WEBVTT - Sue + Jed

0:00:02.000 --> 0:00:06.120
<v Speaker 1>Peter's grandmother once said to me, when you're dealing with

0:00:06.240 --> 0:00:10.000
<v Speaker 1>your children and you're dealing with your husband, you're yes

0:00:10.160 --> 0:00:13.400
<v Speaker 1>them to death, and you're about your police. And I

0:00:13.520 --> 0:00:16.840
<v Speaker 1>never forgot that that's a good one. He has him

0:00:16.880 --> 0:00:20.319
<v Speaker 1>to death. And and what do you do? Well? You

0:00:20.360 --> 0:00:23.320
<v Speaker 1>know that the say what makes a good marriage? Two words,

0:00:23.680 --> 0:00:26.720
<v Speaker 1>Yes dear. He has to know yes, dear. That's the

0:00:26.800 --> 0:00:32.240
<v Speaker 1>two words a husband should know. Absolutely. Can we talk about, say,

0:00:32.280 --> 0:00:37.520
<v Speaker 1>being on Indy Cone last night, fan happulo, very harpular.

0:00:39.600 --> 0:00:42.440
<v Speaker 1>You know, we did very little. We really did nothing.

0:00:42.880 --> 0:00:45.000
<v Speaker 1>You want to know something funny. They gave me a

0:00:45.000 --> 0:00:47.080
<v Speaker 1>glass of wine in the beginning, and I was a

0:00:47.120 --> 0:00:52.360
<v Speaker 1>little bit the word yeah whatever. The truth of it is,

0:00:52.800 --> 0:00:55.760
<v Speaker 1>wherever you went, they were giving your drinks. You came

0:00:55.800 --> 0:00:58.040
<v Speaker 1>into the first big room, there was a bar, what

0:00:58.200 --> 0:01:00.880
<v Speaker 1>to drink. You went into a little dressing room, there

0:01:00.960 --> 0:01:02.960
<v Speaker 1>was liquor. I had to bring a walker with me

0:01:03.120 --> 0:01:08.000
<v Speaker 1>last night. He likes to get his guests a little

0:01:08.000 --> 0:01:14.000
<v Speaker 1>bit for forskit when certain ones don't have a translation.

0:01:14.400 --> 0:01:17.240
<v Speaker 1>This word. I remember my father. You're not drunk, but

0:01:17.360 --> 0:01:19.160
<v Speaker 1>you're like a little bit out of it, if you

0:01:19.240 --> 0:01:21.720
<v Speaker 1>know what I mean, and that's what he likes to

0:01:21.720 --> 0:01:24.160
<v Speaker 1>do because he feels he gets better stuff out of

0:01:24.200 --> 0:01:27.640
<v Speaker 1>his guests than when they're straight sober. Not us though,

0:01:27.800 --> 0:01:34.759
<v Speaker 1>we're like drunk away. But you know what, so many

0:01:34.800 --> 0:01:37.480
<v Speaker 1>people picked up on that he put a straw in

0:01:37.520 --> 0:01:41.760
<v Speaker 1>all wine, just sipping away. There was very little that

0:01:41.959 --> 0:01:45.759
<v Speaker 1>we did other than apployed Melissa McCarthy. But then he

0:01:45.920 --> 0:01:49.240
<v Speaker 1>mentioned Barbra streisand at about three to and I went

0:01:49.280 --> 0:01:52.360
<v Speaker 1>to the same high school as Barbara streisand Rasmus while

0:01:52.440 --> 0:01:55.200
<v Speaker 1>high school she graduated from. So did we I'm on

0:01:55.320 --> 0:01:57.800
<v Speaker 1>the show embtus to her radio birthday party. What do

0:01:57.840 --> 0:02:00.360
<v Speaker 1>you think? Sure? And Neil Diamond will pick us up

0:02:00.400 --> 0:02:08.160
<v Speaker 1>in his car, right right, Rita Ellen, who are we

0:02:08.160 --> 0:02:11.920
<v Speaker 1>going to hear today? Today? We're gonna hear from Sue Poster.

0:02:12.520 --> 0:02:16.040
<v Speaker 1>You remember who Sue was? Of course? I remember. I

0:02:16.160 --> 0:02:20.000
<v Speaker 1>loved that episode. She was actually the grandmother who inspired

0:02:20.040 --> 0:02:24.359
<v Speaker 1>the whole podcast. Her daughter Meryl Poster made the show.

0:02:24.840 --> 0:02:28.639
<v Speaker 1>Sue and her granddaughter Eva had a great episode. Let's listen.

0:02:29.680 --> 0:02:33.640
<v Speaker 1>She is really funny. Everything she says is like there's

0:02:33.639 --> 0:02:36.840
<v Speaker 1>always a joke. She's very musical. She's been a very

0:02:37.040 --> 0:02:40.079
<v Speaker 1>very important part of my life. She's the best, and

0:02:40.160 --> 0:02:45.160
<v Speaker 1>nobody has given me the joy in my life that

0:02:45.320 --> 0:02:49.440
<v Speaker 1>Ava has given me. Oh that was fabulous. I loved

0:02:49.480 --> 0:02:52.359
<v Speaker 1>that one. And today she's going to be interviewed by

0:02:52.360 --> 0:02:56.320
<v Speaker 1>her grandson terrific. I can't wait to hear it. Absolutely,

0:02:56.560 --> 0:02:59.160
<v Speaker 1>let's listen. They should be a good pair. Sue and

0:02:59.280 --> 0:03:06.040
<v Speaker 1>Jed expand frame Okay, perfect better? Oh handsome? Why do

0:03:06.080 --> 0:03:08.000
<v Speaker 1>you look like Joan? Look a little bit like Joan

0:03:08.000 --> 0:03:12.959
<v Speaker 1>Crawford right now, Joan Crawford, it looks very handsome. It's

0:03:13.000 --> 0:03:15.440
<v Speaker 1>the hair and the shape face. But you lost a

0:03:15.480 --> 0:03:18.880
<v Speaker 1>lot of weight, Jed, I lost sixty five pounds. Oh

0:03:18.919 --> 0:03:22.600
<v Speaker 1>my god, that's another little person. I guess how Grammy.

0:03:22.680 --> 0:03:26.160
<v Speaker 1>Let's give him a show. There's dope is just like show.

0:03:29.040 --> 0:03:33.600
<v Speaker 1>So this is soup poster my grandmother. Don't take grandmother's

0:03:33.680 --> 0:03:37.120
<v Speaker 1>like that's we call her Grammy. She's funny, one of

0:03:37.160 --> 0:03:41.160
<v Speaker 1>the kind, charismatic. Every one of my friends will remember her,

0:03:41.520 --> 0:03:46.280
<v Speaker 1>that's for sure. And she's Jed's very caring. He's a

0:03:46.360 --> 0:03:51.760
<v Speaker 1>very sensitive kid. She's like an Oprah if Oprah was Jewish.

0:03:52.000 --> 0:03:56.440
<v Speaker 1>I think we're both very empathetic with both funny. Neither

0:03:56.440 --> 0:03:58.160
<v Speaker 1>of us know when to stop, so it's like we

0:03:58.200 --> 0:03:59.800
<v Speaker 1>getting on a roll and then it's to the point

0:03:59.800 --> 0:04:01.920
<v Speaker 1>of the explosion, and then you gotta rein it back in.

0:04:02.240 --> 0:04:04.440
<v Speaker 1>I guess we can be loud, Grammy, we're a little bit,

0:04:04.640 --> 0:04:08.480
<v Speaker 1>you know much. Jed's a little way out. Sometimes you

0:04:08.600 --> 0:04:12.240
<v Speaker 1>never know what's to expect from him. She's definitely a performer.

0:04:12.400 --> 0:04:14.800
<v Speaker 1>That's where it has to come from. The entire family

0:04:14.840 --> 0:04:18.800
<v Speaker 1>were all extroverted, and it's all derivative of her. It

0:04:18.880 --> 0:04:28.279
<v Speaker 1>has to be. That's very nice. Who is Ava? The

0:04:28.360 --> 0:04:32.080
<v Speaker 1>question that's defined my life. Ava is my older sister.

0:04:32.960 --> 0:04:36.280
<v Speaker 1>Love her. She's a great, big sister. I would say

0:04:36.360 --> 0:04:38.800
<v Speaker 1>she's probably a little more work driven and I'm smarter.

0:04:40.600 --> 0:04:44.200
<v Speaker 1>Wouldn't you agree with that, Grammy? Yes, you're also very humble. Right,

0:04:44.720 --> 0:04:49.120
<v Speaker 1>She's always been Grammy's proverbial favorite. Stop saying that, Jed,

0:04:49.240 --> 0:04:53.080
<v Speaker 1>that's unnecessary. It's not unnecessary. If you said she brings

0:04:53.080 --> 0:04:55.520
<v Speaker 1>me the most joy in life. She started the episode

0:04:55.520 --> 0:04:58.200
<v Speaker 1>by saying, Avo is the person that brings me most

0:04:58.240 --> 0:05:01.440
<v Speaker 1>joy in life. Right, Never that quote, Grammy, Yes, yeah,

0:05:02.120 --> 0:05:05.160
<v Speaker 1>that was nice. That doesn't the gate the fact how

0:05:05.240 --> 0:05:07.760
<v Speaker 1>much I love you. I know, I know the cousins

0:05:07.760 --> 0:05:10.560
<v Speaker 1>have a group chat and we already have acknowledged that

0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:12.920
<v Speaker 1>Eva was the favorite, but that really, you know, you

0:05:13.000 --> 0:05:15.520
<v Speaker 1>really leaned into it. I feel like I'm like Monica

0:05:15.640 --> 0:05:18.000
<v Speaker 1>and Friends when it comes to Grammy. But it's all good.

0:05:18.440 --> 0:05:20.440
<v Speaker 1>But you know what they took out by mistake is

0:05:20.480 --> 0:05:22.599
<v Speaker 1>when I did Avis, I was saying how you really

0:05:22.600 --> 0:05:25.800
<v Speaker 1>were my favorite, and they didn't get into Yeah, I'm

0:05:25.839 --> 0:05:28.000
<v Speaker 1>sure they took that out. Yeah, I meant to tell

0:05:28.040 --> 0:05:30.919
<v Speaker 1>you that just to clarify in this moment, who's your

0:05:30.960 --> 0:05:36.520
<v Speaker 1>favorite grandchild? Well, in one Eva was, but now it's two,

0:05:37.240 --> 0:05:41.280
<v Speaker 1>so you wore got it? And why why am I

0:05:41.320 --> 0:05:43.840
<v Speaker 1>the favorite grandchild? Now? What have I done? It? Pay

0:05:43.880 --> 0:05:46.080
<v Speaker 1>a lot of attention to me. You care about me,

0:05:46.760 --> 0:05:51.039
<v Speaker 1>how I feel. You're very empathetic to my health issues.

