Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Because ain't nothing but a cheap bang baby To low
down G.
So we crazy Death grown getsthe label that pays man
Unfatable.
So please don't try to fakethis.
But I'm back to the lecture athand.
Back to the lecture or legendat hand.

Speaker 2 (00:21):
It's been some time so for those of y'all Good, good
, good, but we still good.

Speaker 1 (00:27):
Sure, for those of y'all that are returning or
tuning back in with you what'sup, what's good with you?
I hope life has been treatingyou well.

Speaker 2 (00:37):
How has it been treating you?

Speaker 1 (00:39):
Oh, we don't need to talk about that.

Speaker 2 (00:41):
OK.

Speaker 1 (00:42):
Maybe not on this episode, but Shambu Shambu.
What would that episode bewithout me giving y'all a little
bit of an anecdote to startthat episode?

Speaker 2 (00:53):
Wouldn't be nothing but a G thing.

Speaker 1 (00:54):
It would be.
Other podcasts would be overthere.
You know what I mean.
Stop being a hater, not being ahater.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
I'm just saying the reason why we do what we do over
here is because it makes sense.
I don't know what you do overthere.
I don't listen, but that don'tmean don't listen.

Speaker 1 (01:11):
That's what people listen to.

Speaker 2 (01:12):
I believe they do.

Speaker 1 (01:14):
I think it did numbers.
It will do numbers if I wouldever, or if I bring it back.
But are you on the hiatus?
I don't know what we on.
I've taken a break.

Speaker 2 (01:24):
We ain't good good, but we still good.

Speaker 1 (01:26):
You notice, I've taken a break from social media.
I've taken a break from a lotof things.

Speaker 2 (01:30):
Oh, that makes sense, but not this.

Speaker 1 (01:33):
Yeah, we need to record, because we record and we
don't publish any episodes.

Speaker 2 (01:37):
We got a lot of episodes in the vault.
Deji's just waiting for us tohave more episodes in the vault
so he can post all of them.

Speaker 1 (01:43):
Yeah, it's consistency.

Speaker 2 (01:44):
Correct.

Speaker 1 (01:44):
Consistently, because then, if y'all getting it,
y'all can spread the good wordand you could just tell
everybody that thesemotherfuckers need to get paid
for it.
But back to the lecture or thelegend at hand.
I don't know if we've done anepisode on Thanksgiving, but
little do y'all know, yemi and I.

(02:06):
I would say well, she is verypartial to October Halloween.
That festivities Me.
I'm a Thanksgiving motherfucker.
It falls around the time of mybirthday.
It's one of my favoriteholidays where I get to eat, I
get to chill and I get to bearound some of my favorite
people, which happen to be myfamily.

(02:26):
But back in the day, because meand Yemi were trying to have
some sense of normalcy or maybeI was I used to make the
Thanksgiving dinner.
Yes, so when Yemi be tellingyou I don't know how to cook and
I'd be pregnant?

Speaker 2 (02:45):
What did you?
You used to?

Speaker 1 (02:48):
Yes, make what.

Speaker 2 (02:50):
I used to make.

Speaker 1 (02:51):
Everything.

Speaker 2 (02:51):
No, the word make coming from your mouth is
confusing me, because you'reusing it in a sentence as if
you're the one who was makingthe food.
I was making the food, but whatshe was doing was boiling stuff
At that age, please, please.

Speaker 1 (03:10):
You see how yummy, you see how I'm going to let you
tell a story.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
I want to tell a story.

Speaker 1 (03:13):
You see how your haters will be your motivators
as a young child, because peoplein our family, specifically
Well, I just said make, becauseeverything came out of box.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
I'm really confused.

Speaker 1 (03:22):
So how?
What is it?
What is it?
You're prepared.
Anyways, I would makeThanksgiving dinner.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
I would make everything mashed potatoes the
stuffing cranberry cornbread,everything Out of box.

Speaker 1 (03:35):
Yemi, how are you making cornbread?
You going to go to the fuckingfarm and grind the mill.

Speaker 2 (03:40):
No, ok, then Excuse me, I'm going to get cornmeal,
is that not what?

Speaker 1 (03:44):
I just said.
No, no, no I said you going togo to the farm, you going to get
the cornmeal, you going to mixin with the starch and the flour
and then you going to makeyourself some cornbread.

Speaker 2 (03:52):
No, this is what you do you buy cornmeal, you buy
flour, you buy butter, you buymilk, you buy eggs.
So what is it?
What is it?

Speaker 1 (04:07):
What is the difference?
What is it, what is it?
What is it, what is?

Speaker 2 (04:09):
the difference.

Speaker 1 (04:11):
What is the difference for me taking the
Jiffy corn pop, which is cornbox, cornmeal box?
Ok, what's the differencebetween that, doing everything
you just said?

Speaker 2 (04:24):
Well, I want to figure out where this story
lands, so I won't interjectanymore.
I'm going to figure out wherethis plain lands and I'm going
to just sit here quiet, correct.

Speaker 1 (04:31):
So I would make everything, I would do the one,
two, cook it all day, becausetypically before this my mom
would go to work at Dominic.

Speaker 2 (04:39):
Throwback.

Speaker 1 (04:40):
She'd be there about two or three, my dad would be.

Speaker 2 (04:42):
If y'all know about Dominic's, press the like button
on this video For real for thisepisode.
Oh.

Speaker 1 (04:49):
Yes, this episode Thumbs up.
Write a positive review.
Shout out to.

Speaker 2 (04:52):
Dom.

Speaker 1 (04:52):
I said that because I've been editing a lot of
YouTube videos lately, so alsomake sure you watch our YouTube.
So the day would go.
This is typically the only daythat my dad would wake up early.
For other people, To doanything Correct, correct.

Speaker 2 (05:09):
Correct.

Speaker 1 (05:09):
But at the end of the day and inevitably still was
for him because he was going toeat the turkey.

Speaker 2 (05:15):
So my dad, would wake up early the only time you see
him wake up to cook.

Speaker 1 (05:18):
Yeah, so my dad would wake up early, about 5, 6
o'clock.
The turkey would already beprepared because, well, shambu,
me or my mom would prepare thechicken by putting all the
seasonings.

Speaker 2 (05:31):
Is it chicken or is it turkey?
My?
Part the turkey we would do allthat stuff the day before.

Speaker 1 (05:36):
So then all my dad has to do is come in, preheat
the oven, turn it on, and thenhe'd do his little one, two,
check the da, da da, check theturkey.

Speaker 2 (05:43):
And every year.

Speaker 1 (05:44):
Every year.
Like the turkey was dry, driedin a mud fuck, it still is dry.
Well, he has stopped cooking itnow, but I'm glad he has,
because the turkey wasn't doingall that much.
Let's be real.

Speaker 2 (05:54):
Right right.

Speaker 1 (05:55):
So then I would start cooking about, I would say,
around 11 noonish, would not getdone to about 4 o'clock.

Speaker 2 (06:01):
I thought we wouldn't start cooking until mom got
back.

Speaker 1 (06:04):
No, no, no.
I learned my lesson becauseremember the one time where he
was at, I was cooking until like7 or 8 o'clock and y'all was
like there's your, where can weeat, where can we eat?
And I made the cornbread lateand I rushed the cornbread and
then I had to remake thecornbread.

Speaker 2 (06:18):
Yeah, so that was it.
Because it didn't taste right,it was burnt, it wasn't cooked
up, something was wrong with it.
Yeah, exactly.
And then I tried a little funkyrecipe instead of yeah,
following the box, becausethat's what you do usually no,
you just follow the box.

Speaker 1 (06:31):
I started and I started now Experimenting.
That's the problem.

Speaker 2 (06:34):
The problem is people started experimenting instead
of just following the recipe.
But that's there for a reason.
Ok, you don't experiment onThanksgiving.
Y'all remember that one videowhere the girl fucked up the mac
and cheese.
I don't know what she did, butthe auntie was like you don't
experiment on Thanksgiving Ifyou know you got to cook
something for Thanksgiving andyou want to try a new recipe.

(06:55):
You do that beforehand Anyother holiday, beforehand Easter
, somebody's birthday, that'sbefore Thanksgiving, fourth of
July, juneteenth.
You don't wait for Thanksgivingto experiment with the food,
you don't.
She said you don't fuck up themac and cheese.
And since you did all that, yougot to wash all the dishes.

