And I assure you that as theelementary certified like social

So shout out to all my Kiwis out there.
Thanks for listening.
Caitlin K (02:37):
Yeah, it's really awesome of you.
And it to me it makes a littlebit more sense, because it is an
English-speaking country, likethat they would that there would
be somebody there listening.
Yeah, because I don'tunderstand how I mean I don't
know what language aside fromPolish is Polish the dominant
language in Poland?
Yeah, but I'd guess so.
Jenny GK (02:56):
Alright, so I have some Thanksgiving trivia
questions.
Okay.
And I have blocked out theanswers.
So you can cheat if you wantto, but don't.
I won't cheat.
The first question I have foryou was or is how long was the
(03:22):
first Thanksgiving?
Caitlin K (03:25):
I know how long they usually are at my house, which
is several hours.
I'm gonna I'm gonna guess morethan that because it was like
harvesting and stuff.
Jenny GK (03:35):
It was three days long.
Caitlin K (03:37):
Oh, who knows?
Jenny GK (03:38):
When did it happen?
What year, do you know?
Caitlin K (03:40):
I don't 16.
You know what I have in my headright now?
Um, so in the Disney moviePocahontas, in which Pocahontas
is portrayed not historicallyaccurately, there's that song in
the beginning where they'relike, in 1607, and I know it's
like around that time.
They sailed the ocean seas.
That song.
Jenny GK (04:02):
Something, something twenty one.
Caitlin K (04:04):
Yeah, it's around that time.
Virginia company That's sogreat.
Oh, 1621.
Okay, so I wasn't too far off.
Jenny GK (04:13):
Yeah, no, not too far off at all.
All right, okay.
Um, who were the native peoplesuh with whom the pilgrims
celebrated things?
Caitlin K (04:22):
I do know this one, um, but I'm gonna say it wrong.
The wampanag or wampanag.
Is that right?
Jenny GK (04:28):
I think that's how you say it.
Yeah.
Caitlin K (04:29):
Oh.
Jenny GK (04:30):
Oh, yeah.
I do know that one.
Okay, this one's a gimme.
What type of nut is in pecanpie?
I believe they're pronouncedpecans.
Pecans.
So I put this in there becauseone of the trivia question lists
I looked up actually had thison there.
Caitlin K (04:51):
Well, that's like that question.
Oh, I always used to show this.
Jenny GK (04:54):
Who's married or who's buried in Grant's tomb?
Like it's pecan pie, guys.
Walnuts.
Caitlin K (05:04):
Right yeah.
Uh almonds, obviously.
Um, there's that, there's amath video, uh, and I don't
really like the video for whatit is now looking back on it,
but I used to show it to mysixth graders all the time.
And it's if I'm driving 80miles an hour, how long will it
take me to travel 80 miles?
And the the it's a husbandasking his wife, and she's
(05:25):
calculating it.
Like she's like, Well, thetimers rotate.
Uh there's like a hundredrotations in a mile, and he's
like, Yeah, a hundred rotations.
Like, what?
What?
And then she's like, Well, andI can run like a seven and a
half, and he's like, Yeah, okay.
And then you like see her likefake running, and she's like, So
(05:46):
it's gotta be like, you know,like 58 minutes, and he's like,
pretty close, pretty close.
She goes on for like it's likea solid three or four minute
video, and he just sits therecackling at her while she's
trying to think.
Well, some people in our nationdon't have maps, yeah.
That one.
(06:07):
Yeah.
Jenny GK (06:10):
All right.
How many women were at thefirst Thanksgiving?
Caitlin K (06:13):
Oh my gosh.
Well, they had to do all thecooking and cleaning, so there
had to be at least a few, ahandful, like ten.
Jenny GK (06:21):
It was five.
Five.
Ew.
Now, the reason there were sofew is not because they were all
in the kitchen, but becausemany of them had died after
coming over on the Mayflower.
Caitlin K (06:35):
Okay.
Well.
Alright.
Jenny GK (06:39):
So there were just fewer women in general.
Caitlin K (06:42):
Well, and they didn't bring that many to begin with,
right?
Right.
Because it was mostly likesingle dudes who they were
bringing.
Jenny GK (06:48):
Alright, so.
Which president received a liveraccoon as a Thanksgiving
present?
Caitlin K (06:57):
Oh.
Uh, Teddy Roosevelt.
Jenny GK (07:02):
Uh, that would make sense.
It was actually CalvinCoolidge.
Oh.
This guy, Vinny Joyce fromMississippi, sent him a live
raccoon that he was supposed toeat for Thanksgiving night.
Caitlin K (07:16):
No, no, no, no.
No.
Mm-mm.
First of all, we don't eattrash pandas because they're too
precious.
Second of all, we don't eattrash pandas because they're
rabid.
Like what are we eating?
Can you imagine being sent alive raccoon?
Right.
Like that thing would haveclawed the inside of whatever
you had that in.
Jenny GK (07:38):
Like a recipe book.
Caitlin K (07:41):
And a blade to skin it.
Jenny GK (07:43):
President Coolidge liked the raccoon and named her
Rebecca.
Caitlin K (07:47):
Yay! Okay, so there's a happy ending.
Okay, there's a happy ending.
Jenny GK (07:51):
He pardoned her.
Caitlin K (07:52):
What a weird name for a raccoon, Rebecca.
Oh well, I guess Rebecca theRecco.
Jenny GK (07:56):
Okay, fine.
Caitlin K (07:57):
He pardoned her.
How cute.
Jenny GK (07:59):
He pardoned her.
So I want to know who was thefirst president to pardon a
turkey on Thanksgiving.
Caitlin K (08:08):
Ooh.
I feel like this tradition isprobably pretty old, but I every
time I have a hunch like that,it's wrong.
So I'm gonna guess.
I don't know.
Eisenhower?
Jenny GK (08:27):
It was JFK.
Oh.
And then it didn't happen againfor a while.
You said this tradition ispretty old.
Yeah.
The person who started it as ayearly tradition was H.W.
Bush.
Oh.
And if I'm not wrong, uh he waspresident after you were born.
(08:52):
Yes.
Mm-hmm.
Sure was.
So I would say the traditionisn't the only thing that we
feel like might be, quote,pretty old.
Caitlin K (09:08):
I told you, this is not my expertise.
I do not know any of this.
This is I knew one answer.
Jenny GK (09:16):
Alright.
Speaking of turkeys, how manyturkeys are prepared for
Thanksgiving dinner in Americaeach year?
Caitlin K (09:23):
Ooh.
Jenny GK (09:26):
I don't know.
Like there's 330 millionAmericans, if that helps you.
And remember that a lot of themare sharing a turkey.
Caitlin K (09:36):
Okay, so somewhere.
Jenny GK (09:38):
And there's a hundred rotations when you go a mile.
Caitlin K (09:41):
10 and 25%.
And I can run a seven and ahalf minute rotation.
Right.
So between like 10, no, betweenlike, yeah, between 10 and 15%,
maybe 20%, if we're sharingturkeys.
I don't know, like thirty,thirty-five million.
Forty-six million turkeys.
(10:03):
Hey, that wasn't terrible, allthings considered.
Jenny GK (10:06):
No, you were closest without going over.
You're not playing againstanyone, but if you That's okay.
No, shh.
You would go home with theshowcase showdown.
Caitlin K (10:15):
4,501.
Like Drew.
Right, yeah, right.
Jenny GK (10:20):
All right.
How many pumpkin pies areconsumed each year at Think
Speaker?
Caitlin K (10:25):
Okay, I gotta double it because if I said 35 million,
because there are people wholike pie is a big deal, although
there's different kinds ofpies.
So I'm gonna say.
Jenny GK (10:37):
I will tell you it is not one-to-one turkey to pumpkin
pie.
Caitlin K (10:40):
No, it's more.
It's gotta be more pies.
Because turkeys are bigger, andyeah, and people want pie.
Uh let's go 50.
50 million.
50 million is correct.
Ding ding ding! Really?
Jenny GK (10:54):
Yes.
Oh my gosh! Um, you're at twoso far.
Great job.
Caitlin K (10:59):
The number ones are the hardest.
I so I the other day I tweetedabout or I didn't tweet, because
I don't tweet that muchanymore, but I um threaded
threads, threaded, whatever,about how um apparently I am now
the person who not only watchesFamily Feud in the evenings,
(11:21):
but also gets angry when theanswers that the people give
don't are not the right ones,right?
Like don't make sense at all.
Right.
Where I'm like, why did youchoose that?
The answer is obviously head!Like what?
You know what I mean?
I completely lose my mind.
And I've I've decided that whenthey do fast money at the end,
(11:41):
which I just learned the name ofbecause even though I've been
watching it, I didn't know itwas called Fast Money.
Um, the number ones are thehardest.
So if I'm getting a number oneright, like the number
questions, then I feel like I'mdoing okay.
