Speaker 1 (01:36):
Rob Parker, Why is it?
Speaker 4 (01:37):
I can just imagine you after your Hall of Fame induction, right,
You're at this beautiful place. You're going out to Magic
City with some friends. You see a group of girls
and you just say, make room for Dad. I can
see it.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
That might be.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
That might be the verbiage in that moment. That just
might be. Let's update the score seven to three. Baltimore
is winning, Cincinnati has the ball on a Is that
a third down play? But Cincinnati is?
Speaker 1 (02:05):
It is third and six?
Speaker 5 (02:06):
Play by play, but I didn't give it twenty seconds left,
Cincinnati fall start.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Yes, we'll do that, but I do want to say
I'm thankful for everybody and Thanksgiving. Thanks for everybody for
being here and being a.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Part of the radio show.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
And you know, I know we even make a big
deal about working on the holidays and people take off.
People have a right to do whatever they want to do,
and I respect that and I'll take off. You know,
next week I'm gonna go to Detroit and New York
and see family. I just you know what I mean
this to me is okay to keep the show rolling.
I don't like to like totally abandon our listeners and
(02:47):
people the.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Quiet part out loud.
Speaker 5 (02:50):
Rob, they're not playing thanks to Baseball on Thanksgiving. If
there were Thanksgiving baseball, I wouldn't be here. You stand
a better shot and not being here. So I let
America in on a little seekret. But Rob Parker does.
He works every holiday, so that way, when it comes
to being I don't know, July thirteenth, and he wants
to watch the Cubs and the Brewers playing in Wrigley Field,
(03:13):
he can go. And Scott Sapiro can't say bump because
he worked.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
He's got all of these comp.
Speaker 5 (03:20):
Days because he didn't work, because he worked on Thanksgiving,
worked on Christmas, worked on you name it, New Year's Eve,
New Year's Day, you Valentine's Day, Sat Patrick's Day, you
name it. Rob Parker will find a way to work
as long as there's not nine innings being played nearby.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Okay, that's fair. I'm not even gonna dispute that.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
I'd rather take the time off in the summer and
go to the ballpark and hang out with friends and
all that. But I am looking forward to next week,
I'm going to the Lions Cowboys game, which will be interesting.
Where are you on that game, Mark, I'm just curious.
That's a big game in Detroit. The Cowboys offense is fantastic.
(03:59):
They look they are fantastic.
Speaker 5 (04:01):
I really like the Cowboys coming into the season. Actually,
even after making the Michael Parsons trade. Do I think
obviously you add Michael Parsons to your team or taking
him away from him, He's gonna make it better or worse,
depending on which you do. But the idea that the
Cowboys were just like gonna go away, all right, I'm
just I wasn't there for this was a team that
in the last four years of three years, in the
(04:23):
last three years prior to the year before, he has
won thirty six games twelve and five three Like this
is a double digit win team, went healthy. So I
expected with that could be healthy for them to be
around that double digit win team.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
They really blew it in Denver and in Green Bay.
Speaker 5 (04:38):
Because this game should be for them to be really
competing for the top of the NFC East. I think
that this But this game in terms of to the
point to your point earlier about how this is a
big loss for the Lions. This is a game the
Lions Cowboys. I don't know what the Lion is ahead
of time. I think these are two pretty evenly matched teams.
Would not shock me to see either one of these teams,
(05:00):
you know, come out with a touchdown win like I
wouldn't do. Both these teams line up good. But now, Lions,
this is the loss that can knock you out of
the playoffs. I know where Dallas is looking up like
they weren't expected to make the playoffs. They're they're in
the wild card hunt. They'll stay in the hunt. Winner lose. Lions,
you're in the hunt winner lose too. But it's it's
a lot uglier than it would be if you had
(05:20):
one today.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
It's gonna be like we thought today was a big
game against the Package because they had lost the first.
This is the season. This is like the season will
be on the line. I'll be in Detroit for that one,
so I'm looking forward.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Make sure you finish the job. You already know people
gonna be like, what are you doing here? You bad
luck schlip Rock.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Right now, whenever I go to Detroit, people are nice
to me, So I'm not even gonna play that I've
worked there for twenty years. And for people don't know,
Martin and I worked together in Detroit and uh came
to LA which Martin, we can't believe December first for me,
I know you came like two weeks later or something.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
When did you get something like that?
