Happy holidays, within our happy holidays, holler her happy Halliards. Sorry.
So, so we're focused very specificallyon two holidays, and we're bringing
(01:37):
it to you drunk history style.Yes. So, yes, this may

Mine will be accurate. I gotnotes. Hope I got notes too,
but I really did. I tryto get um like trustworthy m sources um,
(02:00):
but not knowing which ones in thatspecific religion are accurate. I just
went with Jewish history dot org.That feels right. That feels right.
So if you guys can't tell umwindsor we'll be doing I almost said Kwanzaka,
don't be doing Kwanza. Do youwant to start because by default your
(02:24):
holidays older than mine? Or Ican start? Oh? I mean it
really is because this shit started inlike some six one sixty something before hay
sus BC, before common era.Yeah, no, off, okay,
(02:47):
I see you out here being thefirst go off queens Queen. I will
be talking about Hanaka and just soyou guys know, t get this year
has a Rugrats Hanuka sweatshirt for thekids. They do they do. At
(03:07):
first, I was like, ohmy gosh, it's gonna be a Rugrats
um Christmas hoodie. I'm gonna getit. And then I'm like it's a
Rugrats Honnaka hookie. I'm like,that's so cookie hoodie. And I immediately
sent it to the group chat,but I think Brittany was too busy to
see it. I was making somecash money. Yeah, so did you
(03:28):
know I saw Melissa's COVID tests.Oh poor thing, Melissa. Did you
guys know that Britton that Brittany hasnever seen the Rugrats Honka Special? And
I say it like that only becausethat's how the kids pronounce it in the
(03:51):
Honnoka Special's like what Hanka? Andthe one thing that I've never actually been
able to grasp my head around,and I still haven't. I don't have
an answer for you is why there'smore than one spelling. But I'm on
my business. That was going tobe question number one. I'm gonna my
(04:13):
business on that one because that onegot don't got anything to do with me.
I don't got to explain everything.True. I should do the research,
yep, I should do the research. M hmmmm. So this happened
like back in the day, likeback back back in the day. Uh,
this started this like the eighteen fifties, na, bitch, not when
(04:39):
Brian was born. This was I'mgonna try to do some math. This
was approximately two thousand, one hundredand ninety years ago ish. It started
(05:00):
about one ninety before Jesus okay,so one hundred and ninety years before Homie
was bored. This is when theyears were still going backwards. Right,
So I will never understand that,Like, how did they know? Is
that the Georgian calendar that's like thatGregorian? Oh, Georgian not it might
(05:30):
be you can hold on, holdon. I think it is the what
you said, it's not the Ethiopianone. We know that for sure.
They know it's Christmas time. SoBritney has a few triggers, the first
and most prominent being reverse racism.But do they know it's Christmas? If
(05:57):
you listen to our Christmas episode twoyears ago, you'll know it's another trigger
of hers because they fucking know becauseit's one of the oldest Christian countries in
the fucking world. No, theyou know what snow is too? In
Africa? Did you know that?And oh did you also know that in
Africa they have like their only thirdquote unquote third world because that's all the
(06:25):
weights wanted to be and that's whatthey keep telling us. But so Africans
do have the Internet and every theydo, and you know what, they
also have clean water, as theydid tell us bitch Die in that TikTok
when they were like, oh,shouldn't you you're in Africa, shouldn't you
be conserving your water? And theywere like, um, at least I
(06:48):
have at least we could drink ourwater. And I'm like, that's fired.
But anyway, if you could tellwe're gonna go off topic like five
thousand times because we pregamed for thisepisode because we wanted it to be like
a drunk Hicks, drunk history,drunk hickstorym TM or registered or copyright,
(07:11):
I don't know. We I don'twant to get sued. Don't sue us.
Please, don't sue us. I'malready getting sued and I don't want
to get sued again. Okay,let me let me finish this drink so
I can start. Michael Pito coquitois not part of the Hanaka traditions.
What it could be, if y'allwant it to be, is bomb as
(07:35):
fuck. But it is not atraditional Hanaka drink. You've got a Jewish
woman Shamary is a Puerto Rican manmhm. Done or either or done or
the other way, or you couldbe you could be a Jewish Puerto Rican.
You can be a Jewish Puerto Rican. But I think that Judaism goes
(07:55):
through the mother. Yes, yes, yeah, you're right, it goes
through the mother. But you couldbe a you could absolutely be a Jewish
Puerto Rican. Because in fact,we're gonna what we're gonna, We're gonna
break down the race versus ethnicity versusor all this other stuff at some point,
and because it is a topic,but not a topic we're gonna talk
(08:18):
about tonight. I'm talking about whathappened over two thousand years ago, beginning
in approximately one ninety b c e. Before Christ. And so Jewish Puerto
Rican, good for her. Youcompletely miss what I said, Yeah I
(08:41):
did. I said before Christ himself. So back then the Jews and the
Greeks were Vibin and Kikian in Jerusalem. So we're gonna take we're I'm going
to talk about Israel and what Israelis today. We're gonna talk about Israel
(09:03):
is back then like the original Yeah, the Ogs. So back then they
were exchanging culture. They were alittle melting pot. And by exchanging culture,
what I really mean is that theywere the Jews were assimilating to the
predominantly white Greek culture. Yeah,because whites are fucking assholes. So and
(09:26):
obviously not all of them, uum, about one third of the Jews
at the time did assimilate that we'rein this area. It has a lot
of Jews because Judaism was the prominentreligion at the time. That so the
(09:46):
Jews was Jewish. Jesus was Jewishand guess what, y'all, he was
brown too. The Jews who startedbucket with the Greek culture at the expense
of Judaism became known in the streetsas Helenists. Um so, so yeah
they were Helenists. So h EL L Yeah, okay, girl,
(10:07):
Yeah, so yeah they weren't.They weren't the ones that people as fucking
with. An estimated third or moreof the Jewish population at the time were
Helenist, and so this included eatingpork. They also reversed their circumcisions.
