Okay.

SPEAKER_02 0:43

So I prepare myself like water in my water bottle. I'm like, this is gonna last me a while, and then I drink it all. Like right after I think I'm gonna hold on to this for a while.

SPEAKER_00 0:52

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 0:53

Because then I I like take a sip, be like, ooh, I like that. I like the water. So I I drink the rest. Okay. And then it's gone.

SPEAKER_06 0:59

I mean, that's better than uh because uh I mean that's me and like candy.

SPEAKER_01 1:05

Yeah. Or snacks. I I need candy. Yeah, take one and then it's gone. Yeah. The rest of it.

SPEAKER_06 1:14

I got a whole bowl full now. It's gonna take me a while. Five minutes later. Empty bowl. Bow bowl. Bowl. That's a difficult word for me.

SPEAKER_01 1:26

It is bowl.

SPEAKER_06 1:27

Because uh I make it sound like ball.

SPEAKER_02 1:31

It's an empty bowl.

SPEAKER_06 1:33

Bowl.

SPEAKER_02 1:33

I mean I guess there's worse problems I can have. I'm I'm gonna I'm gonna confess something. Okay. Okay. So if I go over to someone's house and they ask me if I want something to drink, like, yes, I would like some water. I'd like a glass of water. And they're like, okay, uh, and they gave they give me a glass of water and I I down the whole thing right then and there. Even though I'm sure that they're expecting me to just sip it over time.

SPEAKER_00 1:58

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:58

But I like I get really thirsty. So I have to drink the whole thing. And so I down this glass of water, and then I don't want to be like, okay, but uh can I have some more?

SPEAKER_06 2:10

You're like, shut, shut, shut, shut.

SPEAKER_02 2:13

No, that's not even what I'm thinking. I'm just thinking, I'm gonna have some water, and then I I just like I do, I chug the whole thing. Yeah, and then it's gone, and then I want more water, but yeah. Yeah, okay. I guess if I'm so desperate, I'll just get up and get more myself. Anyway, okay. Fun stories.

SPEAKER_06 2:34

You know, I think it's kind of funny that we didn't have warm-ups, but when we started, we started having warm-ups.

SPEAKER_02 2:42

Yeah, yeah. It was just something that came up in my head. Um, I I feel like m my uh the way I respond to my glass of water isn't what's expected.

SPEAKER_06 2:53

Okay. Yeah. I just drink it really quick. Yeah, I don't have that problem.

SPEAKER_02 2:57

You don't drink water.

SPEAKER_06 2:58

I don't.

SPEAKER_02 2:59

You don't hydrate.

SPEAKER_06 3:01

That's why I don't have that problem.

SPEAKER_01 3:03

I guess.

SPEAKER_06 3:04

Makes sense.

SPEAKER_01 3:04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 3:05

Uh no, but uh it's more snacks for me.

SPEAKER_01 3:09

Mm. You get snacky.

SPEAKER_06 3:11

Yeah, I have that problem with snacks. Cause when I have candy or whatever, I I'm like, how fast can I get this down in my stomach? You know?

SPEAKER_01 3:22

I think that's that's not good.

SPEAKER_06 5:04

Good. Okay, that was that.

SPEAKER_02 5:07

Alright.

SPEAKER_06 5:08

Uh how Let's take a break. Yeah. How was your week?

Weekend Recap: Kids, Sports, And Live Stream

SPEAKER_02 5:13

My week was it was alright. Yeah. Kinda busy. I mean, there's like sometimes my week feels really busy, but then sometimes it feels like I'm not doing anything at all.

SPEAKER_00 5:26

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 5:27

I have like really busy moments and then like way too calm moments. So uh last weekend my daughter had a competition in gymnastics. Oh yeah. Yes. Um, and it went well. We got up really early and we uh went to the competition we watched, but it was her first competition ever, so they didn't really get places, you know. But the judges were still taking down points. So I got to hear from our judge because every team has to present a or provide a judge.

SPEAKER_05 6:07

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 6:08

Right?

SPEAKER_05 6:09

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 6:10

Um, so uh our judge came to me uh later on in the week and she told me that our group had actually gotten fourth place, but there was another team uh from the same gymnastics club, whatever, uh, that got first.

SPEAKER_00 6:31

Oh.

SPEAKER_02 6:32

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 6:32

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 6:32

I mean, everyone got a medal.

SPEAKER_00 6:34

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 6:35

And like the placings and everything weren't really like official. They were just they were done for fun, pretty much. Um so that happened, and my oldest had his first boxing match the same day, but that was while I was at the competition. So um I missed it and I felt really bad. Yeah and I asked his father to film for me. Have I seen this film yet? No, I haven't.

SPEAKER_00 7:05

No.

SPEAKER_02 7:06

But uh I did talk to my oldest later that evening, and well, I called him and he said that he did not win, but he was uh two points behind.

SPEAKER_05 7:21

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 7:21

So whatever that means, it wasn't great for him. But I mean he he still had fun. It was his first one uh first match, and I think it probably went well. Yeah. I don't know. Okay. Uh that was my Saturday.

SPEAKER_06 7:36

Yeah. I was at home waiting for food because then I was gonna come to you.

SPEAKER_02 7:41

Oh yeah. Oh yeah, we we we did that.

SPEAKER_06 7:44

Yeah. So uh yeah. Uh I um ev or eventually was ready for you to come pick me up.

SPEAKER_02 7:56

And then we had live mad libs.

SPEAKER_06 7:59

Yes, we did.

SPEAKER_02 8:00

And I think it went well.

SPEAKER_06 8:02

Yeah. You also shaved my head.

