Speaker 1 (00:00):
You know today's Kristen's birthday?
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (00:04):
Yeah, I didn't remember. Actually, yes, today is.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
Although you know what if like? Are there a lot
of people?
Speaker 1 (00:14):
And I realize that Thanksgiving changes every year? Not that not,
but it's always the fourth Thursday, right, but the number
date changes? If you are Kristen has your birthday? I
mean I feel like the obvious answer is yes, your
birthday has fallen on Thanksgiving many times?
Speaker 4 (00:34):
Right?
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Isn't it better when it falls on Thanksgiving?
Speaker 2 (00:38):
You like it?
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (00:40):
I love it?
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Are there people that don't? Though?
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Are there people who say it sucks?
Speaker 2 (00:47):
I'm shocked by her auntswer? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (00:49):
Why I get a full feast for my birthday every year?
Speaker 2 (00:53):
I feel like that upset people because when your birthday
is on another day, you get a meal, and especially
when you're a kid and you want your birthday to
be all about you.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
So has it? That's a fair, that's a holiday, that's
a fair question.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Has it changed? Did you feel did you ever have?
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Did your birthday ever fall on Thanksgiving when you were
a kid, yes, and obviously it has fallen on since
you've been an adult. Is it did you hate it
as a kid but love it as an adult.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
No, I've always loved it, so thank you, thank you.
My twenty first fell on Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Yerevo, No, you want that to be the day before.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
No, we went out the night before and as soon
as midnight struck, here we go.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Done so.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Because I was reading like there has to be because again,
it's not like you're born on, Like, what's another holiday.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
You always hear about Christmas Birthday?
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Yeah, okay, Christmas, that would maybe it doesn't suck. But
that's where I think maybe it sucks to everybody else
unless it's yours. But you know, every year it's going
to be on Christmas Day and.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
There's established rules because it is annually. What you're saying Thanksgiving,
people will just be like, how do you treat this?
Do we have to have? So you don't know what
We're gonna all enjoy this feast and celebrate ourselves and
coming together. But I guess maybe one of the desserts
can have a candle birthday cake.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
No pumpkin rolls and pumpkin pies.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
But by the way, I'm doing the same thing.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
I thought you hated pies.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
No, I love pies.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
I don't like it was the wedding cake thing. Yeah,
has been fooled and conditioned into thinking everything done on
Thanksgiving was for her.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Anyway, Oh my god, you know, in honor of your birthday,
I'm also going to have a pumpkin pie.
Speaker 5 (02:40):
Yeah, you guys don't have a turkey on your birthday?
Speaker 3 (02:44):
What now?
Speaker 1 (02:47):
I will say this, I do like the idea. Well,
I'm gonna go two ways here. I do like the
idea of having a birthday cake as part.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Of the desserts.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Because we'll do a bunch of desserts, right, you do,
pumpkin pie, apple press, peach cobbler, like all kinds of desserts, Like,
we'll probably do eight nine desserts. But I do like
the idea of having a birthday cake as part of that. However,
I will say this, I love Thanksgiving so much that
if one of my kid's birthdays fell on Thanksgiving, I
(03:18):
wouldn't care.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
No, I really wouldn't. I really wouldn't.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Because I just mean that you're not really acknowledging it.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
I mean i'd acknowledge it, but it wouldn't be that,
it wouldn't be the highlight.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Of the day.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
No, Because I love Thanksgiving. I love having everybody over,
I love having people there, and I wouldn't go, hey,
we're gonna make this about you. It'd be like happy birthday,
enjoy Thanksgiving. Like I would not be good at that.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Yeah, I think if all the people at your get
together who would not really know it was your child's birthday.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
And I'm fine with that. I'm fine with that.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
But as a kid whose birthday it is, I'd be furious.
But Kristen's saying no, Maybe.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
It's because she doesn't know any better.
Speaker 4 (03:59):
Maybe maybe it's also because it doesn't happen every year,
so that excites it when it does come around, like
maybe a leapier baby. Where like Mike has an annual
holiday birthday that.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
He absolutely hates.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Wait Mike does, Yeah, Valentine's Day.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
He hates it. Oh, that's a good day for a
birthday because you don't celebrate Valentine's True.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
He wants is for a nice steak dinner. But do
you know how many months in advance I have to book.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
That because everything's booked?
