Live from ABC News headquarters in

Good morning, America.
>> So that's what you meant by don't let it
go.
I got you. Oh, thank you. Good morning,
America. Got a busy Tuesday ahead of us.
>> We have a busy Tuesday is right, Robin.
We're going to begin with the
Thanksgiving travel rush. And here's a a
live look at flights that are in the air
right now. This is expected to be the
busiest day in the air.
>> You see it right there. And our
transportation correspondent, Gio
Bonitez, is standing by on a plane at
LaGuardia Airport. First, let's go to
Ginger. She's tracking all these severe
storms. Hey,
>> got that plane all to himself, it looks
like. Good morning. You know, at least
five reported tornadoes of the nearly
dozen severe storm reports. And that
line of severe storms is still blowing
through Alabama this morning headed into
Georgia. So, we could see damaging winds
in excess of 60 mph. And this is just
one of the trouble spots this morning.
Severe storms slamming the south during
the busiest Thanksgiving travel season
in 15 years.
>> That's crazy.
>> Funnel clouds filling the skies and at
least five reported tornadoes from
western Mississippi to just north of
Houston.
>> There is an active tornado in my
backyard right now.
>> Debris flying.
>> The wind was unbelievable. It was so
forceful. I couldn't It was like
fighting 50 men. I just looked at my
kids and I just said, "Yeah, we're we're
in a tornado."
>> A mother and her three children taking
shelter in their closet, emerging to
find a tree limb had impaled their
house. Video from above showing
extensive damage to more than 100 homes.
Debris scattered across yards. High
winds toppling trees, shattering
windows, roofs ripped from homes, power
poles taken out.
>> We just heard the glass just start
shattering all around us. Overnight, we
spoke to Britney Pek, who was home with
her husband and two kids when a twister
moved in.
>> Windows that are broken. We have a lot
of damage.
>> Now, the cleanup, thousands without
power, but thankfully, no injuries were
reported. Chattanooga to Atlanta,
prepare for that line to make your way
this morning, but then this afternoon,
we will kind of reinvigorate the
atmosphere, and that's where severe
storms pop back up. Birmingham,
Montgomery, a lot of places here in that
yellow color could see damaging wind
with even in a spin-up tornado. So
that's the severe storms part, but it's
already snowing in North Dakota,
northern Minnesota, and parts of South
Dakota. What we're going to do with this
storm is put a lot of wind in it. It's
very strong. So Minneapolis waking up
with a winter storm warning by tonight.
You're going to transition to three to
six inches of snow. The wind advisories
go all the way through tomorrow. A very
windy windy Wednesday for Chicago. Gusts
up to 60 in parts of Nebraska. So travel
and travel I 80 going to be problematic.
We've got tonight, this afternoon from
Pittsburgh, Michael, over to
Philadelphia. We have rain here, but
then it becomes more scattered tomorrow.
Lake effect snow kicks in and a lot of
cold for Thursday. I'll tell you all
about it.
>> All right, a lot of weather to pay
attention to, Jinger. Thank you for
that. We're going to go now to Gio at
LaGuardia Airport with the latest on the
holiday travel. Good morning, Gio.
>> Hey, Michael. Good morning. Yeah, we're
on board an American Airlines 737 right
now. And in just a few hours, I'm told
this is going to be almost entirely
packed on its way to Fort Lauderdale.
Now, I'm not one of the ones traveling
today, but millions of you are. So,
let's take a look at the numbers right
now because the FAA says that today is
the busiest day with 52,000 flights
expected. Now, we're told there is solid
staffing at towers and control centers
nationwide. The FAA is calling this week
their Super Bowl, and it's really no
surprise why because the TSA thinks it's
going to screen nearly 18 million people
for the holiday. Let's turn to the roads
now because 90% of people will be
driving. That's 73 million of you. The
busiest days today, tomorrow, and
Sunday. The worst time to hit the road
today is between noon and 9:00 p.m.
Tomorrow, you're going to want to get
going before 11:00 a.m. And here's
another big number for you. 1.2 million
people will be taking a train. By the
way, we told you we're inside an
American Airlines plane. Of course, this
is the flight deck. Not sure how they
let me on board here, but American tells
us that Sunday and Monday, those are
going to be the busiest days for them.
So, keep that in mind as everyone goes
back home. And Robin, I know you're
going to love this stat here. 12,5B
turkeys fit on this [laughter] plane.
>> A good good to know there. Thanks so
much as always, Gio. Take them home for
the team like that. Overseas now, we
have the latest on the war in Ukraine. A
heavy Russian missile barrage struck Kev
overnight after US and Ukrainian
negotiators announced they had hammered
out a framework a framework for possible
peace deal. Our chief foreign
correspondent Ian Panel is on the scene
for us there in Ke. Good morning Ian.
>> Yeah good morning Robin from central K
the capital of Ukraine which came under
heavy bombardment last night. We're
outside at the scene of where one
Russian drone struck this residential
apartment building. You can see people
throwing the debris out of the building
now, trying to make it safe for
residents return. It was a really heavy
night for residents here in Ukraine. And
meanwhile, we're hearing news of major
progress on the attempts for peace.
Overnight, an intense barrage of Russian
missiles and drones raining down on the
Ukrainian capital for more than 6 hours
as negotiations intensify between the
US, Russia, and Ukraine.
Officials are saying Russia targeted
power stations, two residential
buildings also hit.
>> I don't know if you heard that. We're
now getting intense Russian bombardment
of the capital. At least seven people
killed according to officials. The mayor
saying seven out of 10 of the capital's
districts now suffering power
disruptions. This coming after 2 days of
high stakes talks in Geneva and Abu
Dhabi. Overnight, the US announcing Army
Secretary Dan Driscoll met with a
Russian delegation in Abu Dhabi Monday
to [snorts] present an updated version
of President Trump's peace plan that was
negotiated over the weekend with
Ukraine. Driscoll continuing talks with
the Russians today. High-ranking US
[music] and Ukrainian officials at talks
in Switzerland on Sunday amended the
28-point plan that initially heavily
favored Russia and blindsided Ukraine.
The plan now has 19 points. President
Zilinski saying some of the most
unacceptable have been changed, but the
most delicate issues I will discuss with
President Trump. A senior source briefed
on the matter, telling ABC News there'll
no longer be a strict limit on the size
of the Ukrainian army, but contentious
issues like Ukraine surrendering land to
Russia remain unresolved. Putin wants
legal recognition for what he has stolen
to break the principle of territorial
integrity and sovereignty and that's the
main problem.
>> Well guys, we are just getting major
developing news. A US official is saying
that the Ukrainian team has essentially
agreed to the deal that was struck in
Geneva. Remember, US and Ukrainian
officials were meeting there over the
weekend. We now know US officials are
meeting with Russian officials. They
haven't said that they agree to it, but
nevertheless, it does look like real
momentum potentially potentially to
reach an end to this war.
