Hey there, my name is Brandt. Producer Sherry is here, and we welcome you back after Thanksgiving weekend.

Hope you had an awesome weekend.

We had Thanksgiving leftover dinner at Sherry's house with her family. It was awesome.

Yes, you did. I'm hoping so. I felt kind of sheepish, even though our families have been together many, many times.

I'm always like, boy, they are. We are, not they. We are so loud and intrusive. Okay. We love it. I know it doesn't seem that way because I'm sitting there. But I love it. Okay. I only, I just wish I had it around all the time. But Cherry always apologizes. My love family's so loud. Like, that's fantastic. It's just a lot. The only, the only thing I would have everybody back down on is just making me want to, like,

you have to eat this.

Okay.

Like I don't have to.

Right.

And so you guys, like your mom wanted me to eat this pie.

Like I had like five pounds of turkey.

And I'm good.

I really. No, but if you don't eat the sweet but the pie I love you step away thank you what's going on Sherry came up with this list of things that a

gentleman should do and I'm all about that I think we should be gentlemen one of them though I don't

know if we could get away with it.

And that is, it says we're still supposed to stand up when a woman walks in the room. Mm-hmm. Says a gentleman rises when she enters the room. Do you really want that? Wouldn't you be confused, though? I mean, I'm all about that. I think it'd be great. Uh-huh. Let's do that. But I just don't think women... I've found that a lot of stuff that they say that you should do if you do it.

People are like, what are you doing? You stand up and stand up every time a woman walks in the room? Yeah? Yeah, that would be odd. If we're all in a meeting or something, we're all having dinner and you stand up. Yeah. That would,'s dangerous about reading tips for social behavior is they'll tell you to do it

and you do it.

And everybody's like, what in the world?

What is you doing?
