Speaker 1 (00:00):
Mac with Black Friday just around the corner, just around No,
we're not doing that again. That's a one time thing.
Don't you dare taint our moment?
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Sih.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
One of the biggest Black Friday toys that happened while
we were kids was the was the murdering for Power
Ranger toys?
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Yeah? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (00:19):
And did you know that this past weekend Hasboro put
up for auction all of their Power Ranger memorabilia. So
I just caught your eye.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Wait, so they had like a warehouse of stuff.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Yes. The auction that concluded this weekend, Hasborough sold off
a trove of Power Rangers costumes, props, and other memorabilia
for the franchisees three decades of history.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
The top selling item was an eighty inch Cosmic Blaster
used in the twenty twenty three Netflix release Power Rangers.
Cosmic Fury sold for just under ninety k.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
How was the top seller? Not any sort of thing
that amy Joe Johnson war.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Another big ticket item was a Transformable Astromegaship Astro Megazord
hero filming miniature that went for just under fifty k.
The top selling costume was the Green Ranger worn by
Jason David Frank, the late Jason David Frank that went
(01:23):
for just under thirty thousand dollars. The Pink Ranger costume
went for twenty two thousand dollars, and steal the Yellow
Ranger costume went for twenty three thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Give me Amy Joe Johnson's panties for forty grand goo.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
You didn't even let me ask the question. I was
gonna say if money was not an issue.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Yeah, pink Pi Rangers suit outfit, yep, I'll.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Give you an extra five dollars if I can smell
it now.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Uh the real answer, yes, was I real answer? One
of my costumes for Eternity is a Green Ranger costume.
So I would love the Green Ranger costume. I wouldn't
fit in it, though, that'd be the issue.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
If we're going costumes, I wouldn't mind Golddar's costume, Rita
Rapunzel's staff Repulsa Rida Rapulsa staff.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
What about zord On's tube.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
That's a good one. Oh, lord Z's staff too, with
the big z on it good staff slash his inside
out body and wouldn't mind getting his inside out.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
This costume would be sweet because you get that visor too.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
So I could just sit here with the stupid visor
on talking to you right now. I think I would
like the miniatures of the Zords that would then eventually
come together to make the Megazord.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
I think I would like to wear Ammy Joe Johnson's panties.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Yeah, I know on my face. Okay, all right, but
this is a family friendly television program, just like The
Power Rangers.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
I'm just making a mockery of this. Gud I are
I enjoy? I would you know what? It would be
a cost effective thing. I know Friar would probably outbid
me on those though, that's the issue. Whatever I bid dollar,
Friar's one dollar more.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
You know what though. The dragon flute, oh.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
That would be sick. I bought a I almost bought
a functional dragon phone.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
I'm thinking of way too many things right now. The
White Ranger Tiger staff, because that could talk to you.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Oh, that thing is sick. I'm trying to figure out
how many times I could say panties in this episode.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Well, lucky for you, we're about to start tearing.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
So one good three yeah, John three, King of Queen.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Meryl Street entertaining, and we are the Mac and Goo Program.
We are here to say we're sorry to make amends
octeerber fell short. But here we are hat in hand
saying please forgive us.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Yeah, I got nothing to add to that. Goo. I'm
I'm I'm happy to be talking about Thanksgiving things go.
Once upon a time, you and I used to, uh,
used to go out every single night prior to Thanksgiving,
as many of us did at one point or another.
I think, how old were you when you realized it
was one year too many that you went out on
the Wednesday night before Thanksgiving?
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Thanks it was two years ago. It was easily two
years ago.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
I remember going out. I went out with you one night.
We went to Miller's over there in Watatown's no longer
there anymore, with your then uh, I don't even know.
She was your frowncy, then your then girlfriend and a friend.
And then I think I went out the next year
to the same place and I was like oh, because
then it was like all my sister's friends that were
in there, and I was like, yeah, I'm too old.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Well, we did a reunion and then went to a
local establishment just two years ago, and that's when I said,
you know what, oh right right, yeah, Thanksgiving Day I
need to be a more functional.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
We did our fifteen year reunion.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Which isn't a real thing, but go ahead.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
We were two of twelve people that showed up.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Yeah, so it was the fifteen year and less than
fifteen showed up.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Yeah. And a little peak behind the curtain here. The
city that we grew up in still kind of tighten it,
and we grew up with Facebook, so everyone still knows
everyone's shit. You know. It's not a I think our
generation will be the start of those like reunions going
away because you just see everyone shit anyways.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Yeah, and then also the people that you don't see
you don't want to see.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Great point, Yeah, great point.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
So you mentioned Towny night Mac. This Thanksgiving, we are
giving you a tiering of all of the events that
happened during Thanksgiving weekends.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
And there's quite a bit. Is it sort of signals like,
I know, winter starts technically before right, I don't even know.
To me, like the start of winter is Thanksgiving week,
you have Thanksgiving, the shopping begins like right around then.
That to me is a quintessential winter. That sort of thing.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
So let's get to the tiering of Thanksgiving weekend events.
Things that you do for the holiday a lot of
from Wednesday night through Sunday, you do a lot on Thanksgiving.
So I will bring this up right now. The tears
at the bottom, the worst possible stuff from the weekend,
le gimblets, the worst part of the turkey.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
We got five tiers here, five tiers. Folks at home,
we got a visual here. Yeah, if you'd like, I'd
like to hop on the YouTube and see it.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Then the second to last is get it out of here,
see you later, throw it in the bin. In the
middle is it's fine. It's fine max opinion on most movies.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
No, fuck you.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Then the second to best is holiday essentials.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Stuff you need, stuff you need. You might not like it,
but it's necessary.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Yeah. And then finally, the best part of Thanksgiving, the
best part of the weekend sides.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Yep, I'll tell you right now, not the turkey.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
It's the sides.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
That's what makes Goo and I similar, that makes us great.
We agree wholeheartedly. The best part about Thanksgiving dinner is
the sides. I don't even need the turkey. I'll have some.
I'll dabble, give me seven sides.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Let's get started with towny night. That is when you
will go out with your old friends from your old
town right right the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, and I will
say that it is get out of here, especially at
our age.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Yeah, I thought you were gonna go a tier below
that I was gonna go this, and we're coming from
different perspectives now it's now going on the other side
of it goo, where me as a single man in
my mid thirties, I almost got to get out there
and go out Wednesday night, you know what I mean.
So I don't love it. It's fine, but I think
it belongs better in this dear, get it out of here.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
I am trying to have my best foot forward for
the weekend and not taint my entire weekend.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
No, that's true too, And for this year, I actually
got to work on Thanksgiving Eve, so I don't have
an option.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Okay, so the next part of Thanksgiving would be, oh,
the next morning going to a high school football game,
taking in the old Pinskin locally, and I think this
is fine.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Oh, I'd go a tier below. Really I did it once,
but it ties into the night before Goo, so maybe
this is something that's going up. I was incredibly hungover.