(10:30):
So I had questions about this,and they still do these today. It
could be a correction because maybe theytook a little bit too much off or
someone wanted their peskin. But buttoday when these are done, it's done
(10:50):
under anesthesia. The same procedures thatwere done they do now were done men
without any that's a note for me, don't yeah, so would have a
weenie. So what they would dois sometimes they would pull some of the
skin up um, so they wouldhave a foreskin or now what they do
(11:15):
is they usually take some of theskin from the ball sack and put it
around. I mean, I thinkmost people could deal without the balls,
makes sense. It's just like thegrossest part of the body. Anyway,
that's not what they're talking about.And also some of them bow to idols,
which obviously in a Christianity and Judaismyou're not supposed to put the false
(11:39):
prophets idols. So and according tothe website they quote became self hating enough
to side with the enemies of Israel. They had things to say about them.
So it wasn't about one ninety beforeJesus the shit started hitting the fan
(12:01):
between two posts Alexandrian empires, theSeleucid and the Potomac. So the Seleucids
were like, fuck this ship,We're fin to fuck y'all up, and
they mounted an invasion which took themthrough the land of Israel, which was
(12:22):
like sandwiched in between them. Soobviously they were kind of stuck in the
middle of this whole like fuck you, no, fuck you bitch, I
kill you, I kill you,bitch. It was a mess. So
after that, the Greeks were like, we're gonna control you. You're not
gonna be Jewish anymore. You haveto fuck with zusanum or you could fuck
(12:45):
off into the afterlife like they broughtZeus into it. No Zeus. They
forced the Jews to finance the warthrough taxes that they had to pay.
They really said, you know what, fuck you, you're gonna pay for
this bullshit. They say, Mexico'spaying for the wall. Yep, that's
it. That's exactly what it was. The audacity, the audacity, and
(13:09):
the caucassity, because um, theGreeks were white. They forced the Jews
to financial war, like I said, and they forced them to quarter their
soldiers in Jewish homes y'all. Itwas a couple of years ago I found
out what quartering is in their homes. Yeah. And then after that the
(13:33):
Greeks were like, you know whatJudaism is? Over who? They canceled
Judy, they canceled he's trying tobe like the Greeks right before Hanka,
get out of here, out ofhere. So they took the statutes of
Zeus, and you bet your hotass that the statue had a tiny penis
(13:56):
because you know, the Greeks lovedthem some tiny penises. I know,
they're like so into it. Andthere's actually a reason, because they were
based. They didn't have like athing for like excess, and so they
were like, oh this big penisesor it's excess, we don't need that
or and so that's why small peniseswere like revered and big penises that were
(14:18):
like buck that. So if you'rea Greek and you have a tiny penis,
blame your ancestors, because they fuckingeugenics that shit out of you.
They took the statue, put himin the courtyard of the temple, and
they banned the observance of the Sabbathand said that if you do that shit,
we'll end you. We're gonna killyou. That's it. You're done.
Then. According to the Talmud records, there was a period of time
(14:41):
that lasted for a decade where theGreek officer in town had the right to
quote live with a woman on herwedding night before her husband a b and
by live with they mean right clearly, they were allowed to do whatever the
fuck they wanted and it was completelylegal even though she was wedded. And
they also said no more cuppy piecefor you, and they found out that
(15:05):
you circumcised your son. Both fatherand son were put to death. My
thing is, what is the obsessionwith infant penises? Why are we so
worried about what an infants penis lookslike? Anyway, they then erected Greek
altars to the Greek idols and demandedthat sacrifices be offered on a regular basis
(15:28):
in every Jewish town. And soremember time is going backwards at this point,
around one hundred and sixty six,someone finally said, you know what,
fuck this shit, You're done.Matthias and his family, known as
the Hesimonians, they said, you'redone. You're done, You're done.
That's it, your cancel, We'refucking through with this. Now. Not
(15:48):
much is known about this family exceptthey were of noble descent and they lived
in a small town called Moden,which was at that time about twelve miles
away from jeru Ulam. Now itdoes exist today, but it's like more
like twenty miles away. Okay,So one day the Greeks marched in.
They set up an altar and waslike, see what y'all about to do?
(16:11):
Is sacrificed this pig to Zeus.Zeus said he wants to fucking bacon,
period and then um and they werelike, but we need a Jewish
volunteer to do it. So thenwhen one step forward to do it,
because remember they were like you haveto do this or we're gonna kill you,
m Matthias was like fuck you andkilled him, stabbed him to death,
(16:33):
and all hell broke out. Thedrama drama, am I't that drama?
I mean they were the drama.Yes, So the Greek army tried
to be like, yeah, chillout, chill, chill, it's all
good. But the Jews were likefuck you. They were armed and slaughtered
the entire Greek patrol. So whatyou gotta do. Matthias had five cents
(17:00):
Johanna Simon, Jonathan Judah, andUm Alizer Eliza Alazar. I'm not sure
it's the Alazar for me. Hisname was Alaza Alisa, like the overly
sweet alcohol. So they went tothe mountains and organized a gorilla army.
(17:22):
It wasn't just a regular army.It was a gorilla army army literally in
the mountains, and originally it wasonly about three hundred men, but it
grew to over six thousand, butit never topped twelve thousand. Judah was
a general and he was also knownas ever topped twelve thousand? I have
(17:44):
never topped twelve thousand? Is thata new goal we should go for?
Not this point in our lives?Yeah? No, definitely not. Do
you imagine? No? I don'twant to. I don't even want to.
I don't want to do that shitevery night once like anyway. Sorry.
(18:06):
So, Judah was a general andhe was known as Judah the Maccabee,
and as the infamous words of thelegendary Tommy Pickle says, a macababy's
gotta do what a maccababy's gotta dowhen the Syrian Greek army, So,
my dude, this was a Syrianslash Greek army invaded Judea with an army
(18:29):
of fifty thousand. Judah the Maccabeeplayed the long game and out maneuver the
Greek army, forcing their divide.In that divide, they were able to
obviously break them up into much smallergroup, so it's easier to control them.