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Yes, Oh, well I'm sorry, it's an inconvenience to make
your husband a reservation.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
Well, then when we go to the dinner, everyone, everybody,
are you here for Valentine how.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Many years have you been dating?
Speaker 2 (04:40):
That?
Speaker 3 (04:40):
Would that? Would? That would drive me nuts? Can I
find people whose birthday it is tomorrow?
Speaker 4 (04:45):
Yes, there's a go oh tomorrow. Yeah, there's a lot
that call in when they get my assent for their birthday,
and it's always like on my day or the day
after before.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
I get so excited.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Seth wrightsmorrow quick if somebody, well, seth, but hold on
one second.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
If your birthdays tomorrow, will you call me? Please?
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Well, I guess anytime around if it ever falls on Thanksgiving?
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Britney's is tomorrow? Also, are you kidding me?
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Are they happy about it?
Speaker 2 (05:12):
I was not a big fan as a kid.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Yeah, see I would think not.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
And now I don't even care.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
All right?
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Eight days are for children?
Speaker 3 (05:21):
No, they are not? Except they are not. They are not.
If I don't I ask you this.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
If birthdays are for children, why did both of you
bring in gifts for Kristen Sees our kid?
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (05:32):
And I don't know an adult that makes more of
a big deal about a birthday than you.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
Birthdays are awesome. Birthdays are great.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Don't forget. He's got some gift rule coming up.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Normal gift that is true? That is that actually is
very true. I did. I asked you to write that down.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Yes, Christien, So remember.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
I think it was last week we were talking about
having a turkey for your birthday, which you I believe
you said.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Food is not a gift.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
A gift, correct, but you can like I get it
to turkey all the time, and I love it.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Not all the time, we'll.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
Get when it falls on. Thanks.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Well you're not having turkey today.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
Uh no tomorrow?
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Yeah, so but that's what I mean. So you don't
get it every day? All right? Will you find me some?
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Then everyone gets that turkey. They have brainwashed you. Yes,
your argument is almost the people who think it sucks.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
I get so much homemade food though I love it.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Oh you don't. It's like it's all of our birthdays.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
All right, find me some so I don't necessarily need
people whose birthday it is tomorrow, just Thanksgiving birthdays. We're
fall It has fallen right around that number. Yes, yeah,
eight six six to Elliott eight six six two three
five five four six eight.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
I do like the idea of the birthday cake. I
do like that.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
I looked up the years for her so it would
go twenty twenty. Oh, wait is it happening again next
year for you.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Yes, yeah, she's screaming.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Yes, I get I get pie.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Twenty twenty, twenty fifteen, twenty nine, ninety eight, ninety two
eighty seven.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
You had a big gap there between ninety eight and
two thousand and nine.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
That's a big gap.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
There, you go, like, I'll be real honest, if I
were going over to somebody's house tomorrow and it was
one of their birthdays, I wouldn't give a fly an
f I wouldn't.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
No. I love Thanksgiving and he didn't remember to bring
something the day before. But it can't. Yeah, you you
claim it's the best holiday.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
You can't let another quote unquote holiday affect that.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
I don't care that you're five.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Suck it up.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
No, I would be bad. I would be really bad.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
But you said you think it'd be fun to have
like a sheet cake tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Birthday cake, a birthday cake, Like if you wanted to
throw that on at the end of the meal and
it was like everybody celebrating, we're celebrating. I'll sing to them, okay,
a kid, yes, an adult tough titty the no no, no no,
but it's you can't you can't let you can't be
selfish and let your kid's birthday overshadow the great the
(08:25):
best holiday of the year, even if you're hosting, especially,
he said, if you're hosting, if his own shot, I.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
Wouldn't celebrate it. I would not celebrate it.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
You'd have to do it on the eve. You do
like Thanksgiving Eve.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Too, though I do. I love it tonight.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
It's a great night tonight. So you would just skip
their birthday like a leap year.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
Just move it like they do on a leap year.
Speaker 6 (08:52):
Just move it.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Just do it the day after.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Yeah, do it on Black Friday, Brown Friday.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Oh there's football now? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Yeah? Wait, where am I going?
