  Hello, hello, hello, hey, hey, hey.
• 0:37
  Did you say happy birthday? Happy Wednesday.
• 0:40
  Oh, I was like, no, I clearly know your birthday is.
• 0:46
  I'm like, we're not there yet. I'm.
• 0:53
  Not it looks like we are in a wintery goodness, the both of
• 0:57
  us. I had a holiday hat on, but it
• 1:00
  refuses to stay on and falling on the floor.
• 1:03
  So that is where we are. It's kind of like how the world
• 1:09
  is feeling at the moment. Just there.
• 1:14
  If you are listening for the first time or if you're not,
• 1:18
  welcome to your Wednesday night conversation.
• 1:20
  This is live with Phoebe and Freddie.
• 1:22
  I'm Felicia Fifi, minor, and I think that my name.
• 1:28
  So the thing that happens is we both sign in and for some reason
• 1:33
  it decided that I get to keep my name, but I don't get to keep my
• 1:38
  screen name at all. So there's that.
• 1:45
  There you go. And if that.
• 1:49
  That doesn't make any sense. I don't know.
• 1:51
  I don't run. I don't.
• 1:53
  If I ran this, it would run a little bit smoother, I think.
• 1:59
  I think. And over there, looking like the
• 2:04
  heat miser is Freddie Prinze Charming.
• 2:09
  You're welcome. I want you to know that we did
• 2:10
  not talk about our outfits. At all?
• 2:13
  No, it just sort of happened. So anyhow, before anybody says
• 2:25
  anything, we did not plan this and you're welcome.
• 2:32
  Today we have got a packed show. Let's talk about Thanksgiving,
• 2:40
  Let's talk about Friendsgiving. Let's talk about the stress of
• 2:46
  the holidays. I know I am feeling it.
• 2:49
  Hi. Yeah, let's get into it.
• 2:54
  And we have some what the fucks. And we have some good news and
• 2:58
  we'll get into it. Let's see.
• 3:02
  Our quick question for the audience.
• 3:06
  And I encourage you to share this episode with your friends
• 3:11
  so they can join in on the chat. Thank you again, Unplanned.
• 3:17
  But we live here. We live on like, opposite sides
• 3:23
  of the universe, definitely. And no texting had happened, at
• 3:30
  least not about this. Usually if anybody tries to
• 3:35
  like, text me on Wednesdays, like after I'm done with work,
• 3:38
  the chances of me actually responding are slim to none
• 3:42
  because I'm like why? Why are you texting me?
• 3:44
  I'm literally trying to get ready for shit like so yeah.
• 3:51
  Quick questions are what are some things that stress you out
• 3:56
  during the holidays and how are some ways that you manage them
• 4:02
  or manage it? The stress, the thing, the vibe.
• 4:09
  I'll go first. I have already hit a ceiling
• 4:18
  already with the holidays. I feel like this year is a
• 4:22
  little bit. The Thanksgiving was fine, but I
• 4:29
  feel like. But she knows when the show is.
• 4:41
  She even follows our Instagram so she knows.
• 4:45
  She follows our Instagram. She does.
• 4:48
  We're age restricted are. We age restricted.
• 4:52
  We're supposed to be for 18 and over.
• 4:54
  Why is she following our Instagram?
• 4:56
  That's not a lot. That's OK, it's fine.
• 4:58
  She's because now she's watching gay porn, so it's it's fine.
• 5:02
  Oh wow, we'll have to talk about that on the Patreon.
• 5:05
  Anyhow, I would say that increased therapy sessions have
• 5:14
  already begun. I would say if you're partnered,
• 5:22
  if one of you is good at communication, maybe this is the
• 5:26
  time where you kind of keep communicating and make sure that
• 5:34
  you all are on the same page. I'm not speaking from
• 5:39
  experience, but I may be. Experience.
• 5:44
  But I say that even the kids somehow, you know, have this
• 5:52
  vibe, the energy, the. Yeah.
• 5:56
  And it's that antsiness that the weather got good.
• 5:59
  I want to be outside. I want to play, you know, just
• 6:02
  it's yeah, 'cause you. Yeah.
• 6:09
  How do you manage the stress? So it's interesting, like
• 6:15
  usually I don't, I don't get that stressed.
• 6:18
  But this year is different, I think.
• 6:22
  And I don't know if it's like if it's a combination of just the
• 6:29
  state of things, you know what I mean, or like what, what I don't
• 6:35
  know, I don't know what it is. It's like this year seems to be
• 6:39
  a little bit different. I I will, will, will when we
• 6:45
  talk about like the weekend, I will talk more about my stress
• 6:49
  and how I handle or don't handle.
• 6:52
  Thanks. That's that was that.
• 6:57
  Was I? I will, I will, I will talk
• 7:01
  about it because I have no problem talking about it.
• 7:04
  I have no problem being like honest and you know, talking
• 7:09
  about shit that isn't always, you know, fluffy Bunny rabbits
• 7:12
  and and rainbows and stuff. So.
• 7:15
  When have we ever promised people that?
• 7:19
  When we get down to it, I will I will talk a little bit about my
• 7:24
  my stress levels and what may or may not have happened over the
• 7:28
  weekend. OK, OK.
• 7:33
  Well you keep hearing us talk about Patreon, but you can
• 7:38
  support us on Patreon by going to patreon.com/live with Fifi

• 7:53
  there. I've been getting ready on there

• 8:02
  can see us at any time. I have not been doing like lives
• 8:07
  on like social media like before.
• 8:11
  So and if many know the reason but and Facebook doesn't deserve
• 8:20

  that I probably should send back soon 'cause I.

  When she says send back, she doesn't mean return she.
• 9:04
  Means no not return like Marissa will restyle it and send it.
• 9:08
  Back. Send it back for a spa day.
• 9:11
  Yeah, and be like. This is not a Wigs of a Kind wig
• 9:14

• 11:16
  22 Tupperwares. 2 Tupperwares. I forgot my Tupperware.
• 11:22
  I was very mad at myself. That's right.
• 11:25
  There wasn't much left, but anyway, continue.
• 11:28
  Yeah, we'll, we'll, we'll, I'll get get to that.
• 11:30
  We're we're. You look like his cousin.
• 11:35
  Wow, we're insulting each other here.
• 11:38
  Wow, I thought we were friends. Seriously, just be careful who
• 11:44
  you trust. Folks.
• 11:46
  Oh my. God.
• 11:51
  Anyhow, how was your weekend? Let's dive into it.
• 11:56
  Let's. Talk Lord.
• 11:58
  OK, so I feel like my. Weekend is kind of blended into
• 12:02
  yours. It is kind of OK.
• 12:04
  So we talked last week about like how basically from Thursday
• 12:10
  on I was going to be prepping for Friendsgiving, which happens
• 12:12
  on Saturday. And so I'm going to start by
• 12:20
  saying that Saturday was amazing.
• 12:22
  It was, I think we had 30 something people all together
• 12:27
  like show up. We had basically no leftovers.
• 12:35
  I think there was like there was a little bit of ham, there was a
• 12:37
  little bit of Turkey. There was 1 scoop of sweet
• 12:39
  potatoes. There was like there was like
• 12:42
  nothing left, which is amazing considering the Turkey was 24
• 12:46
  lbs. The ham was 10 lbs.
• 12:49
  Like there was a lot of fucking food.
• 12:53
  There was a lot of fucking food. And also I apologize because I
• 12:56
  did say for those that follow us on Patreon, I did say that I was
• 12:59
  going to make sure that I took pictures of all the food.
• 13:02
  I did not, but there's a reason for it.
• 13:05
  So let me kind of break this down.
• 13:09
  So Thursday. Maybe I should have started.
• 13:16
  You can start if you want 'cause mine's gonna mine.
• 13:19
  Mine will be a minute and then I can also roll into the tip from
• 13:21
  this. So if you want to start by all.
• 13:22
  Means OK, yeah, let let's. Yeah, you go, go with, go with
• 13:25
  you first. We'll we'll come back to me.
• 13:26
  We're going to. Circle back around, circle back
• 13:29
  around. I'll just bring my week into
• 13:33
  yours. How about that?
• 13:36
  That sounds more like a plan, because I did have a traditional
• 13:42
  Thanksgiving on Thursday to the fact that when we ended the
• 13:48
  show, I noticed that my sister-in-law had liked the
• 13:55
  episode My sister-in-law never really watches of.
• 14:02
  Course, the one that she does watch.
• 14:04
  And so I was like curious, like I was thinking in the back of my
• 14:10
  head, I didn't like text her and be like, hey, did you watch that
• 14:13
  episode 'cause we were talking about green bean casserole and
• 14:18
  we have for the last two weeks about runny green bean
• 14:22
  casserole. And I found a recipe where you
• 14:26
  like, make the cream of mushroom yourself with cornstarch and
• 14:32
  some other things. And I mentioned it last week.