0:05:52.200 --> 0:05:54.359
<v Speaker 1>And I'm the most successful and you called me the

0:05:54.440 --> 0:06:02.800
<v Speaker 1>most Yeah. Oh I love him. I just love him.

0:06:02.839 --> 0:06:06.719
<v Speaker 1>I'm telling you the minute it opens, this big personality.

0:06:06.920 --> 0:06:09.400
<v Speaker 1>They both have a sense of human and I wonder

0:06:09.440 --> 0:06:11.719
<v Speaker 1>who's going to be her favorite in twenty three? What

0:06:11.800 --> 0:06:15.359
<v Speaker 1>do you think It reminds me when I say Rachel

0:06:15.520 --> 0:06:18.880
<v Speaker 1>is my favorite granddaughter? But she's the only granddaughter, so

0:06:19.040 --> 0:06:22.719
<v Speaker 1>that's not a problem. But I have twin grandsons. One

0:06:22.880 --> 0:06:25.240
<v Speaker 1>calls me once in a while and one is just

0:06:25.320 --> 0:06:28.200
<v Speaker 1>like Jent. He calls me every week. And if they

0:06:28.320 --> 0:06:31.640
<v Speaker 1>keep calling, they become the favorite. In Finean's Rainbow, there's

0:06:31.680 --> 0:06:34.320
<v Speaker 1>a song when I'm not near the boy I love,

0:06:34.360 --> 0:06:36.720
<v Speaker 1>I love the boy I'm near, And that's how I

0:06:36.760 --> 0:06:40.240
<v Speaker 1>feel about my grandchildren. The one nuts with me is

0:06:40.279 --> 0:06:42.800
<v Speaker 1>my favorite at the moment, and that's true. But he's

0:06:42.839 --> 0:06:46.280
<v Speaker 1>not insulted. He knows his grammy loves him, but he's

0:06:46.279 --> 0:06:48.960
<v Speaker 1>always trying to put her on the spot, and she's

0:06:48.960 --> 0:06:51.880
<v Speaker 1>got to figure out a way to get out of it.

0:06:51.880 --> 0:06:54.599
<v Speaker 1>It's like I kept a mass relationship. He says one

0:06:54.640 --> 0:06:57.240
<v Speaker 1>thing and she kind of comes back another way. It's

0:06:57.360 --> 0:07:00.800
<v Speaker 1>very cute. What we're hearing, though, is this reparte that

0:07:00.839 --> 0:07:03.520
<v Speaker 1>they have, that they're both on the same way. They

0:07:03.560 --> 0:07:08.360
<v Speaker 1>get each other. Absolutely. Okay, Rita, the producers have handed

0:07:08.400 --> 0:07:12.680
<v Speaker 1>me the park titles, and here's the first one, Part one.

0:07:13.440 --> 0:07:18.320
<v Speaker 1>W w E. I wonder what that could I I

0:07:18.320 --> 0:07:23.640
<v Speaker 1>couldn't imagine w w E. World War Women's where, women's

0:07:23.720 --> 0:07:28.040
<v Speaker 1>where early I don't know. I can't imagine. All right,

0:07:28.120 --> 0:07:30.119
<v Speaker 1>I think we're gonna have to listen to it because

0:07:30.160 --> 0:07:38.280
<v Speaker 1>we're getting silly. What about Beauty School Dropout, No graduation,

0:07:39.080 --> 0:07:45.560
<v Speaker 1>Beauty School Dropout. That movie Greece is on every other week.

0:07:45.640 --> 0:07:48.760
<v Speaker 1>I must have seen the Ted Times in Florida this winter. Wow.

0:07:49.680 --> 0:07:54.600
<v Speaker 1>Jed's had many interests in his life. He loved w

0:07:54.600 --> 0:07:57.320
<v Speaker 1>w E. I think we went to Zack Shuman's house

0:07:57.640 --> 0:08:02.000
<v Speaker 1>Grammy and he had Power Rangers, which I loved Power Rangers,

0:08:02.120 --> 0:08:04.760
<v Speaker 1>and then pro wrestling figures. Oh yes, I think I

0:08:04.800 --> 0:08:07.760
<v Speaker 1>took come home. We watched YouTube videos with the wrestlers.

0:08:08.520 --> 0:08:11.960
<v Speaker 1>I was really drawn to the sort of dramatization of it.

0:08:11.960 --> 0:08:14.760
<v Speaker 1>It's kind of like drag queens in our way. Wrestlers,

0:08:14.800 --> 0:08:17.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, they're just all over the place. And I

0:08:17.480 --> 0:08:20.840
<v Speaker 1>was really obsessed. I would have hundreds of action figures,

0:08:20.880 --> 0:08:24.920
<v Speaker 1>you know. I mean, I was really into it. So

0:08:24.960 --> 0:08:28.200
<v Speaker 1>we went to w w E and the dregs of

0:08:28.320 --> 0:08:31.880
<v Speaker 1>society are there. You never saw us so many disgusting

0:08:31.960 --> 0:08:36.480
<v Speaker 1>looking people dressed with vests with their tattoos all over

0:08:36.559 --> 0:08:41.439
<v Speaker 1>their bodies and jeweled hats. It was just a scene,

0:08:41.960 --> 0:08:44.200
<v Speaker 1>it really was. That was what like nine years old,

0:08:44.440 --> 0:08:46.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, And I knew more than half of them.

0:08:46.520 --> 0:08:48.400
<v Speaker 1>Do you remember that Graham? And he was just a

0:08:48.480 --> 0:08:51.520
<v Speaker 1>pain in the ass that night. He was running here

0:08:51.559 --> 0:08:53.520
<v Speaker 1>and running. They didn't know what to do, so excited,

0:08:53.559 --> 0:08:56.120
<v Speaker 1>they didn't know which way to turn, and the place

0:08:56.200 --> 0:08:58.280
<v Speaker 1>was packed and I was only afraid I'd lose them.

0:08:58.280 --> 0:09:00.880
<v Speaker 1>And you got these big guys all out, and he

0:09:01.040 --> 0:09:05.480
<v Speaker 1>was little jed trying to find wrestler that he saw

0:09:05.520 --> 0:09:08.720
<v Speaker 1>already wanted to talk to him. Quite a scene that night.

0:09:09.559 --> 0:09:11.880
<v Speaker 1>At one point, we're watching this wrestling match and Grammy goes,

0:09:11.960 --> 0:09:14.480
<v Speaker 1>we're going now. I'm done, We're going now, And I'm like, no,

0:09:14.920 --> 0:09:17.440
<v Speaker 1>and she goes, we're going now. We got in the

0:09:17.440 --> 0:09:21.360
<v Speaker 1>car and I'm so upset. I think. I was like,

0:09:21.960 --> 0:09:24.480
<v Speaker 1>I can't believe comely, and she goes, you know what,

0:09:24.520 --> 0:09:26.800
<v Speaker 1>I took you to the Wrestling Mania event. Shut up.

0:09:29.040 --> 0:09:30.480
<v Speaker 1>And I have a picture of me in the back

0:09:30.480 --> 0:09:32.319
<v Speaker 1>of the car being on moody. I'm in the back

0:09:32.360 --> 0:09:34.200
<v Speaker 1>of the car taking pictures of myself because I feel

0:09:34.200 --> 0:09:36.720
<v Speaker 1>like it's my moody moment because I was so upset.

0:09:37.160 --> 0:09:38.600
<v Speaker 1>Here you are driving in the front of the car.

0:09:38.720 --> 0:09:43.480
<v Speaker 1>We speaking of the entire car. Right, Grammy, do you

0:09:43.520 --> 0:09:47.200
<v Speaker 1>know any pro wrestlers? Could you name any, Grammy? Nope,

0:09:47.760 --> 0:09:50.360
<v Speaker 1>you couldn't name one. The one that had that show

0:09:50.400 --> 0:09:52.839
<v Speaker 1>on television, that used to wear the band data how

0:09:52.960 --> 0:09:57.560
<v Speaker 1>covid Right, the porn star. You know he's a porn star. Now, No,

0:09:57.679 --> 0:09:59.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't know that he had like a whole sex

0:09:59.160 --> 0:10:02.800
<v Speaker 1>tape that gobb interested ever didn't think you were. How's

0:10:02.800 --> 0:10:06.000
<v Speaker 1>your dating life going, Grammy? What's up with that? Nothing?

0:10:06.559 --> 0:10:08.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't need a man of eighty five years old

0:10:08.600 --> 0:10:10.720
<v Speaker 1>with a walker. That's not what you said last time

0:10:10.840 --> 0:10:13.640
<v Speaker 1>you were going out with that guy in Florida. You

0:10:13.679 --> 0:10:16.440
<v Speaker 1>know what I'm talking about, right, you said we're gonna

0:10:16.440 --> 0:10:18.800
<v Speaker 1>see him again. I'm not saying him again. He might

0:10:18.840 --> 0:10:24.800
<v Speaker 1>have died. You're so nonchalant about that. You're so nonchalant

0:10:24.800 --> 0:10:34.360
<v Speaker 1>about that that he may have died. Okay, it's hysterical,

0:10:34.559 --> 0:10:38.480
<v Speaker 1>that's that's so. She is hot stuck. She says she's

0:10:38.520 --> 0:10:42.320
<v Speaker 1>eighty five in a wheelchair. I mean, oh my god,

0:10:42.520 --> 0:10:48.319
<v Speaker 1>got a throwaway that is so terrific. Maybe he's dead, well,

0:10:48.440 --> 0:10:51.480
<v Speaker 1>that's true, would be hard to get a day. Oh

0:10:51.520 --> 0:10:54.719
<v Speaker 1>my god, I gotta say one thing I give her

0:10:54.840 --> 0:10:59.240
<v Speaker 1>the biggest props for going to a wrestling thing, because

0:10:59.400 --> 0:11:02.560
<v Speaker 1>as much I love my grandchildren, and believe me, I

0:11:02.640 --> 0:11:06.720
<v Speaker 1>love my grandchildren, there is no way on god screener

0:11:07.120 --> 0:11:10.320
<v Speaker 1>that you would ever get me to a wrestling thing,

0:11:10.679 --> 0:11:13.240
<v Speaker 1>I tell you the truth. W w E. I still

0:11:13.280 --> 0:11:15.320
<v Speaker 1>don't know what the hell that with me? Is that

0:11:15.440 --> 0:11:20.280
<v Speaker 1>the name of a wrestling world? Wrestling something around? Did

0:11:20.280 --> 0:11:24.080
<v Speaker 1>you see them? Did you know? Did you never watched that?

