WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.020 All right. Hey, and we are broadcasting in somebody's beatboxing. That was weird. I guess 00:00:04.020 --> 00:00:09.180 Ray's really excited because, hey, normally we do the beta show here with the Church Digital 00:00:09.180 --> 00:00:14.640 and Stadia Church Planting. It's Thanksgiving. It's the end of 2020 and dang it, I needed a break. 00:00:14.640 --> 00:00:20.280 So we are not doing the beta show. If you have questions that you are so desperate to text in, 00:00:20.780 --> 00:00:26.800 text your questions to 484-324-8724. We'll do them for a future show. Just last night, 00:00:26.860 --> 00:00:33.040 I got a question that it was like, oh my gosh, I totally want to address this next week because 00:00:33.040 --> 00:00:38.500 we're not doing it tomorrow because today, dang it, I want to goof off because that's just what I 00:00:38.500 --> 00:00:43.720 want to do. I want to apologize. I want to apologize in advance to that person because we will forget 00:00:43.720 --> 00:00:50.860 by next week. So text Jeff again the question next Tuesday because we will forget. I totally put it 00:00:50.860 --> 00:00:55.400 in Slack. I programmed the reminder. There's no way we're forgetting. It's going to happen. It was a 00:00:55.400 --> 00:01:01.260 good question. I even answered it for the guy. Hey, here's the response via text. You'll want to 00:01:01.260 --> 00:01:07.460 hear it in a future show, but we'll get there. 2020 is cray-cray, right? And so it's crazy. I never 00:01:07.460 --> 00:01:12.560 thought in January I would even use the word cray-cray. I'm not really the cray-cray kind of guy. 00:01:13.080 --> 00:01:20.300 And even the language of cray, it's just so summarizing what this year has been. And so I 00:01:20.300 --> 00:01:24.680 decided, Hey, why not? Right. We got the internet. I'm going to create a show and we're going to call 00:01:24.680 --> 00:01:30.120 it cray. That's all it is. It's going to be cray because we're just going to talk about the crazy 00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:34.700 topics, whatever I want to talk about because dang it, it's the end of the year, 2020 is nuts. 00:01:34.860 --> 00:01:40.720 And we just want to goof off. So for the first episode of cray, it's going to be the ultimate 00:01:40.720 --> 00:01:46.360 Thanksgiving smackdown. I brought in some guys here and I just really wanted to talk about what 00:01:46.360 --> 00:01:51.340 Thanksgiving looks like. And let's talk about, cause it's so many different ways, so many different 00:01:51.340 --> 00:01:56.180 traditions, so many different options. Dang it. Let's figure out in 2020, let's figure out what the 00:01:56.180 --> 00:02:01.720 best of it is. And so this is what we're going to do here with the first episode of cray. We're going 00:02:01.720 --> 00:02:07.720 to figure out what the greatness of Thanksgiving is. And so we've got Ray DeArmas, of course, who is a 00:02:07.720 --> 00:02:13.440 long time co-host here with the church digital, a digital pastor over at Christ Fellowship Miami, 00:02:13.820 --> 00:02:19.440 bringing on some couple of guys. These were digital pastors, our digital pastors with, that were part 00:02:19.440 --> 00:02:27.700 of an online Bible study I did a decade ago or last month, I don't know, 15 years ago, 1984 before the 00:02:27.700 --> 00:02:34.220 internet was really around something like that. So I've, I've got Mark, Mark Brandt from Grace, no, 00:02:34.220 --> 00:02:40.100 Lutheran, Hope Lutheran Church, Church of Hope Lutheran. It's some mixture of that. And so 00:02:40.100 --> 00:02:44.840 Lutheran Church of Hope, hopefully, you know, that's the beauty of live. Normally I would like 00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:48.900 record that four times and take forever. Now we're just going to leave the screw up out there and it's 00:02:48.900 --> 00:02:53.620 going to be great. All right. And so we've got, we've got Andy Mage here from, from the state of 00:02:53.620 --> 00:03:01.540 Florida hanging out in Tampa. And so love what's happening over at Bay Hope Church. And they are doing a, 00:03:01.540 --> 00:03:07.700 I mean, both these guys are doing phenomenal jobs in this season with it. Really excited about what's 00:03:07.700 --> 00:03:12.060 coming out of some of the stories coming out of Mark Church and how they're doing some different 00:03:12.060 --> 00:03:17.260 things with, with VBS in the summer and how it's expanding in. Andy Mage has been doing a phenomenal 00:03:17.260 --> 00:03:24.220 job of really exploring this idea of like a content centered church. That's not just content centered, 00:03:24.220 --> 00:03:30.580 but drives towards, you know, towards the disciple making process. But like I said, I'm not working 00:03:30.580 --> 00:03:35.820 today. I'm taking a break. So that's all we're going to talk about online. We may sneak some stuff 00:03:35.820 --> 00:03:40.920 in later, but it's not about that. So here, let's do this. I really want to dig into, since we're doing 00:03:40.920 --> 00:03:48.420 Cray 01 here, Ultimate Thanksgiving Smackdown. I want to kick it off right here. We've got a series of 00:03:48.420 --> 00:03:53.360 topics, questions, and I just want to open it up to the floor and let them goof off. All right. So 00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:59.860 here we are. Question number one, salad, waste of space, or save it for the rabbits. Once again, 00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:06.100 salad, waste of space, or save it for the rabbits. See, I object. I'm going to Phoenix write this and 00:04:06.100 --> 00:04:13.740 I object immediately. It's on the East Coast. It's 1239. And I just had a salad for lunch. So are we 00:04:13.740 --> 00:04:19.800 talking just Thanksgiving salad? So the judge would like to say at this point that we are just talking 00:04:19.800 --> 00:04:28.740 Thanksgiving day. I am all for a salad, 364 days of the year, maybe. But in context here, Thanksgiving 00:04:28.740 --> 00:04:34.500 day, salad, waste of space, or save it for the rabbits. What are we saying? Waste of space. Waste of space. 00:04:34.740 --> 00:04:40.380 Waste of space. Waste of space. Screw the rabbits. Unless it has a mayonnaise-based dressing of some sort, 00:04:40.380 --> 00:04:46.580 like a seven-layer salad, I can get down with that. But just straight up salad and dressing, not for Thanksgiving. 00:04:47.960 --> 00:04:52.100 If mayonnaise is really in with salad, is it still salad? 00:04:52.600 --> 00:04:57.140 No. It is a plant-based fat treat. 00:04:57.380 --> 00:05:01.140 It is. Absolutely. Like cob salad on the regular, right? 