1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,680
Welcome to Fit to Be Real and a little extra.

2
00:00:04,560 --> 00:00:06,560
Happy Thanksgiving, League.

3
00:00:06,560 --> 00:00:08,200
I am so excited.

4
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:10,320
This is the beginning of my happy time.

5
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:11,600
You love Thanksgiving.

6
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:13,320
Like you are, this is our tradition.

7
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:14,160
This is what we do.

8
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:15,000
Don't mess with it.

9
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:17,240
Well, that's like how you are with everything.

10
00:00:17,240 --> 00:00:18,960
Yeah, you're so fun.

11
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:20,960
But you're already decorated for Christmas.

12
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:21,800
Oh, heck yeah.

13
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:23,600
So like you love this holiday,

14
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:26,600
but you're overshadowing it at the same time.

15
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:30,040
Well, I've never decorated before Thanksgiving ever,

16
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:30,880
ever, ever, ever.

17
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:33,240
I always do it the day after Thanksgiving.

18
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:34,080
Except for last year.

19
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:35,080
Except for last year.

20
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:36,360
Well, I-

21
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:37,200
Correct.

22
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:38,960
We had dessert at your house without you.

23
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:43,200
And there were gingerbread standing little men everywhere.

24
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:45,320
And they're still, they're back up.

25
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:46,160
Okay, good.

26
00:00:46,160 --> 00:00:48,880
I do it when I feel like the year

27
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:51,320
that I've had needs more joy.

28
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:52,720
And I think you were going away.

29
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:53,560
So, great.

30
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:55,960
And I wanted to come back to a Christmas house

31
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:58,760
because I went to my in-laws for Thanksgiving last year.

32
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:03,200
I never get my tree until the Sunday after Thanksgiving.

33
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:06,680
I also feel like Thanksgiving is very late this year.

34
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:07,520
So we're getting-

35
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:08,360
It is late.

36
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:11,160
One less week to celebrate Christmas.

37
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,400
So I feel like I deserve one extra week.

38
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:14,240
So I definitely-

39
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:16,920
Oh, that's a good reminder.

40
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,120
And I don't care who knows it.

41
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:20,400
I see, I don't think it's a big deal.

42
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:22,680
If you want to do what you want to do, great.

43
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:23,960
People that put their nose up to it,

44
00:01:23,960 --> 00:01:25,600
I'm talking right to you.

45
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:26,720
You can over yourself.

46
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:28,440
But I do know that you love Thanksgiving.

47
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:29,280
So-

48
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:30,120
I do.

49
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:31,480
Because of the tradition,

50
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:35,040
like it's like the snowball to the rest of the season.

51
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:36,400
Into the holiday season, yeah.

52
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:40,600
The elves come and I am not a,

53
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,600
what you call a tradwife by any means.

54
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:44,440
A what?

55
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:45,280
A what?

56
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:46,120
A tradwife.

57
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:46,960
What's a tradwife?

58
00:01:46,960 --> 00:01:48,520
Are you not up on the TikTok?

59
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:51,840
Did you just ask me that question?

60
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:55,120
A tradwife is a traditional wife

61
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,800
who it's this big trend right now

62
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:01,080
with women basically cooking and cleaning

63
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:02,440
and taking care of the kids

64
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,080
and making sure everything's perfect for the man.

65
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:06,400
And they're very traditional

66
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:07,800
and they call themselves tradwives.

67
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:09,240
Well, maybe that's why we've gone back in time

68
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:10,240
with our government.

69
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:12,680
That's exactly why.

70
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:13,800
So why are we glorifying this?

71
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:15,920
No, because it's a trend on TikTok.

72
00:02:15,920 --> 00:02:18,800
I mean, I don't know the details,

73
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:22,240
but I don't think it's like, I want to be one.

74
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,000
It's just that there are these women out there

75
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:26,720
and they're young and they're influencers.

76
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,720
So here's the thing with all you young people.

77
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:34,160
Tradwives on Instagram and TikTok,

78
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,800
they're all young and they're influencers.

79
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:39,320
I like that you just said that twice.

80
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,280
Exactly this thing.

81
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,120
Cause I'm old and I need things repeated.

82
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:44,320
Yeah.

83
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:47,000
So as traditional as their values are,

84
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:48,360
they've got their phone right in front of them

85
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:49,720
with their ring light camera.

86
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:53,520
And they're like, but watch me make this bread from scratch.

87
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,400
But I'm like, but if you're really back

88
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,720
in the traditional days, you didn't have a ring light

89
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,520
and an iPhone capturing these moments.

90
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:01,760
So whatever.

91
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,120
And who knows what they're like when the phone turns off?

92
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:07,120
Well, they dress like traditionally.

93
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,120
What is traditional dress mean?

94
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:10,680
It's like old school.

95
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:11,800
Sort of.

96
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:12,760
Yeah.

97
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:14,280
That's a, oh.

98
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:19,280
I like the idea of none of that.

99
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,280
Cause I am not traditional at all.

100
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,880
Andrew makes the mashed potatoes for Thanksgiving.

101
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:25,880
And as he should.

102
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:30,080
I watch from the couch.

103
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:31,880
As he should.

104
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,200
As you should watching the parade.

105
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,960
So in saying all that, I am not that at all,

106
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:42,360
but I like the traditional Thanksgiving goes into Christmas

107
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,160
and all that comes along with that.

108
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:47,200
Yeah.

109
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,320
I'm gonna bypass all of that.

110
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,560
I'm like, so I'm kind of upset right now.

111
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:56,000
But real quick, Harley loves the parade.

112
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,280
My favorite day of the year.

113
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,800
I read that this year is the first year in history

114
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:03,720
that Minnie Mouse will have a balloon.

115
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:04,560
What?

116
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:05,680
Yeah.

117
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:06,520
No way.

118
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:07,360
Yeah.

119
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:08,200
It's like a big deal.

120
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,040
So check her out in a couple of days.

121
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,680
I, one of my favorite things to do is wake up

122
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:14,760
in Christmas pajamas, go downstairs,

123
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:19,320
have 97 cups of coffee and flip between the Philadelphia

124
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,120
Thanksgiving Day Parade and the Macy's Thanksgiving Day

125
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,160
Parade, seeing all the Broadway shows.

126
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:28,080
I never ever wanna be there live in person ever.

127
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,840
I wanna watch from the comfort of my warm house.

128
00:04:30,840 --> 00:04:31,680
That's horrible.

129
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:32,800
With all my coffee.

130
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:34,840
And it is my absolute favorite time.

131
00:04:34,840 --> 00:04:36,960
That's nice because usually we're cooking

132
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:40,400
and everybody's slaving over like ridiculous,

133
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,320
multiple dishes they have to bring.

134
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:43,360
And Carly's like, what?

135
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:44,520
Like it's hard.

136
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:46,560
That's why I am not a trad wife.

137
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:48,080
I would be in my condo.

138
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,760
I would be, if you remember,

139
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,440
it wasn't an open concept like kitchen headed wall.

140
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:54,280
Right, right.

141
00:04:54,280 --> 00:04:55,480
So you couldn't see my living room TV

142
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:57,160
and I'd be like making something

143
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,320
and then I'd run out and try to look at the parade

144
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,120
and then I'd be like, oh no, no, something's burning

145
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,400
and I'd go back and Carly's just sipping on

146
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,080
hot chocolate with her children.

