Starting point is 00:01:02 It's Ghost on Trending in the morning. Hello, everybody. Hello everybody, welcome to another exciting episode of Cox and Crandall in the morning! Yes! Yes! It... Uh... Hey? Hi? Yeah, new episode!
Starting point is 00:01:20 Are you... You're very excited! Yeah, gotta be, It's Black Friday day. I know. Here's the thing. Is it exciting, though? I went around. Went for a look.
Starting point is 00:01:34 I didn't see anyone out today. Not a soul. Yeah. I did, too. Well, I saw a couple things. One thing I saw was there were carts blocking off the entrance but i drove around like 3 a.m uh and i didn't see anything and then uh i was like all right well i'll just drive by some places see everything you know i guess there was no late night overnight thing they do every year
Starting point is 00:01:58 this year huh yeah they didn't have an overnight one so i was like all right because that's what i used to go to i'd go like the late night one and so I was like, all right, because that's what I used to go to. I'd go to the late night one. And then I was like, all right, whatever. So I just drove around a bit more today after I went to the gym, and nothing. It's just nothing. Yeah, I didn't see anything. Heartbreaking. Instead, I just went to Trader Joe's and bought oatmeal.
Starting point is 00:02:22 I'm not sure which is more heartbreaking The fact that no one was out shopping Or that you were like well I guess I'll go get oatmeal Oh my god and they had mega kiwis at Trader Joe's I'm sorry what is a mega kiwi A kiwi that's just very big Yes I didn't even know they existed But apparently there's a mega kiwi
Starting point is 00:02:40 Like google it Mega kiwi I will Google. Trader Joe's. Is that what the... This might be a new product. They don't even... Oh, here it is.
Starting point is 00:02:51 Mega Kiwi. Look at this thing. It's a not-your-ordinary Kiwi. There's a website. Megakiwifruit.com. I don't know if I trust a Mega Kiwi. Like, I think I'd rather... I bought normal Kiwis because I was skeptical.
Starting point is 00:03:06 I'm looking at it right now. I'm trying to figure out what's the news on mega kiwi. I'm clicking on their news section. There are kiwi and there are mega kiwi. That's 2019. Pretty great. Can kiwis become the new cuties?
Starting point is 00:03:23 Christian Leader Magazine features mega Kiwi. That is, I don't know what that means. Here at Christian Leaders, we love mega Kiwis. I need to go to that article. What kind of fruit would Jesus eat? Kiwis is the answer. But not just normal ones. Mega ones.
Starting point is 00:03:42 Mega Kiwis. Right. Don't Kiwis originate in like australia or something new zealand because it's like kiwi right well kiwis right you know what here's the thing i would say that's insane because the kiwi the animal is not the same as kiwi the fruit however maybe it's the maybe you're right and that it originated from there because of the look. Now I got to look it up. Where is the name Kiwi from?
Starting point is 00:04:12 Wikipedia. Kiwi fruit, often shortened to Kiwi outside Australia and New Zealand, or Chinese gooseberry. I love Chinese gooseberry. Is a Kiwi a Chinese gooseberry? I gotta figure this one out Is that actually Oh my god It is
Starting point is 00:04:35 Wait a second My world is blown The edible berry of several species of woody vines And the genius Actindia. The most common cultivar group of kiwi fruit is oval, about the size of a large hen's egg. Thin, fuzzy, fibrous, tart, but edible, light brown skin. You would eat the skin? I didn't know that. I never ate the skin.
Starting point is 00:05:02 Or golden kiwis. I never ate the skin. So apparently, some submitted origins are, it has an old English origin meaning cute and sweet. It has, someone from Florida says, Kiwi means gift of God and many talents. And is of New Zealand origin. And someone from the UK says that Kiwi is New Zealand and means fresh. So that's three separate things from three separate people. One of them has to be right, right? Yeah, it's gotta be right.
Starting point is 00:05:33 Well, wait, here it says history. Kiwi fruit's native to central and eastern China. First recorded description of the Kiwi fruit dates to the 12th century China during the Song Dynasty, as it was usually collected from the wild and consumed for medicinal purposes. This plant was rarely cultivated or bred. Cultivation Oh, so it's originally from China. It was brought to New Zealand in the early 20th century. And I guess because when it grew, it looked like a kiwi?