That is generally the definition of divide. Yes, they killed many thousands,
and it took years, but eventuallythey tore down all of the Greek
(18:52):
great armies. The Gorilla did endup losing many lives. Judah was killed
in the third grade aattle. Alizaydied attacking an elephant. I mean,
if you want to attack an elephant, fuck you. The Jays died,
but the only brother to survive wasSimon, Simon Simon, so they came
(19:15):
to thinking to kick ass and takenames. In the last battle, which
was at the fortress of Antonius,which guarded the Temple like the Big Temple,
the Temple Temple. When Antonas feltthe Jews did come back to the
temple, they shattered the tiny penisstatue and cleaned the temple as well as
(19:37):
they could. Any priest who workedfor the Greeks were sent away or killed,
And in cleaning the temple they onlyfound one small flask of uncontaminated oil
with the seal of the high priest. So by Torah law, the flame
of the Menorah in the temple couldonly be lit with a specifically prepared pure
(19:59):
olive oil. So for all ofall Catholics it's basically like their holy water,
like it's done specifically by them ina certain way. So um so
they found this small blast, butit was only enough to burn for one
day, and it would take eightdays to produce more. But what would
(20:22):
they do? What would they do? They lit it and miraculously it burned
for eight days. So that iswhy Hanukkah lasts for eight nights. It
is called the Festival of Lights,and it is celebrated with scripture more modernly
presence, and obviously you light thecandles on once a night at sundown,
(20:48):
and it also has games like theDrado. Now, the last little cute
bit I'm gonna leave you is thatit is important to note that Hanaka is
not the most holy holiday in judeIs. It's actually not even any of
the top The first almost most holyhigh day is Russia Shanna and then it's
yan Kapoor. Right. Yeah,So like everybody like who's like a lot
(21:14):
of people who's like not Jewish thinksthat Hanaka is the high holy day because
it is so close to Christmas andit's more of the like the hallmark holiday,
like that's when you get the consumerismand all that other stuff. Um,
but it's not like they're like youcould work during Hanaka, So it's
(21:36):
not one of the highest Holy Days. But that is the story of Hanaka
and if you want to hear itin fifteen minutes or less episode season four.
I think episode three of the Rugrats, which is available on Paramount,
has the story of Hanka and theyactually if you have the via the um
Orange VHS, it comes with theSanta experience in the Hanaka episode in one
(22:03):
dabd oh, I like that.Yes, so it's awesome. That is
Monica. Oh, Honka, thisisn't a song that I was gonna say.
Is that a real song? That'sI was? Or you could get
Adam Sandler. It's time for Hanka. Put on your Karmica. I love
(22:27):
Adam Sandler, all right, he'sa little clown. But so Brittany,
teach me, teach me about Klanza. Okay, are you guys ready?
I'm ready? Okay, So Kanzait's at the same time every year,
so that runs December twenty six toJanuary one. This year, Hanaka inswn
(22:51):
December twenty six. Okay, Sonot you being Jewish and having Africa roots,
go off, Queen, I mean, and there are plenty of African
Jewish folks too, exactly. SoQuanza has basically been like a joke for
years. It's actually really fucked up, but it's something that everybody just kind
of like laughed about for a longtime because people were like, oh,
(23:11):
it's a made up holiday. Highschool taught us about Quanza, and elementary
school we had went to school infucking Connecticut. We went to school in
New Haven. Not just in Connecticut, we went to school in New Haven.
And we actually have a little performancewhere we did like a little like
thing of Hanka and because they werebasically like, if you're going to celebrate
Christmas, you have to celebrate allthe winter holidays. So and then we
(23:36):
did a little thing about Quanza andme, I was only sick, so
I don't remember it. He said, we did it, but I don't
remember anything. I remember doing it, but I don't remember. Like,
no, I feel it. Ifeel it. I'm not mad at it.
Listen, you did it. That'sthe important part fun being quite honest.
So Quanza is actually a cultural holiday. It's not based in a religion.
(24:00):
It's for generally speaking African Americans andanybody that engages in Pan Africanism.
So it's the persons that were essentiallyripped out of their fucking homes during the
Transatlantic slave trade. So ultimate goalof Quanzo was to create a space where
like, here's the thing. Itwas to create a space where black people
(24:23):
could celebrate themselves and aspects of theculture like that we would have ripped.
And remember the DNA tests aren't whatthey are now exactly, so especially not
in the fucking sixties. And ratherthan engaging in um specifically the holidays of
(24:44):
like a dominant culture, so likea Christmas. And at one point Christmas
and Quanzo were like direct enemies becausethe guy that created Quanzo was just like,
honestly, fuck all them Christians.And then after a while people were
like, I'm African American and aChristian and I want to celebrate Kuanza And
(25:07):
he was like, I get it, because it's Christianity was the religion of
the oppressors um well, and Iwas like, what is there? But
there are African countries that are Christianand the Christian but they were all through
whiteness. No, not Ethiopia.I don't think that's what I mean.
Like, and so most of like, so when it comes to African Americans,
(25:30):
most of it is because like slaveowners, Yeah, we're just like
you gotta do. They were Protestant, and they were like, you're gonna
if you don't white Jesus, weyou're done, white baby Jesus. But
eventually he did learn um from that, and he was just like, all
right, cool. It doesn't haveto be a direct like from like a
(25:53):
direct split from. It doesn't haveto be a direct split. But it
can't be like we're not they're notthe same. It's amical breakup. We're
not friends. You can't sit thereco parenting to an extent after their divorce.