147
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:06,360
That's exactly right.

148
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:10,440
However, we get up super early, go teach class,

149
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,240
work out really hard at boot camp

150
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:13,600
and then come back and watch the parade.

151
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:14,880
So there's that.

152
00:05:16,280 --> 00:05:17,360
Yeah, I do that too.

153
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:18,640
I know I said we, yeah.

154
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,600
And then I make a bunch of crap.

155
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:23,280
Anyway, we digress.

156
00:05:23,280 --> 00:05:25,600
We said we weren't gonna talk about a lot, but we are.

157
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:27,480
So basically when this comes out,

158
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:28,680
it's Monday of Thanksgiving week.

159
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:30,200
We're very excited about it.

160
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,400
I just did all my Thanksgiving shopping today.

161
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:33,400
You did?

162
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,200
Yeah, for the things that I have to make.

163
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:36,800
Andrew will go do that for you.

164
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:38,320
No, that's the thing.

165
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,600
I, we're gonna talk about it today,

166
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,760
but I do all of that and I put it in the kitchen

167
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,520
and I, yeah, the shopping, not the shopping,

168
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:48,320
but I thought you said shopping.

169
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,200
I was like, no, no, no, no, I don't touch knives.

170
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:51,040
I don't do math.

171
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:52,040
I don't touch knives.

172
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:56,400
I do all of the shopping and I put it in the kitchen

173
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:58,520
and I say, have at it.

174
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:00,240
I'll be in watching the parade.

175
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:02,720
Yeah, that's nice.

176
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:03,560
Thanks.

177
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:04,880
I'm happy for you.

178
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:06,800
I'm really delighted.

179
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:10,000
So in the spirit of Thanksgiving,

180
00:06:11,280 --> 00:06:13,120
we are gonna talk about Thanksgiving

181
00:06:14,280 --> 00:06:15,080
in two different ways.

182
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,120
We're gonna start about, if you are hosting Thanksgiving

183
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,520
we're Friendsgiving, because that's also a big feat.

184
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,200
I wanna talk about that later too, but go ahead.

185
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:23,880
She's better, she doesn't have any friends.

186
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:25,760
That's exactly what I wanna talk about.

187
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:26,600
Is it really?

188
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:27,440
It's sort of.

189
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:28,280
Amazing.

190
00:06:28,280 --> 00:06:29,680
So Thanksgiving or Friendsgiving,

191
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:31,720
or basically, you know, you could kind of put this

192
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:36,080
into any holiday or big meal of gathering.

193
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:37,320
Yeah, gatherings, yeah.

194
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:38,160
You can do it for Christmas.

195
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:39,320
Thanksgiving is here.

196
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,320
So that's how we're gonna map it out.

197
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:44,040
And the step by step and week by week

198
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:47,560
is to make it an organizational plan

199
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:51,560
to make it less stressful and smooth,

200
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:53,240
which I think is fascinating.

201
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,160
And then also, we're gonna list off some things

202
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:56,880
that you should just like avoid talking about it,

203
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:57,720
Thanksgiving.

204
00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:58,560
Yes.

205
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:00,840
Do not talk to people about these things,

206
00:07:00,840 --> 00:07:02,880
or you will ruin your holiday.

207
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:05,280
No, do not talk to people.

208
00:07:05,280 --> 00:07:07,120
Or you will ruin your holiday.

209
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:12,120
I would love to for, it's not for Christmases.

210
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:13,760
Oh, yeah.

211
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:15,200
But that's a really stressful time.

212
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:16,960
It's when they were gonna go away.

213
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:17,800
Yes.

214
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:18,640
And then they're playing Godcancel.

215
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:22,080
I would like to do the go away part for one holiday.

216
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:25,360
That would be fine because we'd all come with you.

217
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,920
No, that's the point is that I'm going by myself.

218
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:30,560
You can go the day after Christmas.

219
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:31,400
That's fine.

220
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:32,440
No, I don't live by your rules.

221
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:33,760
Last week you told me I was allowed to move.

222
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:34,880
Let's get into it.

223
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:35,880
I'm Victoria.

224
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:36,720
Hey guys.

225
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:37,560
I'm Victoria.

226
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:38,400
I'm Victoria.

227
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:39,240
I'm Victoria.

228
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:40,080
I'm Victoria.

229
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:40,920
I'm Victoria.

230
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:41,760
I'm Victoria.

231
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:42,600
I'm Victoria.

232
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:43,440
I'm Victoria.

233
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:44,760
Guys, I'm Carly.

234
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:48,160
And if anybody wants to come save me

235
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:49,360
from this cage that I'm in.

236
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,640
You didn't give me a breath to laugh.

237
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:52,480
Sure didn't.

238
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:54,560
Nobody has time for that.

239
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:55,400
Okay.

240
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,200
It's Thanksgiving.

241
00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:02,200
I just picture mom stressing out the day of.

242
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:03,680
100%.

243
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:05,760
In the kitchen, everything gets done.

244
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:09,280
But it's like high stress, high energy,

245
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,960
hurry up, make the table clean.

246
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:12,800
You're on this chore.

247
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:14,840
You're on that, which I think is always gonna happen,

248
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:15,680
especially when you have kids.

249
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:17,680
Like they have to do their stuff and you have to delegate.

250
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:22,120
But I just, I can picture mom,

251
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:27,120
like the cartoon of like soft pans boiling and bubbling over.

252
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:29,600
And the stove might be smoking.

253
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:30,440
Oh my God.

254
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:31,280
Yes.

255
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:32,960
How many times has she burnt the sausage and meatballs?

256
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:34,920
Yes, we have that on Thanksgiving too.

257
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:38,840
So many times.

258
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:40,920
Oh, I forgot to turn the stove off.

259
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,680
Or if she forgot the, like she'll cut the bread

260
00:08:43,680 --> 00:08:46,320
so early in the day to make sure that God's on the list,

261
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:47,600
she'll put it in the refrigerator,

262
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:49,360
the cut like French baguette,

263
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:51,160
and then forget to put it on the table.

264
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,240
Or the black olives at Christmas.

265
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:55,320
Like we like to put scallions and black olives

266
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,280
in their own dishes so you can just pick on them.

267
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:00,000
Well, Billy would pick on them

268
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,960
before everybody would come over and they'd be gone.

269
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:04,040
I would join in on that.

270
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:05,560
So I can't make fun of him for that.

271
00:09:05,560 --> 00:09:06,960
But if she would forget them,

272
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:08,560
remember the year she threw olives at us?

273
00:09:08,560 --> 00:09:09,400
Yes.

274
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:10,680
We sat at the table and she was like,

275
00:09:10,680 --> 00:09:12,240
I forgot the olives.

276
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:14,320
So instead of just putting them on the table

277
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:15,680
when dessert was being served,

278
00:09:15,680 --> 00:09:17,800
she just threw them at all of us.

279
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:21,400
Well, I think she had had a cup or two of Sambuca

280
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:22,360
before she did that.

281
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:24,680
Her drink of choice.

282
00:09:24,680 --> 00:09:26,480
And what you shouldn't do,

283
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:27,880
we're getting ahead of ourselves,

284
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:32,320
is not eat all day, go crazy with no sleep all week,

285
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:33,760
and then drink Sambuca.

