I mean, I 0:01:32.680 --> 0:01:35.640 tried IVF, which that didn't really work out too well. 0:01:35.680 --> 0:01:38.080 I'll tell you about that later. My mom's anniversary ten 0:01:38.200 --> 0:01:42.920 year anniversary, you guys, of her passing my Latin Grammy 0:01:43.240 --> 0:01:45.840 win a nomination to the American Grammy. Oh my god. 0:01:45.920 --> 0:01:50.920 That's excited. Um, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year, Oh my god. 0:01:51.040 --> 0:01:53.760 The wrap up of my tour of Harena, Oh my gosh, 0:01:53.760 --> 0:01:56.560 that was so emotional. And yeah, I mean, so much 0:01:56.560 --> 0:01:58.240 has happened. Okay, let's talk a little bit about it. 0:01:58.280 --> 0:02:00.280 Like I said, I VF. I tried it, and I 0:02:00.280 --> 0:02:02.000 don't want to get into it too much right now, 0:02:02.360 --> 0:02:04.000 So I'm gonna have like a full episode on that 0:02:04.040 --> 0:02:07.560 because I think it's important to really just explain certain things. 0:02:07.960 --> 0:02:10.160 So I did start it, but I didn't finish it, 0:02:10.760 --> 0:02:13.080 so I'll tell you about that in another episode. Anyways. Okay, 0:02:13.240 --> 0:02:18.359 So my own's anniversary ten years. I can't say it enough, 0:02:18.360 --> 0:02:20.880 you guys. I can't believe it's already been ten years. 0:02:21.080 --> 0:02:24.519 I can't believe I've lived this long without my mother, 0:02:24.680 --> 0:02:27.280 Like I just don't know how it happened, when it happened. 0:02:27.840 --> 0:02:30.520 I just feel like it's the grace of God that 0:02:31.440 --> 0:02:34.400 poured upon my siblings and I to like help us 0:02:34.560 --> 0:02:37.360 get through everything. But let me tell you, I have 0:02:37.520 --> 0:02:41.480 felt her more than ever, starting like with the Grammys, 0:02:42.000 --> 0:02:45.160 I always start feeling her a lot, like October, November, December, 0:02:45.200 --> 0:02:47.639 going into the new year. So it's like I've been 0:02:47.880 --> 0:02:50.840 feeling her, you know, these past few months, and so 0:02:50.919 --> 0:02:56.120 much has happened. Two was very, very emotionally draining, I think, 0:02:56.320 --> 0:02:58.400 and I've explained this to you guys in past episodes 0:02:58.440 --> 0:03:00.560 for my siblings and I and everything that's happened. But 0:03:00.639 --> 0:03:03.200 I feel like towards the end of the year, my 0:03:03.280 --> 0:03:05.880 mom really showed up and showed off in all of 0:03:05.919 --> 0:03:08.480 our lives. And it was just beautiful to be able 0:03:08.520 --> 0:03:12.200 to celebrate her life because for her tenth ye anniversary, 0:03:12.280 --> 0:03:15.480 we did not want to mourn her. Although December nine 0:03:15.639 --> 0:03:17.840 is a sad day for us, we didn't want to 0:03:17.880 --> 0:03:21.160 mourn her. We wanted to celebrate her life. So that 0:03:21.280 --> 0:03:24.280 was a beautiful, beautiful moment. I had my siblings over 0:03:24.360 --> 0:03:26.600 my nieces and nephews, and we just wanted to spend 0:03:26.680 --> 0:03:30.840 time together and and celebrate the woman. So that was nice. 0:03:31.200 --> 0:03:32.960 So let's go back a little bit before that though, 0:03:33.000 --> 0:03:35.760 because we have the Latin Grammys. Oh my god. Okay, 0:03:35.920 --> 0:03:40.080 So I won my second Latin Grammy, you guys, and 0:03:41.040 --> 0:03:44.520 the Tuesday before the Latin Grammys, I found out that 0:03:44.560 --> 0:03:48.400 I was nominated for the American Grammy. Dude, that was 0:03:48.680 --> 