00:05:01.440 --> 00:05:04.980 Exactly. Yeah, cob salad. Cob salad is just a vehicle for bacon and eggs. 00:05:04.980 --> 00:05:11.600 Oh, heaven, yes. Right. Yeah. So salad, at this point, it is a waste of space on the table because 00:05:11.600 --> 00:05:16.540 even – I haven't even seen a chef dare to throw down a salad at a Thanksgiving dinner just because it 00:05:16.540 --> 00:05:20.580 doesn't even fit with the rest of the motif, right? Like there's other veggie dishes that we're going 00:05:20.580 --> 00:05:24.980 to get into in this kind of thing, but the color green isn't necessarily a Thanksgiving thing unless 00:05:24.980 --> 00:05:29.700 it's involving broccoli and cheese, right? So that's not really something that really goes down on a 00:05:29.700 --> 00:05:34.820 Thanksgiving dinner. I've never felt more awkward wearing a green shirt online than I have right 00:05:34.820 --> 00:05:37.080 now, Ray. Thanks for calling me out. You're welcome. 00:05:37.120 --> 00:05:42.580 I didn't realize I was not Thanksgiving-themed when I got dressed this morning. Well, I thought I was 00:05:42.580 --> 00:05:48.080 trying something new, but I guess not. So awesome. All right, good. So we are saying it's a waste of 00:05:48.080 --> 00:05:55.400 space. Moving on, we've talked a lot about this idea of how we're just going to just eat all day. 00:05:55.400 --> 00:06:01.340 It's like a come and go thing. It's not necessarily this. So best Thanksgiving appetizer. Best 00:06:01.340 --> 00:06:07.360 Thanksgiving appetizer. Just opening it up. What are you guys thinking? Who wants to go first? 00:06:08.460 --> 00:06:13.040 I'll go with it. It's the veggie tray. I feel like this is the one time a year you throw the ranch 00:06:13.040 --> 00:06:17.220 dressing right in the center. You got veggies all around it to dip it in. You got olives on there. 00:06:17.260 --> 00:06:24.440 You got pickles on there. You've got carrots. You got broccoli, cauliflower, and in addition to that, 00:06:24.440 --> 00:06:31.220 Chex Mix. All right. The only way I'm going to interrupt here. Sorry, Andy. The only way I would 00:06:31.220 --> 00:06:37.120 accept a veggie tray in this answer is if it involves some sort of bacon-wrapped, deep-fried 00:06:37.120 --> 00:06:45.740 adjective in describing it. So even in preparation for this broadcast, I googled appetizers and found a 00:06:45.740 --> 00:06:53.900 recipe for bacon-wrapped, deep-fried pickles. I have no idea. I am intrigued. I bookmarked it. 00:06:53.900 --> 00:06:59.180 We will revisit at a later time. That would be an acceptable substitution. Yes. Very, very good. 00:06:59.280 --> 00:07:03.200 All right. Somebody else. What's a good Thanksgiving appetizer heading into this thing? 00:07:04.060 --> 00:07:07.240 I mean, I'm going non-traditional and I'm going to be a little nuts here, 00:07:07.420 --> 00:07:11.620 but because we're such a football-oriented household around Thanksgiving time, 00:07:11.920 --> 00:07:13.680 chips and salsa is always on the table for us. 00:07:13.680 --> 00:07:15.840 Yes. That was literally going to be my answer. 00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:19.480 Awesome. Andy and I are, you guys are going to find Andy and I are totally in sync. 00:07:19.580 --> 00:07:20.440 Co-pastatic, man. 00:07:21.120 --> 00:07:25.160 But we normally do, outside of 2020, we normally do a turkey bowl in the morning, 00:07:25.240 --> 00:07:29.400 right? And then we come in. And so it's like the perfect chips and salsa opportunity. It's not 00:07:29.400 --> 00:07:33.640 too filling. It tastes great. And it's something you can just leave on the table throughout the 00:07:33.640 --> 00:07:37.040 entire party and you know it's going to go. So for us, chips and salsa kind of works really well. 00:07:37.580 --> 00:07:41.960 Correct. And then if you want to up your game a little bit, my 14-year-old daughter, 00:07:41.960 --> 00:07:48.160 she always makes hard-boiled deviled eggs every single year. And those right there, 00:07:48.240 --> 00:07:55.460 just one or two of those plus some chips and salsa. And you're ready for the pre-feast nap. And then 00:07:55.460 --> 00:07:59.480 you can wake up and actually feast and then take another nap and then just continue on with your 00:07:59.480 --> 00:07:59.680 day. 00:08:00.180 --> 00:08:02.860 Yeah. But deviled eggs are a main dish though. They're not an appetizer. 00:08:03.500 --> 00:08:03.700 Really? 00:08:03.700 --> 00:08:05.120 They're like a staple. Bring that on. 00:08:06.320 --> 00:08:08.080 I go app on that one. That's interesting. 00:08:08.640 --> 00:08:12.900 Yeah. I would go app. Like, okay, Mark, here's a question. Where do you stand on mozzarella 00:08:12.900 --> 00:08:14.780 sticks? Fried mozzarella. 00:08:15.520 --> 00:08:16.320 Oh, gosh. 00:08:17.200 --> 00:08:18.060 Appetizer or meal? 00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:24.740 Oh, that's an appetizer with, with, with, with, yeah, with the, yeah, with the, I can't even 00:08:24.740 --> 00:08:24.960 think of the. 00:08:24.960 --> 00:08:25.580 Mozzarella sauce. 00:08:25.840 --> 00:08:26.480 The sauce. 00:08:26.620 --> 00:08:27.020 The red sauce. 00:08:27.040 --> 00:08:27.460 The red sauce. 00:08:27.800 --> 00:08:28.160 Marinara. 00:08:28.660 --> 00:08:29.060 Okay. 00:08:29.180 --> 00:08:29.320 Yeah. 00:08:29.320 --> 00:08:34.500 So you're, you basically just think of your heart, your deviled egg as a mozzarella stick 00:08:34.500 --> 00:08:37.600 with mayonnaise. Cause you already talked about the mayonnaise. You already talked about, 00:08:37.680 --> 00:08:44.140 you know, all this thing. It's a, it's a portable, um, protein packed fat bomb for you. That's 00:08:44.140 --> 00:08:47.400 two fat bombs in the, what are we eight minutes into this thing? Yeah, we're rocking it. 00:08:47.480 --> 00:08:47.620 Yep. 00:08:47.920 --> 00:08:51.200 And Andy, since you're mentioning eggs and since we already talked eggs and bacon and the 00:08:51.200 --> 00:08:55.180 cop salad deal, a little candied bacon with those deviled eggs, some pancake syrup and 00:08:55.180 --> 00:08:59.740 some, some black pepper put in the oven for 10 minutes, change your life. Uh, I'm telling 00:08:59.740 --> 00:09:02.560 you, throw that down. It's, it's a great app. It's good. 00:09:03.120 --> 00:09:07.640 Yeah. All right. So just an impromptu question. Don't have a slide for this. 00:09:08.200 --> 00:09:14.800 D, uh, defibrillator required or all of this that we're eating here. I think we just killed 00:09:14.800 --> 00:09:20.680 20% COVID nothing. It's, it's Thanksgiving dinner. It's killing everybody. That's awesome. 