Ladies and gentlemen, it is now Thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving here in these United States.
If you are watching elsewhere, you're wondering, what is this thing?
They talk about it.
It's like Boxing Day when I hear about your Boxing Day.
What the hell is that?
But Thanksgiving is a...
Thanksgiving, probably next to Christmas, is one of the most overly hyped but significant events that we as human beings engage in.
It's a chance to go to family.
And to be together.
And you say all this stuff, you know.
And then you'll find out, and listen, especially if you're younger, if you find today to be a pain in the ass, I understand.
And it is.
But there will come a day, I promise you, where you will look back at this and these people, these relatives that kind of get on your nerves now, you will remember them.
And you will say to yourself, I miss them.
I miss them.
I miss Uncle Dave.
I had some of the greatest relatives, and they all kind of kicked right before I was around 12, but they were just, it was great.
Some not so much.
Of course, the Trump years destroyed all semblance of Christmas and holiday, but that's par for the course.
That made it even special then as well.
And today is a chance here in New York City, New York Shetty, And the Chevy.
Chevy, Chevy, Chevy, and the Chevy.
They're on Central Park West.
They're getting ready for the balloons.
And nothing bores me more than balloons.
But kids love it.
Parades love it.
Anwar Sadat, not a big fan.
But kids love it.
How many of you great people are going to be watching the parades today?
How many?
How many?
What are you doing?
Tell me what you're doing.
Tell me what everybody is doing.
Where are you going?
Who's cooking?
A lot of stress.
A lot of stress, especially for those moms and grandmas out there.
Yep, Liz Solak.
Bless her heart.
Liz is going to turn the parade on.
It's about kids.
Yesterday we were driving about in the Yugo.
It's a stretch, by the way.
Central Park West, up in the 70s.
There they are.
There they are.
Look at this.
Pete is working from home and hosting the in-laws.
Bless your heart.
Bless your heart.
Sorry.
I don't know if I see this.
We are seeing a lot of Pete condolences.
Oh, I miss my dad.
This is the first Thanksgiving without him.
You know what, Pete?
Let me tell you about your father and listen to what I'm saying to you.
Listen to me.
I know this may sound corny, but it's true.
I want you to imagine a balloon.
What's a balloon?
It's nothing.
It's a piece of vinyl or plastic or whatever it is, or rubber, and you look at it and it's nothing.
And that's who we are.
That's who we are when we enter this world.
We're just that.
And something blows us up.
And whatever that is, that's our spirit, our life, our happiness, our personality, our history, our essence, who we are, our spirit, our soul.
Whatever word you like.
What would you like to call it?
What would you like to call it?
Soul?
Great.
And then, if you were to go to a kid and you say, here, blow this up.
See this?
This is a balloon.
And watch this.
Which is, by the way, the way we go, interestingly enough.
Because life is a...
Right?
After it's done.
But where does that air go?
It doesn't go away.
It just becomes reintroducing itself back to where it was.
And you've got pictures of the balloon.
You remember the balloon?
And you're looking at this thing right now.
It's like, this is...
This is not my balloon.
This is back to this rubber thing.
That's what it's like.
But your father, Pete, your father, that spirit, that essence, the memories, the smell.
Remember his smell?
Remember his weird crooked finger or the way he used to, couldn't pronounce a word, or this aquavel?
But whatever the hell it is, you remember these things.
And when you stop, always look up and laugh and say, he would have loved that because he's there.
He's there!
And he's there well and not sick.
The essence of who he is.
I believe it.
It's not religious.
Nothing to do with God.
Sorry.
Nothing to do with God.
It has to do with just memories.
Certain things.
Oh my God.
They are there.
And that's it.
And you can say you miss your dad, yes, to see him, you're right.
And you know what?
What if you didn't?
What if you didn't?
Oh my God.
Thank God he's gone.
Not a good thing.
Marie, by the way, is going to make dinner and decorate for Christmas for a 97-year-old friend.
Still drives sharp as a tack.
Wow.
97. Incredible.
Listen, I'm working from home to going to mom's after.
Missed my dad.
15 years.
Yeah.
That's true.
This is great.
You miss the people who were just...
And by the way, you say missing them.
See, Pete says, next line, a great way to think about it.
My dad was a life of the party.
