Here we are providing you with a 0:01:02.560 --> 0:01:07.360 marginal weekend podcast, The Fifth Hour and my man Dan. 0:01:07.400 --> 0:01:09.320 Have you recovered from yesterday's Raider game? 0:01:09.400 --> 0:01:09.720 Danny? 0:01:09.720 --> 0:01:11.920 I know, yeah, you know. It's a weird setup. The 0:01:12.080 --> 0:01:14.840 Friday NFL. You don't normally get that right. This is 0:01:14.880 --> 0:01:18.039 a relatively new thing. Friday NFL, and. 0:01:18.640 --> 0:01:20.920 I have told you in the past that I think 0:01:21.040 --> 0:01:23.360 Mark Davis should have jumped all over this from the 0:01:23.400 --> 0:01:26.959 get go and branded it silver and Black Friday. 0:01:27.720 --> 0:01:31.800 Yeah, hey, own it like the Lions. Yeah, Cowboys have Thanksgiving? 0:01:31.880 --> 0:01:34.399 Why not? It was fun. I enjoyed it was a 0:01:34.440 --> 0:01:40.959 standalone game. The game was good. I don't know your reaction. 0:01:41.080 --> 0:01:44.760 What an ending. The Raiders had the game in their hand. 0:01:45.160 --> 0:01:48.560 They missed a six earlier, they were set up. They 0:01:48.560 --> 0:01:52.279 were in fine position to kick the game winning field 0:01:52.280 --> 0:01:55.480 goal with no time left for Mahomes Ben. 0:01:55.640 --> 0:02:00.520 All those Daniel Carlson misses were over fifty five yards. Yeah, 0:02:00.560 --> 0:02:03.360 so they were in position to have a much better 0:02:03.440 --> 0:02:06.920 kick than that, and Carlson could have redeemed himself and 0:02:06.960 --> 0:02:09.400 had the game winner. To me, that's how it was 0:02:09.440 --> 0:02:12.640 about to play out. And they had just commented on 0:02:12.680 --> 0:02:16.200 how cool and calm Aidan O'Connell was moving the team 0:02:16.320 --> 0:02:18.920 up the field and him getting up to the line 0:02:18.919 --> 0:02:21.840 of scrimmage. Unfortunately he was in a hurry to not 0:02:21.919 --> 0:02:26.840 be in a hurry, because yeah, the lineman thought, oh quick, count, 0:02:26.840 --> 0:02:29.040 here we go, and he was still getting the wide 0:02:29.040 --> 0:02:33.560 receiver and tight end aligned. What was confusing about that 0:02:33.680 --> 0:02:37.000 last play. And my favorite part of the broadcast with 0:02:37.200 --> 0:02:41.200 Prime and Amazon. I loved how they brought the rules 0:02:41.200 --> 0:02:43.880 expert in right away to explain to all of us 0:02:44.000 --> 0:02:48.480 viewers what happened, and in the post game they still didn't. 0:02:49.400 --> 0:02:51.960 Yeah, well, who I mean, it was confused me. I 0:02:51.960 --> 0:02:54.760 thought your favorite part was when Al Michaels announced that 0:02:54.800 --> 0:02:56.440 the Raiders had moved back to Oakland. 0:02:56.480 --> 0:03:01.320 I thought that, Yeah, it was a long Tucker, a 0:03:01.360 --> 0:03:05.560 long Tucker touchdown, and he got so excited he had 0:03:05.600 --> 0:03:07.000 a flashback to the eighties. 0:03:07.120 --> 0:03:10.720 Yeah, fifty eight yard catch and run. And in the 0:03:10.760 --> 0:03:13.440 fourth quarter and all of a sudden, now Michaels is 0:03:13.440 --> 0:03:16.440 flashing back to the Oakland Raider. He knew right away. 0:03:16.480 --> 0:03:18.520 He fed up. Either he knew or somebody told him 0:03:18.520 --> 0:03:21.360 in his ear. Yeah, he quickly tried to correct it. 0:03:21.400 --> 0:03:24.440 But I mean the Raiders obviously, listen, they suck. They're 0:03:24.440 --> 0:03:28.400 two and ten, But for one day they outplayed the Chiefs. 