Speaker 3 (09:07):
Kristen Line one? Hi Ellie at the morning?
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Hi? Hey, who's this?
Speaker 7 (09:14):
This is Taylor. I'm calling him because my birthday is
actually tomorrow now.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Growing up, as obviously you've had Thanksgiving birthdays in the past.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
Does it suck growing up? Like when you were a kid?
Did it suck when I was a kid?
Speaker 7 (09:27):
Who did? That's But honestly, looking back on it, I'm
kind of happy because I always got to be around
family and it is the greatest holiday ever.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Like, there's so much food, right, I also have so
much food and it has nothing to do with your birthday. No,
but I mean, can I ask you this when you're young.
When you were young, were you ever able to have
a birthday party?
Speaker 7 (09:51):
Absolutely not. It would be like my parents would bring
something in class before we actually.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Want to break Yeah right, yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
I was reading.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
I was reading something about hey, thank you, ma'am, about
people who have like Thanksgiving birthdays, and they do say like,
you can never have a party because even if it
was like like earlier this week, well, why would you
have it during the week. You're not going to have
it on the weekend because everybody's got family in town.
You could never have a party.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
You may never have one right around ther birthday.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Well you know it's not fun.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Hey it's May ninth, it's my birthday. I know my
birthday isn't until November. But you know, holidays.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Occasionally that does happen where maybe you're trying to match
up schedules for a sleepover and people have at that.
Speaker 5 (10:39):
That's the other thing I was going to say, there's
no sleepover. Well definitely not the day of No, No,
not at all. So yeah, some of the traditional things
throughout the window and she admitted in the moment it
was bad, yes, but upon reflection she got to spend
more time with family. And as we grow older and
(11:01):
people die off, you're like, yeah, I wish I would
have spent a couple more conversations with them.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
I will say this, the the people that I was
reading about who do have Thanksgiving birthdays, they did say
that there is one huge positive that nobody has mentioned
yet hasn't mentioned it the say again, Kristen hasn't mentioned it,
like Kristen mentioned like, oh I get pie, so do
why there's gonna be homemade food?
Speaker 3 (11:27):
Also at my house? Line one, Hi.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Ellie in the morning, three football games?
Speaker 6 (11:32):
Hello, Hey, who's this Donnie?
Speaker 3 (11:35):
Hey Donnie, what's going on? Dude?
Speaker 6 (11:37):
Yeah? My wife's birthdays tomorrow and sometimes it falls on Thanksgiving.
In the last two years we did it. Last night.
We had to go see Wicked and dress up for
her birthday and it was garbage.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Dress up like a like a witch or you're just
did you dress up as Esmeralda?
Speaker 2 (11:56):
What is its alphaba?
Speaker 3 (11:57):
Alphaba?
Speaker 6 (11:59):
We all had to wear like pink and green and
there was like ten of us, so we had like
half of the theater in the movie. The movie is
just trash. But I mean she loves it. But that's
what we've had to do with the last two years.
I'm not coming out with the third one of those.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Now does she love it?
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Or do you? Is it? Oh?
Speaker 6 (12:17):
Yeah, yeah, no, it's definitely not me. Definitely not me.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
God, that would suck. I didn't even think of that.
I didn't think of that.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
All right, very good, very here's your song, sir.

Speaker 6 (13:05):
Yep?
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Did you hate being a Thanksgiving baby?
Speaker 2 (13:09):
I absolutely love it.
Speaker 7 (13:10):
I loved it my whole life.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Why you can't have a party. You can't have sleepover.
Speaker 7 (13:17):
On the weekend?
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Again, it's not your birthday and family might.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Still be inside.
Speaker 8 (13:21):
Yeah yeah, but you're not gonna have a birth party
on uh during the week anyway.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Yeah, but no, Tyler's right, like Thanksgiving, like you got
family and friends and all that like. And by the way,
I just had thirty people at my house on Thursday.
I got to have all your girlfriends over on Saturday
to spend the night.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
I ain't got time for that.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Well, it was fun.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
So you're all into it. You're all into it, But
would you like what do you what would you do?
Like if it falls on Thanksgiving? What do you do
about birthday prizes?
