got plenty of time to open and you'll have them
for a long time. But yeah, that continues today, and
that's the deal of the day. We think.

Speaker 5 (03:11):
I got a text message from a friend of mine,
says Pat was ready to tell us the color of
the year, and Terry somehow started talking about something. She goes,
I never heard the color of the year. You want
to tell him what the color of the year is.

Speaker 4 (03:22):
Well, I mean he hate that's why he doesn't like white.
And so he picks the color of the year or
those that are selling the most, and it is orange.

Speaker 5 (03:29):
Well, I thought it's orange.

Speaker 6 (03:31):
Orange is a big seller this year.

During Salute to America Heroes event.

Speaker 2 (05:53):
Congratulations, Jill, Oh, thank you so much.

Speaker 5 (05:57):
It was a beautiful picture of you. And Sammy Davis.
Did he did he present that award to you?

Speaker 2 (06:03):
He did? And you know I had invited him to come,
and oh, they were committed somewhere else, and you know,
he speaks all over the country, and so those stinkers
they surprised me and he he came to present that
award to me, and I was just blown away, so.

Speaker 8 (06:20):
Touched, which yeah a lot.

Speaker 6 (06:23):
What does it mean to you? What does it mean?
Do you know?

Speaker 2 (06:26):
I don't I don't do this for awards, But I
tell you what it is what I'm supposed to be doing.
And I know I've touched and saved lives in the
veterans community, and trying to connect people is the main thing.
And and I tell you what, veterans they just need
heard a lot of times, they just need somebody to

(06:46):
listen to them, and so I tried to connect them
with the proper resource and and do that and honor
them and travel the state doing so.

Speaker 8 (06:56):
So it was quite touching.

Speaker 2 (06:59):
To have family there, my friends and colleagues and family.
It was truly wonderful, And the Patriot Fund does such
a wonderful.

Speaker 6 (07:07):
Job, truly.

Speaker 4 (07:09):
Jill's a regent of the Caroline Scott Harrison Chapter of
the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution,
so it helps you understand her appreciation for military. Because
you've got a long line of family that served. When
did you make serving veterans a priority?

Speaker 2 (07:25):
Probably? Well, I was My first husband was a Vietnam veteran,
and we have two boys, and he died in twenty thirteen,
and my dad served, and you know, it just as
in our family. So I was in real estate for
many years, and then when that bubble burst, I decided
to get into the nonprofit sector and there you go.

Speaker 8 (07:47):
The rest is history.

Speaker 4 (07:48):
Your rest is History've made such a difference for so
many years, for so many lives.

Speaker 7 (07:52):
Kylin, you talk about how important it is for connecting people,
and I feel like that's something that you're continuing to
do through all of your work, including through an event
that's coming up this week, talk about this five K
that's coming up on nine to eleven.

Speaker 2 (08:06):
So back in twenty nineteen, I know, Terry, you were
out there with Greg Hess and myself and we started
then and then there was this pandemic thing. So we
resurrected that event last year, and so this is our
second year coming back with Helping Heroes of America and
Indy Veterans. And we'll have our Carolin Scott Harrison chapter

(08:29):
of DAR.

Speaker 8 (08:30):
We'll have a ceremony at six.

Speaker 2 (08:32):
Thirty and Greg will be there and Sacy, he says,
you owe him a hug.

Speaker 6 (08:37):
I do owe him a hug. Blessing.

Speaker 4 (08:38):
He's one of those that from nine to eleven. You know,
he's battled some health issues, probably due to the air
that he was breathing when he was at the at
Ground zero.

Speaker 6 (08:49):
In New York City.

Speaker 4 (08:50):
I would imagine, I don't know if I can confirm
anything like that, but he's been sick.

Speaker 8 (08:54):
He's been through a lot.

Speaker 2 (08:55):
And because he served on Task Force one and of
course then petition to get the beams brought here to Indianapolis,
and we're this is twenty four years since that fateful
day and we like to remember it. And so this
this event, we can you can walk in it, you
can run in it, bring your ruck if you want

(09:18):
a rug. But it's down on the canal basin, very
close to the nine to eleven Memorial. And so we'll
have the firefighters there Station thirteen involved and we'll be
laying a reef and trying to commemorate that day and
the lives lost, and it truly put our country back

(09:39):
in a patriotic remember that feeling. I do you remember
how unified our country was.