0:03:28.440 --> 0:03:31.960 They add more first downs, they had almost I think 0:03:32.000 --> 0:03:34.880 it was over one hundred yards more of offense, and 0:03:35.040 --> 0:03:38.880 a O'Donnell he averaged almost ten yards per pass. Obviously, 0:03:38.880 --> 0:03:41.600 those big pass plays skewed the numbers tremendously at a 0:03:41.800 --> 0:03:45.080 forty three something yard to think the Myers and Tucker play, 0:03:45.160 --> 0:03:49.280 so that that skews the numbers. But yeah, O'Connell looked amazing, 0:03:49.320 --> 0:03:52.320 which is which is bizarre because remember the Raiders you 0:03:52.320 --> 0:03:54.960 obviously know because they when they beat the Chiefs last 0:03:55.040 --> 0:03:57.760 year at Arrowhead. I believe it was, And O'Connor. 0:03:57.440 --> 0:03:59.560 Was, yeah, you're right. On Christmas. 0:03:59.640 --> 0:04:01.240 He didn't even throw a pass I think in the 0:04:01.280 --> 0:04:03.640 second hoverage some ridiculous thing like that where you already 0:04:03.640 --> 0:04:07.160 threw any passes. In this game, he outplayed Mahomes. You 0:04:07.240 --> 0:04:09.200 ran the ball better than the Chiefs ran the. 0:04:09.120 --> 0:04:14.279 Ball with a practice squad running back since Sarah McCormick, who. 0:04:14.920 --> 0:04:16.800 I don't even know. I have no idea who that. No, 0:04:16.920 --> 0:04:18.760 I mean there were guys playing for the Rads, I said, 0:04:18.880 --> 0:04:19.720 I don't know who that is. 0:04:20.600 --> 0:04:25.280 Their entire roster Ben has been obliterated by injuries. We 0:04:25.320 --> 0:04:27.720 have third stringers in there for the Raiders on both 0:04:27.760 --> 0:04:30.000 sides of the ball. So for them to come out 0:04:30.000 --> 0:04:32.839 with that effort and energy, it was great to see. 0:04:33.040 --> 0:04:35.000 And I said on the Cavino and Rich Show when 0:04:35.000 --> 0:04:38.000 we were filling in for Dan Patrick just a few 0:04:38.120 --> 0:04:41.480 days ago. I wanted an exciting game, but because a 0:04:41.560 --> 0:04:44.080 draft position, I wanted them to lose a close one. 0:04:44.640 --> 0:04:47.440 Your dreams came true, you know, you know they need 0:04:47.480 --> 0:04:50.520 a franchise quarterback and at this point, what are you 0:04:50.560 --> 0:04:52.840 going to win a couple of meaningless games for. 0:04:53.800 --> 0:04:58.120 Well, at this point the Raiders because of that that loss, 0:04:58.760 --> 0:05:05.880 they have moved up one slot for now. Jacksonville plays tomorrow. Yes, 0:05:05.960 --> 0:05:08.920 so the Raiders are two and ten so for now 0:05:08.960 --> 0:05:13.400 they're in second in the draft order that they need 0:05:13.400 --> 0:05:14.920 the Giants to win a game. 0:05:15.720 --> 0:05:19.240 Yep, for sure. And Ben, before we turned the page, Yeah, 0:05:19.560 --> 0:05:22.440 can you make sense of that last play? Because when 0:05:22.480 --> 0:05:25.839 the referees blew the whistle right away and were putting 0:05:25.880 --> 0:05:28.600 their hands above their heads waving their hands to me, 0:05:28.720 --> 0:05:32.120 the play was over. But then they huddled and decided, well, 0:05:32.320 --> 0:05:35.520 it's an illegal shift, not motion, so they let the 0:05:35.560 --> 0:05:39.040 play go. But it seemed like they were confused and 0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:41.400 blew the play dead as if it was an illegal 0:05:41.640 --> 0:05:43.080 motion rather than shift. 0:05:44.000 --> 0:05:46.559 Yeah, it was odd, and I'll tell you what I texted. 