Speaker 1 (07:15):
So I would do that and I would do that.
That wasn't a particularlyspecial Thanksgiving, right, but
I would do that and I would dothat.
Right after that, I cook, I domy one.
Two, but I would do all thatjust to hear my mom and well,
specifically our mom complainabout how the cooking was not on

(07:36):
par to hers.
So then I was like, well,that's not what you do.
And every year, like clockwork,she's like you could have done
this, you could have done this.
So the one day she have off ayear by choice, keep in mind,
you buy choice.
We not over here like, hey, mom, wednesday are going to be
ready.
We not those type of people weused to be when we were children

(08:00):
, sure, but since we've goneback here as adults, no, we just
be eating.
When we eat, like clockwork, mymom would tell me that the
cooking is not all that rightand it gives a lack of
appreciation.
One, because you didn't have tocook for her entire day.
Two, I don't think I've eversaid that mom's cookie was never

(08:24):
all that in a bag of chips,since I've been eating her food
for now almost 28, about to be29 years of life.
So I say that because shealready got a lot of shade that
she throwing her way to her ownson.
But I even realized it because,as me and my sister have stopped
cooking Thanksgiving, which nowis going on year four of us not

(08:47):
preparing a meal at all ourfamily typically now caters,
shouts out to growth.
We'd love to see blackexcellence, black bourgeoisie.
Our brother will have a wholecatering this year.
We're doing a potluck, stillnot making shit.

Speaker 2 (09:05):
Just make sure, if you're not making anything, and
you're not bringing anything,you send me half the money for
these banana pudding cupcakes.

Speaker 1 (09:11):
Why would I?
I told you what I want.
I want pound cake and ice cream.
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (09:14):
Well, I don't know where you're going to get that
from.
Niggas is talking about it.
Are you going to buy it andbring it over there?

Speaker 1 (09:19):
I did last year.
I'm just asking Remember theyear I brought pound cake and
nobody touched it?

Speaker 2 (09:23):
but then, as I was about to take it, as you're
about to leave, they say youdon't bring stuff over to
people's house and then leave it, and that's why this time, when
I bring them banana puddingcupcakes, I'm going to make sure
I stash a couple at the housefirst.
I'm like, oh yeah, y'all canhave these, and they're going to
be like it's supposed to be twodozen.

Speaker 1 (09:38):
Well, it's supposed to be some for me Exactly, and
that's why I learned the hardway.
Don't bring food to people'shouses.

Speaker 2 (09:46):
Don't bring food to people's houses, and I'm the
type but that's true, though Imean I don't care about the like
that's a ghetto edit.

Speaker 1 (09:52):
Let's save it.

Speaker 2 (09:53):
That's a ghetto intellectual question.

Speaker 1 (09:55):
Let's save it.

Speaker 2 (09:56):
Let's save it.
Let's save it for that.

Speaker 1 (09:58):
We just gave over the ghetto intellectual circle back
.
We'll have to remember.
But now, as we haveThanksgiving at my brother's
house, which he usually haspeople over, something that he
has always wanted to do haveeverybody host Thanksgiving and
have everybody come to his crib,because, for whatever reason,
my brother don't like being outthe house.
So now we do that, we get itcatered, we do all these things.

(10:20):
My mom still complained aboutthe cooking, and we all know
that the cooking is fire.
So now I'm starting to realizethat Shorty just got a problem
with being grateful.

Speaker 2 (10:32):
Hold on being thankful.

Speaker 1 (10:35):
Ooh, even better.
But I did grateful because it'snothing but a G.
But, like I said, shorty's gota wrong.
She just does not understandwhat it is to be thankful.
And that that inevitably leadsinto one of my favorite holidays
, not because of the food, butreally because of the community
and what we used to do but sincewe've gotten older we haven't

(10:59):
really done it is that we usedto go to party.
To party, and that was one ofmy favorite things.
My brother would come and getus.

Speaker 2 (11:07):
Are you thinking about Thanksgiving or Christmas?
It's both.
We've done them for both.

Speaker 1 (11:12):
But typically during the holidays we just go to
parties, house hopping parties.
It doesn't matter where.
It is Chicago South Side, Iknow that's also Chicago.
But you know South Suburbs,even if it's out here.
We've gone to Naperville Joints.
You know, all around the worldwe see our people.
All around Chicago we see ourparents' people.
And then I always go back tothe only Thanksgiving we

(11:35):
actually traveled for, which wasa family reunion when we went
to Atlanta.

Speaker 2 (11:39):
Yeah, but that was a long time ago.
That was a long time ago.

Speaker 1 (11:42):
So I say all those things because it's the season,
it's that time of the year.

Speaker 2 (11:46):
And we're talking about Thanksgiving.

Speaker 1 (11:49):
Thanksgiving.

Speaker 2 (11:50):
What's this episode going to be called?
Giving Thanks?
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (11:53):
It's a good idea.
That's a really I don't know.

Speaker 2 (11:57):
Get rid of the dry ass.
Turkey, that's a good one.
Because one thing about it I'mnot put in turkey on my plate.
If I put turkey on my plate,it's really just a formality.
No, I put turkey on my plateevery year, if I put turkey on
my plate.
It's really just a formality.

Speaker 1 (12:09):
I'm there for the sides.
The sides are the main reason Iput turkey on my plate every
year.
No.

Speaker 2 (12:15):
If I put turkey on my plate, it's really just a
formality, and I'm not one ofthose people.
Let's talk about Thanksgiving.
That's what we're talking abouttoday.
Let's talk about Thanksgiving.
I'm not one of those peoplethat feels like they can't go
without eating the whole dayjust so they can save room and
their stomach for things to getbetter.

Speaker 1 (12:32):
Let's stop.
First of all, you've beeneating like you got five
stomachs lately, Lately.

Speaker 2 (12:36):
I don't know what that's about.
What it is about me, but I behungry all the time.
Now I think I'm just goingthrough a change in life.
Is that what it is?

Speaker 1 (12:42):
Maybe.
Well, some might say you'repregnant, but that's not one of
my business.
I'm not pregnant.

Speaker 2 (12:47):
And if I was, I would kill it.
I'm gonna kill it, I'm gonnakill it.
Yay, I'm no shame.

Speaker 1 (12:52):
I'm not saying that for shame.

Speaker 2 (12:54):
But damn God damn.

Speaker 1 (12:56):
As soon as.

Speaker 2 (12:56):
I find out.
Excuse me, shorty, can we eatinto this motherfucker?
Not everything got to be.
I'm just saying I'm not beatingaround the bush, I don't have
time to be raising anybody.

Speaker 1 (13:09):
I am just saying let's eat.

Speaker 2 (13:11):
I'm keeping these straights.
I don't have time to be raisinganybody's children.

Speaker 1 (13:14):
So I'm just saying you can eat into it, shorty.

Speaker 2 (13:18):
I don't know why I be so hungry, but I've been
exercising, I've been going tothe gym, so maybe it's a little
bit of that.
I haven't been consistent, butI've been going.
But I've been eating healthier.
So it's not like I'm eatingtrash, eating five meals a day.
It's more so like I just ate asalad with some salmon, I don't
know.

Speaker 1 (13:34):
The last couple of vacations you've been on my
nerves with how much you wannago eat.
I'm like damn.

Speaker 2 (13:39):
Yeah, because you don't wanna eat at all, I'll
have to like beg you to let's goto breakfast.
I have to start the meal.
I have to start my morning withthe.

Speaker 1 (13:47):
Just because you have to start your day with a meal
doesn't mean I.

Speaker 2 (13:51):
Most people have to start their day with a meal, as
opposed to what.
Starting your day with work,opening your laptop and working.

Speaker 1 (13:59):
But first of all, don't be disrespectful, I'm not
being disrespectful.

Speaker 2 (14:02):
I just know that's how you start your day.

Speaker 1 (14:03):
No, and we know how that's been okay.
First of all, I typically don'teat till about three, four
o'clock in the afternoon, wild,I've never been a breakfast
person per se.

Speaker 2 (14:17):
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.

Speaker 1 (14:18):
Says who.

Speaker 2 (14:19):
Says most people.

Speaker 1 (14:21):
Man, I ain't hearing none of that, but you were
talking about how you're not oneof those people that I feel
like you have to save.

Speaker 2 (14:26):
Savor like save.
I'm gonna eat breakfast,regardless of if it's
Thanksgiving.
I'm going to eat lunch too.
If we're not eating until seveno'clock, I'll just eat and then
take a break and then eat againwhen I'm hungry, which will
probably be like 10, 12.
And I'm only putting size on myplate, I'm not putting turkey
on my plate.

Speaker 1 (14:45):
So this is my thing.
When I think about Thanksgiving, two things have always really
annoyed me.
One, the fact that now that ourparents don't even worry about
us making Thanksgiving dinner,that they still make a turkey.
That shit.
Always I would look at my Istill look at my parents to this
day.
I'm like why the fuck are weabout to have 10 pounds of

(15:08):
turkey for the next three orfour months, like we'd be
turkeyed out Like my mom, beputting it in stew like be?

Speaker 2 (15:15):
making sandwiches salad.

Speaker 1 (15:18):
I'm like yo put that shit away.
Dog Like, why is this bird sobig?
So that was the number one, butthe second thing for me has
always been that why the hell?
Cause we're African right.

Speaker 2 (15:31):
I mean, the last time I checked I was Nigerian.