• 14:39
  So everybody arrives and mind you, by the end of the week
• 14:47
  prior, everybody had decided that I was going to make the
• 14:50
  stuffing, I was going to make potatoes.
• 14:53
  I was going, I was just doing everything.
• 14:58
  I don't know how you do it. It's not.
• 15:00
  I don't. I don't think it's.
• 15:03
  I'll tell you. I'll tell you how I do it.
• 15:05
  We're going to get to that. I don't think I could unless I
• 15:09
  did like preparation like like the things that can be
• 15:13
  refrigerated like make them like a day or two before.
• 15:16
  OK and I I caught the lazy bug this year.
• 15:21
  I barely brined the Turkey. I so day of is yeah, like.
• 15:29
  Name dishonor Dishonor on your house.
• 15:33
  It was. On your cow.
• 15:35
  It was bride, but not for as many days as I like to, but and
• 15:43
  so she walks in with some entrees or some side dishes and
• 15:49
  I go, what's this little container?
• 15:52
  And she goes green bean casserole.
• 15:55
  And it was like this big y'all like usually it's like a it's,
• 16:02
  it was this, it was that. And I was like, Oh yeah,
• 16:09
  somebody watched the episode. And then Friday, what did you do
• 16:21
  on Friday? Friday that I think the daycare
• 16:24
  was open and we went with that. I'm loving how these people are
• 16:30
  like open. It's a pretty penny though, you
• 16:34
  can't get that wrong. But on Saturday we went to
• 16:39
  downtown Mesa 'cause it was so you are so right.
• 16:43
  Like this is so confusing being in November.
• 16:46
  But then I'm in shorts and the the sweater I had on, luckily I
• 16:51
  had a shirt underneath it 'cause then I took it off 'cause I was
• 16:53
  like, this is not like winter Wonderland weather.
• 16:57
  This is like. I'm like, if I'm going to be
• 16:59
  warm like in the winter months, then I had better be like on a
• 17:03
  beach somewhere, you know what I mean?
• 17:05
  Like this is not. That I need to find like some
• 17:09
  like shirts with like Santa on them, but they're T-shirts
• 17:13
  'cause I. Have I have I have a bunch.
• 17:15
  So I am like, I am prepared for this shit.
• 17:18
  I don't, I don't want to be prepared for this shit, but I am
• 17:21
  prepared for this shit. I need to get some.
• 17:25
  And then so we went to downtown Mesa, stood in front of the
• 17:30
  tree, took some pictures in front of the tree, ate at what
• 17:35
  is it called? Mesa Burger.
• 17:39
  It's pretty good. No complaints.
• 17:43
  If you're into like when fusions happen, it's kind of like, I
• 17:49
  don't want to say it's New Mexico.
• 17:52
  Is it New Mexican? Go to the restaurant, figure it
• 17:56
  out. But they they did some fusion
• 18:01
  type things with a burger that was really goods for me.
• 18:04
  I had like a Sonoran hamburger and I thought that I would be
• 18:11
  like, but I, I loved it actually.
• 18:14
  So and they have like a Chiwa's burger.
• 18:18
  So I'm going to try that next time.
• 18:22
  So it was good. Kids enjoyed it.
• 18:25
  You know, kids are picky eaters. So and then in the evening, I
• 18:31
  enjoyed the delights and the treats of from your kitchen.
• 18:39
  And I'm glad that I, I came because usually I, I have a hard
• 18:46
  time escaping. Laughed my ass off, laughed it
• 18:56
  off. And it was a good time.
• 19:00
  It was a good time. And y'all, he's not gonna say
• 19:04
  this, but we all were raving over the food.
• 19:07
  He was saying something else was wrong with something, something.
• 19:10
  And we were like, whatever, whatever it was, it was good.
• 19:18
  It was good. So now it's your turn.
• 19:21
  OK, so so basically from Thursday all the way through
• 19:29
  Saturday was prep for Friendsgiving.
• 19:33
  The Turkey was brining from Tuesday to Friday.
• 19:37
  Friday I took it out of the brine, it got lathered with
• 19:41
  almost 2 lbs of bacon butter and then popped back in the fridge
• 19:46
  until Saturday morning. Thursday.
• 19:51
  Now the whole time we're we're my partner and I are both
• 19:54
  cleaning inside and outside. We're arranging, you know, doing
• 19:57
  stuff outside with the, you know, seating areas and stuff
• 19:59
  like that. And then inside it's like all
• 20:02
  the stuff that has to be done in there and it's it's so.
• 20:08
  And then the never ending dishes because I'm using all of them.
• 20:12
  So it was literally like I would load dishwasher and then
• 20:16
  immediately have to load another load into the dishwasher and
• 20:18
  then immediately have to load it because it was just a constant
• 20:20
  thing. So Thursday we're cleaning.
• 20:24
  I also made the pumpkin mousse, which was a big hit.
• 20:27
  People seem to really like that, the chocolate, but the clam,
• 20:30
  which people seem to really enjoy.
• 20:32
  There was none left of that. I never said you didn't do the
• 20:36
  outside. Why are you arguing with me?
• 20:40
  I also. Made you were there.
• 20:43
  The bacon butter, so that I made the bacon butter on Thursday and
• 20:47
  I made the cranberry relish on Thursday because the cranberry
• 20:49
  relish served 2 purposes. It was just regular relish and
• 20:53
  then it was also going in the meatballs.
• 20:58
  Friday there were there was nothing left of pretty much
• 21:02
  anything. On Friday, our plans got a
• 21:06
  little bit derailed. I'll get into that.
• 21:07
  But I made the bruleed Maple bourbon pumpkin pie.
• 21:11
  I made the cranberry lime tart. I started the cupcakes.
• 21:15
  I started the meatballs, got them prepped so that all I had
• 21:18
  to do was basically put that like get the the the slow cooker
• 21:20
  and pop it on the thing and be done.
• 21:22
  I made the the boiled cider pie. I roasted the sweet potatoes
• 21:28
  more, cleaning never ending dishes.
• 21:30
  We stopped. We watched the Dancing with the
• 21:33
  Stars finale, picked up a second fridge.
• 21:36
  And then I started to panic. Saturday morning I got up.
• 21:40
  I put the Turkey in the oven. I put the ham in the oven, made
• 21:44
  the mashed potatoes, finished the sweet potatoes, the green
• 21:46
  beans, frosted the cupcakes. But I was so far behind.
• 21:53
  I will, I will get to that. I I like I said, I will say that
• 21:56
  having everybody here was made it worth it.
• 22:00
  It was so good to see people that I haven't seen often or,
• 22:04
  you know, recently. And the fact that everybody
• 22:08
  seemed to really enjoy the food. That always makes me happy.
• 22:10
  Food is like my love language because, you know, and that's
• 22:14
  why I do this. That's why I enjoy doing this.
• 22:17
  And it's one of my favorite traditions that, you know, my
• 22:21
  partner and I have, yeah, we, we started this a few years ago.
• 22:28
  And it's like, I think it's one of my favorite holiday, just
• 22:30
  like just in general my favorite holiday traditions now because
• 22:33
  it gives us a reason to do all the things and, you know, so
• 22:40
  much food, you have no idea. So like I said, I did say I was
• 22:43
  going to take pictures. I took one picture, my kid took
• 22:49
  two pictures, one of the cupcakes, one of the desserts.
• 22:52
  But I will here let me share those real quick.
• 22:54
  So this was my Turkey. So good.
• 22:59
  That was gorgeous and beautifully seasoned and moist
• 23:07
  and juicy and delightful. These are some of the desserts.
• 23:13
  The cheesecake in the middle our friend Nicole made it was very
• 23:17
  good. There's nothing much left that
• 23:18
  left either. And this was already dug into
• 23:22
  things pumpkin mousse. You know, there like there's
• 23:25
  some some of the desserts pies. And then these were the cupcakes
• 23:29
  that were really fucking good. They were a pumpkin spice
• 23:33
  cupcake. They had a layer of of toasted
• 23:37
  marshmallow buttercream and then they were topped with a toasted
• 23:41
  marshmallow meringue that was then toasted.
• 23:45
  I think a few people had more than one.
• 23:51
  They were really good. I will say they were really
• 23:53
  good. So I don't know.
• 23:55
  OK, so we'll we'll just roll right into the tip.
• 23:58
  I don't know if you want to play the intro if you don't want to
• 24:01
  play the. Intro Yeah, let's play.
• 24:02
  It all right, play the thing. So we, we usually take at least
• 24:23
  one episode during the holiday season to kind of talk about
• 24:25
  stress and managing it and stuff, you know, and this, this
• 24:30
  is that episode because I almost lost my shit last week.