SPEAKER_02 8:04

SPEAKER_06 8:10

SPEAKER_02 8:47

Our third karaoke. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 8:49

Cool.

SPEAKER_02 8:50

And it's always fun. Yeah. Oh my gosh, we have so much fun. Uh, every year. Uh, I believe there is one line that still sticks in my head, and it was from one of my songs. Oh, I had last Christmas. I had a really funny line, but I don't think I'm gonna say that here. I I knew that there was one line that just broke everything.

SPEAKER_03 9:14

I like tore down the microphone and everything.

SPEAKER_02 9:16

Yeah, it was good.

SPEAKER_05 9:18

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 9:19

But I believe you can find the recording of last year's Christmas karaoke on YouTube.

SPEAKER_05 9:27

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 9:27

So uh go do that because it's a fun time. Anyway, that was Saturday. We also had Sunday.

SPEAKER_05 9:35

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 9:36

What did I do? I uh brought my daughter to her gymnastics. She had training uh again uh even after her competition on Saturday, but she wanted me to watch her, so I stayed there and I watched her, and then I ended up working, of course. Because for some reason I can't just sit at these things, I have to be a part of it. Uh so I assisted in spotting some of the girls and maybe playing a little bit as well. Yeah. I got pressured into showing off my skills.

SPEAKER_05 10:14

Ah, okay.

SPEAKER_06 10:16

Yeah. I stayed home. Oh. I think. Yeah. And uh then yeah, uh that was Sunday, right?

SPEAKER_02 10:25

Yeah. Well, I also went to my gymnastics class later that evening. So I went into town twice.

SPEAKER_05 10:33

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 10:34

I had fun and I hurt my toe. So yeah, that's usually how it goes. So uh how'd the week go for you?

SPEAKER_06 10:41

Uh been at work the entire week. I it went well. It's been a fairly good week at work.

SPEAKER_02 10:49

Good. It's been tough waking up.

SPEAKER_06 10:51

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 10:51

Especially because you were sick last week, right? Yeah. So not only were you working day shift, exactly. You also hadn't worked for a week.

SPEAKER_05 11:01

True.

SPEAKER_02 11:02

So it must have been tough.

SPEAKER_06 11:04

Yeah, and uh you have to like reset your sleeping pattern every other week. Yeah. That's messed up.

SPEAKER_02 11:14

Yeah. My week?

SPEAKER_06 11:15

Your week? How was it?

Weekly Life Updates & Work Rhythms

SPEAKER_02 11:16

It went well. I went to an old colleague's house on Monday, and we were supposed to grill.

SPEAKER_05 11:26

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 11:27

But the majority of the people wanted to stay inside because dark and cold and rainy. Oh yeah. We didn't want to grill outside. So we uh quote unquote grilled inside on the stove.

SPEAKER_00 11:40

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 11:42

And Sick Child was there, and my life partner and Sick Child became really good friends with my old colleague. And yeah, it was it was nice, it was fun. Everyone tolerated Sick Child and his bursts of energy. And he just wanted to show off.

SPEAKER_05 12:00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 12:01

Yeah. Uh Tuesday I uh led spinning. It was fun. Wednesday, my daughter made me go swimming with her, always fun. Yesterday was Thursday. What happened then? Oh, I went to gymnastics. I taught gymnastics and I got help this time, so it went better.

SPEAKER_00 12:19

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 12:19

Than the past couple of weeks. So, I mean, my week's been pretty good. Yeah. And I got a good grade on my math test today. So I'm I'm feeling pretty good.

SPEAKER_06 12:46

SPEAKER_02 12:47

Um, would you like to move on?

SPEAKER_06 12:49

Let's move on.

SPEAKER_02 12:51

What?

SPEAKER_06 12:51

Let's move on. Right.

SPEAKER_02 12:54

Tonight we watched the Breakfast Club and Mexican Mel Gibson.

SPEAKER_06 13:02

Yeah. Yeah. It's uh called Get the Gringo.

SPEAKER_01 13:06

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_06 13:06

But I kinda like another title that it has.

SPEAKER_02 13:09

Uh, Mex Gibson.

SPEAKER_06 13:11

Yeah, Mex Gibson. That's what it's called.

SPEAKER_02 13:14

That's what it should be called.

SPEAKER_06 13:15

Mex Gringo.

SPEAKER_02 13:17

Okay.

SPEAKER_06 13:18

Um, um how I spent my summer vacation.

SPEAKER_02 13:24

Interesting. That sounds like opposite of what it should be.

SPEAKER_06 13:28

Yeah. Um the kind of fun title for a serious movie. Yeah, for this kind of movie.

SPEAKER_02 13:34

Yeah, that sounds like a comedy.

SPEAKER_06 13:36

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 13:37

I'd be disappointed if I went to see this movie expecting it to be a comedy, and then it's just all serious. Like, what's this? I mean, sure, there was a couple of funny points. Anyway, uh we're we're gonna we're gonna talk about the Breakfast Club. Yeah. Anyway. We'll get to Mexican Mel Gibson later.

SPEAKER_00 13:57

But Gibson.

SPEAKER_02 13:58

Mex Gibson. I'm gonna talk about the break break break break break.

SPEAKER_06 14:02

Break break break break break.

Movie Night Setup

SPEAKER_02 14:03

Break break break break into chickens here. Okay, okay. The Breakfast Club is what you're gonna tell me about.

SPEAKER_06 14:21

Oh yeah, yes I am.

SPEAKER_02 14:22

We started with that movie, and you get to tell me what is that.

SPEAKER_06 14:27

Uh this movie stars. Okay, Judd Nelson has like the biggest role.