He lived a long life.
So, 89, I'm happy.
That's the way it goes.
Yes!
That's the way it goes.
That's it.
And who's going to miss you?
That's the thing, too.
Who's going to miss you?
What does this mean, missing?
Where do they go?
When you move away from your family, let's say you don't live in the same city they do, there are times, sometimes weeks you go by, you don't talk to them.
You don't miss them.
They're still there.
You can pick up the phone, but you don't.
They're in the other room.
They're in the other state.
They're there.
They were there the whole time, and this isn't meant to imply guilt, but that's the way they are now.
You didn't always see them.
You didn't always.
You know, it's funny.
This is about object permanence.
This is Piaget.
This is what kids go through.
This is this thing that people do not understand.
The kids don't understand this.
That's why peekaboo is so important.
Peekaboo.
See?
I'm still here.
Just because you can't see me doesn't mean I'm not here.
It's just...
I think about that.
You should see, though, today, oh my God, the worst.
The worst is when you're plant-based.
I don't use the V word.
I hate vegans.
Oh, they're the worst.
You should see what we do.
We're going over this place.
We're bringing our own stuff.
What?
We're bringing it.
Don't worry about it.
We're bringing it.
You're what?
We're bringing it.
We're bringing the stuff.
You're bringing your own food?
Yep.
Just warm it up.
You got nothing to worry about.
We may pick some of your things because it's the worst.
Can you have fish?
Yes, I can have it.
There's no police.
I don't want fish.
That's good for you.
Oh, Jesus.
We've got to go through that again.
Can you have chicken?
Here we go.
These are college educated people.
You don't eat fish.
Isn't that good for you?
Can you have...
What about cake?
Ice cream?
They don't know anything.
Oh, it's milk.
What?
So we just say, no problem.
Here's our stuff.
Where's your microwave?
We're fine.
That's it.
But if you're a Jew or a Muslim, hey, no problem.
No, no, no, no.
Don't even explain it.
Hide the bacon.
Get rid of it.
Don't rid of it.
Oh, my God.
It's just one of those.
Can you have lobster?
No!
Now, can you have it?
I can.
My friend, you'd love him.
He's the best.
My best buddy.
Talks like this.
How are you?
If you hear him, you think he's kidding you.
You'll think, no, no, no.
Nobody's out there.
How you doing?
Not for nothing.
What are you talking about?
He's like Fred Flintstone meets whatever.
So one day I tried to explain, well, and I used that line from Paul McCartney.
Paul McCartney says, I don't eat anything with a face.
Okay.
So I told him he looked at me.
So later on I got a call from a while back.
He said, clams!
I said, what?
Who is this?
Clams!
Clams!
Clams don't have a face.
I said, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, you're right.
It's the strangest thing.
Can you imagine if gay people went through this?
Let me get this straight.
What you're saying is, can you have a woman?
What?
Yeah, I can.
But you don't want to.
What?
What?
You what?
Recovering alcoholics.
Can you have a beer?
I don't want a beer.
Can you have wine?
Nobody does this.
I give up smoking.
Can you have a cigar?
What about a filterless cigarette?
Will that matter?
It's the strangest thing I've ever seen.
That's it.
So anyway, here we are this morning.
You're going to watch the parade.
Oh my God.
Oh, I love a parade.
Anwar Sadat.
Never said that.
Never sang that song.
Poor Anwar.
Got it.
Remember who was responsible for that?
Zawahiri.
Who supposedly or supposedly is dead.
Okay?
That's what they say.
You buying that?
You buying that?
Someone says...
I recall when I didn't closely, personally know anyone that passed.
Now it seems almost everyone I know has passed.
Many have suddenly died.
Oh, I know.
Suddenly died recently.
Oh, I'm with you.
I love that past.
He passed.
He passed.
Oh, he passed.
He passed.
Where'd he pass?
He passed what?
Passed gas?
He passed life.
He passed?
past.
Se murió.
Te jodiste.
Que sea la mama.
*bark*
Really?
He passed?
Yeah.
He passed, huh?
I think one of the most stupid things in the world, I swear to God, and I always honor people who say, we're going to go to the cemetery.
Okay.
You will never see me in a cemetery.
You'll never, you'll never, they'll never be.
Any cemetery to go.