• 24:34
  Oh, why? Which doesn't normally happen.
• 24:37
  People that know me know that I I actually handle stress really
• 24:39
  well. Like I don't, I don't get that
• 24:42
  stressed out. It takes a lot to really rattle
• 24:45
  me and and stress can stress can come from anywhere, like, you
• 24:49
  know, financial, family, that fear of not being good enough,
• 24:53
  lack of time, not doing enough, like there's all sorts of things
• 24:57
  that, you know, like I said, I handle stress pretty well, but
• 25:02
  for some reason Friendsgiving prep almost broke me.
• 25:08
  I don't, I don't, I don't know, I don't, I don't usually have an
• 25:10
  issue getting getting everything ready.
• 25:12
  Like the last few years we've done this, it's been fine.
• 25:15
  Like usually you know, right around 3 O clock or so.
• 25:18
  It's like we're just finishing up a couple things, no big deal.
• 25:22
  This year I don't know what happened.
• 25:24
  I think losing time on Friday kind of threw me off because we
• 25:28
  were watching Dancing with the Stars and we went to go get the
• 25:31
  fridge, which the fridge was super fucking helpful.
• 25:33
  And I'm so glad that we have this outside fridge now because
• 25:35
  I was able to we have like, you know, drinks outside now we
• 25:39
  don't have to take up room in the in the inside fridge.
• 25:41
  I was able to put like prep stuff in that fridge without
• 25:44
  taking room up in the inside fridge.
• 25:46
  Like, it was really awesome and I'm so glad that we have it, but
• 25:49
  fuck. As a person, just got a deep
• 25:52
  freezer, yeah. Yeah, And we already have a deep
• 25:56
  freeze outside. Like we have a deep freezer
• 25:58
  outside. But having the fridge, I'm like,
• 25:59
  I'm really excited that we have this fridge.
• 26:00
  Like I really AM. But there were times that I'm
• 26:03
  literally like prepping and cooking and I was trying not to
• 26:08
  break down and just start fucking crying into whatever it
• 26:11
  was that I was doing. And it doesn't really happen
• 26:14
  with me. I don't get like that.
• 26:17
  And so, OK, so when when we put the invite out for
• 26:23
  Friendsgiving, we do a drop in style.
• 26:25
  So that way people don't, you know, they don't feel obligated
• 26:28
  to have to sit at a table or whatever.
• 26:31
  And we always say it's always. Like you went to mommy's house?
• 26:34
  Right. Like it's always after 3:00 PM.
• 26:36
  We were not ready. We were not ready at all.
• 26:40
  And of course, this is the one fucking year that everyone
• 26:45
  decided to be on time. Which?
• 26:47
  Really should have been up on time.
• 26:49
  Dude, between gay time and Poly time, nobody should have been
• 26:52
  there on time. Well I got like 2 against me
• 26:57
  'cause I had it was CPT time going.
• 26:59
  For seriously, like it was literally like 315 and we
• 27:03
  already had like 8 to 10 people there and I'm like what the fuck
• 27:06
  am I? We were still cleaning, still
• 27:07
  organizing, still putting stuff away.
• 27:10
  I hadn't made the garnish for one of the pies.
• 27:12
  The the beans are still on the stove.
• 27:14
  I never got around to making the the the appetizers.
• 27:17
  The Brie appetizers never got made.
• 27:19
  I never had time to do it. I had to say fuck it.
• 27:23
  My partner was in the shower. There were like 10 people there
• 27:26
  and I'm like throwing shit at my daughter so that she could put
• 27:30
  shit away in her room and it literally anything in her room.
• 27:33
  She had a whole bunch of like random shit in her room.
• 27:35
  Like it was Oh my God, it was awful.
• 27:39
  Like one of our friends. I'm like, here, carve the Turkey
• 27:42
  I made. I made.
• 27:44
  Brandon Mcgill's partner sliced up the ham.
• 27:47
  The cupcakes hadn't been frosted yet.
• 27:49
  So I'm like, I'm putting my my daughter on to work on that.
• 27:52
  And then like the drinks hadn't been made.
• 27:54
  Nothing. It was I was not OK.
• 27:57
  I was not OK. And.
• 28:01
  Oh, I was there, Jesse. I just showed up a little CPT
• 28:04
  Time. She showed up later, which is
• 28:06
  fine, like it was, it was fine. Like there were a lot of people
• 28:11
  showed up later in the evening, you know, Lord knows there was
• 28:14
  still food left. It took, it took a few hours
• 28:18
  before I was able to really relax and even attempt to eat.
• 28:24
  Like I made myself a plate at one point and I don't think I
• 28:31
  ate anything on it until much late like it was.
• 28:36
  You ate when I got there. I did I I did the first.
• 28:40
  Time you had eaten. Pretty much, pretty much.
• 28:45
  And it was just because I was so like dealing with like the, the
• 28:49
  adrenaline and not being able to relax and just not being, I was
• 28:55
  not OK. Like I, if I could have, I
• 28:58
  literally would have. I just wanted to sit down in the
• 28:59
  corner and cry somewhere like it was.
• 29:02
  It was. And again, the I think what
• 29:05
  happened is losing the time on Friday is what threw me off
• 29:08
  Otherwise I think I would have been OK, but it was just I
• 29:12
  wasn't. Never had concept of time.
• 29:17
  I, I wasn't, I don't think I was mentally prepared for, you know,
• 29:23
  it was like it, it just, it threw me off so much.
• 29:26
  And even then I was literally like, was it Thursday?
• 29:31
  Friday. I was up until like 3:30 in the
• 29:35
  morning. Oh shit.
• 29:37
  So even staying up literally all night, I still didn't feel like
• 29:43
  I was ready. I still didn't.
• 29:45
  Like I said, I said if you would have done even just half of what
• 29:50
  you said that you were going to do, I think all of us would have
• 29:54
  been like, Oh my God, this is amazing.
• 29:57
  Cause I'm still thinking to myself, how did I cook all the
• 30:00
  things when you did like 10X that?
• 30:04
  And I was like, girl, no. I, I tell people what, what,
• 30:08
  what was on the menu and they're like, what, how much of that are
• 30:11
  you making? I'm like all of it.
• 30:13
  You know what I don't understand?
• 30:16
  Remember last week you were like, yeah, I'm making
• 30:18
  everything and I'm like, no. And I'm like, like ordinarily
• 30:22
  I'm fine with it. I have no problem with it.
• 30:25
  There was just something this year that threw me off so much
• 30:28
  that I I was just not. It was not OK, But yeah, like.
• 30:37
  There is a groove to the kitchen though.
• 30:40
  There is and. And I have a hard time
• 30:44
  explaining that to people because like, if I put the
• 30:47
  Turkey in, then I know that I want to do like the mashed
• 30:51
  potatoes a little later. I know I want to do this dish.
• 30:54
  I want to do this dish. And certain people were like,
• 30:57
  how do you know when the Turkey comes out, if you're going to
• 31:01
  put this or that or. And I'm like, I need you to like
• 31:06
  just escape my little bubble. And then when I call you into
• 31:10
  the bubble, then we'll we'll do the dish that you're looking to
• 31:14
  do 'cause otherwise I'm like. And I'm like, we, we both busted
• 31:21
  our asses. We absolutely did to to get
• 31:23
  everything ready like you and all that.
• 31:26
  Have you been to a a person of color's house while they're
• 31:30
  getting ready for a Thanksgiving or anything 'cause I.
• 31:35
  Not in a very long time, we cook.
• 31:40
  Until like the very, I feel like you go to people's houses and
• 31:46
  they're cooking and you're talking and, you know, and the
• 31:49
  person's in the kitchen and you know, all this stuff is
• 31:52
  happening. You know, you eat like
• 31:55
  appetizers while they're still finishing up in the kitchen and,
• 31:59
  you know. There were no appetizers.
• 32:01
  I forgot to make the appetizer. But I'm just saying that you may
• 32:08
  have to. And I think that you're being
• 32:10
  too hard on yourself. I feel like you're being too
• 32:12
  hard on yourself because you you.
• 32:17
  So, so for me, trying to deal with the stress of that weekend
• 32:21
  was basically just power through.
• 32:24
  And when I when I was finally able to sit down and relax, it
• 32:29
  was great because I was able to sit and socialize.
• 32:33
  And then a bunch of us would end up sitting around the fire pit
• 32:36
  and laughed so much in a very long time.
• 32:41
  It was it was great. It was.
• 32:44
  We'll talk about the laugh, what we laughed at on Patreon.
