discausing different issues that affect that treat something like that.
It's the neighbors who wait the neighbors. Yeah, yeah, Yo, Yo,
what's going on? How y'all be? I know we're good,
we're chilling. Hey. I have a question for y'all. When
(00:26):
y'all were growing.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Up, did y'all have any posters on y'all wall? I
know I didn't because the first time I put one up,
somebody ain't liking.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
He was called my mom. Do you remember what the
poster was? What was the post?
Speaker 2 (00:46):
It was some one of them cartoon characters, something like
and uh, she want even the Scotch tape?
Speaker 1 (00:54):
She ain't. I'm not gonna say what I wanted to say.
I got it. I got that's funny. Well, well I did.
I had a few. I had a few, and mainly because.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
You know, I'm I'm I'm of the the age where
you have Biggie talking about Word Up magazine.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Like all that type of things, right, you know, so.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
You know you would take those those pictures and stuff
out and hang them up on your wall literally, And
I was one of those guys.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
I was one of them people. But I was always.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
About not necessarily putting up rappers.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
I always yeah, it was. It was.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
I had put up a few maybe like singing groups,
you know, maybe like a new audition or something like that. Okay,
because of whatever might have come in that particular magazine.
But you're talking about somebody who was cutting cutting out
all the girls. Yeah, bruh, Yeah it was. You know,
(02:02):
let that be in Rock Sande Shante or you know,
or you know MC light or something like that. You know,
just kind of yeah, one of something along those lines.
Let it be something like that. Yeah, I had.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
I had the ladies on the wall. Man. I'm actually shocked, though, Mike,
I'm not. Yeah, I mean I was.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Look, it wasn't the basic in my mom and my family, huh,
like a picture of your family whatever that really yep.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
My mom, let us do that.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
I didn't have as many as my brother like he
just like at least I took care and I would
actually take the system and cut him out.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
He'll just rip him out. The book about about that.
He just the book.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
And the only reason why I did that. It wasn't
so much I wanted to do with myself. I saw
somebody else doing that. That's pretty decent, you get what
I mean, because I didn't have any other way of
putting up any other art on my walls.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
You get what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Yeah, back then, we ain't really we ain't really had
posters like that Jet magazine, Ebony, that was the posters,
right right, Jet Magazine. Yeah, I said that, Yeah, I know, no,
but uh, you know they had some pretty pictures in there.
They always had pictures, you know, Jet Ebony, you know
(03:40):
some of you know, some of them had some pretty
uh the wus that after that essence that I didn't
do essence too much, but basically it was just Jets.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Yeah, now you know, a very underrated magazine that you know,
it had some very flattering pictures like hey, you know,
people look kind of nice in it.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
TV magazine, TV guy, remember but you remember that though?
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Yeah, yeah, you know you like, I mean, even though
the pictures were small or whatever, but it was like wow,
like that's a again, like uh, just showing age. And
for those of you who knows whether you're older than
me or younger, like I had a lot of I
had a nice little crush on two D. Why I
(04:37):
knew you was why two D becuz man she I
don't know what it was. It was about her braces.
I don't know what it was, but yeah, I had
a that's that for those of you who don't know
that's facts. I'm like, I was about to say that, right,
but yeah, man, I mean two D Man like Kim Fields.
(04:58):
I always thought she was pretty. I did, but I
had a nice little crush on her back in the
day when I was when I was younger, man, Like
that was because everybody else was. I guess I put
it like this because she was shorter. I don't know
how how she was in all real life, but because
she was shorter than everybody else, it gave her.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
It gave the.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Impression like she was younger, you get what I mean.
So it's like, all right, you know I'm young, gives
me impression I might have a.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Chance, right, Okay, you you know what I mean. But yeah,
I mean I think that and that's kind of where
you know, I had.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
I had a little picture of her from out of
the TV guide. I can't remember when when it was,
but yeah, care of her from the TV guy. So
that's that's what made me bring that up. To Facts
of Life. Yeah, man, yeah, I think I believe it
was from the TV guy. Yeah, but I used to
sit there and look at it all the time because
(06:00):
because everybody had it every yeah yeah yeah, but every Sunday. Yeah,
I think it was every Sunday, every Sunday. Yeah, that's
when they inquired and all they used to be out right, Oh,
the bulletin too.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
I don't remember that one. You don't remember the bulletin?
