Speaker 1 (00:18):
All right, that was right. Good morning, Good morning everybody.
What a beautiful day it is today, eight two. We're
in August already. You realize that the year is almost gone.
We got about four more months in this year, and
that has been wonderful. Hey, life is good for all
(00:38):
of us. We may think it's bad, but hey, if
you're living, if you're standing up, if you're moving, life
is good. You're doing all right. For there's a lot
of things are not happening that way anyway. I'm the
voice of the Pitsicipal clers. Hello, I'm grandpa, and welcome
to let Grandpa speak. I'm your host, and I love everybody.
(01:00):
I always say that. And the reason for that I
love everybody. You can see I look like love. I'm
one of these glasses because I want to make myself
look like I'm not over the hill and pass away.
You know, as you get older, people think a certain
thing about you. But I'm here to really tell the
(01:20):
people who are fifty plus how to live their life
as they grow older, and be happy and live a
good life, live their best life. Now, that's when you
live your best life. Now they're retired. But most people
don't really want to see that they see people that
I'm broken down. I've been reading articles about people saying
I don't want to be eighty because I'm in pain.
(01:40):
I'm in this, I'm in that. That's why I do
this show to tell you there is a solution to
every problem. It's the problem is most people don't know.
They think, well, I have this, and that's that. I
got that. You can solve all your problems. You could
sell them with your mind. That's how it is done. Now,
(02:05):
we need to live a better life than what we're
all doing. Some seniors are not really doing what they
should do. So that's when I thought about I want
to do this show. I want to tell them how
they can live. I'm ninety five years old, I'm doing good,
doing well. I've got I'm like a sixty year old man.
Anybody can do this. I'm no exceptional person. I'm just
(02:28):
a regular, normal person like everybody else. But I have
a friend this morning that putting let Grandpa speak. I
guess it was on the internet. I saw it on
the show on the internet from nine at twelve o'clock
on the at twelve o'clock on the East Coast, nine
o'clock on the West Coast. I was really proting. The
(02:51):
lady's name is Lilian McDowell. I know her as a friend,
so she put that up there today, and then I
guess she was saying, John, follow them. I don't have
a following. What I do is I do what I do. Uh,
But I don't mind having a having a following. I
don't really care because I think seniors should really realize
(03:12):
that as they get older, nobody cares about them. People
want to kick them to the curve. They don't want
to see them. They got all kinds of issues and problem.
Most of these issues and problems can be solved now.
There are a lot of answers to these problems that
you don't hear ordinarily because who else, who else? You
(03:32):
tell me, who else is standing out there cheerleading, trying
to keep the older people happy and living the best
life that they ever had. Now that they're retired, they're
free to do whatever they want to do. And now
they but they can't do it. Some of them can't
do it. Many of them are doing very well. And
(03:54):
you can make your last days into the last days
of just a good life. And that's what to do.
Live our best lives because these are our last days
in life. You have to know how to do it,
and somebody's got to get out there and tell you.
And that's what I decided I would do. I said,
I'll tell them so I teach wisdom and common sense.
(04:14):
That's all. It's just. Everybody has it. Wisdom and common sense.
That that's all it does. Now, I had a I
wrote out, I write my show out. Every week. I
wrote out something else, but that was That's not what
I'm talking about. I'm not used, I'm not using my script,
and I'm just talking from my heart. That's what I'm
(04:37):
talking from my heart. I want to just tell people
that whatever you're doing, whatever you suffer, there's a solution.
You don't know the solution because people are not interested
in telling older people how to live a good life
because they think their future is questionable. You think it's
questionable that they may not even live. You're gonna live
(04:59):
as long you want to live. That's what I believe. Now,
you can believe whatever you want to believe, but that's
what I believe. So believing is very good if you
believe in what's good. So believe in what's good and
reject the self that is bad. Stop thinking that. Because
you thinking that I'm over the hill and I'm just
(05:19):
that and the other and I can't make it and
all lah, my legs are hurting me or this, that
and the other. You are gonna that's where you're gonna be.
What you need to do is say, look, my knees
on my legs is hurting. I need a solution. I
need to find some way to help me. I'll go
talk to my doctor. If my doctor can't help me,
there are other sources of information. We got a lot
(05:42):
of great programs for seniors that will help them to
live alone. I've had a bone, bone on bone in
my knees for thirty years. I went to the doctor.
It was over thirty years ago that he told me, said,
you got bone on the bone and I need to
operate on you. And I say no, I don't want
(06:04):
an operation. And I didn't take one, and I haven't
taken one even till today. But I've been able to
live with that need. It's fine. Sometimes it hurts, sometimes
it get out of there, but it's never been bad
enough for me to want to get it an operation.
And I'm not talking about people who get operation. Get
an operation if you want one. I was just telling
(06:24):
you my experience because I'm trying to tell you how
I think and how you could think. Use a lot
of common sense and a lot of wisdom to solve
your problem. And that's what it is. We don't understand
how we problems. Most of us think that somebody else
is to blame for our condition, or somebody else's did
(06:46):
this or didn't do that, or whatever you know, or
the president or we name people. Its just he goes
on and on and on. But it's you and you
can do it. And if you listen to this show,
We're going to tell you a lot of good stuff.
I'll tell you how to stay healthy. I'll tell you
how to be alert, and how to keep your memory
and everything going for you. I'll tell you how to
(07:08):
be active, how to move, And one of the main
things I teach you is that keep moving. Don't just
sit down there and don't do nothing. If even if
you're tired, sit down, get up every fifty minutes. If
you're really tired and you don't have any energy, take
a brisk walk. These are some of the things that
nobody tell you because everybody haven't gotten it haven't They
(07:31):
haven't been older, or they haven't gotten older, so they
don't know these issues. They may not know these problems.
So do that and keep anger away from you. Never
stress yourself. If you get to be a certain aid,
you don't have to stress yourself about the little problems.
The problems that you get mad about or angry about.
(07:51):
It is not a problem anyway. I didn't get this.
Oh they didn't do that. You know, you're not a
spoiled kid anymore. You understand all those things. You don't
get angry with the whole world because you messed up
your life, and your life is based upon your choices.
You must realize that, and we have to realize that too.
(08:13):
But anyway, I love everybody, and I love everybody because
I was taught that way. My grandmother, who couldn't read
or write, taught us all five of my siblings, of
we all five of us a siblings, how to love everybody.
When you love everybody, you take a load off yourself.
I'm not going up and down the street telling that aboy,
(08:34):
I love you, I love you, ILL love you know.
I just said that. I know that there's energy coming
from me. There's energy coming from everybody. We're all on vibrations.
We don't know that early. We didn't know that earlier,
but now we know through science and other studies that
we are vibrating. The whole world is vibrating. These are
the things that we need to know and the things
that we have not been told to make our life better.
(08:59):
The thing about it is we are in charge of it.
Whatever happens to us. We are the ones that's guiding
our lives. Maybe somebody else is in there too, because
a lot of time we have people who want to
brainwash other people, and they will tell them all kind
of things, whatever they can do to their advantage. So
(09:21):
long as they getting an advantage, they'll tell you whatever.
But I'm not gonna do that. I just tell you
the truth. And that's what I say. Common sense. Common
sense is real. Everybody has it. All I'm doing is
making you aware of it. You know it. It'll come,
It'll come out with you anyway. Let me say this much.
The most successful people in the world have high morals.
(09:45):
Now you may not believe that. Most people think that, oh,
the most successful people stole they robbed it. Non not.
That's not true. The most successful people have high morals,
and so we all need to have those high morals
because it helps us to grow and it helps us
to be the best we can. You enriching yourself, not
(10:05):
the world. Some of us think we come here and
we're doing everything for the world. Were changing the world. No,
you're not. You can only change yourself. So realize that.
