Woohoo! Welcome to the Summer Work All-Play podcast. We are so happy to be here with you this week, especially because it's Thanksgiving week.

It's really exciting. This is our 24th episode. Now we're going to start numbering our episodes.

24th. That's the last week was our Jordan episode, episode 23. So now we're Jordan plus one.

No, this is our 10-Graphy Junior episode. I was a baseball fan growing up, so I had his little action figures.

So yeah.

You're going to be building up the sports fires. I'm going to stick with Jordan. So by the time we get to episode 50, I'm going to be like,

this is the Jordan episode plus 27. I can't wait to wear in the hundreds.

But yeah, so speaking of Thanksgiving week, this is a really weird time for everyone with Thanksgiving.

I mean, this is usually the holiday season when everyone kind of converges on the same places or travels or does all these different things.

And with COVID, I mean, you know, you might be doing that. You might not, but whatever you're doing, I feel like there's probably some guilt there.

I mean, we're guilty for not seeing people. Other people are guilty for seeing people. There's just a lot of guilt in the air.

It's interesting. We talked about this on our podcast last week. And I got an unprecedented number of people reach out to me and say I identified with the like the talks about COVID and Thanksgiving so much.

And it was, I mean, it was shocking for me to see just how many people are struggling with us right now.

Yeah. And so don't feel judged. You know, I mean, we're not seeing anyone. But if you are, it's okay.

I mean, this is a long grind. Be safe. Be careful. But, you know, cut yourself slack. I mean, people are, everyone's cussing everyone else out on the internet right now about just about everything.

So, you know, don't like go do something with 100 people unmasked. But at the same time, like seeing your family and stuff, that's totally fine.

I think the other thing that I'm seeing too is athletes who are just feeling and people in general who are feeling like a little unsure of how to celebrate the holidays.

Like we've gone through that. Like typically we have a pretty big Thanksgiving celebration here. Like a full friends giving day.

We have this strangely odd kitchen counter. It's very weird.

It's like, so for listeners out there, it's like 10 feet by 5 feet. It's massive.

And you can even reach the other side of the counter. Like the, it's total. I mean, you would need to be a minute bowl.

You need to be like eight feet tall to be able to reach to clean, which is funny because so we have these like cleaning lines.
