  Speaker 2: that's what you're thinking of.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: Maybe I should edit that out. Oh so Thanksgiving is
• 1:47

• 1:50
  Speaker 1: the Halloween candy.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: I'm just like the You're just like Lucy.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Yes, I am not ready for this or not?
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: Lucy, I mean I'm losing my mind. You're just like
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: South Yes, Charlie Brown's sister.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: Wouldn't you say? I probably am Sally?
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: I mean, do you love a little, tiny, ball headed
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: guy with just stringy hair. Who carries around a security.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Blanket, Well, I have that, you know, we have. We
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: shared that secret about you and your security blanket.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: Oh, so, in case you haven't figured out, we are
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: going to be talking about the nineteen seventy three filmed
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: Charlie Brown Thanksgiving.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: But we're children of the eighties. I'm so confused, we are.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: But was this not played every single Thanksgiving during the
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: nineteen eighties?
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Absolutely? I think literally on Thanksgiving.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: And during the early years of the eighties, when pretty
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: much everybody only had three channels, like this was must
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: see TV. Forget about NBC Thursday nights in the nineties
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: and two thousands, Charlie Brown Thanksgiving was must see TV
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: for children in the nineteen eighties.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: I mean, Charlie Brown led us through the holidays.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Absolutely started with Halloween. Yep, It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: And then the Thanksgiving and then obviously the Christmas as well. Yeah,
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: and again as a kid, those three episodes were must
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: see TV getting you, you know, getting you hyped up
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: for the holidays.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: So I have a question. Yeah, what I'm going I
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: have a couple of questions. I'm gonna jump a little bit,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: so just hang on tight. What was your what's your
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: favorite Thanksgiving entree?
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: Mashed potatoes as a child?
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: What was your favorite as a child?
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: My favorite was mashed potatoes. My favorite now is your
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: sweet potatoes. Who flick?
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: Okay, Well, we don't even have an enough time to
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: delve into the differences culturally from Thanksgivings across the country.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: No, we don't know.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: It's a great country of ours.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: We don't. But I would love to hear any of
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: our listeners Thanksgiving traditions, cultures, foods that they eat that
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: maybe somebody else doesn't eat. We had what I would
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: consider a very what seems like a very traditional Thanksgiving,
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: but who knows, right, I mean, it could be you
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: thought you had a very traditional Thanksgiving, and people in
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: Arizona thought they had a very traditional Thanksgiving. And I
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: think we're all different, and I think it's I think
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: that that's great. But I just remember, you know, seeing
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: the calendar change and seeing the cornucopia on the calendar
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: and going, there's our Thanksgiving meal right there.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: You had to bring up that word.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: I did have to bring up cornicopia.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, gracious, I still twitch a little bit.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: You have non type.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Flesh I do so I couldn't that so maybe second grade,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: third grade that was a spelling word for me, and
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: I could not figure out how to spell cortn Ukope,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: it just wasn't coming to it just was not going
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: to happen.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: Can you do it now?
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Let's see? Okay, ceo r in you coo P I A?
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: Yes?
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Did I get it?
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: Got it? So?
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Of course I was staying with Nanny right after school,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: and normally with Nanny she was complicated lady. She was
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: very stern on homework, but very lax with you know,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: me getting whatever I wanted. But I had these spelling words.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: So come in, there's no farting around, you said on
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: the kitchen table, and you get to it.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: Did you get a snack first?