Every week I'm on here on Saturday, I'm on this show,
and I tell you a lot of things. Now, normally
i'll tell you things that are different. This week, I'm
(10:27):
just gonna have fun. I want to talk about things
of a nostalia, things that we don't have anymore, things
that are not available to us, but things that we
really enjoyed and had fun with when it was when
we did have it, you know. And like I said,
my grandmother she was not a rich person, but she
had an insight. And I think because she couldn't read
(10:50):
and write, she never got into a certain mindset. And
because she couldn't read it right, she was figuring the
things out for herself. She was just I guess early
she was a slave, She was a slave child, and
she was born in slavery eighteen I think she was
born eight about eighteen eighty six or something like that,
(11:12):
somewhere around it. We didn't know. We know it was
somewhere around that because back in those days they didn't
have birth certificates for those people slaves did, weren't weren't listed,
weren't recorded. Their life was not recorded at the office
downtown or whatever it was, or if it was, it
wasn't recorded in a proper way whatever. So we don't
know exactly what her birthday was. But she was the
(11:35):
cause of me now and gave me the inspiration to
teach people come on sense and we all know common sense.
Some people call it mother withit, you know, I noticed
because the mother with but mother with In our country,
we do a lot of things here in the country
that has to do with freedom. We let you do this,
(11:55):
We'll let you make these certain decisions. A lot of
times people make weird decisions uh in their life, and
it is the wrong decision, and so we need to
realize that and stop thinking in the terms of making
bad decisions when we could be making a good decision.
(12:17):
Think good is what my point is. Now, think good.
If people think good, a lot of the bad stuff
just go away because you're thinking good. But if you're
thinking bad? What else is on your mind? What else
is in your life? And those are the things that
our teach has coming since com on, Since is the
(12:38):
realize I have a problem, I can solve the problem.
They will, They will go out and and and and
maybe attack other people. Some people attack other people for
their own problem over and over again. But we don't
have any problems when we face them. They just go away,
They just fade away. Throw it out of your mind,
(13:00):
don't let it be there. I'll tell you this is
This is the secret to us living, And the secret
to us living is that we have a lot of
power within ourselves and we can solve most of the
problems in ourselves. But love can solve your problems as well.
(13:20):
So wake up and realize stop hating any money, don't
get into the problems with that. Give them love, Thank love.
Even though all the people you think are wrong, give
them some love, Give them some love. Love is a
good thing. Love, as a song said, love will conquer
hate if it needs to be conquered. Well, that's what
(13:41):
I am, and that's what I think about, and that's
what I do each week. So I want to say,
I want to say or what do I want to say.
I just want to say that I think you should
pay attention, listen to the show often, and I think
you'll be fine and living Today we're going to talk
about nostalgia things and I'll be right back and won't
(14:06):

little fun today. We won't be talking about anything serious,

Speaker 1 (18:12):
Hey, all right, we're back here again. We're gonna have
a little fun now today Today is our fun day.
You know, I did this show according to some information
that I received. I did this show on this same
date two years ago, so I'm back here doing it again. Anyway,
We're going to talk about nostalgia. You ever think about
(18:34):
some of the things that you don't have, but a
lot of them. I forgot all the things that we
didn't have, but I can remember them when if somebody
bring them up. But every once in a while, I
think about some of the things that we didn't have.
And I'm going to start with the things that I
had or enjoyed as a child, as a kid growing up.
And one of the things that I remember is candy.
(19:00):
Candy used to be a big thing when I was
a kid. A lot of kids ate so much of
it they were rotting their teeth out. It kidded. But
candy you had, if you remember, like peppermint, you could
buy it for a penny, or you can have penny candy.
You could take a penny and go down and get
quite a bit of candy for one cent. They don't
(19:21):
have that anymore. They had batsuckers, black cow suckers. You
could suck on them all day long, and when you
got through, sucker used to wrap them up in a
napkin and sleep with it under your pillow because you
didn't want somebody else to get your sucker. If you had, boy,
if you had if you had siblings, and laid that
sucker down and they see that, well, I don't mean
(19:42):
sucker like a person. I mean sucker like candy. There
was a cat on stick, That's what I'm talking about.
That the sucker I'm talking about. Anyway, if you laid
it down, some other kid would take it up and
eat it, and you be disappointed. Where's my candy? Somebody
took my candy? You know. That was one of the
things that we had. We don't have that anymore. Kids
(20:03):
don't even worry about that anymore. I don't know if
kids even have candy that that's directed for children, but
that's what that was about. They had candy cigarettes. You know,
you could smoke those things. And what about soda pop
r Sea Cola? Anybody remember our Sea Cola and knee
High Cola. You had a big bottle of soda pop
(20:23):
you could get for a nickel or or maybe a
quarter or something. And the next thing I want to
talk about that you may not remember, and that was
green stamps. Anybody you know how you would collect You know,
it's like you get a refund on what you spend
on your credit card today or your debit card. Well,
(20:44):
back in the day, we used to have green stamps.
You're going and we buy something and they would give
you green stamps. And we don't have that anymore. And
if you, if you're a kid, you remember these shoes
pere flyers. You remember that. Hey, we were all over
the place and bust brown shoes. That's what we did
back there. That was some of the things that we
(21:04):
don't have anymore. Or marbles, What about marbles. I used
to have a bag full of marbles I got. I
would go to go find where kids are shooting marbles.
They would make a big round circle in the ground
in the sand and we'd smooth it out and everything,
and we would play marbles. We were shooting marbles. I
(21:25):
don't think kids even shooting marbles anymore. As a matter
of fact, that was a sport one time. Because I
remember when Pee Wee Reese he played football, I mean
he played baseball. He was a baseball player. I think
he played for the Dodgers at that time. He won
the championship for the marble tournament. They had a marble tournament.
He was a winner for that. You know, I was
(21:48):
never that good, but hey, I did play marbles and
I did. And what about something else? Is the thing
that we don't have paper airplanes. You remember paper airplanes.
You'd go in the store and buy your airplane, and
you come home and put it together and you go
to the park and fly your airplanes. That was fun.
That was something we would do. And kids were different
(22:10):
back in the day when I was a kid, kids
will had things to do. Especially back on Saturday, kids
would be selling seeds. You remember that, they'd be selling
all kinds of seeds for flowers and for vegetables. You
want to have in your yard. They would come to
your house, knock on your door and say we're selling seeds,
and everybody say, well, I'm wanna buy. They would buy
(22:31):
the seeds. They were very reasonable and cheap. You know, well,
I did what my family did. We would order baby chickens.
Now I know that sounds a little different. You would
order baby chickens and the chicks would come. They were
cute little chicken. They would be yellow and everything, and
they bring them you could. They would put them in
(22:52):
the mail and you would get them and you would
raise them as chickens if you wanted to. Sometimes you
would lose a lot of them. But you were saying,
but if you remember, I remember that. I don't. Maybe
everybody don't remember it, but you would. We were raising chicken.
So we raised the chicken in our yard. And naturally,
when they got to be fried, as my grandmother would
cook them, and we said, don't cook the chicken, that's mine.
(23:16):
Nobody wanted somebody to cook the chicken because you had
gotten that was your chickens, your like your friend. So
you didn't want to do that anyway. Another thing that
I missed that I think about sometimes is that we
used to walk around kind of nervous, and they had
what they call fallout shelters, and these shelters were in
(23:36):
case somebody would drop the atomic bomb and the fallout
would come, so you they would have different shelters. When
you walk down the street your self, you see a
big sign saying fallout shelter. Now, if something happened, that's
where you would go. I don't see that anymore. Nobody
that I noticed have those signs. Maybe they have them
signed somewhere, but they don't have that anymore. Anyway. I
(24:00):
remember that these are all the things that somehow that
have gotten away from us, and we don't need. Well,
we don't even miss them. I don't think. We don't
even think about it because our life is changed and
we go through everything changes. What about all the stories
when you heard the story, how did it start? Once
upon a time, Once upon a time, there was this,
(24:23):
and there was that. All stories started with that. You
don't do that anymore. That's changed. So all those things
they've had for children are seen to be gone. And
I guess they've gotten rid of some of the public
broadcasting companies. Big Bird is gone, so you can go
to other places and get all that you know on
the internet all that. So it's not as if it's
(24:44):
not available to you anymore. It's just not available the
way that used to be. And I know something that
the men will love. Back in the day, well I
don't know if they I don't know if I should
say it like that. But back in the day, they
had what they call hot pants. Remember when summer came,
women would be wearing hot pants, and boy they were hot.