00:09:20.900 --> 00:09:25.760 Beautiful. Okay. Hey, I apologize for the COVID joke. That just got awkward. All right, 00:09:25.760 --> 00:09:33.000 moving on Turkey, normal, whatever normal is versus deep fried. I'm gonna, I'm gonna call 00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:37.180 myself out here. I don't know that I've ever had a deep fried Turkey. Oh, you are missing. 00:09:37.560 --> 00:09:42.320 Well, that's just it. I say it and everybody who has, it's like, Oh my gosh, what's wrong 00:09:42.320 --> 00:09:47.000 with you? So you guys tell me, it's a, it's a little bit, the deep fried Turkey is a little 00:09:47.000 --> 00:09:51.920 bit like Valhalla. Um, you know that it's on the other side of pain and misery. Uh, but 00:09:51.920 --> 00:09:56.420 you know that once you get there, it's going to be joyous, just a joyous celebration of all things, 00:09:56.940 --> 00:10:03.920 Turkey and poultry and everything. Uh, the only problem is, is that it's very dangerous and you 00:10:03.920 --> 00:10:08.100 know, you have to, you have to be in a, in an area. So like you couldn't do it up North where there's 00:10:08.100 --> 00:10:12.260 snow. Cause it would just, everything would blow up. Now in Florida where three of us are at, 00:10:12.640 --> 00:10:17.400 all you gotta do is just take it out into the driveway and you can deep fry 14 turkeys if you want. 00:10:18.080 --> 00:10:23.220 Yeah. If you want a rabbit hole to run down for about a half an hour, Google deep fried Turkey 00:10:23.220 --> 00:10:29.840 fails. Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You will see some seriously. Yeah. There's some, yeah, it's bad. 00:10:30.400 --> 00:10:35.060 Yeah. It's akin to, it's akin to the 4th of July fails as well. It's like almost the same, 00:10:35.180 --> 00:10:40.320 the same look. Yep. Nice. Yeah. A friend of mine who's a firefighter has actually told me that they 00:10:40.320 --> 00:10:45.420 get more calls for that than they do for the heart attack stuff on Thanksgiving. They get more calls for 00:10:45.420 --> 00:10:49.560 the, for the deep fried fails because so many people, the canister falls over or they're putting 00:10:49.560 --> 00:10:53.460 it in like on the sacred pole and the thing splashes and then things go everywhere. But yes, 00:10:53.480 --> 00:10:57.560 it is a worthy YouTube rabbit hole to jump down. So go for it. 00:10:57.560 --> 00:11:02.660 Now, now I'm, I'm going to, I'm going to put something out there. Uh, I saw a meme floating 00:11:02.660 --> 00:11:06.380 around. I think it was yesterday or the day before. And it was the, the cardboard testimonies 00:11:06.380 --> 00:11:09.280 guy. I don't know if you've ever seen him, the, what, you know, he's always holding up the cardboard 00:11:09.280 --> 00:11:14.280 thing. And he had one and it said, it said, uh, something to the effect of Thanksgiving 00:11:14.280 --> 00:11:22.200 turkey is overrated. Convince me it's not. And I, I almost agreed with him. I'm a turkey 00:11:22.200 --> 00:11:27.580 fan. Uh, like turkey lunch meat. I'm more of a fan of the turkey after the meal, you know, 00:11:27.580 --> 00:11:31.680 the sliders and the, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. The actual turkey for the meal. I'm 00:11:31.680 --> 00:11:35.860 not the biggest fan of, and Ray, you and I, before the, before the show here, we were kind 00:11:35.860 --> 00:11:40.100 of talking about some alternatives here. So could you walk the fine folk of the internet 00:11:40.100 --> 00:11:43.980 through what's going on with, with your family? And then I'll, I want to interject there. 00:11:44.620 --> 00:11:49.260 Yeah. So, um, somebody in our daughter's class tested positive for COVID. And so we're being, 00:11:49.260 --> 00:11:53.100 you know, very, very cautious and we're doing our own thing as such this year. We're going 00:11:53.100 --> 00:11:56.200 to miss our other family members, but you know, we wanted to make sure and keep everybody safe. 00:11:56.380 --> 00:12:00.240 And so I asked my wife, Hey, it's a non-traditional Thanksgiving. We're, we're four, 00:12:00.340 --> 00:12:05.060 we're two, two adults and two kids. A turkey is a waste of time. And it's also a waste of food. 00:12:05.060 --> 00:12:09.620 So I asked her, cause I've been asking this for years, if I could make ribs for Thanksgiving 00:12:09.620 --> 00:12:15.460 and God bless her. She gave me the green light. And man, let me tell you, I just, before this 00:12:15.460 --> 00:12:18.500 podcast, I was throwing the rub on Jeff had to text me. He's like, Hey bro, you jumping 00:12:18.500 --> 00:12:23.200 in? And I was like, yes, I'm coming in now. But I was like massaging the rub into the ribs. 00:12:23.200 --> 00:12:27.440 I was like, you know, elbow deep and rib and rub and all that stuff. It was amazing. And 00:12:27.440 --> 00:12:30.900 so I'm fired up because tomorrow those suckers are getting cooked and I can't wait. 00:12:31.800 --> 00:12:36.800 So, uh, the, you'll see the caption below Thanksgiving versus ribs giving. I, this last 00:12:36.800 --> 00:12:40.980 Sunday, uh, we have some friends of ours in the neighborhood that are, they've got, I think 00:12:40.980 --> 00:12:45.400 14 of them. No, they're, I think there's nine, seven, seven kids and two adults. So there's 00:12:45.400 --> 00:12:52.040 literally nine people living in the house and then my five that live with us. And so we were 00:12:52.040 --> 00:12:55.280 trying to do a friend's giving cause we weren't going to see him on Thanksgiving cause of COVID 00:12:55.280 --> 00:12:58.040 and all the other things. Cause she's a nurse and we didn't want to track a thing. Anyway, 00:12:58.040 --> 00:13:07.360 I said, what about cooking ribs and just, let's just do a gigantic ribs giving. And my wife said, 00:13:07.360 --> 00:13:11.400 what do you mean by that? And I said, I have that Traeger out there. I have seven pounds of 00:13:11.400 --> 00:13:17.880 country style ribs in the fridge. Uh, our neighbor had seven pounds of baby back ribs and then three 00:13:17.880 --> 00:13:23.780 pounds of beef short ribs. So if you count that, that's 17 pounds of ribs. And we cooked them all up. 00:13:24.040 --> 00:13:27.840 Uh, we cook some pork chops up. We cook some wings up. We cooked all the Thanksgiving sides up. 00:13:28.360 --> 00:13:33.360 And I tell you what, the ribs were the standout performer of that meal. And so I'm, 00:13:33.360 --> 00:13:41.880 I'm putting forth in 2021 hashtag ribs giving. And I want people to join Ray and I on this crusade 00:13:41.880 --> 00:13:46.640 to get rid of the Thanksgiving Turkey and instead put down the Thanksgiving pig. Who's with me? 00:13:47.360 --> 00:13:51.460 I'm with you. I'm with you. I told my wife. Well, you said join us. That means I'm coming 