Yes, yes, yes, yes, that is a perfect way to
put it. Quanza's status the coparent motherfucker. So anyways, there are
(26:18):
seven principles of Quanza, my dad. Seven principles of Quanza their unity,
self determination, collective work, andresponsibility. Cooperative economics. So basically,
this is where your community takes careof itself. It has its own like
grocery stores and I don't know,five minute tire and lube spots and like
(26:41):
they're all your family doctor, right, Like they're all owned by people on
the bank in the community that engagespart of the community. And so that
was very much a part of thecooperative economics that I'm discussing. And an
interesting a part about it is iswhen you read about like the founder of
(27:03):
Quanza's Malana Karenga, that's who foundedit. When you read about his philosophies
and his writings towards Quanza, theyget very like it's giving marks. And
he and the Black Panthers were likein direct competition. They fucking hated each
other, but they believe the samethings because Black Panthers identified as Marxist Leninists,
(27:29):
and his stuff is giving very marks, like he walked out into the
runway and they're wearing the same outfit. Yeah, they're wearing the same outfit,
but it's a lot of misunderstandings andtrains passing in the night. It
absolutely was. It absolutely was sogoing. Oh I didn't finish what they
are um sorry, Also purpose,creativity and faith period there we are honestly
(27:55):
all great things to celebrate. Exactly, girl, that's what I say.
So mister Kurenga created Kwanza while hewas engaged in a doctoral program, so
he's really smart. He was gettingsuper educated out period home. Because one
thing a bitch doesn't happen going todo is doctor that is high miss Willingham,
(28:18):
this is SO and so Capital Services, and we're trying to reach you
for payment of the Saints. Gerassie, you need to pay this debt with
your high school diploma period, bloodof your first child. So she's almost
an adult. She gonna have herown bill suit though. That's right.
(28:41):
I can't wait to fuck with herabout that. Mmm. She doesn't even
know anyways. So he was inthe sixties in California, UM, studying
in a doctoral program, but notto be a doctor, literally doctoral.
Sam, I'm fucking talking to youhow you were never going to be a
doctor? The white the Watts riotsbroke out and thank rod nicking in the
(29:04):
sixties. Um, there's a lotof like background on it. There's a
lot of the Great migration, racialsegregation, UM O J. Simpson,
et cetera. And so this brokeout and creating a said I'm like,
I'm fucking done this. She's done, She's you know what she's done.
So I'm tired of these fucking whitepeople. I'm tired of dealing with them.
(29:27):
Um, honestly, though, I'mover it. We're gonna separate a
little bit. We're gonna do ourown ship and We're gonna start with fucking
Kwanza. And people were just like, I mean, whatever, bro,
whatever you want to do, whatever, and so the official practice or colors
of Kwanza. And I spoke Kuanzaqu a n zou and then I spokeed
(29:57):
r A R. Okay, Ibit, you don't even want to see
Okay. I had to like rollback in my seat, like no please,
I love the comfy look out ofhere. Okay. So um,
(30:19):
I put elephant as e L EF A n T. You know what,
survive as s U R b Ic e um. I put around
service service. I put descent asd E S E N T M.
(30:40):
This is yeah. So same isso Kwanza with a qu um. Their
official colors are black, red,and green. So blackest for the people,
redest for the struggle, and greenis for hope for the future.
So there is um. Fuck.I didn't look up the name of this
(31:03):
thing. I almost called it amanura. It's it's called a canara.
Oh my god. M So thelittle thing behind me, which is not
a manora, it's not a manora. I call it the candlestickholder for the
fireplace. I don't know why thecandlestickholder for the fireplace has seven spaces,
(31:26):
and so there's one black candle whichgoes in the middle and is lit first,
and each of the other candles representpart of the struggle, and they
are put in the candlestickholder for thefireplace from right red to left grain.
And this isn't to help show theprogress from like all the fucked up shit
(31:48):
we're going through to hope for thefuture. So the red candles are our
self determination, which is a secondcandle lit cooperative, an omics, and
creativity. But I only wrote creative, and it might even say creatine if
I'm being quite honest. And sothose are placed Oh I'm sorry, I
(32:10):
did that backwards. They're placed onthe left. We go left to right,
starting with okay, so like howpeople like, what is it like
in Chinese? You read like rightto left or whatever it is, or
it's left. We're still going leftto right like we would read a book.
(32:30):
I just can't fucking read my notes. Um, So we start we
like that black candle first. Idon't think they stay lit. Um,
well, I mean, how willthey stay with though they don't have exactly
Honestly, that's a fire hazard evenif it did fire hazard and so you
(32:52):
like the black one on the firstday, like this is us, we
are the people, um living inour blackness. And then the next day
you like that black one first still, but then next scandal and you go
as you like the middle? Canyou exactly for all seven days? Oh?
I can't read these notes? Soso do do they have to do
(33:15):
it like after dark? Like umhannaka is at night after sundown? Or
is it just like only time nowseven am? Well? Fuck you want
to but it is a celebration,so it's meant to be like a lot
of people, and it's meant toyou're a little supposed to be a little
drunk from what I could read.Um, if I read libations one more
(33:36):
time, I was gonna fucking writtenby at all our family exactly. Also
supposed to wear your can take cloth. I heard Nancy Pelosi has got a
really nice sail on it. Um, Nancy Pelosi is our quanza queen okay
(33:58):
was legit though like it looked legit. Oh, it had to have been.
Nancy Pelosi doesn't do cheap ship chipcheap shit. Um. But clanza
has spread throughout the years, eventhough people like treated as a joke and
we talked about it on the BoomDogs. And as long as Nancy bought
(34:19):
it from an African source, herhabit, as long as she put back
to the community, who cares.Listen. Can you imagine Walmart Walmart right,
thanks, right next to the pleatherdress, the um Walmart oh my
(34:44):
god outfits and the ugly Christmas sweater, then you have a knee cloth,
and then you have what they believeJewish clothing at the holiday would look like
no, but it would be cheapbecause it's not Walmart. Okay, cut
this out. But they would putlike a really shitty wig next to it,
(35:04):
like a party city wig, partycity because like, you're not because
it's like, yeah, we knowyou're not supposed to show your hair,
so here's a wig, bitch.Sure, yeah, they would all.
Yeah, I'm surprised Walmart doesn't havelike little electric minoras where the lights come
on one by one and they stayon every day. Honestly they should.
(35:29):
I'm a little bit six twenty twentytwo. Why don't they have that's two?
They have a um oh my god, it's not an elf on the
shelf. They have a um amention No, it's a it's a mention
a bench. But yeah, honestly, let's get a sleep on the soup.