286
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:35,920
Don't do that.

287
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,320
Or do do that, do do that,

288
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,320
if you wanna have some fun.

289
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,640
Quote the word fun.

290
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:48,720
All right, so one month before Thanksgiving.

291
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:50,120
So you're already late.

292
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,960
If you're like, cool, this is gonna help me.

293
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:54,160
I'm gonna start now.

294
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:56,320
You're a little late, but you can still catch up.

295
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,040
Okay, so it says one month, finalize your guest list.

296
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,040
Make sure you know who's coming to Thanksgiving.

297
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:03,280
So you can make the right amount of food

298
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:05,560
and set the right amount of plates

299
00:10:05,560 --> 00:10:06,640
and do all the things.

300
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:07,480
Here's my thing.

301
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:10,080
I've never made the right amount of food ever in my life.

302
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:11,600
Well, you're not making it, we hear.

303
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:12,640
Yeah, that's true.

304
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:15,680
And it's so you can play on your menu.

305
00:10:15,680 --> 00:10:17,840
And the way that we do it is we ask other people

306
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:19,640
to bring stuff, like everybody brings a dish.

307
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:20,960
You have to.

308
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:21,800
You have to.

309
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:22,640
Well, when the parties are that big.

310
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,200
When you have a lot of people at your table,

311
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,280
I think we have upwards of 40.

312
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,440
We have 57.

313
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:30,360
This Thanksgiving.

314
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:33,000
57.

315
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,640
All the reason I should go away.

316
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:37,400
You don't need two more people.

317
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:41,120
I could go on a tropical weekend vacation.

318
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:43,120
No, we have nobody to make fun of at dinner.

319
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:47,880
And you, oh please, I am the least of the worries.

320
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:51,520
So, month before, finalize your guest list,

321
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:53,640
plan the menu, right?

322
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,000
The way we do it, delegate who's gonna bring what.

323
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:57,480
We have a lovely spreadsheet.

324
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:00,120
I was gonna say, spreadsheets are your friend.

325
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:04,080
Unless anybody else is technologically declined

326
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:05,560
and can't get into the Google.

327
00:11:05,560 --> 00:11:07,000
Shut up, are you talking about me?

328
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:07,840
No.

329
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:09,880
90% of us was like, someone add me.

330
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:10,720
Cause I can't get in.

331
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:11,560
I did it too.

332
00:11:11,560 --> 00:11:12,680
I was like, I can't figure it out.

333
00:11:12,680 --> 00:11:14,240
Yeah, I texted Julie, our cousin was like,

334
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:16,360
can you add mashed potatoes for me?

335
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:19,080
And then I said, no, you took mashed potatoes

336
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:20,800
and an appetizer and a dessert.

337
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,960
And I said, Joel, can you take Carly off of the dessert?

338
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:25,440
Add me as the dessert.

339
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:27,200
Add me to an appetizer.

340
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:32,480
Anyway, then when you hit your three week mark.

341
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:33,400
Say it again, say it again.

342
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:37,640
I can't, three week mark before Thanksgiving,

343
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:40,280
take inventory of your kitchen

344
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:43,400
and what you need, what you already have.

345
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:45,160
Yeah, that's in the pantry and all the things.

346
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,480
And just one of his biggest pet peeves with me

347
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:49,400
is when I go out for the mashed potatoes

348
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:51,240
and I buy a ton of garlic and he's like,

349
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:54,800
we have a ton of garlic and you just bought more garlic.

350
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:56,240
Like I don't do that before.

351
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,080
So I need to do that, save some money.

352
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:00,760
Oh my God, take inventory, yes.

353
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:05,760
Especially since even spices are like $2 a spice, right?

354
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:06,600
Oh, more than that.

355
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:07,440
It's insane.

356
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:10,040
So you have to take inventory of what you already have

357
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:11,560
because you don't need to buy more.

358
00:12:11,560 --> 00:12:13,240
You're making one dish.

359
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:15,200
Let's pretend everyone's doing it the way that we do

360
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,000
and you bring one or two dishes to the event.

361
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:22,160
You don't need like four extra garlic powders.

362
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,480
I know, or like you need a teaspoon of salt,

363
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:26,360
but then you go out and buy a whole thing of salt

364
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:27,720
but you have salt at home.

365
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:28,560
You have like four.

366
00:12:28,560 --> 00:12:30,440
But in your mind, you're like, oh, but I need salt

367
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:31,680
because you didn't do the thing.

368
00:12:31,680 --> 00:12:34,280
But that also goes into inventory of like your dishes.

369
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:36,760
Make sure you have your casserole dish

370
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:38,120
that you're gonna bring your sweet potatoes in

371
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:39,360
or whatever it is.

372
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:40,800
And if you're making the whole meal

373
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:42,080
because you have a small dinner

374
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,320
or you're like freaking amazing Martha Stewart

375
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,280
and you're making dinner for 40 people,

376
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:47,760
make sure you have all your dishware.

377
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:49,240
Like something might have broken last year.

378
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:50,280
You don't remember.

379
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:51,120
So do the inventory.

380
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:54,520
Mom used to put out all her China a week ahead of time

381
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:58,240
and her tables, like the, what do they call it?

382
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:01,160
Folding tables, cause we always had to add folding tables

383
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:03,200
and chairs and she would put that out a week ahead of time

384
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:07,560
with the tablecloths and lined up her China serving dishes.

385
00:13:07,560 --> 00:13:09,680
Which is awesome cause we had to like shimmy by

386
00:13:09,680 --> 00:13:12,680
as three children running around.

387
00:13:12,680 --> 00:13:14,480
We were like, run, run, run, run, hold on.

388
00:13:15,980 --> 00:13:18,480
In the kitchen, run, run, run, run.

389
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:21,360
Okay, so once you've made your inventory of your pantry

390
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:24,440
and your refrigerator and all of your dishware,

391
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:25,560
order your turkey.

392
00:13:25,560 --> 00:13:26,920
This is the three week before.

393
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:28,640
Order the turkey. Three weeks, really?

394
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:29,640
It says, yeah.

395
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:33,320
You can buy or whatever, redeem your turkey

396
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:35,840
at the grocery store if you do the points that like giant.

397
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:37,720
Yeah, they keep asking me if I want my free turkey.

398
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:39,040
But that started three weeks ago.

399
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:42,200
Like you could have done that two weeks ago, excuse me.

400
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:43,540
They start that process.

401
00:13:43,540 --> 00:13:45,840
But I use mom's number and dad's number

402
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,720
when I put in like my giant bonus card points.

403
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:51,240
So technically it's their free turkeys.

404
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:52,480
You know, mom just gave it to Vicky

405
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:53,400
cause Vicky makes the turkey.

406
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:54,800
So it helped, you helped.

407
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:55,800
Okay, good.

408
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:57,320
And then when it comes to the turkey,

409
00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,440
if you are in charge of making the turkey,

410
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:01,000
you have to, I think this is brilliant.

411
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:02,840
The pro tip, I've never made it, yeah.

412
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,640
Yeah, measure your stove or your oven.

413
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:08,040
Yeah, because what if it's too big?

414
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:10,480
Yeah, that's what happened on New Girl.

415
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:11,320
Then they put it in the laundry.