Speaker 2 (13:59):
I'm just my whole FAA's there for my birthday and we.
Speaker 8 (14:01):
Still have cake on Thanksgiving and it's a great time.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
But what do you like there's no big moment where
you blow out the candles and you get your birthday presents.
Speaker 8 (14:11):
Yeah, we still do all that.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
Uh no, it's Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
I'm not I'm not doing that after dinner. Oh I
just went out for a foot walk and I'm still high.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
And there's a million dishes.
Speaker 6 (14:25):
We'll still have your turkey, we promise, all right.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
All right, maybe I'm wrong.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
By the way, Still, what is the the only benefit
that I found? You have your Uh you're off of
work in school for your birthday.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
That's true when you're young, it's fun to have your
birthday during at school.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
Oh never mind.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Then, so your one positive is a negative.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
Yeah, I guess I didn't think of that. I'd rather
have the day off though.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
No, you don't when you're a kid, I guess, like
when you're young young.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Yeah, even weekend birthday it's a bummer.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Yeah. No, I guess so because middle and high school
you get your locker decorated the Oh yeah, I guess
I wasn't thinking about that because like my younger one
is a summer birthday. Yeah, and so like they would
have like one day at the end of the school
year where it'd be like, all right, this is for
all the summer kids, and nobody cared.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
No, and that's really hard to have a party when
it's the summer birthday because people.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
People are traveling and they're at town. Yeah, we just
said people didn't want to do it. Where am I going?
Line three?
Speaker 3 (15:29):
Hi Ellie in the morning?
Speaker 8 (15:32):
Hi, good morning.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Hey, who's ass?
Speaker 8 (15:35):
My name is Floretta.
Speaker 6 (15:36):
Hey Loretta, how are you?
Speaker 3 (15:39):
I'm good? Are you a Thanksgiving birthday?
Speaker 8 (15:43):
I am? Yam actually me and my one of my
best friends. Her birthday is small also, oh wow, love
it or hate it?
Speaker 7 (15:52):
I love it.
Speaker 8 (15:53):
It's like my favorite time of the year. So I
don't mind having any Thanksgiving birthday. And my parents never
made me celebrate my birthday. If it was on Thanksgiving,
they would honor it, but they would also do something
else in addition, so it's not like I had to
have my party or you know what I mean. They
would have family over. If family was in town, we
would do a separate celebration.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
I mean, I get that. I get that, which is
great because I don't want.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
I don't want to be a guest at your house
for Thanksgiving and then find out, like you know, like,
oh now I got to do a birthday too, right right.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Right? So I liked it.
Speaker 8 (16:30):
I've never minded it, and I love Thanksgiving is my
favorite holiday.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
It's the greatest birthday.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Yeah no, it's not because it's also mine and it
has nothing to do with your birthday. Oh yeah, it's
got nothing to do with that, all right, Very good,
very good.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
I appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Thank you, ma'am from Snapchat. I would never let them
treat Thanksgiving dinner as my birthday meal.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
No you can't, because well Kristen loves it. But the no,
because I want, I want like even still like I do,
I still make a deal out of my birthday.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
But I get whatever I want for my birthday dinner.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Sometimes Jackie will make something yeah, or she'll go like,
where do you want.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
To go for your birthday?
Speaker 2 (17:13):
And by the way, the majority of children hate Thanksgiving dinner.
That is true the fingers. It's all retrospect for you, Chris.
I asked my kids last night what their favorite part
of the meal was. My daughter said the bread, rolls,
rolls freely said rolls, and my son said corn.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
I mean, I.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Do like corn, the one thing you could literally forget
about and still have on the table because it's just
a frozen bag of off the cop kernels.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Right, Okay, but that's this thing.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
Great.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
I'm glad we put all this time in for you
guys to eat and corn.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
No, but I guess you're right, like when you think
back as a kid.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Although it's weird because like, my kids love Thanksgiving, but
this is all they've ever known.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Wait until they have one without menino.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
Oh, they know. They know that tomorrow is gonna suck.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
My kids are used to. I guess the food being
prepared below par
You know today's Kristen's birthday?
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (00:04):
Yeah, I didn't remember. Actually, yes, today is.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
Although you know what if like? Are there a lot
of people?
