I was like, wow, you're cooking 0:09:21.520 --> 0:09:22.199 for twenty people. 0:09:22.400 --> 0:09:24.800 No, my aunt, my aunt does most of the cooking. 0:09:24.920 --> 0:09:28.760 My mom brings pies, and everybody kind of, you know, similar, 0:09:28.800 --> 0:09:32.800 everyone kind of brings the thing they love my family stuffing. 0:09:32.960 --> 0:09:36.199 Because my mom's side of the family is Maltese. It 0:09:36.400 --> 0:09:39.760 isn't stuffing, it's dressing. But we always called it stuffing. 0:09:40.120 --> 0:09:40.760 What does that mean. 0:09:40.800 --> 0:09:44.120 It's flavorful grease, that's what it is. 0:09:44.679 --> 0:09:50.800 So you meet it's like meat and rice and celery, 0:09:51.080 --> 0:09:55.040 and it gets stuffed inside the turkeys, cooked inside the turkey, 0:09:55.360 --> 0:09:58.240 inside the turkey, so it's got all those juices. Yeah yeah, 0:09:58.360 --> 0:10:00.880 which is really good, delicious, all the juices and whatever. 0:10:01.080 --> 0:10:03.440 So it is kind of greasy, but it's also meat. 0:10:03.640 --> 0:10:07.520 It's like, what type of grease. It's very greasy. It's very. 0:10:09.280 --> 0:10:11.280 Carefully careful, so it's okay. 0:10:11.679 --> 0:10:13.840 What I'm saying is like when I saw a very 0:10:13.880 --> 0:10:15.920 tipang of Christmas, I was like, wow, what what a 0:10:16.160 --> 0:10:18.760 what a mean girl forcing everyone to do her traditions. 0:10:18.800 --> 0:10:20.640 And then I realized the first time I ever went 0:10:20.800 --> 0:10:23.120 to official holidays, well, you know, you can't do this 0:10:23.160 --> 0:10:26.720 stuffing now that someone a non alien is here. It's 0:10:26.840 --> 0:10:30.679 It's truly it was an insane way to celebrate. And 0:10:30.760 --> 0:10:31.719 now I think I fixed it. 0:10:32.360 --> 0:10:34.800 I told that he's still the only person who I make. 0:10:34.880 --> 0:10:36.880 I make regular stuffing for him, and he's the only 0:10:36.920 --> 0:10:39.559 person who eats it. No one else eats it, No, 0:10:39.800 --> 0:10:43.040 no one else cares at all. Old top like, yeah, okay, 0:10:43.240 --> 0:10:45.760 he just stuffing. Yeah, he just likes box like stovetop. 0:10:45.880 --> 0:10:47.720 Well, now I'm going to make you yeh. 0:10:47.760 --> 0:10:49.800 Yeah, I would rather have Susans. But I'm saying, yeah, 0:10:50.120 --> 0:10:51.160 that's the style. 0:10:51.000 --> 0:10:54.439 Right right, yeah, stuffing, stuffing, Yeah, I get that. We 0:10:54.880 --> 0:10:55.319 didn't do that. 0:10:55.400 --> 0:10:57.960 Wow, it's dressing, yeah, but we we don't call it dressing. 0:10:58.040 --> 0:10:59.680 We call it stuffing. So it was also very confusing 0:10:59.679 --> 0:11:00.800 because it was like, yeah, we're gonna. 0:11:00.600 --> 0:11:02.040 Have stuffing, and is that maltesean? 0:11:02.400 --> 0:11:06.360 Yeah, it's it's like I think it's a Maltese dish. Yeah. 0:11:07.040 --> 0:11:07.319 Wow. 0:11:08.360 --> 0:11:11.880 We were as kids when we hit a seven or eight, 0:11:12.440 --> 0:11:14.800 were stripped and put in loincloths and then sent out 0:11:14.800 --> 0:11:15.600 to hunt our own dear. 0:11:15.880 --> 0:11:16.480 That's interesting. 0:11:17.200 --> 0:11:18.960 That's a tradition with just a butter knife. 