0:11:24.280 --> 0:11:28.160
<v Speaker 1>Are you crazy? There is no isn't that something? And

0:11:28.320 --> 0:11:32.800
<v Speaker 1>she was a good grandmother, She took um, she's the best. Okay,

0:11:32.840 --> 0:11:36.000
<v Speaker 1>the producers have handed me the next part, so let's go.

0:11:36.679 --> 0:11:39.199
<v Speaker 1>Let's hear it. I can't wait to hear it. To

0:11:40.400 --> 0:11:48.600
<v Speaker 1>the pain in the s Meryl and Grammy fight like

0:11:48.679 --> 0:11:51.640
<v Speaker 1>cats and dogs. I mean, it's really something else where,

0:11:51.679 --> 0:11:53.960
<v Speaker 1>this Jewish family who goes so intense at it. So

0:11:54.040 --> 0:11:56.040
<v Speaker 1>one moment they'll be going out at left and right,

0:11:56.520 --> 0:11:58.760
<v Speaker 1>and the next moment they'll be talking the most normal

0:11:58.800 --> 0:12:01.199
<v Speaker 1>conversation you've ever seen in your entire life. I mean,

0:12:01.240 --> 0:12:04.320
<v Speaker 1>it's really some dynamic. It's who we are, I guess

0:12:04.320 --> 0:12:07.040
<v Speaker 1>as a family, you know, you never know what you

0:12:07.120 --> 0:12:11.679
<v Speaker 1>gotta get with jed, but he was younger. He really did.

0:12:12.440 --> 0:12:15.000
<v Speaker 1>He was very complex. I really did know which way

0:12:15.040 --> 0:12:16.960
<v Speaker 1>he was going to churn, and he weren't as close

0:12:17.040 --> 0:12:20.000
<v Speaker 1>back then, you know, it was difficult. What time I

0:12:20.000 --> 0:12:22.880
<v Speaker 1>took him to videat your golf and I picked him

0:12:22.960 --> 0:12:26.480
<v Speaker 1>up at his father's house and he said to me,

0:12:26.559 --> 0:12:28.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm not going to talk to you the whole time

0:12:29.360 --> 0:12:31.720
<v Speaker 1>in the car. I said, I'm not going to talk

0:12:31.760 --> 0:12:33.400
<v Speaker 1>to you the whole time in the car. That's right,

0:12:33.520 --> 0:12:37.160
<v Speaker 1>that's a little dickie. Continue, well, that's true. And we

0:12:37.280 --> 0:12:40.080
<v Speaker 1>played Beniche golf and then I just didn't know what

0:12:40.120 --> 0:12:42.600
<v Speaker 1>to do to play Cadam, so I said, you want

0:12:42.640 --> 0:12:44.920
<v Speaker 1>to go to the special ice cream store. So he

0:12:44.960 --> 0:12:47.199
<v Speaker 1>went to the ice cream store and he he loved

0:12:47.240 --> 0:12:49.640
<v Speaker 1>whatever he had bought, and he said to me, now,

0:12:49.679 --> 0:12:51.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm not going to talk to you the rest of

0:12:51.000 --> 0:12:57.400
<v Speaker 1>the way home, so you know, no, I mean no.

0:12:57.559 --> 0:12:59.520
<v Speaker 1>I remember the times where it's like when I was

0:12:59.559 --> 0:13:01.880
<v Speaker 1>bad at Amy because she loves to talk, that's the thing.

0:13:02.160 --> 0:13:04.880
<v Speaker 1>And only was she talked. She would ask about everything

0:13:04.880 --> 0:13:07.800
<v Speaker 1>and anything. I'd be like, I stepped out of the

0:13:07.840 --> 0:13:11.360
<v Speaker 1>house this morning. She'd be like, on what foot I

0:13:11.400 --> 0:13:13.320
<v Speaker 1>feel bad. I get that from her now too. And

0:13:13.320 --> 0:13:15.240
<v Speaker 1>someone's telling me a story at each another time, what

0:13:15.320 --> 0:13:18.080
<v Speaker 1>they were eating, how they were feeling. Sometimes it's a

0:13:18.080 --> 0:13:21.560
<v Speaker 1>little much, but I mean she's definitely cares, you know,

0:13:21.800 --> 0:13:23.600
<v Speaker 1>But I don't know why I would retaliate it. Goods

0:13:23.600 --> 0:13:26.640
<v Speaker 1>to you. That was your personality. Sometimes it was yes

0:13:26.640 --> 0:13:28.360
<v Speaker 1>and sometimes it was no. You never know what you

0:13:28.440 --> 0:13:32.679
<v Speaker 1>got when you whipped it. One day they had grandparents

0:13:32.840 --> 0:13:36.920
<v Speaker 1>day in the nurse three school. He was delicious that

0:13:37.000 --> 0:13:40.840
<v Speaker 1>whole time, and you made pictures and we left. We

0:13:40.880 --> 0:13:43.680
<v Speaker 1>were taking him home and he just would not cross

0:13:43.840 --> 0:13:49.000
<v Speaker 1>the street. It's like he weighed like three hundred pounds.

0:13:49.000 --> 0:13:51.240
<v Speaker 1>He's stuck so far up to the ground. He just

0:13:51.360 --> 0:13:54.880
<v Speaker 1>we could move them. Oh my god, it was just impossible.

0:13:54.920 --> 0:13:58.360
<v Speaker 1>He just stood for why. Do you know why? No,

0:13:58.520 --> 0:14:00.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't know why. Till this day, you know why.

0:14:01.040 --> 0:14:02.599
<v Speaker 1>I was probably in my own world. I think it

0:14:02.679 --> 0:14:04.480
<v Speaker 1>all probably just caught up with me in that moment.

0:14:04.920 --> 0:14:06.880
<v Speaker 1>I think I probably thought you were abducting Cecy would

0:14:06.920 --> 0:14:09.840
<v Speaker 1>take me everywhere. No, we spent the warting with you.

0:14:10.040 --> 0:14:11.680
<v Speaker 1>We had a lovely time. It's like, know what I

0:14:11.720 --> 0:14:15.720
<v Speaker 1>was painting? He asked, I think we all know that.

0:14:15.840 --> 0:14:18.360
<v Speaker 1>But I think my goal growing up was just because

0:14:18.400 --> 0:14:22.000
<v Speaker 1>Eva would get all the attention always, she was always

0:14:23.080 --> 0:14:27.160
<v Speaker 1>number one. I think I had to be remembered for something. Well,

0:14:27.480 --> 0:14:36.520
<v Speaker 1>that's very vivid. Yeah, you certainly were remembered. That is

0:14:36.680 --> 0:14:40.280
<v Speaker 1>so funny. He accomplished what he wanted to accomplish. He

0:14:40.360 --> 0:14:43.360
<v Speaker 1>wanted to set his own mark. And she never forgot

0:14:43.400 --> 0:14:46.600
<v Speaker 1>that incident, never, and that was exactly what he wanted.

0:14:46.840 --> 0:14:49.800
<v Speaker 1>You know, little boys are different than the different thing girls. Yeah,

0:14:49.800 --> 0:14:52.080
<v Speaker 1>you can't ask them a lot of questions. Every time

0:14:52.120 --> 0:14:54.560
<v Speaker 1>I asked my grandson's when they do something and they

0:14:54.600 --> 0:14:58.800
<v Speaker 1>go someplace, I wasn't good. That's it, right, one word,

0:14:59.040 --> 0:15:01.640
<v Speaker 1>And from the girls she get chapter and verse. Yeah,

0:15:01.680 --> 0:15:04.000
<v Speaker 1>you get what they were wearing, who looked nice, who

0:15:04.040 --> 0:15:07.640
<v Speaker 1>didn't look nice? Late? Right? And and a boy, did

0:15:07.640 --> 0:15:11.160
<v Speaker 1>you have a good time? Yeah? Yeah, But this child

0:15:11.320 --> 0:15:15.240
<v Speaker 1>knew how to make his mark. He just stood literally

0:15:15.320 --> 0:15:18.640
<v Speaker 1>stood his ground. And that's what killed Sue. When he

0:15:18.680 --> 0:15:22.240
<v Speaker 1>says I'm not talking because she's a talker. That must

0:15:22.360 --> 0:15:25.720
<v Speaker 1>kill her if anything, just talk to me. But what

0:15:25.760 --> 0:15:29.200
<v Speaker 1>you also are hearing is how close they were really

0:15:29.760 --> 0:15:31.840
<v Speaker 1>that she went to this and she went to that.

0:15:32.080 --> 0:15:35.600
<v Speaker 1>She tried, she really tried. He gets a kick out

0:15:35.600 --> 0:15:38.240
<v Speaker 1>of all the things. He doesn't even remember the things

0:15:38.280 --> 0:15:41.440
<v Speaker 1>he did. Know. I think we tend to remember things

0:15:41.600 --> 0:15:46.080
<v Speaker 1>more than, oh, absolutely, than they do absolutely. I remember

0:15:46.120 --> 0:15:49.520
<v Speaker 1>when my grandson went to a Quaker nursery school and

0:15:49.560 --> 0:15:53.520
<v Speaker 1>a lady came around with cookies, and he never lifted

0:15:53.520 --> 0:15:56.120
<v Speaker 1>his head, and the woman kept on saying, Logan, would

0:15:56.160 --> 0:15:59.800
<v Speaker 1>you like a cookie? And finally he looked up. He

0:16:00.040 --> 0:16:03.040
<v Speaker 1>must have been three, and he says, no, thank you.