(25:09):
They were really really tight as fall. But it's not
as I think it. I think spandex that we're wearing
nowadays is a little bit more, a little bit more
brazen than hot pants was. Hot Pans was something we
got used to it, and you know, it wasn't the
at least for me. I never thought about it being
(25:30):
any big bad thing or whatever. But hot pants, we
don't have that anymore. We don't have standard oil. You remember,
Standing Oil used to be the biggest oil company in
the country, so you hardly ever see that anymore. Or
ethyl gas. Ethyl gas is gone. And what I really
missed and think about a lot of time was the milkman.
(25:53):
Early in the morning all over America. Milkman used to
be out at five o'clock in the morning delivering milk,
and we got five We got four quarts of milk.
I think we got one milk, one chocolate milk, one
orange juice milk, and one butter milk. Those the milks
(26:15):
that we got. I don't know if you remember that
or abada milk man would be out making all kinds
of noise like the garbage man do nowadays. And that
that's gone. We don't have that anymore. I don't I
didn't realize all the things that we don't have like this,
so that's even a lot more. One of the main
(26:37):
things that I noticed that we used to get was
that a payphone. There were payphones on every corner, so
if you got any kind of problem or whatever. If
some of them were nickel, they were a diamond, and
they went up to a quarter. They just kept, you know,
the price kept going up. But used to have a payphones.
I don't see any payphones anymore. I guess because everybody
(27:00):
has a cell phone. Everybody has their own phone that
they carry around. Kids and everything else carry a phone.
And these children are really good with that. They they know,
they know how to do a cell phone much much
more than I do, and much more. They know how
to get on it. I was I was watching my granddaughter,
(27:21):
I think she's about three years old, and she asked
her mom, saying, Mom, give me any phone, give men
the phone, give any phone. So the late my uh,
my grand daughter, gave her the phone and she took
the phone and she was clicking on it like she
know what she was doing. So me, I asked my granddaughter,
(27:43):
I said, your baby, does she know how to use
that phone? I know she don't know her ABC's. She
she said, yeah, she knows how to use it. So
I thought that was amazing. I said, she don't even
need to have her ABC's, she don't need to know
what one and two is or whatever. But she's able
to operate that phone and go where she want to
go and play the game that she wants to play.
(28:04):
And she's three years old. I said, boy, this much.
The children must be born into this or not. But
we don't have to pay phone anymore. We've got the
cell phone and we are having a wonderful time with it.
It's great. What about water fountains? You remember water fountains.
Water fountains used to be almost some almost everywhere you
(28:27):
can walk down the street if you want to drink
the water, there's a water fountain. Where's the water fountain?
Then finally get water. Nowadays you don't do that, not
even that. You can't even hardly drink the water in
your house anymore. I made I made a lecture about
that and I put it on YouTube. You can go
(28:47):
on there, go on to YouTube and put it in
my name William McLeod and you'll see what I talk
about the water, because I say, we pay for the water,
but we can't drink it. We cannot drink that water.
Be careful drinking the water. They tell you, whatever you
do drink, do not drink the water. Some of them
say they got PFA ass in it. I don't know
what that is, but it's a chemical we shouldn't have.
(29:09):
It has chrome in it, it has mercury in it.
So I don't know how they can justify that, uh,
serving us water water coming into your home with all
of those problems. I think these are something. This is
something that's gone, but it might be something that we
need to bring back, and that is good, clean, non
(29:29):
toxic water for us all to drink. Or you know
what I'm saying, now, anyway, you remember the ten cent store.
You could go to the ten cent store, and boy
was that was the other day. You could buy a
lot of different little stuff, a lot of most of
the toys in those days, little bitty toys, small, we'll
come from Japan, it will say made in Japan with
(29:53):
tin and all that's gone. We don't have that doing.
The ice cream man has gone. I loved it when
I would ice cream man would come down the street,
dingle ling, dingle ling, dingle ling, making all that noise.
You remember that ice cream man, and you would have
to have a nickel or a quarter or whatever, fifty
(30:15):
whatever it was to get some ice cream. And when
he would come, he was parking the street and that
music would keep going, yeah, and mam mama, and you
just couldn't annoy it. You had to say, Mama, need
a nickel, Mama, need this, give me some money. I
could need to grot me some ice cream. And that
was the ice cream And we don't have the ice
cream Man in the street no more, which kids love
(30:36):
because they would coaching. They would sign around that truck.
It was really great and they really didn't What about
a phonograph record. I remember phonograph records, but from back
when they had the machine, they used to wind it
up and then they got so sophisticated they became a stereo.
But enemy you can get a lot of beautiful music
from it too. I don't know if they still do that.
(31:00):
We don't. I don't think I see a lot of
people paying phonographs anymore. I think we used mostly a
digital music. Now those are gone. So and remember we
used to have to iron our clothes. You remember that
when back in the day you had to iron when
you get through washing the clothes, you had to iron
all of them. Well, I don't see that anymore. We
(31:21):
don't iron it. So I know, I do my own laundry,
and when I finished doing my laundry, I just fold
the clothes up and I don't worry about the wrinkles
in it.
Speaker 6 (31:31):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
They used it fall out and it used to work okay.
But back in the day used to have a lot
of wrinkles. So that's for that was What about coughs sirt?
Remember cough sirt when when it wasn't COVID back in
the day, it was a flu or a cold. And
it's sort of the same thing when I see people
(31:53):
catch what they call COVID. Now it's just it's the
same thing as a flu or cold or something like that.
So we don't have cough serpent anymore. We don't have
cough cold medicine that they sell hardy anymore. People just
don't get into that anymore. We go to the doctor
and get a pilled. We get all kinds of pills
and this, that and the other, you know, and we
(32:14):
have I don't know if that's good or whatever it is,
but we don't have that anymore in the society. And
what about this. This is a culture thing here, and
I just want to talk about it because it would
it let something back in the day when we did this,
and that is the family Sunday dinner that's gone. But
(32:37):
back in the day, your family, most of your relatives
would come to one house another because they would be
having dinner there that day. I remember getting up early
in the morning and the day on Sunday, getting everything ready.
All the people would come in. You have a big
family Sunday dinner. I don't know if people do that anymore.
(33:02):
I don't see it, but I don't have. My family's
all been or not here anymore. They've all been passed away.
I guess I'm the last one in my family to
be living. But they I don't think anybody. I never
noticed anybody saying we're going to for mama's house, or
we're going to my sister's house, or somebody for dinner
(33:23):
on Sunday. Where do we get out dinner on Sunday?
We go out, I guess to a restaurant or something
like that. But we used to cook. People don't cook anymore.
I remember from back in the day, people stopped stop
learning to cook. But when I went to school, they
had are class that for girls, domestic class. Were taught
(33:43):
them how to cook, taught them how to sew, all
kinds of things they used to do. But they don't
do that anymore. But those things were important because it
gave us a chance. We had a chance as a
kid to grow and to do things. I can remember
how I made my money. I would say glass bottles.
You would say bottles and things like that, and that's
(34:05):
how you would make a little money to go to
the movie on the weekend. I don't know if kids
can do that anymore. They asked their mother for an
allowance that came around, I can't do all this stuff,
so I get an allowance. So I guess now they
still get an allowance. And I don't know if that's
totally good for children. But I learned how to earn money,
and I learned that that's how you get money. You
(34:27):
get money by applying yourself, and I think that's what
that was about. But anyway, I pass over to Sunday dinner.
Like I said, I don't know what happened to that,
but I know I had a good time on Sunday
dinners because they would cook all kinds of good stuff
and sweets and pies and it was nice. As a kid.
(34:48):
That's gone argon grinder? Who's that coming down the street?
Look at argon grinder, Pete, He's the latest rhythm thing
and and got that really don swing roll on? You
remember that? You don't remember that? Anyway? He used to
have an organ grinder that came through the neighborhood with
a monkey on the grinder, and the little monkey would
(35:12):
jump up and down. He was on a chain and
everything do with and kids used to love that. That
don't happen anymore. I don't see any argon grinders coming
down the street, and the argon grinder. Would he would
take money, you know, you'd give him money, and all
that that's gone. Neighborhoods are just not the same anymore.
(35:32):
Everybody's running afraid. Our children are not safe. And this
is you know, we've got some changes and we've got
a lot of things that are gone. But some of
those things are were good. They weren't bad. We didn't
necessarily replace it with something good and wish as things
go by. If you want to change things, always remember this.