00:13:51.460 --> 00:13:55.840 to Florida then to join you guys. Done. We got, we got space. We got, we've got 17 pounds of ribs. 00:13:55.920 --> 00:14:00.500 So we're good. Come on down. You're going to see it. Florida man changes turkey out for ribs 00:14:00.500 --> 00:14:06.380 on Thanksgiving. It's going to be perfect. Done. I just bought ribsgiving.com. So we will, 00:14:06.460 --> 00:14:10.500 we will market this, promote this, and we're going to make it, make it a thing. I got to tell you, 00:14:10.540 --> 00:14:17.520 I too. I'm not a big Turkey fan day of we'll get to this later. Day after I love me a reheated 00:14:17.520 --> 00:14:26.080 Turkey. It's awesome day of thing. Fortunately, my mom who does the cooking of the Turkey is in a car 00:14:26.080 --> 00:14:30.400 driving and is probably not watching this broadcast right now. So mom, if you do watch this on demand, 00:14:30.460 --> 00:14:35.560 I'm sorry. I love your Turkey. It's awesome. So, all right, let's, let's, let's move on here, 00:14:35.560 --> 00:14:41.440 but there is something there towards this ribs giving thing. Hey, um, gravy with or without 00:14:41.440 --> 00:14:49.840 giblets. No giblets without. Thank God. All right. So let's, let's move on quickly. I, I just started 00:14:49.840 --> 00:14:54.300 world war three at my house with that question because my father is like the giblet king. 00:14:54.440 --> 00:14:59.440 And it's like, it's disgusting. I don't understand why, why would I want to eat that anyway? 00:14:59.780 --> 00:15:03.760 You have to make the gravy though, with the drippings from the Turkey, that's going to give you 00:15:03.760 --> 00:15:08.960 the best gravy, but throwing you and you can use some of the, the burnt stuff that's on the bottom 00:15:08.960 --> 00:15:15.620 of your roaster pan to make that really rich and flavorful. But it's a, come on. I feel you. Okay. 00:15:15.620 --> 00:15:23.380 Moving on. Potato, sweet, baked, or mashed? Mashed. 100%. All of them. Mashed? Respect. I've got, 00:15:23.600 --> 00:15:28.300 I'm a sweet potato guy. I really am. But that's also because Lauren makes it almost like it's a dessert, 00:15:28.500 --> 00:15:32.160 you know, like it's got bananas, sweet potato, and then brown sugar, cinnamon on top. 00:15:32.360 --> 00:15:36.860 So it's borderline dessert. It could hardly be called a side because it's so sweet. So yeah. 00:15:38.040 --> 00:15:42.040 That's awesome. All right. So we're, we're saying all three. That, that makes sense for that. 00:15:42.840 --> 00:15:46.440 Unsung hero on the plate. So I just listed off a bunch of things. What are we missing? 00:15:46.820 --> 00:15:51.860 What's the one thing right now that you're like, this makes Thanksgiving, but it's not listed here. 00:15:52.060 --> 00:15:55.520 We haven't talked about it yet. Green bean casserole. 00:15:56.160 --> 00:15:58.980 Oh, green, green bean casserole. Definitely. That's, that's, that's high. 00:15:59.440 --> 00:16:05.840 That's just where you can't, here's my, I'll tell you my one fail. So green bean casserole is one of 00:16:05.840 --> 00:16:11.420 those things that if you, you have to go simple on it. You have to go the, you know, canned cream of 00:16:11.420 --> 00:16:17.880 mushroom soup, the, you know, canned green beans, the French's, you know, fried onions. Cause that's, 00:16:18.020 --> 00:16:25.240 that's what people want. I one year got crazy. I bought, I bought a $60 mandolin from Pampered 00:16:25.240 --> 00:16:31.360 Chef, you know, to slice my onions. I made my own fried onions. I made my own mushroom sauce to go 00:16:31.360 --> 00:16:36.500 with this thing. And I got fresh green beans and I made that up. I was proud of this dish that I 00:16:36.500 --> 00:16:42.460 brought to our Thanksgiving. And everybody looked at me like, what did you do? You ruined this. I mean, 00:16:42.460 --> 00:16:47.320 this was gourmet green bean casserole. And everybody looked at me like, you idiot. You just ruined the 00:16:47.320 --> 00:16:52.900 best dish on the plate by trying to make this from scratch. Oh boy. This green bean casserole, if you 00:16:52.900 --> 00:16:59.300 want to add it up, cost me $75 to make this thing. You know, when you, I mean, I got nice portobello 00:16:59.300 --> 00:17:04.780 mushrooms. I made, it was a cream based, you know, sauce that went with it. And they just said, you could 00:17:04.780 --> 00:17:12.120 have done this for five bucks. It would have been a lot better. Oh Lord. This is the reason some people crave 00:17:12.120 --> 00:17:17.220 Taco Bell over like those, you know, artisanal cantina tacos and all that other 00:17:17.220 --> 00:17:22.220 stuff. That's very nice. There's, there's probably a ministry implication in there somewhere just 00:17:22.220 --> 00:17:31.140 because you can, does not mean you should. It's funny that this is like the pre Christmas episode, 00:17:31.140 --> 00:17:34.860 right? Because everybody just wants their traditional Christmas music, but then we're like, 00:17:34.860 --> 00:17:39.080 no bro, we're going to throw some U2 in there or something else. And they're like, dude, we just 00:17:39.080 --> 00:17:43.440 wanted to sing joy to the world. Leave me alone. So that's how it goes for me. The unsung hero on the 00:17:43.440 --> 00:17:49.140 plate. And this is just cause I'm a bread guy. Pillsbury Grands every year, I down like a thousand 00:17:49.140 --> 00:17:54.680 of them. It's so simple. It's so easy. And yet every year I just, I gobble them all up. They're 00:17:54.680 --> 00:17:59.380 amazing. I'm going to go, I'm going to have to go with the corn casserole. I don't know why, 00:17:59.380 --> 00:18:06.100 but I, I just, I will grab two or three helpings of that just jiffy. And again, it has to be 00:18:06.100 --> 00:18:12.220 the jiffy like out of the box. Give me a can of creamed corn and a whole stick of butter and 00:18:12.220 --> 00:18:17.020 we're good. Whole stick of butter and anything Thanksgiving is good. There's some sugar in there 00:18:17.020 --> 00:18:23.060 too, right? Yeah. I mean, that's sugar and butter. There's probably love and sugar and butter and 00:18:23.060 --> 00:18:26.760 everything in there. Yeah. I'm good with all of it. All right. So we've got somebody, some of these 00:18:26.760 --> 00:18:31.720 things, I'm sorry, Jeff, but some of these things you would never like, this is like a one time a 00:18:31.720 --> 00:18:35.680 year. Like I can't think of another time of year. I'm like, man, green bean casserole, man, corn casserole. 