If you can't find your steel wool.

Make an aluminum foil ball scrubber Christmas from a big
sheet of foil into a ball and it scrubs burned
pans like magic, and you just throw it away after.

I like that movie.

You can throw it away like you're playing basketball.

Speaker 2 (02:30):
You go Kobe.

Speaker 4 (02:31):
And for casserole dishes with baked on cheese, try the
dryer sheet overnight soak method. Fill it with hot water
and one used used dryer sheet and leave overnight. Everything
wipes off with zero scrubbing because the fabric softener breaks
down the protein.

Wow, Okay, how money's worth?

Speaker 2 (04:52):
All right, Fraser, what are we ranking Thanksgiving side dishes? Well,
you can't count dessert because dessert's always no No, those are
desert that these are side okay, not rushmore. Well, when
done right, stuffing is the way to go. Why you
make that face, there's just.

Speaker 4 (05:10):
It doesn't look appealing, like it doesn't look good.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
I'm surprised you don't like it because there's no meat
and it's really it's all carved. It's really I know.

But It's just this looks like when done right, stuffing
or dressing, whatever you want to call it is number
one for me when done right. Yes, I also like
those like that casserole kind of green bean green bean castle.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
Yeah, those are pretty good.

Speaker 3 (05:32):
It was pretty good. Then I'd probably go cranberry. Okay, well,
cranberry soberry. And as far as the fourth, what's some
good old fashioned mashed potatoes gravy or no gravy gravy?

Speaker 5 (05:43):
Okay? You know you?

Speaker 4 (05:44):
Saying all this stuff makes me realize that Thanksgiving is
my least favorite holiday for food.

Speaker 2 (05:49):
For food.

Speaker 4 (05:50):
But if I have to pick one, sweet potatoes or
yams candy, yeah up at the top.

two on their press tour. First of all, that fan
was just a little excited and kind of wanted just
to try to lunge out to maybe uh slab a
high five or try to get a hug, but of
course that's not cool.

her from what, I don't know.
