That's the 8 00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:32,240 Speaker 1: two words a husband should know. Absolutely. Can we talk about, say, 9 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:37,520 Speaker 1: being on Indy Cone last night, fan happulo, very harpular. 10 00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:42,440 Speaker 1: You know, we did very little. We really did nothing. 11 00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:45,000 Speaker 1: You want to know something funny. They gave me a 12 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,080 Speaker 1: glass of wine in the beginning, and I was a 13 00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:52,360 Speaker 1: little bit the word yeah whatever. The truth of it is, 14 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:55,760 Speaker 1: wherever you went, they were giving your drinks. You came 15 00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,040 Speaker 1: into the first big room, there was a bar, what 16 00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:00,880 Speaker 1: to drink. You went into a little dressing room, there 17 00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:02,960 Speaker 1: was liquor. I had to bring a walker with me 18 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:08,000 Speaker 1: last night. He likes to get his guests a little 19 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:14,000 Speaker 1: bit for forskit when certain ones don't have a translation. 20 00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:17,240 Speaker 1: This word. I remember my father. You're not drunk, but 21 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 1: you're like a little bit out of it, if you 22 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:21,720 Speaker 1: know what I mean, and that's what he likes to 23 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,160 Speaker 1: do because he feels he gets better stuff out of 24 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,640 Speaker 1: his guests than when they're straight sober. Not us though, 25 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:34,759 Speaker 1: we're like drunk away.

Don't take grandmother's 56 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:37,120 Speaker 1: like that's we call her Grammy. She's funny, one of 57 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 1: the kind, charismatic. Every one of my friends will remember her, 58 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 1: that's for sure. And she's Jed's very caring. He's a 59 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:51,760 Speaker 1: very sensitive kid. She's like an Oprah if Oprah was Jewish. 60 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 1: I think we're both very empathetic with both funny. Neither 61 00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,160 Speaker 1: of us know when to stop, so it's like we 62 00:03:58,200 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 1: getting on a roll and then it's to the point 63 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 1: of the explosion, and then you gotta rein it back in. 64 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 1: I guess we can be loud, Grammy, we're a little bit, 65 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 1: you know much. Jed's a little way out. Sometimes you 66 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 1: never know what's to expect from him. She's definitely a performer. 67 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 1: That's where it has to come from. The entire family 68 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 1: were all extroverted, and it's all derivative of her. It 69 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:28,279 Speaker 1: has to be. That's very nice. Who is Ava? The 70 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 1: question that's defined my life. Ava is my older sister. 71 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:36,280 Speaker 1: Love her. She's a great, big sister. I would say 72 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 1: she's probably a little more work driven and I'm smarter. 73 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 1: Wouldn't you agree with that, Grammy? Yes, you're also very humble. Right, 74 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 1: She's always been Grammy's proverbial favorite. Stop saying that, Jed, 75 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 1: that's unnecessary. It's not unnecessary. If you said she brings 76 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 1: me the most joy in life. She started the episode 77 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 1: by saying, Avo is the person that brings me most 78 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 1: joy in life. Right, Never that quote, Grammy, Yes, yeah, 79 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:05,160 Speaker 1: that was nice. That doesn't the gate the fact how 80 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 1: much I love you. I know, I know the cousins 81 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,560 Speaker 1: have a group chat and we already have acknowledged that 82 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,920 Speaker 1: Eva was the favorite, but that really, you know, you 83 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 1: really leaned into it. I feel like I'm like Monica 84 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 1: and Friends when it comes to Grammy. But it's all good. 85 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 1: But you know what they took out by mistake is 86 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,599 Speaker 1: when I did Avis, I was saying how you really 87 