Speaker 1: You know what you demand and we deliver. That's how

12
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:33,520

Speaker 2: truly makes our day. And enjoy this awkward Thursday.

19
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 5: When your spouse says they refuse to come with you

20
00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 5: to your family Thanksgiving for the first time in five years,

21
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 5: you know something is up.

22
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:05,759
Speaker 1: That that that was the first hit.

23
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 3: Or maybe upside down.

24
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 5: You know you're about to hear some drama that's been

25
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 5: going down between a brother and a sister that's turning

26
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 5: their Turkey day into Berserki day.

27
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 3: And are you trying?

28
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 1: Are you trying to coin that term?

29
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 5: It is and the only possible way for them to

30
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 5: fix it is by us doing a special awkward Thursday

31
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:29,039
Speaker 5: phone call.

32
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna skip over that Berserki line.

33
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 3: Okay, Brook, you come up with the joke.

34
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 1: I don't know.

35
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 3: We'll do it.

36
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 2: Coming out drama will be juicy, just like the Thanksgiving

37
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 2: bird boom.

38
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 6: It's coming up next.

39
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 5: It's Awkward Thursday's Thursday.

40
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 1: Our listeners love.

41
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 5: That's right back by popular demand. It's the Awkward Thursday

42
00:01:58,440 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 5: phone call.

43
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 1: I love of our high end imaging that we have

44
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 1: on this.

45
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 3: I don't sense any sarcasm.

46
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 5: Since Thanksgiving always lands on Thursdays, this is perfect because

47
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 5: today's awkward call is about Turkey.

48
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 3: Day's strange.

49
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 5: It's usually such a peaceful, non confrontational holiday, just heard

50
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 5: and football and constant hugs.

51
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 1: Any drama coming out of that day.

52
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 5: No, But apparently one of our listeners, Patrick is dealing

53
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 5: with some family drama, so he's requested our help.

54
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:35,359
Speaker 3: Patrick, how does.

55
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,359
Speaker 5: It feel being the only family in America with an

56
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 5: awkward Thanksgiving?

57
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 7: I've fel sposed to like a normal day inding and

58
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 7: why for me.

59
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:49,079
Speaker 1: It's technic all the time, he's being sarcastic. We all

60
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: have family drama, so we got your back.

61
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, there's us and famies that probably don't talk at all,

62
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:53,919
Speaker 6: and that's the drama.

63
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:58,640
Speaker 7: Yeah. Yeah, Oh well I need help.

64
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:03,359
Speaker 5: Okay, I can't promise anything, but we'll try. So tell

65
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 5: us about the situation that's going on with you and

66
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 5: your Thanksgiving this year.

67
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 7: All right, So my sister has been hosting Thanksgiving now

68
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 7: for the past five or six years, and she's got

69
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 7: a really nice house. She's an awesome cook, which honestly

70
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 7: makes sense.

71
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 1: Right, she's a successful one in the family. I hear

72
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 1: what you're saying.

73
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 5: She wants to bragg to all the other family members

74
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 5: about how how great she is.

75
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 6: Guys, I think logistically it normally is that a person's

76
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 6: the bigger house.

77
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 2: That's like, we actually have a guest room that's empty

78
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 2: even though everyone's here.

79
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 7: Well, we'll just call her the golden goose.

80
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 3: Okay, okay.

81
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 7: She apparently read some kind of news story in England

82
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 7: about a woman.

83
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 8: Who was hosting a family dinner and she.

84
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 7: Was charging per person to attend.

85
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 1: Goodness, Oh right.

86
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 7: I guess my sister said, well, I should do that

87
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 7: for Thanksgiving.

88
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 5: Oh no, we have heard other people before say that

89
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 5: they are charging their families on Thanksgiving because of the

90
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 5: extra costs that they have to do hosting and all

91
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 5: that stuff, So it's not totally unheard of.

92
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 1: I mean it's basically asking them to chip in.

93
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 3: So how did your sister lay this out?

