[0:36] Speaker 1: We really are.
[0:37] Speaker 2: We absolutely love it. I love getting to watch all
[0:39] Speaker 2: these movies and TV shows take me back. There's so
[0:43] Speaker 2: much great art out there, you know, I.
[0:46] Speaker 3: Know, and just have to revisit like I'm a total revisitor,
[0:49] Speaker 3: like I will. I choose to revisit things over new
[0:51] Speaker 3: things sometimes, and so this has always been such a pleasure. Kevin,
[0:56] Speaker 3: what are you doing for Thanksgiving this year?
[0:58] Speaker 2: You're in New York.
[0:58] Speaker 1: You're in the heart of Thanksgiving Macy's Day Parade.
[1:02] Speaker 2: Yes, my sister lives like twenty minutes away in New Jersey.
[1:06] Speaker 2: My parents now live in Connecticut, so we're all meeting up.
[1:11] Speaker 2: I love Austin, and I are going to my sisters.
[1:15] Speaker 2: It's going to be great. I think it's going to
[1:17] Speaker 2: be so fun. I've done the same thing for Thanksgiving
[1:20] Speaker 2: every single year for the past I don't know, twenty years,
[1:25] Speaker 2: so this is going to be a lot of fun.
[1:27] Speaker 2: What about you?
[1:27] Speaker 3: What are you doing not to bring this party down?
[1:30] Speaker 3: I mean, I'm grateful for our city and our health
[1:33] Speaker 3: and are all the good things, you know, the most
[1:35] Speaker 3: important things. We usually spend Thanksgiving our dear family friends
[1:40] Speaker 3: home in Altadena, but unfortunately this past year he lost
[1:44] Speaker 3: his home.
[1:44] Speaker 2: In the line.
[1:45] Speaker 3: My god, he's amazing and he's been the most you know,
[1:50] Speaker 3: great spirited person through all of this, and it really
[1:53] Speaker 3: just puts things in perspective. So sadly we will not
[1:56] Speaker 3: be spending Thanksgiving there, but we will still be in
[1:59] Speaker 3: spending the Giving with the people we usually spend it with,
[2:01] Speaker 3: which is most important. And with two kids eating a lot,
[2:08] Speaker 3: we have to bring a lot of food because we
[2:10] Speaker 3: eat a lot.
[2:11] Speaker 2: Now, are you cooking a lot?
[2:13] Speaker 3: Oh?
[2:13] Speaker 1: No, we always make our mashed potatoes and stuffing.
[2:16] Speaker 3: Yes.
[2:17] Speaker 2: Yeah.
[2:18] Speaker 3: If we do an additional Thanksgiving like usually over the weekend,
[2:22] Speaker 3: we'll do like a second Thanksgiving with other family. We
[2:25] Speaker 3: will sometimes pre buy things because with two children. Again,
[2:28] Speaker 3: I'm not making mashed potato space, but I do make
[2:31] Speaker 3: mashed potatoes from scratch. And I learned about the joy
[2:34] Speaker 3: of a rice cooker about five years ago. Or sorry,
[2:36] Speaker 3: not a rice cooker, but a rice a riser for
[2:39] Speaker 3: mashed potato.
[2:39] Speaker 2: Oh yeah, much.
[2:41] Speaker 1: Easier than smashing potatoes.
[2:43] Speaker 2: This year, for the first time in a long time,
[2:46] Speaker 2: I'm not making anything.
[2:47] Speaker 1: Anythink given you usually like man the kitchen.
[2:50] Speaker 2: I know, well, man in the kitchen because we are
[2:53] Speaker 2: doing it at my sisters. I would have needed to
[2:57] Speaker 2: brind the turkey for at least twenty four hours, and
[3:00] Speaker 2: I'll be able to do that. So Austin's going to
[3:05] Speaker 2: make some pies. He's going to make his rolls that
[3:07] Speaker 2: he's dinner rolls because those are easy dinners. Yes, And then.
[3:12] Speaker 1: Well that's nice, Kevin. You get to just enjoy your
[3:14] Speaker 1: Thanksgiving for once. I mean, like you are, you're working
[3:17] Speaker 1: really hard. You have sandwich.
[3:20] Speaker 3: You're working so hard, you're sandwich between two days or shows,
[3:23] Speaker 3: So like, why not just sit back and like let
[3:25] Speaker 3: people take care of you for a little bit.
[3:27] Speaker 2: Was like, look, last year we ordered some food and
[3:30] Speaker 2: is that really bad? I'm like, no, just do it.
[3:32] Speaker 2: We never do that. Just order it all, get it all,
[3:35] Speaker 2: do it.
[3:36] Speaker 1: There's nothing wrong with that.
[3:38] Speaker 2: Yeah uh yeah.
[3:40] Speaker 1: And Thanksgiving a.
[3:41] Speaker 3: Parade my favorite all the Broadby shows performing all there's
