That was just gonna be the rivalry. Everybody expected them

to make it through the regular season and make through
it the postseason. And they get up there and do
their things, and season.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Was dry.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
And so I'm I'm just as far as the basketball
is concerned, I'm really happy that. Okay, wait a.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Minute, we go, oh yeah here we are here, we
are do to get the dog. Just you when love
has made us fold and ug shut up, Cattwalny woman,
what is your problem?
Speaker 1 (02:25):
So something? Am I just you know at random stuff
that's going on in the world. And this is really
a major major league thing. When the Dodgers brought back
the uh the trophy for being the world champions in baseball,
and how cool was it for your mister Kennedy when
you what do you say when they named Fredy Freeman
because all of the people said fighty Fringman fighting free Man.
(02:46):
I didn't know that one. The one I know is
who is my facee? Mookie Beds and he was in
that in the game too. What was your thoughts on
cause we tell them what we were doing when the
uh I mean, the Dodgers went wherever they.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Wanted absolute the winning games. We were not even watching
the game. We were listening to the game off and
on and getting updates from other people when when the
game was going on, which was amazing what communication can do.
Because there was a guy that was next to us
who uh it was a big Yankees fan, I.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Mean because he's from the Bronx. I remember that guy.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
And he he kept, you know, letting everybody know about,
you know, what the Yankees were doing. And and most
of the people, as you would expect here in LA
were Dodger fans and so they were all quiet while
he was both the when the when the Yankees went
up four runs and and everybody kept winning, what's going on?
(03:43):
But I mean, it's funny, you know, you say, you know,
don't be so quick to say something is going to happen.
When it happened that the Dodgers came back and beat
the Yankees a big, a total surprise to him.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. The guy that was we were
showing the hallway on the hobby little together, and that
was something that I had learned about that I did
not know existed. Okay, so I went to a Hundredson
Memorial Hospital here in Pasadena. I had had to go
to the emergency room. Everything is all fine on the
western front. It was more of a preventive measure than
(04:21):
anything to make sure because I told you to I play.
Didn't tell you that I fell down the other day twice.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
I'm talking about.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Literally fell off the stoop in my poor in my
front door. Well we don't have a front door. But
nonetheless said flipped off the stoop because I, oh, I see,
That's why I'm most saying before you say it. Because
he takes care of me most of the time. You
know that he's got issues, and it's for Hollo with
the issues. And so they've been helping me get in
(04:49):
and out of the car until you know, my bones
and stuff get back there. I get back there better
one hundred percent. And so he's getting me out of
the car, putting, getting ready to put me in the card.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
He get their holes on.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
I'll be around and I'm going I could do this myself.
It's just one a little stupid. It ain't no big deal.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
And I fall a lot.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
I have been clumsy since I since I was twelve
years old, and you know, if it's gonna break, they
don't blame it on me because they know how clumsy
I am. And so I stepped, missed the steps, completely,
fell backwards, hit my head on something. I'm glad it
wasn't a pipe or anything. And then later on that evening,
(05:28):
this was in the morning when when when I fell
down on the ground going backwards, and then when I
got in the hounds it was like a few hours later. Yeah,
then I had a slight headache and I was a
little bit discombobulated because I'm like, what is going on?
And so some of the men, some of the men's
I take. I take more over the counter things than
I do pharmaceutical king things. And so uh, I come in,
(05:51):
you know, I get ready my Umo City shower, shamboo
and giant and I was. I had the tie wrap,
the murmad y'all. And I went to reef for something
and I said, I have a soup that it's on
my side of the bed, okay, because I can't really
get up in the bed just with my feet. I'm
not tall enough. And one Christmas, mister Kennedy got me up.
(06:11):
I thought it was my mean coat.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
That is what I bought.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
I didn't live up eye to ask about a mean
coat for the longest time. And so I, uh, while
you're back, and so wait, huh, well, oh that's not
you called it. Okay, no, none of that. So I
get up. I'm trying to get I reached with something.
I literally slid slid off the step. I slid annous.
(06:37):
That was the first fall. The second fall, I.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
Fell in my house right in the space between my dressers.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
And and my and the bed fell completely all hit
my face. I mean it was like a flat sight.
And then I had a oh it's going it was
that had a big gin out on my forehead. That's
where I got the bangs on together, a bit like sho,
that'sn't you in the car, and so come out. Gotta
tell you. They can say whatever they want to say
about who should marry who, and you always hear the
(07:06):
addict that there's somebody for everybody, and so it was
somebody for everybody in the New York said, well, do
you know what the new state and in New York is?
Do you know what the name of it is?
Speaker 2 (07:19):
No?
Speaker 1 (07:19):
No, no, no, Well y'all, you all in New York
know what it is because drown yourselves in sorrow, get
you a nice cool beverage, and.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
Just you'll get him next you'll get him next year.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Uh okay, well we'll see how that happens. And I mean,
it's been a it's just been a fantastic one. They
gave us the I mean when they went up eleventh
and or whatever it was eleven or four in the
game the Yankees won, where I was in to go,
oh god, okay, where are they taking us to? And
I understand it that in baseball, and I don't know,
(07:52):
maybe in football too. That wasn't gonna said, you know
in baseball. They just want you to play well, be
at your he has your peak game. And I'm telling you,
guys came out swinging backs. I mean what then the
Yankees have two Grandslams. I believe so two grands I
mean that was amazing. And they stent up God just
(08:15):
steal one. It got the trophy and Freddie Freeman got
his uh his uh uh MVP Award. I didn't know
that the MVP Award was named after the great will
he made Willie? Was it really made?
Speaker 4 (08:27):
What was his name?
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Called his name for me, mister Kennedy, you're talking about
William I know it. Boys made somewhere he. I did
not know that the MVP Award trophy.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
Was named after you.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
How great is that?
Speaker 2 (08:43):
That's that's the same.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
That is so great. That was like the cooler and
the young lady who sang at the uh, I know
what she could sing that will Well. I don't see
a lot of young people too much anymore, but I
like the ones that I like, you know, when.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
As they're getting older.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
You won that way. They called him fans, they be
your fans, but life and so that's what is important. Now,
Who did you like on the Dodgers things that you
would have if it wasn't Tady Freeman, who would you
have given him with the MVP too? For the ceries
I understand, not just the game.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
It was nobody else play better than him on the
Dodgers than him, So there's nobody else to consider for
the MVP trod because he played the best.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
He did play the best. I was just saying where
the head was? I told you it's at random stuff.
And sometimes I when I'm doing my research. Other people
might call it trolling, I call it doing research. Just
sounds so much fans here. There's so many great things
that are on the internet that are really really cool.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
And one of the okay, I want to bring up, uh, okay,
well what was the next what we were about to
talk about.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
That we want to talk gonna talk about their Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Didn't have a liberade right now that's going on as well.
It's about almost over now, you know, parade, but not then.
They having a private event in the inside Dodge the
stadium and people were able to purchase tickets and you
get attend to be around the Dodgers and their family
and have have have lunch or or probably late early
(10:20):
early dinner with the Dodgers. I guess the would be
considered because after parade then they were going to the
stadium where people were able to purchase tickets and have
stood down and eat with the with the family and
the players. Yeah, which is you know, I mean that's
one of the things you do with when you win,
you kind of have a select group of of your
(10:44):
fans be it become and meanle with the players and
their families. I mean there was there probably I don't know,
maybe a million people maybe for the parade route.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
And it was in downtown l A. Right because you
know me and tell me you.
Speaker 5 (11:00):
Were in traffic because they didn't the dacent to downtown,
so that that's why they closed.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
A lot of uh people are a lot of people
had the day off that work downtown because of the
parade being downtown and all these traffic and people being
down there. So people did, uh, you know, have the
day off. I mean if you had a chance to
see it on to you, which was a far better
seat than as being down something. Well, no, I take
(11:34):
that back, because if you're a dying darker fans, it's
nothing like being there at the parade, you know, yes,
it's nice to watch it at home, but it's nothing
like actually being there and say, I witnessed them go by.
You know, maybe they talked me a ball, you know
or something, because this does happen, you know, when they're
on the buses, so sometimes they do talk things out
(11:55):
to the fans sometimes.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
What I thought it was odd, uh and shown it
with me your thoughts on that, because there was I
think it was that. Think one of the Yankee games, well,
one of the fans leaned over and took it out
from one of the players, and you.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Know, you know he's been taken out. A fan did
rich up and grabbed the movie best by the wrist
and and uh and the other player the other uh
with this guy in the sayings they pulled the ball
out of his glove and threw it back onto the field.
But they still call it the Yankees player out because
(12:30):
he did make the kids and they and they adjected
those two UH fans for doing that.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
See that's just trifling.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
You know, you got a good thing going, you're having
a great time, and then all of a sudden you're
gonna go and lean over or lean over the fence
and whatever is the is the barcade, took it out
of the movie glove. I'm glad the refereen made that
call and then they put them out.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
Of the stable.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Okay, yeah, yes it is.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
That's what they need to do, all right. So now
moving on UH, I don't know. I mean, it was
down to the last wire, down to the final wire
of this UH his historical UH election where a vice
president Kamala Harris has actually got on a campaign and
(13:22):
just she picked up the gauntlet. She picked up the
ball and went through the gauntlet and said yes, I
will run. And she was. She has been doing a
great dealer fund raising and people you know, getting getting
in her and in her bank and you know, getting
into getting eye eye with her. And I'm voting for Comala, Yes,
(13:42):
I am voting for Kamala and Walts because we need
sanity back at our top leaders. Really, and so all
this stuff that's been going on for the election, you know,
I was complaining about it, why are there all these
rich politicians still asking you know, people who want to
fix income people got limited resources and these politicians got
(14:04):
hundreds of millions and billions of dollars in their coffer
and so to me, it's like they're asking us, you know,
pay for them to be you know, for a job
they were that's what they would do. Okay, but you're
getting ten million dollars here, fifty million dollars year. Why
are you nothing with Grandpa? And then you know they
got limited answers to in and that they really don't
hardly know what's going on. They're just gonna vote the
(14:26):
way they always voted, you know, because they don't have access.
And I think that that's one of the things that
really needs to be advanced up and we need and
some some states aren't you know, getting funding to rebuild
schools and to you know, rebuild the infrastructure. And we
got terrible bridges on everything. So you know, technically, you know,
(14:47):
they get in the office. When they get into office,
you know they'll meet with the with the real companies.
You know, we meet with the still companies. Who's gonna
get these contracts to help build us back up? And
that's what we gotta need. That's really what we're gonna need.
So when you when you look at the you look
at they were saying, oh, we got to numbers. The
Post they said they're the post. They said that you
(15:10):
see to me if they can. They can stack them
members any kind of way they want to.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
What say you, mister Kennedy, We said they could spect
the members any kind of way they want to. I mean, now,
if you're gonna believe in conspiracy and say they can
do this so they can do that, then why would
you even vote at all? Either you believe that, you know,
because everything somebody said, you don't just take that literally right,
(15:36):
and you don't just run off to the deepen and say, Okay,
well they said this, so it must just must be
the case. What you do do is that if you
want to actually, you know, make sure that that the
that the election goals will get out and vote. You
can vote these people out of office that are doing
these things. And and it wouldn't be out of the
(15:57):
ram to do that if you actually and took the
time to do that. You know, no matter what it's
being said, you don't believe everything. I mean, now, in
the age of the Internet and social media just constantly
things being put out there, constantly and will be put
(16:19):
out until election days. If you sit back and go
down the rabbit holes and try to go down the
rabbit holes and read every comment that's made. Listen to
every person on TV that makes a comment. It may
drive you baddy not to be realistic. I mean, you
know what you want to vote for, so listen to
(16:42):
all this rhetoric at the end should not be something
that you're listening to to start with, unless you are undecided.