0:03:53.680 something I hadn't even expected. I wasn't waiting for it. 0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:57.240 I was at the gym working out, getting ready and 0:03:57.280 --> 0:04:00.720 super zoned in on my first performs at the Latin 0:04:00.760 --> 0:04:04.720 Grammys um My nomination. So I was just like so 0:04:04.800 --> 0:04:07.840 engulfed in that. So when I got the call from 0:04:08.000 --> 0:04:11.560 my manager, Mr. Bull Richard Bull, he calls me. He 0:04:11.640 --> 0:04:13.880 never really calls me. We're not like, I'm not a 0:04:13.920 --> 0:04:15.760 phone person anymore of like just text me sort of 0:04:15.760 --> 0:04:17.760 thing or voice note me. So when he called me, 0:04:17.800 --> 0:04:19.800 I was like, Okay, what's going on? So I answered 0:04:20.000 --> 0:04:23.320 and he was like crying, He's probably gonna be super 0:04:23.360 --> 0:04:24.960 bad at me for saying this, but it's the truth. 0:04:25.160 --> 0:04:27.520 He was kind of like, and I'm like, oh my god, 0:04:27.560 --> 0:04:29.920 I swear to you. I thought something happened. I thought 0:04:29.960 --> 0:04:34.040 because Johnny drove to Vegas, so I thought, oh my god, 0:04:34.080 --> 0:04:36.479 did something happened to Johnny? Like right away, my syblies 0:04:36.520 --> 0:04:39.000 came to mind and I'm like, no, it's not. Jennica 0:04:39.080 --> 0:04:40.839 was here, because she was in Vegas with me. I 0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:42.719 was like Jackie, I just spoke to her. I was like, 0:04:42.760 --> 0:04:44.400 it has to be Johnny. But then I'm like no, 0:04:44.560 --> 0:04:46.719 like you know, and he's like and I'm like, what 0:04:46.720 --> 0:04:51.000 what happened? And he's like, we're nominated. I was like what. 0:04:51.600 --> 0:04:53.960 I was like, yeah, I know, We're nominated to Latin Grammy. 0:04:54.000 --> 0:04:56.279 Like he's like, no, no, no no, to the American Grammy. 0:04:56.320 --> 0:04:59.680 I was like what. So he was crying. He couldn't 0:04:59.680 --> 0:05:02.280 even like really like finished the sentence. It was so cute. 0:05:02.279 --> 0:05:04.080 And then I started crying and I got off like 0:05:04.120 --> 0:05:06.800 the freaking elliptical that I was on. I felt to 0:05:06.880 --> 0:05:09.800 my knees. I felt so weak, my legs were trembling 0:05:09.839 --> 0:05:12.560 because I had forgot or maybe I just I didn't 0:05:12.560 --> 0:05:13.920 even know what day I was living in you guys, 0:05:13.960 --> 0:05:18.040 I was just so focused and it was just a beautiful, 0:05:18.279 --> 0:05:22.559 beautiful surprise, and I was just like, Wow, this week, 0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:25.560 I could not get any better, and then it did. 0:05:26.160 --> 0:05:30.200 We won. We performed, we killed it, that song that 0:05:30.279 --> 0:05:35.599 I sang or my song, and then the song it 0:05:35.680 --> 0:05:40.880 came out beautiful. They were so respectful, they are so nice, 0:05:40.920 --> 0:05:45.640 they're so talented. Shout out to them. So the morning 0:05:45.760 --> 0:05:48.560 of November seventeen, the day of the Latin Grammys, we 0:05:48.640 --> 0:05:51.320 had rehearsals. So I went to rehearsals early in the morning, 0:05:52.560 --> 0:05:55.279 and I'm so glad we did rehearsals because I wanted 0:05:55.279 --> 0:05:57.359 it to be like you know, I was singing live 0:05:57.720 --> 0:06:00.560 and I wanted it to be perfect, So that was awesome. 