So I got one number one right.
Okay, cool.
Jenny GK (11:56):
All right, give me another one.
Feather in your cap.
What percent of Americans skipturkey on Thanksgiving?
Percentage?
What percent of America?
Caitlin K (12:09):
I mean, not I don't know.
20%?
Uh 12%.
Really?
They skip turkey.
Okay.
So this is turkey, 12%.
I'm okay.
I'm just wondering if thatincludes people who also like
don't celebrate it at all, orthis is just the celebrators.
Jenny GK (12:32):
I think this is if you are attending a Thanksgiving
event and not eating the turkey.
Caitlin K (12:38):
Oh.
Oh, okay.
All right.
Yeah, mostly.
Jenny GK (12:41):
So if we were to say that Chandler was the only
friend who didn't eatThanksgiving foods, that would
be one out of six, which is 16%.
Caitlin K (12:50):
Oh.
Jenny GK (12:51):
So they were close to average.
Caitlin K (12:54):
Yeah, they were.
That's also they probably are,you know, uh, those are all
probably kids, right?
Who you spend all day makingall the food and all they want
is what is a roll.
Yep, there it is.
Jenny GK (13:04):
Yep.
That's probably it.
Okay.
In 2022, how much did theaverage Thanksgiving dinner cost
per person?
Oh my gosh.
Caitlin K (13:19):
Everything is so expensive.
Um I was shocked by this one.
We are looking for sponsors.
If anyone would like to sponsorus, this is coming out of our
pocket.
So that helps out.
Um I don't um it's 75 bucks.
Jenny GK (13:38):
64.
$64.5.
Caitlin K (13:42):
Yuck.
Jenny GK (13:44):
Ewah.
It's a lot.
It's so much money.
But it's not as much as thenext question I'm gonna ask you.
Caitlin K (13:51):
Uh-oh.
Jenny GK (13:52):
What is the average number of calories consumed by a
person at Thanksgiving?
Caitlin K (13:57):
It's gotta be like twice the daily amount that
you're like recommended.
It's like 4,000.
It's gotta be.
Jenny GK (14:03):
It's 4,500, Caitlin.
It's 4,500.
Oh my gosh.
That's so many.
That's the average.
That's the average.
There's somebody out thereeating 10,000 calories.
Caitlin K (14:16):
In one day.
And it's not Michael Fowler.
Alright, I was gonna say, andit's not an Olympic swimmer.
Oh gosh.
That's so much.
See, like, I always feel likemy eyes are bigger than my
stomach on Thanksgiving, whichis probably a good thing.
But oh man, I just I I make itup in pie the next day.
I love that.
Oh, sure.
Jenny GK (14:36):
And um, I did see one statistic that 80% of Americans
prefer Thanksgiving leftovers toThanksgiving dinner.
Caitlin K (14:45):
I see, I don't really go for the leftover like meal
part, but I love the leftoverdesserts.
Like I feel like after it's allkind of settled in and yeah, I
love it.
Jenny GK (14:57):
Okay, so.
This one relates to the amountof food being eaten a little
bit.
Black Friday is the biggest dayof the year for what trade
profession?
Caitlin K (15:13):
It has to be plumbers.
It has to be.
Plumbers! Because I'm thinkingabout, okay, I'm when I was a
kid, I remember this.
Our garbage disposal broke onThanksgiving.
Every year after Thanksgiving.
Yeah, every so, but like that'sjust the day.
So then, but if everyone's ifyou're talking about eating,
it's gotta be the day after,which is gotta be.
Jenny GK (15:31):
Well, and the thing is, like, when your disposal
breaks on Thanksgiving, youtough it out, right?
You're like, okay, it's notguest wedding, it just won't go
anymore.
Exactly.
We'll we'll scrape.
We'll call tomorrow.
Yep.
So my guess is a lot of peoplecall tomorrow.
Caitlin K (15:47):
Oh, please, for the love of all that is holy, do not
put oil or like liquid butteror regular butter down your
garbage disposal.
Like, don't just liquid fatdoesn't go down the disposal.
No, put it in a put it, putline a bowl with some foil and
then pour it into the foil andthen freeze it and throw it
(16:09):
away.
And take it.
Jenny GK (16:11):
I do the same thing when I'm cooking on a cookie
sheet.
I line it with foil and then Ijust let it sit out and it
congeals, and then I can justroll up the foil.
Caitlin K (16:19):
Mm-hmm.
Just don't don't gross.
Or bones.
Don't put bones down thedraining it.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
People do.
It's gross.
Okay.
Jenny GK (16:31):
I'm like thinking of human bones.
I know that's not what youmeant, but still, like I'm
hearing someone like putting iton the body.
Caitlin K (16:36):
There's a whole story about that.
There's a whole story about aguy in England, I think, who was
putting body parts down, thedrain, and people were having
plumbing problems.
And that's how they figured outthat he had done.
Go find my favorite murder, golisten to that.
Yeah, there you go.
Yeah.
All right.
Jenny GK (16:55):
I'm introducing you to a figure from American history
named Sarah Josephina Hale.
Caitlin K (17:03):
Okay.
Jenny GK (17:04):
And she really campaigned for Thanksgiving to
become a national holiday.
Every year since GeorgeWashington, the president has
declared a national day ofThanksgiving.
The only president who didn'tdo it was Thomas Jefferson
because he very vehementlybelieved that in separation of
church and state, and he feltthat Thanksgiving was a
religious holiday in nature anddid not want to make it a
(17:27):
national holiday.
It was not officially anational holiday until the 1860s
when it became marked as a dayevery year.
We didn't have to wait for thepresident to be like, will he or
won't he?
So Sarah Josephina Hale was thewoman behind this big campaign.
(17:53):
She also wrote a very famoussong.
What is that song?
Okay.
Caitlin K (18:04):
Like what's the song?
It is a song that's not evenclassical.
Is it like a song, an adultsong, like a patriotic song?
Jenny GK (18:13):
And it is not patriotic in nature.
But you are on the right track.
Caitlin K (18:19):
It's not it's not twinkle, twinkle, little star
because somebody else wrotethat.
Jenny GK (18:24):
Or should I say you're in the right meadow?
Caitlin K (18:27):
Oh wow.
Sheep farm.
Um, um, is it Mary had a littlelamb?
Yes.
Yay! I'm jumping.
Sheep.
Oh my god.
Why did I go from meadow tosheep to farm and then back to
Mary had a little lamb?
Oh it doesn't matter.
Jenny GK (18:49):
You're gonna hurry.
Wait, okay.
So here's the deal.
She wrote Mary Had a LittleLamb.
She did a lot of other things.
She was a magazine um editorand she was a staunch supporter
of um gender roles in the home.
Oh.
In fact, she was um against thewomen's suffrage movement
because she felt that women whogot involved in politics
(19:11):
wouldn't be available at home.
So I don't necessarily agree toeverything that she says.
Yes.
But she did use her power as uheditor for good, and she pushed
and pushed and pushed forThanksgiving to become a day.
She wrote a letter to PresidentLincoln, and it is often
praised as the reason that hedeclared a national day of
(19:34):
Thanksgiving to happen everyyear.
Caitlin K (19:35):
So now I'm thinking if she's like so into
traditional gender roles, well,did she just like want a day
where she would just be cookingthe entire day?
Jenny GK (19:47):
Like, I know how to be like, I am gonna declare
Thanksgiving.
And the women are not gonnacook.
Right.
Because the other 364 days ayear, I want them to.
Caitlin K (19:58):
Right.
Like, oh, that's my thanks.
Is I'm not cooking and I'm notcleaning.
Like, what?
Why?
Oh.
And I'm fully aware for ourmale identifying listeners that
yes, there are plenty of men whodo the cooking on Thanksgiving.
My dad is one of them.
Yeah, my husband.
He sews the turkey shut.
(20:20):
Ew.
My husband is one of them.
Like, I get it.
I mean, I don't and I only makedessert.
I'm not good at making anythingelse.
So that's all I do.
But I traditionally, there arelots of women who are dealing
with being the person.
So kind of blame this.
What's her name?
Sarah Jessica Parker.
What?
Sarah Jessica.
(20:40):
Sarah Josephina Hale.
Oh, same.
No, not the same.
But still, I had the idea.
Well, thank you forThanksgiving.
Also, there's probably somewomen who are mad at you.
P.S.
Also, Mary's damn it's a littlebit of an obnoxious song, just
putting that out there.
But it did stand the test oftime.
Jenny GK (20:57):
It did.
Yeah.
Alright, fine.
All right.
What city has the oldestThanksgiving Day parade?
It's not New York.
No, that would be obvious.
I wouldn't ask if it was NewYork.
Philadelphia?
It is Philadelphia.
Caitlin K (21:09):
It's one of the older cities.
Jenny GK (21:10):
Ah, that was good thinking.
That was good thinking.