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Yeah, man, I mean, but you know, how many have
you remember putting posters up on your wall?
Speaker 1 (06:26):
You know?
Speaker 2 (06:26):
That was because I mean, like you said, like, I
don't remember that many posters being out there like that,
Like the only way you were able to get them
was from the magazine itself.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Well you know what. Also, people used to draw their
own people character.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Yeah like that, you know, but everybody I wasn't gifted
like that, right, you know how you draw a car
with just a stick in two circles and.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
That was a car? Wow, I mean that was my cousin, Like,
that was that was his car.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
The fame the famous old stick people, right, right's mimmy.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
A dog dogs like a stick you know.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
But but yeah, I mean so so that was my
my whole thing just you know, posters, you know, every
now and then, depending on a toy might have something
with it, maybe whether it was the cardboard box or
something like that. But no, it was more or less
that whole word of magazine. What was the other one
(07:33):
at that time?
Speaker 1 (07:34):
X x L. That's a little older, I guess, more teenage.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Yeah it was the Rapper x x x L. Yeah,
I thought it was x x L. I don't remember what,
but but it was about rappers and stuff pornographic to me, I.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Don't know, I never heard EXL. Yeah. Man, and maybe
I'm saying it wrong. Please google it.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Oh no, no, right, here's okay making it up?
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Oh yeah, right.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Yo, yeah, you know, so I mean, and I don't
remember when that actually had come out, but I remember
looking through that getting ideas and all that type of stuff.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
But yeah, I mean, and what was the other magazine?
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Because you know, when you're in elementary school, they always
making you cut out pictures and all that type of stuff.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, you know, so I think they
called it back then.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Man, I can't think of what it is, but but
but yeah, you know, so that was the thing, like, hey,
some of my aunts who had old magazines. I needed
stuff for school, you know, hey, you know, and then
you start to realize like, oh wow, you know these
people are pretty well.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
That's what it's called current events. Current events. Wait man,
current that was the name of magazine. No, that's what
you have to do. Oh yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes,
yes yes yes yes yes.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Yes yes yeah yeah about the magazine, right yeah, yeah,
no man, I mean but that was that was uh
uh because I mean, because what was current Events? Like
every week something like that, something like that. Yeah, you know,
(09:28):
but then every now and then you had to cut
out pictures and cuts paste them all.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
That crazy behind paste, right, white the topic of it, like.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
That's when paste.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
I mean my version of it was and the plastic
container and they had the little dipstick thing and you had.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
To paste it on the oh yeah, with the brush.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
They had the brush youing to.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
I don't remember the brush. I just remember it was plastic.
It was like, yeah I remember that. Yeah, they remember
the squeeze. But the thing is, get got dried up
so fast?
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Right? Yeah? Well, how many of y'all remember paste? Though?
You know?
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Now also talking about in reference to the posters, because
you said something about the tape, putting a tape up
on the wall. So after a while, because I know
you're talking about as far as tape, then I then
I just discovered thumb tacks. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Now
(10:32):
when the thing came about what middle school, I don't remember.
I don't remember, but I will say this though. First
of all, those of you who used to live in
those houses that was built in eighteen ten, and you
know the walls were made a plaster, getting a thumbtack
in that type.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Of wall will kill you, number one.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Then number two, you made a statement also about how
your mom didn't want all the holes and stuff on
the wall. Exactly I remember, because I couldn't get the
stupid thumb tech in the wall all the way and
then the picture will fall out.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
I was trying to start a whole new hole.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
So now I can understand why your mom might have
told you, like, no, you ain't messing up my walls.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Food, Get what I mean. I gotta definitely relate to that.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
You know, man, you used to hammer the jew right,
went too deep in? Yeah, you got a dint in
the hole dad in the wall. Excuse me, right, man,
listen that was those were the days man, and then
now we you know, we get to where our kids are.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
You know, I I funny enough upgrading my kids.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
At a young age, we started putting posters and stuff
in picture frames. Now, if you're gonna do this, we're
gonna do this thing, right.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
You know what.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
My daughter, they had pictures up, posters up in that room.