Speaker 4 (09:45):
I've said so many times it was. It was the
first time I think I ever really felt that, right.
I mean, Denny, I think you said that too, that.

Speaker 5 (09:51):
I said on the couch that evening. I cried. I thought,
oh my gosh, I got a son's going to go
off the war. And you know that's definitelytism. You felt,
you felt this country we were really united.

Speaker 2 (10:03):
We were It was scary and we didn't know what
the future health and but we've we've banded together, we
united as a community, as a as a country, and
it was truly beautiful. And so this the nine to
eleven five K well we'll help us do that and
remembering now that's a memorial, you know, we invite you
can still sign up nine to eleven five K dot com.

(10:27):
It's it's easy to do, and we just want to
never forget that the lives lost, and just love to
invite anybody out to the ceremony or just observe or
watch the runners.

Speaker 8 (10:41):
That's what I do.

Speaker 2 (10:44):
You know, I like to watch the runners, supporting and
just say good.

Speaker 5 (10:47):
Job, good job, good job. Well you're wearing me out
just watching you.

Speaker 2 (10:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (10:52):
Year later.

Speaker 4 (10:53):
All right, this is Thursday again, September eleventh, as that
marks the twenty fourth anniversary of the terrorist at our nation.
We never want to forget that twenty n and seventy
six people and injured thousands more, ten from right here
that we're born in Indiana lost their lives that day
and right and then I guess we mentioned today many

(11:13):
first responders are still dealing with those health effects from
working in those toxic conditions. So we never want to forget,
and I know you don't either. Nine to eleven five
K dot com if you want to be a part
of it, starts at seven o'clock at the nine to
eleven Memorial on Downtown Canal and if you'd like to
register again nine to eleven five K dot com, Jill,
please go ahead.

Speaker 8 (11:33):
That's right.

Speaker 2 (11:34):
Well, I just wanted to say, you know, as we
were so united as a nation, we have what we
call Constitution Week coming up as well.

Speaker 8 (11:42):
And I didn't know.

Speaker 2 (11:43):
Since nineteen fifty six we've been observing that just as
a nation to make sure we get out and teach
what it needs.

Speaker 8 (11:52):
What does the constitution mean, what does it what does
it say?

Speaker 2 (11:55):
And so we do have a kickoff on September sixteenth
at the Benjamin Harrison Presidential.

Speaker 8 (12:02):
Site at eight thirty in the morning.

Speaker 2 (12:04):
We'll be joined by the Mayor of Indianapolis and other
dignitaries there to.

Speaker 8 (12:09):
Kick off that.

Speaker 2 (12:09):
It's an education week and we'd love to invite anybody
out there too.

Speaker 8 (12:14):
And it's the fonds of.

Speaker 2 (12:16):
Patriotism that we need to completely grasphold of as a
nation as we you know, memorialized nine to eleven and
then remember what it's all about.

Speaker 5 (12:27):
I need, Jill, I need to say thank you to
you for my family. Tommy came home from the Vietnam
War and he told us stories of how those kids
who'd fought over there for years or two years at
least for Tommy's gig. He was a corman and he
said they got spit on the He said, thank you,
but you've changed all that because you were honoring them,
the Indiana Vietnam Vietnam era veterans, and from my family

(12:50):
to you, thank you very much. Tommy needed that.

Speaker 2 (12:53):
Yeah, Jill, thank you many many do and it's truly
my pleasure and thank you me on today and go.

It's the first day ninety three w IBC. Hi everybody,

(13:25):
and welcome. I hope you're having a great, great, great day.
It's Terry Stacey along with Denny Smith and Kylon Tally
is here.

Speaker 6 (13:33):
I saw this this morning.

Speaker 4 (13:33):
I know it has nothing to do with anything other
than if you use an alarm clock.