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: No, you need your homework first, No snack, and then
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: the snack is the motivation for getting the homework done.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: I couldn't get cornucopia. I sat there through snack time,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: through let's play outside time, through you know whatever I
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: would have watched on TV, into dinner time. I'm still
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: sitting at the kitchen table and I can't spell cornucopia. Uh.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: I'm guessing Nanny didn't either understand or didn't believe in
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: mental blocks.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: Correct, Yeah, no, she was I think probably the closest
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: share ever got to spank in me. But so then
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: another word for cornucopia is horn of plenty. I could
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: spell that. See, that's why I was street smart. I was.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: I've never been BookSmart, but always been street smart. So
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: let's just go with horn of plenty.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, that's classic.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Okay, So I have one I have one other question,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: uh huh. And I know we've got to we got
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: to get moving on this show. Thanksgiving evening. Yes, it's
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: all over, there's nothing left to eat, dessert's gone. Or
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: did you guys have something on TV that you watched
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: as a family.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: I don't believe. So. Most of the time for Thanksgiving,
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: we were over at my aunt Marsha's my mom's sister,
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: and you know, she always had like this big giant
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: Thanksgiving feast. Her family was over there and she also
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: had a blended family, and then there were other people
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: over there, the adults upstairs, the kids downstairs, and me
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: kind of running back and forth because my uncle Rick
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: was a big football fan, so he always had the
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: football game on upstairs. None of the kids other than
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: me and probably my brother Mike were really sports fans,
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: so they were all about like the Kung Fu movies
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: or whatever, and to me, like, I couldn't have cared less.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: Kung Fu movies to me would be like you me
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: diagramming football plays for you, you know, on the clicker
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: on TV. So I would be down there with the
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: kids eating because that's where I had to eat, and
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: then i'd run upstairs and try and catch some of
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: the game before the adults showed me away and sent
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: me back downstairs. So then therefore at night, right, we
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: were probably like driving back, going back, And I don't
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: remember a traditional show or anything that we would watch
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: on Thanksgiving night. Now I know that you have a tradition,
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: or had a tradition and still do have a tradition
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: on Thanksgiving morning.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: Oh every Thanksgiving morning you get up and watch the
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: And Emmy is now the same way.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: And that it's not Thanksgiving if you don't get to
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: watch the parade.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: Nothing, but now you've got to cook in the morning,
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: get to watch the parade.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: It's very complicated.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: I'll turn it up for you this year. I'll just
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: blast the TV so you can hear it the kitchen.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: Oh, I appreciate that.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: Or we could go old school like my mom had.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: My mom and she would be working in the kitchen,
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: but she had a little black and black and a
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: little black and white TV in there. I'm gonna kich
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: you a little black of white TV with some rabbit
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: ears I'm foil yep, and I'm gonna post it on
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: one of the counters in the kitchen so you can
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: watch it while you're cooking.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: But there was a definite shift in the evening from
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: Thanksgiving to Christmas because we did we ate two Thanksgiving
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: meals okay, or one really late one, so by the
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: time we were through eating dessert was done, we watched
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: like the lighting of the Christmas tree in like downtown Atlanta.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: Oh okay, and you had to be in front of
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: the TV. And that was the it was. You flipped
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: the switch and went from Thanksgiving to Christmas just like that.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: I wish I well, number one, we didn't watch the
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: lighting of the Christmas tree in downtown Atlanta.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: Well, that would have been weird in Saint Louis.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: But number two, I wish that everybody would still follow
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: that rule and switch the flip the switch for Christmas
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: on Thanksgiving night rather than two days before Halloween, because
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: we went to Low's two days before Halloween to see
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: if there were any like Halloween stuff on clearance that
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: we might be able to get, and they already had
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: up Christmas trees and Christmas stuff, and I'm like, really,
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: like two days before Halloween. You know, it used to
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: be after Thanksgiving, and then it started before Thanksgiving, and
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: then it was like immediately after Halloween. And I'm like, okay, whatever,
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: I mean, I don't really like it, but it is
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: what it is. Now they're starting it before Halloween. Really, like,
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: come on, people, let's quit cross pollinating our holidays.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: Do you remember when you told Emmy she couldn't listen
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: to Christmas music till after Thanksgiving.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: Well, what I said was, or what I meant was
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: what I said was no Christmas music before Thanksgiving because
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: we were all in the car together and she wanted
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: to listen to Christmas music, and I said, no Christmas
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: music before Thanksgiving. I was just talking about myself, and
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: I didn't want to listen to it in the car
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: because I didn't want to get sick of it by
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: the time Christmas rolled around. She took it as she
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: wasn't allowed to listen to Christmas music before Thanksgiving.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: She's with like various relatives, not with us, but it
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: was still before Thanksgiving and they're trying to listen to
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: Christmas music, and she's like, I can't listen to Christmas music.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: My Danny said, I can't listen to Christmas to get
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: the laughter Thanksgiving. So then I realized at that point,
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: like I had to spell everything out in detail.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: Yes, we've chased a lot of rabbits.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: We sure have.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: You're ready to get back on the track.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: Get into the meat of why we're here.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: Let's do it.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: Charlie Brown. Thanksgiving. I love obviously. I loved it as
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: a kid. I still love it now we've introduced We
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: introduced it Emmy when she was real little. Remember we
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: got her the DVDs of the Three Holidays and she
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: loves it. It starts out with the football kick Dude,
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: where Lucy convinces Charlie Brown that this time she's going
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: to hold the football for it to be different, this time,
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: to be different, this time.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: Come on, Charlie Brown, I'll hold the ball and you
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: kick it. Hold it, you'll pull it. Away and flat
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: on my back and kill myself.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: I'm sure a lot of people can relate with bad
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: relationships that they've been in where they go back and
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: they end up getting burned again, and then the person
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: comes back to him it's like, no, no, it'll be different
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: this time, and it really is.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: No, it never is.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: Ultimately, we kind of are what we are and oh absolutely,
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: and we're not really going to change our habits or
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: our personalities or anything. So Charlie Brown knew it. I
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: think deep down he knew it. But yet the hopefulness,
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: the little tiny bit of hopefulness that Charlie Brown has
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: because he doesn't have a lot, but the little bitty
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: tiny bit of hopefulness that he had allowed him to
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: be tricked once more.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: Poor guy, he's so simple, he is. It's just a
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: simple little fella.