I ain't tell you that. I was like, it's your room.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Do what you got right, right.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
But they would do stuff like like they had like
an aquarium. You know, I don't know where we got
this stupid poster from, but it was like one that
had like all these fish in it. They didn't do
too many Disney coasters.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Not nothing major like that.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Now my son, every now and then he would do
maybe a superhero type thing, even until today it's still
a superhero or he's really into anime, so he'll still
look at some anime bolsters.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
You know.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Janey, my daughter, she's more into hip hop culture. So
but she'll do like Tupac, Biggie J Cole or whatever.
You know, so certain certain people. She's not for everyone that's.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Like trendy, trendy, right, Okay, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Right, now that's what she had. That's on her wall
right now. Okay, you know she had it in school.
While she was in college, she brought it home like, hey,
I really like these. I won't to put them back
up there?
Speaker 1 (13:05):
You go. What's nothing wrong with that?
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Now? The other thing that they used to do too again,
and I'm just showing the evolution of posters. So even
though they didn't do posters all like that, you know,
especially from a kid perspective, like hey, Disney and all
that stuff, the other thing they did or what we
encourage was doing when you did your puzzles. Yeah, you
(13:28):
finished the puzzle and then we put that in a
picture frame. We had some puzzles put in a picture frame.
I don't know what family was in. Why do you
say that we ain't do that? No, I mean I didn't.
I mean we did that with the kids. I didn't
have that in my life.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
No, we my mom ain't do that at all. No, no, no, right, no,
I mean we didn't.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
I don't know if I had a puzzle when I
was a kid, I mean I did, Like that's it.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Yeah, I don't remember. Well, you remember that we used
to get the puzzle.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
I mean not the picture frames, I mean, excuse me, posters,
the serial box.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. See.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Now, now you have siblings though about they're not y'all
not the same age though you and your siblings.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
The youngest is thirty seven.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
So so because my my brother, it's two years younger
than me. So we had to fight over that stuff.
Did you have that type of no? No, yeah, yeah
we were. We will fight over there. We will fight
over that and a toy. Let there be a toy
in the box.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Did we have to fight over toys? Uh? No, We
always share our toys.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
Sorry, man, listen, man, we we fought over that, you know,
and it now looking at it, it's like, why did
we fight over these cheese little toys?
Speaker 1 (14:54):
That was the thing though.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Yeah, yeah, but you know we always like because we
but cousin. We grew up like you know, we was
brothers and sisters and we shared our toys and all that.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Even we even share the ass beatings we got. I
mean yeah, I mean I.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
Could relate to that most definitely. I could relate to that,
you know, but I still don't understand why. I don't
understand why why we couldn't share. I didn't Yeah, even
till today, like we don't share very well, Oh yeah,
we don't. We do not not very much well once again,
(15:31):
water and oil? Oh yeah, most definitely, you know. And
it was funny because we would fight over like I'm
talking about toys, but then originally we talked about posters.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
So he would talk about.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Hey, why your stuff got a little better than mine, Well,
you don't want that ripped out your your pictures and
I'm the one that took mine and placed them up there,
you know, even like so so I'm not sure. I mean,
people out there can't can relate to this, you know,
but you are, uh, your parent comes home, y'all gotta
(16:09):
go to the market, right, And so it would for
us going to the market, it will always be a
Friday night.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
That was that was the thing. That's when we went
to the market. We went with Friday night.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
And so my mom every now and then she would say, hey,
you know what, you're able to get one thing right,
And so my brother, it seemed as though anytime whatever
I chose always appeared to be the more smarter choice.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
So here's what I mean by that.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
So for an example, let's say she's like, you get
one thing and let's say it's five dollars, you know, whatever,
whatever it is, it has to be like five dollars worth.
So I might because I don't want to snack chips
or something like that, I might say, you know what,
let me get the magazine, right, the magazine.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Where he might get food.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Well, the issue would be which one lasts longer, the
food or the magazine. And so now you're so I
get the magazine and I take the stuff out. I'm
cutting it up, putting it up on my wall, right,
making my room look decorative. And and here's the reason why.
(17:33):
The other reason why, I was trying to make it
more boyish, like, hey, I'm I'm more into girls now,
you know, because my room.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
Was pink.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
When we moved into this house. Man, Like, my room
was pink. It took a little while for as the
painted blue. I'm sorry about to say.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
We never thought about painting paint. We were renting, you know.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
So so I was like, listen, like I got to
kind of prove myself a little bit, just so I
make sure I'm good, right, right, But yeah, so so
I had these pictures and all that type of stuff.
