This week’s episode begins with the mandatory Mischa ASMR, complete with crunches, sighs, and that “I’m the star and you’ll deal with it” energy. She blesses us with her presence… and then returns later with a squeaky toy solo that absolutely no one asked for but everyone gets. 🐾✨🎺

We kick things off with the Thanksgiving Ghost of Marsh Bridge, where the vibes are cold, creepy, and extremely on-brand. Lauren confidently believes that the “firemen” who stoked coals on old steam trains were the shirtless firemen from calendars, the type with glistening abs and suspenders hanging off their shoulders. Spoiler: they were not. Reality deals a harsh blow.

After we recover from that emotional devastation, we slide on over to the REAL first Thanksgiving — the one that happened in Florida, not Plymouth. That’s right: Florida was out here hosting the OG Thanksgiving while the pilgrims were still figuring out how to not die of everything.

We break down how this erases the truth, how the traditional Thanksgiving narrative has been sanitized to make colonizers look like polite dinner party hosts, and how the whitewashing harms Native Americans and distorts the reality of their history. We also talk about ways to acknowledge and celebrate Indigenous people in a way that is respectful, honest, and not drenched in textbook-level lies.

Throughout the episode:

By the end, Mischa has dropped her squeaky toy career to resume her true passion: snoring loudly enough to qualify as paranormal activity.

Join us for ghosts, historical truth bombs, Florida chaos, and the kind of unhinged commentary that your fourth-grade history book simply was not prepared to handle. 🦃👻📚
