Yeah, I'm pretty low.

And if you get, there's all kinds of deals.

Like, when you buy some piece of new Apple thing, you get like three free months with it.

We only watched Shrinking, and I watched Severance on there.

It was really good.

Yeah, Severance is all I have it for.

Ted Lasso.

Oh, yeah, and Ted Lasso.

Studio's good, if you haven't watched it.

Yeah, it's good, too.

Is that the Jennifer Aniston show?

Mm-mm.

Oh, it's the...

Wrong.

Seth Rogen.

Yeah.

And his other show, Platonic, is good.

I haven't watched that one.

That's pretty good.

He's getting all the Apple money.

Y'all better watch that task.

No.

That's good.

I haven't even started watching Peacemaker yet.

Bro, that Alabama prison documentary.

Is it good?

That much.

It's something.

Is it?

Yes.

I don't want to watch it.

I'm afraid it's going to be sad.

Yeah, it's really bad.

Really bad.

They didn't come to Walker County for that?

They came close.

They came to Donaldson.

Same guy that did the jinx, right?

They did it.

Yeah, I think so.

Yeah, I haven't watched it yet, but I want to.

Yeah, I watched it last night.

It's a heavy start to the show.

It is.

I need a hot dog.

That's your comfort.

This makes me want a hot dog real bad.

Makes me want a hot dog real bad.

Hey, welcome to Hootin' to Holler.

Thanks.

Hoot, hoot.

I'm not, I wasn't hollering to you.

Oh.

You've been here.

I like to feel welcome.

Walking 10 minutes.

You missed your, let's start at six tonight.

Show up at 6.30.

Six.

That's when we got here, wasn't it?

Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

That's absolutely not true.

We got to have our vehicles at the same time.

Do it.

You're going to be embarrassed.

You have not been here for 30 minutes.

We walked in here at six o'clock.

Your clock is all messed up.

With him.

I walked.

Brad came in here a full 15 minutes before you.

Ah.

He was rummaging in his truck.

I believe that.

Yeah, yeah.

I was looking for a snack.

You were across the street at the BP at 6 o'clock.

10-2.

Yeah.

To be fair, he had a valid reason.

Tomato, tomato.

Liquor lime, gassata lime.

Speaking of foods.

I'm hungry.

What a segue.

Hey, I got one slice of cold pizza left in there.

It's hitting the spot right now.

Thanksgiving's coming up.

It's a big day it's one of my favorite holidays because it's the only really holiday we have that centers entirely around food and it's when the Hobby Lobby decoration that says give thanks is actually relevant.

That's a good point.

Good point.

Thank you.

That is.

Never thought about that.

I thought you were saying about what decorations they put out at that point.

Yeah.

Probably Valentine's Day.

I think Christmas is out.

I thought you were fixing to talk about how excited you was.

They dropping that Thanksgiving, baby.

I could do a list of 10 reasons why I hate Hobby Lobby.

Do people actually buy Christmas decorations in August when Walmart starts moving out?

There's a whole.

Psycho pass.

There's a whole group of people who go to Hobby Lobby and buy little knick-knack trinket things, and sometimes they'll just sell it straight up as is, and sometimes they'll alter it a little bit, but they'll just go to Etsy or wherever else and sell it there, marked up.

Really?

Same thing.

They just go in there, and they know it'll sell, and they just buy them out.

No kidding.

Yeah.

Crazy.

What a business idea.

They make money doing that?

Apparently, and they keep coming back, so apparently they do.

Their margins are slim because I see people, I guess because I've watched too many of them on Instagram, but I'll get these like resellers.

They'll show how they, they, they hunt down the, the discount section at Walmart or whatever and they pull out their app and they can scan the barcode on it and it'll show like what this sells for on Amazon and then you put your price in and it'll show like what your margins are going to be and then you can go ahead and like, commit to sell those on Amazon.

And you just box all that up and you ship it to the Amazon Fulfillment Center.

I saw people doing that with mason jars.

They're like, I got this 12-pack of mason jars at Walmart for $9.99.

I sold them on Amazon for $20.

Yep.

That's a good margin.

That's called doubling up right there.

Yeah.

It's usually not that.

Usually it's like a buy this discount thing at Walmart and sell it and I might get a dollar.

I found this spatula on clearance.

So you're selling a lot.

You're having to go buy a lot i hate it because you're they go in there and they clean out like the all the clearance stuff but a lot of it is toys and and especially around here man those clearance toys that may be the only toy some of these kids gonna get like why are you why are you snatching up why are you snatching up these kids toys you're selling straight from the poor kids when you do that dingy side hustles yeah i don't know how you stop it i don't know how you stop the resellers you can't, Well, that kind of stops itself eventually when it becomes worthless.

That's true.

Yeah.

Amazon, please stop sending this crap to us.

Yeah.

You can only buy so many things off clearance at Walmart.

Now's the time.

This is when they start moving stuff out to get ready for Christmas.

Hey, a Dollar General is where people go crazy over the clearance stuff.

You'll see like a woman out there, the entire time you're in there getting stuff, she just like a pack rat going through the little, they put the carts out, you know, or the baskets.

Just complete junk in them.

Yeah, I don't even.

And people filling a buggy up full of it.

It'd be like.

Old chapstick.

I mean, it's the end of the year here.

Yeah, you'll find like Easter candy in there.

Yeah.

I don't want.

Oh.

Go to Ollie's if you want that.

Yeah.

At least they stock it.

Ollie's is sick.

It's literally sick.

I've caught several diseases going into Ollie's.

You ever notice Ollie's the further back you go to the store, the nastier it gets?

Yeah.

It's like a gradient of nastiness.

I don't think I've been into Ollie's.

What?

Bro.

There's one in Jasper, right?

Yeah.

Over by Big Lots?

Yeah.

Or is it Big Lots?

It's next to Big Lots.

Yeah.

Big Lots is back, right?

Yeah.

That's what they say.

For now.

Yeah.

They had a whole going out of business cell.

They fired everybody.

Everybody, yeah.

Switcheroo.

Yeah, and then we opened it back up.

Just kidding.

Sike.

We just couldn't get rid of y'all.

Yeah.

Shut the whole business down.

Yeah, you got to go.

It's definitely like at the very front, there's always a kid's book or just books in general.

I got a whole book section.

Yeah.

And it's organized somewhat.

And you think, that's a cool store.

And then you go a little bit further back and then toys and stuff, it's decent.

And then you go further back and it's like, why are there crockpots and crowbars on the same aisle?

What is this Kentucky Derby glass set doing here?

And then you go further back and then it's just like, all right, there's no boxes.

Everything's just broken.

And why do we have so many rugs?

And the next thing you know, you're in that section of that fake movie he made up.

Yeah.

With the mannequins.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It wasn't real.

I can't remember.

I don't remember either.

By the way.

I don't.

Oh.

Nah.

It was fake.

Oh, okay.

It wasn't real.

And then carpet.

I want to force you to realize just a whole carpet.

So many rugs.

Oh, man.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I'm going to buy 10 different colors, piece me something together.

You could, yeah.

A couple of years ago, there was this thing where people were stealing the heads off of the LeBron James dolls.

I went to Ollie's and they had a whole roll of LeBron James dolls with no heads on them.

Why people want just the head?

I used to get energy from there too.

It was just, it was like a little TikTok trend.

Like they would film themselves going there and pinch the head off the LeBron doll.

And they were selling, I think they were selling them on eBay for like a couple hundred dollars a season or something.

That's crazy.

LeBron heads?

Yeah.

I saw something the other day.

You know those LeBooBoo's?

Those little devil-looking bunny critters.

So I made a one that looks like LeBron.

What is this?

A light blue?

God.

You don't know the LeBooBoo?

No.

Lucky you.

You've probably seen them.

You can get some bootleg ones at that BP across the street.

Every gas station has them.

It's so great.

And they don't even try.

It's got their actual brand name on it.

That's how you've, that's like, it's become, it's the fidget spinner from like six, seven years ago.

Yeah.

Like, this is the new thing.

So it'll be gone by next year.

I guess it's died kind of now, right?

What, LeBooBoo's?

Yeah.

I only go by how crazy my daughter is about them, about things at the time.

Yeah.

Are these like the evil cousins of Beanie Babies?

No, they're like a, what'd you compare them to, really?

Are they stuffed?

They're stuffed.

They're like a teddy bear shape, kind of, but they got like a hard plastic face with like these fangs and teeth and stuff.

Like a glow worm.

But even the knockoffs are like 40 bucks or something.

Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

The new ones are like $200.