(35:51):
I want to sleep so bad.But yes, you're supposed to be
with friends and family. And it'sreally spread throughout the world despite being treated
as a joke for so long.Um, people in Canada will engage.
People in South America and Africa haveengaged. Um. And from what I've
seen from the ones that I've beento, it's a it's a good time
(36:15):
yourself and exact your culture and whoyou are, especially when you had your
culture in from you, so youmake a new one exactly. So,
yeah, that's guenda grandau we are. And it's only officially spelled one way.
Um me spelling at qua and zamakes sense, but it's wrong.
(36:39):
It's wrong. It is Mister Kurengowould be so pissed off. Probably celebrate
what you want to celebrate this season, Happy holidays, happy holiday, because
there's a million of them this aroundthis time of year. However you want
(37:00):
to celebrate. We have lots ofpeople who have mixed traditions. They celebrate
Christmas and Hanaka and maybe even Quansaas well. We have people who don't
celebrate anything, and that is okaytoo. Ye. I celebrate commercial Christmas
me too. I love a commercialChristmas bit to work all week. I
(37:23):

(00:44):
there. We're getting up there inage. We're middle aged. Bitch,
shut your horm mouth. It's beena it's been a long time since we're
actually drunk on a oh my god, probably since the times when we were
sucking dick on podcasts day. Wewere going to talk about some other winter
(01:08):
holidays. One of the reasons thatI refused to say, Mary motherfucking Christmas,
Happy holidays, within our happy holidays, holler her happy Halliards. Sorry.
So, so we're focused very specificallyon two holidays, and we're bringing
(01:37):
it to you drunk history style.Yes. So, yes, this may
or may not be accurate. Weare not um experts in these fields.
Mine will be accurate. I gotnotes. Hope I got notes too,
but I really did. I tryto get um like trustworthy m sources um,
(02:00):
but not knowing which ones in thatspecific religion are accurate. I just
went with Jewish history dot org.That feels right. That feels right.
So if you guys can't tell umwindsor we'll be doing I almost said Kwanzaka,
don't be doing Kwanza. Do youwant to start because by default your
(02:24):
holidays older than mine? Or Ican start? Oh? I mean it
really is because this shit started inlike some six one sixty something before hay
sus BC, before common era.Yeah, no, off, okay,
(02:47):
I see you out here being thefirst go off queens Queen. I will
be talking about Hanaka and just soyou guys know, t get this year
has a Rugrats Hanuka sweatshirt for thekids. They do they do. At
(03:07):
first, I was like, ohmy gosh, it's gonna be a Rugrats
um Christmas hoodie. I'm gonna getit. And then I'm like it's a
Rugrats Honnaka hookie. I'm like,that's so cookie hoodie. And I immediately
sent it to the group chat,but I think Brittany was too busy to
see it. I was making somecash money. Yeah, so did you
(03:28):
know I saw Melissa's COVID tests.Oh poor thing, Melissa. Did you
guys know that Britton that Brittany hasnever seen the Rugrats Honka Special? And
I say it like that only becausethat's how the kids pronounce it in the
(03:51):
Honnoka Special's like what Hanka? Andthe one thing that I've never actually been
able to grasp my head around,and I still haven't. I don't have
an answer for you is why there'smore than one spelling. But I'm on
my business. That was going tobe question number one. I'm gonna my
(04:13):
business on that one because that onegot don't got anything to do with me.
I don't got to explain everything.True. I should do the research,
yep, I should do the research. M hmmmm. So this happened
like back in the day, likeback back back in the day. Uh,
this started this like the eighteen fifties, na, bitch, not when
(04:39):
Brian was born. This was I'mgonna try to do some math. This
was approximately two thousand, one hundredand ninety years ago ish. It started
(05:00):
about one ninety before Jesus okay,so one hundred and ninety years before Homie
was bored. This is when theyears were still going backwards. Right,
So I will never understand that,Like, how did they know? Is
that the Georgian calendar that's like thatGregorian? Oh, Georgian not it might
(05:30):
be you can hold on, holdon. I think it is the what
you said, it's not the Ethiopianone. We know that for sure.
They know it's Christmas time. SoBritney has a few triggers, the first
and most prominent being reverse racism.But do they know it's Christmas? If
(05:57):
you listen to our Christmas episode twoyears ago, you'll know it's another trigger
of hers because they fucking know becauseit's one of the oldest Christian countries in
the fucking world. No, theyou know what snow is too? In
Africa? Did you know that?And oh did you also know that in
Africa they have like their only thirdquote unquote third world because that's all the
(06:25):
weights wanted to be and that's whatthey keep telling us. But so Africans
do have the Internet and every theydo, and you know what, they
also have clean water, as theydid tell us bitch Die in that TikTok
when they were like, oh,shouldn't you you're in Africa, shouldn't you
be conserving your water? And theywere like, um, at least I
(06:48):
have at least we could drink ourwater. And I'm like, that's fired.
But anyway, if you could tellwe're gonna go off topic like five
thousand times because we pregamed for thisepisode because we wanted it to be like
a drunk Hicks, drunk history,drunk hickstorym TM or registered or copyright,
(07:11):
I don't know. We I don'twant to get sued. Don't sue us.
Please, don't sue us. I'malready getting sued and I don't want
to get sued again. Okay,let me let me finish this drink so
I can start. Michael Pito coquitois not part of the Hanaka traditions.
What it could be, if y'allwant it to be, is bomb as
(07:35):
fuck. But it is not atraditional Hanaka drink. You've got a Jewish
woman Shamary is a Puerto Rican manmhm. Done or either or done or
the other way, or you couldbe you could be a Jewish Puerto Rican.