Starting point is 00:06:04 I guess. It says the it looked like a kiwi. It says the fruit became popular with British and American servicemen stationed in New Zealand during World War II and was later exported first to Great Britain, then to California in the 60s. Huh. Yeah, I mean it says, you know, not much fruit looks like an animal, but side by side they're both brown and fuzzy,
Starting point is 00:06:24 so they named them after each. I guess that, okay, sure. When I scroll down the cultivation, it's like breeding. I picture like two Kiwis, and it's just like when a man and a woman Kiwi love each other very much, they will create a baby Kiwi. I mean, that's New Zealand as far as I'm aware.
Starting point is 00:06:42 That's all of New Zealand. But to be fair, I like kiwis a lot. They're a very good fruit. Yeah, but mega kiwi. Is a mega kiwi going to replace a cutie? I don't think so. Cuties are a different breed altogether. You know, sometimes you want a little tiny baby orange thing.
Starting point is 00:07:02 You know? Yeah. I don't know that every day you're going to want a furry fruit. However, a kiwi, every so often, delicious. Add it to your salad. Yeah. Although, now that I look, the mega kiwi is
Starting point is 00:07:15 a lot. There's like a lot of kiwi there. That's a whole... Normal kiwis are kind of like barely in your palm. This thing is a whole handful. Yeah, it's like having an orange and then like a mega orange. Like, do you really need a mega orange? Like one normal orange is fine.
Starting point is 00:07:31 Well, I mean, it's a California thing. So I guess I'm looking at all the different, I can't, there's like a guac recipe, but it has Kiwi in it. Why would you do that?
Starting point is 00:07:43 I don't know. There's, is that pizza with Kiwi on it? No. All right. You would you do that? I don't know. Is that pizza with kiwi on it? No. All right, you've gone too far. That's going too crazy. You've gone too far. This is madness. No.
Starting point is 00:07:52 Cut it out. Cut it out. Yeah, that's not, no. No, no, no. They're just coming up with weird things. This is a key lime pie with kiwi. That's fine. That's normal.
Starting point is 00:08:02 You can make it like a key lime pie, but it's K-I. Yeah. Yeah, that's fine. I get that. Yeah, that's fine that's normal you can Name you can make it like a key lime pie But it's ki yeah yeah that's fine i get That that's that's cute um so black Friday i will say even though i didn't See people at stores i did see lines Outside of gamestop and i thought that Was very funny yes i think every line Was gamestop yeah apparently the Consoles dropped today and people i GameStop and I thought that was very funny. Yes, I think every line was GameStop.
Starting point is 00:08:25 Apparently the consoles dropped today and people I think were waiting outside for PS5 and I saw a dude sleeping on an air mattress right in front of the door. I was like, no, no that's safe, but I love that guy was like, I'm bringing an air mattress
Starting point is 00:08:42 and I'm going to sit right in front of the door no one's getting the spot. Like, it wasn't just a chair where someone could, like, put a chair in front of him. He, like, inflated a queen-size air mattress in front of the door. He was like, no one gets in, no one gets out until I get my PlayStation 5. I was like, you know what? I respect it. I respect that, my dude.
Starting point is 00:09:02 I think this guy brought, like, an actual bed. Hold on. Look at that, my dude. I think this guy brought an actual bed. Hold on. Let's look at that. Are there photos? Yeah. It's from some news station on Twitter. Some dude. He brought a legit bed.
Starting point is 00:09:16 It looks like an actual bed. There are two dudes sleeping out overnight. Oh, my God. They are on beds. Yeah, I imagine that. If you wanted that ps5 i've been there i i stood in line for ps4 for ps3 and a ps2 i've been there all three times were hilarious all three times i made friends with like strangers in line and we like got taco bell really late at night and just waited however this new version where it's like, bring your bread.
Starting point is 00:09:46 I don't know if that's, you know, you're not like, you know. I guess I can't complain, though. It is funny that it's like, doors open at 7 a.m. And, yeah, I guess if you're going to go there and wait overnight, bring your air mattress. Yeah. And apparently, like, one of the GameStops only had two, but there's still, like still people camped out.
Starting point is 00:10:08 That sounds about right. That's that BS that Black Friday always has, where it's like, get your $25 5,000-inch TV. There's one. Yeah, I got to get it. Hopefully the guy in first doesn't get it. I'm third in line. Yeah, like how on earth is that fair?