I hate it every fucking second of it, and it
was like thirty eight degrees. You know, it's cold weather.
I'm hungover. It's not something I'm looking forward to. I
think as we get older, maybe we have children in
(08:36):
the high school, maybe we know kids playing that aren't
our peers. Maybe it goes up, but I'd say get
it out of here. To me, it's very similar to
what I'm sure is coming up at some point our
turkey trot. Oh.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
By the way, we each get two vetos in a stamp.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Okay, two vetos in a stampiness agree.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
I might move that up one because, as you just said,
as you have children. I bring my son to this
now he loves it. Okay, that's fair music. There's do
you wear your helmet?
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Do you wear your letamon jacket?
Speaker 1 (09:05):
My letterman jacket that's a size two XL. I really
thought I was gonna grow into that.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
No, you know, I think it was just the thing.
Everyone did it. And even when you see high school
kids now, their letamon jackets are way too big for them.
I think it's just the style of the letterman jacket.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
All right, let's go to the turkey trot, and I
am putting this in the giblets.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Yeah, I'm not gonna argue with you on that. I'm
never gonna do it, never gonna do it. I don't know,
I don't I don't care. I think it's maybe the
worst thing ever invented actually, so yeah, we'll keep it.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
And don't get me wrong, I would love to wake
up on Thanksgiving morning and like work out or something
like that. Shit, even I'll hop on the StairMaster the
day before, you know, because I'm gonna eat a lot
of food.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
I know, my face don't want to and run. And
then it plays into the Wednesday night thing. Most people
go and drink afterwards, so it's like, why don't you
just drink before and not go?
Speaker 1 (09:54):
All right, I guess we'll now go to the one
o'clock or so, the twelve already football game, the NFL game,
and I would say that this is a holiday essential.
And because the Lions are so good now, that's always
the early game. That might be sides?
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Are they always the early game?
Speaker 1 (10:14):
They're always the early game. Cowboys are the four and
then I know they try and sneak Green Bay in
there as much as possible, but they usually play one
of those two teams.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Yeah, it's it's an essential for sure. The early game
usually sneaks up on you though you're like getting ready
for the day. You might be might have just gotten
to where you're supposed to go, But by the time
you're paying attention to the early game, it's like.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Second third quarter. You can get some late bets in right, right,
You're not gonna get any parlays in there because you're
always way too late for it, unless you're waking up
and doing it. That's not a bad tradition either, waking
up and setting a DK lineup for the day.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
I just set my DK lineup up two hours ago
for Thursday.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
For Thursday, love it. Do some nice ladders on Dak Prescott,
who's not playing this.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Year, Big Cooper Rushkay, I'm not a Big Cooper Rush guy.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
I'm not.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
No, he's feeding ceed lamb though. It's not bad.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
All right, Let's go to Thanksgiving dinner, which is I
don't I think we should change this because no one
has Thanksgiving dinner. For dinner, it's lunch.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Yeah, we eat roughly two pm. It's neither lunch nor dinner.
But we're definitely not eating at like five six o'clock.
The people that do that are fucking psychopaths. I want
to eat. You want to eat early because it enables
two things. Number One, you get to spend more time
with people, more time in the day. Number Two, it
allows for immediate leftovers at five or six o'clock. You
(11:32):
go back in there, you make up a whole different
plate or maybe the same plate, maybe like the same shit.
Maybe you make a sandwich. It's essential to eat early
so that you could have leftovers at like six, five, seven,
whatever sides. Yeah, yeah, it's gotta be.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
And look, I'm not even saying that turkey is great
or whatever meat you're serving with. I just love the sides.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Yeah. And there's like a whole pomp and circumstances to
the thing. Right, Usually wherever you go has a whole lineup,
but you know, you go through, you go, everyone has
the same seat they usually sit in. It's it's a
whole thing. It's a ceremony.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Oh I forgot to put one at the beginning. Let
me jump in right now. That's a rewind the sound effect.
So you don't work in an office, but they might
have done this when you were at school, and that
is either the week before or the Wednesday before Thanksgiving,
they have a turkey dinner.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Oh yeah, yeah, like the last official day before you
go on holiday. Yeah yeah, it's fine.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
It's not.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
No, you're not into it.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
I'm gonna stamp it in giblets. I hate this more
than anything in the world.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
It's like a primer.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Though I understand. I understand why they do it. Not
everyone is lucky enough to go home and have a
turkey dinner. I'm fortunate. We're both fortunate for that. But
I want a turkey dinner twice, maybe three times a year. Yeah,
not twice in a week.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
I I would. My argument would be that I would
like to eat stuffing always, so if there's a good
stuffing involved, it should go up a tier. At the
very least.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
It's one of my biggest pet peeves in life.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Yeah, I get it, I get that. But if so,
if it's primarily based on the turkey and the gravy,
I think you're probably right with this tier. But if
there's some good sides, and there's probably not, it should
go up a tier.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
I've already stamped it, all right.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Oh you stamped it. I stamped it all right. Fuck shit,
it's been stamped.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Let's go to the four to thirty football game. And
this I would say is it's fine. It's usually a
decent game, but it kind of goes with the next
part of your very sleepy at this point because of
the tripta fan of the turkey and you are going
for your after dinner nap. That would be a holiday essential.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Agreed. I'm gonna stamp the four thirty game in sides.
That is the classics, the game everyone's paying attention to.
To your point, it's usually the cowboy game team of America.
And moreover, there's nothing better than like betting the game,
slowly washing the game.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Falling asleep, waking up in fourth quarter.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Yeah, end of the third, beginning of the fourth, and
getting reinvested into the game. It's an absolute staple of
the day.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
I don't know, I'm more of the twelve thirty game.
I'm definitely more into that because you're getting hyped for
the food, you're eating apps, just pounding shrimp. By the
time of the four thirty you've already seen one game,
you're tired from the food, you're eating desserts.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Probably arguing with the weird uncle.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
I mean, yeah, that's most of the day. What else
happens on Thanksgiving, that is on this what the school lunch? Thanksgiving?
He had two of them on there, Billy d they're
both going in giblets.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
School lunch and what was the other one? Like a
work the work one. Yeah, school lunch wasn't bad though,
because you were a kid. He didn't really fucking it.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Once again, I don't.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
You didn't have strong opinion.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Listen to me, child, No, listen to me right now
as a parent, Right now, I don't want my son
eating too with turkey dinners in a day, in two days.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
You don't want them having a little cranberry sauce. That's
usually what it was. It was like shitty turkey and
cranberry sauce. All right, Yeah, you're right. I'm not gonna
argue that you're right.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Don't you dare taint my son do the eight thirty game.
Let's go to the eight thirty game, the eight twenty game.
This is get out of here. I'm so tired.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
I was gonna say it's fine. I was gonna say
it's fine.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Even the games, like when the papers make it through
the game, like the butt Fumble game was an eight
twenty game on Thanksgiving? Yeah, and you had to will
yourself to stay awake for that.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
No, typically it's when you're you might catch the first half.