0:11:20.200 --> 0:11:20.480 I did. 0:11:20.679 --> 0:11:26.319 I had another brother who disappeared to wild turkeys that 0:11:26.360 --> 0:11:27.080 you and so funny. 0:11:27.120 --> 0:11:28.880 I was talking to your dad because we were last 0:11:28.960 --> 0:11:30.600 night having which is another debate we can talk about. 0:11:30.640 --> 0:11:33.679 We're having a dark meat light meat conversation. Yeah, and 0:11:33.840 --> 0:11:35.880 what family you know who grabs the dark meat and 0:11:35.880 --> 0:11:37.679 who grabs a light meat. And your dad was so 0:11:37.720 --> 0:11:39.800 funny because he's at the kitchen and he's just like, well, 0:11:39.800 --> 0:11:41.680 obviously people aren't talking about wild turkeys. 0:11:41.720 --> 0:11:44.319 He's like, because dark meat is disgusting. He's like you 0:11:44.360 --> 0:11:47.640 don't want to the darkt Wilkey in general is disgusting. Well, 0:11:47.679 --> 0:11:48.880 he says, really, maybe that's. 0:11:48.720 --> 0:11:49.400 What turned me off. 0:11:49.400 --> 0:11:53.800 Of yeah, I mean having to clean your own animal too, 0:11:53.960 --> 0:11:56.240 Like it was never fun, Like I just never. 0:11:56.160 --> 0:11:58.680 I wonder you were a vegetarian, well, you know, honestly. 0:11:58.440 --> 0:12:01.920 Like, so I was raised a vegetarian and then started 0:12:01.960 --> 0:12:03.719 eat trading lunches and eating meat when I was like 0:12:03.800 --> 0:12:04.440 twelve or thirty. 0:12:04.559 --> 0:12:06.520 My parents didn't really care, you know, they weren't like 0:12:06.640 --> 0:12:08.040 enforcing it. So I started eating. 0:12:08.240 --> 0:12:10.760 Oh and then I also discovered fast food when I 0:12:10.840 --> 0:12:13.800 was around that age, like I would get whatever. But 0:12:13.960 --> 0:12:17.240 then in biology class, so this is when I was 0:12:17.360 --> 0:12:20.719 like fourteen fifteen, we dissected a rabbit and I was like, 0:12:21.280 --> 0:12:23.679 this is disgusting. I was so turned off, and I'm like, 0:12:23.840 --> 0:12:25.520 if I can't do this, I don't have the right 0:12:25.559 --> 0:12:28.600 to eat meat like that was. I should be willing 0:12:28.679 --> 0:12:31.560 to kill an animal and eat it or just ethically. 0:12:31.920 --> 0:12:34.000 And so I became a veginarian because of that, you know, 0:12:34.080 --> 0:12:35.960 because of my disdain for you know, I. 0:12:35.960 --> 0:12:38.559 Could help you the animals that we eat, that we 0:12:38.640 --> 0:12:41.080 get from the stores and stuff, they've all died from 0:12:41.200 --> 0:12:41.920 natural causes. 0:12:42.080 --> 0:12:45.120 Yeah, of old age, usually being loved by a family. 0:12:45.320 --> 0:12:45.520 Yeah. 0:12:46.520 --> 0:12:49.240 They died of being too loved yea, yeah, yeah, yeah. 0:12:49.120 --> 0:12:51.840 Too well fed, too well fed to love, to close 0:12:51.880 --> 0:12:53.680 their eyes, they give their friend. They're like, it's natural, 0:12:53.800 --> 0:12:57.439 Please use my body to sustain you. And then as 0:12:57.600 --> 0:13:02.120 they die, they automatically are cut into pieces. Yeah, and skinned. 0:13:02.240 --> 0:13:05.240 They it's only that's the circle of life. 0:13:06.040 --> 0:13:09.280 That's so much creepier and like like any of the 0:13:09.480 --> 0:13:14.160 actual factory farming vicious, that's worse. 