So we are in the holiday season . I think last holiday season I did a show about favorite Christmas songs , but that's gone . So this holiday season being that Thanksgiving is a couple of days away , which is generally a huge , huge holiday .
Speaker 1I want to dive into the do's and don'ts of Thanksgiving hosted . So check this out . First of all , let's get into what hosting Thanksgiving means , because apparently it has two different meanings , and let's look out for Thanksgiving scammers . What I mean by that is I was Thanksgiving scammed by my mom . What that means is hey . She's like hey , you want to come to my house for Thanksgiving . I'm like yeah , you know , sure , take the drive out there , it's a couple of hours , but knock it out . And then you know yeah , come to my house , I want you to cook the turkey . It's like okay , I want you to make collard greens . I go okay , I want you to make , you know , stuffing and any other side you want to make . So , basically , you want me to cook . I'm like , yeah . He's like well , then , what are you doing ? I'm like well , I'm opening the door for you . He's like are you serious ? So be mindful of these Thanksgiving scammers . So be mindful of these Thanksgiving scammers .
Speaker 1Don't get Thanksgiving scammed by people saying they're hosting but you're doing the cooking . If you're bringing food and they say , hey , come over , I got you . I'm hosting thanksgiving , but I got 17 people bringing 17 dishes . That's called the potluck . And uh , thanks to my co-worker , needy wilson , because she was a victim . She , she is a victim of the thanksgiving scammers . So , hey , her brother did the same thing . Hey , come . But like you know , bring these sides . Bring that , that's not hosted , that's a Thanksgiving scam . You got scammed . My mom Thanksgiving scanner Scanner Scammer . Nene , wilson's brother Thanksgiving scammer . Let's put them all on blast . Let them know , hey , if I'm bringing stuff to your house you're not hosting . It's a potluck anyway .
Speaker 1Do's and don'ts huh , let me see , I gotta think , think of this . So if you're hosting like , plan ahead you know what I mean . Don't cook things that take forever on the same day , because , one , you may jack it up , you never know , uh , and . And two , I mean , although it's generally the right thing to cook right before you eat , it's like you don't cook a thanksgiving meal every . You don't want to have to make a last minute grocery store run . Just don't do it . Don't do it Like , if you like the thrill of last minute grocery store chaos , you know , bump it into Karens who forget cranberry sauce and go right ahead , but just please plan ahead . Two and forgive me if I forget what number I'm on , I'm old Make enough food if you're hosting Like straight up and down .
Speaker 1This also goes with the plan ahead thingy . Like hey , you got to know how many people are coming or not coming . But like Thanksgiving , like don't make it . Like you know you could never have too much food because people could still take leftovers and all of that . But you know people will judge you if they don't get an adequate portion . They don't need to take home plates that are like appetizer size . You know what I'm saying . Like Just be smart , make enough food .
Speaker 1Get help If you have multiple people in your house . Or just invite some guests over early and say , hey , help me with this . You know , uncle Chuck could help with the drinks or whatever , I don't know , aunt Carol could help with the marshmallow salad , if you do that type of thing . But just do get help , because cooking for a large amount of people , a large crowd , can get tedious and you can forget things and it can be overwhelming to one person . I've done it for not as many people and it can get overwhelming . So like just be careful with that . Um , so don't . Those are the do's .
Speaker 1I want to get to some of the don'ts . Like don't experiment on the big day , you know what I mean , like , don't let this be your first time making turducken , don't be an idiot . Don't be an idiot , don't be an idiot . You know what I mean . Like hey , I want to make pig knuckle , fried pig knuckle soup with , I don't know , italian wedding soup broth . Like don't be stupid . You would think that's common sense . But sometimes holidays like that , people lose all common sense . And I don't know , nobody wants that , because you will have a whole bunch of guests that will think you're an idiot . What else ?
Speaker 1Don't invite too many people , especially if you don't have enough food . Right , if you have one turkey . Don't invite like 20 people . One turkey is not enough for 20 people , and don't , you know , go over , invite crazy . Some people do that . Like , some people don't have common sense , and that's why I started this show . It's called come on . You know , like , hey , come on . You know , don't invite 25 people and you only have one turkey , and they all love turkey .
Speaker 1So I'm here to help you , I'm here to guide you through the mysteries of life and , you know , unlock my own mysteries of my own life . I don't know what I'm saying , but anyway , just don't do that . So just saying , and don't so like this may be . This may be . Eh , maybe you know you should listen , maybe you don't have to , but do have some alcohol available . Like , don't skimp on the alcohol . So I'm not a Thanksgiving alcohol drinking person or whatever , but some people are .
Speaker 1Sometimes you just want to chill out , watch the game , have a beer , whatever . The guys in the living room , the ladies in the kitchen or den or whatever you call that room , the little cubby room , talking about the guys not doing nothing whatevs . But don't skip on it . Sometimes wine can bring people together and , um , you want to have people together . You know what I mean . So , yeah , don't do that , and then that . That just . Sometimes it helps with people relaxing , especially after you ate . You know you just want to chill out and have a glass of wine or some beer or whatever . But yeah , that Another don't , what's another don't , what's
another don't .
Speaker 1And if you have some don'ts you could throw them in the comments so I could judge them and if you don't agree with me I could I don't know fight you in the comments or whatever . Oh , don't have like awkward conversations and it's always going to be somebody's grandmother . You know what I mean . Talking about calling your girlfriend or boyfriend a wrong name or or I don't know Mention it , mentioning that you look a little heavy or something like that . Like it's like yo grandma , just a big mama or whatever you call her . Just tuck it away . Tuck it away . Let's talk about this next Tuesday or something . But I get it , I got it . I'm not married and I look fat and you're still in my house eating my food , gotcha .
Speaker 1As far as cooking , thinking about the don'ts , like don't . Like mismatched dishes , like don't do that , like don't . Like I mentioned the marshmallow salad earlier . Like don't have marshmallow salad with shredded carrots and all that , and raisins in the wrong dish . Like just please don't , just don't . This is this whack . So , anyway , those are the do's and don'ts , or a few do's and don'ts . Helping you out for thanksgiving , which is in a couple days . Um , it's good advice , my advice , my advice is always the best , and you know , come on , just don't do anything stupid . Uh Well , I can't say that because that's how I'm sponsored for this episode , oh boy , anyway . So , thanksgiving do's and don'ts , and check this out Also , because I was thinking about friendship and hosting and bringing people over .
Speaker 1This is something that's near and dear to me and I just wanted to mention it before we punch out here on our welcome back episode . It's about sharing friends . So don't share friends , and what I mean by that is if you have a friend at work and you talk to them and all that or whatever at school , and then someone else tries to monopolize the friendship and take them away . Don't like , don Like , don't do it Like , don't allow them to Like straight up , establish a friendship and establish friendship dominance . That's what I'm going to call it Friendship dominance . Don't let them sway . It's happening to me and they know who they are .
Speaker 1One somebody's trying to take my friend and it's hurting me , it's killing me . But don't , don't let them do it like . Do every little petty thing that you can do to not allow your friends to get stolen or shared and let them know every time that you make them choose , say , hey , choose me or them , and then just do better than the other friends . But anyway , that's my parting guidance or parting motto Don't share friends . And hey , I'm going to keep them coming . I'm going to keep these shows coming from today . This was just a little welcome back deal . I'm a little rusty , but I will put some wd-40 on the rust to get going . So that's all I got .
