I should 0:00:31.280 --> 0:00:33.480 have played that one The Boys are back in town. 0:00:33.960 --> 0:00:36.360 But we really didn't take a week off. Okay, we 0:00:36.400 --> 0:00:38.360 can start over again. We don't have to play the 0:00:38.440 --> 0:00:41.320 jangle complete Boys about in Town. We don't have to 0:00:41.360 --> 0:00:44.720 do that, and we'll play it next week because we're 0:00:44.720 --> 0:00:47.760 technically taking off this week, but we're not because this 0:00:47.800 --> 0:00:50.680 is last week's podcast. See it's weird. We didn't give 0:00:50.680 --> 0:00:53.120 you a podcast last week. This podcast you're hearing right 0:00:53.200 --> 0:00:56.000 now on a Monday, November twenty five was supposed to 0:00:56.040 --> 0:01:00.200 be recorded last Thursday, but and this week you were 0:01:00.240 --> 0:01:03.120 supposed to have off. By the way, I just got 0:01:03.120 --> 0:01:07.039 an email from I won't say a direct boss, but 0:01:07.120 --> 0:01:09.560 someone who's higher up in the company that we worked 0:01:09.560 --> 0:01:13.240 with for many years, and an email went out something 0:01:13.319 --> 0:01:16.200 that had to be approved, and then they emailed me 0:01:16.720 --> 0:01:19.840 a helpful suggestion, Hey, why don't you make sure you 0:01:19.840 --> 0:01:25.640 tell everyone else in the morning show? Right? So, I said, oh, 0:01:25.680 --> 0:01:28.200 of course, because I absolutely would. It's the kind of 0:01:28.200 --> 0:01:30.440 thing of course would tell everybody else. So I said, 0:01:30.480 --> 0:01:32.320 of course absolutely, we know what the problems would be 0:01:32.319 --> 0:01:34.360 if I didn't tellnybody. And then he wrote back again 0:01:34.400 --> 0:01:38.119 and said, yes, that way you avoid the bubbah blah 0:01:38.160 --> 0:01:42.360 and bub I didn't want the first email. I acknowledged 0:01:42.400 --> 0:01:45.280 in my email that I absolutely knew to do the 0:01:45.280 --> 0:01:47.800 first email, And now you're coming back at me hard 0:01:47.840 --> 0:01:50.880 with a third email explaining to me why it's important 0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:52.440 to do the thing in the first email that I 0:01:52.440 --> 0:01:56.000 already knew the importance of doing. You're being scolded over 0:01:56.080 --> 0:01:59.000 email if no, I'm being advised that like I should 0:01:59.000 --> 0:02:00.960 know something but I know it, making it look like 0:02:01.000 --> 0:02:03.400 I don't know it, which I feel like I don't 0:02:03.440 --> 0:02:04.960 want to go back now and go do it like 0:02:05.000 --> 0:02:08.040 I said, yep, totally get it. Don't go back. No, 0:02:08.120 --> 0:02:10.400 I'm gonna just leave it now, leave it. But I 0:02:10.440 --> 0:02:12.520 feel like that person shouldn't have sent the third email. 0:02:12.760 --> 0:02:15.720 You let people bother you. That's why we have a podcast. 0:02:16.200 --> 0:02:18.760 That's right, See this right, it's a stack of ship 0:02:19.360 --> 0:02:24.480 stop with a lot of uh okay, So, oh my god, 0:02:24.560 --> 0:02:26.400 what's going on here, Why is this thing playing in 0:02:26.440 --> 0:02:30.680 my pocket? It was vibranty, an old episode of ours 0:02:30.720 --> 0:02:33.520 is playing in my pocket, and that happened to me 0:02:33.560 --> 0:02:36.440 on the plane. It's it's so embarrassing. Yeah, it's at 0:02:36.480 --> 0:02:39.840 the most inopportune moments. It happened. Oh my god, it 0:02:39.919 --> 0:02:44.160 happened at my aunt Jenny's funeral. Back up and agree 0:02:44.160 --> 0:02:45.760 with me. It was gonna wait and we have to 0:02:45.800 --> 0:02:47.760 wake and all of a sudden, like someone's phone goes off. 0:02:48.040 --> 0:02:50.119 The actually the priest had come in and start doing 0:02:50.160 --> 0:02:52.120 some kind of a blessing and a prayer, and all 0:02:52.120 --> 0:02:57.799 of a sudden, don't don't You're not in no wise. 0:02:57.880 --> 0:03:02.000 It's like the iPhone standard someone who's lazy