Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, it is Mojo in the morning.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
On a serious note, Kep spent the holidays with his family,
and you said that you kind of noticed a little
bit of a difference with Grandmama.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
Grandmama, this Thanksgiving was the best things given I've had
in probably fifteen years. It was everything I wanted it more,
outside of obviously Josiah being in Atlanta. He had a
great time with his aunt and his cousins and stuff.
We had a great time.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Can I just say something real quick, Can we put
the answers to our Thanksgiving plates up? I am so
tired of getting called out for eating the crap that
the rest of you guys eat.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Please. My plate was fantastic, and everybody knew who Kevin's
plate was. You could see his.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Hands absolutely clear.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
Sorry, Christy knows I like to eat things one at
a time, and oftentimes I don't like those things to touch,
so I didn't have a plate at a veggie plate.
It was sectioned out, okay, but it was incredible.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
Man.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
The family, the food, the fun, the music, all things
were great. But my grandmother, grand Mama is ninety five
years old, and it was so beautiful to see her
up dancing and kicking, and she's mobiles, she does her stretches,
and she's probably listening right now. So I love you, Graham.
But we went to go see Wicked, and dementia is
(01:18):
something that I don't believe that I've had to deal
with in any of my family members or their friends.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
And I don't know the signs.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
I don't know what to look for, but I hear
people talk about it, and it's very prevalent in society.
And when we were at Wicked, my grandmother wanted to
eat popcorn.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
And I love popcorn. Popcorn is its own food group
for me.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
And for many many years, probably ten or fifteen years,
my grandmother has not ate popcorn because of like something
in her throat, something with the popcorn kernels or the
seeds get caught in her throat or in her stomach.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Sick.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
It's a legitimate medical thing that she deals with, and
for years she hasn't eaten popcorn. And this has been
a reason why we go see Wicket. And the first
thing she doing is eating popcorn. When I look over
and I'm like, Grandma, you don't eat popcorn, Like this
is not what you're supposed to be doing. You have
a medical condition. I'm looking at it in her eyes
like Grandma, you're uvula, like they get stuck or something
(02:09):
like that.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
She's like, well, what you're talking about.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
I don't I don't have no medical She like, I
know exactly what I'm doing.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
I love popcorn.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
And I don't know if it's a thing where she's old,
you know what I mean, like ninety five years old,
people forget things.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
She's got a lot of she's lived a hell of
a life.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Yeah, or if it's something more serious and I don't
know what to pay attention to. I don't know if
I should just bring it up to the family. I
don't know if I should brush this off. I don't
know if maybe I'm just webbing being it in my mind.
You see one thing and automatically it's the worst thing
in the world. But I'm like, man, this is is
a bit concerning.
Speaker 5 (02:41):
Is Grandmama, mom's mom, Dad's did you tell.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Your mom my? Mom was there?
Speaker 3 (02:46):
And she was kind of just looking like she was
kind of taking a back by it as well, because
obviously she's aware that this has been a thing for
ten to fifteen years and just for her just to
say no, yeah, and not even really connect that this
is something I have dealt with was like issue.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
But she didn't try to stop her from meeting the
popcorn for meting that's not going to happen, and she
was fine, Yeah, I haven't heard anything since.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
You know, It's it's tough because we have dementia and
Alzheimer's and our family and it starts younger. You know where
My brother in law got it when he was fifty
years old. He was just turning fifty years old. So
it's it's such a difference because you're a fifty year
old guy forgetting things to a ninety five year old
woman forgetting things, you know what I mean. It could
also be she's ninety five years old and she's like,
(03:38):
the hell, I've lived a good life. I don't care
if my popcorn hurts me or whatever the deal is.
I'm going that's not the conversation, though, you know what
I mean to said that she was acting. Yeah, she
made it seem as though this has never been a.
Speaker 5 (03:51):
Part letting you guys kind of I hate that word, yeah,
literally talking about.
Speaker 6 (03:55):
I don't think it's a bad idea to bring this
up to family for that reason, Like has anyone else
known things going on, or just like keep an eye
out for it because I noticed this.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Yeah, I would, I would do that.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
I would talk to your mom about it because it's,
you know, something she spends more time probably with Grandma.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
You brought up all Is there a difference between dimnsha
old Teimer's or is it kind of like just so
Alzheimer's is.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Yes, there is a difference, and I don't know. I'm
not educated enough to know what the difference is. And
maybe somebody else can can talk to us about it,
but it's I will say this to you, like when
my brother in law got to diagnose with it in
the beginning, and it was like he's got this.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
This is really tough.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
You know, he's going to go to doctors and they're
going to try to see there's no cure for it,
you know, and these last few years he's a shell
of himself, you know. And and then they go through
stages too, where they go for forget full stages to
angry stages and stuff like that. But yeah, I don't
know what the difference is, Alex, what's up?