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,800 Speaker 1: were my favorite, and they didn't get into Yeah, I'm 88 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 1: sure they took that out. Yeah, I meant to tell 89 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,919 Speaker 1: you that just to clarify in this moment, who's your 90 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:36,520 Speaker 1: favorite grandchild? Well, in one Eva was, but now it's two, 91 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:41,280 Speaker 1: so you wore got it? And why why am I 92 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,840 Speaker 1: the favorite grandchild? Now? What have I done? It? Pay 93 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 1: a lot of attention to me. You care about me, 94 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:51,039 Speaker 1: how I feel. You're very empathetic to my health issues. 95 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,359 Speaker 1: And I'm the most successful and you called me the 96 00:05:54,440 --> 00:06:02,800 Speaker 1: most Yeah. Oh I love him. I just love him. 97 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:06,719 Speaker 1: I'm telling you the minute it opens, this big personality. 98 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 1: They both have a sense of human and I wonder 99 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,719 Speaker 1: who's going to be her favorite in twenty three? What 100 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:15,359 Speaker 1: do you think It reminds me when I say Rachel 101 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 1: is my favorite granddaughter? But she's the only granddaughter, so 102 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,719 Speaker 1: that's not a problem. But I have twin grandsons. One 103 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 1: calls me once in a while and one is just 104 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,200 Speaker 1: like Jent. He calls me every week. And if they 105 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 1: keep calling, they become the favorite. In Finean's Rainbow, there's 106 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 1: a song when I'm not near the boy I love, 107 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,720 Speaker 1: I love the boy I'm near, And that's how I 108 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 1: feel about my grandchildren. The one nuts with me is 109 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:42,800 Speaker 1: my favorite at the moment, and that's true. But he's 110 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:46,280 Speaker 1: not insulted. He knows his grammy loves him, but he's 111 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 1: always trying to put her on the spot, and she's 112 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 1: got to figure out a way to get out of it. 113 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,599 Speaker 1: It's like I kept a mass relationship. He says one 114 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,240 Speaker 1: thing and she kind of comes back another way. It's 115 00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 1: very cute. What we're hearing, though, is this reparte that 116 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,520 Speaker 1: they have, that they're both on the same way. They 117 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:08,360 Speaker 1: get each other. Absolutely. Okay, Rita, the producers have handed 118 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:12,680 Speaker 1: me the park titles, and here's the first one, Part one. 119 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 1: W w E. I wonder what that could I I 120 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 1: couldn't imagine w w E. World War Women's where, women's 121 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 1: where early I don't know. I can't imagine. All right, 122 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,119 Speaker 1: I think we're gonna have to listen to it because 123 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 1: we're getting silly. What about Beauty School Dropout, No graduation, 124 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 1: Beauty School Dropout. That movie Greece is on every other week. 125 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 1: I must have seen the Ted Times in Florida this winter. Wow. 126 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 1: Jed's had many interests in his life. He loved w 127 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 1: w E. I think we went to Zack Shuman's house 128 00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:02,000 Speaker 1: Grammy and he had Power Rangers, which I loved Power Rangers, 129 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 1: and then pro wrestling figures. Oh yes, I think I 130 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 1: took come home. We watched YouTube videos with the wrestlers. 131 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 1: I was really drawn to the sort of dramatization of it. 132 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,760 Speaker 1: It's kind of like drag queens in our way. Wrestlers, 133 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 1: you know, they're just all over the place. And I 134 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 1: was really obsessed. I would have hundreds of action figures, 135 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 1: you know. I mean, I was really into it. So 136 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 1: we went to w w E and the dregs of 137 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,880 Speaker 1: society are there.