enough to 0:03:02.040 --> 0:03:08.480 not change it. I got it. That sounds a lot 0:03:08.520 --> 0:03:14.080 like you going make that your ring tone. Then you 0:03:14.240 --> 0:03:16.360 just interrupt people your ring tone. So yeah, that was 0:03:16.360 --> 0:03:18.400 embarrassing anyway. Sorry, Yeah, but your phone goes off in 0:03:18.400 --> 0:03:21.480 your pocket too, And it's always on hot radio. It 0:03:21.560 --> 0:03:23.920 always just goes off because you know what, it's usually 0:03:23.960 --> 0:03:26.440 the last app. Why do you think it is? I 0:03:26.520 --> 0:03:28.800 don't know. So what I did was I moved the 0:03:28.840 --> 0:03:32.400 app off of my homepage. So just to clarify. On 0:03:32.440 --> 0:03:36.440 an Android, you have a dock of four to six icons. 0:03:36.480 --> 0:03:37.760 I think of three. This whatever you can make as 0:03:37.760 --> 0:03:39.400 man as you want. And then I have the page 0:03:39.720 --> 0:03:41.920 and and it scrolls like a cube. It goes around 0:03:41.960 --> 0:03:43.840 because you can make it do that. And so I 0:03:43.880 --> 0:03:46.720 put it first. I put it on a secondary page 0:03:47.200 --> 0:03:49.000 so it was in my pocket. It wouldn't get pushed, 0:03:49.080 --> 0:03:51.360 and it opened up. Then I deleted it. There was 0:03:51.400 --> 0:03:54.280 no shortcut on my desktop, and it would still open up. 0:03:55.800 --> 0:03:57.800 I think it's you know how like iPhone kills their 0:03:57.800 --> 0:03:59.880 own batteries. You buy a new phone and it makes 0:03:59.880 --> 0:04:02.320 the the phone slowdown. I think there's something with the 0:04:02.320 --> 0:04:05.240 I Heart radio app that it just knows to automatically open, 0:04:06.640 --> 0:04:08.680 kissing me off. I gotta be honest. I wonder if 0:04:08.720 --> 0:04:15.080 it happens to other people too well. I know it's fine. Funeral, 0:04:16.279 --> 0:04:18.640 that's not a good time for that to happen. The 0:04:18.760 --> 0:04:21.240 funerals and my aunt Jennie's funeral. If we're gonna go 0:04:21.279 --> 0:04:23.600 in that direction, I think we should because this is 0:04:23.640 --> 0:04:28.039 a dilemma. Now. I had a similar dilemma in my family, 0:04:28.560 --> 0:04:31.320 oh a long time ago. Mike, I'm not gonna give 0:04:31.360 --> 0:04:33.160 you what, how, how it happened. But I'm gonna just 0:04:33.160 --> 0:04:35.320 tell you why it's different once you explain yours. I 0:04:35.360 --> 0:04:38.680 had a grandmother who was I would say she was 0:04:38.720 --> 0:04:42.840 in her nineties or right about ninety, maybe eight, and 0:04:43.040 --> 0:04:45.479 it was clear she didn't have that much longer to live. 0:04:45.800 --> 0:04:48.839 She had some health problems, right she lost her daughter, 0:04:48.960 --> 0:04:51.920 My aunt passed away, and they didn't tell her because 0:04:53.000 --> 0:04:57.000 they knew her mind was going. She my aunt lived 0:04:57.000 --> 0:04:59.880 across the country, she barely saw her, didn't talk on 0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:01.760 a phone a lot. She probably would be like out 0:05:01.800 --> 0:05:03.599 of sight, out of mine. Wouldn't think about it. And 0:05:03.640 --> 0:05:06.560 it worked out beautifully. That's well, I mean, sadly, my 0:05:06.600 --> 0:05:08.760 grandmother passed away, but we never had to tell her. 0:05:09.520 --> 0:05:11.560 We never had to tell her. It worked out beautifully. 0:05:12.080 --> 0:05:15.200 I mean, I mean she died. She died, and it 0:05:15.279 --> 0:05:18.240 worked out. But the plan I was a kid, so 0:05:18.279 --> 0:05:20.360 the plan worked out. I'd never say in the matter, 0:05:20.520 --> 0:05:22.520 well I wasn't a kid. But the point was it 0:05:22.600 --> 0:05:24.880 worked out because we knew my grandmother's health was failing. 