green (33:28)

But I think that, you know, I've known a couple of men in my life who really take this very seriously. Like the turkey carving, the meat cutting is their job. They know how to do it, they'll do it. Well, I don't really, I don't take any pride in that. I don't take any pride in much, but I certainly don't take any pride in my carving skills. The Thanksgiving leftover Olympics. After the feast, the families compete in the most absurd challenges using leftover food, like a relay race with mashed potatoes or a turkey toss with leftover turkey legs. This is another food fight thing that's not going to be happening at my house. But I will say, when we were having traditional Thanksgiving feasts, one of my favorite, favorite leftover meals was the following. You take a little bit of oil and you fry up the leftover turkey. You just give, you put it on the skillet, you fry it, make it a little bit crispy. Right. Take stuffing. You. We like the, the more like generalized like Stove top stuffing type thing, like bread stuffing. Right, right. With some spices and some garlic, a little bit of celery. And then you heat that up in the microwave. You put that either in a hoagie roll or between two pieces of sourdough bread with a ton of mustard. I mean, just like mustard it up. And that is the world's best Thanksgiving leftover sandwich.

Kristen Joy (34:51)

Chrissy, for you.

Brian Green (34:52)

For me.

Kristen Joy (34:53)

Okay.

Brian Green (34:53)

For me and for other people that I have made it for. They seem to like it. So.

Kristen Joy (34:57)

Okay.

Brian Green (34:59)

My kids mainly. No, I'm kidding. Ooh, I like this one. A Thanksgiving roast session. Instead of sharing gratitude, family members take turn roasting each other with lighthearted jokes and playfully teasing. I love this idea. This.

Kristen Joy (35:15)

You love a roast.

Brian Green (35:16)

I do love a good rose. I mean, I don't like, I don't like some of the more mean, mean, mean spirited roasts, but I do love watching a good roast. It, it does feel like fun to me to watch people knock each the knees and man, when I could I roast some of my family members. I mean, if they were. If they had a sense of humor.

Kristen Joy (35:37)

Why don't you start that? This.

Brian Green (35:38)

Because I think that some of my family members don't have a sense of humor. Even if they'll laugh in the moment, they'll be upset about it for the entire year. And then I'll. I'll spend the next year saying, I'm sorry, I'll have to get him a better Christmas present, which cost more money, which doesn't do me any good. So there you go. Yeah, dude. What was the other one? Thanksgiving time capsule, which I do like. I like this idea of taking stuff from the year that you're thankful for, writing it down, taking little, you know, little whatever trinkets or stuff that you collected over the year, put it in a time capsule, bury it in the backyard to be dug up by whoever's building the next ancestors many, many, many, many eons from now. Yes. The next person who. The next gentrification run around this side is half like that. Oh, Thanksgiving charades. Instead of traditional charades, family members act out Thanksgiving related phrases, foods, or traditions, leading to hilarious interpretations and misunderstandings. Who wrote this? And misunderstandings. It sounds like it. I don't know. It sounds like an 80s. Like a promo for an 80s sitcom.

Kristen Joy (36:48)

Yeah.

Brian Green (36:49)

It leads to hilarious misinformation, misinterpretations, and misunderstandings. Every Tuesday at 8. Thanksgiving charade.

Kristen Joy (36:58)

I like the idea of a game.

Brian Green (37:00)

I do. We. We will play games a lot in our house, too. Maybe that'll be something we do this year. How about the wishbone challenge? Ever broken a wishbone? Your dad used to do that.

Kristen Joy (37:08)

Yeah.

Brian Green (37:09)

Here, kids, come grab the wishbone with me. Yeah, I love that wishbone. Every. I love that wishbone. Never once did a wish come true, but, man, did I love that wishbone.

Kristen Joy (37:18)

It's just the. The wish of the wishbone.