Speaker 6 (13:37):
I just think this is interesting.

Speaker 4 (13:38):
Denny, this is right up your ally because what do
you think clock right well before alarm clocks? What do
you think we used if you were a city in
the city, oh, daylight, No, before alarm clocks, people.

Speaker 5 (13:51):
Use the town the town chime.

Speaker 6 (13:53):
Or the town person the town cross.

Speaker 4 (13:56):
There were people that were employed to wake up people,
in particular workers, and they did it with a long stick,
and they were called the stick was called a knocker up, knocker,
a knocker up, a knocker upper.

Speaker 5 (14:08):
Because they would be on the second floor.

Speaker 4 (14:10):
They used to be common sights on the streets mostly
in Uh.

Speaker 5 (14:14):
That's not what that, okay. I would just say.

Speaker 7 (14:16):
That we couldn't be saying that these days.

Speaker 4 (14:19):
People when they worked those early locker up right, the
knocker uppers, they used a long, thin pole to wrap
on upper windows. All though soft hammers, rattles, and even
pea shooters were also tools.

Speaker 6 (14:30):
In the tree.

Speaker 5 (14:30):
He put that on his tax return and says occupation.
He said, knock her up forcker upper.

Speaker 6 (14:34):
Yeah wow, And they probably got paid pretty good. How
about that.

Speaker 5 (14:39):
I have even since I was a kid, I always
had the morning paper out, So I've been getting up
at three thirty four o'clock my whole life. I know
you have you would think I was a farmer.

Speaker 4 (14:47):
I know, all right, So if you're coming downtown, I
just want to warn you and you'll probably know, but
it's challenging getting around downtown. Kyla and I had a
sneak peek of all of the foods and experiences. We'll
hear about that in a little bit, but just just
from our track, we decided to drive just to see

(15:08):
what it was like driving on a Thursday morning around
Lucas Oil's day.

Speaker 6 (15:13):
Right, Thursday, no afternoon rush, no anything, no big conventions.
It was a regulars to Lucas Oil. And I worry
for all of you trying to get down here, so.

Speaker 7 (15:24):
Good luck, May the force be with you.

Speaker 4 (15:26):
I think fifty nine said give it an extra hour,
wow to get down if you're actually coming from out
of town, not out of town, but MARYL Interstates Washington Street.
I mean, everything is just a mess. And so we
just bring patients because you're going to need that for sure.
There's a lot of people already downtown Todayati A well.

Speaker 5 (15:48):
Everybody wants to kill somebody about this, So we're me patience.

Speaker 6 (15:52):
Well, we do need more of it, we do.

Speaker 4 (15:55):
And again, as we talked to Jill Fuel just a
few minutes ago nine to eleven dot com. If you
can come down and be a part of that on Thursday,
beginning at seven o'clock.

Speaker 6 (16:07):
Let's see.

Speaker 4 (16:08):
On Monday tomorrow, the Indianapol City County Council will vote
on whether to hold a final public hearing for a
proposed Google data center in Franklin Township. Now, this is
the latest I've heard. Others have said that. I've heard
just people talking and said, no, I think that's over.
I don't think it's over right Monday night. The latest
I see is that they will vote on whether to
hold a final public hearing. So there you go, and Kylin,

(16:34):
We've got to go, don't I.

Speaker 7 (16:35):
We're going to do some more check in with the tailgater.
Just do you think the tailgaters are our time help
with our traffic because they all get here so early
five am, six am.

Speaker 6 (16:45):
I know it does. Do We'll ask.

Speaker 4 (16:48):
Jeff Rickord coming up. We here at Radio one Urban one.
We have got another. We brought back our tailgates. It's
in a cool spot. There's time for you to still
stop by and enjoy the festivities. We will check in
with jeff Rickord from our sisters station the fan coming
up after the news on ninety three WIBC. Hi, everybody, Hey,
we're glad you're here with us on this Colt Sunday

(17:08):
season home opener today one o'clock kickoff at Lucas Oil Stadium,
and we have got our tailgates back this year and
we're in a really cool spot. Joining us on the
phone now is Jeff Rickard, the main host of ninety three.
I've say one of the hosts at ninety three five
and one oh seven five the Fan, our sister station
here in India, along with Kevin Bowen. There's Jeff Rickard,
there's James Boyd. But joining us right now is our

(17:31):
friend from the fan, Jeff Rickard. Hi, Jeff, how are you?