To 193 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:48,600 Speaker 1: the pain in the s Meryl and Grammy fight like 194 00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:51,640 Speaker 1: cats and dogs. I mean, it's really something else where, 195 00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:53,960 Speaker 1: this Jewish family who goes so intense at it. So 196 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,040 Speaker 1: one moment they'll be going out at left and right, 197 00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 1: and the next moment they'll be talking the most normal 198 00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:01,199 Speaker 1: conversation you've ever seen in your entire life. I mean, 199 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:04,320 Speaker 1: it's really some dynamic. It's who we are, I guess 200 00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:07,040 Speaker 1: as a family, you know, you never know what you 201 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:11,679 Speaker 1: gotta get with jed, but he was younger. He really did. 202 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,000 Speaker 1: He was very complex. I really did know which way 203 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:16,960 Speaker 1: he was going to churn, and he weren't as close 204 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:20,000 Speaker 1: back then, you know, it was difficult. What time I 205 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 1: took him to videat your golf and I picked him 206 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:26,480 Speaker 1: up at his father's house and he said to me, 207 00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:28,880 Speaker 1: I'm not going to talk to you the whole time 208 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,720 Speaker 1: in the car. I said, I'm not going to talk 209 00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:33,400 Speaker 1: to you the whole time in the car. That's right, 210 00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:37,160 Speaker 1: that's a little dickie. Continue, well, that's true. And we 211 00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:40,080 Speaker 1: played Beniche golf and then I just didn't know what 212 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,600 Speaker 1: to do to play Cadam, so I said, you want 213 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:44,920 Speaker 1: to go to the special ice cream store. So he 214 00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,199 Speaker 1: went to the ice cream store and he he loved 215 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:49,640 Speaker 1: whatever he had bought, and he said to me, now, 216 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:51,000 Speaker 1: I'm not going to talk to you the rest of 217 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:57,400 Speaker 1: the way home, so you know, no, I mean no. 218 00:12:57,559 --> 00:12:59,520 Speaker 1: I remember the times where it's like when I was 219 00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:01,880 Speaker 1: bad at Amy because she loves to talk, that's the thing. 220 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,880 Speaker 1: And only was she talked. She would ask about everything 221 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 1: and anything. I'd be like, I stepped out of the 222 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 1: house this morning. She'd be like, on what foot I 223 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:13,320 Speaker 1: feel bad. I get that from her now too. And 224 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,240 Speaker 1: someone's telling me a story at each another time, what 225 00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:18,080 Speaker 1: they were eating, how they were feeling. Sometimes it's a 226 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:21,560 Speaker 1: little much, but I mean she's definitely cares, you know, 227 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:23,600 Speaker 1: But I don't know why I would retaliate it. Goods 228 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 1: to you. That was your personality. Sometimes it was yes 229 00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:28,360 Speaker 1: and sometimes it was no. You never know what you 230 00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:32,679 Speaker 1: got when you whipped it. One day they had grandparents 231 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 1: day in the nurse three school. He was delicious that 232 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:40,840 Speaker 1: whole time, and you made pictures and we left. We 233 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:43,680 Speaker 1: were taking him home and he just would not cross 234 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:49,000 Speaker 1: the street. It's like he weighed like three hundred pounds. 235 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,240 Speaker 1: He's stuck so far up to the ground. He just 236 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:54,880 Speaker 1: we could move them. Oh my god, it was just impossible. 237 00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:58,360 Speaker 1: He just stood for why. Do you know why? No, 238 00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:00,600 Speaker 1: I don't know why. Till this day, you know why. 239 00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:02,599 Speaker 1: I was probably in my own world. I think it 240 00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:04,480 Speaker 1: all probably just caught up with me in that moment. 241 00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:06,880 Speaker 1: I think I probably thought you were abducting Cecy would 242 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:09,840 Speaker 1: take me everywhere. No, we spent the warting with you. 243 00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:11,680 Speaker 1: We had a lovely time. It's like, know what I 244 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:15,720 Speaker 1: was painting? He asked, I think we all know that. 245 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 1: But I think my goal growing up was just because 246 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:22,000 Speaker 1: Eva would get all the attention always, she was always 247 00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:27,160 Speaker 1: number one. I think I had to be remembered for something. Well, 248 00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:36,520 Speaker 1: that's very vivid. Yeah, you certainly were remembered. That is 249 00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:40,280 Speaker 1: so funny. He accomplished what he wanted to accomplish. He 250 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 1: wanted to set his own mark. And she never forgot 251 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:46,600 Speaker 1: that incident, never, and that was exactly what he wanted. 252 00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,800 Speaker 1: You know, little boys are different than the different thing girls. Yeah, 253 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 1: you can't ask them a lot of questions. Every time 254 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 1: I asked my grandson's when they do something and they 255 00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:58,800 Speaker 1: go someplace, I wasn't good. That's it, right, one word, 256 00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,640 Speaker 1: And from the girls she get chapter and verse. Yeah, 257 00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:04,000 Speaker 1: you get what they were wearing, who looked nice, who 258 00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:07,640 Speaker 1: didn't look nice? Late? Right? And and a boy, did 259 00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:11,160 Speaker 1: you have a good time? Yeah? Yeah, But this child 260 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:15,240 Speaker 1: knew how to make his mark. He just stood literally 261 00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:18,640 Speaker 1: stood his ground. And that's what killed Sue. When he 262 00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:22,240 Speaker 1: says I'm not talking because she's a talker. That must 263 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,720 Speaker 1: kill her if anything, just talk to me. But what 264 00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:29,200 Speaker 1: you also are hearing is how close they were really 265 00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:31,840 Speaker 1: that she went to this and she went to that. 266 00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:35,600 Speaker 1: She tried, she really tried. He gets a kick out 267 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,240 Speaker 1: of all the things. He doesn't even remember the things 268 00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:41,440 Speaker 1: he did. Know. I think we tend to remember things 269 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:46,080 Speaker 1: more than, oh, absolutely, than they do absolutely. I remember 270 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:49,520 Speaker 1: when my grandson went to a Quaker nursery school and 271 00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:53,520 Speaker 1: a lady came around with cookies, and he never lifted 272 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:56,120 Speaker 1: his head, and the woman kept on saying, Logan, would 273 00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 1: you like a cookie? And finally he looked up. He 274 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:03,040 Speaker 1: must have been three, and he says, no, thank you. 275 00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:06,640 Speaker 1: I'll wait for the bagels to come around. That tell 276 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:13,000 Speaker 1: me from a Jewish kid in quite a nursery school. Okay, rita, 277 00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:16,520 Speaker 1: time for the next part.