Philly's Parade started in1920.
The Macy's Day Parade in NewYork started in 24, and in 1928,
they added balloons to theMacy's Parade.
Caitlin K (21:23):
Did you see the Bluey balloon last year?
Yes.
I loved the Bluey balloon, andit was so cute how they were
promoting her being there.
Jenny GK (21:30):
I love when there's a new balloon.
Like they always do such a goodjob with it.
Caitlin K (21:34):
I cry every year when that stupid parade starts.
Every single year.
I don't know why.
Jenny GK (21:40):
I think I've told you this before, but when I was
growing up, we had a rule aboutthe Thanksgiving Day parade.
The turkey had to be in theoven before the Roquettes came
on.
And so they would say, like,coming up after the break, the
Roquettes.
And my dad's like franticallytrying to fill the turkey shut.
Get it into the oven.
Otherwise, Thanksgiving wouldbe ruined.
Caitlin K (21:57):
Yeah.
Well, what time do you guysusually eat on Thanksgiving?
Jenny GK (22:00):
Like four-ish.
Okay.
Caitlin K (22:02):
I know people who've eaten at like 2, 2.30.
Like that to me, that's tooearly.
I kids, I I I'm just gonna eatmore.
Jenny GK (22:10):
No, I do not know.
No, I want it to be more of adinner-ish.
Like it is a it at our house,it is a dinner.
There we sit down aroundfour-ish, take our time, eat.
Remember, I said last week wego for a walk.
Exactly.
Then we come back and dodessert.
Caitlin K (22:25):
Yeah.
That makes sense.
Jenny GK (22:26):
All right.
Okay.
How many people attend theMacy's Thanksgiving Day parade
in New York City?
Caitlin K (22:32):
Oh, thousands.
I don't know.
25,000?
It's probably not right, but Idon't know.
Jenny GK (22:42):
There are 8,000 people in the parade if that helps
you.
Caitlin K (22:45):
Oh.
Uh.
Oh, okay.
Well then 75,000.
Jenny GK (22:53):
Three and a half million people attend.
Line the streets to attend theparade.
Three and a half million.
Caitlin K (23:00):
It is long.
I'm sorry.
I'm just thinking about likejust that square.
Just that square.
Right.
Where it's like people are inbuildings and stuff in the
world.
Jenny GK (23:07):
The Herald Square.
Is that the name of that space?
I think so.
Yeah.
Alright.
No, no, it's like 75,000.
Caitlin K (23:15):
Are you kidding me?
Yep.
Jenny GK (23:16):
75,000 are sitting in the stands in front of Maisie's.
Exactly.
Um 27 and 7 tenths millionpeople watch it on TV.
Caitlin K (23:30):
Oh, wow.
Jenny GK (23:31):
It's tradition.
It is.
And I mean, and it's played upagainst a lot of other things.
Caitlin K (23:37):
Yeah.
Jenny GK (23:37):
Right?
There's other parades outthere, and people are doing
turkey trots and watchingfootball and all those things.
All right.
At what temperature is yourturkey safe to eat?
Caitlin K (23:52):
This is hilarious because I don't cook meat.
I don't know how.
Like, I have no idea.
Um 200 degrees?
I have no idea.
165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Jenny GK (24:08):
I would think 200 would be a little overcooked.
Okay.
And my last question for you.
I am so excited about thisquestion.
I just learned this fact, andto me, it's going to be my new
Thanksgiving trivia.
Everyone I know is going tohear this before Thursday
afternoon.
Caitlin K (24:24):
I love it.
Jenny GK (24:25):
What do Marilyn Monroe, Meryl Streep, Matt
Damon, and Taylor Swift all havein common with Thanksgiving?
Caitlin K (24:37):
It's their birthday?
No, because it changes everyyear.
Jenny GK (24:41):
Um and my daughter is now screaming at the radio
saying, um, Taylor Swift'sbirthday is the 13th of
December.
Caitlin K (24:51):
Oh.
Then it's definitely not that.
Their mothers all went intolabor at the parade?
I have no idea.
Jenny GK (24:59):
They are all direct descendants of passengers on the
Mayflower.
Caitlin K (25:05):
Stop.
Are you serious?
Yes.
That's so cool.
I was like, their names allstart with M, and then you
ruined it with two or so.
And I was like, oh man.
Jenny GK (25:16):
According to the New England Historic Genealogical
Society, they are alldescendants of passengers on the
Mayflower.
That's wild.
Holy cow.
So I think we should take abreak to let that sink in.
And uh when we come back, we'llhave some circle time.
Yes.
Caitlin K (25:35):
Sounds great.
See you there.
We're back.
We're here.
Let's do this.
Sounds great.
Okay, do you um have anyobsessions right now?
We're just gonna go right intoit.
Jenny GK (25:53):
Okay.
Um what I am obsessed withright now is trance music.
Have you heard of this?
Caitlin K (26:05):
I mean, yeah, because we grew up in the like late 90s
and and early aughts, and soyeah, I know what trance music
is, but Okay.
Do you know what's like comingback?
Oh, what's old is new again.
It's like a every 30 years.
There's like a 30-year cycle,right?
Like, why?
(26:27):
Why?
Why is it?
Jenny GK (26:28):
Spotify, like, knows me, right?
It's a robot, it's figured meout.
But like always coming up on mymade-for-you page, like, hey,
try this playlist, try this one.
Okay, so they gave me deephouse trance, and I can't stop
listening.
Caitlin K (26:45):
Is are you listening to it like for productivity?
Like, what's oh, okay, thatmakes sense.
Yeah.
Yes.
You just put it on thebackground and you can just like
zone out and work.
Yeah, I have um like a binauralbeats one that kind of gets
it's sort of like house beatskind of feeling, and yeah, I I
definitely find myself fixatingfor long periods of time when I
(27:07):
do that.
Jenny GK (27:07):
Yeah, move away from lo-fi.
Oh, really?
Chilled cow and I might bebreaking up.
Caitlin K (27:14):
Okay, well, send me this playlist and I'll see how I
do with it because I'm curiousnow.
All right.
Yeah, I'm interested.
Okay, well, mine kind of goesalong with Thanksgiving and what
you wear.
Are you guys a fancy dressThanksgiving group of people, or
do you are you guys like we'recooking and then we're wearing
sweats because we want to eatand then we're gonna do it?
Jenny GK (27:34):
We are change into clean clothes after you've
cooked people.
It is not fancy.
Okay, but um, it is clean.
Caitlin K (27:43):
Okay.
I'm more of a look presentable,but also wear stretchy pants
kind of person.
Oh yeah.
I don't do hard pants veryoften anyway these days.
Jenny GK (27:55):
I will out my family just a little bit.
Uh after the dessert, becauseyou know the routine is eat,
walk, dessert, there is anotherstep.
Caitlin K (28:07):
Yeah.
Jenny GK (28:07):
And it is the unbuttoning of the pants.
Caitlin K (28:10):
Yes.
Okay, and I've I skip every onestep.
Yeah, no, I skip it because Iwear stretchy pants.
So I don't even have to worryabout.
Jenny GK (28:18):
Yeah, exactly.
So um these are not maternitypants, these are my Thanksgiving
pants.
Caitlin K (28:24):
These are my Thanksgiving pants.
Yep, exactly.
So I um I discovered, and theseare not new by any means at
all.
So once again, just remember Isubscribe to Behind the Times
and I'm always late oneverything.
Oh, that's great.
Yeah.
Jenny GK (28:43):
Although I brought up trance music.
Caitlin K (28:47):
But um I found you know, Carrie Underwood has a
brand of like athleisure.
Jenny GK (28:54):
No, I did not know this.
Caitlin K (28:55):
Yeah.
So like Kate Hudson hasFabletics.
Yes.
Kim Kardashian has Skims, andCarrie Underwood has athleisure
stuff as well.
And hers is sold at Dick'ssporting goods stores and
probably elsewhere too.
But um, I went in there.
Jenny GK (29:13):
I hope it's at Bass Pro too.
I feel like she could be a BassPro person.
Caitlin K (29:16):
She does seem like a Bass Pro kind of girl, doesn't
she?
Yeah.
Um, but she has um her brand.
I can't, I don't know if I'msaying it right, but it's Kalia
or Kalia or something.
But C-A-L-I-A is how I believeyou spell it.
And there's a pair of joggersthat I bought while I was at
Dick's for whatever reason, andthey they have like the side
(29:38):
pockets like leggings, which iskey.
I don't buy anything thatdoesn't have pockets anymore.
Jenny GK (29:44):
But also I am wearing pants without pockets today, and
I am regretting it.
Caitlin K (29:48):
Yeah, I can't even do laundry without it because I
want to have my phone in mypocket so that I can listen to
something while I'm folding.
It's just how I am.
So um I bought these pants,they're so comfortable.
They're like, they're thematerial is like legging
material, but they're joggers.
