1 00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:08,360 Speaker 1: I don't charge much for it, an autograph a price 2 00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:11,560 Speaker 1: for boarding with see, I don't just give out an autograph. 3 00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:14,239 Speaker 1: I say, have your people call my people and I'll 4 00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:18,160 Speaker 1: see about an autograph. I tell everybody get me now. 5 00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:23,119 Speaker 1: While I'm cheap, really must never say your cheap. That's 6 00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:27,920 Speaker 1: what's right, Ellen, who's gonna be on the podcast this morning? 7 00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:32,120 Speaker 1: It is me and Logan. Oh that's gonna be hard. 8 00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:34,760 Speaker 1: You've got to be very objective element. I want to 9 00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:39,159 Speaker 1: see how they edited it. May believe it's not your grandson, 10 00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:41,680 Speaker 1: and we'll tell it as it is, like we always do. 11 00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:44,520 Speaker 1: Have that well, I tell it like it is, even 12 00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:48,720 Speaker 1: when I'm objective. So I'm really looking forward to this. 13 00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:58,920 Speaker 1: This should be good. This should be good. You know what, 14 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,520 Speaker 1: I don't think my life is any more interesting than 15 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:05,399 Speaker 1: anybody else's. I think everybody has all these stories. I 16 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:17,160 Speaker 1: just remember them. This is, of course my grandmother, Ellen 17 00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:22,520 Speaker 1: Bernstein Grodsky. Logan, this downless like daddy exactly. Your voice 18 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,759 Speaker 1: comes through just like his, but I better know hers, Nana. 19 00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 1: He is the most charming, the most intelligent, brilliant, sweet kind. 20 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:37,480 Speaker 1: There is nothing negative about Logan at all. Nothing. She 21 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 1: uh always a very big presence in my life. He 22 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,760 Speaker 1: was gorgeous from the minute he was born. What listen, 23 00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 1: I'm his grandmother. What can I tell you at a 24 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:51,680 Speaker 1: Jewish grandmother? Yet so well. I think there's two things 25 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:55,240 Speaker 1: that come almost equally, love of course, and then related. 26 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,280 Speaker 1: I think food is is very, very big. I definitely 27 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 1: associate that with her. Logan is not a material person 28 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 1: at all, and when you say to Logan, what do 29 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:08,680 Speaker 1: you want, nothing, Nana, It's impossible to get him a gift. 30 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 1: It really is. We used to see a movie on 31 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 1: my birthday and that was that was enough. I have 32 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 1: some great books that my grandmother's got it me over 33 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,800 Speaker 1: the years. That's always what it ended up being. There's 34 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:26,960 Speaker 1: a massive encyclopedia of the Confederacy that she got me, 35 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,640 Speaker 1: and I must have been very small when she got 36 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 1: it for me. It's very dense and I remember loving 37 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 1: reading it. He's been a voracious reader since he was 38 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,840 Speaker 1: very small, and an intelligent one. I mean, I would 39 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,680 Speaker 1: never insult him by getting him a child's book. You 40 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 1: don't get into the ninety ninth percentile of the S 41 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 1: A T. S if you're not very smart. I'm applying 42 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,640 Speaker 1: to college right now. And she always tells me that 43 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 1: any school would be lucky to have me, and that 44 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 1: I should get into all these schools. And I keep 45 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,639 Speaker 1: telling her I really wish she was on the admissions committee. 46 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 1: Believe me, if I was at the committee, you would 47 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 1: be in a Harvard any First of all, he sounds wonderful. 48 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 1: He's got such a lovely voice. And of course your 49 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 1: magect is in the beginning a very objective, brilliant, gorgeous, 50 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 1: which I'm sure he is. Ellen is, absolutely, he is. Absolutely. 51 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:22,080 Speaker 1: I'm not even gonna question your Mine aren't such geniuses. 52 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:26,359 Speaker 1: They're just nice, good, normal kid. But okay, you're entitled. 53 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 1: You're a Jewish grandmother. I have seven grandchildren, and two 54 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 1: of them, I would say, are really in the genius strata. 55 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 1: But all of them bring something to the table. You know, 56 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 1: you remind me a a friend of mine who's got 57 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 1: a very smart water and also genius. There's a couple 58 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 1: of geniuses in this world. But on Stein, maybe Bill Gates, 59 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 1: Logan Grotsky. Okay, I'm given to you, he's a genius. Whatever. 