Starting point is 00:10:26 Because they can advertise it, I guess, to get you in the door. Yeah. Those are the door busters, they called them, right? Because you bust in the door to get there, and then you're like, I may as well get the two for three DVDs. I would not do that. That is a terrible bargain. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:45 Just more DVDs. They had that at Yeah. I think that's the one. Just more DVDs. They had that at Target, I think. It was like two. No, no. It was two DVDs, get a third free. That's what it was. But like that.
Starting point is 00:10:55 It's like, and you can get that anytime. Why is that? For Black Friday, I will risk going out into large crowds to get this. I must have the three DVDs for the price of two. Yeah, I don't understand that one. I'm trying to see what deals there are. Yeah, PS5, like, you know, that's the new hotness. Everyone's out there trying to get it.
Starting point is 00:11:20 Yeah, I mean, to get my PS5, like I said that one time, I literally had to, like, be up at 2.15 a.m., which I am anyway, so it worked out. And I was, like, refreshing all the websites, doing all that, and then I just happened to get one at a Target that was, like, not even a Target close to me. I had to drive, like, 25 minutes away to get it, but it was still, like, you know, it was worth it. The sad thing is, I guess that's it. I mean, nothing happened. And I looked. I tried.
Starting point is 00:11:49 No craziness. No one was out there fighting over an air fryer. Oh, I bought an air fryer. What? What? But I got it from Macy's because somebody in our one chat was like, dude, they got like $30 air fryers. And it turns out I had like a $25 gift card from there. It's like my grandma gave it to me for my birthday. And I was like i get like a nine dollar air fryer so i did it do you use it at all oh i bought it like two days ago oh oh all right never mind i'll report once i get it and try
Starting point is 00:12:17 it but i would love i would love to know i would love to know more about your air fryer i've always been like is it worth getting? I don't know that I'm out there frying things. That's what I thought. I was like, I don't know. But now I'm like, well, for nine bucks, I'll try it and see what happens. I guess. I guess it's worth it.
Starting point is 00:12:36 Usually this is when I get new headphones. The ones I got right now for this computer are getting old and the thing is falling off. Let's see. These headphones on Amazon are, 200 down to 100. That seems pretty good. But then it's all things like. That's because it's all, yeah, it's all online deals. And there's one or two that are, like, that's neat.
Starting point is 00:12:55 And then the rest of it are, like, Garbo Town. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You're letting me, this Black Friday was a total bust. It's almost like there's a pandemic and people are trying to stay at home. Yeah, but even last year before the pandemic, it wasn't that great. That's because you can get everything online.
Starting point is 00:13:12 You just have it delivered. Yeah. There's no reason to go out and fight with crazy people. I need to look. Was there any video taken today? I'm going to go to Reddit. Public freak out. All right.
Starting point is 00:13:28 There you go. There's got to be something. Our public freak out. Was there anything today? Freaking out when a giant spider crawls into his thing. Wholesome freak out. Nothing. Nothing. There's got to be Nothing There's gotta be There's gotta be Black Friday
Starting point is 00:13:52 Hold on I may have found one Hold on let me see We gotta see if this is This year or not Let's see Wait It might be I see mask wearing year or not. Let's see. Wait. It might be. I see mask wearing. Let me
Starting point is 00:14:09 just let me quickly replay. Oh man it is. Here we go. Just listen to Christmas music in the back. Alright. We have to describe this. I don't know what this thing... So, right away, can you tell what this is? Is that
Starting point is 00:14:34 a wok? Is that a fryer? I don't know what they want. It's just a yellow box. It's on a pallet, and there's a series of yellow boxes. I can't tell what they're supposed to be but Apparently people just run to grab them. I think just to grab them. I can't tell why they're grabbing them And then they start to push each other into the oh
Starting point is 00:14:59 Wait no apparently this is five years old What? This one's five years old! They just linked a YouTube video. And it looks like- oh my- it's just cookware! I'm still shocked, I'm still shocked that they're fighting- I'm still shocked that there are people falling onto a pallet of cookware to like, protect cookware. Pffft.
Starting point is 00:15:22 Yeah, they're like, whoa! This woman just stole one from a little kid? Yeah, she just grabbed it from that little kid. That's just stiff arms that are like just in the NFL. She's like, hey, you don't get it. She does like a spin
Starting point is 00:15:37 to get it out of the way. That's what I would do. I would like, with my new like full body strength, I'd be like sprinting in there. Grab one. Just stiff. Someone spin out. Then you just head to the end. Five years ago was so much better.