Speaker 3 (17:35):
Good morning, Safty. I don't like James and Kevin here.
You say that, I'll be all kinds of trouble.

Speaker 6 (17:39):
Everything is beautiful. What a beautiful morning, truly for you.

Speaker 4 (17:43):
To be out tailgating at the Slippery Noodle, which is
our location. We're back there and it is a great spot.
What's going on out there.

Speaker 3 (17:51):
It's perfect. There are all kinds of football fans out here,
mostly cult spans, which is good. Even a few Dolphins fans,
and everybody's just having a good time and you know,
drink specials with Neutral and Jack Daniels. But we got
all kinds of games out here. We got the stamdback toss,
we got football throws, we got ping pong games, all

(18:11):
kinds of stuff going on, ire t shirts to give away,
and the parking lot behind the Silvery Noodle is full
of folks right now. And as you said, it is
a perfect day not only for kailgate for football game
today too.

Speaker 5 (18:25):
It's a good day for lubrication too. I saw this,
Jack Daniels and Neutrals. Those are going to be six
dollars seltzers. Anything with Jack is going to be seven dollars.
Mikultra and bud lighte for five seventy five. I mean,
you guys, you're lubricated.

Speaker 3 (18:41):
Yeah, I'm being very good because I have to work
over at the game a little bit more.

Speaker 5 (18:45):
Sure you're good, come on in radio.

Speaker 3 (18:48):
But if you come down here, if you guys come
down here and bring Kylin with you, guys can have
all the lubrication you want.

Speaker 7 (18:55):
Speaking of Kyl, I hear that we got the okay
from the boss Man. Do you talk about community, and
obviously there's been some good vibes with the Dolphins right now,
But what are your thoughts for during the game. You've
guys had your one oh seven five to fan vetting predictions.
How are you feeling for the Colts today?

Speaker 3 (19:15):
I think people are cautiously optimistic about the Colts. So
here's the thing about Daniel Jones, a new quarterback. I
think the thought process being, you know, if he takes
care of the football and doesn't make a lot of mistakes.
You know, Chang Siken talked about him being superior in
order of operations. What does that mean? That means he
gets to the team in the right situations, in the
right sets, the right play calls, and makes the right

(19:37):
reads once the ball is snapped. We know that they
have Jonathan Taylor, who's a potential MVP guy at running back.

Speaker 2 (19:44):
We know they have.

Speaker 3 (19:45):
Terrific wide receivers one through five, and a pretty good
offensive line. So I think the thinking with Daniel Jones
over Anthony Richardson was he might not be his athletic
and the dynamic, but if he just gets the ball
to the people who need to have on time and
in rhythm, that they should be okay. They signed a
couple of big time free agents in the secondary this

(20:07):
year that they're hoping will pay off big. They've drafted
another rookie edge rusher, and so they're hopeful that the
additions that they've made will get them a little bit
further than they were last year. And people forget for
a mediocres the season ended. They were in a playoff
chase for the last two weeks of the year. One
of those teams they were competing with was the Miami Dolphins.

(20:28):
And that's why people think today's game is going to
be so important, because it wouldn't be surprised if these
two teams are in contention for a wild card spot
by the end of the year. So this first game
right out of the gate, being a home game especially,
is really important, not only in the AFC, but just
to get ahead to head win over a team you
might be competing with for a playoff spot down the line.

Speaker 4 (20:47):
I'm very superstitious. And the last time the Colts one
was in twenty thirteen. Nothing that we haven't been talking
about or been hearing.

Speaker 2 (20:54):
On the opening day right opening.

Speaker 6 (20:56):
Day of twenty thirteen.

Speaker 4 (20:58):
Last time, and mind us who did they play?

Speaker 6 (21:01):
Do you remember, Jeff.