Brian Green (37:20)

Yeah, it's the. The. It's the. It's the hopeful nature of the wishbone. You know, it's the thought that maybe something would. Maybe something would break your way for once. But alas, it was never to be. I like some of these Thanksgiving traditions. I'm. I think karaoke, dancing, maybe that. Maybe that time capsule. Shit. I don't know where I'd bury it, but I'd be. And then when do you. Would you open it back up, like 10 years from now? I don't know either.

Kristen Joy (37:49)

That's one. And then you're gonna throw it away, so I don't know.

Brian Green (37:52)

Yeah, I thought, I'm doing my own.

Kristen Joy (37:54)

Time capsule purging right now.

Brian Green (37:56)

Yes. You're throwing it away, never to be found again by anybody. Yes. Some guy in India is going to float up on the Indian Ocean and some guy in India is going to be like, what's this ten foot photograph of a woman? So I thought about doing a TCB time capsule one time.

Kristen Joy (38:14)

Like, yeah, we talked about that.

Brian Green (38:16)

Yeah. Like taking little clips of some of our best ups. But then I really thought to myself, myself, no one gives a. No one. Not a. Not even me. I don't even give a. All right, let's take a break and we'll talk about some holiday movies that you can watch tonight after you get done with your.

Kristen Joy (38:32)

I need a new one.

Brian Green (38:33)

Okay. I'm gonna give you some ideas. Okay. All right, we'll be back.

Brian Green (39:38)

I'm thankful this year I don't live with my mom.

Kristen Joy (39:39)

Yeah, there you go.

Brian Green (39:42)

We're watching that show Mama's Boy. Mama's Boy. And we'll talk more about that tomorrow on the show. But. Okay. All right. Movies, Movies. Let's talk about movies. Holiday movies. So what holiday movies will you be watching this evening? What's one. Do you have a go to that you guys will. Will watch for sure.

Kristen Joy (40:01)

Well, not, I mean, not specifically. Maybe on Thanksgiving night, but. But throughout the season. I mean, I have a few go tos.

Brian Green (40:08)

Yeah.

Kristen Joy (40:09)

Christmas vacation. Obvious, of course.

Brian Green (40:11)

Number one. Number one on the rotation.

Kristen Joy (40:14)

Another one has become number one for me. And that's the night before.

Brian Green (40:18)

Oh, the night before. Yeah.

Kristen Joy (40:20)

It's really fun.

Brian Green (40:20)

Yes. That's a good one. I've got that on the list here. Okay, I'm going.

Kristen Joy (40:23)

Bridget Jones Diary.

Brian Green (40:25)

Bridget Jones Diary, huh? Okay.

Kristen Joy (40:28)

It starts at a Christmas time.

Brian Green (40:29)

All right. All right.

Kristen Joy (40:30)

I love that movie. And. And I'm trying to think what else? I mean, there's. There's some that always kind of pop up. But I was thinking the other day, I'm looking for a new one.

Brian Green (40:38)

Okay.

Kristen Joy (40:39)

This year.

Brian Green (40:39)

What's that? I'm gonna give you a couple good ones and then a couple silly ones. What is that movie? The. The British one. The British holiday movie where everyone. Oh, no.

Kristen Joy (40:49)

Love, actually.

Brian Green (40:50)

Yeah.

Kristen Joy (40:50)

That is one of. That's on the rotation.

Brian Green (40:51)

I do like that. I'm. It's a sentimental favorite. I love the Family Stone. I know there's. This divides a lot of people, but. The Family Stone with Sarah Jessica Parker.

Kristen Joy (41:01)

Yeah.

Brian Green (41:02)

And Luke Wilson and. Oh, what's her name. Yeah. It's so heart. It's touching. It's a touching movie. It's got funny parts in it. It's absolutely ridiculous. But I find it to be. The first time I watched it, I was just like, oh, my God, that's a great movie. And now every year, I have to catch the Family Stone at least once. Christmas Vacation, of course. Elf is a classic. A Christmas story that is reserved for New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. I will probably watch A Christmas Story at least four times over the course that.

Kristen Joy (41:33)

That one channel plays it over and over.