416
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:12,320
Oh my God, yes.

417
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:13,160
They put it in the dryer

418
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:14,720
cause they were trying to defrost it

419
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:16,760
and they couldn't fit it in the oven.

420
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:18,280
So you have to measure your oven

421
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:20,540
for the amount of turkey that you need

422
00:14:20,540 --> 00:14:23,320
because they are huge.

423
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:26,080
I just decided I'm creating a tradition

424
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:29,440
and I want, I'm gonna create a tread.

425
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:31,240
And, okay, a tradition.

426
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:32,440
No.

427
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:34,640
I think everybody, cause that episode

428
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:35,880
just made me laugh out loud

429
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:37,220
because I remembered how funny it was.

430
00:14:37,220 --> 00:14:40,400
Everyone needs to find all of their favorite shows

431
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:42,040
and watch the Thanksgiving episode

432
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:43,440
like binge watch in a row.

433
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:44,960
Ooh, that's a really good,

434
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:46,440
real extra tip you didn't wait for.

435
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:47,280
Sorry.

436
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:48,120
I was so excited.

437
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:48,940
I was so excited.

438
00:14:48,940 --> 00:14:49,780
Cue for the music.

439
00:14:49,780 --> 00:14:55,000
Cool, real extra tip.

440
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,880
Like friends, New Girl, modern family,

441
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:02,120
just like back to back Thanksgiving day episodes.

442
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,080
How fun would that be?

443
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:06,400
That actually, cause they're all funny.

444
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:07,400
They're hysterical.

445
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:09,080
Friends, he has the turkey on his head

446
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:11,040
or Monica has the turkey on his head and gets stuck.

447
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:12,800
Or like the football game that they play.

448
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:13,640
Yes.

449
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:14,480
Yes.

450
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:15,320
You guys, we're doing it.

451
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:16,160
We're gonna start a tread edition.

452
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:17,920
I bet you somebody already did that.

453
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:18,760
What?

454
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:19,600
On YouTube.

455
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:21,160
We acquired all the best scenes.

456
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:22,240
I just thought of it.

457
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:23,080
Oh yeah.

458
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:23,920
Okay.

459
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:26,720
All right, so one to two weeks before Thanksgiving.

460
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:29,600
So it's kind of like, you know, we're there.

461
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:34,040
Decide how you wanna set your table up and the house,

462
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:37,080
which this one seems like hit or miss

463
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:40,440
because like Carly, you could already be ready for Christmas

464
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,400
or you're not a decorator or whatever.

465
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:45,240
But like how you wanna set your table,

466
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,200
that's important when you're having a bunch of people

467
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:48,360
sit down and sit down.

468
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:50,080
It's super important.

469
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:52,840
Your friend, Victoria's friend, Jeremy came over.

470
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:53,800
What's up Jeremy?

471
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:55,640
He lives in France.

472
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:59,300
And he came over for Thanksgiving one year.

473
00:15:59,300 --> 00:16:02,640
Well, he took one look at my China sets,

474
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:06,000
which were like half China, half Walmart, half,

475
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,440
whatever, I just got married like two years before.

476
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:09,280
He came in and he's like,

477
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:11,880
oh, so this is an unmatched Thanksgiving.

478
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:13,680
We're gonna make this not match.

479
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:18,080
And he went and he made it as nice as he possibly could.

480
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:19,640
Well, I unmatched dishware.

481
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:21,440
You had all the dishes like,

482
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:24,440
see one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10.

483
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:25,280
Oh, I ran out.

484
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:28,400
All right, at a new set that mom brought over,

485
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,840
11, 12, 13, 15, and he just mixed and matched them.

486
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:35,840
So it was like retro vintage, not cliche,

487
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:38,160
no, but like chic.

488
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:39,240
Sheik, yeah.

489
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:41,040
Oh, he went through my dishware and he was like,

490
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,360
oh no, no, no, we're gonna fix this.

491
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:45,920
He also organized mom's spice cabinet

492
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:49,280
because he was like, oh no, no, no.

493
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:50,680
Find yourself a Jeremy, everybody.

494
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:53,560
Yeah, that's not on the list, but that's another pro tip.

495
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:55,360
But it makes it so much better

496
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:56,760
because the table looks so pretty.

497
00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:59,160
There is something about the table looking nice

498
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:02,000
before everybody sits down and you're like, oh wow.

499
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:03,120
Like I actually enjoy that.

500
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:03,960
Yeah.

501
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:07,600
Clean your refrigerator and your freezer out.

502
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:10,320
So the old food that's in the back of Carly's refrigerator

503
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:13,440
that has mold like the fruit, we talk about it a lot

504
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:15,480
because it, she still hasn't done it.

505
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,320
Get rid of that because you're about to have dishes

506
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:21,280
that you're gonna make and then wait to put on the table

507
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:22,800
and you have to put them somewhere.

508
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:24,440
You're about to have leftovers.

509
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:25,440
And guess what?

510
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:27,240
Those frozen bananas that are in the freezer

511
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:28,800
that you've been saving to make banana bread,

512
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:31,120
you're never making the banana bread.

513
00:17:31,120 --> 00:17:32,120
And they go bad.

514
00:17:32,120 --> 00:17:32,960
Throw them out.

515
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:34,480
They don't just like thrive in there.

516
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:36,520
They get frostbitten.

517
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:38,800
Throw those bananas out, melody.

518
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:43,800
God. Buy your wine and liquor

519
00:17:44,360 --> 00:17:45,600
and do it the way Carly does it.

520
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:46,440
Yeah.

521
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:49,800
Oh, you go to Delaware.

522
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:52,440
There it's tax free.

523
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:53,280
Are you allowed to say that?

524
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:54,120
I'm allowed to say that.

525
00:17:54,120 --> 00:17:55,960
And I'm, but I don't think it's secret.

526
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:56,800
Oh, okay.

527
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:58,040
Yeah, I think everyone knows.

528
00:17:58,040 --> 00:17:58,880
Is that Delaware's tax free?

529
00:17:58,880 --> 00:17:59,720
Yeah.

530
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:03,800
So what we used to do, which was like a really fun tradition.

531
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:04,640
I'm gonna hurt you.

532
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:05,920
I know, I just can't not say it now.

533
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:08,080
As we'd go to Total Wine in Delaware,

534
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:10,600
we would stock up for the holiday season,

535
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:12,240
Thanksgiving and Christmas.

536
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:16,000
I mean, one stop shop there, you get all your alcohol.

537
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,320
And then you'd go to the Christmas tree shop,

538
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:19,560
which is no longer.

539
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:20,600
Rest in peace.

540
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:21,600
All right, pay.

541
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:23,560
So now we just go to the liquor store

542
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:25,880
and that's our tradition.

543
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:30,640
But it's half the price as if you last minute shop

544
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:31,880
at the liquor store here.

545
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:34,200
Sorry if anybody owns a liquor store in Delco,

546
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:36,000
but it is half the price.

547
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:39,200
So if you're buying in bulk, make the trip to Delaware.

548
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:41,160
It's totally worth it.

549
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:42,920
I miss Christmas tree shops so much.

550
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:43,880
I know.

551
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:46,520
All of my nutcrackers are holding seashells

552
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:48,920
because I got them in July.

553
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,840
Cause you got them in July, but there's a new store.