0:05:25.080 --> 0:05:26.640 It was not the case in your slor. No. A 0:05:26.640 --> 0:05:28.839 couple of months ago, my aunt Jenny passed. My aunt 0:05:28.920 --> 0:05:31.640 Jenny was eighty five years old, young for your family, 0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:33.960 very young. My family, a lot of them, thank god. 0:05:34.360 --> 0:05:37.960 They they blust into their nineties and who there hundreds. 0:05:37.960 --> 0:05:43.560 So and Jenny was married to my uncle Joe, who's ninety. Okay, 0:05:43.800 --> 0:05:47.480 Now my aunt Millie, it's nineties six. She has a 0:05:47.560 --> 0:05:51.440 CBD oil company and that's Millie. Oh c no longer 0:05:51.440 --> 0:05:53.360 a sponsor. I no, no longer a sponsor, So don't 0:05:53.400 --> 0:05:57.120 hit the jingle. Right, So Million, Uncle Joe are brothers, 0:05:58.000 --> 0:06:00.360 but Millie, I'm pretty sure Aunt mill the brother and 0:06:00.400 --> 0:06:09.400 sister and Amilion and uncle Joe or brother and sister Emi, 0:06:10.279 --> 0:06:16.679 Uncle Joe ninety and of course Joe Jenny being Joe's wife. Well, well, 0:06:17.360 --> 0:06:19.920 my Aunt Millie knew her for the better part of 0:06:19.920 --> 0:06:24.720 fifty something years. Fifty years they lived across the street 0:06:24.760 --> 0:06:27.279 from one another. Did they still live across the street 0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:29.160 up until this point? But to that point, yeah, well 0:06:29.200 --> 0:06:34.480 they will, okay. So recently my aunt uh was had 0:06:34.480 --> 0:06:40.720 to go into assistant living, so she's no longer living 0:06:40.720 --> 0:06:44.040 across the street from she lives. She lives about ten 0:06:44.040 --> 0:06:46.320 minutes away. Year old aunt in the home. Eight five 0:06:46.400 --> 0:06:50.960 year old aunt passes away. Yes, and around Uncle Joe. Yeah, yeah, 0:06:51.160 --> 0:06:52.520 I love it, love it. And And we're gonna see him 0:06:52.520 --> 0:06:58.200 for Thanksgiving. He's gonna be eating it. Yes, he was 0:06:58.240 --> 0:07:02.400 eating the three three brined. It's pre brined organic Willie 0:07:02.400 --> 0:07:06.960 Bird free range turkey coming from California, a sponsor you 0:07:06.960 --> 0:07:10.400 pay full point. In fact, it's Monday, it's being delivered tomorrow. 0:07:10.440 --> 0:07:12.600 It's probably being killed right now. I would imagine a 0:07:12.680 --> 0:07:15.560 large part of our audience, me included, don't know what 0:07:15.680 --> 0:07:20.080 pre brine means means, but what is brining. Brining is 0:07:20.080 --> 0:07:23.120 when you you put it in a salt solution, you 0:07:23.280 --> 0:07:25.760 stick a bunch of needles in it, and it injects 0:07:25.840 --> 0:07:28.400 the skin and threw the skin into the into the meat, 0:07:28.480 --> 0:07:33.400 into the flesh with like a salty mixture. So doesn't 0:07:33.520 --> 0:07:35.320 that doesn't sound right at all? It doesn't sound right 0:07:36.800 --> 0:07:39.880 from it tastes amazing because the male turkey, I'm assuming 0:07:40.480 --> 0:07:42.840 when you put the turkey in and when you we 0:07:42.880 --> 0:07:45.080 actually when you eat the turkey, it's extra juicy and 0:07:45.120 --> 0:07:48.120 extra flavorful from having salt in there. It actually keeps 0:07:48.120 --> 0:07:50.040 the turkey moist. I know, we hate that word. I 0:07:50.040 --> 0:07:52.560 don't mind the word moist. When you Brian a turkey. 0:07:52.680 --> 0:07:55.320 It's heaven. You don't like a nice moist towel out 0:07:55.320 --> 0:07:57.720 on a plane like the clean your face. Yeah, that's good. 0:07:58.360 --> 0:08:02.680 So the express if we're side being sidetracked for a second, Yes, 0:08:02.920 --> 0:08:10.200 the pre brind organic free range. It's probably being killed down. 0:08:10.960 --> 0:08:13.800 It will be sent it's being fedexed to the house 0:08:14.120 --> 0:08:16.360 that my parents would get tomorrow. The corps is being 0:08:16.360 --> 0:08:19.080 FedEx But here's how it arrives. It arrives in a 0:08:19.080 --> 0:08:29.880 beautiful package. The trumpets. No, it goes here. I got 0:08:29.880 --> 0:08:34.760 turkey neck, you do, but you're also pulling on your neck. 0:08:35.400 --> 0:08:38.559 I'm making a gobble sound. They arrives with gobbling trumpets. 