0:16:03.080 --> 0:16:06.640
<v Speaker 1>I'll wait for the bagels to come around. That tell

0:16:06.720 --> 0:16:13.000
<v Speaker 1>me from a Jewish kid in quite a nursery school. Okay, rita,

0:16:13.400 --> 0:16:16.520
<v Speaker 1>time for the next part. Okay, let's here in Allen

0:16:16.960 --> 0:16:25.400

0:16:25.680 --> 0:16:32.360

0:16:53.720 --> 0:17:02.720
<v Speaker 1>mean that's that was gonna say. I mean, that's consisted

0:17:02.760 --> 0:17:06.200
<v Speaker 1>of a lot of our activities recently. Well, I was

0:17:06.480 --> 0:17:10.480
<v Speaker 1>his father brought me down some gummy bears, right, what

0:17:10.520 --> 0:17:12.160
<v Speaker 1>do you call them? Is that what it is? Jed

0:17:12.400 --> 0:17:14.880
<v Speaker 1>special gummy bears. I guess he brought them for me

0:17:15.040 --> 0:17:17.760
<v Speaker 1>as a medicine for the back. I have a very

0:17:17.800 --> 0:17:20.879
<v Speaker 1>bad back, and Jed was in the house and I

0:17:20.960 --> 0:17:24.159
<v Speaker 1>had a bad attack, and he kept throwing them in

0:17:24.240 --> 0:17:29.920
<v Speaker 1>my mouth, one after the other, and after a while

0:17:29.920 --> 0:17:31.919
<v Speaker 1>I was getting moopy. And then I look over and

0:17:32.000 --> 0:17:34.800
<v Speaker 1>you're out. You're out like a light. I'd have to

0:17:34.840 --> 0:17:40.959
<v Speaker 1>go to rehab. Wait. I want to ask, so, Grammy,

0:17:41.000 --> 0:17:42.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm in college right now. Do you have any fun

0:17:42.840 --> 0:17:46.359
<v Speaker 1>memories of partying or any of that sort in college? No.

0:17:47.280 --> 0:17:50.040
<v Speaker 1>I went to an old girls city college, and I

0:17:50.240 --> 0:17:52.399
<v Speaker 1>came home at three o'clock or five o'clock whenever my

0:17:52.440 --> 0:17:54.760
<v Speaker 1>class was over, and you didn't go out. You can

0:17:54.760 --> 0:17:56.760
<v Speaker 1>go to the clubs. You didn't do anything at the time.

0:17:57.000 --> 0:17:59.600
<v Speaker 1>We never went to clubs. You know, as a group,

0:18:00.200 --> 0:18:01.800
<v Speaker 1>you had a date with a boy and then you

0:18:01.840 --> 0:18:04.600
<v Speaker 1>went out for dinner or something. Well, speaking of dates,

0:18:04.960 --> 0:18:07.360
<v Speaker 1>you dated Poppy at a very young age. I mean

0:18:07.400 --> 0:18:12.280
<v Speaker 1>you were nineteen, he was what? Right? Were you usually

0:18:12.280 --> 0:18:16.199
<v Speaker 1>always attracted to older guys? Was that your thing? No? No,

0:18:16.400 --> 0:18:18.280
<v Speaker 1>I dated other guys while I was going with him

0:18:18.320 --> 0:18:21.120
<v Speaker 1>because I just didn't think that he was marriage material.

0:18:21.200 --> 0:18:23.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean, are you're supposed to keep your virginity until

0:18:23.119 --> 0:18:26.680
<v Speaker 1>after you're married in Jewish culture? No? Well, that Jewish

0:18:26.720 --> 0:18:29.119
<v Speaker 1>culture and every culture. I'm not gonna ask if you

0:18:29.160 --> 0:18:34.960
<v Speaker 1>abide it by that. That's a little personal, but but

0:18:35.080 --> 0:18:39.239
<v Speaker 1>I assume not. Um, Grammy, who do you think the

0:18:39.280 --> 0:18:42.399
<v Speaker 1>ideal type of guy for me to be dating is?

0:18:43.000 --> 0:18:46.480
<v Speaker 1>George Clooney? Yeah? I feel like you would like it

0:18:46.520 --> 0:18:48.879
<v Speaker 1>if I was with someone who had talent. Can I

0:18:48.880 --> 0:18:51.160
<v Speaker 1>just say? She wasn't very close with my ex boyfriend?

0:18:51.240 --> 0:18:52.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean it was really nice. It was like a

0:18:52.840 --> 0:18:54.760
<v Speaker 1>whole concerned every she put out. At the point where

0:18:54.800 --> 0:18:56.000
<v Speaker 1>I was like, I think I'm gonna break up with him,

0:18:56.040 --> 0:18:58.240
<v Speaker 1>she was like, no, well I felt it was too

0:18:58.320 --> 0:19:00.199
<v Speaker 1>You know, one minute you were in love and the

0:19:00.240 --> 0:19:01.920
<v Speaker 1>next moviute you were breaking up. I wanted you to

0:19:01.960 --> 0:19:04.000
<v Speaker 1>be a little more sure of yourself, right, right, right,

0:19:04.080 --> 0:19:08.560
<v Speaker 1>right right. I was going through this whole tumultuous situation.

0:19:09.040 --> 0:19:11.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean, my grandma was the one who really was

0:19:11.080 --> 0:19:12.760
<v Speaker 1>the whole game changer in the way I was thinking

0:19:12.760 --> 0:19:16.040
<v Speaker 1>about things. She gave me the lesson of if someone

0:19:16.080 --> 0:19:18.520
<v Speaker 1>really cares about you, and that's what really matters the most,

0:19:18.560 --> 0:19:20.760
<v Speaker 1>and showing that they care about you. But I told

0:19:20.760 --> 0:19:21.800
<v Speaker 1>her at one point, I was like, I don't know

0:19:21.880 --> 0:19:23.480
<v Speaker 1>if I trust him, and she goes, well, that's a

0:19:23.520 --> 0:19:26.480
<v Speaker 1>big thing. You have to trust someone, that's the biggest thing.

0:19:26.720 --> 0:19:29.520
<v Speaker 1>And if you don't trust someone, then you have nothing.

0:19:29.640 --> 0:19:32.959
<v Speaker 1>Remember saying that, Grammy, absolutely, But what would be your

0:19:32.960 --> 0:19:37.800
<v Speaker 1>ideal man for me? George Clooney? Somebody that had a

0:19:37.960 --> 0:19:42.520
<v Speaker 1>very nice, rich father. I agree with that. That was single.

0:19:43.040 --> 0:19:46.080
<v Speaker 1>Oh who's also single? Do I date people who are

0:19:46.080 --> 0:19:50.800
<v Speaker 1>not single? My home wrecker? The father is singing, Oh,

0:19:49.480 --> 0:19:53.479
<v Speaker 1>then the father. So I could take two at once, right,

0:19:53.840 --> 0:19:57.080
<v Speaker 1>live in life to the fullest. That's a great No

0:19:57.240 --> 0:20:01.360
<v Speaker 1>the father for me? Oh, I thought you were telling

0:20:01.400 --> 0:20:03.800
<v Speaker 1>me to take advantage of all of life's opportunities. I mean,

0:20:03.800 --> 0:20:05.880
<v Speaker 1>that's something you would do. No, no, no, no, no,

0:20:05.920 --> 0:20:07.520
<v Speaker 1>that's something you would do. You would date the father

0:20:07.560 --> 0:20:11.520
<v Speaker 1>and the son. I think that's a very supposter move please, no, no,

0:20:12.200 --> 0:20:14.480
<v Speaker 1>don't fool yourself here, don't. Let's not get too posh.

0:20:14.600 --> 0:20:16.680
<v Speaker 1>You would do it if you had the opportunity. I

0:20:16.720 --> 0:20:19.120
<v Speaker 1>can't even walk. You can do things other than walk.

0:20:24.960 --> 0:20:31.800
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, that conversation is priceless. First, feeding this

0:20:32.040 --> 0:20:38.399
<v Speaker 1>poor woman these cannabis, COMMI ball till she was looped. Listen,

0:20:38.400 --> 0:20:41.960
<v Speaker 1>you've got a bad back, you try anything. And then

0:20:42.040 --> 0:20:46.440
<v Speaker 1>she's suggesting a grandson should find a nice young man

0:20:46.760 --> 0:20:49.800
<v Speaker 1>with a rich father. So I'm thinking, yeah, everybody should

0:20:49.840 --> 0:20:53.840
<v Speaker 1>marry somebody has a rich father. No, not fun. I

0:20:54.720 --> 0:20:59.560
<v Speaker 1>think that this whole segment tells the story of their closeness,

0:20:59.600 --> 0:21:03.440
<v Speaker 1>of their humor being so into each other. I just

0:21:03.520 --> 0:21:06.560
<v Speaker 1>think that this is wonderful. She's a riot and he

0:21:06.840 --> 0:21:10.000
<v Speaker 1>plays right into it. I'm telling you that would be

0:21:10.080 --> 0:21:14.640
<v Speaker 1>the funniest sitcom on TV. You can imagine every once

0:21:14.680 --> 0:21:16.399
<v Speaker 1>in a while, don't you feel like you'd like some

0:21:16.480 --> 0:21:20.639
<v Speaker 1>of those gutty bass riata. Oh I don't know. I'm fine.

0:21:20.720 --> 0:21:23.359
<v Speaker 1>I'd sleep well. If I have a pain, I'd taken

0:21:23.359 --> 0:21:26.639
<v Speaker 1>a leave. It's cheaper than a gunny bear. You know, reader,

0:21:26.760 --> 0:21:30.679
<v Speaker 1>that's because you're from one generation before me. That's true.