Oh, my gosh.

Yeah.

That's not a knickknack.

But that's because of TikTok, too, I believe, right?

Yeah, the dog.

Didn't have a...

Oh.

Got super popular on there, yeah.

Paddy wag, give your daughter a...

A little boo-boo.

That could really be confused for something else.

Yeah.

We got off the rails pretty hard there.

Thanksgiving, coming up.

Talking about food earlier.

At one point, we were talking about food.

And I prepared a list in preparation for Thanksgiving of 10 things that I don't ever want to see on the table at Thanksgiving.

Now, let me preface this by saying I am a proud champion of Southern Thanksgiving, which is just about anything goes.

Like, the idyllic Thanksgiving painting you'd see of, like, matching fine china and, like, a perfect spread on the table.

Everybody has the same chair.

Does not exist at any Thanksgiving that I have ever been to.

No, no, no.

Most people can't even fit at the table.

Yeah.

You definitely got mismatched chairs.

That's because we grew up not knowing rich people.

Folding chairs.

Exactly.

You're sitting on a cooler.

Kids are just sitting on the ground most of the time.

Yeah.

I'll be eating like this, sitting on the floor, trying to get my food on the table.

And as far as the food goes at these, pretty much anything goes.

I understand that there's a lot of people that have their go-to dish they bring to, doesn't matter what the occasion is, Thanksgiving, Easter, Christmas, funeral, fifth Sunday supper, that's their thing.

They bring it, and they bring it on Thanksgiving, and that's fine, too.

But there are some things.

Paper plates.

Yep.

Yeah, actually, yeah.

Yeah, I don't want fine china.

I want them chinette plates, the big oval ones.

Nothing hurts worse than being asked, what do I need to bring?

Drinks.

Yeah, you get a two liter or two.

Bring the Cokes.

Not good.

Okay.

Thanks.

You're really bad if it's just, I think the worst is ice.

Yeah.

I think there's still some trust in the South if they say bring the tea.

That's important.

Because you could make it.

You could screw that up pretty easy and ruin Thanksgiving.

Oh I'd be getting Milo's that's the go to if they put that on me for sure oh yeah yep and it sells out have you ever seen Walmart day before Thanksgiving the Milo's tea, yeah it does I never thought about that but it absolutely does it's out we buy our Chinette plates we'll probably buy them in the next couple weeks.

Because they'll sell out.

Those big oval ones are...

That's the best.

You can put so much food on those things.

They're so strong.

They are strong.

I just walk around with one hand.

I know.

You ain't ever worried about the thing.

That's not folding on you.

No, it's like the commercials.

They dump them on, accidentally dump them in these Legos or something.

Stupid commercials.

You know they make those in Alabama?

Really?

That's what I've been told.

The ones that fold or the ones that don't fold?

Oh, the Chinettes, the good ones.

Oh, yes.

Not Dixie.

I don't know.

Maybe they make those too.

They're probably owned by the same people.

Same conglomerate.

Spitting out different plates.

Let me go and get this one out of the way first.

The first one, number one here, because this is the one everybody would expect to be on this list.

And I can't not put it on the list.

So I'm just going to get out of the way.

And that's salads.

Oh.

Just straight up.

Who's doing that?

Rich people.

Really?

Rich people.

This is, of course, it's not the day to be healthy at all.

So I don't want a salad.

If I can, and what is a salad?

Because that is tricky in the salad because we have a lot of things like casseroles, essentially that we call salads.

I'll get to that in a second.

But my criteria is if it's a salad, if I can eat that entire bowl and still be in a calorie deficit for the day.

If it's mostly lettuce.

That's it.

That's a salad.

That's like zero calories.

Yeah, that's a salad.

Now.

Good.

Oh, well, I was just going to say casserole was like, my mom makes a broccoli salad and that's just coated in like sugar and nuts.

I don't know.

It's good.

Broccoli salad smacks.

But that's like, that's, it's called salad, but that is in no way healthy for me.

Potato salad, not salad.

Pasta salad.

No.

Pasta salad is so terrible.

Don't tell my family that.

They love it.

Yeah.

Cold pasta with mayonnaise.

I can tell I married into that family because I hate it.

You have pasta salad on the Thanksgiving table?

Sometimes.

Whoa.

Yeah, well, you broke one of the rules we'll get to in a second.

Well, I was just going to ask people who are doing this.

Is this a pre-meal or they eat it with their Thanksgiving dinner?

I think they eat it with.

There's no pre-Thanksgiving dinner.

That's not so wild.

There's no salad.

You fast.

Right.

You fast until 12 o'clock.

Because we got a good one.

I'm not allowed in the kitchen.

Like, we can't eat until we have everybody there.

So sometimes, you know, the plan is we'll eat at noon, but then you'll end up being at one because you're waiting on somebody.

And I'll just starve.

Oh, yeah.

And those are the worst.

And you've been smelling that food since, like, the afternoon before.

That's my family.

It's us.

That's when you sneak in and grab a roll when nobody's looking.

Oh, I do.

Yeah.

Grab a turkey leg.

Yeah, salad's got to go.

Don't do it.

Hey, Brittany, just comment on this video and let us know if we ever had pasta salad at Thanksgiving.

Thank you.

I wouldn't admit to it.

Don't do that.

Also, I'm just going to bounce off that one right there since you said sneak in there and get a roll.

The second thing I should never see on the table at Thanksgiving is Texas toast.

No.

Or anything that is not in the roll family.

Black gold.

So, like, just the dinner rolls that come in a little, like, cardboard tray from all what you're talking about, just the heat and serve, brown and serve, those rolls.

I like the ones you don't even have to eat.

Those are fine.

Yeah, I could eat those.

Some of them Hawaiian.

Those Hawaiian rolls, fantastic.

My favorite, the crescent rolls.

I love crescent roll.

Yeah.

Crescent rolls good.

But don't, I don't want slices of bread.

I don't want Texas toast.

Yeah, don't put no loaf bread out there, man.

Don't want any of that.

Yeah, I want roll.

We got to save that loaf bread for leftovers.

That's exactly right.

Yeah, that's for Sammy's the next day.

Very true.

How do you feel about cornbread?

I'm fine with that.

No one ever does it, though.

It's in its own separate category, but fine with cornbread.

I'm not going to turn it down.

Oh, no, cornbread, that definitely fits Thanksgiving.

Brittany did.

That is a solid bread.

Brittany did, like, yeast rolls and, like, the corn muffin.

Yeah, yeah.

She did those one year.

Like a little cornbread muffin?

Yeah.

That was good.

That thing's whole butter so nice.

What about monkey bread?

All day, son.

Yeah.

You better believe it.

On the table with your turkey?

I don't care, yeah.

Turkey.

I'll eat it first just so it don't get gone.

Turkey.

You don't know how that monkey bread is at our Thanksgiving, boy.

You don't really have monkey bread at the table?

Yeah, my aunt makes it.

And if you don't get it soon, it'll be gone.

You better go ahead and get a plate of dessert while you got your plate.

With your turkey.

I did not touch on this list at all dessert because I do think dessert's absolutely free for all on Thanksgiving.

You can have anything.

Yeah.

I mean, I know people are like, sweet potato pie, pumpkin pie, pecan pie yes i would like whatever all three of dessert i was gonna say whatever it is i'm getting whatever except oh i almost put ice cream on here i don't really want ice cream but also, i can't turn i'd never turn if you put eyes you said we got ice cream in the freezer i would put a big old scoop of that vanilla ice cream that is an apple pie condiment or pecan pie dessert is where the bad cooks try to show out a little bit usually and you see some weird stuff yeah, Like, just a bunch of chocolate chips and marshmallows all piled and melded together or something, you know?

And I'll still.

I'll try.

I'll take a stab at it.

Always.

Yeah.

Like, it's sugar.

It's got to be good.

Yeah.

But, yeah, you see some weird ones.

For sure.

The food food is kind of staples, usually.

Yeah, Thanksgiving.

Except for these.

We're a banana pudding family.

Like, there's always going to be banana pudding on the staples.

I guess that's our monkey bread.

Yeah.

Brittany's aunt's banana pudding.

I don't like.

Banana pudding from, like, a barbecue restaurant.

But her banana pudding, I'll eat it.

Homemade banana pudding.

You ever had Dreamland?

Yeah.

Banana pudding?

You said, I don't like this.

It ain't bad.

Yeah, there's a couple barbecue joints.

But the best a barbecue joint can do on banana pudding is good, not bad.

It'll never, like, be like, I crave it.

Like a relative's banana pudding.

Her stuff.