Speaker 3 (21:03):
Twenty thirteen was I can't remember, no.

Speaker 6 (21:06):
But I thought you might think that because the way
I said it.

Speaker 4 (21:09):
Raiders Raiders.

Speaker 3 (21:12):
Yeah, I grew up in Denver and all the Coats
have become my team, the Broncss my team. The Raiders
are just out of sight, out of mind. That's just
that horrible other team.

Speaker 4 (21:23):
Well the quarterback at the time, if y'all remember Andrew
Luck and we went on to win the division that year,
lost to the Patriots, But I remember.

Speaker 3 (21:31):
The playoff game, Jeff, But yeah, I remember that. Okay,
look at you, Kerry for the morning.

Speaker 4 (21:37):
It's because well what I'm telling you listen, but I
am concerned about this.

Speaker 6 (21:40):
What why?

Speaker 4 (21:42):
What happens to teams when they have this kind of
a streak? What is it? Is it something?

Speaker 6 (21:47):
Well, what could it possibly be but a curse?

Speaker 4 (21:50):
Right?

Speaker 3 (21:52):
There's really no other logical explanation.

Speaker 6 (21:55):
That's what.

Speaker 5 (21:55):
No other So who put the HOODU on it? Here's
what my take on the team is your luck?

Speaker 6 (22:00):
So somebody after Andrew.

Speaker 5 (22:02):
I think they're humble. I think they're focused, and I
think they mean business. They just there and they're not
over confident. They're just humbled is a curse.

Speaker 8 (22:11):
It's not a curse.

Speaker 4 (22:12):
I think.

Speaker 3 (22:13):
I think it was somewhere in the nether world, a
price to pay from going from Peyton Manning to Andrew Luck.
But then look at how the what thing turned out?

Speaker 7 (22:21):
So I don't know.

Speaker 6 (22:23):
Yeah, you're right, you're right.

Speaker 4 (22:24):
Well, anyway, I'm going to maybe talk to a psychic
later on, and we've got.

Speaker 6 (22:28):
To break the curse.

Speaker 5 (22:29):
She really is talking to a psyche.

Speaker 3 (22:31):
We never get good stuff like this on our morning show.

Speaker 6 (22:36):
Always happy to stop by.

Speaker 4 (22:37):
And if you're all happy to stop by, go and

Terry, thank you so much.

Speaker 4 (23:21):
See you later, Alligator. It's eleven forty one. We've got
Denny coming up next to what you're going to talk about, buddy.

Speaker 5 (23:27):
Mixed generations, sandwich generations. And just remember this term granny
flats and we're not talking about no high heels granny flats.

Speaker 6 (23:37):
That's coming up after the break.

Speaker 4 (23:39):
Ninety three WIBC thirteen percent of people have eaten a
dog biscuit?

Speaker 6 (23:45):
Thirteen excuse me? Are you percent of people have eaten
a dog biscuit? Denny? Have you really Yeah, you've got
a friend, Denny.

Speaker 7 (23:54):
I bet Terry's eating one too.

Speaker 5 (23:55):
I wouldn't need the raw hide thing though.

Speaker 7 (23:57):
Rua her mouth in your miles away from Lucas Oil
Stadium because the construction won't stop.

Speaker 5 (24:04):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (24:05):
Old Denny said, Oh, you've got a friend in Denny.

Speaker 6 (24:10):
Oh yeah, all right, we've got a friend and Danny.

Speaker 5 (24:14):
Here's the statistic. Are you ready, ladies?

Speaker 6 (24:16):
Is it about the dog biscuits?

Speaker 5 (24:17):
Every single day between now and the year twenty thirty
ten thousand Americans are turning sixty five. That's a lot
of people. And pretty soon we're gonna have eighty thousand
people in what we call the middle generation. And so
there's a lot of challenges about housing and affordability, and
because we have a lot of people who are going

(24:37):
to be in their eighties and nineties who are going
to be trying to downsize, and at the same time
they may not be capable of taking care of themselves.
So a couple of years ago, I finished my master's
degree after all these bajillion years, and they assigned me
this task of find out everything you can find out
about granny flats. Have you ever heard of granny flats?
Granny flats is this thing that's taking place in subdivisions

(24:59):
now where they're converting a garage or they're actually building
a second home in the backyard for another generation.

