  Speaker 1: Thanksgiving was good. Uneventful.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean the most exciting thing about my Thanksgiving
• 0:07
  was I decided to So I had this seventeen pound turkey.
• 0:11
  It's a big turkey, it is, And so I dry
• 0:15
  brined it, which means you've just essentially you put salt in,
• 0:19
  some herbs and stuff all over the skin, under the
• 0:23
  skin a little bit, and put it in the refrigerator uncovered.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: It makes it crispy, which is really it.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: But you have to look at it every time you
• 0:33
  open the giant hunk naked turkey there. But then I
• 0:41
  was kept reading about this way to cook it where
• 0:44
  it says it sounds weird, but just coat it with mayonnaise,
• 0:50
  And I'm okay. Then, you know, somebody said in article
• 0:54
  I was reading, says, you've you've already discovered that if
• 0:57
  you use mayonnaise on the outside of your grilled sandwiches,
• 1:01
  that works really well. Right, The mayonnaise will go away,
• 1:04
  It will just make the turkey brown. And so I
• 1:08
  put some herbs and like thyme and rosemary and mixed
• 1:13
  it some mayonnaise and slathered it across the turkey and
• 1:17
  stuck it in the oven.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Worked, are you gonna do it again, Probably it was.

  the cavity of the bird with.

  Speaker 1: It was delicious.
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: Joe also dry brains his turkey. It was fantastic. But
• 3:14
  our our farmhouse has limitations. And the limitations are due
• 3:19
  to the septic tank that is old and we have
• 3:23
  been told needs to be replaced, but also told, well
• 3:26
  maybe we can get through another. No, no, we can't.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: What happened, Well, when who took the last who took
• 3:35
  the last shot at it?
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: It was me and I said, please, please don't go
• 3:39
  in there, please please nobody, please, no, please don't, And
• 3:46
  it just starts coming up in all of the toilets
• 3:49
  and there's gurgling, and.

  Speaker 1: Isn't there isn't there a filling station nearby in.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: The bathroom.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: Down to the gas.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: So luckily dinner was done. This did not ruin the meal,
• 4:05
  but we had planned on staying up there all weekend,
• 4:09
  and it ruined that because we need the facility.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Let's just leave the gurgling toilets here and go home.