>> Okay. And thanks very much. Now to the
Pentagon responding to President Trump's
threats by announcing an investigation
into Arizona Senator Mark Kelly, a
retired military officer and astronaut
who appeared in a video urging service
members to refuse to obey illegal
orders. Chief White House correspondent
Mary Bruce has the story. Good morning,
Mary. Good morning, George. Well, this
fight between the president and the
Democratic lawmakers behind this video
now really escalating. A sitting senator
now facing a court marshal for telling
service members they can refuse unlawful
orders.
This morning, Arizona Senator Mark Kelly
defiant after the Pentagon announced
it's investigating him for serious
allegations of misconduct after he and
five other Democratic lawmakers posted a
video urging US service members not to
follow illegal orders. I was a captain
in the United States Navy,
>> former CIA officer,
>> former Navy.
>> Kelly, who flew 39 combat missions in
Iraq before going on to become an
astronaut, now threatened with a court
marshal for saying this.
>> Our laws are clear. You can refuse
illegal orders.
>> You [music] can refuse illegal orders.
>> You must refuse illegal orders.
>> No one has to carry out orders that
violate the [music] law or our
constitution. The president furious at
the lawmakers, labeling them traitors
and accusing them of quote sedicious
behavior punishable by death. But the
law is clear. Service members don't need
to follow unlawful orders. Rachel Van
Landingham, a lawyer and retired Air
Force Lieutenant Colonel, says there's
no legal basis for the Pentagon to court
Marshall Kelly. There is absolutely zero
probable cause, zero chance in any
universe that Senator Kelly violated any
component of US federal law or the
Uniform Code of Military Justice.
>> Late last week, the president suggesting
the Pentagon could take action.
>> Well, I think Pete Hexath is looking
into it, too. I know they're looking
into it militarily. I don't know for a
fact, but I think the military is
looking into it, the military courts.
Yesterday, Secretary Hegsth following
through, calling the video despicable,
reckless, and false, adding,
"Encouraging our warriors to ignore the
orders of their commanders undermines
every aspect of good order and
discipline.
>> It's about intimidation."
>> Overnight, Kelly saying he won't be
silenced.
>> I said something that was pretty simple
and non-controversial,
and that was that members of the
military should follow the law. And in
response to that, Donald Trump said, "I
should be executed. I should be hanged.
I should be prosecuted."
>> Now, Kelly is the only one of the six
lawmakers to be investigated by the
Pentagon because unlike the other
military veterans, Kelly is retired and
receiving benefits and still subject to
the Uniform Code of Military Justice.
Michael.
>> All right, we'll see how this all plays
out. Mary, thank you for that. Now to a
federal judge throwing out the criminal
charges against two of President Trump's
adversaries. Former FBI Director James
Comey and New York Attorney General
Leticia James. Our chief justice
correspondent Beer Thomas has the story
>> this morning. In a dramatic ruling, a
federal judge throwing out the cases
against former FBI director James Comey
and New York Attorney General Leticia
James, ruling the president's handpicked
prosecutor Lindseay Halligan, who
oversaw both cases, had no lawful
authority to present the indictments.
Comey responding, blasting every aspect
of the case. I'm grateful that the court
ended the case against me, which was a
prosecution based on malevolence and
incompetence.
>> And James Defiant saying, "I remain
fearless in the face of these baseless
charges as I continue fighting for New
Yorkers." Judge Cameron Curry finding
Haligan an insurance lawyer who had
never prosecuted a case was not an
attorney authorized by law to conduct
grand jury proceedings. Not so says the
Trump administration. bill will be
taking all available legal action,
including an immediate appeal.
>> Halagan was working as a White House aid
when Trump named her acting US attorney
to quote get things moving after he
publicly urged Attorney General Pam
Bondi to go after Comey and James.
>> We have to act fast. If they're not
guilty, that's fine. If they are guilty
or if they should be charged, they
should be judged and we have to do it
now. Halagan took over after Trump
forced out her predecessor Eric Sbert,
another Trump appointee, who had
determined there was not enough evidence
to bring charges against either Comey or
James. Just three days later, Comey was
indicted on charges he lied to Congress
and obstructed a congressional
proceeding. A few days after that, James
indicted on charges related to alleged
mortgage fraud. But the judge ruling
Haligan's appointment was unlawful
because she was replacing another
interim US attorney, saying any other
decision would mean the government could
send any private citizen off the street,
attorney or not, into the grand jury
room to secure an indictment so long as
the attorney general gives her approval
after the fact. That cannot be the law.
Although the Justice Department is
vowing to appeal both cases, the judge
suggested that DOJ may not be able to
pursue the same charges against Comey
because the statute of limitations on
those charges has now run out and the
indictment is now void. Robin.
>> All right, PR, thanks to you for your
reporting. Now, the new health warning
as people get ready to gather for
Thanksgiving. And Sam, you have those
details for us.
>> We do, Robin. Good morning. Good
morning, everyone. Neurovirus, we always
call it the worst stomach bug, right?
It's a contagious virus that is often
referred to as stomach flu and now cases
are on the rise across the country. The
CDC reports the number of tests coming
back positive for neurovirus is now at
14% but just 3 months ago the rate was
7%. So we're on the lift. We are still
off the record numbers of last year in
December when 25% of those tests came
back positive. But here's what you need
to know. While cases are up in the
country, the data finds Texas, Oklahoma,
Alabama, Wyoming, and Nebraska are
reporting the most cases. The most
common symptoms of neurovirus are
diarrhea, vomiting, nausea, and stomach
pain. Now, doctors tell us the symptoms
usually develop 12 to 48 hours after you
were exposed. And one thing to keep in
mind, hand sanitizers were the weapons
that we all used against COVID. They do
not work well against neurovirus. The
best way to avoid neurov virus is to
wash your hands frequently with hot
soapy water, particularly after the
bathroom. Now, clean and disinfect all
contaminated surfaces. But here's what
you use. A bleachbased cleaner. If you
do this, it will make a big difference.
>> Minimize the chances.
>> Yep. Exactly.
>> Thank you, Sam. All right.
>> Big night in Monday Night Football. We
had the Panthers and the 49ers. Larry,
you have all the highlights.
>> I do, George. And if you are not up to
speed on this season, this wild NFL
season, this was a matchup with playoff
implications in the NFC. It was also the
first time San Francisco's star running
back Christian McAffrey faced his former
team since they traded him three years
ago. And make no mistake, McAffrey
showed those Panthers what they're
missing, earning a combined 142 yards,
including a 12 yard touchdown there.