So they're like loose, but Ialso don't like I'm not a yoga
(30:10):
pant person where the ankleflares out.
I don't I do not like I don'tlike that.
Jenny GK (30:15):
It's the only of the dance team in the 1990s.
Caitlin K (30:19):
Well, but they only work too like if you're not
wearing shoes.
And if you're wearing shoes, itto me it looks funny and I like
it.
So I'm a very big job.
Joggers person.
And these are texture ofleggings, but jogger pants.
And they're so comfortable andthey have pockets, and I just
really like them.
So if you're interested, if youneed some athleisure pants, and
(30:40):
they also have like that tummy,like big, love it, like strong
band in the front, you know?
Jenny GK (30:46):
Very nice.
Caitlin K (30:46):
Very nice.
Highly recommend.
Wear them all the time.
I also need supportdocumentation.
But no, but yeah, that and um Ithink I'm gonna go and get more
colors because I just reallylike them that much.
That's all super comfy.
Yeah.
Jenny GK (31:05):
Okay.
Let us transition.
It is time for the gem of theweek.
Yes.
And so often, this is a storythat is embarrassing.
Um, this one is onlyembarrassing uh because of
anyway, I'll get into it andyou'll figure it out.
My school is about six-tenthsof a mile from a big city park.
Caitlin K (31:31):
Okay, this is now the second time that you have made
some sort of reference tonumbers with a very precise
fraction or decimal.
You were like 27 and 7 tenthspeople.
Yeah, you it is okay on apodcast for adults to say
points.
(31:51):
It's about half a mile.
Or there you go.
Like we all get it.
Jenny GK (31:55):
Um, and so we have 80 kids in second through eighth
grade, and we walk them to thecity park every day for lunch.
And part of the walk iscrossing a major boulevard in
the city of Austin.
Yes.
It has a protected uhcrosswalk, and we cross in
groups, and we've got the safetydown to a science.
(32:18):
But it is a site to be heldthat you know, there you are,
stopped, and then 80 kids arecrossing the street, and not in
a single file line, like holdingonto a rope.
We're we're clustered becauseit is safer to move in a big
group than to have one stragglerway behind everybody trying to
stay in line.
Yes.
(32:38):
Um, so this is just a normaloccurrence.
Every day, middle of the day,80 kids crossing this major
street.
The other day, I'm at the fishstore, which, because we're
reefers, is not where you buyfish to eat.
It is where you buy things foryour fish tank.
(32:59):
We were at the fish store, andthe guy who owns the fish store
says to me, Hey, I saw youcrossing the street with your
kids the other day.
Kate, this is embarrassing,Caitlin, because I've been to
the fish store enough that theowner of the store can recognize
me from his car.
Caitlin K (33:23):
This is like, this is giving like teachers stopping
to do errands after um afterspirit day vibes, right?
Like you just me.
Jenny GK (33:37):
You know, the first time I ever went to therapy was
on a Friday that was a spiritday, and I had painted my face
like a tiger.
Uh.
And I had used marker, and Icouldn't get it off.
So I am meeting my therapistfor the first time, and what I
have to say to her is I'm nothere because I think I'm a
(33:59):
tiger.
Caitlin K (34:03):
She's like, okay, I'm gonna put the phone down
because I was gonna be calling.
Jenny GK (34:08):
Like, I don't know if that makes your job easier or
harder, but the tiger thing isnot why I'm here.
Caitlin K (34:17):
Oh, that's yeah, that's hard.
Yikes.
Um mine is I'm just old.
Like, I'm older than thetradition of pardoning turkeys.
I am older than the traditionof pardoning turkeys.
That's how you know that I'mold, right?
I'm older than that tradition.
So um this morning I I mean Imentioned this to you earlier.
(34:41):
Um today is technically a dayoff for me, so I kind of took it
easy.
And I normally take my walkvery early in the morning, and
there's like, you know, theusual four people out, and
there's very few cars, and allit's very quiet, and I can keep
my earbuds lower because and Ineed to because it's dark and I
want to like pay attention totraffic and blah blah blah.
(35:02):
Yeah, yeah.
Um, but I I went out latertoday, and I happened to be out
during a time when school isstarting for the middle school
that's not far from us.
Oh and so and I would gatherthat also means that the high
(35:22):
school was probably gearing uptoo, which means that there are
cars everywhere, everywhere.
And it was so loud today on mywalk, and I I can't have my
earpods in because if I do that,then I can't hear the podcast
that I'm listening to anyway,and I have to rewind it and I
get frustrated.
And today was cold, and Ididn't want to keep taking my
(35:44):
phone out of my pocket becausemy hands were getting cold,
which is an it's a whole firstworld problems situation.
Like, oh no, you had to takeyour phone out of your pocket,
you big baby.
Like, calm down.
Sorry.
Jenny GK (35:57):
So you could push the button to rewind 15 seconds that
you like put it on your armwhen you went to the gym in
college.
And like it was never really,it never really worked, like the
touch screen part through theplastic.
Caitlin K (36:10):
So you'd be like holding your arm in a weird
angle because you didn't want totake it off and like oh
annoying.
Um and I actually wore one ofthose for a long time until I
started wearing shorts to run inthat had a pocket where my
phone will stay, or I wear likea tight like waistband kind of
thing that will hold my phone.
Anyway, that's neither here northere.
Then as I'm walking, I take theAirPods out and I couldn't
(36:34):
listen to anything because thetraffic was so loud and there
was construction and like peoplejackhammering into the
sidewalks and all this stuff.
And I after like the third timetaking my AirPods out, um, and
you know, like when you takethem out and your music
auto-stops and then you put themback in and it auto-starts.
(36:54):
Okay, yes.
The app that I was listening tothis podcast on, I'm not gonna
like say anything negative aboutuh this app because it's a very
popular app.
However, it is glitchy and theonly reason I was using it is
because the podcast I waslistening to is ad-free on this
(37:15):
app.
So otherwise I don't normallyuse this one.
And um, when you take yourAirPod out, it will stop, but it
will not restart when you putit back in.
Again, first world problems.
But I was taking it outconstantly because it was too
(37:35):
loud with all the traffic andthe jackhammering and
everything.
And as I'm walking down thestreet, I was like, oh,
everything is too loud.
And I said that out loud on thestreet.
Yeah, I was walking by someleaf blowers.
There were two leaf flowers onthe street.
I thought I'd gone to a quietspot.
(37:56):
Nope, two leaf blowers, and Iscreamed out loud, oh,
everything is too loud.
Because I was I had walked downthe street.
Right.
I had walked down the streetwith my AirPod out for almost
the entire block because it wastoo loud.
And I was annoyed that I had todo that because again, first
world problems.
And I just said out loud tomyself that everything was too
(38:18):
loud.
And I didn't realize it waslike that loud until like I was
like, oh my God, I said that outloud.
Like I've yelled, oh my god,everything is too loud! Like a
like an old lady, get off thelawn sort of thing.
Jenny GK (38:30):
Someone like offer you some metamusle, like as you're
saying.
Caitlin K (38:33):
Right, right.
Miralax.
I don't know.
What else do they what otherstuff is like that?
Uh dinner at 4 30.
Polydent.
Like, I don't know.
Yeah, like or polygrip.
Polygrip, that's the one whereit keeps them in your mouth.
Um, I was just like, why likewhy is everything too loud?
Everything is too loud.
So, like, clearly I was havingsome like noise sensitivity
(38:58):
issues this morning, but alsojust like, why did I why have I
become that person where I'mlike, I just want to walk in the
quiet, in the dark with my earpods in so I can hear my
podcast?
Is that too much to ask?
Losing my mind over this stupidsounds of people being outside.
Like, what is just living theirlife, just doing their thing,
(39:22):
most of them doing their jobs,you know, dragging around the
street, going to school, gettingdropped off, and I'm like like
just so grouchy.
So that's terrible.
That was just me losing my mindthis morning.
Gosh.
Jenny GK (39:37):
Okay.
Yeah.
Well, with that, I hope thatyou have a great Thanksgiving.
Thank you for listening.
If you would like to thank us,you can do it um with stars.

Caitlin K (40:43):
And uh we're thankful for you guys, and happy

Jenny GK (00:29):
Hey Caitlin.
Jimmy Buffett just called fromheaven, and he's so excited
because every day there isCruise Day.
Caitlin K (00:42):
Oh, bless you, Jimmy Buffett.
Guys, we're so glad you'rehere.
It is a fun episode todaybecause you're probably doing
the things for Thanksgiving.
Yes?
Like we're probably just bakingor cleaning or both or
screaming at children orwhatever it is.
So we have a fun one today.
(01:04):
It's all just Thanksgiving, funfacts, and trivia.
And I assure you that as theelementary certified like social
studies teacher, I probablydon't know any of these answers.
It's gonna be good.
Really embarrassing.