554
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:52,680
It's not new.

555
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:53,680
We're just new to it.

556
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:54,720
It's called At Home.

557
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:55,560
We haven't been there yet.

558
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:56,840
It's at the Granite Run Mall

559
00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:57,920
for those of you in the area.

560
00:18:57,920 --> 00:18:59,880
And it is bomb.

561
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:02,760
Oh God, there's so many.

562
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:07,760
There's so many behaviors that I just can't stand.

563
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:11,960
I texted Victoria after I left the store the other day.

564
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:12,920
This is how cool I am.

565
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:16,080
And I said, Victoria, I just went ham at that store.

566
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:17,080
I ignored that.

567
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:19,360
I don't know if you noticed that.

568
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:21,760
Okay.

569
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:26,080
So now we're at the weekend before Thanksgiving.

570
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:28,680
And this is when you want to start cleaning the house.

571
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:29,920
Like the weekend before.

572
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:31,640
So Thanksgiving's on Thursday.

573
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:33,240
Start Saturday, Sunday.

574
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:36,520
So that your Wednesday is not a cluster.

575
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:39,440
Like we used to grow up in as like, you need a dust.

576
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:40,280
You need a vacuum.

577
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:41,360
Here's your list.

578
00:19:41,360 --> 00:19:43,960
And then we just turn on Michael Jackson and ignore mom.

579
00:19:46,120 --> 00:19:47,360
Basically.

580
00:19:47,360 --> 00:19:50,320
So clean the house, do the laundry for the linens

581
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:52,880
and like the table that you have forgotten

582
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,360
because you only use them once a year, whatever it is,

583
00:19:55,360 --> 00:19:56,960
do all of that stuff.

584
00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:58,920
And then when you're done the cleaning,

585
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:01,040
so let's say you're perfect at this

586
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:03,520
and you got it done Saturday, Sunday,

587
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:04,680
and you've made it to Monday

588
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:05,840
and there's some little things left,

589
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:07,440
but like the cleaning part is over,

590
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:09,320
then make your list for the day of.

591
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:11,760
Like organize, I'm getting up at this time

592
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:13,920
and I'm going to start on this dish.

593
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,080
Or I have to start the oven to put the turkey in.

594
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:16,920
I know.

595
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:17,760
Whatever it is.

596
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:18,600
It's a process.

597
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:20,680
You could also do it, Arian Vicky does,

598
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:24,560
and our turkey arrives in four different crockpops.

599
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:25,400
Yes.

600
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:26,240
Like it's already cut.

601
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:28,200
She has crockpot cooked it.

602
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:29,840
And it's kind of amazing.

603
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:30,680
Yeah.

604
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:31,720
I don't eat turkey anymore,

605
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:34,880
but it's very like juicy because it's a crockpot.

606
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:35,720
Yeah.

607
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:37,320
Thank you.

608
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:41,760
Now we're at the Monday before, just like we said.

609
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,720
Now you've made your list and whatever,

610
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:46,360
but defrost the turkey.

611
00:20:46,360 --> 00:20:47,560
Oh my God.

612
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:49,000
It's happened to us before.

613
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:50,360
Defrost it.

614
00:20:50,360 --> 00:20:53,880
Start that process because if you got it three weeks before,

615
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:55,680
you ordered it three weeks before,

616
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:57,520
you got it two weeks after that.

617
00:20:57,520 --> 00:20:59,960
You better have kept it frozen or else gross.

618
00:20:59,960 --> 00:21:02,240
So you have to start the defrost process.

619
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:06,880
This, we're reading from a list of somebody

620
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,560
who's already curated this checklist,

621
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:11,560
and this one says print your menus.

622
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:12,400
Aw.

623
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:13,960
This is a fancy Thanksgiving.

624
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:15,080
We don't print menus.

625
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:17,400
You get what you get and you don't get upset.

626
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:22,800
But label your dishes on this Monday before

627
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,200
and label maybe where you want people to sit

628
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:26,840
if this is to sit down.

629
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:27,680
Right.

630
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:31,360
Our 57 people, I guarantee you, we don't do a sit down.

631
00:21:31,360 --> 00:21:33,560
We do a buffet style,

632
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:36,560
but the labeling can also be used for the food.

633
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:37,400
Like, yeah.

634
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:38,240
Yeah, yeah.

635
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:39,400
You have your dishes.

636
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:41,480
Oh, I thought you meant like name plates.

637
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:42,320
Like where?

638
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:44,520
This is a plate.

639
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:46,240
This is a four.

640
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:49,720
But also if there's people like Victoria

641
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:52,120
who are dairy free, who don't eat meat,

642
00:21:52,120 --> 00:21:55,800
always label your dishes because we do have family,

643
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:57,280
not in our immediate family that are vegan.

644
00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:58,880
So they need to know what's in it.

645
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:01,320
You don't want them to be like,

646
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:03,080
is this, is this, is this, what's in here?

647
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:03,920
Just label it.

648
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:05,920
But also if you're dairy free or vegan,

649
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:06,880
like know your shit.

650
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:09,840
Just know you can't eat turkey.

651
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:10,680
Okay.

652
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:12,840
And like mac and cheese is probably a no.

653
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:13,680
You know what I mean.

654
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:16,160
But if you're gluten free, if you have CLAX,

655
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:18,960
like label your stuff, it just benefits everybody.

656
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:20,240
And then you don't have to like walk around

657
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:22,000
and asking people like, hey, what's in this?

658
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:23,440
Can I eat this?

659
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:24,400
I would never do that.

660
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:27,520
I wasn't a big turkey eater anyway.

661
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:29,040
I never filled my plate with that.

662
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:30,680
I went for the hard stuff, you know?

663
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:31,520
Yeah.

664
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:32,360
Turkey was not my go-to.

665
00:22:32,360 --> 00:22:34,360
I like the, even when I ate it.

666
00:22:34,360 --> 00:22:35,200
I like the turkey.

667
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:36,840
Okay.

668
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:38,280
The Tuesday before Thanksgiving.

669
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:40,640
So we're hit Monday, we're now at Tuesday.

670
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:42,160
Now is when you start shopping.

671
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:44,040
Shop for the perishable stuff.

672
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:45,720
The chicken stocks.

673
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:48,160
The, what else is perishable?

674
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:49,000
The crackers.

675
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:49,840
Yeah.

676
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:50,920
For appetizers, the whatever.

677
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:51,760
Yeah.

678
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:53,680
Whatever you're buying that is not fresh

679
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:55,320
that can keep.

680
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:57,640
I would probably buy my fresh stuff on Tuesday as well,

681
00:22:57,640 --> 00:22:59,760
but you know, whatever.

682
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:05,080
If you are a floral decorator, this is when you should buy,

683
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:05,920
what?

684
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:06,760
I'm just kidding.

685
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:07,600
I just, I'm not a flowers person.

686
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:08,420
You're annoying.

687
00:23:08,420 --> 00:23:09,400
This is when you should buy your flowers.

688
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:11,040
They will keep by Thursday.

689
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:12,520
They will still look fresh.

690
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:13,880
And then you don't have to do that trip

691
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:15,120
like the day before Thanksgiving.

692
00:23:15,120 --> 00:23:16,960
Fresh to death.

693
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:18,120
All right, we've made it to Wednesday.

