[MUSIC]
GINGER: WELL, THIS IS THE CELEBRATION SEASON.
IT'S THANKSGIVING TIME.
AND WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO BE THANKFUL FOR?
WE'RE GOING TO SEE WHAT JOYCE HAS TO SAY ABOUT
WHY CELEBRATING, WITH CAKE, IS SO VERY IMPORTANT.
JOYCE: AND I THINK YOU KNOW ME WELL ENOUGH BY NOW TO KNOW
THAT I DON'T BOTHER TEACHING ANYTHING THAT I DON'T REALLY
BELIEVE AND THAT I DON'T INTEND TO PRACTICE AND THAT I DON'T
REALLY BELIEVE IS GONNA BE LIFE-CHANGING.
AND THIS IS A VERY SMALL ADJUSTMENT THAT CAN MAKE
A VERY BIG CHANGE IN OUR LIVES.
WE DON'T TAKE ENOUGH TIME TO CELEBRATE.
TODAY, YOU HEAR PEOPLE SAY, "AHH."
"WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO FOR YOUR BIRTHDAY?"
"AHH, NOTHIN', I'M JUST ANOTHER YEAR OLDER.
THAT'S NO BIG DEAL." CAN I ASK YOU A QUESTION?
IF WE THROW A GIGANTIC PARTY FOR A 1-YEAR-OLD--
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
JOYCE: I MEAN, WE GO ALL OUT.
EVERYBODY GETS INVITED.
THE KID GETS TO STICK HIS FACE IN THE WHOLE CAKE.
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
JOYCE: I MEAN, IT'S JUST, "OH, WE GOTTA CELEBRATE.
HE'S A YEAR OLD." WELL, YOU KNOW, WHAT ABOUT BY
THE TIME YOU GET TO 70?
SHOULDN'T THAT BE, LIKE, A BIGGER CELEBRATION THEN?
[AUDIENCE CHEERING]
JOYCE: BUT BY THEN, WE THINK, "OH, I DON'T NEED TO DO THAT.
I'M JUST ANOTHER YEAR OLDER." YEAH, YOU'RE ANOTHER YEAR OLDER.
YOU'VE SURVIVED ANOTHER YEAR.
YOU'RE STILL HERE, AND THAT'S SOMETHING TO CELEBRATE.
I DON'T MESS AROUND WITH A DAY ANYMORE.
I'M JUST DOIN' IT FOR A WHOLE WEEK.
WHEN I GOT ABOUT 65, I THOUGHT, "PFFT, WE'RE GONNA
HAVE A LONG CELEBRATION." AND I WANT GIFTS FROM EVERYBODY.
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
GINGER: WELL, WE'RE ALSO CELEBRATING
THE 100th EPISODE OF THE TALK IT OUT PODCAST.
LADIES: YAY!
GINGER: SO, THIS IS A CELEBRATION FOR ALL
OF YOU WHO'VE BEEN PART OF THE PODCAST WITH US, TOO.
WE'VE HAD SOME REALLY FUN MOMENTS.
WHAT ARE YOUR-- WHAT ARE SOME OF THE MOMENTS
THAT STAND OUT IN YOUR MIND?
ERIN: I MEAN, THERE'S SO-- LIKE, I HAVE SOME FUNNY ONES
OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD.
MOST ARE THINGS THAT JAI HAS SAID.
JAI: OH, MY GOSH.
ERIN: IN THE BEGINNING-- DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE
HAVE SAID THIS TO ME, TOO?
"I LOVE IT WHEN JAI SAID SOMETHING ABOUT BEING
THICKER THAN A SNICKERS." ONE OF MY FAVORITE,
ALL-TIME MOMENTS.
JAI: BECAUSE I AM.
ERIN: NO, IT WASN'T ABOUT YOU.
YOU WEREN'T TALKING ABOUT YOU.
BUT I THINK THAT, THAT LINE IS HILARIOUS.
JAI: NO, I REALLY DO THINK SOMETIMES I'M THICKER
THAN A SNICKER.
ERIN: SEE, AND YOU SAY IT SO FUNNY.
JAI: YEAH, YOU GOTTA SAY, "THICKA THAN A SNICKA."
ERIN:I ALSO--
[LADIES LAUGHING]
ERIN: I ALSO REALLY LOVE YOUR DREAM TO BECOME A LADY
WHO WEARS PANTYHOSE.
JAI: OH, YEAH.
MY THIGHS RUB TOGETHER.
GINGER: THE SWISHING AT CHURCH.
JAI: YES.
ERIN: YEAH, THAT'S A SPECIAL MOMENT.
SO, I CELEBRATE THAT FOR YOU, THAT YOU HAVE ARRIVED.
JAI: WELL, THANK YOU.
I MEAN, I HAVE, BECAUSE THEY SWISH NOW.
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.
YOU KNOW WHAT SOME OF MY FAVORITE EPISODES WERE,
HONESTLY?
ONE WAS--IS NOT SO FUNNY, BUT LIKE IT WAS JUST
ME COMING INTO MY OWN OF BEING ABLE TO SHARE,
LIKE, MY STORY AND BE HONEST ABOUT WHERE I WAS BECAUSE
I REALLY BATTLED THROUGH THAT AND WE TALKED THROUGH
IT AND I'M LIKE, "SHOULD I TELL PEOPLE?"