00:18:36.140 --> 00:18:41.200 It's just, but you have to have these things because it just is what your, your brain and your body 00:18:41.200 --> 00:18:45.980 expect. It's that one day of the year you're like, like that cranberry jello that comes from the can, 00:18:46.060 --> 00:18:49.560 like the cranberry sauce basically because you used it as opposed to. I mean, you pour it out, 00:18:49.620 --> 00:18:54.720 it's still got the ribs from the can, you know, formed into the jello, but no time out of the year 00:18:54.720 --> 00:19:01.300 are you going to eat that except on Thanksgiving. That's right. Totally true. Now does the cream, 00:19:01.300 --> 00:19:07.640 the cranberry sauce, does it have like the, the cranberry bits in it or are we better off not, 00:19:07.760 --> 00:19:13.400 you see, I would prefer no bits. I don't want the bits. I like like clean uniform. It's, it's just, 00:19:13.480 --> 00:19:18.740 it's not ready for that. So Ray, what are you thinking on that? I think you go without it. I mean, 00:19:18.840 --> 00:19:22.160 you know, if you're going to go for the whole motif, just let it come out of the can, 00:19:22.260 --> 00:19:25.240 slide out of the can and let it jiggle on the plate a little bit before it comes apart. 00:19:28.340 --> 00:19:33.600 I got Brian coming in as well. Brian, uh, most of stuffing, gotta have it. Um, 00:19:34.200 --> 00:19:38.880 it depends on the gravy. Yeah. Yeah. It's you guys tell me, what are you thinking? 00:19:40.140 --> 00:19:44.020 I mean, in my house, it's true. They always roll stovetop and then they chop up apples and throw it 00:19:44.020 --> 00:19:46.020 inside. And that's, that's normally what we roll with. 00:19:46.860 --> 00:19:52.920 I started making, uh, my youngest is allergic to like 12 different things. Wheat, soy, peanut, 00:19:53.140 --> 00:19:59.440 dairy, all the things. And so I started making a cornbread stuffing with homemade sage sausage 00:19:59.440 --> 00:20:05.200 and apples and onions. And I'll tell you what, I, I don't care that nobody else eats it. It's my 00:20:05.200 --> 00:20:10.340 wife and I getting down on a pan of that. Yep. The sausage is the one stuffing add on that I will 00:20:10.340 --> 00:20:14.360 allow because I think it just adds to it. But I'm, you know, apples, I'm not opposed to it. That 00:20:14.360 --> 00:20:20.240 sounds like a good ad, you know, it's great. Huh? All right. Moving on. We, we, we got other 00:20:20.240 --> 00:20:27.500 things to talk about here. Dessert, pecan, pumpkin, or other. What are we thinking? Pecan, pumpkin, 00:20:27.880 --> 00:20:36.020 or other. Okay. Let me start off by just making one, a little aside correction. So I, uh, I went to a, 00:20:36.020 --> 00:20:41.760 a cooking class in Nolens one time and this, this, uh, Cajun chef said, here's the deal. 00:20:42.420 --> 00:20:46.300 The pecan is what you take with you on the fishing boat. If you're going to be out all day, 00:20:46.300 --> 00:20:54.560 the pecan is what goes in the pie. I love it. Just throwing that out there. Okay. 00:20:55.660 --> 00:21:02.580 I love it. Uh, so Jeff, you want to talk on? There you go. There you go. You want to talk 00:21:02.580 --> 00:21:10.480 about it? No, it wasn't the typo on the slide. He said, I'm not pronouncing it correctly for you. I'm 00:21:10.480 --> 00:21:18.040 sorry. My, my, my sincere apologies. Pecan. I hate pecans. Uh, pumpkin, or is, is there something 00:21:18.040 --> 00:21:22.680 other? What is the preferred, uh, dessert here as we're walking into Thanksgiving? 00:21:23.420 --> 00:21:27.920 Uh, we roll pumpkin or apple in the Diarmus household. We have, we have some apple pie. 00:21:27.920 --> 00:21:32.480 Yeah. We have some apple pie and some vanilla ice cream ready just to throw a quick scoop on there, 00:21:32.480 --> 00:21:37.400 um, for either or, and obviously some cool whip nearby. Uh, and that's, that's kind of how we roll. 00:21:37.480 --> 00:21:41.540 I mean, I love the smell of roasted pecans. So if you roll pecan pie, you're not going to get a 00:21:41.540 --> 00:21:45.320 complaint here because of that smell. When it fills up my house, it's, it's good. But the way that we 00:21:45.320 --> 00:21:50.180 roll typically is pumpkin or apple. Yeah. And we were the same, right? Again, again, 00:21:50.180 --> 00:21:55.740 we're like in it together. Uh, yeah. Uh, we don't do the vanilla ice cream. We are instead cool whip 00:21:55.740 --> 00:22:01.340 fiends. And so we'll have probably three, three tubs of cool whip for 15 of us. And they'll all be 00:22:01.340 --> 00:22:08.180 gone at a certain point. Nice. Yeah. We make one concession for my brother-in-law. So my brother-in-law 00:22:08.180 --> 00:22:14.860 is a French silk guy. Oh, so even though French silk doesn't scream Thanksgiving, I've got one in my 00:22:14.860 --> 00:22:19.140 fridge right now because even though we're not going to get together inside our house, uh, we bought a 00:22:19.140 --> 00:22:25.400 fire pit because us Iowans are, are resilient in the cold. And so we're going to get outside and we'll 00:22:25.400 --> 00:22:30.400 have a piece of pie outside by the fire pit. Oh, that's pretty awesome. Yeah. By the fire pit. You 00:22:30.400 --> 00:22:34.900 see, these are things we don't get to enjoy in Florida. We want to go somewhere where we're going to have a fire 00:22:34.900 --> 00:22:40.820 pit. We, we, we do, but it's already 90 degrees, you know, and then you have the fire pit juices it up 00:22:40.820 --> 00:22:46.880 to like one 20. Yeah. Get eaten by mosquitoes. It's just a man. We don't have mosquitoes in the 00:22:46.880 --> 00:22:53.440 winter, Jeff. Seriously. No. All right. Well, some feedback from the outside, uh, pecan evidently, 00:22:53.500 --> 00:22:59.440 excuse me, pecan evidently makes somebody want to vomit here and pumpkin for the win. Another dessert 00:22:59.440 --> 00:23:04.440 here, at least I'm assuming it's a dessert, a creamy cheese oven, roasted Brussels sprouts. 00:23:04.900 --> 00:23:08.800 Ooh. Oh, you know what? That's probably not a dessert. That's probably one of the later comments. 00:23:08.980 --> 00:23:13.620 That would be funny though for, for anyway. All right. Moving on. That joke sounded better in my 00:23:13.620 --> 00:23:23.060 head before I actually said it. Hey, so we've got a pretty. Sorry. Yeah. Move on. 00:23:25.620 --> 00:23:31.420 And we're back. Best time. We've been talking a lot about the food. Let's shift gears. Let's talk 00:23:31.420 --> 00:23:37.560 about the overall experience. We're digital pastors. We're used to exploring the overall experience, 00:23:37.700 --> 00:23:42.940 the vibe, the look, the feel in digital context. So let's talk about this. Best time for the meal. 00:23:43.320 --> 00:23:47.220 When are we actually eating this meal? Thursday morning. Thursday. 00:23:47.980 --> 00:23:49.380 Oh, not morning. Definitely not morning. 