And even if you're undecided, you really look at the
commercials and what they're really saying or what you get
on the social media, because everything that you see and here,
it's not always the case. And that's one of the
(17:03):
things that we have to really stop it, and you know,
listen to and be concerned about that. You don't just
take anything that's dead and run with it that you
maybe stopped and investigat. I mean, if it sounds too
good to be true, it won't just take it.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
It would probably it probably is.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
That it's not true a woman to take care. I
mean just like when it was when when you hear
people say that FEMA was not coming out and giving
age to people in North Carolina. It was not the truth.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
But even the government card is there, it was not
the truth.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Okay, But if you're putting it out there on social media,
because a lot unfortunately too many of us only here
the first through parts of anything and never want to
go any past that. Oh I heard that the FEMA
was doing this. Well, if you heard that FEMA was
feeding people and taking hearing people, did you mentioned that
(18:01):
too when you said that you heard something about FEMA
or here I heard that they were not helping people. Okay,
if you want to believe that that foolishness, then you will.
But if you stop the South for a moment, you know,
good will, FEMEN is down there helping people in North Carolina,
down in Florida and Georgia, you know, the South Carolina.
(18:24):
Any place that's been issues, FEMA has always been there
and always will be there. And there's no now that's.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Saying that they're not gonna fund FEMA, but they who
you know, Joe Biden is still the President of the
United States until January whatever. There's the inaugurations. That's it.
Always on the twentieth.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Yes, it is.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Reason to celebrate. And so because when we talk about
the mixed.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Messages, what happened, you said another reason with pro Verman.
They do it. They do it every four years.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
Okay, I just know, I just know.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
Every four years to low president for every every four
years we get.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
A new president, or they could go two times somebody mody.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Get re elected. We still we still have he still
has we sworn in right twenty for the next four years, right,
you know, so I couldn't.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Take another four and he is just that campaign has
just been at ad nauseum. And then like out here
in California, I'm sure they're around the state because they
keep sending us mist to to him and best and
you know you don't even live in that state, but
please send us still five dollars or your nine dollars
and forty four cents, and this is where you could
send it, and will you split a donation of five dollars?
(19:44):
You know, And a lot of people think, you know,
that's nothing. I could get that five dollars. But when
you talk about getting five dollars from one hundred million people,
that's a whole lot of money. And it's almost like
they think people are a money machine. Okay, I can't.
I gotta pay my life bill, Okay, but I want
to do to this college. You shouldn't even be thinking
like that. You try to make sure that you'll pint
you and your family are all right, you kind.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
Of answer your own question. You said, if you have
bills to pay that there's no reason for you don't
be consider they only ask them for a donation, right,
you don't have to do they ask for a donation
and wasn't a demand for a donation to stop and
they have a little bit of common sense have to
come back in. If you don't have the money to
(20:28):
be donate, don't donate. That's a simple solution. They only
can ask you if you want could contribute, if you can't.
If you want to do it, if you can't, then
move on. Don't guilt trip yourself in and give to
somebody a donation like you believe that would make a
difference in the election.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
I don't. I don't guilt trip about that. I mean
I know what to do for us and for our family,
and like you said.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
A families is that if you don't have the money,
then the fleet don't do it. I mean for people
who were listening to us, if you don't have the money,
don't do it. Don't be because that's been on the
internet or look, these are way too much just asking
you to do something if you know, if you can't
do it, just something don't do it. That's the best
(21:15):
way for that situation is just not to do it,
not even as entertainment. Front of the get from the beginning, I.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Haven't heard the governor of Florida. We heard from the
governor of North Carolina who called and said, no, that
is not what's happening. They're lying to you. And just
like they don't, they don't really care, you know, And
so we have to be the ones that care about
us and about our families, and about our community and
our states and then our national government. I mean, there's
(21:46):
a lot of layers that we need to be informed about.
And I think when you see it and they're coming
down into the water, you get us a billion advertising
all kinds of postcards, you know, vote for this one,
and they're gonna do that when they vote for out
when they got to do this one out here, we
got Prop thirty three or Prop thirty four. I believe
that it is so convoluted, you know, because they said
(22:09):
vote for this one because he's you know, he's an
attorney and he's defenseman who want to come out of jail,
and I have to be registered as a sex offender. Women,
you are telling about issues thirty three.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Four, Okay, it's not those are not about that. That's
uh you uh were changing of housing thirty three. It's
then that the rent is too high and that they
want you to get rid of a lot of the
rules that governs houses. So it's a hidden You have
(22:45):
to really look at it closely because it is saying
that the rent is too high, and so if you
vote for thirty three, it will lay your rents. It
will not lay your rents. It would take a lot
of safeguards that that have been put up to the
landlords or corporations, some thousand people out on the street,
because they'll be able to charge more rents. So you
(23:08):
have to really read your ballot to know exactly which
one is saying what. If you read it closely, you
will vote knowing.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
And please, please people, be mindful and understanding. Your vote counts.
Every one of us count every single one that's eighteen over.
Speaker 4 (23:28):
You know your vote counts.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
And I believe in California used to say that feelings
once they got out of jail, they couldn't they couldn't
register the vote, they'd never be able to vote again.
And that's another lie. And then we've got the people
who are like, I'm too far out, I don't know
how I'm gonna get there, And you know what am
I gonna do when we get there? Speaking of getting there,
it's mailing downs, mailing doubts. I got mine on to
(23:54):
take some place.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
I mean, you can make it. You canna always make
an excuse, but a needy simple way. The mail out
bout if you give them a good address where you
know where your where your mail will come, they will
send you a ballot any mail, because every registered voter
can't get a balance to vote, you know, by mail.
If you can't go to the actually go in and
(24:17):
vote on voting day. There are ways to assure that
you vote if you actually want to vote, mail in
ballid works just as well as you've been there present
on Tuesday. So don't limit yourself. I mean, if you
know that you can't be even also vote early. Yeah,
you can't until Tuesday, you know this early voting, and
(24:39):
that's in several states.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
Yeah, they say on something like nineteen minutes ballants have
been nailed in or more have been mailed in, which is.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
You know, another thing for people to know that people
are actually exercising their right to vote, and we all
should exercise our right to vote, no matter who you
believe is. You know, whether you think it's too much,
it will affess you. And that's the one thing I
think a lot of people don't think of is that
(25:11):
no matter what happens, you're offensive d that's right, and
you know, and there are so many issues on the table,
I mean, and just for them to because the GOP,
they just want to say, we're just gonna gut everything.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
We're gonna kill the Social Security, We're gonna get rid
of Medicare, We're gonna get rid of the E p A,
We're gonna get rid of this, We're gonna get rid
of that. And we're gonna keep burning fuel and we're
gonna keep polluting the air because that's money in our pockets.
And now that you gotta remindful of who is representing
you in your state, in your community, because that counts,
(25:43):
and you need to know who they are. A lot
of people don't even I can't. I'm not gonna go
and call any you know, status statress cities, but a
lot of people just you know, throw their hands up
beause I just don't care anymore. And I won't what
am I voting for anyway? And I don't feel like voting.
I don't want to vote. I don't need to have
all of that. When you have that attitude, you don't
have a place at the table. And we talk about
(26:05):
the table of equality, we're talking about the table of
you know, the higher ways of women for women and
people period.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
You know.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
But still our dollars are eighty seven cents. Your dollars
are one hundred cents, you know, So why am I
getting the same? Why am I getting a lower amount?
You know, just because I'm a woman and you get yours,
just because you're a man. If you're doing the same job,
you should get the same pay period. And the world
is changing. We used to call them firemen, We call
(26:35):
them firefighters, you know. So the world is changing, and
I think maybe you think maybe it's changing too fast
for a lot of people, especially our senior citizens who
have been in office for like three or four decades.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
It depends on where your mental ability is. Everybody's different
that no one science fits all to say that, all right,
if I understanding the youth that you don't want to
change with the times, then there's something wrong with you.
I mean, everybody will not change and catch every dude invention,
(27:12):
so you won't be in the and the latest fad. No, okay,
you're not out there dancing every night at at a
nightclub that was nineteen twenty year olds. O ass you're
You're not. You're not out there dancing. What I mean
just about the you know, going through the generation you
fit in at a sense, you know with these generations,
(27:34):
you know, as you get older, you'll your mental capacity
changes based on how much activity you choose to have
or not have or can have because we sometimes it's
not always the choice, because we have ailments that change
our lives, you know, as we get older, because in
our gene there may be different things that are running
(27:54):
with your particular family that can cost you to have
all you know, being the development diabetes at a letter
later age in life or it or made in the
development other diseases as you get older, because this is
something that runs through your family.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
And a lot of people are saying, yes, that has
a factor as far as your health is concerned. You know,
you need enough if your parents instantly brothers had a
heart attack, did they have diabetes, did they have cancer?
You know, I like this something on my application when
I'm filling out for a new service, and it said.
Speaker 4 (28:28):
If you are pregnant or you think he's gonna be pregnant.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
And so I was just bid. I just wanted to
see what would happen, and so I checked the pregnant box.
Said when we say what a miracle was about to happen.
So I am so ridiculous I could keep a straight faith.
And so she's the head no way down, tell makesure
(28:51):
that all the you know, the bacca checks. And she
got to the bout to said, if you are pregnant,
you're thinking about getting pregnant. She looked up in me,
like go fill out a new application, and we both
just crashed. But Cake, you just wipe it out.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
It wasn't you.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
You didn't want nobody, even the things that could have
possibilities to see you. When you're a little Christian in
the heads come home with stuff like this they do
in this story. When we were teenagers and I'm running
with my sister and help girlfriend, and I got my
girlfriend and we got two other people that so it's
like six of us and we're in our middle teens.
I'm not eighteen yet and I'm young, older than fourteen.
(29:29):
But they figured that we didn't get them some soul
degari somewhere around here, and we was we Hatholic and
run a month. It's a one.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
Say, I know, God.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
Watches the other old folks, babies and foods. I won't
the old person at the time, and I wasn't a baby.
Say you know what category I fell in? And we
were so dupious. We were get this Hagan Pinak ripples
that was my favorite one. And I don't even like
the whine because I like the bottle. And they made
great Christmas presents. Can't order nonetheless, So everybody got the
(30:00):
they love pining of whatever they drinking apples anti apple.
Speaker 4 (30:03):
Green springs or whatever it was.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
And so we would get from the Wrapper transit, remember
the Rappers transfer. We get on the WRAPPERD transit at
fifty fifth and we're gonna ride the Wrapper chanser to
the airport at say too, knew something was wrong when
they saw sixty back six black teenagers on the airport
on the bus and we wanted to sit in the back.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
It was like whether they should have thought something was wrong.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
Well there, I mean, there are dogs.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
That's pretty drudged simply because y'all were six. Y'all got
on the on the bus.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
Because I'm tearing up my story. I'm trying to tell
my story. If you're trying to have logic to it,
you don't gonna be making no logic to my hair street.
I'm trying to tell you a story. And I think
I told you this story a couple of times. But
it was hilarious. I used to do some crowd before
I became other left and so, uh, we're taking the
wrapping and we're all sitting in the back, you know,
(30:58):
and everybody unscrewing their bottle. Our mother said, you know
that you're drinking rot good if you got to screw
the top off the wine bobe, Well, how is he
gonna get it? How does we gonna get it out?
She said, you'll graduate the cooks, you know. And I
want to be like, oh okay. And so we riding
to the airport, we're doing aything, and we had this
little this little it was terrible. Don't don't ever do
(31:21):
this to anybody ever. So I'm the day used to
say I was the one that you could talk to
the people better than we can.