0:13:14.080 --> 0:13:14.880 Like that exactly. 0:13:16.400 --> 0:13:21.640 It's so funny because I sacrificial animals, like happy meat animals. 0:13:22.080 --> 0:13:26.880 What that's our company, Happy animals. You know, we're growing 0:13:26.920 --> 0:13:29.600 synthetic meat, Like that's like chicken. I guess it wouldn't 0:13:29.600 --> 0:13:31.120 even be synthetic. It doesn't that make. 0:13:31.080 --> 0:13:33.920 Sense, Like if you could just grow meat and blockers 0:13:34.000 --> 0:13:34.680 like gas. 0:13:34.640 --> 0:13:36.240 And they can grow diamonds. I mean, I guess they 0:13:36.280 --> 0:13:37.760 can grow meat, right, but I. 0:13:37.760 --> 0:13:39.679 Mean if they can perfect that, that makes so much. 0:13:39.720 --> 0:13:42.200 If it's not a sentient bean, but it's still producing 0:13:42.280 --> 0:13:46.280 the flavors and the like. I guess. So I did. 0:13:46.760 --> 0:13:49.280 I dissected something in school and I was just the opposite. 0:13:49.280 --> 0:13:50.679 I was like, I didn't want to stop. I was 0:13:50.760 --> 0:13:53.920 so fascinated by everything that I seriously wanted to be started, 0:13:54.520 --> 0:14:01.880 Chili Cats, I, the Body Works. It was just, you know, 0:14:02.040 --> 0:14:04.120 everything was incredible. And so I thought to myself, like, 0:14:04.559 --> 0:14:06.160 I'm going to be a surgeon. That's what I'm going 0:14:06.200 --> 0:14:08.120 to be. And my mom was like, you got to 0:14:08.160 --> 0:14:09.720 get really good grades. And I was like, I'm going 0:14:09.800 --> 0:14:11.880 to be an actor. That's the best thing I'm going 0:14:11.960 --> 0:14:14.319 to do because I just you know, you but the 0:14:14.760 --> 0:14:18.000 the actual cutting into a body and fixing something and 0:14:18.080 --> 0:14:19.920 then closing it is so fascinating to me. 0:14:20.040 --> 0:14:21.800 So I can't I can't even watch like people. I 0:14:21.840 --> 0:14:24.400 know people watch like videos or like medical stuff. 0:14:24.480 --> 0:14:27.080 No, no, that doesn't bother me. It doesn't bother me 0:14:27.120 --> 0:14:27.360 at all. 0:14:27.680 --> 0:14:29.760 You know, that doesn't The videos and stuff don't bother me. 0:14:29.800 --> 0:14:31.720 And my dad's had multiple surgeries and we get the 0:14:32.160 --> 0:14:35.240 videos of inside, you know, like, and I can watch them. 0:14:35.280 --> 0:14:36.480 I'm like, oh, look at the carte. 0:14:37.480 --> 0:14:38.000 Such a whim. 0:14:38.160 --> 0:14:41.200 You never watch your Kolonoy videos. They're awesome every year 0:14:41.640 --> 0:14:42.000 every year. 0:14:43.160 --> 0:14:44.000 About writers, I love. 0:14:46.280 --> 0:14:47.240 Merchant. 0:14:47.320 --> 0:14:49.480 Yeah, I don't like them. I don't like everybody's but 0:14:49.600 --> 0:14:51.320 but writers videos are very good. 0:14:51.360 --> 0:14:52.160 Aren't they amazing? 0:14:52.440 --> 0:14:53.920 There's always that twists and turns. 0:14:57.280 --> 0:14:59.920 All right, well, what's one of your favorite Thanksgiving tradition? 