Nicely done. McCaffrey had his 10th 100
game 100yard game of the season. That's
two shy of the franchise record he set
in 2023. So still plenty of time to
surpass that in coming days. San
Francisco won the game 20 to9, improving
their playoff hopes and thus stopping
the Panthers from taking sole possession
of first place in the NFC South. Now,
the win also ties the Niners with the
Pittsburgh Steelers for the most wins of
all time on Monday Night Football. Both
franchises now have 54 under their
belts. Looking ahead to next week, the
49ers will be in Cleveland to face off
against the Browns and Shador Sanders.
The rookie has earned a second career
start after leading his team to that
victory over the Raiders and he also
threw his first touchdown pass.
Congratulations to Shad.
>> Wow.
>> Yeah, that guy was almost as fast as you
know when he was moving.
>> Great job, Larry. Thank you for that.
>> Coming up, Becky show us [music] the
tech helper slash the Thanksgiving
grocery bill in half.
>> Oh, wow. Back.
Back here on GMA, Robert Irwin dancing
to Princess Baby, I'm a star on last
week's dancing semifinals. Will he be
walting off with the mirrorball trophy?
Tonight, former winner and pro dancer
Sha Burgess is going to join us to break
down the finale. That's coming up in our
next hour.
>> And well, you've got more headlines,
including an update on the Carnival
Cruise mystery.
>> Yeah, good morning, George. It's been
ruled a homicide, and that is where we
begin at 7:30. 18-year-old Anna
Keaptainner's body was found on a
Carnival cruise ship earlier this month.
And Keaptainner's family says her
stepbrother is a suspect in her murder.
The death certificate says Keaptainner
[music] was mechanically esphixxiated.
And Reverend Jesse Jackson is heading
home. Jackson had [music] been
hospitalized earlier this month due to
complications from a rare neurological
disorder. But now the 84year-old [music]
civil rights leader has been released
from the hospital. He's in stable
condition and will be returning to his
home. And the oldest known living
survivor of the Tulsa race massacre has
[music] died. Biola Fletcher, known as
Mother Fletcher, was 111 years old.
Fletcher was a young girl when a white
mob unleashed [music] that deadly attack
on the thriving black community in
Tulsa. Fletcher dedicated much of the
rest of her life to seeking justice for
the attack. There is now just [music]
one known living survivor. And the
Powerball jackpot keeps growing. [music]
It keeps growing and growing and
growing. $681 million now after there
was no big winner again last night. So,
we're all still in the [music] game,
guys.
>> Yep. Still in it.
>> Can't win it if you don't play the game,
right? That's right.
>> All right. Well, thank you so much for
that. We're going to turn now to the
porch pirate takedown. Prosecutors in
New York say they're broken up a
sophisticated group of criminals who
allegedly targeted FedEx packages
stealing high value electronics. Our
chief investigative correspondent Eric
Aturski is here with this story. Good
morning, Eric.
>> Good morning, Michael. This ring has
taken porch piracy to a new level. And
now, authorities in suburban New York
say they've dismantled a network of
brazen thieves.
Watch as two guys rip a box from the
hands of a FedEx driver in broad
daylight, then take off in a getaway
car. The delivery men had no way of
knowing what was happening. But this
morning, prosecutors on Long Island say
the thieves knew exactly what they
wanted to steal and when it would show
up.
>> Pirates would be there waiting uh for
the phones as though they were expecting
them. Prosecutors say a sophisticated
ring of porch pirates was after mobile
phones and other electronics and knew
when FedEx was dropping them off because
they had hacked into the shipping giants
delivery network and placed bulk orders
using fake names but real addresses of
unsuspecting homeowners.
>> Once they were placed into the system,
uh the co-conspirators would then
contact these runners and tell them uh
these are the names and you're going to
go out and and pick these up. Officials
releasing videos they say show the
alleged pattern. A FedEx employee drops
off a box and moments later a thief
swipes it and flees in a waiting car.
The stolen phones were allegedly taken
to a stash house in the Bronx in garbage
bags before they were resold in the
United States and internationally.
Investigators say they recovered more
than 200 mobile phones and tens of
thousands of dollars in cash.
>> Once they're unlocked and being able to
util be utilized as both a
communications device andor uh internet
access device, they would be literally
untraceable by law enforcement.
>> Our prosecutors identified four dozen of
these kinds of robberies in Suffach
County alone, but they say cell phones
are being stolen this way up and down
the east coast. FedEx told us in a
statement, "The shipping industry is now
working with law enforcement to address
the rise in porch piracy. In this
particular case, guys, 14 people were
charged on Long Island. Most of them
have pleaded not guilty."
>> So brazen went about it.
>> It is.
>> All right, Aaron. Thank you. Now, our
ABC News exclusive with Denver Broncos
star Alex Singleton talking about his
recent cancer diagnosis discovered in an
unexpected way. Trevor Alt sat down with
him and joins us now. Good morning,
Trevor.
>> Good morning, Robin. So, this has really
been an unbelievable story for Alex
Singleton, a Denver Broncos linebacker
who learned he had cancer, still played
a game with it, and then went into
surgery to treat it the next day. And
the only reason he found out he was sick
was because of a random drug test.
>> I'm happy I've had this positive outlook
through it because it has been so fast.
>> As a team captain of one of the best
defenses in football, Denver Broncos
linebacker Alex Singleton knows to make
it in the league, you have to act fast.
Singleton does a great job putting his
hat on the ball.
>> But just four weeks ago, after he helped
the Broncos beat the Cowboys, the
31-year-old suddenly faced a new
opponent. And it started with a letter
in his locker.
>> I open the, you know, the FedEx thing,
then it says confidential. I'm like,
what is this? Rip it open. All I see is
the what the hormone was.
>> A random drug screening showed he had
elevated levels of a hormone known as
hCG, which makes testosterone. For Alex,
that meant one of two things.
>> All it says is if it's in a male, pretty
much you're either injecting something
or you have testicular cancer. And I'm
like, well, neither of those make sense
for me. So then I was just super
confused.
>> I'm Cuz you felt fine.
>> Felt fine. We were preparing to go play
in Houston that week.
>> He was suddenly facing two realities. He
was worried he'd either be suspended for
a banned substance potentially branded a
cheater, or he had cancer. My wife,
who's the best, she was like, "Let's
just sign up for a urologist
appointment, was kind of just like,"All
right, try to not think about this for
the next 72 hours
>> and go play a NFL football game on
Sunday and be ready to go to this
doctor."
>> Able to not think about it?
>> Uh, no. I thought about it 24/7.
>> Alex Singleton there to make the play.
>> The day after the game, he met with a
doctor to get an answer. He goes, "I
think you at least like 95% chance you
have cancer just based off a feel." And
I was like, "Okay."