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: I feel like, though, if he hadn't walked back a
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: half mile, correct, it gave her time to maybe even
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: think about it and reconsider it. I don't know if
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: she was genuine or not. I have a feeling she
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: probably wasn't, because that's how Lucy was. But yeah, you know,
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: he runs up a half mile, she pulls the football
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: from him, he goes flying through the air doing flips
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: and lands on his back, and as he says, and
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: kill myself.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: Tis terrible.
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: What I didn't notice though, or I guess I don't
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: think I had ever realized it until we watched it
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: again this time. Was that's the only time Lucy appears
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: in this episode?
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, she's not. You don't see her at the meal.
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: No, she's not in an episode at all other than
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: at the beginning when she pulls away the football. Maybe
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: she was banned after that.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: Good she probably should have been. Now why were they
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: standing at the mailbox?
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: Charlie Brown was looking for.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: A card from the Little Redhanded Girl.
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: No, no, that's Valentine's No, he was just looking for
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: a card because of the holiday. And that's why Sally's like,
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: they don't send cards for Thanksgiving.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: They should though, But.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: I love how Charlie Brown says, holidays always depressed me.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: I mean, is there more sad Sack as a kid
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: than Charlie.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: Charlie Brown is the e Or of the Peanuts franchise.
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes, yet we still love him anyway.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: Well we still love you? Or anyway we yes? Do
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: they always include e or they accept him for who
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: he is.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: So it's funny that we were talking about, you know,
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: them having Christmas stuff stuff up at you know, before Halloween,
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: because that's what Sally tells Charlie Brown, right, like they
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: have Christmas stuff up already. He's like, oh no, you know,
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: he's he can't believe that they've got Christmas stuff up
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: before Thanksgiving. And now here I am forty years later
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: going I can't believe they have yeah, Christmas stuff up
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: before Halloween.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: So then we get into the whole Standish Miles Yes
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: fiasco and it's not really a fiasco. It's only a
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: fiasco in this house.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: She calls him Stanley Miles, Yes, Stanley Miles, and Charlie says,
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: don't you mean Miles Standish. So the reason why Lindsay
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: said Standish Miles and not Miles Standish is because on
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: the Charlie Brown Thanksgiving DVD version, there is another episode
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: after that about the Mayflower coming over and the kids
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: are talking about I think maybe Linis is the narrator
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: for that.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: I don't even remember.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: It's a little boring, and it is, it's very boring.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: But he but she loved it when she was little.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: Emmy did, Yes, yes.
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: And so we uh, they mentioned standish miles instead of
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: mile standing. They say it, they say it a few
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: times and next thing we know, a little two and
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: a half year old in he's walking around going standish miles,
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: standish miles, standish miles, and we're like, what is she saying?
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: Like is there somebody at her school? Like that's a
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: weird name. And then eventually we looked it up and
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: that it was you got to reverse it. It's miles standards.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: And I thought when we googled it and it came
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: up that you know, this was he was a real
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: person in history. I thought she was a genius.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: You thought she was learning it in school.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: I did. I'm like, oh my gosh, we have a
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: child prodigy.
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: I think that's every parent's hope, right when they're a
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: little toddler. So I love that, you know, Sally says,
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: you know, I'm not even done with my Halloween cans
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: Thanksgiving already. I'm not even done with my Halloween candy yet.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: I mean, do you remember still having Halloween candiate Thanksgiving?