But first, we have to introduceeveryone.
Everyone meeting the two of us.
Jenny GK (01:25):
With us today is Caitlin, who's so hot, I need
oven mitts.
Caitlin K (01:31):
Oh my gosh! How perfectly apropos.
I love it.
I also just used a fancy word.
I'm proud of you.
You did.
I'm so proud of myself.
Well, that's Jenny.
She's my delicious stack ofwaffles.
I know we love it.
Oh, that's good.
Thanks.
I like that one too.
Jenny GK (01:53):
All right.
Well, you sent me some prettyexciting information about our
show.
Caitlin K (01:57):
I did.
It made me laugh out loud.
And I again, I don't know why Ilaughed out loud, but I was
sitting at swim lessons as I do,and I um sent Jenny, I got this
email and I sent Jenny thispicture, and um I'm pulling it
up right now.
Uh, you guys, we are currentlyranking in Apple Podcasts top
(02:23):
100.
Hot 100 for Education How To inNew Zealand.
Jenny GK (02:32):
So shout out to all my Kiwis out there.
Thanks for listening.
Caitlin K (02:37):
Yeah, it's really awesome of you.
And it to me it makes a littlebit more sense, because it is an
English-speaking country, likethat they would that there would
be somebody there listening.
Yeah, because I don'tunderstand how I mean I don't
know what language aside fromPolish is Polish the dominant
language in Poland?
Yeah, but I'd guess so.
Jenny GK (02:56):
Alright, so I have some Thanksgiving trivia
questions.
Okay.
And I have blocked out theanswers.
So you can cheat if you wantto, but don't.
I won't cheat.
The first question I have foryou was or is how long was the
(03:22):
first Thanksgiving?
Caitlin K (03:25):
I know how long they usually are at my house, which
is several hours.
I'm gonna I'm gonna guess morethan that because it was like
harvesting and stuff.
Jenny GK (03:35):
It was three days long.
Caitlin K (03:37):
Oh, who knows?
Jenny GK (03:38):
When did it happen?
What year, do you know?
Caitlin K (03:40):
I don't 16.
You know what I have in my headright now?
Um, so in the Disney moviePocahontas, in which Pocahontas
is portrayed not historicallyaccurately, there's that song in
the beginning where they'relike, in 1607, and I know it's
like around that time.
They sailed the ocean seas.
That song.
Jenny GK (04:02):
Something, something twenty one.
Caitlin K (04:04):
Yeah, it's around that time.
Virginia company That's sogreat.
Oh, 1621.
Okay, so I wasn't too far off.
Jenny GK (04:13):
Yeah, no, not too far off at all.
All right, okay.
Um, who were the native peoplesuh with whom the pilgrims
celebrated things?
Caitlin K (04:22):
I do know this one, um, but I'm gonna say it wrong.
The wampanag or wampanag.
Is that right?
Jenny GK (04:28):
I think that's how you say it.
Yeah.
Caitlin K (04:29):
Oh.
Jenny GK (04:30):
Oh, yeah.
I do know that one.
Okay, this one's a gimme.
What type of nut is in pecanpie?
I believe they're pronouncedpecans.
Pecans.
So I put this in there becauseone of the trivia question lists
I looked up actually had thison there.
Caitlin K (04:51):
Well, that's like that question.
Oh, I always used to show this.
Jenny GK (04:54):
Who's married or who's buried in Grant's tomb?
Like it's pecan pie, guys.
Walnuts.
Caitlin K (05:04):
Right yeah.
Uh almonds, obviously.
Um, there's that, there's amath video, uh, and I don't
really like the video for whatit is now looking back on it,
but I used to show it to mysixth graders all the time.
And it's if I'm driving 80miles an hour, how long will it
take me to travel 80 miles?
And the the it's a husbandasking his wife, and she's
(05:25):
calculating it.
Like she's like, Well, thetimers rotate.
Uh there's like a hundredrotations in a mile, and he's
like, Yeah, a hundred rotations.
Like, what?
What?
And then she's like, Well, andI can run like a seven and a
half, and he's like, Yeah, okay.
And then you like see her likefake running, and she's like, So
(05:46):
it's gotta be like, you know,like 58 minutes, and he's like,
pretty close, pretty close.
She goes on for like it's likea solid three or four minute
video, and he just sits therecackling at her while she's
trying to think.
Well, some people in our nationdon't have maps, yeah.
That one.
(06:07):
Yeah.
Jenny GK (06:10):
All right.
How many women were at thefirst Thanksgiving?
Caitlin K (06:13):
Oh my gosh.
Well, they had to do all thecooking and cleaning, so there
had to be at least a few, ahandful, like ten.
Jenny GK (06:21):
It was five.
Five.
Ew.
Now, the reason there were sofew is not because they were all
in the kitchen, but becausemany of them had died after
coming over on the Mayflower.
Caitlin K (06:35):
Okay.
Well.
Alright.
Jenny GK (06:39):
So there were just fewer women in general.
Caitlin K (06:42):
Well, and they didn't bring that many to begin with,
right?
Right.
Because it was mostly likesingle dudes who they were
bringing.
Jenny GK (06:48):
Alright, so.
Which president received a liveraccoon as a Thanksgiving
present?
Caitlin K (06:57):
Oh.
Uh, Teddy Roosevelt.
Jenny GK (07:02):
Uh, that would make sense.
It was actually CalvinCoolidge.
Oh.
This guy, Vinny Joyce fromMississippi, sent him a live
raccoon that he was supposed toeat for Thanksgiving night.
Caitlin K (07:16):
No, no, no, no.
No.
Mm-mm.
First of all, we don't eattrash pandas because they're too
precious.
Second of all, we don't eattrash pandas because they're
rabid.
Like what are we eating?
Can you imagine being sent alive raccoon?
Right.
Like that thing would haveclawed the inside of whatever
you had that in.
Jenny GK (07:38):
Like a recipe book.
Caitlin K (07:41):
And a blade to skin it.
Jenny GK (07:43):
President Coolidge liked the raccoon and named her
Rebecca.
Caitlin K (07:47):
Yay! Okay, so there's a happy ending.
Okay, there's a happy ending.
Jenny GK (07:51):
He pardoned her.
Caitlin K (07:52):
What a weird name for a raccoon, Rebecca.
Oh well, I guess Rebecca theRecco.
Jenny GK (07:56):
Okay, fine.
Caitlin K (07:57):
He pardoned her.
How cute.
Jenny GK (07:59):
He pardoned her.
So I want to know who was thefirst president to pardon a
turkey on Thanksgiving.
Caitlin K (08:08):
Ooh.
I feel like this tradition isprobably pretty old, but I every
time I have a hunch like that,it's wrong.
So I'm gonna guess.
I don't know.
Eisenhower?
Jenny GK (08:27):
It was JFK.
Oh.
And then it didn't happen againfor a while.
You said this tradition ispretty old.
Yeah.
The person who started it as ayearly tradition was H.W.
Bush.
Oh.
And if I'm not wrong, uh he waspresident after you were born.
(08:52):
Yes.
Mm-hmm.
Sure was.
So I would say the traditionisn't the only thing that we
feel like might be, quote,pretty old.
Caitlin K (09:08):
I told you, this is not my expertise.
I do not know any of this.
This is I knew one answer.
Jenny GK (09:16):
Alright.
Speaking of turkeys, how manyturkeys are prepared for
Thanksgiving dinner in Americaeach year?
Caitlin K (09:23):
Ooh.
Jenny GK (09:26):
I don't know.
Like there's 330 millionAmericans, if that helps you.
And remember that a lot of themare sharing a turkey.
Caitlin K (09:36):
Okay, so somewhere.
Jenny GK (09:38):
And there's a hundred rotations when you go a mile.
Caitlin K (09:41):
10 and 25%.
And I can run a seven and ahalf minute rotation.
Right.
So between like 10, no, betweenlike, yeah, between 10 and 15%,
maybe 20%, if we're sharingturkeys.
I don't know, like thirty,thirty-five million.
Forty-six million turkeys.
(10:03):
Hey, that wasn't terrible, allthings considered.
Jenny GK (10:06):
No, you were closest without going over.
You're not playing againstanyone, but if you That's okay.
No, shh.
You would go home with theshowcase showdown.
Caitlin K (10:15):
4,501.
Like Drew.
Right, yeah, right.
Jenny GK (10:20):
All right.
How many pumpkin pies areconsumed each year at Think
Speaker?
Caitlin K (10:25):
Okay, I gotta double it because if I said 35 million,
because there are people wholike pie is a big deal, although
there's different kinds ofpies.
So I'm gonna say.
Jenny GK (10:37):
I will tell you it is not one-to-one turkey to pumpkin
pie.
Caitlin K (10:40):
No, it's more.
It's gotta be more pies.
Because turkeys are bigger, andyeah, and people want pie.
Uh let's go 50.