SPEAKER_00 14:33

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 14:34

Molly Ringwald, Emilio Estevis, of course, Anthony Michael Hall, Paul Gleason, and the other girl Alice. Ellie Yeah. Ellie Sheedy.

SPEAKER_01 14:46

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 14:46

Yeah. This is a John Hughes movie. It's about a group of youths get like detention on a Saturday. They have very strict supervisor guy guy. I don't know why I'm so low, but yeah, they have their own personalities. Or at least Judd Nelson's character is kind of a rebellious kid. They're supposed to write an essay, or but they don't really do that. They have other things they talk about or do instead. And yeah, what do I miss?

The Breakfast Club: Plot & Themes

SPEAKER_02 15:23

Let's see. Basically they're there for like eight hours, right? And they pretty much kill the time by getting to know each other and it gets a little dramatic. And uh I mean they're kids, so they're gonna try to have some fun.

SPEAKER_05 15:43

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 15:43

As well. Yeah, you said that Judd Nelson is a bit rebellious, but in a way, if you think about it, they're all kind of rebellious in their own ways.

SPEAKER_06 15:52

He's the most open about it.

SPEAKER_02 15:54

Yeah. That's basically it, I think.

SPEAKER_06 15:56

Yeah. It's kind of difficult to give a synopsis to this one. Or or like lengthy without going into what they're talking about. But I think you'll have to see the movie if you want.

SPEAKER_02 16:08

If you haven't, then you have to.

SPEAKER_06 16:11

Yeah. So what do you think about this movie?

SPEAKER_02 16:13

I uh love this movie. This is definitely a favorite. Okay. At least like top hundred, because I mean, I have a lot of favorite movies.

SPEAKER_00 16:23

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 16:24

This movie I I saw it first in my sociology class in high school.

SPEAKER_05 16:30

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 16:31

We were supposed to uh like keep an eye on the differences between the kids and uh yeah, their personalities and their problems and uh the drama in their lives.

SPEAKER_06 16:45

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 16:46

Basically.

SPEAKER_06 16:47

Because it feels like they're from like different social groups.

SPEAKER_02 16:51

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 16:51

Every single one of them.

SPEAKER_02 16:53

Oh yeah. You've got the brain, the athlete, the basket case, the princess, and the criminal.

SPEAKER_04 17:00

Or rebel.

SPEAKER_02 17:01

Yeah. They all come from different social statuses, they're in different cliques at school, and yeah. They're all different, but in a way they're all kind of suffering. They're all um unsatisfied with their home lives. And that's the one thing that they have in common. And that's kind of what they bond over.

SPEAKER_06 17:25

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 17:26

Yeah. What did you think about this movie?

SPEAKER_06 17:28

Yeah, it's kind of fun. I haven't seen the entire thing before.

SPEAKER_02 17:32

This is your first time.

SPEAKER_06 17:34

Seeing the entire thing, yes. I've seen I think that like the only thing I've seen is the dance scene, actually.

SPEAKER_02 17:41

Oh, okay. Did you like it?

SPEAKER_06 17:42

Yeah, I did.

SPEAKER_02 17:43

Okay.

SPEAKER_06 17:44

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 17:44

I have another question.

SPEAKER_06 17:46

Okay.

Which Character Are You

SPEAKER_02 17:47

Was there one of the characters, uh the kids that you related to the most, whether it be now or when you were in high school? Who did you relate to the most?

SPEAKER_06 18:02

I think I relate most to Anthony Michael Hall, the nerd.

SPEAKER_01 18:08

Okay, yeah. Alright.

SPEAKER_06 18:10

That was me. Who was you? Okay. Who were you?

SPEAKER_01 18:12

Who am I? Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 18:15

Okay. Who are you?

SPEAKER_00 18:16

Who are you?

SPEAKER_02 18:18

Um, I related mostly to the basket case.

SPEAKER_05 18:24

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 18:24

You know, it's kind of funny because I did feel like really dark at the time. You uh probably couldn't really see it at first. Because I didn't like always dress up all like dark and goth. I mean, there were some times I did, but mostly it was like a band t-shirt and some jeans. Yeah. Right? That was my style. But um, so like I had this dark, sad personality, but I was a cheerleader at the same time.

SPEAKER_06 18:55

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 18:56

So I was like conflicting. I was conflicting, yeah. Kind of a walking contradiction, if you think about it. So uh I knew how to fake a smile, which I don't know, can be kind of dangerous sometimes. But um, yeah, I I wasn't nearly as artistic as this girl was. No. But I was artistic in a way, at a lower level. Yeah. My own way. And yeah, uh yeah. I I guess I also felt kind of alone.

SPEAKER_05 19:32

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 19:33

Because her problem at home was that her parents ignored her. Maybe sometimes I felt the same.

SPEAKER_06 19:41

Yeah. I'm not very much like the nerd guy, but then again, I don't see anyone else that I'm more like. Because I'm not s the sporty kind and I'm not the the criminal. No, I'm I don't think I'm any of the girls either.

SPEAKER_02 19:59

No, you weren't super popular.

SPEAKER_06 20:01

No.

SPEAKER_02 20:01

But you weren't completely alone either.

SPEAKER_06 20:04

No. So I think that the nerd guy was most how I was. But uh with that said, I never had a gun in my locker. Or was it flare gun?

SPEAKER_02 20:15

Yeah, but did you like strive for the highest grades?

SPEAKER_06 20:19

No, absolutely not.

SPEAKER_02 20:20

No, and you didn't feel the pressure to do that either.

SPEAKER_06 20:23

No, absolutely not.

SPEAKER_02 20:24

But you were generally neutral in a group of other kids.