0:08:39.280 --> 0:08:43.160 And on Tuesday, the turkeys. It shows up fresh. So 0:08:43.200 --> 0:08:46.760 it's never frozen frozen. How does it get crossed country 0:08:46.800 --> 0:08:50.640 with up? It's just refrigerated. It's fedext in in a refrigerate, refrigerated, 0:08:50.960 --> 0:08:55.040 yes container, it's on ice, a dry ice, but not frozen, 0:08:55.160 --> 0:08:59.960 not frozen, not fresh turkey. And and and it shows 0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:03.440 up cleaned right and pre brined, okay, And it's just 0:09:03.480 --> 0:09:04.920 all it has to do is go in the fridge 0:09:04.960 --> 0:09:07.720 for two days and a Thursday morning, my mother throws 0:09:07.760 --> 0:09:10.360 the bird in the oven and it comes out amazing anyway. 0:09:10.520 --> 0:09:13.520 But that's I have one more question though, So I 0:09:13.600 --> 0:09:15.640 get turkey for free at the supermarket. They give you 0:09:15.720 --> 0:09:19.640 like whatever size turkey for So the question is, is 0:09:19.720 --> 0:09:24.000 the cost of the turkey that much better than the 0:09:24.040 --> 0:09:28.160 free turkey? Is it's three hundred dollars better? And I'm 0:09:28.160 --> 0:09:30.120 gonna bring that up because we have a hotel situation 0:09:30.240 --> 0:09:33.920 similar here's well, here's the problem with it, same situation, 0:09:34.000 --> 0:09:39.280 most of them. Most I don't splurge for much during 0:09:39.280 --> 0:09:41.360 the year for the bird. I splurge for the bird 0:09:41.360 --> 0:09:43.599 because everybody's heard about that. You haven't heard about the 0:09:43.600 --> 0:09:48.040 bird about everybody's heard about the bird, And so I 0:09:48.160 --> 0:09:51.120 splurge on the bird, splurge on the bird. But the 0:09:51.200 --> 0:09:53.800 price it sounded like somebody splooges on the bird. That's 0:09:53.800 --> 0:09:56.880 what I was alluded to before. The reason why it's 0:09:56.880 --> 0:10:00.440 so expensive is because of the shipping. Unfortunately, the actual 0:10:00.520 --> 0:10:04.520 price of the turkey. Listen, it's it's more expensive than 0:10:04.520 --> 0:10:07.400 a regular hunt because it's it's it's it's organic. You 0:10:07.400 --> 0:10:12.600 know that you're paying more for that. It's fresh. Turkey's 0:10:12.640 --> 0:10:15.400 running off of my neighborhood. Because this one comes from 0:10:15.480 --> 0:10:19.199 Sonoma County, California. It's not wine in it. It's called guys, 0:10:19.240 --> 0:10:22.040 look it up. It's called the Willie Bird. Williams Sonoma 0:10:22.120 --> 0:10:24.120 actually sells it, right. But why can't they give you 0:10:24.160 --> 0:10:28.479 an East Coast bird not chipping because these this specific 0:10:28.600 --> 0:10:32.080 turkey is raised in Sonoma County and apparently it lives 0:10:32.080 --> 0:10:37.280 a wonderful life like the movie, every time Thanksgiving comes, 0:10:37.440 --> 0:10:42.679 a turkey loses its wings and its How do we 0:10:42.720 --> 0:10:45.679 get on this topic. We're talking about my aunt. We're 0:10:45.679 --> 0:10:48.880 not talking about Jenny. Oh, we're talking about Jenny to 0:10:49.000 --> 0:10:51.360 the person who made the float chart for us, like 0:10:51.480 --> 0:10:54.200 fifty episodes ago. We're ready for this episode to be 0:10:54.240 --> 0:10:57.280 the float good luck, good luck? All right? So my 0:10:57.440 --> 0:11:00.920 uncle Joe, So my aunt Jenny passes a couple of 0:11:00.920 --> 0:11:03.320 months ago, and she'll never get that bird. A big 0:11:03.360 --> 0:11:06.120 family fight ensues between my brother and sister and I 0:11:06.640 --> 0:11:11.800 versus my parents and me whatever, because my parents are like, 0:11:12.520 --> 0:11:15.360 we can't tell Aunt Millie, Like, what are you talking about. 