She gave me the lesson of if someone 332 00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:18,520 Speaker 1: really cares about you, and that's what really matters the most, 333 00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:20,760 Speaker 1: and showing that they care about you. But I told 334 00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:21,800 Speaker 1: her at one point, I was like, I don't know 335 00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:23,480 Speaker 1: if I trust him, and she goes, well, that's a 336 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:26,480 Speaker 1: big thing. You have to trust someone, that's the biggest thing. 337 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:29,520 Speaker 1: And if you don't trust someone, then you have nothing. 338 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:32,959 Speaker 1: Remember saying that, Grammy, absolutely, But what would be your 339 00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:37,800 Speaker 1: ideal man for me? George Clooney? Somebody that had a 340 00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:42,520 Speaker 1: very nice, rich father. I agree with that. That was single. 341 00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:46,080 Speaker 1: Oh who's also single? Do I date people who are 342 00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:50,800 Speaker 1: not single? My home wrecker? The father is singing, Oh, 343 00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:53,479 Speaker 1: then the father. So I could take two at once, right, 344 00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:57,080 Speaker 1: live in life to the fullest. That's a great No 345 00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:01,360 Speaker 1: the father for me? Oh, I thought you were telling 346 00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:03,800 Speaker 1: me to take advantage of all of life's opportunities. I mean, 347 00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:05,880 Speaker 1: that's something you would do. No, no, no, no, no, 348 00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:07,520 Speaker 1: that's something you would do. You would date the father 349 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:11,520 Speaker 1: and the son. I think that's a very supposter move please, no, no, 350 00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:14,480 Speaker 1: don't fool yourself here, don't. Let's not get too posh. 351 00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:16,680 Speaker 1: You would do it if you had the opportunity. I 352 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:19,120 Speaker 1: can't even walk. You can do things other than walk. 353 00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:31,800 Speaker 1: Oh my god, that conversation is priceless. First, feeding this 354 00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:38,399 Speaker 1: poor woman these cannabis, COMMI ball till she was looped. Listen, 355 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,960 Speaker 1: you've got a bad back, you try anything. And then 356 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:46,440 Speaker 1: she's suggesting a grandson should find a nice young man 357 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:49,800 Speaker 1: with a rich father. So I'm thinking, yeah, everybody should 358 00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:53,840 Speaker 1: marry somebody has a rich father. No, not fun. I 359 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:59,560 Speaker 1: think that this whole segment tells the story of their closeness, 360 00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:03,440 Speaker 1: of their humor being so into each other. I just 361 00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:06,560 Speaker 1: think that this is wonderful. She's a riot and he 362 00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:10,000 Speaker 1: plays right into it. I'm telling you that would be 363 00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:14,640 Speaker 1: the funniest sitcom on TV. You can imagine every once 364 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:16,399 Speaker 1: in a while, don't you feel like you'd like some 365 00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:20,639 Speaker 1: of those gutty bass riata. Oh I don't know. I'm fine. 366 00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:23,359 Speaker 1: I'd sleep well. If I have a pain, I'd taken 367 00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:26,639 Speaker 1: a leave. It's cheaper than a gunny bear. You know, reader, 368 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:30,679 Speaker 1: that's because you're from one generation before me. That's true. 369 00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:33,000 Speaker 1: And you know what's so funny, And he didn't want 370 00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:35,960 Speaker 1: to hear the answer. He wanted to know if his 371 00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:38,880 Speaker 1: grandmother got married as a virgin. You know, my kids, 372 00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:41,359 Speaker 1: I'd tell right out sure, And I said, you know, 373 00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 1: I was a virgin, and you were a virgin only 374 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:47,000 Speaker 1: because you didn't have abortions in those days. And if 375 00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:49,520 Speaker 1: you got pregnant, you really had a problem. You know, 376 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:53,879 Speaker 1: next subject, next subject. But you're another decade after me, 377 00:21:54,000 --> 00:22:01,679 Speaker 1: So moving on, we're not going to ask you. Okay, 378 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:04,800 Speaker 1: that's that time again. What time? What time are you 379 00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:08,320 Speaker 1: talking about? Tea time? Tea time? You know, when we 380 00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:11,680 Speaker 1: have our break and we have our tea time. It's 381 00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:14,720 Speaker 1: nothing like tea time in London. No, there really isn't. 382 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:18,040 Speaker 1: You can go in the city. It's not like London. Now.