>> By that Monday evening, an ultrasound
confirmed he had testicular cancer and
they immediately scheduled a surgery for
Friday.
>> The day before the surgery, you have the
Raiders,
>> a division game. Yeah. Doctor obviously
sat us down and talks about, you know,
chemo, radiation, uh spreading,
uh, you know, kids after this, all that
stuff. So, I'm like, I just want to play
football.
>> With cancer in his body and hardly any
of his teammates aware, Alex suited up
and played all 60 defensive snaps for
his team.
>> Right there to stop at the line of
scrimmage, Alex Singleton.
>> The next day, he went into surgery.
>> Friday morning was a lot of anxiety, you
know, I think just as a man getting that
done. I was more nervous about that,
like what's going to happen to me? Is
everything going to be the same? But the
procedure was successful and a CT scan
showed the cancer had not appeared to
spread. It was only then that he decided
to tell his teammates what was
happening.
>> I've learned more in this past week just
of compassion and empathy through
through a bunch of tough dudes than, you
know, anything else I think I've ever
gone through. He says this has given him
a new appreciation for his support
systems, his wife and young daughter,
the team's ownership and medical staff,
and even for that drug test.
>> You think you're the first NFL player
grateful for a random drug test?
>> Yes. And you know, people ask, I I still
am not looking forward to my next one.
So, it's uh Yeah, but I'm definitely
grateful. I don't like going to the
doctor, but now that I've learned how
quick it is, like how easy it is, and
how detectable it is through that, I
want to be the guy that's staying on the
top of every mountain just going, "Get
this done."
>> And Alex's recovery has already made
incredible progress. He has missed just
one game and he's eyeing a return Sunday
against the Commanders less than a month
after his cancer. Unbelievable.
>> The fact that he played the game.
>> Yes. knowing he had cancer and then went
into surgery the next day and only he
said maybe one or two of his teammates
knew
>> he was like he has this mindset where he
was like I was afraid to tell them I had
cancer cuz I felt like I was letting
them down.
>> Wow.
>> Unbelievable.
>> I know. But of course they were so
supportive. An amazing story.
>> Thank you for sharing that amazing
story. Very excited that you're going to
be back in our next hour because you
have given a tremendous donation of
yourself. You have given the gift of
life Trevor.
>> I appreciate that. Can't wait to share
that journey. We are looking forward to
that. We're back with a look at soaring
grocery prices as we head into
Thanksgiving. [music]
Becky Worley tried out some of the
newest tech powered by AI to help
everyone save on the holiday. Good
morning, Becky.
>> Good morning, George. You know, I'm an
AI enthusiast, so I was hopeful. I took
[music] a 20 item list for a
Thanksgiving meal. And I plugged it into
some of the top AI tools that we all
know and I asked it to help me save
money. And I found the results were not
incredibly helpful. I got some generic
information about where prices might be
lowest, some help organizing the list,
but all of the tools told me I had to
comb the circular ads for the, you know,
in my newspapers or in the area to clip
coupons. But dude, that's what I wanted
AI to do. I got so frustrated.
[laughter]
>> Oh, but you didn't give up. So, what did
you do, baby?
>> Well, I kind of went intermediary, old
school. Um, there are a slew of grocery
shopping apps that are going to help you
organize your lists and find deals.
These are apps like Grocery Pal, Basket,
Boxed is another one, but I focused on
an app called Flip. Flip lets you search
the circular ads and the digital coupons
for stores in your area. So, I entered
each item on my list and it found weekly
deals, BOGO deals, uh, manufacturer
coupons, and all the prices that were
listed in the circular. The savings were
no joke. If I bought my 20 items at just
say my normal regional grocery store,
nothing fancy, not a specialty store,
they would have cost $11363.
But the Flip app found all the same
items at four different stores. Grand
total $5012.
>> That's huge.
>> That's almost worth the travel.
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah. That's what I was going to say cuz
that that's that's such a significant
difference, Becky. But you have to go to
more than one store to get those, right?
That is correct. And there are caveats
here. It took me about 30 minutes to do
the search for all the items in this
app. And it would definitely take me
more time to shop at four different
locations. But there were a few big
ticket items I could prioritize. Like I
found an insane deal on the turkey. 39
cents a pound compared to a buck.99 a
pound. That alone counted for 19 bucks
in savings. You could prioritize one or
two stores from the list. I have to tell
you guys, I've really noticed when I'm
in the grocery store or out at Costco,
people are putting in the work to get
lower grocery prices. They're sticking
to tightly crafted lists. They're
running a watching a running total while
they shop. And they are going to
multiple stores. So, I think that's what
people are doing to do now that willing
to do now that groceries have gotten so
>> Oh, wow. Thank you for that, Becky.
>> You got it.
>> Next. Got our play of the day, Sam.
>> I do. First, let's just talk about
grocery store music and how good it is.
Okay. [laughter]
Okay.
>> It's all those old hits from the 70s.
It's just fantastic.
>> We're back now with our play of [music]
the day and how one baseball team that
has really exploded in popularity. How
cool that they're protecting their fans
>> and we loved them when they were here.
So, we get it, America. Good morning,
guys. Savannah Banana tickets are a hot
commodity and fans often spend hundreds
of dollars on the tickets to see this
rockus baseball team. But scammers are
cashing in through fake online tickets.
And the team now is coming up with a
plan to protect their fans.
>> This morning, the Savannah Bananas
stepping up to the plate, facing off
against online ticket scammers.
>> For years, I've watched families get
scammed. They spend $300, $400 on fake
tickets. They show up to the gate, find
out they're not real, and can't get in.
The exhibition high energy baseball team
known for their viral dance moments and
family-friendly shows announcing Monday
plans to create a verified secondary
ticket marketplace aimed at combating
inflated prices and fraudulent sales
that have plagued the team for years.
>> It kills me [music] every single time.
Founder Jesse Cole saying the system
would protect fans from scalpers and
fraudsters, allowing for the reselling
of verified authentic tickets at face
value. Banana Ball, as it's been called,
exploding in popularity, even here at
GMA.
>> Their games a mix of [music]
competition, comedy, acrobatics, and
highly choreographed dance numbers
regularly selling out. The move coming
after the bananas say the fake tickets
flooded social media platforms, the same
sites where their antics are being
viewed millions of times.
>> We want families to get real tickets at
real prices. And we want to eliminate
scammers completely.
>> You make it you love them even more for
this. The new resale system is expected
to launch before the start of the 2026
season. And until then, fans are being
urged to purchase tickets through the
team's official channels. And then that
way you don't, you know, risk a scammer.
>> Yeah. Yeah. I I hate that I miss them
when they were here.
>> Great.
>> They're so great. And I love that
[clears throat] the owner cares that
much about his fans. It's just terrific.
>> What an example. What an example for
other owners. Yeah.