• 32:49
  So luckily for me, that was like only one sort of small bubbly,
• 32:55
  like one, one small piece of stress that was easily overcome
• 32:59
  and had a good outcome. But there's other stuff like so
• 33:07
  and some of the sort of general like holiday stressors for us
• 33:11
  and for other people are like Christmas gifts or Hanukkah or
• 33:15
  whatever it is that you celebrate because like our kids
• 33:18
  are teens and they're harder to deal with when it comes to
• 33:21
  presents. Like that's, I think that's kind
• 33:26
  of pretty much how we're gonna go this year because it's like,
• 33:29
  otherwise teens suck. I don't, I don't know.
• 33:32
  They're, you know, and then you have one that has a birthday.
• 33:34
  On Christmas Day, taste right? And you never know.
• 33:41
  And they might have seen a thing like TikTok four months ago, but
• 33:45
  now that's not popular anymore, so.
• 33:47
  Right, and that's the whole thing.
• 33:48
  It's like, well, I didn't, I don't like that now.
• 33:50
  I liked it before, but I don't like it now.
• 33:51
  It's like fucking fantastic. And the one has a birthday on
• 33:53
  Christmas, so you know, and that just adds a whole other thing.
• 34:00
  And like, usually my partner and I, like we, we would rather find
• 34:03
  something, you know, meaningful, either like a, you know, a gift
• 34:08
  or an experience, even if it's not something crazy expensive.
• 34:11
  But the kids aren't always good with that.
• 34:13
  They're the ones that complained when we took them to fucking
• 34:14
  Disneyland few years ago for Christmas.
• 34:17
  Like they don't like anything that deviates from the norm.
• 34:22
  They don't like anything that deviates from the norm.
• 34:24
  God forbid we do something that isn't this way.
• 34:28
  Oh my. Gosh.
• 34:29
  I know I was. It was something.
• 34:32
  My next time it's fine. They do not.
• 34:34
  Like I already said it, we're like, you guys suck.
• 34:36
  We're not going to. I'll even pay for myself to go
• 34:41
  on that. For, you know, for some folks,
• 34:45
  you know, parents or their family can be a stressor,
• 34:48
  especially when you're governed by obligation, Like when your
• 34:50
  family's not great, but you're like, well, I have to go, blah,
• 34:52
  blah, blah. Thankfully I don't have that
• 34:55
  problem and I never really feel obligated to go spend time with
• 34:59
  people or do things. I'm just like, fuck it, I'm not.
• 35:01
  No, I don't. If I want to go, I'll go, but
• 35:04
  I'm not going to feel obligated. I never feel obligated.
• 35:06
  I've emailed my dad and my dad writes back he's like, Gee, I
• 35:09
  sure wish we were invited. I'm like, OK, I don't.
• 35:14
  I don't. He said he would have tried to
• 35:16
  make the OK. He said if we had been invited,
• 35:20
  we totally would have tried to make the drive.
• 35:22
  The fuck you will. You're 104 years old.
• 35:25
  You are not driving from Michigan.
• 35:31
  No, also, I don't want you here. The whole point of Friendsgiving
• 35:35
  is to not have to deal with that bullshit.
• 35:38
  And I don't want you here for Friendsgiving with a whole bunch
• 35:45
  of fucking queerdos and you're 800 years old.
• 35:49
  No, I don't know the whole point.
• 35:52
  Is that like your dad coming to like your slumber party?
• 35:55
  Oh, my God. Like, no.
• 35:59
  Like, why don't you invite us to Disneyland for your honeymoon?
• 36:01
  No, that's not going to happen. We're not.
• 36:03
  We're not. We're not doing that.
• 36:04
  The whole point of it is to have a good time, OK?
• 36:06
  We're not, Not, no. Not stopping and taking breaks
• 36:09
  and getting you a wheelchair, got it.
• 36:12
  Get me a wheelchair. You know, and then like if you
• 36:15
  have little kids, that can be rough too, because then you have
• 36:18
  to figure out like what gifts come from Santa, what gifts come
• 36:23
  from you. My partner always said that when
• 36:26
  her kids were little, the bigger gifts came from then the smaller
• 36:30
  gifts came from Santa. That way it wasn't like Santa.
• 36:33
  Likes me better, Santa. Santa likes, you know, how come
• 36:36
  Santa got this family this, but Santa only got me this, you know
• 36:40
  what I mean? And then you like, I see these
• 36:43
  people that have like this ridiculous amount of gifts and
• 36:46
  shit for these little kids that they're going to get played with
• 36:49
  like once tossed aside, forgotten, broken.
• 36:53
  They're just going to whatever you have to deal with like
• 36:55
  electronics. You have to keep up with the
• 36:57
  Joneses because God forbid, right you have.
• 36:59
  God forbid, you know. Little Susie over here gets the
• 37:03
  brand new iPad, but you don't get yours the brand new.
• 37:06
  I like I I Oh, that's a good idea.
• 37:12
  A group. There you go, a group.
• 37:14
  Gift from Santa. Bam.
• 37:18
  That way it's not like the expectation Isn't Santa's going
• 37:21
  to bring me this big fancy thing because he brought this other
• 37:23
  person a big fancy thing. I So I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm
• 37:31
  gonna say this, 'cause we say this a lot and I'm going to say
• 37:33
  it again. And I'm going to reiterate over
• 37:36
  and over and over and over and over again that self-care is key
• 37:40
  right now. Boundaries are key right now.
• 37:44
  Saying no is key right now. And it is OK to say no.
• 37:53
  It is OK to not. Want to go do?
• 37:54
  The thing and like people tend to want like they they I think
• 38:01
  they get so caught up in stuff that they want to do all the
• 38:05
  things and then they end up burnt out and it's like there's
• 38:08
  there's you don't you don't need to like I would say that I'm a.
• 38:11
  Victim of said circumstance. I feel like, well, because I
• 38:17
  work in education, I feel like everybody is racing to the
• 38:23
  finish line and. All these things need.
• 38:27
  To be done which in a normal month or so they would be done
• 38:31
  because you have all this. Time, but now.
• 38:35
  They have literally 7. Days because you know.
• 38:40
  Cut off some because you have holiday parties, you have this,
• 38:44
  that and the other and everybody is literally scrambling and it's
• 38:51
  terrifying. Meeting deadlines is terrifying
• 38:56
  and your mind is on. We cannot forget that when we go
• 39:00
  to work, our minds are still canoodling with things that need
• 39:04
  to be done and appointments that need to be had.
• 39:07
  And right, there's the appointments, there's.
• 39:09
  Work shit, there's family shit, there's shopping, there's all
• 39:13
  the things that are still in your head even though you're
• 39:16
  still trying to do work shit. I'm getting so my the charger on
• 39:20
  my work laptop has died and when I logged off of work today I was
• 39:25
  at like 23% battery life. So until my new charger gets
• 39:29
  here I'm pretty much fucked. So I'm hoping that they won't
• 39:35
  get. Here till like Monday I.
• 39:37
  Don't know. So I'm like, look at that, a day
• 39:39
  off. Now.
• 39:42
  I'm OK. So again, I'm going to say this
• 39:44
  you you do not have to do everything.
• 39:47
  You don't have to get everything that everybody asks you for.
• 39:52
  You don't have to spend all of your money like people.
• 39:57
  Go broke. Trying to do shit and I'm like.
• 40:03
  For for like I don't. Know and like you're I'm not
• 40:06
  saying you know, your kids are not entitled to the newest
• 40:09
  gaming system. They're not entitled to Jack
• 40:11
  shit. They're not like you.
• 40:15
  You don't have to get them the newest iPhone.
• 40:17
  You don't have to get them the newest iPad.
• 40:19
  Whatever the shit is, you don't have to do that just because
• 40:23
  their friends all have it or whatever.
• 40:25
  Like that's not. I see people.
• 40:29
  I see I, I I. Still see this and I'm like,
• 40:33
  really? We're still doing this Like I
• 40:37
  don't I've not this house. Like like.
• 40:43
  You you don't have to bend over backwards to make everybody
• 40:48
  happy while sacrificing your own mental and physical health.
• 40:54
  And physical health is a thing. I've literally spent the last.
• 40:59
  Like 3 days. Sitting on a heating pad because
• 41:04
  Sunday came around and my body went oh you suck.
• 41:10
  And I could not move out move. I was basically in tears with
• 41:14
  the pain in my back. So I was literally like wrapped
• 41:17
  in a heating. Pad for like.
• 41:18
  Three days and even. When I was getting ready
• 41:22
  tonight. My my partner got me a like a
• 41:24
  rechargeable like portable 1 so I'm even sitting there at the
• 41:27
  vanity with a heating pad around my back because it was, well,
• 41:31
  I'm surprised you're not wearing it right.
• 41:33
  Now it might I. Know, but I have too many.
• 41:36
  Layers so I'd have to figure out how to tuck it.
