I heard the rumor you're gonna be on one of the floats, Simone? Is that true? 00:00:34 Speaker 1: No, it's gonna be windy and cold and freezing. 00:00:40 Speaker 2: Have you ever been to one of those parades? 00:00:42 Speaker 1: Well, I've been in a few parades, not the Thanksgiving Day one, but other parades. No, it's kind of strange marching down the road. 00:00:49 Speaker 2: I had to work it a few times when I was at Channel two. I just don't know why people like to see people on floats waving. Do you have any idea why they like to see that? No? 00:01:02 Speaker 1: I don't know why they even stand there for twelve hours when you can watch the TV. 00:01:06 Speaker 2: But right why do they millions of people turn on TV's is to watch people on floats waving everyone like animal house, and they will destroy each other. They'll be all right, but I'm not getting it. They are, they're waving. 00:01:22 Speaker 1: So what you know? It's also very generational. This Donald Duck comes by and every kid goes, who the hell is that? You know? 00:01:28 Speaker 2: They right? How about the rockets? I don't know one human being who's ever seen the rockets? Do you know anybody who's ever seen the rockets? 00:01:37 Speaker 1: Well, privately I've seen a few, but not the show them. So hey, you're the great historian. The first Thanksgiving we pictured the beautifully dressed Pilgrims. They came over in the wonderful Mayflower. Tell us what really happened back then? 00:01:54 Speaker 2: Well, sixteen twenty two, they're una may Flowers. Sixty six days they show up. They think they're in Virginia, but they're not. They're in Cape Cod and it's cold, windy, but they want off the ship because sixty six days and they couldn't go on top of the ship. They had all stayed beneath the deck and you can imagine the just the odor alone down there. So they all want to can't where they were, just want to get off the stupid mayflower. So they row in and they show up Plymouth. If you go up to Massachusetts, the town of Plymouth, there's no rock, all right, but they show up and then they look at each other and goes, well, what do we do now? Said and he driving restaurants or any door dash He's like, Okay, we have to find food or will die. Half of them die, half of them whoa yeah, within a year and I read about this and killing the witches, how this harrowing voyage and the reason that they had to make it. And they weren't called pilgrims to one hundred years later in the nineteenth century they labeled them pilgrims. They were called separatists or Puritans, and they were very harsh religious people, and everybody in Europe hated them. The Dutch hated them, the English hated them because they were like fanatics. They're like the people that come to your door, you know, and they want to convert you. That's what they were. And so they somehow survived, somehow with the help of the Native American and the guy named Squanto showed them how to get food out of the forest. So I have of them survived, but they're all quibbling and yelling at each other and in church for five hours and all of that. So it wasn't exactly club med there, if you know what I'm saying. 00:03:54 Speaker 1: So the first Thanksgiving dinner everybody was fighting too, not just today. 00:03:59 Speaker 2: Well now they had a dinner courtesy of Squanto in his a few tribe members, most of the tribe with white gap by smallpox. And Squanto was an Indian who was kidnapped by an English sailor and brought the Spain, learned how to speak English in Spain, and then somehow got back to Massachusetts. I don't know whether he flew jet blue. I don't know how he got back there, but Squanto was a good guy and helped him out. So they had a three day celebration where they all got you know, they weren't supposed to get drunk, but believe me, they were getting drunk. And they had oysters, mostly seafood, not turkey, not turkey or you know, mashed potatoes. It was mostly seafood day. But they had a good time. And then from there the Massachusetts Bay Colony was established. 00:04:57 Speaker 1: So how come we have to have turkey and stuff and all that? Why can't we have seafood? 00:05:02 Speaker 2: Well, a better question is why do we have the president of the United States pardoning the Turkey? Now. I heard a rumor that Senator Kelly's going to be on that line. He's going to get partnered along with the Kelly but I don't think that's true. 00:05:17 Speaker 1: Hey, those Congress people with their silly stunt. Although it worked, it was a pretty good stunt. But we going to an era of trolling and stunts, and that's how we're going to do our nation's politics. 00:05:30 Speaker 2: I know, it's so ridiculous. And a man, Donnie Trump, mean, he was a stunt too. I wrote a column on Billowiley dot com about this, called a stunt Factor. Yeah, I think you're right. I think this is the future politics as you set up this contrived nonsense. But I don't think this worked out well for the Democrats, the six of these people. I don't think they gained any currency, except for the far left cranks, because even if you don't like Trump, you're going why they're undermining the military. Now, is that what you're doing here? If they had to beef a legitimate beef of an order that might be beyond the constitutional authority, of the president. I'm willing to listen to that. But they didn't have anything. They just want to get on television and wail about how noble they are with