BUT LIKE, REALLY HAVING THE COURAGE TO TALK ABOUT
DIVORCE AND ALL THE THINGS THAT WERE GOING ON,
WHICH WERE KIND OF EMBARRASSING TO ME,
LIKE THAT WAS BIG FOR ME.
GINGER: IT WAS HARD.
JAI: IT WAS REALLY HARD.
AND SO GRATEFUL THAT I DID IT BECAUSE OF THE SUPPORT
THAT I'VE GOTTEN FROM YOU GUYS, JOYCE, YOU GUYS,
IT'S JUST BEEN AMAZING.
SO, THAT'S ONE THAT WAS BIG FOR ME.
AND THEN, ANOTHER ONE, I ALWAYS LOVE SEEING
JOYCE ON SET BECAUSE WE'RE CRAZY, Y'ALL.
Y'ALL DON'T UNDERSTAND, LIKE-- ERIN: NO, WE'RE NOT.
SHE'S JUST SAYING THAT.
JAI: NO, BUT, JOYCE, EVERY TIME SHE'S JUST LIKE,
"CAN WE GET THIS GOING?"
[LADIES LAUGHING]
JAI: SEEING JOYCE, LIKE, TELL GINGER, LIKE,
"WHY ARE YOU SHARING THAT?" GINGER: "WHY ARE YOU
TALKING ABOUT THAT?
IT'S NOT IMPORTANT." JAI: SHE'S LIKE,
"WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?" HER ALWAYS ASK ME ABOUT MY HAIR.
LIKE, IT'S ALWAYS A THING.
LIKE THERE'S ARE ALWAYS-- GINGER: SHE'S COME
SO FAR WITH US, THOUGH.
JAI: SHE HAS.
GINGER: SHE LOVES US.
AND SHE LOVES BEING ON THE PODCAST WITH US.
JAI: SHE DOES LOVE THAT A BUNCH.
AND I LOVED IT ALSO, WHEN HER AND DAVE WERE ON HERE.
GINGER: THAT WAS VERY FUN.
JAI: SEEING THEM INTERACT IS--IT WAS A TREAT.
THEY'RE IN THEIR OWN LITTLE-- LITTLE WORLD.
IT WAS REALLY FUN.
ERIN: WHAT'S YOURS?
GINGER: I THINK, DURING COVID,
THE PODCAST WAS SUCH A GOOD THING FOR ME.
AND I AM SO GRATEFUL FOR ALL OF YOU WHO SHARED
HOW IMPORTANT THE PODCAST WAS DURING COVID TOO,
WHEN WE WERE ALL ISOLATED AND SEPARATED,
THAT THIS WAS A PLACE THAT WE ALL CAME TOGETHER,
AND WE STUDIED THE WORD TOGETHER,
AND WE WERE REMINDED OF WHAT GOD WAS DOING INSTEAD OF THE BAD
THINGS THAT WE WERE ALL SEEING AND THE CRAZINESS AROUND US.
SO, THE ENCOURAGEMENT FOR PEOPLE THAT THIS
PODCAST HAS BEEN AND FOR ME, IN PARTICULAR, TOO,
THAT--I LOVE THAT.
THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT.
AND SO MANY FUNNY MOMENTS, SO MANY CRAZY,
GOOFY MOMENTS.
ERIN: YOU ALL SHARED MORE HEARTFELT THINGS.
I APPRECIATE THAT.
JAI: WE NEEDED THE BALANCE.
ERIN: YOU'RE WELCOME.
JAI: WE NEEDED TO TALK ABOUT MY THIGHS RUBBING TOGETHER.
ERIN: YOU'RE WELCOME.
A GOOD THING TO CELEBRATE.
I THINK IT IS REALLY SPECIAL TO THINK BACK,
OR TO HEAR PEOPLE ARE FINDING JESUS.
THEY'RE BEING ENCOURAGED TO READ THEIR BIBLES,
THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT.
GINGER: WE LOVE SEEING HOW GOD IS WORKING IN YOUR LIFE TOO,
THE COMMENTS THAT YOU PUT AND THE DIFFERENT THINGS
THAT WE HEAR FROM ALL OF YOU.
WHEN WE GOT TO BE AT THE WOMEN'S CONFERENCE AND ACTUALLY
CONNECT AND HUG AND MEET SO MANY OF THE PEOPLE.
THAT WAS AWESOME.
SHOULD WE CUT THE CAKE FOR THE CELEBRATION?
ERIN: LET'S CUT THE CAKE.
BECAUSE WE LIKE TO CELEBRATE WITH CAKE.
GINGER: YES.
JAI: KEEP MY THIGHS RUBBIN' TOGETHER.
[LADIES LAUGHING]
ERIN: WE'RE JUST HERE TO SERVE.
WE'RE JUST HERE TO MAKE YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE.
JAI: THANK YOU, ERIN.
GINGER: WELL, WHILE SHE'S CUTTING,
WE'RE GONNA START EATING.
BUT WE LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH.
WE'RE SO GRATEFUL FOR YOU.
THANK YOU FOR BEING A PART OF THIS.
AND CONTINUE TO CELEBRATE WHAT GOD IS DOING IN YOUR LIFE.
JAI: YES, WE LOVE YOU.
ERIN: LOVE YOU.
[LADIES LAUGHING]
ERIN: SURPRISE!
