Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Now that Thanksgiving is over, it's officially the Christmas season? Yeah,

(00:05):
but how is your Thanksgiving? Was it peaceful and full
of overeating, over drinking and wondering just how far down
the family tree your hot cousin is?

Speaker 2 (00:13):
Wow? I know it.

Speaker 1 (00:14):
Would it be okay? Or was it like one family
who's making national headlines today because of how ridiculous their Thanksgiving?

Speaker 3 (00:23):
God?

Speaker 1 (00:23):
Also, if you've got an argument over Thanksgiving, calls up
eighty eight three four three one oh six one eight

the story right after this. It's the Jubil Show. How
does one holiday meal end in a power outage and
a swat stand off? Was the Juble Show? You'll hear
that in just a second. But Thanksgiving is over and

(00:45):
you're probably still eating turkey sandwiches and wondering when green
bean castrole is officially spoiled. It is officially Christmas season,
but we still are getting back to work after Thanksgiving
and haven't heard about your Thanksgiving?

Speaker 2 (00:57):
Was it peaceful?

Speaker 1 (00:59):
Or did it end up making national news like one family?
Call us up eight eight eight three four three one
oh six one eight eight eight three four three one
O six one. You can also text us at four
one O six one. But in case you missed this story,
it's out of Dayton, Ohio. What started as a peaceful
Thanksgiving dinner quickly turned into stuff of legend when an
argument over can versus fresh cranberry sauce escalated into a

(01:22):
full blown food fight, a turkey launch from a ceiling fan,
and eventually a citywide power outage and a brief swat
stand a movie. One family in Dayton, Ohio said the
trouble began when their uncle, a diehard fan of canned
jelly version cranberry sauce, mocked Aunt Trina's artisanal orange zested

(01:46):
cranberry chutney.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
Oh that's und solicious.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
It sounds pretty good, right, But apparently uncle Gary is
his name, was not a fan, and he shouted at her.
If it don't make a slurping noise on the way
out of the can, it can't be cranedy your sauce.
Text Us four one six one calls up eight at
eight three four three one O six one. Did you

(02:09):
have any awkward arguments over Thanksgiving dinner like this? One?
And then because he mocked our cranberry sauce, and Trina
allegedly responded by flinging a deviled egg at his head,
and that sparked a twelve person mashed potato fight naturally
on Thanksgiving. Thanks kind of fun.

Speaker 2 (02:28):
You're gonna do that, It's got to be the mashed potatoes.

Speaker 1 (02:31):
Yeah, talking about a story that's gone viral over one
family's Thanksgiving in Dayton, Ohio, turning into just chaos somebody actually.
At one point, one of the cousins attempted to break
up the fight by turning on the ceiling fan to
cool people down. Oh except he forgot that he had
placed a twenty two pound turkey on top of it

(02:53):
for a TikTok stunt.

Speaker 2 (02:55):
Oh no.

Speaker 1 (02:58):
The bird then flew off and hit the grandma's recliner
and then launched over her head and cracked their flat
screen TV. This is all people fighting with mashed potatoes.
This dude turns on a ceiling fan to cool people
down but forgot that he left a turkey on top
of it because he was trying to film a TikTok.

Speaker 2 (03:17):
That's a bigger issue, of course. Now the TikTok is
room because the turkey's gone.

Speaker 1 (03:22):
Apparently things kind of calmed down, but this new story
says that they tried to deep fry a backup turkey
in the garage because of the turkey that they were
going to cook got flung into the TV as a
ceiling fan, but they forgot to use oil and it
caused a fireball that knocked out power to three surrounding blocks.

(03:43):
One of their neighbors said, we thought it was a
meat here.

Speaker 2 (03:46):
They just stuck it in there with nothing else.

Speaker 1 (03:48):
I guess, yeah, do that.

Speaker 2 (03:50):
You can't be wet at all. We fried turkeys at
my house, but if it's wet at all, it's going
to cause some kind of big combustion thing. Wait seriously, yeah,
he likes that would be me.

Speaker 3 (03:59):
Also, I be this neighbor knocking down blocks.

Speaker 2 (04:05):
No.

Speaker 1 (04:06):
Apparently police responded to reports of screaming, smoke and somebody
yelling you can't call that a cast role.

Speaker 2 (04:16):
This all started with cranberry saws, Oh uncle Gary, look
what you.

Speaker 1 (04:19):
Did, and eventually spilled outside with two of the uncles
basically sword fighting with a drumstick. Yeah, front yard, that's amazing.

Speaker 3 (04:30):
That's the kind of Thanksgiving I want to have it.

Speaker 1 (04:33):
Sounds like a fun Thanksgiving. You know, most of my
thanksgivings have been pretty tame compared to that.

Speaker 3 (04:37):
For real, I feel like, I don't know, mind, have
never been crazy. But my grandma on my dad's side
sometimes does say a few things. She's very religious and
knows she likes things the way she likes them, and
if something does not go the way she likes, she'll
make a comment and she does not mind upsetting anyone
out to the table. But my cousin also did the
TikTok thing this year where she made everyone be quiet,

(04:59):
like there's like foot ball on TV. There's drinks going around,
and she yelled out. She said, like, everyone be quiet,
I'm making a TikTok, Like are you serious?

Speaker 1 (05:08):
That happens now? Somebody texted in a four one to
six woman and said it their fiance told her her
parents that they're in a polli relationship with a longtime
third partner and the parents had no idea. Oh my god,
that's an awkward thing to bring up over the thanks
cheering table.

Speaker 2 (05:23):
Sorry, mom, I was just having this conversation with my
mom what not about me being your problem?

Speaker 1 (05:29):
But because.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
Because it always turns into like you know, when you
find someone and when your family's with us and all
this kind of stuff. And I was like, do you
know what we're dealing with out here? Now? You got
to worry about if you want to be Poulie, if
you want to be open, if you want to be
with somebody, and all this other stuff. And so I
had to explain to my mother what Polly was. So
I had that same kind of conversation.

Speaker 1 (05:51):
Like I don't want second, I want third. Hey, Oh,
somebody else texted in at four one, six one and
said their family invited a nephew that has a history
of hitting, aggressive behavior like a little kid, and he
ended up fighting one of the uncles. Oh, family's great right.

Speaker 2 (06:08):
Gotta love him