That's when you're driving home. It's fine, it's there, it exists.
You're not really paying attention to it. But it's another
reason you're.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
A little footballed out by that point too.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Yeah, I agree, I agree.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
I guess we'll do Thanksgiving leftovers next.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
It's a okay, go, it's sides, all right. I was
gonna say holiday essential, No, it sides. I'm not a
huge leftovers guy. After the fact, same day, love it
that night, but then we get a day or two
days later. I'm like, to your point, though, I'm sick
of turkey, and I'm sick of these same things. It's
kind of what the point you were arguing.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
I take everything that's left over, take all that slop,
and just put it into a sandwich.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Yeah, I like that same day, but I would we'll wave.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
The classic Ross Geller moistmaker. I will take that. I
also forgot, so you don't have to deal with it
as much. But you are a child of divorce because
your parents don't.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Love you never were even married.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Actually, oh, so I guess your parents do love you.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Yea out of wedlock.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Lucky for you then, but they didn't abort me.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
What a win.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
For Thanksgiving, you need to plan out your day because
you have several families that you have to go to.
You have in laws, but you don't have the in
laws that you're also trying to plan things up.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
But isn't the staple, right, So you do one Thanksgiving
one Christmas Eve.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Now we're just doing split day both days. Yeah, creates
a very long day.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Yeah, that's a lot.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
So I would say this is get out of here.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
I'm okay with that. I'm okay with that. But I
will say so the tradition that my local family has,
and it is quite we're from all over the place,
Like I have cousins that aren't really my cousins, but
we call my cousins and uncles and that whole thing
because you're rednecks. Right, Yeah, there you go. I am
wearing my Hampton Beach shirt. It's one of those things.
So we all go because it's such a large family,
(17:31):
large Irish Catholic family. There's like four or five six
sights and then we all meet up at this one
person's house and we do like a nightcap. We do
some drinks, whatever food's left over, and I really enjoy that.
All the adults show up and all the kids go away.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
It's like the Vince von Reese Witherspoon holiday classic four Christmases.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Yeah, except you know a different holiday.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Let's go to Black Friday, and it's not what it
used to be Black Friday. It used to be doors
at midnight or you get them at five am. You
go to the stores, and there were amazing deals for
a very short window of time. Black Friday started this
year on Sunday. I would say, kind of bullshit.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
And I'm sure you would echo this. We are very
lucky that we did not grow up as parents when
Black Friday was a thing, because parents would be running
out at midnight on Thanksgiving to go get shit for
the stupid ass kids.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
I will say, this is that so even now with
the bad savings, the savings are just there for the week.
I still wake up in door bust on Black Friday.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
Just because you like doing it, though not for a
good reason.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
I do like doing it.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Well.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
My favorite thing is I set a budget for Christmas.
I set a budget for what I'm gonna spend on people,
It's kind of like being a GM in baseball and
you are like, there's a bit of flexibility to what
the budget is. You go over, you're gonna get taxed.
But finding and being like I just save twenty five
(19:02):
on this, I can now get this too, and just
building up the best roster of gifts. I'm all about it.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
You know what My tradition is, what's that Black Friday
and or the next one coming up is I'll buy
something for myself. Yes, And then when I go and
buy gifts, it's like three days before Christmas.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
I used to. And we grew up in a time
when you know, DVD's were cool but no, but DVDs
were cool.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Black Friday DVD sales were the best.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
You got me the unrated version of Corky Romano.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Why those three dollars a target? What do you want?
I used all my goodie bucks on it.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
I mean Best Buy did have the best little bin
of five dollars DVD's. You could swim through that thing
and find something.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Yeah, And you would get home and your parents would say, oh,
what'd you buy? And you're like, oh, I bought the
movie Arthur, the one with Russell Brand why'd you buy that?
It was four dollars?
Speaker 2 (19:57):
Have you seen it?
Speaker 3 (19:57):
No?
Speaker 2 (19:58):
But people say it's fine.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
People say it's not as good as the original. So
Black Friday is get out of here. I think it's
close to Giblets because they've ruined it.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
So here's the question. Bring it up. Now. Are you
saying Cyber Monday greater than Black Friday? Oh?
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Easily. Cyber Monday you get sweet deals.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
I like Black Friday more than I like Cyber Monday.
I'm over it by Cyber Monday.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Cyber Monday you actually do get amazing deals.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
Like Cyber Monday is my whole year. I'm looking at
shit all the time online.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
You know so, aren't I? But you get the deal.
The deals are there, the deal of the day.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
I don't think it's a tier above Black Friday to me.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
I'll put it with it.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
But okay, all right, all right.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
Look, they could both be better, agreed, but they're not.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
I mean, it is sort of stunning that there isn't
a place, a store that is running a real doorbuster, like, hey,
get in here and you get this, but you're also
gonna buy this first.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
Walmart might be. I think Target got busted last year
for doing fake door busters.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
You know what's fucked. Yes, the closest Walmart to us
is like fucking framing it framing ever. Yeah, it's not great.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
It's not great, But.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
In Boston city limits, Walmart's not very good. I mean
it is Walmart.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
It's a good point. You also have small Business Saturday.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
I didn't even know this existed until two days ago
and he told me about this bullshit.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
But this goes with the other one that has left,
and that is putting up Christmas decorations and all related
May I explain me finish? So tradition, every single year
I have done this. How old am I thirty five? Yeah,
I've done this for thirty five years, thirty six years
of We always decorate my mother's house the Saturday after Thanksgiving.
(21:54):
We've always done it, always put the tree up, do
everything there. So what usually happens is we have broken lights,
maybe the tree is busted, we need more stuff, and
we always end up going to Target five times on
that Saturday, which is the opposite of small Business Saturday.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
So my perspective on this, GUP. I always like the
idea of supporting small businesses, and I actually really do
when I can local bakery, local coffee shop, whatever.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
You didn't even know about their holiday.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
I know that's what I'm saying off of your soap. No,
this is a holiday made for people that don't typically
support small businesses. It's for the frauds. Oh you are
are the frauds. For the frauds.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Why did you get me a Valentine's gift? I celebrate
you look at Valentine's every day.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
This is giblets, Kimmy Gibbler, it's giblets. Yeah, this is
out out on this like this, This is a thing
that should be done year round, no doubt in my mind.
It's dumb and not for nothing to smush it between
Black Friday and Monday. You know what, this might be
the time of year I least care about small businesses.
I'm trying to get the fucking shopping done.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
And I would say that decorating for Christmas is holiday essentials.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Yeah, it's not for me. I'm just not a decorator
in general. To me to pain in the ass, I
don't like putting something up that I gotta take down
again in one month, So I'm out on that in general.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
Well then why don't you just do what I do
and put it up two months early.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
I just don't put it up at all.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Also, I I'm not a monster. I put my outdoor
stuff out the weekend of Thanksgiving.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
The last time I had a real tree in my
apartment was maybe seven years ago, and I will never
ever have a real tree in one of my domains
ever again.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Ever, do you like our tears?