0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:04.760 It went great. Then from there, Um, I don't even 0:06:04.760 --> 0:06:06.800 think I ate much that day, you guys, not because 0:06:06.920 --> 0:06:08.440 I didn't want to eat or feel like I was 0:06:08.480 --> 0:06:10.840 gonna feel bloated. I just wasn't really hungry. I was 0:06:10.880 --> 0:06:15.200 just so excited, so focused that I probably picked out 0:06:15.200 --> 0:06:17.440 a few things. But anyways, I went into hair and 0:06:17.480 --> 0:06:23.640 makeup fairly early because after rehearsals we had I think 0:06:23.640 --> 0:06:26.599 hair and makeup was at one and we stopped rehearsals 0:06:26.600 --> 0:06:29.320 at twelve thirty. We finished rehearsals at twelve thirty, So anyways, 0:06:29.320 --> 0:06:31.440 everything was kind of running a little late, and I 0:06:31.520 --> 0:06:33.719 wanted to be at they have like a pre show 0:06:34.200 --> 0:06:37.560 where my category was a part of. So there's a 0:06:37.600 --> 0:06:39.840 pre show of the Latin Grimes and there's a big show. 0:06:40.320 --> 0:06:41.880 So I was a little bummed out. I'm not gonna 0:06:41.880 --> 0:06:43.520 lie because I was like, oh, I wish it was 0:06:43.560 --> 0:06:46.120 like part of the big show. But I'm so happy 0:06:46.160 --> 0:06:48.000 that it turned out that way because it worked out 0:06:48.000 --> 0:06:51.800 so perfectly. So while I was getting ready, I wanted 0:06:51.800 --> 0:06:54.559 to get ready really quick so that I could be 0:06:54.720 --> 0:06:57.960 at the pre show too, maybe hopefully you know, get 0:06:58.000 --> 0:07:00.479 my award and have it their physic glee and be 0:07:00.480 --> 0:07:03.320 able to give my you know, my acceptance speech. But 0:07:03.600 --> 0:07:05.320 everything was running behind, so I was like, you know what, 0:07:05.320 --> 0:07:06.920 I'm just gonna relax. I'm gonna watch it on the 0:07:06.960 --> 0:07:09.320 laptop because it was live, and then that's how we 0:07:09.360 --> 0:07:11.920 found out. And it was perfect because my whole team 0:07:11.960 --> 0:07:14.800 was there. I didn't even know that everyone was recording 0:07:14.840 --> 0:07:18.280 until afterwards. Everyone had their phones on, like and I think, 0:07:18.760 --> 0:07:20.320 I think, oh, it's it's on Instagram, you guys. You 0:07:20.320 --> 0:07:22.200 guys could go check it out, like the actual video 0:07:22.240 --> 0:07:26.000 where I'm like, you know what, it's okay, it's okay, 0:07:26.320 --> 0:07:29.560 but anyways, we won, and it was awesome because then 0:07:29.600 --> 0:07:31.840 I just finished getting ready for the Red carpet, which 0:07:31.840 --> 0:07:33.600 I wore that beautiful gold dress, and I think it's 0:07:33.640 --> 0:07:35.960 the best freaking dress that I wore in my life. 0:07:35.960 --> 0:07:39.239 It's the best Red carpet that I've ever experienced, because 0:07:39.880 --> 0:07:42.120 that pressure of am I gonna win or not was 0:07:42.200 --> 0:07:44.360 completely off because I had already won. So everyone was 0:07:44.400 --> 0:07:48.360 congratulating me and I was just chilling on the red carpet. 0:07:48.360 --> 0:07:50.160 I was like, oh my god, the questions, We're gonna 0:07:50.160 --> 0:07:52.680 just be super chill. It's about my nomination and that's 0:07:52.680 --> 0:07:54.800 all it was. That everyone loved my dress. We won 0:07:54.920 --> 0:07:58.000 Best Dress. Hey, shout out to Ricky, my stylists, and 0:07:58.040 --> 0:08:01.080 also the designer Ray Ortiz. My glam team was on 0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:04.120 point that day. The entire look for the Latin Grammys, 0:08:04.240 --> 0:08:08.920 I feel like, was just top tier. I felt so beautiful. 