Hi, this is Dewey Jenkins. When the Navy sent me to Jacksonville, Florida, I sold Salad Master cookwear door to door during my free time. One evening, I knocked on the door and met the woman I wouldn't marry. She didn't buy any cookwear, but I got her phone number. That's how we train at Morris Jenkins. Don't try to make a sale, Try to make a friend. Everyone needs a friend who knows how to fix air conditioning and plumbing.
I love this podcast, don't you. It's time for the Happy Half Hour with your friends Kristen Belboni and Will Brian presented by Morris Jenkins. That's right, it's that time of the week, the Happy Half Hour podcast presented by Morris Jenkins. Mr Jenkins told me that he loves football and he looks forward to this show all week. When you're plumbing or air conditioning, is acting up called Morris Jenkins or is it Morris Jenkins dot com? Kristen here
with Will and Matt and guys. What a game on Sunday? It's victory week. It's victory week. It's Thanksgiving week, a lot to celebrate. People say that you only get a victory Monday. But I'm taking the whole week. It's like the birthday week, you know, when you get like the one day. Are you someone that does birthday weeks? No, but I mean I want to. I'm someone that doesn't. But someone planned a week long vacation or tried tokelong trip for your birthday. I worked through it the entire time.
But that's still but the but the yeah, it's there. The effort is there for you to say, hey, it's my birthday week, like I yeah, I want someone else to declare it my birthday. Yeah. I'm saying you have that mindset whether or not. You know, we work all the time, so you may not have been able to execute on it, but you have the birthday week mindset, right, And I'm taking a Detroit week mindset. It's fair me too.
I'm going with it. I mean, look, when the team does the things that they did in that game, they shut out an opponent for the first time in five years um as a franchise, I think we gotta take a week to celebrate. It was just the second shutout in the NFL this year. And I mean, can we just like re replay last week's podcast, like I mean, oh my goodness, Like, where were we a week ago talking about this defense. That's what I said in that UM in last week's podcast, was that second half I
felt like was an outlier. Now they're not going to go and and shut out every opposing offense going forward. But I was glad to see it all come together, especially for this defense, because you know, the second half of the Tampa Bay game, notwithstanding they have been so close in terms of you know, it feels like just one little play here, one little play there, or a penalty that has big implications here or there, UM, And I was glad to see them getting those third down stops.
They played great in the third quarter, UM, the great game overall. And I think listening to kind of the array of postgame press conference is it felt like there was a combination of both play calling and kind of game planning and like this sort of just crazy passion. You know, these guys were just so fired up, they were so locked in. But combine that with there's some really good play calls from Phil Snow, Like there was some really good execution, um, really good looks that Detroit
was not expecting, and they were doing it without Dante Jackson. No, tell your white head at at middle linebacker. You know, Jermaine Carter getting his his first start this year at middle linebacker. Um or second start, I guess. But you know, you have you have what Brian Burns did off the edge, you have what f a Obada is doing moving to the middle of the line. You know, all of like
eleven quarterback hits five sacks. And you know, sure like Kenny Dolladay wasn't out there, Um, Danny Amandola wasn't out there. DeAndre squere pone out there. And I think those things were all fair to say. But then and and it's fair to to talk about that in relation to the defense. But you know, on on our offensive side, no Teddy Bridgewater to McAffrey, No Russell o'coon as you mentioned, Uh, No Dante Jackson, Sam Franklin, who had had started to
come on as safety not there. So you know, we can always go through the the injuries, and I think it is important to mention who the lines were missing. But I think it came from, like you said, a combination of play calling, um an execution. Yeah, I mean, and you know, can we not? I mean P J Walker, My goodness, you know, I mean, he comes in, I mean, he was put in a very difficult situation and for the you know what eight nine snaps we had seen in kind of these different moments when Teddy had to
leave in earlier games. I don't think people were expecting the game that he played. I completely agree, And it's the first time that I have genuinely said, uh, something like the statement that I'm about to say, which is, aside from those two interceptions in the end zone, I thought he played a very good game. And I think it's it's hard when you are assessing anyone, and anyone who has two interceptions in the end zone, it's really hard to genuinely say after that, well, aside from those
two huge issues, it was a good game. But I really thought despite those two things, um, which he said, you know, he said, oh, they're gonna keep me up at night for the rest of the week, um, And that's you know, that will come with experience. But I just was very impressed overall with his poise, the way he played, um, some of the throws he made, the athleticism. Thought he did a good job, I mean, and the fact that they were down in the red zone that
many times. I mean the fact that they kept moving the ball. They had that many opportunities that he had some he had some throws that he just completely missed, which were kind of some head scratchers, but you think you take those away, he still had a good stat line. And we can say all of that because the defense gave him those opportunities and they kept them in the game, and they never really gave the lines a chance. So it was great. It was overall, it was great, and
I totally support this being a full victory week. So any stories from you, any any beers fly down the the those tarps onto you this week? No beers, um coming down from excited fans. As we've said before, it was one of our first home games where they allowed fans. And I'm in the first row and then there's the tarps for the next ten rows or whatever, and sometimes people set things on there and they collide with me accidentally, I hope, UM, But no, none of that. But it
was just cool, Um. It was there was so much going on on the sidelines, and you could see how excited all of the players were and how much communication there was between um everybody. Even before it was very clear um that they were going to end up shutting out the Lions. So I was just like laser vote.