Speaker 2 (23:45):
I mean we should have had more. It's fines.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
Well, you can start moving some stuff. You have some vetos.
What do you want to move?
Speaker 2 (23:51):
All right? Move Black Friday up to It's fine.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
Okay Black Friday. Although Black Friday used to be a
holiday essential.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
I agree. That's why Boston was the best. That's why
I think it fits better right in the middle there.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Okay, what else are you seeing?
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Now? Can you use one of yours?
Speaker 1 (24:05):
No, I'm I'm really really. I mean maybe the checklist
might go down one to try and figure out your
schedule for the holidays. That sucks, But get out of
here is pretty good because you gotta figure it out.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
Yeah, we should almost. We almost should have just made
the bottom tier called turkey trot, right, That would have
made more sense.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
Turkey trot and too many turkey dinners.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
I'm gonna use my turkey, my last one and move
Turkey Trot down below the bottom tier.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
So you want it off the board.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
I think there's a thing to be said about turkey
trot folks, right like, if your turkey trot family turn
this podcast off, I don't want your your ears leave,
leave the planet, don't bring your don't bring your fucking
five k agenda into my fucking not my America, turkey
trot people.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
So guys head over to tiermaker dot com. I will
put this tier in our bio once again. Thank you
to the other Billy d for making it. And let
us know about your Thanksgiving tradition weekends or your Thanksgiving weekends.
How do you tear? What is going on? Let's get
(25:13):
into mac sach Matthew. You see this? Do you hear
about this? By the way, your sack could be anything,
It could be a boat. But posted by at j
wep on x he said you have one hour to
eat this for one hundred thousand dollars. Who are you
calling for help? And what he posted was a photo
(25:36):
of four large SODA's twenty McNuggets, two large French fries,
and four double quarter pounders with cheese from McDonald's. I
ask you, who would you call for help?
Speaker 2 (25:50):
Yeah? I did see this, and my instant reaction was,
I'm pretty sure I could do this by myself. I'm
almost positive.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
So my second question was how long do you need?
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Out and getting the twenty nugs down, two fries, sodas,
and two qpcs double qpcs. This four, probably gonna get
the third one down, might have trouble with it. I'm
gonna need help on the final double QPC, I think,
so are you a double QPC guy? Are you into
that type of shit?
Speaker 1 (26:18):
It doesn't matter. I'll eat anything with a fucking.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Garbage, so I'll call you in. I think I could
do it myself in an hour roughly, but I would
struggle with that last sandwich. That's that would be the
thing I would definitely need help on, and maybe half
of the third sandwich.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
As someone who eats food way too quickly and I'm
a bottomless pit, I could do this in under thirty minutes.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
Well so to that point, I've done a couple eating contests.
Your window really is the first thirty minutes, because after
that everything sets in, especially including the liquid, and then
you're just so full you can't you can't eat. So Really,
when people when things giving an hour to do shit,
you kind of got to do it in thirty minutes.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
As as a small boy growing up in a household
with a very large bru that I had a very
small window to get my food in before it was gone,
and that lives with me.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
Nothing was better than claiming the extra bag fries, the
fries that had fallen out of the thing.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
You know, I did, Like someone made a joke on
here that the person I would call is my father
to let him know that I won one hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
Coolest and who wants to be a millionaire moment of
all time? It was fucking phenomenal. I think about it too.
How many times in your heyday would you get McDonald's
or whatever fast food and on the way home you
eat all your fries and nuggets before you can get
to the good stuff. Well you have to that's a
regular day.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
Yeah, it's time.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
Well it's like double that you're getting that. I honestly
think a lot of people could get this done by themselves.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
Do you know what I ate for dinner the other night, Jeff,
I had six eggs and a pound of bacon.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
I'll tell you right now, a pound of bacon is
not as much bacon.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
As not as much as you think.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
Yeah, you could eat a pound of bacon. And six
eggs is eggs these days in this economy, they're little.
Little eggs are little these days. Six eggs and twenty
twenty four, it was like three eggs in two thousand
and two.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
Did you see what I ate last night? I posted
it on Instagram. It was that giant sandwich. So it
was a giant meatball and sausage sandwich, roughly the size
of a French baguette, So the full French bagette, Italian
sausage sauce on it. So I ate that entire thing.
And then after that I ate two blueberry muffins from
Jordan's Furniture. I can't be stopped.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
You went furniture shopping after eating that sandwich?
Speaker 1 (28:26):
No, no, no, What I did is we went to the enchanted
village at Jordan's Furniture, and on the way out, you
have to buy muffins or they're gonna arrest you.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
I do love a blueberr muffin. Don't get me wrong.
This is not against this is not anti blueberry muffins.
I don't know if I like combining the sausages in
the meatball, so it's two different textures.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
No, no, so I did half sandwich of sausage half
sandwich of meatballs. My mother only had so many meatballs
for me to steal, so I took those, took the sausage,
went home, made my own sauce.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
Don't tell her, Oh you, your mama doesn't make a
nice of sauce.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
I make a beta sauce.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
Really, that is a bold claim. You're saying right now
that Goo makes a better sauce than Mamma Goo.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
I make a better sauce than Mama goo.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
Wow. Would your wife agree?
Speaker 1 (29:13):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (29:14):
Really? Would RAFFI agree?
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Rafi doesn't know the difference.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
Ah See, do you're ever.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
Being a kid now? You're a bad example of this.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
I've never had your sauce, by the way, I've had
your mom.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
So, and I was gonna say when I was a kid,
like I loved my grandmother sauce. I love my mother sauce.
But I used to get excited at school when they
would serve chef boy ar d food because we weren't
allowed to eat it. At home.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
No, I get that. I understand that for sure. It's
it's like when you were a kid trading shit at
lunch that you didn't your parents wouldn't let you have,
so you trade like two things for one thing because
you could not get that at home. Wow, I'd like
to try your sauce sometime soon. It's very good, uh,
for those of you at home that have missed Goo's
origin story. His nickname is derived from a type of sauce.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
The big ragoo.

Goo and I did not get a screening invitation, and
traditionally that's really bad for a movie, and consideringly Manuel
Miranda is not involved. Yeah, I am very nervous for
this movie. Goo.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
As someone who has now sat and through sitting through
what's the past, time sodden. As someone who is now
sodden through Frozen two multiple times, I can tell you
that I have no faith in a Disney sequel at
this point.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
Did you like the original Frozen?
Speaker 1 (31:27):
It's grown on me and I think the music is
I think the music is pretty top tier. When you're
looking at a Disney it is good music.
Speaker 2 (31:35):
I thought it was overrated.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
But I will say this is that if you're looking
at the music of the two Frozen movies, five songs
from the original stand out over anything from the second one.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
I still haven't seen the second one. In the second one,
I was just thinking about Milana again. I can't speak
enough positive things about Moana. Juana has nothing but bangers,
nothing but banger, and I'm worried. I am worried about this.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
Sec You should be an im too.
