But yeah, she wants to die, but she and you talk to her,
so think about this. Right.She was born in nineteen twenty three.
(07:05):
My grandpa, that's what my bothmy grandma was born ninety twenty three.
Yeah, they both died. Bothdied. Yeah at how old eighty
my grandmother was. My mom's momwas eighty and my dad's mom was ninety

born in Peru. She you know, grows up there, raises a family
(07:27):
there, has three children, getsmarried, all that stuff, has a
career, and then when she's forty, you know, because my grandfather,
his dream was to come to America. That's like my grandmother. But think
about this. She was forty whenshe came to America. My sister was
fifty. Yeah, she came toAmerica. She came to America. She
was here for maybe she was likelike close, she was close to fifty.
She was here for like forty years. Wow, But like it's crazy.
(07:50):
She said, most of her lifein Lebanon. Yeah, half of
her life there and half of herlife here. And you haven't noticed with
you you ever rarely think about yourgrandparents, right, You only known them
when they were old. Yeah,that's it, especially with me because I
feel like my mom was one ofthirteen and she was number eleven, so
like I was a younger grandkid likesome my some of my cousins could be
(08:11):
my mom, like they're like intheir fifties. Yeah. And then my
dad's because my grandmother had him late, even though he was like a normal
age when I was, you know, I was she was like in her
eighties and like seventies when I wasgrowing up. But my parents were only
in their fifties when they became grandgrandparents. Yeah, I'm not going to
be a young grandparent. I'm goingto be an old grandparent. Yeah.
(08:31):
But yeah, my So, mygrandfather's dream was to come here. He
used to read about America in Timemagazine in Peru. So he saved up
some money and he left the familybehind. It was planned out. He
flew here for a year and livedhere, got a job. Yeah,
left his family. Happened with me. My Tito came to America, his
(08:52):
his half sibling, including Quincy.He went to Quinney College, learned English,
got a job as a painter,and then brought them over here.
For the thing they prob They didn'thave the money to bring a whole family
here exactly. So he'd got anapartment in Cambridge, got a job,
and then a year later he broughthis wife and three kids over and then
it was really tough for my dad. My dad had a really, really
tough childhood when he came. Hecame, he was like eleven or twelve.
(09:15):
But when he came here, ourdad sound like the exact same fucking
story. Wow, that's crazy.Well, he didn't speak English, did
mind. Yeah, so there wasa big language barrier. My dad always
says that the best thing was thathe just crossed through into a classroom with
because back then they didn't have likeELA, they didn't have it. They
didn't help you learn English. Youjust had to figure it out. So
they stuck him in a classroom andhe had to learn English, and he
(09:35):
said that was the best way forhim to learn. Yeah. And he
grew up on the streets of Cambridgeand he got into a lot of trouble.
He got in with the wrong crowdand luckily he was able to make
it out. It's crazy that allhis friends are dead. He's like one
friend left. They all died fromdifferent things HIV, wow, drugs.
Yeah, it was crazy. Soyeah, I love talking to older people
(09:56):
and just their life experiences. Nannow, who lives downstairs for me,
you know, has never had alicense. Actually, neither of my grandmothers
did. She doesn't drive. Ohmy god, my SiO didn't have a
license there. Yeah, never hada license, never had a license.
And and she bought her house inMedford for twenty thousand dollars. Oh my
god. Now it's probably worth likea million. It's worth a million.
(10:16):
She's owned it since like nineteen ninetytwo. Okay, fully paid off.
She worked in the cafeteria. Oh, she she paid it off in nineteen
ninety two. Yes, and shepaid off before I was born. Yes,
And and has never borrowed on thehouse. So it's crazy. She
worked at Harvard University in the cafeteriasion. Oh yeah, a Harvard pension and
(10:37):
she worked in the cafeteria. Shewas like a man that supervis so she
died. Yeah, So she retiredin two thousand and eight. She was
a lifelong smoker, like nanny.They were all smoker. Isn't that crazy?
And she retired at sixty six.She sat at home for a year,
retired, ripping butts. And thenshe wanted to quit but she couldn't,
(10:58):
and she fell in her kitchen andshe broke her wrist or something,
went in the hospital for five daysand couldn't smoke. That was her chance.
So she stopped smoking. Hasn't smokedsince. You know. But yeah,
house is paid off, has adope pension. She's loaded, dude.
Now she rents out her house totough students. Yes, so think
about this. Think about this.She owns the house taxes a year.
(11:22):
You know a year quarterly probably liketwo grand quarterly, so eight grand a
year roughly, I thinktually maybe maybea little bit of the house maybe,
But but she gets I think shegets five grand upstairs and she gets three
grand downstairs. A month's eight granda grand a month. Yeah, yeah,
(11:43):
so she's profit. Yeah, she'sdoing she's doing wow yeah damn.
And then how many kids does shehave? She has four kids? She
had five, one died of lungcancer. So when we got married,
actually a lot how we were paidfor the wedding and stuff. You know,
Nannie helped a lot. She workeda lot to help us out.
(12:05):
But her grandmother back in the eighties, when Jen was born, because Jen
was like kind of the golden well, she lived with her whole waskid no
no, no, no, nono, but she lived there when you
live with the grandparent, So whenshe was born, the grandmother remember back
in the day, they had CDEsthings like that you could put money into
and they would make money. Theystill do not, but not as much.
(12:28):
Yeah, she put one some moneyin an account that would that would
you know, make more money.And so it was from when Jen turned
eighteen, right, yeah, butwhen Jen turned eighteen drugs. She was
on drugs and she tried to getthe money and she blocked her from getting
it because she was getting high.Right, So then Jen forgot about it
and just didn't think about it,and then she ended up getting clean all
(12:48):
this stuff. So when we gotmarried, her grandmother was like, come
down, much was it? Itwas a lot? It was like thirty
grand yeah, so she was likewow. She was like, I don't
know if you remember this, butI put money in account. She brought
her to the bank and gave hera check for like thirty grand. Yeah,
I paid for your whole wedding.A lot of my wedding was like
fucking sixty grand. Yeah, sothat helped huge. Yeah, that was
(13:11):