50 million.
50 million is correct.
Ding ding ding! Really?
Jenny GK (10:54):
Yes.
Oh my gosh! Um, you're at twoso far.
Great job.
Caitlin K (10:59):
The number ones are the hardest.
I so I the other day I tweetedabout or I didn't tweet, because
I don't tweet that muchanymore, but I um threaded
threads, threaded, whatever,about how um apparently I am now
the person who not only watchesFamily Feud in the evenings,
(11:21):
but also gets angry when theanswers that the people give
don't are not the right ones,right?
Like don't make sense at all.
Right.
Where I'm like, why did youchoose that?
The answer is obviously head!Like what?
You know what I mean?
I completely lose my mind.
And I've I've decided that whenthey do fast money at the end,
(11:41):
which I just learned the name ofbecause even though I've been
watching it, I didn't know itwas called Fast Money.
Um, the number ones are thehardest.
So if I'm getting a number oneright, like the number
questions, then I feel like I'mdoing okay.
So I got one number one right.
Okay, cool.
Jenny GK (11:56):
All right, give me another one.
Feather in your cap.
What percent of Americans skipturkey on Thanksgiving?
Percentage?
What percent of America?
Caitlin K (12:09):
I mean, not I don't know.
20%?
Uh 12%.
Really?
They skip turkey.
Okay.
So this is turkey, 12%.
I'm okay.
I'm just wondering if thatincludes people who also like
don't celebrate it at all, orthis is just the celebrators.
Jenny GK (12:32):
I think this is if you are attending a Thanksgiving
event and not eating the turkey.
Caitlin K (12:38):
Oh.
Oh, okay.
All right.
Yeah, mostly.
Jenny GK (12:41):
So if we were to say that Chandler was the only
friend who didn't eatThanksgiving foods, that would
be one out of six, which is 16%.
Caitlin K (12:50):
Oh.
Jenny GK (12:51):
So they were close to average.
Caitlin K (12:54):
Yeah, they were.
That's also they probably are,you know, uh, those are all
probably kids, right?
Who you spend all day makingall the food and all they want
is what is a roll.
Yep, there it is.
Jenny GK (13:04):
Yep.
That's probably it.
Okay.
In 2022, how much did theaverage Thanksgiving dinner cost
per person?
Oh my gosh.
Caitlin K (13:19):
Everything is so expensive.
Um I was shocked by this one.
We are looking for sponsors.
If anyone would like to sponsorus, this is coming out of our
pocket.
So that helps out.
Um I don't um it's 75 bucks.
Jenny GK (13:38):
64.
$64.5.
Caitlin K (13:42):
Yuck.
Jenny GK (13:44):
Ewah.
It's a lot.
It's so much money.
But it's not as much as thenext question I'm gonna ask you.
Caitlin K (13:51):
Uh-oh.
Jenny GK (13:52):
What is the average number of calories consumed by a
person at Thanksgiving?
Caitlin K (13:57):
It's gotta be like twice the daily amount that
you're like recommended.
It's like 4,000.
It's gotta be.
Jenny GK (14:03):
It's 4,500, Caitlin.
It's 4,500.
Oh my gosh.
That's so many.
That's the average.
That's the average.
There's somebody out thereeating 10,000 calories.
Caitlin K (14:16):
In one day.
And it's not Michael Fowler.
Alright, I was gonna say, andit's not an Olympic swimmer.
Oh gosh.
That's so much.
See, like, I always feel likemy eyes are bigger than my
stomach on Thanksgiving, whichis probably a good thing.
But oh man, I just I I make itup in pie the next day.
I love that.
Oh, sure.
Jenny GK (14:36):
And um, I did see one statistic that 80% of Americans
prefer Thanksgiving leftovers toThanksgiving dinner.
Caitlin K (14:45):
I see, I don't really go for the leftover like meal
part, but I love the leftoverdesserts.
Like I feel like after it's allkind of settled in and yeah, I
love it.
Jenny GK (14:57):
Okay, so.
This one relates to the amountof food being eaten a little
bit.
Black Friday is the biggest dayof the year for what trade
profession?
Caitlin K (15:13):
It has to be plumbers.
It has to be.
Plumbers! Because I'm thinkingabout, okay, I'm when I was a
kid, I remember this.
Our garbage disposal broke onThanksgiving.
Every year after Thanksgiving.
Yeah, every so, but like that'sjust the day.
So then, but if everyone's ifyou're talking about eating,
it's gotta be the day after,which is gotta be.
Jenny GK (15:31):
Well, and the thing is, like, when your disposal
breaks on Thanksgiving, youtough it out, right?
You're like, okay, it's notguest wedding, it just won't go
anymore.
Exactly.
We'll we'll scrape.
We'll call tomorrow.
Yep.
So my guess is a lot of peoplecall tomorrow.
Caitlin K (15:47):
Oh, please, for the love of all that is holy, do not
put oil or like liquid butteror regular butter down your
garbage disposal.
Like, don't just liquid fatdoesn't go down the disposal.
No, put it in a put it, putline a bowl with some foil and
then pour it into the foil andthen freeze it and throw it
(16:09):
away.
And take it.
Jenny GK (16:11):
I do the same thing when I'm cooking on a cookie
sheet.
I line it with foil and then Ijust let it sit out and it
congeals, and then I can justroll up the foil.
Caitlin K (16:19):
Mm-hmm.
Just don't don't gross.
Or bones.
Don't put bones down thedraining it.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
People do.
It's gross.
Okay.
Jenny GK (16:31):
I'm like thinking of human bones.
I know that's not what youmeant, but still, like I'm
hearing someone like putting iton the body.
Caitlin K (16:36):
There's a whole story about that.
There's a whole story about aguy in England, I think, who was
putting body parts down, thedrain, and people were having
plumbing problems.
And that's how they figured outthat he had done.
Go find my favorite murder, golisten to that.
Yeah, there you go.
Yeah.
All right.
Jenny GK (16:55):
I'm introducing you to a figure from American history
named Sarah Josephina Hale.
Caitlin K (17:03):
Okay.
Jenny GK (17:04):
And she really campaigned for Thanksgiving to
become a national holiday.
Every year since GeorgeWashington, the president has
declared a national day ofThanksgiving.
The only president who didn'tdo it was Thomas Jefferson
because he very vehementlybelieved that in separation of
church and state, and he feltthat Thanksgiving was a
religious holiday in nature anddid not want to make it a
(17:27):
national holiday.
It was not officially anational holiday until the 1860s
when it became marked as a dayevery year.
We didn't have to wait for thepresident to be like, will he or
won't he?
So Sarah Josephina Hale was thewoman behind this big campaign.
(17:53):
She also wrote a very famoussong.
What is that song?
Okay.
Caitlin K (18:04):
Like what's the song?
It is a song that's not evenclassical.
Is it like a song, an adultsong, like a patriotic song?
Jenny GK (18:13):
And it is not patriotic in nature.
But you are on the right track.
Caitlin K (18:19):
It's not it's not twinkle, twinkle, little star
because somebody else wrotethat.
Jenny GK (18:24):
Or should I say you're in the right meadow?
Caitlin K (18:27):
Oh wow.
Sheep farm.
Um, um, is it Mary had a littlelamb?
Yes.
Yay! I'm jumping.
Sheep.
Oh my god.
Why did I go from meadow tosheep to farm and then back to
Mary had a little lamb?
Oh it doesn't matter.
Jenny GK (18:49):
You're gonna hurry.
Wait, okay.
So here's the deal.
She wrote Mary Had a LittleLamb.
She did a lot of other things.
She was a magazine um editorand she was a staunch supporter
of um gender roles in the home.
Oh.
In fact, she was um against thewomen's suffrage movement
because she felt that women whogot involved in politics
(19:11):
wouldn't be available at home.
So I don't necessarily agree toeverything that she says.
Yes.
But she did use her power as uheditor for good, and she pushed
and pushed and pushed forThanksgiving to become a day.
She wrote a letter to PresidentLincoln, and it is often
praised as the reason that hedeclared a national day of
(19:34):
Thanksgiving to happen everyyear.
Caitlin K (19:35):
So now I'm thinking if she's like so into
traditional gender roles, well,did she just like want a day
where she would just be cookingthe entire day?
Jenny GK (19:47):
Like, I know how to be like, I am gonna declare
Thanksgiving.
And the women are not gonnacook.
Right.
Because the other 364 days ayear, I want them to.
Caitlin K (19:58):
Right.
Like, oh, that's my thanks.
Is I'm not cooking and I'm notcleaning.
Like, what?
Why?
Oh.
And I'm fully aware for ourmale identifying listeners that
yes, there are plenty of men whodo the cooking on Thanksgiving.
My dad is one of them.
Yeah, my husband.
He sews the turkey shut.
(20:20):
Ew.
My husband is one of them.
Like, I get it.
I mean, I don't and I only makedessert.
