The Around the NFL podcast is slightly weaker than the NFC East.

Welcome to another edition of the Around the NFL podcast presented by the United States Marine Corps.

My name is Dan Hanses and I come to you from a virtual room filled with some heroes. Mark Sessler, Greg Rosenthal, what is up, boys? I take umbrage with that little intro. We're stronger than the NFC East. It's a day after Thanksgiving. And look at us. Like, we're the fittest, smartest, most best-looking trio on the block.

I don't know about that.

I know personally I'm battling like a massive head cold right now.

So the fact that anyone on, if you're logged into NFL.com and watching this, I apologize, personally.

Or if you're listening, Dan.

Yeah, no, absolutely.

I mean, it was tough.

Thursday Thanksgiving this year was, you know, at the Hanzas house, it was just the four of us.

And for some reason, it was the hardest Thanksgiving ever.

I don't know what it was, but my wife and I, my wife, you know, God bless her. She's great. She's cool. She's hot. And she does good stuff in the kitchen. She knows how to cook.

You look great. You wouldn't know it. That's why, you know, that's why I think the move on Thanksgiving, you got to call to the bullpen, pick up some of the food catering, make some. So it's a little bit of a mix. Take a little bit of the load off because I'm not helping in the kitchen. So I hear you. It's too much. Yeah. I did fry a turkey. That was nice. And that, and that tasted well, but that tasted good. But that was like, you know, that's a lot of work too.

I'm dying here, Sessler. I did fry a turkey. That was nice. And that, and that tasted well, but that tasted good.

But that was like, you know, that's a lot of work too. I'm dying here, Sessler. It's a lot of work. Listen, I think you're, for all that anyone's going through, I always look to you as sort of the heroic figure that you're taking on more. And I really do appreciate your efforts. And we have so much to get to here with

week 12 on the horizon. But Mark, I have to ask because it is the number one food day of the year

on some level and you are a fooditarian famously. You don't like to eat. What do you do on Thanksgiving?

Take the audience through what your Thanksgiving was like. Well, it's rather bleak. It's not going to impress anyone. I mean, actually, Simone's family
