Brown Bag Mornings - Ep. 609 Thanksgiving Week Vibes PT.3! 🦃 | Brown Bag Mornings (11/26/25)

Episode Date: November 26, 2025

This episode begins by highlighting the 10-year tradition of the viral Thanksgiving gathering between Wanda Dench and Jamal Hil Hinton, which originated from a text message sent to the wrong number. The main discussion revolves around a listener's dilemma asking if it is fair to request that his girlfriend pay for half the cost to fix his keyed car and replace his missing PlayStation—damage she inflicted when she initially caught him cheating—now that they have gotten back together.

Yo, like Greg, Thanksgiving week, bro. Leti, there's a Thanksgiving tradition that's lasted longer than any relationship that I've had. It went viral 10 years ago. What's the longest relationship you were? Almost four years. Almost four.

Hey, that's pretty good. But this tradition is 10 years. Okay. Yeah, it went viral 10 years ago. An older lady named Wanda Dench sent the wrong testament. text message to somebody. Jamal Hilton. Wanda.

Oh, you get to. You guys probably remember this text. Wanda was an old white lady. Yes. She texted who she thought was her grandkids and it was like, hey, dinner's at this time. And her grand this guy is like, hey, who are you, do you think you're talking to? And she's like, my grandkids. And then he's like, all right, send me a photo of you grandma and it's a white lady.

And then he sends a picture of him. And then she's like, well, just come on over anyway. Oh, that's so cool. I do remember this. Ever since then, every single year they've been celebrating Thanksgiving together, and it's now 10 years since that has happened. Are they in the same area? I'm assuming maybe the same area code.

But I did, from what I remember hearing about this throughout the years, her husband passed away. Oh, yeah. So that was a year where he celebrated. I think he also had a fiancé, the fiance came. This person does not know, but except with a text. Wow. And I've always wondered how the grandkids feel,

The actual ones that that text was meant for. Right. True. The initial grandkids that she was texting to come over and accidentally text this guy. I don't see them in the photos. No, but it's their fault. They didn't give Granny the new number. That's messed up, bro.

If I change my number right away, I'm going to give my grandma my phone number because if she can't reach me, she's going to panic. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? And, you know, they don't know, like, the most technology. Like, so that's their fault. This whole thing is their fault in the first place. And I didn't know, like, wrong numbers can leave. to relationships like that, like, because they have

a longstanding, like now, like new granny relationship. My dad actually tells me a story about how he got one of his girlfriends in Mexico. He was calling another one of his girlfriends and apparently missed a number. This woman picks up and then she's like, no wrong number. That's not who you're looking for.

He likes her voice, so he calls again another time. Like, then he calls the lady. A few days calls back and she's like, I'm telling you this is the wrong number. He's like, oh, I know it's the wrong number, but I just wanted to see how you're doing. What's up? And if I could meet up with you.

And that woman to this day has been one of my dad's quote-unquote poyitas over there. Wow. Your dad got gay. He does. No, no, no, it's the right one now. Yeah, it's the right today. Did he ever tell you what he did with the original? That's the right one now, baby.

No, he still talks to the original. To both? Yes. Wow. It's wild. It's wild. My only rule is that I never meet any of them. I want to see his Rolodex.

Yeah, I want to know that. But that is very, like, player to me that you got the wrong number. Yeah. Say, hey, wrong number. No, no, no, no. Let's just see what's up. Wow. I'm going to make it the right one.

When I get the wrong number, I go along with it. Like, whatever they text, I'm always texting. Like, oh, is this this child? So if someone texts you and it's not your phone, it's someone else that they're trying to reach. Yeah, I go along with it no matter what. And I make it worse and worse and worse. Oh, you're a situation impossible because they're texting the wrong number anyway. It's not like I'm going to know them.

I've been getting a bunch of text messages about, apparently, Apparently, maybe I have a close number to somebody that's in medical school. And it's freaking me out because they're like, hey, we need to be in the lab in like 30 minutes. Are you ready? And I'm just like, bro, what do I have to be? Like, it's a lot of like medical jargon. People are texting me and I'm like, I don't know what's going on. But it's weird.