But he would eat his snack, he would eat up
his chips in two days maybe three, right, But then
(18:16):
he'll go come in my room and be like, well.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Where did you get that from? Or how did you
do that? Or whatever it is.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
And now he's he's a little upset because now my
investment is lasting longer.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Well, what do you want? What do you expect? Right?
And not?
Speaker 2 (18:32):
And here's the thing that I think none of us
really take consideration. We don't always understand the other person's influence.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
You get what I mean.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
So, yo, I listened to what people talking about at school.
I want to see what the hype is about. You
get what I mean? So, yeah, I want to decorate it.
And now all of a sudden, I got something to
look at us.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
I'm going to sleep right, Okay?
Speaker 2 (18:58):
No, because and I say that because now I was like, hey,
you know, I wonder what is that life like to
be you know, on camera, to have pictures, you know,
to be on TV, all those type of things. You know,
you just wonder, right, And sometimes if you listen to
the countdown, paradin't not countdown for those of you who
(19:19):
live in Philly, now you got something to look at, Like, wow,
I can't imagine you singing this song that I'm listening.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
To and not.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Yo, bro I was man, I was, that was that
was my That was my But but again, so where
said kid whereas that's more or less teenager type times.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
You get what I'm saying. But but yeah, that was.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
My my my my moments of having posters because I won,
I heard what everybody else was talking about and we
then there. I didn't ruized that I had a crush
on some of these other people like to D. Yeah.
I mean you know, I didn't like people like D
(20:06):
off of what's happening?
Speaker 1 (20:08):
Oh that's you. You know what I'm saying, Like, nobody
what that like? Yo? It would be funny, but nobody.
I didn't want that. I wanted less drama from a kid.
I wanted less. I'm trying to think, do I have
(20:29):
crush somebody.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
That?
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Man? Listen, I had. I mean, it was it's more
to it than that.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
I mean, you want to talk about Dallas Falcon's Crest,
Oh yeah some of them.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
Yeah that's when Birthday have to get home and watch
them shows. Dude.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Uh yeah, man, I mean it was something really really
pretty ladies. Yeah, there were there were that there will
help influence you know, whatever got going on, and I
didn't realize until you know, you get older when you
see that stuff on TV. Again, this is marketing, right,
(21:11):
you know, you don't realize that, Hey, they're on TV.
They wear these Jordass jeans. Now everybody's wearing Jordas right, right,
Jordanassas schools, Catholics. Yeah, you know, everybody trying to find
out who's wearing what.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
And next thing, you know, everybody wearing it.
Speaker 2 (21:29):

individuals that we possibly looked up to. Now we want

like a picture of your family whatever that really yep.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
My mom, let us do that.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
I didn't have as many as my brother like he
just like at least I took care and I would
actually take the system and cut him out.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
He'll just rip him out. The book about about that.
He just the book.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
And the only reason why I did that. It wasn't
so much I wanted to do with myself. I saw
somebody else doing that. That's pretty decent, you get what
I mean, because I didn't have any other way of
putting up any other art on my walls.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
You get what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Yeah, back then, we ain't really we ain't really had
posters like that Jet magazine, Ebony, that was the posters,
right right, Jet Magazine. Yeah, I said that, Yeah, I know, no,
but uh, you know they had some pretty pictures in there.
They always had pictures, you know, Jet Ebony, you know
(03:40):
some of you know, some of them had some pretty
uh the wus that after that essence that I didn't
do essence too much, but basically it was just Jets.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Yeah, now you know, a very underrated magazine that you know,
it had some very flattering pictures like hey, you know,
people look kind of nice in it.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
TV magazine, TV guy, remember but you remember that though?
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Yeah, yeah, you know you like, I mean, even though
the pictures were small or whatever, but it was like wow,
like that's a again, like uh, just showing age. And
for those of you who knows whether you're older than
me or younger, like I had a lot of I
had a nice little crush on two D. Why I
(04:37):
knew you was why two D becuz man she I
don't know what it was. It was about her braces.
I don't know what it was, but yeah, I had
a that's that for those of you who don't know
that's facts. I'm like, I was about to say that, right,
but yeah, man, I mean two D Man like Kim Fields.
(04:58):
I always thought she was pretty. I did, but I
had a nice little crush on her back in the
day when I was when I was younger, man, Like
that was because everybody else was. I guess I put
it like this because she was shorter. I don't know
how how she was in all real life, but because
she was shorter than everybody else, it gave her.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
It gave the.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Impression like she was younger, you get what I mean.
