Welcome to Michigan Hockeycast 8.9, where we're hoping last weekend is a predictor of this upcoming weekend.

Thank you. All right, Al, it's Ohio State Week again, but in a different sport.

It's also Thanksgiving week, which is exciting, I think.

And it's an insane sports week, as you have noted.

But first, what is your favorite Thanksgiving food?

Um,

I don't know, mac and cheese. What? Mac and cheese? Are you, I mean, unless we're doing, I mean, unless we're doing. Mac and cheese isn't a Thanksgiving food? It is. It is aside. You have mac and cheese at Thanksgiving? Yeah. Every year? Not every year, but, I mean, I don't, I don't cook the Thanksgiving, but you don't?

I always enjoy it if it's there.

I just don't cook the Thanksgiving, but...

You don't?

I always enjoy it if it's there. I just don't like Thanksgiving food very much. Like, what? No, that's a... None of it? We never discussed this on the podcast? Apparently not. Well, maybe we have, and I've forgotten. No. Like, not really. I mean, like... Well, I don't have words.

You've befuddled me. Not really. I mean, like... Well, I don't have words.

You've befuddled me.

I've been bamboozled.

Let us stray.

Let us stray, yeah.

So none of them?

Like, if you told me...

So I, like, I can eat turkey, but it's not, like, my favorite meat.

Yeah, it's not my favorite meat. But, like, I'm excited for it for a few times, and one of them is Thanksgiving. You are not? I mean, that's like the one time of year I'll eat like that kind of turkey. Yeah, I agree. I don't, you know, I'll have lunch meat turkey. Yeah, but you don't like go to a restaurant and get the roasted turkey. I don't think I've ever done that. I don't think they have that on a lot of menus. Well, not at like fast food places, but they probably do it like sit down places. A roasted turkey and gravy? Not really. I mean. I bet they have it at nights. Maybe. Maybe. And that's just not like a very common. But it's not what I look for when I go to nights. What about sides? You have to like potatoes? No. You like potatoes? I like the least. No, I'm not, I don't eat mashed potatoes. Like, you don't eat them at all? No. In any context? No. Or any variety? No, it's a texture. It's a texture thing. So do you like baked potatoes? Not really.

I eat fries.

I eat... any context? No. Or any variety? No, it's a texture. It's a texture thing. So do you like baked potatoes?
