Henry Winkler’s wife Stacey and daughter Zoe recently teamed up for a new podcast called iHeartRadio’s What in the Winkler?! In the latest episode, the women are joined by Henry, who opened up about some of their family secrets. During the episode, Zoe explained that she would be spending Thanksgiving Day with her husband’s family this year, and while she is always a little sad, her family makes sure to celebrate the day after.

While talking about Thanksgiving, Henry revealed what his absolute favorite sandwich is. He loves the day after Thanksgiving sandwich. It has to be on Wonder Bread and contain turkey (of course!), mayonnaise, cranberry sauce out of a can (no fresh berries in the vicinity!) and stuffing. The secret ingredient is that he fries the leftover stuffing with butter to give it that extra kick.

Henry said that he loves these sandwiches so much, but he eats so many of them that he can’t really look at them other times of the year. During the episode, the family also opened up about some not-so-fun times, including the hardest part of parenting Zoe.

Henry and Stacey admitted that their daughter is very “feisty and headstrong” and would freeze them out if she got angry about something. In addition, she got banned from using taxis in her college hometown for calling so many! Zoe joked that one wasn’t coming fast enough so she called the only other taxi in town, and it got her banned from calling them again.