Homemade always.

It's not even close.

It's a different league.

Let me say something real quick about banana pudding.

Please.

I was watching this guy's YouTube channel.

He's from L.A.

i think and so i don't expect a lot in this regard from him but they were traveling to the south for something car show or something like that i can't remember what i was watching but they're at a barbecue restaurant it was like a moe's type of barbecue place i don't remember exactly what it was and he had a big old thing of banana pudding he was like this is pretty good but it's not bucky's banana pudding but this is okay and i'm thinking bucky's probably got some good banana pudding it's not bad he's like it's weird it's got it's thick and it's got the wafers is like this kind of strange like no that's banana pudding that's what that is and then on the on his way back he stops at bucky's and comes out and is eating it and it's like the jello pudding where it's just smooth pudding it is and he's like this is the best banana pudding anywhere like you know bucky's have no idea what you're talking about he's got a pretty standard what you might get at a lot of barbecue restaurants, especially chain, for sure.

It's not even the same league as homemade barbecue.

Yeah, and he was confused by the meringue stuff on top of it.

Yeah.

He was like, it's got like whipped eggs or something on top of it, and it's okay.

He didn't know what meringue was?

He didn't know what meringue was.

Go back to California, boy.

Yeah, get out of here.

But I was just like, I didn't waste my time commenting on it.

He probably, yeah, he's not had good meringue.

He doesn't appreciate, Ring's hard to make.

I'm not going to make it.

Yeah.

Brandon does.

Sons and Jasper has a pretty good pineapple pudding.

Same thing, except it's pineapple.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I've had that.

I'm fine with it.

I just need to be warned ahead of time this is not banana if I can't see a little pineapple chunks in it.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I don't venture out too much with my pudding.

You're not a chocolate pudding guy?

I do like a good chocolate pudding.

Are you a chocolate pudding on the Chinese buffet guy?

No.

No.

What about a Jell-O pudding pop?

Yes.

Can you still get pudding pops?

Yeah.

Bill Cosby ain't talking about them, but probably, yeah.

They're out there probably.

God, those are good.

Move on.

I'll just keep on going around those.

Well, this is another one here.

This is not a food, but it is something that you might put on the table, but I'm saying that it has no place on the table.

And that's...

A dog?

Yeah.

It depends.

Number three is spoons.

Spoons.

Spoons.

You don't like spoons on the table?

Listen, think about it right now.

When you eat Thanksgiving, is there a spoon anywhere in your hand at any point during the day?

No.

No.

You might be right.

There could be a dessert, maybe.

If you bring that ice cream out I was talking about a second ago, but.

Yeah, I don't know.

But like even the banana pudding, if it's thick enough, and it should be.

Yeah.

I can't eat that with a fork.

Fork, yeah.

You're not eating a lot of soupy things on Thanksgiving.

That's what I'm saying.

You have virtually no soups ever.

I was going to just say soups, but really I thought about it.

I was like, no, there's no need for a spoon at all.

You don't eat your black-eyed peas with a spoon.

You got black-eyed peas at Thanksgiving?

Yeah.

Yeah.

You better believe it.

I don't think we usually do that.

I'm fine with it.

But no, you black-eyed peas, I like to mush.

I like to mush it with my fork and then scrape them up.

I'm kidding.

I just put a little against the finger if I got to.

Yeah.

Well, you got rolls.

You shoveling.

That's what Thanksgiving is a stab and stuff holiday.

Like, I am man, I eat meat.

That's what cornbread is good for, put it in that, scoop them black-eyed peas up with.

Yeah.

Ooh.

Yeah, back to salads.

No salad, but.

He's still on them salads.

But vegetables like green beans, black-eyed peas.

Yeah, those aren't healthy because if you're making.

That ain't no salad though, Joey.

Yeah, but it's in the vegetables family.

You're making green beans the right way in the South.

You've got like, you've melted a ton of butter in there with those beans.

You've also got meat in there.

Bacon fat's great.

Like, you just, yeah, you've.

You're right, it is.

Yeah, you've ruined them.

They're not healthy at all anymore.

No, it's not supposed to be.

Still getting some kind of vitamin A or K.

I'm not worried at all.

I don't count calories on Thanksgiving.

I'm not.

My goal for Thanksgiving is being in a coma.

Yeah, yeah.

Eat until I feel like I'm about to throw up.

Yeah.

Take a break and then come right back to it.

And then not eat for another two days after.

Yeah.

Man, dressing warmed up, boy.

Oh, God.

God dang it.

That sounds so good.

Hey, there's a picture of Jackson and me.

I'm going to send y'all from last year.

All right.

Sitting in the middle of the kitchen floor, just going ham on the whole pan of dressing.

In the floor?

Sitting in the floor.

Did he steal it?

Did anybody know that he got it?

It was after, like, everybody left.

He's like, everybody done with the dressing?

Everybody left, and we've got this pan.

He's lying under the table.

Pan just sitting in our laps, just eating it.

That's awesome.

Going back to talking about, like, no eating before, this is a perfect one here.

And I think that we might have some listeners that might get upset about that, especially if we have, you know, the three female members of the audience, and that's charcuterie boards.

No.

I know that you might have some that think that'd be cute to lay that out for, like, before we eat Thanksgiving, but no.

No.

I'm not going to, like, fill my belly with Ritz crackers and your little hams and cheeses.

Prosciutto.

Dried out ham.

No, thank you.

Hard on the edges.

I don't care for charcuterie to begin with.

I don't either.

It's silly.

I, like, look at it and think I don't know what half this is.

It's aesthetic.

pleasing.

You got any American cheese slices?

That's all I want.

Yeah.

Man, get your craft single out of the wrapper.

Fold that thing up a couple of times to the dome.

Yes.

That's all you need.

Put that on the board.

They fancied up like the classic, We used to do it all the time, like summer sausage and a block of cheese with cracker.

Yeah.

That's all they do is they fancied that up.

The gifts you get some at Christmas that you don't know what else to get them.

Or the side thing.

If they show up, I got this here I can give to them.

And it's a summer sausage.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Give me that big old lager processed meat.

That's what I always say.

Man, I need a hot dog.

Give me that lager meat.

It always comes back to a hot dog, doesn't it, Drake?

It does.

Do you eat hot dogs at Thanksgiving?

No.

He got one of the charcuterie boards, just different hot dogs.

I didn't put that on the list.

Here's one, though.

I did think about meat because I'm very good.

Like, we are a Thanksgiving and ham family.

But I think I've had chicken before on Thanksgiving.

Like, I know of people that have brisket.

Eat whatever you want.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

But I thought about this.

And I don't think.

It just feels weird to have fish on Thanksgiving.

Shouldn't be fish.

No.

Don't do fish.

Like most of the things You're eating on the table Just don't They're not even a gun I don't know man Some fried catfish fillets Probably slap It sounds good to you right now But if you had The fried catfish On that table With everything else On Thanksgiving That's still either I don't think What about fried chicken Think about all the fixings Oh all day long Yeah All the sides with Thanksgiving The sides It'd be great with the sides But then I picture You want catfish and cranberry I don't I don't even eat cranberry, That don't belong On my table I don't want catfish Right beside some turkey though.

Or ham right ham and catfish that sounds like freaking Dr.

Seuss book or something no thank you semi-ham yeah, that's nah that's not good nah fair point okay I'll give you that one yeah no fish no fish with the sides though yeah the sides are perfect for fried catfish that's the day after Thanksgiving meal whew, Number six.

Black Friday.

Cold butter.

Cold butter.

Or anything that's not butter, fake butter, like country crock.

Yeah.

You should already have your sticks of butter, like out on the counter.

Room temp.

Room temp the day before.

So that way when it's time to like butter some stuff up, I can just.

What you buttering?

Rolls, I know.

Whatever I want.

Biscuits.

My body.

Just lather up and butter.

You don't need to do that at Thanksgiving, man.

I don't?

No.

That's why you're not invited by Thanksgiving.

Yeah, thank God.

Depending on if they didn't put enough in the mashed taters either.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

You just sneakily scooped that little.

They ought to have some salt on there, huh?

They ought to.

I don't know if I butter.

I don't think I butter anything.

You got rolls.

You're not buttering the rolls?

No, I eat them rolls so fast you wouldn't believe.

You just scarfed it in.

I'd get one on my way to the table.

I eat it.

I'll eat one in the line.

Mashed potatoes sometimes Sometimes they need a little extra butter.

I'm a big.

Sometimes, depending on who's making it, they don't put enough in there.

I know.

I want to taste that butter in them taters.