Where is it, Lot 4?
Oh, there it is.
He's over there.
No, he's not over there.
No, he's over there.
Oh, look.
The flowers tilted over.
Oh.
Don't they clean this up?
I've got a deed.
A deed for what?
For the grave.
Why?
No, so they'll always be there.
Why?
I don't know.
It's just, you know, it's tradition, I guess.
It's the stupidest thing I've ever seen in my life.
The name...
This is me now.
This is not you.
Everybody's entitled to do whatever you want to do.
I don't care what you do.
It's the most ridiculous thing in the world.
Now let's talk about some good stuff, okay?
Including you, Solak.
You and...
We got Raul Rodriguez, if that's your real name.
We got Lillian McClellan.
We got Demander-in-Chief, get it?
You got Kevin?
What's the worst Thanksgiving meal, dish, that people show up with?
What's the worst?
Where you say to yourself, oh dear God, no.
I've got the only, I mean, I've got my vote, which goes without saying.
And I've said this a million times, and I will say this again.
That is somebody who years ago said, I'm going to take gelatin and I'm going to put little specks of marshmallow or stuff inside.
It's like a version of the fruitcake, sort of.
And I'm going to give you this jello ball, this mold, M-O-U-L-D.
And I'm going to put this thing together.
And it's going to be this mass.
This gelatin.
By the way, gelatin.
Here we go.
Here we go.
Keeping track at home.
Some people are really into this.
Gelatin is made from cattle and bones and all of this stuff.
You know, whatever.
Whatever.
So gelatin is so good.
Do you know that in some cases, too, people go nuts with the fact that Gelatin.
Capsules.
Capsules.
Like, you know, for pills?
You know, you can say, I've got some vegan marine algae versus fish oil.
Yeah, but it's in a capsule.
You know, people sometimes, they don't want honey.
They don't want honey not because bees work, but because they kill the bees.
Which, I didn't know this.
Okay, that's a good one.
Silk.
Silkworms.
Okay, now listen.
There comes a point where we're going to say, alright, let's stop this.
My thing is completely health-oriented.
But anyway, let's talk about this.
Jell-O with lettuce in it.
Stop right there.
Stop right there.
Wait a minute.
Green bean casserole.
Now that can be pretty good.
That's from Tahuya.
Swanson TV Salisbury steak.
You know what?
TV dinners in the old days?
Jell-O with lettuce in it.
Dear God!
I don't think I've ever seen that.
Fake F that pink potato salad.
Oh my Lord!
Notice how he uses the F word and Lord in the same sentence.
Very good.
Liz Solak says, we were kids, my little brother was about five, and so instantly said, I don't want any of those eyeballs talking about the pearl onions.
You know what?
You're right about that.
Cranberry relish.
Okay.
Jell-O made with vodka is worth a try.
You know what?
There you go.
I don't like the pineapple in Jell-O.
Jell-O and beets.
Who comes up with this?
Who?
Ugh.
And by the way, and there's just this, now I don't know about you, but to me, to me, I think the sides are like the most, are the most fun.
Always have been.
I used to think, in my day, the Crescent Roll, the Pillsbury Crescent Rolls, with whipped butter, we always had whipped butter on a special occasion.
You didn't have that normally.
Whipped, it's a whipped butter.
And to take one of these hot crescent rolls and take about a tablespoon of butter on each one, oh my god, wonderful.
Just wonderful.
Now, here's one for you.
And this is a very interesting thing.
Very interesting as well, as far as I'm concerned.
Cake and pie.
Now, I don't know where this came from.
A pie?
Never been a pie person.
Never cared.
Never.
Even quiche.
But...
If you say, hey, guess what?
For Thanksgiving, I got a nice chocolate pie.
I mean, a cake.
What?
What?
Wait a minute.
What?
Cake?
This is Thanksgiving.
This is Thanksgiving.
You don't have cake.
This is the only time even pie was...
And then you get into this pumpkin.
All right.
Apple.
Not really.
No, that's not...
Because you can have apple pie anytime, really.
I don't care about that.
Pumpkin.
Okay.
Then you get into this sweet potato.
Okay, now look.
That may be great for some Faulkner novel or something, but I'm not into sweet potato pie.
Rhubarb.
Okay, that's enough.