60 00:03:55,280 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 1: You're alla malus, which in Jewish means all good things, right, right, Okay, 61 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 1: the producers just gave me the titles. So here we 62 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 1: go Part one. I know from grandparents, and I have 63 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 1: a feeling that I know what this is going to 64 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:30,159 Speaker 1: be about. Grandparenting is is wonderful because it's parenting without 65 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 1: the responsibility. She always responds to my text messages. I 66 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 1: can always call her up. Occasionally I'll call her up 67 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 1: and ask her for a recipe. Very very available, as 68 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 1: it's all retired. Grandparents should be one thing i'd ever do. 69 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 1: Has said to myself. Yeah, I can attest. Were you 70 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 1: close to your grandparents? Unfortunately my grandparents died when I 71 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 1: was too young. I remember more of my father's parents. 72 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 1: I think you have to tell the story of the 73 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:11,840 Speaker 1: steamshift New York. Oh well, that is our famous family story. 74 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 1: My grandparents emigrated from Russia to England, and they met 75 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:21,360 Speaker 1: in London, and my grandfather left for the United States 76 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:25,240 Speaker 1: and left my grandmother in England, and she discovered she 77 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:30,159 Speaker 1: was pregnant, and he worked very hard to make money 78 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 1: to send her a ticket to come to America. And 79 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 1: the ticket was on the maiden voyage of the steamship 80 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:41,719 Speaker 1: New York. And she was of course in steerage. But 81 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,839 Speaker 1: up above there were parties going on because it was 82 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 1: a maiden voyage, and the Vanderbilts were on board and 83 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,720 Speaker 1: the lower group just stayed below decks. And about two 84 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:55,360 Speaker 1: days into the trip, my grandmother went into labor. One 85 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 1: of the women who was down in that area with 86 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:00,840 Speaker 1: her went up to the ships to actor and she said, 87 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,600 Speaker 1: there's a young girl down there in labor, and they 88 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:07,359 Speaker 1: brought her up to the ship's infirmary. And it became 89 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 1: known on the ship that my grandmother was about to 90 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:14,159 Speaker 1: have a baby, and so Mrs Vanderbilt and Mrs Hoosie 91 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 1: Tusie and Mrs Lutzie Luzzie all took turns sitting with 92 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 1: my grandmother while she was in labor, and eventually she 93 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 1: had the baby on the ship. Fast forward, my grandfather 94 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 1: arrives at Ellis Island and everybody gets off the ship 95 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 1: except my grandmother, and he is frantic, and in his 96 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 1: very broken English, he goes over to some man and 97 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:42,039 Speaker 1: he says, my vibe, I was supposed to come on 98 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:46,760 Speaker 1: this boat, and I I didn't get off from the boat, 99 00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 1: but I know she got on from the boat. And 100 00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:53,280 Speaker 1: he said, what's the name? And his hold her and 101 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,880 Speaker 1: he says, she's at long Island College Hospital, and they 102 00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 1: sent my grandfather in a carriage, and when he there, 103 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,840 Speaker 1: my grandmother was in the room piled up to the 104 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 1: ceiling with gifts from all these fancy women on the ship. 105 00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 1: And the ship's captain was sitting with her and he said, 106 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 1: Mr Bernstein, we're waiting for you to give the baby 107 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 1: a name. And my grandfather and my grandmother sat and 108 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:21,120 Speaker 1: they spoke in Yiddition, and finally my grandfather turned around, 109 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 1: but his hands on his Jess goes the name for 110 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 1: the baby is going to be Samuel Steamship New York, Benstein. 111 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:37,320 Speaker 1: And that was my uncle Sam's name, Samuel Steamship New York. 112 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 1: That's always been a favorite story of mine. It actually 113 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 1: made it into one of my my college essays. Such 114 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 1: a remarkable story. And my cousin named her son Scott 115 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 1: York after her father. But you know, when you have 116 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 1: a grandfather, it's it's a different kind of a relationship. 