Speaker 2 (00:22):
Go deer blog.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
So I came across one of my grandpa's old yearbooks
the other day and I did it right.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Like was there like a caption in there, like big
daddy girl put it down.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
That's a great transition because I'm I'm learning I might
need to beat some ass all at my grandma who's
up in heaven. But that's amongst a lot of things
that I noticed. So first of all, thank you for that, Fred,
because yes it is.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Thanks for putting it down. Steve or whatever it was.
Your grandpa's name, I always remember William or.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
Bill William, but boozy Bill was a nickname. I learned
that he has the bill a lot of the yearbook.
So my grandpa was like a play a player, and
I knew he was cute from like old photos. But
my god, Margie, she wrote to my sweetie. Okay, Margie
had to look her up see if she's you know
(01:13):
what she.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Right?
Speaker 3 (01:16):
Well, listen, I'll tell you why. I know if people
are alive or not alive. In a second, based on
this year book, Helen wrote.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
To a real cute boy.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Name a minute, right, and then she signed at fifty
five was the year. It was just filled with thirsty women,
which was the first thing I noticed. And I'm like,
wait a minute, Bill, Goozy Bill. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Second of all, the king of nicknames himself I.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
Did not know was boozy Bill in high school, didn't.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Hear about that.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
And in the most grandparent fashion ever, my grandpa put
an X over the years through everyone who had passed.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Oh my god, he went in there and crossed them
all out, he did.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
And there's different color rip.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
But one of the things he loved to do, which
I'm learning is like a grandparent thing. He would always
have me watch that damn obituary channel every Sunday just.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
To see if any of his friends were in there.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
There's an obituary channel.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Yeah, I'm like basic cable. It plays like funeral music.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
I didn't know this.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
You didn't know that well, because you don't you know
you don't need to watch it yet. But my grandpa
always watched it, and I mean it might have been
daily now that i'm thinking of it, and it was
just you know, instrumental music and just names and people
who passed away.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Kind of be sad when you get to a certain
point in your life where people just like they just
start dying because you're getting old, and then you realize like, oh,
that's that's where I'm headed, right, you know what I mean?
Or maybe as I'm learning as I get older, I'm
very grateful for life. I'm very grateful for health. I'm
grateful for all of it. I can be a curmudgeon
and that's it's kind of an act. I'm actually a
very happy person. But I can see now how people get.
(02:58):
I used to be afraid to die for a lot
of reasons. The older I get, the more I'm like,
I can see how when you get to a certain point,
you're like, did spend a nice run?
Speaker 2 (03:07):
You know, like it's a lot down here on earth?
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Take take take me, Take me home?
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Sleep.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Yeah, those exes weren't you know ones that he conquered
in high school?
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Well, he was crossing the.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
It was.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
There was people who passed away. But it made me
laugh a lot.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
And I mean, it's one thing to learn about your
parents when they were younger, but your damn grandpa, Boozy
Bill was thirty.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
For Boozy Bill.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Boozy Bill and my cousin group chat were all like
what he you know, talking crab about these ladies because you.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Know, we have Virginia's back, got both their souls.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
You know, my grandparents have passed. All of my grandparents
have passed away, so I will never be able to
confirm this. But my grandmother was a good Catholic, so
I suspect. And they got married pretty young. I suspect that.
And I think my first aunt may have been conceived
like their wedding night kind of thing. So my nana
might have been a good one. She might have been
a real one. My grandfather, though he served a little uh,
(04:06):
he served in the I guess it was the some
in the Air Force before it was the Air Force.
I don't know the whole history. It was a brief.
But he was a jazz musician, touring jazz musician. I
think he was a bad boy. Oh yeah, I think
old Fritz had his day. I don't think. I don't
think it was Fritz's first rodeo.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Yeah, Helen, in every city.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
He may have, he may have not. You're Helena.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Wait a minute, she was busy doing her own that's true,
and she got pregnant every time, so.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
That would have been something. Right, Maybe I should do
that thirty three and me or whatever it is, right right, well,
shout out to boozy Billy Bill radio name. I'm Boozybill. Now,
we got bad boy Bill. We got boozy Bill.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
There you go.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
I don't have any Bill in my family at all,
but damn it. I'm by the way. Those of you
asking where you know everyone now wants a hat and
a shirt. I'm very happy for your passion for the
for the program. I am. We are actually working, and
by we I mean Jason is actually, like everything else,
working on a merchandise store.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
Right, Yes, Kalen and I have a little to go
over stuff and hand picking items.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
And this will not be a tailor swift situation.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
This will be high quality merch Oh, I have ideas.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Okayo merch Okay? Good?
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Yeah, no good.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
I'm glad. I'm glad that you guys have teamed up
because you've been so scarred by the tailor swift experience
by having to buy a bunch of just garbage that
we're going to actually have good merch and we're gonna
do it just like Kurt. We're going to release like
limited edition waiting the phones on vinyl. They can only
be played on the vinyl player on cassette tape that
will only be able to be heard on with the cassette.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Tape players sell cassette players, and.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
That's what I'm saying. You'll only be able to hear
them on the cassette tape player that we give you.
Well for a price, of course. So we're working on
we're working on making this stuff like relatively affordable. And
then there's some charitable angle too, right, going to be.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
The cheapest possible, And then it'll be something like we're
not making money on this.
Speaker 5 (06:09):
No, no, no, this is not to make money.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
We should because well we should, Yeah that's Marvin.
Speaker 5 (06:16):
Yeah yeah, but we're not.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
We're not.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
We're not making money and it'll go to pause or
a charity that we care about it we can rotate
the charities.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Yeah, yeah, I like that idea anyway. So we are
working on a place and and you'll be able to
get these things. Maybe this is my first hat. You've
never owned a hat.
Speaker 5 (06:33):
No, you've given me it happen like this is like
my first.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Like, yes, I gave you a game cocks hat. I
don't wear it. You hat, this has cock saw.