• 41:38
  Plus it it's not cute, doesn't match anything, but you know
• 41:44
  that that I see that too often and people are making themselves
• 41:50
  sick. They're stressing themselves
• 41:52
  out. They're doing all these.
• 41:54
  Things with people that are barely.
• 41:56
  Appreciative. Like they don't.
• 41:58
  When it comes down to it, it's like, are the people that you
• 42:02
  are bending over backwards for? Do they honestly appreciate what
• 42:05
  it is that you are doing? And most of the time, most of
• 42:11
  the time, especially depending and if, especially if you're
• 42:13
  dealing with a lot of kids, they do not give a fuck.
• 42:17
  They don't. They do not.
• 42:20
  I do. And that's like, and, and the
• 42:24
  other thing is you don't have to spend time with family just
• 42:26
  because they're family. Night.
• 42:31
  You don't if you want to, don't if.
• 42:34
  You want to, but you don't have. To you do not have to spend time
• 42:38
  with family just because they are family.
• 42:40
  I have plenty of family that I don't see and I don't care.
• 42:44
  They don't do anything. They don't.
• 42:46
  They don't bring anything extra to my life that I am missing
• 42:49
  without them. Like they don't bring me like
• 42:53
  additional. Joy that I'm like, oh, I haven't
• 42:55
  seen anything to go see anything like my aunt and uncle are
• 42:58
  great. They live in Apache Junction.
• 43:00
  We see them every so often, but. I haven't heard you mention them
• 43:04
  in a while. Like we.
• 43:07
  Just we went to it was like a few it was a couple months or so
• 43:11
  after we got married, went and had dinner with them.
• 43:13
  But like I only see them like a few times a year and I have
• 43:16
  cousins that live in Phoenix that I don't think I say I'm
• 43:21
  sometimes else maybe once a year, but not usually not even
• 43:25
  then. So I will say that I.
• 43:28
  Haven't seen my parents in like 10 years and I feel like I'm a
• 43:36
  little craving for the the home. Life for a little bit.
• 43:43
  And then coming back to this home life.
• 43:48
  But we'll see. I mean, I hadn't been back to.
• 43:51
  Michigan in almost 20 years. I'd been over a decade since I'd
• 43:57
  seen my dad, I think, and when we went back to specifically
• 44:02
  asking. This year, yeah, let's see.
• 44:04
  And I'm just like. Fine, we'll go.
• 44:06
  But it was mostly just to fill up the car with some stuff to
• 44:08
  bring back. But like the the the amount of
• 44:14
  love and joy that was in our house on Friendsgiving was a
• 44:18
  reminder of why we do it. You know why we bust our ass
• 44:24
  cleaning? Why we bust our ass cooking, Why
• 44:27
  we, we put all that effort into it, you know, and even, you
• 44:33
  know, our, our, our daughter came to hang out, you know, with
• 44:37
  everybody and you did. You did she?
• 44:40
  Left. 5:00-ish I think I. Don't remember.
• 44:45
  Oh, I got there after that. Yeah, yeah, she left her out.
• 44:48
  I think she she hung up for. A couple hours, she ate, she
• 44:51
  talked to people, she got to be around a whole bunch of like,
• 44:55
  yes. She was.
• 44:58
  She was adulting. She was.
• 45:01
  You know, she's 16 now. She's old enough to be married
• 45:03
  off for, you know, a couple of goats.
• 45:05
  Don't. Say that again.
• 45:10
  You know, it's, it's one of those things.
• 45:11
  You know that it's like I said, it's, it's why we we sort of
• 45:16
  started the tradition and why we continue the tradition.
• 45:19
  And you know, that makes me happy.
• 45:24
  And it's almost like like it, almost like it it kind of the
• 45:28
  energy that. Gets brought into.
• 45:30
  The house like kind of recharges and re energizes the house for
• 45:36
  the next few months, You know what I mean?
• 45:37
  It's like everybody comes in and, and everybody is, you know,
• 45:42
  happy to see people, meet new people, eat good food to the
• 45:49
  point where there's literally nothing left, which I'm like,
• 45:51
  that makes me so happy. And like the, the house like
• 45:56
  soaks all of that in so that it can hang on to that for, you
• 46:02
  know, a a few months and then it, it, you know what I mean?
• 46:05
  And it's, it's why we do that and why we have like game nights
• 46:08
  and, and things like that. It's because that's that's the
• 46:11
  kind of thing that makes us happy.
• 46:13
  And I think, you know, especially right now with
• 46:15
  everybody needing community and stuff, how dare you.
• 46:21
  And the, the, so the, the, we had a side note.
• 46:25
  We had a few of the little pumpkin mousses left.
• 46:28
  And also it's my. First time meeting the.
• 46:33
  Pig. Oh yeah, you hadn't met Rerun.
• 46:37
  You hadn't met Rerun. Had you met any of them?
• 46:42
  No. But none of them came out.
• 46:44
  I was nosy at one point and didn't see them, had to go see
• 46:48
  them, everyone. 'S the rerun's a sociable one?
• 46:52
  But so random random fact out there real quick.
• 46:55
  So all the pumpkin stuff? None.
• 46:59
  Of it had ginger. Or cinnamon.
• 47:03
  Because two of our really good. Friends who like I, I've now
• 47:07
  been cooking for them for years now they're allergic.
• 47:11
  One of them is allergic to ginger.
• 47:12
  One of them is allergic to cinnamon.
• 47:14
  So for the folks that enjoyed my pumpkin stuff, there was no
• 47:17
  ginger or cinnamon in any of that.
• 47:18
  And I think I managed to fake the flavor pretty damn good
• 47:20
  without it. But Nicole really, really liked
• 47:24
  the little pumpkin mousses and there were a few left.
• 47:27
  So the next day I, I texted Dominic Von Strapp and I was
• 47:30
  like, hey, if you happen to be out and about, do you want to
• 47:33
  come get these? And they're like, fuck, yes.
• 47:37
  So they drove up and I'm like, here, there.
• 47:39
  There was like, I think there were like four or five little
• 47:42
  things left. Oh, wow.
• 47:44
  I was able to make somebody. Happy after the fact.
• 47:48
  But I think like. For me, you know.
• 47:51
  Chosen family is just as important, if not more
• 47:53
  important, than blood family. If not, you know you.
• 47:56
  You're again. When it comes to obligation.
• 48:00
  You're not obligated to involve blood family.
• 48:05
  In the end, it's not worth it if they don't bring you joy.
• 48:08
  If they do bring you joy and you love your family, it's fantastic
• 48:11
  and that's great. But so many of those don't have
• 48:14
  face. Is that face like they got the
• 48:18
  extras and you didn't kind of face?
• 48:22
  Jesse brought 2 Tupperware. And stocked up like you got your
• 48:25
  share though so. But I'm gonna I'm.
• 48:31
  Gonna going off the self-care thing, make sure that you are
• 48:37
  taking time for you, whether you are, you know, reading a book
• 48:46
  for an hour, whether you're playing a video game, getting a
• 48:51
  Mani pedi, taking a walk, go get lunch with a friend and do
• 48:55
  something for you without having to worry about doing.
• 49:03
  Something for somebody? Else, oh, threatening.
• 49:06
  Yeah, he's. Of course he will, and I would
• 49:11
  fully expect that, and I'm OK with it.
• 49:15
  I made, you should have seen, Oh my God, the VAT of macaroni and
• 49:18
  cheese that I made like it's massive that like one of the big
• 49:23
  giant like roasting pans, The, the things like not the, not the
• 49:28
  normal ones, but the big ones. That was what I made of Mac and
• 49:31
  cheese. And at the end of the night
• 49:35
  there was, I think I, I put a little bit aside for us and then
• 49:39
  there was like hardly anything left.
• 49:41
  That was it. So and.
• 49:46
  People like Felicia were. Able to eat everything because
• 49:48
  it was all gluten free. Yes, I I'm.
• 49:53
  I'm a bad gluten free person. I eat anything anyway.
• 50:01
  Fair. But and the.
• 50:02
  Doctors always wonder. What's going on there?
• 50:05
  And I go, I don't never know. I don't know why.
• 50:08
  I don't know why I don't. Know God.
• 50:10
  No idea, no idea. So I think I will say as a, as
• 50:18
  a. Parent of young people play
• 50:22
  dates are very good, especially if parents can switch off.
• 50:30
  If parents can if like if you have a good a good Judy who is a
• 50:34
  parent. Then you can have like the.
• 50:40
  Kids over your house? I know that sounds very
• 50:43
  stressful, but like, time limiting.
• 50:46
  And then when it's time, then you switch.
• 50:50
  You know what I'm talking about. Like, right.
• 50:52
  We've done it a couple times where somebody's like, oh, you
• 50:55
  know, they can come over anytime.