Speaker 6 (25:07):
You can get them on Amazon, you can get them
on Ama.

Speaker 4 (25:09):
You can buy those little places on Amazon, those little homes,
the little house.

Speaker 5 (25:12):
Yeah, but here's the funny part. We think about granny
flats for they used to be called mother in law's
quarters or in laws quarters. Well, look at what your
sister's doing people living in the base. All Right, this
multigenerational thing, I'm going to predict that it's going to
come back. And the reason it's going to come back
is because we're going to have a lot of people
who need help and have money, and there's going to

(25:34):
be the generation that entered the you know, the middle generation,
these eighty thousand you know.

Speaker 6 (25:39):
Middle generations, Sandwich generation guys.

Speaker 5 (25:41):
Right, instead of having three house payments, one for the kids,
one for you, and one for your parents or whoever
it might be, your aunt Janet, whoever it might be,
all of a sudden, there were getting back to what
the Europeans, you know, have traditionally had. But my folks
all came from Germany and they had three, at least
three generations in the same house for decades. And it's

(26:02):
interesting that that's coming to America. But they call them
granny flats. There's some zoning issues that are happening, but
you know.

Speaker 6 (26:08):
Yeah, don't do that to them. Let people build their
granny flats.

Speaker 5 (26:12):
Come on, I mean, this isn't I would think that
that's what's going to happen. But you know, when you
have ten thousand people a day turn in sixty five.
Oh my goodness, that's a lot of birthday cakes. And
there's a lot of fives and sixes you know, that
are going to be gone from the birthday candles.

Speaker 4 (26:26):
Well, and here's the thing, we don't have enough people
that want to care for them. When we talk about
that number, we already have a nursing shortage right. In fact,
there's a nursing job fare that's coming up, I think
with community this week. But it truly is incredible they're
offering I believe here in Indiana now that you can
as a high schooler, you can start taking classes to
get you through the system quicker, to become a nurse faster.

(26:48):
And that's because there is such it's just right we
need them. And nobody wants to care for the elderly.

Speaker 5 (26:55):
This is and how much that costs. Here's the number,
ten thousand dollars a month for elderly healthcare. So the
whole idea of the multigenerational family, not only are you
going to be you know, reading good not moon to
your kids, you might also be reminding your mom to
put her teeth in the glass, you know, yeah, and
have all the families and think about that, the kids
get to hear stories from grandma and grandpa, and it'll

(27:18):
be generational and culturally. I think it'd be really good
for us, but we didn't think it up. I mean,
this has been done for years. The Asian communities have
done this for years.

Speaker 4 (27:26):
I think Italian families too. Perhaps we're living in three
different Jeff Pigeon used to talk about this, that they
would live in different different floors in New York or
everybody you know, they'd buy a town home and then
you'd have grandma on the bottom and everybody on the
and it's how they and what a what a great
family structure that is to me. I think that would

(27:47):
have been fun. I always lived until we moved out
to Knightstown. We had grandma down the street, and we
had our cousins on down the street, and it was
just a great way to grow up in those early
years to have everybody right there. We'd walk down this
to Grandma's house and stay there for a bit.

Speaker 6 (28:02):
I just loved it.

Speaker 5 (28:03):
There's gonna be a lot of family contracts. And this
was really the gist of what I was going to
tell people is that if you're that middle generation, not
only your kids may not launch and so your kids
may stay at home. The evidence shows that kids stay
at home up to age thirty five. And those aren't
just you know, bums living in a basement. These are
kids that they can't afford a new home and they

(28:24):
are going to stay with you. So when they call
you the sandwich generation, which is anywhere from forty to
sixty five or seventy, you know, it's like you're a
peanut butter and jelly sandwich and a panini press. They're
pressing down on you and there's just be ready for
what we call family contracts, contracts with your kids about
if you're going to stay here, these are your responsibilities.