Speaker 2 (06:00):
But we're starting this will be my tenth year. And
look at so much that has happened since you came
to Los Angeles. You got a master's degree from USC
you got married. I mean, I can't get over what
like the nine years. Think about all these life changing
things that have happened. You've got a national radio show
(06:20):
on the weekend. Matter of fact, you should plug that.
And what time you're listening to it?
Speaker 5 (06:25):
This to me and Martin, if you listen to Fox
Sports Radio on Saturday, you can't miss your boy because
I'm here. I'm here not only doing I'm here upright,
But what time is your show on it? What's five
to eight?
Speaker 1 (06:36):
When when you're always five to eight Pacific? Now eight
to eleven Eastern? Whatever?
Speaker 5 (06:42):
Five to eight, eight to eleven. Me and Manzi Blanos,
the two two way players here at Fox Sports Radio.
They put us together on a show all right there.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
You go every Saturday eleven to what is it, eight
to eleven christ eight to eleven Eastern.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
All right, this is the best ad ever been done.
There you go.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
I just wanted to give you some props. Okay for
the show. But let's go here with the Ravens. And
I know, I mean, Martin. They started one and five.
They were giving up forty points. If you remember, they
gave up a game in which they scored forty points
in Buffalo to start the season.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
It's forty to twenty four, and then Josh Allen put.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
The k born exactly and it was a horrific loss.
They gave up. The Texans couldn't score touchdowns to save
their lives. The Texans scored forty, the Lions scored thirty eight.
Everybody was beating the Ravens like a drum. And now
we look up, we're at Thanksgiving and they lead the division,
(07:40):
the AFC North. They lead the division, right, and they
beat the Bengals here tonight in Baltimore. All of a sudden,
there's seven and five and have a great I just think.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
There's something to be said about this.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
The last few years, Martin, they've won a lot of
games regular season unbelievable. The thirteen wins, fourteen win whatever
it is. This might be their path where the pressure's
off because of what where the season started, and they
could build and go forward without the pressure of being
the number one seed and is Lamar finally gonna get
(08:20):
there and people counting them out.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
They're not on the radar like that. People know that.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
They're still good, but that start to the season kind
of put them on the back burner.
Speaker 5 (08:29):
Where are you on the Ravens, Yeah, they put them
on the back burner, But the problem is that the
holes too big, Like I don't see the Ravens.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
And I go to that they're right there with the Steelers,
and I know.
Speaker 5 (08:41):
That six and five and six and five were looking
to those records and they're both the same. This Ravens team,
to me is not as they're not to me markedly
better than the Steelers when I look at them, I think,
when you look at Lamar, Jackson's obviously incredible. He has
not been the same type of player that he has
been in years past. The lower body injuries are really
impacting his ability to move. I just think the Ravens
(09:02):
dug themselves too far of a whole to make themselves
real contenders this year. And it's a shame because the
rest of the AFC looks like it's gettable. But that
one in five start needs to be a two and
three start or three and two start for me to
really believe in this team.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
See, I think that it doesn't matter how you start,
it's how you finish. And I think that they have
an opportunity because we know what the talent is.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
I'm sticking with my pick.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
My original pick before the season was the Green Bay
Packers and the Baltimore Ravens. I do believe when you
look at the AFC, that they can come out of
the AFC, especially if we got we're gonna knock the
Chiefs out right, and now, I don't know, Buffalo is
not nearly as good. I don't think this year, and
(09:49):
we're looking at what Denver, you're looking at who else
in the AFC. The Chargers, Sure they can't beat those
two teams. Like I'm just saying, like off the rip,
if Patrick Homes and the Chiefs are out of the way,
and maybe Buffalo, you know, Buffalo is not gonna win
the division, right and they're gonna be on the way
it should close it.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
It will likely be New England. But my issue is
just saying I just the Chiefs. I mean the Ravens
had to make the playoffs, like that's the thing that
they're gonna win.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
They could win the division, is what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Like when they started one and five, Now this is
not they'll called that they've just got to.
Speaker 5 (10:22):
Beat the Steelers out, but I don't they still but
they still played the Steelers twice to tell they have
to win today. They like these like they are neck
and neck with the Steelers, is my point to me.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
And this, do you think.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
It's gonna win a division between those two? Are you Pitburgh?
I had picked Pittsburgh to start again.