0:08:09.520 --> 0:08:11.000 I don't know if that's conceited to say, but I 0:08:11.040 --> 0:08:13.360 felt so beautiful. I felt like it was just so 0:08:13.400 --> 0:08:17.239 different for me. Everything the hair, even the makeup, the dress, 0:08:17.360 --> 0:08:19.720 but that's how I pictured it. I wanted to be 0:08:19.800 --> 0:08:22.280 the Grammy. I was like, you know what, even if 0:08:22.280 --> 0:08:24.600 we don't take it home, I am still an award. 0:08:24.960 --> 0:08:27.080 I am still a trophy. So I want to look 0:08:27.080 --> 0:08:29.640 like a Grammy. So that was my inspiration. And I 0:08:29.680 --> 0:08:31.720 looked up a dress and we changed a few things, 0:08:31.760 --> 0:08:33.000 and I sent it to Ricky and I said, I 0:08:33.080 --> 0:08:35.400 want gold. I want to be dripping in gold because 0:08:35.400 --> 0:08:40.040 it represents the gold Latin Grammy and it also represents Honey. 0:08:40.400 --> 0:08:42.960 So that was my whole inspo behind it. The makeup, 0:08:42.960 --> 0:08:46.080 I wanted it super clean. The hair I wanted it up. 0:08:46.120 --> 0:08:48.600 I never do my hair up. It's very rare when 0:08:48.600 --> 0:08:49.920 I do my hair up for a red carpet. But 0:08:49.920 --> 0:08:52.160 I wanted everything to just be super elegant. And I 0:08:52.160 --> 0:08:54.319 think we just freaking we fucking killed it. You guys. 0:08:54.920 --> 0:08:58.040 Shout out to Team Thrive, to Jessica, Tony, Ricky, all 0:08:58.080 --> 0:09:00.440 the team, Oh me, everyone killed it. That day was 0:09:01.040 --> 0:09:04.360 uh amazing, amazing. It was just a beautiful week. You 0:09:04.400 --> 0:09:07.760 guys so successful. Then after the Latin Grammys, after we won, 0:09:08.280 --> 0:09:10.360 I performed at the House of Blues and I think 0:09:10.360 --> 0:09:13.880 I gave the best performance of my life. Becky g 0:09:14.080 --> 0:09:17.480 surprised me. I'm on thee I was there at the show. 0:09:17.600 --> 0:09:19.880 I had so many friends and family that drove in 0:09:19.920 --> 0:09:22.000 to just go see me at the House of Blues. 0:09:22.440 --> 0:09:26.360 Like everyone was just like went as like, she's gonna 0:09:26.360 --> 0:09:28.240 win and we're gonna celebrate her. So we all put 0:09:28.280 --> 0:09:32.160 that positive energy out there. Yeah, because my my I 0:09:32.240 --> 0:09:35.240 call my pastors, you know, mom and dad.

But again, 0:10:54.000 --> 0:10:57.400 and now that we're talking about and everything, let me 0:10:57.400 --> 0:11:03.120 tell you guys about my last show So and did 0:11:03.200 --> 0:11:06.760 on December three. I was in Nashville on December two. 0:11:06.840 --> 0:11:10.920 That show was freaking amazing. The crazy thing is I 0:11:10.960 --> 0:11:13.920 wanted to get in early to Nashville because I wanted 0:11:13.960 --> 0:11:16.440 to go sight seeing and shal you know, I want 0:11:16.480 --> 0:11:18.160 to kind of like open my horizons a little bit 0:11:18.160 --> 0:11:19.920 more because usually I'm that girl that stays in the 0:11:19.960 --> 0:11:22.280 hotel I work out, I relaxed. I was like, I 0:11:22.320 --> 0:11:24.520 don't want to do that. I want to go see Nashville. 0:11:24.600 --> 0:11:28.040 It's like freaking music city. Nope, I got there. We 0:11:28.040 --> 0:11:30.360 got in late the night before and the day of 0:11:30.400 --> 0:11:33.439 the show. On the second, I was like so exhausted. 