WEBVTT 00:00:00.079 --> 00:00:02.008 Speaking of warm, it's warm in Arizona. The 00:00:02.019 --> 00:00:05.139 Diamondbacks made a trade on this Wednesday the day before 00:00:05.150 --> 00:00:09.679 Thanksgiving acquiring a Eugenio Suarez from the Mariners for relief 00:00:09.689 --> 00:00:15.800 pitcher, Carlos and catcher. I've been looking for 00:00:15.810 --> 00:00:18.500 an everyday third baseman. Uh We feel like this 00:00:18.510 --> 00:00:21.208 is a guy that adds a power element, good 00:00:21.219 --> 00:00:25.519 defender, um, everyday player to position that as 00:00:25.530 --> 00:00:27.750 , you know, we've been platooning for a few 00:00:27.760 --> 00:00:29.760 years now. I think it adds a little stability 00:00:29.769 --> 00:00:34.598 to that spot. Um, and an incredible clubhouse 00:00:34.609 --> 00:00:37.798 guy. Obviously, we lost some of our really 00:00:37.810 --> 00:00:40.950 good clubhouse guys at this point, um, after 00:00:40.959 --> 00:00:45.219 the season via free agency. Um And we feel 00:00:45.228 --> 00:00:48.500 like he's gonna step in, into, into part 00:00:48.509 --> 00:00:51.819 of step into that role. Um But, you 00:00:51.829 --> 00:00:53.868 know, it's, it's, uh, this is 00:00:53.880 --> 00:00:55.759 somebody we'd like for a long time and we feel 00:00:55.770 --> 00:00:57.668 like it's a, it's a natural fit given what 00:00:57.679 --> 00:00:59.679 our team's looking for, uh, started the GM 00:00:59.689 --> 00:01:00.939 meeting. So that was the first conversation I had 00:01:00.950 --> 00:01:03.719 with Jerry. We sort of watched him. Our 00:01:03.728 --> 00:01:07.888 scout said that he really worked hard this season on 00:01:07.900 --> 00:01:11.829 his defense. Um That's gonna be something we're gonna 00:01:11.838 --> 00:01:14.709 continue to push uh, as you know, that's 00:01:14.719 --> 00:01:17.230 an area of our team that we pride ourselves on 00:01:17.239 --> 00:01:19.819 and we'll definitely continue to pride ourselves on and everything 00:01:19.829 --> 00:01:23.370 we gathered from his work ethic and commitment to being 00:01:23.379 --> 00:01:25.909 a really good defender, really good player. Uh 00:01:25.918 --> 00:01:27.540 I think he's gonna fit in nicely with how we 00:01:27.549 --> 00:01:32.579 , uh how we approach him. Tim Anderson has 00:01:32.588 --> 00:01:37.099 returned back to his high school in Tuscaloosa, Alabama 00:01:37.138 --> 00:01:40.939 at Hillcrest High School to once again, give back 00:01:40.948 --> 00:01:45.299 handing out Turkeys to families who could use the help 00:01:45.308 --> 00:01:49.153 prior to this Thanksgiving holiday. And it's a pleasure 00:01:49.165 --> 00:01:51.174 to be joined by the two time all star and 00:01:51.183 --> 00:01:53.433 former American League batting camp. Tim.