0:05:46.720 --> 0:05:48.920 You know, the people I went to Arrowhead with were 0:05:48.960 --> 0:05:52.520 at the game, Yester, the tailgate people and I text them. 0:05:52.760 --> 0:05:55.599 I said, here's exactly what I said. He you still 0:05:55.640 --> 0:05:59.200 got that lucky horseshoe up, mahomes ass, I mean, Mike, 0:05:59.600 --> 0:06:02.960 that was yeah. I thought, hey, okay, they'll read you know, 0:06:03.000 --> 0:06:06.680 their five yard penalty or whatever. I did not no 0:06:07.240 --> 0:06:09.400 thought in my head was like, well, the Chiefs are 0:06:09.400 --> 0:06:12.200 going to get the ball, because it didn't appear like 0:06:12.200 --> 0:06:15.479 that at all from watching on the Amazon feed, So 0:06:15.600 --> 0:06:18.400 it was It was odd, and I know Connell took 0:06:18.440 --> 0:06:20.800 the blame, but I don't know. It seemed like the 0:06:20.839 --> 0:06:22.799 center fed up. 0:06:23.320 --> 0:06:25.800 What I really wanted. And I know Arrowhead has a 0:06:25.839 --> 0:06:29.400 special place in your heart now, but I loved sending 0:06:29.440 --> 0:06:34.200 those Chiefs fans home last Christmas with frowns on their faces, 0:06:34.240 --> 0:06:37.560 and I wanted that to be the case yesterday because 0:06:37.680 --> 0:06:40.840 one thing I hate about those spoiled Chiefs fans. If 0:06:40.880 --> 0:06:44.680 anything doesn't go their way in a game, they start booing. 0:06:45.080 --> 0:06:48.400 They were booing during that game when they thought Crosby 0:06:48.600 --> 0:06:54.159 touched Mahomes on the and then when something else didn't 0:06:54.400 --> 0:06:56.120 call didn't go their way later in the game, they 0:06:56.160 --> 0:06:59.680 were booing again. When the Raiders took the lead, they 0:06:59.720 --> 0:07:03.120 started booing. And I'm thinking to myself, you spoiled Fox. 0:07:03.160 --> 0:07:05.640 What are you really booing for or about? 0:07:06.279 --> 0:07:10.120 Well, yeah, it's an odd situation because the Chiefs now 0:07:10.200 --> 0:07:13.520 with that win, what are they eleven and one? And 0:07:13.560 --> 0:07:19.400 they have they have played like pretty crap bag football. 0:07:19.520 --> 0:07:22.960 I would say going back to the the Tampa game, 0:07:23.400 --> 0:07:26.000 I guess week nine they won that that was I 0:07:26.000 --> 0:07:29.280 think a Monday night game. They beat the Denver game 0:07:29.320 --> 0:07:31.680 I was at. They barely won that game, they won 0:07:31.720 --> 0:07:34.600 because of a block field goal. They lost to the Bills, 0:07:34.960 --> 0:07:38.480 barely beat Carolina, barely beat the rest. So it's it's 0:07:38.480 --> 0:07:41.040 like it's a weird thing where the Chiefs have won 0:07:41.080 --> 0:07:44.720 three of four but really or three of the last 0:07:45.280 --> 0:07:48.280 for the last five, but all five could have gone 0:07:48.360 --> 0:07:50.920 in the lost column. So it's this odd thing where 0:07:50.920 --> 0:07:53.640 they're like they've got this great record, but yet they 0:07:53.680 --> 0:07:55.760 really aren't playing particularly well. 0:07:56.520 --> 0:07:59.520 And a stat you'll love for Benny versus the Penny, 0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:03.000 past six games, they are zero to six against the spread. 0:08:03.360 --> 0:08:05.520 Well, that's all we care about. That's all that's all 0:08:05.560 --> 0:08:09.000 we care about. And I don't want to jinx myself. 0:08:09.000 --> 0:08:11.560 I'll just say that the picks that didn't make the 0:08:11.600 --> 0:08:15.400 TV show because We obviously record the show and it 0:08:15.440 --> 0:08:17.720 airs mostly on Friday and Saturday and Sunday, so we 0:08:17.760 --> 0:08:20.280 didn't worry about the Thanksgiving games. But I've done very 0:08:20.280 --> 0:08:22.120 well so far to start the week, which means I'm 0:08:22.160 --> 0:08:24.480 due to go the other way. But good start and 0:08:25.840 --> 0:08:27.920 will now the Raiders have I'm looking at the rest 0:08:27.920 --> 0:08:32.720 of the schedule. There's there's two games they probably should win. 0:08:33.280 --> 0:08:35.920 Uh uh yeah, I mean they played Tampa Bay that'll 0:08:35.920 --> 0:08:39.600 be a loss. At Tampa Atlanta probably a loss, although 0:08:39.760 --> 0:08:43.559 Kirk Cousin sucks on the road. That's in Vegas. Jacksonville 0:08:43.640 --> 0:08:47.080 at home. You should beat Jacksonville and the Saints that 0:08:47.160 --> 0:08:49.320 should be a win. So do you win those? 