• 50:56
  I'm like, girl, what? Let me open this calendar.
• 51:00
  Yeah. Dates here, dates there, taking
• 51:05
  advantage of the daycare saying drop your kids off for the
• 51:10
  night, we'll take care of them. Sure.
• 51:13
  Yeah. I mean, if you've got kids and
• 51:14
  you've got family. Around that are willing to watch
• 51:16
  them go, yeah, especially. When you're holiday.
• 51:19
  Shopping to I don't know how parents do this, but don't bring
• 51:24
  your kids with you when you if. Even if you are being Santa.
• 51:29
  Don't yeah, no, no. A nice, nice thing now about
• 51:35
  about all of. Ours is that they're all
• 51:36
  driving. So we don't even we don't even
• 51:39
  just go and do things well and we do it while they're.
• 51:45
  At school, but I was going to say there are like places that
• 51:52
  have like toys that are like discounted maybe.
• 51:59
  And I would say that I, I saw a lot of people posting on Black
• 52:07
  Friday and Cyber Monday about going local.
• 52:12
  So I will emphasize that I think that a little bit of the stress
• 52:15
  comes off if you can shop local, like go to your local bookstore.
• 52:20
  Surprisingly, bookstores kind of have like a toy section.
• 52:24
  So I would venture off to say, like, you might find a good toy
• 52:28
  selection there too, especially games.
• 52:31
  I always find games at book stores.
• 52:33
  I don't go to Bookmans. Bookmans is great.
• 52:36
  Yeah, I don't go to those toy stores anymore.
• 52:39
  I go to, like a bookstore and look for toys.
• 52:42
  And I'm gonna say. Like and books of course, and
• 52:47
  books I am not too proud to get something as a gift that's like
• 52:52
  second hand. I don't care like if you are at
• 52:57
  store has some good gifts. Right.
• 52:59
  Like if you were at a thrift store or something.
• 53:01
  And, you know, you're like, oh, hey, this would be really cool.
• 53:04
  Like, I bet Freddie would really like this.
• 53:05
  Like, yeah. And then and pick it like, I'm
• 53:08
  not gonna be like, oh, my God, this has a Goodwill sticker on
• 53:10
  it. Like, no, that's fucking
• 53:12
  awesome. And yes, if anybody needs good
• 53:15
  ideas for kid gifts, talk to my partner.
• 53:21
  Like legitimately, early childhood is her jam and she has
• 53:26
  some awesome ideas. She picks shit up for her niece
• 53:30
  all the fucking time. Oh, come here, come here.
• 53:35
  And like this, like she's. She should totally release a
• 53:38
  gift guide. Oh.
• 53:41
  There. You go, babe, you know what?
• 53:43
  That's how we're gonna make Talk to me offline 'cause there's
• 53:46
  ways. That you can make money off the
• 53:47
  gift guide. I'm gonna say I'm gonna put.
• 53:49
  I'm gonna put you on. The TikTok or something we're
• 53:51
  we're going to exploit you. Yay.
• 53:54
  And then we can retire her. She would love it.
• 53:56
  She would love it. Probably we're going to exploit
• 54:00
  your. Knowledge.
• 54:02
  And then we can. Retire.
• 54:05
  Wow, I didn't say. All that I just.
• 54:06
  Said how you can make some money out of it.
• 54:09
  Oh no, we're going to be like mom talk, but.
• 54:11
  Better. Oh, Jesus.
• 54:17
  Christ, Oh my God. Oh boy.
• 54:21
  Speaking of of. The talk Let's talk about the
• 54:24
  talk of the land, shall we? First off, we need to switch.
• 54:45
  Us back to blah blah blah. I had a whole bunch of stuff in
• 54:52
  my notes app. But I didn't like transfer it
• 54:54
  onto the the the document. One of your favorite stories
• 55:00
  from Christmas was buying my kids a Princess TV used remember
• 55:04
  the Disney TV's that were. Like this big but they have the
• 55:06
  Mickey ears and stuff. The like that, yeah.
• 55:10
  They didn't leave reindeer the remote.
• 55:12
  Never forget the carrots for the reindeer, It said.
• 55:15
  It was because I. Didn't leave the reindeer
• 55:17
  carrots and I was never allowed to forget it again.
• 55:21
  Oh my gosh, you're gonna leave Santa snacks you gotta make?
• 55:24
  Sure that you leave snacks for the reindeer too 'cause let's
• 55:26
  face it, they do most of the work.
• 55:28
  Oh, I leave them pretzels. Pretzels, I'm sure, are fine
• 55:33
  too. A.
• 55:34
  Little carby, but vegetables would probably be better.
• 55:40
  No. Because the reindeer have to eat
• 55:45
  some. But yeah, they.
• 55:51
  When I'm turning into Santa, Santa's a little chunky, so you
• 55:53
  know, hey, Santa had. Bills to pay this year?
• 55:57
  Hey, what up? Speaking of bills to pay, Costco
• 56:03
  is suing dump truck and his administration for being
• 56:08
  amazing, not for. They say he.
• 56:15
  Overstepped his emergency powers by imposing sweeping tariffs and
• 56:21
  I've I kind of agree with them and they also say that they're
• 56:25
  due a refund. Chucky, Chucky, Chucky.
• 56:27
  Check, check it out here. And in true mega brilliance,
• 56:35
  many of the mega morons I saw somebody put MAGA nights like
• 56:41
  they're like MAGA nights. They're kind of like claimed
• 56:45
  this. And I was like, anyway, they're
• 56:49
  boycotting. Costco.
• 56:50
  Which, let me tell you, the more you all stay out of Costco and
• 56:56
  Sam's Club. I enjoy it because you're not
• 57:00
  there, right? And keep boy, please.
• 57:03
  Boycott Disney. Yeah, yeah, please boycott all.
• 57:06
  The things that are too. Woke please, I will stay woke
• 57:10
  and you? Stay out, right?
• 57:13
  'Cause God forbid you know, you, it's, it's, they're so fucking
• 57:16
  stupid. Costco is trying to get them
• 57:19
  things for cheaper and lower prices and they're like, we're
• 57:25
  just gonna boycott. It's like, OK, you.
• 57:27
  It was called the. Price Club.
• 57:29
  They called it the Price Club because, I don't know, they
• 57:33
  lowered the prices. That's so stupid.
• 57:37
  They're so fucking stupid. It's called Costco because
• 57:39
  they're trying to be. Cost efficient?
• 57:43
  Come on people. Come on, they don't want.
• 57:48
  Things to be cheaper they're. Just dumb.
• 57:51
  Nobody gets it. Yeah, more.
• 57:53
  Savings for us and TP. Yes, more teepees.
• 57:59
  I know they I'm striking. Again.
• 58:02
  My toilet paper was all sold out.
• 58:04
  Like the last time we were there, I was really mad about
• 58:06
  it. Oh, why?
• 58:06
  I know I don't. Know I was like.
• 58:09
  I don't are we having a pandemic and we didn't even know?
• 58:11
  It like I like the soft stuff, I don't want the.
• 58:13
  Regular. My butt is sensitive.
• 58:18
  Well, ever since I. This may be TMI but ever since I
• 58:21
  had surgery I do not like any kind of paper touching my touché
• 58:29
  Oh we get the. We get the, we get the little
• 58:30
  wet. Wipes too, because, you know,
• 58:32
  yeah. Do you get the godliness is.
• 58:34
  Next to godliness. Just kidding.
• 58:39
  Speaking of Dump Truck, because he's not clean, nasty singer
• 58:45
  Sabrina Carpenter slammed Dump Truck in the administration, and
• 58:51
  I wouldn't be surprised if she sues for using herself.
• 58:54
  Oh, I hope she does. I hope so.
• 58:57
  Using her song Juno on like an Ice recap video of them taking
• 59:05
  helpless victims kidnapping. The word you're looking for is.
• 59:09
  Kidnapping, Kidnapping. Terrifying video.
• 59:16
  Rape song. Terrifying.
• 59:18
  I really hope she sues them 'cause.
• 59:19
  That would make me so happy. But it's I'm like what?
• 59:26
  No isn't. It wasn't OK in the 1st place
• 59:30
  and kind of doesn't make sense, but making sense is not high.
• 59:38
  On their list of priorities. Oh, there I go.
• 59:41
  Intelligence. I expect the intelligence again,
• 59:44
  but now that's silly. I don't know why you would.
• 59:46
  Expect intelligence. I haven't intelligence since
• 59:51
  since 2016, but bless your heart.
• 59:57
  Dump truck has found a new enemy and people from that are from,
• 1:00:03
  born in or descended from Somalia.