117 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 1: We saw him, but he had a second vibe. I 118 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 1: never knew that. I never knew Jennie. She used to 119 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 1: say call me Godma, and my cousin and I used 120 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 1: to say, we'll call you Jennie. I never knew that 121 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 1: he had a second wife. Yes, I remember when my 122 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 1: grandfather passed away, we went to the funeral and Jenny, 123 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,240 Speaker 1: Oh God, I'm gonna tell this story, and it's gonna 124 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 1: be out there permoctly. My mother said, you go over 125 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 1: and you pay your respects to Jenny. So I walked over, 126 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,160 Speaker 1: and I remember I was wearing a navy blue dress. 127 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 1: And I walked over to Jenny and she was sitting 128 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,839 Speaker 1: on one of those little stools because Jewish people when 129 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,840 Speaker 1: there in mourning, they have to sit on a little bench. 130 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 1: And I said, Jenny, I want to offer my condolences. 131 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,560 Speaker 1: And she took the hem of my skirt in her 132 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 1: hand and she said, hear us such a wonderful man. 133 00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 1: And she took my skirt and she dried her wise 134 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:05,880 Speaker 1: with it. When we came home, I took the dress 135 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 1: and I put it in a brown paper bag and 136 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:12,840 Speaker 1: I put it down the incinerator. I just couldn't stand 137 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,880 Speaker 1: those those tears. She was married to my grandfather for 138 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:20,120 Speaker 1: one year, and months later I was looking for something 139 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,199 Speaker 1: to wear it to something. My mother said, what about 140 00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:25,080 Speaker 1: that blue dress with the white collar. I said, you know, mom, 141 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:29,160 Speaker 1: I don't know where it is, but I do see. 142 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 1: That's a story I have never heard of. Okay, you 143 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:35,840 Speaker 1: really hated it about me. I would be given it 144 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:38,840 Speaker 1: to the cleaners, and that I don't give away a 145 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,440 Speaker 1: good dress like that. I felt that it was so 146 00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:44,640 Speaker 1: soiled rude, but I just could never wear it. That's 147 00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,679 Speaker 1: a good. Oh my god, I don't want any to 148 00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:51,520 Speaker 1: tell you the things I've saved. I'm very conservative that way, 149 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 1: and it's something I'm gonna tell you own. You didn't 150 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:56,200 Speaker 1: have to throw away the dress, just have a clean ruta. 151 00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,840 Speaker 1: I was fifteen or fourteen. I didn't know. I just 152 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:07,199 Speaker 1: felt so defiled by that god my skirt that I 153 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:12,920 Speaker 1: had to get rid of it. San Steamship, your adorable story. 154 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 1: You told me that story once before, but each time 155 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 1: I hear it, I just love it. It's such an 156 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 1: original story. And Logan loves that story too. I can 157 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:26,320 Speaker 1: hear all my grandkids love it. It's it's sort of 158 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,080 Speaker 1: you know, everybody saw Fiddler on the Roof and they 159 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,720 Speaker 1: see all these people coming over with the piano on 160 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:36,319 Speaker 1: their back or something, and actually these people struggled, it 161 00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 1: would just struggle to pay for one ticket. So when 162 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,960 Speaker 1: my grandchildren hear it, I want them also to hear 163 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:46,200 Speaker 1: not only that it was a big funny story, but 164 00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:51,360 Speaker 1: that this was the struggle that their family had to 165 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 1: endure in order to get to America, and that they 166 00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:58,920 Speaker 1: should be very, very lucky that they have this life 167 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 1: that they do due to of those people. You know, 168 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 1: it's funny that you said, because here's the people that 169 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:07,400 Speaker 1: came over from Europe. They couldn't speak English, and the 170 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:11,079 Speaker 1: people at elis Ol and that resigning the men, they 171 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 1: couldn't understand their language or their names. And we used 172 00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:18,440 Speaker 1: to say, where did you get that name? They said, 173 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:20,960 Speaker 1: I don't know. When I came to Less Island. That's 174 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 1: what they wrote down. That's good. Whatever they heard, that's 175 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:28,400 Speaker 1: what they wrote down today. And name, my god, the 176 00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:31,040 Speaker 1: minute you find out you're pregnant, you're looking through the books, 177 00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:34,640 Speaker 1: you can't find the name good enough, different, whatever. When 178 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:36,640 Speaker 1: my kids were growing up, oh my god, it had 179 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,040 Speaker 1: to be like as an American as you could get. 180 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:42,559 Speaker 1: But today we're back to the Biblical names, which we used, 181 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 1: the Hebrew names. We used the Hebrew names, which I love, 182 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:51,200 Speaker 1: which I love. Now listen, don't go anywhere. We're going 183 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:53,720 Speaker 1: to do a quick commercial. And I know you're gonna 184 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,240 Speaker 1: come right back, because we'll be looking for you. And 185 00:11:56,320 --> 00:12:09,839 Speaker 1: there's nothing like Jewish guilt. Part two, Rising above expectations. Well, 186 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:14,079 Speaker 1: we're a food family. My grandparents wet caters, and from 187 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,760 Speaker 1: the time that this one was a little taught, he 188 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,160 Speaker 1: always liked to cook. He always liked to help. He 189 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 1: made mac and cheese. I think I've graduated up to 190 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 1: more sophisticated recipes. Did you have any recipes that you 191 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:30,160 Speaker 1: know come directly from them? Well, definitely, the brisk it 192 00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:34,000 Speaker 1: comes from my grandmother. The chicken suit, the mats of balls, 193 00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 1: potato pancakes, So mostly I guess the most standard fair yes, 194 00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:45,120 Speaker 1: well for us. So what was your first job? Oh, 195 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:48,600 Speaker 1: teach it I taught in Chinatown. Well, first I taught 196 00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 1: in bed Fitz Darvison and it was a fun place 197 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 1: to work. It was lovely. You've also said that you 198 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:57,319 Speaker 1: didn't think that teaching was your passion. Would you say 199 00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,679 Speaker 1: you don't regret it. I don't regret that I taught, 200 00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:02,840 Speaker 1: but it wasn't my passion. I became a teacher because 201 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,400 Speaker 1: my mother said that that's what I should be. I 202 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,400 Speaker 1: really wanted to be like my mother. I wanted to 203 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:12,120 Speaker 1: be an interior designer, and so once I had children, 204 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:16,560 Speaker 1: I started taking course as an interior design And do 205 00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:21,040 Speaker 1: you ever wish you had gone into your second career earlier? Yes, 206 00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:25,120 Speaker 1: I wish I had studied for it originally rather than 207 00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:28,760 Speaker 1: doing it after I had children. And what would you 208 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:34,720 Speaker 1: say you are more passionate about food or interior design? Well, food, 209 00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:40,120 Speaker 1: as I think that's the correct answer. I'm a retired 210 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:43,880 Speaker 1: interior designer. I don't work anymore at that, but I 211 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:48,280 Speaker 1: work at cooking absolutely. You know, I create food every 212 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:51,160 Speaker 1: single night. Because your grandfather doesn't even know how to 213 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,520 Speaker 1: crack an egg to make it. So I think you'd 214 00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:57,320 Speaker 1: agree that those creative channels very much are available to 215 00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:00,960 Speaker 1: you through cooking, because you are really creative cook. I 216 00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,959 Speaker 1: love to cook, as my grandmother used to say, Patrika 217 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:06,920 Speaker 1: in the kitchen. And of course the fact that you 218 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:09,480 Speaker 1: love to cook and you did manage recipes out of 219 00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:13,280 Speaker 1: your interior design clients, that you have combined those things successfully, 220 00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:16,760 Speaker 1: I did. I did vodka source. I haven't made that 221 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,760 Speaker 1: for you yet, but my vodka source comes from from 222 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:22,920 Speaker 1: my clients. We've made we've made that together. Vodka source 223 00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:27,160 Speaker 1: I made with you. Yeah, don't tell your mother. I 224 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:33,960 Speaker 1: didn't tell her. I didn't. Don't worry, I personally could 225 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:38,200 Speaker 1: speak personally. Allen is an excellent cook, and she has 226 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,880 Speaker 1: a little cookbook that she puts out for the friends, 227 00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:43,640 Speaker 1: which we all have. As a very little girl, I 228 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,920 Speaker 1: remember my grandmother being in the kitchen and I would 229 00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:50,080 Speaker 1: stand next hour and she would say, give me from 230 00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:52,440 Speaker 1: that part, and give me from this, and hand me that. 231 00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:55,800 Speaker 1: The only thing is those old cone cooks. They never 232 00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:59,840 Speaker 1: knew amounts. You take a handful, while you're a handful 233 00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:02,320 Speaker 1: of twice it start to my innfol In the Yiddish, 234 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:05,680 Speaker 1: that's called shipping gifts. It means just a minute where 235 00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:08,200 Speaker 1: will be no it's s h I T T. I 236 00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:11,800 Speaker 1: think ship. You throw it and you guess what all 237 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:17,680 Speaker 1: that drops like ships creak on the television today. My 238 00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:26,760 Speaker 1: grandmother never never used the recipe. Part three Summer Camp. 239 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:31,640 Speaker 1: Nana suffers from an excess of lucid thought. She can 240 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:34,840 Speaker 1: draw a family tree if she wanted to, with great detail. 