Speaker 2Okay , so tell me what like a Thanksgiving memory . Do you have something specific that , like y'all always did , or always still do for Thanksgiving , a tradition of some sort ?
Speaker 1Okay , so every year for Thanksgiving when I was younger , we would go to Texas and we would visit my mama's Texas family , okay , and it was a little old couple with my Uncle Bob and my Aunt Nomi and we'd go there and you know we go to Coraline Landy's now .
Speaker 2Yeah .
Speaker 1Okay , coraline Landy was my Uncle Bob and my Aunt Nomi's Coraline Landy . Okay , he is their grandson .
Speaker 2Oh , so I mean you know , like Uncle . Bob , they were old , they were old they just passed away .
Speaker 1not long ago , they just passed away not long ago .
Speaker 2They lived very long and we visited them .
Speaker 1Yes , I was probably well into my 30s , okay , when Uncle Bob passed away , which was , I want to say , it was around 2020 .
Speaker 2Okay , like COVID time Okay .
Speaker 1You know , he was 90 , almost 100 . He was 99 years old . So he like going there , we would go there .
Speaker 2And you look forward to the trip , like the whole trip . Y'all would spend a night , a few nights .
Speaker 1We would spend nights over there , yeah , so , like , and they had all these old clocks on the wall , you know like , and the clocks would go off all the time , because he actually had an antique booth at their like a flea market . Okay , okay , so we would go to the flea market and we would have a meal with and some of their family members would come over and we would meet all of our extended family and then , and we'd have , you know , thanksgiving with them and we just made all the things and those .
Speaker 2That was one of my favorite , uh , thanksgiving memories yeah , going , that's , that's tradition for thanksgiving we would always do it , uh , at my mama's house , which was right next door , or sometimes well , I can't say always I can remember doing things there , but my mama's house was a little bigger , so we would , everyone would come to our house . You know , my mama's and um Trina , the traditional turkey , and the dressings , and um sweet potatoes or yams , if you want to call it that , uh , and I don't know . I'm trying to think like what type of vegetable ?
Speaker 2I'm sure green bean casserole all those things , but my favorite was waking up and knowing and putting the Thanksgiving parade on the Macy's Thanksgiving .
Speaker 1Day Parade . I love that , yes .
Speaker 2We would have it on while my daddy was in the kitchen . My mama was in the kitchen cooking and stuff and I'd be , you know , sitting there drinking my coffee , milk , eating breakfast and all the smells going on in the kitchen and watching the parade . And oh , and then , if you , if , like , like when Hanson was on the parade , the music you don't remember that they would have a band . So if your favorite band was playing the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade , or , like Britney Spears , was on there I'm showing my age right now .
Speaker 2That's been a long time it's been a while . But that was just .
Speaker 1You get so excited about it , and I don't even have to be watching the parade you know , I just want it on , just want it on . It's the comfort of knowing it's on , yeah , and that somewhere in New York City . Yeah , you know they hanging out their windows watching the Macy's Thanksgiving .
Speaker 2Day .
Speaker 1Parade yes , I love that .
Speaker 2Oh my gosh , big balloons , I mean obviously , and it was always like what's the classic ones that's there every year , like Snoopy ? Yeah , always a Snoopy . I'm so glad you brought that up .
Speaker 1Yes , so the Snoopy ? I'm sorry . No , tell me , tell me , tell me , my aunt Nomi , the old one , my aunt Nomi , she had a Snoopy collection . Oh my , when I'm telling you anything with Snoopy collection . Oh my , when I'm telling you anything with Snoopy on it . My Uncle , pablo , collected for her and bring it home for her from the flea market .
Speaker 2Pictures , stuffies , glass figurine , anything , huh Anything , mugs , whatever .
Speaker 1Snoopy , that was her thing , she had it and , yeah , a Snoopy collection .
Speaker 2Wow .
Speaker 1So Snoopy was you know very , we were looking a Snoopy collection . So Snoopy was you know very we were looking for Snoopy in the Thanksgiving Day Parade I got you .
Speaker 2I'm trying to think what else the classic ones , and y'all might weigh in on this in the comments and let us know like which . The classic balloons that maybe they still have that I don't know , it's been a few years , I don't feel like I haven't watched it and I need to get my kids on that . I've been slipping and slacking as a parent in that department , need my kids to watch the parade . But yeah , I loved the Thanksgiving parade .