0:11:33.600 --> 0:11:36.760 I slept the entire freaking day. I didn't get out 0:11:36.760 --> 0:11:40.319 of bed, I kid you, not until like probably five 0:11:40.360 --> 0:11:43.600 o'clock in the evening. I ate in bed. I was 0:11:43.679 --> 0:11:47.000 just so I think tired. I don't know, because November 0:11:47.040 --> 0:11:50.200 was such a heavy month. We did so much, thank God, 0:11:50.880 --> 0:11:52.640 so I was just like, oh my god, I just 0:11:52.679 --> 0:11:57.560 need to rest. So I slept the whole day. Anyways, 0:11:57.559 --> 0:11:59.720 I want to go work out. Then I started getting 0:11:59.720 --> 0:12:01.559 ready for hair and makeup. I didn't even go to 0:12:01.640 --> 0:12:04.160 sound check that day, you guys, But I'm so glad 0:12:04.360 --> 0:12:06.760 that I rested. I was like, I need all of 0:12:06.800 --> 0:12:10.040 the energy because in a way, after the Latin Grammys, 0:12:10.600 --> 0:12:12.920 my brain was kind of in like vacation mode, so 0:12:13.320 --> 0:12:16.280 like finishing those shows, I needed all of my energy. 0:12:16.400 --> 0:12:19.440 So anyways, um, Nashville was amazing. The crowd there was 0:12:19.840 --> 0:12:24.640 freaking lit, literally like a titty so lit, amazing, amazing, 0:12:24.679 --> 0:12:28.280 amazing crowd. We had a blast, and then the next 0:12:28.320 --> 0:12:30.800 day we went to Greensville. Were at the airport all 0:12:30.880 --> 0:12:35.080 day on the third, but everything worked out nicely because 0:12:35.800 --> 0:12:38.240 I was actually usually I gone stage at the night 0:12:38.240 --> 0:12:41.600 clubs like twelve thirty in the morning and that's really 0:12:41.600 --> 0:12:43.920 heavy because it's like twelve thirty two, like two o'clock. 0:12:44.440 --> 0:12:47.240 But I decided not to close the shows, um because 0:12:47.240 --> 0:12:50.240 I did these last two shows with Golden Companiello, which 0:12:50.240 --> 0:12:51.719 you guys have to listen to his music if you 0:12:51.720 --> 0:12:55.320 would never have. His name is got nun amazing, He's trending. 0:12:55.400 --> 0:12:58.480 His dreams are crazy on Spotify and anyways, check them out. 0:12:58.760 --> 0:13:00.840 So I had him closed because I was like, you 0:13:00.840 --> 0:13:02.800 know what, let me, let me go on first. But 0:13:02.840 --> 0:13:05.440 it was awesome because I was the one getting the 0:13:05.440 --> 0:13:07.880 crowd lit, you know what I mean. Like I was like, hey, 0:13:07.920 --> 0:13:10.280 you guys, he's coming after me, like get lit. So 0:13:10.320 --> 0:13:13.959 we were drinking and that show again, like I did 0:13:14.040 --> 0:13:16.280 something that I never do. I I got on my 0:13:16.320 --> 0:13:19.040 knees and I was dancing like a little like stripper. 0:13:19.840 --> 0:13:21.480 It was I don't even know where that came from. 0:13:21.480 --> 0:13:24.520 Every show on a tour is different, Like there's certain 0:13:24.559 --> 0:13:27.880 things that I say, like the outline of the show 0:13:28.000 --> 0:13:29.839 is always the same, Like I know what I want 0:13:29.840 --> 0:13:32.320 to say, but I always just go and I wean it, 0:13:32.440 --> 0:13:33.880 you know what I mean. Like I'm like I want 0:13:33.920 --> 0:13:36.000 to say what I feel in my heart in that moment. 