Something could have hit me, a beer could have flown out my head and I wouldn't have noticed because there was so much going on on the sidelines, so much energy, um that I was just totally locked in on all of that. Speaking to that, I don't know if people could see it watching the game on TV, and maybe they could, but the final maybe four or five minutes of the fourth order, when you know, at this point, you know they're doing the announcements for you know, please
leave the stadium safely, you know all this. You know who does those announcements, by the way, who really? Yeah, I mean that may be the p A announcer stadium if you enter an exit and you need to know what's allowed in the Never been out there for that stuff. I haven't either, but I have you know, friends and family who have come to games and they're like, is that your voice? Ingress and egress, No big deal, all right?
So you're saying, yeah, so you know they they're wrapping that, they're wrapping that stuff up, and you know, the winds pretty much in hand. But the only thing that's really out there is like, are they going to give up a field goal? You know, Detroit's kind of moving down. And when they got that stop on fourth down, shack knocking to wait, everyone is erupting on the sideline. But the coolest thing was when the offense gets back on it's like, man, they're gonna probably have to put it back,
like they're going to give them the ball back. And they drew them offsides on fourth and five and a half and everyone thinks, oh, it's a first down, and the sideline erupt Everyone is off the bench the entire and then it's like, no, it's actually fourth and a half, fourth in a little bit. And then and then they do it again and they erupted even I mean they I have never seen a sideline jump onto the field when up twenty nothing and drawing another team off sides
to get into victory formation. Like the way that that those guys did. It was incredible. It was and it was just the culmination of the things that have been preached by the coaches and by the veterans and that the rookies are trying to to learn and get a hold of, which is discipline, um and and being on the right side of those penalties, you know, drawing them off sides and and playing a clean game. And it
was just great to see. I thought that was the manifestation of that Oh yeah, I mean just that that togetherness that you know, everyone, everyone was involved, everyone was into it, and you know that the offense wanted it to you know, they wanted to stay on the field, they didn't want to give the ball back. Um. I just thought it was really cool. It was just a great win. Um, after the last few weeks that this this team has has been through and they continue to
to try and to play their best. You know, I think in every single game the effort has been there. They're just learning, you know, and um, there's a lot of young guys who have been asked stuff up and they're dealing with injuries. But then you have a Shacks postgame speech after the Tampa Bay game, and it was just great to see it all come together in this win and great to see their hard work payoff and
in such a big way. So real briefly before we move on, because there's a potential which we can talk about in a second of Teddy Bridgewater returning this week to go play at Minnesota, which was the team that drafted him back in But before we turn that page, one final thing on p J. Walker, the story about his mom in the dream that she had. What's your takeaway from just hearing that initially? That was incredible. I
I just thought it was it was awesome. I would love to know if his mom has any lottery numbers for me, Um, you know, would love to get up with her on that. No. I I just thought it was great, and I think it just shows a belief and he's had an unconventional path to get here. I spoke to him um in the off season, and you know, his journey with with the XFL and then having such a great season and then getting stopped, and UM, I'm just I'm just so happy for him and his mom,
And I just thought it was an incredible story. Yeah, I mean, like the background, she had this dream when he was on the practice squad for the Colts and Matt Rule was in Baylor and she just had a dream that he was gonna start for the Carolina Panthers and win a game. I mean, there was no connection
to the Panthers at that point. None. That's why I said, I'm looking for some lottery numbers, right, you know, like where it just came out of the blue and it was like, you know, all the things that had to fall into place for him to then be here and for then him to be starting and winning a game. I mean, it's incredible, it really is. Uh it's just a great when you know, a win counts the same um in the standings, just like a loss counts the same.