Speaker 4 (31:28):
So had we go up.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
I put a pillow up under my uh, up front
of my shirt. And I was pregnant, and so sometimes
I get so involved in my insanity, and so anyway,
this this particular stunt that we did, Okay, I put
a pill up on that one, A little throw pillows
up under my shirt. Looks like I was about eight
seven or eight months pregnant. So I'm just walking down
(31:51):
and you know, checking our people, and I hear, just
for the sake of the conversation, I hear Milton and Anna.
They walked they getting off the air of getting off
the air, off of the air playing nice you know,
nice young white couples, and you know, they're holding hand
and she got a big ring on her finger, and
so my that was me to just walk around. And
you know, then I started following him and he ain't
(32:12):
telling her torn.
Speaker 4 (32:12):
Can I help you with something?
Speaker 1 (32:14):
I'm like, oh, you know, now you want to help
me with something. Now you want to help me something.
This is what you helped me with. His little girlfriend.
She was just done, you know, she said, I know you,
and she runned through the hall and gon it through
the airport and little how he was shoot and you
could see me, and it was terrible. It really need
(32:34):
you geeze, I got Jezus white things. I was still living.
I don't work, and her red that was that was
back in the day. And they were like, but we
didn't have a lot of security at the airport doing that.
It look we weren't doing crazy stuff like that. And
they just they stopped laughing so hard. We had to
(32:55):
get we had to get one of the tics off
the floor because she was like, she fell off and
off the seat and he was hold on to the
seat and.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
He's not knowing.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
You're so good at that. You're like, no, look at
what's gonna be like next.
Speaker 4 (33:05):
But that's get I'm not doing that again.
Speaker 1 (33:07):
I'm crazy. I probably broke on somebody's mirror before it
even got married. And I done my pictons pensions with that,
and I thank people that not they didn't come looking
for me at the time, you know, because oh it
was I said do some crazy stuff. You said that
was crazy. I told you it was at random Friday,
(33:28):
I did another thing.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
I know, I didn't know. It was just that.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
Br That's what makes it funy because you just don't
know where I'm going with it.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
I'm German. I'm Germans crawl.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
Okay. So so you know we're talking about you know,
all at random stuff. So what's the craziest thing you
did when you were a teenager? Well, you didn't know me.
Don't be giving me that story. Look like, I ain't
never do anything that crazy.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
No, I going, No, I didn't do it thing that's crazy.
The craziest thing I did, we're not.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
I mean, I guess a lot to think back. It
was probably a few, but one of the craziest things
we were we had cut school one day, being a
couple of my friends, and we were down in the park.
And when we were in the park, we would get
ready to leave, and then my friend picked up a.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
Handful of rocks and he threw it onto the streets
at cars coming on the streets. And then we heard someone. Uh,
we heard the sound of someone slamming on their brakes
and and and uh we started running because we assumed
that when we took the rocks and threw out there,
(34:44):
he hit the car. And so we went we ran
back into the park to get away from that side
of the road or that side of the park, and
the guy uh went around, drove around to come to
the lower end of the park where we were running
that uh, and we thought we saw a car coming
up racing up on the on the side of the
(35:07):
guns around and ran back into the park. But he
didn't want to leave his car. So that's what today
because he didn't want to leave a car out there
on the street and maybe get hit by another car
because it was on a winding road. So that was
probably the craziest and something that I said, I want,
I want, I want to do that again.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
See, you need to use it back there speaking.
Speaker 2 (35:34):
I learned. I learned the quick lesson.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
I was said, Oh, just I just want this't go
you know, I'm just not gonna do that again.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
I'm not gonna do learn I learned from mistakes that
I made quite well. I didn't try to repeat any
mistakes that I made a second time. And you knew
it wasn't that to this day. Yes, we all make mistakes,
but I try to learn from my mistakes. But I
do learn, not try. I do love them, I'm gonna say,
because I really make the same mistake again if at
(36:05):
all possible.
Speaker 1 (36:07):
That's what's cool about being a teenage excuse, that's what's
cool about being a teenagers because we feel like we're invincible.
And then when you find out the church not you're not.
You know it's gonna happen to you somewhere someplace. You
know you're gonna be born, you live, you're gonna die.
Just deal with that and what you're gonna do. My
uncle god Rest said, so he said, uh, he did.
(36:28):
He did my sisters, one of my sisters us. When
he got up to speak, he didn't do the us,
but he got up to speak, and he said, I
have known this woman from the cradle to the grave,
and I'm gonna tell you she made she made a
big deal out of what she's gonna do with that
dash in between, because that's where you make your decisions.
(36:49):
That's way you make a mistake. That's where you learn
and grow. That's what when when the hated comes in,
or you know, you're feeling bad about stuff, but you
think somebody get mean to you, you know, all that
ugly stuff comes out, and not what I'm saying, don't
let the ugly stuff come out, you know, and well
don't let the other stuff come out around me. That's
really what I'm saying, because I know the kids that
(37:09):
could do some crazy stuff. We was in the limousine,
me and a bunch of my bunch of my girlfriends.
And I won't say it's hard for me to make
new girlfriends because they're still my girlfriends. They would go
for whatever, whatever they down for whatever these my ride
or that. It was like somebody gonna get us. Can't
(37:31):
go to dead. But if we don't, if we don't
calm down. So we became stealth like stuff ninjas, you know,
we shoot good stuff. Huh, So we we would have
some I told him I to be there to pick
them up because we had the limousine for all, you know,
the whole rest of the evening and so and ninety
percent of the ones that were in the car with me. Uh,
they said they had never been in a limousine and
(37:52):
never thought they would get into a limousine.
Speaker 4 (37:54):
I said her, roll with me, same' roll with me.
We could do big things.
Speaker 1 (37:58):
Then I guess I got too big. So anyway, we
pulling up to the pulling up to one of the
girl's houses and she comes saying, I gotta go to
the bathroom. I gotta go to the bathroom. I gotta
go to the bathroom.
Speaker 4 (38:07):
And so we pulled up in front of her house.
Speaker 1 (38:09):
She literally squats her behind out the the limousine back door,
and people watched on the tree, though I'm right, wait
a minute, watch a minute, and another one. Then she
started throwing up. Then after she got finished, pen on
the street and she threw up. I said, you have
to throw up outside that I ain't paying on two
hundred fifty that what wasn't two hundred fifty dollars cleaning
fee at the time. And she was like, okay, I
(38:30):
got together. I got it together.
Speaker 4 (38:31):
So she said, I'm just gonna go in the house.
And were watching her, you know, to make sure she
gets in the house safely.
Speaker 1 (38:37):
She tolds in the house, she double closed the door,
she turned back and running and she ran across the
street and she jumps into a woman's bedroom and she
told us that's when she decided she was a love yid.
So she we knew there with the only women living
over there, and I'm like, and she bentually, you know,
did a thing, and they got married, and his father,
(38:57):
I know, they're still together, you know. And people getting
married for of oftentimes for the wrong reason, you know,
for the kids, you know, for the money, don't get divorced.
You know they've been a being a high profile Uh,
the boy and all of them can be very very
involved to them, very very very very strange that you
(39:18):
are a strange with each other. And when you can't
come to a grips with Okay, you got three kids, Okay,
how do you want to set the kids up there
like that?
Speaker 3 (39:26):
And who gets the who?
Speaker 1 (39:27):
I want to know this what I always wanted to know.
Who gets the friends? Who gets the friends?
Speaker 2 (39:33):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (39:34):
If you you and she divorced, she and you divorced,
who gets the friends? Especially when you've been.
Speaker 4 (39:39):
A couple for so long?
Speaker 1 (39:40):
So who gets the friends? Who do you think will
be entitled to the friends?
Speaker 2 (39:44):
It's not uh in my sinion then someone who's entitled
to a friend? I mean, you can make friends together.
You just you're gonna hopefully you have friends before you
mess your maids, so you have you have other kids
know you while you're with your mate, you make you
can meet people separately together as a couple. I mean,
(40:06):
I think as a sign of insecurity to say that, okay,
when you become a couple, that you only can have friends.
That to both of you know that there can't be
any outside friends, and that if you should break up
that who would get their friends? You know, it's it
could come down to who caused the biggest problems to
(40:29):
cross the breakup in the first place, whether or not
a group A person may besides, they want to still
be your friend or not be your friends.
Speaker 1 (40:37):
Uh, that's an interesting I mean, you know, okay, because
before and.
Speaker 2 (40:45):
People are upset with you, then okay, then that means
that they're upset with you. Okay. If I did something
and they were upset with me, would that mean that
you could not talk to them because they were upset
with me?
Speaker 1 (40:59):
Oh? Friends, if you was actually their friends, if you're
actually their friends, you're saying you see that their friends?
Speaker 2 (41:07):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (41:07):
Are you just saying I'm your friends along with everything
is good? I mean, what is that a fair weather friend?
That's why you gotta have rid dye people.
Speaker 2 (41:18):
But things are going okay with your girlfriends. If we
would the Twitter with your girlfriends, then say, okay, I
can't talk to him ever again a line.
Speaker 1 (41:29):
Oh no, if we stood up, my girlfriends would be like, damn,
it's my time. I'll be getting mister Kennedy. Oh yeah,
I know he was gonna leave her, I'm gonna get
him down.
Speaker 2 (41:36):
And I'm like, not get you about if you think
that's gonna give your girlfriends because my my giryfriends. I don't.
I don't think you my knowledge and could say, oh
if we broke up, oh now it's my chance to
try to talk to her. I think they have a
little more respect for me that that when they would
you would not do.
Speaker 4 (41:54):
And I like, I like men who don't I like women.
Speaker 1 (41:57):
I like I like women who don't like my don't
physically care for my man. And when you and I
were getting together, they were like, well, I see so
nice to you, I said, because I just held them
to be treated nice.
Speaker 4 (42:08):
What are you talking about?
Speaker 1 (42:10):
And people always want to judge you. They always want
to judge you to gee or I don't know if
you should marry him because of us so.
Speaker 4 (42:16):
And so and such and such.
Speaker 1 (42:17):
You know, and doctor can break up marriages, that can
break up relationships and make them irreputable. And that's why
you gotta be careful who your friends are. Who do
you pick they'll beat your friends? And what do you
what kind of friends are you going to be? Because
just like you just said, are you a fair weather friend,
or you're only just there for the good time. And
come to find out, yes they were, because when you're
(42:38):
going up, everybody their mother's you. Oh they gonna love
you to pieces. But let you start going down the
hill and they're like, oh, chans are go all by yourself, Okay,
come along down, Come along down. Let that big snowball,
that big round snowball turn to a big giant snowball
and hits you at the end of the the end
of the lane. And I and most of most of
my girls, most of my girlfriends really love you. And
(43:00):
and it's not like that funny kind of you know,
couple kind of love because they know you want to
you can come after me all get to know.
Speaker 2 (43:13):
You're not gonna sleep with everybody you need or get
to know or become friends with. I mean, I don't
think anybody they actually think every single person they get
to know become friends with, that they're going to ask
somebody romantic affair with. Then that's not what life is about,
you know. To me, life is about meeting people getting
(43:35):
to know one another because we're only here for a
short period of time, and that you don't spend your time,
you know, alienating the people that just because you never
know where you may be at in life and what
that person may be at aded life. And if you
are a true friends, then you don't run because somebody
(43:57):
you know, you know, offend that you're at one which
because your you're only a friends as long as there's
never a feather ruffles. I don't understand that about friendship.
If it if it only can be when everything is
only good, because if it's your true friends, you're gonna
have good times and bad times. And if you're actually true,
(44:18):
true friends, you'll get through a good end of day, right,
and that you know your friends.
Speaker 4 (44:22):
Both of us had our own friends and when we
were in college.