I never respond. You should. You should. I'll be there right now. What am I going to do in? What am I going to do? Maybe you can get free health care. Oh, that'd be tight.

Just be like, I'm in the ER right now, guys. Where are you at? I'm here already. We're dissecting a person. Good. Keep up a person. All right. Yes.

Let this be your lesson. Maybe just answer that wrong number every once in a while. You might help a 10-year relationship with somebody. All right. Check this out, homie. You need a homeie or need some help. We need your help. We need a line.

I mean, phone line. We got you for. The homie help line. Lucho needs our help. Lucho sent us a DM and said, What up, Brown Bag. So I got this girl that took me back. for being a bendy.

All right. But I kind of want her to pay for something she did wrong too. Ooh. All right. So he said, all right. So I cheated on my girl, Christy, right? Oh, my gosh. And it was a whole drama.

Straight to the point. He said, she caught me at a party with another girl. That same night, her and her homegirl scratched the F out of my car. Then went to my house and dumped my PlayStation. Ball. Not the PlayStation. The PlayStation, bro. What did the PlayStation have to do with it?

Just keep reading. Just keep reading. Sorry, sorry, sorry. To this day, I don't know where it is. So that all happened at the beginning of the year. But this summer, we started seeing each other around little by little. And, man, she's going to fit and fine. Oh, man.

And I couldn't help myself. We hooked up a couple times, and now it's on and popping again. It's crazy because I feel more in love with her now than I did before. But there's just one or two things. I feel bitter about. Brown bag. My car is still keyed and my PS5 is still missing.

I know I should be thankful she took me back. But at the same time, I feel like if she took me back, she also has to take responsibility. Oh my God. For what she did to me. Yep. No?

What about what he did? They had, keep reading. He said, I want to bring it up, but don't know how. Things are good, but anytime I go on my car, I feel upset at her scratching

up my baby. Then when we're chilling on my bed watching TV, all I can look at is the empty space where my console used to be. This guy. And I just want her off me, you know? Get on from here. Where is she? Oh, I'm getting hot.

Where's my PS5? Brownback, am I wrong to want her to fix what she messed up? I'll even be okay with her going half on it. Oh, wow. Is that fair? And before you judge me for my sins or my PlayStation, I'm only 26. I'm still learning. So yeah, please help me.

I'm only a grown-ass man. All right, at what age are you guys like responsible for your actions, men? Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. No, I'm asking the question. At what age? 33, the year of Jesus. That's when you're responsible for your actions. Anything before that, a man is not responsible for his actions.

I was lost. I was lost. Oh, my gosh. What about women? At what point are we responsible for? 18. That's crazy. 17 and a half. Yeah.

They mature faster than men, right? Yeah. That's true. I don't even know that that's true. I think that's something we've agreed on in order for this stuff to be okay. You're right. With great power comes great responsibility. You know what I'm saying?

No, I don't understand. What just guys? Back, back. How's called? Lucho. Lucho. Lucho. Lucho.

Lucho had something going on at a, party. His girlfriend rolls up, catches him. Him and her and her homegirls key up his car. Yeah. Then go to his crib because he says they went to my house. And they dump his PlayStation. It's over after that.

It's over like, oh, he knows like I deserved it. I did that. And then dang, but she went on her fitness journey. I'm a focus on myself journey. And she looks great. This happened in the beginning of the year. like January years. In the summertime, she's summertime fine.

He's been seeing her. They start getting it on and popping too. And her too, she took him back. Tami'i. Yeah. If I could talk to her, also, too. Why you take him back if all that stuff happened?

You were focusing on yourself. You went through your fitness journey, all of that. Just to go back. Just to go back. Just to go back to where he started. And so he now wants to say, if she took me back, shouldn't she take responsibility too for what she did?