0:13:36.040 --> 0:13:38.440 I want to do whatever it comes to me. I 0:13:38.480 --> 0:13:40.679 don't like to be like a little robot like okay, 0:13:40.679 --> 0:13:42.200 like this is what I gotta do, and this is 0:13:42.200 --> 0:13:43.880 what I have to say at this part. Like no, 0:13:44.080 --> 0:13:46.199 I've never been that type of artist. I never want 0:13:46.200 --> 0:13:47.560 to be that type of artists. Like I want to 0:13:47.600 --> 0:13:50.040 have blocking like where it's like, okay, at this moment, 0:13:50.040 --> 0:13:52.640 I go to this part of the stage. But that's 0:13:52.640 --> 0:13:55.199 the magic of the Aharina experience, you know. It's like 0:13:55.679 --> 0:13:58.040 I just realized we had twenty three shows, which I 0:13:58.080 --> 0:14:00.680 felt they were more like forty shows because we started 0:14:01.600 --> 0:14:04.600 to in April. So I had asked Richard. I was like, 0:14:04.640 --> 0:14:08.040 how many shows have I had. He's like, he's like, 0:14:08.080 --> 0:14:09.520 how how many does it feel like? And I said, oh, 0:14:09.520 --> 0:14:12.520 it feels like like forty at least. And He's like, dude, 0:14:12.559 --> 0:14:14.920 we've only done twenty three. Not only I mean twenty 0:14:14.960 --> 0:14:16.880 three a lot. You know, I'm very proud of myself, 0:14:17.320 --> 0:14:19.920 but it felt like more. And I have fans that 0:14:20.000 --> 0:14:23.600 have gone to like ten of those shows, have driven 0:14:23.720 --> 0:14:26.080 take flights to go see me. And I always asked him, 0:14:26.200 --> 0:14:27.920 you don't get tired of me, and they're like, no, 0:14:28.480 --> 0:14:30.320 it's crazy because i feel like I'm seeing you for 0:14:30.360 --> 0:14:33.960 the first time every time, and that is like mission 0:14:33.960 --> 0:14:36.840 accomplished for me. So I'm very proud. It was very sad, 0:14:36.840 --> 0:14:42.560 a bittersweet moment to like end my tour part one 0:14:42.840 --> 0:14:45.600 because I'm actually going to do part two in this year. 0:14:47.000 --> 0:14:49.080 I'll tell you guys more about that because there's a 0:14:49.120 --> 0:14:53.600 lot coming. But I was sad, but in a way, 0:14:53.640 --> 0:14:55.880 I was happy because I felt like I needed that break, 0:14:55.960 --> 0:14:57.800 you know. I was like, I'm sad, I'm gonna miss 0:14:57.840 --> 0:15:01.120 being on stage, but I've I've I've needed this break 0:15:01.200 --> 0:15:04.960 to kind of just plan you guys because i want 0:15:04.960 --> 0:15:08.480 to switch up the show completely. So I've already been 0:15:08.480 --> 0:15:11.120 writing things down how i want to change it, What 0:15:11.280 --> 0:15:14.280 songs I want to add, the Chickenese fans out there, 0:15:14.400 --> 0:15:17.160 I want to add marquarri that to this next, you know, 0:15:18.160 --> 0:15:21.320 tour part two, so a lot of surprises. So I'm 0:15:21.360 --> 0:15:24.280 going to be going to Brownsville again, hopefully for like 0:15:24.320 --> 0:15:28.520 a week to practice with the band in Brownsville, Texas 0:15:29.080 --> 0:15:32.680 to bring you guys an even better show. So that 0:15:32.840 --> 0:15:36.480 was awesome, But I'm grateful. I'm grateful for everyone that 0:15:36.520 --> 0:15:40.560 went to my part one. Thank you guys. I love 0:15:40.600 --> 0:15:43.160 you guys so much. And wait for it, wait for it. 0:15:43.160 --> 0:15:45.720 This year we're coming back. We're coming back with fire, 0:15:45.760 --> 0:15:49.120 God willen. But yeah, okay, so what else can we 0:15:49.160 --> 0:15:52.760 talk about? Oh? Well, Thanksgiving? So Thanksgiving with awesome. I 0:15:52.880 --> 0:15:55.840 had Thanksgiving at my house. It's my favorite holiday. I 0:15:55.880 --> 0:15:58.200 love to cook. I fried a turkey, I baked a 0:15:58.200 --> 0:16:02.160 turkey and just secret mean us. My big turkey was 0:16:02.320 --> 0:16:05.160 very good. In the breast area, it was very delicious, 0:16:05.240 --> 0:16:09.480 very flavorful. But on the leg side and last berras, 0:16:09.560 --> 0:16:11.600 it was undercooked. Oh my god. I was so embarrassed. 