Back to work all and so we can 387 00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:42,040 Speaker 1: afford another trip. You know what we do. Maybe we 388 00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:45,199 Speaker 1: should try to meditate. And that's when I do a 389 00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:50,360 Speaker 1: whole day.

Every 437 00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:36,480 Speaker 1: time a person plays a prank, it backfires. You have 438 00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:39,960 Speaker 1: to be careful. My sister I once played a prank 439 00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:42,920 Speaker 1: on my parents. They lived near us, and they had 440 00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:45,639 Speaker 1: built this beautiful new home. We had a key to 441 00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:49,240 Speaker 1: my parents has and my sister gets an idea to 442 00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:53,920 Speaker 1: make a figure in the bed with pillows and choose 443 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,160 Speaker 1: at the end of the bed. And we left and 444 00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:59,240 Speaker 1: we were laughing, what a funny thing. They'll come on. Well, 445 00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:01,720 Speaker 1: my parents came home in the middle of the night 446 00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:05,480 Speaker 1: and my father saw this figure in the bed and 447 00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:08,760 Speaker 1: my mother was screaming, what did you stupid girls do? 448 00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:11,560 Speaker 1: Your father stow the body and the bed. He nearly 449 00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:14,760 Speaker 1: had a heart attack, just like Sue. Couldn't that's a 450 00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:17,240 Speaker 1: heart attack. When she heard that he was in jail. 451 00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:20,240 Speaker 1: You have to be careful with pranks and you know 452 00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:25,040 Speaker 1: who you're playing the mind, especially with elderly people. That's right, absolutely, 453 00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:27,840 Speaker 1: Oh but that's soon. She goes for the ride all 454 00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:31,000 Speaker 1: the way. Yes, she does. But you know, in a moment, 455 00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:34,119 Speaker 1: you're not thinking, Wow, he's playing a prank. You're thinking 456 00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:37,160 Speaker 1: to yourself, with my checkbook, I have to bail him out. 457 00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:39,800 Speaker 1: You know, if it was me, I would eat a 458 00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:46,600 Speaker 1: whole gallon of ice cream. She had a whole salami instead. Okay, Riata, okay, 459 00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:50,880 Speaker 1: let's hear it, Ellen, pot five, Tell me about my brists. 460 00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,800 Speaker 1: Tell me about my brisk. Two people that don't know 461 00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:01,800 Speaker 1: what a briss is. Brisk is really a circumcision ceremony, 462 00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:05,119 Speaker 1: circumcision for a boy. In Jewish religion, they do it, 463 00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:08,920 Speaker 1: but it's more like a religious ceremony. I can't imagine 464 00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:11,119 Speaker 1: what Sue was going to tell about the well that 465 00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:14,040 Speaker 1: let's cut to the chick, Cut to the cut, cut 466 00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:23,879 Speaker 1: to the breast. Oh that's very glever, Ellen. Oh god, okay, 467 00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:25,879 Speaker 1: you're the one who planned my breast. What do you 468 00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:28,480 Speaker 1: mean I planned the brisk? I planned the brisk. Tell 469 00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:31,360 Speaker 1: me about my breast. Jed had a huge would never 470 00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:34,280 Speaker 1: say I would never I would say I would never 471 00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:36,520 Speaker 1: say to my grandma, tell me about my breast. That 472 00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:38,840 Speaker 1: would never be a sentence I would ever say to her. 473 00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:42,440 Speaker 1: I just want to let you know that, right. But 474 00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:44,600 Speaker 1: she's got to cut that out. She's not putting that in. 475 00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:48,480 Speaker 1: That gets cut out anyway. She tell me about my 476 00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:53,800 