[3:47] Speaker 3: a French bulldog.
[3:49] Speaker 1: Float coming in this year, your dream, my dream. So
[3:55] Speaker 1: I'm excited.
[3:56] Speaker 3: And you know, the parade is different and fun because
[3:58] Speaker 3: the kids kind of appreciate it, especially Emma, and she
[4:02] Speaker 3: waits for like the bluey float, which we all ways float,
[4:05] Speaker 3: you know what I mean. And so it's really fun
[4:07] Speaker 3: and special. And so one year I hope to bring
[4:09] Speaker 3: her to the actual parade to see it in New York.
[4:13] Speaker 3: It was something like very special for me to experience,
[4:15] Speaker 3: so like, I want to do that for her one day.
[4:18] Speaker 3: So one year we'll go back and do that.
[4:19] Speaker 2: Watching that parade as a kid was one of the
[4:21] Speaker 2: most magical things. I loved it. I still get sort
[4:25] Speaker 2: of like starstruck by the front of Macy's. When I
[4:27] Speaker 2: walked past it here, I'm like, oh, I know this
[4:30] Speaker 2: is where it is. Have you ever performed in it?
[4:33] Speaker 1: Yes?
[4:33] Speaker 3: I performed in it when I was nine. It was
[4:34] Speaker 3: the coldest things giving in our lifetime. It was like
[4:38] Speaker 3: thirty degrees. We were freezing. The poor moms in the
[4:42] Speaker 3: show had to wear like sleeveless, like sleeveless craftime like corsets,
[4:48] Speaker 3: and everybody was freezing. But it was such a fun.
[4:52] Speaker 3: We got a hotel like the night before, my parents
[4:54] Speaker 3: woke me up. It's like four a yem and we
[4:55] Speaker 3: all go to the theater and get dressed and then
[4:57] Speaker 3: they bust you over and you perform on in in
[5:00] Speaker 3: front of Macy's and it's just so oh my gosh.
[5:03] Speaker 3: I wish I could go back and like look at
[5:05] Speaker 3: myself and tell myself at nine years old, like you know,
[5:08] Speaker 3: like you just do you have no idea at nine
[5:10] Speaker 3: years old what you're doing, But how cool is that?
[5:13] Speaker 3: So yes, it's very special and I will be watching
[5:16] Speaker 3: all that.
[5:19] Speaker 2: Do you understand that? No?
[5:22] Speaker 3: I think if I told her, like Mommy's been there before,
[5:25] Speaker 3: like she's only finally getting into the idea that like
[5:27] Speaker 3: mommy sing songs and she only wants to listen to ABC,
[5:30] Speaker 3: so like not yet, but one day she's like I
[5:34] Speaker 3: want to listen to her mommy songs and I try
[5:36] Speaker 3: to play her like dog Days or something different, and
[5:38] Speaker 3: she'd be like, can you play ABC?
[5:41] Speaker 2: It's a fine. Do you like Thanksgiving?
[5:45] Speaker 1: It's my favorite? Is it your good?
[5:48] Speaker 2: It's my favorite?
[5:49] Speaker 1: Yeah?
[5:50] Speaker 3: Favorite? Love and Graham is now like a Thanksgiving baby basically,
[5:57] Speaker 3: so he was born a few days before Thanksgiving last year,
[6:00] Speaker 3: and so we just had.
[6:01] Speaker 1: His birthday, his first birthday.
[6:03] Speaker 2: I can't believe he's one.
[6:05] Speaker 3: I know. The celebrations start like with his birthday, and
[6:09] Speaker 3: then it's Thanksgiving, and then it's Christmas and we're doing
[6:12] Speaker 3: all the Christmas things. So it's I used to hate
[6:14] Speaker 3: the holidays. I never loved the like it wasn't like
[6:17] Speaker 3: a thing for me. And now I'm like, what are
[6:19] Speaker 3: we doing?

[7:04] Speaker 2: Oh god, oh man, I mean stuffing.
[7:09] Speaker 1: Yes, if it's done right.
[7:10] Speaker 3: I have very different definitions of what stuffing are, and
[7:14] Speaker 3: I'm I feel very passionate that the stuffing bread has
[7:18] Speaker 3: to be fluffy. It cannot be like that little inside
[7:21] Speaker 3: turkey stuffing be like overly wet.
[7:25] Speaker 1: No, it has to be like.

[11:11] Speaker 2: have too many desserts and nobody really wants them after
[11:13] Speaker 2: because everybody's so full, and then they just sit there
[11:15] Speaker 2: and then I feel forced to eat them all.
[11:17] Speaker 1: I feel like David will eat them all for us.
[11:19] Speaker 2: Okay, you're not a big sweets person.

[11:37] Speaker 3: but like I will have a piece of pie.
[11:40] Speaker 1: Maybe an attribute.

[11:48] Speaker 3: or three o'clock meal.