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: Heck?
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, of us too, us too.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: And I just today threw some away. I was like,
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: I'm done with this the chocolate's gone.
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: Right, Once the chocolate's gone, there's no.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: Reason we're down to twizzlers and dumb dumbs and whatever.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, yeah, it's time for this to go.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: The bad candy yep, all right. So what's what's something
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: else that you noticed?
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: Well? I love that Peppermint Patty invites herself over.
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: Yes, I had that down too.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: But not only does she invite herself, she invites Marcy,
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: and then she invites.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: Frank Yeah, she starts inviting the whole community.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: All yo.
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: So Charlie Brown's a lot like me. He won't say.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: No, he can't say no. He's a people.
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and so when you know she he's trying to
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: object but he can't really get it out, and she's
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: just so pushy that, yes, she ends up inviting herself over.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: And like you said, Marcy and then Franklin. I'm surprised
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: she didn't invite pig Pen and Schroeder. They weren't even
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: in the episode. I would have liked to have seen
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: Schroeder over there playing some like mood music.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: That would have been good. I want to know, though,
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: who leaves a bunch of kids home alone at Thanksgiving?
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: Because Peppermint Patty had nowhere to go, Marcy had nowhere
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: to go, Franklin had nowhere to go.
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: I think, if I remember quickly, I thought Peppermint Patty
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: said that Marcy's parents said it would be okay if
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: she came over.
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: I think you're right. But still it's Thanksgiving.
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean in the Peanuts gang, or maybe in
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: the seventies, you know, nobody cared.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: It feels like to me that like Snoopy's the big
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: brother of the group because when when the when it
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: comes down to it and it's time to get to work,
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: Snoopy's the one leading the way.
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: Snoopy's always lead the way, either either he's the big
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: brother of the group or he's like the indentured servant
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: of the church. But they're like, go do that.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: But he seems to have the brains.
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: Yes he's there, sure, yeah, sure, even though he can't speak, right,
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: he has the brains.
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: So he and you know his sidekick is Woodstock obviously.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: So I love the fact that you know, Peppermint Patty's
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: being pushy, right, being pushy, pushy, And Charlie Brown says,
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: you can't explain anything to Peppermint Patty she doesn't let you.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: That's awesome. I know people like that.
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, me too.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: I know a lot of people.
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: I know people who invite themselves over yes, or invite
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: themselves to something that you're doing, or invite your themselves
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: to your twenty fifth wedding anniversary.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: Are you thinking about somebody in particular?
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: Nom, just spitballing. I also love hows. Linus seems to
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: be like the moral compass of the show and the
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: historian of the show, and and the problem solver, right
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: because Charlie Brown's freaking out and Linus is like, Okay,
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: well we're going to do this. We're gonna do this,
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: and then Snoopy gets to work on it, like you
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: said's new. He's like the big brother getting to work
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: on it. But really, Linus is the one who solved
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: the problem. Was like, let's do this, and let's do this.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: So they send Snoopy out to you know, get everything
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: set up, to set it all up. What sets off
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: the chair? The chair gets mad well and fights with Snoopy.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: But what makes the chair mad?
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: I think just you know, when you have those chairs,
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: those foldable those old foldable chairs, havn't you ever fought
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: with one trying to get it open and write exactly
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: where you want it. Yeah, you know, and it kind
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: of you know, it tips over one way, fighting becaes
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: it feels like it's fighting back, so it tips over
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: one way. It may scrape you, it may hit you
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: when you're trying to do something. So I thought that
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: was hilarious. I mean, I thought the fact that Snoopy
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: in the in the chair were kind of going like
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: around each other. Yeah. I love the you know, they
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: open the garage though, you know, they pull out like
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: all different kinds of all different styles of chairs.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: I love that.
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: That was That was awesome. That was like my house
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: when I was a bachelor.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: I was gonna say, we could probably do that now
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: in our garage.
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: Well, I was going to say, their garage is full
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: of stuff just as much as our garriage, just full
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: of stuff. Yeah.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: Absolutely. But then so then we cut back to the kitchen.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: After he gets everything set up outside, we cut back
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: to the kitchen. Where did all those toasters come from?
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, that's a that's unexplained.
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: Did they go around to like every house in the
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: neighborhood and borrow everybody's toaster?