0:16:11.840 --> 0:16:15.800 No manches. Everyone was getting like, you know, the freaking breast. 0:16:16.080 --> 0:16:18.240 It was all beautiful and juicy and then okay, I 0:16:18.240 --> 0:16:20.160 want some leg and it was pink. Oh my god. 0:16:20.160 --> 0:16:21.760 I had to put it back in the oven. I 0:16:21.800 --> 0:16:24.880 was so embarrassed because I had my family, my siblings 0:16:24.880 --> 0:16:27.080 and the kids and like my my my little family, 0:16:27.360 --> 0:16:29.600 and then we had a Medio's family over for the 0:16:29.640 --> 0:16:32.760 first time. So it was like our first Thanksgiving together, 0:16:32.840 --> 0:16:34.360 you know, because last year I didn't have things Giving 0:16:34.360 --> 0:16:35.680 in my house because my house is a mess. I 0:16:35.680 --> 0:16:37.960 was still moving in so whatever. Not last year. But 0:16:38.920 --> 0:16:41.400 so anyways, this past Thanksgiving, like I was like, I 0:16:41.440 --> 0:16:43.760 really this my favorite holiday I want to host, and 0:16:43.840 --> 0:16:45.640 like I did this. I went all out. I got 0:16:45.680 --> 0:16:49.080 the house decorated, I cooked, my sister cooked, we all 0:16:49.160 --> 0:16:52.680 kind of cooked. And I was just so freaking embarrassed. 0:16:52.680 --> 0:16:57.560 But a Winnow. The fried turkey came out delicious, so good, 0:16:57.600 --> 0:17:00.360 you guys, like I did it like Casian style, so 0:17:00.400 --> 0:17:04.520 I buttered it up, putcation sauce, like all this seasoning rico. 0:17:04.800 --> 0:17:07.160 I also made like scallop potatoes for the first time. 0:17:07.280 --> 0:17:09.960 If you've never tried them, Oh my gosh, I swear 0:17:09.960 --> 0:17:13.159 to you. I would love to know how much butter 0:17:13.400 --> 0:17:17.040 is sold for Thanksgiving, for like Thanksgiving time, how much 0:17:17.119 --> 0:17:20.560 fucking butter because every recipe I don't know how much 0:17:20.640 --> 0:17:25.240 butter and freaking cream cheese and all this shit. Well 0:17:25.280 --> 0:17:27.719 not ship because it's so delicious. I love dairy products. 0:17:27.760 --> 0:17:29.280 I try not to eat them too much because they're 0:17:29.280 --> 0:17:32.600 not necessarily I feel like great for our like health. 0:17:32.680 --> 0:17:35.240 I mean, with keto, I eat it, but not as much. Anyways, 0:17:35.359 --> 0:17:38.119 that's a whole our conversation. But I was like, dude, 0:17:38.160 --> 0:17:40.560 everything has butter. I put so much butter in the 0:17:40.560 --> 0:17:43.879 scallet potatoes. I made cream of corn, and then Jennica 0:17:43.920 --> 0:17:46.000 told me how much better she used on the mashed potatoes. 0:17:46.640 --> 0:17:48.800 And then she made mac and cheese. No, no no, no, anyways, 0:17:48.840 --> 0:17:50.800 I'm curious to know. One day, I need to find 0:17:50.800 --> 0:17:54.720 out how much butter is sold around Thanksgiving time. Anyways, 0:17:54.840 --> 0:17:59.480 we played, we played. It was freaking awesome, you guys, 0:17:59.560 --> 0:18:01.960 it was. It was a great time. I am so grateful. 