Speaker 4 (28:44):
We old family contracts, I mean actually a legal document.

Speaker 5 (28:47):
Oh absolutely absolutely. The choice is to treat it like
a business and make it family. It's not treat it
like a family and make it a business. Find distinction.
But if your parents are elderly, they probably have accumulated
a lot. You probably have a house to sell, and

(29:08):
where does that money go. Well, if they're going to
be living with you, you know, you might want to make
sure that everybody understands that we're gonna need some of
your money, mom and dad to put this together. And
to your kids, Listen, you can come back here after
college if you get the job and it's not the
greatest job, and you know, I don't have enough money
and you're paying off your student loan debts. Look, we're
gonna do this as a family. But these are the responsibilities. Okay.

(29:29):
Somebody has to tuck grandma and bed at night. Somebody
has to check on her. If we can all take
vacations together, great, If not, then we're gonna have to
chip in here.

Speaker 6 (29:38):
And it's kind of having a contract.

Speaker 5 (29:41):
I would well if nothing else verbal and some thing's
written down. I mean, think about this, you got three generations.
I mean, that's as busy as trying to find shoes
at the O'Hare airport. I mean, you know, everybody takes
off their shoes, they run through, and then it's just
going to be complicated and you just have to treat
it like adults. And you know, I will say this,
all in all, it's a sandwich generation for all of us.

(30:03):
And remember that we're next that we will be the
granny flats of the future. And so what your parents.
My grandma lived with my mom and dad for five
or six years. Yeah, and it wasn't about money. It
was just my dad loved my grandma, I mean my
mom's mother. I mean they were but they were fishing buddies.
You just got to find some common ground because it

(30:24):
may get difficult because of the cost of houses.

Speaker 6 (30:27):
And really that's the challenge.

Speaker 7 (30:28):
But what a beautiful thing, though, is the grandparents can
be there. It does take a village from the beginning
all the way to the end. And if that is
the way to do it.

Speaker 4 (30:38):
So many kids don't know their grandparents these days, or
some or grandparents are actually raising.

Speaker 6 (30:44):
Kids these days.

Speaker 5 (30:45):
That happens more.

Speaker 6 (30:45):
I mean it's one or the other, you.

Speaker 5 (30:48):
Know, but shared it. Don't be afraid to have shared expenses. Okay,
you can have one common account. I mean, think about this.
We have men and women who are not married who
are buying houses together. They're buying property together. There's a
contract there that has to be understood otherwise one partner
is going to do it. So don't be afraid to
talk about the money side of it. But really, one
mortgage payment's better than three. And you don't want to

(31:11):
throw your kids out in the basement generation. I call
them the basement generation. That's not quite fair, but they
came home. They were boomerang kids, and we all deal
with that. But the hard choices that families face, they've
got to be faced with all three generations, because somebody
is going to feel dumped on, and I guarantee you
it will be the one in the middle.

Speaker 6 (31:30):
Middle with the whole middle.

Speaker 5 (31:32):
No, not middle children, middle generation, but.

Speaker 6 (31:35):
They probably built sometimes the middle generation. You wouldn't know anything.

Speaker 5 (31:40):
You know what the middle generation is. Middle generation is
like a subway sandwich with all the meat and stuff
and all the lettuce and all the good on then
without the bread. I mean, we go with a lot
of issues here to deal with and think. But with
grandma at home, you got built in childcare you do?
Is that great?

Speaker 6 (31:57):
It's great. It's great if.

Speaker 7 (31:59):
The expectations are set and understood. Not taking people for granted,
because I've met a lot of families who are like, oh,
they just drop them off and then run away. I
never get time with my daughter anymore.

Speaker 5 (32:10):
And let's give the elderly generation too. I mean, they're
gonna be home. Somebody gets to sign for the Amazon box.
You know you don't have it's it really is. If
we have to do it, we have to do it
and just be willing because again we're gonna I talked
about the colts being humble. Being humble means you recognize
that you're not always going to be as strong and

(32:31):
as virile or as powerful as you are right now.
When you see elderly. I saw a fellow he was
walking his dog, and the dog jumped and the poor
guy fell over, and immediately there was somebody there to
pick him up. But we're going to be the old
guy walking the dog or the cat, and so we're
going to be falling over. So you can't assume that

(32:51):
you're always going to be as strong and powerful as
you are right now. I mean, no, it's the way
of life, and it's just just be open to multigenerational relationship.