Speaker 1 (00:14):
And I realize that Thanksgiving changes every year? Not that not,
but it's always the fourth Thursday, right, but the number
date changes? If you are Kristen has your birthday? I
mean I feel like the obvious answer is yes, your
birthday has fallen on Thanksgiving many times?
Speaker 4 (00:34):
Right?
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Isn't it better when it falls on Thanksgiving?
Speaker 2 (00:38):
You like it?
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (00:40):
I love it?
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Are there people that don't? Though?
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Are there people who say it sucks?
Speaker 2 (00:47):
I'm shocked by her auntswer? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (00:49):
Why I get a full feast for my birthday every year?
Speaker 2 (00:53):
I feel like that upset people because when your birthday
is on another day, you get a meal, and especially
when you're a kid and you want your birthday to
be all about you.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
So has it? That's a fair, that's a holiday, that's
a fair question.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Has it changed? Did you feel did you ever have?
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Did your birthday ever fall on Thanksgiving when you were
a kid, yes, and obviously it has fallen on since
you've been an adult. Is it did you hate it
as a kid but love it as an adult.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
No, I've always loved it, so thank you, thank you.
My twenty first fell on Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Yerevo, No, you want that to be the day before.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
No, we went out the night before and as soon
as midnight struck, here we go.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Done so.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Because I was reading like there has to be because again,
it's not like you're born on, Like, what's another holiday.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
You always hear about Christmas Birthday?
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Yeah, okay, Christmas, that would maybe it doesn't suck. But
that's where I think maybe it sucks to everybody else
unless it's yours. But you know, every year it's going
to be on Christmas Day and.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
There's established rules because it is annually. What you're saying Thanksgiving,
people will just be like, how do you treat this?
Do we have to have? So you don't know what
We're gonna all enjoy this feast and celebrate ourselves and
coming together. But I guess maybe one of the desserts
can have a candle birthday cake.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
No pumpkin rolls and pumpkin pies.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
But by the way, I'm doing the same thing.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
I thought you hated pies.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
No, I love pies.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
I don't like it was the wedding cake thing. Yeah,
has been fooled and conditioned into thinking everything done on
Thanksgiving was for her.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Anyway, Oh my god, you know, in honor of your birthday,
I'm also going to have a pumpkin pie.
Speaker 5 (02:40):
Yeah, you guys don't have a turkey on your birthday?
Speaker 3 (02:44):
What now?
Speaker 1 (02:47):
I will say this, I do like the idea. Well,
I'm gonna go two ways here. I do like the
idea of having a birthday cake as part.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Of the desserts.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Because we'll do a bunch of desserts, right, you do,
pumpkin pie, apple press, peach cobbler, like all kinds of desserts, Like,
we'll probably do eight nine desserts. But I do like
the idea of having a birthday cake as part of that. However,
I will say this, I love Thanksgiving so much that
if one of my kid's birthdays fell on Thanksgiving, I
(03:18):
wouldn't care.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
No, I really wouldn't. I really wouldn't.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Because I just mean that you're not really acknowledging it.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
I mean i'd acknowledge it, but it wouldn't be that,
it wouldn't be the highlight.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Of the day.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
No, Because I love Thanksgiving. I love having everybody over,
I love having people there, and I wouldn't go, hey,
we're gonna make this about you. It'd be like happy birthday,
enjoy Thanksgiving. Like I would not be good at that.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Yeah, I think if all the people at your get
together who would not really know it was your child's birthday.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
And I'm fine with that. I'm fine with that.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
But as a kid whose birthday it is, I'd be furious.
But Kristen's saying no, Maybe.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
It's because she doesn't know any better.
Speaker 4 (03:59):
Maybe maybe it's also because it doesn't happen every year,
so that excites it when it does come around, like
maybe a leapier baby. Where like Mike has an annual
holiday birthday that.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
He absolutely hates.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Wait Mike does, Yeah, Valentine's Day.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
He hates it. Oh, that's a good day for a
birthday because you don't celebrate Valentine's True.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
He wants is for a nice steak dinner. But do
you know how many months in advance I have to book.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
That because everything's booked?