Speaker 6 (04:58):
So I'll say something.
Speaker 7 (05:00):
My grandma had alzheimer and my grandpa did not. It
sounds more like my grandpa, because my grandpat ninety four
years old, had celiac disease.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
He said, couldn't eat gluten. He started eating gluten again, and.
Speaker 7 (05:12):
He picked up a pack of cigarettes and started smoking again.
And I said, Grandpa, go what do you do? And
he goes, I've lived this long. It's realistic that I
don't have much longer. No matter how healthy I am,
I'm going to enjoy the last several years of my life.
Speaker 8 (05:24):
Because I missed smoking and I missed gluten.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
So here it.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Comes, Yeah, what so, but Grandpa had Do you say
he had Alzheimer's?
Speaker 7 (05:34):
Had grandma had alz Grandpa did not?
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Oh, Grandpa was at the point.
Speaker 7 (05:38):
Grandma signs of a lot earlier in life than ninety four.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Well, also he's the caregiver too.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
You know how hard it is for the caregivers of
those that have, you know, Alzheimer's or dementia, which, by
the way.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Is it into what you were saying earlier? All timers,
I always said, I don't know that.
Speaker 9 (05:58):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Like, how did you announced.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
It, alex Alzheimer's alzheimer You said Alzheimer's?
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Is it all.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
I know, like I'm trying to figure out exactly and
we're trying to figure out the difference. Oh that somebody
said that that there isn't a difference in Alzheimer's. It's
a form of dementia. I don't know, is that right?
I don't know, John, what's going on?
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Hi? John Bright? What's up, buddy? Not much?
Speaker 8 (06:33):
Hey, I'm calling the guy about the uh Alzheimer's there.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Yeah, what what should cav do with his grandma?
Speaker 8 (06:42):
Well, Alzheimer's and dementia fall under the same category, and
what it is is dementia is less severe than the Alzheimer's.
My grandmother's had it. Both the women, they both died
of it. One died of dementia and the other one
died of Alzheimer's. Okay, so they're almost the saying just
that one is a lot severe. If it's just dementia,
(07:04):
they can live with it, and with Alzheimers, they can
live the longer they can live like along with it
as well.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Yeah, now we're getting bring what do you think that
keVs should do with his grandma?
Speaker 8 (07:16):
I think he should have her diagnosed. Go see a
doctor and see what a doctor says. In regards to
it and then go from there and bring it up
to the family and talk to them about it.
Speaker 5 (07:29):
Would your is your grandma like a no doctor's type
of person.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Appeals here and there.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Yeah, I just think at this stage, like if I'm
ninety five years old, at that point right there, just
let me live my life, you know.
Speaker 5 (07:42):
What I mean? If I if I'm in Kevsus, I'm
worried that, like if this is tip of the iceberg
and this was a medical.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Thing, what are you going to do that at that point,
I'm just saying I understand the worry.
Speaker 5 (07:55):
So if she's one that you know, would would go
to a doctor's point, like Grandma, let's let's just go
and make sure.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
They make you go through all those tests and everything
like that. I think you need to know if there's
more signs first.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
I think it's I think at some point, does she
live by herself? Maybe she shouldn't live by herself? Would me,
I don't know, Like that's the thing I would I
would figure out. But if I'm ninety five years old
and I've gotten to that to that point, I don't
know if I want to go in and go take
a bunch of tests to figure out what my mental
capabilities are. If I'm ninety five years old, I'm just
(08:27):
going to live my life and have fun. We're all
getting tested, though. What's the downside of it, because it's
not like it's there's anything that you can do, you know,
I don't.
Speaker 5 (08:36):
Know, but at least then the family can be on
higher alert.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
What's up, Jackie, Hi, what's going on?
Speaker 10 (08:49):
I was just going to I heard the question about
like Dimandsia, All, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Let's get off.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
We found out that there's just a form of it.
But what do you think I should do with his grandma?
Speaker 9 (09:02):
What I think you should do?
Speaker 10 (09:04):
I mean if she's ninety five, I mean it doesn't
hurt to I mean testing, there's really no treatment for it.