But I think the reason that we're making this a victory week like you would make it a birthday week, is that there are just so many great things that have happened, and it's a product of hard work and this team believing and themselves. And I'm just so happy for everyone on that team to have not just a win, but you know, as Matt Rule called it a process win where everyone did things the right way. You had guys like p J Walker stepping up, UM, Troy Pride
for Dante Jackson. I mean, the list goes on. It's not just about p J. Walker. I think that's a microcosm of of these young guys who have had to step up all year um, and everyone executed, and it was it was a very very good win. And as you said, just the second time this season, uh that an NFL team has been shut out. So I think it's it's worth celebrating because they really have worked hard, paid attention to the details, and it's it's nice to see a payoff. So will what do you want to
see going forward? I mean, they're not we said they're not going to shut out opposing offenses for the rest of the season. So how can they build on the little things? And what do you expect them to take away from this game that you'd like to see in Minnesota? I think they're going to have to that run defense, not obviously, and Adrian Peterson that's kind of at the end of his career versus Dalvin Cook, who's at the height of his You know, from a week to week,
you know, that was a huge difference. This is such a big difference in third and six versus third and two. And there were there were more third and sixes and third and sevens last week because they were able to stop the run on first and second down. And as you said, no DeAndre Swift and in that game, which is a big right and you know, Dalvin Cooke right now is is right behind Derrick Henry for the rushing title.
He has the most scrimmage yards in the NFL. Like he's putting up numbers like what we saw Christian do last year that we're just you know, scrimmage yard record breaking type of numbers, averaging over a hundred yards of rushing yards a game. So how do you go in and focus on stopping him um and give yourself manageable third downs? Because he's he's a guy that is kind of this new type of running back that's both power, but you get him out in open space and he
makes people miss. He can run between the tackles, he can run you over, but he can also make you miss outside. He can catch the ball out of the backfield, and he has breakaway speed. Like the number of times that he can just get through the line at the twenty yard line and eight yards later, you're not going to catch him. You know that. It's it's a rare type of flacks from a couple of weeks, you know.
But I mean, like I'll try to all flash back to Christian, you know, like Christian was able to develop that in last year and he had all those plays where people were trying to run him down and he was able to outrun people in the open field. That's what Dalvin Cook can do. So they've got to they've got to have that gap integrity. They've got to be able to kind of, you know, run to the ball. And it's not so much making tackles and open space.
It's holding on or it's getting the cavalry there. You know, get something on him, slow him down, you know, get your angles right, you know, force him to the sideline, whatever it might be. You know, you don't have to make a huge hit and knock them down just by yourself. Just don't let him get by you. And that's gonna be a huge key to being successful in Minnesota. You sound like Matt Rule in the conversations I've had with him, but it's right, and I think he emphasizes that a lot.