SPEAKER_06 20:30

And kind of like the the shyness in him I can feel. Cause he he felt a little bit shy.

SPEAKER_00 20:36

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_06 20:37

That that was awkward. Yeah, that that was me. I don't know w why, but uh I got a little bit annoyed with the Judd Nelson character.

SPEAKER_01 20:46

Oh yeah?

SPEAKER_06 20:47

Yeah. I didn't really like him that much.

SPEAKER_01 20:49

Okay.

SPEAKER_06 20:50

But maybe that's cause I didn't have the best connection with those type of people.

SPEAKER_02 20:56

Okay. Did he strike a nerve?

SPEAKER_06 20:58

Maybe.

SPEAKER_02 20:59

Some trauma in your life.

SPEAKER_06 21:01

Yeah. Okay. I I don't know. What's funny though is that the Emilio Esteves character, the sporty guy, he kinda looks like w a guy I knew who was a wrestler.

SPEAKER_01 21:14

Okay.

SPEAKER_06 21:15

And we were good friends until he decided that he's too cool for me and my other friend.

SPEAKER_01 21:22

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_06 21:23

Uh that's the guy who kind of just ran away from just disappeared. Yeah, he he didn't want to hang out with us anymore.

SPEAKER_02 21:31

Hmm. Alright.

SPEAKER_06 21:32

Yeah, that's it. I think. Did you have anything else? Is it one character you don't like?

SPEAKER_02 21:38

I never really cared for the princess, Claire.

SPEAKER_06 21:42

No.

SPEAKER_02 21:42

Yeah, no. Uh that's kind of funny that you really didn't like Judd Nelson's character because I really like him. Uh huh. I think he's funny. Oh. Uh, but yeah, no, that's just me. And I don't know. Always been into the rebels.

SPEAKER_06 21:58

SPEAKER_02 22:04

Well, I really like this movie. It's a classic. I enjoy it a lot.

SPEAKER_06 22:09

SPEAKER_02 22:09

Is that all?

SPEAKER_06 22:10

Yeah, I think so.

SPEAKER_02 22:12

SPEAKER_06 22:19

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 22:20

Yeah. Um what?

SPEAKER_06 22:23

Get the Gringo.

SPEAKER_02 22:24

Get the Gringo. And this is a movie with Mel Gibson. And he is a prisoner. Right. Yeah. Uh shocker. He keeps doing this, right?

SPEAKER_06 22:37

Last week he was stalone.

SPEAKER_02 22:39

Oh, right. We've got lots of people going to prison.

SPEAKER_06 22:42

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 22:42

Uh Mel Gibson happens to be one of them, but it was a pretty chill prison.

SPEAKER_05 22:47

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 22:48

Uh he was in Mexico.

SPEAKER_05 22:50

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 22:51

And he became friends with a little boy who uh was really important within the prison. Yeah, it's his mom was the prisoner. He just happened to be there, I guess.

SPEAKER_06 23:03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 23:06

Yeah. It definitely didn't seem like a prison.

SPEAKER_06 23:09

No.

SPEAKER_02 23:10

So there's some bad guys. They want to take the little boy's liver, and Mel Gibson beats up the bad guys. Yeah. Also, he pretends to be Clint Eastwood and he throws grenades at bad guys, and those were the best parts. Yeah. Which were also the funny parts of the movie.

SPEAKER_06 23:31

Him impersonating Clint Eastwood was so funny.

SPEAKER_02 23:36

Yeah. It was very funny.

SPEAKER_06 23:38

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 23:39

What did you think about the movie?

SPEAKER_06 23:40

It was a while since I last saw this one. I think it's okay. It's pretty good. It wasn't what I remembered it. I don't know. I remembered it slightly different. Right now I can't really say why. I did like it though. I also like that um Hamilton, the Swedish Hamilton.

Trivia, Casting, And Comparisons

SPEAKER_06 25:59

But maybe that was the That was on purpose. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 26:02

Hmm. Have to research.

SPEAKER_06 26:05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 26:07

Maybe. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 26:09

Maybe the makers of this movie didn't know that he was in another prison movie.

SPEAKER_02 26:13

Maybe. Maybe he kept it a secret.

SPEAKER_06 26:15

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 26:16

Alright, is that all?

Mid-Episode Break

SPEAKER_02 27:29

SPEAKER_06 27:32

Yeah. I I mean I I haven't done the Thanksgiving thing before meeting you.

SPEAKER_02 27:39

Right.

SPEAKER_06 27:40

So I'm fairly new to this.

SPEAKER_02 27:42

This is your third Thanksgiving.

SPEAKER_06 27:44

SPEAKER_02 27:45

With me. Right.

SPEAKER_06 27:47

SPEAKER_06 27:50

It's like I'm three.

SPEAKER_02 27:52

Yeah. This is Thanksgiving for a three-year-old.

SPEAKER_06 27:56

Yeah.

Thanksgiving 101 For A Swede

SPEAKER_02 27:57

Uh so what I'm gonna do today is I'm gonna teach you about Thanksgiving.

SPEAKER_06 28:03

Good.

SPEAKER_02 28:04

Okay?

SPEAKER_06 28:05

It's good to train the three-year-olds.

SPEAKER_02 28:08

I'm yes. Um, I've already told you the story behind Thanksgiving.

SPEAKER_06 28:15

Yeah, the history.

SPEAKER_02 28:16

The history. Uh a couple times in uh a few different ways.

SPEAKER_06 28:21

Yeah, both both the first one and the second one.

SPEAKER_02 28:24

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 28:25

And something like that.

SPEAKER_02 28:27

I've told the story three times though, right?