Speaker 2Wake up in the morning and then knowing like the food I'm about to eat and like my family was coming over and I have a relatively small family . Honestly , my mama had two sisters and we would just . This was just like my mama's side . We didn't do too too much with my daddy's side every every now and then , but it wasn't like a yearly thing , so , which is unfortunate . But , um , I'm the youngest of all the cousins . My , all my cousins are a lot older than me , so I didn't really have a lot of play like people to play with or whatever , but I still looked forward to having like my cousins over and like we'd play cards and stuff like that , and it was just family . You know family time , so it's all about the family and it's sad that we usually have to have a holiday to get together . You know like to make that happen , but everybody's lives are just so .
Speaker 1And I know that . I know there's like some regret with not being able to visit , but isn't it so much sweeter when you do like for a holiday ? That's what makes the time so special is you know you get to see , you look forward to it and you get to do all those things that you wouldn't normally do on any of those Saturdays , that's true , yeah , it makes it special , yeah , it's super special .
Speaker 2And to not have you know , let it not be a funeral that you get together for , you know , for like some time , weddings or funerals is the only time you see some family members , so it's nice to not have a bad occasion to get together .
Speaker 1Something to celebrate , right , all right . Okay , let's take a second to mention Long's products . Our family owned and operated Louisiana janitorial supply business . Yes , since 1950 , they in their third generation of operation , which is something special .
Speaker 2That's very special , yeah , and rare .
Speaker 1Yeah , you can visit their showroom that's open to the public right off of I-49 on exit 83 , or you can order any of their cleaning supplies online . They actually make their own Pelican brand chemicals that are popular on TikTok , but they have other cleaning supplies too , Like they have this , you know Scrub Daddy Dawn anything that you can use to clean your house .
Speaker 2They have mops and brooms , trash bags , to-go plates , foil yeah , foil gumbo bowls , like all kind of cleaning and household supplies .
Speaker 1Yeah , so you know , don't sleep on longsproductscom . You can check them out on TikTok Shop , amazon and all the socials at Long's Products .
Alright , so what is your favorite thing to eat at Thanksgiving time ?
Speaker 2I like . Okay , now this is my perfect bite . You want to hear Absolutely .
Speaker 1Because I can't pick one thing . I can't pick one thing . Oh my gosh , I can't wait to eat tomorrow .
Speaker 2Okay , so turkey , thigh meat , no breasts .
Speaker 1Oh , this is very specific . I am a dark meat girl all the way , okay .
Speaker 2So turkey thigh meat juicier , absolutely juicier . Then you take a little bite of rice dressing with that and gravy on top like you have to have the gravy and a little bit of cranberry sauce and you have your sweet-lish , you have your savory , you have your tart with the cranberry .
Speaker 1Perfect bite . Okay , now let me ask you this the cranberry sauce , is that just out the can ? I'm going to disappoint you , or are you going to ?
Speaker 2make it Straight up out the can with the ridges on it . Yes , I love that . Nobody likes that but me . I'm the only one , and my daddy will always make sure I have a can . I'm the only one that eats it . It's good , it's good . Why go through the ? It's fine and I never really . They would make the homemade one too , and I'm like no , I don't want to feel the .
Speaker 2I don't want to crunch it no , but I will say that in my adult life my mother-in-law makes a delicious cranberry , real cranberry sauce but I'm still gonna get the can , and I have both .
Speaker 1I really feel like there's something special about having that big log .
Speaker 2Yes , you know that gelatinous cut and then you got to cut it and , like you , got a big round . Slides all over the place , oh I love it , you know what I love it .
Speaker 1I love you even more now . I know you would . I love it . And nobody has like our Thanksgiving meal doesn't have that . No , no , Like . If we do it , it's because I wanted it like a couple of times , but like I'm the only one that eats it .
Speaker 2Okay , I might . I might bring that to Thanksgiving tomorrow , get yourself , do it , treat yourself Absolutely .
Speaker 1You know what Ocean spray ? Yeah , you did that right , that's where it's at . You did that right , that is where it's at , and I'll .
Speaker 2well , I'm just going to keep going . So we usually make a potato salad with our Thanksgiving feast . So we make a potato salad and that turkey gravy on that potato salad just hits . Let me tell you , Potato salad yes .
Speaker 1I know I'm not knocking it now . I know you ain't going to knock it . There's always time for potato salad , always yeah . So like what is on your table , what has to be there on the table . And he is on the table for thanksgiving .