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: Maybe they they won a contest or something where they
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: were getting.
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: Free to Yeah. Maybe maybe they went to one of
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: those timeshare seminars.
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, everybody, everybody on the block went uh huh,
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: and they got all the toasters.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: The Thanksgiving meal comes down to popcorn, buttered toast, pretzel sticks,
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: jelly beans, and Sunday ice cream.
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: Sunday Yes, yes, the ultimate kids Thanksgiving dam I.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: Mean it sounds pretty good to me. I could go
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: for some good buttered toast right now.
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: You know, I like popcorn. The only thing that I
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: probably wouldn't really dig the pretzel sticks. But other than that,
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: everything else is pretty good. As long as they didn't
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: have any of the black jelly beans. This tastes like
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: black liquors.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I would probably I could probably do without the
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: jelly beans.
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: But you know, you know you mentioned popcorn, right, Snoopy's
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: cooking that popcorn on a tray like Drew Barrymore at
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: the beginning of Scream, right before she gets slaughtered.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: Do you like that Snoopy and Woodstock dress up like Pilgrims. Yes,
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: so I was gonna sayestivities.
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: I was gonna say that, so Snoopy. Snoopy wears a
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: chef hat while he's while he's cooking, right, but then
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: he goes and gets the pilgrim hat like I wear
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: it Thanksgiving. So yeah, I absolutely love that.
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: But much like real life, Peppermint Patty gets upset about
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: the meal, isn't there always at least one family member
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: that gets bent out of shape.
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: At Thanksgiving about something about something? Yes, absolutely, it happens
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: every year. If you have a big enough family, there
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: is a family member that's going to get bent out
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: of shape. Whether they're live in the house or whether
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: they come from Afar, there's gonna be somebody that coul's
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: been out of shape. I love the fact that she says,
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: what Blockhead cooked all?
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: I feel like I've heard your siblings say that at Thanksgiving?
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: What block had I had cooked all this? I love
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: that Peppermint Patty complains about a free meal that she invited.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: Herself to, like she totally invited herself. She because she
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: invited herself, she started the ball rolling that led to
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: all of this work for all of these people, Like
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: everybody probably would have been much happier if she had
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: have just not brought it up and stayed at home.
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: Yes, I agree, and I love the fact that Marcy
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: calls her on her shenanigans. I mean, she calls her
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: out like, well, did you did he invite you? Or
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: did you invite yourself?
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: Sir? Sir.
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: I love the fact that Marcy calls her sir. And
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: there's been a lot of theories out there about why
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: Marcy calls her sir. You know why Marcy calls her sir?
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: Marcy calls her sir? Why because she's got these big,
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: thick Coke bottled glasses. She can't see more than two
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: inches in front of her face. I'm surprised she was
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: able to find the food. So of course, you know,
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: Charlie Brown feels bad about ruining everyone's Thanksgiving. Basically he's you.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: Yes, he takes that on, yes, yes.
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: You and Charlie Brown, Oh, I feel so bad about no,
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: like you didn't ruin Thanksgiving, like these people invited themselves over,
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: you know, their fault, not yours. We also find out
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: Peppermint Patty's real name in this episode. Do you remember
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: what it was?
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: No, Priscilla, Oh, Priscilla.
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: I can't remember who called her Priscilla. I think it
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: was Marcy, but I'm pretty sure it was Marcy because
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: then she started calling Charlie Brown Charles.
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: I think, oh, that's so funny. She's very formal.
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes, Marcy is very formal. Again, probably because she
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: can't see more than two feet in front of her face.
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: Oh so then Charles calls his grandma and apologizes and
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: said they're gonna be a little bit late, and it's
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: his fault, right.
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: Right, because again because he had this kid's Thanksgiving dinner
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: that you know, several people invited themselves over to, or
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: one person invited several people over to, you know, going
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: back to the dinner. I love the fact that they
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: had it on a ping pong table, yes, and that
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: they put a tablecloth or it's probably sheet, right, it
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: was totally it's the sheet they put over it to
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: make it fancy. And then you know the different styles
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: of chairs, a rocking chair, a blue chair, a green chair,
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: a lounge chair.
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: It's like a wicker like kind of an eighties wicker
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: type chair.
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes, so I love the uh. I love the
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: dinner scene, and I love you know, going back to that.