SPEAKER_06 28:30

Uh I think so, but I don't remember how it was last time.

SPEAKER_02 28:34

No. The first time. Yeah, the second time, kinda the last no, I don't remember at all what we said. I'm gonna have to re-listen to last year's anniversary episode. Which we'll be doing next week for a sneak peek, I guess. Yeah. Um, a subtle hint of the plans. Anyway, Matthias, please tell me what do you what is Thanksgiving? If you were to explain to me what Thanksgiving is, do that now, please.

SPEAKER_06 29:06

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 29:07

I don't know words.

SPEAKER_06 29:10

This is m me trying to explain movies. I don't know. I'm the movie nerd and I can't explain movies. But uh okay, explain Thanksgiving. You're the Thanksgiving nerd.

SPEAKER_02 29:22

Yeah, but if you were to guess.

SPEAKER_06 29:24

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 29:25

So from So in a way it's kind of switched. So uh you are me uh explaining a movie. Okay.

SPEAKER_06 29:34

Okay. So Thanksgiving. That's uh to me it feels almost like um an early Christmas.

SPEAKER_01 29:43

Okay. In which ways?

SPEAKER_06 29:45

Inviting friends and family and uh uh eating dinner and uh being happy and that's a requirement is being happy.

SPEAKER_02 29:57

There's no drama ever during the The holidays.

SPEAKER_06 30:01

Eating a bird. Well, yeah, we don't really do that for Christmas.

SPEAKER_02 30:06

But eat pigs.

SPEAKER_06 30:08

Yeah. Eat an animal.

SPEAKER_03 30:11

An animal. Pig an animal. And eat it.

SPEAKER_06 30:15

Watch movies. Yeah, that's uh and then uh do some um what is it called? The board games or yeah. Yeah, that's what we usually do.

SPEAKER_02 30:31

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 30:32

From my past experiences.

SPEAKER_02 30:34

Yeah. Okay, so as we usually do, uh we ask OpenEyes its opinion here.

SPEAKER_05 30:42

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 30:43

So I told OpenAI to teach Matthias about Thanksgiving. And it said, uh, here's a friendly, kid-appropriate explanation you can share with Matias.

SPEAKER_06 30:54

Perfect for a three-year-old.

SPEAKER_02 30:56

Yeah, assuming Matthias is a child. So what is Thanksgiving? It is a holiday celebrated mainly in the United States and Canada. It's a special day for giving thanks for the good things in our lives, like family, friends, food, and fun.

SPEAKER_05 31:11

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 31:12

So uh like I already touched on, I've told you the history. Uh we all know that's the real story.

SPEAKER_00 31:20

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 31:20

But this is what open eyes is telling me. Oh. The history of Thanksgiving. Yeah. So it says a long time ago, in 1621, a group of English settlers called the Pilgrims had a big feast with the Wampanoag uh Native Americans. Not the Amindians, but Native Americans.

SPEAKER_06 31:48

Okay. Yeah, see, they already got it wrong.

SPEAKER_02 31:53

The Wampanoag uh helped the pilgrims learn how to grow food in their new home. After the harvest, they all shared a meal together to celebrate. This idea of sharing and being thankful eventually became Thanksgiving. We all know how that ended, though.

SPEAKER_01 32:13

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 32:13

And the rock uh apparently came way before this. Oh. The rock that the pilgrims crashed into. Um, okay. So how do people celebrate today? Uh traditionally, most families eat a big meal together. Like turkey, potatoes, corn, pumpkin pie, and cranberries. And we have them. We have the turkey, we have mashed potatoes, we also have sweet potatoes. Yeah. Mashed sweet potatoes. Uh corn comes in the form of muffins, which is the preferred form of corn. Pumpkin pie and cranberries. And the cranberries we haven't had before because for some reason I'm terrified of them. But this year, or last year, it was suggested that we have cranberry jello shots. So that's something we're gonna try this year.

SPEAKER_04 33:09

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 33:10

And uh who suggested it? Someone.

SPEAKER_04 33:13

Okay. Yeah, that person.

SPEAKER_02 33:15

Yeah. Um, I can't tell you.

SPEAKER_04 33:17

No.

SPEAKER_02 33:18

I remember it being brought up, but I can't tell you what the scenario was and who was involved in this conversation.

SPEAKER_05 33:26

Was it a dream?

Traditions: Food, Parades, Films, And Sports

SPEAKER_02 33:28

I might have had a dream of cranberry jello shots. Alright, what else do people do? They spend time with family and friends, watch parades, play games, or enjoy sports. And talk about.

SPEAKER_06 33:42

Never try that.

SPEAKER_02 33:43

No. And they talk about what they're thankful for.

SPEAKER_05 33:46

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 33:47

So the big message is basically Thanksgiving is really about gratitude, noticing good things and appreciating them. It's also a time to be kind, help others, and enjoy being together. Okay, so any questions about that?

SPEAKER_06 34:03

No. I I think I pretty much nailed it.

SPEAKER_02 34:07

I feel like we cover most of that for Thanksgiving.

SPEAKER_06 34:11

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 34:11

Maybe we should start playing football.

SPEAKER_06 34:14

Yeah. Maybe.

SPEAKER_02 34:16

There should probably be a point during the day when I send everyone out to play football.

SPEAKER_06 34:21

Yeah. Or wrestling.

SPEAKER_02 34:22

No. We don't have to wrestle. No.

SPEAKER_06 34:26

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 34:26

Uh so the traditions. I already touched on this, but I'm gonna go through it again in case I need to go into details on these things. So we've got the dinner, which is the main event.

SPEAKER_05 34:40

Yes.