Speaker 1 (15:34):
Okay we're.
Nigerian, african.
Yes, we are part of thediaspora.
I don't know about y'all, buttypically I'm not used to having
dinner before eight o'clock andyou tell me one day out the
year I got to act all fancy outof the see.
This is a shit I don't likeright.
Like what do people say?

(15:55):
They don't like forcedinteraction.
I don't like forced anybody whoknows me.
I don't like forced timetables.

Speaker 2 (16:00):
Like my mom For formality, forced formality.
Like you know, we don't do shitlike this.
Why is today the day you wantto do shit like this?
Exactly, and that's alwaysbehind me.
We all need to come togetherand stand up and pray and talk
about what we thankful for.
Oh, my pasty, pasty, macaroniand cheese.
Exactly, pasty, macaroni andcheese.

Speaker 1 (16:16):
I'm gonna move out of my way and nigga don't even
show up on time to work.
You want me to show up on timefor a meal that happens one time
a year, like, come on, make itmake sense.
You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 2 (16:24):
I do think there is some onus to that If you aren't
the type of people who see yourfamily as often and y'all are
coming together on Thanksgiving.
But we live with our parents.
We see them every day.
Our brother, tunday, lives sixminutes away from us.
He has all his family overthere.
We see our family, honestly,probably too often, which is why

(16:48):
we have some of the tensionsand the things that we have now,
because we are too close.

Speaker 1 (16:55):
No, but I hear what you saying Because, I guarantee
you, me and Yemi are in theprocess of buying homes.
So by the time of this timenext year, hopefully we both out
of this jam.
Yes, I guarantee you.

Speaker 2 (17:10):
I'm gonna be gone regardless, if I don't like it,
if I don't buy a house, I'mgonna still be gone.

Speaker 1 (17:15):
Whatever, but I guarantee you that you will miss
certain aspects of being nearyour family.

Speaker 2 (17:22):
No, I mean, I already think about those things.
I'm not saying that I won'tmiss that.
I would just say that, at thisage that I am now, I don't need
to be living here, and I don'tneed to be here.
What does?

Speaker 1 (17:31):
this mean, because I like to talk about this all the
time.
You be a capper, all right,stage one capper Yemi does so
much things, knowing that shedoesn't have to do everything
yourself, but when you live onyour own, everything will be in
every way.

Speaker 2 (17:44):
Yeah, but I think checks and minuses, or what's it
called Pluses and minuses, Ithink you know Pros and cons.
Pros and cons, all the yingsand the yanks of things, but
what does that have to do withThanksgiving?
This is okay, we can have sidegadgets Relax.

Speaker 1 (18:00):
We only got like 20 minutes in that episode because
I was gonna say regardless ifit's Thanksgiving or any other
day, right?

Speaker 2 (18:09):
One thing that I will always do is, if I know that.

Speaker 1 (18:12):
Yemi is cooking.
I don't care if I live fivemiles away, you gonna find your
way to eat what I'm cooking.

Speaker 2 (18:18):
Yeah, to get a plate, because Yemi does that and I
don't.
Let's, let's, let's, let's saythis Hold on, hold on hold on,
you don't gonna stop me.

Speaker 1 (18:26):
You don't gonna stop me, I'm not gonna stop you.

Speaker 2 (18:28):
I'm just gonna interject real quick, put a
pause in what you're saying.

Speaker 1 (18:31):
Okay, all right.

Speaker 2 (18:31):
And then I'm not putting stop, I'm just putting
pause.
I need you.
I need you.
Hey, come on, shorty, I don'twant you to get your point.
You would do that, but I'm notcoming over to your house to eat
your own food.
So yeah, that's cause.

Speaker 1 (18:43):
That's cause you feel like I don't know how to cook.
That's what I feel.
Everybody who's had my cookinghas said it's been on point.

Speaker 2 (18:49):
Who have you given your cooking to?
I Yemi, I cook, bro.
I cook For who?

Speaker 1 (18:53):
People, dogs no, your goofy as hell.
That's what I'm looking at.

Speaker 2 (18:58):
What was you gonna say?

Speaker 1 (19:00):
Yeah, cause Yemi's been on this whole.

Speaker 2 (19:01):
Then you will travel from highways to byways through
tunnels.
Use the underground railroadjust to make sure he has some of
my food.
Yes, but Because?
Why?
Why?
This is not because me, as anolder brother.

Speaker 1 (19:14):
I feel like no, it's because you have this certain
fixation.
Yemi is literally one of thesepeople.
It doesn't matter who you areas a person.
Like if you eat her food, shegonna have a problem.
Like I'm really thinking aboutthe day where you have your own
family.
Your child could eat off yourplate and you will probably slap
that motherfucker's hand.

Speaker 2 (19:31):
No, no, no.
So I see it, I see it, I see it.

Speaker 1 (19:35):
I see it with Mariah.

Speaker 2 (19:37):
No.

Speaker 1 (19:37):
Mariah, yo, yo, baby, yo, everything, I see you, I
see you.
No, no, no, no, no.
I share everything with my baby.
That's my baby.
I'll tell you, I'll tell you, Ilet you laugh, I let you laugh,
I let you laugh.
Let me say this it's not aboutme.

Speaker 2 (19:52):
I don't have a problem with sharing my food.
No, you do, please.
I didn't interrupt you when youwent.
I let you laugh, right, I letyou laugh.
Hey I don't have a problem withsharing my food when, comma,
you are eating it in front of meand you have let me know that
you are going to eat it.
What?

Speaker 1 (20:12):
the hell is that that's regular, I will cook
something.

Speaker 2 (20:15):
And I will cook something and like if we, if I
cook it and I'm eating and youlike oh, let me just get some
off your plate, no problem,right?
Or if I cook something and Iput it away and you like yummy,
can I have some?
Sure, but Deji will just likesneaky, sneaky ninja, eat my
shit.

(20:35):
And then I'll see a rapper forin the trash.
That's going to upset mebecause I had intentions in my
head on eating.
That.
That's a false narrative.
It's not a false narrative,that's a false narrative, that's
what happened and that's why hebring that up, because he did
that shit to me this week.
That's why he bring this up,that's a false narrative.

Speaker 1 (20:54):
I left some food.

Speaker 2 (20:56):
I left a snack out because I was going to come back
and eat it and I was taking iton my lunch box.
So I will remember to eat itand then it would disappear.
I forgot about it, but I wentto throw something else away in
the trash.

Speaker 1 (21:10):
It wasn't in the trash, I left it on the kitchen
counter actually.

Speaker 2 (21:13):
So you left the rap, you left the evidence on the
kitchen counter.
Why?
Cause you wanted to spite me.

Speaker 1 (21:17):
No, I didn't want to spite you, I forgot about it,
you forgot about it, I forgot.
So let's say, let's take thisone step further.

Speaker 2 (21:24):
It was in the trash.
I said you ate my chips withhoi cookies.
Yes, it was cookies.
I don't give a fuck if it was aReese's cup.
Don't eat my shit if it's myshit, ok.
So let's think, or at least askme first, just so I know.
Ok, I don't have to worry aboutthat food no more, because I
was thinking I'm going to comedownstairs and eat those cookies
.

Speaker 1 (21:42):
OK, so let's take it a step further.
Yevvie's used so much of ourstuff and I did trip about it,
unless it was something reallybig.
You know, like, say, a car, forinstance, I don't need to go
somewhere.
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (21:55):
Stuff like that, but you don't ever really need to
use your car.
When I will use it.

Speaker 1 (22:00):
Sure, I would just say that.
But you needed it more because,look at me, selfless Yevvie
will do this thing where she'llmake you try to feel bad for
eating the food.
For I mean, yeah, you can saywhat it was.
I told him what it was Foreating the snack, so Yevvie was

(22:21):
over here.
Y'all know, for those of y'allthat do remote work or have to
go into the office, I know y'allgot that area where y'all got
all the snacks and you could popin, get a snack, put a load and
then you take as many snacks asyou want because you go snack
on a train.
You go eating in your car,whatever.
You take it back to the crib soyou don't have to buy snacks

(22:42):
for the week, whatever.
Yeah, you eat them at your desk.
Yevvie will both face lie and Iwill catch her in a lie and
then she'll say it doesn'tmatter, did you?
You're wrong, so I ate thosechips ahoy right, it was those
little small little snack packswhere there's maybe like five or
six of the chips ahoy cookiesin it.
Yevvie over here talking aboutsome danger, I bought that.
I said, oh really, you paid adollar.

(23:04):
You paid a dollar for that.
I was like Yevvie, you ain'tpaid no dollar.
She's like, yes, I went to the7-Eleven, I bought me the chips
ahoy and now I can't eat it.
I said, yevvie, why the fuckare you lying bro?
I was like Lily in my head.
I was like why are you lying?
I said I know you went to yourjob.
I know you went to your job.
I know you walked into thatmotherfucking snack room and I

(23:25):
knew you took about three orfour, five of them and you
brought one home and then shewas like Dainty, that shit,
don't matter, what you did waswrong.
And I said I'm not arguing withyou, I'm not arguing the fact
what I did was wrong, that's allit should be.

