00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:11,160
Hey guys! What is going on? My name is Lily Monroe and you are listening to

2
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:16,440
Escort Confessions. Thank you so much for joining me here today. So I decided to

3
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:22,640
have a spontaneous decision of doing the Thanksgiving episode. And why? I hate it!

4
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:29,080
With passion! So here we are. Now before you start judging me and be like offended

5
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:35,140
oh why does she hate this American holiday? Here's some of the reasons. Okay?

6
00:00:35,140 --> 00:00:39,880
Okay, hopefully you will learn something about it. I mean whether you care or

7
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:43,960
disagree. Look, I'm just spreading the news and the real facts about

8
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:49,240
Thanksgiving, so hopefully you'll enjoy this episode. So first things first. I am

9
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:53,800
an American citizen. Not by choice, but you know that's a completely different

10
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:58,360
topic. I do love Christmas and New Year because you know I also celebrate those

11
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:03,520
in my country and I just love you know driving past the rich houses and seeing

12
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:08,620
all the Christmas lights and spending time with family and friends if I can

13
00:01:08,620 --> 00:01:16,080
and giving them awesome gifts. However, however Thanksgiving and I go back and we

14
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:20,680
do not like each other. So you know the first reason would be the meaning of

15
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:26,000
this holiday. Like how many of you actually know the origins of this holiday?

16
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:31,320
If we go way back Europeans they simply took over the Native American land.

17
00:01:31,320 --> 00:01:38,280
To quote from the source, the Wampanoag people faced enslavement

18
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:43,440
from European settlers and were pushed off of their homelands in what is now

19
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:48,320
modern-day Massachusetts. While to most Americans the holiday Thanksgiving

20
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:56,360
procures images of food, family and fellowship. To the Wampanoag Native

21
00:01:56,360 --> 00:02:02,040
Americans it is a day of mourning. Not mourning isn't like good morning, but

22
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:09,360
mourning isn't sad. It's all sad. The second reason is that many turkeys that

23
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:13,760
you buy from the store they are being raised in factory farms. If you guys don't

24
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:18,560
know what factory farm is, it's a big factory where all the animals are

25
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:22,400
cramped up and for turkeys their beaks and toes are removed without the

26
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:27,800
anesthesia. So it's horrible what happens on those. It's absolutely

27
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:32,560
horrible. Like if you work on the factory farm like I'm gonna come after you

28
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:37,680
motherfucker because that's I mean the things that you would see there is just

29
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:45,680
it's horrible. I yeah no comments no comments. And why like are these animals

30
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:51,280
on those farms? Because society keeps on populating but you probably should stop.

31
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:55,120
Society should stop populating because there's already many fucking idiots out

32
00:02:55,120 --> 00:03:00,400
there. Sorry, sorry but they really are. It's like every time I go on social

33
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:06,480
media and see the comments to like simple post it's like oh my god.

34
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:13,920
It's like everybody has computer and I feel like a lot of

35
00:03:13,920 --> 00:03:21,360
intelligent people stay away from social media because of how stupid it is. But

36
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:25,200
anyway society keeps on populating. There aren't enough animals in the

37
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:29,880
world to feed almost 8 billion people and therefore factories have to massively

38
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:37,160
reproduce animals and later slaughter them. Reason number three. Food and

39
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:41,880
preparation. You know out of the two years my first two years that I've been

40
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:46,720
in the United States I did celebrate Thanksgiving. Spent it with family

41
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:52,500
and friends well with family and I kind of hated the food. Like you know the

42
00:03:52,500 --> 00:03:58,880
turkey it's always dry. Cranberry sauce too sweet. You know and it wasn't because

43
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:05,280
like my mom cooked it or my stepdad. It's because it just kind of sucked and I

44
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,800
keep hearing people yeah like the turkey is dry. I'm like yeah like chicken is

45
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:16,240
better. Pork is better especially pulled pork. Yum. But you know the only things I

46
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:22,360
do remember eating were the pies. The pumpkin pie and the sweet potato pie.