(35:55):
Find a solution to change to something better. Every time
you want to change something, change to something better. And
that's to take your time to do that. All right.
Then we had the junk man I told you about save.
I used to save iron. If I find a piece
of metal, I would save that. If I find, like
(36:15):
I say, I saved glass. I had a bushel basket
of glass. Every time the junk man would come along,
dangle ing, dangle lang junk man and run outside and
catch them. Hold it. I got something for you. And
he would give you maybe thirty or forty cent for
a bushel of glass, and he sometimes they would want
(36:36):
you to break it up. Sometimes they would take the
bottles if they had a lot marked on every they
working five cents. You could sell soda pop bottles for
five cents if you needed money to go by do whateverthing.
And we used to. It's called like a little hustle
for kids. And if you were a poor kid, you
knew all about that. Anyway, that's gone. That's gone. You
(36:59):
don't have that. And another thing that they don't have
that we may not think about very much, and that
is cars. Back in the day, they had a lot
of different brand of cars that we don't have anymore.
There was like the Sodo, a soda was a car
(37:19):
that people bought. There was a packet if you remember Murmur,
the packet packet automobile. There was a Lossar. There was
a Kaiser. Kaiser made a car they sell that. There
was Nash and there was Hudson. There was an Oldsmobile.
There was a Pontiac. All of that is gone, and
(37:41):
I'm probably missing some of the cars. There's so many
of the different ones of them. I'm probably missing some
of them. But the main thing I used to love
most of all that most kids used to love it
and really enjoy it, and that was a coney cone.
A was a hot dog with chili on it. You
don't even hear that anymore. Going to get me a
kone that's out, that's dead, you don't hear that no more.
(38:05):
And for kids, as you grow older, the main thing
that kids used to do is go to what they
call a soda fountain. Now, the soda fountain was sometimes
within a drug store, sometimes it stood alone. It was
like an ice cream place, and they would have a
soda fountain. When you went to the soda fountain, you
could get all kinds of stuff that you love, and
(38:28):
that love we had. They had ice cream floats, they
had malts, they had milkshakes, You had all that kind
of stuff like that, and all the kids used to
hang around. If you want to be in the know,
if you want to be around the kids, and they
I don't know if that happened everywhere across but where
I and I lived in Ohio, and that's what we did.
(38:51):
We would go down to the soda fountain and hang out,
hang out there, spend the day there buying you you know,
if you could do whatever. Kids would just be playing
with each other or whatever. If you didn't go and
do some kind of sport. But we all played sports
back in the day. I guess kids. I don't know
if kids played sports like that today. I don't have
(39:14):
any children, so and I live in a fifty place
fifty five plus neighborhood, so I don't really know or
see a lot of children that I used to see
before playing together. We used to get together. Hey, we
got a boy baseball game, come on over, and you
would choose team, and you if you had a guy
who couldn't play, I don't want him, I don't want him,
(39:37):
but he would he would get a chance to play
on one of the teams, and we didn't want him
because so you try to pick the best players for
your team so you would win the game. We would
play that. Basketball was handled that way. Baseball was handled
that way. Now tennis, I played a lot of tennis
as as a kid, and it was like a sing
(40:00):
no thing that you did. I love to play it though,
I like tennis, but we did. We did stuff like that.
I think all those things learned us how to have
a different attitude toward each other. I don't think kids
ever harmed each other back in the day that I
can remember. We didn't like today they are they'll get
a gun or whatever. It is and they are or
(40:21):
did something wrong him, they'll get a gun or whatever
it is and then go back and shoot the other kids.
So something that is not a miss. With that, all
these things that we have that were missing seemed to
set a tone for our minds. It seemed to gave
us more freedom, more friendliness.
Speaker 6 (40:40):
More.
Speaker 1 (40:42):
Dealing with people. I don't all these things are gone
from now, and I'm not sure we deal with each
other like we did back in those days. We knew
each other, we had we were friends with even the
people we didn't want friends, but we still know them
and we got along with even though you didn't like them.
(41:02):
That is gone. People nowadays they get serious about you
in a certain way. Is I think about that? Okay,
what about the street car? Did you have a street car?
We had the street cars in our neighborhood and on
Sundays for fifty cent you could get us pass and
you could ride a street cars wherever you all day long.
(41:24):
With that pass. All you got to do is show
that pass and to the conductor and you and you
could ride as much as you wanted. So if you
if you want to see that, I've never been to
this place. I've never been to this town, and the
street cars would be going to those towns. So he said, well,
I'm gonna go over here today and something. You could
(41:45):
go to the lake, you could go to the parks.
You could go to places where where there were people
having fun or whatever it was on the street car.
And if that fifty, boy, that fifty was well spent,
you could spend all day long riding on the city,
if you like that. I didn't want to sit ride
off the sick car because it used to make me dizzy,
(42:07):
so I was telling him. But anyway, I got a
caller who made me remember something too.
Speaker 6 (42:12):
Caller, you there, Tay, Grandpa, how are you doing.
Speaker 1 (42:16):
I'm good. I'm trying to talk about all the things
that we miss, nosalgia wines. I know I can't get
all of them, but I'm trying to do it to
tell people about.
Speaker 6 (42:28):
You just opened up the ballpark for me. I remember
mumblety peg steel marbles. I remember taking a dollar and
going to get three gallons worth the gasoline, and then
they're chilling the intended to wash the windows and check oil.
Speaker 1 (42:51):
Yeah, they don't do that anymore. They used to come
out and wipe, wipe your wipe your windshill off, cleaning doll,
bring all the bugs down here. I remember, well that.
Speaker 6 (43:02):
Was before whenshr washings though too. You didn't have a
winsher washing for your car. All you had was your
wishield ripers. You couldn't there There wasn't a thing that
rents the car. The windows first, and then you Washington
Quean So I remember still marbles they're call them boulders.
(43:24):
And then somebody who played marbles, and we have a
bunch of cat eyes, and the guy with the marbles
was just start destroying all our cat eye marbles.
Speaker 1 (43:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (43:42):
We had Yo Yo seveson spinning top season.
Speaker 1 (43:47):
Yeah, and you made me, you made me remind me
or something. What about uh those things? Those uh oh
they slept my mind.
Speaker 6 (43:59):
We had We had kite season. You get a kite
and you take one of your mother's stockings and put
it on this so it can hang over in the air.
Speaker 1 (44:09):
Yeah, everybody had a kite. And I remember the people
who couldn't afford a kite used to take newspapers and
make a kite run right.
Speaker 6 (44:20):
Right and then and then there's were there were a
h h roller skate.
Speaker 7 (44:29):
Uh uh yeah, that was the money.
Speaker 6 (44:37):
The roller skate buckets. In other words, you get a
piece of wood and you take an old roller skate
and break it in half and put it at the
front and put it into the back. And then you
had yourself a scooter.
Speaker 8 (44:53):
We called a skatemobile, right right right, And and then
there was mumblety peg where at the end of the
game somebody would take the screwdriver and stump at six
feet into the.
Speaker 7 (45:11):
Ground and then they pile up about five feet of
dirt and you had to go through all that dirt
down six feet to get that peg out the ground.
Speaker 1 (45:26):
I guess it was developing.
Speaker 7 (45:27):
Then.
Speaker 6 (45:31):
I remember getting the Washington State apple and taking a
bath in it. Yep, yeah, it was. The Washington State
apple used to be so good and juicy.
Speaker 1 (45:45):
That is the best apple in the world.
Speaker 6 (45:48):
You you take a bite of that and water would
square all over you everywhere. Yeah yeah, yeah, and and
and and and everywhere. You win somebody you.
Speaker 1 (46:00):
Just had it out. Yeah. Well, I'm the lot of
people wherever they are used today and the show just
to have fun and think about some of the things
that they don't have and that we passed in life.
It was fun. You lived a lot.
Speaker 6 (46:14):
But okayma, I'm gonna get a little wrinch skin now
because I remember those dying parties where people would have
a party for ten cents and you get into the
party and you get your girlself for girls, so you
could dance with her.
Speaker 1 (46:30):
Yeah. I remember the rent party too. These have rent
parties as well. Yeah, when a person couldn't pay it.