It progresses, so I mean just it's more about supportive
care and learning how to kind of manage that the
symptoms of Alzheimer's that will come up. I don't know,
(09:25):
it's taking a class to be helpful or you can.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
I ask you a quick question, did you, like, I know,
you just kind of like said something to her, like, Grandma,
what's going on? Did you ask her again about it
later after the movie was.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Overwhe Nah, I've fallen asleep those three.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Hours because I would ask again because then I feel
bad we're bringing it up on the radio and stuff
like that, because I would just ask her again, Hey,
do you remember when you did this? You know you're
not supposed to be in that. What did you know
you were doing that? And just see what's going on?
Because it could just be she's at the movie theater
and she got the smell of popcorn in her.
Speaker 5 (09:56):
You know where you used to go to movies with
your grandma when you were little at that grandma.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
A couple of sounds with that one. But my other
grandma was a movie grandma. Okay.
Speaker 5 (10:04):
The only reason I ask is you also wonder, like,
you know how parents and grandparents will lie because they
don't want to buy you something, so like, oh I
can't have it, so we're not, I don't know, just
bringing some levity to it.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
You always wonder, Jake, what's up?
Speaker 6 (10:17):
Hey?
Speaker 4 (10:18):
My grandfather's a being nam vet and he just passed
away from dementia a couple months ago.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Oh God bless them.
Speaker 4 (10:24):
So I certainly know what dementia is and we've experienced it.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
What do you think keV should do with his grandma?
Speaker 4 (10:32):
I think so. I have a great grandmother who's ninety five,
and she just they just forgets stuff. It's small, the
don common. I don't think it's I know what dementia is.
It's not dementia. She's just you know, she's getting up there,
got a willing Yeah, that's all I think it is.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Yeah, thank you for the call. I appreciate it. Aaron,
what's going on?
Speaker 10 (10:53):
Hey, So, I just.
Speaker 6 (10:54):
Wanted to call because I'm a nurse that specializes in
Jerryatrix with dementia and Alzheimer's, And at this point, there's
no point in taking her to the doctor. They even
if she gets diagnosed with it, there's no medications, there's
no cure. It's a degenerative disorder. And just kind of
keep an eye on it. You know, she's ninety five.
Let her live her life. There's no point in, you know,
(11:16):
doing anything about it. So just keep an eye on it,
and if you know there's a concern, you know, bring
it up to the family. You know, at this point,
if she really had it, she would have been showing
other signs other than just some slight forgetfulness.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
What are some other signs?
Speaker 6 (11:31):
So obviously the forgetfulness changes in behavior. One minute, they're
happy and laughing. In the next minute they get a
little more agitated and irritated. Sometimes they revert back to
like childhood. It's different for everybody.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
That was super That kind of sounds like me.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
I think you need snakers. What about what about cousin Brandy?
Speaker 2 (11:58):
I saw her text here It says Brandy, cousin Brandy here,
call me called Brandy.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
Did you see that Lydia? It was Brandy with you
guys with uh No, she was at Thanksgiving though. Does
she have a take you think?
Speaker 4 (12:11):
And uh?
Speaker 1 (12:11):
I mean she said call.
Speaker 5 (12:12):
Her and grandmama home.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Brandy drove them. Brandy drove them home. That's a good
by the way. Hold on, here's Brandy, Brandy. Hye, Brandy, Hey,
what's brand Good morning?
Speaker 9 (12:25):
I'm just at work list and then like I usually
do what.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
You think, man.
Speaker 9 (12:29):
So the condition she has is called diverticulitis with like
small small seats. I don't think the popcorn will affect it,
but our grandma is going to do what she wanted
to do.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
So yeah, can I can I tell you something? I
have the early signs of diverticulitis, like they told me
that when I got a colonoscope, and uh, they told
me I can't have pop corn like that too, and
ipcorn this weekend.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Yeah, they don't want you to have that.
Speaker 9 (13:07):
Blueberries or things popcorn, but yeah, like strawberry tomatoes, stuff
like that.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Yeah, quick question for you, Brandy, how did you feel
about the fact that Kevin would not drive Mom and
Grandmama that he wanted to get drunk.
Speaker 9 (13:26):
He took them there. I made a deal with him,
and I took my grandma home to turn up untill. Yeah,
and everybody got home.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
I had a good time. I had a good thing.
Speaker 9 (13:39):
Yeah, Kevin agree, that probably was one of our best
Thanksgivings we had in a while.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
I was going to ask you that. Kevin said it
was the best Thanksgiving ever. What made it so great?
Speaker 11 (13:50):
Well, this was the first Thanksgiving without my dad, so
I was kind of in my feelings. But just being
with everybody and seeing everybody it really good for all
of our hearts.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
That's cool, that's neat. And the food was good.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Because I looked at Kevin's plate, it looked like there
wasn't much for anybody else after him.