694
00:23:18,120 --> 00:23:19,760
We've made it to the day before.

695
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:21,080
Yes.

696
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:22,040
Start your prepping.

697
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:23,640
Do your chopping.

698
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:25,320
Do your organization.

699
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:29,280
Carly is tuning out because you said, you said do stuff.

700
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:30,240
So yeah.

701
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:31,080
Oh my God.

702
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:33,280
Sorry, you're chopping.

703
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:34,120
Okay.

704
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:37,280
Set the table.

705
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:38,120
Do all that.

706
00:23:38,120 --> 00:23:38,960
I like that.

707
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:39,800
Because we've cleaned already.

708
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:40,620
Yeah.

709
00:23:40,620 --> 00:23:43,080
So we're ready to set the table.

710
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,200
Here's the important, this is what Carly would do.

711
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:47,920
Refrigerate wine or champagne.

712
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:51,840
I just put it outside in buckets at this point.

713
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:52,840
Set, yeah, right?

714
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:55,560
Carly's like, oh, the refrigerator is Mother Earth.

715
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:57,240
My bar is outside.

716
00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:00,440
So that's where everything goes.

717
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:02,320
All right, and now we're at Thursday.

718
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:05,240
Start your engines.

719
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:06,320
Do the cooking.

720
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:11,240
And if you are anything like our mom or me,

721
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:13,840
or you are our mom, you've seen those reels

722
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:18,840
that are like, nobody gets SHIT done better or faster

723
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:22,280
than a mom who's about to have people over for dinner.

724
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:23,760
That's true.

725
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:24,600
That's so true.

726
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:26,600
I also just realized that I said perishable items

727
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:28,560
and then started listing non-perishable items.

728
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:30,440
I wasn't going to-

729
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:31,280
Why?

730
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:32,960
What a horrible person you are.

731
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:34,720
Carly is like, you have stuff in your teeth,

732
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:35,720
but I'm not gonna tell you about it.

733
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:36,560
No, you said perishable.

734
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:37,400
Oh my God.

735
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:38,480
And then you said crackers,

736
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:40,440
and then in my mind I was thinking,

737
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:42,360
oh, crackers are perishable?

738
00:24:42,360 --> 00:24:44,360
And then I was thinking, cheese.

739
00:24:44,360 --> 00:24:46,440
But then I was like, we bypassed that.

740
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:49,240
So then the fact that anyone's listening to us

741
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:50,600
is beyond me.

742
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:54,320
I just had like a five minute delay.

743
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:56,840
So buy all your items on that day.

744
00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:59,080
Anyway, you've made it to Thanksgiving.

745
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:00,440
You just have to do the cooking.

746
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:04,240
You're prepared, your stress is definitely less.

747
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:05,320
You might still have it

748
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:07,120
because you have to do the cooking,

749
00:25:07,120 --> 00:25:10,040
but it's not as bad as if you waited until like the day

750
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:13,680
or the day before Wednesday to get ready for Thursday.

751
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:15,240
So there is a checklist.

752
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:17,920
If you are like what we've talked about,

753
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:19,920
you started a month ago, so good for you.

754
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:21,440
If not, there's still time.

755
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:22,280
There is.

756
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:23,120
There's still time.

757
00:25:23,120 --> 00:25:28,120
You're not a hopeless cause yet.

758
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:29,520
We are.

759
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:31,040
We are, but you are not.

760
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:33,680
So even if you just start preparing today,

761
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:36,480
you'll be okay, or you'll be better than you were

762
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:38,200
if you started Thursday morning.

763
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:39,240
Yeah.

764
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:40,080
Yeah.

765
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:41,600
Happy Thanksgiving.

766
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:44,280
All right, now for the fun stuff.

767
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:48,000
Right, we got the checklist off.

768
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:52,200
But now the things you're not supposed to talk about

769
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:56,240
or should just avoid at all costs with your family,

770
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:58,840
extended family, immediate family, friends,

771
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:02,680
whoever is invited to your holiday meal.

772
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:05,400
I love when people are invited to our holiday meal.

773
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:11,920
I get well.

774
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:14,320
All right.

775
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:16,880
So if you gossip basically,

776
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:19,040
if there's family gossip, if someone had a fight,

777
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:21,520
if something has come out that everybody

778
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:22,960
has low key found out about,

779
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:24,640
or maybe you're the only one that found out about it

780
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:26,680
and you wanna talk about it, don't.

781
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:27,520
Don't.

782
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:28,360
Just don't.

783
00:26:28,360 --> 00:26:29,200
Don't.

784
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:30,040
It's not worth it.

785
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:34,120
What you think of the current president,

786
00:26:34,120 --> 00:26:38,440
keep politics out of Thanksgiving, especially this year.

787
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:39,760
If you've never done it before

788
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:41,640
and your family's been okay with talking politics,

789
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:42,560
just avoid it this year.

790
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:43,720
Just don't do it.

791
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,480
There's nothing else to be said about it.

792
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:50,160
Same goes for religion.

793
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:53,600
If you're starting something new,

794
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:56,360
if you think someone else is starting a new religion

795
00:26:56,360 --> 00:27:00,040
or an atheist or whatever,

796
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:04,360
I just think it's not the time, right?

797
00:27:04,360 --> 00:27:06,520
Because what comes from that is like debating

798
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:08,480
and like someone wanting you to see their opinion

799
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:10,120
or their belief.

800
00:27:10,120 --> 00:27:12,680
And then it's a debate on belief systems.

801
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:14,840
But now you've turned this like nice meal

802
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:17,960
of just catching up with people and watching football

803
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:21,160
or watching the parade and talking about random fun thing.

804
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:23,280
Now it's become this like,

805
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:26,600
I have to land on my stance and I,

806
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:27,920
you need to hear me and all that stuff.

807
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:29,360
I need to say my piece,

808
00:27:29,360 --> 00:27:32,040
which is that goes along with the next one,

809
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:34,920
which is like talking about politics and gun control

810
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:37,200
and your thoughts on this and what are your thoughts?

811
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:39,120
Well, it's all nice in theory

812
00:27:39,120 --> 00:27:41,200
to get people's different opinions.

813
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:44,360
It never ends well with alcohol,

814
00:27:44,360 --> 00:27:47,080
a full belly and different opinions.

815
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:49,560
Just stay away from it.

816
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:50,880
And even if you're like,

817
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:53,840
well, I think people should discuss stuff like gun control

818
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:57,240
and different things like that, not the time.

819
00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:00,480
It's, hey, if your family are like debaters

820
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:03,640
and that's what you enjoy, we're not talking to you.

821
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:06,240
Yeah, but if you know that there's a divide

822
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:10,960
or could be some sort of difference in opinion and belief,

823
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:13,080
which is completely allowed,

824
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:16,000
why bring up the opportunity

825
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,440
to not know how to agree to disagree?

826
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:19,280
Right.

827
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:20,760
And I think on a lot of these things,

828
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:23,560
it's very hard to agree to disagree.

829
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:25,880
I think the other person just wants,

830
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:28,640
like what you said, to get their opinion said

831
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:30,480
and not really listen.

832
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:32,720
I don't think Thanksgiving or Christmas

833
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:34,240
is a time when people are listening.

834
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:36,400
I think it's more of like, stakes are high.