>> Coming up, America's Test Kitchen is
here with some showstopping Thanksgiving
[music] desserts for your holiday
celebration. You
>> know how to do it.
>> Oh, come on back.
Good morning, America. It's 8 a.m.
Severe storms take aim at the south.
Just 2 days [music] until Thanksgiving.
>> That's crazy.
>> Tornadoes reported from Mississippi to
Texas. Ginger is tracking it all and
where we could see possible white out
conditions.
>> What happens when you're a match?
>> I'm a match for uh a middle-aged man on
the other side of the world who has
[music] bone cancer. Our own Trevor Alt
inspired to sign up and doing a simple
swab six years ago. And now what
happened just three weeks [music] ago.
>> We could get to do something pretty cool
here. I think
>> and it all comes down to this. Five
couples vying for the Mirror Ball trophy
on tonight's big Dancing with the Stars
finale. Former champ Burgess joins us
live as we say good morning America.
Live from ABC News headquarters in New
York City, it's Tuesday. Good morning,
America.
>> I agree. It's a groovy, too.
>> Yeah. Right on. [laughter]
>> Good morning, America. The countdown is
on to Black Friday. Tory Johnson is here
to help with all your holiday gifting
[music] needs, bringing everything from
tech to toast to cashmere to help you
get down tonight.
>> Oh, yeah. Also ahead, we have the new
study on the mental health benefits of a
social media break. How much you have to
cut back to see improvements.
>> Yeah, that is interesting. First, a look
at [music] the top stories breaking at
8. We start with a Thanksgiving travel
forecast. Ginger's tracking the severe
[music] storms. Hey, Ginger.
>> Hey. So, we had at least five reported
tornadoes, George, from just north of
Houston over to Meridian, Mississippi.
Here's a picture of one there from
Houston. There were a lot of funnels
that didn't touch down, but there were
also plenty that did and did damage.
This is Harris County. at least 100
homes damaged by that. This morning, I'm
concerned about Atlanta. There's a line
of severe thunderstorms that are
blasting right toward there. So, I do
think that could impact air travel and
definitely the roads in Georgia as we go
through this early Tuesday. Now, we're
going to see that severe storm forecast
expand back to the west again with
Birmingham, Tuscaloosa, and Meridian by
this afternoon and the evening. So,
watch that. We also have snow flying
already in North Dakota and Minnesota.
This is going to wrap up with a lot of
strength and a lot of power with wind.
So 60 mile per hour gust through
Nebraska, South Dakota, that'll be
really tough travel for I80 say but
tonight Minneapolis or St. Cloud up to
Duth no good. We're going to see 3 to
nine inches of snow depending on where
you are and then it'll be blowing
around. Lake effect snow starts up by
Wednesday but look at the rain from
Pittsburgh to New York. You can even
hear a rumble of thunder tonight into
early tomorrow. Then the rain showers
become more scattered on that big busy
day on Wednesday. 131 in West Michigan a
problem and Thursday blustery for
Thanksgiving. Michael.
>> All right, thank you Jinger. Appreciate
that. Tonight, we're going to go to the
rising cost of Christmas. Many gifts and
decorations are expected to be more
expensive this year, including some
Christmas trees, but there are ways to
save. Elizabeth Schuly joins us with how
to do that. Good morning, Elizabeth.
>> Good morning, Michael. We are now just 3
days away from Black Friday, which is
typically the busiest day of the year,
to buy a Christmas tree. So, if you're
in the market for an artificial tree
this year, it might cost you as much as
20% more. That's because of tariffs. The
US imports almost all of its artificial
trees from China, where tariffs are
still at the highest level in decades.
So, if you paid $299 for a tree last
year, you might pay $359 now. If you're
thinking about buying a fresh tree, the
real Christmas tree board tells us that
prices are expected to be stable
compared to last year. It depends where
you live and the type of tree, but a 7
foot frasier fur averages about $150
here near me. All of the fresh trees
that you're going to find in lots are
either grown in the US, especially the
Pacific Northwest or in Canada. And
those Canadian trees crossing the border
are actually exempt from tariffs. To get
the longest life, most value out of a
real tree, it is recommended you keep it
out of direct sunlight. And you want to
water it twice a day for the first
couple of days, filling it all the way
up to the top of that stand to make sure
that it stays long. I did it.
>> So twice a day.
>> Twice a day, which is a lot more than
you think for the first two to three
days. All right. Good. Then you can move
to once.
>> Yeah. Appreciate that, Elizabeth. very
much. Thanks, Robin.
>> All right, we have a GMA health alert
for you now. A warning for young people
as a new study touts the mental health
benefits of cutting back on social
media. Chief technology correspondent
Rebecca Jarvis, you got more on that.
Good morning.
>> Hey, Robin. Yeah, nice to see you guys.
And these results are really hard to
ignore. Researchers looked at nearly 300
people between the ages of 18 and 24 for
a one-week social media detox.
Participants were asked to cut back on
social media and they ended up averaging
about 30 minutes a day, cutting social
media screen time by 9 hours over that
detox week. Participants reported
meaningful drops in anxiety, depression,
and insomnia. And those who started the
week with more severe depression
actually saw the biggest improvements.
Researchers found the negative parts of
social media were closely linked with
worse mental health. Now, the study
admittedly has some limitations. Most
participants were young, female, highly
educated, meaning that the results might
not apply to everyone. The data relied
on self-reported surveys, which aren't
always perfect. And even though app use
was tracked on phones, participants
could still access social media on other
devices if that's what they chose to do.
Plus, when people know that they're
being monitored, their behavior and
motivation can affect the results. But
the bottom line here is we need to keep
looking at this. There needs to be more
research and and you feel it in your own
life. You spend less time on your phone.
Absolutely.
>> You definitely feel a difference. Big
>> my girls have experimented with the
social media fast. It's working for
them.
>> That's good.
>> I did it, too.
>> Biggest thing. Best thing I ever did.
>> Just delete those apps.
>> Absolutely.
>> Really does help. Thank you, Rebecca.
>> Thanks, guys.
>> Coming up on our GMA morning menu, our
[music] Trevor Alt making a big
decision, giving the gift of life. He's
going to tell [music] us what it's like
to become a stem cell donor for someone
half a world away.
>> Also ahead, Becky Worley is getting in
the Black Friday groove.
>> Woo!
>> Yes, very groovy, baby. Deals to make
you dance on everything from tech to
appliances and luggage. Get it in.
>> Plus, Mirrorball winning pro Shauna Burg
Burgess is here. She's going to get us
up to speed for tonight's Dancing with
the Stars finale. And Lar Sam, what do
you guys have? Hey, so George, it is day
two of America's test kitchen
Thanksgiving takeover. We are so
grateful that Dan and Lighty, two
experts, are here to help with the
feast.