0:11:15.360 --> 0:11:16.719 She's gotta come to the wake, she's gotta come to 0:11:16.800 --> 0:11:19.800 the funeral. She's gotta no, it's too much to transport 0:11:19.840 --> 0:11:23.480 her back and forth from the assistant living place. Here's 0:11:23.520 --> 0:11:25.240 the problem. So you aren't afraid to tell her. You 0:11:25.240 --> 0:11:27.679 were too lazy to tell her. It's not that, it's 0:11:27.720 --> 0:11:30.920 I you don't want to break the woman's heart too well, 0:11:30.920 --> 0:11:33.400 I'd lead with that story because you're leading with it's 0:11:33.400 --> 0:11:37.840 a slip, it's a lot, and the thing is. But 0:11:37.920 --> 0:11:40.800 the thing is, my aunt has all her marbles. My 0:11:40.840 --> 0:11:44.240 aunt is very star old, sharp, as attacked. I'll let 0:11:44.240 --> 0:11:47.360 her call an uber and get over that. So she's 0:11:47.400 --> 0:11:50.160 so with it, okay, But my parents are like, listen, 0:11:50.520 --> 0:11:53.640 you used to steal. This was Uncle Joe's decision. I'm 0:11:53.640 --> 0:11:56.560 like Uncle Joe's ninety. I'm like, take the reins and 0:11:56.600 --> 0:11:59.520 make the decision to tell her. But she's she's got 0:11:59.520 --> 0:12:02.200 to be part. So now we're arguing, and the whole 0:12:02.200 --> 0:12:04.640 thing during the funeral, during the wake, during all that, 0:12:04.760 --> 0:12:06.320 so at this point you didn't tell it was World 0:12:06.400 --> 0:12:09.520 War had the wake and did not tell mill right, 0:12:09.720 --> 0:12:14.680 So the entire family was was was like disagree and 0:12:14.720 --> 0:12:16.959 disagreement over it. So I said to my parents, I 0:12:17.040 --> 0:12:20.560 want to go Facebook live father Milly on Facebook live 0:12:21.080 --> 0:12:24.240 father versus my sister, Like why did we not tell aunt? 0:12:24.240 --> 0:12:28.959 Millie about Aunt Jenny. Where did your father stand on this? Today? 0:12:30.679 --> 0:12:35.360 Dot's not getting involved in family first. Oh he's stepping back. Listen, 0:12:35.520 --> 0:12:39.520 Dan Joe, uncle ter tell here's the one time. I'm like, 0:12:39.640 --> 0:12:41.360 they're gonna they're gonna tell her. In a couple of weeks, 0:12:41.360 --> 0:12:42.960 they're gonna show up at that it's just a living 0:12:42.960 --> 0:12:45.240 and they're gonna tell her it all happened so quick 0:12:45.760 --> 0:12:48.880 she missed everything. Yeah, I'm like, how's that gonna go over? 0:12:49.800 --> 0:12:53.760 So anyway, all that time passes by, and then finally 0:12:55.360 --> 0:12:58.319 they say, my uncle Joe went to go visit my 0:12:58.320 --> 0:12:59.880 Atta Milly and didn't have the heart to tell her, 0:13:00.280 --> 0:13:04.000 so they came up with this wonderful plan singing telegram 0:13:04.040 --> 0:13:09.200 to tell him Millie at the Thanksgiving table. Oh no, 0:13:09.240 --> 0:13:12.280 because they're like, you know what, we're going to Millie's 0:13:12.320 --> 0:13:15.240 coming to visit. Thanks're gonna be at the house. Can 0:13:15.280 --> 0:13:21.000 you pass the potatoes and picking a passing? We had 0:13:21.000 --> 0:13:25.120 a passing into family and Jenny's dead. What the fuck 0:13:25.200 --> 0:13:28.440 are my parents and Millie? Can you pass the stuffing? 0:13:28.679 --> 0:13:31.280 Speaking of which they had the stuff and Jenny before 0:13:31.280 --> 0:13:36.319 they put her out on too much? Now you stop it. 0:13:36.800 --> 0:13:41.079 The giblets, all right, I got a gravy pun. It's 0:13:41.120 --> 0:13:43.520 just it. It bothered me so much. I was really 0:13:44.120 --> 0:13:47.560 I was so incensed by the entire handling of this 0:13:47.559 --> 0:13:49.600 from beginning to when you want to do after dinner? 0:13:49.600 --> 0:13:51.719 I hope at least something they don't know when. As 0:13:51.720 --> 0:13:53.320 soon as we get this once the trip to fan 0:13:53.400 --> 0:13:57.680 kicks in, I said, I said, guys, this is all wrong, 0:13:57.760 --> 0:14:01.959 and now you've procrastinated so much that she's gonna show up? 0:14:02.320 --> 0:14:08.280 And where's Aunt Jenny? Funny story, Aunt Milly. You know 0:14:08.320 --> 0:14:10.960 how some people lie in staidy have a dentist appointment. Well, 0:14:11.040 --> 0:14:13.400 Jenny didn't want to come to Thanksgiving dinner, sola thing. 