SPEAKER_02 34:41

Uh the family gathering. Um, people often help cook together or set the table in a festive way. And then after eating, many enjoyed board games, puzzles, or relaxing together.

SPEAKER_06 34:56

Do we have game for this year?

SPEAKER_02 34:58

I believe so. What it was, I don't remember.

SPEAKER_06 35:01

No.

SPEAKER_02 35:01

Parades and entertainment with the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade. Uh, it's a big tradition. Usually we have our Thanksgiving after the actual Thanksgiving, the Saturday after. But this year we're having it the Saturday before. So there will be no parade to watch.

SPEAKER_06 35:21

Unless we watch other years.

SPEAKER_02 35:24

Yeah, of course. And I love watching like the firsts. Like I've said before in other episodes, I like the firsts of like the movies and stuff. It's the same thing with the parades.

SPEAKER_05 35:37

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 35:37

Like anything firsts, especially if it's like really, really old.

SPEAKER_05 35:41

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 35:42

I'm into it.

SPEAKER_05 35:43

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 35:43

Except for the first like audio recording. Creepy. Don't like it. Don't care for it.

SPEAKER_06 35:50

Okay. So you listen to that?

SPEAKER_02 35:53

I think I have heard like a really old audio recording. I don't know if it's the first first, but it's up there. And it was creepy. I didn't care for it. But yeah, the Thanksgiving parades, they started what, 50s, 60s maybe?

SPEAKER_06 36:14

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 36:15

I don't know. But they were black and white. When did color start?

SPEAKER_06 36:19

I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 36:20

Anyway, yeah, we can watch past parades.

SPEAKER_05 36:23

We can do that.

SPEAKER_02 36:24

Uh some families watch Thanksgiving movies or special TV episodes.

SPEAKER_05 36:29

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 36:30

And we watch Planes, Trains, and Automobiles. Yeah. All the turkeys in the oven.

SPEAKER_06 36:35

Yeah, and we also at least once watched Free Birds.

SPEAKER_02 36:40

Right. We did that. And then we lost it.

SPEAKER_06 36:44

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 36:45

Where'd it go?

SPEAKER_05 36:46

I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 36:47

Not good. Uh sports traditions. Watching American football games, especially the teams that play every year on Thanksgiving Day. Uh, some communities hold turkey trot morning races or fun runs.

SPEAKER_05 37:02

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 37:03

So they start their day by going on a marathon. All right. Well, it sounds like fun. It's not the worst idea if you're gonna go eat a ton later. Another thing people do, they give back. So many people volunteer at food banks or community kitchens, and some people donate food to families in need, which is a common way to give thanks.

SPEAKER_06 37:26

That's nice of them.

SPEAKER_02 37:28

I do recall donating like canned foods for Thanksgiving before. But that was in the States. Okay. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 37:36

Yeah, we don't have uh much of that here since we don't really celebrate Thanksgiving in Sweden.

SPEAKER_02 37:44

But Sweden is slowly trying.

SPEAKER_06 37:48

Yeah, we're I mean we don't know why. We Americanize everything.

SPEAKER_02 37:53

Oh yeah. So I mean Halloween has been growing, you know, inch by inch every year. And I believe last year was the first time I heard of people like actually doing Thanksgiving at home. Uh even though they have they're zero percent s American. Yeah. Which I mean, sure, whatever. Do whatever you want.

SPEAKER_06 38:18

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 38:19

It's just a little I don't know, it's a little weird.

SPEAKER_06 38:22

Yeah, it is.

What Not To Do At Thanksgiving

SPEAKER_02 38:23

And I mean I mean, I do it because I'm American and I invite my American friends and friends who are who could probably pass as American.

SPEAKER_06 38:34

And me.

SPEAKER_02 38:35

Uh yeah, well, yeah.

SPEAKER_06 38:38

Yeah. Can I pass as an American?

SPEAKER_02 38:40

Yeah. Really? Mm-hmm. You'll do well in the States.

SPEAKER_06 38:43

Okay. I think so.

SPEAKER_02 38:45

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 38:45

I'm not loud.

SPEAKER_02 38:46

Not all of them are.

SPEAKER_06 38:48

I can be.

SPEAKER_02 38:49

You yeah. I'm sure you can be.

SPEAKER_06 38:51

Yeah. But um I mean, if someone says anything bad about Jackie Chan.

SPEAKER_02 38:56

You're screaming.

SPEAKER_06 38:57

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 38:59

You also scream in the shower.

SPEAKER_06 39:01

Yeah, I do.

SPEAKER_02 39:02

So you practice.

unknown 39:04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 39:04

Let's see. Uh what else? Seasonal traditions. So we can decorate the homes with fall colors. Fall colors. My words are falling. Uh, like orange, red, brown, pumpkins, and leaves. Yeah. Uh also going on autumn walks or playing outside before winter arrives. Except it's been extremely frosty today.

SPEAKER_05 39:31

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 39:32

So I'm worried it's not gonna be very fall by the time we celebrate Thanksgiving.

SPEAKER_06 39:38

No.

SPEAKER_02 39:39

Um, fall is gonna be frozen.

SPEAKER_06 39:41

Yeah. I mean, it's still fall, it's just frozen. Fall has fallen.

SPEAKER_02 39:45

Fall has fallen and now it's frost.

unknown 39:48

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 39:49

It slipped and fell. Whoops. Fall slipped and fell.

SPEAKER_02 39:54

Okay, Matthias, here's the good part. Okay. So here is what not to do at Thanksgiving.

SPEAKER_06 40:01

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 40:02

Okay. The worst behavior possible.