0:15:01.840 --> 0:15:05.040 You know, I think it's it's it's okay. So I 0:15:05.160 --> 0:15:07.200 realized this again last night, and this is so stupid, 0:15:07.240 --> 0:15:08.800 but it's something again. Your dad and I were talking 0:15:08.800 --> 0:15:11.000 about some people have a love of this, and I do. 0:15:11.480 --> 0:15:14.880 I love cleaning the kitchen afterwards. Oh yeah, I love 0:15:15.120 --> 0:15:18.640 washing dishes every night. I do. I just I like 0:15:18.800 --> 0:15:21.000 hum away and my hands are in the warm water 0:15:21.120 --> 0:15:23.360 and I'm cleaning everything up. I don't there's something about 0:15:23.400 --> 0:15:25.920 it that I just I enjoy and I usually clean 0:15:26.000 --> 0:15:28.000 up the kitchen at our house. My wife and I 0:15:28.080 --> 0:15:30.520 cook together, and then I'm always doing the dishes. But 0:15:30.600 --> 0:15:31.960 there's something I don't know what it is. 0:15:32.040 --> 0:15:33.800 And it's funny. Your dad was like I was. 0:15:34.280 --> 0:15:36.520 He told me He's like, I was a professional a 0:15:36.680 --> 0:15:38.960 dishwasher for a while and he's like, I. 0:15:39.320 --> 0:15:40.000 Just enjoy it. 0:15:40.080 --> 0:15:42.200 And I'm the same way. I just kind of enjoy 0:15:42.320 --> 0:15:43.800 the process of cleaning up the kitchen. 0:15:43.760 --> 0:15:44.720 Totally, so totally. 0:15:45.280 --> 0:15:46.600 Yeah, and then all the little. 0:15:46.440 --> 0:15:50.880 Stuff, the conversations that break out in different groups, and yeah, 0:15:50.920 --> 0:15:53.480 it's just the whole day is pretty magical. And I 0:15:53.600 --> 0:15:56.240 was never a huge Thanksgiving person because when I moved 0:15:56.240 --> 0:16:00.440 out to LA I didn't go home at Thanksgiving and Christmas. 0:16:00.480 --> 0:16:02.000 I just went home for two weeks at Christmas. 0:16:02.040 --> 0:16:04.800 So Thanksgiving a lot of the time was me by myself, 0:16:04.920 --> 0:16:07.320 doing like a fast food or Marie Calendars or something 0:16:07.440 --> 0:16:10.120 like that. And then when my brother and I moved 0:16:10.160 --> 0:16:12.520 in together, we started cooking a real Thanksgiving dinner and 0:16:12.600 --> 0:16:14.120 having a couple friends over and that became more of 0:16:14.160 --> 0:16:14.400 a thing. 0:16:14.480 --> 0:16:16.320 But Thanksgiving was never really a thing. 0:16:16.560 --> 0:16:19.040 And then when Susan I got together, it's her favorite holiday, 0:16:19.080 --> 0:16:21.160 so it really took off and now it's like now 0:16:21.200 --> 0:16:21.600 I love it. 0:16:22.520 --> 0:16:23.760 But yeah, three years while you. 0:16:23.800 --> 0:16:25.800 Were taping, boy means world, you would sit a load 0:16:25.880 --> 0:16:27.280 of Ree calendars on Thanksgiving. 0:16:27.400 --> 0:16:29.760 No God, that's sad. They would deliver it to our house, 0:16:30.680 --> 0:16:31.800 deliver it to my house. 0:16:31.960 --> 0:16:33.560 Yeah, I wouldn't even leave the house. 0:16:33.720 --> 0:16:35.200 No God, that would never leave. 0:16:35.040 --> 0:16:39.360 It usually because then it was like we'd have because 0:16:39.360 --> 0:16:41.560 then I'd fly home again, like what, it's a three 0:16:41.560 --> 0:16:42.440 weeks later because. 0:16:42.200 --> 0:16:43.880 We'd have a well, and we weren't usually off for 0:16:43.960 --> 0:16:45.920