241 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:41,600 Speaker 1: Here is a story for the ages. When I was seven, 242 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:45,520 Speaker 1: I went to Camp Oh, the chicken pox story. It 243 00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:50,240 Speaker 1: was just wonderful. And the night of the banquet, kid 244 00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 1: in my bunk got chicken packs. During the night. I 245 00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:57,280 Speaker 1: woke up and I felt very sick and very hot. 246 00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:01,240 Speaker 1: They called my mother in the morning and my mother said, 247 00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:03,120 Speaker 1: oh my god. We didn't have a car at the time. 248 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,400 Speaker 1: And as they were talking to me, a man came 249 00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:08,360 Speaker 1: into the office and said, I'm he had to pick 250 00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:12,960 Speaker 1: up my daughter shows chicken pox. So the camp mother said, 251 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:16,400 Speaker 1: will you take this little girl with you? Oh? Sure, 252 00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:18,600 Speaker 1: you know, he says, But we have to go right away, 253 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,680 Speaker 1: he says, because my wife is expecting a baby and 254 00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:25,680 Speaker 1: she's due to give birth any minute. And they put 255 00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,680 Speaker 1: me in the car and the man's mother was in 256 00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:32,160 Speaker 1: the car. May she rest in peace. She smelled like 257 00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:36,000 Speaker 1: chicken soup. So we were driving along and I kept 258 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:40,240 Speaker 1: on saying stop. All the way home. I was getting 259 00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:43,640 Speaker 1: out and throwing up, and finally we stopped. In some time, 260 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,480 Speaker 1: he says, we've got to go. I can't keep stopping. 261 00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:50,360 Speaker 1: He says, I know a family and they're very lovely 262 00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:53,760 Speaker 1: people and they'll take care of her. And he called 263 00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:56,520 Speaker 1: my mother and he explained to her, and my mother said, okay, 264 00:16:56,640 --> 00:17:00,160 Speaker 1: tell me where I'm going. So they bring me to 265 00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:04,200 Speaker 1: this farm and this lady came out with a very 266 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:08,720 Speaker 1: heavy German accent. And this was World War two. Times 267 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:11,760 Speaker 1: I heard a German accent and I figured, he's leaving 268 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:16,080 Speaker 1: me with the Germans. And I was beside myself, thinking 269 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:18,479 Speaker 1: that Hitler was going to walk through the door at 270 00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:24,199 Speaker 1: any second. Finally, and I remember hearing the Murta de 271 00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:28,520 Speaker 1: murte escape kimmen, the mother has come. And then my 272 00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:31,040 Speaker 1: mother started to speak to them, and I said, when 273 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:33,520 Speaker 1: they help? Did my mother learn how to speak German? 274 00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:37,639 Speaker 1: And I realized later on, of course they were speaking Yiddish. 275 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:43,000 Speaker 1: These were Jewish refugees who had escaped. They invited my 276 00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,960 Speaker 1: mother for dinner. Everything was fresh from the farm, and 277 00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:48,280 Speaker 1: they made me chicken soup and they put it in 278 00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:50,000 Speaker 1: a bag and they gave it to my mother to 279 00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:53,320 Speaker 1: take with us. These things I still remember. And I 280 00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:56,719 Speaker 1: was seven. Do you think in retrospect that you were 281 00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,000 Speaker 1: really too young to be going away to sleep where 282 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,800 Speaker 1: I can No, I was a very independent child. You 283 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:03,840 Speaker 1: went to camp. I think I was eight or nine 284 00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:05,960 Speaker 1: when I first went away to camp. I could not 285 00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:08,720 Speaker 1: have gone to camp for the same reason. I don't 286 00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:10,800 Speaker 1: think I could have walked into an office building and 287 00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:12,880 Speaker 1: like done accounting work. I just don't think I could 288 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:16,760 Speaker 1: have done it, but you were very adult as a 289 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,600 Speaker 1: little boy. Logan. Maybe I could have done the accounting work, 290 00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:23,840 Speaker 1: but I couldn't have gone away to camp. That's very funny, 291 