[Lydia Ryan]: Hi, this is Lydia Ryan from the Mustang Report and I'm here with the Stang. And today we're going to be asking him a few questions just about what he does daily at the high school. What sporting events are your favorite to go to?
[SPEAKER_02]: I'd say ones that are close quarters, indoors, because everybody's really close together and it's fun to get everybody pumped up.
[Lydia Ryan]: And what are your methods to getting the crowd pumped up?
[SPEAKER_02]: Loud. And that's it.
[Lydia Ryan]: Just being loud? Yeah. All right. What was the biggest event that you've been to this year?
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't really know. There's a lot of them that I've been to.
[Lydia Ryan]: Do you try to go regularly to each event?
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I try. It's kind of difficult.
[Lydia Ryan]: How is the crowd when you don't make it to an event?
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm sure they have as much spirit as they always do. Are you sure about that? I mean, I'd hope.
[Lydia Ryan]: Thank you for the inspiring advice, and this is Lydia Ryan signing off.
[Cariann Lacharis]: Hi, I'm Cariann Lacharis, and I'm here with the Mustang Report. I'm here with Mr. Maloney, and we're just going to ask you a few questions on how the fall sports season went. How do you think the outcome was?
[Robert Maloney]: We had a pretty successful fall. Again, our kids worked very hard. We were fortunate with some great facilities. We had the girls soccer team win the GBL championship. The girls volleyball won the GBL championship. Golf also won the GBL championship. Football made the tournament for the first time since the new MIA existence. And the boys soccer also went to the state tournament and did very well. So we're very happy with the outcome. We've had great support from the band and the cheerleaders as well.
[Cariann Lacharis]: I understand a lot of the teams are going into the new conference. How do you think that's going to affect the outcome in the sports team's record?
[Robert Maloney]: It's going to be a challenge. We're finally going to have a league to call home. The Northeast Conference will be starting in the spring of 2017. There's 16 teams, so it's going to be very competitive. Our coaches and our kids are going to have to work very hard to stay at a competitive level.
[Cariann Lacharis]: How do you think the outcome of the Thanksgiving football game is going to turn out this year? Do you think we're finally going to beat Malden?
[Robert Maloney]: Yeah, we won over there two years ago, so we're looking to do it again. This is the 129th, so the boys will be ready. Coach Nassimento and his staff have done a great job with the kids. They've been very competitive. They're putting a lot of points up. So we're hoping we go over to W. Do you think you could predict the score? I'm going to say we're going to beat Marlin 42 to 28.
[Lydia Ryan]: We'll hold you to that. Hi, this is Lydia Ryan reporting with the Mustang News and I'm here today with Mr. Nass to talk about Thanksgiving. So, what are you doing for Thanksgiving?
[Jason Nascimento]: Well, I mean we have the big game in the morning and then hopefully after a big win I will be going home and we are actually going to host Thanksgiving this year for the first time.
[Lydia Ryan]: So cool. So what are you looking forward to most? Is it the football game or eating with your family?
[Jason Nascimento]: The football game is a big, big part of our Thanksgiving tradition, and it's one of my favorite parts of the day. But honestly, just getting everyone together, especially at our new house, will be exciting, and that's my favorite part.
[Lydia Ryan]: So what does your family typically eat on Thanksgiving?
[Jason Nascimento]: You know, I mean, we got the turkey, which is pretty standard on Thanksgiving. And then just a bunch of those usual sides that we got. I mean, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce. Um, you know, gravy, all that sort of stuff. This is, you know, we're in the middle of a Thanksgiving interview here. That's fine. Okay. So he can, he can actually, you can probably interview him as well on this, right? At the same time, get him out of the way. Um, but you know, one of my favorite things is, you know, we got to have pumpkin pie. That's, it's, it's delicious.
[SPEAKER_19]: So you might have to zoom out a little bit so that you get all of us in this picture. Right.
[Lydia Ryan]: All right. So question for both of you, is it called sauce or gravy?
[Jason Nascimento]: That's a, that's a, that tends to be a huge debate. Uh, not with my family. I mean, um, but with, with a lot of people that are, you know, that are out there, I'll get down in the frame for you. Thanks. Um, to me, I'm cool with gravy. I mean, I've always called it gravy. I'm, I don't know.
[SPEAKER_19]: We talking like red sauce that goes on pasta, turkey. That's gravy.
[Lydia Ryan]: So we can both agree it's gravy. And what is your favorite dessert?
[Jason Nascimento]: That's tough. There's a lot. There's a lot out there. I think pumpkin pie, though. It's unbelievable, and it's a must-have.
[SPEAKER_19]: Not a huge pumpkin pie fan. I used to be... But then I realized that it's not really my thing. Very boring guy, go for some apple pie. Sometimes, who knows, maybe some pumpkin roll, but not pumpkin pie.
