Re: "Please donโ€™t put a frozen turkey in a deep fryer unless you really want to burn down your house"

Erick is not kidding, and it's not hyperbole!

Thank you for the recipes!

I've used Erick's recipe for onion gravy. It's very good.... almost as good as mine! ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜

Morning Erick. About your next โ€œnot for radio showโ€, is it going to be basically the same show?? We were delighted to be at the first one and would love to see you again but if itโ€™s the same one, we can give someone else the opportunity. Love your program! Thanks for everything you do!

A lot of it will be the same, but I was asked to add in more political stories instead of personal stories.

Eric, for Your Turkey day, our favorite inflation fighter, Inglesโ€,is selling turkeys for 37 cents a pound in Blairsville!

This is wonderful, thank you Erick! It is obvious how much you love this. I do think the Dairy Board needs you as their spokesman, perhaps also Krispy Kreme. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Ah, north of Atlanta. Now I can go. Thank you, Erick. I appreciate you are willing to listen to feedback and adjust. That's the mark of a great man. Keep at it. Also, thank you for the Thanksgiving guide and turkey reminder. Have a great holiday, sir. Be safe Radioman.

Kudos to you Erick.

Iโ€™m afraid I have to interject because of something happening at the cdc. Which has changed its wording on vaccines and autism.

I completely disagree with the implication that vaccines might cause autism. Decades of rigorous research involving millions of children across the world have shown no causal connection between childhood vaccines and autism. The original study that sparked this myth was proven fraudulent, retracted, and its author was stripped of his medical license. Major medical organizationsโ€”including the American Academy of Pediatricsโ€”state unequivocally that vaccines do not cause autism. The CDCโ€™s updated phrasing creates unnecessary confusion by implying uncertainty where none exists, and it risks undermining public confidence in life-saving vaccines.

And letโ€™s be honest: this sudden shift in language feels like a political ripple effect from RFK Jr., who has built an entire identity around anti-vaccine misinformation. He has pushed the false vaccineโ€“autism narrative for years, and now weโ€™re seeing agencies tiptoe around language that was already backed by decades of science. If this change was made to appease RFK Jr. or to soften the ground for his talking points, thatโ€™s unacceptable. And Iโ€™ll say this plainly: if I find out Donald Trump had any involvement in approving or supporting this kind of messaging, he would lose my support on the spot. Iโ€™m not joking. Public health isnโ€™t a political toy, and I wonโ€™t back any candidateโ€”Republican or otherwiseโ€”who entertains anti-vax rhetoric or panders to conspiracy theorists at the expense of scientific truth.

Every republican needs to come forward and say NO. NO NO and double no.

I have real and serious concerns with what is happening and the reporting on it makes clear RFK is behind it.

The problem, at least with me, is that I donโ€™t trust the government to tell me and my family what vaccines I need to put in my body. I completely lost that confidence during Covid. I donโ€™t think Iโ€™ll EVER take another vaccine the rest of my life and I encourage my children to avoid unnecessary vaccines for them and my grandchildren. Big Pharma has their hands in everything pushing this stuff, including with the AAP. My storyโ€ฆI dutifully took their COVID vaccine and booster. My serious autoimmune disease is now raging and has been for some time. Taking Rituxan infusions so hopefully we will get back to normal. Iโ€™m certainly willing for there to be studies to find out for certain whether this cocktail of vaccines they give these kids are causing autismโ€ฆbecause good lord, something is.

I am surprised at your strong position on this Chaz, as this has barely been a blip on the radar in conservative media (perhaps you or someone in your family works at the CDC?).

I think the simple explanation is that of course this came at the direction of RFK Jr. and was one of many foreseeable consequences of appointing the guy to run HHS. Trump's role in this is probably a mix of apathy or genuine belief in the conspiracy (he has shown himself to be quite the vocal proponent of many a conspiracy). I'd still go with apathy because Trump seems to prioritize loyalty over competence or even sanity. What kind of comically bazaar shenanigans would be going on right now above and beyond the current circus at DoJ had Trump's first choice, Gaetz, gotten through?

Again just surprised you aren't minimizing this or whatabouting it with some Kammala insanity to defend it.

There's a comically bizarre circus going on right now at the DoJ...

Blair's avatar

Good point Paul, but I still think Gaetz would have made it even worse...

Happy turkey day all! Iโ€™ll be on a cruise with my grandkids, their first one! Donโ€™t think Iโ€™ll have internet service. Iโ€™ll save recipes though, thanks Erick. Iโ€™d love to attend one of your live shows,how about coming to Florida?๐Ÿฆƒ

Thanks much for sharing! Iโ€™ve used the same recipes for a 100 years (well, since Iโ€™m only 65 thatโ€™s a slight exaggeration:), but Iโ€™m seriously considering trying your gravy recipe if my chef son isnโ€™t here making his own concoction. Iโ€™ll have to peruse the remainder and come up with a plan.

I'm not known for my culinary expertise and have to have GF but unless you have gallbladder issues (butter) this is an amazing gravy! I'm still trying to GF some of his others (why can't Krispy creme make GF donuts lol)

JKK's avatar