You can be a Jewish Puerto Rican. But I think that Judaism goes
(07:55):
through the mother. Yes, yes, yeah, you're right, it goes
through the mother. But you couldbe a you could absolutely be a Jewish
Puerto Rican. Because in fact,we're gonna what we're gonna, We're gonna
break down the race versus ethnicity versusor all this other stuff at some point,
and because it is a topic,but not a topic we're gonna talk
(08:18):
about tonight. I'm talking about whathappened over two thousand years ago, beginning
in approximately one ninety b c e. Before Christ. And so Jewish Puerto
Rican, good for her. Youcompletely miss what I said, Yeah I
(08:41):
did. I said before Christ himself. So back then the Jews and the
Greeks were Vibin and Kikian in Jerusalem. So we're gonna take we're I'm going
to talk about Israel and what Israelis today. We're gonna talk about Israel
(09:03):
is back then like the original Yeah, the Ogs. So back then they
were exchanging culture. They were alittle melting pot. And by exchanging culture,
what I really mean is that theywere the Jews were assimilating to the
predominantly white Greek culture. Yeah,because whites are fucking assholes. So and
(09:26):
obviously not all of them, uum, about one third of the Jews
at the time did assimilate that we'rein this area. It has a lot
of Jews because Judaism was the prominentreligion at the time. That so the
(09:46):
Jews was Jewish. Jesus was Jewishand guess what, y'all, he was
brown too. The Jews who startedbucket with the Greek culture at the expense
of Judaism became known in the streetsas Helenists. Um so, so yeah
they were Helenists. So h EL L Yeah, okay, girl,
(10:07):
Yeah, so yeah they weren't.They weren't the ones that people as fucking
with. An estimated third or moreof the Jewish population at the time were
Helenist, and so this included eatingpork. They also reversed their circumcisions.
(10:30):
So I had questions about this,and they still do these today. It
could be a correction because maybe theytook a little bit too much off or
someone wanted their peskin. But buttoday when these are done, it's done
(10:50):
under anesthesia. The same procedures thatwere done they do now were done men
without any that's a note for me, don't yeah, so would have a
weenie. So what they would dois sometimes they would pull some of the
skin up um, so they wouldhave a foreskin or now what they do
(11:15):
is they usually take some of theskin from the ball sack and put it
around. I mean, I thinkmost people could deal without the balls,
makes sense. It's just like thegrossest part of the body. Anyway,
that's not what they're talking about.And also some of them bow to idols,
which obviously in a Christianity and Judaismyou're not supposed to put the false
(11:39):
prophets idols. So and according tothe website they quote became self hating enough
to side with the enemies of Israel. They had things to say about them.
So it wasn't about one ninety beforeJesus the shit started hitting the fan
(12:01):
between two posts Alexandrian empires, theSeleucid and the Potomac. So the Seleucids
were like, fuck this ship,We're fin to fuck y'all up, and
they mounted an invasion which took themthrough the land of Israel, which was
(12:22):
like sandwiched in between them. Soobviously they were kind of stuck in the
middle of this whole like fuck you, no, fuck you bitch, I
kill you, I kill you,bitch. It was a mess. So
after that, the Greeks were like, we're gonna control you. You're not
gonna be Jewish anymore. You haveto fuck with zusanum or you could fuck
(12:45):
off into the afterlife like they broughtZeus into it. No Zeus. They
forced the Jews to finance the warthrough taxes that they had to pay.
They really said, you know what, fuck you, you're gonna pay for
this bullshit. They say, Mexico'spaying for the wall. Yep, that's
it. That's exactly what it was. The audacity, the audacity, and
(13:09):
the caucassity, because um, theGreeks were white. They forced the Jews
to financial war, like I said, and they forced them to quarter their
soldiers in Jewish homes y'all. Itwas a couple of years ago I found
out what quartering is in their homes. Yeah. And then after that the
(13:33):
Greeks were like, you know whatJudaism is? Over who? They canceled
Judy, they canceled he's trying tobe like the Greeks right before Hanka,
get out of here, out ofhere. So they took the statutes of
Zeus, and you bet your hotass that the statue had a tiny penis
(13:56):
because you know, the Greeks lovedthem some tiny penises. I know,
they're like so into it. Andthere's actually a reason, because they were
based. They didn't have like athing for like excess, and so they
were like, oh this big penisesor it's excess, we don't need that
or and so that's why small peniseswere like revered and big penises that were
(14:18):
like buck that. So if you'rea Greek and you have a tiny penis,
blame your ancestors, because they fuckingeugenics that shit out of you.
They took the statue, put himin the courtyard of the temple, and
they banned the observance of the Sabbathand said that if you do that shit,
we'll end you. We're gonna killyou. That's it. You're done.
Then. According to the Talmud records, there was a period of time
(14:41):
that lasted for a decade where theGreek officer in town had the right to
quote live with a woman on herwedding night before her husband a b and
by live with they mean right clearly, they were allowed to do whatever the
fuck they wanted and it was completelylegal even though she was wedded. And
they also said no more cuppy piecefor you, and they found out that
(15:05):
you circumcised your son. Both fatherand son were put to death. My
thing is, what is the obsessionwith infant penises? Why are we so
worried about what an infants penis lookslike? Anyway, they then erected Greek
altars to the Greek idols and demandedthat sacrifices be offered on a regular basis
(15:28):
in every Jewish town. And soremember time is going backwards at this point,
around one hundred and sixty six,someone finally said, you know what,
fuck this shit, You're done.Matthias and his family, known as
the Hesimonians, they said, you'redone. You're done, You're done.
That's it, your cancel, We'refucking through with this. Now. Not
(15:48):
much is known about this family exceptthey were of noble descent and they lived
in a small town called Moden,which was at that time about twelve miles
away from jeru Ulam. Now itdoes exist today, but it's like more
like twenty miles away. Okay,So one day the Greeks marched in.
They set up an altar and waslike, see what y'all about to do?
(16:11):
Is sacrificed this pig to Zeus.Zeus said he wants to fucking bacon,
period and then um and they werelike, but we need a Jewish
volunteer to do it. So thenwhen one step forward to do it,
because remember they were like you haveto do this or we're gonna kill you,
m Matthias was like fuck you andkilled him, stabbed him to death,
(16:33):
and all hell broke out. Thedrama drama, am I't that drama?