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Yes, Oh, well I'm sorry, it's an inconvenience to make
your husband a reservation.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
Well, then when we go to the dinner, everyone, everybody,
are you here for Valentine how.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Many years have you been dating?
Speaker 2 (04:40):
That?
Speaker 3 (04:40):
Would that? Would? That would drive me nuts? Can I
find people whose birthday it is tomorrow?
Speaker 4 (04:45):
Yes, there's a go oh tomorrow. Yeah, there's a lot
that call in when they get my assent for their birthday,
and it's always like on my day or the day
after before.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
I get so excited.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Seth wrightsmorrow quick if somebody, well, seth, but hold on
one second.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
If your birthdays tomorrow, will you call me? Please?
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Well, I guess anytime around if it ever falls on Thanksgiving?
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Britney's is tomorrow? Also, are you kidding me?
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Are they happy about it?
Speaker 2 (05:12):
I was not a big fan as a kid.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Yeah, see I would think not.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
And now I don't even care.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
All right?
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Eight days are for children?
Speaker 3 (05:21):
No, they are not? Except they are not. They are not.
If I don't I ask you this.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
If birthdays are for children, why did both of you
bring in gifts for Kristen Sees our kid?
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (05:32):
And I don't know an adult that makes more of
a big deal about a birthday than you.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
Birthdays are awesome. Birthdays are great.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Don't forget. He's got some gift rule coming up.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Normal gift that is true? That is that actually is
very true. I did. I asked you to write that down.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Yes, Christien, So remember.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
I think it was last week we were talking about
having a turkey for your birthday, which you I believe
you said.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Food is not a gift.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
A gift, correct, but you can like I get it
to turkey all the time, and I love it.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Not all the time, we'll.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
Get when it falls on. Thanks.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Well you're not having turkey today.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
Uh no tomorrow?
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Yeah, so but that's what I mean. So you don't
get it every day? All right? Will you find me some?
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Then everyone gets that turkey. They have brainwashed you. Yes,
your argument is almost the people who think it sucks.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
I get so much homemade food though I love it.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Oh you don't. It's like it's all of our birthdays.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
All right, find me some so I don't necessarily need
people whose birthday it is tomorrow, just Thanksgiving birthdays. We're
fall It has fallen right around that number. Yes, yeah,
eight six six to Elliott eight six six two three
five five four six eight.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
I do like the idea of the birthday cake. I
do like that.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
I looked up the years for her so it would
go twenty twenty. Oh, wait is it happening again next
year for you.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Yes, yeah, she's screaming.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Yes, I get I get pie.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Twenty twenty, twenty fifteen, twenty nine, ninety eight, ninety two
eighty seven.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
You had a big gap there between ninety eight and
two thousand and nine.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
That's a big gap.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
There, you go, like, I'll be real honest, if I
were going over to somebody's house tomorrow and it was
one of their birthdays, I wouldn't give a fly an
f I wouldn't.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
No. I love Thanksgiving and he didn't remember to bring
something the day before. But it can't. Yeah, you you
claim it's the best holiday.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
You can't let another quote unquote holiday affect that.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
I don't care that you're five.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Suck it up.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
No, I would be bad. I would be really bad.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
But you said you think it'd be fun to have
like a sheet cake tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Birthday cake, a birthday cake, Like if you wanted to
throw that on at the end of the meal and
it was like everybody celebrating, we're celebrating. I'll sing to them, okay,
a kid, yes, an adult tough titty the no no, no no,
but it's you can't you can't let you can't be
selfish and let your kid's birthday overshadow the great the
(08:25):
best holiday of the year, even if you're hosting, especially,
he said, if you're hosting, if his own shot, I.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
Wouldn't celebrate it. I would not celebrate it.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
You'd have to do it on the eve. You do
like Thanksgiving Eve.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Too, though I do. I love it tonight.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
It's a great night tonight. So you would just skip
their birthday like a leap year.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
Just move it like they do on a leap year.
Speaker 6 (08:52):
Just move it.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Just do it the day after.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Yeah, do it on Black Friday, Brown Friday.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Oh there's football now? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Yeah? Wait, where am I going?
Speaker 3 (09:07):
Kristen Line one? Hi Ellie at the morning?
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Hi? Hey, who's this?