00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:29,440 Speaker 1: look and very true. So there you go. I don't 292 00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:31,119 Speaker 1: think I could have been away from my mother for 293 00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:40,840 Speaker 1: that long that when he didn't tell me, you never 294 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,760 Speaker 1: told me. Came back to chick Camp and Chacob back. 295 00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:47,360 Speaker 1: Those people were so good. And finally this old man 296 00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:50,000 Speaker 1: came up and he scared me to death because I 297 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:52,359 Speaker 1: was sure that he was the head of the s S. 298 00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:56,760 Speaker 1: I was positive, and he was carrying a rabbit, a 299 00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:59,639 Speaker 1: real rabbit. It was a farm, and he put the 300 00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:03,240 Speaker 1: rap in the bed with me, and I finally fell asleep. 301 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:06,399 Speaker 1: I mean he infected them with the chicken pox and 302 00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:12,200 Speaker 1: doing mother that was going out of the war. Can 303 00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:14,439 Speaker 1: I you'd wear a mask. They wouldn't even let you 304 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:18,040 Speaker 1: in the house. Today. You hardly hear about chicken pox anymore. 305 00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:23,240 Speaker 1: Oh you don't. I think we have to stop for 306 00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:26,920 Speaker 1: a commercial, so Poul little Nikki can go out. Should 307 00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:44,160 Speaker 1: have gotten an apartment with a terrorist rita Okay, next up, 308 00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:48,160 Speaker 1: Part four, A little bit of Brightness and I don't 309 00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:54,240 Speaker 1: have a clue what this could be about. So how 310 00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:58,320 Speaker 1: did you meet my grandfather? My mother's cousin belonged to 311 00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:02,080 Speaker 1: some kind of a group in in her temple, and 312 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:05,800 Speaker 1: she had a very good friend there named Mary, and 313 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:09,360 Speaker 1: the two of them decided that I should meet Mary's nephew. 314 00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:13,439 Speaker 1: He called, and I thought he sounded terrible on the phone, 315 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,280 Speaker 1: and I felt I had to go out with him, 316 00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:19,840 Speaker 1: because you know, I couldn't insult my mother's cousin that way. 317 00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:25,040 Speaker 1: What about him sounded terrible? Well, he lived in North Carolina, 318 00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:29,200 Speaker 1: so I figured I was gonna get a Southern gentleman 319 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:35,000 Speaker 1: with a Southern accident. And the phone rang, and well, 320 00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,240 Speaker 1: you know, they live in North Carolina, and he's going 321 00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:40,200 Speaker 1: to call you at eight o'clock. Eight o'clock, the phone rings, 322 00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:46,720 Speaker 1: and I go hello, and he says, why is this Ellie? 323 00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:51,760 Speaker 1: So his early years. I guess we're in New York. 324 00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 1: You know, Peter doesn't get rid of anything. Unfortunately, the 325 00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:57,920 Speaker 1: New York accident was one of the things that he 326 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:03,560 Speaker 1: m and so we went out. He said, you want 327 00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:05,400 Speaker 1: to just ride around a little bit. I said sure, 328 00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:10,560 Speaker 1: and we were driving down Eastern Parkway, and there's a 329 00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:13,560 Speaker 1: an island that goes down the center of Eastern Parkway, 330 00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:17,000 Speaker 1: and right in front of our car was a little 331 00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:21,080 Speaker 1: old couple and the cars were going on either side, 332 00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,679 Speaker 1: and I remember my husband took his car and he 333 00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:28,800 Speaker 1: turned it so that cars couldn't come down until these 334 00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:31,959 Speaker 1: old people got across the street. And I looked at 335 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:36,280 Speaker 1: him and I thought to myself, I'm gonna marry him. 336 00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:41,240 Speaker 1: I did. One of my favorite things to hear about 337 00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:45,560 Speaker 1: is your father and his experiences with the draft during 338 00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:48,000 Speaker 1: the Second World War. Can you tell us about that. 339 00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:52,000 Speaker 1: At those days, they used to have a radio program 340 00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:56,120 Speaker 1: once a week and a judge would pick names out 341 00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:59,840 Speaker 1: of a hat. They would pick numbers, draft numbers, and 342 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:03,040 Speaker 1: those were the men who had drafted. My father was 343 00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:08,400 Speaker 1: never called. Never. About two years after the war was over, 344 00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,720 Speaker 1: we got a phone call from a judge and he 345 00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:14,480 Speaker 1: asked for my father. He says, I was taking some 346 00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:19,560 Speaker 1: suits to give away to goodwill or whatever, and in 347 