Charlamagne Deguy. We are the Breakfast Club. We're taking your calls. 800 585. We were talking about this woman who hosted Thanksgiving dinner at her crib. She said last year it cost her over $500 and she couldn't afford it. So this year she did spaghetti. So we're asking 800-585-1051, what are your thoughts on that? What you think, Jeff? I know some people probably got there, like, is this a baby shower? Like, you know? Cause spaghetti and spaghetti is. People were mad because I expected a spread. I get it. This the thing. I would have been mad. She could have told them before they got there, to be honest with you. I mean. Cause maybe she did not have it. Yo, like, to be honest, spaghetti, that's a struggle. That was a struggle meal, like, growing up for around my way, you know what I'm saying? And I felt like if she didn't have it, she just didn't have it. Why didn't y'all bring food? Or she could, but she could have told them that before they got there. Only thing y'all gonna be eating is spaghetti. Like, if y'all can pitch in and help me cook or help me buy stuff, that's better. But I never looked at spaghetti as a struggle meal. I looked at it as a delicacy. Nice. That was a gourmet meal with two pieces of white bread and some corn. What then it's not spaghetti no more. That sounds no like spaghetti. And there's some corn on the side. You know what I'm saying? It's corn to the side of some white beef. Well, we were struggling, so we didn't have the corn. We just had yellow corn and spaghetti. We just had the noodles, and we didn't have ground beef. Now, noodles and butter. We just had the noodles. This noodles and butter is a struggle meal. But if you got the noodles with the ground beef and the sauce and some white bread and corn, oh, that's a full course meal. I don't eat red sauce, so I eat spaghetti with butter. That's what I like. That's what I like. I don't eat spaghetti. I don't eat lasagna with no butter. I'm good. Okay. As a kid, y'all was struggling hard. No, we wasn't struggling. I just didn't like recipes. Oh, that's just what y'all like. Oh, you're not black dude either, though. Keep that in mind. You keep forgetting that he's. That he's black. I am black. It's funny. I posted a picture of my dad. They was like, you must be adopted. No, I'm black. That's messed up. No, you might be adopted. I'm not adopted. I'm black. They ain't telling you, yo. They not telling you. I'm black. He's not like us. He's not like us. I'm about to sue you. Hey, yo, Per, I'm about to sue you. Defamation. Hello? Who's this? Hello? Good morning. Hey, what's up, man? What's going on? Oh, I didn't know y'all had connected, man. Good morning. Gonna. Peace to the God. What's going on, King? Peace. King, how are you? How you feeling? I'm good, bro. I'm good, man. We're Lauren at. Man, she has. She floating around here, man. Shout out to Laura, man. That's my girl. I was enjoying her, man. But look, right. What's up, light skin? Peace, peace, peace. But tell them keep their ass home, man. If they're not grateful and they're not thankful, keep their ass home. You're not. Keep your ass home, man. That's how I look at it, man. Family is everything. I think you coming over to celebrate family, give thanks, all praises, you know? I mean, you can't contribute. You don't like spaghetti, kick your ass home, man. That's something. I'm with you. It's about family. Forget all the food stuff. The fact that you got family alive and healthy and together, that's the most important thing. Not only given. What you mean? It's given. The most important thing is the food. But, you know, it's family together and then the food second. You should eat. That ain't true. Y'all. Y'all don't. Y'all don't want to sit around standing in each other's face, starving. All right. Y'all don't like each other that much, but I do feel like you should cook what you can afford. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? You don't got to jump out the window. And in this case, that's what she did. That's right, Britney. At least you do. Turkey ground beef for Thanksgiving. Turkey ground meat. Jesus, I hate that. Good morning, Britney. What's your thoughts? My thoughts is to walk in on Thanksgiving and to Steve spaghetti. That's kind of disrespectful. If she needed help, she could have asked someone to bring a dish. Everybody understand that times is hard, but to sit up there and to just serve spaghetti and to not even give the option to offer to help. Yeah, if I walk in and start spaghetti on Thanksgiving, I'm knocking it over because what is this? Oh, now we fighting in the house. You know, not my mama, my mama. Spaghetti over. Now we fighting nothing. We not fighting nothing. I'm knocking it over because you should have asked for help. It's about being thankful. It's a family thing. We all could have contributed and came together. Don't just take it upon yourself to ruin everyone's Thanksgiving because you broke. She a stud. Damn. Yeah, she definitely a stud. You a stud. I'm definitely not. I have a call with my boyfriend. Deep harassment. Y'all got a lot of nerves trying to step for me. Do you see them? You see them just identifying you as a stud for no damn reason?

It's all my bad. Yo, you right. You're right. What you get for profiling people? I know you right. Said I'm sick. I'm in Detroit. Britney labeling people's duds out here, My bad. Okay? She was just so aggressive. You just assume she got a strap on in her back. They said I was gay, and they said I was the man. When 800. I'm naturally aggressive, but Thanksgiving is my favorite. So to disrespect one of my favorites, it's got to go there. I feel you. The phone ain't even hang up on it. You see how the aggressive Thanksgiving is one of our favorites. Cause we like food and we like fellowship. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? That's the reason. It ain't because of. I don't even know what the hell Thanksgiving. I don't know what the meaning of Thanksgiving. I don't know either. But I love the fact the family come over, we watch the game, we play cards, we Play board games. That's what it's about with us. Who cares about the food? 800. No, the food is the most important thing next to the family. Stop saying, who cares about the food? Cause if you didn't care about the food, you'd have your family over there. You wouldn't go to nobody. Yeah, you wouldn't go over there. What the hell is you talking about? 800 5851. 105. What?