Speaker 2Okay , so the turkey . We have to do a turkey . Sometime , daddy will do a ham too and I'm like whoo smorgasbord you know , so turkey um a rice dressing and they make a cornbread dressing , which I actually don't care for . I know that's crazy , I know , okay , yeah , um and let that one slide . Please . Let that one slide Please let that one slide Rice dressing .
Speaker 2Absolutely , I think I said that already . My aunt always brings a green bean casserole . I like it , but it's not like I got to have it . Like Thanksgiving is one of those times like I probably , I don't eat much vegetables .
Speaker 1No , why would you ?
Speaker 2Why would you ? Everything else is so rich and heavy . Like I , probably my husband is like , like , can we please have a vegetable ? And I'm like , why , like my plate's full already ? Uh , yams or sweet potatoes . It's sweet potatoes for us , but uh , always that , and I'm talking with the brown sugar sauce in it and everything like .
Speaker 1I know you like lumps .
Speaker 2Yeah , chunky ones the chunk ones , yeahunky and the cranberry sauce and what else . I say gravy , my daddy always does those brown and serve rolls .
Speaker 1Yeah , the little ones .
Speaker 2Yeah , brown and serve rolls , what else ? Usually my mama will do some type of desserts like pecan pie , pumpkin pie , but I just usually eat a second helping of sweet potatoes at that point and that's my dessert .
Speaker 2Yeah , just enough . Yeah , now my , I know I'm gonna get to you , but I'm still gonna talk about this . My husband's side will do a turkey roll . Okay , yeah , so like , if you don't know what a turkey roll is , it's just a big deep . They take a turkey and they debone it and they they stuff it with like onions and bell peppers and seasoning , so it's like rolled up and then my favorite has become my husband will grill it on his green egg and it will be like a smoky barbecued turkey roll . So good , um , and so that . And then miss connie makes and I know you don't like this too much , but I like it She'll make her yams and she'll cut them , like dice them , and then she puts raisins in it and the same type of like yummy sauce in there . And I could go . I could go . Nuts on those sweet potatoes . Are there nuts in it too ? There are not . Oh , okay , but when did I tell you that the first time ? And you were like Absolutely not .
Speaker 1I think we did a video Like a coffee talk video .
Speaker 2Yeah , okay , it was a coffee talk . About some raisins and I'm like you just lost me at that I do .
Speaker 1Like raisins , I do .
Speaker 2Well , I never would have . I didn't know about this until I met him . Maybe I might like it didn't never seen this before in my life , but apparently his papa that was what he would do . And so miss connie her that was her daddy , and she , she makes it , and nathan still swears like she don't make it exactly like him , but that's one of our favorite things that she makes these ems , these sweet potatoes yeah so good , well , listen when you go , just maybe take me a little time I can do that for you , and then I will take some bites and see .
Speaker 2Yeah , you have to see what you think , maybe .
Speaker 1Yeah , okay .
Speaker 2Now you tell me what's on your plate , what's on your table .
Speaker 1Okay . So thing about us is everything that's on our plate for Thanksgiving will be there for Christmas .
Speaker 2Y'all do the same thing .
Speaker 1Pretty much the same .
Speaker 2I think us two kind of in a way , because , especially like when my daddy will do ham , I'm like we're about to have ham again for Thanksgiving . I mean for Christmas , but I'll eat it again and we'll , I do not care , now I'm not getting this meal for another ?
Speaker 111 months , so you got to understand .
Speaker 2I'm okay with having it and leftovers for two months . I love okay , I love thanksgiving leftovers , so it's so good .
Speaker 1It's so good so we have to have the turkey roll . Okay , you know , uh , my daddy once fried a turkey in deep oil in all or the yes , oh , it's so good .
Speaker 2Have you ever had it ? Yeah , we did one time , but I was .
Speaker 1It was a mess like he got like he put the turkey in it and like the grease flew everywhere and like it stained our carport . It was a whole thing . Thank God it didn't catch on fire . It could have , but I think I still have that turkey pot too at my house .
Speaker 2Like a big gumbo pot .
Speaker 1Okay . So fried turkey is really good and I know that in Apalooza there's a place that does fried turkeys . Are they used to Kelly's meat block ?
Speaker 2You know Kelly's meat block . I've heard of Kelly's yeah .
Speaker 1Okay , well , they , they'll fry a turkey up for you for Thanksgiving , I think , and you could go just pick it up , oh nice , but you know , turkey roll is easiest way to go . Yeah , turkey roll . A dressing um corn , uh , cornbread dressing , uh , my sweet potato casserole , green bean casserole , and then the brown and serve rolls .
Speaker 2absolutely have to have Okay .