Speaker 2 (23:41):
I would have to lie.
We would have to be doing allthis chakarane-ness.
We would have to be doing allthis mess If you would have just
left my stuff alone.

Speaker 1 (23:50):
But that's not the point I had.
The point is if you know for afact that you are just trying to
make somebody feel worse yes,you didn't buy them cookies.
You're not buying them chips,or?

Speaker 2 (24:01):
like, even if.

Speaker 1 (24:01):
I didn't buy them cookies.

Speaker 2 (24:02):
Even if I didn't go two minutes to the 7-Eleven.
It's worse, I had to go all theway to the office.
You already know I don't likegoing into the office.
My job says you have to go intothe office.
I don't want to be here, butI'm trying to compromise with
these people.
I don't want them to keepsaying I'm not a team player.

(24:23):
I don't want them to say, oh,she's not coming into the office
, so I go into the office.
Let my reward and let my giftsfor going into the office Be the
tripster who I cook and then Ican eat when I come home.
It's laughing, it's laughing,I'm laughing.
I'm laughing because Yembe hasI thought it'd be my gifts.

(24:46):
I struggle from one to twonights.
I go to the office, I sit there.
I went to the office this day.
Those people literally lookedat me in my face and told me
that Harry Styles' album wasbetter than Beyonce.

Speaker 1 (25:01):
Hey, I'm not listening.
I'm not listening.
We've had this Taylor Swiftversion of me.
I tell you, you can't argue.

Speaker 2 (25:07):
They looked at me in my face.
I said I can't be here becauseI'm uncomfortable, because if
these people are capable ofsaying this, what else are they
capable of?
And you have me breathing thesame air as them.
Let me go home.
Let me go home.
I tell you.

Speaker 1 (25:21):
I just want to go to my bed.
You can't trust people that arenot of the culture.
That's another story, that'sanother tangent.
You feel me?

Speaker 2 (25:28):
OK, ok, but all I'm trying to say is this right?
I don't have a problem withsharing my stuff, but just one
tell me, or two you're going tobe dead.

Speaker 1 (25:38):
This has been your whole entire life?

Speaker 2 (25:39):
If it has been my whole entire life, why do you
keep doing it?
Because, look, you don't give afuck.
Just say you don't give a fuck,just say you don't give a fuck.

Speaker 1 (25:48):
That's not what I'm trying to say.
What you say is you don't givea fuck, so I'm passing it on
these things just keep trying toteach me lessons, and I'm a
grown ass woman.

Speaker 2 (25:55):
Ain't nobody trying to teach you?

Speaker 1 (25:56):
this lesson.
Ain't nobody trying to teachyou this lesson, but as a
younger sibling and as a baby,knowing that you get spoiled,
there's just certain dueprocesses that you have.
I understand that you feel sometype of way.
It's not like I'm eating yourmeals.
I have never eaten a meal thatYemi's been looking forward to.
Say damn Yemi, is she going tobuy some Chipotle?
I don't eat your Chipotle.

(26:17):
I don't be eating anIEchileftover, something that
you've already partake in IE.

Speaker 2 (26:22):
See, that's what Yemi won't tell you, but those chips
always was not open.
That's a different thing, yemi.

Speaker 1 (26:27):
Why are you talking about that?
That's a separate issue.
That's a separate issue.

Speaker 2 (26:31):
Y'all is confused as to me.
Drop a like or like somethingJust drop the issue.

Speaker 1 (26:36):
Drop the issue.
Ok, that's all I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (26:39):
What I'm trying to say is two days for years will
eat my food.
I'm talking about two dayswould make them.

Speaker 1 (26:45):
I would make a meal two days, would eat it Literally
eat it in front of my face Likey'all don't understand.

Speaker 2 (26:52):
If you make some noodles and you was letting them
cool off and dry like you wasletting them dry, don't leave
them for too long, don't fuckwith me If y'all that went to
fucking all these.

Speaker 1 (27:02):
Y'all remember the fucking Kirkwood fucking Hot
Wigs boy?
I used to eat the bitches everyweek, pop them in a microwave
for six minutes, let them cooloff for two minutes, them
bitches gone.
Y'all don't know that type ofpain.
Nigga would bottle me water andI would put barbecue sauce on.
I used to be fucking smashingthem.
I used to have to buy two boxesbecause I had to learn the game

(27:23):
plan Soon.
They would eat the first box.

Speaker 2 (27:26):
I would have the second box Now that I've learned
from two days Y'all doing it tosomebody else.
What kind of shape are you?
You should be shaped upyourself, what, what.
But now you saw what happened.

Speaker 1 (27:40):
Now you want to do it , but I do it smarter.
You see what I said I do itsmarter, I party faster.
Why am I at?

Speaker 2 (27:46):
the gym so high.
Hey, we're open.
They're some fucking chips.

Speaker 1 (27:51):
They are some chips, you see it.
I'm sorry, there's some fuckingcookies.

Speaker 2 (27:54):
They was fucking five .
You're not going to die overfive cookies.
I never said I was going to die.
Do you see what I'm saying?

Speaker 1 (28:00):
I just say I was going to die.
Don't let people make you feelbad.
Ok, you already did.

Speaker 2 (28:04):
You didn't think you wouldn't have felt bad if you
wouldn't have aimed myself.
I didn't feel bad.
Let's pivot, let's pivot.
Let me get back to Thanksgiving, right?
So OK, what's on yourThanksgiving plate?

Speaker 1 (28:14):
That's a good question.

Speaker 2 (28:16):
What's on your first plate?

Speaker 1 (28:17):
Well, it's interesting because since we've
gotten it catered, it'sdifferent, right?
The one year we did freakingcasserole.
I never fucking again, Neverfucking.
I don't know who.
Black people just do regularyams with the brown sugar and
the syrup.
Why the fuck I want all my sweetyams?
Ok, all these marshmallows.
Why the fuck are you all niggastrying to give me diabetes?

(28:40):
Ok, I will throw that shit inthe trash.
And, honestly, when we had itthat one year it was gone in the
trash.
Now I'm going to say this Ilove me some sweet potatoes, so
I got to have that on my plate.
I like turkey.
Typically, we have spaghettinow and I always love spaghetti.
I don't care if y'all don'tthink that's a Thanksgiving meal
.
That's a Thanksgiving dish orside for me.

Speaker 2 (29:01):
People argue that that's not a side for
Thanksgiving.

Speaker 1 (29:04):
Yeah, there's a lot of people I mean.
I feel like it's becoming morecommon, maybe because you can
eat that every day, correct.
Other than that, I mean I'm nottoo fond on turkey.
You know, we African I got togive me some Jalof, so I usually
, typically always have threeplates, three full plates.

Speaker 2 (29:21):
So you know, that's the first plate Episode should
be called Gluttony.
I think we already have anepisode called that.

Speaker 1 (29:26):
We don't have an episode called Gluttony.
Ok, that's a good title, let'skeep it in the bank.
But yeah, that's my first plate.
The second plate it willconsist of the collard greens.
I don't do dressing stuffingfuck that.
I don't really care about that.
No, I've never been big on it.
Honestly, love me some collardgreens.
Then we get the mashed potatoesso I can mix them in with the

(29:47):
collard greens, and then we putthe cornbread on that plate as
well, and then I'm going to.
I try to partition, and y'allcould think I'm crazy, but I've
been trying to partition.
I've been trying to partitionI'm sorry, not partition,
partition to get turkey off themenu.

Speaker 2 (30:07):
I've really told let's do some big chicken or
something.

Speaker 1 (30:09):
That's what I remember.
When I offered that and Tundeand Wanu were like my brother
and his wife.
They were like Deji, we fun tohave turkey, like everybody
likes turkey.
I said, no, fuck that, get arotisserie chicken Shit.
You could do whatever you wantwith the chicken and I was just
like yeah, and they was all likeno, we not doing that.
That's crazy, I'm not going tohave a lot of motherfuckers will
have ham.
Y'all obsession with pork, I'mjust trying to.

Speaker 2 (30:31):
we could have roast beef, something different bro,
yeah, and I was just like why wealways got to do this, but
nobody listened to me.

Speaker 1 (30:38):
But that's what's on my mind.
The third plate is anythingthat is nuanced at the
Thanksgiving.
I'll do it just to be polite.
Try it.
But I'm really doing it to bepolite because I know if nobody
eat it, at least I can say I eatit.
But I usually pick at thatplate and then I just throw it
out, unless there's somethingreally good, you got to put it
upside down in the trash, can,correct, correct.

Speaker 2 (30:59):
So that's usually how it goes for beef.

Speaker 1 (31:02):
Oh yeah, I forgot about black eyed peas too.
So yeah, yeah, yeah, because weusually have a pretty good
spread, but, like I said, we geta cater.
This is the first year we'renot doing catering in the last
three or four years.
So what about you?