Starting point is 00:15:52 Let's not even pretend. Five years. Oh, man. Those were the Black Friday days. Those were better times. Those are better times. I mean, it's like we said a few years back. The Internet, even without a pandemic, slowly destroyed Black Friday.
Starting point is 00:16:10 Because it's like, oh, I can just get deals online. Yeah. There's no reason to go out somewhere and risk getting trampled or whatever, camping out, unless it's a PS5. In which case, young men, who's the only people that I see in the line in these photos, young men are willing to be stupid for anything. I mean, that's just a fact. Very true.
Starting point is 00:16:30 Very true. So that's not even, we don't even need to, like, you know, explain that. That's just truth right there. That's just young guys will do anything for, anything. If they want it badly enough, they'll do stupid shit. In fact, here's, like, some girl tweeting. She works at Best Buy, and it's just a bunch of people being like hey. We're just buying stuff at Best Buy We're all we're all being safe, and we're having a good time, and this is great. Yeah, yeah, everyone there is looking very happy
Starting point is 00:16:56 Yeah, so I mean this guy got a phone and a new t-shirt. That's great for them Yeah, terrible for us, but good for them shirt that's great good for them yeah terrible for us but good for them so you know what that maybe we're at the point where black friday is slowly you know dwindling away in retail stories as long you know as well as the retail sales but it's gotta come full circle maybe it's gonna be five years maybe 10 years but there's gonna be a point where it resurfaces. There will be a point where man will turn against brother. For an Apple TV. We will be there. And that shall be our time.
Starting point is 00:17:37 We shall return. Yeah, it's like a great prophecy. When brother turns against brother and the darkness of men is corrupted by the greed of Black Friday, two dark beings shall return to laugh at all of them.
Starting point is 00:17:54 One day, we'll be back. Don't worry. We'll be back. We'll be back. You think you've won, humanity? We'll be back. How dare you?
Starting point is 00:18:08 Well, I guess today, but not later. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I forgot to mention one more thing. Yeah. Completely unrelated to Black Friday. So I subscribed to survivor man on youtube

Starting point is 00:20:06 There's other big feet, and then there's this asshole who does... The other big feet are like, no, we don't associate with that guy. That's the Florida Swamp Skunk Man. I guess so. I was like, what the shit is this? And this guy is just like, I've been searching skunk apes for years and I found them and he tried to find me
Starting point is 00:20:30 and it was just that type of thing and they were like the police found the skunk ape evidence and when they went to the lab the evidence was gone or something there's like did the government take it and I'm like just sounds like there was never any evidence and they just made it up if I had to guess but

Starting point is 00:25:26 In my life, I have tried to learn many languages and totally failed. Mostly because when I say try, I meant I gave it a couple hours and was like, alright, moving on.

Starting point is 00:30:26 traffic out there oh man it is a little crazy but nothing compared to the old black fridays I'm telling you there's some cars some you know some trains buses you know all that stuff but you know it's uh it just seems like a normal day so uh it's, it's, uh, you know, boy. Oh, my God, that's a skunk ape. And he's running down the street, and he's knocking cars over. Oh, my God, that guy's crazy. Oh, my God, of course, I think we're over Florida right now. That would make sense.
Starting point is 00:30:56 Oh, man. Yep, oh, God, yep. Oh, wait, he's just slowly disappearing. I think it's because people are pulling out their cameras. He just vanishes when the cameras come out. Yep. Yep. There he goes.
Starting point is 00:31:08 Back to you. All right, Crandor. Let's go over to weather. Weather. Weather. What's going on? I mean, the weather is what should be going on, yeah. Let's see, let's see.
Starting point is 00:31:33 So we got any weather requests here? It does believe we have a weather request for Tittybong, Victoria, Australia. You guys, You guys are just dirty. Titty Bong? How do you spell Titty Bong? Is that how I think it's spelled? It sure is. And it is 99 degrees there. Oh my god.
Starting point is 00:31:56 That's because it's summertime. And an extreme fire weather warning. Woo-wee. Extreme fire. Watch out for those fires. It's 101 degrees Saturday. Generally cloudy. High 101 degrees. Winds at 15, 25 miles an hour. You got your UV index 410. Sunrise 604 AM. Sunset 825 PM. 62 at night. Cloudy becoming windy. Low 62. Winds 20 to 30 miles an hour.