835
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:38,520
Yes, that's a better way to say it.

836
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:39,840
Ooh.

837
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:41,840
This one's good, I'm glad it landed on me.

838
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:42,680
Hmm.

839
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:47,320
Don't talk about all your children's amazing accomplishments.

840
00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:49,320
I mean, how the years been going

841
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:51,440
and how great your freaking kids are.

842
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:52,640
I'm kidding, I love all of you.

843
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:53,640
I love all your children.

844
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:57,400
I think they're fascinating, but I don't know.

845
00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:01,640
Yeah, look, I'm an advocate for that as well.

846
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:02,560
I get it.

847
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:04,240
And a lot of people's families,

848
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:07,040
they don't see each other often, ours does.

849
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:09,000
So technically or...

850
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:09,840
We have nothing to talk about.

851
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:10,680
We have nothing to talk about.

852
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:13,040
Like you saw my kid yesterday,

853
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:14,160
they were amazing yesterday,

854
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:15,280
they're just as amazing today.

855
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:16,120
You don't need to talk about it.

856
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:17,040
Yeah.

857
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:18,680
But they're, you know, it's...

858
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:20,560
We talked about it once and someone came up to me,

859
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:21,640
Maggie, what's up Maggie?

860
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:23,760
And she was like, Victoria,

861
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:25,440
I will go out with you happily

862
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:26,680
because you said you don't go out

863
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:27,800
and you don't have anybody to go out with.

864
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:28,640
So I will go out with you.

865
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:30,120
Also, I won't talk about my kids.

866
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:33,240
And I was like, well, like, Maggie, you listen.

867
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:34,080
You're amazing.

868
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:35,720
I don't, I go out with Victoria and I'm like,

869
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:37,560
oh my God, guess what Dean said today?

870
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:38,560
Yeah, but it's so funny.

871
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:42,600
Oh, ooh.

872
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:46,360
I am a big advocate for this one.

873
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:47,920
Don't talk about weight.

874
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:49,200
Don't talk about weight.

875
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:52,800
We specifically don't like it

876
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:54,520
because it reminds us of work.

877
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:55,960
We don't like talk about work,

878
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:57,680
just like at parties when people come up

879
00:29:57,680 --> 00:29:58,800
and they're like, what's on your plate?

880
00:29:58,800 --> 00:29:59,800
What are you eating?

881
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:02,400
It's like one of the biggest things you don't wanna say

882
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:04,320
just cause we're like, oh, we're eating today.

883
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:05,920
Like we're eating like a normal person.

884
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:06,760
It's Thanksgiving.

885
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:07,600
Get over yourself.

886
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:08,720
Just don't talk about weight.

887
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:10,840
Like, oh, I ate so much, I'm gonna pay for that tomorrow.

888
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:11,920
No, just enjoy it.

889
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:13,080
It's a holiday.

890
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:14,280
Enjoy what you're eating.

891
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:15,520
Don't talk about your weight,

892
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:16,880
how much you wanna lose,

893
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:18,760
how much you've gained this year.

894
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:20,840
It avoided at all costs.

895
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:22,360
Yeah, agreed.

896
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:25,640
And then personal things.

897
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:29,360
Which sounds really broad

898
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:31,400
and I'm gonna attach two of them together.

899
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:34,120
But like, if you have a cousin or a sibling

900
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:37,560
or an uncle that's not married or paired up

901
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:40,760
or within a relationship for any reason,

902
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:42,960
you don't need to know or maybe you do know,

903
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:44,800
don't talk about it.

904
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:46,800
Yeah, don't talk about it.

905
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:48,640
And this is kind of for an older generation

906
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:50,240
that's like, why aren't you married?

907
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:51,600
I'm, meh, meh, meh, meh, meh, meh, meh, meh.

908
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:56,320
Don't, the personal stuff with that is not the way to go.

909
00:30:56,320 --> 00:31:01,320
And that is attached to also if someone is childless.

910
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:04,760
Yes, and there are many, many reasons why

911
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:08,160
the accomplishments of your children

912
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:10,600
do not match somebody else's story.

913
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:13,320
So if there's a reason that this person doesn't have kids

914
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:16,600
in their life and they want it or maybe they don't,

915
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:19,400
whatever, don't bring it up and ask the questions.

916
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:22,080
Like, those deep personal questions

917
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,400
is probably not the time in between

918
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:26,640
when you're like, hey, pass the sweet potatoes.

919
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:30,640
Right, and I think what might not be so personal to you

920
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:32,680
could be very personal to somebody else,

921
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:33,880
but you don't know that.

922
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:35,760
So just don't go there.

923
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:38,840
So basically you can talk about the weather at Thanksgiving

924
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:40,560
and you'll be fine.

925
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:41,880
Just talk about the weather.

926
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:45,000
Better be a nice day.

927
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:46,720
Or musicals if you're in our family

928
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:48,560
because that's what we tend to do.

929
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:50,520
What's the latest Broadway show you've seen?

930
00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:53,200
Oh, we'll be all singing Wicked on Thanksgiving.

931
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:54,040
It's pretty sure.

932
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:56,880
Parenting advice,

933
00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:58,760
because there's lots of kids running around at Thanksgiving.

934
00:31:58,760 --> 00:31:59,600
Oh, yeah.

935
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:03,120
Your family member might parent differently than you

936
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:05,840
or if you are one of those childless people

937
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:06,720
and don't have kids,

938
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:09,360
but you think somebody should be parenting a certain way

939
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:11,200
because you wouldn't do it that way.

940
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:15,680
Nobody is gonna learn lessons about being a parent

941
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:17,680
on Thanksgiving at a holiday event.

942
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:20,280
And if you're annoyed by a child's behavior

943
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:23,960
or a parent's reaction to that,

944
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:24,800
keep it to yourself.

945
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:25,640
Just keep it to yourself.

946
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:27,720
What's that old school?

947
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:28,560
It's from old school.

948
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:30,360
Step off.

949
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:31,320
Nope.

950
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:32,160
Not old school.

951
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:33,000
School of Rock.

952
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:33,840
School of Rock.

953
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:34,680
You don't know anything.

954
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:35,600
Which is really, I think a white snake song.

955
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:37,080
You're stupid.

956
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:39,280
That's from friends.

957
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:40,560
Mom, that's from friends.

958
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:42,040
Step off.

959
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:42,960
Just step off.

960
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:44,160
And the last one,

961
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:47,960
do not talk to the people next to you and or say out loud

962
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:51,040
how much somebody else in your family is eating.

963
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:51,880
Ugh.

964
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:54,360
Like they're going for how many helpings of whatever.

965
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:55,480
They're going for seconds.

966
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:58,520
They're eating more of this dish.

967
00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:00,440
Then another dish.

968
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:03,400
Even if you're noticing it, don't say it.

969
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:04,240
Yeah.

970
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:07,440
And I'm saying this one because it's happened and it happens.

971
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:08,280
Oh my gosh.

972
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:09,120
Yeah.

973
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:11,320
And it's ridiculous.

974
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:14,280
Let people do them.

975
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:15,120
Let them.

976
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:15,960
Let them.

977
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:16,960
It's Thanksgiving.

978
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:17,800
It's Christmas.

979
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:18,640
Let people do them.

980
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:19,960
I was thinking of let them,

981
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:21,880
but I was thinking of saying it a different way.