But they couldn't pay the rent. Everybody else in the.
Speaker 6 (46:43):
Oh twenty five cartoons at the movies.
Speaker 1 (46:48):
Yeah, when the Hut, when they had the Mad Neighbor,
Remember the matinee at the movie house, right, get in
for half price? Well, everybody go. Everybody is sitting in
the movie eating popcorn ball.
Speaker 6 (47:09):
And when you talked about cars, we would have a
game called cars, and then we would watch a car
come by and say, oh, that's my car, that's my car,
that's my car. And then when a raggedy car came along,
they said, oh that's your car, that's your car.
Speaker 1 (47:27):
Okay, I appreciate your calling. Hey, we're just having a
little fun today. I just wanted to do something where
were You opened up a lot of important subjects.
Speaker 6 (47:37):
Huh, you open up a lot of memory.
Speaker 1 (47:40):
Yeah, anyway, I thank you. For calling and appreciate it,
all right, take care, all right, be good. Some of
the things. I remember one thing that we didn't talk about,
and that is kids ate cereal almost every morning. That's
what we did for breakfast. Cereal. They had corn flame,
they had the little balls. I can't name all the
(48:03):
different stuff, but Syria was the main thing that we had,
and then you know stuff like that. Anyway, those things.
Speaker 6 (48:11):
Are all over.
Speaker 1 (48:12):
We had a great time, and I hope we had
a good time and brought back a little memory for
people who remember those days. And we can make your
life pleasant thinking about the good old days that you had.
So that's what I wanted to do this week. But
make sure you tune in the next week when I
would be talking about more subjects that may apply to
you and today and the things that we do. But
(48:35):
this is my time to have a little fun, and
that's what I did. All right. Take care, make sure
you have a wonderful day and a wonderful week, and
I'll see you Saturday of next week at nine am
on the West coast twelve noon on the East coast. Okay,
take care and have a wonderful day. Love you in
(49:14):
Incant
All right, that was right. Good morning, Good morning everybody.
What a beautiful day it is today, eight two. We're
in August already. You realize that the year is almost gone.
We got about four more months in this year, and
that has been wonderful. Hey, life is good for all
(00:38):
of us. We may think it's bad, but hey, if
you're living, if you're standing up, if you're moving, life
is good. You're doing all right. For there's a lot
of things are not happening that way anyway. I'm the
voice of the Pitsicipal clers. Hello, I'm grandpa, and welcome
to let Grandpa speak. I'm your host, and I love everybody.
(01:00):
I always say that. And the reason for that I
love everybody. You can see I look like love. I'm
one of these glasses because I want to make myself
look like I'm not over the hill and pass away.
You know, as you get older, people think a certain
thing about you. But I'm here to really tell the
(01:20):
people who are fifty plus how to live their life
as they grow older, and be happy and live a
good life, live their best life. Now, that's when you
live your best life. Now they're retired. But most people
don't really want to see that they see people that
I'm broken down. I've been reading articles about people saying
I don't want to be eighty because I'm in pain.
(01:40):
I'm in this, I'm in that. That's why I do
this show to tell you there is a solution to
every problem. It's the problem is most people don't know.
They think, well, I have this, and that's that. I
got that. You can solve all your problems. You could
sell them with your mind. That's how it is done. Now,
(02:05):
we need to live a better life than what we're
all doing. Some seniors are not really doing what they
should do. So that's when I thought about I want
to do this show. I want to tell them how
they can live. I'm ninety five years old, I'm doing good,
doing well. I've got I'm like a sixty year old man.
Anybody can do this. I'm no exceptional person. I'm just
(02:28):
a regular, normal person like everybody else. But I have
a friend this morning that putting let Grandpa speak. I
guess it was on the internet. I saw it on
the show on the internet from nine at twelve o'clock
on the at twelve o'clock on the East Coast, nine
o'clock on the West Coast. I was really proting. The
(02:51):
lady's name is Lilian McDowell. I know her as a friend,
so she put that up there today, and then I
guess she was saying, John, follow them. I don't have
a following. What I do is I do what I do. Uh,
But I don't mind having a having a following. I
don't really care because I think seniors should really realize
(03:12):
that as they get older, nobody cares about them. People
want to kick them to the curve. They don't want
to see them. They got all kinds of issues and problem.
Most of these issues and problems can be solved now.
There are a lot of answers to these problems that
you don't hear ordinarily because who else, who else? You
(03:32):
tell me, who else is standing out there cheerleading, trying
to keep the older people happy and living the best
life that they ever had. Now that they're retired, they're
free to do whatever they want to do. And now
they but they can't do it. Some of them can't
do it. Many of them are doing very well. And
(03:54):
you can make your last days into the last days
of just a good life. And that's what to do.
Live our best lives because these are our last days
in life. You have to know how to do it,
and somebody's got to get out there and tell you.
And that's what I decided I would do. I said,
I'll tell them so I teach wisdom and common sense.
(04:14):
That's all. It's just. Everybody has it. Wisdom and common sense.
That that's all it does. Now, I had a I
wrote out, I write my show out. Every week. I
wrote out something else, but that was That's not what
I'm talking about. I'm not used, I'm not using my script,
and I'm just talking from my heart. That's what I'm
(04:37):
talking from my heart. I want to just tell people
that whatever you're doing, whatever you suffer, there's a solution.
You don't know the solution because people are not interested
in telling older people how to live a good life
because they think their future is questionable. You think it's
questionable that they may not even live. You're gonna live
(04:59):
as long you want to live. That's what I believe. Now,
you can believe whatever you want to believe, but that's
what I believe. So believing is very good if you
believe in what's good. So believe in what's good and
reject the self that is bad. Stop thinking that. Because
you thinking that I'm over the hill and I'm just
(05:19):
that and the other and I can't make it and
all lah, my legs are hurting me or this, that
and the other. You are gonna that's where you're gonna be.
What you need to do is say, look, my knees
on my legs is hurting. I need a solution. I
need to find some way to help me. I'll go
talk to my doctor. If my doctor can't help me,
there are other sources of information. We got a lot
(05:42):
of great programs for seniors that will help them to
live alone. I've had a bone, bone on bone in
my knees for thirty years. I went to the doctor.
It was over thirty years ago that he told me, said,
you got bone on the bone and I need to
operate on you. And I say no, I don't want
(06:04):
an operation. And I didn't take one, and I haven't
taken one even till today. But I've been able to
live with that need. It's fine. Sometimes it hurts, sometimes
it get out of there, but it's never been bad
enough for me to want to get it an operation.
And I'm not talking about people who get operation. Get
an operation if you want one. I was just telling
(06:24):
you my experience because I'm trying to tell you how
I think and how you could think. Use a lot
of common sense and a lot of wisdom to solve
your problem. And that's what it is. We don't understand
how we problems. Most of us think that somebody else
is to blame for our condition, or somebody else's did
(06:46):
this or didn't do that, or whatever you know, or
the president or we name people. Its just he goes
on and on and on. But it's you and you
can do it. And if you listen to this show,
We're going to tell you a lot of good stuff.
I'll tell you how to stay healthy. I'll tell you
how to be alert, and how to keep your memory
and everything going for you. I'll tell you how to
(07:08):
be active, how to move, And one of the main
things I teach you is that keep moving. Don't just
sit down there and don't do nothing. If even if
you're tired, sit down, get up every fifty minutes. If
you're really tired and you don't have any energy, take
a brisk walk. These are some of the things that
nobody tell you because everybody haven't gotten it haven't They
(07:31):
haven't been older, or they haven't gotten older, so they
don't know these issues. They may not know these problems.
So do that and keep anger away from you. Never
stress yourself. If you get to be a certain aid,
you don't have to stress yourself about the little problems.
The problems that you get mad about or angry about.
(07:51):
It is not a problem anyway. I didn't get this.
Oh they didn't do that. You know, you're not a
spoiled kid anymore. You understand all those things. You don't
get angry with the whole world because you messed up
your life, and your life is based upon your choices.
You must realize that, and we have to realize that too.
(08:13):
But anyway, I love everybody, and I love everybody because
I was taught that way. My grandmother, who couldn't read
or write, taught us all five of my siblings, of
we all five of us a siblings, how to love everybody.
