Thanksgiving: a holiday built on myths, massacres, and PR spin so strong it convinced us all to eat dry-ass turkey every year. In this special episode of The Mikey Podcast, I rip apart the sanitized history, share what I’m thankful for (like TikTok bans and colonial keggers), and dish out a heaping serving of truth with a side of sarcasm. You’ll never look at Thanksgiving the same way again.

Thanksgiving History Debunked
Pilgrims weren’t saints—they were religious separatists with bad attitudes.
The so-called “First Thanksgiving”: a chaotic, gun-filled rager mistaken for an attack by the Wampanoag.
The real menu: venison, shellfish, and whatever plants didn’t kill you. No turkey or pie.
Thanksgiving’s Evolution
How Abraham Lincoln used Thanksgiving to unite a divided nation.
How Sarah Josepha Hale and Reverend Alexander Young turned it into the cozy holiday we know today.
Closing Thoughts
Thanksgiving isn’t about the past—it’s about surviving the present chaos.
Eat, drink, try not to kill your relatives, and maybe keep the party vibes alive with some 1621-style shenanigans.
Stay safe, stay weird, and question everything.