Starting point is 00:32:26 You get a little more wind, a little bit cooler. Then you got the old 10 day. You got 82. Mostly sunny wind on Sunday. Monday, 91. Tuesday, 83. Wednesday, 78. Thursday, 83.
Starting point is 00:32:40 Friday, 90. Saturday, 92. And then you get a little cool off. 75 on Sunday. Monday, 80. 82. 84. 84. Saturday, 92. And then you get a little cool off. 75 on Sunday. Monday, 80, 82, 84, 84, 89, 92. So a little up and down in terms of that heat. And I already know the Australians are going to be like,
Starting point is 00:32:52 Oi, mate, that's Fahrenheit. It is. And that's too bad. You're going to have to convert it. So, question. Just question in general to whoever submitted Tittybong. Do you actually live there? That's a good question.
Starting point is 00:33:08 Because I'm looking over Tittybong right now. I'm on the map. In Tittybong, I see one. Hold on, let me make sure. 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, that one sort of winds off, 12, 13, 14, I'm going to say 17 total roads. 13, 14, I'm going to say 17 total roads. In the entirety of Tittybong, I see roughly 17 total roads. Everything else appears to be desert. Or like, not desert, I guess the outback.
Starting point is 00:33:56 Right. I don't see any actual homes. I don't know. Who lives in Tittybong? Who lives in Tittybong? Who lives in Tittybong? There's got to be, like, one guy, right? I don't see. I need to.
Starting point is 00:34:12 Is there? All right. I'm going to drop in. Tittybong. Come on, Wikipedia. Help me out here. I just dropped into one of the roads, and I feel like I am lost. This is all you need to know.
Starting point is 00:34:26 Tittybong opened a post office in January 1884 and closed it in 1968. I don't think anyone lives in Titty Bong. Population. Is there really nobody? Oh my god! In 2016 the 2016 census says
Starting point is 00:34:47 Tittybong has a population Of three And those three people Are 100% female 0% male So there's no men in Tittybong No way there's three women who live in Tittybong All by themselves
Starting point is 00:35:04 Together Well it says there's three families So it's three women who live in Tiddybong all by themselves? Together? Well, it says there's three families, so it's three separate women. Median age, 71. I need to know the story. I can't. Australian Bureau of Statistics says Tiddybong has only three people. There's got to... This doesn't make sense.
Starting point is 00:35:26 I... Yeah, I'm looking at it right now. Titty bong. Three people. All women. Median age 71. Yeah. Private dwellings in Titty bong.
Starting point is 00:35:39 Total private dwellings, five. Get out of town. There's like five houses in all of Tittybong? And that means that three of them are taken. And two of them aren't, which is crazier. Where are they? I don't even see them. I don't understand.
Starting point is 00:35:59 I don't understand. The median age was 71, which means that there is like, I mean, unless they're all around 70-something, what they're saying is that there's, my hope is that there's like a 120-year-old and like a 20-year-old in there somewhere, and it all just kind of evens out. I just want to know where they live, because it's like there's this big ass road that runs through it.
Starting point is 00:36:29 But that's like it. That's what I'm saying. There's a few places where you can see roads that sort of like wind around. Yeah. And it looks like, oh, well, someone might live there or do something there. But everywhere else, it's just big roads that drive through it. So you don't have to be in it for long yeah that's all that's all i'm noticing i just want to know their stories
Starting point is 00:36:53 like what did they grow up in titty bong did they decide the move there like what i feel like if you're 71 and in titty bong you grew up in in Tittybong. And you're just, everyone slowly left. Is there like a, like a overall population, like the population of Tittybong in like, Tittybong population 1960, let's say. Well, that's not helpful. It's almost like no one has any information on Tittybong. This is crazier than Area 51 or whatever the shit is. I know.
Starting point is 00:37:30 This is... Titty Bong is... I don't even know. Meanwhile, when I look up Titty Bong, all I get are mini bongs. Mini bongs, mini bongs, and from Grass City. Grass City. Grass City, bitch. Grass City. Yeah,. Grass City, bitch. Grass City. Yeah, that's, um, yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:50 And all the articles on it are just people being like, ha ha, name, but nobody's getting to the details. Yeah, no one's talking about Titty Bong. Are we going to have to, you know what? Next time I go to Australia, if I'm in Melbourne, I'm going to drive specifically to Titty Bong. I need to see it. I need to see this place. You gotta do it. No one wants to live in Tittybong? They've gotta.