Speaker 2 (32:03):

Bam Burton.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
Please flip the cassette over to side B to continue
the adventure.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
Now it's not for girls jumping on trampolines
Mac with Black Friday just around the corner, just around No,
we're not doing that again. That's a one time thing.
Don't you dare taint our moment?
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Sih.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
One of the biggest Black Friday toys that happened while
we were kids was the was the murdering for Power
Ranger toys?
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Yeah? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (00:19):
And did you know that this past weekend Hasboro put
up for auction all of their Power Ranger memorabilia. So
I just caught your eye.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Wait, so they had like a warehouse of stuff.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Yes. The auction that concluded this weekend, Hasborough sold off
a trove of Power Rangers costumes, props, and other memorabilia
for the franchisees three decades of history.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
The top selling item was an eighty inch Cosmic Blaster
used in the twenty twenty three Netflix release Power Rangers.
Cosmic Fury sold for just under ninety k.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
How was the top seller? Not any sort of thing
that amy Joe Johnson war.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Another big ticket item was a Transformable Astromegaship Astro Megazord
hero filming miniature that went for just under fifty k.
The top selling costume was the Green Ranger worn by
Jason David Frank, the late Jason David Frank that went
(01:23):
for just under thirty thousand dollars. The Pink Ranger costume
went for twenty two thousand dollars, and steal the Yellow
Ranger costume went for twenty three thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Give me Amy Joe Johnson's panties for forty grand goo.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
You didn't even let me ask the question. I was
gonna say if money was not an issue.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Yeah, pink Pi Rangers suit outfit, yep, I'll.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Give you an extra five dollars if I can smell
it now.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Uh the real answer, yes, was I real answer? One
of my costumes for Eternity is a Green Ranger costume.
So I would love the Green Ranger costume. I wouldn't
fit in it, though, that'd be the issue.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
If we're going costumes, I wouldn't mind Golddar's costume, Rita
Rapunzel's staff Repulsa Rida Rapulsa staff.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
What about zord On's tube.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
That's a good one. Oh, lord Z's staff too, with
the big z on it good staff slash his inside
out body and wouldn't mind getting his inside out.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
This costume would be sweet because you get that visor too.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
So I could just sit here with the stupid visor
on talking to you right now. I think I would
like the miniatures of the Zords that would then eventually
come together to make the Megazord.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
I think I would like to wear Ammy Joe Johnson's panties.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Yeah, I know on my face. Okay, all right, but
this is a family friendly television program, just like The
Power Rangers.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
I'm just making a mockery of this. Gud I are
I enjoy? I would you know what? It would be
a cost effective thing. I know Friar would probably outbid
me on those though, that's the issue. Whatever I bid dollar,
Friar's one dollar more.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
You know what though. The dragon flute, oh.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
That would be sick. I bought a I almost bought
a functional dragon phone.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
I'm thinking of way too many things right now. The
White Ranger Tiger staff, because that could talk to you.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Oh, that thing is sick. I'm trying to figure out
how many times I could say panties in this episode.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Well, lucky for you, we're about to start tearing.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
So one good three yeah, John three, King of Queen.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Meryl Street entertaining, and we are the Mac and Goo Program.
We are here to say we're sorry to make amends
octeerber fell short. But here we are hat in hand
saying please forgive us.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Yeah, I got nothing to add to that. Goo. I'm
I'm I'm happy to be talking about Thanksgiving things go.
Once upon a time, you and I used to, uh,
used to go out every single night prior to Thanksgiving,
as many of us did at one point or another.
I think, how old were you when you realized it
was one year too many that you went out on
the Wednesday night before Thanksgiving?
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Thanks it was two years ago. It was easily two
years ago.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
I remember going out. I went out with you one night.
We went to Miller's over there in Watatown's no longer
there anymore, with your then uh, I don't even know.
She was your frowncy, then your then girlfriend and a friend.
And then I think I went out the next year
to the same place and I was like oh, because
then it was like all my sister's friends that were
in there, and I was like, yeah, I'm too old.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Well, we did a reunion and then went to a
local establishment just two years ago, and that's when I said,
you know what, oh right right, yeah, Thanksgiving Day I
need to be a more functional.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
We did our fifteen year reunion.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Which isn't a real thing, but go ahead.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
We were two of twelve people that showed up.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Yeah, so it was the fifteen year and less than
fifteen showed up.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Yeah. And a little peak behind the curtain here. The
city that we grew up in still kind of tighten it,
and we grew up with Facebook, so everyone still knows
everyone's shit. You know. It's not a I think our
generation will be the start of those like reunions going
away because you just see everyone shit anyways.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Yeah, and then also the people that you don't see
you don't want to see.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Great point, Yeah, great point.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
So you mentioned Towny night Mac. This Thanksgiving, we are
giving you a tiering of all of the events that
happened during Thanksgiving weekends.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
And there's quite a bit. Is it sort of signals like,
I know, winter starts technically before right, I don't even know.
To me, like the start of winter is Thanksgiving week,
you have Thanksgiving, the shopping begins like right around then.
That to me is a quintessential winter. That sort of thing.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
So let's get to the tiering of Thanksgiving weekend events.
Things that you do for the holiday a lot of
from Wednesday night through Sunday, you do a lot on Thanksgiving.
So I will bring this up right now. The tears
at the bottom, the worst possible stuff from the weekend,
le gimblets, the worst part of the turkey.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
We got five tiers here, five tiers. Folks at home,
we got a visual here. Yeah, if you'd like, I'd
like to hop on the YouTube and see it.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Then the second to last is get it out of here,
see you later, throw it in the bin. In the
middle is it's fine. It's fine max opinion on most movies.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
No, fuck you.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Then the second to best is holiday essentials.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Stuff you need, stuff you need. You might not like it,
but it's necessary.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Yeah. And then finally, the best part of Thanksgiving, the
best part of the weekend sides.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Yep, I'll tell you right now, not the turkey.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
It's the sides.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
That's what makes Goo and I similar, that makes us great.
We agree wholeheartedly. The best part about Thanksgiving dinner is
the sides. I don't even need the turkey. I'll have some.
I'll dabble, give me seven sides.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Let's get started with towny night. That is when you
will go out with your old friends from your old
town right right the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, and I will
say that it is get out of here, especially at
our age.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Yeah, I thought you were gonna go a tier below
that I was gonna go this, and we're coming from
different perspectives now it's now going on the other side
of it goo, where me as a single man in
my mid thirties, I almost got to get out there
and go out Wednesday night, you know what I mean.
So I don't love it. It's fine, but I think
it belongs better in this dear, get it out of here.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
I am trying to have my best foot forward for
the weekend and not taint my entire weekend.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
No, that's true too, And for this year, I actually
got to work on Thanksgiving Eve, so I don't have
an option.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Okay, so the next part of Thanksgiving would be, oh,
the next morning going to a high school football game,
taking in the old Pinskin locally, and I think this
is fine.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Oh, I'd go a tier below. Really I did it once,
but it ties into the night before Goo, so maybe
this is something that's going up. I was incredibly hungover.