I just, that's just another thing for me to hold the line up.

And I'm trying to.

How many do you put it on the table?

I'm trying to get my.

Are you one of the first few?

We go to a, we have a gigantic Thanksgiving.

It's more like a family reunion.

It's so big.

Yeah.

You have a family Thanksgiving?

So it's like 60, 70 people?

Whoa.

Yeah.

It's enormous.

You can't put butter on all them tables.

You got to bring your own butter.

Bring your own butter.

You might not even get a table.

There's a shirt.

I think I sat on the couch last year and ate my food.

The butter plug.

I had to sit outside.

That's a great spot, though.

I mean, if you get, especially if you're like me, you get a little bit of a belly, you can rest that plate on.

Yeah, that's pretty nice.

You sit.

Yeah.

Get somebody sitting, two people sitting real close to you, you just, your arms are just naturally right there, bam, bam.

Yeah, I see.

I'm just shoveling, like a dog.

If you got a real nice person to sit beside you, they might help you, feed you a little bit.

We host Thanksgiving, so I'm head of the table.

Really?

Yeah.

You stand up and do a toast?

No, I stand like Roman Reigns does with my one up.

Do you have to do the Thanksgiving prayer?

Yes.

Do you?

Which that's not, that doesn't bother me.

Oh, I bet y'all got like the family elder doing it and it takes 15 minutes.

We do hold hands.

60 of you holding it in?

Yes.

It goes around the entire house.

It probably takes 15 minutes to organize the circle.

Somebody grabs an airbrush.

Buttery roll hands over here.

This is a fine oiled machine.

Yeah, because everybody's ready to eat by then.

So they're hurrying and getting in their place, grabbing a hand and bowing your head.

Get a hand and put your head down.

The Lord bless his food, sanctify to our bodies.

Amen.

Yeah.

Usually Sammy's dad does it.

Rub-a-dub-dub.

Thanks for the grill.

And it's to the point.

So.

Is this pre-plate grabbing or post?

This is right before you eat.

Okay.

So y'all have to wait on somebody to show up before you can eat?

Yeah.

That's all.

Mm-hmm.

To a certain extent.

There's a cutoff point.

Usually by one o'clock.

You're texting those that aren't there like, where you at?

And if they're like, we haven't left yet.

Yeah you too bad yeah you may or may not get monkey bread.

Yep.

And it serves you right if you don't.

I can understand that when there's 60 people, then I feel like there's a lot of things there.

Yeah.

Our cousin one time, she was married to a guy.

I think they were married.

And he had like a bunch of kids.

She brought, she said, there's a Facebook group for this, of course.

For your Thanksgiving?

Yeah.

What's it called?

Snow Family or something like that.

Thanksgiving.

Snow Family Thanksgiving.

It's a private group.

But it is.

Y'all don't even try.

I'm changing my name on Facebook.

But, you know, you put in there what you bring in and everything.

And she said, it'll be me plus seven.

Well, you remember that?

What?

Yeah.

Sally Jean did that.

You can't do a plus seven.

This is before they were.

This is before they were.

I don't think anybody knew.

I don't know if she did.

She said, I just got these people I'm going to pick up and bring them.

There's always somebody there that I don't know.

Yeah, always.

And there was seven of them.

Oh, that's every family for me.

They got them a good meal, though.

They were good people.

Never seen them again though What did they bring?

They just brought themselves They were like I think they were teenagers Maybe No, well that's fair And they would always be like a There was like a young couple I'd never seen before That's not kin to us, I don't know.

It's just, it's a free-for-all, man.

That's a good question.

There's so many people there.

I think people just see that and stop by and they're like, they'll never know we're not part of the family.

Yeah.

That's my plan.

So it does sound like we can show up.

Oh, yeah, absolutely.

What time do y'all partake in Thanksgiving at the Snow Family Thanksgiving?

About one o'clock is about to cut off.

It's going to be a conflict there.

Yeah.

Oh, it's worth it.

It's worth it.

Where's Matt at?

He's at another family's Thanksgiving.

Yeah, they found a better one.

Yeah, he's stealing monkey bread right now.

I was about to say, y'all heard about this monkey bread.

While they're praying, he's sneaking it out.

Oh, I never thought about that.

We're up against the break.

I need a fake hand.

But that did, maybe you're talking about those teenagers.

At what point do you expect someone to bring, like, it's no longer okay for them to bring nothing, show up empty-handed at Thanksgiving?

Oh, when you cross the threshold into adulthood or get married.

Get married.

Married for sure.

Yeah.

But, like, if you're single, at what point?

When you don't live with your parents, I think.

You should at least bring a drink.

Yeah.

Yeah, you bring a drink.

We did that for a long time because there's so much stuff, and everybody gets it quick.

Yeah.

And like, well, there's nothing left to bring.

And now it's at my house, so I don't have to bring nothing.

Somehow, I scored deviled eggs, though, last year.

So I guess I'm going to keep doing that.

Because I was like, wait, nobody does deviled eggs, I don't think.

But I think they did.

Your mom did, I think.

But she said, I don't really, I never make enough.

I was like, oh, I didn't make enough.

Well, she got one of them trays, you know?

She fills that up.

Yeah.

So she brings them, and I was like, all right, I got it.

So that worked out good.

The highest of in-demand thing for me is double eggs, and it's always like, I'm like, man, am I going to get one or not?

Dude.

Dibbled eggs are gross.

Oh.

Stupid.

This guy.

Go back to your table over there.

Yeah, he's still butthurt over that salad.

He's like, I'd kind of like a half a salad.

Yeah, I'm right there with you.

I don't like dibbled eggs.

Man, it's a lot in your mouth.

It's a texture.

Yeah.

I love it.

It is a lot.

But that's a gross way to eat it.

Also, not a mayonnaise guy.

Yeah, I don't like mayonnaise.

I put a little Dijon on their mind.

Oh, fancy it up.

Ours is mustard-based.

A little bacon on top.

What was your thing?

What was your...

Your requirement to bring to Thanksgiving before the deviled eggs.

Just, I'd just be doing random stuff.

Like if somebody needs, if we need, I would see what we had the year before and what do we need more off?

So like mac and cheese, we need more mac and cheese.

But then last year, like four people brought it.

So you've never found your monkey bread.

The deviled eggs, I think it's going to be it.

They, they were good.

They were good.

Yeah.

I would ask Joey, but he didn't need it.

He said they sucked.

Joey.

Plus money.

I did make beans one year.

Baked beans.

Yeah, I don't know why I did that.

No, my mom picked baked beans.

I love it.

Yeah, they were good.

But baked beans is a lot of work, man.

I call mom's beans heart attack beans.

She just takes a basic can of Bush's beans, fries up like a pack of bacon.

Yeah.

Chops up the bacon, throws it in there, then takes all that bacon grease and puts that in the beans too.

Oh my gosh.

Mercy God.

My mouth is watering thinking about them.

It's the absolute best.

I bet it's so good, man.

You be Putin.

Oh, yeah.

Hootin', scootin'.

Eat that with the deviled eggs.

You'd be gone.

Blow the house off.

Blast off, baby.

That's all she wrote.

That's nothing.

See you next Thanksgiving.

We got a few left here.

We'll come back and knock these out.

We'll take a second, though, take a message from our sponsor.

Us.

Yeah, it's still us.

We're the best.

Hey, listen, I'm about to auction off.

If you want to be our sponsor, I'm going to set it at a dollar.

And we'll go, bidding starts at a dollar.

You don't even have to be a business.

No no really i'll give me 30 second ad read i'll say whatever today's episode sponsored by jerry that's it yeah what up jerry.

J-dog oh that'd be great we need to do that this episode of hooting and hollering is brought to you by hooting and hollering we still don't have a sponsor hey listen we've got new merch out and we're trying to roll out new designs as often as we can so go check them out right now at hootingandhollering.com you can find, I like three shirts right now, but one of them is a sweet bowl peanut shirt, and it's flying off the shelves, baby.

Go check it out.

Hootinandhollering.com.

You know, if you have an Alexa, you can say Alexa fart, and she'll just rip one.

Yep.

Really?

Jackson does it all the time.

Okay.

Yeah.

Siri won't.

I haven't tried.

Yeah.

She seems too classy for that.

Yeah, my Siri is.

He had his Alexa link to my Spotify account, and I started playing.

And there's these fart tracks on Spotify.

I just turned it all the way up and started blasting it on him.

I'm going to do that.

We've been listening to music at the shop on Spotify.

I'm going to do that.

Just put fart noise on.

Play some poop tracks.