Starting point is 00:38:15 I mean, like, come on. At this point, there's gotta be somebody that's like, dude, I gotta live there. There's a house that's north of it. I don't know if it got to live there. There's a house that's north of it. I don't know if it's in it, but there's a house like right near there. It's 100,000. And it's just kind of a generic house.
Starting point is 00:38:36 Oh, maybe, yeah. Tittybong for sale? Like this is... 10 real estate properties in Tittybong. Like these are the only ones I found. They're at Lalbert, which I don't even think is Tittybong. This is actually really funny. Yeah, I see.
Starting point is 00:38:57 There's a place in Broadway. There is no... That's white proof? I don't know. Map view. Map map view talk to me about the map view maybe the map will show me titty bong yeah they're all like down the road from titty bong they're not actually in titty bong yeah if i scroll up to titty bong there there's nothing in Tittybong. Tittybong is empty. But Laubert is very close.
Starting point is 00:39:27 Laubert, I think, is... So basically, you drive through Tittybong, so you're either getting Laubert or that other place, Weichproof. Or, what is this? KwambaTook. KwambaTook. But apparently,
Starting point is 00:39:47 Laubert has a post office, though. So, you know, that's good stuff. If you got one of those, you got a bustling, hustling town. I can't figure out why this house is $100,000. I can't. I can't figure it out.
Starting point is 00:40:04 I'm looking at it right now like, I think that's too much money. Oh my god. Oh my god, Krentor. What? Click on this house, this $100,000 house. Scroll through the photos. There's one photo where there's the woman
Starting point is 00:40:22 in one of those portrait shots. You would get it at the mall. Oh, yeah. It is amazing. This is an amazing photo. Actually, she has two of them. There's one of her kind of looking poignantly off to the side, and then one of her in a hat.
Starting point is 00:40:40 It's lovely. Oh, yeah. I see that. I can't. Oh, my God that I can't I don't like the shower Is right next to a door That I think leads outside
Starting point is 00:40:51 There's also picture number 7 Has a monkey on a printer One is A bed that has You know how there's stuffed animals And then creepy stuffed animals This bed stuffed animals and then creepy stuffed animals? Yeah. This bed has a lot of creepy stuffed animals. Yeah, those are some pretty
Starting point is 00:41:09 creepy stuffed animals. She has a water basin, so this is I think this is very old. This woman must be very old because that is a thing where it's like, yeah, put water in there. That's how I clean myself. Like, oh no. It would tie into the median age. It would.
Starting point is 00:41:26 You're right. And there's a lot of outdoor water things. I can't tell what these are. Obviously, I have never lived in the outback. So I don't know what the hell these things are. But the property is big. Like, you get a lot of space. Maybe it's the land value.
Starting point is 00:41:44 Maybe it is the land value. Because I'm looking at it, and it looks very big. You get, like, space. Maybe it's the land value. Maybe it is the land value. I'm looking at it and it looks very big. You get the house and a whole other thing. Yeah. Alright, maybe $100,000 is worth it. Yeah. Maybe. I mean, I wouldn't live there, but
Starting point is 00:41:58 maybe. Yeah, you can buy a lot. Just a plot of land for $23,000. I'm just putting it out there. One day maybe I'll just buy land in Australia and slowly buy it. You know how Russian dudes keep buying hotels in America? Yeah, what if I started buying land in Australia? Then I'd be the Russian dude.
Starting point is 00:42:25 People would be mad at me because housing prices went up. Man. Nice. I didn't expect to learn that much about Titty Bong. Yeah, I didn't think anyone needed to, but here we are. We've learned so much.
Starting point is 00:42:39 That's the weather. All right. What is going on, sports? Sports. Well, yesterday, there were the big Thanksgiving Day games. One was the Lions losing to the Houston Texans, and the other was the football team beating the Dallas Cowboys. Yes, and everyone was making fun of the Cowboys
Starting point is 00:43:01 because they made terrible play calls. Yeah, there was the old Mike McCarthy special seen from years in Green Bay where he just decided like, hey, we're at our own 25 yard line down by four. Let's go for a fake punt. And it was a terrible decision.