Yes. He still hasn't fixed his car that was keyed up And he doesn't have a PlayStation PlayStation is life to you fools Yes, it is. Everything's on there. My 2K player, you know how hard I work to get my 2K player? Do you have a PS5 bro?

I have an Xbox and my brother has a PS5 But it's the same concept No, I know, I know, I'm asking. If somebody took my Xbox, I'd be pissed. Yeah, okay, I don't have either And Jorge doesn't have either. Thank goodness, Hordeca, I love you so much. I'm a PlayStation guy.

Vic can't play his PlayStation. Oh, that's so sad. But at least I have it. Well, why don't you give it to Lutro? Sell it. Oh, yeah. Wait, question. But how much are they?

Like what's the price? 600? Yeah. PS5. All right. What's the price to, like, fix a car that's been keyed? Oh, my God. We got to ask him where, what part of the car is key.

But low key, if it's her and her home grows, that means they each caught a spot. Yeah. The whole thing. My car is keyed right now. I don't even want to, like, fix it. Your car is key? Yeah. Somebody keyed my car.

Yeah. My whole side of my car just. It was that girl's man that you took to Disneyland? Yes. Because you took boyfriend and girlfriend photos with her at Disneyland, but she has a whole man. No, he likes it. No. The men?

Yeah. But yeah, it's going to be expensive to fix it. It's him. But that's who I think. Let's play clue. Who do you think? It's her ex is X. Scratch.

His ex is. Yes. His ex is X. Oh, okay. Another one. No, but I don't even want to know. It's a big scratch on the side. It's all I want to fix it.

Okay. It's going to be a lot of money. Yeah. It's going to be a lot of money. Okay, so he's saying, hey, should I, I'm coming to you a brown bag. Yeah. Should I tell my girl she got to fix this? She got to fix what I messed up.

She's responsible for love. Because she took me back. Oh, no. She wouldn't have to fix it if she didn't take him back. True, true, true, right? Because he would have to be like, this is my punishment. Yeah, I mean, he could have. But whatever.

Yeah, he could have. You're right, you're right. Property. And we don't know how she got in the crib. If she didn't have the key, then it's breaking and entering. A B&E breaking mentoring? Yeah. So I love that.

But they chose each other back. And now he's like, look, this would just make me feel a lot happier if she went and fixed my car and gave me return my vanished PlayStation. Is he planning on handing her an invoice? No, take it. Well, he wants that advice from us. I got an estimate from my local paint shop. Take it to small claims. He can't.

He's a wooder now. No, yeah. He's wood or now. He could have. Maybe. It's going to be dismissed. Just Judy not feeling that. Thanks.

And don't take it to Laura. No, no, no, no. Cascerado. Oh, she's not tell you off. Oh, yeah. Deanna, North Adiwood, what would you tell Lucho? I mean, I just say one thing. Can he take the cheating back?

No, right? Exactly. Oh, wow. That should make sense. Exactly. Can he unmess around with that grew up the party? No. He can only live with his regrets.

But he hasn't said. He hasn't said once that he wishes he never did it. I know. Well, he said he's on. And he also said he's 26. He's still learning. Yeah. About you be 26 without a PS5?

Your friends are roasting you right now. Good online, bro. Good online. Oh, you can. Elizabeth and Reseda. You say that Lucho's girlfriend has to pay. What? Yeah, I think she has to pay because that's crazy.

Like, that's so extra. She already had her body, revenge body, and then she took them back. So it's like, you know, you have to pay for the consequences of that stuff is expensive. And I can speak from experience because I've broken a phone. And then I got back with him. So I'm like, I need to pay for this phone. I mess it up out of anger, right? We do things out of anger.

And I just feel like her, and he's even being nice saying, oh, you know what, half of it. I can pay half. Like, that's nice. Like, I feel like she should, if she's going to get back with him, she should take accountability and just at least pay half. At least pay half. What about you? No, Elizabeth.

So you're talking, you're talking because you've been through this. Tell me what happened that you messed up your dude's phone. Yeah. Okay. It happened. Yeah. I thought he was texting one of my friends. Oh.