00:23:49.680 --> 00:23:51.960 Not morning. My fault. My fault. My fault. Thursday. 00:23:51.960 --> 00:24:02.560 I have a, I have a almost scientifically proven method of determining when to have it. So in my 00:24:02.560 --> 00:24:07.960 household, uh, it is no four o'clock is wrong. Whoever that Facebook user was, I apologize. Four 00:24:07.960 --> 00:24:15.680 o'clock is when dessert is one o'clock is when dinner is because football starts at 12 by one o'clock. 00:24:15.860 --> 00:24:20.620 You're halfway through the second quarter. So nobody wants to do anything during halftime. You 00:24:20.620 --> 00:24:24.180 definitely don't want to watch the, the, usually the crappy halftime show at the 12 o'clock game, 00:24:24.180 --> 00:24:29.380 which is the lions typically. Uh, so you have your meal at one, you come back for the rest of the 00:24:29.380 --> 00:24:34.320 football game. You digest, you let everything kind of percolate a little bit. You make the coffee 00:24:34.320 --> 00:24:43.000 by four to four 15. It is dessert time. And then by seven o'clock, then you get back on that 00:24:43.000 --> 00:24:47.640 like second Z's, you know, we're going to make sliders out of the Hawaiian rolls, that type of 00:24:47.640 --> 00:24:55.040 thing that happens. But you have to keep it within the same realm of normal meals. Because if you do 00:24:55.040 --> 00:24:59.280 it at like a two, like somebody else just put two 30, if you do two 30, your whole body's out of 00:24:59.280 --> 00:25:03.620 whack. You're going to wake up in the middle of the night hungry. Uh, you're not going to know when 00:25:03.620 --> 00:25:06.620 to eat breakfast. I mean, your kids are going to be crying, you know, all of these things. 00:25:07.020 --> 00:25:10.980 One o'clock, one o'clock is the scientifically proven way. And I rest my case. 00:25:13.000 --> 00:25:15.820 Do we believe in science anymore? I'm confused. 00:25:17.460 --> 00:25:18.620 Oh, no, I'm kidding. 00:25:19.180 --> 00:25:21.840 I'd say it's when the turkey's done. There you go. 00:25:22.400 --> 00:25:23.960 You know, so one o'clock is good. 00:25:24.580 --> 00:25:29.440 Yeah. I, we roll 1 PM too, but mostly because my wife is from Kansas city and that was traditional 00:25:29.440 --> 00:25:33.860 for her. Now growing up Latin, I mean, Latins are crazy. We do everything at night. And so for us, 00:25:33.860 --> 00:25:38.540 it works out for our family because one o'clock is, you know, we sit down with her family and we have 00:25:38.540 --> 00:25:42.540 Thanksgiving. And then typically by seven o'clock, we're rolling over to my folks house and they're 00:25:42.540 --> 00:25:45.620 starting their deal because you know, for the most part, they're going to stay up all night. 00:25:45.780 --> 00:25:50.160 And so that's how that works. But for us, it works out perfect. I agree with you guys. One o'clock is 00:25:50.160 --> 00:25:54.800 such a great time to do it because you just get loaded up, you get stuffed and you can enjoy the rest 00:25:54.800 --> 00:25:58.900 of the football for the rest of the day. It works out so much better. And especially if you're coming 00:25:58.900 --> 00:26:03.160 in from a turkey bowl, you're coming in all drinks and sweat. You're had a great time. And then you 00:26:03.160 --> 00:26:07.960 just, you take a shower, you come in, you eat a great big meal. It's so refreshing. It's good. 00:26:09.140 --> 00:26:14.260 Let's just point out the fact that you called, uh, Latin's crazy, uh, on a broadcast that's going 00:26:14.260 --> 00:26:19.660 to come back and bite you later. I am. I promise you it's, it's allowed technically. Right. So, 00:26:19.660 --> 00:26:24.900 yeah. So you've been talking a lot about Turkey bowl here, the preferred Thanksgiving exercise, 00:26:25.100 --> 00:26:30.940 Turkey bowl, Turkey trot or Turkey nap. What are we thinking here? We, we, we play in football. 00:26:31.160 --> 00:26:38.700 We going for a run or are we just sleeping the day away? All of them. Yeah. All of them. That's 00:26:38.700 --> 00:26:46.020 right. Yeah. When I was a kid, when I was a kid, we used to do, I mean, it has to involve football 00:26:46.020 --> 00:26:51.000 because you're going to watch football, but we used to go out and we would do this, uh, sideline 00:26:51.000 --> 00:26:55.540 catch exercise. Like we wouldn't actually play a game. We would just find a sidewalk. 00:26:56.020 --> 00:27:00.940 You're just running drills. Yeah. And we would try and catch the ball and, you know, get two feet down 00:27:00.940 --> 00:27:06.340 and it just became this running route thing that we would do. And cause we never had enough cousins 00:27:06.340 --> 00:27:10.660 to play a full on game. So we just would make up, you know, stuff and play, but yeah, it's got to 00:27:10.660 --> 00:27:15.380 involve the football. It's that one year, one time of the year where everybody, you know, becomes an 00:27:15.380 --> 00:27:19.860 athlete, you know, for about 20 minutes worth of just, you know, messing around. 00:27:20.940 --> 00:27:25.720 It's so true. And, and so, and the rest of the day you spend in pain of the reminder of the fact 00:27:25.720 --> 00:27:30.880 that you have not been practicing all year, but you decided to go ahead and run sprints on routes and 00:27:30.880 --> 00:27:35.800 all that stuff. And so you spend the rest of the day just sore and your muscles are just reminding 00:27:35.800 --> 00:27:40.780 yourself, Hey, another year older. It's like that nice bitter push before the end of the year of age, 00:27:40.780 --> 00:27:45.120 just reminding you, Oh, take a look, right? Like you've got back muscles and leg muscles that really 00:27:45.120 --> 00:27:51.400 haven't been used in quite a long time, but Turkey bowl for us is, is a must. Uh, Turkey nap is a 00:27:51.400 --> 00:27:55.820 definite, especially after that one o'clock meal. Oh boy. We have three o'clock. Nobody cares about 00:27:55.820 --> 00:28:01.240 the lions. Fourth quarter is so great for a Turkey nap. And so Detroit fans, you know it too. I mean, 00:28:01.240 --> 00:28:05.260 it's really a game that whether you win or you lose the playoffs don't matter anyway. So it's fine. 00:28:05.720 --> 00:28:10.880 So I, I am a Detroit fan and I will tell you, we still don't care about our Thursday afternoon. 00:28:10.880 --> 00:28:15.640 We still do not. It usually we're losing in the middle of third quarter anyway, so it doesn't 00:28:15.640 --> 00:28:23.080 matter. It's good. Awesome. That's so, so good. Like even the law, even the lions fans, even the 00:28:23.080 --> 00:28:26.960 lions players, let's be honest, they're, they're sleeping that fourth quarter away anyway. So 00:28:26.960 --> 00:28:32.460 no, there is a, there is a run here in Iowa. So we have this place called living history farms. 