Speaker 9 (14:09):
Oh, the food was delicious, so yeah, shout out to
everybody that made something I made. The deviled eggs.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Deviled eggs are the greatest. I love eggs, by the way.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
I like Thanksgiving an act a bunch of appetizers like
I like, you know, I like the shrimp cocktail, the
deviled eggs, a little charcouterie board, you know what I mean.
Speaker 9 (14:33):
We had that, We had everything. It was really nice.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
And then I eat so much of that by the
time food comes. Man, oh man, I didn't take my
shot this week, so uh was eggs. I was like,

And I said, Grandpa, go what do you do? And
he goes, I've lived this long. It's realistic that I
don't have much longer. No matter how healthy I am,
I'm going to enjoy the last several years of my life.
Speaker 8 (05:24):
Because I missed smoking and I missed gluten.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
So here it.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Comes, Yeah, what so, but Grandpa had Do you say
he had Alzheimer's?
Speaker 7 (05:34):
Had grandma had alz Grandpa did not?
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Oh, Grandpa was at the point.
Speaker 7 (05:38):
Grandma signs of a lot earlier in life than ninety four.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Well, also he's the caregiver too.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
You know how hard it is for the caregivers of
those that have, you know, Alzheimer's or dementia, which, by
the way.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Is it into what you were saying earlier? All timers,
I always said, I don't know that.
Speaker 9 (05:58):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Like, how did you announced.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
It, alex Alzheimer's alzheimer You said Alzheimer's?
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Is it all.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
I know, like I'm trying to figure out exactly and
we're trying to figure out the difference. Oh that somebody
said that that there isn't a difference in Alzheimer's. It's
a form of dementia. I don't know, is that right?
I don't know, John, what's going on?
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Hi? John Bright? What's up, buddy? Not much?
Speaker 8 (06:33):
Hey, I'm calling the guy about the uh Alzheimer's there.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Yeah, what what should cav do with his grandma?
Speaker 8 (06:42):
Well, Alzheimer's and dementia fall under the same category, and
what it is is dementia is less severe than the Alzheimer's.
My grandmother's had it. Both the women, they both died
of it. One died of dementia and the other one
died of Alzheimer's. Okay, so they're almost the saying just
that one is a lot severe. If it's just dementia,
(07:04):
they can live with it, and with Alzheimers, they can
live the longer they can live like along with it
as well.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Yeah, now we're getting bring what do you think that
keVs should do with his grandma?
Speaker 8 (07:16):
I think he should have her diagnosed. Go see a
doctor and see what a doctor says. In regards to
it and then go from there and bring it up
to the family and talk to them about it.
Speaker 5 (07:29):
Would your is your grandma like a no doctor's type
of person.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Appeals here and there.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Yeah, I just think at this stage, like if I'm
ninety five years old, at that point right there, just
let me live my life, you know.
Speaker 5 (07:42):
What I mean? If I if I'm in Kevsus, I'm
worried that, like if this is tip of the iceberg
and this was a medical.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Thing, what are you going to do that at that point,
I'm just saying I understand the worry.
Speaker 5 (07:55):
So if she's one that you know, would would go
to a doctor's point, like Grandma, let's let's just go
and make sure.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
They make you go through all those tests and everything
like that. I think you need to know if there's
more signs first.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
I think it's I think at some point, does she
live by herself? Maybe she shouldn't live by herself? Would me,
I don't know, Like that's the thing I would I
would figure out. But if I'm ninety five years old
and I've gotten to that to that point, I don't
know if I want to go in and go take
a bunch of tests to figure out what my mental
capabilities are. If I'm ninety five years old, I'm just
(08:27):
going to live my life and have fun. We're all
getting tested, though. What's the downside of it, because it's
not like it's there's anything that you can do, you know,
I don't.
Speaker 5 (08:36):
Know, but at least then the family can be on
higher alert.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
What's up, Jackie, Hi, what's going on?
Speaker 10 (08:49):
I was just going to I heard the question about
like Dimandsia, All, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Let's get off.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
We found out that there's just a form of it.
But what do you think I should do with his grandma?
Speaker 9 (09:02):
What I think you should do?
Speaker 10 (09:04):
I mean if she's ninety five, I mean it doesn't
hurt to I mean testing, there's really no treatment for it.
It progresses, so I mean just it's more about supportive
care and learning how to kind of manage that the
symptoms of Alzheimer's that will come up. I don't know,
(09:25):
it's taking a class to be helpful or you can.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
I ask you a quick question, did you, like, I know,
you just kind of like said something to her, like, Grandma,
what's going on? Did you ask her again about it
later after the movie was.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Overwhe Nah, I've fallen asleep those three.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Hours because I would ask again because then I feel
bad we're bringing it up on the radio and stuff
like that, because I would just ask her again, Hey,
do you remember when you did this? You know you're
not supposed to be in that. What did you know
you were doing that? And just see what's going on?