0:08:50.240 --> 0:08:54.760 They're fighting with Jacksonville over a top draft position, you 0:08:54.840 --> 0:08:57.959 know how they say, Oh, the NFC West might come 0:08:58.000 --> 0:09:00.920 down to that final game, the Niners versus as the Cardinals. 0:09:01.360 --> 0:09:03.840 This might come down to the Raiders versus the Jags 0:09:03.880 --> 0:09:05.880 for who has the best suckage. 0:09:06.280 --> 0:09:08.920 Yeah, but that's the problem is that the whole tanking thing, well, 0:09:08.920 --> 0:09:12.040 it does happen, it's usually orchestrated by the front office. 0:09:12.080 --> 0:09:15.960 It's not normally done by the coaching staff and the players. 0:09:16.280 --> 0:09:18.480 It's exact because they don't want to lose their jobs 0:09:18.520 --> 0:09:20.880 to newly drafted players. 0:09:20.520 --> 0:09:23.680 Exactly, So they have it's the front office who has 0:09:23.720 --> 0:09:27.280 to sit certain people or they have to finagle the roster. 0:09:28.000 --> 0:09:31.560 That's typically how it's. Well, we've done a lot of sporto. 0:09:32.240 --> 0:09:35.800 Wow, there was a lot of Turkey day. We can't 0:09:35.840 --> 0:09:36.559 in football. 0:09:36.960 --> 0:09:39.120 Well, we've always watched the Raider game and here we 0:09:39.120 --> 0:09:41.480 are on Saturday talking about it. But I did want 0:09:41.520 --> 0:09:43.880 to mention a couple of things I have. I have 0:09:44.160 --> 0:09:48.720 Picasso would be proud PTSD. We might get to the 0:09:48.720 --> 0:09:50.000 Word of the week. So we have some things to 0:09:50.000 --> 0:09:51.400 get to, but I want to start with this. We 0:09:51.800 --> 0:09:54.640 obviously had Thanksgiving just a couple of days ago, and 0:09:55.080 --> 0:09:56.600 I don't know what it was like for you. We 0:09:56.600 --> 0:10:00.120 had a small get together my father in law in 0:10:00.160 --> 0:10:02.719 North Carolina. My sister in law and her kids were 0:10:02.760 --> 0:10:06.360 unfortunately at a funeral in Oregon, so they were gone. 0:10:06.400 --> 0:10:09.240 Both my brothers live across the country, so I had 0:10:09.520 --> 0:10:12.040 a few of my wife's aunts, I had one of 0:10:12.120 --> 0:10:15.959 my cousins who lives in the area, and the week 0:10:16.040 --> 0:10:20.959 prior we had friends giving, very important event that I 0:10:21.360 --> 0:10:25.000 never had in my life until recently Friendsgiving. So this 0:10:25.080 --> 0:10:26.839 is my wife's idea. So we had a bunch of 0:10:26.880 --> 0:10:31.040 her friends over for a hybrid basically Thanksgiving a week earlier. 0:10:31.760 --> 0:10:35.559 The turkey, the side dishes and all that, just with friends. 0:10:35.960 --> 0:10:38.880 And as the Great Paul Harvey would say, you know 0:10:38.960 --> 0:10:42.320 what the news is, but now here you are going 0:10:42.360 --> 0:10:43.960 to hear the rest of the story. So a few 0:10:43.960 --> 0:10:46.439 hours I'll go back. This is friends Giving, not Thanksgiving. 0:10:46.440 --> 0:10:50.360 Don't confuse, never, Danny, confuse Friendsgiving with Thanksgiving. These are 0:10:50.400 --> 0:10:52.800 two separate events, two separate events. 0:10:52.840 --> 0:10:54.880 So yeah, most of us don't have friends, so we 0:10:54.960 --> 0:10:55.960 only have Thanksgiving. 