Speaker 1: breast was okay. You were the fourth grandchild, and my 477 00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:57,720 Speaker 1: husband this was his only grandson, and he was thrilled 478 00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:00,560 Speaker 1: having a little boy. And he did it to make 479 00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:04,359 Speaker 1: this a real hooplah. So we had the brists and 480 00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:08,720 Speaker 1: we had balloons. So they served nice food the Boyal Cave. 481 00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:09,960 Speaker 1: He did what he had to do it, and he 482 00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:12,520 Speaker 1: cried a little bit. They took it back home. I 483 00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:15,200 Speaker 1: can't believe I had had that. You know, your mother 484 00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:17,800 Speaker 1: had all the people that she does business with, it 485 00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:21,080 Speaker 1: all have friends. You know your mother had invited you 486 00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:25,040 Speaker 1: Jackman to the brists at the cave. So my mom 487 00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:28,399 Speaker 1: is a big shot producer. Anyways, you know, it's the 488 00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:31,479 Speaker 1: only phone number I've ever stole from mom's phone was Jackman. 489 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,120 Speaker 1: Hugh Jackman.

Right? Of course I was there. You 618 00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:05,160 Speaker 1: set the scene. We used to have performances on the holidays. 619 00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:09,400 Speaker 1: Each one would perform, each grandchild. We always had fun together. 620 00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:13,719 Speaker 1: I in ninth grade was doing the musical Chicago for 621 00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:17,319 Speaker 1: my theater group. I was playing Miss Mary Sunshine, which 622 00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:22,840 Speaker 1: is the drag queen, and Poppy we all knew he 623 00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:25,440 Speaker 1: was sick. We all know he probably didn't have much 624 00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:29,320 Speaker 1: time left. So they said, Jed, do it for Poppy 625 00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:31,000 Speaker 1: because he can't be at the show. And I'm like, oh, 626 00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:34,279 Speaker 1: knowing the show of Chicago, what the dance is like, 627 00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:37,320 Speaker 1: I'm not really looking to perform it for my grandfather 628 00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:40,279 Speaker 1: And like, no, no, no, Jed, you have to do it. 629 00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:42,320 Speaker 1: And I'm like, I really don't know if this is 630 00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:44,880 Speaker 1: the best idea. Okay, And here I am, for the 631 00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:49,800 Speaker 1: entire family performing this number. I just start grinding and 632 00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:54,359 Speaker 1: every single direction, my hips are swaying, my crotches out. 633 00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:56,839 Speaker 1: It's like a whole thing for my grandfather and all 634 00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:58,719 Speaker 1: I because this is the most embarrassing thing I've ever 635 00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:03,760 Speaker 1: done in my entire life, the tops, all else, oh god, Okay. 636 00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:07,800 Speaker 1: And then when it was done, he though, he went fabulous. 637 00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:15,759 Speaker 1: Of course that was great. He loved sports. I mean 638 00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:18,879 Speaker 1: that's what he was doing, was watching this baseball game. 639 00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:22,280 Speaker 1: Baseball off football, depended on the season. But I remember 640 00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:23,719 Speaker 1: it when where he told me he had a gay 641 00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:26,080 Speaker 1: football coach, and that was just like he didn't have 642 00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:29,680 Speaker 1: to say that. I mean, that was really something else. 643 00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:31,200 Speaker 1: I don't know if that was before or after I 644 00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:34,640 Speaker 1: had come out, but he cared so much, and his 645 00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:38,560 Speaker 1: caring was visible in the most deep way, and he 646 00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:43,640 Speaker 1: was so supportive of my mom. It's fair to say 647 00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:46,320 Speaker 1: that she was, by far in the entire family, closest 648 00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:49,440 Speaker 1: to my grandfather. I remember it so distinctively. I was 649 00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:52,279 Speaker 1: in my room. She never cries, I mean, she really 650 00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:55,160 Speaker 1: doesn't cry, and she came in and she was crying 651 