94
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:21,599
Speaker 7: Well, she didn't tell me directly. She sent me and

95
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:26,480
Speaker 7: my wife Evite with an RSVP option and there was

96
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 7: a note that said our family of four would cost

97
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:30,599
Speaker 7: one hundred dollars.

98
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 3: Wow.

99
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 7: My wife thinks it's a joke. So she got on

100
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 7: the phone with my sister and she found out she

101
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 7: was actually serious, and they got into it. So now

102
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 7: my wife's feelings are hurt and she doesn't want to go,

103
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,239
Speaker 7: and she's already on the plane ticket to go visit

104
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 7: her family in another city.

105
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 3: Go how much money is her family charging?

106
00:04:58,760 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 1: Are you saying that.

107
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:01,720
Speaker 2: You and your my wife for right now splitting up

108
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 2: for Thanksgiving? You would go with your family and she

109
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 2: would go with hers.

110
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:10,239
Speaker 5: Yeah, oh that is a dream for you, right Brooke.

111
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 1: Oh, I actually like being with my in laws. I

112
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 1: mean I'd make fun of him a lot.

113
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 2: No, I was talking about the family, But where's your

114
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 2: problem because I feel like you have a problem now

115
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 2: with your wife and adultso with your sister.

116
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 9: Yeah.

117
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,919
Speaker 7: Well I went and I told my sister about the

118
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 7: situation and tried to make her feel guilty.

119
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:31,720
Speaker 1: Oh okay.

120
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:33,839
Speaker 8: Her response was good.

121
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,480
Speaker 7: We don't need her and it's still be one hundred bucks.

122
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 2: Oh oh wait, shouldn't it only be seventy five if

123
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 2: you're bringing you in the two cads?

124
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:43,599
Speaker 7: That's that's what I asked her. I told her, but

125
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 7: it's only three of us now, it should be twenty

126
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 7: five dollars per person.

127
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,839
Speaker 8: And my sister just says, no, it's one hundred dollars.

128
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 7: Her family.

129
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 3: Oh, she's her family, not her plate. Okay.

130
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 7: Well, even to the woman that she read about in England,

131
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 7: that was just for a dinner party, you know, it

132
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:04,719
Speaker 7: wasn't a family gathering where everyone's supposed to be together

133
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 7: for a happy, joyous Thanksgiving. So obviously my sister is

134
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 7: a little she's a little out of control, and now

135
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 7: I need help talking some sense into her. And I

136
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 7: just could use some advice guys.

137
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 1: Okay, so you want to call your sister?

138
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,279
Speaker 7: Yes, because my wife says she's already done with this

139
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:26,480
Speaker 7: situation and the whole Thanksgiving thing, and I'm just wanting

140
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 7: to kind of mend defenses here and just try to

141
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 7: save Thanksgiving essentially.

142
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,559
Speaker 1: Can I ask what it would take for your wife

143
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 1: to that? I was going to say, can come to

144
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 1: come back?

145
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 3: Yeah? How much money do we have to pay your wife?

146
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 3: Book out?

147
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 2: Well, I'm curious, like, are we wanting your sister? Are

148
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 2: you asking her to apologize? Or are you asking her

149
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 2: to drop the fee?

150
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 3: Like?

151
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 2: What what would it take to keep things peaceful?

152
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,600
Speaker 7: Basically, just look at the situation and say, this is

153
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,279
Speaker 7: a family gathering. We need to be together as a family.

154
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 7: This isn't a paid per plate kind of deal.

155
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 4: Has anybody else in your family complained about it?

156
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 7: Several people have talked about it.

157
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,160
Speaker 1: Yes, have they already paid her?

158
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 7: Uh?

159
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 8: Yes, some of them have have actually paid for this?

160
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 8: Oh wow what hey? I told them, don't do it

161
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 8: because I have friends in radio.

162
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 7: Who are the experts?

163
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 3: Who are they?

164
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 9: Yeah?

165
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 1: Oh you dad the wrong number?

166
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 3: Oh oh you're talking about us? Oh god?

167
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 7: Yeah?

168
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 5: Yah, Patrick, Okay, we can do this Thanksgiving.

