Summary

Three years ago, my now-husband Brian Cristiano and I lined up at the start of two very different Turkey Trots. Though both races were five miles, the outcomes were vastly dissimilar. I ran the Prospect Park Track Club Turkey Trot in Brooklyn, NY, in a respectable 38:41—a 7:44 minute per mile pace. Meanwhile, in Rhode Island, Brian was racing the Newport Pie Run. Here's a dramatic retelling of how his race went, plus a very special Thanksgiving-themed Sprint to the Finish. (This episode was basically sponsored by three Abita Brewing Company beers and two shots of Patron—all for Brian.) Have a very Happy Thanksgiving!

0:16.1

0:22.5

He is a man who I would say he needs no introduction but he likes to have one.

0:29.0

Oh boy, here we go. So today's guest, his name is Brian Cristiano. You may know him on the

0:36.5

internet as Bold CEO. He also just happens to be this guy that I'm married. So I joke all the time,

0:46.3

well first Brian, welcome to the show. I'll let you start shining. Okay, so I joke all the time

0:52.8

because I'm the Joker in this relationship. I joke about how I'm the funny one. Like you may

0:57.0

have seen me make little comments on Instagram from time to time about how Brian made me laugh

1:02.5

that one time because the truth is... It was like twice. Yeah, we usually if Brian makes me laugh,

1:08.4

we joke that the neck that like he doesn't have to try again for a really long time but the thing

1:12.7

about Brian is he never tries to make me laugh. When Brian makes me laugh so hard that I almost

1:17.8

pee my pants which is once a month he doesn't try. So I wanted to bring him on the show and I'll say

1:24.3

when I first started the show back in February, I knew that this was an episode we would do. You did?

1:29.8

Yes. Why? When I was planning out my schedule, you know, I wanted to think of timely things. New

1:35.7

York City Marathon, different holidays. I didn't follow through on most of them. I'll blame

1:40.4

Crohn's disease for that. But I always knew I wanted to do a Thanksgiving episode with the person

1:45.5

for whom I am most thankful. So who's coming on the show today? But Ellie doesn't speak English.

1:52.6

So you were runner up. You were the next closest thing. You guys are very similar.

1:57.6

It's so good. Ellie, of course, is our dog. So let's get into this because the reason Brian's

2:03.0

on the show today is to recount what we call the great turkey trot of 2014. Now I will preface