0:10:56.080 --> 0:10:58.520 I don't either. These were my wife's friends, so a 0:10:58.520 --> 0:11:00.920 few I was just there because I'm through marriage. So 0:11:01.240 --> 0:11:04.040 a few hours before the shindig, we were having some 0:11:04.080 --> 0:11:08.319 work done in the kitchen. We had finally put our 0:11:08.400 --> 0:11:10.520 range hood up and we were doing something. There was 0:11:10.520 --> 0:11:11.880 some paint that needed to be done. We have a 0:11:11.920 --> 0:11:14.760 handyman because you know, I'm on radio, so I can't 0:11:14.840 --> 0:11:17.360 use my hands. So we have a handyman who helps 0:11:17.400 --> 0:11:18.679 us out a lot at the house and does a 0:11:18.679 --> 0:11:21.040 lot of work and stuff. And great guy does a 0:11:21.120 --> 0:11:25.200 lot of good work. Doesn't always follow the code. We 0:11:25.240 --> 0:11:27.040 have a lot of handymen that listened to the show 0:11:27.240 --> 0:11:29.920 doesn't always follow all the code. So we had a 0:11:30.000 --> 0:11:33.800 range put up and needed some touch up paint and 0:11:34.040 --> 0:11:36.880 some things like that. And so my wife, of course 0:11:36.920 --> 0:11:39.080 wanting to impress her friends. As you know, Danny, your 0:11:39.080 --> 0:11:41.240 wife's the same way, right. I think most wives are 0:11:41.240 --> 0:11:43.120 like that. I want to show off to your friends, 0:11:43.160 --> 0:11:46.080 and so I wanted everything to look beautiful. So we 0:11:46.120 --> 0:11:48.360 had the guy over preparing for the event. And this 0:11:48.480 --> 0:11:51.199 is the day of the event, and we ran out 0:11:51.240 --> 0:11:54.200 to the store to buy some last minute garlic, making 0:11:54.240 --> 0:11:59.000 garlic mashed potatoes. My wife, she's bragging in the car 0:12:00.160 --> 0:12:01.679 a good team because I dropped her off to run 0:12:01.720 --> 0:12:03.880 in and get the garlic. So it was busy and 0:12:04.200 --> 0:12:05.920 it's very proud. So we get back to the house 0:12:07.000 --> 0:12:09.559 and we're putting the finishing touches on the food preparation. 0:12:10.360 --> 0:12:13.040 Everything is in the oven now cooking. So it's like 0:12:13.080 --> 0:12:14.520 the haze in the barn. You know on football they 0:12:14.520 --> 0:12:15.840 say the haze in the barn. You've done all the 0:12:15.840 --> 0:12:18.880 work for practice, you're ready to go. So everything was 0:12:18.920 --> 0:12:21.439 in the oven, everything's getting ready, We're good to go. 0:12:21.840 --> 0:12:24.439 So my wife's in the other room. The handyman's finishing up. 0:12:24.520 --> 0:12:27.760 I'm kind of in the kitchen, but I'm futzing around 0:12:27.760 --> 0:12:32.079 over near the table. And then out of my peripheral 0:12:32.200 --> 0:12:36.760 vision to the right, I see something kind of like 0:12:36.800 --> 0:12:42.760 a comet, and then I hear a large kaboom kaboom. 0:12:43.559 --> 0:12:49.080 I turned to my right, and what I saw in 0:12:50.320 --> 0:12:53.280 I still have this vision in my head. I can 0:12:53.360 --> 0:12:56.120 close my eyes and see the vision. What I saw 0:12:56.280 --> 0:13:01.680 belonged in the louver in Paris. There was it was 0:13:01.760 --> 0:13:05.560 Picasso would be proud. So the spoiler alert on this. 0:13:06.520 --> 0:13:10.360 The handyman, in his haste to get the painting done, 0:13:10.920 --> 0:13:14.200 was standing on a small ladder, not a full ladder, 0:13:14.200 --> 0:13:18.200 but a small ladder, and somehow, I guess, lost his 0:13:18.400 --> 0:13:25.160 balance and dropped a full gallon of paint, white paint, 0:13:25.880 --> 0:13:30.840 racist all over the kitchen. And I don't be just 0:13:31.040 --> 0:13:38.040 a little bit, I mean everywhere, in the air, everywhere, Danny. 