169
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 2: And there's nothing more that Alexis likes in asking people

170
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 2: for money.

171
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe just have the hundred bucks ready in case.

172
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, but we need to try to think of some

173
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 5: advice to give to Patrick before he calls his sister

174
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 5: and asks her to see reason before Thanksgiving.

175
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 1: Here, Yeah, drop the charges sis.

176
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, Patrick, are you cool with cursing because that may

177
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 5: affect Brooks advice.

178
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 7: If she has the ears. I got the tone.

179
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 2: Oh, I've never heard that saying I don't know heard that,

180
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 2: not even sure what it means.

181
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 3: I'm kind of into it.

182
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 5: But we'll come back with your advice to let you

183
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 5: make your awkward Thursday phone call.

184
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 3: Thanksgiving edition coming up right after this.

185
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 1: Get the dump button ready.

186
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 3: To It's awkward. It's Thursday. It's awkward Thursday.

187
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 5: Nothing says Thanksgiving like charging your family money to be

188
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 5: in your presence.

189
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:32,559
Speaker 3: That's when it's not good. It's sweet.

190
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:35,960
Speaker 5: It's not totally unheard of because it is a pretty

191
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 5: expensive meal. But our listener Patrick is in a unique

192
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 5: situation where his sister is charging one hundred dollars per family.

193
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 5: Even though Patrick's wife is already backed out of the

194
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 5: event and frustration, his sister's still hitting him with the

195
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 5: full one hundred dollars fee for him and his two children.

196
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 2: To attend, and mind you, how she sent the news

197
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 2: be a bite, Yeah, it wasn't like a text threat.

198
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 5: Even I'm impressed by it too, don't get me wrong. Aggressive, yes,

199
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 5: but clearly it is disturbing the entire family vibe. So

200
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 5: Patrick is desperate for some advice on how to get

201
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 5: his sister to see reason. Maybe lower the fees, just

202
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 5: do something to get this holiday back on track. So

203
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 5: it's more about giving again. So Broke, what's your advice

204
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 5: for Patrick?

205
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:29,720
Speaker 1: I mean, honestly, Patrick, she's your sister.

206
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:33,079
Speaker 2: You need to explain to her this is dividing the family.

207
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 2: Is that what she really wants? Make her see that

208
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 2: and listen. If that doesn't work, to reason, you just

209
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 2: let her know that you may or may not be

210
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 2: sharing a very embarrassing story from childhood at the thing.

211
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:51,959
Speaker 7: That's only reason.

212
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,319
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm going to beat you.

213
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, a little blackmail in a sibling relationship is healthy.

214
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:00,839
Speaker 5: Healthy Patrick, I'm not hearing from me. You are you

215
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:03,479
Speaker 5: down for a little family extortion to save Thanksgiving?

216
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:05,080
Speaker 1: Can you a good story.

217
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 8: If it saves Thanksgiving?

218
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 7: Absolutely?

219
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 5: Okay, let's remember that one. And Jose, what's your advice?

220
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 6: Well, you're not gonna get very far in the discussion

221
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 6: if she's already like gotten into it with your wife, right, Yeah,

222
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 6: I know, which adds drama. So maybe just to keep

223
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 6: the peace, you tell her I'll slide you one hundred bucks,

224
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 6: but just tell my wife it was free.

225
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:29,320
Speaker 3: Just say, hey, I took the fee off.

226
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 7: I'll use that if it's a last resort.

227
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 1: Okay, okay.

228
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 3: What's your sister's name? Patrick?

229
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, Angela.

230
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,440
Speaker 5: Hopefully we're gonna melt Angela's cold, cold heart.

231
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 6: He sounds like a.

232
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 1: Very lovely he's definitely the oldest sibling.

233
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, no question.

234
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a little hot in there though, so maybe

235
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 5: a little melting action could be in the store.

236
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 3: Here we go, I'm gonna down the number. Patrick, you've

237
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 3: got this man?

238
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,960
Speaker 8: Hello, Hey, Angie, it's Patrick.