And I think this Dalvin Cook matchup is such a great example, which is just you know, we hear it a lot, but like, do your job. And but what he says is that sometimes these guys they want so badly to make that big play, to make that big stop, and then a mistake ends up happening. So if everyone, like you said, you don't try to do too much, just do your job, play your gap, um tackle and and trust your teammates and hopefully it'll I don't know
if Matt Rule has said this to the team. I think about it when I look at you know, we have these highlights that we've cut from last week in terms of like defensive highlights, and almost all of the sacks were like combined sex. You know, it wasn't and it kind of stinks for like Brian Burns is you know, individual statistics and all that stuff. Quick NFC defensive players
doing okay. He's doing okay. But you know the fact that all of these guys we're getting to the ball, they were they were rallying to the quarterback, they were holding it. You know, they weren't trying to be selfish about it. They weren't trying to just make a play. They knew if they do a certain thing that someone else is coming right behind them and they're getting him down. And that's more important than some dramatic huge hit on
the quarterback or hit on a running back. Absolutely, This is the Happy Half Hour podcast presented by Morris Jenkins, and Mr Jenkins told me his plumbers and a c text secretly where Panthers jerseys under their uniforms. Will does the same thing. I'm looking at it right now. When you're plumbing or air conditioning is acting up, called Morris Jenkins or visit Morris Jenkins dot com. Will what is your stat of the week? The times in the week, the stat of the week is a big if we're
recording this on Wednesday. But if fingers crossed Teddy Bridgewater is able to go this weekend, he will be playing, as I said, against his former team, the Minnesota Vikings. He would become the sixth Panthers quarterback to face their former team in a start. I know one off the top of my head. Our good buddy, Jake Delone. Jake Delone. And Jake was eight and three against New Orleans over his Panthers career. He did pretty well. The rest of
this group not so much. Steve Burline oh and two against Jacksonville, oh and two against Dallas, oh and one against the Raiders. He pretty much played for every team in the NFL. Rodney Pete was one to o against the Lions and now and want to Getst. Dallas, Frank Reich oh and one a Gainst Buffalo, and the great Brian st Pierre. He had one start, the infamous Brian St. Pierre game, and it was against the Ravens, who was his former team. It didn't go very well. Well, we've
seen Teddy play against the Saints. He had a good game, even though it ultimately, you know, it came down to that long Joyce life field goal, um and the Panthers lost it. But you know, again, something I talked with Coach Rule about during that Saint s week, you know, how much how much do you like guys being motivated for for those kinds of things going up against our
former team, And he said he doesn't like it. He wants, you know, does everyone do your job as we've been saying, um, and and focus in and prepare the same way you would prepare for anything else. And I think Teddy's like that, very methodical. But you got to think there's something back there UM that says like, man, I'd love to come in there, start, feel great, and have a wonderful game.
I don't think he's gonna prepare any differently, but um, it'd be awesome to see and it's fun for us, Like it's you know, it's fun for us to to watch it. You know this is actually the first time the Panthers have ever played in this stadium. The last time they played at Minnesota it was still being built, so they played outside in the Minnesota Gophers and that that was the game against Teddy. Teddy started UM against
the Panthers. Pretty sure Teddy won that game against Carolina. UM, but that game was the coldest regular season game in Panthers history fourteen degrees wind chill. It was much lower than that. Yes, yeah, it feels a little bit different. I lived in Chicago for for two years, and even as low as that temperature is, when that wind gets going, it's a whole different. I was gonna say a ball game, but that sounds a little I wasn't trying to make
a pun there. Speaking of cold. UM made an announcement yesterday we know the game time and game date of the Green Bay game up in Lambeau. Well, Saturday night, Saturday night action is there is something for that. It's action on Thursday night. I don't know what Saturday night action is. I don't know. I guess we can call it whatever we want, right, Yeah, I guess so. So
Carolina making the rare Saturday night game hasn't happened very often. UM. But playing at a f NFL network on December nineteenth at Lambeau, UM, I think the very too early web. Their projections call for twelve degrees with gus up to twenty seven miles per hour precipitation chance. You know that just you're not even looking at it at notes when you say that, you just know that off the top of your head. Have a reputation to uphold over here
and their stats guy, that was incredible. The best part about the weather is you can say whatever you want and if it changes, you know weather. That's true. Impressed. Is there a reason why they moved the games? If there was, I missed it. So the game was always TBD,
it was always TV. Yeah, it was always going to be either that Saturday or Sunday, UM because they wanted to be able to flex green Bay and then UM they decided kind of at this point in the season based on green Bay's record, you know they want to put them Saturday night. I should know this, but since I'm sitting across from Panther stats guy, I feel like you would if you knew the forecast. They don't have. They allowed fans at all the last couple of games
I've seen there were no fans. It's going to be an interesting thing to see to play up there, not only in Lambeau, but Lamba with no fans. All right, we're gonna take a quick break and we will be back with more. Hi, this is Dewey Jenkins. When the Navy sent me to Jacksonville, Florida, I sold Salad Master cookwear door to door during my free time. One evening, I knocked on the door and met the woman I would marry. She didn't buy any cookwear, but I got
her phone number. That's how we train at Morris Jenkins. Don't try to make a sale, Try to make a friend. Everyone needs a friend who knows how to fix air conditioning and plumbing. I love this podcast, don't you? All Right? We're back? Uh and Hey. If the Panther's got a third down stop in the third quarter during a home game, one lucky fan will win a smart home smoke and carbon monoxide detector through the Morris Jenkins Protect and Check sweepstakes.