When you love everybody, you take a load off yourself.
I'm not going up and down the street telling that aboy,
(08:34):
I love you, I love you, ILL love you know.
I just said that. I know that there's energy coming
from me. There's energy coming from everybody. We're all on vibrations.
We don't know that early. We didn't know that earlier,
but now we know through science and other studies that
we are vibrating. The whole world is vibrating. These are
the things that we need to know and the things
that we have not been told to make our life better.
(08:59):
The thing about it is we are in charge of it.
Whatever happens to us. We are the ones that's guiding
our lives. Maybe somebody else is in there too, because
a lot of time we have people who want to
brainwash other people, and they will tell them all kind
of things, whatever they can do to their advantage. So
(09:21):
long as they getting an advantage, they'll tell you whatever.
But I'm not gonna do that. I just tell you
the truth. And that's what I say. Common sense. Common
sense is real. Everybody has it. All I'm doing is
making you aware of it. You know it. It'll come,
It'll come out with you anyway. Let me say this much.
The most successful people in the world have high morals.
(09:45):
Now you may not believe that. Most people think that, oh,
the most successful people stole they robbed it. Non not.
That's not true. The most successful people have high morals,
and so we all need to have those high morals
because it helps us to grow and it helps us
to be the best we can. You enriching yourself, not
(10:05):
the world. Some of us think we come here and
we're doing everything for the world. Were changing the world. No,
you're not. You can only change yourself. So realize that.
Every week I'm on here on Saturday, I'm on this show,
and I tell you a lot of things. Now, normally
i'll tell you things that are different. This week, I'm
(10:27):
just gonna have fun. I want to talk about things
of a nostalia, things that we don't have anymore, things
that are not available to us, but things that we
really enjoyed and had fun with when it was when
we did have it, you know. And like I said,
my grandmother she was not a rich person, but she
had an insight. And I think because she couldn't read
(10:50):
and write, she never got into a certain mindset. And
because she couldn't read it right, she was figuring the
things out for herself. She was just I guess early
she was a slave, She was a slave child, and
she was born in slavery eighteen I think she was
born eight about eighteen eighty six or something like that,
(11:12):
somewhere around it. We didn't know. We know it was
somewhere around that because back in those days they didn't
have birth certificates for those people slaves did, weren't weren't listed,
weren't recorded. Their life was not recorded at the office
downtown or whatever it was, or if it was, it
wasn't recorded in a proper way whatever. So we don't
know exactly what her birthday was. But she was the
(11:35):
cause of me now and gave me the inspiration to
teach people come on sense and we all know common sense.
Some people call it mother withit, you know, I noticed
because the mother with but mother with In our country,
we do a lot of things here in the country
that has to do with freedom. We let you do this,
(11:55):
We'll let you make these certain decisions. A lot of
times people make weird decisions uh in their life, and
it is the wrong decision, and so we need to
realize that and stop thinking in the terms of making
bad decisions when we could be making a good decision.
(12:17):
Think good is what my point is. Now, think good.
If people think good, a lot of the bad stuff
just go away because you're thinking good. But if you're
thinking bad? What else is on your mind? What else
is in your life? And those are the things that
our teach has coming since com on, Since is the
(12:38):
realize I have a problem, I can solve the problem.
They will, They will go out and and and and
maybe attack other people. Some people attack other people for
their own problem over and over again. But we don't
have any problems when we face them. They just go away,
They just fade away. Throw it out of your mind,
(13:00):
don't let it be there. I'll tell you this is
This is the secret to us living, And the secret
to us living is that we have a lot of
power within ourselves and we can solve most of the
problems in ourselves. But love can solve your problems as well.
(13:20):
So wake up and realize stop hating any money, don't
get into the problems with that. Give them love, Thank love.
Even though all the people you think are wrong, give
them some love, Give them some love. Love is a
good thing. Love, as a song said, love will conquer
hate if it needs to be conquered. Well, that's what
(13:41):
I am, and that's what I think about, and that's
what I do each week. So I want to say,
I want to say or what do I want to say.
I just want to say that I think you should
pay attention, listen to the show often, and I think
you'll be fine and living Today we're going to talk
about nostalgia things and I'll be right back and won't
(14:06):

little fun today. We won't be talking about anything serious,

Speaker 1 (18:12):
Hey, all right, we're back here again. We're gonna have
a little fun now today Today is our fun day.
You know, I did this show according to some information
that I received. I did this show on this same
date two years ago, so I'm back here doing it again. Anyway,
We're going to talk about nostalgia. You ever think about
(18:34):
some of the things that you don't have, but a
lot of them. I forgot all the things that we
didn't have, but I can remember them when if somebody
bring them up. But every once in a while, I
think about some of the things that we didn't have.
And I'm going to start with the things that I
had or enjoyed as a child, as a kid growing up.
And one of the things that I remember is candy.
(19:00):
Candy used to be a big thing when I was
a kid. A lot of kids ate so much of
it they were rotting their teeth out. It kidded. But
candy you had, if you remember, like peppermint, you could
buy it for a penny, or you can have penny candy.
You could take a penny and go down and get
quite a bit of candy for one cent. They don't
(19:21):
have that anymore. They had batsuckers, black cow suckers. You
could suck on them all day long, and when you
got through, sucker used to wrap them up in a
napkin and sleep with it under your pillow because you
didn't want somebody else to get your sucker. If you had, boy,
if you had if you had siblings, and laid that
sucker down and they see that, well, I don't mean
(19:42):
sucker like a person. I mean sucker like candy. There
was a cat on stick, That's what I'm talking about.
That the sucker I'm talking about. Anyway, if you laid
it down, some other kid would take it up and
eat it, and you be disappointed. Where's my candy? Somebody
took my candy? You know. That was one of the
things that we had. We don't have that anymore. Kids
(20:03):
don't even worry about that anymore. I don't know if
kids even have candy that that's directed for children, but
that's what that was about. They had candy cigarettes. You know,
you could smoke those things. And what about soda pop
r Sea Cola? Anybody remember our Sea Cola and knee
High Cola. You had a big bottle of soda pop
(20:23):
you could get for a nickel or or maybe a
quarter or something. And the next thing I want to
talk about that you may not remember, and that was
green stamps. Anybody you know how you would collect You know,
it's like you get a refund on what you spend
on your credit card today or your debit card. Well,
(20:44):
back in the day, we used to have green stamps.
You're going and we buy something and they would give
you green stamps. And we don't have that anymore. And
if you, if you're a kid, you remember these shoes
pere flyers. You remember that. Hey, we were all over
the place and bust brown shoes. That's what we did
back there. That was some of the things that we
(21:04):
don't have anymore. Or marbles, What about marbles. I used
to have a bag full of marbles I got. I
would go to go find where kids are shooting marbles.
They would make a big round circle in the ground
in the sand and we'd smooth it out and everything,
and we would play marbles. We were shooting marbles. I
(21:25):
don't think kids even shooting marbles anymore. As a matter
of fact, that was a sport one time. Because I
remember when Pee Wee Reese he played football, I mean
he played baseball. He was a baseball player. I think
he played for the Dodgers at that time. He won
the championship for the marble tournament. They had a marble tournament.
He was a winner for that. You know, I was
(21:48):
never that good, but hey, I did play marbles and
I did. And what about something else? Is the thing
that we don't have paper airplanes. You remember paper airplanes.
You'd go in the store and buy your airplane, and
you come home and put it together and you go
to the park and fly your airplanes. That was fun.
That was something we would do. And kids were different
(22:10):
back in the day when I was a kid, kids
will had things to do. Especially back on Saturday, kids
would be selling seeds. You remember that, they'd be selling
all kinds of seeds for flowers and for vegetables. You
want to have in your yard. They would come to
your house, knock on your door and say we're selling seeds,
and everybody say, well, I'm wanna buy. They would buy
(22:31):
the seeds. They were very reasonable and cheap. You know, well,
I did what my family did. We would order baby chickens.
Now I know that sounds a little different. You would
order baby chickens and the chicks would come. They were
cute little chicken. They would be yellow and everything, and
they bring them you could. They would put them in
(22:52):
the mail and you would get them and you would
raise them as chickens if you wanted to. Sometimes you
would lose a lot of them. But you were saying,
but if you remember, I remember that. I don't. Maybe
everybody don't remember it, but you would. We were raising chicken.