239
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 9: Wait, sorry, do you change your number? This was like

240
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 9: some random.

241
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 7: Yeah, I know, I kind of dropped the old phone

242
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:21,679
Speaker 7: and the toilet and I just had I just had

243
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:22,560
Speaker 7: to get a new phone.

244
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 9: So yeah, no, I thought it was one of those

245
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:28,359
Speaker 9: stam calls of getting so many completely it's ridiculous.

246
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 7: Well, trying to extend your car's limited warranty, Yeah.

247
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:33,440
Speaker 9: Something like that.

248
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 7: Yeah, I've been getting those two.

249
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 8: Gotta talk to you about something.

250
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:46,440
Speaker 7: Okay, it's about this whole Thanksgiving fee.

251
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 2: Yeah.

252
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 9: I think it's gonna be one of the best Thanksgivings

253
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 9: we've had.

254
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 7: Okay, how do you figure that? Like, you're well, charging

255
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:59,560
Speaker 7: your own family to spend time at your house.

256
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 9: Well, sure, I mean with the stress of money and

257
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 9: the grocery bills and the cleaning bills afterward. I mean,

258
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:09,080
Speaker 9: this year, it looks like I'm actually gonna have a

259
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 9: bit of a surplus here.

260
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 7: What huh, you're making money off of this?

261
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:19,719
Speaker 9: I mean at first they thought, you know, I was

262
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 9: just barely gonna break even. But then it came to me.

263
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:30,559
Speaker 3: What did well, Baba and Papa, what are you talking about?

264
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 9: Well, okay, they're old. You know, they're gonna need priority parking,

265
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 9: So the driveway is just going to be roped off

266
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 9: just for them so they can get in and out easily.

267
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:43,680
Speaker 9: And it's just going to be like fifty dollars a pop.

268
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 7: What are you talking about? You're charging our grandparents.

269
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:54,680
Speaker 9: For an important service. I think it's going to be

270
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:58,200
Speaker 9: one of our most successful thanksgivings. And if you don't come,

271
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 9: you're gonna you're gonna miss out. I mean the food's

272
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 9: going to be next level.

273
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,319
Speaker 7: I mean it's always like really good, but.

274
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:06,559
Speaker 9: Yeah, well this year it's going to be even better.

275
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 9: I mean I've had like three people, I think pay

276
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 9: for upgrades for the pies this year.

277
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:14,960
Speaker 3: Is What is that?

278
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 2: No?

279
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 9: Okay, it was on the evite If you would care

280
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:21,080
Speaker 9: to read it, you you get a bigger slice with

281
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 9: more witch cream for seven dollars.

282
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:27,800

284
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 9: Look, don't be ridiculous. I mean I'm being practical. The

285
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 9: whole reason that I'm doing this in the first place

286
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 9: is to help pay for a new garage door. Okay,

287
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 9: wait what a garage door?

288
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 7: Angie? Listen to yourself.

289
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,720

Speaker 1: Family?

293
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 3: Yeah?

294
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 6: I can't afford to be in this family.

295
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:08,560
Speaker 5: We're a family radio show, Angela, We're a morning show called.

Speaker 9: What is this?

298
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 7: You're on a radio show. I wanted to get the

299
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 7: whole premise of why you think this is a good idea?

300
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 2: Yeah?

301
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:21,760

Speaker 5: Yeah, so, Angela, this is called an Awkward Thursday phone call,

303
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 5: extremely popular segment nationwide.

304
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 3: You should listen.

305
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 5: But basically, your brother is a little bit frustrated with

306
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 5: how this whole Thanksgiving fee is going over.

307
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 2: Okay, and he's not the only one, like you're dividing

308
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 2: the family.

309
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 1: His wife is refusing to come. You got in a

310
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 1: fight with her. Other family members are upset.

311
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 9: No one else has talked to me about this. It

312
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 9: seems like it's just his wife.

313
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 3: Oh okay.

314
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 2: You don't think that your family's talking behind your back

315
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 2: right now, Angie.

316
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 1: I have on Grandpa for sure.