0:21:30.960 --> 0:21:33.000
<v Speaker 1>And you know what's so funny, And he didn't want

0:21:33.040 --> 0:21:35.960
<v Speaker 1>to hear the answer. He wanted to know if his

0:21:36.119 --> 0:21:38.880
<v Speaker 1>grandmother got married as a virgin. You know, my kids,

0:21:38.920 --> 0:21:41.359
<v Speaker 1>I'd tell right out sure, And I said, you know,

0:21:41.480 --> 0:21:43.560
<v Speaker 1>I was a virgin, and you were a virgin only

0:21:43.600 --> 0:21:47.000
<v Speaker 1>because you didn't have abortions in those days. And if

0:21:47.040 --> 0:21:49.520
<v Speaker 1>you got pregnant, you really had a problem. You know,

0:21:49.720 --> 0:21:53.879
<v Speaker 1>next subject, next subject. But you're another decade after me,

0:21:54.000 --> 0:22:01.679
<v Speaker 1>So moving on, we're not going to ask you. Okay,

0:22:01.960 --> 0:22:04.800
<v Speaker 1>that's that time again. What time? What time are you

0:22:04.840 --> 0:22:08.320
<v Speaker 1>talking about? Tea time? Tea time? You know, when we

0:22:08.400 --> 0:22:11.680
<v Speaker 1>have our break and we have our tea time. It's

0:22:11.720 --> 0:22:14.720
<v Speaker 1>nothing like tea time in London. No, there really isn't.

0:22:14.800 --> 0:22:18.040
<v Speaker 1>You can go in the city. It's not like London. Now. Well,

0:22:18.080 --> 0:22:20.040
<v Speaker 1>my bring is hot water in a bag that you

0:22:20.160 --> 0:22:24.560
<v Speaker 1>keep donking in and out. And now that's what they

0:22:24.600 --> 0:22:36.560
<v Speaker 1>called tea time in the United States. Okay, tea time

0:22:36.680 --> 0:22:38.679
<v Speaker 1>is over. Back to work all and so we can

0:22:38.720 --> 0:22:42.040
<v Speaker 1>afford another trip. You know what we do. Maybe we

0:22:42.080 --> 0:22:45.199
<v Speaker 1>should try to meditate. And that's when I do a

0:22:45.280 --> 0:22:50.360
<v Speaker 1>whole day. I clear my mind and I hoped to myself,

0:22:50.880 --> 0:22:55.800
<v Speaker 1>and I talked to my that's my meditating. I have

0:22:55.920 --> 0:23:01.920
<v Speaker 1>a chicken in the refrigerator. Chicken is defrosted. Listen it

0:23:02.040 --> 0:23:09.520
<v Speaker 1>all right, We're glad we could think the day eftday. Okay, reader,

0:23:09.840 --> 0:23:13.720
<v Speaker 1>time for the next part. Okay, let's go part four,

0:23:14.400 --> 0:23:20.320
<v Speaker 1>the prank call. Okay. So I have no idea how

0:23:20.359 --> 0:23:23.000
<v Speaker 1>this came up, but I saw a TikTok and that

0:23:23.119 --> 0:23:26.439
<v Speaker 1>was like this girl used Google Translate to create this

0:23:26.520 --> 0:23:30.000
<v Speaker 1>robotic voice, like an automatic voice. I'm like, you know what,

0:23:30.040 --> 0:23:31.720
<v Speaker 1>I should do it to Grammy because I think it

0:23:31.720 --> 0:23:36.080
<v Speaker 1>would be a good reaction. So in the morning it

0:23:36.200 --> 0:23:37.920
<v Speaker 1>was I guess it was up one thirty in the morning.

0:23:38.560 --> 0:23:41.280
<v Speaker 1>So I call her and it's like, you have a

0:23:41.280 --> 0:23:46.880
<v Speaker 1>collect call from jed Levinson Manhattan Juvenile Center. Press one

0:23:46.920 --> 0:23:50.160
<v Speaker 1>if you would like to receive the call. Hello, this

0:23:50.240 --> 0:23:54.040
<v Speaker 1>is a call from Manhattan Correctional Center Institution from inmate

0:23:54.119 --> 0:23:58.920
<v Speaker 1>jed Levinson jed Levinson. And she goes, what and then

0:23:58.920 --> 0:24:01.159
<v Speaker 1>I'd say it all over a guy, Hello, this is

0:24:01.160 --> 0:24:04.359
<v Speaker 1>a call from inmate or Levinson. Say yes, if you

0:24:04.400 --> 0:24:07.320
<v Speaker 1>would like to accept this call, and she goes yes,

0:24:07.960 --> 0:24:10.040
<v Speaker 1>And I go Grammy and I'm like trying not to

0:24:10.119 --> 0:24:12.080
<v Speaker 1>laugh at this point because I know she's so into it.

0:24:12.160 --> 0:24:15.320
<v Speaker 1>I can hear she's into it, and I go, Grammy, Grammy,

0:24:15.359 --> 0:24:18.399
<v Speaker 1>I'm scared, and she goes, what are you doing? And

0:24:18.440 --> 0:24:22.080
<v Speaker 1>I go up in jail and she goes, jail. How

0:24:22.119 --> 0:24:24.879
<v Speaker 1>do you end up in jail? And I go, I

0:24:24.920 --> 0:24:29.560
<v Speaker 1>don't know, and she's like, oh my god, oh my god.

0:24:29.880 --> 0:24:32.240
<v Speaker 1>It was petrifying. Mean, I mean, here, I have a

0:24:32.280 --> 0:24:35.120
<v Speaker 1>load in the house and he cas me, he tells

0:24:35.160 --> 0:24:37.719
<v Speaker 1>me he's a jail and I don't know what to do.

0:24:37.960 --> 0:24:39.880
<v Speaker 1>And then I think I just start bursting out laughing,

0:24:40.440 --> 0:24:42.520
<v Speaker 1>and she goes, what did I go, it's a joke.

0:24:44.040 --> 0:24:48.359
<v Speaker 1>She starts bawling, crying loudly, bawling, crying like a howl

0:24:48.800 --> 0:24:51.119
<v Speaker 1>on most of the stars was oh. Right after I

0:24:51.160 --> 0:24:52.399
<v Speaker 1>was done, she goes, how did you do that? She

0:24:52.400 --> 0:24:54.919
<v Speaker 1>wanted to know immediately after all the details situation. I

0:24:54.920 --> 0:24:57.879
<v Speaker 1>mean like she got over at quick. Anyways, we had

0:24:57.880 --> 0:24:59.720
<v Speaker 1>to hang up for a second. I call her back

0:24:59.760 --> 0:25:01.440
<v Speaker 1>five minutes later, because you don't want to call you back.

0:25:01.840 --> 0:25:04.439
<v Speaker 1>I go, Grammy, She goes, what and I go, how

0:25:04.440 --> 0:25:06.840
<v Speaker 1>are you doing? She goes, I just say the whole salami.

0:25:09.600 --> 0:25:11.679
<v Speaker 1>Why she goes, I always keep a salami in the

0:25:11.680 --> 0:25:14.080
<v Speaker 1>house with me, no matter what. I was so scared

0:25:14.160 --> 0:25:18.160
<v Speaker 1>a whole salami. Maybe that's why I'm fat. I don't

0:25:18.160 --> 0:25:20.119
<v Speaker 1>think you're fat. I just think it was funny you

0:25:20.160 --> 0:25:22.480
<v Speaker 1>get a whole salami. I could eat a whole salami.

0:25:22.560 --> 0:25:28.680
<v Speaker 1>That it sounds good, I know. Okay, So you want

0:25:28.720 --> 0:25:32.639
<v Speaker 1>to know something. This is a god's honest truth. Every

0:25:32.680 --> 0:25:36.480
<v Speaker 1>time a person plays a prank, it backfires. You have

0:25:36.560 --> 0:25:39.960
<v Speaker 1>to be careful. My sister I once played a prank

0:25:40.040 --> 0:25:42.920
<v Speaker 1>on my parents. They lived near us, and they had

0:25:42.960 --> 0:25:45.639
<v Speaker 1>built this beautiful new home. We had a key to

0:25:45.720 --> 0:25:49.240
<v Speaker 1>my parents has and my sister gets an idea to

0:25:49.440 --> 0:25:53.920
<v Speaker 1>make a figure in the bed with pillows and choose

0:25:54.000 --> 0:25:56.160
<v Speaker 1>at the end of the bed. And we left and

0:25:56.200 --> 0:25:59.240
<v Speaker 1>we were laughing, what a funny thing. They'll come on. Well,

0:25:59.359 --> 0:26:01.720
<v Speaker 1>my parents came home in the middle of the night

0:26:02.040 --> 0:26:05.480
<v Speaker 1>and my father saw this figure in the bed and

0:26:05.520 --> 0:26:08.760
<v Speaker 1>my mother was screaming, what did you stupid girls do?

0:26:08.960 --> 0:26:11.560
<v Speaker 1>Your father stow the body and the bed. He nearly

0:26:11.640 --> 0:26:14.760
<v Speaker 1>had a heart attack, just like Sue. Couldn't that's a

0:26:14.840 --> 0:26:17.240
<v Speaker 1>heart attack. When she heard that he was in jail.

0:26:17.400 --> 0:26:20.240
<v Speaker 1>You have to be careful with pranks and you know

0:26:20.320 --> 0:26:25.040
<v Speaker 1>who you're playing the mind, especially with elderly people. That's right, absolutely,

0:26:25.640 --> 0:26:27.840
<v Speaker 1>Oh but that's soon. She goes for the ride all

0:26:27.880 --> 0:26:31.000
<v Speaker 1>the way. Yes, she does. But you know, in a moment,

0:26:31.240 --> 0:26:34.119
<v Speaker 1>you're not thinking, Wow, he's playing a prank. You're thinking

0:26:34.200 --> 0:26:37.160
<v Speaker 1>to yourself, with my checkbook, I have to bail him out.

0:26:37.920 --> 0:26:39.800
<v Speaker 1>You know, if it was me, I would eat a

0:26:39.880 --> 0:26:46.600
<v Speaker 1>whole gallon of ice cream. She had a whole salami instead. Okay, Riata, okay,

0:26:46.760 --> 0:26:50.880
<v Speaker 1>let's hear it, Ellen, pot five, Tell me about my brists.