00:28:33.060 --> 00:28:36.860 It's like a vintage farm thing where you can go and you can actually churn butter and things like 00:28:36.860 --> 00:28:42.860 that, but they have the, they have a Turkey trot each year, but it's, it's not your traditional, 00:28:42.860 --> 00:28:48.120 like run on, you know, a, you know, an outdoor path. It is, it is literally around their grounds 00:28:48.120 --> 00:28:52.080 and there's a hill that's got a rope that, you know, goes down it. You actually have to 00:28:52.080 --> 00:28:57.280 hand rope up this hill. So it's not really trying to win. It's a race you try to endure. Cause I 00:28:57.280 --> 00:29:02.720 think it's like six and a half miles. Wow. Uh, and, and so people will do that, but they set it for 00:29:02.720 --> 00:29:06.820 like eight o'clock in the morning so you can get home in time to eat. And I, I cheer them on. I'm 00:29:06.820 --> 00:29:13.920 like, you go. That's awesome. That's right. From the sideline. Good job. Good job. And let's be 00:29:13.920 --> 00:29:19.620 honest in 2020, probably we've not been the most athletic as, as we normally would have been if this 00:29:19.620 --> 00:29:24.920 was an average year. So those of you who are out there watching, don't kill yourselves, uh, doing 00:29:24.920 --> 00:29:29.600 some of this stuff. Don't, don't pull the muscle. Don't strain the thing. Don't, don't tear the 00:29:29.600 --> 00:29:35.880 thing. Just like, you know, be careful, you know? All right. Moving on here, wrapping up 00:29:35.880 --> 00:29:42.600 here, better Thanksgiving day entertainment, uh, watching a parade, watching football, watching 00:29:42.600 --> 00:29:50.680 1978 star Wars holiday special, uh, insert something else in like, what is the better Thanksgiving 00:29:50.680 --> 00:29:57.760 day entertainment for y'all? I've got the wild card here. Football, football, football is the 00:29:57.760 --> 00:30:02.640 one. Um, but when we were living in Georgia and when we were able to actually do things 00:30:02.640 --> 00:30:08.160 before COVID, we would do. So again, let's, let's, let's go back to the timetable, ladies 00:30:08.160 --> 00:30:12.760 and gentlemen, one o'clock dinner. So for me, it was Turkey trot in the morning, football 00:30:12.760 --> 00:30:18.440 after that with the kids, then the, then actual, like, let's watch the first quarter and then the 00:30:18.440 --> 00:30:25.120 meal at one. And then the nap at like two 33 desert at four, if you wanted seconds, maybe six, 00:30:25.120 --> 00:30:30.860 seven, and then the nine o'clock movie. And usually the nine o'clock movie at the movie theater. 00:30:31.040 --> 00:30:36.600 So they take the kids, you go wear them out, you do whatever. And then everybody sits in the back. 00:30:36.700 --> 00:30:43.600 Sometimes the kids fall asleep. Sometimes you're whatever, but it's the best place to just wind down 00:30:43.600 --> 00:30:49.160 from an afternoon of excitement. That's good. That's real good. Yeah. For us, we've done the 00:30:49.160 --> 00:30:53.580 movie at home thing at night, you know, the theater, the theater is great, but you know, theaters in 00:30:53.580 --> 00:30:57.980 Miami, especially pre COVID would get kind of stocked up with folks. And so it didn't, it really wasn't 00:30:57.980 --> 00:31:02.240 as much of an enjoyable experience, but a nice traditional, even starting up like a Christmas movie 00:31:02.240 --> 00:31:06.200 around that time, whether it's thrown on home alone or something like that, there's always kind of a 00:31:06.200 --> 00:31:11.780 nice way to say goodbye to Thanksgiving and hello to what's next. And so it was always just a fun thing 00:31:11.780 --> 00:31:15.800 to do there at the end, after a day of football, after all this stuff that Andy just said. So it's 00:31:15.800 --> 00:31:20.860 good. Yeah. We're going to expose my 11 year old to, uh, well, I've already started it down the path 00:31:20.860 --> 00:31:27.460 of, of righteousness. Uh, so we, we watched, uh, we watched the, um, Indiana Jones, uh, Raiders of the 00:31:27.460 --> 00:31:33.200 Lost Ark. Now we're going to finish the series by watching Temple of Doom and Last Crusade, 00:31:33.200 --> 00:31:37.580 because anything after that is not part of the series. It's not canon. We don't, we don't acknowledge 00:31:37.580 --> 00:31:41.740 anything that happened after that. So that's going to be, you know, besides football, that's going to 00:31:41.740 --> 00:31:45.580 be our evening, uh, evening session. We're going to, we're going to throw in some, cause we're doing 00:31:45.580 --> 00:31:49.800 this year, uh, you guys are doing ribs giving or whatever you're doing. We're doing, we decided to 00:31:49.800 --> 00:31:54.880 go on New Year's Eve this year for Thanksgiving. We're doing, we're doing all apps, you know? So it's just, 00:31:54.880 --> 00:31:59.360 uh, yeah, bring back hashtag ribs giving. No, we're doing all apps. We're doing the traditional, 00:31:59.360 --> 00:32:08.760 uh, cheesy taco dip and, uh, bacon wrapped little smokies. And, uh, so yeah, it's, it's just going to 00:32:08.760 --> 00:32:13.760 be one of those for us. And we'll just graze all day and then have pie by the fire. That sounds awesome. 00:32:14.140 --> 00:32:19.200 Yeah. We got to find ways to work all of this together. The Thanksgiving with the turkey, with the 00:32:19.200 --> 00:32:24.340 ribs giving, with the apps, with the cheesy, you know, throw it, throw it, throw enough cheese on 00:32:24.340 --> 00:32:29.280 top of Brussels sprouts. The Brussels sprouts are good. You know, you just got to find a way to kind 00:32:29.280 --> 00:32:34.220 of make all that happen, which is really, I'm still kind of stuck on Andy using the word secondies. 00:32:34.440 --> 00:32:40.960 Like I kind of secondies. Yeah. Secondies. I don't, I don't know. This is foreign language to me. I'm 00:32:40.960 --> 00:32:45.440 sorry, but like that, that's the beauty of like the, the leftover, right? When it all just gets kind 00:32:45.440 --> 00:32:51.720 of putting together into like one mush kind of thing and the casseroles are intermixing and the, 00:32:51.720 --> 00:32:58.140 that, that mayonnaise salad dressings, like all in the, oh, it's so good. All right. Hey, 00:32:58.220 --> 00:33:08.520 hey, wrapping, wraps, wrapping up here, uh, Christmas tree before Thanksgiving, on Thanksgiving, 00:33:08.520 --> 00:33:15.420 after Thanksgiving, after Halloween, my wife will tell you. Hmm. So it's been up for a while. 