0:13:38.040 --> 0:13:40.880 This was a direct hit in the middle of the kitchen, 0:13:41.040 --> 0:13:44.840 right on the floor, but it spattered, splattered everywhere. Now 0:13:44.920 --> 0:13:47.440 keeping wround, We're ninety minutes away from having all my 0:13:47.480 --> 0:13:52.360 wife's friends over for friendsgiving. This thing is from floor 0:13:52.480 --> 0:13:55.880 to ceiling. I mean, we have like this light blue 0:13:55.920 --> 0:13:58.720 fridge and oven, which cost a freaking fortune, right, my 0:13:58.760 --> 0:14:04.360 wife wanted or whatever. Very expensive. Looks nice though, So 0:14:04.360 --> 0:14:06.360 so we're i mean, my wife, you know, she was 0:14:06.440 --> 0:14:09.920 very confious. She's a nine one one operator. I'm screaming profanity, 0:14:10.080 --> 0:14:13.920 you know, the Haindiman's freaked out. He's covered in paint. 0:14:14.280 --> 0:14:19.040 It's like a Stooges episode. So we get a big 0:14:19.080 --> 0:14:22.840 thing of towels out and we try immediately and the 0:14:22.840 --> 0:14:24.920 paint dries very quickly, as you know, Danny. So we're 0:14:25.440 --> 0:14:27.720 trying to clean off the refrigerator in the oven because 0:14:27.720 --> 0:14:29.600 that's the main you know, we can clean the rest 0:14:29.640 --> 0:14:31.280 of it, but we had to get that right away, 0:14:31.680 --> 0:14:37.560 but the whole floor is covered. It was insane, absolutely insane, 0:14:37.600 --> 0:14:40.120 and so we're getting water out. We're like, we're like, 0:14:40.160 --> 0:14:41.960 how can we do this quickly? And you know, it 0:14:42.080 --> 0:14:45.680 was just it was an overwhelming amount of paint and 0:14:46.600 --> 0:14:51.280 ninety minutes out, the drama, the profanity, all of that, 0:14:52.000 --> 0:14:56.680 and fortunately we didn't get it all cleaned up, but 0:14:56.720 --> 0:15:02.200 we got it cleaned up enough where you couldn't tell 0:15:02.320 --> 0:15:08.960 the amount of damage that had been done. And Unfortunately. 0:15:09.000 --> 0:15:10.480 What happened was a lot of the people were late 0:15:10.520 --> 0:15:13.360 because of LA traffic and we lived pretty far out 0:15:13.360 --> 0:15:14.960 in the north Woods here, so people were a little 0:15:15.000 --> 0:15:16.200 later and then they were supposed to be, so we 0:15:16.280 --> 0:15:19.120 had a little extra time. But it was insane. It 0:15:19.200 --> 0:15:22.280 reminded me. I've told the story before years ago, my 0:15:23.800 --> 0:15:29.040 famous Thanksgiving. This was actual Thanksgiving. Some gravy. My dad 0:15:29.160 --> 0:15:34.640 was taking gravy from the kitchen to the oven to 0:15:34.720 --> 0:15:38.880 the table, and it dropped and went everywhere, and we 0:15:38.920 --> 0:15:41.960 spent me and the family spent Thanksgiving cleaning gravy up. 0:15:42.160 --> 0:15:46.480 I guess now, how did you guys go about getting 0:15:46.480 --> 0:15:49.040 this up off the floor in ninety minutes? 0:15:49.800 --> 0:15:51.240 The first thing we had to do was clean the 0:15:51.240 --> 0:15:53.400 refrigerator in the oven. That was the most important thing. 0:15:53.440 --> 0:15:56.640 So we did that, and then at that point. 0:15:56.440 --> 0:15:58.600 But it dripped all the way down to the floor. Though, 0:15:59.520 --> 0:15:59.920 see what. 0:15:59.840 --> 0:16:02.200 He was standing on a ladder and he dropped the 0:16:02.280 --> 0:16:05.240 canister on the floor, but it spattered everywhere. 0:16:05.760 --> 0:16:06.680 Got it okay? 0:16:06.840 --> 0:16:08.120 Yeah, so it was a it was a hit on 0:16:08.160 --> 0:16:11.640 the floor and then and it was just unbelievable. He 0:16:11.720 --> 0:16:14.960 I mean it is so it was like abstract art, Yes, 0:16:15.040 --> 0:16:18.400 exactly again at the Louver. You know, Picasso would be 0:16:18.400 --> 0:16:21.320 proud and all that it was. It was ridiculous and 0:16:22.320 --> 0:16:26.120 uh probably breathed way too many paint fumes in. I 0:16:26.160 --> 0:16:28.680 love the handyman, but most painters, you know, what they 0:16:28.720 --> 0:16:31.880 do is they put a like a like a piece 0:16:31.880 --> 0:16:33.880 of plastic on the floor in case they dropped paint. 