Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's time for stacks and hacks. I have stacks enrich

(00:02):
as live hacks, stacks and stacks of information. A poll
found that would you factor in food, travel, and other expenses,
Thanksgiving will cost the average American nearly how much?

Speaker 2 (00:13):
How much you think four hundred dollars, Nope, one hundred
and seventy one dollars, one thousand dollars.

Speaker 1 (00:19):
One thousand dollars. Yeah, I mean, it can break it
down for you if you want.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
I wasn't.

Speaker 3 (00:23):
I wasn't.

Speaker 1 (00:24):
I wasn't prepared for that.

Speaker 4 (00:25):
Actually, maybe the travel probably the most. And then obviously
food costs have gone up unless you used to take
advantage of like I think Walmart, Target, and Amazon, they
all have really great deals for Thanksgiving food.

Speaker 1 (00:34):
Let me break it down for your travel. That includes
things like gas, plane tickets, hotels, if you're flying with kids.
There's a lot more than that one hundred and seventy
five dollars for food. That's high because a lot of
us do multiple Thanksgivings. Now fifty nine percent agreed Thanksgiving
Day has turned into Thanksgiving season. One hundred and ten
dollars on drinks, not just one Thanksgiving eighty three dollars
on decorations two hundred and ninety one dollars and other

(00:55):
random stuff. We spend almost three hundred dollars in miscellaneous
expenses around the Thanksgiving holiday. A fight over Thanksgiving turned
into a shootout at a grocery store North Carolina on Thursday.
One guy was arguing with the cashier over the price
of a turkey. Then another guy stepped in, got into
a fist fight with him, and they both had guns.
One shot. One guy got shot in the arm, the

(01:16):
other guy did. In fact, I have audio of it.

Speaker 3 (01:18):
Yeah, it's really crazy the audio. But here you got
a gun.

Speaker 2 (01:30):
That's why I'm kind of glad my family doesn't do
like your traditional Thanksgiving because there's no arguing with people
at the grocery stores are.

Speaker 1 (01:36):
Getting, you know, let down when there's no more marshmallows
for your sweet potatoes. So you guys do hot dogs, right?
Do chili dogs? Yeah? That's pretty great.

Speaker 2 (01:44):
Chili dogs are awesome.

Speaker 1 (01:45):
We just don't like Thanksgiving food isn't really are jam
You don't have to buy those at the grocery store.
We do, but like they're in stock.

Speaker 4 (01:52):
Nobody's fighting over the chili dogs.

Speaker 1 (01:54):
Because I was trying to get the bird, you know,
get the chili dogs. A guy with a suspicious bulge
was trying to smuggle to parakeets in from Mexico by
hiding them in his underwear. Twenty two year old guy
in Greece is fighting for his life after friends say
he tried to swallow an entire hamburger without chewing it
just to be funny. Oh yeah, that's not funny, honey.

(02:15):
That would be tough to do. Kyle, you have young,
young children.

Speaker 3 (02:19):
I do.

Speaker 1 (02:20):
There is a survey or research done. According to a therapist.
He says it's hard sometimes to get your kid to
answer questions like when you pick them up from the school.
Oh my gosh. Yes, According to a therapist, here are
questions you could ask your kids after school that would
get a better response. What was the best part of
your day. What's the mistake you learned from today? Who

(02:41):
were you proud of today. What's one thing that could
have made your day better? Who did you help today?
What was the most interesting thing you learned today? What's
something new you'd like to try.

Speaker 4 (02:51):
I love all of those, but I have realized that
with my kids, I don't know if this is all kids.
I have to wait at least until dinner time. It's
and I think about it, like after a long day
at work, which is kind of like what they go
through at school.

Speaker 1 (03:04):
It's a long day at school.

Speaker 4 (03:05):
I don't want to talk to anyone, I dont want
to answer questions, so I kind of give them their
space to decompress a little bit, and then at dinner lately,
that's what we've been doing, like what was the best
part of your day?

Speaker 1 (03:13):
What was the worst day that doctor Lehman. We used
to have in here all the time, he said one time,
because I was going through with my kids. Hey, hou's school. Fine, Yeah,
He's like, don't ask him anything, just wait and they'll
just start telling you. And they do. They do. If
we just sit there at dinner or something like that,
and then it just starts spewing out. Things starts spewing out. Anyway,
So this is another story, I guess. Reddit asked a

(03:35):
bunch of straight men, straight guys, who do they think
are hot and attractive other straight men? Right, So there's
a list of actors that are straight men say are
sexy and hot. Brad Pitt still Brad Pistoner nine, a
list I put him up on the list. One of
the guys on the list I put up there on
is Idris Elbow. He's number eighteen. Yeah he's good. Look
you God, David Beckham, Kenna Reeves, Denzel, Jason Momoa.

Speaker 2 (03:59):
Don't see Denzel, Chriss, Chris Hemsworth, best guys, Thank you.

Speaker 1 (04:06):
No Chris Hemsworth, No, Chris Pine, Nope no Chris Pine,
Michael b Jordan me No, Brian Gostling. Ryan Gosling's on
the list. Number one on the list is Chris Evans.
Chris Evans's pretty dreamy. Well as you should.

Speaker 2 (04:23):
Okay, well, you know. Thanksgiving week is what we like
to call the super Bowl of lost luggage because it
happens in traveling. It's going to be a lot because
things are kind of coming back online. So here's a
trick nobody does, but everybody should, so pay attention to this.
Take a picture of the inside of your suitcase before
you zip it up, lay it open, Snap one photo.

(04:44):
Keep that because if the airline misplaces your bag and
this week they're going to read that your bag is
probably gonna get lost at some point, you show them
the picture.

Speaker 1 (04:52):
It speeds up the claim process.

Speaker 2 (04:53):
Actually, and it proves what's inside, so they're way way
more likely to find it fast. And bonus is somebody
acts adent walks off with your bag because everybody in
their grandma travels with the same black roller. Now, now
you've got visual proof of what the inside looks like.
Nobody else packs like you. You've got the picture, You're
good to go. It's the easiest and cheapest insurance policy
you can have for your luggage, So try that. That