Speaker 5 (10:40):
I was down on all three of the the I'm sorry, Ravens, Bills,
and Chiefs to start the season. So I had picked
Pittsburgh already at like ten and seven. I just didn't
expect either one of these teams to run away with
anything because I thought Pittsburgh got had gotten a little
bit better. But all their additions are so old that
it's hard to manage. But the thing that's tricky for
(11:01):
Baltimore right now, the thing that's tough for Baltimore is
the bottom of the AFC North, doesn't look like it
did the first for the first six weeks of the year.
Low Joe Burrow's back in Cincinnati. I don't expect that
team to be a team that now goes on a run.
But as we see right now, started the second quarter
or five minutes in the second quarter, it's a one
(11:22):
point game. Then those division matchups, anything can happen.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
That's what I think.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Expect you expect the Bengals to win in Baltimore to night,
I do.
Speaker 5 (11:29):
I expect them win this game going into it before
we took the I don't.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Think they're weird talking about the Ravens are a weird team.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
They get off the really slow starts and then before
you know what, they score two or three touchdown.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
I hear you.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
It hasn't been that impressive, so I get it, but
I still think I still like the Ravens. I want
to hear what you think. Martin is out on the Ravens.
I'm in on the Ravens. I think they have a path.
This might be the year they finally could get to
the super Bowl because the pressure is off somewhat. The
expectations have been way lowered with the one in five start.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Where are you on the Ravens? You in on the
Ravens or out on the Ravens?

the NFL Thanksgiving Audition.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
We'll do that. Plus we got last call. We got
all kinds of stuff.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
But right now we're talking about the Ravens and uh,
are you in or out?
Speaker 1 (14:12):
I'm still in. I picked them to go to the
super Bowl to start the season. I think this will
be a different path. Martin is out on the Ravens
and so did that touchdown? Not counted it? Huh? What
just happened?
Speaker 7 (14:23):
No?
Speaker 5 (14:23):
From my eye, and it looks like, you know, obviously
you don't have the volume up up Yep, did not count.
Isaiah likely fumbled on the one yard line out of
the back of the end zone.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
So that's a touchback, or what used to be.
Speaker 5 (14:36):
It's not no longer a touchback now its balls out
to the twenty Now touch backs longer than that, So
now the ball goes to the other team on the
twenty yard line. Crazy after falling out of the back
of the end zone. Ah quick, what's your take on
that rule? I find that's the most one of the
more controversial rules, and on the timeline right now, I'm
sure of it. And the YouTube comments there's a bunch
of people arguing about whether it's a good rule or bad.
(14:57):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
I don't understand the rule at all.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
I don't understand why the other team should get the
ball if you have possession of the ball like and
it goes out of I don't understand what don't I don't.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
I don't understand it. I think it's one of the
best rules in the game. But based on what because because.
Speaker 5 (15:12):
At no other place do you just have to reach
the ball over for it to count like a first down,
you have to actually cross.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
But the other why should the other team get the ball?
Is what I'm just saying to you, Like, that's the
part I don't understand.
Speaker 5 (15:24):
Because it should be very punitive if and that I
think if you're going into the end zone, it should
be punitive.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
It should be you should have to maintain possession into
the end zone.
Speaker 5 (15:32):
And if you're a defense like I don't have I
don't I get where people are like, why are you
rewarding the defense offense?
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Nothing?
Speaker 8 (15:38):
Right?
Speaker 5 (15:38):
I don't under you reward the defense for forcing a fumble.
I think it's one of the best rules in the game.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
You know, how do you get forced fumble to have
to recover it? They did just force a fumble, but
they didn't recover it. Any other time, they'd have to
recover the ball, That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
But any other if it.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Goes out of bounds anywhere else on the field other
than the end zone, it goes out whoever had the
ball every other time?
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Different. The rules that exist in the end zone aren't
true for any other place in the field either. Yeah,
I don't understand it.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox Chay, who we
got again?
Speaker 1 (16:11):
I'm sorry, I just can't. Who is it?
Speaker 9 (16:15):
Check?
Speaker 2 (16:15):
You tell me if you're on hole say how okay?
Justin and Bermuda, I'm sorry, happy Thanksgiving? I was screening
is down my man, sorry about that.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
How are you justin?
Speaker 10 (16:29):
Hey, guys, Happy Thanksgiving to my American friends.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
We appreciate that. Thank you, Thanks for the support, thanks
for listening.
Speaker 10 (16:37):
Yeah, and Martin, I think you had your your weddings
after mind, So congratulations.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Man, congratulations to you.
Speaker 5 (16:44):
Just right much undefeated, That's what I tell him.