Speaker 1 (44:26):
Both I have my group of friends. Okay, yeah, yous roudy.
We would kind just live it, just live it rout
while you got to look on your face and the
kidd's like, oh, you won't say that's a little thing.
Speaker 2 (44:40):
You know, Sure there was another, uh story that you
wanted to trumble about. I'm just saying this is that
random stuff.
Speaker 1 (44:49):
So what's the craziest thing that got you when you
first left Cleveland and you went you went to college,
what did you learn about you and when you were
in college, because they everybody loved you on the yard, everybody,
everybody loved you.
Speaker 2 (45:04):
I don't understand the question.
Speaker 1 (45:06):
Oh it wasn't of course. I was just making a
statement that everybody at school like you. M okay, And
we made friends in college that we are still friends
with today. So we finally and we've been through me
and men looked a killer and our friends we all
been through hell and how are I remember getting calls
in the middle of the night and one of my
(45:27):
friends was like, she was hysterical, and she was just saying, oh,
this is all I I don't know what to do,
and we go, okay, we got She needed us to
come and get her because she had said that her
husband was abusing her. And coming from a family of
social workers, I know, I knew that that's not something
you sit in. And she had never called me before, never,
(45:49):
Everything was all peachy.
Speaker 2 (45:50):
King, you know what religion an issue like that. You
could have been your friend. She had never called you.
Speaker 1 (45:57):
But he didn't wanted me to know. And I said,
why what you want? I could be the first person
you called. I mean I could be the first person
you call after you call Jesus and so you know,
and I wasn't ratting on anybody, you know. And they
loved to tell me the secrets of their lives beat
dark secrets. And I used to ask them, why are
y'all telling me all the stuff? And I was a
(46:18):
plus cycle. I was bigger than most of the girls.
But I couldn't have been no more than a five
ten if I was in a five ten and so,
but I still bigger than them because they were like
in a twoth. I'm like, what I put that on
my arm? And where fuss sleep? The whole dress? And
so you know, we did Greek habits and run a monk,
I have to say. But it was some sunny times
had by off and we still have lifelong friends right
(46:42):
now to this day that remember us when we were
not a couple, that was there with us when we
became a couple, that they were there when when when
you got branded and I had a baby and it
was on the same day or maybe what it was
on the second the next day, but it was all
in a twenty four hour cycle. Nonetheless, it was hilarious.
Speaker 4 (47:02):
It was hilarious.
Speaker 1 (47:03):
And when you you know, you come back from coming
back from home and going going back to school. We
had wonderful stories to tell. I remember you told me,
told me the story of when your brother could. I
didn't even know he was your brother was at the
college too, and if if you had asked him when
when I finally met him, I said, oh, I can
see the zember, I can see that. But there was
another guy there who I thought was your brother. You
(47:26):
know what I'm talking about writing ab okay, and so
this was funny. So your brother got home and tell
your mother and father. Oh, my dad. I don't know
what she did. I don't know what happened, but Keith
got this. She was he crazy cool friend and everybody
loves her, and everybody loves him, but they they loved
(47:48):
him because he deal with this crazy tick over here.
So everybody thought you were like this dismissed goal, magical guy.
And he was there. He's still pretty shy. Well, no,
he didn't come complete out that hit left and so
when when he came down, he said, she is so
wildest thing on the yard, I was like, what y'ard?
I just still knew yard thick. But then I found
(48:09):
out the captains is called the yard and I had
to get to I had to learn the lingo of
college people. And when I came in, I had to
lingo on the street, you know, and I could and
I could read and comprehend stuff, and I get to
say certain things. They used to tell me. I was that,
you know, you talk like you white. They was like,
hell does that mean? What the heck does that mean? Well?
You you say all the words correctly? Is you know,
(48:30):
we know when you'll put a T on the end
of it because you'll say points.
Speaker 4 (48:34):
And I'm like, okay.
Speaker 1 (48:36):
So I had to learn to you know, they call
it shifting out. I had to learn and shift through it,
shift through my life, you know, as a as a
girl and as a as a student. And then you
know how I hang out with them, and then I.
Speaker 4 (48:47):
Had to shift when I'm working with the corporate.
Speaker 1 (48:49):
People and not these two ladies. I gotta find their book.
Speaker 2 (48:51):
I have their book.
Speaker 1 (48:52):
It's called Shifting and it's dedicated and for women and
people of color who have to do the same thing.
You know, people that are buying language by nature and
so and I think that, and you tell me if
I'm wrong. Do you believe that American American public school
children are all children that are in school ought to
(49:14):
learn at least two different foreign languages that are not
their spoken language, not their natural language. I know what's
not worrying for that?
Speaker 2 (49:22):
It would be great. I mean, the more languages you know,
the better we will communicate with one another, the less
fear and anxieties that we would have about one another,
because once you start knowing someone, a lot of the
things that you have been told you about someone you
find out most of the time it's not the truth.
You know, because you know people use they tell you. Hope,
(49:46):
there are things about somebody else to make you fear somebody.
When we were growing up as kids, they had to
tell us to.
Speaker 1 (49:53):
Hate your worship, okay, and I didn't know anybody in Russia.
Myndport is as usually you should hate people in China
because they're communists, just because of that word communists meant
that you should just like that anybody in that country
because they were all under the banner of communists or
(50:14):
socialist and Russia and.
Speaker 6 (50:17):
The fact that we grew up disliking people that we
didn't even know, and but if we had have got
a chance to know them, and maybe it had a
chance to speak Russia, or we would speak you know,
Mandary Chinese.
Speaker 2 (50:30):
If you could hear them, you would hear what they're
just saying. You would be able understand with what they
were saying, and maybe you wouldn't hear them as much.
So you just learned in another languages as a great
thing to know.
Speaker 1 (50:41):
And this is this is what I found out when
you go to foreign countries, how I mean what I thought.
We were just treated completely like royalty when we went
to Africa, when we went to China, when we went
to Cancun, everybody was so kind to us, and there
was no reason I would not be kind to them.
Speaker 2 (50:59):
When you when you're a tourist, that people who generally
are a lot nice because you're not gonna be there alone. God,
we need to be remember that that's another thing that
they look for your generosity. You don't know where you go.
I mean, some some countries are are far bored than others.
And that's another part about traveling that you get to
know that everybody doesn't live all one way, and you
(51:24):
appreciate cultures far more when you see that they had
to go through something to get to where they were,
you know, and that you can appreciate sometimes more of
your background and your journey when you when you do
something like that, you get to think, Okay, for wow,
maybe you know when I thought that I had it bad,
(51:44):
I really mean if I didn't have it nearly as
bad when it because when I came over here to
this country that I saw how they live. I'm like,
even as our worst, we probably still had more than
what they had. Right Or you go, you go somewhere
and you say, oh, wow, look how they live. I mean,
they look like they're really living well, you know, how
would have been still growing up here? Right, people every
(52:08):
place goes on always, you know, four more and and
the fact that you still get to learn something new
about someone else. And that's and that's the best part
about traveling and and there and meeting other people and
getting to know other people and and then and I
mean now you have on your phone a translator, so
(52:28):
even when you cannot speak the language, now you can
just show your translator on and let them talk and
it will translate into the other person's language so they
can understand what you're saying.
Speaker 1 (52:40):
It is and that's important, that's important. It's very always
absolutely on your phone now everything's gonna be on your phone.
Everything's gonna be on your phone. I went to I
went to the What was that going on in somebody's offer?
I had to sign some papers one the other day
and I was like, well, he said, don't hit the
(53:00):
QR cod and just tap the phone layer phone on
this part. And then I'm like, what we got? We
had enough with the bar holes. Now we got to
deal with the q QR factor, and so it's important
that we do taking that.
Speaker 2 (53:13):
They used to move forward. Yes, I know, I mean,
it's not to be outdone. It's more to say a while,
it's another chance to learn. You always wanted to try
to learn. I mean, because as long as you are alive,
there's nothing wrong or learning something new.
Speaker 1 (53:26):
Every day. I learned something new every day. I'm making
a point on a new word. If I'm reading on
the internet, there are a lot of words that I
didn't know what they meant. I man, I could kind
of in the context of the symptoms. But I thank
goodness for the for the search engines, because I can
find out anywhere. And it doesn't make any sense our
for people to be educated in this world of technology.
(53:48):
And I understand it I U saw me a computer
and it sat on the floor in our office for
almost a year and a half because I can say
sataness in that box statements in that I don't want
to be bothered with that. Then everybody to start, you know,
doing the thing and being on the internet. This was
a side piece of history with Mother Duck when we
were in New Jersey and we lived in New Jersey
(54:10):
and worked in New York. When we were in New Jersey,
these two guys, and y'all know, y'all got my stuff.
These two young guys they had started like a uh
uh and we didn't know what it was like it
was supposed to be. It was like the beginning of
the Internet. And you know, they were here with all
these little gadgets and everything and they got it all working.
And they said, wonder if we sugged somebody that we
(54:31):
could you know, talk to, And they wanted to do
it on the song with the video. And this was
twenty something years ago, and so the kids came in
and asked me if I would do an interview, would
I'd be willing to do the very first interview on
this gadget? And it said sure absolutely. We did and
I asked for a copy of it because I had
to ask for a copy of all the stuff I say,
(54:52):
because they're beautiful, especially now we're artificial intelligence. They could
literally put a head on somebody, put put my body,
put my head on somebody a computer generating me with
the artificial intelligence, and they did. That was my very
first interview in New York, New Jersey. I couldn't tell
you that the name is my life depended on it.
(55:13):
But I've always thanked them for bringing me into the
twin that was the twentieth centuries. You know, we lived
in two sixteen century. Yes, Fatty's fricking amazing. And I
don't know why. No, it's not that why we can't
get together. You know a lot of people don't want
to see the rise, and finally they don't want to.
I heard this on one of the one of the
(55:34):
shows that they have, or I think it's gonna see it,
and it's somebody somebody asked him. It went right out
of my head. You know, I to talk things because
it come out of my head.
Speaker 4 (55:45):
This is what happened, happened to you and got eight Branchell.
Speaker 1 (55:48):
Bless and so I I you know, I'm looking at
what I got it, but I haven't. I haven't used
the other three hundred patrillion on this side. So I mean,
I'm not frightening my my aide over here, you know,
because I came down from the three killed the reserve,
Yeah I got I have to have someone the reserve.
(56:08):
While you think I keep my bail money in my shoe,
you know that you.
Speaker 2 (56:17):

need bail money for us. We gonna let listen. I
have been put out of Minus the Square Guard, and
I have been taken out of an after hours joint
because my cousin came in there and I'm sitting back.
I met that, cried him on the end of his bar.
It's the after I was joined. I got my little
hot tail. You know, I've got my cigarette and I'm
looking like, whoh, I'm.
Speaker 2 (56:40):

been staying SANCTI biout it, you know, doing doing his
work with the Lord and people said it, it never happened,
and it never happened, and it never happened, and it did.
And and when you said the kind of people that
I run around hang around with, I mean you think
about the people that we grew up with him, because

went to college and after I got married and all that,
I got to the Lady Park because I didn't have
the Lady Park before that.

Oh no, but you used to tell me. I'm saying,
why you gotta use language like that. I'm like, don't
get it. And sometimes you gotta come out because that's
the only thing that understands. And I want them to
understand I'm allergic to be here. Don't come at it
with me. And they will come up to my room

Speaker 3 (02:12):
Minute, we go, oh yeah here we are here, we
are do to get the dog. Just you when love
has made us fold and ug shut up, Cattwalny woman,
what is your problem?