>> So, it's a test kitchen and it's safety
first. I brought my goggles. I have a
fire extinguisher in case anything goes
wrong. But we're talking about
showstopping desserts.
>> You can't go wrong.
>> Nothing's going wrong.
>> All right. Nothing's going wrong.
[laughter]
>> It's coming up,
>> but I'm still ready.
>> And apparently a performance by Bono,
everyone on
>> They're goggles. They're safety goggles.
We'll be right back.
We are really excited about our GMA
[music] cover story. It's about the
incredible impact stem cell donations
can make [music] in people's lives. I am
forever grateful that my sister Sally
was a perfect match, saving my life.
Another member of the GMA family has
taken part in a stem cell donation. He
is the one giving them. Trevor is back
[music] with his story. Good morning
again, Trev.
>> Good morning again, Robin. So, you match
with your sister, which is amazing. But
75% of people who need a stem cell
transplant don't have a match in their
family. And almost 7 years ago when I
was interviewing with ABC, I saw Robin's
story and was inspired to join this
registry. And recently, I got the news
that a man on the other side of the
world needed a donation, and I was a
perfect match.
From the Lemons for Leukemia Challenge,
>> we're trying to break the world record
for most [music] amount of bone marrow
donation signups
>> to our own one match second chance
drive,
>> everyone here [music] at Howard
University is ready to be the match for
somebody.
>> For more than a decade, Good Morning
America has shined a light on the
promise of stem cell donations in
offering a life-saving cure. Without
her,
my son wouldn't be here.
>> After our own Robin Roberts documented
her journey in 2012, undergoing a stem
cell transplant thanks to her sister,
her perfect match.
>> I think now is a good time to say, "Go
Sally, go."
>> Helping treat her Milo displastic
[music] syndrome. Robin's advocacy has
inspired more than 38,000 people to swab
their cheeks and sign up, including
[music] me. Okay, so just got into the
car, headed to a blood center to have a
little bit of blood drawn. I'm usually
the one covering the story, but a few
months ago, I got an email from NMDP
telling me I was a match. What they've
told me is that I'm a match for uh a
middle-aged man on the other side of the
world who has bone cancer. Honestly,
when I signed up for this registry, I
didn't know that I would ever hear from
them ever again. And this email out of
the blue is a pleasant [music] surprise
cuz we could get to do something pretty
cool here, I think. After passing a few
screenings, [music] it was go time.
First, a nurse gave me 5 days of
injections to supercharge my [music]
body's stem cell production. And then I
was off to Seattle with NMDP covering
travel and accommodations for me and my
caregiver, my girlfriend Grace, [music]
to go to their blood center where every
year hundreds of volunteers come to
donate. So, we're all set up here. This
machine is taking the blood out of my
right arm here and somewhere in there is
separating the stem cells. For me, the
entire process was relatively pain-free.
It takes the average donor 4 to 6 hours.
I was done in less than three. NMDP says
there is still an urgent need for young,
healthy, and willing donors. But there's
also promising new research on the
horizon for unrelated, partially matched
donors to increase access and outcomes.
The genetic profile of America is only
increasing. [music] And through this
research, that enables us to provide
more donors. That means we're providing
more hope [music] to patients who didn't
necessarily have it.
>> Now, NMDP used to be called Be the
Match. And they tell us that Robin
sharing her story has inspired 38,000
people to join the registry, including
me. And just in the past year, more than
50 patients have been given a second
chance thanks to GMA viewers who join.
>> The GMA viewers are the ones that have
really
>> Yes, I know.
>> Thank you. I'm sorry. I mean, woo, this
is so incredibly powerful
[clears throat] because there are so
many people who sign up,
>> they get the call, and they don't follow
through for for various reasons. And I
want to put up,
>> can we show photos? These folks right
now, these folks right now are searching
for the right match. And so, Trevor, who
better than you? What can you say to
encourage people to sign up and stay
committed?
>> Yeah, I I can't say enough about this
organization and how simple they made
the process. We do know that about half
the people who are matched end up not
following through for one reason or
another. But I mean, they worked with my
schedule. They sent a nurse to my house
for the injections. They paid for every
expense to fly to Seattle. And me and my
girlfriend and our meals. That's not
like a GMA friend of Robin perk. That's
they take care of everybody. Although
everyone at the donation center was
like, "You're Robin. You work with
Robin." Uh, which was amazing. Like
that's the difference that you've made
with this organization is you're on a
firstname business. basically a week out
of your life, but you save a life.
>> Truly, and a person, it doesn't hurt.
>> Exactly. Very manageable. I felt I was
tired for maybe a day. And if it gets to
the point where you're a match, it means
that the person in need has tried other
treatments. They aren't working and they
don't have a match with their friend or
family. So, you have an opportunity to
step up. I can't say enough how easy
this was. It was not a heroic effort on
my part. It was just them saying, "You
are a match. You can help." And then you
do it.
>> Yeah. And you do it. But you, like you
said, 75% of the time,
>> you know, people think it's going to be
someone from the family. It takes
someone like you stepping up and doing
>> all the way around the world. I'm so
excited.
>> And we got to see your girlfriend for
the first time.
>> That's right. Grace's GMA debut. Very
excited.
>> Oh, she's got a sweetheart. [laughter]
>> Thank you and bless you. And you can
scan the QR code on your screen to go to
or you can go to our website, find out
about becoming a stone a stem cell donor
yourself. Michael's phone. I'm making
[laughter] Surprise.
>> Wasn't a be hot dials happen. Just so
you know.
>> I can't think better than that for an
introduction. [laughter]
>> All right, everybody. We got a lot going
on. We're going to begin with great news
for our girls from the Hulu hit All
[music] Fair. The streamer just
announcing that those fierce divorce
divas are going back to court for season
two. The series starring Kim Kardashian,
Gwen Close, Sarah Pollson, Naomi Watts,
[music] Ni Nash, Betts, and Tiana
Taylor. It debuted just three [music]
weeks ago and it became Hulu's biggest
original scripted series premiere in 3
years. Creator Ryan [music] Murphy and
the team already have a start date for
production this spring. Meanwhile, you
can check out the first season of All
Fair streaming right now on Hulu. It is
a lot of fun to watch.
>> Remember when the cast was here?
>> I wasn't in that day. I was so jealous.
>> Oh my gosh. You could [music] just tell
that they're wearing our clothes. And
yeah, let's be fair. The critics have
been brutal, but the people have spoken.
The public has spoken and saying, "You
know what? I love watching it.
>> We love it.
>> It's super fun. Ni Nash, all of it. All
of it. Naughty pleasure. You just want
to watch.
>> You're my naughty pleasure." All right.
