We chatted about if we have an "Uncle Marvin" in our families:

Todd talks about how his Dad was kind of like Uncle Marvin in regards to his Mom's side of the family....but it wasn't because how his Dad acted, more about how his Mom's family treated his Dad.

Taras said his Uncle Marvin is "Uncle Vic".  He said Vic seemed like he was always trying to make sure everyone knew he had more "stuff" than everyone else.  Taras says Uncle Vic is still like this today....

 

Todd mentions that the DeLorean Motor Company is not far from him in Houston (Humble) Texas

Supplies parts to DeLoreans  BUT now you can get a DMCev.  An All electric DMC that runs 70-100 miles per charge at 2c per mile.  The DMCev costs around $90k-$100k

Todd and Taras talk more about Thanksgiving dinner...where they usually eat the meal at ans Taras dropped the bombshell that He Dorsn't Eat a Thanksgiving Meal Anymore....WTH?!?!?  What's wrong with him, right???

Where as Todd has something he calls "Thanksgiving #2" every year around April.  It's exactly what is sounds like.  A full on 2nd Thanksgiving every year..cuz if it's sooo damn good, why only do it once???

 

The DeLorean family vs Adam F. Goldberg:

We said we'd link the spasm John DeLorean's daughter had after she watched this episode.....the scene was where Pop's told Marvin about how he watched the news and the DeLorean Motor Company was shut down...

THAT SCENE caused a BIG UPROAR from John DeLorean’s daughter Kathryn DeLorean Seymour from this episode’s reference to the “situation” John DeLorean got in with the FBI