00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:59,719 Speaker 1: and she said, Poppy died. I never experienced death that 652 00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:03,640 Speaker 1: stening before, and I think me and Ava really felt 653 00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:07,160 Speaker 1: strongly that in order for our mother to also get 654 00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:09,480 Speaker 1: through it, it was important that we show our gratitude 655 00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:12,719 Speaker 1: for the man he was. I didn't know anything about 656 00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:15,279 Speaker 1: what they were writing, so the first time I ever 657 00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:17,680 Speaker 1: heard it was at the funeral. But when I go 658 00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:20,640 Speaker 1: to Florida in the winter, I take our eulogies with me, 659 00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:24,879 Speaker 1: So Grahamy's going to read from the eulogy I wrote 660 00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:30,960 Speaker 1: for Poppy. I've been avoiding writing this. It's really been 661 00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:35,279 Speaker 1: hard thinking about Poppy and not getting emotional. He was 662 00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:39,759 Speaker 1: such an important person in all of our lives. Most 663 00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:43,759 Speaker 1: people in our family have huge personalities and loved being 664 00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:47,719 Speaker 1: in the spotlight. But what separated Poppy from the rest 665 00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:50,120 Speaker 1: of us was that he wasn't like that at all. 666 00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:54,000 Speaker 1: He balanced out all the craziness in our family and 667 00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:58,279 Speaker 1: was the only sane voice at times. He's more of 668 00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:01,600 Speaker 1: a Meths than a day Am Yankees kind of guy. 669 00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:05,200 Speaker 1: But it didn't matter that Poppy didn't have an extensive 670 00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:09,080 Speaker 1: knowledge of musical theater. He said to me, you're a star. 671 00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:12,960 Speaker 1: He believed in me. He believed in all of us 672 00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:15,880 Speaker 1: because he had a heart of gold and loved seeing 673 00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:20,040 Speaker 1: others succeed. When I think of Poppy, that's the way 674 00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:23,680 Speaker 1: I will think about him. Poppy, you are the reason 675 00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:28,080 Speaker 1: that I will always feel free to be unapologetically me. 676 00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:36,520 Speaker 1: I love you so much, thank you. It wore my heart. 677 00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:39,360 Speaker 1: You know, Jed was very difficult to relate to in 678 00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:42,920 Speaker 1: those early years. He really was. And then oh yes, 679 00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:46,760 Speaker 1: he matured beautifully. He really did. He really is concerned 680 00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:49,720 Speaker 1: with the next guy. He's interesting and interested in everything 681 00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:53,160 Speaker 1: in life, it seems lately. So I'm very proud of him. 682 00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:58,080 Speaker 1: Thank you, Grammys. The matriarch of this family, I don't 683 00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:00,920 Speaker 1: know what's going to happen when one day, God, she's 684 00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:04,280 Speaker 1: not here anymore, because she really keeps everything in place, 685 00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:07,680 Speaker 1: even from day one, even though I was tough deal 686 00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:09,520 Speaker 1: with because for so long I was such a pain 687 00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:11,719 Speaker 1: in the ass. We always have the connection and I 688 00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:13,960 Speaker 1: think just kind of get each other. He let me 689 00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:17,400 Speaker 1: come into his life a little bit, and I enjoy 690 00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:20,680 Speaker 1: being there. I think I trust her more so now. 691 00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:23,320 Speaker 1: That thing makes me more happy than to see this 692 00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:30,759 Speaker 1: relationship evolving to what it is now. What has Jed 693 00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:34,040 Speaker 1: taught me? You feel like you've learned from me? Really? Yeah, 694 00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:36,120 Speaker 1: I think I learned how to look into a mirror. Well, 695 00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:42,120 Speaker 1: He's taught me that life is joyous, and he taught 696 00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:44,200 Speaker 1: me how to laugh more, and he had taught me 697 00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:48,719 Speaker 1: how to have good relationship. He always looks deeper into things. 