Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade

Uh, and by the way, we will be meeting the cast folks, uh, on, uh, Thanksgiving Day.

If you tune into Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade-

Mm

... uh, all these kids are gonna be riding a float.

And by the way, we will be meeting the cast, folks, on Thanksgiving Day.

If you tune into Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, all these kids are going to be riding afloat.

And For me, I guess what I find intriguing about this, again, with the Warner Brothers world Abu Dhabi, is what are the folks in the corner suite there thinking? Right.

Is the smart play here to lean into the eight previous films because that's what the public knows and loves? Or for the future of this franchise, is it a smarter play to have these new lands, Diagon Alley, Hogwarts Castle, and the Forbidden Forest, embrace this? the version of these spaces that we'll come to know with the Harry Potter series, again, debuting in late December over on HBO.

But when I would go back to visit him, I mean, he would tell me stories and basically he was, his main dues were to kind of cruise, you know, like Central Park and make sure, you know, breakup activities, like the ones that he used to be involved with when he was a teenager in the parks up in up in the Bronx, so if people were having sex or doing drugs in the bushes or anything like that, Michael would kind of break them up and make sure the parks were safe.

But he was also helping out with security for things like the Macy's Day Parade or MTV events, and he got to interact with a lot of celebrities, and that was fun for him to do as well.

And when I would go back and visit him, he would, you know, take me along to, you know, do some of his desk duties.

And, you know, I would, you know, wait for him while he was doing some paperwork and things there.

yes

all over the world like um And I have a few friends that were Rangerettes and Yeah, they perform at the Macy's Day Parade every year.

Oh, wow.

They perform at the White House.

So one thing that happened was there was an announcement for the Marching Chiefs, the band.

They're getting sent to play in the Macy's Day Parade.

Nice.

And Mike Norvell made the announcement.

Feels like things are mounting there.

I saw that they were booing him when he came on the screen to say some message, wishing the band good luck at the Macy's Day Parade, and they booed him on the screen.

Yeah.

It's gotten a little toxic there, and that's a proud program that has a lot of tradition and has high expectations, and right now they're not living up to it.

They played a, an announcement on the video board during, uh, the game, uh, with FSU's band.

There was an announcement that they were gonna be playing in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, which is awesome, but it was Mike Norvell doing the announcement.

And so despite the fact that he was announcing something [laughs] that they would, you know, that is pretty cool, they were just all booing him because it was [laughs] Mike Norvell on the screen.

Oh, man.