Brian Green (41:34)

TBS or now it's TNT, actually plays that. 24 hours of a Christmas Story. Die Hard is another Christmas movie. Yeah. And some people have argued. No, it's not. Of course it is. It's. It's on Christmas Eve. That's when they're having their big party at the Nakatomi Plaza, if you remember correctly. Nakatomi Plaza.

Kristen Joy (41:53)

I don't have to watch that one every year. But it's a good one.

Brian Green (41:56)

It's a good one. All right, well, here's. Let me throw out a couple of new ideas for you, Chrissy. And who knows? Maybe one of these will stick. Santa Claus Conquers the Martians. Santa Claus Conquers the Martians. It's a cult classic where Martians kidnap Santa to bring joy to their children, resulting in a delightfully odd mix of sci fi and holiday cheer. Movie was made in 1964. It is considered a cult classic. And I'll tell you what, I have watched this movie and it is highly strange. Remember we were watching. Yes. What's her name?

Kristen Joy (42:33)

Elvira.

Brian Green (42:33)

Elvira we were watch old episodes of Elvira. I wonder where that channel went. It's somewhere I have for it. Yeah, there's a channel that we now get on the cable service that I have that at play reruns a lot of the Elvira Friday nights. Like the Elvira at night or whatever it was called. Elvira was this famous Halloween like character, like a witch like character with huge tatas that would have them just boldly sticking out. Dare, Dare to. To dare to. Beware for the nipples slipping out. Never did. But everyone was waiting for it to happen. And then she would do these. She would run these.

Kristen Joy (43:08)

Commentate.

Brian Green (43:09)

She would. Yeah, in between the commercial breaks she would commentate on these sci fi and horror movies. Like really cheesy crazy horror movies. And Chrissy and I were getting the biggest kick for like a week. We were just watching this non stop and we were getting a kick out of it. This would fit right in there.

Kristen Joy (43:25)

It would.

Brian Green (43:26)

You would. Would like this one. Jack Frost. Does anybody remember that movie?

Kristen Joy (43:29)

Jack Frost. Is that a horror?

Brian Green (43:31)

Michael Keaton.

Kristen Joy (43:32)

No, no, Michael.

Brian Green (43:34)

Jack Frost is with Michael Keaton. He plays a father of a boy who's on a hockey team and they are the best of buds and the father is in a band and the band gets called away on Christmas Eve to play this big gig out in the middle of snowy somewhere. And unfortunately the car goes off the cliff and the father does not survive. This is like right at the beginning of the movie. And here's why I remember this movie. I know you're like, oh my God, like, why would I want to watch this? Well, it. You might. Some people might be sensitive to this because of course it's a. It's a terrible tragedy that happens. It's handled in a light enough way. But here's why it's very sad, is because after the father dies, the original Landslide song by Fleetwood Mac is played during this movie at that moment. And if you don't cry during the Landslide song and Jack Frost, you just don't have a heart. I mean, I swear to God. But then luckily, Michael Keaton's character comes back to life as a snowman and teaches.

Kristen Joy (44:36)

I don't think I've ever seen this movie.

Brian Green (44:38)

Teaches old Jimmy how to be a good hockey player. It's. It's a heartwarming tale for the whole family. It's really a ridiculous premise, but it's kind of cute and. And I've seen it.

Kristen Joy (44:49)

Maybe I'll watch it.

Brian Green (44:50)

Yeah. Jack Frost, 1996. Jack Frost. Frost. I think It's a Disney movie, if I'm not mistaken. How about Gremlins?

Kristen Joy (44:55)

Polar Express is another one that I watch.

Brian Green (44:58)

I always found Polar Express to be a little weird for my liking.

Kristen Joy (45:02)

Yeah, you didn't like it?

Brian Green (45:03)

No, it's a little ethereal. I don't like the way that the characters look. It's like early cgi, early computer animation. But my kids watched it last year and one of them really liked it. So I imagine we'll be watching again. I don't have anything against it. It's just not my favorite movie. Gremlins.

Kristen Joy (45:17)

Gremlins is a definite.