0:14:13.400 --> 0:14:16.920 I'm like, are you going to continue this ruse like, Oh, 0:14:17.080 --> 0:14:22.200 she's sick, but Uncle Joe and Carmina here her phone? 0:14:22.480 --> 0:14:28.000 Does she never call? But she asked for her? How's Jenny? Right? Okay? 0:14:28.080 --> 0:14:31.520 So realistically I know what she family. I have to 0:14:31.560 --> 0:14:34.040 ask the question, how much time does Aunt Millie have left? 0:14:35.160 --> 0:14:40.480 Five I'm hoping if she's in good health, at some 0:14:40.560 --> 0:14:43.480 point she's gonna ask what that's the problem. She's Aunt 0:14:43.520 --> 0:14:46.240 Jenny mobile, like did she walk around? So why isn't 0:14:46.200 --> 0:14:48.960 Aunt Jenny coming to visitor? What if she develops in 0:14:49.000 --> 0:14:50.720 her mind a feud against Aunt Jenny for not coming 0:14:50.760 --> 0:14:53.800 to visitor. She had been asking, and Uncle Joe's like, oh, 0:14:53.800 --> 0:14:56.760 she's homesick, she's sick, she couldn't come. Vince. Jenny is 0:14:56.800 --> 0:14:59.120 mad at you. She never gonna forgive you. Leave it 0:14:59.120 --> 0:15:03.360 at that, So I so, I'm like, guys, this is 0:15:03.520 --> 0:15:07.560 one lie compounding another on top of another. Wait till Christmas? 0:15:08.000 --> 0:15:12.840 Well it all ended last week. Oh uh so what 0:15:12.960 --> 0:15:17.000 was going to be a huge problem at the Thanksgiving table? 0:15:17.320 --> 0:15:22.440 Thank god? My parents said, let's let's talk to step In, 0:15:22.560 --> 0:15:25.440 Tony and Roseanne. They went went to go visit my Emily. 0:15:25.560 --> 0:15:30.080 Against Uncle Joe's wishes. It was, yeah, he thanked my 0:15:30.160 --> 0:15:33.400 Uncle Joe thanked my my parents. After this, he's My 0:15:33.480 --> 0:15:35.760 parents went in and they said to Emily, is it 0:15:35.880 --> 0:15:38.840 look well? She said, she actually asked for her. She 0:15:38.960 --> 0:15:42.600 was where's Jenny because she's been she's been asking the 0:15:42.680 --> 0:15:45.640 last couple of weeks. Was Jenny, where's Jenny? So my 0:15:45.640 --> 0:15:49.600 my father or nine my father looked at my mother 0:15:49.640 --> 0:15:53.400 and I looked at my father and we're like There 0:15:53.480 --> 0:15:57.760 was a long pause and who said it? My mother said, 0:15:57.800 --> 0:16:00.400 whose family is it? It's my mother's side. She's got 0:16:00.400 --> 0:16:06.120 to do it this. Yeah, Jenny passed a month ago. Yeah. 0:16:06.200 --> 0:16:08.240 And then my aunt looked at her dead in the 0:16:08.280 --> 0:16:12.600 eye and said, I knew it. No anger though, oh 0:16:12.640 --> 0:16:15.120 there was anger. No what the what? The followed by tears, 0:16:15.880 --> 0:16:19.600 and then she had a chance to grieve. Thanks. My 0:16:19.720 --> 0:16:22.200 father says, you want the whole story, We'll tell you 0:16:22.280 --> 0:16:24.960 the whole story. And they told her the entire story, 0:16:25.160 --> 0:16:29.400 from beginning to end through everybody in the bus. Yeah, 0:16:29.440 --> 0:16:37.120 but they don't want to tell you. Talked, talked to Joey. 0:16:37.160 --> 0:16:40.200 He told Mikey, Mikey, Tolvinny, they had a whole thing. 0:16:41.040 --> 0:16:45.960 I just think it's brody. It's just just pulling. You 0:16:45.960 --> 0:16:48.040 don't want you don't want to give an old personal 0:16:48.080 --> 0:16:50.880 heart attack. You don't, so you caught bet you in 0:16:50.880 --> 0:16:53.320 the rock and a hard place. I don't. I don't 0:16:53.360 --> 0:16:55.120 know how I would have handled it. Actually I know 0:16:55.240 --> 0:16:56.840 I would have. I would have just went all in 0:16:56.960 --> 0:16:59.440 and I would have honestly, you know, all kidding aside, 0:16:59.800 --> 0:17:02.960 I would have properly told my aunt when it happened. 