| 0:00.0 | So what is the deal with Canadian Thanksgiving? |
| 0:01.9 | I always forget and I should know because they used to always talk about it on the Letterman |
| 0:05.7 | show because Paul Schaefer was Canadian and I should know this and I don't unfortunately. |
| 0:10.1 | Yeah, we have in October when you have Columbus Day because it freezes here so much earlier. |