0:26:55.000 --> 0:26:57.800
<v Speaker 1>Tell me about my brisk. Two people that don't know

0:26:57.960 --> 0:27:01.800
<v Speaker 1>what a briss is. Brisk is really a circumcision ceremony,

0:27:01.880 --> 0:27:05.119
<v Speaker 1>circumcision for a boy. In Jewish religion, they do it,

0:27:05.240 --> 0:27:08.920
<v Speaker 1>but it's more like a religious ceremony. I can't imagine

0:27:08.960 --> 0:27:11.119
<v Speaker 1>what Sue was going to tell about the well that

0:27:11.280 --> 0:27:14.040
<v Speaker 1>let's cut to the chick, Cut to the cut, cut

0:27:14.160 --> 0:27:23.879
<v Speaker 1>to the breast. Oh that's very glever, Ellen. Oh god, okay,

0:27:24.320 --> 0:27:25.879
<v Speaker 1>you're the one who planned my breast. What do you

0:27:25.920 --> 0:27:28.480
<v Speaker 1>mean I planned the brisk? I planned the brisk. Tell

0:27:28.520 --> 0:27:31.360
<v Speaker 1>me about my breast. Jed had a huge would never

0:27:31.480 --> 0:27:34.280
<v Speaker 1>say I would never I would say I would never

0:27:34.400 --> 0:27:36.520
<v Speaker 1>say to my grandma, tell me about my breast. That

0:27:36.560 --> 0:27:38.840
<v Speaker 1>would never be a sentence I would ever say to her.

0:27:39.080 --> 0:27:42.440
<v Speaker 1>I just want to let you know that, right. But

0:27:42.560 --> 0:27:44.600
<v Speaker 1>she's got to cut that out. She's not putting that in.

0:27:45.200 --> 0:27:48.480
<v Speaker 1>That gets cut out anyway. She tell me about my

0:27:48.520 --> 0:27:53.800
<v Speaker 1>breast was okay. You were the fourth grandchild, and my

0:27:53.960 --> 0:27:57.720
<v Speaker 1>husband this was his only grandson, and he was thrilled

0:27:57.800 --> 0:28:00.560
<v Speaker 1>having a little boy. And he did it to make

0:28:00.680 --> 0:28:04.359
<v Speaker 1>this a real hooplah. So we had the brists and

0:28:04.440 --> 0:28:08.720
<v Speaker 1>we had balloons. So they served nice food the Boyal Cave.

0:28:08.800 --> 0:28:09.960
<v Speaker 1>He did what he had to do it, and he

0:28:10.200 --> 0:28:12.520
<v Speaker 1>cried a little bit. They took it back home. I

0:28:12.600 --> 0:28:15.200
<v Speaker 1>can't believe I had had that. You know, your mother

0:28:15.280 --> 0:28:17.800
<v Speaker 1>had all the people that she does business with, it

0:28:17.880 --> 0:28:21.080
<v Speaker 1>all have friends. You know your mother had invited you

0:28:21.359 --> 0:28:25.040
<v Speaker 1>Jackman to the brists at the cave. So my mom

0:28:25.600 --> 0:28:28.399
<v Speaker 1>is a big shot producer. Anyways, you know, it's the

0:28:28.440 --> 0:28:31.479
<v Speaker 1>only phone number I've ever stole from mom's phone was Jackman.

0:28:31.720 --> 0:28:34.120
<v Speaker 1>Hugh Jackman. I was gonna try to steal Kanye West,

0:28:34.480 --> 0:28:36.800
<v Speaker 1>but Hugh Jackman is a great you know. I feel

0:28:36.840 --> 0:28:38.520
<v Speaker 1>like I could call him at any moment. You know,

0:28:38.960 --> 0:28:41.479
<v Speaker 1>he's a real stand up guy, you know that, right.

0:28:42.080 --> 0:28:44.040
<v Speaker 1>You know I thought growing up that Hugh Jackman, because

0:28:44.040 --> 0:28:45.520
<v Speaker 1>they saw him as wolverine, I thought he did my

0:28:45.600 --> 0:28:48.640
<v Speaker 1>breast with his like wolverine claws. That's what I always thought.

0:28:49.280 --> 0:28:51.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean, that's that's what I would always say to

0:28:51.560 --> 0:28:55.160
<v Speaker 1>people because that's how I knew him, you know. But

0:28:55.400 --> 0:29:00.760
<v Speaker 1>that was not the case, right. I do not like

0:29:00.920 --> 0:29:04.920
<v Speaker 1>the mental picture of Hugh Jackman with wolverine claw's doing

0:29:05.040 --> 0:29:09.880
<v Speaker 1>anybody's brist That jet is really a character my boys

0:29:09.960 --> 0:29:12.000
<v Speaker 1>that never even wanted to talk about it. I once

0:29:12.040 --> 0:29:14.160
<v Speaker 1>said something that he might na I don't want to

0:29:14.200 --> 0:29:17.160
<v Speaker 1>talk about it. Yeah, they know it. They know that's

0:29:17.200 --> 0:29:19.560
<v Speaker 1>something that you might want to forget. But the Brits

0:29:19.680 --> 0:29:22.040
<v Speaker 1>is a big deal. It's a big deal. It's a big,

0:29:22.200 --> 0:29:24.720
<v Speaker 1>big deal in the Jewish religion. And you know what,

0:29:24.920 --> 0:29:27.960
<v Speaker 1>it's a happy ceremony. Only the baby cries. But they

0:29:28.040 --> 0:29:30.600
<v Speaker 1>give the baby a little bit of wine on the

0:29:30.720 --> 0:29:35.080
<v Speaker 1>legs on a piece of cotton. It's makes him a

0:29:35.160 --> 0:29:38.960
<v Speaker 1>little woozy. And the mothers never locked no I never looked.

0:29:39.040 --> 0:29:42.160
<v Speaker 1>I never know the mothers never looked. I would go

0:29:42.240 --> 0:29:45.560
<v Speaker 1>to Hugh Jackman's briss You would go to his priest, right,

0:29:45.920 --> 0:29:48.840
<v Speaker 1>I would go to Hugh Jackman's anything one time. I

0:29:48.960 --> 0:29:54.280
<v Speaker 1>tell you, okay, it's time for another break. My walker

0:29:54.480 --> 0:29:57.600
<v Speaker 1>is here. Do you mean a walker to walk with

0:29:58.000 --> 0:30:01.600
<v Speaker 1>or do you mean one of those guys that scort you? Listen?

0:30:01.680 --> 0:30:03.960
<v Speaker 1>If I have my choice, I'd rather have a guy

0:30:04.040 --> 0:30:07.560
<v Speaker 1>that it scorts me. Are you kidding? I mean if

0:30:07.640 --> 0:30:10.920
<v Speaker 1>I come with my walker walker with another walker, the

0:30:11.040 --> 0:30:13.880
<v Speaker 1>walker walker won't want to walk with me with my walker.

0:30:14.320 --> 0:30:17.560
<v Speaker 1>If you walk with a walker who has a walker,

0:30:17.640 --> 0:30:22.400
<v Speaker 1>then you have four walkers walker together. You know what

0:30:22.520 --> 0:30:26.600
<v Speaker 1>I need a glass of Johnny Walker. Johnny Walker, and

0:30:26.840 --> 0:30:30.400
<v Speaker 1>that's the walk around walker. I walk with my walker

0:30:30.600 --> 0:30:48.240
<v Speaker 1>and had the bottle of Johnny Walker. Okay, we're back,

0:30:48.840 --> 0:30:51.880
<v Speaker 1>all right, put back the walker. Let's go back on

0:30:52.040 --> 0:30:54.200
<v Speaker 1>that program. Yeah, but I'm gonna sit here with my

0:30:54.320 --> 0:30:59.320

<v Speaker 1>you know up, baby, don't sweat it. You're a whole

0:31:23.160 --> 0:31:28.920
<v Speaker 1>the job benefiting. We're all connected by our love for performing.

0:31:29.200 --> 0:31:31.360
<v Speaker 1>Who wants to go to the theater with me, Let's go.

0:31:31.920 --> 0:31:33.800
<v Speaker 1>She is the best person to go to the theater

0:31:33.880 --> 0:31:37.000
<v Speaker 1>with the best she really, now that I think about it,

0:31:37.040 --> 0:31:39.960
<v Speaker 1>Grammy has brought so much culture to this household. I mean,

0:31:40.200 --> 0:31:42.160
<v Speaker 1>what brought you into theater? When did you become such

0:31:42.200 --> 0:31:44.840
<v Speaker 1>a purveyor of the arts. My mother used to love

0:31:44.960 --> 0:31:47.240
<v Speaker 1>to sing. My mother had a nice voice. When I

0:31:47.360 --> 0:31:49.040
<v Speaker 1>was a little girl, she used to teach me all

0:31:49.120 --> 0:31:54.640
<v Speaker 1>the old time songs like come to Me, my Melancholy Bay,

0:31:55.880 --> 0:31:59.880
<v Speaker 1>the one I love belongs to somebody else. He's sing

0:32:00.160 --> 0:32:05.440
<v Speaker 1>those favorite songs to somebody else. And even when I

0:32:05.800 --> 0:32:08.760
<v Speaker 1>have my arms around him. Are these songs from like

0:32:08.880 --> 0:32:12.400
<v Speaker 1>eighteen hundreds or what? No, what kind of hundreds? I

0:32:12.440 --> 0:32:17.760
<v Speaker 1>don't know what year they're from, twenties, nineteen twenties, thirties.

0:32:19.080 --> 0:32:22.280
<v Speaker 1>I always liked performing, and I didn't even always think

0:32:22.320 --> 0:32:24.840
<v Speaker 1>I was the best. I think that as I grew up,

0:32:24.920 --> 0:32:28.000
<v Speaker 1>I liked making people laugh a lot. Grammy also helped

0:32:28.040 --> 0:32:31.160
<v Speaker 1>instill that in me. You know, at the family gatherings,

0:32:31.200 --> 0:32:33.000
<v Speaker 1>everyone was very funny, so it's like, who can top

0:32:33.080 --> 0:32:36.240
<v Speaker 1>the next person with the jokes? You know, your biggest

0:32:36.280 --> 0:32:38.560
<v Speaker 1>competition was right in front of you. Grammy would go

0:32:38.640 --> 0:32:42.520
<v Speaker 1>to virtually all my shows, all of them. He's very professional,

0:32:42.960 --> 0:32:45.240
<v Speaker 1>and I love when he sings and when he dances.

0:32:45.840 --> 0:32:49.360
<v Speaker 1>Had bonderful shows. You had bonderful poets. I love watching you.

0:32:50.080 --> 0:32:53.960
<v Speaker 1>He's really very good. Now. I was also in a

0:32:54.040 --> 0:32:55.959
<v Speaker 1>lot of shows where there was a lot of sex,

0:32:56.440 --> 0:32:59.760
<v Speaker 1>a lot of sex, and Grammy would be at these shows.