Speaker 10 (16:47):
Still going straight, man, still going strong. She ain't kick
me out the health Yes, all right, Yeah, I think
the question was about the reasons, right. I think I'm
with Rob on this one. I think Ravens could do
it this year like they haven't done the other years.
Because it's like the one time Aaron Rodgers got a
Super Bowl with the Packers, like they went up, they
(17:08):
went the hard way all those years he won MV.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
Now there were six seeds, Yep.
Speaker 10 (17:12):
They couldn't get it done.
Speaker 9 (17:14):
But the one year that.
Speaker 10 (17:14):
Nobody expected them to was the one year they got it.
So I think this might have This might be the
way the Ravens have to do. Maybe they can't do
it with all the pressure on as the number.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
One seed, that's what I really think that I remember
that when when uh. And I'll give you another example.
The two Super Bowls that the Giants won. That was
sixth seeds. They went on the road there, that was
Super wildcard. They didn't win a division. Sure, I'm not
look I am not just just I'm.
Speaker 10 (17:40):
Sorry so that that fumble do a lot of enzine
that you were talking about. I know the answer to that.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Go for it.
Speaker 10 (17:47):
I think you, guys, American football comes from rugby, and
in rugby, if you, as the offensive player, lose the
ball anywhere out of bounds, it's the team's.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Ball's right, but not any other place on the field
other than that, he's saying.
Speaker 5 (18:02):
In rugby, if you if anytime I'm off of the
player fumbles out of bounds, it's the other team's ball,
which honestly.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
I'd be okay with. You should hold on to the
ball if it should be on you.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
I don't think I don't think if you, but if
it fumbles and goes out of bounds, I don't.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Think you should get the ball.
Speaker 5 (18:17):
Are you in Are you in Hamilton or Saint George's
Parish in Bermuda?
Speaker 10 (18:21):
I mean neither, But I mean the island's tiny, bro,
You're you're never more than a mile away from the beach.
No matter where you are, there you go.
Speaker 5 (18:28):
You know, I stayed in Remuta for a month when
I was a kid. That's how I know about these
different parishes. Yeah, well, thank you, hey, hey, justin thank
you again, my man. Happy Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
We appreciate you.

Sixty three sixty nine in Vegas. Hey Joel in Vegas.
Speaker 5 (18:50):
You're on the odd couples, Jola, how's it going, Joela, Jola?
Speaker 1 (18:55):
What's happening? My man? Happy Thanksgiving?
Speaker 10 (18:57):
How's it going?
Speaker 4 (18:58):
Man?
Speaker 10 (18:58):
I can be watching these.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
Games or what? Oh yeah, are you kidding? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Just uh, that's Thanksgiving, man, all the games. Not surprised.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
I picked both games right, the first two and I'm
just waiting. I picked up Baltimore as well.
Speaker 9 (19:11):
Who he tells you is not who he tells the tike.
It's our tick, man. I ain't going with your think.
But now let me tell you something. I saw you
and your man is talking about that rule where he
fumbled out of the end zone. We gotta remember football
is a war. For imagine like somebody had a message
they had to tell the other lines across their holes,
(19:32):
but two of them would die. You gotta complete the message.
You can't die. You gotta complete the mission.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 9 (19:38):
I love that.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
I love that rule.
Speaker 9 (19:40):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 10 (19:41):
It's you know, glitzen, that's a that's.
Speaker 9 (19:43):
The war deal or you know what I'm saying. Somebody
so we gotta remember that?
Speaker 1 (19:47):
So why but why?
Speaker 3 (19:48):
But what?
Speaker 2 (19:49):
But it doesn't make sense to me as far as
then that has to be the same play.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
If it's on the sidelines, Why have you fumble the
ball out?
Speaker 3 (19:56):
Why?
Speaker 10 (19:57):
Because you didn't do your job?
Speaker 9 (19:59):
You gotta come.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
No, but you fumbled the ball.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
You fumbled the ball. You did not You fumbled the
ball and went out a bounds. It's the same thing.
Speaker 10 (20:08):
That's not good. You can't fumble.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
That's the point. Fumbling is not good and fumbling should
be punished. That's a why not event.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
If I'm at the five yard line instead of the
end zone and I fumble, why don't I have to
give up the ball?