I hate it every fucking second of it, and it
was like thirty eight degrees. You know, it's cold weather.
I'm hungover. It's not something I'm looking forward to. I
think as we get older, maybe we have children in
(08:36):
the high school, maybe we know kids playing that aren't
our peers. Maybe it goes up, but I'd say get
it out of here. To me, it's very similar to
what I'm sure is coming up at some point our
turkey trot. Oh.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
By the way, we each get two vetos in a stamp.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Okay, two vetos in a stampiness agree.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
I might move that up one because, as you just said,
as you have children. I bring my son to this
now he loves it. Okay, that's fair music. There's do
you wear your helmet?
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Do you wear your letamon jacket?
Speaker 1 (09:05):
My letterman jacket that's a size two XL. I really
thought I was gonna grow into that.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
No, you know, I think it was just the thing.
Everyone did it. And even when you see high school
kids now, their letamon jackets are way too big for them.
I think it's just the style of the letterman jacket.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
All right, let's go to the turkey trot, and I
am putting this in the giblets.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Yeah, I'm not gonna argue with you on that. I'm
never gonna do it, never gonna do it. I don't know,
I don't I don't care. I think it's maybe the
worst thing ever invented actually, so yeah, we'll keep it.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
And don't get me wrong, I would love to wake
up on Thanksgiving morning and like work out or something
like that. Shit, even I'll hop on the StairMaster the
day before, you know, because I'm gonna eat a lot
of food.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
I know, my face don't want to and run. And
then it plays into the Wednesday night thing. Most people
go and drink afterwards, so it's like, why don't you
just drink before and not go?
Speaker 1 (09:54):
All right, I guess we'll now go to the one
o'clock or so, the twelve already football game, the NFL game,
and I would say that this is a holiday essential.
And because the Lions are so good now, that's always
the early game. That might be sides?
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Are they always the early game?
Speaker 1 (10:14):
They're always the early game. Cowboys are the four and
then I know they try and sneak Green Bay in
there as much as possible, but they usually play one
of those two teams.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Yeah, it's it's an essential for sure. The early game
usually sneaks up on you though you're like getting ready
for the day. You might be might have just gotten
to where you're supposed to go, But by the time
you're paying attention to the early game, it's like.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Second third quarter. You can get some late bets in right, right,
You're not gonna get any parlays in there because you're
always way too late for it, unless you're waking up
and doing it. That's not a bad tradition either, waking
up and setting a DK lineup for the day.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
I just set my DK lineup up two hours ago
for Thursday.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
For Thursday, love it. Do some nice ladders on Dak Prescott,
who's not playing this.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Year, Big Cooper Rushkay, I'm not a Big Cooper Rush guy.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
I'm not.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
No, he's feeding ceed lamb though. It's not bad.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
All right, Let's go to Thanksgiving dinner, which is I
don't I think we should change this because no one
has Thanksgiving dinner. For dinner, it's lunch.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Yeah, we eat roughly two pm. It's neither lunch nor dinner.
But we're definitely not eating at like five six o'clock.
The people that do that are fucking psychopaths. I want
to eat. You want to eat early because it enables
two things. Number One, you get to spend more time
with people, more time in the day. Number Two, it
allows for immediate leftovers at five or six o'clock. You
(11:32):
go back in there, you make up a whole different
plate or maybe the same plate, maybe like the same shit.
Maybe you make a sandwich. It's essential to eat early
so that you could have leftovers at like six, five, seven,
whatever sides. Yeah, yeah, it's gotta be.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
And look, I'm not even saying that turkey is great
or whatever meat you're serving with. I just love the sides.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Yeah. And there's like a whole pomp and circumstances to
the thing. Right, Usually wherever you go has a whole lineup,
but you know, you go through, you go, everyone has
the same seat they usually sit in. It's it's a
whole thing. It's a ceremony.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Oh I forgot to put one at the beginning. Let
me jump in right now. That's a rewind the sound effect.
So you don't work in an office, but they might
have done this when you were at school, and that
is either the week before or the Wednesday before Thanksgiving,
they have a turkey dinner.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Oh yeah, yeah, like the last official day before you
go on holiday. Yeah yeah, it's fine.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
It's not.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
No, you're not into it.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
I'm gonna stamp it in giblets. I hate this more
than anything in the world.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
It's like a primer.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Though I understand. I understand why they do it. Not
everyone is lucky enough to go home and have a
turkey dinner. I'm fortunate. We're both fortunate for that. But
I want a turkey dinner twice, maybe three times a year. Yeah,
not twice in a week.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
I I would. My argument would be that I would
like to eat stuffing always, so if there's a good
stuffing involved, it should go up a tier. At the
very least.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
It's one of my biggest pet peeves in life.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Yeah, I get it, I get that. But if so,
if it's primarily based on the turkey and the gravy,
I think you're probably right with this tier. But if
there's some good sides, and there's probably not, it should
go up a tier.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
I've already stamped it, all right.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Oh you stamped it. I stamped it all right. Fuck shit,
it's been stamped.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Let's go to the four to thirty football game. And
this I would say is it's fine. It's usually a
decent game, but it kind of goes with the next
part of your very sleepy at this point because of
the tripta fan of the turkey and you are going
for your after dinner nap. That would be a holiday essential.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Agreed. I'm gonna stamp the four thirty game in sides.
That is the classics, the game everyone's paying attention to.
To your point, it's usually the cowboy game team of America.
And moreover, there's nothing better than like betting the game,
slowly washing the game.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Falling asleep, waking up in fourth quarter.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Yeah, end of the third, beginning of the fourth, and
getting reinvested into the game. It's an absolute staple of
the day.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
I don't know, I'm more of the twelve thirty game.
I'm definitely more into that because you're getting hyped for
the food, you're eating apps, just pounding shrimp. By the
time of the four thirty you've already seen one game,
you're tired from the food, you're eating desserts.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Probably arguing with the weird uncle.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
I mean, yeah, that's most of the day. What else
happens on Thanksgiving, that is on this what the school lunch? Thanksgiving?
He had two of them on there, Billy d they're
both going in giblets.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
School lunch and what was the other one? Like a
work the work one. Yeah, school lunch wasn't bad though,
because you were a kid. He didn't really fucking it.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Once again, I don't.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
You didn't have strong opinion.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Listen to me, child, No, listen to me right now
as a parent, Right now, I don't want my son
eating too with turkey dinners in a day, in two days.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
You don't want them having a little cranberry sauce. That's
usually what it was. It was like shitty turkey and
cranberry sauce. All right, Yeah, you're right. I'm not gonna
argue that you're right.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Don't you dare taint my son do the eight thirty game.
Let's go to the eight thirty game, the eight twenty game.