I mean they were the drama.Yes, So the Greek army tried
to be like, yeah, chillout, chill, chill, it's all
good. But the Jews were likefuck you. They were armed and slaughtered
the entire Greek patrol. So whatyou gotta do. Matthias had five cents
(17:00):
Johanna Simon, Jonathan Judah, andUm Alizer Eliza Alazar. I'm not sure
it's the Alazar for me. Hisname was Alaza Alisa, like the overly
sweet alcohol. So they went tothe mountains and organized a gorilla army.
(17:22):
It wasn't just a regular army.It was a gorilla army army literally in
the mountains, and originally it wasonly about three hundred men, but it
grew to over six thousand, butit never topped twelve thousand. Judah was
a general and he was also knownas ever topped twelve thousand? I have
(17:44):
never topped twelve thousand? Is thata new goal we should go for?
Not this point in our lives?Yeah? No, definitely not. Do
you imagine? No? I don'twant to. I don't even want to.
I don't want to do that shitevery night once like anyway. Sorry.
(18:06):
So, Judah was a general andhe was known as Judah the Maccabee,
and as the infamous words of thelegendary Tommy Pickle says, a macababy's
gotta do what a maccababy's gotta dowhen the Syrian Greek army, So,
my dude, this was a Syrianslash Greek army invaded Judea with an army
(18:29):
of fifty thousand. Judah the Maccabeeplayed the long game and out maneuver the
Greek army, forcing their divide.In that divide, they were able to
obviously break them up into much smallergroup, so it's easier to control them.
That is generally the definition of divide. Yes, they killed many thousands,
and it took years, but eventuallythey tore down all of the Greek
(18:52):
great armies. The Gorilla did endup losing many lives. Judah was killed
in the third grade aattle. Alizaydied attacking an elephant. I mean,
if you want to attack an elephant, fuck you. The Jays died,
but the only brother to survive wasSimon, Simon Simon, so they came
(19:15):
to thinking to kick ass and takenames. In the last battle, which
was at the fortress of Antonius,which guarded the Temple like the Big Temple,
the Temple Temple. When Antonas feltthe Jews did come back to the
temple, they shattered the tiny penisstatue and cleaned the temple as well as
(19:37):
they could. Any priest who workedfor the Greeks were sent away or killed,
And in cleaning the temple they onlyfound one small flask of uncontaminated oil
with the seal of the high priest. So by Torah law, the flame
of the Menorah in the temple couldonly be lit with a specifically prepared pure
(19:59):
olive oil. So for all ofall Catholics it's basically like their holy water,
like it's done specifically by them ina certain way. So um so
they found this small blast, butit was only enough to burn for one
day, and it would take eightdays to produce more. But what would
(20:22):
they do? What would they do? They lit it and miraculously it burned
for eight days. So that iswhy Hanukkah lasts for eight nights. It
is called the Festival of Lights,and it is celebrated with scripture more modernly
presence, and obviously you light thecandles on once a night at sundown,
(20:48):
and it also has games like theDrado. Now, the last little cute
bit I'm gonna leave you is thatit is important to note that Hanaka is
not the most holy holiday in judeIs. It's actually not even any of
the top The first almost most holyhigh day is Russia Shanna and then it's
yan Kapoor. Right. Yeah,So like everybody like who's like a lot
(21:14):
of people who's like not Jewish thinksthat Hanaka is the high holy day because
it is so close to Christmas andit's more of the like the hallmark holiday,
like that's when you get the consumerismand all that other stuff. Um,
but it's not like they're like youcould work during Hanaka, So it's
(21:36):
not one of the highest Holy Days. But that is the story of Hanaka
and if you want to hear itin fifteen minutes or less episode season four.
I think episode three of the Rugrats, which is available on Paramount,
has the story of Hanka and theyactually if you have the via the um
Orange VHS, it comes with theSanta experience in the Hanaka episode in one
(22:03):
dabd oh, I like that.Yes, so it's awesome. That is
Monica. Oh, Honka, thisisn't a song that I was gonna say.
Is that a real song? That'sI was? Or you could get
Adam Sandler. It's time for Hanka. Put on your Karmica. I love
(22:27):
Adam Sandler, all right, he'sa little clown. But so Brittany,
teach me, teach me about Klanza. Okay, are you guys ready?
I'm ready? Okay, So Kanzait's at the same time every year,
so that runs December twenty six toJanuary one. This year, Hanaka inswn
(22:51):
December twenty six. Okay, Sonot you being Jewish and having Africa roots,
go off, Queen, I mean, and there are plenty of African
Jewish folks too, exactly. SoQuanza has basically been like a joke for
years. It's actually really fucked up, but it's something that everybody just kind
of like laughed about for a longtime because people were like, oh,
(23:11):
it's a made up holiday. Highschool taught us about Quanza, and elementary
school we had went to school infucking Connecticut. We went to school in
New Haven. Not just in Connecticut, we went to school in New Haven.
And we actually have a little performancewhere we did like a little like
thing of Hanka and because they werebasically like, if you're going to celebrate
Christmas, you have to celebrate allthe winter holidays. So and then we
(23:36):
did a little thing about Quanza andme, I was only sick, so
I don't remember it. He said, we did it, but I don't
remember anything. I remember doing it, but I don't remember. Like,
no, I feel it. Ifeel it. I'm not mad at it.
Listen, you did it. That'sthe important part fun being quite honest.
So Quanza is actually a cultural holiday. It's not based in a religion.
(24:00):
It's for generally speaking African Americans andanybody that engages in Pan Africanism.
So it's the persons that were essentiallyripped out of their fucking homes during the
Transatlantic slave trade. So ultimate goalof Quanzo was to create a space where
like, here's the thing. Itwas to create a space where black people
(24:23):
could celebrate themselves and aspects of theculture like that we would have ripped.