SPEAKER_06 40:06

Saying you're welcome is Yeah, you're welcome.

SPEAKER_02 40:10

I'm thankful for the food. Uh, you're welcome.

SPEAKER_06 40:14

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 40:14

Okay, out of ten, I got a top ten of worst behaviors for Thanksgiving.

SPEAKER_00 40:19

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 40:20

Number one, which made me laugh immediately. Like I didn't even have to go through the list. This first one made me laugh. Show up empty-handed, which, okay, I'm gonna bring up that point. It's not a requirement to bring anything. I'm providing this meal. Okay. If you bring something, cool. I'm not upset. Do that.

SPEAKER_00 40:42

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 40:43

It's not a requirement.

SPEAKER_00 40:44

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 40:45

Okay. So, uh, anyway, the first one was show up empty-handed and complain about the food. Saying this is the driest turkey ever is a fast track to getting uninvited next year.

SPEAKER_05 41:02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 41:04

Please don't complain about the food. I've spent six hours working on it. If it's so dry, drain drown drain it.

SPEAKER_06 41:12

Drown. Just go drown.

SPEAKER_02 41:15

Drown it in gravy and you'll be okay.

SPEAKER_06 41:17

Yeah, okay.

SPEAKER_02 41:18

The gravy's really good too. So if you don't like the turkey, have something else.

SPEAKER_06 41:23

Yeah, that's true.

SPEAKER_02 41:24

I have always had a hard time with the turkeys for Thanksgiving because I've always thought it was really dry. I've had really bad experiences as a young child eating really dry turkey, and my dad telling me to eat it anyway, and so I just had to choke it down, and it was just like, yeah, I can't stand this.

SPEAKER_06 41:47

It feels like uh turkey is a dry bird.

SPEAKER_02 41:50

It's a dry bird.

SPEAKER_06 41:51

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 41:52

Dry bird turkey.

SPEAKER_06 41:54

Dry bird turkey.

SPEAKER_02 41:55

Dry bird turkey.

SPEAKER_06 41:56

Dry bird turkey.

SPEAKER_03 41:58

Dry bird turkey. I'm trying to make something out of this. Keep going. Something's gonna come up. Yeah. Driver turkey.

SPEAKER_06 42:07

Driver turkey.

SPEAKER_03 42:08

Driver turkey. Like there's nothing actually funny about it. Okay. Okay. Is that what the sound vo sound voice just gonna be? Driver turkey, driver, turkey, driver, turkey, driver, turkey. Yeah. What just showed up on my screen. Okay. That was just number one. Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_06 42:40

Out of ten.

SPEAKER_03 42:42

Ten. Okay, number two. If I get through this list, I'm gonna be happy. Okay. Touch all the food with your hands just to see what it feels like.

SPEAKER_06 43:00

Shove it in the turkey too.

SPEAKER_03 43:04

Shove your hand inside the turkey. Thanksgiving is not a sensory play table. If I see someone stick their hand into every single uh food, I'm gonna be really upset. Okay.

SPEAKER_06 43:25

I can do that.

SPEAKER_02 43:26

I know you can, but don't.

SPEAKER_06 43:28

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 43:29

Um number three, start an argument the moment dinner is served Matias.

SPEAKER_03 43:36

Beginning with, let me tell you why everyone here is wrong. Is a Thanksgiving a nightmare?

SPEAKER_06 43:44

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 43:44

Please don't do that.

SPEAKER_06 43:46

Have I done that?

SPEAKER_03 43:47

Uh no, but it feels like maybe you could.

SPEAKER_06 43:50

Maybe I could.

SPEAKER_03 43:51

Maybe you could.

SPEAKER_06 43:52

Yeah, if everyone's wrong. Yeah, sure.

SPEAKER_02 43:55

Well, okay.

SPEAKER_06 43:56

But I mean, if I right if I'm right about something and everyone else disagrees, yeah, sure.

SPEAKER_02 44:03

Okay. Alright. Not going well.

unknown 44:06

No.

SPEAKER_02 44:07

Uh number four. This one I wouldn't have a huge problem with because I expect to do everything anyway. But number four is fall asleep on the couch before helping with the dishes. Which I mean, people have done that before. And I get it. I mean, some years we've had dinner a bit later, you eat a lot of food, and you've been drinking, you're tired, you crash on the couch.

SPEAKER_05 44:33

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 44:34

Whatever, no big deal. For me at least. But this says bonus bad points if you snore loudly or take up the entire couch. Okay, if you are a very tall and drunk, tired, full person, and you take up the entire couch, that's gonna be a problem because other people want to sit on the couch.

SPEAKER_06 44:54

Also, That sure sounds like me.

SPEAKER_02 44:56

My couch is pretty long. It is. So if you are so freakishly long that you take up the entirety of my couch, I'm not even sure why you're there. How do you get through the door? And uh I don't even know you. What are you doing here?

SPEAKER_06 45:14

You know, this list is for people with short couches.

SPEAKER_02 45:19

Okay. Okay, I don't have a short couch. Not anymore. I used to have a short couch.

SPEAKER_06 45:23

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 45:24

And also a big couch. And now I only have an even bigger couch.

SPEAKER_05 45:29

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 45:30

It's like both of those couches combined, pretty much. Which is nice.

SPEAKER_05 45:34

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 45:35

Number five. Give an unsolicited 20-minute speech before anyone can eat. Please do not hold anyone back from eating. No one's gonna be happy.

SPEAKER_06 45:49

Hey, everyone, shut up. I've gotta talk now.

SPEAKER_03 45:52

And no one can take anything yet.

SPEAKER_06 45:55

I haven't had my hands in it in everything yet.