982
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:25,280
Not the Melly R way, like the Carly D way.

983
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:26,120
I was thinking like.

984
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:27,600
Let people do the things.

985
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:28,840
This is a fork.

986
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,080
That's the Carly D way.

987
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:35,320
Even though Carly D wrote her name on something

988
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:37,480
and it she wrote Carly M.

989
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:39,640
Because technically I haven't changed my last name yet.

990
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:40,480
Shh.

991
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:41,440
Don't tell Leandra.

992
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:42,680
I just thought you forgot.

993
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:43,520
No.

994
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:44,440
No, I did forget.

995
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:45,280
I did.

996
00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:46,120
That day you forgot.

997
00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:47,600
I forgot my last name was Diamond.

998
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:50,400
But also it says Diamond on my license,

999
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:52,680
but not on my social security.

1000
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:55,040
Because I've never sent that paperwork in.

1001
00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:57,080
So I will do it.

1002
00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:59,160
We're coming up on year 14 here.

1003
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:00,000
I will do this.

1004
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:00,840
It's too late.

1005
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:01,680
They don't want it.

1006
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:02,920
They don't want your paperwork.

1007
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:05,160
They are behind in paperwork.

1008
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:06,800
You were just gonna add to the mix.

1009
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:07,640
Yeah.

1010
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:08,480
Oh my God.

1011
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:09,560
I forgot.

1012
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:10,560
That's hilarious.

1013
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:14,440
Where I didn't send in my official birth certificate.

1014
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:15,280
I sent in a copy.

1015
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:16,120
Cause I was like,

1016
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:17,880
I'm not sending my real birth certificate in.

1017
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:19,120
And so they sent it back and was like,

1018
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:21,200
this is not authorized birth certificate.

1019
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:22,120
And I never sent it back.

1020
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:22,960
Yeah.

1021
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:24,400
Because anyone can send in a copy.

1022
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:25,240
Yeah.

1023
00:34:25,240 --> 00:34:26,080
I did.

1024
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:27,400
So I didn't change my name.

1025
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:28,560
Like a hacker could send in

1026
00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:30,680
and be like, I'm gonna steal this identity.

1027
00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:32,800
Okay. Well, I didn't send in it.

1028
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:36,040
So I'm still technically a mayo unless you pull me over.

1029
00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:37,640
And then I'm a dykeman on my license,

1030
00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:41,440
but not in my social security.

1031
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:45,240
My head is reeling.

1032
00:34:45,240 --> 00:34:47,200
I have so many thoughts I wanna say.

1033
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:48,560
My face is flushing.

1034
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:50,360
What is this feeling?

1035
00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:53,600
Burbin as a flame.

1036
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:57,000
Does it have a name?

1037
00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:57,840
Yeah.

1038
00:35:00,720 --> 00:35:03,080
Wait, somebody did do the yes again.

1039
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:04,240
Ready? Go.

1040
00:35:04,240 --> 00:35:05,080
Yeah.

1041
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:09,000
What?

1042
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:10,480
I was trying to do harmony,

1043
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:12,600
but I sort of went up with you.

1044
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:15,360
And I was trying to stay low.

1045
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:17,600
I'm used to doing the top part.

1046
00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:18,800
Yeah. Why didn't you do the top part?

1047
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:20,320
Because you went up.

1048
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:21,440
Because we both go up.

1049
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:22,760
You just go up higher.

1050
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:23,600
Oh, okay. Let's do it again.

1051
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:24,440
No.

1052
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:26,760
No.

1053
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:29,800
Well, that is a little input to our Thanksgiving

1054
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:31,680
and how it's gonna go.

1055
00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:35,400
Every Alphaba and Glinda that has ever played them

1056
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:38,120
are rolling around in their couches right now.

1057
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:39,840
Yes, because they're all still alive.

1058
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:41,400
Yeah, definitely.

1059
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:42,560
All right. In any case.

1060
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:49,080
Happy Thanksgiving, everybody.

1061
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:51,200
Happy Thanksgiving.

1062
00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:53,520
Enjoy the holiday if you're hosting.

1063
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:56,120
Enjoy if you're a guest and bringing some dishes.

1064
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:57,240
Just make it easy for yourself.

1065
00:35:57,240 --> 00:35:58,560
Keep yourself organized.

1066
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:01,240
And then you'll be set.

1067
00:36:01,240 --> 00:36:02,640
That's my real tip.

1068
00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:03,880
My real extra tip.

1069
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:05,800
I know it was like the Friends

1070
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:07,880
and all the funny episodes for Thanksgiving.

1071
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:12,520
My real extra tip is called BYO.

1072
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:15,040
What does BYO mean?

1073
00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:19,200
It means bring your own plastic Tupperware

1074
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:21,600
to bring stuff home for yourself.

1075
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:24,360
So what has been happening in our family

1076
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:27,080
is we like to put turkey, cranberry sauce,

1077
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:29,480
and mashed potatoes all in one plastic bag

1078
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:31,120
and give it to the family.

1079
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:31,960
Why not?

1080
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:33,800
Yeah, but if you could separate that

1081
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:35,360
and bring your own Tupperware,

1082
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:37,920
you can bring your own food home

1083
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:40,560
separated in a plastic Tupperware.

1084
00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:43,600
Victoria has taught me that I now provide that

1085
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:45,240
anytime people come over my house,

1086
00:36:45,240 --> 00:36:47,560
I will provide with plastic Tupperware

1087
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:49,280
that you never have to give back to me.

1088
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:50,400
Yeah, it's usually mine

1089
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:52,440
that you just won't give back when I bring over.

1090
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:54,720
I'm like, hey, Karli, do you have all my Pyrex?

1091
00:36:54,720 --> 00:36:56,120
She's like, yeah, they're my cabinet.

1092
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:56,960
Oh, okay.

1093
00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:58,280
A lot of the time I give them away to people.

1094
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:00,080
I'm like, oh, no, no, yeah, you're good, keep it.

1095
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:01,160
Cause it's mine.

1096
00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:03,560
But bring your own Tupperware.

1097
00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:05,480
It makes it so much easier at the end of the night.

1098
00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:07,520
You can go through each of the trays,

1099
00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:10,400
put as much as you want in your own Tupperware,

1100
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:11,760
take it home so you don't come home

1101
00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:15,200
with a mushy plastic bag of food.

1102
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:16,440
I'm happy either way.

1103
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:18,760
But I like it, I like it.

1104
00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:21,040
So we hope you have a wonderful holiday.

1105
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:26,040
We hope it is joyful on that tropical beach by yourself

1106
00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:30,000
and away from the stress and the conversations

1107
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:32,000
that you shouldn't be having at the table.

1108
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:34,880
And, you know, we hope that you remember

1109
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:36,320
you're always fit to be real

1110
00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:39,720
and always allowed to be a little extra.

1111
00:37:39,720 --> 00:37:41,560
Happy 6th Day of In.

1112
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:46,560
And don't let her fool you.

1113
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:53,280
She would die without me on a holiday.

1114
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:56,480
Die of happiness.

1115
00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:58,440
Happiness, happiness.

1116
00:37:58,440 --> 00:37:59,960
Die.

1117
00:37:59,960 --> 00:38:01,440

Okay, bye.