Starting point is 00:43:18 It was a dumb call. I was like, what is he doing? This is so stupid. It's the football team you're going against you can stop the football team guys and then they just didn't you know they didn't yeah so uh that happened and then uh baltimore pittsburgh got postponed because players got covid yeah the uh ravens qb or someone tight end someone got uh covid lamar jackson got their quarterback so and apparently one of the coaches had it and he didn't someone got COVID? Yeah, Lamar Jackson got it, their quarterback.
Starting point is 00:43:47 And apparently one of the coaches had it, and he didn't tell anybody or protocol or something. I don't know, something like that, and then they got it. So that got delayed until Tuesday now. It's not going to be played until Tuesday. So we get a Monday end. Here we go, hoping for an easy win. No Steelers. Yep.
Starting point is 00:44:03 And all the other games are coming up on Sunday. And it's a lot of nothing really happening. Sports, NBA starting in a couple of weeks. That's it. All right, Crandor. What is our big news story of the day? Big news story of the day. I was afraid I wasn't going to be able to find anything.
Starting point is 00:44:22 And then I found an amazing story. Uh-oh. Yes. This story. Oh this story oh no oh no florida man defrost thanksgiving turkey in swimming pool i don't why is this a news story why is stupidity news I just don't know anymore. A Florida man is getting a lot of attention after sharing their unique family tradition on social media. Mark O'Donnell and his family found an unusual way to defrost their Thanksgiving turkey, and it's become an annual tradition. We thaw our turkey in the pool. That's how you do it when you live in Florida, he said. That's not how you do it at all. No matter the location.
Starting point is 00:45:06 That is terrible. It is. Every year, a different family member throws the turkey into the pool. This year. You know what? This is a tradition. Let the kids do it this year, honey. Let them do it.
Starting point is 00:45:21 This year, the bird was thawed in just a few hours. Most people wonder, doesn't the chlorine get into your turkey? O'Donnell said, these bags are sealed by the factories. We've never had a leakage yet and no chlorine in our turkey. He says that with the confidence of a man who does not know. There's no way that this could be filled with chlorine. These are factory sealed. The factory sealed it. There's no possible way this could ripple.
Starting point is 00:45:51 There's no way it's got a leak. I don't think I've ever purchased an item that's got a slight rip in it, ever. It's sealed by a factory. It has never happened. The factory is always right. The United States Department of Agriculture recommends three ways to safely thaw a factory. It has never happened. The factory is always right. The United States Department of Agriculture recommends three ways to safely thaw a turkey. The refrigerator, cold water, or a microwave.
Starting point is 00:46:14 Uh-huh. But not the pool, huh? No. Weird. Okay. O'Donnell knows his way is not recommended, but the family says tradition has been happening for 18 years
Starting point is 00:46:26 after they forgot to get the turkey out of the freezer oh my god that's even better is the first time was that they were like you know what we just got to do it some way and then they just kept doing it rather than go back and learn a lesson they were like, the pool's hilarious. Yeah. Oh my gosh. He said, I think this year, because it's 2020, people are looking for some lighthearted fun. Hey, look at these crazy people. We're crazy about Florida, he said. Yep.
Starting point is 00:47:01 Americans eat an average of 704 million pounds of turkey every Thanksgiving, according to the National Turkey Federation. It's safe to assume most of these birds are not thawed in swimming pools. Yes, they would be correct. However, because of this article, I look forward to the increase in people doing it. There he is. Swinging the turkey in.
Starting point is 00:47:24 Oh, my God, he's chucking it in. Yes! This guy definitely has the vibe of a dude who's like, look, all my turkey's in pools and I don't wear masks to anywhere else. He definitely does. Yeah, this guy. This is very Florida. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:41 No, that's 100%. 110% Florida. Yeah. My favorite part is that his bench is plants like people could sit there but my plants are there so tough yeah no that's you gotta plant plant benches why throw it in like here's the worst part this photo is him talk like tossing it in the pool that's how that thing rips yeah i why not just dunk it in like him tossing it in the pool. That's how that thing rips. Yeah. Why not just dunk it in? Like him tossing it, that's how you end up with the rip? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:12 Oh, my God. This guy. This guy. Man, hey, 18 years and it's still going. I need to look something up. Are frozen turkeys airtight? And it's original. They do claim that they have airtight containers.
Starting point is 00:48:39 Like the packaging's airtight. I mean, so far, it's flawless logic. This guy is very smart. I mean, yeah, maybe he knows more than we do. Yeah, maybe. Maybe. Who knew? All right, well, that is one hell of a way to end a Cox and Crandor.