0:16:33.920 --> 0:16:37.760 You know, yeah, that white tart looking thing. 0:16:39.120 --> 0:16:41.120 Yeah, well this guy doesn't need that, I guess he 0:16:41.240 --> 0:16:43.840 just yeah, he was his paint. Poor the poor guy. 0:16:44.200 --> 0:16:46.680 He was not dressed to paint, and he was covered, 0:16:46.760 --> 0:16:50.320 I mean the jeans he was wearing, just the gonzo. 0:16:50.920 --> 0:16:53.360 But as far as the event, uh it was. We 0:16:53.360 --> 0:16:57.120 were all stressed out and there was some alcohol consumption whatever, 0:16:58.080 --> 0:17:00.520 mostly my wife's friends, although we did get visit from 0:17:00.520 --> 0:17:03.080 the Florida man. I sent out a photo on social 0:17:03.160 --> 0:17:07.520 media Gascon Gagon, who was the original I did the 0:17:07.520 --> 0:17:10.000 podcast with him before you replaced him and got rid 0:17:10.040 --> 0:17:12.280 of thank god, because we don't do this political stuff anymore. 0:17:12.280 --> 0:17:15.480 But Gascon was in from Florida. He was in town 0:17:15.640 --> 0:17:18.080 doing a college basketball game or something like that, and 0:17:18.320 --> 0:17:20.840 so he came by and I hadn't seen him in 0:17:20.880 --> 0:17:23.120 a couple of years. Actually, I can't believe the time 0:17:23.160 --> 0:17:25.359 has flown. But he's been in Florida for a while. 0:17:25.880 --> 0:17:28.520 And that's right, not since the Halloween party you had 0:17:28.520 --> 0:17:29.320 a couple of years ago. 0:17:29.400 --> 0:17:31.440 Yeah, it's been a couple of years. So I caught 0:17:31.520 --> 0:17:37.080 up with him and we're trading stories and whatnot, and 0:17:37.080 --> 0:17:39.600 and that was that. So that was friends Giving, and 0:17:39.640 --> 0:17:43.000 as far as the PTSD thing, while we have it. 0:17:43.119 --> 0:17:46.320 So let's go back to the couple of days ago Thanksgiving. 0:17:47.080 --> 0:17:51.320 So I had some work done. I worked overnight. Actually 0:17:51.320 --> 0:17:55.719 I worked Thanksgiving night into Thanksgiving. As you know, I 0:17:55.760 --> 0:17:59.119 took off Black Friday because that's a bigger holiday, but 0:17:59.160 --> 0:18:02.040 I worked the day before into Thanksgiving, and so I 0:18:02.080 --> 0:18:05.560 was working that night. My wife also works, so we 0:18:05.680 --> 0:18:07.640 used a bit of a cheat cod for Thanksgiving. Now, 0:18:07.720 --> 0:18:11.040 neither one of us big turkey people. I've told the story. 0:18:10.920 --> 0:18:14.480 My mom loved turkey, ate it. Every big event, birthday, 0:18:16.000 --> 0:18:18.720 anything big event in the family. She'd make turkey. That 0:18:18.760 --> 0:18:21.439 was a way to celebrate, just a way for her 0:18:21.480 --> 0:18:24.600 to eat turkey. More So, I'm done with turkey. I've 0:18:24.600 --> 0:18:28.440 had God love my mom, but I tuna and turkey. 0:18:28.480 --> 0:18:30.440 My mom served me so much tuna when I was 0:18:30.480 --> 0:18:32.560 a kid, I hate it. I hate all seafood, and 0:18:32.600 --> 0:18:36.440 now the turkey. But we used a bit of Chico. 