Speaker 2 (31:15):
My plate consists of, like I said, just a little bit
of turkey for fruity, and thenI'm putting some cranberry sauce
on that, because if it's dry Iwould need something to give it
some, you know some.
So one, two mashed potatoes.
If they're garlic and theywhips, it can't be from a box.
It needs to be authentic mashedpotatoes.
You remember the one time wetried to make mashed potatoes

(31:37):
from the box or from scratch?
No, that was a good year thatwe actually cooked me and you
cooked and we were the only twothat ate it, because mom and dad
went to somebody's house.
We fucked that up.
We fucked that thing's givingup.

Speaker 1 (31:48):
Yeah, so I know that was like right before.

Speaker 2 (31:50):
that was the year Before COVID.

Speaker 1 (31:51):
That's also why I don't like cooking Thanksgiving,
because when we we used to doit.
It took us all day and we usedto do it for our parents and
when they did that stupid assshit and didn't tell us I'm not
saying that there's yeah,because we were- like this year,
we're going to make everythingfrom scratch.

Speaker 2 (32:04):
And we did, we're going to do it, we're just going
to make you know, we just, wejust, I don't know what got into
us.
We were bored we were bored,but I mean it wasn't.
It wasn't COVID, it was beforeCOVID.
That's what I'm saying.
We just, we just had time.
We was like yeah, we're notgoing to make anything in the
box.
I think we just realized thatit's up to us to we made
stuffing out of scratch.

Speaker 1 (32:23):
We use yes, we did we , because we use breadcrumbs.
I bought breadcrumbs, yes, andI use the big ones that could
not the like actual breadcrumbs.
What are they called?
Panko crumbs?

Speaker 2 (32:34):
That's what I don't know.
But yeah, we did everythingfrom scratch that year and we,
we did our big one but we werecooking to like seven, eight.

Speaker 1 (32:42):
Yeah, it was too late , too late, too late.

Speaker 2 (32:44):
Because we didn't prepare like usually.
You supposed to preparebeforehand, but we were kind of
just like oh yeah, we're goingto do it.
So, but my plate?
Yes, Mush potatoes.
Gravy on the mashed potatoes.
I need the sweet potatoes.
Yeah, Super potato yams.
I don't need souffle casserole.
Don't put no marshmallows on myshit.
They hear that we had that.
That's that play.

(33:05):
Was that?
That panel was still full.

Speaker 1 (33:07):
I was trying to give that away, like you don't want
this.

Speaker 2 (33:09):
No, girl, I don't want that because I wanted you
would have seen me eating it.
And I need my sweet potatoesright next to my mac and cheese,
because I need that, thatsavory and that sweet, and I'm
going to pick up both of them,put both of them on my fork and
eat them together.
Then I'm going to put somegreens on there as well
Cornbread, jalof rice, jerkchicken, if we have it.

(33:30):
If not, we usually have ox tail.
I'm going to give me a ox tail,that's it.
I feel like I named everything.
I'm only eating one plate to beto be quite honest.
Last year I DJ'd BlackWednesday, so I was tired,
hungover.
After I ate my first plate, Itook a nap on the couch.

Speaker 1 (33:47):
Yeah, you did.
You was knocked out.

Speaker 2 (33:48):
I was knocked out because I was tired from DJing
and then from the itis.
I fell asleep.
I don't know what was going onaround me.

Speaker 1 (33:57):
I can't remember.
I can't remember.

Speaker 2 (34:00):
That was a weird thing.

Speaker 1 (34:01):
What's one thing you feel like they should add to
Thanksgiving that is not normal,just in general.
Or like food wise in general.

Speaker 2 (34:09):
Both, let's do both food wise, something that I
would like to eat, orThanksgiving, maybe some fried.
I would love some fried chickenor fried fish, but from sharks.

Speaker 1 (34:26):
Okay, I can see that they probably do get some good
orders that day too.

Speaker 2 (34:30):
Some sharks or, you know, some lemon pep, because I
feel like that would bang withthe rest of the stuff on the
plate, though that would fuck itup Fried catfish and some
mashed potatoes.

Speaker 1 (34:42):
I was thinking of lobster rolls.
That would go crazy.

Speaker 2 (34:45):
We just like lobster rolls.
In general, People probablyhave seafood like Chanel.
They used to do like seafoodfor Thanksgiving instead of
doing like other stuff, becausethey're like we eat that all the
time because they Jamaican.
So yeah, but something that Iwould like to happen at
Thanksgiving, I don't know.

(35:08):
I feel like one year we didkaraoke, music movies.

Speaker 1 (35:13):
When I have posted our Thanksgiving's most of the
time be like oh, y'all be lit,because they usually just end up
being a big party.

Speaker 2 (35:20):
Big party.
Everyone's done eating.

Speaker 1 (35:22):
So yeah.

Speaker 2 (35:23):
I mean, I feel like I would prefer to do house
hopping, to be honest.
I do I mean, yeah, I wouldprefer to do that.
That's an addition toThanksgiving I would like to do.
I would like to go toeverybody's house to eat, but
just to be in that community andhang out with people, because
last year I fell asleep becauseI didn't want to be up and be

(35:45):
like, active around people thatwe're with, because I remember
one year we saw Jump in theBroom after Thanksgiving.
Oh, we went to the movietheaters.
Was it after Thanksgiving orChristmas?

Speaker 1 (36:00):
It was after Thanksgiving.
It was after Thanksgiving, sowe saw Jump in the Broom.
No, we saw Queen and Slip thenext day, yeah that was one
Thanksgiving as well, so that'salways been something typical.
Yeah, that we have done as afamily, which is crazy because
we've made traditions with ourbrother but we don't necessarily

(36:21):
have stuff with our mom and dad.
But that's just a product ofwho our mom and dad are.
They don't really care for us.

Speaker 2 (36:26):
I don't know if I just think that my dad is not
like a social person, but that'sokay.

Speaker 1 (36:30):
I mean, you could still have traditions, you could
still do.

Speaker 2 (36:32):
I'm excited this year because I have Wednesday off of
work.

Speaker 1 (36:37):
So do I.
You don't typically always.

Speaker 2 (36:39):
No, my company don't give us no days off, that's okay
.
But, I may take off Tuesday too.

Speaker 1 (36:46):
Take the whole week off.

Speaker 2 (36:47):
Right.

Speaker 1 (36:47):
My fuckers already take too much of our time.
No ways.

Speaker 2 (36:51):
Because they was like you only use five days.
You don't want to, we don'teven want to talk.

Speaker 1 (36:56):
I looked at my.
There was two days that Icalled off this year and it
makes sense where I'm at whereI'm at Mentally.

Speaker 2 (37:02):
Yes, I guess if you got a limited PTO, take it.

Speaker 1 (37:07):
But that's the trick they will let you.
That's the thing I've learnedwith unlimited PTO.
They'll tell you that shit,knowing that you'll take less
days, because you're like, oh, Icould take off whenever you
want, but the thing is you gotto just start putting your foot
in the sand.
But what I was actually goingto say is that it's interesting.
With Thanksgiving, though, isthe one activity I would like to

(37:29):
get into that I have not yet,and I think part of it is
because I don't have my ownplace, because I would be the
only one to organize andactually kind of hone it out of
my friend group.
Is a friend's giving Right?
I feel like, as adults at thisage, particularly at this age
where people are living on theirown, they're living with their

(37:50):
spouse, they're trying to figureout what it means to them to
kind of build their own familyand identity, I feel like
friends giving is a very coolthing.
That came out aboutThanksgiving, and it's just more
so surrounded by the community.
So I've always been interestedto see what that looked like,
because for me, friends givingwould just be a really big party

(38:11):
.
I don't necessarily care aboutall Typically when it comes to
holidays.
I don't care about patentry.
I don't really care about thedecorations.
All that I care about makingsure we get everybody in a space
so we could turn up.

Speaker 2 (38:27):
I agree, I would do Friends Given too.
I would throw all the parties.

Speaker 1 (38:32):
Because I feel like in general out of my friend
group you have to be the one todo it.
I mean, people live on theirown but they don't ever really
host nothing.
I'd be the one to be like.
So, like yeah, and I'm likey'all been living by yourselves
for years, but it seems like Iget it People, man with black
men kind of be weird sometimesthat like, oh, this is my space,

(38:52):
this is my fortune of solitude,that's cool.

Speaker 2 (38:54):
I just think they don't keep it clean enough to be
having people over.

Speaker 1 (38:56):
No, I got some pretty clean niggas.

Speaker 2 (39:03):
I just think you should be saying niggas and keep
talking about white people too.

Speaker 1 (39:06):
So I don't know, and you know why are you lying?
I mean, what's the last whiteface?
You've actually seen me kick itwith.
Yeah, think about it.

Speaker 2 (39:14):
I haven't seen you kick it with nobody Shut up.
You're a lazy.
You're leaving the house, youlie.

