2 min

Tim riffs on telling a relative to focus less on fancy casseroles and more on their furry daughter, then compares Ben's Texas religious retreat to the cult bonfire ritual in the movie Midsommar.

In this bit4 moments
  • Tim describes Ben's daughter as a nine-year-old furry with cat ears at the table.
  • Ben's skipping Thanksgiving and heading to a cult in the middle of Texas where they take their shoes off and baptize each other.
  • Tim compares Ben's Thanksgiving to the movie Midsommar—a cult selects one member, dresses him in a bear costume, drugs him, puts him in a barn, and sets it on fire before their seasonal feast.
  • Everyone stays silent at Ben's cult Thanksgiving because they know what's coming, which Tim calls beautiful.