Speaker 7 (09:14):
This is Taylor. I'm calling him because my birthday is
actually tomorrow now.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Growing up, as obviously you've had Thanksgiving birthdays in the past.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
Does it suck growing up? Like when you were a kid?
Did it suck when I was a kid?
Speaker 7 (09:27):
Who did? That's But honestly, looking back on it, I'm
kind of happy because I always got to be around
family and it is the greatest holiday ever.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Like, there's so much food, right, I also have so
much food and it has nothing to do with your birthday. No,
but I mean, can I ask you this when you're young.
When you were young, were you ever able to have
a birthday party?
Speaker 7 (09:51):
Absolutely not. It would be like my parents would bring
something in class before we actually.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Want to break Yeah right, yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
I was reading.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
I was reading something about hey, thank you, ma'am, about
people who have like Thanksgiving birthdays, and they do say like,
you can never have a party because even if it
was like like earlier this week, well, why would you
have it during the week. You're not going to have
it on the weekend because everybody's got family in town.
You could never have a party.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
You may never have one right around ther birthday.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Well you know it's not fun.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Hey it's May ninth, it's my birthday. I know my
birthday isn't until November. But you know, holidays.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Occasionally that does happen where maybe you're trying to match
up schedules for a sleepover and people have at that.
Speaker 5 (10:39):
That's the other thing I was going to say, there's
no sleepover. Well definitely not the day of No, No,
not at all. So yeah, some of the traditional things
throughout the window and she admitted in the moment it
was bad, yes, but upon reflection she got to spend
more time with family. And as we grow older and
(11:01):
people die off, you're like, yeah, I wish I would
have spent a couple more conversations with them.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
I will say this, the the people that I was
reading about who do have Thanksgiving birthdays, they did say
that there is one huge positive that nobody has mentioned
yet hasn't mentioned it the say again, Kristen hasn't mentioned it,
like Kristen mentioned like, oh I get pie, so do
why there's gonna be homemade food?
Speaker 3 (11:27):
Also at my house? Line one, Hi.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Ellie in the morning, three football games?
Speaker 6 (11:32):
Hello, Hey, who's this Donnie?
Speaker 3 (11:35):
Hey Donnie, what's going on? Dude?
Speaker 6 (11:37):
Yeah? My wife's birthdays tomorrow and sometimes it falls on Thanksgiving.
In the last two years we did it. Last night.
We had to go see Wicked and dress up for
her birthday and it was garbage.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Dress up like a like a witch or you're just
did you dress up as Esmeralda?
Speaker 2 (11:56):
What is its alphaba?
Speaker 3 (11:57):
Alphaba?
Speaker 6 (11:59):
We all had to wear like pink and green and
there was like ten of us, so we had like
half of the theater in the movie. The movie is
just trash. But I mean she loves it. But that's
what we've had to do with the last two years.
I'm not coming out with the third one of those.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Now does she love it?
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Or do you? Is it? Oh?
Speaker 6 (12:17):
Yeah, yeah, no, it's definitely not me. Definitely not me.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
God, that would suck. I didn't even think of that.
I didn't think of that.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
All right, very good, very here's your song, sir.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
People.
Speaker 4 (12:32):
For bringing something we must learn?
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Can mentioned it? Where am I going?
Speaker 6 (12:45):
Hi?
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Yellie of the morning?
Speaker 7 (12:48):
Good morning? Hey?

But now it has fallen on thank Well next.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
Year it'll be on Thanksgiving.
Speaker 6 (13:05):
Yep?
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Did you hate being a Thanksgiving baby?
Speaker 2 (13:09):
I absolutely love it.
Speaker 7 (13:10):
I loved it my whole life.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Why you can't have a party. You can't have sleepover.
Speaker 7 (13:17):
On the weekend?
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Again, it's not your birthday and family might.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Still be inside.
Speaker 8 (13:21):
Yeah yeah, but you're not gonna have a birth party
on uh during the week anyway.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Yeah, but no, Tyler's right, like Thanksgiving, like you got
family and friends and all that like. And by the way,
I just had thirty people at my house on Thursday.
I got to have all your girlfriends over on Saturday
to spend the night.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
I ain't got time for that.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Well, it was fun.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
So you're all into it. You're all into it, But
would you like what do you what would you do?