47
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:30,000
Those are my favorite. I would just like get in there and just brrrr. But you know it's a lot of

48
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:35,280
preparation for the people who prepare the food because who just happen to be

49
00:04:35,280 --> 00:04:42,800
women most of the time. And they cook the food like for half the day and later you

50
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:48,160
would eat it in like less than 30 minutes. So yeah a lot of preparation, a lot

51
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:54,200
of grocery shopping, lots of spending and shopping. Like you could literally have a

52
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:59,920
family dinner whenever you can not just on special occasions. You could cook

53
00:04:59,920 --> 00:05:05,120
everybody could pitch in about cooking not just one person for cooking for ten

54
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,920
people. Like everybody could pitch in, cook their own food, cook their favorite

55
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:14,920
food and just eat it and it's gonna be fine. There's no need to you know prepare

56
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:19,560
the turkey for like four hours or I'm not sure how long it takes because I

57
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:26,680
don't like the taste of turkey and yeah. And Thanksgiving is popular for the

58
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:31,720
football. I don't like football. It's just a bunch of guys running around with shape

59
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:38,560
of an egg ball thing. And yeah like you watch Macy's Thanksgiving parade and

60
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:44,000
wherever and then I remember like Thanksgiving is all about like eating

61
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:49,120
so much food and then you feel guilty about it. No but it's like haha, haha, laughs

62
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:57,960
about it and yeah it's silly. The other reason is that November is kind of a

63
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:02,760
sucky month. The weather is cool, the windows cold, it's always cloudy, people

64
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:07,360
experience seasonal depression due to lack of sunlight and all we kind of want

65
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:13,240
to do is stay home and just binge watch all the TV shows. Next reason is

66
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:19,760
Black Friday. Billion dollar companies like Walmart and Target are simply lying

67
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:24,840
to you that all the items are on sale. They are not. It's a marketing tragedy.

68
00:06:24,840 --> 00:06:30,280
The items cost exactly what they were weeks ago and a lot of customer service

69
00:06:30,280 --> 00:06:35,280
workers are exhausted since they have to work on this holiday so they can provide

70
00:06:35,280 --> 00:06:40,640
for their families at home. I remember working on Black Friday at Joanne Fabrics

71
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:46,600
it was back in 2014. People are fucking insane and ruthless like they would

72
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:52,160
literally fight in the store. It's kind of it's kind of funny now that I think

73
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:57,280
about it. So anyways you should definitely be nice to the customer service workers

74
00:06:57,280 --> 00:07:02,080
who are working and watching the madness instead of being with their own families.

75
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:07,840
The next reason is everything is closed. So for people like me who don't celebrate

76
00:07:07,840 --> 00:07:14,920
this holiday it's literally a normal day for us. I was at the auto store the

77
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:18,800
another day and I met this like Mexican lady and she doesn't celebrate

78
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:24,520
Thanksgiving either. She's like a lot of our workers they just kind of take the

79
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:28,800
week off and I'm like oh because of Thanksgiving like and they are short

80
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:33,040
staffed so it's like Thanksgiving it's just another day for me like I want to

81
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:38,400
go to gym I want to work I want to go skydiving I want to do like you know

82
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:43,040
rampage at the local police department you know the usual stuff like I want I

83
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:47,920
want to work yeah and some people they don't want to work but it's fine it's

84
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:55,240
fine because you know like I I work my own hours I do this and yeah like lots

85
00:07:55,240 --> 00:08:00,080
of people they do deserve a break but everything's closed and it pisses me off

86
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:06,680
but yeah that would sum it up on my end you know I think that spreading the real

87
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:12,440
dark history is important the real truth behind Thanksgiving rather than when you

88
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:17,480
see on TV you know I see a lot of commercials that are like oh spend time

89
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:21,440
with your family like yeah I think it's great I think it's great that you should

90
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:25,480
be thankful but you should be thankful every day for a little things like you

91
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:31,680
know getting out of bed waking up you know having roof over your head food in

92
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:37,120
your belly and people who actually care about you not just one day a year so

93
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:43,960