So it's like, all right, you know I'm young, gives
me impression I might have a.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Chance, right, Okay, you you know what I mean. But yeah,
I mean I think that and that's kind of where
you know, I had.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
I had a little picture of her from out of
the TV guide. I can't remember when when it was,
but yeah, care of her from the TV guy. So
that's that's what made me bring that up. To Facts
of Life. Yeah, man, yeah, I think I believe it
was from the TV guy. Yeah, but I used to
sit there and look at it all the time because
(06:00):
because everybody had it every yeah yeah yeah, but every Sunday. Yeah,
I think it was every Sunday, every Sunday. Yeah, that's
when they inquired and all they used to be out right, Oh,
the bulletin too.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
I don't remember that one. You don't remember the bulletin?
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Yeah, man, I mean, but you know, how many have
you remember putting posters up on your wall?
Speaker 1 (06:26):
You know?
Speaker 2 (06:26):
That was because I mean, like you said, like, I
don't remember that many posters being out there like that,
Like the only way you were able to get them
was from the magazine itself.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Well you know what. Also, people used to draw their
own people character.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Yeah like that, you know, but everybody I wasn't gifted
like that, right, you know how you draw a car
with just a stick in two circles and.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
That was a car? Wow, I mean that was my cousin, Like,
that was that was his car.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
The fame the famous old stick people, right, right's mimmy.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
A dog dogs like a stick you know.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
But but yeah, I mean so so that was my
my whole thing just you know, posters, you know, every
now and then, depending on a toy might have something
with it, maybe whether it was the cardboard box or
something like that. But no, it was more or less
that whole word of magazine. What was the other one
(07:33):
at that time?
Speaker 1 (07:34):
X x L. That's a little older, I guess, more teenage.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Yeah it was the Rapper x x x L. Yeah,
I thought it was x x L. I don't remember what,
but but it was about rappers and stuff pornographic to me, I.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Don't know, I never heard EXL. Yeah. Man, and maybe
I'm saying it wrong. Please google it.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Oh no, no, right, here's okay making it up?
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Oh yeah, right.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Yo, yeah, you know, so I mean, and I don't
remember when that actually had come out, but I remember
looking through that getting ideas and all that type of stuff.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
But yeah, I mean, and what was the other magazine?
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Because you know, when you're in elementary school, they always
making you cut out pictures and all that type of stuff.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, you know, so I think they
called it back then.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Man, I can't think of what it is, but but
but yeah, you know, so that was the thing, like, hey,
some of my aunts who had old magazines. I needed
stuff for school, you know, hey, you know, and then
you start to realize like, oh wow, you know these
people are pretty well.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
That's what it's called current events. Current events. Wait man,
current that was the name of magazine. No, that's what
you have to do. Oh yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes,
yes yes yes yes yes.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Yes yes yeah yeah about the magazine, right yeah, yeah,
no man, I mean but that was that was uh
uh because I mean, because what was current Events? Like
every week something like that, something like that. Yeah, you know,
(09:28):
but then every now and then you had to cut
out pictures and cuts paste them all.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
That crazy behind paste, right, white the topic of it, like.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
That's when paste.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
I mean my version of it was and the plastic
container and they had the little dipstick thing and you had.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
To paste it on the oh yeah, with the brush.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
They had the brush youing to.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
I don't remember the brush. I just remember it was plastic.
It was like, yeah I remember that. Yeah, they remember
the squeeze. But the thing is, get got dried up
so fast?
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Right? Yeah? Well, how many of y'all remember paste? Though?
You know?
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Now also talking about in reference to the posters, because
you said something about the tape, putting a tape up
on the wall. So after a while, because I know
you're talking about as far as tape, then I then
I just discovered thumb tacks. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Now
(10:32):
when the thing came about what middle school, I don't remember.