There's a 00:02:43.849 --> 00:02:46.719 text feature that's available and for the last 20 plus 00:02:46.729 --> 00:02:50.409 years, Nicole Johnson has been the ruler of the 00:02:50.419 --> 00:02:53.528 roost. No pun intended, the director of the 00:02:53.538 --> 00:02:54.860 Butterball Turkey Talk line, the two birds that you've 00:02:54.868 --> 00:02:58.419 got in front of you. Uh One prepared and 00:02:58.429 --> 00:03:00.080 ready to roll the other one in the early stages 00:03:00.088 --> 00:03:04.008 of preparation. How, how much do those weigh 00:03:04.020 --> 00:03:06.038 ? And how long would you cook a bird that 00:03:06.050 --> 00:03:09.118 big? These are aboutÂŁ16 turkeys. And when 00:03:09.129 --> 00:03:12.360 a caller, caller will ask us, how long 00:03:12.368 --> 00:03:14.788 do I cook my turkey for? There's many ways 00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:16.939 that we're trained on as you can imagine. But 00:03:16.949 --> 00:03:19.740 the number one try, the true method is a 00:03:19.750 --> 00:03:23.020 325 oven from start to finish your pan around 2.5 00:03:23.028 --> 00:03:25.699 to 3 inches deep like we have here if you 00:03:25.710 --> 00:03:28.819 have a flat rack or even a V rack to 00:03:28.830 --> 00:03:30.788 help elevate the turkey up off the pan that allows 00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:34.538 for that nice hot circulating air. And then we're 00:03:34.550 --> 00:03:36.830 gonna ask the caller if you're gonna stop your turkey 00:03:36.838 --> 00:03:38.399 or not, right? Because you're gonna need to 00:03:38.409 --> 00:03:40.270 have increased cook times if you stuff your turkey. 00:03:40.449 --> 00:03:43.979 Now, I hope you guys remember from years ago 00:03:43.990 --> 00:03:45.919 , who do I always say is your best friend 00:03:45.929 --> 00:03:47.569 on Thanksgiving Day? And that's your meat thermometer? 00:03:47.580 --> 00:03:50.758 Yes. It's truly the best way to check for 00:03:50.770 --> 00:03:53.399 doneness. It's gonna register 180 in the thigh and 00:03:53.409 --> 00:03:55.939 170 in the breast. And that's for best eating 00:03:55.949 --> 00:04:00.020 quality. That's good info right there. That's incredible 00:04:00.558 --> 00:04:01.558 . 180. We're getting deep, man. That 00:04:01.569 --> 00:04:03.819 the thermometer is your best friend all year long. 00:04:03.830 --> 00:04:06.129 Hello, Nicole, Uncle Kevin here. So I'm 00:04:06.139 --> 00:04:10.338 gonna fry two turkeys this Thanksgiving for the first time 00:04:10.679 --> 00:04:14.008 and I heard that the peanut oil is very explosive 00:04:14.020 --> 00:04:16.238 and not to put wet turkeys in the peanut oil 00:04:16.250 --> 00:04:18.220 . So I have to dry the turkey. I 00:04:18.230 --> 00:04:21.009 heard or some fire will happen. I ask you 00:04:21.019 --> 00:04:25.100 this. How do you fry a turkey without blowing 00:04:25.108 --> 00:04:29.850 up my ranch back to you? That's a great 00:04:29.858 --> 00:04:30.528 question. We do get a lot of deep fried 00:04:30.540 --> 00:04:33.579 uh cooking questions. Number one is you want to 00:04:33.588 --> 00:04:36.858 remember um, it from a food safety standpoint. 00:04:36.869 --> 00:04:39.428 You do want to make sure your turkey is fully 00:04:39.439 --> 00:04:42.079 dried that you had that unit outdoors. It can 00:04:42.088 --> 00:04:44.709 take anywhere from 45 to 90 minutes to heat up 00:04:44.720 --> 00:04:46.295 that oil. Peanut oil because of the higher smoke 00:04:46.303 --> 00:04:49.634 points is the best recommended oil. It's, it's 00:04:49.644 --> 00:04:53.403 a quicker cook method. 3.5 to 4 minutes per 00:04:53.415 --> 00:04:56.153 pound, but always use your meat thermometer with any 00:04:56.165 --> 00:04:58.454 cook method to check for doneness. We wish you 00:04:58.463 --> 00:05:00.975 and your family a happy Thanksgiving and thanks as always 00:05:00.983 --> 00:05:04.059 for taking some time with us for more on these 00:05:04.069 --> 00:05:06.759 and other stories.