And remember the DNA tests aren't whatthey are now exactly, so especially not
in the fucking sixties. And ratherthan engaging in um specifically the holidays of
(24:44):
like a dominant culture, so likea Christmas. And at one point Christmas
and Quanzo were like direct enemies becausethe guy that created Quanzo was just like,
honestly, fuck all them Christians.And then after a while people were
like, I'm African American and aChristian and I want to celebrate Kuanza And
(25:07):
he was like, I get it, because it's Christianity was the religion of
the oppressors um well, and Iwas like, what is there? But
there are African countries that are Christianand the Christian but they were all through
whiteness. No, not Ethiopia.I don't think that's what I mean.
Like, and so most of like, so when it comes to African Americans,
(25:30):
most of it is because like slaveowners, Yeah, we're just like
you gotta do. They were Protestant, and they were like, you're gonna
if you don't white Jesus, weyou're done, white baby Jesus. But
eventually he did learn um from that, and he was just like, all
right, cool. It doesn't haveto be a direct like from like a
(25:53):
direct split from. It doesn't haveto be a direct split. But it
can't be like we're not they're notthe same. It's amical breakup. We're
not friends. You can't sit thereco parenting to an extent after their divorce.
Yes, yes, yes, yes, that is a perfect way to
put it. Quanza's status the coparent motherfucker. So anyways, there are
(26:18):
seven principles of Quanza, my dad. Seven principles of Quanza their unity,
self determination, collective work, andresponsibility. Cooperative economics. So basically,
this is where your community takes careof itself. It has its own like
grocery stores and I don't know,five minute tire and lube spots and like
(26:41):
they're all your family doctor, right, Like they're all owned by people on
the bank in the community that engagespart of the community. And so that
was very much a part of thecooperative economics that I'm discussing. And an
interesting a part about it is iswhen you read about like the founder of
(27:03):
Quanza's Malana Karenga, that's who foundedit. When you read about his philosophies
and his writings towards Quanza, theyget very like it's giving marks. And
he and the Black Panthers were likein direct competition. They fucking hated each
other, but they believe the samethings because Black Panthers identified as Marxist Leninists,
(27:29):
and his stuff is giving very marks, like he walked out into the
runway and they're wearing the same outfit. Yeah, they're wearing the same outfit,
but it's a lot of misunderstandings andtrains passing in the night. It
absolutely was. It absolutely was sogoing. Oh I didn't finish what they
are um sorry, Also purpose,creativity and faith period there we are honestly
(27:55):
all great things to celebrate. Exactly, girl, that's what I say.
So mister Kurenga created Kwanza while hewas engaged in a doctoral program, so
he's really smart. He was gettingsuper educated out period home. Because one
thing a bitch doesn't happen going todo is doctor that is high miss Willingham,
(28:18):
this is SO and so Capital Services, and we're trying to reach you
for payment of the Saints. Gerassie, you need to pay this debt with
your high school diploma period, bloodof your first child. So she's almost
an adult. She gonna have herown bill suit though. That's right.
(28:41):
I can't wait to fuck with herabout that. Mmm. She doesn't even
know anyways. So he was inthe sixties in California, UM, studying
in a doctoral program, but notto be a doctor, literally doctoral.
Sam, I'm fucking talking to youhow you were never going to be a
doctor? The white the Watts riotsbroke out and thank rod nicking in the
(29:04):
sixties. Um, there's a lotof like background on it. There's a
lot of the Great migration, racialsegregation, UM O J. Simpson,
et cetera. And so this brokeout and creating a said I'm like,
I'm fucking done this. She's done, She's you know what she's done.
So I'm tired of these fucking whitepeople. I'm tired of dealing with them.
(29:27):
Um, honestly, though, I'mover it. We're gonna separate a
little bit. We're gonna do ourown ship and We're gonna start with fucking
Kwanza. And people were just like, I mean, whatever, bro,
whatever you want to do, whatever, and so the official practice or colors
of Kwanza. And I spoke Kuanzaqu a n zou and then I spokeed
(29:57):
r A R. Okay, Ibit, you don't even want to see
Okay. I had to like rollback in my seat, like no please,
I love the comfy look out ofhere. Okay. So um,
(30:19):
I put elephant as e L EF A n T. You know what,
survive as s U R b Ic e um. I put around
service service. I put descent asd E S E N T M.
(30:40):
This is yeah. So same isso Kwanza with a qu um. Their
official colors are black, red,and green. So blackest for the people,
redest for the struggle, and greenis for hope for the future.
So there is um. Fuck.I didn't look up the name of this
(31:03):
thing. I almost called it amanura. It's it's called a canara.
Oh my god. M So thelittle thing behind me, which is not
a manora, it's not a manora. I call it the candlestickholder for the
fireplace. I don't know why thecandlestickholder for the fireplace has seven spaces,
(31:26):
and so there's one black candle whichgoes in the middle and is lit first,
and each of the other candles representpart of the struggle, and they
are put in the candlestickholder for thefireplace from right red to left grain.
And this isn't to help show theprogress from like all the fucked up shit
(31:48):
we're going through to hope for thefuture. So the red candles are our
self determination, which is a secondcandle lit cooperative, an omics, and
creativity. But I only wrote creative, and it might even say creatine if
I'm being quite honest. And sothose are placed Oh I'm sorry, I
(32:10):
did that backwards. They're placed onthe left. We go left to right,
starting with okay, so like howpeople like, what is it like
in Chinese? You read like rightto left or whatever it is, or
it's left. We're still going leftto right like we would read a book.
(32:30):
I just can't fucking read my notes. Um, So we start we
like that black candle first. Idon't think they stay lit. Um,
well, I mean, how willthey stay with though they don't have exactly
Honestly, that's a fire hazard evenif it did fire hazard and so you
(32:52):
like the black one on the firstday, like this is us, we
are the people, um living inour blackness. And then the next day
you like that black one first still, but then next scandal and you go
as you like the middle? Canyou exactly for all seven days? Oh?
I can't read these notes? Soso do do they have to do
(33:15):
it like after dark? Like umhannaka is at night after sundown? Or
is it just like only time nowseven am? Well? Fuck you want
to but it is a celebration,so it's meant to be like a lot
of people, and it's meant toyou're a little supposed to be a little
drunk from what I could read.Um, if I read libations one more
(33:36):