I'm not good at making anythingelse.
So that's all I do.
But I traditionally, there arelots of women who are dealing
with being the person.
So kind of blame this.
What's her name?
Sarah Jessica Parker.
What?
Sarah Jessica.
(20:40):
Sarah Josephina Hale.
Oh, same.
No, not the same.
But still, I had the idea.
Well, thank you forThanksgiving.
Also, there's probably somewomen who are mad at you.
P.S.
Also, Mary's damn it's a littlebit of an obnoxious song, just
putting that out there.
But it did stand the test oftime.
Jenny GK (20:57):
It did.
Yeah.
Alright, fine.
All right.
What city has the oldestThanksgiving Day parade?
It's not New York.
No, that would be obvious.
I wouldn't ask if it was NewYork.
Philadelphia?
It is Philadelphia.
Caitlin K (21:09):
It's one of the older cities.
Jenny GK (21:10):
Ah, that was good thinking.
That was good thinking.
Philly's Parade started in1920.
The Macy's Day Parade in NewYork started in 24, and in 1928,
they added balloons to theMacy's Parade.
Caitlin K (21:23):
Did you see the Bluey balloon last year?
Yes.
I loved the Bluey balloon, andit was so cute how they were
promoting her being there.
Jenny GK (21:30):
I love when there's a new balloon.
Like they always do such a goodjob with it.
Caitlin K (21:34):
I cry every year when that stupid parade starts.
Every single year.
I don't know why.
Jenny GK (21:40):
I think I've told you this before, but when I was
growing up, we had a rule aboutthe Thanksgiving Day parade.
The turkey had to be in theoven before the Roquettes came
on.
And so they would say, like,coming up after the break, the
Roquettes.
And my dad's like franticallytrying to fill the turkey shut.
Get it into the oven.
Otherwise, Thanksgiving wouldbe ruined.
Caitlin K (21:57):
Yeah.
Well, what time do you guysusually eat on Thanksgiving?
Jenny GK (22:00):
Like four-ish.
Okay.
Caitlin K (22:02):
I know people who've eaten at like 2, 2.30.
Like that to me, that's tooearly.
I kids, I I I'm just gonna eatmore.
Jenny GK (22:10):
No, I do not know.
No, I want it to be more of adinner-ish.
Like it is a it at our house,it is a dinner.
There we sit down aroundfour-ish, take our time, eat.
Remember, I said last week wego for a walk.
Exactly.
Then we come back and dodessert.
Caitlin K (22:25):
Yeah.
That makes sense.
Jenny GK (22:26):
All right.
Okay.
How many people attend theMacy's Thanksgiving Day parade
in New York City?
Caitlin K (22:32):
Oh, thousands.
I don't know.
25,000?
It's probably not right, but Idon't know.
Jenny GK (22:42):
There are 8,000 people in the parade if that helps
you.
Caitlin K (22:45):
Oh.
Uh.
Oh, okay.
Well then 75,000.
Jenny GK (22:53):
Three and a half million people attend.
Line the streets to attend theparade.
Three and a half million.
Caitlin K (23:00):
It is long.
I'm sorry.
I'm just thinking about likejust that square.
Just that square.
Right.
Where it's like people are inbuildings and stuff in the
world.
Jenny GK (23:07):
The Herald Square.
Is that the name of that space?
I think so.
Yeah.
Alright.
No, no, it's like 75,000.
Caitlin K (23:15):
Are you kidding me?
Yep.
Jenny GK (23:16):
75,000 are sitting in the stands in front of Maisie's.
Exactly.
Um 27 and 7 tenths millionpeople watch it on TV.
Caitlin K (23:30):
Oh, wow.
Jenny GK (23:31):
It's tradition.
It is.
And I mean, and it's played upagainst a lot of other things.
Caitlin K (23:37):
Yeah.
Jenny GK (23:37):
Right?
There's other parades outthere, and people are doing
turkey trots and watchingfootball and all those things.
All right.
At what temperature is yourturkey safe to eat?
Caitlin K (23:52):
This is hilarious because I don't cook meat.
I don't know how.
Like, I have no idea.
Um 200 degrees?
I have no idea.
165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Jenny GK (24:08):
I would think 200 would be a little overcooked.
Okay.
And my last question for you.
I am so excited about thisquestion.
I just learned this fact, andto me, it's going to be my new
Thanksgiving trivia.
Everyone I know is going tohear this before Thursday
afternoon.
Caitlin K (24:24):
I love it.
Jenny GK (24:25):
What do Marilyn Monroe, Meryl Streep, Matt
Damon, and Taylor Swift all havein common with Thanksgiving?
Caitlin K (24:37):
It's their birthday?
No, because it changes everyyear.
Jenny GK (24:41):
Um and my daughter is now screaming at the radio
saying, um, Taylor Swift'sbirthday is the 13th of
December.
Caitlin K (24:51):
Oh.
Then it's definitely not that.
Their mothers all went intolabor at the parade?
I have no idea.
Jenny GK (24:59):
They are all direct descendants of passengers on the
Mayflower.
Caitlin K (25:05):
Stop.
Are you serious?
Yes.
That's so cool.
I was like, their names allstart with M, and then you
ruined it with two or so.
And I was like, oh man.
Jenny GK (25:16):
According to the New England Historic Genealogical
Society, they are alldescendants of passengers on the
Mayflower.
That's wild.
Holy cow.
So I think we should take abreak to let that sink in.
And uh when we come back, we'llhave some circle time.
Yes.
Caitlin K (25:35):
Sounds great.
See you there.
We're back.
We're here.
Let's do this.
Sounds great.
Okay, do you um have anyobsessions right now?
We're just gonna go right intoit.
Jenny GK (25:53):
Okay.
Um what I am obsessed withright now is trance music.
Have you heard of this?
Caitlin K (26:05):
I mean, yeah, because we grew up in the like late 90s
and and early aughts, and soyeah, I know what trance music
is, but Okay.
Do you know what's like comingback?
Oh, what's old is new again.
It's like a every 30 years.
There's like a 30-year cycle,right?
Like, why?
(26:27):
Why?
Why is it?
Jenny GK (26:28):
Spotify, like, knows me, right?
It's a robot, it's figured meout.
But like always coming up on mymade-for-you page, like, hey,
try this playlist, try this one.
Okay, so they gave me deephouse trance, and I can't stop
listening.
Caitlin K (26:45):
Is are you listening to it like for productivity?
Like, what's oh, okay, thatmakes sense.
Yeah.
Yes.
You just put it on thebackground and you can just like
zone out and work.
Yeah, I have um like a binauralbeats one that kind of gets
it's sort of like house beatskind of feeling, and yeah, I I
definitely find myself fixatingfor long periods of time when I
(27:07):
do that.
Jenny GK (27:07):
Yeah, move away from lo-fi.
Oh, really?
Chilled cow and I might bebreaking up.
Caitlin K (27:14):
Okay, well, send me this playlist and I'll see how I
do with it because I'm curiousnow.
All right.
Yeah, I'm interested.
Okay, well, mine kind of goesalong with Thanksgiving and what
you wear.
Are you guys a fancy dressThanksgiving group of people, or
do you are you guys like we'recooking and then we're wearing
sweats because we want to eatand then we're gonna do it?
Jenny GK (27:34):
We are change into clean clothes after you've
cooked people.
It is not fancy.
Okay, but um, it is clean.
Caitlin K (27:43):
Okay.
I'm more of a look presentable,but also wear stretchy pants
kind of person.
Oh yeah.
I don't do hard pants veryoften anyway these days.
Jenny GK (27:55):
I will out my family just a little bit.
Uh after the dessert, becauseyou know the routine is eat,
walk, dessert, there is anotherstep.
Caitlin K (28:07):
Yeah.
Jenny GK (28:07):
And it is the unbuttoning of the pants.
Caitlin K (28:10):
Yes.
Okay, and I've I skip every onestep.
Yeah, no, I skip it because Iwear stretchy pants.
So I don't even have to worryabout.
Jenny GK (28:18):
Yeah, exactly.
So um these are not maternitypants, these are my Thanksgiving
pants.
Caitlin K (28:24):
These are my Thanksgiving pants.
Yep, exactly.
So I um I discovered, and theseare not new by any means at
all.
So once again, just remember Isubscribe to Behind the Times
and I'm always late oneverything.
Oh, that's great.
Yeah.
Jenny GK (28:43):
Although I brought up trance music.
Caitlin K (28:47):
But um I found you know, Carrie Underwood has a
brand of like athleisure.
Jenny GK (28:54):
No, I did not know this.
Caitlin K (28:55):
Yeah.
So like Kate Hudson hasFabletics.
Yes.
Kim Kardashian has Skims, andCarrie Underwood has athleisure
stuff as well.
And hers is sold at Dick'ssporting goods stores and
probably elsewhere too.