Anyway, we continue with a really
exciting moment to celebrate our Walt
Disney family. The International Academy
of TV Arts and Sciences has honored
Disney Entertainment co-chairman Dana
Walden with their 2025 Founders Award,
which celebrates Walden's transformative
impact on the media and entertainment
industry and the incredible global
impact of the shows that she has
overseen. There she is receiving a
standing ovation as Walden took the
stage last night at the ceremony and
shared [music] some of her philosophy
during a speech. Check it out.
Great storytelling is truly universal.
And that belief that great stories can
come from anywhere and belong to
everyone is at the heart of the Walt
Disney Company. It's also a guiding
principle of my boss and friend Bob
Iger. Bob's always championed the simple
yet powerful idea that if you get the
storytelling right, everything else will
follow.
>> Always starts with the story. And some
of the other big winners of the night
included the Disney Plus show rivals for
best drama series and everyone's
favorite blue healer, Disney Plus's
Bluey, which picked up a win for kids
animation. Congratulations to all of the
honores.
[applause]
>> All about the storytelling. Uh and let's
talk about a great show, Dancing with
the Stars. The finale, guys, is tonight.
This season is unbelievable. And this
morning we have one of our favorites,
Shauna Burgess, Mirabball winner of
season 27, one of the most incredible
dancers popping in to give us her
perspective on this finals. Hi Shaa.
Great to see you.
>> Hi, good morning. It's so good to see
you, too.
>> Hey, listen. So, I want to get right to
it. Last week's was it was a shocker
when Mark Ballas and Whitney got uh
eliminated. What does that mean going
into tonight? What do what do you think
that indicates?
>> Gosh, that really hurt my heart, that
one. And I'm so sad we're not going to
see that freestyle. But I think what it
[music] means is that first of all, it's
anyone's game. And we were really
reminded about that magic of Dancing
with the Stars where yes, it's the
[music] best dancer, but it's also fan
vote. That fan vote has so much power.
So, we're voting for our [music]
favorites, too. And I think it's really
hard to know where this is going to go.
And I think it puts everyone on edge a
little bit for this finale. Do you do
you have somebody that you think whether
or not it's your personal choice, do you
have [music] someone that you think is
sort of a lock here? Well, listen. I
think right now it is Roberts to lose.
And I think the only one that can
challenge him in my honest opinion is
Alex.
>> Oh. Oh,
>> wait. I didn't hear that.
>> So, it's Robert to lose. Yeah.
>> I I I [music] think the same thing. I
think those two are the ones to watch. I
would have said Mark Ballas, honestly,
until last week. But Shauna, would you
agree that this season is just next
level?
>> This season is next level. They
absolutely Deina and Cass, they crushed
it on the casting, the personalities,
the dance level that we have, what we're
seeing, the stories we're telling. It is
so beautiful. It has been an incredible
season as evident in [music] how well
it's doing. And I just love seeing
Dancing with the Stars with this new
surge and getting its flowers again. As
a as a viewer now, I am so unbelievably
entertained and engrossed and [music]
invested in everyone's story.
>> We couldn't agree more. Thank you so
much for popping this morning. She ever
goes I know we don't but do you ever go
anywhere Shauna where it doesn't sparkle
that was my question.
>> No it comes with me everywhere I go.
That is a part of being a Dance with the
Stars pro.
>> Yes. [laughter]
>> Sha thank you so much. Thank you for
coming and joining us this morning. And
everybody please tune in the big season
finale of Dancing with the Stars. It
happens tonight East 8 Eastern right

Way, 14 food and beverage stops, and a
new spinning gondola ride from Tangled,
all leading to Adventure Bay, home to a
nighttime spectacular called Disney
Cascade of Lights. And from Adventure
Bay, head right into the world of Frozen
[music] to ride Frozen Ever After and
immerse yourself into the kingdom of
Arendelle.
>> Oh, hi. I'm right here.
>> Like warm hugs.
>> I like warm hugs, too. All right.
[laughter] With Adena Menzel, Kristen
Bell, and Josh Gad all signed on for
Frozen 3 and Frozen 4. Guys, it looks
like Arendelle's flag will be flying
high for a very
>> high. Thank you, Sam, for bringing that
with your flare. Yeah. [laughter]
>> Okay. Time now for our discount uh Okay.
>> Discount Disco.
>> Discount Disco. It's a really small
[laughter] It's a big week on GMA. We're
getting ready for tonight's Dancing with
the Stars finale and we're covering all
the Black Friday deals. One member of
our GMA.
SHE'S BRINGING THOSE TWO CONCEPTS
TOGETHER. THAT'S OUR BECKY WHIRLY. She's
spinning deals like a living, breathing
mirror. Welcome there, Becky. That's
right. You got it, girl. Guys, the
Discount Disco. It's a lifestyle where
savings meets being stylish. Hey,
welcome to my club. I call it studio 50%
off.
Don't freak out. Let's get funky with
the deals.
>> Really, really hot hot stuff on sale
right now.
>> Did you say hot stuff? Oh yeah.
Is this Bissell steam mop hot enough for
you? The Bissell Powerresh is one of the
most highly rated cleaning appliances
out there and it was $93 at bissell.com,
but now it's just $74.99.
And while I'm out here dancing with
inanimate objects, why don't you roll
that cute little girl in green out here?
[cheering]
This is the Away suitcase. The entire
family of Away luggage is discounted 25%
right now. And that's the way I Uh-huh.
Uh-huh. [laughter] I like it.
Oh, how many is she going to fit in? So
many of us like to give tech as gifts.
Spend us through some of those deals.
>> Okay. All right, guys. You can ring my
cell anytime this week because there are
phone deals out there. The Samsung
Galaxy S 25 FE unlocked. It was 6.49,
but now it's $474 at both Samsung and
Best Buy. I do think these phone deals
could get a little better towards Cyber
Monday and they are unlikely to sell
out. So you could wait and watch. Now
speaking of ring my cell rings, the Aura
ring, it was $3.49 from the Aura
website, but it's $2.49 now. Yay. And if
you want a boogie everywhere you go, the
Beats headphones, this specific model
with the white interior, they were
$3.49, now they're $149.
Did those deals ring your bell?
Well, let me let me uh give you time to
breathe. So, I'm going to go really slow
here. The disco because she's breathing
really hard right now. The disco
lifestyle is all about the late nights,
having fun out on the town. What deals
do you have that support that part of
disco?
>> Oh, yes. I do love the night life,
Robin. And when I say I love the night
life, I mean I love watching Netflix at
home on a 65 in TV. [laughter]
Like the LG OLED before, it's been
priced as high as $18.99, but this year
it's $9.96 at Amazon right now.
>> All right, baby. Well, it's good that
you're going to bed early, taking care
of yourself. All that dancing really
wears you out, doesn't it, Ben?
