On this episode of The Unemployment Line, Dok and Larry P are getting you mentally and emotionally prepared for Thanksgiving season—Black family edition.

They start with why Southern winter is elite, ranking seasons, hoodie culture, and how cold it has to get before Black folks collectively say, “Yeah, I’ma just stay in the house.” From there, they dive into holiday house politics: who really gets invited, the art of not including certain cousins, dealing with in-laws that kill the vibe, and why some people mysteriously never hear about the after-party.

The fellas also get into SNAP benefits getting cut, people missing checks, and what that really means when Thanksgiving is around the corner. They break down family drama as unprocessed childhood trauma, how “you done changed” really means “you won’t let me drain you no more,” and why sometimes you gotta love folks from a distance. Plus: showing up early vs. late to functions, why helping people move is the worst favor ever, and the politics of borrowing money—including the audacity of asking for $2,000 and the science of only lending what you’re already prepared to lose.