0:18:02.680 --> 0:18:04.480 And one thing I do regret we didn't do was 0:18:04.520 --> 0:18:06.399 we didn't go around the table, just maybe because there 0:18:06.440 --> 0:18:08.040 was like a lot of us, I want to say, 0:18:08.040 --> 0:18:12.880 maybe like a good forty and usually we go around 0:18:12.880 --> 0:18:15.440 the table and ask each person what are you grateful for? 0:18:15.600 --> 0:18:19.320 And that's the only thing I missed this year. But anyways, 0:18:19.480 --> 0:18:24.560 it was beautiful. Thanksgiving has been my favorite holiday since 0:18:24.640 --> 0:18:27.360 I could remember. I love Christmas, don't get me wrong. 0:18:27.400 --> 0:18:30.680 I love the feeling of Christmas and everything, but Thanksgiving 0:18:30.920 --> 0:18:33.119 is like you don't have to give someone a gift. 0:18:33.200 --> 0:18:35.800 It's since you're just getting together and it's a day. 0:18:35.800 --> 0:18:38.680 And I think we should all be grateful every single day. 0:18:38.880 --> 0:18:41.080 You know what, I mean, like have an attitude of gratitude. 0:18:41.520 --> 0:18:43.439 That's like the best way to live. But there's a 0:18:43.520 --> 0:18:46.679 designated day to say, hey, let me stop whatever it 0:18:46.720 --> 0:18:49.679 is that I'm doing and analyze and reflect on my 0:18:49.720 --> 0:18:55.240 life and be thankful for what I have, not for 0:18:55.359 --> 0:18:57.880 what I want, not for what I desire, not for 0:18:58.040 --> 0:19:01.000 what I want in five years or ten years. You're 0:19:01.040 --> 0:19:04.040 living in the moment and saying thank you God for X, 0:19:04.200 --> 0:19:07.159 Y and Z, even the most simplest things, like just 0:19:07.320 --> 0:19:10.240 things that I think we overlook sometimes, like even being 0:19:10.280 --> 0:19:12.760 able to to do this, like speak there, you know 0:19:12.800 --> 0:19:16.119 what I mean, like use our our our voice, things 0:19:16.160 --> 0:19:18.240 like that that I think we overlook and we take 0:19:18.240 --> 0:19:20.520 for granted sometimes. And it's just like it's that designated 0:19:20.560 --> 0:19:23.600 day to do that. And it's like coming together to 0:19:23.760 --> 0:19:26.520 eat because I love to eat and I love to 0:19:26.600 --> 0:19:30.240 cook and I love Thanksgiving dinner. I love Thanksgiving dinner. 0:19:30.280 --> 0:19:33.840 I love potatoes, I love gravy, I love turkey. It's 0:19:33.880 --> 0:19:37.119 just like it's my thing. So I don't know, I 0:19:37.160 --> 0:19:40.440 just feel like there's something so beautiful and magical, even 0:19:40.480 --> 0:19:43.680 more so than Christmas about Thanksgiving. I don't know. I mean, 0:19:43.680 --> 0:19:46.520 in Christmas is like Jesus's birthday. I mean, that's pretty magical. 0:19:46.880 --> 0:19:48.680 But like, I don't know, I just it just makes 0:19:48.680 --> 0:19:50.760 my heart happy. Thanksgiving just makes my heart happy. Like 0:19:50.800 --> 0:19:53.840 everyone knows around me that Thanksgiving is like my favorite holiday. 0:19:53.920 --> 0:19:56.280 So I hope you all had a beautiful Thanksgiving and 0:19:56.320 --> 0:19:58.959 you took that time to just be grateful for what 0:19:59.040 --> 0:20:01.600 you have and you continue with that attitude, especially now 0:20:01.680 --> 0:20:11.840 in this new year. All the holidays were amazing. My 0:20:11.920 --> 0:20:14.359 favorite part of the holidays is just especially now more 0:20:14.400 --> 0:20:17.720 than ever, is just being with my siblings, spending time 0:20:17.760 --> 0:20:20.439 with my partner, with my nieces and nephew, seeing their 0:20:20.480 --> 0:20:24.400 faces on Christmas, opening other gifts. I shopped for everyone, 0:20:24.400 --> 0:20:28.200