If the Panther's got a fourth down stop in the fourth quarter, that same fan will also be going home with a fifteen hundred dollar gift card. Be sure to check out contest dot Panthers dot com for more details on how you can enture and and be ready for that when the Broncos come to town in a couple of weeks. That'll be fun. Yes, all right, it's victory week, it's Thanksgiving week. We gotta have some fun. Will you
have you have prepared something? You've taken the time to prepare something which is the Office as thanks Giving foods? Am I right? Correct? So I feel like the Office lends itself to something like this very easily because everyone's played the Office game, where like, out of your group of friends, which Office character would you be? Um, so I saw something this week you would you would say you're a gym Mark, wouldn't you know? I've been called
other characters. Unfortunately I disagree with them. I'm season I'm Season three Andy. I refuse to accept Season eight Andy. Um, you're not quite level or to season eight yet. Yeah, yeah, you know, like fun, fun, maybe a little naive, really good singer. Don't know about the last anyway. Now, So this is Office characters based on Thanksgiving foods and my
completely own personal takes on it. So Michael Scott barbecue because growing up every single Thanksgiving I've ever had in South Carolina, we had barbecue is the main dish of the meal, and it was like, this is this is great, but you take it for granted until you go to a Thanksgiving meal that doesn't have barbecue, and so you're like, man, you realize that this really held the whole thing together. You know, you love it until until it's gone. Well,
Ferrell of it all came in. You missed that barbecue. Jim Halpert turkey holds everything together, but everyone also kind of assumes that he has to be in every episode to hold it together. It would probably be fine without it, but you know, we we we we do it anyway. We just keep doing it. So Jim's turkey, Pam sweet potato pot. You'd be amazed by how many people don't actually really like it, but you work your way past some things and realize at the end that it was
good and very necessary. You were just seeing into these characters souls right now. You're completely Dwight candied yams just because that's the closest thing I get the beats, Ryan and Kelly, mashed potatoes and gravy. Because a lot of young picky eaters maybe don't want the gravy on their mashed potatoes, and they try to keep it away, but inevitably the gravy always just keeps finding its way back on the top of the mashed potatoes. Cranberry sauce, Andy,
it's fine, I usually skip it. But now we're doing like the canned cranberry jello type stuff right out of the can. And now that's season eight. We're not doing that, Andy. Now the entire dessert table is Kevin, the entire beverage table is Meredith um Fair and Fair. Angela is Green being ascroll. It always feels like some aunt is just forcing you to have some creed is Brussels sprouts in
honor of him sprouting mung beans at his desk. And he's also someone that you appreciate more as you get older. Uh Stanley, obviously meatballs, are you ready? Meat balls? And then oscar is crawfish at to Fae. Nobody really knows, but apparently it thinks it's better than everything that was Matt. I think we have to agree that was a work of art that was that was really beautiful. Probably probably too much, too much time and effort spent on that I just I love that. But that's Will when he
when he does these games, he gets very dedicated. Didn't What did you bring in the day after we talked about some food item and you you went out and got it the next day hot dogs? I went out and got hot dogs just to prove yeah, exactly. All right, Well, well you said the stage perfectly. We are going to do um Thanksgiving draft. We're football people, were Thanksgiving people. So here's here are the rules, guys, Matt, Well, we each have four picks um to make the perfect Thanksgiving
