Welcome to the Audible, presented by Trader Joe's.

I'm Stuart Mandel.

Joined, as always, by Bruce Feldman on signing day for high school players in college football.

But real quick, Bruce, it's holiday season.

People are going to holiday parties.

Speaking of Trader Joe's, pick up the jingle jangle.

It's this tin, this black tin full of candies, perfect for people, you know,

get a little handful of candy when you're mingling in the living room

or having a little dessert after dinner. It's, you know, Trader Joe does these great seasonal

items. That's a very popular one. By the way, speaking of seasonal, one food that I never paid

attention to at all until I got to be I don't know probably like

three years ago which now all of a sudden I snack on way too much so every year our kids like

build gingerbread houses through school and one day I just saw one's you know just sitting there

and I would like not eat the other stuff on it

but i actually found um it's way more tasty than i ever expected gingerbread yeah it's because of

the cinnamony i don't know it's a snack food that i did not think at my age i would care for and i

actually do well you know people can change do. Well, you know, people can change.

Even at your advanced age, people can change.

Like we said, it's December 20th.

It's signing day, which, in my opinion, has just gotten completely lost in the shuffle now.

First, first they, you know, that December became February.

And then the portal overtook high school signing day but there have been a few surprises starting before signing