This is get out of here. I'm so tired.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
I was gonna say it's fine. I was gonna say
it's fine.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Even the games, like when the papers make it through
the game, like the butt Fumble game was an eight
twenty game on Thanksgiving? Yeah, and you had to will
yourself to stay awake for that.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
No, typically it's when you're you might catch the first half.
That's when you're driving home. It's fine, it's there, it exists.
You're not really paying attention to it. But it's another
reason you're.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
A little footballed out by that point too.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Yeah, I agree, I agree.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
I guess we'll do Thanksgiving leftovers next.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
It's a okay, go, it's sides, all right. I was
gonna say holiday essential, No, it sides. I'm not a
huge leftovers guy. After the fact, same day, love it
that night, but then we get a day or two
days later. I'm like, to your point, though, I'm sick
of turkey, and I'm sick of these same things. It's
kind of what the point you were arguing.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
I take everything that's left over, take all that slop,
and just put it into a sandwich.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Yeah, I like that same day, but I would we'll wave.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
The classic Ross Geller moistmaker. I will take that. I
also forgot, so you don't have to deal with it
as much. But you are a child of divorce because
your parents don't.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Love you never were even married.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Actually, oh, so I guess your parents do love you.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Yea out of wedlock.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Lucky for you then, but they didn't abort me.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
What a win.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
For Thanksgiving, you need to plan out your day because
you have several families that you have to go to.
You have in laws, but you don't have the in
laws that you're also trying to plan things up.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
But isn't the staple, right, So you do one Thanksgiving
one Christmas Eve.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Now we're just doing split day both days. Yeah, creates
a very long day.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Yeah, that's a lot.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
So I would say this is get out of here.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
I'm okay with that. I'm okay with that. But I
will say so the tradition that my local family has,
and it is quite we're from all over the place,
Like I have cousins that aren't really my cousins, but
we call my cousins and uncles and that whole thing
because you're rednecks. Right, Yeah, there you go. I am
wearing my Hampton Beach shirt. It's one of those things.
So we all go because it's such a large family,
(17:31):
large Irish Catholic family. There's like four or five six
sights and then we all meet up at this one
person's house and we do like a nightcap. We do
some drinks, whatever food's left over, and I really enjoy that.
All the adults show up and all the kids go away.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
It's like the Vince von Reese Witherspoon holiday classic four Christmases.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Yeah, except you know a different holiday.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Let's go to Black Friday, and it's not what it
used to be Black Friday. It used to be doors
at midnight or you get them at five am. You
go to the stores, and there were amazing deals for
a very short window of time. Black Friday started this
year on Sunday. I would say, kind of bullshit.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
And I'm sure you would echo this. We are very
lucky that we did not grow up as parents when
Black Friday was a thing, because parents would be running
out at midnight on Thanksgiving to go get shit for
the stupid ass kids.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
I will say, this is that so even now with
the bad savings, the savings are just there for the week.
I still wake up in door bust on Black Friday.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
Just because you like doing it, though not for a
good reason.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
I do like doing it.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Well.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
My favorite thing is I set a budget for Christmas.
I set a budget for what I'm gonna spend on people,
It's kind of like being a GM in baseball and
you are like, there's a bit of flexibility to what
the budget is. You go over, you're gonna get taxed.
But finding and being like I just save twenty five
(19:02):
on this, I can now get this too, and just
building up the best roster of gifts. I'm all about it.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
You know what My tradition is, what's that Black Friday
and or the next one coming up is I'll buy
something for myself. Yes, And then when I go and
buy gifts, it's like three days before Christmas.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
I used to. And we grew up in a time
when you know, DVD's were cool but no, but DVDs
were cool.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Black Friday DVD sales were the best.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
You got me the unrated version of Corky Romano.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Why those three dollars a target? What do you want?
I used all my goodie bucks on it.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
I mean Best Buy did have the best little bin
of five dollars DVD's. You could swim through that thing
and find something.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Yeah, And you would get home and your parents would say, oh,
what'd you buy? And you're like, oh, I bought the
movie Arthur, the one with Russell Brand why'd you buy that?
It was four dollars?
Speaker 2 (19:57):
Have you seen it?
Speaker 3 (19:57):
No?
Speaker 2 (19:58):
But people say it's fine.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
People say it's not as good as the original. So
Black Friday is get out of here. I think it's
close to Giblets because they've ruined it.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
So here's the question. Bring it up. Now. Are you
saying Cyber Monday greater than Black Friday? Oh?
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Easily. Cyber Monday you get sweet deals.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
I like Black Friday more than I like Cyber Monday.
I'm over it by Cyber Monday.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Cyber Monday you actually do get amazing deals.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
Like Cyber Monday is my whole year. I'm looking at
shit all the time online.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
You know so, aren't I? But you get the deal.
The deals are there, the deal of the day.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
I don't think it's a tier above Black Friday to me.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
I'll put it with it.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
But okay, all right, all right.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
Look, they could both be better, agreed, but they're not.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
I mean, it is sort of stunning that there isn't
a place, a store that is running a real doorbuster, like, hey,
get in here and you get this, but you're also
gonna buy this first.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
Walmart might be. I think Target got busted last year
for doing fake door busters.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
You know what's fucked. Yes, the closest Walmart to us
is like fucking framing it framing ever. Yeah, it's not great.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
It's not great, But.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
In Boston city limits, Walmart's not very good. I mean
it is Walmart.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
It's a good point. You also have small Business Saturday.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
I didn't even know this existed until two days ago
and he told me about this bullshit.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
But this goes with the other one that has left,
and that is putting up Christmas decorations and all related
May I explain me finish? So tradition, every single year
I have done this. How old am I thirty five? Yeah,
I've done this for thirty five years, thirty six years
of We always decorate my mother's house the Saturday after Thanksgiving.
(21:54):
We've always done it, always put the tree up, do
everything there. So what usually happens is we have broken lights,
maybe the tree is busted, we need more stuff, and
we always end up going to Target five times on
that Saturday, which is the opposite of small Business Saturday.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
So my perspective on this, GUP. I always like the
idea of supporting small businesses, and I actually really do
when I can local bakery, local coffee shop, whatever.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
You didn't even know about their holiday.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
I know that's what I'm saying off of your soap. No,
this is a holiday made for people that don't typically
support small businesses. It's for the frauds. Oh you are
are the frauds. For the frauds.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Why did you get me a Valentine's gift? I celebrate
you look at Valentine's every day.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
This is giblets, Kimmy Gibbler, it's giblets. Yeah, this is
out out on this like this, This is a thing
that should be done year round, no doubt in my mind.
It's dumb and not for nothing to smush it between
Black Friday and Monday. You know what, this might be
the time of year I least care about small businesses.
I'm trying to get the fucking shopping done.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
And I would say that decorating for Christmas is holiday essentials.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Yeah, it's not for me. I'm just not a decorator
in general. To me to pain in the ass, I
don't like putting something up that I gotta take down
again in one month, So I'm out on that in general.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
Well then why don't you just do what I do
and put it up two months early.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
I just don't put it up at all.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Also, I I'm not a monster. I put my outdoor
stuff out the weekend of Thanksgiving.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
The last time I had a real tree in my
apartment was maybe seven years ago, and I will never
ever have a real tree in one of my domains
ever again.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Ever, do you like our tears?