317
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 8: Yeah.

318
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 2: Charging they're just definitely a thread that you're not on.

319
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 5: Just because they're not saying something directly to you doesn't

320
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:12,239
Speaker 5: mean they're not a little bit uncomfortable with the situation unfolding.

321
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:16,479
Speaker 9: I think it's entrepreneurial, Okay, Okay, it's a little.

322
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 5: Business savvy, but it's against you. Nobody's here saying we're

323
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 5: not going to steal that idea for ourselves and do

324
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 5: it at our own thanksgivings. We're not saying that, but

325
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 5: we are saying that clearly, your brother is struggling with

326
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 5: the whole concept.

327
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 2: And he's not very good at talking for himself clearly.

328
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 5: I mean, Patrick, you should jump in and talk to

329
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 5: your sister about this. This is between you and your family.

330
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 7: I'm just trying to figure out what the hell is

331
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 7: going on with this whole situation. Angie. You know you

332
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 7: don't need to rope anything off. You don't even need

333
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 7: to charge.

334
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 3: That's not what Patrick's saying.

335
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 1: Angie.

336
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 2: You don't want your brother and his family to miss dinner,

337
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 2: do you, So.

338
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 9: He should pay the hundred and.

339
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 5: Be there, Okay, Patrick, I mean, look, it sounds like

340
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 5: not a lot is working here, so maybe.

341
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 3: It's a good time to go with Jose's advice.

342
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 7: All right, Angie, I'll slip you the one hundred dollars.

343
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 7: Just just don't tell Amanda. Okay, you're right, I'll just

344
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 7: tell her it's free.

345
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 9: M You know what, make it one fifty?

346
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 1: Have a deal? Is there a fifty dollars line? Surcharge?

347
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 1: Is that what you're doing?

348
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 9: Fifty dollars? Put me on the radio?

349
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 7: Searcharge? Now, Angie, that's just exploitatious.

350
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 1: It was Patrick.

351
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 3: It was exploitatious to put her on the radio. Patrick,

352
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 3: it's big if you admit the radio feed.

353
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 2: I don't think they think Angie's really in the boss

354
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 2: in this situation.

355
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 1: I think you should take the deal.

356
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 4: Before it goes up into one and get your wife

357
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 4: the pie up grade you got to add.

358
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 7: Come on a good husband there, all right, all right,

359
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 7: I'll the one hundred and fifty dollars and throw in

360
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:04,760
Speaker 7: a pie upgrade for my wife.

361
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 5: Wow.

362
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 9: Good doing business with you, brother.

363
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 5: Oh it's a happy Thanksgiving after all.

364
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, we failed him so hard.

365
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:17,440
Speaker 7: I regret calling in.

366
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 5: The experts, rooking Jeffrey in the morning.

367
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 3: So what did we learn from all that?

368
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 5: Other than don't call us with your family problems because

369
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:29,680
Speaker 5: we'll probably make them worse.

370
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 2: We learned that the older sister in that family has

371
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:35,119
Speaker 2: like quite the business line she is.

372
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:36,440
Speaker 1: She's a boss.

373
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 5: I mean, we definitely learn people who are greedy trying

374
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 5: to profit off of family during the holidays. Those people

375
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 5: seem to come out on top. Yes, probably worth trying.

376
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:49,639
Speaker 2: It, you know, I will say, though, even if she

377
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 2: profits a little, if she's hosted all of this and

378
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 2: done all the food for the last five years, I

379
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 2: mean she's still kind of losing money.

380
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, Okay, that's why you always get.

381
00:17:58,560 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 1: A different family member to host.

382
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:01,680
Speaker 3: You gotta switch it up.

383
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, something tells me that drama hasn't quite ended for

384
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 5: Angela and her family. She's gonna have a venmo QR

385
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:10,159
Speaker 5: code up in the middle of the dinner table to

386
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:13,160
Speaker 5: up charge gamgam for her second serving of greenach.

387
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 1: Yes.

388
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:20,440
Speaker 5: Best of luck to Angela and Patrick and their entire

389
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:23,160