Speaker 1 (02:25):
So something? Am I just you know at random stuff
that's going on in the world. And this is really
a major major league thing. When the Dodgers brought back
the uh the trophy for being the world champions in baseball,
and how cool was it for your mister Kennedy when
you what do you say when they named Fredy Freeman
because all of the people said fighty Fringman fighting free Man.
(02:46):
I didn't know that one. The one I know is
who is my facee? Mookie Beds and he was in
that in the game too. What was your thoughts on
cause we tell them what we were doing when the
uh I mean, the Dodgers went wherever they.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Wanted absolute the winning games. We were not even watching
the game. We were listening to the game off and
on and getting updates from other people when when the
game was going on, which was amazing what communication can do.
Because there was a guy that was next to us
who uh it was a big Yankees fan, I.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Mean because he's from the Bronx. I remember that guy.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
And he he kept, you know, letting everybody know about,
you know, what the Yankees were doing. And and most
of the people, as you would expect here in LA
were Dodger fans and so they were all quiet while
he was both the when the when the Yankees went
up four runs and and everybody kept winning, what's going on?
(03:43):
But I mean, it's funny, you know, you say, you know,
don't be so quick to say something is going to happen.
When it happened that the Dodgers came back and beat
the Yankees a big, a total surprise to him.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. The guy that was we were
showing the hallway on the hobby little together, and that
was something that I had learned about that I did
not know existed. Okay, so I went to a Hundredson
Memorial Hospital here in Pasadena. I had had to go
to the emergency room. Everything is all fine on the
western front. It was more of a preventive measure than
(04:21):
anything to make sure because I told you to I play.
Didn't tell you that I fell down the other day twice.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
I'm talking about.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Literally fell off the stoop in my poor in my
front door. Well we don't have a front door. But
nonetheless said flipped off the stoop because I, oh, I see,
That's why I'm most saying before you say it. Because
he takes care of me most of the time. You
know that he's got issues, and it's for Hollo with
the issues. And so they've been helping me get in
(04:49):
and out of the car until you know, my bones
and stuff get back there. I get back there better
one hundred percent. And so he's getting me out of
the car, putting, getting ready to put me in the card.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
He get their holes on.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
I'll be around and I'm going I could do this myself.
It's just one a little stupid. It ain't no big deal.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
And I fall a lot.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
I have been clumsy since I since I was twelve
years old, and you know, if it's gonna break, they
don't blame it on me because they know how clumsy
I am. And so I stepped, missed the steps, completely,
fell backwards, hit my head on something. I'm glad it
wasn't a pipe or anything. And then later on that evening,
(05:28):
this was in the morning when when when I fell
down on the ground going backwards, and then when I
got in the hounds it was like a few hours later. Yeah,
then I had a slight headache and I was a
little bit discombobulated because I'm like, what is going on?
And so some of the men, some of the men's
I take. I take more over the counter things than
I do pharmaceutical king things. And so uh, I come in,
(05:51):
you know, I get ready my Umo City shower, shamboo
and giant and I was. I had the tie wrap,
the murmad y'all. And I went to reef for something
and I said, I have a soup that it's on
my side of the bed, okay, because I can't really
get up in the bed just with my feet. I'm
not tall enough. And one Christmas, mister Kennedy got me up.
(06:11):
I thought it was my mean coat.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
That is what I bought.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
I didn't live up eye to ask about a mean
coat for the longest time. And so I, uh, while
you're back, and so wait, huh, well, oh that's not
you called it. Okay, no, none of that. So I
get up. I'm trying to get I reached with something.
I literally slid slid off the step. I slid annous.
(06:37):
That was the first fall. The second fall, I.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
Fell in my house right in the space between my dressers.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
And and my and the bed fell completely all hit
my face. I mean it was like a flat sight.
And then I had a oh it's going it was
that had a big gin out on my forehead. That's
where I got the bangs on together, a bit like sho,
that'sn't you in the car, and so come out. Gotta
tell you. They can say whatever they want to say
about who should marry who, and you always hear the
(07:06):
addict that there's somebody for everybody, and so it was
somebody for everybody in the New York said, well, do
you know what the new state and in New York is?
Do you know what the name of it is?
Speaker 2 (07:19):
No?
Speaker 1 (07:19):
No, no, no, Well y'all, you all in New York
know what it is because drown yourselves in sorrow, get
you a nice cool beverage, and.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
Just you'll get him next you'll get him next year.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Uh okay, well we'll see how that happens. And I mean,
it's been a it's just been a fantastic one. They
gave us the I mean when they went up eleventh
and or whatever it was eleven or four in the
game the Yankees won, where I was in to go,
oh god, okay, where are they taking us to? And
I understand it that in baseball, and I don't know,
(07:52):
maybe in football too. That wasn't gonna said, you know
in baseball. They just want you to play well, be
at your he has your peak game. And I'm telling you,
guys came out swinging backs. I mean what then the
Yankees have two Grandslams. I believe so two grands I
mean that was amazing. And they stent up God just
(08:15):
steal one. It got the trophy and Freddie Freeman got
his uh his uh uh MVP Award. I didn't know
that the MVP Award was named after the great will
he made Willie? Was it really made?
Speaker 4 (08:27):
What was his name?
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Called his name for me, mister Kennedy, you're talking about
William I know it. Boys made somewhere he. I did
not know that the MVP Award trophy.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
Was named after you.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
How great is that?
Speaker 2 (08:43):
That's that's the same.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
That is so great. That was like the cooler and
the young lady who sang at the uh, I know
what she could sing that will Well. I don't see
a lot of young people too much anymore, but I
like the ones that I like, you know, when.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
As they're getting older.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
You won that way. They called him fans, they be
your fans, but life and so that's what is important. Now,
Who did you like on the Dodgers things that you
would have if it wasn't Tady Freeman, who would you
have given him with the MVP too? For the ceries
I understand, not just the game.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
It was nobody else play better than him on the
Dodgers than him, So there's nobody else to consider for
the MVP trod because he played the best.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
He did play the best. I was just saying where
the head was? I told you it's at random stuff.
And sometimes I when I'm doing my research. Other people
might call it trolling, I call it doing research. Just
sounds so much fans here. There's so many great things
that are on the internet that are really really cool.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
And one of the okay, I want to bring up, uh, okay,
well what was the next what we were about to
talk about.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
That we want to talk gonna talk about their Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Didn't have a liberade right now that's going on as well.
It's about almost over now, you know, parade, but not then.
They having a private event in the inside Dodge the
stadium and people were able to purchase tickets and you
get attend to be around the Dodgers and their family
and have have have lunch or or probably late early
(10:20):
early dinner with the Dodgers. I guess the would be
considered because after parade then they were going to the
stadium where people were able to purchase tickets and have
stood down and eat with the with the family and
the players. Yeah, which is you know, I mean that's
one of the things you do with when you win,
you kind of have a select group of of your
(10:44):
fans be it become and meanle with the players and
their families. I mean there was there probably I don't know,
maybe a million people maybe for the parade route.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
And it was in downtown l A. Right because you
know me and tell me you.
Speaker 5 (11:00):
Were in traffic because they didn't the dacent to downtown,
so that that's why they closed.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
A lot of uh people are a lot of people
had the day off that work downtown because of the
parade being downtown and all these traffic and people being
down there. So people did, uh, you know, have the
day off. I mean if you had a chance to
see it on to you, which was a far better
seat than as being down something. Well, no, I take
(11:34):
that back, because if you're a dying darker fans, it's
nothing like being there at the parade, you know, yes,
it's nice to watch it at home, but it's nothing
like actually being there and say, I witnessed them go by.
You know, maybe they talked me a ball, you know
or something, because this does happen, you know, when they're
on the buses, so sometimes they do talk things out
(11:55):
to the fans sometimes.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
What I thought it was odd, uh and shown it
with me your thoughts on that, because there was I
think it was that. Think one of the Yankee games, well,
one of the fans leaned over and took it out
from one of the players, and you.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Know, you know he's been taken out. A fan did
rich up and grabbed the movie best by the wrist
and and uh and the other player the other uh
with this guy in the sayings they pulled the ball
out of his glove and threw it back onto the field.
But they still call it the Yankees player out because
(12:30):
he did make the kids and they and they adjected
those two UH fans for doing that.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
See that's just trifling.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
You know, you got a good thing going, you're having
a great time, and then all of a sudden you're
gonna go and lean over or lean over the fence
and whatever is the is the barcade, took it out
of the movie glove. I'm glad the refereen made that
call and then they put them out.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
Of the stable.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Okay, yeah, yes it is.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
That's what they need to do, all right. So now
moving on UH, I don't know. I mean, it was
down to the last wire, down to the final wire
of this UH his historical UH election where a vice
president Kamala Harris has actually got on a campaign and
(13:22):
just she picked up the gauntlet. She picked up the
ball and went through the gauntlet and said yes, I
will run. And she was. She has been doing a
great dealer fund raising and people you know, getting getting
in her and in her bank and you know, getting
into getting eye eye with her. And I'm voting for Comala, Yes,
(13:42):
I am voting for Kamala and Walts because we need
sanity back at our top leaders. Really, and so all
this stuff that's been going on for the election, you know,
I was complaining about it, why are there all these
rich politicians still asking you know, people who want to
fix income people got limited resources and these politicians got
(14:04):
hundreds of millions and billions of dollars in their coffer
and so to me, it's like they're asking us, you know,
pay for them to be you know, for a job
they were that's what they would do. Okay, but you're
getting ten million dollars here, fifty million dollars year. Why
are you nothing with Grandpa? And then you know they
got limited answers to in and that they really don't
hardly know what's going on. They're just gonna vote the
(14:26):
way they always voted, you know, because they don't have access.
And I think that that's one of the things that
really needs to be advanced up and we need and
some some states aren't you know, getting funding to rebuild
schools and to you know, rebuild the infrastructure. And we
got terrible bridges on everything. So you know, technically, you know,
(14:47):
they get in the office. When they get into office,
you know they'll meet with the with the real companies.
You know, we meet with the still companies. Who's gonna
get these contracts to help build us back up? And
that's what we gotta need. That's really what we're gonna need.
So when you when you look at the you look
at they were saying, oh, we got to numbers. The
Post they said they're the post. They said that you
(15:10):
see to me if they can. They can stack them
members any kind of way they want to.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
What say you, mister Kennedy, We said they could spect
the members any kind of way they want to. I mean, now,
if you're gonna believe in conspiracy and say they can
do this so they can do that, then why would
you even vote at all? Either you believe that, you know,
because everything somebody said, you don't just take that literally right,
(15:36):
and you don't just run off to the deepen and say, Okay,
well they said this, so it must just must be
the case. What you do do is that if you
want to actually, you know, make sure that that the
that the election goals will get out and vote. You
can vote these people out of office that are doing
these things. And and it wouldn't be out of the
(15:57):
ram to do that if you actually and took the
time to do that. You know, no matter what it's
being said, you don't believe everything. I mean, now, in
the age of the Internet and social media just constantly
things being put out there, constantly and will be put
(16:19):
out until election days. If you sit back and go
down the rabbit holes and try to go down the
rabbit holes and read every comment that's made. Listen to
every person on TV that makes a comment. It may
drive you baddy not to be realistic. I mean, you
know what you want to vote for, so listen to
(16:42):
all this rhetoric at the end should not be something
that you're listening to to start with, unless you are undecided.