Poot tracks.

Now we've got four left here on our 10 things I don't ever want to see on the table at Thanksgiving.

This is one that goes back to pasta salad, which is anything Italian.

Anything Italian.

Now Italians, sure, you're welcome at the table.

But you don't get on the table.

Don't get on the table.

And don't bring your Americanized food.

Now, the things that I listed here are, I mean, I guess you can get them in Italy.

I've never been.

But I'm talking, of course, about the American versions.

But I can't imagine some authentic Italian would do any better either.

That's like pizza.

Spaghetti, lasagna.

No place.

First of all, if you got pizza, then you didn't get it.

At a pizza place.

They're all closed on Thanksgiving.

Yeah.

This is a thing you either made.

Frozen pizza.

Or you put a DiGiorno in the oven.

Got Totino's.

Yeah.

Red Baron.

I'll be honest with you.

If you put some pizza rolls on the table on Thanksgiving, I would eat them.

I wouldn't be mad at you.

I'd put them on my plate.

I would.

You probably could get a Hunt Brothers pizza on Thanksgiving.

I bet you could.

Yeah, you could.

Oh, I'll test that theory.

You got to have some for that night.

To Thanksgiving.

To the Snow Family Thanksgiving.

Okay.

See how many pieces get.

I'll sneak it on there.

I bet it gets cleaned out.

Yeah.

The kids be all over.

Yeah.

The kids are going to get.

Kids are guaranteed to eat the pizza.

There's a chicken finger spread on there too or something.

That's fine.

I love a good chicken finger.

Yeah, but do you know this, too, talking about pizza, the odds are that you probably don't want it again on Thanksgiving because you had it the night before.

That Wednesday night before Thanksgiving is one of the biggest days for pizza places in the year.

It's like night before Thanksgiving, Super Bowl.

I don't remember what one of the other ones is.

Somewhere around Christmas, I think.

New Year's.

New Year's Eve.

New Year's Eve is a big one.

New Year's.

Yeah, it's crazy.

Also, the night before Thanksgiving is like the biggest night for bars of the year.

Mm-hmm.

All the college kids coming home.

Or just, like, I gotta get out of the house.

Yeah, we used to, me and some buddies used to go out on, like, the night before Thanksgiving.

It was always a good vibe everywhere.

Yeah.

It's always fun.

I miss that.

I can't do that now.

Nah.

We always eat out the night before, though.

Yeah, you got, the thing is, you got stuff going on in the kitchen.

Like, Lisa's probably got three things she's already cooking.

Yeah.

Or, like, preparing.

Yep.

That will go in the oven first thing in the morning.

And so I'm not allowed in the kitchen.

It's definitely like I gotta go find something and bring it home or get it delivered.

Yeah.

And I'm honestly not mad at it.

It's rough, though, because you start smelling it Saturday morning.

I mean, like Thursday morning, stuff starts baking.

Yeah.

Like 8, 9 a.m., you're sitting there watching that parade, but my stomach's already just growling.

Yeah.

Y'all do Thanksgiving at your house?

We have every year, but I think we've started.

Last year, we had it back at Lisa's parents, and we'll probably keep doing that.

They're right next door.

They got that sweet new place, don't they?

Yeah, there's not enough seats, though.

Really?

And not enough, like, which, you know, it's fine, but there's also not enough, like, replacement seats.

Like, I think we camping, you got to bring your own camping chair pretty much at this point.

Really?

Yeah.

We bought steel chairs a while back.

That's the way.

Yeah.

Pile them here.

Oh, bro, at the Snow family, man, they'd be pulling out like a church event, them white plastic chairs, fold-up ones.

That reminds me that we get those, and I have some of her parents right now from Maggie's birthday that I need to take out to church.

Those are great to have.

That's our table extensions right there.

Yeah.

Because we normally have about 25 or so people at our house.

I've got probably five of those folding tables in my storage building right now.

They're the best.

Just from cookouts and stuff.

Yeah.

Yeah.

We come here to grab them all the time.

I think we've got four or five here.

Yeah, I've used that big long one.

That's the best.

Yeah, that thing is awesome.

Yeah.

Who gets your money's worth out of a folding table?

Absolutely.

Yeah, we got two of those.

But boy, they started making black ones now.

Oh.

That's tough outdoors.

It's good because I use mine for cookouts, and man, I've ruined the white ones with barbecue sauce and grease and everything else getting on them, you know?

You get you some of the vinyl tablecloths.

I usually do, but I forget.

You just wipe them babies clean.

Then I'm in trouble.

Yeah.

Because they stain.

We got one that is nasty.

It's a smaller one, like a four-footer, and it's like that.

It has become black from years of abuse.

I got one that just got left outside.

Now it's just got stuff from when I was building my deck piled all over it.

But do you still use it?

Absolutely.

You get the plastic tablecloth on top of it.

Yep.

It gets the birthday party tablecloth on it.

Brand new.

One of them One dollar Dollar general Yeah What's your go-to meal Not for Thanksgiving Before Thanksgiving Oh man Just whatever I got, Jack's Chicken fingers from Jack's Usually Just whatever I go to Alabama Stackers Past two years Really Yeah Must be nice Living in a city With options Yeah, Really You know Thanksgiving You know During the night You have You usually have leftovers But Christmas It always seems like We're trying to You know Look around for food Yeah There's nothing open.

You really don't eat a whole lot like you do Thanksgiving that day.

You're all about planting the gifts I feel like on Christmas.

The food, it's a big deal, but it's really an afterthought of that.

It's a lot of, there's never no leftovers.

It's a lot of sweets.

That's the main thing.

We do brunch.

Yeah, Christmas is all over the place.

It's even, Southern Christmas especially, like, man, we don't do ham or turkey, I mean, at all on Christmas.

It's usually grilling.

It's hors d'oeuvres.

Yeah, I was about to say, last year, I might have cooked out or something.

Oh, yeah.

I'm going to do that this year for sure.

Hey, you know what is open on Christmas night, though, Joe?

Waffle House.

Waffle House and Chinese restaurants.

Waffle House on Christmas.

It's packed.

It's a tradition for people.

It's our friend group tradition.

Yeah, it was for us for a little while until we couldn't get in.

We had a tradition, I think we did it two straight years ago, about like 20 years ago, went to Cracker Barrel on Thanksgiving.

Mm.

Mm.

Not bad.

Yeah, I know a lot people I mean, they got a spread.

Like, you just order, we'll take the Thanksgiving spread.

You eat there?

Yeah.

Really?

You can get it to go, but yeah, you can sit there and eat it.

Then you can add new dishes.

We went one year to Victoria's in Jasper, that restaurant.

Yeah.

It was open on Thanksgiving and we just, for a random reason, had our Thanksgiving there and it was amazing.

Yeah.

They're not even open on the weekends.

They're not even open on weekends, are they?

Are they?

Just Sundays.

They do the old-timer lunches.

Oh, they do Sunday.

Yeah, Sunday, half church.

Man, that place is so good, dude.

I don't think they're open on Mondays.

That's my off day, and it's very hard for me to get there.

It's a classic meet three.

Yeah, it is.

Attached to a very shady hotel.

Woo!

But I don't even know if it's open anymore.

It's been shut down numerous times.

You say shady?

There's people staying there, but who knows if it's open.

Right, yeah, that's true.

You say shady?

Yeah.

Yeah, shady.

Okay, I was making sure.

It was borderline.

I was about to be like, man, I'm not the only one getting bleeps.

Look at the science fiction.

everything sounds crazy but you will know if you don't hear oh then it cleared.

I was out on the river the other day me and my dad and son and just all the trees out there got me my allergies so messed up man like for two straight days i was ruined i didn't used to be like this i used to have no allergies i know i have fall allergies spring no problem, I'm solid during spring I think it's like oak trees Or something probably Yeah All the leaves falling Doesn't help I got A 70 foot tall one In my front yard Bro What pine, Oak.

You should see my house.

It's insane.

There's no less than 50 trees.

They're all oaks too.

Yeah.

We've got a couple oaks around us.

I feel like maybe it's ragweed.

I feel like every time I look at whatever the big allergy thing is, ragweed's always out there.

Ragweed, yeah.

Where is the ragweed?

How do we get rid of it?

It feels like it's doing no good.

I don't even know what it looks like.

I don't either.

I just know Kurt Wetzel wrote a banging song about it.

Really?

Yeah.

About ragweed?

Or just weed?

Ragweed.

Yeah.

Bad weed.

Both.

Both.

Man, I'll be feeling it in my lungs when I pass it though For sure Ragweed.