Speaker 4 (33:03):
In another in a whole nother note, but this is
just interesting. I read this this week Helen Mirren, actress
Helen Mirren. She lashed out at those that say that
watching older people hold hands is sweet. She didn't like
the way it felt condescending that you think that because
they're older people, you know. Then she didn't like the
way that people treat older people that are still romantically

(33:26):
involved and in touching and kissing in public, and she
didn't like it.

Speaker 5 (33:30):
Oh, I like holding hands. I don't sure I kiss
in public Jane and I, but will hold hands.

Speaker 6 (33:34):
I think it's continue to do that.

Speaker 4 (33:36):
Denny description of it felt condescending that because they're older,
it looked sweet.

Speaker 6 (33:43):
And she didn't like those words you said.

Speaker 5 (33:45):
Her first name was Karen, Helen, Mareen, Karen, Karen, Yeah,
you see, mind your own business, Helen.

Speaker 6 (33:51):
She didn't like it. I love it.

Speaker 4 (33:54):
In fact, it's one of those things that stands out
to me wherever I does.

Speaker 6 (33:57):
People watch it.

Speaker 4 (33:58):
You know, it just makes your heart happy that these
an older couple still holds hands and still has that
great relationship. It appears, and I still think it's sweet.
How do you still hold hands with not as much
as we used to? No, because guess what, everybody's got
a phone in their hands.

Speaker 6 (34:14):
Don't be blaming it on the phone. I'm blaming it
on the phone. But I love that. I love that
that picture.

Speaker 5 (34:20):
I remember when when Andy was a kid, it always
felt like this was Wringling Brothers barm and Bailey Circus
with no intermission. There was always something going on. Well,
you add a third generation to that, like my mom
and dad. Yeah, to Andy's and then Andy. I guess
you could go up to four generations grandkids, kids, you,
and then grandma and grandpa. You could have three to

(34:41):
four generations easy in a home. Just be patient, know
that your day's coming and you're gonna be very, very
grateful if somebody welcomes you into the home.

Speaker 7 (34:49):
And be ready to talk about money.

Speaker 5 (34:54):
That's so scary. Well, you know, there is a lot
of parents that don't want their kids to know how
much money they have.

Speaker 6 (35:00):
Because I never did. I never knew how much money
my parents had it.

Speaker 5 (35:03):
And do you know why? No, they didn't want you
to take advantage of them.

Speaker 4 (35:08):
True, But they didn't talk about politics either. I mean,
we didn't know anything about that kind of stuff. That
was just off the off the are you telling me
to go shut up?

Speaker 6 (35:16):
You saw a minute? Oh you were showing me the
one finger.

Speaker 5 (35:19):
We didn't talk about the figure out the corner of mare.

Speaker 6 (35:21):
I was like, she's holding up the one finger at me.
I don't know what she's saying.

Speaker 5 (35:25):
I don't know how you grew up in that that
type of family. We never talked about politics. All the
politics I.

Speaker 4 (35:29):
Ever learned on the plumbing truck right from everybody else,
but I never heard it from them, and they just
wanted you to decide on their on your own.

Speaker 6 (35:36):
I think truly.

Speaker 5 (35:37):
They were pretty humble about that. Yeah, pretty humble.

Speaker 4 (35:39):
Okay, now we're going to take a break close. We've
got another hour still to come.

Speaker 5 (35:42):
And it's gonna be a Funursday.

Speaker 6 (35:44):
It's a cold Sunday.

Speaker 4 (35:45):
Whatever you're doing, whatever time you can give to us
here on the first day. Thank you, I always forget.
Thank you everybody that's watching us on YouTube. We've got
another hour and the news is next right here on
ninety three WIBC.
