It's a little bit of an older ship, 55 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 3: but it was so much fun. And this is also 56 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,360 Speaker 3: my first time cruising in the fall like I usually 57 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 3: do summer, So being in the fall was a little 58 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,640 Speaker 3: bit of a different experience too, because number one, it 59 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 3: wasn't a million people on the boat, and I appreciated that, 60 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 3: like it was space.

We know that 100 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 3: Thanksgiving is this great November American holiday, and I'm so 101 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 3: sick of people who be trying to prioritize Christmas over Thanksgiving. 102 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 3: And you know what, I actually have to sit down 103 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:57,919 Speaker 3: and think about this, shirl. I was like, why in 104 00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,880 Speaker 3: the world do people just want to skip over Thanksgiving? 105 00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,479 Speaker 3: And I figured it out. I think it's the commercialism 106 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 3: because as soon as Halloween is over, the first thing 107 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 3: everybody do was put up all this. 108 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:09,040 Speaker 2: Christmas stuff in their stores. 109 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 3: And Christmas is more of like a global holiday, Like 110 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 3: everybody in the world at some point celebrate Christmas because 111 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 3: of the whole religious connotation to it, the background, the 112 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 3: actual like it is actually supposed to be celebrating the 113 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 3: birth of Jesus. And Thanksgiving is really just some American shit, 114 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,919 Speaker 3: Like everybody over the world ain't really celebrating Thanksgiving, like 115 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:29,479 Speaker 3: that's some stuff that we do. They ain't got no 116 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:31,280 Speaker 3: way to make money off of it, they don't have 117 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:33,360 Speaker 3: no way to really commercialize it. I mean outside of 118 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 3: people buying stuff in groceries like like the grocery stores 119 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 3: selling out. It's just no real reason for retailers to 120 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 3: make any money. And I think that's why they'd be 121 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 3: trying to disrespect Thanksgiving. 122 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:44,760 Speaker 2: And I don't like it. 123 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 3: That's a very very very good point, and I don't 124 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 3: like it. You know, you and I talked a little 125 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:52,960 Speaker 3: bit about it too. 126 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:57,480 Speaker 1: I don't celebrate Thanksgiving like I used to, like when 127 00:05:57,520 --> 00:05:59,840 Speaker 1: I was younger, and you know, my mom was doing 128 00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 1: all that cooking and all the things, because you know, 129 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 1: I was raised to think Thanksgiving was one thing. 130 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 2: Yep. 131 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 1: And as I've gotten older and wiser and smarter and 132 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 1: learned my history on my own, it ain't what we 133 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:20,960 Speaker 1: thought it was. To eat his in her own. I 134 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 1: will cook right because we got to eat, period. I 135 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,839 Speaker 1: don't care what day it is, so I won't be 136 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:27,719 Speaker 1: doing the cooking. 137 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 3: But yeah, I'm not. 138 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 1: The one that sends all the happy Thanksgiving messages and 139 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 1: images and quotes and all those things to people. 140 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,599 Speaker 3: So yeah, that ain't me.

So it's like it's 504 00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:12,920 Speaker 3: which is which is why I didn't say yams for Thanksgiving, 505 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:16,520 Speaker 3: because like I can have yams on Tuesday, so it's 506 00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:19,359 Speaker 3: like it's not a musk, but it's a much for me. 507 00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:23,520 Speaker 3: On Thanksgiving, I will cook the cook girl. 508 00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:27,119 Speaker 1: I cook greens every day almost, but those are still 509 00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:31,120 Speaker 1: my musk on on Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. 510 00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:35,160 Speaker 2: I think some things that I might switch out. 511 00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:39,359 Speaker 3: It's like I am not a mashed potato girl on Thanksgiving. 512 00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:42,520 Speaker 3: Like I can go to Applebee's and get mashed potatoes. 513 00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:45,480 Speaker 3: Like it's not like there are some people who really 514 00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:48,359 Speaker 3: love and enjoy mashed potatoes on Thanksgiving, and I'm just like, 515 00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:51,800 Speaker 3: what are we doing here?