Speaker 5 (20:21):
Then I'd be fine with that. I'd be a okay
with that. But in the end, zone where it's the
only place that you can score a touchdown. You fumble
out the back of it, you should lose the ball
like you lose the war. All right, Hey, we're appreciated.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Joel up, happy Thanksgiving you and your fam Thank you.
All right, coming up Tyser's Tower of Trivia. But first
let's get you caught up a little. Martin Weiss with
the update.
Speaker 5 (20:48):
Bengals, I'm sorry, Ravens with the lead, which is owned
the four minutes left in the first half, but Bengals
driving now seven to six. Cincinnati's at first and goald
Joe Burrow has his first start back from injuries. Twelve

the winner. Yes, sports has a short MANU wins and loss.
Speaker 5 (30:27):
To say this, normally we ask Alex you ready. It
feels to me the question should have been, Shaye, you're
ready now?
Speaker 2 (30:39):
We always we always asked Alex Okay, now all right, Hey,
coming up next? Okay, Alex, Shae. We already know Saga
already tried it. But the Thanksgiving Day debate is always
about sweet potato pots and punkin pie. I don't think
(31:04):
it's a debate because one is so much better than
the other. We're gonna have a little pie. Shaye, you've
never had sweet potato pie?
Speaker 1 (31:12):
Correct? Never? We could do a live reaction, Yes.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
I want you to do that, Alex, you could talk
about it as well, just and sager.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
We'll do that. Yes, we'll do that and much more,
same move he made for Cowboy. I'm just saying, I'm
just saying, we'll do that and much more.

of the best things in the world.
Speaker 3 (33:58):
Oh God, but people say all.
Speaker 4 (34:01):

All right, he's never ever no ice cream. No ice cream, man, that's.
Speaker 1 (34:25):
Ice cream with a pumpkin pie, sweet potato pie. I
know ice cream. I got three robs screaming the worst case.
All here we go, can't wait.
Speaker 11 (34:37):
I'm transting. It's in the mouth. That's a drop. It
tastes exactly like pumpkin pie. No, it does not exact same.
Rock is not a single difference.
Speaker 5 (34:51):
I do feel like this is similar to like the
Pepsi challenge. It looks like you need to have the
other one taste there in case you are incorrect.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
I feel like I had.
Speaker 2 (35:01):
Sweet potato pie today too, right for the first time,
jump on the mi did you, Saga, Did you have
it for the first time today?
Speaker 8 (35:10):
Yeah, that's my first time eating the pie and everything,
and it was actually really good. I did not expect
this flavor like at all.
Speaker 1 (35:17):
You've never had it before.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
Never, It's delicious, sweet potato, Alex, you've had it before.
Speaker 4 (35:22):
Had this so many times, and I'll tell you this,
it has ruined pumpkin pie for me. I cannot have
pumpkin I.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
Don't know, Shay, you think they taste the same. Pumpkin pies, bland.
Speaker 1 (35:32):
Potato tastes the same.
Speaker 5 (35:33):
Is because no one eats pumpkin pie on a consistent basis.
It's not like he had pumpkin pie last week.
Speaker 1 (35:39):
It's only during the holiday.
Speaker 5 (35:41):
It's only nobody eats pumpkin pie in general, which is
why he thinks that this is just what pie is
supposed to taste like.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
Don't remember what pie tastes like.
Speaker 12 (35:48):
It's the same exact it's the same.
Speaker 3 (35:51):
Color, the same consistence.
Speaker 11 (35:54):
It might be like after five seconds of chewing it,
I get a little bit of like a sweet It
doesn't even smell the same a christ Are three hundred,
like a Bentley.
Speaker 1 (36:02):
It doesn't.
Speaker 12 (36:05):
It's so it's sweet like, I don't know, really, tweet
at us. Let us know what you guys think if
you're eating a pumpkin If you have a pumpkin pie
and a sweet potato pie wherever you guys are at
right now, tweet at us and let us know if
they taste.
Speaker 1 (36:17):
Here's the thing.
Speaker 5 (36:17):
If you have a and a swep potato pie in
the same place, you no longer have a swup potato pie.
Speaker 1 (36:22):
All you got left to the pumpkin pie is really
that much better? Yeah, my god, it's insane, dude, I
must be saying something. Would you rather walk or drive?
Is that? Wait? So wait?
Speaker 11 (36:35):
Is sweet potato pie like your favorite pies? Like that's
at the top of the pies for you guys.
Speaker 2 (36:40):
No, No, for the holidays like Thanksgiving. Yeah, I don't
have sweet potato pie in June or July.