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: Before you know, Marsie calls her out to Shenanigans. I
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: love the where's the mashed potatoes? Where's the cranberry sauce.
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: Where's the pumpkin pie? Marshy's calling out all the uh,
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: all the traditional Thanksgiving foods that I had. So you
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: know we had mashed potatoes. I know you. You didn't
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: have mashed potatoes, right, you had sweet potatoes. Yes, we
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: had mashed potatoes. We did have cranberry sauce. Did you
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: have cranberries?
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: Oh? Absolutely, straight from the can with the ridges on
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: it and everything.
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: So did you have green beans any form of green
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: beans like casserole?
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: No? No, no, no, no, okay, So I.
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: Would prefer green beans. And I believe when we move
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: Thanksgiving over to our house as I got older, my
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: mom made green beans. But I believe prior to that,
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: when we were over at our aunt Marsha's, undoubtedly we
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: probably had green bean casserole.
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: With the onion.
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, with the onion. Yes, okay, So I'm not a
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: casserole fan at all.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: Yes, I know, I learned that the hard way. No.
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, let's just make our food be food and not
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: mush with cream of whatever soup in it and fried
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: burnt onion strings over them.
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: What kind of dessert.
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: We always? I mean we always I always remember pumpkin pie.
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: I'm sure there were other pies, but I always remember
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: pumpkin pies. But again, I only like two kinds of pie.
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: I know people can't see me right now, but I'm
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: shaking my.
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: Head because after fifteen years, you finally get it. I've
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: gotten you the previous fourteen years, though, go ahead, ask
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: what kind of pies do you like?
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: John?
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: Hot pie and cold pie?
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: Did you notice when Charlie Brown was talking to his grandma,
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: I think she asks, have your friends had anything to eat?
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: Do you remember? What? He says? We don't know because
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: we don't hear her, right, we.
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: Hear wah wah wah wah wah. But you think that's
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: what she was asking?
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he says no. As a matter of fact, they haven't.
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: They've let me know that with no uncertain terms.
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: See, That's why I love Charlie Brown. He's just so
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: really authentic, right, he really is. He's authentic. He's was
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: me and then and then he you know, he lets
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: you know about his bad time. Yep, so you know,
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: I I don't think I think I realized that, but
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: I did not write that down. And that's that's funny.
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: I love that.
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: I love that too.
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: So then they all load up in the station wagon.
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: Uh huh, So who's driving the station wagon if nobody
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: was home?
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: We don't know.
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: It's not Snoopy.
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: No, because this is my issue with the whole entire show.
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: They leave Snoopy at home, right, Snoopy and Woodstock don't go, No.
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: Who's gonna take up? What is Woodstock? A pair?
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: Keet? What is Woodstock?
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: I don't know. He's got a big beak and he's
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: got yellow hair. I mean he's yellow all over, but
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: his hair's kind of frizzy and kind of sticks up.
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: I don't know what he is. I bet one of
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: our listeners know what kind of bird Woodstock is.
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: Probably i'd love to hear.
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: I bet I know somebody who knows who Woodstock. I
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: guess we'll talk about them in a minute. Okay, Yeah,
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: So they leave Snooping the Bird at home. That's what
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: Emmy used to call him when.
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: She was.
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: She didn't know his name was Woodstock, but she knew
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: Snoopy and she shortened everybody's name, so she called them
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: Snooping the Bird. So they leave them behind. Uh, and
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: I love the fact that they uh break out their
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: own turkey and their own dinner.
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: That's when he brings out the good stock.
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: He's not gonna waste it on the Peppermint Patty inviting
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: her over.
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: He waits until everybody's gone. Poor Charlie Brown, you know
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: he's suffered the wrath of Peppermint Patty, and then he
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: brings out the feast.
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: The wrath of Peppermint Patty and the embarrassment and the
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: shame that he felt with all his other friends around,
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: and Peppermint Patty dresses him down and humiliates him as
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: if he were a private in the army and she
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: was the drill sergeant.
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: Well, they say a dog is a man's best friend.
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: I would have to argue here in this situation, Snoopy
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: was not Charlie Brown's best friend.
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: He's not Woodstock. Snoopy is Woodstock's best Oh, oh, there you go?
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: Or Woodstock is Snoopy's best friend.
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: There they go.