I'm going to go ahead and knock this one out here because I thought about it.

I was like, yeah, there's no reason why this should be on the table either.

That's ketchup.

No.

No.

There's really.

What could you use ketchup for?

Like, here's the thing.

Your condiments that day, your ketchups, your mustard, your.

Ranch.

Hold on.

Ranch, absolutely.

Mayonnaise.

I'll get a pass because some people just do be loved putting mayonnaise on things.

I'm happy.

Dump it in their potatoes.

Yeah.

My dad does that.

Yeah.

I forget who my family uses that as the base.

Oh, yeah.

In potatoes.

instead of like sour cream.

I do.

You do?

Yep.

It's good.

Gives you a little more tang.

Oh, it's good.

A little more tang.

What kind of mayo?

Dukes.

Yeah.

Sour cream.

Sour cream in my mac and cheese.

What?

That's a hack.

Boy.

I'm not going to try that.

Do try it.

Just a dollop.

Just a dollop.

No less, no more.

Don't put a lot.

But don't do the ketchup.

I mean, your condiments that day are gravy and cranberry sauce.

Yeah.

I don't think I've ever used a condom.

There's nothing on your plate that requires ketchup.

And I saw somewhere I don't have hot sauce either, but I'm fine with hot sauce.

Hot sauce, okay.

Yeah, there's some people that's like, I'm going to eat hot sauce.

Hot sauce and black and black and black and black.

That's it right there.

Yeah.

A Delousia and a pepper sauce.

Yeah.

That's fine.

But ketchup, mustard.

No, there's no reason to be smothering anything in ketchup.

I do like mustard on my hand.

On a sandwich, maybe.

Yeah, but you're not pulling it out on Thanksgiving giving on the smoked ham, are you?

You don't be putting anything on that.

If you get a good smoked ham, I don't.

I just want the ham.

Ooh, honey ham.

Mustard's versatile.

It's not, really.

I'm really going to have to.

It dominates.

You put it on something, then all I taste now is mustard.

I'm fine with it.

I like it on a hot dog.

I love it.

The cheaper the hot dog, the more mustard it needs.

Yeah.

I'm going to have to evaluate myself on Thanksgiving now to make sure if I do actually do it or not.

If it's not like a late night Thanksgiving ordeal.

It might be.

You might be thinking the sandwiches.

The sandwiches, yeah.

Yeah, that's your little ham sliders Thanksgiving night.

I like to get creative and artsy on my Thanksgiving plate.

Yeah, why not?

I mean, you got to fancy it up.

You got to make it count.

Yeah.

I guess so.

That reminded me.

I was wanting to go back and get some leftover ham, and we were gone.

Like, the ham was ate up.

It's just turkey.

It's always turkey.

And I don't want leftover turkey.

I don't ever want leftover turkey.

I want it hot at Thanksgiving or never.

At the snow Thanksgiving, they smoke a turkey.

Yeah.

Ours is either smoked or deep fried, so it's always good.

I've never had a fried turkey.

Bro.

It's not as good as smoked, I think.

Really?

I mean, it's harder, I think, to get a good smoked turkey.

It's just easy to get dried out.

Everything dries a turkey out.

Yeah.

I do like it.

It's okay.

Good smoked turkey at a barbecue restaurant now.

Jim and Nick's turkey smacks, though.

We've been ordering them from Sons up in Jasper for the last five years.

Yeah.

I go up there on Thanksgiving morning to get them.

So good.

Oh, you get like an old turkey there?

Oh, yeah.

Really?

Yeah, they do different sizes, but I go up there and get turkey and ham Thanksgiving morning.

That's a great idea.

Yeah.

And I try to nibble on that ham while driving.

Oh, you've been nibbling?

Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

I got spilled a lot of juices in the truck.

Yeah, I've heard something else you...

Remember, he has some other juices spill.

Barbecue sauce.

Barbecue sauce.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Barbecue sauce.

Yeah.

It's any time that I'm getting something to feed a large group, and I think now's my chance.

And now I know, yeah, you're digging in it.

Better.

This is an opportunity to get as much as I want, and I just make a mess.

It's just got big all in it.

Oh, my gosh.

My truck smells amazing for like a week.

Yes.

Yeah.

So this is another one, kind of not food.

All the ketchup is kind of food.

I don't know if you're eating just ketchup.

That's pretty nasty.

Cell phone.

No.

Don't have it out at the table on Thanksgiving.

No.

Nope.

Because here's the thing.

What are you even looking at?

There's one game of football on, and I'm sure it's on the TV, so there's no score to check.

Yeah.

Okay?

You're going to look at Facebook because you're only going to see pictures of other people's food.

Yep.

And family pictures.

that'll come later in the day you'll get the family pictures drop in the afternoon yep, But, but just put the phone away.

There's no need for that.

Don't even, don't, you know, maybe have the kids' iPads as a backup somewhere.

Mm-hmm.

But, but yeah, no screens.

It's time to eat and socialize.

Yeah, I don't think we ever see that, really.

I don't think so either.

I feel like my screen time usage on Thanksgiving has got to be like 30 minutes.

Yeah.

If anything, I'm checking fantasy football, like while the game's going on, after we're done eating.

And then I'll put it down.

Yeah.

Chill out.

Yeah, that's, yeah, that's different.

Even when we're all sitting on the couch afterwards, like nobody's really on their phone.

Well, you're actually socializing.

Yeah.

Playing football.

One of the few times you're around that many people and you're just talking.

There's only one holiday where I like, where everybody posts like their things.

And I will, I like to scroll it and judge silently.

And that's Christmas Eve.

The moms who post the, the, the hall on Facebook.

Yeah.

And I like to just go, what the crap?

Yeah.

That is, you giving your child as much this Christmas as I got my entire childhood.

Yeah.

I've seen some that are in, like, their living room.

It's not under the tree.

It's the whole living room.

And it's going to end up in the back of Ollie's.

People love.

In two weeks.

People love to show you how much money they spend, man.

But these people ain't got it.

That's what I mean.

I'm looking at it like, what?

Most of them do not.

Right.

It's wild.

Yeah.

I hate to see that Capital One bill.

I hope you fridge it.

Oh, yeah.

For sure.

Hope your fridge don't tear up.

Exactly.

You're in trouble.

You've got about four fridges worth of toys down there.

You know, there's a thing where people, probably not around here, but like Miami and L.A.

Where they'll rent cars just to take pictures of themselves standing by.

Yeah, it's like an inflation game.

Lamborghinis, yeah.

Yeah.

Pay, like, models to, you know, take pictures with them, things like that.

I'm going to go rent me a Dodge Voyager from freaking Enterprise then.

Yeah, I'd be able to afford, like, a six-cylinder Mustang or something, probably.

What, are you saying rent that for Christmas?

Y'all got a neon laying around?

Just Instagram pictures in general.

Those people are doing that, you know.

What about the commercials?

They come outside, and they got a big bow on the car.

Like, oh, I bought you this.

I seen it.

I had a buddy on Facebook.

He did something similar.

He's like, his wife was like, oh, thanks for...

Getting me this car for christmas like he didn't buy you that car first off it's he just got you more debt yeah guess who's also making payments on that car yeah yeah here's a few more years of debt SNL did a great sketch on that years ago it was like Heidi Gardner and Beck Bennett and and he gave her the car for christmas she comes out and she's so mad because then she's like you have a job how did you finance this but yeah it's like if you in real life if a husband or wife went out and got a car as a gift for the spouse without telling and made a purchase like that there ain't no way there'd be no joy there not good that'd be a lot of questions really kill me yeah yes i would be murdered yeah straight up and not just a car it's a mercedes yeah always you didn't get like a four tempo yeah who put the bow on it i don't they do i feel like mercedes there's a legit thing if you go one of these dealerships one of those really nice places like a really good car they think they will get you that bow oh i'm sure i feel like i saw that yeah i'm sure i'm maybe there's one too i don't know that's yeah that's a level of rich that that's things i can't even imagine yeah it's just things i'm not gonna experience my wife wouldn't even let me go look at a car that i.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Very true.

I'd do something asinine anyway.

You know, there's a joke on Modern Family, Al Bundy's wife and kid would buy him, like, all these cool gifts for his birthday or whatever.

And he goes, it's my money that you're spending.

Exactly.

Dude, that's another thing, too, man.

You see husband and wives buying themselves, like, big birthday presents and stuff.

Buying each other?