Take it easy.
To me, it's pumpkin.
That's it.
Blueberry.
Apple is no good because pumpkin is like maybe it's the gourd time of year.
I don't know what it was.
Zeppeli.
Pecan.
Now do you say pecan or pecan?
Then we get into that.
Summer sausage.
There's certain things.
Let me tell you one thing which I used to enjoy years ago.
May I suggest this to you?
Please.
Italian sausage.
Squeeze it out of the casing so it's loose.
Crescent roll.
Pillsbury, you know, you hit the thing and it bursts open.
Those crescent rolls, you take a piece of that, tear a little bit of that off, put the sausage inside, make a ball out of it, put it on a cookie tray, spray it, bake it to, I don't know how long, two minutes, five minutes, whatever the hell it is, until it turns brown.
And inside that little beautiful sphere, pigs in a blanket kind of, but that Italian sausage, I could eat a thousand of these things.
A thousand.
Cannolis are one.
Not cannolis.
Now Italian stuff is different.
Cannolis.
My grandfather used to always bring brazoitano.
Gypsy arm.
It's this kind of a Spanish thing.
Ybor City, you'd buy it.
Every single.
The one thing.
That was it.
Gypsy arm.
Uh.
Now, pumpkin cheesecake, pizza, haggis.
You know, I had haggis one time at a fancy foods thing, and it was wonderful.
Wonderful.
Now, by the way, I forgot.
I've been talking to you now for 20 minutes, and I didn't even mention the promo.
Please, please.
Just give me a second.
I expect to see you on January the 14th.
Tell me you're going to be there.
At the Cutting Room.
We can continue this if you'd like.
Tickets are available.
January 14th, Cutting Room.
I'm telling you right now, plenty of time.
I don't want to hear New York is ready to go.
I'm going to have so much stuff to say.
I don't even know.
I don't even know where.
I don't even know where we'll be by then.
It's going to be each week.
So that's that.
That's number one.
Number two, and this is also important to say, especially today when we're talking about food, but I would be remiss if I didn't tell you that I get scared.
I get scared when I go to stores and I'm looking around thinking, oh my God, because I'm telling you right now, you've got to make sure that you're family and you are prepared for food shortages.
Forget the pie.
Forget, you know, Zeppelis.
We're talking...
Problem.
Emergency times.

That's preparewithlionel.com Now, let me talk to you about some other things.
Anybody got any problem or relatives?
Anybody got any?
Anybody got any relatives?
Anybody?
Anybody got any?
You know what you're going to have to say?
You understand this?
You're going to be talking to somebody who maybe wants to engage you politically.
Or...
We have a friend right now who wears the mask.
He was on his 12th booster.
And now he's sick as a dog today.
And everything he's got is COVID.
Always has COVID.
Whatever it is, it's COVID.
Anybody who sings got COVID, loves COVID, lives for it, is happy to have it.
He loves COVID.
Loves it!
Loves it!
It's the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen in my life.
Well, I took the COVID test.
How do you know?
Well, the doctor said, do you have it?
Was it a PCR test?
Well, so anyway, so you're going to run into those families.
What about Trump?
What about Trump?
Oh my God, what do you do?
What do you do?
How do you handle this?
Remember something.
Listen to me carefully.
You're always going to be meeting somebody who is just...
I'm sorry.
People who are just strange.
Okay?
You always are going to meet somebody who is just strange.
And you're going to meet somebody who's going to be testing you, who's going to be bothering you, who's going to be doing things, who's going to be affecting you.
Drastically.
And here's what you do.
Remember what I'm telling you.
You always talk to them like they're a mental problem.
Like they're a mental case.
Imagine if I said to you, now listen, I want you to meet my relative, my cousin, whatever it is.
He's a little off.
So watch what you say and just be careful.
Now how would you treat them?
That's how you treat others.
That's what you do.
And I don't engage.
Remember these words.
Interesting.
Interesting.
You know what drives people crazy?
To say what they're saying in a way better than they said it.
It drives them nuts.
Yeah, I tell you what, I think this Trump guy is...
I hope to God he's not coming back.
And you can say, because we wouldn't want four more years of that again, would we?
Wait a minute.
You mean that?
It's what you said.
Now I know I said that, but do you mean that?
Well, I don't know.
