Speaker 1 (00:00):
Thanksgivulending story.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Since we're not going to be on next week for
Trending News on Thursday, because we're going to be off
on that day, we'll be running a replay show.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
I want to do some Thanksgiving stuff.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Thanksgiving will cost five dollars and fifty two cents per
person this year if you are looking to I don't
know how they figure this out. So for the third
straight year, they say it's dropped, even though a lot
of items have gone up. They're saying that the price
(00:36):
of Turkey's has gone up a little bit, but at
the price of some of the other stuff hasn't.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
But let me see how they do this. Tell me,
because I don't know how you eat. You ain't going
back to.
Speaker 4 (00:45):
A second well unless there's like a ton of people
that are coming. So the numbers divided by a lot.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
They based this based on the needs of a Thanksgiving
meal for ten people, no frills, no alcohol. Okay, so
this would not be at Channon's house. This just turkey, cranberries, stuffing,
and pie. They claim that the average cost this year
will be fifty five dollars and eighteen cents, or around
five dollars and fifty two cents per person. And this
(01:12):
is obviously not a family like mine that eats a bunch,
but they work it based on the price of all
the materials that you need to get, Like, for instance,
the average price of a sixteen pound bird is twenty
one dollars and fifty cents.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Now, it's not one of.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Those birds that are like organic or anything, or raised
on a funny farm, you know, like where they they
have some of these places like Chelsea. One year goes, hey,
I need you to go to market Plaza to go
pick up the turkey this year. I go, why am
I going to market Plaza. Well, they brought turkeys in
that are you know, hypoallergenic.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
Organic and they can roam the field.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
And I said, I'm like, I don't want one of those.
I want a butter ball. I want they struggle turkey
they make. I want a turkey. I don't care how
that turkey came to that, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
They've all been through, they're dead, they all got they died.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
I want that thing pumped with every bit of butter
and right like they call them butterballs for a reason.
Don't give me any kind of fresh turkey like that.
They killed right there and pluck the feathers out. I
want frozen. You're trying to tackle the turkey. I want
to tackle that turkey. What are the best and worst
(02:26):
days to drive for Thanksgiving? Triple A said that they
expect a record number of Americans to travel this Thanksgiving.
They predict that the worst traffic travel days will be
Tuesday and Wednesday of next week, then the Sunday and
Monday following Thanksgiving will be a bad one. Triple A
expects a record number of Americans will travel for the holiday,
(02:48):
where they are expecting just under eighty two million people
will travel this year, which is up two million from
last year. They say that six million will probably fly,
two point five million will take buses, trains, or other
modes of transportation.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
Yeah, they said, Sunday, November thirtieth is going if you
can avoid traveling that day, that's the day that is
going to be the busiest by far.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
In general, the worst time is to be on the
road Tuesday of next week from noon until nine pm,
and then Wednesday from eleven am till eight pm. The
worst times to head home Sunday the thirtieth, from eleven
am till eight pm. So pretty much that entire day.
The best day to travel will be Thursday. They say
on Thanksgiving there's not that much traffic, which is true
(03:34):
because I've gone down for the Turkey trot and the
parade and stuff, and it's pretty light travel. Like I
always think that, I always think it's gonna be crazy.
You know, it's going to be a really bad travel
day if you're heading downtown on Friday for the Christmas
tree lightings.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Tomorrow is tomorrow, right.
Speaker 5 (03:49):
So hard to get into my parking structure already because
so many people shut down.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Oh yeah, what did they shut down in Detroit for
the thing?
Speaker 5 (03:58):
I mean, it's different, they've been it up, but pretty
much all around campus marshas like as you shoot downwood word,
it stops after a minute.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Half of Americans say that they now need to game
plan just to survive the holiday dinners.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
This is actually kind of interesting. I didn't know people
do this. They say.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Roughly fifty percent of people will game plan when they
arrive at the table and then what their conversation will be,
thinking that there's going to be tense moments.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Absolutely.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
They say that topics that they dread are obviously politics,
but finances appearance or wait, and then religion is on
the list. In the midst of what is now kind
of time where people start having, you know, issues fighting
with their families. They a lot of times, they say,
they get into a fight of Thanksgiving which leads to
them not doing Christmas with a lot of the families.
(04:48):
They say, stare clear of things like drinking too much
before dinner. Avoid that and then do it after dinner.
And if you avoid it, usually the conference doesn't happen
at the table. It will happen usually if you guys
are just sitting around on a couch watching football or
something afterwards. I have never had it that bad with
family where I had to on the way over to
(05:11):
somebody's house or before somebody comes to my house, go
all right, how am I gonna deal with this person?
Speaker 3 (05:17):
I'm not going. I'm not inviting them, but I'm not going. Yeah, man,
I don't have people all right. I know, Uncle Paul
about to have something to say today.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
You already different where.
Speaker 4 (05:25):
You're like, oh, uncle Paul, Like this sounds like if
it's a really serious thing, where you're gonna be miserable
for four hours.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
I mean, depending on the type of person I don't
nobody want to hear how fat they done got?
Speaker 1 (05:36):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
I know for a fact my grandma gonna have something
to say. My dad used always be like, you look
like you can move to chains. Think about like football,
like you could get a first down?
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Like he was like, you can move to change right now.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Here are some of the most dreaded conversations that people
will bring up at the holiday table. Do you have
a girlfriend? What did you do to your hair? When
do you think you'll go back to work? Why don't
you ever go to church with us? Who did you
vote for? And why did you invite Anna Rob Tomorrow?
(06:16):
I might make a Bingo card so I can just
check off every time. My favorite Thanksgiving we ever had
was there was a Thanksgiving I think it was during
COVID and Chelsea Like we pulled cans of beans out
of the cupboard and stuff and we were playing like
games on the Center Island and we had so much
wine that remember Ellen, our old producer, like threw up
(06:39):
that that time.
Speaker 5 (06:40):
Sounds like.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
It was actually a lot of fun.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
This year is going to be fun too, because of
this year is going to be Jacob coming to town.
And for the first time ever, he's bringing his boyfriend Chris.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
So that's how are you gonna let them sleep in
the same room, because that's your rules for Joe. When
his girl came, they Mary decans leave together tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
You need to ask I'll see that on the air.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Let's ask that, U, because I don't know what the
answer is now, I'll say that for tomorrow, because is Chelsea,
Because you would not let Joe and Alissa stay in
the same room with each other. Still, I don't think
he is.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
Maybe they're getting married.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Well, now that they're getting married, maybe I don't know.
He was a banger probably in the house too. It's
every guy's dream and every you know dream of you
to bring him back to your family house and to
like sleep in your family bed. You never dreamed that dream.
You never wanted to take him to your little kid
bed and like you never wanted that.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Oh, I'm sorry I didn't have those dreams and.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Have them look at your like, you know, Michael Jordan
posters or Lebron posters in your case, Donathan Taylor Thomas,
Jonathan Taylor Thomas post me, all right, have a great day.