Speaker 1So like my , but my favorite thing on the plate is always gonna be that sweet potato casserole , and if my nanny made it she gave me the um , you know the recipe . It's like the mushed up , it's like a mash , and then she puts the little baby marshmallows on top . Y'all , it's so good .
Speaker 2Evaporated milk . I was going to ask you what's in it condensed milk or evaporated ?
Speaker 1Evaporated milk , eggs , flour , brown sugar , and you did a video on this . I see it . You're going to have to reshare it . I'm going to have to reshare it or just make another one , because I'm going to make it again anyway .
Speaker 2But yeah .
Speaker 1And there's people that probably haven't seen that it's so good and you can like sprinkle pecans on the top or whatever , but I prefer just like that . And Jojo is like Talking to the bitch , is like she can't wait for that casserole .
Speaker 2You're going to make that sweet potato casserole . It's like a dessert . Yeah , it is .
Speaker 1So my perfect bite is going to be a little bit of sweet potato casserole , a little bit of my sister-in-law's delicious green bean casserole . She makes a green bean casserole every year , and I might be the only one .
Speaker 2I feel like I need a good recipe for that . I don't want to pour it out , the can and cream of mushroom , and I want , I want a good one .
Speaker 1Oh no , you got to cook down the beans okay like , I feel like if the beans are hard and cold , like no , I want to eat that .
Speaker 2Yeah , cook that down , okay , uh anyway .
Speaker 1So the green bean casserole and a little bit of cornbread dressing . Cornbread dressing .
Speaker 2Yes , I think maybe I've only had . Like , the cornbread dressing that I've had is kind of dry , maybe it it was , I don't know . But I would just always go for the rice over the cornbread . Why wouldn't ?
Speaker 1you just have both .
Speaker 2I don't know , I don't know . Good question Maybe .
Speaker 1I'll keep you a little bit of cornbread dressing . Let's do that , we'll swap , let's do that , okay , and we'll have a Thanksgiving coffee talk . Oh , I can't wait .

Speaker 1It's time for us . Here comes Santa Claus , here comes Santa Claus , right down Santa Claus Lane .
Speaker 2We got to get some shopping done we Black Friday shopping from our phones on the couch , in our pajamas or something comfortable . Yeah , if you're one of those that loves to brave , you know brave the weather , brave the crowds and stuff you just go . You just do it . I'm proud of you . I hope you find the best bargains , but me , I'm staying home .
Speaker 1Oh , yes , and
I have . I have gone black Friday shopping , but I don't really know , and maybe you can weigh in in the comments here , do you know ? And by the comments I mean those of you who are probably watching on . Youtube or you know shoot us a message or something , cause we like to get messages about the podcast yes yes , um , do you ? Is there still people that go ? Are there still people that go black friday shopping and like do the whole thing ?
Speaker 2I think so I think there are . I think so . Now I don't . I'm wondering about like in my mind I'm picturing like best buy . You know people would line up out the door for like TVs and electronics and stuff , or toy stores and stuff . Is that a thing anymore ? You know , like when people there would be a toy .
Speaker 1Yeah , there's no toy stores anymore , not where we are , but they might have them elsewhere .
Speaker 2Is there toys at us anymore , or are they closed everywhere ? Yeah , that's sad .
Speaker 1That's very sad . Because I like the bigger cities have like FAO shorts and you know there's got to be other toy stores .
Speaker 2But yeah , I'm surely not lining up outside of Walmart .
Speaker 1No , oh my .
Speaker 2G , that sounds horrible .
Speaker 1That reminds me of the time Tickle Me Elmo was such a big thing . Do you remember that ?
Speaker 2Absolutely Because I wanted one and I did not get one . Well , no , you didn't , because now I know my mama was not about to stand outside for hours and God bless it no . No Poor thing , yeah , but one of my cousins got one and she was playing with it in front of me . What did you do ? Did you cry ?
Speaker 1I wanted to cry . I don't know if .
Speaker 2I did or not , I probably did , but I remember boo-daying so hard over that . Oh my goodness , still not over that , clearly , clearly , you're still not over Tickle Elmo . And they had a blue one too , but that wasn't Elmo , it was . What was the blue one ? I guess it had something . And then they tried to give me one of them like knock off Elmos , don't even come with it , don't come over here with no blue Elmo .
Speaker 1That Don't even come with it . Don't come over here with no blue Elmo . That's not real . That's not real . I don't want to hear him laugh either , oh man .