• 1:00:10
  Ice in. Minneapolis and Saint Paul,
• 1:00:14
  Minnesota, have been targeting people of Somali descent and
• 1:00:20
  even U.S. citizens. This is not the first time we've
• 1:00:23
  heard this in different U.S. cities.
• 1:00:27
  And you cannot film them, record them, take pictures of them
• 1:00:33
  because then they I'm like, if you are so, if you are so.
• 1:00:35
  Proud of what you're doing? Then what's went wrong?
• 1:00:38
  If we record you, why? Why do you have to cover your
• 1:00:40
  face? Why are you?
• 1:00:40
  Why are you so concerned? I watched one video of somebody.
• 1:00:44
  That was a Trump supporter record them and was basically
• 1:00:49
  giving positive commentary and then got swooped away.
• 1:00:54
  I was like, oh, I would love for them to try and.
• 1:00:59
  Come for me just because I would like to retire.
• 1:01:01
  So I will, you know. The lawsuit that I would slap.
• 1:01:08
  On them so. Fucking fast.
• 1:01:09
  Like, well, I can't wait for the lawsuit that's going to.
• 1:01:11
  Come for this because Trump has said that Somalis are destroying
• 1:01:16
  the state of Minnesota and shouldn't be allowed to serve as
• 1:01:22
  members of Congress. Also, he said they need to go
• 1:01:25
  back where they came from, right?
• 1:01:29
  Tell me he's not. Racist one more time.
• 1:01:35
  And I might your partner. Has definitely told you, but I
• 1:01:49
  would like to retire. I don't want to keep working.
• 1:01:54
  I'm just. Trying to make look, I'm trying
• 1:01:55
  to give you the life that you deserve.
• 1:01:58
  No, by terrifying. All of us.
• 1:02:00
  Nobody. Ever lets me do anything.
• 1:02:06
  I would not want to see that that's.
• 1:02:08
  Fine. No, no, and I just.
• 1:02:13
  Have lawyers in my family and I can pull some.
• 1:02:15
  Strings. She's not taking that.
• 1:02:21
  Very lightly so. Another person has.
• 1:02:29
  Been deemed fit for the job, I guess.
• 1:02:35
  What's his name? The Pentagon.
• 1:02:38
  Yeah, he has been reviewed and found as violating military
• 1:02:45
  military regulations. Because he keeps using signal
• 1:02:54
  for for fucking that are supposed to be.
• 1:02:59
  Classified right, you can't use a.
• 1:03:02
  Chat app for talking to like military, like heads of.
• 1:03:11
  You can't do. That these people are fucking
• 1:03:13
  idiots. Fucking idiots that's.
• 1:03:20
  Lovely, you hear how positive things are going in the.
• 1:03:26
  You remember last time he was? In there it was a shitstorm.
• 1:03:29
  This is like a sequel to the shitstorm.
• 1:03:33
  I think it's just. An ongoing shitstorm.
• 1:03:36
  It hasn't stopped. It's just, it's like the, it's
• 1:03:39
  like the the cyclone, but it hasn't dropped the house yet.
• 1:03:42
  It's just picking everything up. So it's just, it's grabbed the
• 1:03:47
  house, it's grabbed all the things, but it hasn't like
• 1:03:51
  dropped anything. The Witch in the White House.
• 1:03:54
  We're waiting on it, but it hasn't happened yet.
• 1:04:00
  It's it's been mentioned. It's now out there.
• 1:04:05
  What has been mentioned? I'm confused me.
• 1:04:09
  You're going we're. He's circling back.
• 1:04:12
  To what I was talking about. Got it.
• 1:04:17
  Columbia seems to be. More progressive than we.
• 1:04:20
  Are ever going to be in the next couple years officially
• 1:04:26
  recognizes trans and non binary folks in their country on their
• 1:04:33
  IDs, on their birth certificates, driver's license
• 1:04:38
  etcetera, etcetera, kind of in the direction that we were kind
• 1:04:42
  of heading, but somehow somebody got good for that.
• 1:04:49
  Now we're just. Gonna.
• 1:04:50
  We're just gonna. Backpedal our shit.
• 1:04:52
  That's fine, yeah. So that's going for us.
• 1:04:56
  Isn't that cute and interesting news to me?
• 1:05:04
  Phoenix Pride. Released.
• 1:05:06
  Info that they lost. Money in the last.
• 1:05:10
  Year and they're asking folks for the community to give
• 1:05:16
  feedback. What I saw, what I saw, I don't
• 1:05:27
  even know where to start. What I saw is what I did not
• 1:05:32
  expect, especially of certain people.
• 1:05:36
  What I what they did for for me is kind of like, I know it's
• 1:05:44
  transparent there. Were other people that were
• 1:05:48
  asking for? Full transparency.
• 1:05:55
  Do you think they were transparent?
• 1:05:56
  Enough. Or do you think that there could
• 1:05:59
  have been more transparency as a?
• 1:06:03
  As A5O1C3, I think that any 5O1C3, either by habit or by
• 1:06:12
  request, I think that nonprofits should.
• 1:06:21
  Release Financial. Information at the end of the
• 1:06:24
  fiscal year so that the community that they serve can
• 1:06:28
  see exactly where funds are being allocated now.
• 1:06:33
  I didn't. I do not want to jump on the
• 1:06:36
  backs of. Because I read many things.
• 1:06:40
  That were very nasty and snarky. I can't imagine myself being in
• 1:06:49
  the position that they are in. I can't.
• 1:06:55
  I mean, I. Guess I could, but.
• 1:06:57
  I I don't know what the word is. I.
• 1:07:06
  I always see things bigger. Picture and don't always take
• 1:07:10
  sides and so and that always gets me in trouble but for me I
• 1:07:16
  I'm like, why not just put all of this aggression into the
• 1:07:20
  survey 'cause that's what they're asking for well, so.
• 1:07:24
  Yes, there somebody actually in on the comments on the original
• 1:07:28
  post suggested that they hire a research team, which might
• 1:07:32
  actually be better than just a survey because it's very easy on
• 1:07:39
  a survey, depending on who's looking at the survey and the
• 1:07:42
  opinions of the person looking at the survey for them to go,
• 1:07:45
  well, this is just bullshit. They're just being you know what
• 1:07:48
  I mean, like, well, whatever, we we tried this or you know what I
• 1:07:50
  mean? They need I think that there
• 1:07:52
  needs to be. Oh, so they needed an
• 1:07:56
  independent? Right.
• 1:07:57
  I think they need an independent third party.
• 1:07:59
  To really kind of the research and the.
• 1:08:03
  Survey correct and report the findings.
• 1:08:06
  Yes, I think that that would. I think that that would be a
• 1:08:12
  better position because then there wouldn't be any bias, you
• 1:08:17
  know what I mean? Whereas like, I mean, we, we've
• 1:08:20
  seen some of the reactions from people associated with Phoenix
• 1:08:23
  Pride when people were giving feedback, you know what I mean?
• 1:08:27
  Like so it's like you if depending on who is looking,
• 1:08:32
  'cause you you it's. Hard to look at.
• 1:08:36
  Feedback objectively when you could be the the subject of said
• 1:08:43
  feedback, you know what I mean? So it's like you, they need an
• 1:08:49
  independent third party to actually not just, I mean, not
• 1:08:52
  just a regular survey, but to really do the research into it
• 1:08:56
  because you know, the, the fact that, you know, financials
• 1:09:01
  haven't been released. And if you want to go looking
• 1:09:03
  for financials, you have to dig for it.
• 1:09:05
  There's a couple other 5O1C threes in the valley that also
• 1:09:10
  don't release financials and are also like it's a little, it's a
• 1:09:15
  little weird. Look at Tucson.
• 1:09:19
  Pride. They haven't released financials
• 1:09:20
  there in the shithole. Nobody trusts them anymore, you
• 1:09:25
  know? And it's like you, you, you
• 1:09:30
  know, people, people bring up good points where there are, you
• 1:09:32
  know, big cities that have prides that are free.
• 1:09:40
  You know Chicago Pride is free, Seattle.
• 1:09:42
  Pride is free. I don't think New York.
• 1:09:46
  Pride is free. Is it?
• 1:09:47
  I don't remember. I remember going to San.
• 1:09:49
  Francisco Pride years ago and that was free, but I don't
• 1:09:52
  remember. I don't know if it still is, but
• 1:09:55
  there are big cities that their their pride is free.
• 1:09:59
  So you know what I mean? So there there needs to be a
• 1:10:05
  revamp of basically everything and in there needs to it.
• 1:10:13
  It needs to be done. It needs to be looked at
• 1:10:17
  independently because like I said, it's too easy to look at
• 1:10:25
  feedback. Like if someone says, oh, you
• 1:10:29
  know, I. Don't like?