Speaker 1 (39:18):
See you just be talking about your ass bro.
You be talking.
I watch y'all to realize thateverything that this woman say
to the left of me, if this wasvideo recorded to the left of me
, to the right of me.

Speaker 2 (39:30):
Look at the camera.
There ain't no camera.
Look at the camera and talk tothem.

Speaker 1 (39:33):
She is telling you she wants.
She's a little sister so yougot to realize big mouth, but
it's always like there's alwaysa hint of like lies in it.
You feel me Like if you.

Speaker 2 (39:43):
I said there's a hint of lies.

Speaker 1 (39:47):
I didn't call you a liar because if it was up to you
, what?

Speaker 2 (39:49):
does a liar, do you over here?
You over here?

Speaker 1 (39:53):
thinking like I'm a KKK associate.
Member of some shit.

Speaker 2 (39:56):
What does a liar do?
They lie, they lie, but that'sso.
If I lie, then what am I?

Speaker 1 (40:03):
I just want you all to know that at the end of the
day, yeah when I see yummy eatoff either my niece or my
nephews plate, I'm going to lookat her and say, see, hypocrite,
I don't eat off, they playyummy, your, you be capping, bro
.
I've seen you just take foodoff.
They play.
I really haven't.
I don't think you know whatyou're talking about.

(40:24):
I definitely do, but we talkabout Thanksgiving, okay Right.
So what is your most memorablemoment?

Speaker 2 (40:31):
from.

Speaker 1 (40:31):
Thanksgiving out of all the Thanksgiving's we had.

Speaker 2 (40:34):
So I don't know.

Speaker 1 (40:44):
I feel like we talked about the ones that I think are
memorable, like the year thatwe cooked or we could talk about
the first time we met today'swife, and we didn't know it at
the time.

Speaker 2 (40:54):
You can talk about that for your memory, but I was
thinking about the one year.
No, I mean yeah, if that's yourfavorite memory you can talk
about it, but I didn't thinkabout that I thought about the
one year where mom made a saladand she opened a bag of premixed
salad and poured it into atupperware and said she made

(41:16):
salad.
That was funny to me.
I don't know.
That's what my brain went to,because I mean memorable
Thanksgiving.
I really just think about theyear that we cooked the whole
thing by ourselves, because wereally what I did I did a lot of
the work and did you was agreat sushi.

Speaker 1 (41:32):
Yeah, I mean, stop lying to the people, I actually
cooked because you lied.
Who peeled the potatoes, whoboiled the potatoes, who smashed
the potato chef, chef dutiessmashed the potatoes, and then I
also whipped the mashedpotatoes.

Speaker 2 (41:47):
So I literally, but you with the way about no, no,
yummy what a whisk.
What a way.
Yes, well, yeah.
So what's, what was yourfavorite Thanksgiving memory?
Daigee.

Speaker 1 (42:02):
Favorite Thanksgiving memory?
I feel like there's so many.
That wasn't a favorite memory,that was just I always think I'm
a memorable memory, because Ilook at them from this time
standpoint of like how I grew upas a like Daigee.
I remember that because we weresuper, super young and today

(42:22):
just took us to this person'shouse 13 years ago.
Yeah, and we were playing sceneit.
That's why I remember that.
So I'm like, oh, that's coolwhen I was 12 years ago, 12
years ago, I'm 28, 14.
So I think about stuff like that, but then I also think about
that.

Speaker 2 (42:37):
Isn't that crazy, like someone has literally
watched you grow since you werea teenager and you know, you
know, I mean like, but I thinkabout that with my friends all
the time.

Speaker 1 (42:48):
Oh, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (42:49):
Yeah, I think about that, like with my line sisters,
like they literally see me whenI was 18 and I'm not that
anymore.
So it's like you hear me,you're not, it's okay, you don't
have to how old are youactually why?
Yeah me please so yeah, so,like you said, we're playing
scene it.

Speaker 1 (43:08):
So that's the time I really remember.
Like I said, remember when weseen jump.

Speaker 2 (43:11):
Thanks giving her Christmas.

Speaker 1 (43:13):
That, was that really the same to?

Speaker 2 (43:14):
me, the only difference is on Christmas.
We don't eat like a meal, wejust be in community, correct?

Speaker 1 (43:20):
Thanksgiving when we saw jump in the broom.
I remember that because we wentto country club.

Speaker 2 (43:24):
Hills we got Bobo, I think it was.
I think it was Friday, no itwasn't, but it's okay.

Speaker 1 (43:31):
When we saw Queen and Slim, I remember that that was
a terrible.
I remember that the only thingthat made it worth it is that we
all all had the same reaction.

Speaker 2 (43:40):
We were last five minutes I'm telling you me today
.
Why do you got up and walk outthe?

Speaker 1 (43:45):
theater, the whole theater went up, though they was
all like what the fuck?
Like every.
It was the coolest experience.
Yeah, because it was all.
A whole bunch of black peoplesay like this fucking.
So that was a very.

Speaker 2 (43:57):
we literally got up and walked out.
I think I made a walk.
I might have walked back in,just so I could see how it ended
, but I had already missed somestuff because I walked out much.

Speaker 1 (44:05):
Yeah, honestly, I'm going to the other kind of the
laugh.
If I had, it was so funnybecause the hype was crazy.

Speaker 2 (44:13):
Lena with had our own website.

Speaker 1 (44:16):
I mean the promo rollout.
The the remote was crazy justfor the movie to be like ass.

Speaker 2 (44:21):
No, I mean like the whole movie wasn't bad.
We've talked about this beforeon the podcast.
Of course, the scene with thecops and the boy and then the
last like 10 minutes was trash,but everything else was cute,
like the segmentography, thestory, like I'm really thinking
that these niggas gonna get awayand you both face shot them,
yeah, in our fucking faces, asif we didn't see.

(44:43):
Yeah, trayvon Martin.

Speaker 1 (44:45):
George Floyd.

Speaker 2 (44:46):
George Floyd, like I think, I think this was after,
this was before George Floyd,but that wasn't the last
incident of of police brutality,you know.
So it was just weird to seelife in film when we watch stuff
on TV to escape reality,correct, and I'm not saying that

(45:06):
, like, art does not reflectreality, because movies is art.
I'm just saying, like, you hadthe opportunity to give us a
happy ending because we alreadydon't see it in real life, and
you dropped the ball.
And that was the day I stoppedfucking with Lena, with and then
she.

Speaker 1 (45:23):
She tried to come back on Masters of the season
three and I, which ages betteras you rewatch it.
I'll say that, but still, whatthe fuck?

Speaker 2 (45:32):
and also, let's talk about Thanksgiving.

Speaker 1 (45:35):
Our favorite episode, yes, so that's so now I feel
like we talked aboutThanksgiving on the podcast
before we talked about how it'sone of our favorite episodes,
but I don't think we talkedabout how it actually came about
, as it becoming a Thanksgivingtradition for us or even just
like Thanksgiving.

Speaker 2 (45:49):
No, I'm saying like I feel like we talked about
Thanksgiving, the holiday, as anepisode, if we have.
You know, we've said new stuff.
It's been a long year for us,sorry.

Speaker 1 (45:58):
I mean, we also haven't been recording this
consistently, so y'all shouldjust be happy to hear our voices
.
No, I'm joking.

Speaker 2 (46:03):
And that's a period.

Speaker 1 (46:05):
But yeah, we probably did have a Thanksgiving episode
.
But you know, you live and youlearn.
How did the Thanksgivingepisode become tradition?

Speaker 2 (46:13):
if you guys have not.
I think we might have justtalked about our favorite, like
TV shows or something.

Speaker 1 (46:18):
That's probably what it was.

Speaker 2 (46:19):
That's probably what it was.

Speaker 1 (46:21):
For those of you who haven't watched it, it's on.
It's called Masters of Nuns, sopretty much a dramedy is what
they call it, or a comedy yeah,a drama comedy based around a
person named Dev and his friendsand they live in New York and
they go through basically life,but it's from the minority
standpoint, first generationstandpoint Older millennials.

Speaker 2 (46:44):
Older millennials Correct, but very very great
story.

Speaker 1 (46:49):
Very great story, very beautifully shot, a lot of
things, and it actually has oneof our favorite episodes, which
I don't know, how it became atradition.

Speaker 2 (46:58):
But basically, I mean it's called Thanksgiving.
Yes, why not watch it onThanksgiving?
So?

Speaker 1 (47:03):
that, yeah, that's what it is and it's a coming of
age story, but everyThanksgiving something happens
differently and it's a reallybeautiful, beautiful story.

Speaker 2 (47:13):
Like Lena, waithe needs to stay in that bag.

Speaker 1 (47:16):
Correct.

Speaker 2 (47:16):
That particular bag and don't go anywhere else,
don't shift anywhere else, don'tgive us nothing else.
How stay here?

Speaker 1 (47:25):
But yeah, it's a really beautiful episode.