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: But they are, they are best friends. They're they're right
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: or die, Yes, for sure. I love the fact that
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: you know they they're going to grand Grandma's house in
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: the station wagon and they're singing over the river and
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: through the woods to grandmother's house. We go, But they
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: get it wrong, and and Peppermint Patty missed no at all?
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: Know what all? Peppermint Patty goes, no, no, no, here's how
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: it goes.
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: Here she goes again.
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: But apparently Peppermint Patty's a really good baseball player, because
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: Charlie Brown says that do his grandma too?
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: Oh that's funny. Yeah, that's funny. And at the very end,
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: Snoopy and Woodstock pull the wishbone. I don't remember that,
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: you don't. Oh, I do not remember that. And that's
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: how it ends. It's a little anti climatic.
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, pulled the wishbone, and Woodstock goes flying. Yep, who
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: won the wishbone?
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: I think what Stock did? Okay, but I don't know.
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't remember either. I didn't. I did not
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: write that down.
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: I didn't either.
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: I think the thing that I was, you know, the
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: two things that I was kind of blown away about
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: it was one, it was made in nineteen seventy three,
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: so it probably you know, showed at the nineteen seventy
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: three Thanksgiving, which was less than a month before I
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: was born, so kind of special to me there. And
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: then the other thing that kind of blew me away
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: was without commercials.
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: How short it was, man, it is super short.
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: I don't even think it was twenty minutes, right, But
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: it would last a whole half an hour on CBS
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: back in the day because they'd fill that with commercials
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: because they knew all the kids were watching. Yeah, yep,
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: knew all the kids were watching.
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: So I have before we wrap up, did you have
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: anything else about Peanuts?
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: I mean, I just love Peanuts as a whole as
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: a kid. You know, all the shows, they'd have specials,
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: they'd have movies. You know, I think Charles Schultz was
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: a genius.
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he really was, And so I loved it.
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: You know, it was again, three stations, adult content on
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: every night all night, and so when a special like
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: Charlie Brown came on or Rudolph the Red News Reindeer,
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: which we may talk about next month, you know, you
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: were all in, like you were selling out. You were
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: selling out for that, and you were in front of
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: the TV and you weren't missing it. So those are
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: kind of my memories and kind of the final thing
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: that that I had.
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: So I did, I didn't, I did mean a little
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: good go search, Oh you did? This is the only
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: Thanksgiving special that I remember, you know cartoons special?
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: Was there not a Garfield so?
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, so I'm going to get to that. Yes,
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: but I don't remember a Thanksgiving special for Garfield. So
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: I did a little Google search. Did you ever see
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: Daffy Docs thanks for Giving Special?
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: If I did, I don't remember it. I wouldn't be
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: surprised if I did, and if I saw it again,
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: maybe it jogs the memory. But right now, offhand, I
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: can't remember what it would have been about.
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: And then apparently there was a Winnie the Pooh Thanksgiving
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: Special nineteen eighty three, Pooh Corner Thanksgiving.
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: Was there a Berenstain Bears? Yes, Thanksgiving Special?
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: Yes, Night the Berenstein Bears meet Big Paul.
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: I love the fact that you called them Berenstein Bears
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: because I don't care what anybody says. When I was
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: growing up, it was not spelled ai in. It was
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: spelled ei in. Because I remember looking and I know
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: people are going to say this is the Mandela effect.
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: I remember looking at the book. I have this specific
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: memory of looking at the book and wondering, is it
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: Berenstein or is it barren Stein. If it had an
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: A on it, I would have known it was barren Stein. Yes,
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: so at some point, somehow, either we or the books
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: have flipped to a different dimension. Okay, art Bell, but
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: I'm telling you it was Berenstein or Berenstein. But they
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: had a Thanksgiving special.
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: Yes they did. Okay, Cubert, do you remember Cubert?
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: Of course I probably wasted. You know, if I had
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: invested the quarters that I've wasted on Cubert as a kid,
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: I might be Warren Buffett right now.
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: Duh. Nineteen eighty three, Cubert, Thanksgiving for the Memories.
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: I do not remember that.
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: Nineteen eighty six, The care Bears, Graham's Bears Thanksgiving Surprise.
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: I definitely would not have watched that.
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: And we've already talked about this one. Nineteen eighty eight.
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: This is America, Charlie Brown, the Mayflower of Voyagers.
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: Yes, so, yes, that's what it was that they've put
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: on the DVD on the back half of its Charlie
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: Brown Thanksgame.