Speaker 12 (36:46):
It's not like a normal it's a holiday.
Speaker 5 (36:50):
Personally, everybody eating right now is chilling my ears. But
also I just have to say for everybody else's driving around,
like I hate when people do this. I do too,
and I'm not I ate earlier. But no, of the
vegetable pies, yes too. Potato is the best one of
the vegetable. Yeah, I can agree.
Speaker 1 (37:09):
That's true. Pies that are created by vegetable, it's true.
What else is? It's just was there? Squash pie, punk pies,
potato pie. Those are the only two I could think of.
Challenge you to name one betans hoo potato. You named two,
you haven't, didn't. I can't.
Speaker 4 (37:24):
It's not fair to compare it to like apple pie
or blueberry pie, fruit pie. App This is a totally
different toy. But people have had that discussion. I just
think truly, Rob, and I'm very happy you did this.
Most people have actually never tried sweet potato. Yeah, I'm
happy you write it in. You have to find it. Actually,
everywhere you go it's generic pumpkin pie.
Speaker 5 (37:43):
I know, there's a there's a rest, there's a restaurant,
grocery store with stones throw from here. You can find
you apple pie, pea cam pie, punkin pie.
Speaker 1 (37:53):
No sweet potato pie. Last I saw you.
Speaker 11 (37:55):
It's because of the demographic that's in there, just bezos hates.
Speaker 1 (38:01):
Maybe this case. You don't look like a sweep tail. Yeah, yeah,
I was about to say that. I don't.
Speaker 12 (38:06):
I don't know it in that in that grocery store.
I'll tell you delicious, even storebo ioy. My mom was
a great baker. A matter of fact, the kids used
to you know, gave her a nickname growing up. They
called a Betty Crocker because my mom was such a
good baker, you know, growing up as a kid.
Speaker 1 (38:23):
I almost played something else for you.
Speaker 2 (38:27):
It's a holiday. I want to I want to hold
onto my job. I'm good. What a great night.
Speaker 4 (38:32):
Shots to you for bringing all the stuff from No no,
thank you, Rob yea absolutely Rob brought us a whole
meal Thanksgiving meal.
Speaker 1 (38:39):
Mar I brought my sparkling personality still waiting on it.
We did talk about what we hated the most about Thanksgiving.
I'm great at that.
Speaker 13 (38:47):
What do you hate about Thanksgiving? We already talked about that.
I was gonna say, what do you guys love about it? Honestly,
this art, this conversation is one. Yeah, that is just
about exposure. I'm not even talking about the hate. I'm
stuck on the idea that you.
Speaker 5 (39:00):
Said, sweet potato pine and poking pie tastes same.
Speaker 11 (39:03):
It is it is though it literally Okay, I'm trying
to be like a radio guy right now.
Speaker 2 (39:07):
This tastes exactly the same. No, it doesn't it tastes buds.
This is much sweeter than a pumpkin pie. You don't
think it's sweeter.
Speaker 1 (39:16):
I need it. I need the pie because I need
the pumpkin.
Speaker 5 (39:18):
Because nobody ever sagur can pie unless you put the
headphones on.
Speaker 1 (39:24):
Saga.
Speaker 2 (39:24):
He you have pumpkin pie before, saga, Right, you have
pumpkin pie before.
Speaker 1 (39:29):
This is way sweeter than that, am I right? Yeah?
Speaker 8 (39:31):
Surprisingly, I thought it was gonna taste like a vegetable,
like I thought it was gonna be like, you know,
tart or just very like stringy. But it was almost
exactly like pumpkin pie, if not better.
Speaker 1 (39:40):
Right, it is better because to me it's sweeter.
Speaker 4 (39:43):
I'm it's disrespectful to say almost if he just he
literally just said almost the same as pumpkin.
Speaker 12 (39:49):
But it's if you had to pick water better though, okay,
a little bit better, a little bit.
Speaker 1 (39:54):
Oh, that's like saying like what's better?
Speaker 4 (39:56):
Like Rob, I just learned that only you and I
should be having sweet potato pie.
Speaker 11 (39:59):
Moving Okay, it's like do you want to eat chocolate or
do you want to eat fudge? That's what like, that's
what I hear.
Speaker 4 (40:05):
Right now, It's like bringing them to like a three
star Michel and they're like, oh, it's a good steak.
Speaker 1 (40:08):
I've had all those carneo sada. It's the same. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (40:11):
