"We see girls around the corners of the Kissing Bridge, kinda checking us out," Patrick recalled in his podcast. "[But] nothing is happening, and I see my brother with his turkey leg. That's not sexy, girls don't like guys eating turkey legs." Patrick continued, sharing that they "head across and I see this terrified look on Al's face. He points behind me and he goes, 'Albert down! Albert down!' I turn around and my brother, in the middle of the Kissing Bridge, is surrounded by girls wanting to kiss Albert. He's still trying to hold the turkey leg, and he's getting kissed by all these girls." 🎬SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox🎬 While Patrick would have loved the idea of being swarmed by girls, Matthew wasn't old enough to find it interesting.

Albert down!' and we run in there like a military squad getting him out to safety," Patrick recalled. "No man left behind, and no turkey leg left behind."