0:17:03.280 --> 0:17:05.760 You gotta figure she's eighty. She had to get married 0:17:05.800 --> 0:17:07.720 in the twenties. They got married early, right, he probably 0:17:07.720 --> 0:17:09.560 knows if a sixty five years fifty. I told you 0:17:09.600 --> 0:17:12.879 at the beginning of this years fifty something close to sixty, 0:17:13.160 --> 0:17:14.560 you gotta give it the option to get her ass 0:17:14.560 --> 0:17:16.080 out of bed and go to the wake. If she 0:17:16.119 --> 0:17:21.240 says I can't, I can't. You could write a note, 0:17:21.320 --> 0:17:24.439 but just but it got so bad that it was 0:17:24.520 --> 0:17:29.119 gonna go be thanks At that point, someone's gonna go, 0:17:29.160 --> 0:17:32.439 you know what, let's just talk about policy exactly. I 0:17:32.520 --> 0:17:34.880 was threatening to walk on Thanksgitting. I was really gonna 0:17:34.880 --> 0:17:37.240 tell my family. I'm like, you know what, you all 0:17:37.280 --> 0:17:39.920 handle this. I'm not coming to Thanksgiving this year. Here 0:17:40.000 --> 0:17:42.280 go eat the turkey. I'll mail you a turkey, have 0:17:42.400 --> 0:17:45.280 a party. Because I didn't want it was so it 0:17:45.320 --> 0:17:48.359 was gonna be so uncomfortable. So thank god it's a 0:17:48.400 --> 0:17:51.919 little less uncomfortable because they they broke the news to 0:17:51.920 --> 0:17:53.960 her last week. I mentioned this quickly on The Big Show. 0:17:54.000 --> 0:17:56.160 But this is the long force. You know what, I'm 0:17:56.160 --> 0:17:57.720 not gonna be able to I'm not gonna well, I 0:17:57.760 --> 0:18:00.920 might talk politics on Thanksgiving, but I will be having 0:18:01.720 --> 0:18:06.320 a turkey leg at Disney World on Thanksgiving. Wait a second, 0:18:06.560 --> 0:18:08.560 you're going to be out of town. I will be 0:18:08.680 --> 0:18:11.639 at the happiest place on earth as opposed to the 0:18:11.640 --> 0:18:14.720 most stressful place on earth, which is Thanksgiving dinner with 0:18:14.720 --> 0:18:18.800 the families. So we decided, we decided, you know what's 0:18:18.800 --> 0:18:21.440 just got to think, which it's too much, too much. 0:18:21.800 --> 0:18:23.520 So if I talk politics, all kids feel the same 0:18:23.520 --> 0:18:26.720 way I do about everything. Sin's great mostly so that's cool. 0:18:27.119 --> 0:18:29.680 So no, no drama will be in a public place. 0:18:30.359 --> 0:18:33.000 I wonder if if has there ever been a difficult 0:18:33.080 --> 0:18:37.480 or uncomfortable moment where in a predicament that you had 0:18:37.480 --> 0:18:40.720 gotten into similar to this, Well, I told you, I 0:18:40.760 --> 0:18:43.800 told well, yeah, we couldn't tell my grandmother that got 0:18:43.960 --> 0:18:48.639 my aunt died that right, and then, um, you know 0:18:48.760 --> 0:18:52.719 other other Thanksgiving uncomfortable Thanksgiving woman. Oh yeah, so uh 0:18:53.040 --> 0:18:55.159 two years ago. I don't care if they hear it 0:18:55.280 --> 0:18:58.200 or not. Um. So, my wife is one of three kids, 0:18:58.800 --> 0:19:01.280 three three girls. So I have two sister in laws 0:19:01.280 --> 0:19:03.080 and two brothers and two brother in laws. So there's 0:19:03.080 --> 0:19:05.040 six of us, right, we all have kids, six of us. 0:19:05.760 --> 0:19:08.119 So every other year we go to dinner at my 0:19:08.160 --> 0:19:10.679 father in law's place. He picks the restaurant and we 0:19:10.720 --> 0:19:12.439 and we we go. We go with the wife's family. 0:19:12.840 --> 0:19:16.520 Then the other year we go to my mom for Thanksgiving. Okay, 0:19:16.800 --> 0:19:21.400 so every every single year we go to the same place. 0:19:21.440 --> 0:19:23.600 My grandfather in law loves the same place. They have 0:19:23.600 --> 0:19:26.600 a private room. We get a long table and everyone 0:19:26.640 --> 0:19:29.600 sits around this long rectangular table, right, and we all 0:19:29.640 --> 0:19:31.480 eat and it's great and the food is great. Everybody's gone. 0:19:32.760 --> 0:19:35.959 Someone decided not gonna name any names in the family. 