Four more years of Trump policy?
I don't know if America can take that.
I don't know if America is ready for that.
So I see your point.
You see my point.
Wait a minute.
But do you disagree?
And you just drive him crazy.
You're almost saying like, I understand you're saying that.
It's like when somebody says, I'm afraid of going over a bridge because I'm afraid the bridge is going to fall down.
Well, why?
Why?
Why is that?
Why?
Nobody does this.
You act like...
Interesting.
A lot of people think that.
A lot of people have that concerned.
You're not agreeing with them.
You're not telling them, well, of course, it's a rational way of thinking.
It's a rational thing to think.
No!
You're telling them...
Because I don't know whether you know this or not, but there is no Republican Party.
That's why I'm probably with more people right now than you could possibly imagine.
Because I got news for you.
I tried so hard.
So hard.
I have given up on everything there is.
There was this network called Fox and they used to talk about stuff that was really kind of interesting.
And now it's a bunch of intramural people.
Who hate each other on that other station.
And they're talking about it.
And I don't understand why.
And I have been hearing, this morning I heard, for example, for the millionth time, this Brandy Zadrozny that I would have never, ever listened to.
And others as well.
And I don't know why they're spending so much time telling me.
About people that I wouldn't be listening to.
I don't understand this.
So, I've given up.
So I'm kind of, believe it or not, I'm actually more in line with admiring, not agreeing with, the people who are on the left because they got everything covered.
On the right, well, they don't.
They just talk about stuff.
But that's not what we're going to talk about today.
That's not what we're going to talk about today.
One of the things which is so funny, back to Thanksgiving, is this idea of the turkey.
People think it's such a big deal to make a turkey.
I've made so many turkeys, turkey breast, turkey butter.
It is so easy, it's not even funny.
There's nothing to it.
It's the easiest thing in the world.
It's the easiest thing in the world.
There's nothing...
You can put it upside down.
You can put it...
Stand it up.
That's always good.
Whatever.
It's not a big deal.
So one day years ago, I had one of the best...
I used to do talk radio.
And I love to talk about people who...
It was almost like Jimmy Breslin one time was commissioned to cover the Kennedy assassination.
Or the aftermath, I should say.
And he went and he highlighted this gravedigger.
That's whom he spoke with, this gravedigger.
And it was fascinating.
So one year, we got a hold of the Swift Butterball Ladies.
Have you heard these people?
Did you ever hear that?
They used to have the help line where you would call.
And I thought it was great.
And we got this woman, hello!
You know, she's like...
Sounds like your grandmother.
She was fantastic!
And she was so polite.
I said, so, Doris, we're talking to Doris McCutcheon from the Swift Butterball.
Doris, happy Thanksgiving to you!
Doris, have you got any people loaded out of their mind?
Oh, yes!
She just was great!
Really?
Gassed?
Gooned?
Oh, yes!
Waxed?
Yeah, sure.
Anyway, I'm getting my access confused.
I said, what's some of the worst ones?
He goes, well, a couple of things.
One was, please take your giblets out of the internal cavity of the turkey.
Because they're plastic and they're covered in things.
Please.
Okay?
You got that?
Please.
That's number one.
Number two.
This was the best one.
This was the best.
She says, but the worst one we ever heard was as follows.
This woman was just absolutely meticulous.
She was punctilious as to every aspect of the preparation of this thing you can imagine.
Then she put the turkey in, and everything was fine, and what she did was she slid the thing the wrong way, and she hit the automatic self-cleaning oven.
And she couldn't undo it.
There was no undoing it.
There was no, oops, we made a mistake.
The oven was in the wall, and it was gas, and she was, this thing is going to burn up.
I thought that was good.
And they had to call the people from the company.
I mean, that was a good one.
Because if you notice, when you get a self-cleaning, please be very careful of those things.
They're so toxic.
The smells in your home is like, dear God.
Anyway, that was a good one.
But people will always have, they always have some kind of 1-800-Butterball.
It's still going.
It's fantastic.
There's something just so...
It's so intimidating for people.
I don't know why.
Oh, here's one.
Did you ever have a turducken?
That's...
It sounds good.
This is a chicken inside a duck inside a turkey.
Okay.
When you cut it up, it looks like roadkill.
Because there's dark meat, white meat.