You calling from Mo corner three. What's happening? I was there last week. I know I missed it, but I know. Great job. So what you think? Talk to us. So I'm just applauding her for bringing the family together. Had we done, I would have brought the garlic bread. Somebody could have brought meatballs or something. I don't know. But the fact that she did that and her family was together, that's all that counts. Yeah, but, like, y'all say nobody eating turkey, nobody eating ham, so too many leftovers. Did what she had to do. Now, see, you absolutely right. Why they just didn't do a potluck? Why we ain't. I just thought about that. Why they ain't do a potluck? Everybody bring. Everybody bring a little dish. I literally said that, like, the last 10 minutes. You did. You said potluck? Yeah. Well, not in Say those words. And I'm like, why? You said, like, 10 minutes ago. Right? Like, why they just all bring food? Like, that's dumb. Hello? Who's this? This is Lamar. Lamar, what's up? Where you calling from? I'm calling from Jersey. All right, talk to us. Yeah, Be honest with you. Like, if there's no food, it's the different ways you can look at this. If she cooked the spaghetti from scratch, I'm kind of good with that. You know what I mean? If she gave me, like, raviolis or anything like that, then I'm gonna have to ask questions like, are you being funny? Yeah. You know, I mean. Or maybe you're being creative. I don't know. You know? I don't know. You know what I'm saying? But at the end of the day, she got some food on the table. That's right. That's right. And it's. And it's about being thankful for the fact that she got food on the table. That's right. I'm with. You know I'm saying. And Christmas is coming up so that, like, you know, November things give us, like, the buffer. You don't want to spend too much money on that holiday. We got to save all that for Christmas. You got to get the gifts for Christmas for the kids. You right? I do. You feel me? So it's like, I'm good. I'm not spending that bread. I'm spending the bread for Christmas. I do wonder why she didn't tell the rest of the family, though. If she spent 500 the previous year and she didn't have it to spend this year, why not just say that? Yeah. Why not just tell the folks, like, hey, man, you know, things tight. The cost of everything is up. That's the only thing. So y'all gonna have to chip in or y'all gonna have to bring your own dishes if we gonna have Thanksgiving dinner. She should have said something. Cause I ain't gonna lie. If I walk in the house and I only see spaghetti, I'm like, yo, damn, I had my mouth set on turkey wings and all that, like. And you only got spaghetti, so. And they must go to her house every year. Like, she must be the one that always hosts. But she ain't have it this year. Imagine if that's a mother in law, though. You go to your mother in law's house, you walk in, and it's just spaghetti. Damn. And also, too, now you're realizing why those turkey drives and those food drives that people be knowing just why they mean so much during this time of year. Cause people don't be having. All right, well, let's go to one more caller. Hello, who's this? Aisha from Grayson, North Carolina. Hey, Aisha from North Carolina. How you feeling? I'm great at the proper work. Good. Now what's your thoughts? Now, you get to the house, and there's only spaghetti there. How you feeling? So, yes, I will be upset, but at the same time, yes, groceries do cost money. And if you really want me to cook that bad, then just take care everybody. You know, family coming over. Give me about 30, 50 bucks plus family, and I'll make something happen. That's right. All right, well, thank you. All right. You're welcome. Y'all have a good morning. You too. Now, what's the moral of the story, man? Do what you can, but definitely look out for your family. Help your family. You feel me? Don't, don't. Don't be upset about. Don't get too upset about it. Like you said, in my opinion, Thanksgiving is about coming together. You know, like you said, the fellowship. I take both of which y'all said and put it together. Yeah. It's about food. It's about the fellowship. It's about the family and what you're most grateful and thankful for. You feel me? And if you don't have gratitude, like, if you go to somebody's house and you like, oh, that's all you got is spaghetti. And you turning your nose up at it. You missing the whole reason for the season. Isn't it about gratitude and thanks? And not only that. And that's why, you know, in this time of the season, it's always a blessing to be able to give back. And that's why those turkey drives, those food drives where people get those foods, I know a lot of times they be like, oh, they just doing a turkey drive. But as you can see that that is well needed at where people can't afford it. So if you can make sure you do give back or even if you just can just go to those events and be a volunteer as well. And we got just with the mess coming up and salute the EBT too, man. Yeah. Nah, for real. For real. But also no. The moral of the story is they could have went to Golden Corral on Thanksgiving. Yeah. This year they did us their first time doing that where they had Thanksgiving dinner and it was like discounted crazy words. Turkey, yams, everything like traditional Thanksgiving soul food. They had that. So if somebody come to my house, oh yeah, you only got spaghetti here. Take your ass down the street, cuz how much you think a yeah, cuz they got everything there. They got the yams, they got turkey, they got ham, they got macke. And you could have took. And you can take it to go. You could have took it to go. You don't have sit there.