his half sibling, including Quincy.He went to Quinney College, learned English,
got a job as a painter,and then brought them over here.
For the thing they prob They didn'thave the money to bring a whole family
here exactly. So he'd got anapartment in Cambridge, got a job,
and then a year later he broughthis wife and three kids over and then
it was really tough for my dad. My dad had a really, really
tough childhood when he came. Hecame, he was like eleven or twelve.
(09:15):
But when he came here, ourdad sound like the exact same fucking
story. Wow, that's crazy.Well, he didn't speak English, did
mind. Yeah, so there wasa big language barrier. My dad always
says that the best thing was thathe just crossed through into a classroom with
because back then they didn't have likeELA, they didn't have it. They
didn't help you learn English. Youjust had to figure it out. So
they stuck him in a classroom andhe had to learn English, and he
(09:35):
said that was the best way forhim to learn. Yeah. And he
grew up on the streets of Cambridgeand he got into a lot of trouble.
He got in with the wrong crowdand luckily he was able to make
it out. It's crazy that allhis friends are dead. He's like one
friend left. They all died fromdifferent things HIV, wow, drugs.
Yeah, it was crazy. Soyeah, I love talking to older people
(09:56):
and just their life experiences. Nannow, who lives downstairs for me,
you know, has never had alicense. Actually, neither of my grandmothers
did. She doesn't drive. Ohmy god, my SiO didn't have a
license there. Yeah, never hada license, never had a license.
And and she bought her house inMedford for twenty thousand dollars. Oh my

So she stopped smoking. Hasn't smokedsince. You know. But yeah,

Now she rents out her house totough students. Yes, so think
about this. Think about this.She owns the house taxes a year.

eighteen, right, yeah, butwhen Jen turned eighteen drugs. She was