>> It really does. That breathing heavy
[laughter] and everything, but I have to
train like an athlete to dance this
aggressively. That's why I need my Ninja
Blender to make protein smoothies and
shakes so I can
Shake my groove thing, guys.
>> The Ninja Mega Kitchen blender system
was [music] $219 at Macy's. Now it's
$9.99.
And this keeps me fueled all night to
keep bumping booties and having us a
ball.
>> Bumping booties. Okay.
>> Discount disco.
>> I know.
[cheering]
>> Thank you.
You've just defined peak morning tele.
[laughter]
>> Hey, coming up, America's Test Kitchen
is here with Thanksgiving desserts that
will wow your guests as much as Becky
Worley just did. [cheering]
We are back with our America's Test
Kitchen [music] Thanksgiving takeover.
This morning, Chief Content Officer Dan
Souza and editor and resident [music]
Lighty Hoy are here with recipes for
showstopping desserts and a drink from
their cocktails Illustrated book for
your Thanksgiving guest. Give it up.
Give it up.
>> All right, you two, thank you for
joining us. And you know, we have two
different and and beautiful looking
tarts. That's right.
>> Okay. One is the cranberry curd tart.
>> That's right. Right there.
>> Which is right there. But you and I'm
looking at this crust and I'm going, "Oh
man, this looks difficult." But this
crust, you say it's pretty easy to make.
>> It's incredibly easy. So, we want
beautiful desserts that are simple.
Thanksgiving is a lot of work. So, we
start with we have almond flour,
cornstarch, and a little bit of sugar in
there. And we just add melted butter.
>> And we give it a stir up. This is
literally there's no cold butter.
There's no food processor involved in
this. So, you stir this up.
>> Okay.
>> And then we're going to get it into our
pie pan. our little tart show right from
there.
>> And there's no rolling.
>> That's it.
>> No rolling involved.
>> Rolling. No rolling. You literally use
the bottom of this and you just press it
out into the pan.
>> Oh man.
>> So once you've done that, you get this
gorgeous that out. Yep.
>> And I was so intimidated until I see
that now. And then to make the filling,
um, you have to cook the cranberries
first, right?
>> Yes. You cook the cranberries. And then
I'm Can I give you a quick little job?
Give me a little tiny whisk.
>> Okay.
>> And that. And so this is this is the egg
yolks and the cornstarch. So we've have
our cooked cranberries in here
>> and we mix that together. And this is
what's going to turn into a curd. We
love lemon curd, but cranberries make an
incredible curd as well.
>> Turns it into the curd. The eggs.
>> Exactly. So, we have that in there.
>> We pop this on. And that's important.
Put that on. Quick little process.
>> We get that beautiful and smooth.
>> And then that turns into this. So, look
at look at this luscious, beautiful
cranberry curd.
>> And then you you save a little bit of
curd cuz you add that to [music] the
whipped cream. You know, you make you
guys you're making this so easy. So
basically once that once that's flat,
you put it in for the fridge for 3
hours. It comes out [music] and it looks
like this. And then there's a little bit
of the curd in the whipped cream which
makes it stand up for days. So you
basically go on here and you do a
beautiful little boom.
>> Wow.
>> Boom. It is the simplest thing and it is
I mean that's a showstopper, right?
>> Yeah. That's a showstopper. People going
to say they bought that dessert. They're
not going to believe you actually made
it.
>> That's the highest compliment.
>> Yeah. I mean seriously I'm taking that
one home and I'm going to say I made it.
[laughter]
Get a little bit of this. All right. Now
we got a French apple tart lighting.
Okay. Which it's a beautiful, beautiful
alternative to a pie.
>> It is a beautiful alternative to a pie.
And what's the greatest thing about it
is it's actually even [music] easier
than a pie to make.
>> And you use the apples in two different
ways.
>> There's apples in two different ways.
First, we've got some slices that are
cooked until they're pliable, bendable,
cuz we're going to arrange these on top.
>> Okay.
>> And then in this skillet, we've got the
rest of the apples. This pie, this tart
uses 10 apples.
>> 10 apples.
>> 10 apples in this tart. So, it's really
good apple flavor. So, these apples are
cooked till they're nice and soft. And
then we're going to use potato masher
>> to mash them. You want to go ahead?
>> Yeah, I like that. I like mashing up
stuff like that.
>> Yeah.
>> And the good thing is you can't mash it
too much.
>> Okay.
>> Good job.
>> So, and you you use the same kind of
crust.
>> Yeah. This is also a pressin tart crust
just like Dan did. So, no rolling it
out, no chilling. Really easy. So, we're
>> You can have your kids help you with
this. They would like this.
>> Absolutely. Oh, yeah. My daughter would
make a full mess out of this. So, we're
going to cook that down until it's
reduced and thickened. And it's going to
look like this. And then we'll put the
filling right into our
>> part.
>> Beautiful.
>> And just spread [music] this out. And
here's the fun part.
>> You use the other apples.
>> We're going to make this pattern. And it
looks intimidating.
>> Yeah, that looks like a lot of work.
>> No, it's really not. You just got to
take your time. Do one at a time. And
we're going to start around the outside.
>> Just work our way around. You just keep
going and it looks like it's going to be
difficult, but you just do one piece by
one piece and then that's what you end
up with.
>> I'm telling you, these are some serious
looking like bakery dessert looking
fields and they're so easy to do.
>> That's what we love. Like like low
input, high output kind of desserts and
they look amazing. Very, very simple.
But we got to finish things up with a
drink.
>> You brought us a spiced cranberry drink.
What we got here?
>> It's a spiced cranberry orange punch.
>> Ooh.
>> And what's really fun about it, it's got
cranberry seltzer, orange juice, [music]
cranberry juice. It's a zero proof
cocktail. So, it's perfect for
Thanksgiving when you're going to be
cooking all day.
>> And it's got this beautiful.
>> So, this is this is one of one of
>> I'm glad we said zero proof cocktail.
Good for cooking. Oo, I like a little
proof in mine.
>> So, so we've got both in our book.
>> Start that out so you can
>> absolutely gorgeous.
>> That's the ice ring, right?
>> Yeah. And then Lighty's going to garnish
this one up here. So, this is one of 50
uh zero proof drinks here, but we also
have 350 proof drinks. If you want those
in cocktail, but this is like so
festive, wonderful for a party.
>> Like, let's get you a drink.
>> Let's do have a drink here. Spiced
cranberry. Let's check. I love I love
this ice ring. And I, you know, I'm
pretty sure it's simple to do cuz
everything you do is it looks
incredible. Simple, tastes delicious.
And cheers to you both to an easy and
wonderful Thanksgiving.
Is [snorts] that good?
>> This is a fine fine alcohol-free
beverage. Okay. And you you know what