Because it could just be she's at the movie theater
and she got the smell of popcorn in her.
Speaker 5 (09:56):
You know where you used to go to movies with
your grandma when you were little at that grandma.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
A couple of sounds with that one. But my other
grandma was a movie grandma. Okay.
Speaker 5 (10:04):
The only reason I ask is you also wonder, like,
you know how parents and grandparents will lie because they
don't want to buy you something, so like, oh I
can't have it, so we're not, I don't know, just
bringing some levity to it.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
You always wonder, Jake, what's up?
Speaker 6 (10:17):
Hey?
Speaker 4 (10:18):
My grandfather's a being nam vet and he just passed
away from dementia a couple months ago.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Oh God bless them.
Speaker 4 (10:24):
So I certainly know what dementia is and we've experienced it.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
What do you think keV should do with his grandma?
Speaker 4 (10:32):
I think so. I have a great grandmother who's ninety five,
and she just they just forgets stuff. It's small, the
don common. I don't think it's I know what dementia is.
It's not dementia. She's just you know, she's getting up there,
got a willing Yeah, that's all I think it is.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Yeah, thank you for the call. I appreciate it. Aaron,
what's going on?
Speaker 10 (10:53):
Hey, So, I just.
Speaker 6 (10:54):
Wanted to call because I'm a nurse that specializes in
Jerryatrix with dementia and Alzheimer's, And at this point, there's
no point in taking her to the doctor. They even
if she gets diagnosed with it, there's no medications, there's
no cure. It's a degenerative disorder. And just kind of
keep an eye on it. You know, she's ninety five.
Let her live her life. There's no point in, you know,
(11:16):
doing anything about it. So just keep an eye on it,
and if you know there's a concern, you know, bring
it up to the family. You know, at this point,
if she really had it, she would have been showing
other signs other than just some slight forgetfulness.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
What are some other signs?
Speaker 6 (11:31):
So obviously the forgetfulness changes in behavior. One minute, they're
happy and laughing. In the next minute they get a
little more agitated and irritated. Sometimes they revert back to
like childhood. It's different for everybody.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
That was super That kind of sounds like me.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
I think you need snakers. What about what about cousin Brandy?
Speaker 2 (11:58):
I saw her text here It says Brandy, cousin Brandy here,
call me called Brandy.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
Did you see that Lydia? It was Brandy with you
guys with uh No, she was at Thanksgiving though. Does
she have a take you think?
Speaker 4 (12:11):
And uh?
Speaker 1 (12:11):
I mean she said call.
Speaker 5 (12:12):
Her and grandmama home.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Brandy drove them. Brandy drove them home. That's a good
by the way. Hold on, here's Brandy, Brandy. Hye, Brandy, Hey,

Speaker 9 (12:25):
I'm just at work list and then like I usually
do what.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
You think, man.
Speaker 9 (12:29):
So the condition she has is called diverticulitis with like
small small seats. I don't think the popcorn will affect it,
but our grandma is going to do what she wanted
to do.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
So yeah, can I can I tell you something? I
have the early signs of diverticulitis, like they told me
that when I got a colonoscope, and uh, they told
me I can't have pop corn like that too, and
ipcorn this weekend.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Yeah, they don't want you to have that.
Speaker 9 (13:07):
Blueberries or things popcorn, but yeah, like strawberry tomatoes, stuff
like that.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Yeah, quick question for you, Brandy, how did you feel
about the fact that Kevin would not drive Mom and
Grandmama that he wanted to get drunk.
Speaker 9 (13:26):
He took them there. I made a deal with him,
and I took my grandma home to turn up untill. Yeah,
and everybody got home.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
I had a good time. I had a good thing.
Speaker 9 (13:39):
Yeah, Kevin agree, that probably was one of our best
Thanksgivings we had in a while.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
I was going to ask you that. Kevin said it
was the best Thanksgiving ever. What made it so great?
Speaker 11 (13:50):
Well, this was the first Thanksgiving without my dad, so
I was kind of in my feelings. But just being
with everybody and seeing everybody it really good for all
of our hearts.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
That's cool, that's neat. And the food was good.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Because I looked at Kevin's plate, it looked like there
wasn't much for anybody else after him.
Speaker 9 (14:09):
Oh, the food was delicious, so yeah, shout out to
everybody that made something I made. The deviled eggs.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Deviled eggs are the greatest. I love eggs, by the way.