[Jason Nascimento]: It's questionable, but everyone's entitled to their own opinion, I guess.
[Lydia Ryan]: So for sides, is it mashed potatoes or stuffing? Which is your favorite?
[Jason Nascimento]: 100% stuffing. No.
[SPEAKER_19]: No, it's a giant pile of mashed potatoes. You take all the vegetables, you throw it all in there, throw some gravy on top, and just eat it with a spoon. Don't even use a fork.
[Lydia Ryan]: And do you both eat the turkey, or would you rather something like ham?
[Jason Nascimento]: Turkey. Turkey every time. Ham's great, but if I had to choose, I'm taking turkey.
[Lydia Ryan]: Okay, and for our last question, can you do your best imitation of a turkey?
[Jason Nascimento]: Best imitation of a turkey. Wow, this is going to be great. Yeah, I guess, right? Gobble, gobble, gobble.
[Lydia Ryan]: I know you can do better than that.
[SPEAKER_19]: That's all I got.
[Lydia Ryan]: Nothing? Can you top that?
[SPEAKER_19]: No, I can't top that. It's just gobble, gobble. The real turkeys don't even do that. I see them every morning on my drive to work. They just stand in the middle of the road.
[Lydia Ryan]: What noise do they make?
[SPEAKER_19]: I don't put my window down because they're aggressive birds. I don't want them to attack me or peck my eyes out. They're tall. I mean, they could poke in the window. Nah, I'm all set.
[Jason Nascimento]: I saw a turkey attack an SUV today.
[Lydia Ryan]: Where?
[Jason Nascimento]: Highland Ave in Winchester. I see it every morning. They attacked my uncle the other time. They're aggressive creatures. They're very territorial.
[Lydia Ryan]: All right, Aaron, I wish you both luck on your football game on Thanksgiving, and I hope you have a great turnout. Thank you for the interview. City of Ryan, signing off.
[SPEAKER_09]: So, Mrs. Dorsey, what's your favorite dessert for Thanksgiving?
[D'Orsi]: Well, my favorite dessert for Thanksgiving is a lot of the typical ones that you will see on every Thanksgiving table. I love apple pie. I love pumpkin pie. My family's favorite is chocolate cream pie. and banana coconut custard pie. What's your favorite dessert?
[SPEAKER_02]: My favorite dessert on Thanksgiving would have to be apple pie.
[SPEAKER_12]: What are you doing this Thanksgiving? I'm going over my in-laws for Thanksgiving. I love turkey and we're going to try to make a turkey together and I'll bring some goodies.
[SPEAKER_01]: We celebrate three cultures that day. The American traditions along with the Italian because my husband is Italian and if I don't have pasta everyone will be a small revolution in the house. And, of course, the Puerto Rican tradition. So I have the bearnia, which is the pork, and I make the rice and all the trimmings. And then friends stop in for dessert. So it's usually a long night, but it's wonderful. It's a great time.
[SPEAKER_13]: Hello, this is DP reporting here with Ms. LeClaire. So, Ms. LeClaire, what are your plans for Thanksgiving?
[Burke]: I am going to spend it with my sister and my whole family. We're going to eat lots of turkey and stuff it.
[SPEAKER_13]: Wonderful. And we have just a quick question for you. Do you call it sauce or gravy? Oh, I'm a gravy person. I agree with you on that one. And last question is do you like chicken or turkey better? There's a difference? Like in general? Turkey? Good answer. This is DP here with Miss LeClaire. Thank you, Miss LeClaire.
[SPEAKER_09]: do you know or do you help out your mom when she's like cooking or like your dad or just your family members?
[SPEAKER_13]: I usually help out my mom and my grandmother when they're like cooking the turkey. I usually help them make an apple pie. That's that's all I do usually.
[SPEAKER_09]: Do you know what time they put in the turkey in the morning?
[SPEAKER_13]: My grandmother usually, and my mom usually wake up around like 6.30 to put it in, because we usually eat early. We don't do dinner, we do lunch.
[SPEAKER_09]: That's a good idea. We're going to move over here to Dora. Do you usually help out, or do you just sit back and just wait for the food to be ready?
[Dora]: As much as I would love to sit back, my mother would not allow that, so I help her out in the kitchen, help my dad start a fire sometimes. So how long does the food last? Not very long. There are leftovers for the week's lunches, but with my brother in the house it doesn't last very long. So Nick, it's your turn.
[SPEAKER_09]: What do you like to eat the most?
[Nick Kenison]: Um, I'm a big turkey guy myself. I like turkey. But every year we do not only just like the Thanksgiving dinner at my family. We also do a Thanksgiving lunch where like, we're also all Italian. So my uncle makes like a huge batch of like raviolis and like a lasagna. And so that's probably my favorite meal of the of the year because he he gets it from this place Anna's in Medford. And they're literally to die for.
[SPEAKER_09]: What about dessert?
