Today's show is brought to you by Century Gusto and Delete Me.

My name is Mike Hurley, and I have the pleasure, as always always would be joined by Mr. Jason Snow. Hi, Jason Snow. Hi, Mike Hurley. I don't know how it's December, but you know, it's Monday morning and I woke up in December it was, it just hit me in the face. So it has started. It has started. Are you a Christmas tree household? Yeah. Is your tree up? No. I don't know. When would we have, we get a tree. We buy a tree, like a live tree. So, no, I put up some Christmas things. Right. But we buy a live tree. And you, you wait until Thanksgiving is done before the tree will go up. Is that like the border line?

Yeah, I mean, nothing happens until Thanksgiving is over.

And we just got home yesterday.

So, you know, very little on that front.

Speaking of Thanksgiving, I have a snow talk question that comes from Jonathan who wants to know.

Jason, did you smoke your turkey?

And if so, what method did you use and how was it?

If so, what method you use is interesting because it, like, anyway, I didn't. I was in,

in Colorado visiting family. And so I did not have to make a turkey. I was not looked at as the

turkey designated turkey maker. I can do a turkey a lot of different ways, but we used a pellet grill,

a traker smoker, which is what I, it's the inspiration for me buying one so that I can do that, too.

But I left that to my brother-in-law. He took care of that. I made some Brussels sprouts,

like in a nice kind of a soy marinade kind of thing and they were really good and there were lots

of dishes and there was like a dozen people and we had a good time but I didn't have to make

the turkey but if I were to make the turkey at this point that is what I would do I'd brine a turkey

and then I'd put it in a smoker for a few hours and that would be, it would be tasty like it was

at my brother-in-law's house. Mike, did you get to celebrate American Thanksgiving with your

American friends? We did, actually. We spent Thanksgiving at the Smith household, the underscore household.

We have never had a, like a home-cooked Thanksgiving on Thanksgiving before, and it was wonderful. The food is fantastic. The company was even better. We had a really wonderful time. It was lovely. It was really nice. And so, yeah, we had a great Thanksgiving. Thank you very much. That's great. And you used the opportunity on your blog to list a bunch of things you were thankful for. So fully in the spirit of American Thanksgiving.
