we are 5 star bitches. We're to yo gadi. I'm your host Sequoia and today joining me to talk about

holiday foods. We have toya from that wasn't in my textbook podcast. Say what's up toya.

What up? Hello everybody. Me. Yeah, yeah, yeah, tell them a little bit about yourself. Tell

about your podcasts and all those things. Yes, my name is toya also known as toya from Harlem. I'm your

historian, homie, aka the Anthony Bourdain of history. Yeah, exactly. And I have a podcast called

that wasn't in my textbook, which is a biweekly, sometimes weekly, we won't talk about it.

We're trying to get this scheduled together. But it's a podcast that helps us uncover the things.

We always wish we learned from that boring, bulky textbook. So it's an adult podcast,

um, history podcast that is like the history class you never knew you always wanted to take. So we

talk about like the lies our teacher taught us. So like the real history of things giving us a

topic. Um, and then we also just do like some fun spicy stuff like the history of stripping in

the history of cannabis. So it's exactly. So it's the history class you never knew you always wanted

to take. So definitely subscribe. You can do that while you're listening to this episode. That

wasn't in my textbook. And you know, you don't have to go on any order. Renties or four, you can

listen to whatever you want and whatever order, whatever topic jumps out at you. I love that.

Now I'm definitely about to go check out that history of stripping episode. I want to know what

was for. It's a very interesting history. Mm hmm. Before we get into talking about holiday foods,

we have in my defense, in my defense is a segment where we bring one of our controversial or

unpopular opinions. And we defend it for you all. I do have one this week. Toia, you brought one.

Yes, I have one. Okay. Uh, you want me to start or you want to go? I think you just start.