Speaker 2 (47:26):
You watch it, yeah we talked about it before, so we
won't go.
So I would just say y'all watchit.

Speaker 1 (47:30):
Y'all could give us y'all feedback.

Speaker 2 (47:32):
I mean For y'all.
Definitely let us know yourfeedback after you watch it, if
you've been listening this far,and make sure you throw that
away.

Speaker 1 (47:38):
So yes, Find a business, yeah, but that would
probably be my favorite.
I guess that's my favoritethings because I always make
sure, I always make sure nomatter how through high water.
No matter before I go to bed, Iwash that.

Speaker 2 (47:52):
Whenever it's how we come home.

Speaker 1 (47:53):
I wash that episode.
Yeah, and as long as Masters ofNine is on.

Speaker 2 (47:58):
Netflix.

Speaker 1 (47:58):
I'll probably have to buy it, if they never, just so
I could keep tradition alive.

Speaker 2 (48:01):
But it's stuff like something you're going to show
your kids.
Are you going to show kidswatch?
Yeah, I feel like that episodeis safe for kids to watch.

Speaker 1 (48:09):
Yeah, why not?
I mean, I would wait for themto be of a certain age where
they could understand what isactually going on.

Speaker 2 (48:14):
Yeah, I mean to sit down with them, for sure, but
yeah, but in general.

Speaker 1 (48:19):
Yeah, so that's a beautiful episode.
That's a story of family, love,acceptance, growth.
I mean it kind of haseverything mixed all up into it
and a whole bunch of, like youknow, resolution, which
sometimes I don't think peopletalk about it enough.
The reason why we like showslike this is because there is

(48:40):
resolution Oftentimes in our ownlives.
We have to wait.

Speaker 2 (48:45):
Yeah and be patient for our resolution, but in these
shows it's you get it in 30minutes, and I will talk about
that because that's that'sreally like something that I've
been dealing with a lot lately,like I'm living what I watched
on TV, like what I grew up, likewhat raised me, like I was
raised by TV, to be quite honest, which is why my personality is

(49:05):
the way that it is, but I'mstarting to realize that yo,
like these adults that I waswatching when I was like 10, 9,
8 years old, is who I am now.
Like I'm dealing through adultshit and it's like it might not
be resolved in 30 minutes, likeI was raised to believe and
that's crazy to me, it reallywon't.

(49:26):
That's crazy to me because I'mlike damn, I'm an adult and it.
I feel like I be jumping in andout of spaces of like knowing
that I'm an adult, even thoughfully I know that I'm 27 years
old.
But there's some, there's someaspects of my life where I feel
like, ooh, I'm still this age,but fully, like damn, this shit

(49:47):
is.
I don't think I've watched theshow that has anything that
directly is parallel to my life,but just like realizing that
like damn, this would be anepisode of a TV show but it's
not resolved in 30 minutes.
So yeah, that's that's.
That's interesting that yousaid that, because I'd be having
like that mental that not block, but I just be thinking about

(50:08):
that often.

Speaker 1 (50:09):
Yeah, I'm in a season where I'm thinking, where I'm
in that right now and it's it's,it's the worst.
I can see why people don't likeuncertainty, because when
you're in a season where you'renot able to handle, it is kind
of gives you like, am I going tomake it through?
Like, what is the resolution?
What is the conclusion?
You can have faith, you canhave all the positive, all that

(50:29):
stuff, but you know, the onething about life is it's gonna
life and sometimes you don'tknow how life is gonna life.
You, you feel me, but yeah, no,I think it's a.
I think it's a.
I think, when it comes toThanksgiving, that episode
especially we see all thosethings right like we see which,

(50:51):
if we were actually payingattention, we see that the
resolution actually took decadesor years, which, okay, that
would make it make sense butlike yeah, no, I get it, yemi
yeah.
I guess that's Yemi's humbleflex or humble brag, whatever.

Speaker 2 (51:06):
It wasn't a brag, it wasn't a flex.
I literally, if anything, Ithink it's to my own detriment
Like I was raised to not believe, because I don't think I even
believed that then.
But I was raised to believethat there is a resolution for
some of the stuff that you gothrough and things will just
fall into place.
They do and they do.

(51:26):
They fall into a place.
It might not be the place thatyou want them to, but they do
fall somewhere.

Speaker 1 (51:31):
But I think that's the thing that sometimes we
forget, specifically during theholidays, because everything is
Hallmark right, specificallythrowing into Thanksgiving.
Everything is about thanks,like you should be so grateful,
which is true, but the journeyto being thankful and gratitude
is a motherfucker Like.

(51:52):
There's a lot of things thatyou have to learn to let go of
and accept because that's whatreality is right.

Speaker 2 (51:59):
Well, I'm thankful for where I am right now.
And I'm thankful for all thethings that this year has given
me.
You know it's November, it'sthe second to last month of the
year.
Next week, two weeks from now,we're gonna be celebrating
Daisy's birthday.
I'm thankful for this niggaright here as much as he gets on
my nerves and pisses me off.
But you know I wouldn't want tosee her.

Speaker 1 (52:19):
You see how, even as this is a big brother right.
Yes, me and my coworkers weretalking and you know we were
doing the whole company, like wewere doing the team hot social
hour or whatever.
And they're like oh, let's talkabout everything you are
thankful for.
And people were sayingobviously most people were
saying they're families and theneverything.
And then it got to me and I waslike sure I'll tell you what

(52:43):
I'm thankful for.
I said for my sister.
I said, and you see how shejust everybody listen to what
she said begrudgingly Me.
I was very straightforward.
I said look, I'm very thankfulfor my sister in this year of
this life that I've experiencedthis age of 28.
You know, I'm in the middle ofmy Saturn return and everything

(53:03):
that they say about that bitchI'm telling y'all right now is
100% true.
But I was like, yeah, I'm sohappy that I've been able to
experience and enjoy life withmy sister in this year of 28.
Cause, honestly, if I look atit holistically, this for most
people would be a really goodyear.
You know, this would be areally great year for them.

(53:24):
You know, like what I've beenable to accomplish, what I've
been able to see you accomplish,and where we're going from a
projectory standpoint.
It would make you feel like,wow, there is a lot of good
coming down the pipeline.

Speaker 2 (53:37):
Yes.

Speaker 1 (53:38):
Right, and in addition to that, I'm saying
that because, basically, what Isaid is like I'm very happy that
my sister and I are able toenjoy life.
We were both fortunate enoughto go to Afro Tech and there was
this moment in Afro Tech wherewe both daft each other and
honestly, I'm telling y'all thiswas like I've been going

(53:59):
through a season, but like thatmoment was enough for me to be
like, yeah, I can keep onpushing for as long as I need to
, because life be worth it.
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (54:09):
Is that you remember what that moment was?

Speaker 1 (54:12):
Yeah, so we was at.
So we ain't even really talkabout it, but we were at Afro
Tech.
Right, and basically Afro Techwas the combination of what me
and Yemi are as people, which isbasically we are very charming.
Basically I would call usunicorns when it comes to a
social setting.

(54:32):
But besides all that, we justare ultimate finesses.
Like there's no way we're notgonna find a way to make sure
that the situation is conduciveto us.
So Yemi and I, we was at AfroTech.
This was the second or thirdday.
It was Friday, that's all Iremember.
Friday Yemi found out that oneof her favorite artists at the

(54:56):
time, or I should say right now.
Ombre was performing at SohoHouse, austin she's a member.
They was doing all this wooplawahala type shit, talking about
some.
You can't use your one offright now because of blah, blah
blah.
You need to talk to the house,the house needs to communicate
with us.
Blah, blah, blah all a wholebunch of bullshit.
So, me being me, I kind of letYemi do the talking.

(55:17):
Then I walk over to this doorbecause I was just gonna walk in
with this other dude who wastalking, who was going to this.

Speaker 2 (55:25):
I'm giving them play by play A different event.
He was going to a differentevent at Soho House.

Speaker 1 (55:29):
And we was talking up to buddy and he's like, oh,
y'all having a hard time Causehe's like this Soho House don't
even be cracking like that.
Blah, blah, blah.

Speaker 2 (55:36):
And then buddy was like what's up about that?

Speaker 1 (55:38):
at different days and bloody was like come on, just
come with me and I'll say salute.
This is why that was one of myfavorite things I learned about
AvroTech.
One thing about Black people isthat we were always finesse the
situation for one another.
But that dude got us in, but wedidn't really need to get in
because Yemi's a member.
So then we got up and then itwas.
It was giving Tiny Desk vibesyou know what I'm saying.

(56:01):
Like it was so intimate, it wasalmost surreal, like it was
literally some shit.
You see, it was something yousaw in a movie, if we're going
to be quite frank.

Speaker 2 (56:11):
Like yeah, like it's giving 90s, like Love Jones.
Not a diary, a diary of a man.
Yeah, my diaries of a man,black woman.

