12
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:38,199
Speaker 3: That's a great transition because I'm I'm learning I might

Speaker 1: Thanks for putting it down. Steve or whatever it was.

18
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 1: Your grandpa's name, I always remember William or.

19
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 3: Bill William, but boozy Bill was a nickname. I learned

20
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 3: that he has the bill a lot of the yearbook.

21
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 3: So my grandpa was like a play a player, and

22
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 3: I knew he was cute from like old photos. But

23
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:10,040
Speaker 3: my god, Margie, she wrote to my sweetie. Okay, Margie

24
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:12,680
Speaker 3: had to look her up see if she's you know

25
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 3: what she.

26
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 2: Right?

27
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 3: Well, listen, I'll tell you why. I know if people

28
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 3: are alive or not alive. In a second, based on

29
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,400
Speaker 3: this year book, Helen wrote.

30
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 2: To a real cute boy.

31
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 3: Name a minute, right, and then she signed at fifty

32
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:35,400
Speaker 3: five was the year. It was just filled with thirsty women,

33
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 3: which was the first thing I noticed. And I'm like,

34
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:44,119
Speaker 3: wait a minute, Bill, Goozy Bill. Yeah.

35
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 2: Second of all, the king of nicknames himself I.

36
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 3: Did not know was boozy Bill in high school, didn't.

37
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 2: Hear about that.

38
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 3: And in the most grandparent fashion ever, my grandpa put

39
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 3: an X over the years through everyone who had passed.

40
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 2: Oh my god, he went in there and crossed them

41
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 2: all out, he did.

42
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 1: And there's different color rip.

43
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 3: But one of the things he loved to do, which

44
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 3: I'm learning is like a grandparent thing. He would always

45
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:13,639
Speaker 3: have me watch that damn obituary channel every Sunday just.

46
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 2: To see if any of his friends were in there.

47
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:16,799
Speaker 1: There's an obituary channel.

48
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:20,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm like basic cable. It plays like funeral music.

49
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 1: I didn't know this.

50
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 3: You didn't know that well, because you don't you know

51
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 3: you don't need to watch it yet. But my grandpa

52
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 3: always watched it, and I mean it might have been

53
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 3: daily now that i'm thinking of it, and it was

54
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,639
Speaker 3: just you know, instrumental music and just names and people

55
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 3: who passed away.

56
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 1: Kind of be sad when you get to a certain

57
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 1: point in your life where people just like they just

58
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 1: start dying because you're getting old, and then you realize like, oh,

59
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 1: that's that's where I'm headed, right, you know what I mean?

60
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 1: Or maybe as I'm learning as I get older, I'm

61
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 1: very grateful for life. I'm very grateful for health. I'm

62
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 1: grateful for all of it. I can be a curmudgeon

63
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:54,519
Speaker 1: and that's it's kind of an act. I'm actually a

64
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 1: very happy person. But I can see now how people get.

65
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: I used to be afraid to die for a lot

66
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: of reasons. The older I get, the more I'm like,

67
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 1: I can see how when you get to a certain point,

68
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 1: you're like, did spend a nice run?

69
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 2: You know, like it's a lot down here on earth?

70
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:11,959
Speaker 1: Take take take me, Take me home?

71
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 2: Sleep.

72
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, those exes weren't you know ones that he conquered

73
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 3: in high school?

74
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:21,799
Speaker 2: Well, he was crossing the.

75
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:23,920
Speaker 1: It was.

76
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 2: There was people who passed away. But it made me

77
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 2: laugh a lot.

78
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:30,920
Speaker 3: And I mean, it's one thing to learn about your

79
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 3: parents when they were younger, but your damn grandpa, Boozy

80
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 3: Bill was thirty.

81
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 2: For Boozy Bill.

82
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 3: Boozy Bill and my cousin group chat were all like

83
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 3: what he you know, talking crab about these ladies because you.

84
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 2: Know, we have Virginia's back, got both their souls.

85
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: You know, my grandparents have passed. All of my grandparents

86
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 1: have passed away, so I will never be able to

87
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 1: confirm this. But my grandmother was a good Catholic, so

88
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 1: I suspect. And they got married pretty young. I suspect that.

89
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 1: And I think my first aunt may have been conceived

90
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: like their wedding night kind of thing. So my nana

91
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 1: might have been a good one. She might have been

92
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 1: a real one. My grandfather, though he served a little uh,

93
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 1: he served in the I guess it was the some

94
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 1: in the Air Force before it was the Air Force.

95
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: I don't know the whole history. It was a brief.

96
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 1: But he was a jazz musician, touring jazz musician. I

97
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 1: think he was a bad boy. Oh yeah, I think

98
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 1: old Fritz had his day. I don't think. I don't

99
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:23,839
Speaker 1: think it was Fritz's first rodeo.

100
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, Helen, in every city.

101
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,919
Speaker 1: He may have, he may have not. You're Helena.

102
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 3: Wait a minute, she was busy doing her own that's true,

103
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 3: and she got pregnant every time, so.

104
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:38,040
Speaker 1: That would have been something. Right, Maybe I should do

105
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: that thirty three and me or whatever it is, right right, well,

106

123
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,279
Speaker 1: because you've been so scarred by the tailor swift experience

124
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:34,279
Speaker 1: by having to buy a bunch of just garbage that

125
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:36,479
Speaker 1: we're going to actually have good merch and we're gonna

134
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,720
Speaker 1: we're working on making this stuff like relatively affordable. And

135
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 1: then there's some charitable angle too, right, going to be.

136
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 4: The cheapest possible, And then it'll be something like we're

137
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:09,279
Speaker 4: not making money on this.

138
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 5: No, no, no, this is not to make money.

139
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:16,720

Speaker 4: We're not making money and it'll go to pause or

143
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 4: a charity that we care about it we can rotate

144
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:24,040

145
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:25,760