And even if you're undecided, you really look at the
commercials and what they're really saying or what you get
on the social media, because everything that you see and here,
it's not always the case. And that's one of the
(17:03):
things that we have to really stop it, and you know,
listen to and be concerned about that. You don't just
take anything that's dead and run with it that you
maybe stopped and investigat. I mean, if it sounds too
good to be true, it won't just take it.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
It would probably it probably is.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
That it's not true a woman to take care. I
mean just like when it was when when you hear
people say that FEMA was not coming out and giving
age to people in North Carolina. It was not the truth.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
But even the government card is there, it was not
the truth.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Okay, But if you're putting it out there on social media,
because a lot unfortunately too many of us only here
the first through parts of anything and never want to
go any past that. Oh I heard that the FEMA
was doing this. Well, if you heard that FEMA was
feeding people and taking hearing people, did you mentioned that
(18:01):
too when you said that you heard something about FEMA
or here I heard that they were not helping people. Okay,
if you want to believe that that foolishness, then you will.
But if you stop the South for a moment, you know,
good will, FEMEN is down there helping people in North Carolina,
down in Florida and Georgia, you know, the South Carolina.
(18:24):
Any place that's been issues, FEMA has always been there
and always will be there. And there's no now that's.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Saying that they're not gonna fund FEMA, but they who
you know, Joe Biden is still the President of the
United States until January whatever. There's the inaugurations. That's it.
Always on the twentieth.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Yes, it is.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Reason to celebrate. And so because when we talk about
the mixed.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Messages, what happened, you said another reason with pro Verman.
They do it. They do it every four years.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
Okay, I just know, I just know.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
Every four years to low president for every every four
years we get.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
A new president, or they could go two times somebody mody.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Get re elected. We still we still have he still
has we sworn in right twenty for the next four years, right,
you know, so I couldn't.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Take another four and he is just that campaign has
just been at ad nauseum. And then like out here
in California, I'm sure they're around the state because they
keep sending us mist to to him and best and
you know you don't even live in that state, but
please send us still five dollars or your nine dollars
and forty four cents, and this is where you could
send it, and will you split a donation of five dollars?
(19:44):
You know, And a lot of people think, you know,
that's nothing. I could get that five dollars. But when
you talk about getting five dollars from one hundred million people,
that's a whole lot of money. And it's almost like
they think people are a money machine. Okay, I can't.
I gotta pay my life bill, Okay, but I want
to do to this college. You shouldn't even be thinking
like that. You try to make sure that you'll pint
you and your family are all right, you kind.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
Of answer your own question. You said, if you have
bills to pay that there's no reason for you don't
be consider they only ask them for a donation, right,
you don't have to do they ask for a donation
and wasn't a demand for a donation to stop and
they have a little bit of common sense have to
come back in. If you don't have the money to
(20:28):
be donate, don't donate. That's a simple solution. They only
can ask you if you want could contribute, if you can't.
If you want to do it, if you can't, then
move on. Don't guilt trip yourself in and give to
somebody a donation like you believe that would make a
difference in the election.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
I don't. I don't guilt trip about that. I mean
I know what to do for us and for our family,
and like you said.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
A families is that if you don't have the money,
then the fleet don't do it. I mean for people
who were listening to us, if you don't have the money,
don't do it. Don't be because that's been on the
internet or look, these are way too much just asking
you to do something if you know, if you can't
do it, just something don't do it. That's the best
(21:15):
way for that situation is just not to do it,
not even as entertainment. Front of the get from the beginning, I.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Haven't heard the governor of Florida. We heard from the
governor of North Carolina who called and said, no, that
is not what's happening. They're lying to you. And just
like they don't, they don't really care, you know, And
so we have to be the ones that care about
us and about our families, and about our community and
our states and then our national government. I mean, there's
(21:46):
a lot of layers that we need to be informed about.
And I think when you see it and they're coming
down into the water, you get us a billion advertising
all kinds of postcards, you know, vote for this one,
and they're gonna do that when they vote for out
when they got to do this one out here, we
got Prop thirty three or Prop thirty four. I believe
that it is so convoluted, you know, because they said
(22:09):
vote for this one because he's you know, he's an
attorney and he's defenseman who want to come out of jail,
and I have to be registered as a sex offender. Women,
you are telling about issues thirty three.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Four, Okay, it's not those are not about that. That's
uh you uh were changing of housing thirty three. It's
then that the rent is too high and that they
want you to get rid of a lot of the
rules that governs houses. So it's a hidden You have
(22:45):
to really look at it closely because it is saying
that the rent is too high, and so if you
vote for thirty three, it will lay your rents. It
will not lay your rents. It would take a lot
of safeguards that that have been put up to the
landlords or corporations, some thousand people out on the street,
because they'll be able to charge more rents. So you
(23:08):
have to really read your ballot to know exactly which
one is saying what. If you read it closely, you
will vote knowing.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
And please, please people, be mindful and understanding. Your vote counts.
Every one of us count every single one that's eighteen over.
Speaker 4 (23:28):
You know your vote counts.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
And I believe in California used to say that feelings
once they got out of jail, they couldn't they couldn't
register the vote, they'd never be able to vote again.
And that's another lie. And then we've got the people
who are like, I'm too far out, I don't know
how I'm gonna get there, And you know what am
I gonna do when we get there? Speaking of getting there,
it's mailing downs, mailing doubts. I got mine on to
(23:54):
take some place.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
I mean, you can make it. You canna always make
an excuse, but a needy simple way. The mail out
bout if you give them a good address where you
know where your where your mail will come, they will
send you a ballot any mail, because every registered voter
can't get a balance to vote, you know, by mail.
If you can't go to the actually go in and
(24:17):
vote on voting day. There are ways to assure that
you vote if you actually want to vote, mail in
ballid works just as well as you've been there present
on Tuesday. So don't limit yourself. I mean, if you
know that you can't be even also vote early. Yeah,
you can't until Tuesday, you know this early voting, and
(24:39):
that's in several states.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
Yeah, they say on something like nineteen minutes ballants have
been nailed in or more have been mailed in, which is.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
You know, another thing for people to know that people
are actually exercising their right to vote, and we all
should exercise our right to vote, no matter who you
believe is. You know, whether you think it's too much,
it will affess you. And that's the one thing I
think a lot of people don't think of is that
(25:11):
no matter what happens, you're offensive d that's right, and
you know, and there are so many issues on the table,
I mean, and just for them to because the GOP,
they just want to say, we're just gonna gut everything.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
We're gonna kill the Social Security, We're gonna get rid
of Medicare, We're gonna get rid of the E p A,
We're gonna get rid of this, We're gonna get rid
of that. And we're gonna keep burning fuel and we're
gonna keep polluting the air because that's money in our pockets.
And now that you gotta remindful of who is representing
you in your state, in your community, because that counts,
(25:43):
and you need to know who they are. A lot
of people don't even I can't. I'm not gonna go
and call any you know, status statress cities, but a
lot of people just you know, throw their hands up
beause I just don't care anymore. And I won't what
am I voting for anyway? And I don't feel like voting.
I don't want to vote. I don't need to have
all of that. When you have that attitude, you don't
have a place at the table. And we talk about
(26:05):
the table of equality, we're talking about the table of
you know, the higher ways of women for women and
people period.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
You know.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
But still our dollars are eighty seven cents. Your dollars
are one hundred cents, you know, So why am I
getting the same? Why am I getting a lower amount?
You know, just because I'm a woman and you get yours,
just because you're a man. If you're doing the same job,
you should get the same pay period. And the world
is changing. We used to call them firemen, We call
(26:35):
them firefighters, you know. So the world is changing, and
I think maybe you think maybe it's changing too fast
for a lot of people, especially our senior citizens who
have been in office for like three or four decades.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
It depends on where your mental ability is. Everybody's different
that no one science fits all to say that, all right,
if I understanding the youth that you don't want to
change with the times, then there's something wrong with you.
I mean, everybody will not change and catch every dude invention,
(27:12):
so you won't be in the and the latest fad. No, okay,
you're not out there dancing every night at at a
nightclub that was nineteen twenty year olds. O ass you're
You're not. You're not out there dancing. What I mean
just about the you know, going through the generation you
fit in at a sense, you know with these generations,
(27:34):
you know, as you get older, you'll your mental capacity
changes based on how much activity you choose to have
or not have or can have because we sometimes it's
not always the choice, because we have ailments that change
our lives, you know, as we get older, because in
our gene there may be different things that are running
(27:54):
with your particular family that can cost you to have
all you know, being the development diabetes at a letter
later age in life or it or made in the
development other diseases as you get older, because this is
something that runs through your family.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
And a lot of people are saying, yes, that has
a factor as far as your health is concerned. You know,
you need enough if your parents instantly brothers had a
heart attack, did they have diabetes, did they have cancer?
You know, I like this something on my application when
I'm filling out for a new service, and it said.
Speaker 4 (28:28):
If you are pregnant or you think he's gonna be pregnant.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
And so I was just bid. I just wanted to
see what would happen, and so I checked the pregnant box.
Said when we say what a miracle was about to happen.
So I am so ridiculous I could keep a straight faith.
And so she's the head no way down, tell makesure
(28:51):
that all the you know, the bacca checks. And she
got to the bout to said, if you are pregnant,
you're thinking about getting pregnant. She looked up in me,
like go fill out a new application, and we both
just crashed. But Cake, you just wipe it out.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
It wasn't you.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
You didn't want nobody, even the things that could have
possibilities to see you. When you're a little Christian in
the heads come home with stuff like this they do
in this story. When we were teenagers and I'm running
with my sister and help girlfriend, and I got my
girlfriend and we got two other people that so it's
like six of us and we're in our middle teens.
I'm not eighteen yet and I'm young, older than fourteen.
(29:29):
But they figured that we didn't get them some soul
degari somewhere around here, and we was we Hatholic and
run a month. It's a one.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
Say, I know, God.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
Watches the other old folks, babies and foods. I won't
the old person at the time, and I wasn't a baby.
Say you know what category I fell in? And we
were so dupious. We were get this Hagan Pinak ripples
that was my favorite one. And I don't even like
the whine because I like the bottle. And they made
great Christmas presents. Can't order nonetheless, So everybody got the
(30:00):
they love pining of whatever they drinking apples anti apple.
Speaker 4 (30:03):
Green springs or whatever it was.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
And so we would get from the Wrapper transit, remember
the Rappers transfer. We get on the WRAPPERD transit at
fifty fifth and we're gonna ride the Wrapper chanser to
the airport at say too, knew something was wrong when
they saw sixty back six black teenagers on the airport
on the bus and we wanted to sit in the back.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
It was like whether they should have thought something was wrong.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
Well there, I mean, there are dogs.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
That's pretty drudged simply because y'all were six. Y'all got
on the on the bus.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
Because I'm tearing up my story. I'm trying to tell
my story. If you're trying to have logic to it,
you don't gonna be making no logic to my hair street.
I'm trying to tell you a story. And I think
I told you this story a couple of times. But
it was hilarious. I used to do some crowd before
I became other left and so, uh, we're taking the
wrapping and we're all sitting in the back, you know,
(30:58):
and everybody unscrewing their bottle. Our mother said, you know
that you're drinking rot good if you got to screw
the top off the wine bobe, Well, how is he
gonna get it? How does we gonna get it out?
She said, you'll graduate the cooks, you know. And I
want to be like, oh okay. And so we riding
to the airport, we're doing aything, and we had this
little this little it was terrible. Don't don't ever do
(31:21):
this to anybody ever. So I'm the day used to
say I was the one that you could talk to
the people better than we can.
Speaker 4 (31:28):
So had we go up.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
I put a pillow up under my uh, up front
of my shirt. And I was pregnant, and so sometimes
I get so involved in my insanity, and so anyway,
this this particular stunt that we did, Okay, I put
a pill up on that one, A little throw pillows
up under my shirt. Looks like I was about eight
seven or eight months pregnant. So I'm just walking down
(31:51):
and you know, checking our people, and I hear, just
for the sake of the conversation, I hear Milton and Anna.