Buying each other presents.

big birthday presents and Christmas presents and just save that yeah bill yeah we we don't have to do all that we we give each other some like good gifts on Christmas but like on our anniversary this year we just said let's not get anything let's yeah we need a couch let's buy a couch years have we bought that couch yet no we have not yeah so we did nothing we bought nothing for our anniversary we will take like a trip or something yeah we don't we don't do things we go do stuff that's the point now yeah, just like with Christmas like we don't get each other much because we always go to Disney World Universal or like a vacation that's the way to do it after New Year because you both enjoy it yeah, And I don't want the pressure of trying to find something to buy.

We'll do Mother's Day and Father's Day and stuff like that.

We'll buy each other something.

Yeah.

Because it's just one person getting something.

But when you're buying each other, I know a couple that'll buy each other $1,000, $2,000 gifts for Christmas and stuff.

Like, why?

Why are you doing that?

Well, if that's your thing.

You just swapped them.

If that's your thing, do you?

You could have just bought your own thing.

I've learned the hard way.

I feel like I'm a pretty good gift giver.

Lisa is not and so I think this year is just like alright I'm giving in like how about no more gifts for each other dude I'm so bad at it because you suck at this I'm so bad I got a pair of grilled tongs for my birthday this year at that point this year I said I am done we're not doing gifts anymore this is this is a bunch of auga right here a bunch of bull auga I uh yeah I tapped out a bunch of bull quack done.

Tongs and they broke they weren't even good tongs I was like these came from Walmart didn't they You didn't even go to Home Depot and get me some of the Weber ones.

That's brave, man.

You just.

To say this?

She don't listen.

She don't listen to the podcast.

She don't listen at all.

She's on episode three right now.

We just buy each other stuff.

Somebody's going to send it to her.

We need or really want.

Yeah.

And that's not a lot.

It's not a lot of stuff either.

Yeah.

Because we don't like stuff.

I don't ever know what to buy, Rachel, but just anything is usually good because she's not the person, she does not spend money.

Like, she will not buy herself nothing.

She'll buy other people things, but she will not.

And kids, I'm sure.

She will not buy herself anything.

At least the same way.

She's like, you'll see her, like, looking at shoes.

She's like, oh, those are $60.

No way.

For shoes?

What are you doing?

You'll wear those for three years.

Yeah.

No, that's too much.

I'm not buying that.

Like, oh, my God.

Come on.

Not to mention.

Great quality.

Don't get me wrong.

Great quality to have to have that.

It's hard to be secretive when you share a bank account and they can look and be like, oh, you must have got me that from there.

The Amazon wish list is good.

Just make you a wish list.

This is all about those.

Yeah.

I'm not.

I still have things on that wish list from like 10 years ago that I don't want.

I forget.

She's like, you need to update it.

I went back on mine and like there's dishes and stuff on there.

Like, what?

Rachel put those out there.

No, it was me.

It's my list.

Yeah.

Like, what was I doing two o'clock that morning?

I'm just, oh, I'm going to get all this stuff for the kitchen that I'm not ever going to buy.

That was your cooking phase you was going through.

Yeah, I got, yeah, yeah, I got a...

Give me some Blackstone accessories.

Oh, yeah.

You ever get a Blackstone?

Nope.

I'm content.

My Weber does everything that I need it to.

I'm about to say I'll sell you mine if you want it to.

Your Blackstone?

Yeah, I haven't used mine like in a year.

Yeah.

Really?

Yeah.

That's what I'm afraid would happen to it.

I used mine before I came here.

The only thing that I have thought about purchasing in addition to the grill is one of them old pizza ovens.

Because we do eat pizza.

We eat pizza every week at home.

So it would be fun to make our own.

That would be cool.

I'd like to have one.

But storing it, I don't have a good space to put it.

I don't have a counter outside.

I can stick it on I'd have to like I want one of those too Cover it up Move it somewhere Every time I want that I want that And a hot dog roller I bet you do From a gas station In my house Dude You should get one of those I should That would be awesome I think you can get Like a little novelty one That'll do In warm buns too I need one That means business Yeah He wants one That'll hold at least 12 I'll tell you what Have you been to that Koneka shop Yep Where they got like Four of those Big old ones Full of Koneka dogs Or not Koneka They're just sausage It's awesome links man rolling it's heaven smell I was like a kid in a candy store there you open that door and that smell hits you they got nacho cheese for it really yeah boy I wonder if they're still the Conecuh dogs used to be a dollar they were cheap I wonder if they've gone up they were cheap the last time we went I was like I'll take all of them yeah here's ten dollars.

I'm about to clean you out I ate one I was like I think I'm gonna go get another yeah you got to I love Conecuh It is.

God bless Koneka.

Oh.

Hey, that should be on Thanksgiving table.

Aside here, this is our new favorite dish right now that involves Koneka at home.

Takes a sheet pan, you know, puts the tinfoil on it.

Makes dishes clean up a lot easier.

Corn, chopped up Koneka in potatoes.

And then cover that in whatever seasoning you want and just throw that in the oven.

I think she just sets it to broil or whatever.

And like it's a sheet pan.

Oh.

It's almost like a low country bowl type deal, but you ain't got the shrimp and some other stuff in it, but like still got some of the same seasonings.

And I mean, it's just, you know, I just, I scoop it and put it in a bowl.

Hmm.

Sounds so good.

Yeah, it does.

Potatoes, corn, konekka.

Beans, greens.

You put whatever you want on a sheet pan.

Yeah, you can.

Yeah.

Ooh, I love it.

I might try.

Send me a picture next time you do it.

Oh, I will.

I want to get a visual.

I've been doing it about once every two weeks right now.

Really?

Yeah.

Cobb corn or?

No, just kernels.

Just, yeah.

Hmm yeah i gotta see a visual of that they just scoop it up i just shovel in my mouth speaking my language yeah just making a just a bowl it's mostly i mean that's there are worse things to eat yeah a whole lot yeah there is you're right there are better but there are much worse there's not a lot of more delicious things i bet no that's the that's the tops right there.

That's one thing we should have at Thanksgiving, connect a sausage.

Agree, yes.

Here's the last one I have, and this goes back to you're putting a dollop of sour cream in there, in the mac and cheese, and I'm okay with that.

Actually, I prefer that.

The one thing I don't think has a place on the table at Thanksgiving is basic mac and cheese.

And I'm talking like, for sure, don't go get like the stuff out of the refrigerator section that you just heat up.

Don't ever do that.

Don't even do that, like, tonight for dinner.

There's one worse than that.

The microwavable?

The little bitty noodles, the Kraft.

You think that's worse?

Yes.

That's what I wrote down there.

Don't do Easy Mac.

Don't do boxed.

That is the worst mac and cheese possible.

Like the Kraft macaroni and cheese?

The little blue box?

Garbage.

Garbage.

If it's at Thanksgiving.

I've got an anchor in form every now and then, but it's not on Thanksgiving.

Don't do it for me.

It's all just clumped together and just nastiness.

Tastes like plastic.

Your mac and cheese, if it's going to be on Thanksgiving, it better have been baked.

Yeah.

It needs to be baked with like real cheese goodness layered on top.

I was going to say crispy on top.

It's either got to be bubbly cheese or like a crunch on top.

Yeah, yeah.

Golden brown.

Yes.

Or somebody puts a bacon inside there when they bake.

I put Koneka in mine before.

Oh.

Man.

I can't remember what I did wrong, but it got a little greasy in there.

Yeah, yeah.

So I don't know.

Maybe I need to let it sit out a little longer.

I don't think that Konekha is just going to put out grease.

Yeah, maybe the night before, cook the Konekha the night before or something.

That would be good.

But it was good, though.

It just got a little greasy.

When I make Konekha pizza, I'll cook the Konekha, let it sit, rest, cut it, let it kind of drain the grease out, and then I'll put it on a pizza and then kind of finish the bacon process.

Man, my favorite thing I do at home with Koneka, we'll have like a breakfast for dinner night sometimes, you know, and I'll make a like a scrambled egg sandwich and put like cut the Koneka in half, put that on the sandwich, put the cheese on it, let it melt on there on the scrambled eggs.

I put ketchup on it, too.

I don't know how y'all feel about that.

Good, though.

Ketchup on Kaneka?

On the eggs more than anything.

It's an old man thing.

Yeah.

I only do it on the eggs sandwich.

Not a lot, either.

Hot sauce or ketchup.

Yeah.

So good.

Yeah, or I also said crockpot mac and cheese.

We're just not as many people make.

Hmm.

I've never done that.

I've never had crockpot mac and cheese.

It's not bad.

It's not, you know, obviously not going to be crunchy, and I have that same, like, layer of baked goodness.