So we raised the chicken in our yard. And naturally,
when they got to be fried, as my grandmother would
cook them, and we said, don't cook the chicken, that's mine.
(23:16):
Nobody wanted somebody to cook the chicken because you had
gotten that was your chickens, your like your friend. So
you didn't want to do that anyway. Another thing that
I missed that I think about sometimes is that we
used to walk around kind of nervous, and they had
what they call fallout shelters, and these shelters were in
(23:36):
case somebody would drop the atomic bomb and the fallout
would come, so you they would have different shelters. When
you walk down the street your self, you see a
big sign saying fallout shelter. Now, if something happened, that's
where you would go. I don't see that anymore. Nobody
that I noticed have those signs. Maybe they have them
signed somewhere, but they don't have that anymore. Anyway. I
(24:00):
remember that these are all the things that somehow that
have gotten away from us, and we don't need. Well,
we don't even miss them. I don't think. We don't
even think about it because our life is changed and
we go through everything changes. What about all the stories
when you heard the story, how did it start? Once
upon a time, Once upon a time, there was this,
(24:23):
and there was that. All stories started with that. You
don't do that anymore. That's changed. So all those things
they've had for children are seen to be gone. And
I guess they've gotten rid of some of the public
broadcasting companies. Big Bird is gone, so you can go
to other places and get all that you know on
the internet all that. So it's not as if it's
(24:44):
not available to you anymore. It's just not available the
way that used to be. And I know something that
the men will love. Back in the day, well I
don't know if they I don't know if I should
say it like that. But back in the day, they
had what they call hot pants. Remember when summer came,
women would be wearing hot pants, and boy they were hot.
(25:09):
They were really really tight as fall. But it's not
as I think it. I think spandex that we're wearing
nowadays is a little bit more, a little bit more
brazen than hot pants was. Hot Pans was something we
got used to it, and you know, it wasn't the
at least for me. I never thought about it being
(25:30):
any big bad thing or whatever. But hot pants, we
don't have that anymore. We don't have standard oil. You remember,
Standing Oil used to be the biggest oil company in
the country, so you hardly ever see that anymore. Or
ethyl gas. Ethyl gas is gone. And what I really
missed and think about a lot of time was the milkman.
(25:53):
Early in the morning all over America. Milkman used to
be out at five o'clock in the morning delivering milk,
and we got five We got four quarts of milk.
I think we got one milk, one chocolate milk, one
orange juice milk, and one butter milk. Those the milks
(26:15):
that we got. I don't know if you remember that
or abada milk man would be out making all kinds
of noise like the garbage man do nowadays. And that
that's gone. We don't have that anymore. I don't I
didn't realize all the things that we don't have like this,
so that's even a lot more. One of the main
(26:37):
things that I noticed that we used to get was
that a payphone. There were payphones on every corner, so
if you got any kind of problem or whatever. If
some of them were nickel, they were a diamond, and
they went up to a quarter. They just kept, you know,
the price kept going up. But used to have a payphones.
I don't see any payphones anymore. I guess because everybody
(27:00):
has a cell phone. Everybody has their own phone that
they carry around. Kids and everything else carry a phone.
And these children are really good with that. They they know,
they know how to do a cell phone much much
more than I do, and much more. They know how
to get on it. I was I was watching my granddaughter,
(27:21):
I think she's about three years old, and she asked
her mom, saying, Mom, give me any phone, give men
the phone, give any phone. So the late my uh,
my grand daughter, gave her the phone and she took
the phone and she was clicking on it like she
know what she was doing. So me, I asked my granddaughter,
(27:43):
I said, your baby, does she know how to use
that phone? I know she don't know her ABC's. She
she said, yeah, she knows how to use it. So
I thought that was amazing. I said, she don't even
need to have her ABC's, she don't need to know
what one and two is or whatever. But she's able
to operate that phone and go where she want to
go and play the game that she wants to play.
(28:04):
And she's three years old. I said, boy, this much.
The children must be born into this or not. But
we don't have to pay phone anymore. We've got the
cell phone and we are having a wonderful time with it.
It's great. What about water fountains? You remember water fountains.
Water fountains used to be almost some almost everywhere you
(28:27):
can walk down the street if you want to drink
the water, there's a water fountain. Where's the water fountain?
Then finally get water. Nowadays you don't do that, not
even that. You can't even hardly drink the water in
your house anymore. I made I made a lecture about
that and I put it on YouTube. You can go
(28:47):
on there, go on to YouTube and put it in
my name William McLeod and you'll see what I talk
about the water, because I say, we pay for the water,
but we can't drink it. We cannot drink that water.
Be careful drinking the water. They tell you, whatever you
do drink, do not drink the water. Some of them
say they got PFA ass in it. I don't know
what that is, but it's a chemical we shouldn't have.
(29:09):
It has chrome in it, it has mercury in it.
So I don't know how they can justify that, uh,
serving us water water coming into your home with all
of those problems. I think these are something. This is
something that's gone, but it might be something that we
need to bring back, and that is good, clean, non
(29:29):
toxic water for us all to drink. Or you know
what I'm saying, now, anyway, you remember the ten cent store.
You could go to the ten cent store, and boy
was that was the other day. You could buy a
lot of different little stuff, a lot of most of
the toys in those days, little bitty toys, small, we'll
come from Japan, it will say made in Japan with
(29:53):
tin and all that's gone. We don't have that doing.
The ice cream man has gone. I loved it when
I would ice cream man would come down the street,
dingle ling, dingle ling, dingle ling, making all that noise.
You remember that ice cream man, and you would have
to have a nickel or a quarter or whatever, fifty
(30:15):
whatever it was to get some ice cream. And when
he would come, he was parking the street and that
music would keep going, yeah, and mam mama, and you
just couldn't annoy it. You had to say, Mama, need
a nickel, Mama, need this, give me some money. I
could need to grot me some ice cream. And that
was the ice cream And we don't have the ice
cream Man in the street no more, which kids love
(30:36):
because they would coaching. They would sign around that truck.
It was really great and they really didn't What about
a phonograph record. I remember phonograph records, but from back
when they had the machine, they used to wind it
up and then they got so sophisticated they became a stereo.
But enemy you can get a lot of beautiful music
from it too. I don't know if they still do that.
(31:00):
We don't. I don't think I see a lot of
people paying phonographs anymore. I think we used mostly a
digital music. Now those are gone. So and remember we
used to have to iron our clothes. You remember that
when back in the day you had to iron when
you get through washing the clothes, you had to iron
all of them. Well, I don't see that anymore. We
(31:21):
don't iron it. So I know, I do my own laundry,
and when I finished doing my laundry, I just fold
the clothes up and I don't worry about the wrinkles
in it.
Speaker 6 (31:31):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
They used it fall out and it used to work okay.
But back in the day used to have a lot
of wrinkles. So that's for that was What about coughs sirt?
Remember cough sirt when when it wasn't COVID back in
the day, it was a flu or a cold. And
it's sort of the same thing when I see people
(31:53):
catch what they call COVID. Now it's just it's the
same thing as a flu or cold or something like that.
So we don't have cough serpent anymore. We don't have
cough cold medicine that they sell hardy anymore. People just
don't get into that anymore. We go to the doctor
and get a pilled. We get all kinds of pills
and this, that and the other, you know, and we
(32:14):
have I don't know if that's good or whatever it is,
but we don't have that anymore in the society. And
what about this. This is a culture thing here, and
I just want to talk about it because it would
it let something back in the day when we did this,
and that is the family Sunday dinner that's gone. But
(32:37):
back in the day, your family, most of your relatives
would come to one house another because they would be
having dinner there that day. I remember getting up early
in the morning and the day on Sunday, getting everything ready.
All the people would come in. You have a big
family Sunday dinner. I don't know if people do that anymore.
(33:02):
I don't see it, but I don't have. My family's
all been or not here anymore. They've all been passed away.
I guess I'm the last one in my family to
be living. But they I don't think anybody. I never
noticed anybody saying we're going to for mama's house, or
we're going to my sister's house, or somebody for dinner
(33:23):
on Sunday. Where do we get out dinner on Sunday?