Speaker 2 (23:45):
I mean we should have had more. It's fines.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
Well, you can start moving some stuff. You have some vetos.
What do you want to move?
Speaker 2 (23:51):
All right? Move Black Friday up to It's fine.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
Okay Black Friday. Although Black Friday used to be a
holiday essential.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
I agree. That's why Boston was the best. That's why
I think it fits better right in the middle there.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Okay, what else are you seeing?
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Now? Can you use one of yours?
Speaker 1 (24:05):
No, I'm I'm really really. I mean maybe the checklist
might go down one to try and figure out your
schedule for the holidays. That sucks, But get out of
here is pretty good because you gotta figure it out.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
Yeah, we should almost. We almost should have just made
the bottom tier called turkey trot, right, That would have
made more sense.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
Turkey trot and too many turkey dinners.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
I'm gonna use my turkey, my last one and move
Turkey Trot down below the bottom tier.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
So you want it off the board.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
I think there's a thing to be said about turkey
trot folks, right like, if your turkey trot family turn
this podcast off, I don't want your your ears leave,
leave the planet, don't bring your don't bring your fucking
five k agenda into my fucking not my America, turkey
trot people.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
So guys head over to tiermaker dot com. I will
put this tier in our bio once again. Thank you
to the other Billy d for making it. And let
us know about your Thanksgiving tradition weekends or your Thanksgiving weekends.
How do you tear? What is going on? Let's get
(25:13):
into mac sach Matthew. You see this? Do you hear
about this? By the way, your sack could be anything,
It could be a boat. But posted by at j
wep on x he said you have one hour to
eat this for one hundred thousand dollars. Who are you
calling for help? And what he posted was a photo
(25:36):
of four large SODA's twenty McNuggets, two large French fries,
and four double quarter pounders with cheese from McDonald's. I
ask you, who would you call for help?
Speaker 2 (25:50):
Yeah? I did see this, and my instant reaction was,
I'm pretty sure I could do this by myself. I'm
almost positive.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
So my second question was how long do you need?
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Out and getting the twenty nugs down, two fries, sodas,
and two qpcs double qpcs. This four, probably gonna get
the third one down, might have trouble with it. I'm
gonna need help on the final double QPC, I think,
so are you a double QPC guy? Are you into
that type of shit?
Speaker 1 (26:18):
It doesn't matter. I'll eat anything with a fucking.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Garbage, so I'll call you in. I think I could
do it myself in an hour roughly, but I would
struggle with that last sandwich. That's that would be the
thing I would definitely need help on, and maybe half
of the third sandwich.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
As someone who eats food way too quickly and I'm
a bottomless pit, I could do this in under thirty minutes.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
Well so to that point, I've done a couple eating contests.
Your window really is the first thirty minutes, because after
that everything sets in, especially including the liquid, and then
you're just so full you can't you can't eat. So Really,
when people when things giving an hour to do shit,
you kind of got to do it in thirty minutes.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
As as a small boy growing up in a household
with a very large bru that I had a very
small window to get my food in before it was gone,
and that lives with me.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
Nothing was better than claiming the extra bag fries, the
fries that had fallen out of the thing.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
You know, I did, Like someone made a joke on
here that the person I would call is my father
to let him know that I won one hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
Coolest and who wants to be a millionaire moment of
all time? It was fucking phenomenal. I think about it too.
How many times in your heyday would you get McDonald's
or whatever fast food and on the way home you
eat all your fries and nuggets before you can get
to the good stuff. Well you have to that's a
regular day.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
Yeah, it's time.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
Well it's like double that you're getting that. I honestly
think a lot of people could get this done by themselves.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
Do you know what I ate for dinner the other night, Jeff,
I had six eggs and a pound of bacon.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
I'll tell you right now, a pound of bacon is
not as much bacon.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
As not as much as you think.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
Yeah, you could eat a pound of bacon. And six
eggs is eggs these days in this economy, they're little.
Little eggs are little these days. Six eggs and twenty
twenty four, it was like three eggs in two thousand
and two.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
Did you see what I ate last night? I posted
it on Instagram. It was that giant sandwich. So it
was a giant meatball and sausage sandwich, roughly the size
of a French baguette, So the full French bagette, Italian
sausage sauce on it. So I ate that entire thing.
And then after that I ate two blueberry muffins from
Jordan's Furniture. I can't be stopped.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
You went furniture shopping after eating that sandwich?
Speaker 1 (28:26):
No, no, no, What I did is we went to the enchanted
village at Jordan's Furniture, and on the way out, you
have to buy muffins or they're gonna arrest you.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
I do love a blueberr muffin. Don't get me wrong.
This is not against this is not anti blueberry muffins.
I don't know if I like combining the sausages in
the meatball, so it's two different textures.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
No, no, so I did half sandwich of sausage half
sandwich of meatballs. My mother only had so many meatballs
for me to steal, so I took those, took the sausage,
went home, made my own sauce.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
Don't tell her, Oh you, your mama doesn't make a
nice of sauce.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
I make a beta sauce.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
Really, that is a bold claim. You're saying right now
that Goo makes a better sauce than Mamma Goo.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
I make a better sauce than Mama goo.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
Wow. Would your wife agree?
Speaker 1 (29:13):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (29:14):
Really? Would RAFFI agree?
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Rafi doesn't know the difference.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
Ah See, do you're ever.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
Being a kid now? You're a bad example of this.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
I've never had your sauce, by the way, I've had
your mom.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
So, and I was gonna say when I was a kid,
like I loved my grandmother sauce. I love my mother sauce.
But I used to get excited at school when they
would serve chef boy ar d food because we weren't
allowed to eat it. At home.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
No, I get that. I understand that for sure. It's
it's like when you were a kid trading shit at
lunch that you didn't your parents wouldn't let you have,
so you trade like two things for one thing because
you could not get that at home. Wow, I'd like
to try your sauce sometime soon. It's very good, uh,
for those of you at home that have missed Goo's
origin story. His nickname is derived from a type of sauce.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
The big ragoo.

Goo and I did not get a screening invitation, and
traditionally that's really bad for a movie, and consideringly Manuel

this movie. Goo.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
As someone who has now sat and through sitting through
what's the past, time sodden. As someone who is now
sodden through Frozen two multiple times, I can tell you
that I have no faith in a Disney sequel at
this point.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
Did you like the original Frozen?
Speaker 1 (31:27):
It's grown on me and I think the music is
I think the music is pretty top tier. When you're
looking at a Disney it is good music.
Speaker 2 (31:35):
I thought it was overrated.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
But I will say this is that if you're looking
at the music of the two Frozen movies, five songs
from the original stand out over anything from the second one.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
I still haven't seen the second one. In the second one,
I was just thinking about Milana again. I can't speak
