Hi, guys.

Welcome to another episode of Dimes in the Rough with myself, Teddy Mellencamp, and... Hey, I'm Erica Jane. Hi, Teddy Mellencamp. Hi, what are you doing for Thanksgiving? I'm hosting. You are? You're cooking? You're doing all the things? Well, no, it's already cooked. So, John and I are hosting, yeah, at my house. Oh, that's nice. Yeah, they've got people and a dog and, you know, the man and the whole thing. So it's nice. I love it. You and John are hosting? Yep. Yep. I know. And that's sweet. Isn't that sweet? Isn't that sweet? I was just on the phone on the way here. I was like,

as soon as I get back from podcasts, we got to go get these things from Bristol Farms. And he's like, yes, okay, make a list. Are you going to get the Hawaiian bread that we all ate when we were kids? I love those roles. I love those roles. What about you? What are you doing? I'm going to my dad's. Nice. Yeah, going to my dad's.

Thanksgiving is figured out going to my dad's with the kids and then Christmas is still

up in the air. Up in the air. So I haven't figured that out yet. Me. Right. So we'll see.

But there's a lot of you for Thanksgiving, right? Yeah, there's a lot of us. So we all go and we go to my

grandpa's house. I mean, we're so lucky that I still have a grandpa. That is cool. Or a great

grandpa. Oh, a great grandpa? Oh, my great grandpa. So how many generations does that make you?

So that's, it's me, then my dad, then my grandpa, Richard. So that's one, two, three, four. And then Cruz would be five. Five. Well, you're, yeah. Yeah. Or all your kids would be five. So there's a lot of us. And then all of us come with our kids to my grand... To Richard's we call him richard to richard's house and then like

you kind of still wonder as if you're my age if like you're at the kids table or you're at the

adult's table it never feels like i graduated from the kids table never feels like i graduated from the

kid's table like i'm going to need to walk down to the basement and sit in my little spot for before. Right. And the little table. Did you guys have the little table? Me too. Yeah. Yeah. And then I still feel like I should be at the little table. But I also, because I don't contribute, I'm not helping. Well. So then I'm like, it's okay. Do you help prepare, clean, take away, serve, none of it? None of it. I just show. I just show up to eat. And then eat all the egg noodles. Do you guys have egg noodles? No. Oh, they're so good. But what are they? I mean, I know, but they're essentially like thick noodles.

I know what they are, but how are they prepared? I don't know, but like my aunts make them and it's so good and they're the first to go. So it's like the second you get there, it's like, you got to grab the egg noodles. Yeah, like I'm like, give me the egg noodles. For me, it's I need the egg noodles and I need the white meat turkey.

Okay, what time does Thanksgiving begin because? me the egg noodles. For me, it's, I need the egg noodles and I need the white meat turkey.

Okay. What time does Thanksgiving begin? Because in my family, there was two rounds. So you went

for lunch and dinner. Like there's a couple of rounds because you went to other people's homes.

Oh, ours is at grandpa's. It's at noon. Right. And then we'll go back to my dads and we'll all complain that we're hungry. And then eat again. That's the point I'm making is that it always, at least where I'm from, it started at noon. And then you would go visit everybody and eat again. It was like two dinners in one day. Lots of pies, lots of trees. Pumpkin pie? Yeah, I'm more of like a cobbler person.

I love cobbler.

Cherry, peach.

Any kind of cobbler.