Brian Green (45:18)

Not. Is a Christmas movie, for sure.

Kristen Joy (45:22)

I. I just watched that movie a little while back. I was like, old Gremlins. Let me watch it again. And it is. It's funny.

Brian Green (45:28)

It's a wacky movie, man. And we. And if you were alive at the time. Yeah, the mogwai, they.

Kristen Joy (45:36)

What did they go in, like, the back of a little store I know, Buy the secretive.

Brian Green (45:42)

And they talk. They speak English for some reason. And then they get wet and they turn into Gremlin. They replicate. Yeah, Spike. And he's causing. He's mischievous and causes all kind of trouble and murders people. It's a fun movie for all the kids. If you were alive when Gremlins came out, Gremlins took the world by storm.

Kristen Joy (46:03)

Huge.

Brian Green (46:04)

For about six months. And then, you know, I don't know.

Kristen Joy (46:06)

There'S like a Gremlins 2 and.

Brian Green (46:08)

Yeah, Gremlins 3, I think. I think there's a lot of Gremlins movies. Oh, here, let me throw one in there. Rambo.

Kristen Joy (46:15)

Ram.

Brian Green (46:16)

Rambo, I think, is set during Christmas time when he walks into that town and the sheriff doesn't want him to stay. And him and the sheriff get into the argument that makes Rambo go underground and start killing all the police officers. It's really a ridiculous movie. But Rambo, I think, while not. Maybe not a Christmas movie specifically, is certainly set in snowy times.

Kristen Joy (46:41)

Okay, there you go.

Brian Green (46:43)

All right. Nightmare Before There you go. Or the Night before the Night Before There you go. That's a great movie. Starring Seth Rogen. It's all about drug use and a big party. It's a lot of fun. And it celebrates, you know, not just Christmas, but the Jewish culture also. It's a lot of fun. That movie is a lot of fun. It has become. I don't know if it's become like a cult classic for me, me. But it is one of those movies that I. If I. I watch it every year, I'M I'm happy about it.

Kristen Joy (47:11)

Yeah.

Brian Green (47:12)

Also Harold and Kumar's Christmas. White Christmas or something White. I don't know what it is. It's their holiday movie. That is fantastic. Also that is really, really funny. Neil Patrick Harris takes a wonderful turn in that movie. The Nightmare Before Christmas could be a Halloween, could be a Christmas movie. It's up to you decides on how you look at it. My kids love watching this during Halloween, but it's also kind of a Christmas movie too. Hence the name. Nightmare Before Christmas.

Kristen Joy (47:39)

Yeah.

Brian Green (47:41)

A Christmas Horror Story is an anthology film that combines various horror stories including a killer Santa and Krampus into a holiday theme themed fright fest. I remember watching this and it's very interesting. It was made like in 2016. 17. It's very interesting. So if you want a little bit of, of a fright with your holiday movies, then this might be one you get to sink your teeth into. Chrissy. Elf, of course. Everybody loves Elf.

Kristen Joy (48:07)

Course.

Brian Green (48:08)

Except for somebody I know who didn't like my wife the first time she saw Elf. She's like, I love this movie. And I'm like, how can you not? And who doesn't like Elf? I think it's my stepmom that doesn't like Elf. She's like, oh, I hate that movie. And I'm like, elf? How do you hate elf? Elf. How can anyone hate elf? How can anyone hate Will Ferrell walking into the coffee shop and saying, you did it. Congratulations. World's best coffee. That's the best. If you really want to throw back at something terrible but terribly fun to watch, watch the Heart, the Star wars holiday special from 1978.

Kristen Joy (48:46)

Really?

Brian Green (48:46)

Yes. All the characters make a great turn. It's like an ABC Saturday night special or something. You can find it on YouTube. It's a crazy wacky holiday special with all the, you know, the, all the guys from the bar. Yeah.

Kristen Joy (49:08)

Space bar.

Brian Green (49:08)

Yeah. You gotta check it out. It's really good.

Kristen Joy (49:11)

There's always to the Rudolph. The, the original one. Is that from like the 60s?