0:18:36.520 --> 0:18:37.960 So my wife said, well, you know, we don't want 0:18:37.960 --> 0:18:40.439 to have time to cook all day because we'll be 0:18:40.520 --> 0:18:42.760 sleeping quite a bit. So why don't we make all 0:18:42.800 --> 0:18:45.280 the side dishes and then we'll get one of those 0:18:45.320 --> 0:18:48.080 turkeys at a local restaurant, like a barbecue turkey, and 0:18:48.119 --> 0:18:49.680 you just put it in the oven for a couple 0:18:49.720 --> 0:18:52.000 hours rather than all day. Right, So it's all right, 0:18:52.040 --> 0:18:53.040 that's a good idea. 0:18:53.400 --> 0:18:53.800 Why not. 0:18:54.040 --> 0:18:56.640 That's a very boogie thing to do. I'm all about it. 0:18:56.960 --> 0:19:01.000 So she ordered this turkey a couple days before and 0:19:01.200 --> 0:19:03.959 just put in the oven, good to go. So I 0:19:04.000 --> 0:19:05.639 had to go pick up the turkey. I'm on a 0:19:05.680 --> 0:19:08.359 turkey run, so I'm a little bleary eyed. I didn't 0:19:08.359 --> 0:19:11.439 get much sleep. I wake up. I scramble over to 0:19:11.480 --> 0:19:14.679 get to the barbecue restaurant there, local restaurant there to 0:19:14.680 --> 0:19:17.240 pick up the bird. But they got a whole racket, 0:19:17.280 --> 0:19:20.080 Like this place has a whole racket. They have a 0:19:20.320 --> 0:19:24.399 refrigerated two refrigerated trucks in the parking lot. I guess 0:19:24.400 --> 0:19:26.040 a lot. I didn't know this was a thing. Did 0:19:26.040 --> 0:19:27.560 you know this was the thing that I didn't realize 0:19:27.560 --> 0:19:28.960 this was the thing? Yeah? 0:19:29.040 --> 0:19:32.399 Yeah, because remember I told the story last Thanksgiving? How 0:19:32.680 --> 0:19:32.919 I did? 0:19:33.040 --> 0:19:33.920 You did do this? Right? 0:19:34.000 --> 0:19:34.280 Yeah? 0:19:34.640 --> 0:19:34.840 Okay? 0:19:34.920 --> 0:19:37.440 Sorry? I picked up from Loose Seals and I couldn't 0:19:37.480 --> 0:19:38.800 find their mobile truck. 0:19:39.520 --> 0:19:42.439 Okay, so I picked up. I went to pick up 0:19:42.480 --> 0:19:45.840 the bird there in the parking lot, and there was 0:19:45.880 --> 0:19:50.000 a line of about fifteen people. But I figured that 0:19:50.080 --> 0:19:53.679 it would move relatively fast, right, So I parked the car, 0:19:54.080 --> 0:19:57.400 I hop in line, and I ended up having PTSD 0:19:57.440 --> 0:20:00.399 because it felt very much like COVID waiting outside Costco. 0:20:01.720 --> 0:20:06.840 The line did not move. I ended up online. I waited. 0:20:06.920 --> 0:20:08.879 It was such a poop show, Danny, I ended up 0:20:08.880 --> 0:20:13.080 waiting for well, Originally it was like I looked at 0:20:13.119 --> 0:20:17.240 thirty minutes, and then it got to forty five, and 0:20:17.320 --> 0:20:20.400 then and then we got to sixty. It took seventy 0:20:20.520 --> 0:20:26.280 five minutes online before they figured out my order and 0:20:26.359 --> 0:20:28.080 to get me the bird. 0:20:29.200 --> 0:20:30.760 What was the hold up? 0:20:32.080 --> 0:20:33.679 They didn't know what they were doing. I don't know, 0:20:33.720 --> 0:20:36.840 I mean, they didn't. They were like apologetic, they were like, 0:20:36.880 --> 0:20:38.919 I'm sorry, you know, it's not. We're working on it, 0:20:38.960 --> 0:20:40.680 you know. And they were smiling and all this stuff, 0:20:40.680 --> 0:20:44.440 but we were in it was ridiculous. And I don't 0:20:44.440 --> 0:20:46.120 know what the delay was. I have no idea. Maybe 0:20:46.160 --> 0:20:48.400 they ran out of turkey, but they appeared to have 0:20:48.920 --> 0:20:52.480 trucks full of food. I have no idea. But that 0:20:52.600 --> 0:20:55.919 was a tough one. So and now what was your Thanksgiving? 0:20:55.960 --> 0:20:58.000 Like with the kid and all that, you have to 0:20:58.119 --> 0:21:00.560 drag the child around a different houses. 0:21:03.200 --> 0:21:06.919 Nah, we just did a small family get together at home, 0:21:07.520 --> 0:21:12.800 turkey all day long in the oven, made stuffing. Bought 0:21:12.840 --> 0:21:17.680 a couple of sides from fire Stone Fire Stone Fire Grill. 0:21:17.840 --> 0:21:18.879