SPEAKER_03 45:59

I'm gonna give a review based on the texture of each food here.

SPEAKER_06 46:06

Too dry.

SPEAKER_03 46:09

It's hot. Ow. Ow. I don't even like this one. Why is it here?

SPEAKER_06 46:20

And it's too dry.

SPEAKER_03 46:22

It's disgusting and it's on my hand now.

SPEAKER_06 46:26

It dries my hand out.

SPEAKER_03 46:30

My hands are not attractive.

SPEAKER_06 46:32

No. It's because of this food.

SPEAKER_03 46:35

This food makes my hands unattractive.

SPEAKER_06 46:37

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 46:38

This is a problem.

SPEAKER_02 46:40

Okay. Number six. Take all the best pieces of food before anyone else gets a chance. So if you grab the whole turkey leg for later, that is villain level behavior.

SPEAKER_06 46:54

Wow.

SPEAKER_02 46:54

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 46:55

Villain.

SPEAKER_02 46:55

Yeah. Because everyone wants a leg. Okay. Because the breast is so dry. The legs are always the best part.

SPEAKER_06 47:01

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 47:02

Also, I'm gonna add on to that one is if you take a really big portion of one thing, especially for your first taking, your first serving, yeah, that might be a problem. Because especially if there's more people there, you want everything to last for everyone.

SPEAKER_00 47:23

Yeah.

Feelings & What’s Ruining Our Lives

SPEAKER_02 47:24

So if you are taking your first servings, take, you know, a one scoop. There's plenty of food. It's all gonna fill your plate. Just take the one scoop, and then if you want more and everyone's already taken some, then go ahead and take more. That's my point of view.

SPEAKER_00 47:41

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 47:42

But that's just because I want everything to last for everyone. I want enough for everyone. Which is something I stress over a bit.

SPEAKER_00 47:49

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 47:50

I always think this isn't enough. This isn't enough. And sometimes it's not enough. Uh okay. So number seven is overshare awkward personal details at the table. So if grandma doesn't need to know it, maybe keep it to yourself. So don't be telling everyone about like your sad, depressing sex life. I guess.

SPEAKER_04 48:14

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 48:14

Don't do that.

SPEAKER_04 48:15

Stop that then.

SPEAKER_02 48:16

Yeah, I mean, I was trying to be subtle about it, but if you could like not no one wants to know. Um number eight. Do not feed the dog under the table, and then act surprised when it jumps onto the table so that everyone's plate is now in danger.

SPEAKER_04 48:37

Yeah. First of all, I don't have a dog. You don't have a dog.

SPEAKER_02 48:41

I do have a bunny, but he does not dare go into the kitchen.

SPEAKER_04 48:45

No.

SPEAKER_02 48:46

And he probably wouldn't want to eat the majority of our food anyway.

SPEAKER_00 48:51

No.

SPEAKER_02 48:52

Maybe the stuffing veggies. But that's it. Nothing I don't think he'd really go for anything else. No. Uh so that's not a problem that we have, but I'm sure others do.

SPEAKER_00 49:02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 49:03

Uh don't feed the dog. Number nine. Spill your drink and pretend it wasn't you. Especially if you blame a child or the cat. Uh, don't have a cat, but I do have children.

SPEAKER_06 49:14

And a bunny.

SPEAKER_02 49:15

I do have a bunny. But you can only blame the bunny if you are sitting on the couch. Because, I mean, if he knows you, he might attack you. Not in a bad way. He'll just jump on you.

SPEAKER_05 49:29

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 49:30

Be like, hello. And then, you know, you might get startled and spill your drink. Don't do that. But yeah. Uh, how about we don't spill the drinks in general? Okay. Whether you admit it or not.

SPEAKER_06 49:42

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 49:43

Accidents happen, but don't do it on purpose.

SPEAKER_06 49:46

Sounds like a good rule.

SPEAKER_02 49:47

If you don't like the wine, don't just dump it on the floor. Okay? Please. We don't really have wine anyway. No. We have eggnog. Everyone loves it, so it better not be on the floor.

SPEAKER_06 49:58

Exactly.

SPEAKER_02 49:59

Or else I'm gonna be mad. We're gonna have drama if there's eggnog on the floor.

SPEAKER_03 50:03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 50:04

Okay, Matias, here's one for you. Actually, you know what? Uh, number 10, the last one, and I'm not even subtle about it. I'm gonna say it directly. Do not stay glued to your phone the entire time. Okay, so taking selfies with a turkey is fine, but ignoring the humans is not.

Wrap-Up, Fan Mail, And Next Events

Alright, well, as we near the end of the episode, would you like to tell me what is currently ruining your life?

SPEAKER_06 51:44

I guess it's uh that I don't see you that much anymore. It's uh now it feels like it's just once or twice a week.

SPEAKER_02 51:56

Yeah.

So that's that's too bad.

SPEAKER_02 52:05

Yeah, it's it's a little sad. I'm gonna have to steal that one because I've been feeling it a lot this week. Uh I'm lacking Matias throughout my week. We went from seeing each other every single day at work to, you know, uh a few times a week.

SPEAKER_06 52:23

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 52:24

Almost every day. Yeah. And then now it's like once or twice a week. Yeah. Yeah. So yeah. I've been missing you.

SPEAKER_06 52:32

Yeah, during the summer we had our walks.

SPEAKER_02 52:35

Yeah. And now it's dark. Yeah. And it's getting chilly. We don't really want to go for walks. And the last time we went on a really dark walk, it didn't go so well because it was windy and it was awful. And I couldn't see anything. So it was kind of scary. Um, are you done with your sips?

SPEAKER_06 52:59