0:33:00.280 --> 0:33:02.800
<v Speaker 1>I want to have that experience was for Yeah, did

0:33:02.880 --> 0:33:04.600
<v Speaker 1>you go to Heather's when I was a nut show?

0:33:04.680 --> 0:33:06.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't think so. I don't think I saw that.

0:33:06.480 --> 0:33:08.800
<v Speaker 1>I might have been. I think maybe you blocked it

0:33:08.840 --> 0:33:11.200
<v Speaker 1>out of your memory because it was so Maybe maybe

0:33:11.480 --> 0:33:13.720
<v Speaker 1>I was only in my underwear for half the show. No,

0:33:13.880 --> 0:33:16.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't think I saw that. I would remember that.

0:33:16.960 --> 0:33:19.320
<v Speaker 1>You know what, I performed at fine scene fifty four below,

0:33:19.920 --> 0:33:24.360
<v Speaker 1>and she was there. I remember that staircase vividly to

0:33:24.480 --> 0:33:27.040
<v Speaker 1>get up a dad. That staircase was murder. She has

0:33:27.080 --> 0:33:28.840
<v Speaker 1>bad knee. She doesn't need to come to all these things.

0:33:28.960 --> 0:33:31.800
<v Speaker 1>Chips to this you did from Chlorous Life, I did

0:33:32.360 --> 0:33:35.920
<v Speaker 1>So I in eleventh grade got the opportunity to perform

0:33:36.000 --> 0:33:39.520
<v Speaker 1>at Fine Scene fifty four below, which is this huge

0:33:39.800 --> 0:33:43.280
<v Speaker 1>Broadway club in New York, and I chose dance ten

0:33:43.400 --> 0:33:47.280
<v Speaker 1>looks three from a chorus line, it's all about someone

0:33:47.320 --> 0:33:50.120
<v Speaker 1>who gets plastic surgery to get themselves done up, to

0:33:50.200 --> 0:34:13.840
<v Speaker 1>have boobs in a butt. It goes how fabulous. She

0:34:14.120 --> 0:34:18.239
<v Speaker 1>was the biggest supporter there, absolutely and it really means

0:34:18.280 --> 0:34:27.080
<v Speaker 1>a lot didn't cost apportion, neither didn't hurt. I actually

0:34:27.120 --> 0:34:30.799
<v Speaker 1>have a performance today right after this interview. You were

0:34:30.800 --> 0:34:33.200
<v Speaker 1>probably the first person I called. When I got this part.

0:34:33.440 --> 0:34:37.080
<v Speaker 1>Was the middle of this big snowstorm, huge snowstorm, but

0:34:37.160 --> 0:34:39.200
<v Speaker 1>most of because was late at night. It has no

0:34:39.360 --> 0:34:41.239
<v Speaker 1>idea of time. But what time about go to sleep

0:34:41.320 --> 0:34:43.960
<v Speaker 1>Hill clubby twelve thirty? What o'clock? It must have been

0:34:44.000 --> 0:34:46.400
<v Speaker 1>for almost two hours we talked. I hate to tell

0:34:46.480 --> 0:34:48.680
<v Speaker 1>him that he woke me up, because I loved Liddy

0:34:48.760 --> 0:34:51.320
<v Speaker 1>calls me, you know, so I I don't say anything.

0:34:51.400 --> 0:34:54.560
<v Speaker 1>I just listened to him. That's very nice. And we're

0:34:54.560 --> 0:34:56.880
<v Speaker 1>going to take that to your music class so that

0:34:57.000 --> 0:34:59.400
<v Speaker 1>your music teacher could work on the songs with you.

0:35:00.040 --> 0:35:02.600
<v Speaker 1>I did, Yeah, I did. You know in the future.

0:35:02.640 --> 0:35:05.200
<v Speaker 1>Wouldn't be surprised if one day, you know, I'm writing

0:35:05.239 --> 0:35:07.200
<v Speaker 1>a play and then I called Grammy to ask her

0:35:07.280 --> 0:35:10.000
<v Speaker 1>insights to be a co creator on it, because she's

0:35:10.080 --> 0:35:14.480
<v Speaker 1>so norrish when it comes to creativity and feeling inspired.

0:35:15.280 --> 0:35:18.200
<v Speaker 1>My cup brothers over. And that's because who she is

0:35:18.360 --> 0:35:20.960
<v Speaker 1>the person. It's not about being my grandma. I'll come

0:35:21.000 --> 0:35:24.319
<v Speaker 1>back from the dead like in the Fiddler around the Roof.

0:35:24.440 --> 0:35:38.040
<v Speaker 1>Remember she came back from the dead. Now get out

0:35:38.040 --> 0:35:47.840
<v Speaker 1>of the shot. I really got shot. God again, go

0:35:48.480 --> 0:36:01.280
<v Speaker 1>into that sha God. Oh they are a show, Bob,

0:36:01.760 --> 0:36:06.839
<v Speaker 1>a show together. The relationship with the grandmother. The word

0:36:06.920 --> 0:36:10.399
<v Speaker 1>he used was nourishing. Oh that was a good word.

0:36:10.760 --> 0:36:14.360
<v Speaker 1>It just hit me. That word nourishing. It does she

0:36:14.560 --> 0:36:17.400
<v Speaker 1>It nourishes his soul. He's going to use this in

0:36:17.680 --> 0:36:20.160
<v Speaker 1>his life's work. It's going to give him the foundation

0:36:20.360 --> 0:36:24.440
<v Speaker 1>things to think about it. And she is so patient.

0:36:24.920 --> 0:36:27.879
<v Speaker 1>Oh she is. She is hot stuff. I would say

0:36:27.920 --> 0:36:30.239
<v Speaker 1>to my grandkids, I can't talk to you at two

0:36:30.280 --> 0:36:33.239
<v Speaker 1>o'clock in the morning. She's up there listening. You know.

0:36:33.440 --> 0:36:37.000
<v Speaker 1>That's part of their relationship is late night calls. She's

0:36:37.080 --> 0:36:42.360
<v Speaker 1>behind him all the way. Well, that's how it should be, Okay,

0:36:42.480 --> 0:36:48.880
<v Speaker 1>Rita hot seven, fabulous, fabulous. I'm sorry to see it in.

0:36:49.440 --> 0:36:55.520
<v Speaker 1>I have to remember when I danced for Poppy at Hanaka.

0:36:56.040 --> 0:36:59.120
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, when I did Chicago the routine for him.

0:36:59.320 --> 0:37:01.880
<v Speaker 1>Were you there? Right? Of course I was there. You

0:37:02.000 --> 0:37:05.160
<v Speaker 1>set the scene. We used to have performances on the holidays.

0:37:05.680 --> 0:37:09.400
<v Speaker 1>Each one would perform, each grandchild. We always had fun together.

0:37:09.800 --> 0:37:13.719
<v Speaker 1>I in ninth grade was doing the musical Chicago for

0:37:13.840 --> 0:37:17.319
<v Speaker 1>my theater group. I was playing Miss Mary Sunshine, which

0:37:17.400 --> 0:37:22.840
<v Speaker 1>is the drag queen, and Poppy we all knew he

0:37:22.960 --> 0:37:25.440
<v Speaker 1>was sick. We all know he probably didn't have much

0:37:25.520 --> 0:37:29.320
<v Speaker 1>time left. So they said, Jed, do it for Poppy

0:37:29.320 --> 0:37:31.000
<v Speaker 1>because he can't be at the show. And I'm like, oh,

0:37:31.200 --> 0:37:34.279
<v Speaker 1>knowing the show of Chicago, what the dance is like,

0:37:35.400 --> 0:37:37.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm not really looking to perform it for my grandfather

0:37:38.480 --> 0:37:40.279
<v Speaker 1>And like, no, no, no, Jed, you have to do it.

0:37:40.760 --> 0:37:42.320
<v Speaker 1>And I'm like, I really don't know if this is

0:37:42.320 --> 0:37:44.880
<v Speaker 1>the best idea. Okay, And here I am, for the

0:37:45.080 --> 0:37:49.800
<v Speaker 1>entire family performing this number. I just start grinding and

0:37:49.960 --> 0:37:54.359
<v Speaker 1>every single direction, my hips are swaying, my crotches out.

0:37:54.520 --> 0:37:56.839
<v Speaker 1>It's like a whole thing for my grandfather and all

0:37:56.880 --> 0:37:58.719
<v Speaker 1>I because this is the most embarrassing thing I've ever

0:37:58.760 --> 0:38:03.760
<v Speaker 1>done in my entire life, the tops, all else, oh god, Okay.

0:38:05.920 --> 0:38:07.800
<v Speaker 1>And then when it was done, he though, he went fabulous.

0:38:09.640 --> 0:38:15.759
<v Speaker 1>Of course that was great. He loved sports. I mean

0:38:15.800 --> 0:38:18.879
<v Speaker 1>that's what he was doing, was watching this baseball game.

0:38:18.960 --> 0:38:22.280
<v Speaker 1>Baseball off football, depended on the season. But I remember

0:38:22.320 --> 0:38:23.719
<v Speaker 1>it when where he told me he had a gay

0:38:23.760 --> 0:38:26.080
<v Speaker 1>football coach, and that was just like he didn't have

0:38:26.239 --> 0:38:29.680
<v Speaker 1>to say that. I mean, that was really something else.