698 00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:51,640 Speaker 1: And I'm just very proud of Jed and I'm very 699 00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:55,480 Speaker 1: proud to call him my grandson. That's very nice. Can 700 00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:58,120 Speaker 1: I sidebar? Is that? Okay? If I sidebar right now? Sure? 701 00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:01,560 Speaker 1: Grammy drove me to I first ever pride. It was 702 00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:04,960 Speaker 1: in June, this past June. I mean that's really something else. 703 00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:07,560 Speaker 1: Do you remember that? Where was it at something? I 704 00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:09,560 Speaker 1: show up to you on a jacket in my underwear? 705 00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:12,000 Speaker 1: Oh yes, and then you're having to drive me to 706 00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:13,920 Speaker 1: my pride. I mean it was really something else. I 707 00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:16,440 Speaker 1: always find myself having a wonderful time with you, Jid, 708 00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:19,680 Speaker 1: I really do. When am I going to see you again? 709 00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:22,359 Speaker 1: A sap? I really am excited for the next time 710 00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:26,800 Speaker 1: we see each other. We'll meet again, don't know where, 711 00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:31,879 Speaker 1: I don't know when, but we'll meet again some sunny day. 712 00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:39,839 Speaker 1: You killed it. She really is something else, doesn't she. Well. 713 00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:42,480 Speaker 1: I think that's a good ending. Thank you so much 714 00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:45,560 Speaker 1: for this wonderful, wonderful interview. It really meant alone. It 715 00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:53,960 Speaker 1: meant more to be What a way to end this series? 716 00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:58,920 Speaker 1: Unconditional love oh my god. If nothing else, if they 717 00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:03,759 Speaker 1: listened to this, just this one episode of Call Your Grandmother, 718 00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:09,279 Speaker 1: people will see what the relationship between a grandchild and 719 00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:15,080 Speaker 1: a grandparent could be. It's something beyond special. This has 720 00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:18,520 Speaker 1: a magical quality to it. It really does. I can't 721 00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:21,080 Speaker 1: stop wiping away the tears and blowing my nose. I 722 00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:24,160 Speaker 1: don't even have a kleenex. And what he thinks of 723 00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:28,960 Speaker 1: his grandfather will really reflect in his entire life and 724 00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:32,520 Speaker 1: has made him the way he is. Yeah, but although 725 00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:35,279 Speaker 1: she made a funny remark, so I told me had 726 00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:38,680 Speaker 1: a look in the mirror, and he laughed. Already likes 727 00:43:38,719 --> 00:43:41,480 Speaker 1: to look at himself. But it's funny how she picked 728 00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:44,719 Speaker 1: that up. Look, he's only twenty years old. He's still 729 00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:47,360 Speaker 1: a young man, and so he was a difficult child. 730 00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:50,080 Speaker 1: Maybe he there were things about him he knew where 731 00:43:50,560 --> 00:43:52,959 Speaker 1: you know, we're hard too, but it took a while 732 00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:54,680 Speaker 1: to get to where he is. But he's at a 733 00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:57,680 Speaker 1: good place and she's enjoying him as he is now, 734 00:43:57,840 --> 00:44:02,000 Speaker 1: and it just encapsulates the word love. Love. It was 735 00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:05,359 Speaker 1: just a lovely way to end the series. Unfortunately it's ending, 736 00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:09,839 Speaker 1: but this was perfect. Absolutely, Look, they'll all be said 737 00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:13,160 Speaker 1: when we go, when the grandparents go. But you know, 738 00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:16,919 Speaker 1: when we leave, and we all do leave, the good 739 00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:20,439 Speaker 1: memories and the things you did together, that's what they'll 740 00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:25,480 Speaker 1: have to hold on to. Kind thoughts. Absolutely, absolutely forget 741 00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:28,920 Speaker 1: money or anything like that. That doesn't mean anything. That's nothing, 742 00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:31,920 Speaker 1: but the little intricate things of life. That's what we 743 00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:35,600 Speaker 1: leave for them. Absolutely, they'll all get on when we're 744 00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:40,080 Speaker 1: not here. I'm never dying, reader, I am.