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: It covered everything from the trans Continental Railroad to John
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: Philip Sousa.
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: Really yeah, I did not know that. Maybe I have
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: to go back and watch it, maman.
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: And then nineteen eighty nine, I don't remember, but nineteen
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: eighty nine Garfield's Thanksgiving.
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought, uh, I thought he had lasagna for
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: Thanksgiving dinner.
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: John messes up the traditional Thanksgiving meal, so Garfield calls
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: Grandma and she comes to the rescue.
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: With a lasagna or with traditional Thanksgiving.
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: It says, Grandma cuts up the bird with the chainsaw
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: before they all sit down to hold hens to eat
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: Thanksgiving dinner.
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: Grandma might have been the star of a bad guy
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: slasher fil me. I know she's cutting up a turget
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: with a chainsaw.
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to see if I can find it,
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: because I just was.
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: It a live bird? What?
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: Hope not? I mean it had been at one point
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: in time.
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: But so those were the cartoons, uh Thanksgiving specials during
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: the eighties. Yes, interesting, Yeah, I don't know that I've
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: seen any of my probably have seen the Daffy Duck.
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: I don't think I've seen the Baronstain Bears. I love
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: the Barons Name Bears as a kid, and still even
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: when Emmy was little and she had me read to her,
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: I loved reading her The Barns Nain Bears me too,
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: the Bears Bear story. So I would I would probably
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: still dig that, obviously, Charlie Brown, I would probably. I
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: don't know that I've seen the Garfield one, but I
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: would probably like that too. I always love Garfield. I
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: don't think i'd really enjoy any of the other ones.
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree. I think they probably didn't hold hold
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: up well over the years.
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: What Charlie Brown did.
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: I em I mean, he's classics.
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: Fifty years fifty years ago. This is twenty twenty three.
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: It was made fifty years ago, so just blows me away.
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that is crazy when you really think about it, right,
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: because we can still relate to it.
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes, it's still very very relatable. I talk about
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: you know, relatable kids cartoons, right, Like, you know, the
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: Smurf weren't relatable, Alvin and these are cartoons that I loved.
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: Alvin and the Chipmunks was it relatable. Super Friends wasn't relatable.
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: Charlie Brown or the Peanuts Gang all very relatable. Real
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: kids emotions, real kids fears and thoughts and whatever. The
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: only other cartoon I believe that I've seen that that
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: is so relatable and so lifelike with you know, the
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: way kids think and the way they feel is probably Arthur.
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: You know, we're getting out of the eighties now.
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: But I love me some, Arthur.
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's that's a good one. All right. So
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: have you gotten all your thoughts out on Charlie?
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, I think so. I sure enjoyed watching it.
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: I did two. I mean, it's it's become tradition. Now
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: we have to watch it every Thanksgiving. I have to
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: watch the Christmas one every Christmas. Got a lot of
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: Christmas stuff to w I.
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: Mean, we're going to be busy, and we're already busy
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: without even the list of things we're gonna have to
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: watch on TV, right right.
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: No, you know, I don't even know if we'll even
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: be able to turn on the TV during December. People
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: if playing so much stuff for us, I know. But
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: you know, if you liked, if you liked this episode,
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: if you like cartoons, let me turn you on to
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: a podcast that you may enjoy, and that is called
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: Cartoon Commotion with my good buddy Cad and Jiggy. Cad
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: does an excellent job of giving you information about cartoons
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: that you probably weren't aware of. I mean, he breaks
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: these things down like like he's a professor in a
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: college game. He does, and he's got so much enthusiasm
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: for it so much passion for it. You can just tell.
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: He's great at the social media game as well. You
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: can find him out. He's all over the place, But
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: I would recommend tuning into Cartoon Commotion if you like cartoons.
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: He does all the retro stuff, mostly eighties and nineties,
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: but it's not all eighties and nineties. He did an
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: episode on Top Kat which was a hand of Barbaro
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: cartoon from the sixties. So yeah, he's he's great, and
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: he knows. He knows his stuff.
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: He knows stuff. Are you going to ask him about woodstock?
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm sure he knows. I'm sure he knows what
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: kind of bird woodstock is, and probably some of the
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: other questions that we had that we weren't that we

• 44:20
  Speaker 1: It really doesn't matter. It's all about being thankful, spending
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: time with family and friends and making memories. No, really
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: doesn't matter what you eat.