Brian Green (49:17)

Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.

Kristen Joy (49:18)

Yeah.

Brian Green (49:19)

Which you.

Kristen Joy (49:20)

Misfit Toys.

Brian Green (49:21)

Yeah. The Land of Misfit Toys. That's right. One of my favorite movies. The Land of Misfit Toys. You, I think can only buy Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer on one platform. And I believe, if I'm not mistaken right now, that is hulu. It's like 1999 to buy it. It's not worth the 1999. Even though it is a classic and everybody loves it who grew up in that time. You can Also find it. And I'm not encouraging you to, you know, not pay the creators, but you can also find it on YouTube. So if you want to save yourself a couple of bucks before you buy it, go ahead and Google it first. Bad Santa.

Kristen Joy (49:58)

Bad Santa is a good one.

Brian Green (50:00)

I do like Bad Santa with Billy Bob Thornton. That's a good one. The Ref. The Ref is a great movie with Dennis. Not Dennis Miller. I want to. What? I want to say Dennis Miller.

Kristen Joy (50:14)

Dennis Quaid.

Brian Green (50:14)

No, not Dennis Quaid played Dennis o'. Leary. Yeah. Is it Dennis o' Leary or Kevin? Who's that guy? Now, why am I. Just hold on one second. I'm gonna get this right. Because this is a great movie.

Kristen Joy (50:29)

The Ref.

Brian Green (50:30)

The Ref. You never seen it?

Kristen Joy (50:31)

I don't think so.

Brian Green (50:33)

Dennis Leary. I say Dennis O'. Leary. It's Dennis O', Leary, the smoking comic from the 80s and 90s. Smart ass, quick talking, real smart, smart guy who. Who did the. He was like a firefighter in that FX show for a long time. He. The Ref is a movie about him as a thief. And he goes in. It's Kevin Spacey's in the movie too. He goes in to steal from a very rich neighborhood. He. He's like stealing from houses in a very rich neighborhood. He goes into a house to find a couple that is absolutely at each other's throats, like on the verge of divorce. Two of the. The most obnoxious people you've ever met in a relationship. And he becomes the ref of the marriage while he's trying to avoid capture by the police. It is brilliantly done. It is so funny. It is really good. You got to check out the graph. And one more just for shits and giggles. Well, two more. How about Krampus, the horror movie about the dysfunctional family who invert and inadvertently summons up the devil himself? Krampus. Have you seen that Krampus celebration that goes on in Germany where all of the. They all dress up in these horribly scary masks and they run around scaring the children and it's like a. I don't get it. I don't get it personally, but okay, it looks like something straight out of a straight out of hell, but the kids love it, apparently. All right, and then one more. Just in case you're really looking to have some fun tonight, you and the kids can go to bed. Bed. Watching Jingle all the Way starring Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Kristen Joy (52:05)

Forgot about that one. Home Alone's another one.

Brian Green (52:10)

Yeah, I'm not a big fan of Home Alone.

Kristen Joy (52:11)

I know. I remember that.

Brian Green (52:12)

Yeah, Home Alone is another one. You can watch all those terrible Santa Claus movies with Tim, what's his name? Tim the Tool Man.

Kristen Joy (52:18)

Yeah, that's right.

Brian Green (52:19)

Yeah. I do not like any of those. Some people love them. I just don't. I can't get into it. The Grinch. The Grinch you Stole Christmas is a great one. There's so many great Christmas movies. A Muppets Christmas is a great movie if you, we, me and my daughter like to watch that one. So, so many great Christmas movies. A lot of them probably playing tonight, I would imagine Christmas vacation is somewhere on TNT or somewhere like that this evening. So hope you get a chance to watch it. Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving Day. Hope you didn't get Salamonella. Hope you don't. You don't choose, you know, sweet child of mine, next time you do karaoke, tell them to do it in low C. Low C. I got a new microphone, by the way. It's sitting right there. Yeah, well, I'll just, whenever I get around to it, I'll put that thing on.