They walked they getting off the air of getting off
the air, off of the air playing nice you know,
nice young white couples, and you know, they're holding hand
and she got a big ring on her finger, and
so my that was me to just walk around. And
you know, then I started following him and he ain't
(32:12):
telling her torn.
Speaker 4 (32:12):
Can I help you with something?
Speaker 1 (32:14):
I'm like, oh, you know, now you want to help
me with something. Now you want to help me something.
This is what you helped me with. His little girlfriend.
She was just done, you know, she said, I know you,
and she runned through the hall and gon it through
the airport and little how he was shoot and you
could see me, and it was terrible. It really need
(32:34):
you geeze, I got Jezus white things. I was still living.
I don't work, and her red that was that was
back in the day. And they were like, but we
didn't have a lot of security at the airport doing that.
It look we weren't doing crazy stuff like that. And
they just they stopped laughing so hard. We had to
(32:55):
get we had to get one of the tics off
the floor because she was like, she fell off and
off the seat and he was hold on to the
seat and.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
He's not knowing.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
You're so good at that. You're like, no, look at
what's gonna be like next.
Speaker 4 (33:05):
But that's get I'm not doing that again.
Speaker 1 (33:07):
I'm crazy. I probably broke on somebody's mirror before it
even got married. And I done my pictons pensions with that,
and I thank people that not they didn't come looking
for me at the time, you know, because oh it
was I said do some crazy stuff. You said that
was crazy. I told you it was at random Friday,
(33:28):
I did another thing.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
I know, I didn't know. It was just that.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
Br That's what makes it funy because you just don't
know where I'm going with it.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
I'm German. I'm Germans crawl.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
Okay. So so you know we're talking about you know,
all at random stuff. So what's the craziest thing you
did when you were a teenager? Well, you didn't know me.
Don't be giving me that story. Look like, I ain't
never do anything that crazy.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
No, I going, No, I didn't do it thing that's crazy.
The craziest thing I did, we're not.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
I mean, I guess a lot to think back. It
was probably a few, but one of the craziest things
we were we had cut school one day, being a
couple of my friends, and we were down in the park.
And when we were in the park, we would get
ready to leave, and then my friend picked up a.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
Handful of rocks and he threw it onto the streets
at cars coming on the streets. And then we heard someone. Uh,
we heard the sound of someone slamming on their brakes
and and and uh we started running because we assumed
that when we took the rocks and threw out there,
(34:44):
he hit the car. And so we went we ran
back into the park to get away from that side
of the road or that side of the park, and
the guy uh went around, drove around to come to
the lower end of the park where we were running
that uh, and we thought we saw a car coming
up racing up on the on the side of the
(35:07):
guns around and ran back into the park. But he
didn't want to leave his car. So that's what today
because he didn't want to leave a car out there
on the street and maybe get hit by another car
because it was on a winding road. So that was
probably the craziest and something that I said, I want,
I want, I want to do that again.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
See, you need to use it back there speaking.
Speaker 2 (35:34):
I learned. I learned the quick lesson.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
I was said, Oh, just I just want this't go
you know, I'm just not gonna do that again.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
I'm not gonna do learn I learned from mistakes that
I made quite well. I didn't try to repeat any
mistakes that I made a second time. And you knew
it wasn't that to this day. Yes, we all make mistakes,
but I try to learn from my mistakes. But I
do learn, not try. I do love them, I'm gonna say,
because I really make the same mistake again if at
(36:05):
all possible.
Speaker 1 (36:07):
That's what's cool about being a teenage excuse, that's what's
cool about being a teenagers because we feel like we're invincible.
And then when you find out the church not you're not.
You know it's gonna happen to you somewhere someplace. You
know you're gonna be born, you live, you're gonna die.
Just deal with that and what you're gonna do. My
uncle god Rest said, so he said, uh, he did.
(36:28):
He did my sisters, one of my sisters us. When
he got up to speak, he didn't do the us,
but he got up to speak, and he said, I
have known this woman from the cradle to the grave,
and I'm gonna tell you she made she made a
big deal out of what she's gonna do with that
dash in between, because that's where you make your decisions.
(36:49):
That's way you make a mistake. That's where you learn
and grow. That's what when when the hated comes in,
or you know, you're feeling bad about stuff, but you
think somebody get mean to you, you know, all that
ugly stuff comes out, and not what I'm saying, don't
let the ugly stuff come out, you know, and well
don't let the other stuff come out around me. That's
really what I'm saying, because I know the kids that
(37:09):
could do some crazy stuff. We was in the limousine,
me and a bunch of my bunch of my girlfriends.
And I won't say it's hard for me to make
new girlfriends because they're still my girlfriends. They would go
for whatever, whatever they down for whatever these my ride
or that. It was like somebody gonna get us. Can't
(37:31):
go to dead. But if we don't, if we don't
calm down. So we became stealth like stuff ninjas, you know,
we shoot good stuff. Huh, So we we would have
some I told him I to be there to pick
them up because we had the limousine for all, you know,
the whole rest of the evening and so and ninety
percent of the ones that were in the car with me. Uh,
they said they had never been in a limousine and
(37:52):
never thought they would get into a limousine.
Speaker 4 (37:54):
I said her, roll with me, same' roll with me.
We could do big things.
Speaker 1 (37:58):
Then I guess I got too big. So anyway, we
pulling up to the pulling up to one of the
girl's houses and she comes saying, I gotta go to
the bathroom. I gotta go to the bathroom. I gotta
go to the bathroom.
Speaker 4 (38:07):
And so we pulled up in front of her house.
Speaker 1 (38:09):
She literally squats her behind out the the limousine back door,
and people watched on the tree, though I'm right, wait
a minute, watch a minute, and another one. Then she
started throwing up. Then after she got finished, pen on
the street and she threw up. I said, you have
to throw up outside that I ain't paying on two
hundred fifty that what wasn't two hundred fifty dollars cleaning
fee at the time. And she was like, okay, I
(38:30):
got together. I got it together.
Speaker 4 (38:31):
So she said, I'm just gonna go in the house.
And were watching her, you know, to make sure she
gets in the house safely.
Speaker 1 (38:37):
She tolds in the house, she double closed the door,
she turned back and running and she ran across the
street and she jumps into a woman's bedroom and she
told us that's when she decided she was a love yid.
So she we knew there with the only women living
over there, and I'm like, and she bentually, you know,
did a thing, and they got married, and his father,
(38:57):
I know, they're still together, you know. And people getting
married for of oftentimes for the wrong reason, you know,
for the kids, you know, for the money, don't get divorced.
You know they've been a being a high profile Uh,
the boy and all of them can be very very
involved to them, very very very very strange that you
(39:18):
are a strange with each other. And when you can't
come to a grips with Okay, you got three kids, Okay,
how do you want to set the kids up there
like that?
Speaker 3 (39:26):
And who gets the who?
Speaker 1 (39:27):
I want to know this what I always wanted to know.
Who gets the friends? Who gets the friends?
Speaker 2 (39:33):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (39:34):
If you you and she divorced, she and you divorced,
who gets the friends? Especially when you've been.
Speaker 4 (39:39):
A couple for so long?
Speaker 1 (39:40):
So who gets the friends? Who do you think will
be entitled to the friends?
Speaker 2 (39:44):
It's not uh in my sinion then someone who's entitled
to a friend? I mean, you can make friends together.
You just you're gonna hopefully you have friends before you
mess your maids, so you have you have other kids
know you while you're with your mate, you make you
can meet people separately together as a couple. I mean,
(40:06):
I think as a sign of insecurity to say that, okay,
when you become a couple, that you only can have friends.
That to both of you know that there can't be
any outside friends, and that if you should break up
that who would get their friends? You know, it's it
could come down to who caused the biggest problems to
(40:29):
cross the breakup in the first place, whether or not
a group A person may besides, they want to still
be your friend or not be your friends.
Speaker 1 (40:37):
Uh, that's an interesting I mean, you know, okay, because
before and.
Speaker 2 (40:45):
People are upset with you, then okay, then that means
that they're upset with you. Okay. If I did something
and they were upset with me, would that mean that
you could not talk to them because they were upset
with me?
Speaker 1 (40:59):
Oh? Friends, if you was actually their friends, if you're
actually their friends, you're saying you see that their friends?
Speaker 2 (41:07):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (41:07):
Are you just saying I'm your friends along with everything
is good? I mean, what is that a fair weather friend?
That's why you gotta have rid dye people.
Speaker 2 (41:18):
But things are going okay with your girlfriends. If we
would the Twitter with your girlfriends, then say, okay, I
can't talk to him ever again a line.
Speaker 1 (41:29):
Oh no, if we stood up, my girlfriends would be like, damn,
it's my time. I'll be getting mister Kennedy. Oh yeah,
I know he was gonna leave her, I'm gonna get
him down.
Speaker 2 (41:36):
And I'm like, not get you about if you think
that's gonna give your girlfriends because my my giryfriends. I don't.
I don't think you my knowledge and could say, oh
if we broke up, oh now it's my chance to
try to talk to her. I think they have a
little more respect for me that that when they would
you would not do.
Speaker 4 (41:54):
And I like, I like men who don't I like women.
Speaker 1 (41:57):
I like I like women who don't like my don't
physically care for my man. And when you and I
were getting together, they were like, well, I see so
nice to you, I said, because I just held them
to be treated nice.
Speaker 4 (42:08):
What are you talking about?
Speaker 1 (42:10):
And people always want to judge you. They always want
to judge you to gee or I don't know if
you should marry him because of us so.
Speaker 4 (42:16):
And so and such and such.
Speaker 1 (42:17):
You know, and doctor can break up marriages, that can
break up relationships and make them irreputable. And that's why
you gotta be careful who your friends are. Who do
you pick they'll beat your friends? And what do you
what kind of friends are you going to be? Because
just like you just said, are you a fair weather friend,
or you're only just there for the good time. And
come to find out, yes they were, because when you're
(42:38):
going up, everybody their mother's you. Oh they gonna love
you to pieces. But let you start going down the
hill and they're like, oh, chans are go all by yourself, Okay,
come along down, Come along down. Let that big snowball,
that big round snowball turn to a big giant snowball
and hits you at the end of the the end
of the lane. And I and most of most of
my girls, most of my girlfriends really love you. And
(43:00):
and it's not like that funny kind of you know,
couple kind of love because they know you want to
you can come after me all get to know.
Speaker 2 (43:13):
You're not gonna sleep with everybody you need or get
to know or become friends with. I mean, I don't
think anybody they actually think every single person they get
to know become friends with, that they're going to ask
somebody romantic affair with. Then that's not what life is about,
you know. To me, life is about meeting people getting
(43:35):
to know one another because we're only here for a
short period of time, and that you don't spend your time,
you know, alienating the people that just because you never
know where you may be at in life and what
that person may be at aded life. And if you
are a true friends, then you don't run because somebody
(43:57):
you know, you know, offend that you're at one which
because your you're only a friends as long as there's
never a feather ruffles. I don't understand that about friendship.
If it if it only can be when everything is
only good, because if it's your true friends, you're gonna
have good times and bad times. And if you're actually true,
(44:18):
true friends, you'll get through a good end of day, right,
and that you know your friends.
Speaker 4 (44:22):
Both of us had our own friends and when we
were in college.
Speaker 1 (44:26):
Both I have my group of friends. Okay, yeah, yous roudy.
We would kind just live it, just live it rout
while you got to look on your face and the
kidd's like, oh, you won't say that's a little thing.
Speaker 2 (44:40):
You know, Sure there was another, uh story that you
wanted to trumble about. I'm just saying this is that
random stuff.
Speaker 1 (44:49):
So what's the craziest thing that got you when you
first left Cleveland and you went you went to college,
what did you learn about you and when you were
in college, because they everybody loved you on the yard, everybody,
everybody loved you.