But um, I went in there.
Jenny GK (29:13):
I hope it's at Bass Pro too.
I feel like she could be a BassPro person.
Caitlin K (29:16):
She does seem like a Bass Pro kind of girl, doesn't
she?
Yeah.
Um, but she has um her brand.
I can't, I don't know if I'msaying it right, but it's Kalia
or Kalia or something.
But C-A-L-I-A is how I believeyou spell it.
And there's a pair of joggersthat I bought while I was at
Dick's for whatever reason, andthey they have like the side
(29:38):
pockets like leggings, which iskey.
I don't buy anything thatdoesn't have pockets anymore.
Jenny GK (29:44):
But also I am wearing pants without pockets today, and
I am regretting it.
Caitlin K (29:48):
Yeah, I can't even do laundry without it because I
want to have my phone in mypocket so that I can listen to
something while I'm folding.
It's just how I am.
So um I bought these pants,they're so comfortable.
They're like, they're thematerial is like legging
material, but they're joggers.
So they're like loose, but Ialso don't like I'm not a yoga
(30:10):
pant person where the ankleflares out.
I don't I do not like I don'tlike that.
Jenny GK (30:15):
It's the only of the dance team in the 1990s.
Caitlin K (30:19):
Well, but they only work too like if you're not
wearing shoes.
And if you're wearing shoes, itto me it looks funny and I like
it.
So I'm a very big job.
Joggers person.
And these are texture ofleggings, but jogger pants.
And they're so comfortable andthey have pockets, and I just
really like them.
So if you're interested, if youneed some athleisure pants, and
(30:40):
they also have like that tummy,like big, love it, like strong
band in the front, you know?
Jenny GK (30:46):
Very nice.
Caitlin K (30:46):
Very nice.
Highly recommend.
Wear them all the time.
I also need supportdocumentation.
But no, but yeah, that and um Ithink I'm gonna go and get more
colors because I just reallylike them that much.
That's all super comfy.
Yeah.
Jenny GK (31:05):
Okay.
Let us transition.
It is time for the gem of theweek.
Yes.
And so often, this is a storythat is embarrassing.
Um, this one is onlyembarrassing uh because of
anyway, I'll get into it andyou'll figure it out.
My school is about six-tenthsof a mile from a big city park.
Caitlin K (31:31):
Okay, this is now the second time that you have made
some sort of reference tonumbers with a very precise
fraction or decimal.
You were like 27 and 7 tenthspeople.
Yeah, you it is okay on apodcast for adults to say
points.
(31:51):
It's about half a mile.
Or there you go.
Like we all get it.
Jenny GK (31:55):
Um, and so we have 80 kids in second through eighth
grade, and we walk them to thecity park every day for lunch.
And part of the walk iscrossing a major boulevard in
the city of Austin.
Yes.
It has a protected uhcrosswalk, and we cross in
groups, and we've got the safetydown to a science.
(32:18):
But it is a site to be heldthat you know, there you are,
stopped, and then 80 kids arecrossing the street, and not in
a single file line, like holdingonto a rope.
We're we're clustered becauseit is safer to move in a big
group than to have one stragglerway behind everybody trying to
stay in line.
Yes.
(32:38):
Um, so this is just a normaloccurrence.
Every day, middle of the day,80 kids crossing this major
street.
The other day, I'm at the fishstore, which, because we're
reefers, is not where you buyfish to eat.
It is where you buy things foryour fish tank.
(32:59):
We were at the fish store, andthe guy who owns the fish store
says to me, Hey, I saw youcrossing the street with your
kids the other day.
Kate, this is embarrassing,Caitlin, because I've been to
the fish store enough that theowner of the store can recognize
me from his car.
Caitlin K (33:23):
This is like, this is giving like teachers stopping
to do errands after um afterspirit day vibes, right?
Like you just me.
Jenny GK (33:37):
You know, the first time I ever went to therapy was
on a Friday that was a spiritday, and I had painted my face
like a tiger.
Uh.
And I had used marker, and Icouldn't get it off.
So I am meeting my therapistfor the first time, and what I
have to say to her is I'm nothere because I think I'm a
(33:59):
tiger.
Caitlin K (34:03):
She's like, okay, I'm gonna put the phone down
because I was gonna be calling.
Jenny GK (34:08):
Like, I don't know if that makes your job easier or
harder, but the tiger thing isnot why I'm here.
Caitlin K (34:17):
Oh, that's yeah, that's hard.
Yikes.
Um mine is I'm just old.
Like, I'm older than thetradition of pardoning turkeys.
I am older than the traditionof pardoning turkeys.
That's how you know that I'mold, right?
I'm older than that tradition.
So um this morning I I mean Imentioned this to you earlier.
(34:41):
Um today is technically a dayoff for me, so I kind of took it
easy.
And I normally take my walkvery early in the morning, and
there's like, you know, theusual four people out, and
there's very few cars, and allit's very quiet, and I can keep
my earbuds lower because and Ineed to because it's dark and I
want to like pay attention totraffic and blah blah blah.
(35:02):
Yeah, yeah.
Um, but I I went out latertoday, and I happened to be out
during a time when school isstarting for the middle school
that's not far from us.
Oh and so and I would gatherthat also means that the high
(35:22):
school was probably gearing uptoo, which means that there are
cars everywhere, everywhere.
And it was so loud today on mywalk, and I I can't have my
earpods in because if I do that,then I can't hear the podcast
that I'm listening to anyway,and I have to rewind it and I
get frustrated.
And today was cold, and Ididn't want to keep taking my
(35:44):
phone out of my pocket becausemy hands were getting cold,
which is an it's a whole firstworld problems situation.
Like, oh no, you had to takeyour phone out of your pocket,
you big baby.
Like, calm down.
Sorry.
Jenny GK (35:57):
So you could push the button to rewind 15 seconds that
you like put it on your armwhen you went to the gym in
college.
And like it was never really,it never really worked, like the
touch screen part through theplastic.
Caitlin K (36:10):
So you'd be like holding your arm in a weird
angle because you didn't want totake it off and like oh
annoying.
Um and I actually wore one ofthose for a long time until I
started wearing shorts to run inthat had a pocket where my
phone will stay, or I wear likea tight like waistband kind of
thing that will hold my phone.
Anyway, that's neither here northere.
Then as I'm walking, I take theAirPods out and I couldn't
(36:34):
listen to anything because thetraffic was so loud and there
was construction and like peoplejackhammering into the
sidewalks and all this stuff.
And I after like the third timetaking my AirPods out, um, and
you know, like when you takethem out and your music
auto-stops and then you put themback in and it auto-starts.
(36:54):
Okay, yes.
The app that I was listening tothis podcast on, I'm not gonna
like say anything negative aboutuh this app because it's a very
popular app.
However, it is glitchy and theonly reason I was using it is
because the podcast I waslistening to is ad-free on this
(37:15):
app.
So otherwise I don't normallyuse this one.
And um, when you take yourAirPod out, it will stop, but it
will not restart when you putit back in.
Again, first world problems.
But I was taking it outconstantly because it was too
(37:35):
loud with all the traffic andthe jackhammering and
everything.
And as I'm walking down thestreet, I was like, oh,
everything is too loud.
And I said that out loud on thestreet.
Yeah, I was walking by someleaf blowers.
There were two leaf flowers onthe street.
I thought I'd gone to a quietspot.
(37:56):
Nope, two leaf blowers, and Iscreamed out loud, oh,
everything is too loud.
Because I was I had walked downthe street.
Right.
I had walked down the streetwith my AirPod out for almost
the entire block because it wastoo loud.
And I was annoyed that I had todo that because again, first
world problems.
And I just said out loud tomyself that everything was too
(38:18):
loud.
And I didn't realize it waslike that loud until like I was
like, oh my God, I said that outloud.
Like I've yelled, oh my god,everything is too loud! Like a
like an old lady, get off thelawn sort of thing.
Jenny GK (38:30):
Someone like offer you some metamusle, like as you're
saying.
Caitlin K (38:33):
Right, right.
Miralax.
I don't know.
What else do they what otherstuff is like that?
Uh dinner at 4 30.
Polydent.
Like, I don't know.
Yeah, like or polygrip.
Polygrip, that's the one whereit keeps them in your mouth.
Um, I was just like, why likewhy is everything too loud?
Everything is too loud.
So, like, clearly I was havingsome like noise sensitivity
(38:58):
issues this morning, but alsojust like, why did I why have I
become that person where I'mlike, I just want to walk in the
quiet, in the dark with my earpods in so I can hear my
podcast?
Is that too much to ask?
Losing my mind over this stupidsounds of people being outside.
Like, what is just living theirlife, just doing their thing,
(39:22):
most of them doing their jobs,you know, dragging around the
street, going to school, gettingdropped off, and I'm like like
just so grouchy.
So that's terrible.
That was just me losing my mindthis morning.