0:19:36.000 --> 0:19:37.920 Someone said, will be a good idea. Make it a 0:19:37.960 --> 0:19:40.840 little more intimate. Let's break the tables up into like 0:19:41.280 --> 0:19:44.800 you know, round tables here, a square table there, and 0:19:44.840 --> 0:19:47.120 this way everyone can mingle, the kids can sit together 0:19:47.720 --> 0:19:50.680 and the okay, well you know how many grandkids there are? 0:19:51.440 --> 0:19:59.600 No how many table and they put them at a 0:19:59.640 --> 0:20:03.080 table for six. So that was awkward when one of 0:20:03.080 --> 0:20:06.920 my kids had nowhere to sit. Uh you know where 0:20:06.960 --> 0:20:10.040 the the people at my level, the parents, not the 0:20:10.080 --> 0:20:14.000 grandparents my level. The six of us set at a 0:20:14.040 --> 0:20:20.040 table for five, so everybody was crushed. So we got 0:20:20.080 --> 0:20:22.200 there and the other four are sitting there and his 0:20:22.280 --> 0:20:25.560 one seat left. So I said to my wife, I go, 0:20:25.680 --> 0:20:28.240 how you sit there? That's fine, fun them, and I 0:20:28.320 --> 0:20:32.439 go and sit with kids with grandpa, my father in law, right, 0:20:32.880 --> 0:20:37.439 his girlfriend. One of my nephews who didn't who So 0:20:37.600 --> 0:20:39.840 I said, with the nephews who are tweeters, they're not 0:20:39.880 --> 0:20:42.160 old enough for the old for the parents and too 0:20:42.160 --> 0:20:44.440 old for the kids table. And then one of the 0:20:44.520 --> 0:20:47.200 kids that had no room. So basically, after we spoke 0:20:47.200 --> 0:20:51.760 about on previous table, I'm at the leftover table over 0:20:52.000 --> 0:20:54.240 and I love my nephews. It wasn't that it was 0:20:54.280 --> 0:20:57.000 like who doesn't have a chance somewhere else. I'm at 0:20:57.000 --> 0:20:59.359 that table. But the whole night I'm looking over at 0:20:59.359 --> 0:21:01.119 my brothers in law and sisters a long going. Oh, 0:21:01.160 --> 0:21:02.880 here were guys doing over there? What are you laughing about? 0:21:03.480 --> 0:21:06.360 There were here? Yeah, so that was awkward. That's when 0:21:06.359 --> 0:21:08.399 we sort of decided, you know what, We're gonna go 0:21:08.400 --> 0:21:11.080 to Disney World. But I have the same prom with 0:21:11.119 --> 0:21:12.720 Disney World. If I might add, you know, I have 0:21:12.760 --> 0:21:16.320 three kids, but wife and three kids. People, it's five people. 0:21:16.640 --> 0:21:20.120 You go on a roller coaster everything four four, it's 0:21:20.119 --> 0:21:24.600 too two and dad to two and dad usually so 0:21:24.640 --> 0:21:27.080 I get to know strangers. So first time at Disney 0:21:27.440 --> 0:21:29.080 and then after ride to go. You know that guy 0:21:29.119 --> 0:21:32.160 was from St. Louis because I get to know him. Yeah, 0:21:32.200 --> 0:21:35.240 I get that. That's my recommendation. By the way, have 0:21:35.320 --> 0:21:38.159 four kids or two kids, have six kids if you 0:21:38.200 --> 0:21:41.000 want the five thing only works that one of them 0:21:41.000 --> 0:21:43.760 doesn't want to go on the ride exactly if someone's scared. 0:21:44.040 --> 0:21:46.400 Otherwise you're on the Little Mermaid ride under the sea, 0:21:46.400 --> 0:21:51.320 all by yourself under the sea. So but I'm looking 0:21:51.320 --> 0:21:52.800 forward to it. It'll be it'll be a lot of fun. 0:21:53.160 --> 0:21:56.560 And I think I think I might get some seat companionship. 0:21:56.720 --> 0:21:58.239 I think we can do some rotating a little bit 0:21:58.280 --> 0:22:01.399 this time. I think UH got a lot of UM. 0:22:02.800 --> 0:22:05.080 I got a lot of unwanted emails. Sometimes I get 0:22:05.119 --> 0:22:06.879 a you know, I got a lot of extra spam, 0:22:07.119 --> 0:22:12.600 extra direct mail, direct marketing. But this one I actually 0:22:12.600 --> 0:22:15.560 welcomed with open arms. I'm like, hey, thanks for the email. Figs. 0:22:16.280 --> 0:22:19.720