Probably creamy, though.

Very.

And that's the one where they get, like, they put a bunch of, like, really good cheese in it.

And like it's like you could pull it up and this cheese it's like a like the ideal slice of pizza the way the cheese is just like that that's acceptable yeah it's harder to find that you could do that and then bake it yeah you could that might be on to something there go well but yeah but that's not the time you don't want that basic mac and cheese you need to have somebody on rotation there that makes a good mac and cheese to bring it yeah I use them big old macaroni noodles too you ever seen them yeah the cheese just fills them things up man so good, I was going to lump in more of that one, but it didn't seem fair.

I will.

If you've got some basic mashed potatoes that you make with the flakes, I'll still eat them on Thanksgiving.

I'd love some homemade potatoes.

You should be doing homemade, but, man, instant potatoes really got a spot right here.

That's what we still eat.

My grandma would take the time to make legit potatoes.

But at home, we eat those Idaho potato flakes all the time.

So good.

Yeah, you can doctor them up pretty good.

They got four cheese ones too.

Yeah.

All that, man.

Yeah, they're good.

They're really good.

Mashed potatoes is a lot of work.

Yes.

Brittany did it one time, and she was like, I don't think I want to do that anymore.

Yeah.

Man, it's a whole thing.

It's tough.

But, man, I want some.

I mean, like, leave some skin on some of them, too.

I want to see.

A little bit of skin in there.

Yeah.

Do we have mashed potatoes at ours?

I can't remember.

Do we?

You're about to.

What's your dish?

What are you?

You were going to do mashed potatoes?

No.

I always make pumpkin pie.

Yeah, that's right.

The mashed potatoes, I don't think they make enough of them.

Whoever makes them.

Maybe I'll do that too.

Sure.

I've made mashed potatoes at home.

Come on, Joey.

You better do it right, boy.

You're getting wild.

Boy.

Eric's going to be FaceTiming you, checking in, making sure you're doing it right.

That's a high-pressure item right there.

Mac and cheese, mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, green beans.

Those are the ones, those are the crowd pleasers.

Yeah, and the green beans are whatever.

I've been eating green beans out of the can for my entire life.

I don't, and I can taste them.

You can do some really good ones.

You can do some things to the can.

Doctor them up too.

Yeah, you can.

All day long.

You better.

Yeah.

Pretty plain Jane coming out of the can.

Yeah.

Brittany's green beans are a quest at every Thanksgiving.

Really?

She has like, I don't know what she puts in, but they kind of add like a sweetness, and then she puts bacon in them too, so it has that salty crunch to it.

Old stick of butter.

In the pot when they're boiling on the stove.

You better be going through a lot of butter on Thanksgiving, man, for sure.

It ain't got to be on the table, though.

It would help.

No doubt.

It would help.

This episode is making me hungry.

Yes.

Yeah, I know.

I'm so sad that this comes out and we've got weeks to go before Thanksgiving.

So apologies to the audience.

We're just going to be dreaming about it.

This episode is targeted to those people that like to skip Thanksgiving and go straight to Christmas.

You know what?

You can do both.

I'll do both.

You can do both.

Yeah.

I'll do both.

People just refuse to acknowledge Thanksgiving sometimes.

I'm not skipping it.

I'm here for both.

Oh, I don't even know what it's about anymore.

There's no buildup anymore, too.

Like, it's Thanksgiving.

It used to be like, boom, Black Friday.

And, like, now it's Christmas season.

Black Friday used to mean something in this country.

Like, we used to go out and fight each other.

Yeah, man.

Like, crap.

Yeah.

Now you'd just be clicking on the internet.

Now you get a sign, sale, delivery right there.

No, there ain't no fun of it at all.

Now it's, like, the risk of, am I going to get punched in the face?

Now it's like, will the post office lose this package?

That's not a fun risk.

Will it get here in time?

Yeah.

I want to see somebody get stabbed.

In transit.

How long will I see in transit listed on the tracking?

Yeah.

Is it going to come FedEx?

God almighty, I hope not.

Please don't.

Please.

Mine just throw in the ditch.

Yeah.

Literally throw it in the ditch.

They sure did.

That about your old house, wasn't it?

What?

That'll happen out by where you used to live.

Oh, no, they throw it in the ditch in front of my house right now.

But you're talking about they threw it in the ravine.

That guy emptied a whole truck.

Yeah.

That was down there by where we lived in Hayden.

Yeah.

That was wild.

And I still to this day, there's a lot of hunting clubs around there.

Heath, he was throwing dog food and stuff.

Like, you got some, I bet you got some monster bucks down there that have been eating kibbles.

He was throwing everything out.

Yeah.

That was a crazy town.

I was talking to somebody, and last year they were going to say, we got to get up at 4 o'clock to go to Black Friday at, what's the outdoor mall that's over in Leeds?

Bass Pro Shop?

Across from Bass Pro Shop.

I just call Leeds.

Grand River.

Grand River.

But I was like, why do you get everything online?

But they said now when you go, they give out, like, gift cards and, you know, drawings for $100, you know, prizes and stuff.

So I guess they're like paying people to come.

I don't want incentives.

I want blood.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I know some families that still do it.

Like it's still their thing.

But I don't know, man.

Some places do have some sick doorbusters you can't get on one.

Really?

Walmart used to just have complete junk.

People be going crazy.

Yeah.

It's trash, man.

Yes.

I need 30 of these Roku remotes for five bucks.

I worked at Walmart like 25 years ago during Black Friday.

And I wished I had a cell phone back then because it was the wildest thing I've ever been a part of.

I never got to witness it.

I always wanted to just go, not to shop, but just to watch it.

And I never did.

I seen old ladies get knocked down.

They was fighting.

This year, this was before like HD and everything, but they were selling like $100 TV sets.

And people were just like ripping them off the pallets or whatever.

And they were like just fighting over them.

It was crazy.

Actually, Rachel worked there when I said that she was putting a pallet out and someone grabbed her ponytail and pulled her away from everything and went in there.

To get TVs?

To get something.

Yeah.

Something stupid.

Yeah.

Something you don't need.

There was some popular toy that year.

I think it was like Tickle Me Elmo or something crazy.

And the Walmart I worked at had two of them.

And word got out that they only had two.

And this lady showed up, like, the night before I worked overnight.

Two individual Elmo's, not pallets.

Right, just two.

Two.

And she tracked down the manager and was down on her knees begging him to let her have that.

Oh, my God.

And she was, like, crying.

And he, like, had to, like, call the police owner and stuff.

But they were—I started my shift at 10 o'clock at night.

But people were lined up all the way out to the highway waiting to get into 6 o'clock that morning to start Black Friday.

The one time I went to this Walmart over here, I had to park over at David's Pharmacy.

Had to walk down to it.

Goodness gracious.

The only thing I ever done, I waited in line at midnight for like Call of Duty to drop at Walmart.

That was kind of fun.

Yeah.

I've never done that.

I got a deal on a Sega Dreamcast at KB Toys back in the day.

There's a sense that makes no sense to anybody under the age of 20.

No.

RIP.

RIP to both of them things.

I have the second Xbox 360 that was in Summerton.

They only got two, and I got one of them.

Like the Elmo's.

How about that?

You have to get on your knees and cry, too.

Rachel capped out for it.

She did.

She stayed there for hours and got it.

I did the legit Black Friday morning thing when I was a teenager.

I was probably very young, like 12, 13.

and with mom and we went to like Comp USA or something and we came there specifically for something and it was like that we had to wait on the doors to open and it was like, a mad rush I don't know how many people there were waiting but they were shoving and pushing and like I got to the thing that we were trying to get I don't even remember what it was I think it was a scanner.

Like, everybody else was all about the scanners, too.

And then they brought it up to the register, and then all of them were finding out that that's not a computer.

It's not a $100 computer.

Scanner.

You'd still need a computer to make this thing work.

And they were so mad.

Boy.

Remember the Acer?

That was a big one one year.

Yes.

The $200 Acer computers or something.

Laptop.

Oh, God.

I forgot the computers of the—they're absolute junk.

My dad was still using one of those, like, two years ago.

I swear.

It's like this big a laptop nothing is loading on the internet nothing it's just he's like I gotta get this thing worked on no no no let's just pull up the HTML code it goes to website.

Gotta read the news but I gotta keep scrolling until I can get to the text there it is, oh boy alright well that's it for this episode of Hootin' the Holler and hope you enjoyed this one if you did check out more we got tons more check out the Facebook page not Facebook we don't even do Facebook Yeah, we don't do Facebook.