plate draft style. Once something's off the board, you cannot go back to it, So put your Thanksgiving GM hats on. I'm gonna give Matt the first overall pick. Matt, I feel like I've already like exposed my draft board to you, but that's on you. We asked you if you wanted to do your office Thanksgiving soliloquy before or after. I'm okay. I still feel confident in my picks. I'm not drafting any item, and I'm confident that I could get all four of mine before you guys get them. I think
that's the thing too about drafting. It's going to be subjective. I don't think I'll go with similar things that you guys are too. Yeah, I mean, so these are these are entrees, these are sides, these are desserts, whatever, everything. So it's the same. I mean, you can do whatever you want in a draft, like you know what it takes to build a good team. But you've got to come away with the team the late trust your scouting and trust you. Yeah that you feel good, maybe you
don't go. I'm going all defense, just like the Panthers. With the first overall pick in the Thanksgiving in Thanksgiving Draft, Matt Hogan selects cinnamon ham out of Honey Baked Ham Store. Yeah, that is good. Gotta be cinnamon glazed, and it's got to be from the Honey Baked cinnamon glazed. Interesting they put like this little cinnamon. I don't even know what it is. It's it gets all hard and crusty on the top. That's like a quarterback out of Oklahoma, like
very specific. You know it's been groomed. Well, it's got to be from this certain place, a little fancy. I like it. I trust the coaching, I trust everything. Honey Baked Ham Store. Alright, right, second overall pick. I mean we've already talked about this on the podcast South Carolina Barbecue. It's it's it's gotta be it's gotta be that brisket. It's gonna be chopped. It's got to be mustard based South Carolina barbecue. But nobody saw that one coming. Yeah, No,
that was complete surprised. I never had barbecue for Thanksgiving, So I'm good with the third overall pick. Christ and BALBONI selects uh fried turkey, ride turkey, fried turkey. Yeah, are the ones frying? Are you frying it? No? I'm selecting it. Someone's already done the work. My cousin Matt makes an incredible fried turkey. You know they work on it all day. Oh yeah, all the viral videos explodes. That's why it's worthy of being my first overall pick.
I'm not a big fan of the regular turkey, clearly, none of us are, you know, like you said, the Jim, you take it or leave it. But the fried turkey game changer. Ham and turkey off the board. Yeah, and barbecue for anyone, that's one of those ones that people want. Okay, I we'll see how that pans out. All right, this is my third favorite item, but I feel like it's more common. So I'm geting drafted in the second round,
and that's mashed potatoes with gravy or without. It doesn't matter as long as as long as they're not like the dry kind of mashed potatoes. Some people don't make them very moist. They're very dry. It's a fourth overall pick. You got to have the right Let's just assume that what we're drafting is at the top of the board especially, is like the perfect it's the perfect um description of what you want it to be. It's the idea. We're
not going dried mashed potatoes. Fourth overall pick. But then yeah, then if it's a good batch of mashed potatoes, that's my that's my fourth overall pick. Okay, second round, first pick macaroni and cheese. And here's I was shocked to find out that my girlfriend had never had macaroni and cheese as part of their like traditional Thanksgiving. And I was like, all right, I get that barbecue is weird, but mac and cheese. I thought that was a staple.