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:23,000 Speaker 1: the cuff of the suit was this little piece of 348 00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:26,639 Speaker 1: paper and it was your draft number, sir. That was 349 00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:28,680 Speaker 1: the reason my father didn't go to World War two. 350 00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:31,880 Speaker 1: I know my father, who adored him. He had been 351 00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:34,960 Speaker 1: drafted or something horrible had happened, my father would have 352 00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:38,040 Speaker 1: been a different person, and all the men who were 353 00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:43,640 Speaker 1: drawn from that group was sent to the Baton death 354 00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:45,440 Speaker 1: March or something. I mean, it was one of those 355 00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:48,119 Speaker 1: terrible parts of the war. I mean there was there 356 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:56,400 Speaker 1: was something divine that spanned him. I'll tell you what 357 00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:58,800 Speaker 1: my mother did for the war rapid. This is funny, 358 00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:01,400 Speaker 1: my sister and right. She would never cut our hair. 359 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:05,520 Speaker 1: We used to have two long braids, and every morning 360 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:09,000 Speaker 1: before school she'd get up, and we hated it and 361 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:12,680 Speaker 1: we cried, I don't want the brains coming. Well, they 362 00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:18,000 Speaker 1: used to use human hair for certain known special instruments 363 00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:21,680 Speaker 1: or something. My mother, thank god, I shouldn't say thank 364 00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:24,440 Speaker 1: God for the war, but she cut her hands. Fun 365 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:28,479 Speaker 1: it's a terrible thing to say, but we donated our 366 00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:30,960 Speaker 1: hands and the war wrafic all right, thank god I 367 00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:34,600 Speaker 1: found he got rid of those two long brains. I 368 00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:42,000 Speaker 1: want you to know, girls, war, the war. I'll never 369 00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:44,480 Speaker 1: forget that. He just took the car and he put 370 00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:48,800 Speaker 1: it across two lanes that were coming down, and nobody 371 00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:52,400 Speaker 1: could pass until these two little old people scurried across 372 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:56,040 Speaker 1: the street. And now we are those two little old people. 373 00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:03,040 Speaker 1: If we if we could walk right, got to be 374 00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:10,720 Speaker 1: the wall. How can I tell you My first experience 375 00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:13,240 Speaker 1: would Phil, which was who was also a blind date. 376 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:16,879 Speaker 1: He came into my house. I should have I should 377 00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:20,719 Speaker 1: have known them. He was wearing a brown and white 378 00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:25,960 Speaker 1: pinch striped suit but big pin stripe brown, and he 379 00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:30,720 Speaker 1: was wearing blue Swayne shoes with a thick rubb up. 380 00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 1: Hell wasn't in his absence? I said no. The only 381 00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:39,600 Speaker 1: time it made a good pick is when you chose me. 382 00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:43,080 Speaker 1: I used to buy us everything except his pants. I 383 00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:46,520 Speaker 1: couldn't buy him pin paunch, pardon me. He had no tossas, 384 00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:50,480 Speaker 1: so you don't all know what it toss is pant 385 00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:58,639 Speaker 1: for falling down because he had no all Right. Last 386 00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:04,359 Speaker 1: on my list, here's pot five. Family is everything, and 387 00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:11,480 Speaker 1: truer words were never spoken. I think we were young longer. 388 00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:17,360 Speaker 1: Less was expected of us. At an early age. There 389 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:21,720 Speaker 1: was an innocence that doesn't exist today. I think there 390 00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:25,719 Speaker 1: there's an element of countervailing forces there. They think that 391 00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:31,040 Speaker 1: we are less adventurous, perhaps less independent, and we also 392 00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:35,399 Speaker 1: have more responsibility, also have more possibility, and at the 393 00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:38,680 Speaker 1: same time, perhaps our ability to go online has supplanted 394 00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:42,040 Speaker 1: our ability to walk down the street, which is especially 395 00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:44,600 Speaker 1: in this pandemic age, and it's kind of scary to 396 00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:48,440 Speaker 1: some except but it is. Perhaps there are also our reality. 397 00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:50,960 Speaker 1: I will say I'm an old soul, so to some 398 00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:53,640 Speaker 1: degree I possess a nostalgia for a time I never 399 00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:56,040 Speaker 1: lived in. But also I don't have to worry about 400 00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:59,320 Speaker 1: polio these days, so that's a boom. Yeah, but you 401 00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:06,480 Speaker 1: have to worry that COVID. Yes, I do. That's true enough. 