James I guess when this episode goes up it will be Thanksgiving here in the US.

Yeah, let's let's kick off with a big hearty Thanksgiving to everybody who celebrates it in the States.

Thanksgiving is a pretty big deal in the States.

It sure is.

I hope people get to enjoy it and you get kind of a forced long weekend, extra long weekend.

I think between the long weekend and the fact that there's no thing like there's no pressure to like buy gifts or that sort of thing. It's it kind of is this, you know, it's one of my favorite holidays just because it's like you get together hang out

eat some good food see some family and there isn't that like hype surrounding it like

like you get the day after Thanksgiving so Yeah, I think it's great.

And you know, in Canada, it's a lot more chill.

We don't have as much going on.

It's kind of a nice family hangout.

Some people take it pretty seriously and do big things.

And I always really love being part of that

when it was possible it feels like that was a long time ago before COVID.

Yeah. But yeah I like the how seriously Americans take it and I do like that aside

from the kind of Black Friday element which is kind of comes and goes and its level of grossness.