Speaker 2I don't want to tickle that blue , elmo . I don't want to tickle blue , whatever your name is Maybe a knockoff Elmo .
Speaker 1I know that ain't Elmo , that's not red , no , but like or jingle all the way you remember that movie . So Jingle , all the way you remember that movie . So I made my kids watch that last year .
Speaker 2They never want to watch nothing with me , so I'm like I have to like , make them and they're like oh , that was good , and then they like it after , yeah .
Speaker 1Yeah , I know it's good , it's a classic , yes , but like you know , the whole , like that was a big deal .
Speaker 2And like people beating each other over stuff not me . I'm gonna let you go ahead and get it , because I am not getting my hair pulled out . No , no , we're not playing with that now . I know some , uh , girls , maybe men too , um , they like to go and do that because like it's a whole experience . Like they'll go get coffee , yeah , they go shopping , and then they'll take a break and go have lunch and then they'll do some more shopping . That sounds fine to me , but I'm scared , I know but it can't have no pressure .
Speaker 1You know , like me and my mom and chase have gone , so much pressure . We went real early . There wasn't a whole lot of people there like we weren't fighting anybody for anything , you know . I mean , the only reason you go out is for a tv or like a xbox or I guess .
Speaker 2so yeah , but like you want to have it , go a little later and just see what deals are still left , kind of , but not really specifically looking for something where you got to be oh my God , I got to get this , I got to get this . No , yeah , yeah , yeah .
Speaker 1You can get it online , just it's easier , even easier than going to find it in the store . If somebody's already picked it up , you know so , and they're usually . The prices are comparable , usually , yeah .
Speaker 2Like the prices are comparable usually . Yeah , like just get it online . I know that's the kind of generation .
Speaker 1We live in online shopping . Are we still like running out of things ? Though ? Like I don't think we run out anymore , you know , like it's just there , you'll get it eventually . Might be out of stock for a little while , but I mean , everybody's going to be happy .
Speaker 2Well , I'll tell you this like um last year or maybe a year before , there was a specific toy I was looking for for the girls they wanted and it was on Amazon , because I found it in . Amazon sends a catalog now . Okay , so they were going through the catalog , circled it , whatever , like I want to say it was early November . Let's just say I found it on Amazon , oh , okay , put it in the back , fast forward , maybe a week out of stock , like a little guinea pig and she had babies .
Speaker 2And I ended up finding it somewhere else , but I paid dearly for it . I missed my window of opportunity to get it on Amazon and then I had to find it on some other bootleg site and I paid more . So this is your PSA Get your presents early . I did .
Speaker 1I got two of them already . Don't play around Big ones . I need to do that , and you know what it's so nice about . Now you can get them on Prime Day , ship them over to your mama's house . True , they never have to pass the kids' eyes .
Speaker 2That's true . I don't have to worry about a hiding spot Uh-uh , because my kids usually know , around birthdays and Christmas , don't go in my office because that's the hiding place . But they're getting wise to that , you know . Ship it to your mama or Miss Connie house . Don't even worry about it .
Speaker 1That's what I do .
Speaker 2Good idea .
Speaker 1Yeah , and Chase too , like if I get him something , I don't want him to know what it is .
Speaker 2You know I'll get it shipped tomorrow .
Speaker 1Go pick it up late , yeah yeah , you don't have to worry about hiding it . You don't have to worry about storing it . That's their problem , storing it . Yeah , you find a hiding spot for it , please ? Yeah , so I don't have to anyway . All right , let's mention our uh longs products again .

Speaker 2So when everybody's running crazy on Black Friday , that's my day , that's our day to slow down , eat Thanksgiving leftovers and put up the tree I'm just getting so excited about this right now .
Speaker 1And then my husband always goes get some eggnog okay , and sometimes we drink a little spiked eggnog like the Pennsylvania Dutch . I love it . And then the children we , you know we go get the Borden's , don't play . Don't play , just get the Borden's brand Just get Borden's and then um and we , they drink a little bit of eggnog and we always warmed up my eggnog , us too .
Speaker 2Us too , but .
Speaker 1Chase , didn't they just drink it thick like that ?

I have also not dressed up before , and so like , just regular , like , like what I'm wearing now jeans and a t-shirt or something . So I don't . I can't really tell you that I do one specific thing . I don't know why . I don't know , it depends on the mood , yeah .
Speaker 1But here's the deal about Thanksgiving . I'm sure going to wear either a dress or some pants with some give .
Speaker 2Okay , got to have some loose clothing ?