So like that's what I 535 00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:48,640 Speaker 3: try to do, like substitute something one thing for the other. 536 00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:52,000 Speaker 3: So that is not exactly the same. But for the 537 00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,560 Speaker 3: most part, we eating the same shit. Black people eat 538 00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:58,280 Speaker 3: the same shit every ourday. Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas. 539 00:27:57,760 --> 00:27:58,600 Speaker 2: We eat the same shit. 540 00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:02,760 Speaker 3: You know what I tiped do though, is like I 541 00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:07,720 Speaker 3: I love brisket, so for Christmas we do a brisket. 542 00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:12,879 Speaker 1: I'm just over turkey, Like I don't have to have turkey, 543 00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:16,280 Speaker 1: Like we're we're in the rule book. Does it say 544 00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:20,760 Speaker 1: on Thanksgiving you you have to have a turkey. 545 00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:24,760 Speaker 2: I'm just saying, I'm I'm over turkey. I'm just over. No, 546 00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:26,200 Speaker 2: I'm over. I'm good. 547 00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:28,600 Speaker 1: Give me a brisket, I like, I like, I like, 548 00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:30,119 Speaker 1: give me some fried chicken. 549 00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:34,240 Speaker 3: I'm good. Oh, I ain't got to have turkey. I don't. 550 00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:35,160 Speaker 2: I know that's right. 551 00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:39,080 Speaker 3: So so here's the other thing too, that I think 552 00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:43,160 Speaker 3: it's important for us to share Thanksgiving, Christmas, whatever holiday 553 00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:46,680 Speaker 3: it is, but specifically around this time, people tend to 554 00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:50,680 Speaker 3: also as much as they enjoy family, they understand that 555 00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:53,240 Speaker 3: they're family members who are missing. And so I didn't 556 00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:55,440 Speaker 3: want to end this podcast or come to the close 557 00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:59,400 Speaker 3: of this podcast without you know, saying, it is incredibly 558 00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:03,800 Speaker 3: difficult to enjoy the holidays sometimes if you recently lost someone, 559 00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:06,760 Speaker 3: or if someone who is typically there isn't there. You know, 560 00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:09,719 Speaker 3: I lost my father around Christmas, and so Christmas never 561 00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:12,040 Speaker 3: hits the same. The month of December just never hits 562 00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:18,480 Speaker 3: the same because of that. But while there may be 563 00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:21,960 Speaker 3: holiday blues, I just want people to know that you 564 00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:25,920 Speaker 3: can always find something positive to focus on, and that 565 00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:29,040 Speaker 3: is usually the people who are still around people who 566 00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:32,520 Speaker 3: are still there. So if you've got children, you've got grandchildren, 567 00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:36,080 Speaker 3: if you've got sisters, brothers, and even people that are 568 00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:39,920 Speaker 3: family that aren't blood, you know, find ways to celebrate 569 00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,800 Speaker 3: those who are still living, still breathing, still around that 570 00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:45,320 Speaker 3: you can still create and make memories with, and not 571 00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:48,960 Speaker 3: so much focus on those who are no longer with us. 572 00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:52,280 Speaker 2: I mean, I think there are sometimes people find. 573 00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:54,480 Speaker 3: It really difficult to get into the holiday spirit because 574 00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:58,320 Speaker 3: of that, but they're not alone. There are so many 575 00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:02,640 Speaker 3: people who go through the high they blues, but fine there. 576 00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:07,000 Speaker 3: I am confident that there are those who would love 577 00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:10,040 Speaker 3: to celebrate with you and make you smile and build 578 00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:12,880 Speaker 3: positive memories with you that you know, don't sit in 579 00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:16,880 Speaker 3: your phone too long, is what I'm trying to say. Yeah, listen, 580 00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:20,000 Speaker 3: I don't really care when you've lost a loved one. 581 00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:22,600 Speaker 3: I lost my mom. 582 00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:26,880 Speaker 1: Man, seems like it was yesterday, but I lost my 583 00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:30,960 Speaker 1: mom over ten years ago. And you know, holidays just 584 00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:35,520 Speaker 1: don't hit the same mother's day, birthday, her birthday, my birthday, 585 00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:38,800 Speaker 1: because you always think about and remember, you know, the 586 00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:39,320 Speaker 1: things that. 587 00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:43,600 Speaker 3: You used to do together. And Thanksgiving is really a 588 00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:46,000 Speaker 3: hard one for me because it was always we went 589 00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:48,280 Speaker 3: to Mama's house and Mama did all the cooking, and 590 00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:50,840 Speaker 3: you know, and I help, But and Christmas the same, 591 00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:55,240 Speaker 3: So you know, I totally agree with you. It is hard, 592 00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,240 Speaker 3: but I do know that our loved ones wouldn't want 593 00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:02,400 Speaker 3: us to sit and be sad and miserable all day. 594 00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:07,440 Speaker 3: So make sure you are surrounding yourself with loved ones 595 00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:12,680 Speaker 3: and people that you can laugh with and smile with, 596 00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:14,560 Speaker 3: and cry with. 597 00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:33,280 Speaker 1: And celebrate, because that's what holidays are all about. 598 00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:41,760 Speaker 3: So sure, I have a confession to make, make it. 599 00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:44,080 Speaker 3: I make my mother. 600 00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:47,959 Speaker 2: I call my mother.