Speaker 2 (45:04):
I don't understand the question.
Speaker 1 (45:06):
Oh it wasn't of course. I was just making a
statement that everybody at school like you. M okay, And
we made friends in college that we are still friends
with today. So we finally and we've been through me
and men looked a killer and our friends we all
been through hell and how are I remember getting calls
in the middle of the night and one of my
(45:27):
friends was like, she was hysterical, and she was just saying, oh,
this is all I I don't know what to do,
and we go, okay, we got She needed us to
come and get her because she had said that her
husband was abusing her. And coming from a family of
social workers, I know, I knew that that's not something
you sit in. And she had never called me before, never,
(45:49):
Everything was all peachy.
Speaker 2 (45:50):
King, you know what religion an issue like that. You
could have been your friend. She had never called you.
Speaker 1 (45:57):
But he didn't wanted me to know. And I said,
why what you want? I could be the first person
you called. I mean I could be the first person
you call after you call Jesus and so you know,
and I wasn't ratting on anybody, you know. And they
loved to tell me the secrets of their lives beat
dark secrets. And I used to ask them, why are
y'all telling me all the stuff? And I was a
(46:18):
plus cycle. I was bigger than most of the girls.
But I couldn't have been no more than a five
ten if I was in a five ten and so,
but I still bigger than them because they were like
in a twoth. I'm like, what I put that on
my arm? And where fuss sleep? The whole dress? And
so you know, we did Greek habits and run a monk,
I have to say. But it was some sunny times
had by off and we still have lifelong friends right
(46:42):
now to this day that remember us when we were
not a couple, that was there with us when we
became a couple, that they were there when when when
you got branded and I had a baby and it
was on the same day or maybe what it was
on the second the next day, but it was all
in a twenty four hour cycle. Nonetheless, it was hilarious.
Speaker 4 (47:02):
It was hilarious.
Speaker 1 (47:03):
And when you you know, you come back from coming
back from home and going going back to school. We
had wonderful stories to tell. I remember you told me,
told me the story of when your brother could. I
didn't even know he was your brother was at the
college too, and if if you had asked him when
when I finally met him, I said, oh, I can
see the zember, I can see that. But there was
another guy there who I thought was your brother. You
(47:26):
know what I'm talking about writing ab okay, and so
this was funny. So your brother got home and tell
your mother and father. Oh, my dad. I don't know
what she did. I don't know what happened, but Keith
got this. She was he crazy cool friend and everybody
loves her, and everybody loves him, but they they loved
(47:48):
him because he deal with this crazy tick over here.
So everybody thought you were like this dismissed goal, magical guy.
And he was there. He's still pretty shy. Well, no,
he didn't come complete out that hit left and so
when when he came down, he said, she is so
wildest thing on the yard, I was like, what y'ard?
I just still knew yard thick. But then I found
(48:09):
out the captains is called the yard and I had
to get to I had to learn the lingo of
college people. And when I came in, I had to
lingo on the street, you know, and I could and
I could read and comprehend stuff, and I get to
say certain things. They used to tell me. I was that,
you know, you talk like you white. They was like,
hell does that mean? What the heck does that mean? Well?
You you say all the words correctly? Is you know,
(48:30):
we know when you'll put a T on the end
of it because you'll say points.
Speaker 4 (48:34):
And I'm like, okay.
Speaker 1 (48:36):
So I had to learn to you know, they call
it shifting out. I had to learn and shift through it,
shift through my life, you know, as a as a
girl and as a as a student. And then you
know how I hang out with them, and then I.
Speaker 4 (48:47):
Had to shift when I'm working with the corporate.
Speaker 1 (48:49):
People and not these two ladies. I gotta find their book.
Speaker 2 (48:51):
I have their book.
Speaker 1 (48:52):
It's called Shifting and it's dedicated and for women and
people of color who have to do the same thing.
You know, people that are buying language by nature and
so and I think that, and you tell me if
I'm wrong. Do you believe that American American public school
children are all children that are in school ought to
(49:14):
learn at least two different foreign languages that are not
their spoken language, not their natural language. I know what's
not worrying for that?
Speaker 2 (49:22):
It would be great. I mean, the more languages you know,
the better we will communicate with one another, the less
fear and anxieties that we would have about one another,
because once you start knowing someone, a lot of the
things that you have been told you about someone you
find out most of the time it's not the truth.
You know, because you know people use they tell you. Hope,
(49:46):
there are things about somebody else to make you fear somebody.
When we were growing up as kids, they had to
tell us to.
Speaker 1 (49:53):
Hate your worship, okay, and I didn't know anybody in Russia.
Myndport is as usually you should hate people in China
because they're communists, just because of that word communists meant
that you should just like that anybody in that country
because they were all under the banner of communists or
(50:14):
socialist and Russia and.
Speaker 6 (50:17):
The fact that we grew up disliking people that we
didn't even know, and but if we had have got
a chance to know them, and maybe it had a
chance to speak Russia, or we would speak you know,
Mandary Chinese.
Speaker 2 (50:30):
If you could hear them, you would hear what they're
just saying. You would be able understand with what they
were saying, and maybe you wouldn't hear them as much.
So you just learned in another languages as a great
thing to know.
Speaker 1 (50:41):
And this is this is what I found out when
you go to foreign countries, how I mean what I thought.
We were just treated completely like royalty when we went
to Africa, when we went to China, when we went
to Cancun, everybody was so kind to us, and there
was no reason I would not be kind to them.
Speaker 2 (50:59):
When you when you're a tourist, that people who generally
are a lot nice because you're not gonna be there alone. God,
we need to be remember that that's another thing that
they look for your generosity. You don't know where you go.
I mean, some some countries are are far bored than others.
And that's another part about traveling that you get to
know that everybody doesn't live all one way, and you
(51:24):
appreciate cultures far more when you see that they had
to go through something to get to where they were,
you know, and that you can appreciate sometimes more of
your background and your journey when you when you do
something like that, you get to think, Okay, for wow,
maybe you know when I thought that I had it bad,
(51:44):
I really mean if I didn't have it nearly as
bad when it because when I came over here to
this country that I saw how they live. I'm like,
even as our worst, we probably still had more than
what they had. Right Or you go, you go somewhere
and you say, oh, wow, look how they live. I mean,
they look like they're really living well, you know, how
would have been still growing up here? Right, people every
(52:08):
place goes on always, you know, four more and and
the fact that you still get to learn something new
about someone else. And that's and that's the best part
about traveling and and there and meeting other people and
getting to know other people and and then and I
mean now you have on your phone a translator, so
(52:28):
even when you cannot speak the language, now you can
just show your translator on and let them talk and
it will translate into the other person's language so they
can understand what you're saying.
Speaker 1 (52:40):
It is and that's important, that's important. It's very always
absolutely on your phone now everything's gonna be on your phone.
Everything's gonna be on your phone. I went to I
went to the What was that going on in somebody's offer?
I had to sign some papers one the other day
and I was like, well, he said, don't hit the
(53:00):
QR cod and just tap the phone layer phone on
this part. And then I'm like, what we got? We
had enough with the bar holes. Now we got to
deal with the q QR factor, and so it's important
that we do taking that.
Speaker 2 (53:13):
They used to move forward. Yes, I know, I mean,
it's not to be outdone. It's more to say a while,
it's another chance to learn. You always wanted to try
to learn. I mean, because as long as you are alive,
there's nothing wrong or learning something new.
Speaker 1 (53:26):
Every day. I learned something new every day. I'm making
a point on a new word. If I'm reading on
the internet, there are a lot of words that I
didn't know what they meant. I man, I could kind
of in the context of the symptoms. But I thank
goodness for the for the search engines, because I can
find out anywhere. And it doesn't make any sense our
for people to be educated in this world of technology.
(53:48):
And I understand it I U saw me a computer
and it sat on the floor in our office for
almost a year and a half because I can say
sataness in that box statements in that I don't want
to be bothered with that. Then everybody to start, you know,
doing the thing and being on the internet. This was
a side piece of history with Mother Duck when we
were in New Jersey and we lived in New Jersey
(54:10):
and worked in New York. When we were in New Jersey,
these two guys, and y'all know, y'all got my stuff.
These two young guys they had started like a uh
uh and we didn't know what it was like it
was supposed to be. It was like the beginning of
the Internet. And you know, they were here with all
these little gadgets and everything and they got it all working.
And they said, wonder if we sugged somebody that we
(54:31):
could you know, talk to, And they wanted to do
it on the song with the video. And this was
twenty something years ago, and so the kids came in
and asked me if I would do an interview, would
I'd be willing to do the very first interview on
this gadget? And it said sure absolutely. We did and
I asked for a copy of it because I had
to ask for a copy of all the stuff I say,
(54:52):
because they're beautiful, especially now we're artificial intelligence. They could
literally put a head on somebody, put put my body,
put my head on somebody a computer generating me with
the artificial intelligence, and they did. That was my very
first interview in New York, New Jersey. I couldn't tell
you that the name is my life depended on it.
(55:13):
But I've always thanked them for bringing me into the
twin that was the twentieth centuries. You know, we lived
in two sixteen century. Yes, Fatty's fricking amazing. And I
don't know why. No, it's not that why we can't
get together. You know a lot of people don't want
to see the rise, and finally they don't want to.
I heard this on one of the one of the
(55:34):
shows that they have, or I think it's gonna see it,
and it's somebody somebody asked him. It went right out
of my head. You know, I to talk things because
it come out of my head.
Speaker 4 (55:45):
This is what happened, happened to you and got eight Branchell.
Speaker 1 (55:48):
Bless and so I I you know, I'm looking at
what I got it, but I haven't. I haven't used
the other three hundred patrillion on this side. So I mean,
I'm not frightening my my aide over here, you know,
because I came down from the three killed the reserve,
Yeah I got I have to have someone the reserve.
(56:08):
While you think I keep my bail money in my shoe,
you know that you.
Speaker 2 (56:17):
Burn me bail money and what got and ground you hanging.
Speaker 1 (56:20):
Out with you and people that you go, you might
need bail money for us. We gonna let listen. I
have been put out of Minus the Square Guard, and
I have been taken out of an after hours joint
because my cousin came in there and I'm sitting back.
I met that, cried him on the end of his bar.
It's the after I was joined. I got my little
hot tail. You know, I've got my cigarette and I'm
looking like, whoh, I'm.
Speaker 2 (56:40):
Just we just having it.
Speaker 1 (56:42):
I didn't even know the place had a back door.
He comes up the backstairs and first person he sees
is me. Now he don't see my face, he sees

I don't know if somebody called him and told him

So I turned around. He was like, uh uh, where

ladies that whatever it was on.
Speaker 2 (57:25):

He said, you don't leave up out of here.
Speaker 4 (57:33):
I don't know where he's going with.
Speaker 1 (57:34):
You got to get up out of here because I
don't want to be Oh. He was a bunch of
four letter words, M and and he's been down. He's
been staying SANCTI biout it, you know, doing doing his
work with the Lord and people said it, it never happened,
and it never happened, and it never happened, and it did.
And and when you said the kind of people that
I run around hang around with, I mean you think
about the people that we grew up with him, because
(57:56):
we did grow up. I became a woman when I
went to college and after I got married and all that,
I got to the Lady Park because I didn't have
the Lady Park before that.
Speaker 2 (58:05):
I didn't have that.
Speaker 1 (58:07):
Oh no, but you used to tell me. I'm saying,
why you gotta use language like that. I'm like, don't
get it. And sometimes you gotta come out because that's
the only thing that understands. And I want them to
understand I'm allergic to be here. Don't come at it
with me. And they will come up to my room
and see you knew what was going.