402 00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:10,000 Speaker 1: Did you ever expect that your family would be this big? 403 00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:12,720 Speaker 1: I never thought my family would be this big. No. 404 00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:15,399 Speaker 1: Would you say that you have a strong relationship with 405 00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:17,640 Speaker 1: all of your grandchildren and you're proud of where we've 406 00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:21,040 Speaker 1: ended up? You got to be kidding. I love it. 407 00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:24,280 Speaker 1: They all have a charm. And I'm not saying it 408 00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:28,880 Speaker 1: because I'm their grandmother, but of course i am, But 409 00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:32,480 Speaker 1: but they are very charming children. They make me very proud. 410 00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:35,320 Speaker 1: If you wanted to teach us one thing to prioritize 411 00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:37,840 Speaker 1: in life, what would you say? It should be family. 412 00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:40,760 Speaker 1: I want to teach you to love your family and 413 00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:43,200 Speaker 1: to care about your family. And I don't only mean 414 00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:46,880 Speaker 1: your your brothers and sisters and parents, but I mean 415 00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:51,240 Speaker 1: your entire family, because when push comes to shove, it's 416 00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:54,439 Speaker 1: like when Poppy had his accident and I called my 417 00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:59,080 Speaker 1: children and they rallied like nothing I had ever seen. 418 00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:04,199 Speaker 1: It's times like that, the good times everybody wants to 419 00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:07,520 Speaker 1: be in on, but it's times that you need your 420 00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:12,199 Speaker 1: family that it's important to have that connection. That's what 421 00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:15,679 Speaker 1: I would like to to leave you with that Without 422 00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:19,240 Speaker 1: your family, you really have nothing, you know. I think 423 00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:23,960 Speaker 1: that's something that you not only preach, but that you practice. 424 00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:27,280 Speaker 1: It's something that we've seen since day one with you, 425 00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:30,879 Speaker 1: and I think it's something we're all keen to carry 426 00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:33,400 Speaker 1: with us. You know, our familis had some tough moments, 427 00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:36,680 Speaker 1: and I think at those tough moments, under your leadership 428 00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:40,720 Speaker 1: and under your wisdom, we've come together to support each other. 429 00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:51,080 Speaker 1: And that's what it's really all about. I thought that 430 00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:55,520 Speaker 1: was very profound thinking at the end of Logan's it's 431 00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:58,000 Speaker 1: nice to hear what the young people think and how 432 00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:01,159 Speaker 1: they feel about things, but there is a lot on 433 00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:05,159 Speaker 1: the kids heads today and they and they have access 434 00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:09,160 Speaker 1: to more things. That's it, Rada. They have instant access 435 00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:13,119 Speaker 1: to the world. It's true it's true in their hand 436 00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:16,919 Speaker 1: as they walk along, and they never lift their heads up. 437 00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:22,480 Speaker 1: While I was always family oriented and so right or wrong, 438 00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:27,120 Speaker 1: I always say, don't stretch over the little things. Family 439 00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:30,920 Speaker 1: forget it. Everybody's gonna make a little mistake here and there, 440 00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:33,960 Speaker 1: but it's your family, they will be there for you. 441 00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:37,840 Speaker 1: That's my philosophy. It all comes down to all your 442 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:53,440 Speaker 1: nata's love. In junior high school, I had a black 443 00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:57,280 Speaker 1: felt skirt with a poodle on it that really existed, 444 00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:02,360 Speaker 1: and you weren't over crinolins, and the crinelins had to 445 00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:06,440 Speaker 1: be washed in the bathtub in sugar and water so 446 00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:09,680 Speaker 1: that they would stand out. Yeah. Of course occurred to 447 00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:11,280 Speaker 1: me when I was older that I could have had 448 00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:14,160 Speaker 1: ants crawling up my legs from all the sugar in that. 449 00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:17,880 Speaker 1: But then we would take the wet horsehair of slip 450 00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:20,480 Speaker 1: that went under the skirt and we would put it 451 00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:23,600 Speaker 1: over an umbrella, and then we would let it sit 452 00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:27,400 Speaker 1: in the bathtub. I remember so many times hearing my 453 00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:32,400 Speaker 1: father's voice going, Mossy, We're gonna get the damn skirt 454 00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:35,000 Speaker 1: out of the bathtub so I can take a shower. 455 00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:38,280 Speaker 1: Are you kidding? A pudent skirt that I'm wear a 456 00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:42,040 Speaker 1: plute skart. I would look like a pineapple. I can't 457 00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:48,480 Speaker 1: pick it.