It just looks like...
It looks like a murder scene.
It's not very pleasant.
Tastes okay, but fried turkey is the best.
And they always say that, please do not put this inside.
Inside, have you ever seen somebody, you drop a turkey into this thing and it's frozen?
Oh my God.
It costs about $800 in peanut oil.
Just for the...
That is excellent, by the way.
Smoked turkey is beautiful.
Not barbecue, smoked.
There is nothing like that.
Also, there's a thing called this...
It's called Spanic, I think it is.
We used to have those.
It's like a...
It's a frame where you put the turkey on top of it.
Works beautifully.
And everybody's always got all kinds of advice for all kinds of things.
Especially when it comes to food.
I mentioned before about the...
Emergency food.
People have...
They always think they have some answer to three months...
Let's say three months of no food.
Yeah, MREs are good.
Yeah, that's good.
That'll work.
The whole family will love that.
Oh, we got enough.
I got enough.
Oh, sure, in the garage.
Oh, yeah, three months for each person?
Absolutely.
Sure.
My kids will love, yeah, military-grade SpaghettiOs.
Love it.
Absolutely.
I got a rod and reel.
That's my favorite.
I'll go catch fish.
I'll go to the creek.
There's some fish.
I got some banana chips.
I got that all covered.
We don't need food.
I got banana chips and trout for the rest.
Oh, and military-grade Beanie Weenies.
I'm doing great.
People just...
Love to say...
Look at this.
We have lots of wild turkeys where we live.
They are so adorable.
Couldn't kill or eat one.
Well, if you're going to eat one, it's probably the best.
No antibiotics.
Their diet is perfect.
They eat acorns.
Same thing with venison.
Same thing with venison.
It's very, very, in terms of healthful, lean.
It's not...
Again, I don't do that, but...
It's not processed.
It's not hit with a recombinant bovine, but all of this crap and whatever.
And also, if you see what a real chicken looks like, a real turkey, they don't look like this.
This is unnatural.
It's not good.
But you know what?
Not today.
You have a wonderful day.
Oh, by the way, before I forget, please.
Please.
Do me a favor.
Did you see the latest one, too?
What Mike Lindell's going through?
I gotta tell you this.
Stephen King.
Stephen King.
You know, the author.
He's saying that, yeah, Elon Musk is losing all his advertisers.
The only one left is gonna be that MyPillow guy.
They throw it at him like he's...
He needs your help.
I'm sorry.

Don't go nuts.
Don't let people bait you.
Don't let people bait you.
And remember this, a couple of things.
Whenever somebody says something to you that you think is just out of their mind, just look at them and say, I see.
Or, interesting.
Interesting.
Don't let them draw you into it.
This is your day.
Remember the people that you've lost.
Remember they're with you.
They may not be here in a corporeal sense, but they are in you and they are as real as right there.
Their spirit, their energy.
Also, look at the Max Planck Institute.
Look about life after death.
Not exactly a religious organization, but microtubules on the quantum level.
There's something to this, something that we will never understand.
Not even Neil deGrasse Tyson, that sellout.
There's something there.
There is something far more...
I don't know what it is.
I don't know if we'll ever be able to understand it.
Because we can't see all the colors.
We can't see microscopically.
We think that because we don't experience it, well, it's not there.
We don't see anything.
We don't hear half of what goes on in the world.
Our spectrum is limited.
We can't see ultraviolet.
Infrared.
We don't hear everything.
We can't see small.
We can't see far.
So don't fall prey to this.
You have a wonderful day.
And on behalf of Mrs. L, we want to thank you.
Thank you for your support.
Thank you for being here.
Thank you for your kindness.
Thank you for your society.
And for being who you are.
Happy Thanksgiving!
There she is.
There she is.
We are so grateful for all of you.
Thank you.
Absolutely.
All right, my dear friends.
Have a great time, a great day.
See you tomorrow.
Same bad time, same bad channel.
By the way, eat excessively.
Eat, eat, eat.
Because one of these days, remember, none of this matters.
We're all going to be...
So at least go out with a smile.
Have a good day.
See you tomorrow.
We love you.
Same bad time, same bad channel.
9 a.m. Eastern Time.
Until then, the monkey's dead.
The show's over.
Sue ya.