• 1:10:30
  This such and such a thing, which is why I don't go to the
• 1:10:36
  the festival anymore or I don't attend the pageant anymore
• 1:10:40
  because XYZ or whatever it is. It's very easy for someone who
• 1:10:45
  is directly involved with the organization to look at that and
• 1:10:47
  go, well, you know, they don't like this person, so of course
• 1:10:51
  they're not going to want to go, you know what I mean?
• 1:10:52
  Like obviously they don't like this person.
• 1:10:54
  It is. Anonymous, but even looking.
• 1:10:56
  At it, it's like like, Oh well, they obviously have beef with
• 1:10:59
  this person. Like if they mention somebody by
• 1:11:01
  name or if they, you know what I mean?
• 1:11:03
  So it's like if they mention something specific about
• 1:11:05
  something, it's like, well, obviously there's beef or
• 1:11:08
  obviously this person, blah, blah, you know what I mean?
• 1:11:10
  So it's like it needs to be done objectively, I think, if they
• 1:11:14
  want it to really be impactful. But in the press release.
• 1:11:22
  I mentioned that losses were considered because loss of
• 1:11:30
  sponsorships, right? And the change of.
• 1:11:39
  The dynamic of of course with DEII right like a a lot of you.
• 1:11:46
  Know, we know that though a lot of, of corporations and
• 1:11:49
  companies have pulled back on sponsoring, you know, LGBTQ plus
• 1:11:53
  things, but you, you know that we've also, you know, we, you,
• 1:11:57
  you see the same shit we all see people have been telling you
• 1:12:01
  this is a thing, you know, in case you didn't see it, you
• 1:12:05
  know, and this is like you, you have to know that this is going
• 1:12:07
  on. So if you know that that's going
• 1:12:08
  on, then you scale back. And I think that.
• 1:12:15
  I or I maybe misunderstood, but they're not offering the
• 1:12:18
  community grants, just the scholarships this year or into
• 1:12:22
  the next year. There's, I don't know, I think
• 1:12:25
  there's. You think there's more to it?
• 1:12:29
  I don't know you. Know it's it's there's some
• 1:12:32
  things that I think could have been done a long time ago that
• 1:12:36
  weren't done I think there's some things that but again I I
• 1:12:41
  my big thing is I think it. It needs to be done.
• 1:12:44
  Through an independent third party period that's.
• 1:12:49
  That's you know. Any any, any surveys, any
• 1:12:55
  insight, any whatever needs to be done through an independent
• 1:12:58
  third party or it's it's all going to look biased because.
• 1:13:06
  It will be just. It because it's it's human
• 1:13:08
  nature, you know, so and I don't have.
• 1:13:14
  I definitely read more than enough of the comments.
• 1:13:19
  I wonder if they're going to release the.
• 1:13:25
  Results of the. Survey.
• 1:13:29
  For me because of the. Way that the survey was.
• 1:13:31
  Because I, I took the survey, but because of the way that the
• 1:13:35
  survey was done, it wasn't like there's no metrics.
• 1:13:42
  You know what I mean it. It it's not.
• 1:13:43
  Like how do we do on a scale of 1 to 10 and then give feedback?
• 1:13:48
  It was just give feedback, you know what I mean?
• 1:13:51
  So like there there was very little like, you know, needs
• 1:13:55
  improvement did great satisfactory.
• 1:13:58
  So there's there's no real way to like release that.
• 1:14:02
  And that's the other thing is that if they had done like a
• 1:14:06
  like a metric system, you know, rate the ticket system or right
• 1:14:12
  the. Ticket system or the cost of.
• 1:14:13
  Tickets or you know, the, the pageant or whatever it is, you
• 1:14:18
  know, rated on a scale of 1:00 to 5:00 or 1:00 to 10:00 and
• 1:14:21
  then explain underneath. Then you'd have metrics to be
• 1:14:25
  able to say, you know, 78% of the people weren't happy with
• 1:14:30
  this. You know, they said this, 64% of
• 1:14:33
  the people said this, whatever it is, but without that, you
• 1:14:36
  can't really. There aren't really.
• 1:14:41
  Things to, you know what I mean like there's no results per SE,
• 1:14:45
  which again, this which is why it it should have been done by
• 1:14:52
  an independent third party and done with in a, in a way that
• 1:14:57
  metrics can be released and results can be released and they
• 1:14:59
  can say but then again, you know, I don't know and but then,
• 1:15:04
  you know, but then they have people have to be willing to be
• 1:15:06
  honest about it and be like people aren't happy or people
• 1:15:08
  are really excited about this or people aren't great about this
• 1:15:11
  like, you know so but. You know what?
• 1:15:16
  What the hell do I know? I would say that I hope that
• 1:15:25
  whatever, sorry, my cushion fell off the chair, whatever people
• 1:15:33
  have. Been saying.
• 1:15:34
  Or I hope that they're paying attention.
• 1:15:37
  I hope that. That it does more.
• 1:15:44
  Good. I hope that they use the
• 1:15:45
  constructive criticism, maybe not so constructive, but to
• 1:15:55
  build like you. Said something new.
• 1:15:59
  Something that's intact 'cause usually I don't know.
• 1:16:08
  I don't know. I'm not on the other side and
• 1:16:10
  I'm sure I could if I dug well in that I could probably find
• 1:16:15
  out, but I rather not at the moment so but that's that.
• 1:16:26

  office parties and more circumcisions.
• 1:20:41
  I mean, we're there for you. For you.
• 1:20:46
  DMS. For availability and of course.
• 1:20:52
  I mean, talk to me a dollar or something.
• 1:20:58
  I did not write my final words, but I will.
• 1:21:04
  Say. That the common thing that we
• 1:21:08
  need as we get through the season is to find the common
• 1:21:13
  thread that we have with ourselves, our our friends, our
• 1:21:18
  family, to form our own communities.
• 1:21:22
  And I've said this before, but in the sense that Freddie has
• 1:21:26
  created his own community of friends by gathering folks at
• 1:21:32
  his house. I have seen enormous groups of
• 1:21:37
  people creating wonderful memories with each other,
• 1:21:44
  especially this holiday. I saw like backyards full of
• 1:21:47
  people that weren't necessarily related, but like chosen family.
• 1:21:54
  And if you have a good relationship with your, your
• 1:21:58
  family, your biological family, your let that.
• 1:22:04
  Love live on. I will say that there have been
• 1:22:10
  some things that have been nasty and I, I know that this whole
• 1:22:16
  thing with the community, I, I can't say whether it stops or
• 1:22:20
  not because I'm just watching from the window, but I say that
• 1:22:26
  be sure. Be sure you're not saying things
• 1:22:30
  that you're going to. Regret later it there's some
• 1:22:33
  things. That I have read that.
• 1:22:34
  I I don't necessarily. Agree or disagree I.
• 1:22:41
  Just I I find them very hurtful and very.
• 1:22:48
  Some of it's unnecessary, like. Just very.
• 1:22:51
  Some of you like some of your. Opinions and things don't need
• 1:22:54
  to be public. They're not constructive.
• 1:22:56
  So why? Like, if they're not
• 1:22:59
  constructive, why say it? If it's something that you know
• 1:23:02
  about somebody like, why? That had nothing to do with
• 1:23:05
  anything about this survey about the the things that they're
• 1:23:10
  needing or asking for or whatever.
• 1:23:12
  And this goes for people on both sides of.
• 1:23:14
  It though, like, don't you know, if if you ask for feedback and
• 1:23:19
  someone says something that you don't like, why are you, you
• 1:23:22
  know, don't look at me. I I completely.
• 1:23:26
  Scroll by this. I could be liking and commenting
• 1:23:30
  and doing all these things but for my mental health I have just
• 1:23:34
  glanced at it. Haven't been back to it to be
• 1:23:37
  honest because I don't see the reason.
• 1:23:39
  But I did fill out the survey and I hope that what I said
• 1:23:45
  matters. Right now, that's that's all we
• 1:23:50
  can. Do is, is.
• 1:23:53
  Yeah. And fill out the survey and see.
• 1:23:54
  What happens? I hope that.
• 1:23:58
  The holiday season treats all of us with grace because it's
• 1:24:05
  tough, especially for those that have lost people this year.
• 1:24:10
  And then this is your first Christmas without them or this
• 1:24:14
  is your first Christmas they're. Not going to come over.
• 1:24:18
  And be that joy to you. But so community, we, yeah, the,
• 1:24:28
  the White House is definitely setting us up for, well, we're
• 1:24:34
  already doing to ourselves. So they know, they know.
• 1:24:38
  They know exactly. What they're doing.
• 1:24:40
  So with that being said, have a good night and we will see you
• 1:24:46
  next week for your Wednesday night conversation.
• 1:24:50
  Good night, Good night.