Like if it falls on Thanksgiving? What do you do
about birthday prizes?
Speaker 2 (13:59):
I'm just my whole FAA's there for my birthday and we.
Speaker 8 (14:01):
Still have cake on Thanksgiving and it's a great time.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
But what do you like there's no big moment where
you blow out the candles and you get your birthday presents.
Speaker 8 (14:11):
Yeah, we still do all that.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
Uh no, it's Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
I'm not I'm not doing that after dinner. Oh I
just went out for a foot walk and I'm still high.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
And there's a million dishes.
Speaker 6 (14:25):
We'll still have your turkey, we promise, all right.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
All right, maybe I'm wrong.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
By the way, Still, what is the the only benefit
that I found? You have your Uh you're off of
work in school for your birthday.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
That's true when you're young, it's fun to have your
birthday during at school.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
Oh never mind.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Then, so your one positive is a negative.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
Yeah, I guess I didn't think of that. I'd rather
have the day off though.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
No, you don't when you're a kid, I guess, like
when you're young young.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Yeah, even weekend birthday it's a bummer.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Yeah. No, I guess so because middle and high school
you get your locker decorated the Oh yeah, I guess
I wasn't thinking about that because like my younger one
is a summer birthday. Yeah, and so like they would
have like one day at the end of the school
year where it'd be like, all right, this is for
all the summer kids, and nobody cared.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
No, and that's really hard to have a party when
it's the summer birthday because people.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
People are traveling and they're at town. Yeah, we just
said people didn't want to do it. Where am I going?
Line three?
Speaker 3 (15:29):
Hi Ellie in the morning?
Speaker 8 (15:32):
Hi, good morning.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Hey, who's ass?
Speaker 8 (15:35):
My name is Floretta.
Speaker 6 (15:36):
Hey Loretta, how are you?
Speaker 3 (15:39):
I'm good? Are you a Thanksgiving birthday?
Speaker 8 (15:43):
I am? Yam actually me and my one of my
best friends. Her birthday is small also, oh wow, love
it or hate it?
Speaker 7 (15:52):
I love it.
Speaker 8 (15:53):
It's like my favorite time of the year. So I
don't mind having any Thanksgiving birthday. And my parents never
made me celebrate my birthday. If it was on Thanksgiving,
they would honor it, but they would also do something
else in addition, so it's not like I had to
have my party or you know what I mean. They
would have family over. If family was in town, we
would do a separate celebration.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
I mean, I get that. I get that, which is
great because I don't want.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
I don't want to be a guest at your house
for Thanksgiving and then find out, like you know, like,
oh now I got to do a birthday too, right right.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Right? So I liked it.
Speaker 8 (16:30):
I've never minded it, and I love Thanksgiving is my
favorite holiday.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
It's the greatest birthday.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Yeah no, it's not because it's also mine and it
has nothing to do with your birthday. Oh yeah, it's
got nothing to do with that, all right, Very good,
very good.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
I appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Thank you, ma'am from Snapchat. I would never let them
treat Thanksgiving dinner as my birthday meal.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
No you can't, because well Kristen loves it. But the no,
because I want, I want like even still like I do,
I still make a deal out of my birthday.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
But I get whatever I want for my birthday dinner.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Sometimes Jackie will make something yeah, or she'll go like,
where do you want.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
To go for your birthday?
Speaker 2 (17:13):
And by the way, the majority of children hate Thanksgiving dinner.
That is true the fingers. It's all retrospect for you, Chris.
I asked my kids last night what their favorite part
of the meal was. My daughter said the bread, rolls,
rolls freely said rolls, and my son said corn.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
I mean, I.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Do like corn, the one thing you could literally forget
about and still have on the table because it's just
a frozen bag of off the cop kernels.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Right, Okay, but that's this thing.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
Great.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
I'm glad we put all this time in for you
guys to eat and corn.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
No, but I guess you're right, like when you think
back as a kid.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Although it's weird because like, my kids love Thanksgiving, but
this is all they've ever known.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Wait until they have one without menino.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
Oh, they know. They know that tomorrow is gonna suck.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
My kids are used to. I guess the food being
prepared below par