We go out, I guess to a restaurant or something
like that. But we used to cook. People don't cook anymore.
I remember from back in the day, people stopped stop
learning to cook. But when I went to school, they
had are class that for girls, domestic class. Were taught
(33:43):
them how to cook, taught them how to sew, all
kinds of things they used to do. But they don't
do that anymore. But those things were important because it
gave us a chance. We had a chance as a
kid to grow and to do things. I can remember
how I made my money. I would say glass bottles.
You would say bottles and things like that, and that's
(34:05):
how you would make a little money to go to
the movie on the weekend. I don't know if kids
can do that anymore. They asked their mother for an
allowance that came around, I can't do all this stuff,
so I get an allowance. So I guess now they
still get an allowance. And I don't know if that's
totally good for children. But I learned how to earn money,
and I learned that that's how you get money. You
(34:27):
get money by applying yourself, and I think that's what
that was about. But anyway, I pass over to Sunday dinner.
Like I said, I don't know what happened to that,
but I know I had a good time on Sunday
dinners because they would cook all kinds of good stuff
and sweets and pies and it was nice. As a kid.
(34:48):
That's gone argon grinder? Who's that coming down the street?
Look at argon grinder, Pete, He's the latest rhythm thing
and and got that really don swing roll on? You
remember that? You don't remember that? Anyway? He used to
have an organ grinder that came through the neighborhood with
a monkey on the grinder, and the little monkey would
(35:12):
jump up and down. He was on a chain and
everything do with and kids used to love that. That
don't happen anymore. I don't see any argon grinders coming
down the street, and the argon grinder. Would he would
take money, you know, you'd give him money, and all
that that's gone. Neighborhoods are just not the same anymore.
(35:32):
Everybody's running afraid. Our children are not safe. And this
is you know, we've got some changes and we've got
a lot of things that are gone. But some of
those things are were good. They weren't bad. We didn't
necessarily replace it with something good and wish as things
go by. If you want to change things, always remember this.
(35:55):
Find a solution to change to something better. Every time
you want to change something, change to something better. And
that's to take your time to do that. All right.
Then we had the junk man I told you about save.
I used to save iron. If I find a piece
of metal, I would save that. If I find, like
(36:15):
I say, I saved glass. I had a bushel basket
of glass. Every time the junk man would come along,
dangle ing, dangle lang junk man and run outside and
catch them. Hold it. I got something for you. And
he would give you maybe thirty or forty cent for
a bushel of glass, and he sometimes they would want
(36:36):
you to break it up. Sometimes they would take the
bottles if they had a lot marked on every they
working five cents. You could sell soda pop bottles for
five cents if you needed money to go by do whateverthing.
And we used to. It's called like a little hustle
for kids. And if you were a poor kid, you
knew all about that. Anyway, that's gone. That's gone. You
(36:59):
don't have that. And another thing that they don't have
that we may not think about very much, and that
is cars. Back in the day, they had a lot
of different brand of cars that we don't have anymore.
There was like the Sodo, a soda was a car
(37:19):
that people bought. There was a packet if you remember Murmur,
the packet packet automobile. There was a Lossar. There was
a Kaiser. Kaiser made a car they sell that. There
was Nash and there was Hudson. There was an Oldsmobile.
There was a Pontiac. All of that is gone, and
(37:41):
I'm probably missing some of the cars. There's so many
of the different ones of them. I'm probably missing some
of them. But the main thing I used to love
most of all that most kids used to love it
and really enjoy it, and that was a coney cone.
A was a hot dog with chili on it. You
don't even hear that anymore. Going to get me a
kone that's out, that's dead, you don't hear that no more.
(38:05):
And for kids, as you grow older, the main thing
that kids used to do is go to what they
call a soda fountain. Now, the soda fountain was sometimes
within a drug store, sometimes it stood alone. It was
like an ice cream place, and they would have a
soda fountain. When you went to the soda fountain, you
could get all kinds of stuff that you love, and
(38:28):
that love we had. They had ice cream floats, they
had malts, they had milkshakes, You had all that kind
of stuff like that, and all the kids used to
hang around. If you want to be in the know,
if you want to be around the kids, and they
I don't know if that happened everywhere across but where
I and I lived in Ohio, and that's what we did.
(38:51):
We would go down to the soda fountain and hang out,
hang out there, spend the day there buying you you know,
if you could do whatever. Kids would just be playing
with each other or whatever. If you didn't go and
do some kind of sport. But we all played sports
back in the day. I guess kids. I don't know
if kids played sports like that today. I don't have
(39:14):
any children, so and I live in a fifty place
fifty five plus neighborhood, so I don't really know or
see a lot of children that I used to see
before playing together. We used to get together. Hey, we
got a boy baseball game, come on over, and you
would choose team, and you if you had a guy
who couldn't play, I don't want him, I don't want him,
(39:37):
but he would he would get a chance to play
on one of the teams, and we didn't want him
because so you try to pick the best players for
your team so you would win the game. We would
play that. Basketball was handled that way. Baseball was handled
that way. Now tennis, I played a lot of tennis
as as a kid, and it was like a sing
(40:00):
no thing that you did. I love to play it though,
I like tennis, but we did. We did stuff like that.
I think all those things learned us how to have
a different attitude toward each other. I don't think kids
ever harmed each other back in the day that I
can remember. We didn't like today they are they'll get
a gun or whatever. It is and they are or
(40:21):
did something wrong him, they'll get a gun or whatever
it is and then go back and shoot the other kids.
So something that is not a miss. With that, all
these things that we have that were missing seemed to
set a tone for our minds. It seemed to gave
us more freedom, more friendliness.
Speaker 6 (40:40):
More.
Speaker 1 (40:42):
Dealing with people. I don't all these things are gone
from now, and I'm not sure we deal with each
other like we did back in those days. We knew
each other, we had we were friends with even the
people we didn't want friends, but we still know them
and we got along with even though you didn't like them.
(41:02):
That is gone. People nowadays they get serious about you
in a certain way. Is I think about that? Okay,
what about the street car? Did you have a street car?
We had the street cars in our neighborhood and on
Sundays for fifty cent you could get us pass and
you could ride a street cars wherever you all day long.
(41:24):
With that pass. All you got to do is show
that pass and to the conductor and you and you
could ride as much as you wanted. So if you
if you want to see that, I've never been to
this place. I've never been to this town, and the
street cars would be going to those towns. So he said, well,
I'm gonna go over here today and something. You could
(41:45):
go to the lake, you could go to the parks.
You could go to places where where there were people
having fun or whatever it was on the street car.
And if that fifty, boy, that fifty was well spent,
you could spend all day long riding on the city,
if you like that. I didn't want to sit ride
off the sick car because it used to make me dizzy,
(42:07):
so I was telling him. But anyway, I got a
caller who made me remember something too.
Speaker 6 (42:12):
Caller, you there, Tay, Grandpa, how are you doing.
Speaker 1 (42:16):

piece of wood and you take an old roller skate
and break it in half and put it at the
front and put it into the back. And then you
had yourself a scooter.

there was mumblety peg where at the end of the
game somebody would take the screwdriver and stump at six
feet into the.
Speaker 7 (45:11):
Ground and then they pile up about five feet of
dirt and you had to go through all that dirt
down six feet to get that peg out the ground.
Speaker 1 (45:26):
I guess it was developing.
Speaker 7 (45:27):
Then.
Speaker 6 (45:31):
I remember getting the Washington State apple and taking a
bath in it. Yep, yeah, it was. The Washington State
apple used to be so good and juicy.
Speaker 1 (45:45):
That is the best apple in the world.
Speaker 6 (45:48):

square all over you everywhere. Yeah yeah, yeah, and and

because I remember those dying parties where people would have
a party for ten cents and you get into the
party and you get your girlself for girls, so you
could dance with her.

for half price? Well, everybody go. Everybody is sitting in
the movie eating popcorn ball.

And when you talked about cars, we would have a
game called cars, and then we would watch a car
come by and say, oh, that's my car, that's my car,
that's my car. And then when a raggedy car came along,
they said, oh that's your car, that's your car.
