Talk Ya Sh!t
Why Do We Go Broke Every Holiday?
Big Slick here 👊 Got a story or need advice? Text me now — might make it on Talk Ya Sh!t! 🎙️💯
The ads say go big or you’re failing your family. We say keep your joy and your money. Big Slick brings unfiltered, straight-talk energy to a seasonal truth most people feel but rarely say out loud: holidays are priceless, but overspending is a choice. From Thanksgiving menus that balloon into waste to Christmas lists that teach kids to crave more, we unpack the habits, emotions, and marketing pressure that turn celebration into stress. Big Slick gets honest about the invisible reasons we overdo it—like trying to heal childhood lack by piling gifts on our own kids—and how that backfires. You’ll hear a simple framework to reset expectations: fewer, better gifts; clear budgets by category; and a tighter, smarter plan for hosting that doesn’t leave you eating scraps all week. Slick tackles Valentine’s Day with the same heat, arguing that real romance happens in small, steady acts, not a once-a-year spending spree. If you’ve ever felt the January money hangover, this conversation gives you language, tools, and confidence to opt out. Walk away with practical moves you can use right now: cap the number of gifts without killing the vibe, embrace potlucks and portion control, choose experiences over excess, and set norms your kids can understand. Most of all, reclaim the meaning of the season by aligning your wallet with your values. Hit play, share it with someone who needs a reality check, and if you’re rocking with the message, subscribe, leave a review, and tell us the one holiday expense you’re cutting this year.

SPEAKER_00:What up, what up, what up, what up, what up? It's your boy, Big Slick. And I'm back again for another episode of Talk Your Shit. First, I want to give a shout out to all the listeners. Whether you home, at work, in your car, or all the truck drivers on the road, I appreciate you tuning in. Yo, today's show, I'm gonna jump right into it. Today's show is about don't go broke on the holidays. Listen, people, I don't know why everybody goes crazy when the holidays come around, man. With spending money. That's crazy. Everybody goes crazy with spending money during the holidays. It's supposed to be a time just to be with your family, man. You know, to chill, to talk, to have fun, to talk shit. You know what I'm saying? That's what the holidays is for. It's not all about spending money, but a lot of y'all go overboard for the holidays. Stop doing it. Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's, Valentine's. It's you're spending too much money, man. What's going on? You know, everybody OD on Christmas, definitely. Everybody OD on gifts. Right? Why am I out there spending that money then in January you broke and can't pay no bills? You tripping, especially on these on the on the babies, man. A lot of people OD on the baby. I'm talking about the infants, the baby babies, the little kids, toddlers, two, three, one. You getting them so much stuff. The kids don't even care about the gifts you're getting them. Truthfully, they rather play in the box the shit came in. They don't even care about the gift you got them. They'll crawl up in the box and playing that shit. You done bought them some shit, they don't even want. Like, what are you doing, man? Y'all jumping out the window, spinning all this bread, and then on Thanksgiving, it's so much food. People be spending so much money on so much food. Half of the people just come to your crib and take three, four plates home, just taking away food. Listen, you don't have to do all that, man. Sometimes you just gotta downsize. Don't cook for 400 people, just cook for your crib, man. Times is getting tight. You might not be able to feed every every damn body. Feed who's in your house, man. Or you're gonna be looking crazy next week because ain't gonna be no food in that fridge because you done spent everything. You know what I'm saying? Cousin done took home four, five alum, four, five plates wrapped up in aluminum for you. You thought you was gonna have some leftovers, and now you don't got nothing. Y'all eating bologna sandwiches for the rest of the week. Stop going crazy for the holidays, man. Stop spending all this unnecessary money. It makes no sense, man. Keep it small, man. Keep it small. Take care of your crib in your household. You don't gotta do it that big. Christmas, stop going crazy buying all these kids' gifts. They don't need all that, man. They they they just don't. One or two gifts, you're good. But all these 10 gifts and this and that, within a week, the gift is gonna be broke, or the kid gonna be done lost it, or they don't even want to play with it no more. So you just wasting a lot of money for no reason. Stop going broke for the holidays. A lot of y'all is what's happening is that you might not got a lot of gifts when you was younger. So now you get your kids a lot of gifts because it was something that you didn't get. So really you getting the gifts for you. It ain't even got nothing to do with the kids because the kids only know what you give them. So if you give your child two gifts or two or three gifts, that's all they're gonna expect. But if you go out there and OD and get 10 gifts, five, six gifts every year, they're gonna expect that. Now, cool, if it's not hurting your pockets, by all means, get them, get, get everything, buy out the store. But if it's gonna hurt your pockets later on, chill with that because your child don't care about all that. Like I told you, they rather play the play in the box it came in than the damn gift you gave them. Believe me, I'm telling you the truth. Everybody done been there and done that, you know. I'm saying, so you don't you don't gotta OD, man. Thanks giving up, and then you OD, you know, a lot of people OD on Valentine's Day, which is crazy because you're supposed to show love to your partner every day, anyway. So why are you ODing on one day? You're supposed to be showing love every day, you're supposed to be buying flowers and all that every week. Supposed to be doing all this already. So why are we ODing on Valentine's Day? Spending all your bread, and now you take you about two months to get back right again, and then you because you just spent all your money during Christmas, then you popped off New Year's, right? You're trying to regroup from that, and then in another month, by the next month, you're doing Valentine's. Come on, man, it's set up to keep you broke, people. Look what's going on here, man. Wake up. You're gonna be broke half of the year fucking with these holidays. Stop ODing on the holidays, man. Chill, be easy. You already know what it is. It's big slick. Keep some money in your pocket and stop just spinning shit on dumb shit, man. Every day is a holiday. You wake up, bruh. You already know what it is. It's big slick.