Speaker 1 (56:20):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, If you know that stole.
What's her name?
Alison Stone, or is there AngieStone?
Angie Stone?

Speaker 2 (56:26):
but that was.

Speaker 1 (56:27):
Family Reunion.
Family Reunion, but damn it.

Speaker 2 (56:30):
It was giving a vibe like that, like a 90s romantic
comedy, which is such my vibe,oh my goodness.
But yeah, I think that's themoment that we realized, like
this is the stuff that we'resupposed to be doing.
We're exactly where we need tobe Correct, correct.
So yeah.
I'm thankful for that.
But, I mean, I said that in mylanguage, you said in your
language, but we're saying theexact same thing.

Speaker 1 (56:50):
No, we are not saying the same exact thing.
Oh, how could I say that I hada moment that literally
encouraged me to keep on,keeping on.

Speaker 2 (56:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (57:00):
And then you said as much as this motherfucker pissed
me off, yes, and annoying me,yes, I'm still incredibly like
what the fuck are you?
Listening to.

Speaker 2 (57:10):
Okay, just as you said that in that moment, don't
mean that you didn't just comefor my life and call me a liar,
and call me a selfish ass bitchbecause I didn't let you eat my
chocolate chip cookies.

Speaker 1 (57:19):
What are you talking about?
You did it.
I had to eat them off.
The strength yeah, I had to eatthem off the strength.

Speaker 2 (57:26):
The strength of what Me oh Okay, so you see what I'm
saying, people, but yes, I'mvery grateful and thankful for
Deji and having him in my lifePeriod.
No butts, no ants, no, nothing.
Thank you for being my brother.
You didn't have a choice.
But it's more than just bloodwith us.

(57:47):
That's why we are talking toy'all.
That's nothing but a G thing,cause it's more than just excuse
me.
We share the same DNA.

Speaker 1 (57:54):
I appreciate that.
I appreciate you and I'm verythankful for you.

Speaker 2 (57:57):
Amen.

Speaker 1 (57:58):
Amen, and that's the resolution of this podcast.
Anyways, now it's time to moveon to the ghetto intellectual
question.

Speaker 2 (58:05):
Y'all heard it a little bit earlier, but let's
circle back.
Yeah, let's circle back.
Ghetto intellectual question Ifyou bring food to the potluck
to the Thanksgiving dinner tothe Christmas dinner, to the
Easter, and it goes untouched.
Do you feel like you can takeit with you when you leave?
Or do you feel like, okay, youride it and that's it?

Speaker 1 (58:26):
My answer is because I've actually done this.

Speaker 2 (58:29):
Yes, you have every right to take that shit back,
especially if nobody ate it itwas a dessert.
Like, if it's a main dish and itwas nasty and that's why nobody
touched it, they gonna let youtake it regardless, but it's
because nobody ate it.
In that moment, yeah, and theyknew they was gonna come back to
it they was like, oh yeah, no,you can't, take nobody, you
can't.
But that's why I said, with thebanana cupcakes, the banana
pudding cupcakes, I'm gonnastash a couple in the house

(58:51):
first, Cause you telling me I'mpaying $98 for some cupcakes and
I'm only gonna be able to eatone.

Speaker 1 (58:57):
So typically what they say is if you are gonna
bring something, if you're gonnamake it, always make extra so
you can have some.
But if you're gonna buy someyeah.

Speaker 2 (59:07):
That's it.

Speaker 1 (59:08):
Honestly, I would buy some, and who cares if it's 12,
if it's fucking 18.
I'm gonna put it in thecontainer that it looked like
two dozen.

Speaker 2 (59:16):
You know what?

Speaker 1 (59:16):
I'm saying Like that's, if you count every
single one, we got a problem.

Speaker 2 (59:20):
That's all you you'll be like.
Why is there something missing?
Because I paid $100 for 24cupcakes and you think I'm
paying $100 for 24 cupcakes andonly eating one.
You don't know who I am, forreal.

Speaker 1 (59:35):
And that's your fault and that's I really feel like
people that get upset at you fordoing so.
Hey, man one, I don't reallycare.
Honestly, sometimes I'm likewhy are you tripping?
Are you finna eat it?
Cause the people who usuallytend to trip is-.

Speaker 2 (59:49):
Yes, I don't want to just try to save it for the trip
.

Speaker 1 (59:51):
Yeah, and I'm like I didn't buy this shit for you to
have free groceries.

Speaker 2 (59:54):
If it's really informal or wrong to want to
take something that you boughtthat nobody touched afterwards.
Okay, let it be, but if it waslike pop, they'd be like okay,
you can take that, cause youknow my friends don't really be
like oh yeah, let me save pop.
People be like I don't evendrink pop.
Yeah, but it's because it'ssome cake and some ice cream.
You can take that with you.

Speaker 1 (01:00:14):
I specifically especially when you bought the
dessert.
I'm one of them people that.

Speaker 2 (01:00:18):
I will buy something, not no, you're the only one
that's going to eat it Exactly.

Speaker 1 (01:00:22):
Hey, if y'all know that, if y'all know good or well
, if you know good or well,that's not shame on me.
I'll be like, look, I'm goingto bring this and they'll be
like cool, I think people willeat that.
You know what damn well I'm theonly one, See the thing is
about.
It is you got to know yoursituations, people?
One thing I've always done isthat I will go into a setting
and I'll find a way to make itwork for me especially when it

(01:00:45):
comes to the food.
Cause I'm not even the rightword.
Choice Shea B.
I want this.
You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 2 (01:01:00):
That's what's really important I want this.

Speaker 1 (01:01:02):
If you do not want it because you know pound cake and
ice cream is a beautiful comboI'll be trying to tell people.
But when nobody wanted, it atthe time y'all was just like
that's gross.
I want to have this sweetpotato, I want to have this
apple pie.
Y'all want to have apahalo mode.
Have y'all apahalo mode.
I'm going to have my pound cakeand ice cream, please, and

(01:01:23):
thank you.
And then, if I see, nobodytouched it, I just got me
another loaf.
That's it.
That's all I have to say.
Ok, I'm going to move it on.

Speaker 2 (01:01:33):
So you have a, I have a thing I said and did you on
Twitter, but you haven't been onsocial media.

Speaker 1 (01:01:37):
I've probably seen it .

Speaker 2 (01:01:38):
No, I don't know you haven't been on social media.

Speaker 1 (01:01:41):
Well, ask me about it .
I've probably seen it.
I'm not saying that I've been.

Speaker 2 (01:01:46):
So it's this video and it says the sun at 530 said,
and it's a video of JenniferHudson walking away after she
was singing heavy from DreamGirls.

Speaker 1 (01:01:57):
Heavy, heavy.
Her walking offset.
Yeah, why do you think I'msaying that?
Oh?

Speaker 2 (01:02:02):
because they like savings.
They like savings, it's justit's definitely hit my ass.

Speaker 1 (01:02:06):
I'm not going to lie to you it just hit so hard.

Speaker 2 (01:02:08):
It was no transition, it was just.
It's never really a transition,right?
First of all, we voted to endDaylight Savings, so why are we
still moving?

Speaker 1 (01:02:16):
Did we?

Speaker 2 (01:02:17):
really yes, we voted in the last election to end
Daylight Savings, so that meansit didn't pass.
No, it did.
We voted on it.

Speaker 1 (01:02:26):
Why do I?
I feel like that should havebeen bigger news.

Speaker 2 (01:02:30):
The government does what they want to do and they
reinstated us through the loans.
We got to pay them back now.
I voted for George.
Excuse, my excuse my raisedvoice, but I voted for George.
What's the?

Speaker 1 (01:02:41):
name George.

Speaker 2 (01:02:43):
George Joe Biden.
There we go.
I'm going to let you get there.
I voted for him because he saidhe was going to take away
student loans.
I want my vote back.
I'm not going to hold you.

Speaker 1 (01:02:56):
I tried to log into my stuff two days ago and it
said I didn't have an accountand I said hm.

Speaker 2 (01:03:03):
No, you just used the wrong email.
No, they said we're going tostart your automatic payments.

Speaker 1 (01:03:06):
You got to pay $70.
Because I even did it by mysocial security number and then
I was like hm.

Speaker 2 (01:03:11):
I was like, if y'all lost my info, just let me know
that, just let me know, and youknow you're not going to put a
question mark what God put uphere, yeah exactly.
But they said they're going tostart taking automatic payments
from me and I'm going to justswitch my credit card.
I mean, I know my card is notthe same that I used to I'm
going to just put a differentcredit card, Because when I went
to fill out that thing and theysaid we're giving you $0.
I said you got me fucked up.

(01:03:33):
So now that I make money youwant to take it from me?
Yeah, they do.
I might as well just go and bebroke, or I just make less money
.
I won't call anybody who has topay, who doesn't have to pay
back their student loans.
I'm just saying I might as welljust go and have no money,
Because you guys are going Ihave to give you this money back
.
You'll have me fucked up.