00:33:15.420 --> 00:33:21.400 After Halloween. That's interesting. Yeah. All Saints Day has a different connotation for her, 00:33:21.480 --> 00:33:28.120 huh? Yes. That's good. All right. This year, because we're trying to speed this whole 2020 00:33:28.120 --> 00:33:32.700 thing up, we actually put ours up before Thanksgiving, but typically it's that Friday 00:33:32.700 --> 00:33:39.020 after Thanksgiving. Is it all day house work day, the lights go up outside, the tree goes up. It all 00:33:39.020 --> 00:33:44.140 happens the day after Thanksgiving, typically for us. But this year, because, hey, 2020, we're done with you. 00:33:44.140 --> 00:33:49.140 We want everything to move ahead. It was, it all went up already on Monday. And so Christmas is 00:33:49.140 --> 00:33:56.240 already ready to go for the table. Yeah. I think, I think my tree went up November 5th, 00:33:56.240 --> 00:34:01.760 November 4th. Like it was just, uh, you know, I, I was, I was talking about it before Halloween. I was 00:34:01.760 --> 00:34:06.920 like, oh my gosh, I just, I want to get there. I need some change. I need some happiness in my life. 00:34:06.920 --> 00:34:11.660 Let's put the tree up. Uh, let's, let's at least try that. So yeah, I'm, I'm with Ray. It's, 00:34:11.740 --> 00:34:16.040 it's the day after Thanksgiving for us usually. Uh, and the kids have been asking, Hey, can we do it 00:34:16.040 --> 00:34:21.420 now? Can we do it now? It's like, I, something just doesn't feel right in my soul to do it right 00:34:21.420 --> 00:34:27.500 now. I'm a, I'm what my brother calls a calendarist. Uh, and so it, it, we have to hold true to what the 00:34:27.500 --> 00:34:33.680 calendar says. Right. The calendar is predetermining your destination, election, et cetera. A calendarist. 00:34:34.220 --> 00:34:38.860 Correct. Yeah. And we can, it's theologically rich. My, my November is theologically rich in that, 00:34:38.940 --> 00:34:43.280 in that vein. I love it. That's funny. This is going to bother you, Andy. I'm going to warn you 00:34:43.280 --> 00:34:49.900 in advance. I got a Facebook user that's saying put the tree up after Thanksgiving, duh, but my church 00:34:49.900 --> 00:34:58.240 did extend Advent two weeks. Oh, any, any thoughts or comments on that? Andy, you can't extend Advent. 00:34:58.560 --> 00:35:08.240 Yeah. How did you call God? Like I'm Methodist. We can't do that. 00:35:08.240 --> 00:35:17.020 No. We'll get kicked out. Mark knows. Even as a Baptist, I'm like, you can't do that. Like, 00:35:17.080 --> 00:35:25.480 what are you talking about? Yeah. Oh, they're coming back. There's precedent. I mean, come on. 00:35:25.540 --> 00:35:32.580 There's precedent. In times of a global pandemic, bring people hope by inviting them to a prolonged 00:35:32.580 --> 00:35:38.240 Advent experience. So that's beautiful. Who can forget? Who can forget the Christmas of 1919 00:35:38.240 --> 00:35:43.500 and the Spanish flu and the Advent was extended an extra two months? That one time. 00:35:45.260 --> 00:35:50.040 I would, I would love whoever that is on Facebook. I can't see from here. I'll find the comment, 00:35:50.040 --> 00:35:55.020 but I would love to know details of what that, what that looks like for your, your church, 00:35:55.100 --> 00:35:58.800 a precedent. I don't care about, but it was just the story of how that works there. 00:35:59.040 --> 00:36:02.300 I would like to know so I can pray for you and your eternal soul as well. 00:36:03.680 --> 00:36:05.740 Whoa, that just got dark. 00:36:06.300 --> 00:36:10.760 Hey, no, I'm trying to bring light and happiness into that person's life, whoever that is. Cause 00:36:10.760 --> 00:36:17.220 precedent. Get out of here. Andy told you he's a calendarist. All right. Yeah. That's we've 00:36:17.220 --> 00:36:23.420 established this. I mean, I mean, Andy, we cannot add any more candles to the Advent wreath. There 00:36:23.420 --> 00:36:28.380 are five, five. There's the four on the outside and then the one big one in the middle. That's it. 00:36:28.380 --> 00:36:33.160 What are you going to do? Seven? No way. Then it looks more like a menorah sign. 00:36:33.160 --> 00:36:34.280 Yeah. A menorah. 00:36:37.340 --> 00:36:37.740 Whoa. 00:36:38.740 --> 00:36:39.620 Oh my. 00:36:40.800 --> 00:36:42.320 Sorry for anyone asking it out there. 00:36:43.260 --> 00:36:46.060 Talking about Cray here, evidently. 00:36:47.220 --> 00:36:52.480 All right. I don't want to prolong this on, but I'm going to go ahead and click on it. Boom. 00:36:53.840 --> 00:37:00.020 Facebook user who is not logged in or whatever. I love you. 00:37:00.020 --> 00:37:05.180 I want to hear the story. I want to hear whoever that is. Hit me up on Facebook. Let's talk about 00:37:05.180 --> 00:37:12.040 it. This is beautiful. This is crazy, right? We needed some, some laughter, some fun in this. So 00:37:12.040 --> 00:37:18.780 I got to tell you, I'm, I'm literally, I'm pressing end here and I'm loading up my car. I'm going on 00:37:18.780 --> 00:37:24.960 vacation for, for like four or five days, checking out, doing that. And so I'm really looking forward 00:37:24.960 --> 00:37:25.960 to doing that. 00:37:26.600 --> 00:37:31.000 Can I, can I give you one quick leftover life-changing dish? 00:37:31.420 --> 00:37:31.920 Do it. 00:37:31.960 --> 00:37:36.760 It'll take two seconds or less. So take your leftover Turkey, take some leftover stuffing, 00:37:37.120 --> 00:37:43.540 a little bit of mashed potatoes, put it in a bowl, mix it all up, scoop that into a crescent roll, 00:37:44.860 --> 00:37:51.500 roll, wrap that up, bake that bad boy for about 13, 14 minutes with gravy as a dipping sauce. 00:37:52.280 --> 00:37:55.680 And you're talking a Friday. You're not going to regret. 00:37:56.620 --> 00:37:57.860 Or not going to wake up. 00:37:57.860 --> 00:37:59.320 Or not going to wake up. Yes. 00:38:01.880 --> 00:38:03.560 Fantastic. Thank you for sharing that, Mark. 00:38:03.560 --> 00:38:03.920 That's good. 00:38:04.780 --> 00:38:14.640 There's a, yeah. Wow. So like, Ray, you had a friend who was like a hot, like urgent care, 00:38:15.140 --> 00:38:19.660 you know, the, the ambulance guys, right? Do they get more calls than normal on Thanksgiving 00:38:19.660 --> 00:38:22.720 for people eating like stuff like that? Like the stuff. 00:38:22.720 --> 00:38:25.840 It's the deep fried Turkey. It's the deep fried Turkey. 00:38:25.840 --> 00:38:28.580 The deep fried Turkey. It's not the heart attack. It's deep fried Turkey. 00:38:28.920 --> 00:38:35.480 It is the deep fried Turkey. Yeah. Be warned people. It is delicious, but deadly, but go for it and film it. 00:38:36.380 --> 00:38:40.920 Delicious, but deadly. The, the ultimate Thanksgiving feast. Well, well, well said there. 00:38:41.220 --> 00:38:44.300 All right. Hey, uh, we're, we're going to wrap for this year.