[Nick Kenison]: Desserts, we do kind of the same idea, but my great-grandmother, who's 98 years old, is super talented with making pies. She makes like eight different pies every single Thanksgiving. She makes pumpkin pie, apple custard pie, or something like that, and then your traditional apple pie. And then she makes this one with whipped cream and some other stuff. I don't really eat the pies too much, but that's what we do for dessert.
[SPEAKER_09]: Do you help out like cooking or picking up the dishes?
[SPEAKER_03]: No, I like to sit down, wait for the food and then afterwards I take a nap and then afterwards I do help clean up the dishes afterwards though, yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: So I know my family, they're like huge like football like maniacs. Do you guys usually like watch any sports or?
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, usually it would be my grandpa and my brother and I and we'll be on the couch and they'll be watching it and I'll be kind of you know falling asleep, yeah.
[Nick Kenison]: Hi, this is Nick Kenison with the Mustang Report, and I'm here with Miss Timmons, a substitute at Medford High School. Miss Timmons, what do you do for Thanksgiving?
[Perry]: We usually have people over to our house. My mom does the turkey. It's a good time.
[Nick Kenison]: What is your favorite meal, or what's your favorite food item as far as Thanksgiving goes?
[Perry]: That'd have to be the stuffing. I go wild for it. Or brie mashed potatoes. Real good.
[Nick Kenison]: What are brie mashed potatoes?
[Perry]: Mashed potatoes with brie cheese in them.
[Nick Kenison]: Oh, makes sense, okay. What is your favorite Thanksgiving dessert, or if you do any?
[Perry]: I make a mean pecan pie. I like to eat, yeah.
[Nick Kenison]: Pecan pie is pretty tasty. And lastly, I'm not sure if you're following football, but what is your prediction for the Medford versus Malden Thanksgiving Day football game?
[SPEAKER_09]: Gonna do great!
[Nick Kenison]: Thank you, Mrs. Timmons. This has been Nick Hennessey with the Mustang Report, and back to you. Mr. X, what are your plans for this year's Thanksgiving? Well, like every Thanksgiving, we stay at my grandma's and she just cooks us a meal and we have a good time. Next question is, you're participating in the Mustang Movember contest. Who do you think is going to win this year?
[4D0eqMvSYMA_SPEAKER_14]: Well, looking at the jars, it looks like Mr. Drowski has a commanding lead over many of the other participants, so I'm going to go with him. Mr. Drowski. And what is your favorite Thanksgiving food item?
[SPEAKER_19]: Has to be turkey. Has to be turkey. White meat, though. I don't like dark meat. Happy Thanksgiving!
[Bill Honeycutt]: I want to welcome you to John Brewer's Tavern. My name is Bill Honeycutt. I'm the owner of the restaurant. This is our ninth annual football lunch. We're happy to have both teams here. I just want to wish you luck on Thursday, but more importantly, a happy Thanksgiving. We are lucky enough to have the two mayors, the mayor of Medford, Stephanie Berg, and the mayor of Malden, Gary Christensen, here today.
[Gary Christensen]: Good morning and good afternoon everyone. I'm Gary Christensen, Mayor of the City of Malden and I'm here just to really say, you know, good luck and thank you for being the caliber of students that I've been able to get to know over the past couple of years. For the past several months, everybody's been talking about, geez, what's the future of our country after the presidential election? And I tell anybody, listen, based on my getting to know all of you, I really feel good about where we're going. So again, good luck and happy Thanksgiving to you all.
[Burke]: Thank you all for being here today and thanks to Billy Honeycutt, our favorite alumni for hosting us today. I graduated with this guy and his wife Sue. So even though we're not on the Malden line, we're really in Medford, the heart of Medford here. But I want to wish you all a great Thanksgiving Day. Good luck out on the field. we'd want to bring the trophy home, but you know, it's more to be good sportsmen on that day. So it's all about that and camaraderie. You look around the room, you see what Malden and Metro have made of, and we're a great two cities. We've got a great history, second oldest rivalry, contiguous rivalry going on here. So keep it going, represent your cities well, and I look forward to seeing y'all more in the very near future, probably tomorrow at the Metropolitan. We'll be out there at the big event, the big event tomorrow. So go get them, have fun, and enjoy your Thanksgiving holidays. We also have our superintendent, Roy Bilson.
[4D0eqMvSYMA_SPEAKER_14]: So, congratulations to both teams. I know you're gonna have a great day on Thursday. You're holding together a great tradition, not only on football, but two communities that work together, that work hard to help our young people grow and develop and have a good future. I know that each of you has your own aspirations as to what you wanna be when you grow up, when you get older and you go into the workforce and the like, but you're a part of something you'll never forget. This Thursday will be a big year, big day for you. You'll always have this in your mind. So get out there, have a great competition. I'm sure that you'll do well on the field and let's hope for a really great game so that you can all remember it. Good luck.