Okay. So I saw the Instagram, but it was like kind of the same. They had like the same Instagram, my friend and this other girl. Oh. So I saw it pop up. and I got really mad, but we were in an argument. So I grabbed this phone and I threw it against the TV, so I broke the TV and the... Oh, my gosh, Elizabeth!

You're wrong. I love you. See, that's what I'm saying. But I don't think of a toxic. I understand that sometimes we get mad and we do things out of anger because, you know, he hurt her. But you were, I'm assuming you ended up being wrong. I'm assuming you ended up being wrong. Yeah, I ended up being wrong

Okay, I got to pay for this How much was it? How much did you have to pay? Well, okay, I cheated on the TV because I gave it my old TV Nice, nice, nice, yeah, you just replaced it. You replaced it, you replaced it, you replaced it and I just gave it a phone, the phone was 500 bucks Yichole, that's a lot, that's a lot when, yeah, when it doesn't quote you at all.

That's what happens when you jump to conclusions. Yeah, yeah. All right. So being from someone that it went through it, she should have to pay at least half? I think it's because, like, she got back with him. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I feel like if you get back with him

and you really care for him and love him, then I feel like you should at least pay half or at least offer. Like, she should have offered to say, you know what? I'm sorry. You know, we both messed up. I did something bad. You did something bad.

You know what? Let me try to fix this and, like, pay half. Or, like, I can pay you in payment. Or at least pick that initiative, you know? Can she pay? A and P? You still? Guys?

Oh. She's been. He's still not happy. How much is that off? It should be something. That's the 50% off. All right. Thank you so much for calling in Elizabeth.

I appreciate you, baby girl. I'll be throwing no phones. Hilarious. Phone to the TV. Yeah, we always regret it when we throw a phone, I don't lie. I love you, Jorge. I'm so sorry. You've done that?

Chill. What? You've thrown a phone? Not his. Wait. Yours? Yeah. I was like, what?

What is that? What is that? property. I'm 37. I'm still learning. You're just a baby. I'm still learning. You're just a girl. You're just a girl. Yeah, it's me. I'm the wrong one. I'm the toxic one. What it is perfect. Okay. All right. Yasmine and Azusa, we're talking to Lucho. Lucho hit us up because he wants to know if it's fair to ask his girlfriend to pay for his keyed car and lost PlayStation that she did when she found him at a party in the beginning of the year messing around with another.

the girl. Now they got back together so he's like, you're back with me, so what's up, you're going to pay half or what? Is it fair? Yeshmeen, talk to us. What would you say? Look, I genuinely, she's on the right. I've been a victim of this too. There's no consequences

out here for men anymore. Karma isn't taking up the slack, so I'm with her. What do you mean? What? Yes, he said call me karma because I'm going to come back around. You are the consequence. It's my middle name. It's my middle name.

It's my middle name. First name revenge. I've been there, done that. I didn't get my six years back, so I took what he loved most, which was his car. What did he stole it? And then seized. Not going to say it. Oh, my God.

We listen to we don't judge. So God is looking out for our girlies. If he messed you up, girl mess him where it hurt. Okay? No. Okay. But see, you left. Left baby girl, you left.

This girl came back. She got back with him. So that's where the lines are blurred. I went back too. I'm not saying that I did it. I'm not told me that I did it. I eventually left. But like I said, I was a victim.

There's no consequences out here with the law. There's no consequences with God. None of, well, you know what? What? You're going to be out there messing with another girl. Wasting your girl's time. You should have just broken up with her in the first place. Those are the consequences of,

Being a dog. I'm sorry. And then you want to go to ruin my engine for that? Yeah, well, that's what she did. She ended up doing that and then eventually left it. Greg, I want to do that to you, baby. Come on. Oh, there we go.

Bye. Bye. Bye, because you will do that to him and then he'll do stuff to you and then I'm just not. By her saying that, 100% would do it again. She just has Riz. That is crazy. That was the old me, baby. She's comedy.