It's hard for me. So my family is so large that we do the thing where everyone it puts food. I mean, there's like obviously not this year. But um, traditionally there's like fifty people there, and so everyone just brings stuff and we've got like five different kinds of stuffing. We've got all sorts of stuff, and it's just it's like one giant table and you just go around and you just load your plate up, so you can really
get anything that you want. Um. And so macaroni cheese is always there, but we don't do like a sit down serve things. So I don't know, I've I've had all these things except for barbecue. Yeah, So I don't know. You're not My mom and sisters always have it always a good time for I don't. I don't like mac and cheese, so I don't partake. Everybody else does and they seem to enjoy it. What I like noodles, I
like cheese. I do not like macaroni and cheese makes no sense, like the ones there's those special kind of Thanksgiving mac and cheese with like the extra cheesy crunch top. You know, it's not we're not talking like Velvita. It's we can have the best of the best in this draft right right, absolutely, no no free agents here. No, No, it's not creamy. There's a there's a hard top to it. Yes. Um, I'm gonna go sweet potatoes with my second overall pick, the s pick in the draft in what form? This
is important? I'm gonna go extra sweet. Say I've had two that I love a lot, but I'm gonna go marshmallows on top. Okay, So like the cast role with the marshmallows, yes, okay, not not like cut or not like a pie not yet? Not yet? Okay, Well you can't claim both, can you. I'm saying the pie might come up later at a certain point, but for this is that this isn't the pie. No, this is like
because this is like goes on the main table. Yes, Baltimore took hayden Hurst and Mark Andrew's back to back picks and their draft and those are two tight ends. So christ And if she wants to go with that, I'm just I'm just making sure that they're not both listed as the same name. We'll call it a cast roll. Okay, I gotta have those delicious marshmallows on top, got it all right? Third round pick, I'm gonna go with my mom's fruit jello. She makes like a strawberry, uh, pineapple
banana fruit jello. It's been in every Thanksgiving since I can remember. It's I guess it's like Will's barbecue where I never really knew it wasn't normal until I got engaged. That sounds delicious. I wouldn't when you first said for jello, I was like, I don't know, because again, we have such a big family. Someone's gonna put like, just like the jello mold on the table, but strawberries and banana. That sounds delicious. It is, Yeah, all right, So now
I'm going to get the yams. Based on Roswell Douglas's recommendation of mixing them all together in the post Thanksgiving, I don't like my stuff. I don't like my stuff to mix or touch. Oh my god, it's very uncomfortable. Oh my god. I I will eat it on Thursday in kind of however it sits upon the plate. But then I think after in the leftover stage, I think you start being inventive. And so yeah, so he was mixing I think what he was mixing mac and cheese
and yams, right, not for me? Oh yeah, no, oh no, absolutely not. Oh all right, um, I'm gonna go I'm gonna go ahead and get a head of this Poco pie just coming in hot. No one's picked a dessert yet. I want to just I want to grab it. I want to take it off the board. Well, can I also pick pecan pie because you obviously picked the wrong pie.
It's pecan pie. That's how I say it. I know, I swear did something with Derek Brown and each word responsos yesterday with Thanksgiving foods, and they gave me a hard time for pecan pie. Let's just always it, Matt. I don't know, I've said it both ways. That's one of the few words I don't have it. I know, I'm I know I'm in the minority on this, but that's how I say it. Okay, I mean it's I'll eat it. You won't because it's on my plate, alright, Matt, last pick in the draft to build your to round
out your perfect plate. I should probably get a vegetable, but I'm not gonna do Thanksgiving. I agree, So I'm gonna go. And I don't know what brand or what they're actually called, but I think they're called yeast rolls and they're just like that. So yeah, they rise up and it's just a little square rolls. I gotta have because I eat like five of those, and I usually after Thanksgiving when we have leftovers, I'll cut one in half like and make it a sandwich and I'll put
cinnamon glazed ham in there. So that's that's my fourth picked around up my first little I like, I got everybody I wanted to, Yeah, the first. I mean, you're the best rap position. So I'm glad, glad that you got everything you wanted. All right, all right, I'll go with pumpkin pie. That's fair, I mean, because you already took the peakns. I was thinking of some sort of chocolate dessert, but I'll go with pumpkin pie. Your grandmother makes a great chocolate pie. But I'm gonna go last pick.
I'm gonna go cornbread. Oh man, the fact that both of you guys got the bread off the table, I'm kind of upset I left that out there, you know what. That's I'm planning on execution scouting, a month long process. So here's mine. I would love to hear from people on Twitter which plate they would pick. Mine is fried turkey, sweep casserole, pecan pie, and corn bread. Not a vegetable, not even vegetable, adjacent, which is how I like it
on Thanksgiving? All right, Matt, what's yours? Cinnamon glazed ham from honey baked tam, my mom's fruit jello. Actually that was the third round pick, so mashed potatoes, did my mom's fruit jello? And then EUSt rolls. If anyone knows the name of those strolls, that'd be great by tomorrow. Yes, well, and then mine was barbecue mac and cheese, candy dams and pumpkin pie. I think we're all coming away with plates that we feel good about. This is how we
would stack our plates. I need to hear from people now, well, which plate would you rather eat? Let us know? That would be the word question of the week. Which of our Thanksgiving plates that we be mistakingly built and drafted would you want to eat? All right? No better place to leave it. Happy Victory Week, Happy Thanksgiving. See you guys next week.