0:38:29.880 --> 0:38:31.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if that was before or after I

0:38:31.239 --> 0:38:34.640
<v Speaker 1>had come out, but he cared so much, and his

0:38:34.840 --> 0:38:38.560
<v Speaker 1>caring was visible in the most deep way, and he

0:38:39.160 --> 0:38:43.640
<v Speaker 1>was so supportive of my mom. It's fair to say

0:38:43.680 --> 0:38:46.320
<v Speaker 1>that she was, by far in the entire family, closest

0:38:46.360 --> 0:38:49.440
<v Speaker 1>to my grandfather. I remember it so distinctively. I was

0:38:49.520 --> 0:38:52.279
<v Speaker 1>in my room. She never cries, I mean, she really

0:38:52.320 --> 0:38:55.160
<v Speaker 1>doesn't cry, and she came in and she was crying

0:38:55.160 --> 0:38:59.719
<v Speaker 1>and she said, Poppy died. I never experienced death that

0:39:00.080 --> 0:39:03.640
<v Speaker 1>stening before, and I think me and Ava really felt

0:39:03.680 --> 0:39:07.160
<v Speaker 1>strongly that in order for our mother to also get

0:39:07.200 --> 0:39:09.480
<v Speaker 1>through it, it was important that we show our gratitude

0:39:09.560 --> 0:39:12.719
<v Speaker 1>for the man he was. I didn't know anything about

0:39:12.760 --> 0:39:15.279
<v Speaker 1>what they were writing, so the first time I ever

0:39:15.360 --> 0:39:17.680
<v Speaker 1>heard it was at the funeral. But when I go

0:39:17.800 --> 0:39:20.640
<v Speaker 1>to Florida in the winter, I take our eulogies with me,

0:39:22.360 --> 0:39:24.879
<v Speaker 1>So Grahamy's going to read from the eulogy I wrote

0:39:24.920 --> 0:39:30.960
<v Speaker 1>for Poppy. I've been avoiding writing this. It's really been

0:39:31.080 --> 0:39:35.279
<v Speaker 1>hard thinking about Poppy and not getting emotional. He was

0:39:35.400 --> 0:39:39.759
<v Speaker 1>such an important person in all of our lives. Most

0:39:39.840 --> 0:39:43.759
<v Speaker 1>people in our family have huge personalities and loved being

0:39:43.840 --> 0:39:47.719
<v Speaker 1>in the spotlight. But what separated Poppy from the rest

0:39:47.800 --> 0:39:50.120
<v Speaker 1>of us was that he wasn't like that at all.

0:39:50.800 --> 0:39:54.000
<v Speaker 1>He balanced out all the craziness in our family and

0:39:54.200 --> 0:39:58.279
<v Speaker 1>was the only sane voice at times. He's more of

0:39:58.400 --> 0:40:01.600
<v Speaker 1>a Meths than a day Am Yankees kind of guy.

0:40:02.160 --> 0:40:05.200
<v Speaker 1>But it didn't matter that Poppy didn't have an extensive

0:40:05.280 --> 0:40:09.080
<v Speaker 1>knowledge of musical theater. He said to me, you're a star.

0:40:10.040 --> 0:40:12.960
<v Speaker 1>He believed in me. He believed in all of us

0:40:13.120 --> 0:40:15.880
<v Speaker 1>because he had a heart of gold and loved seeing

0:40:15.960 --> 0:40:20.040
<v Speaker 1>others succeed. When I think of Poppy, that's the way

0:40:20.120 --> 0:40:23.680
<v Speaker 1>I will think about him. Poppy, you are the reason

0:40:23.840 --> 0:40:28.080
<v Speaker 1>that I will always feel free to be unapologetically me.

0:40:29.200 --> 0:40:36.520
<v Speaker 1>I love you so much, thank you. It wore my heart.

0:40:36.680 --> 0:40:39.360
<v Speaker 1>You know, Jed was very difficult to relate to in

0:40:39.440 --> 0:40:42.920
<v Speaker 1>those early years. He really was. And then oh yes,

0:40:43.000 --> 0:40:46.760
<v Speaker 1>he matured beautifully. He really did. He really is concerned

0:40:46.800 --> 0:40:49.720
<v Speaker 1>with the next guy. He's interesting and interested in everything

0:40:49.760 --> 0:40:53.160
<v Speaker 1>in life, it seems lately. So I'm very proud of him.

0:40:54.080 --> 0:40:58.080
<v Speaker 1>Thank you, Grammys. The matriarch of this family, I don't

0:40:58.080 --> 0:41:00.920
<v Speaker 1>know what's going to happen when one day, God, she's

0:41:00.960 --> 0:41:04.280
<v Speaker 1>not here anymore, because she really keeps everything in place,

0:41:04.920 --> 0:41:07.680
<v Speaker 1>even from day one, even though I was tough deal

0:41:07.719 --> 0:41:09.520
<v Speaker 1>with because for so long I was such a pain

0:41:09.600 --> 0:41:11.719
<v Speaker 1>in the ass. We always have the connection and I

0:41:11.800 --> 0:41:13.960
<v Speaker 1>think just kind of get each other. He let me

0:41:14.080 --> 0:41:17.400
<v Speaker 1>come into his life a little bit, and I enjoy

0:41:17.560 --> 0:41:20.680
<v Speaker 1>being there. I think I trust her more so now.

0:41:21.320 --> 0:41:23.320
<v Speaker 1>That thing makes me more happy than to see this

0:41:24.280 --> 0:41:30.759
<v Speaker 1>relationship evolving to what it is now. What has Jed

0:41:30.840 --> 0:41:34.040
<v Speaker 1>taught me? You feel like you've learned from me? Really? Yeah,

0:41:34.040 --> 0:41:36.120
<v Speaker 1>I think I learned how to look into a mirror. Well,

0:41:37.920 --> 0:41:42.120
<v Speaker 1>He's taught me that life is joyous, and he taught

0:41:42.160 --> 0:41:44.200
<v Speaker 1>me how to laugh more, and he had taught me

0:41:44.280 --> 0:41:48.719
<v Speaker 1>how to have good relationship. He always looks deeper into things.

0:41:48.840 --> 0:41:51.640
<v Speaker 1>And I'm just very proud of Jed and I'm very

0:41:51.719 --> 0:41:55.480
<v Speaker 1>proud to call him my grandson. That's very nice. Can

0:41:55.560 --> 0:41:58.120
<v Speaker 1>I sidebar? Is that? Okay? If I sidebar right now? Sure?

0:41:58.600 --> 0:42:01.560
<v Speaker 1>Grammy drove me to I first ever pride. It was

0:42:01.640 --> 0:42:04.960
<v Speaker 1>in June, this past June. I mean that's really something else.

0:42:05.280 --> 0:42:07.560
<v Speaker 1>Do you remember that? Where was it at something? I

0:42:07.640 --> 0:42:09.560
<v Speaker 1>show up to you on a jacket in my underwear?

0:42:09.800 --> 0:42:12.000
<v Speaker 1>Oh yes, and then you're having to drive me to

0:42:12.040 --> 0:42:13.920
<v Speaker 1>my pride. I mean it was really something else. I

0:42:14.000 --> 0:42:16.440
<v Speaker 1>always find myself having a wonderful time with you, Jid,

0:42:16.600 --> 0:42:19.680
<v Speaker 1>I really do. When am I going to see you again?

0:42:20.000 --> 0:42:22.359
<v Speaker 1>A sap? I really am excited for the next time

0:42:22.400 --> 0:42:26.800
<v Speaker 1>we see each other. We'll meet again, don't know where,

0:42:26.840 --> 0:42:31.879
<v Speaker 1>I don't know when, but we'll meet again some sunny day.

0:42:36.360 --> 0:42:39.839
<v Speaker 1>You killed it. She really is something else, doesn't she. Well.

0:42:39.880 --> 0:42:42.480
<v Speaker 1>I think that's a good ending. Thank you so much

0:42:42.520 --> 0:42:45.560
<v Speaker 1>for this wonderful, wonderful interview. It really meant alone. It

0:42:45.680 --> 0:42:53.960
<v Speaker 1>meant more to be What a way to end this series?

0:42:54.520 --> 0:42:58.920
<v Speaker 1>Unconditional love oh my god. If nothing else, if they

0:42:59.080 --> 0:43:03.759
<v Speaker 1>listened to this, just this one episode of Call Your Grandmother,

0:43:05.480 --> 0:43:09.279
<v Speaker 1>people will see what the relationship between a grandchild and

0:43:09.400 --> 0:43:15.080
<v Speaker 1>a grandparent could be. It's something beyond special. This has

0:43:15.280 --> 0:43:18.520
<v Speaker 1>a magical quality to it. It really does. I can't

0:43:18.560 --> 0:43:21.080
<v Speaker 1>stop wiping away the tears and blowing my nose. I

0:43:21.160 --> 0:43:24.160
<v Speaker 1>don't even have a kleenex. And what he thinks of

0:43:24.320 --> 0:43:28.960
<v Speaker 1>his grandfather will really reflect in his entire life and

0:43:29.120 --> 0:43:32.520
<v Speaker 1>has made him the way he is. Yeah, but although

0:43:32.640 --> 0:43:35.279
<v Speaker 1>she made a funny remark, so I told me had

0:43:35.320 --> 0:43:38.680
<v Speaker 1>a look in the mirror, and he laughed. Already likes

0:43:38.719 --> 0:43:41.480
<v Speaker 1>to look at himself. But it's funny how she picked

0:43:41.560 --> 0:43:44.719
<v Speaker 1>that up. Look, he's only twenty years old. He's still

0:43:44.800 --> 0:43:47.360
<v Speaker 1>a young man, and so he was a difficult child.

0:43:47.960 --> 0:43:50.080
<v Speaker 1>Maybe he there were things about him he knew where

0:43:50.560 --> 0:43:52.959
<v Speaker 1>you know, we're hard too, but it took a while

0:43:53.040 --> 0:43:54.680
<v Speaker 1>to get to where he is. But he's at a

0:43:54.800 --> 0:43:57.680
<v Speaker 1>good place and she's enjoying him as he is now,

0:43:57.840 --> 0:44:02.000
<v Speaker 1>and it just encapsulates the word love. Love. It was

0:44:02.120 --> 0:44:05.359
<v Speaker 1>just a lovely way to end the series. Unfortunately it's ending,

0:44:05.480 --> 0:44:09.839
<v Speaker 1>but this was perfect. Absolutely, Look, they'll all be said

0:44:09.960 --> 0:44:13.160
<v Speaker 1>when we go, when the grandparents go. But you know,

0:44:13.640 --> 0:44:16.919
<v Speaker 1>when we leave, and we all do leave, the good

0:44:17.040 --> 0:44:20.439
<v Speaker 1>memories and the things you did together, that's what they'll

0:44:20.520 --> 0:44:25.480
<v Speaker 1>have to hold on to. Kind thoughts. Absolutely, absolutely forget

0:44:25.600 --> 0:44:28.920
<v Speaker 1>money or anything like that. That doesn't mean anything. That's nothing,

0:44:29.360 --> 0:44:31.920
<v Speaker 1>but the little intricate things of life. That's what we

0:44:32.080 --> 0:44:35.600
<v Speaker 1>leave for them. Absolutely, they'll all get on when we're

0:44:35.680 --> 0:44:40.080
<v Speaker 1>not here. I'm never dying, reader, I am. I'll never dying, okay, alright,