I don't remember, but I will say this though. First
of all, those of you who used to live in
those houses that was built in eighteen ten, and you
know the walls were made a plaster, getting a thumbtack
in that type.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Of wall will kill you, number one.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Then number two, you made a statement also about how
your mom didn't want all the holes and stuff on
the wall. Exactly I remember, because I couldn't get the
stupid thumb tech in the wall all the way and
then the picture will fall out.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
I was trying to start a whole new hole.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
So now I can understand why your mom might have
told you, like, no, you ain't messing up my walls.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Food, Get what I mean. I gotta definitely relate to that.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
You know, man, you used to hammer the jew right,
went too deep in? Yeah, you got a dint in
the hole dad in the wall. Excuse me, right, man,
listen that was those were the days man, and then
now we you know, we get to where our kids are.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
You know, I I funny enough upgrading my kids.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
At a young age, we started putting posters and stuff
in picture frames. Now, if you're gonna do this, we're
gonna do this thing, right.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
You know what.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
My daughter, they had pictures up, posters up in that room.
I ain't tell you that. I was like, it's your room.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Do what you got right, right.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
But they would do stuff like like they had like
an aquarium. You know, I don't know where we got
this stupid poster from, but it was like one that
had like all these fish in it. They didn't do
too many Disney coasters.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Not nothing major like that.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Now my son, every now and then he would do
maybe a superhero type thing, even until today it's still
a superhero or he's really into anime, so he'll still
look at some anime bolsters.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
You know.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Janey, my daughter, she's more into hip hop culture. So
but she'll do like Tupac, Biggie J Cole or whatever.
You know, so certain certain people. She's not for everyone that's.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Like trendy, trendy, right, Okay, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Right, now that's what she had. That's on her wall
right now. Okay, you know she had it in school.
While she was in college, she brought it home like, hey,
I really like these. I won't to put them back
up there?
Speaker 1 (13:05):
You go. What's nothing wrong with that?
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Now? The other thing that they used to do too again,
and I'm just showing the evolution of posters. So even
though they didn't do posters all like that, you know,
especially from a kid perspective, like hey, Disney and all
that stuff, the other thing they did or what we
encourage was doing when you did your puzzles. Yeah, you
(13:28):
finished the puzzle and then we put that in a
picture frame. We had some puzzles put in a picture frame.
I don't know what family was in. Why do you
say that we ain't do that? No, I mean I didn't.
I mean we did that with the kids. I didn't
have that in my life.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
No, we my mom ain't do that at all. No, no, no, right, no,
I mean we didn't.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
I don't know if I had a puzzle when I
was a kid, I mean I did, Like that's it.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Yeah, I don't remember. Well, you remember that we used
to get the puzzle.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
I mean not the picture frames, I mean, excuse me, posters,
the serial box.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. See.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Now, now you have siblings though about they're not y'all
not the same age though you and your siblings.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
The youngest is thirty seven.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
So so because my my brother, it's two years younger
than me. So we had to fight over that stuff.
Did you have that type of no? No, yeah, yeah
we were. We will fight over there. We will fight
over that and a toy. Let there be a toy
in the box.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Did we have to fight over toys? Uh? No, We
always share our toys.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
Sorry, man, listen, man, we we fought over that, you know,
and it now looking at it, it's like, why did
we fight over these cheese little toys?
Speaker 1 (14:54):
That was the thing though.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Yeah, yeah, but you know we always like because we
but cousin. We grew up like you know, we was
brothers and sisters and we shared our toys and all that.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Even we even share the ass beatings we got. I
mean yeah, I mean I.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
Could relate to that most definitely. I could relate to that,
you know, but I still don't understand why. I don't
understand why why we couldn't share. I didn't Yeah, even
till today, like we don't share very well, Oh yeah,
we don't. We do not not very much well once again,
(15:31):
water and oil? Oh yeah, most definitely, you know. And
it was funny because we would fight over like I'm
talking about toys, but then originally we talked about posters.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
So he would talk about.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Hey, why your stuff got a little better than mine, Well,
you don't want that ripped out your your pictures and
I'm the one that took mine and placed them up there,
you know, even like so so I'm not sure. I mean,
people out there can't can relate to this, you know,
but you are, uh, your parent comes home, y'all gotta
(16:09):
go to the market, right, And so it would for
us going to the market, it will always be a
Friday night.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
That was that was the thing. That's when we went
to the market. We went with Friday night.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
And so my mom every now and then she would say, hey,
you know what, you're able to get one thing right,
And so my brother, it seemed as though anytime whatever
I chose always appeared to be the more smarter choice.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
So here's what I mean by that.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
So for an example, let's say she's like, you get
one thing and let's say it's five dollars, you know, whatever,
whatever it is, it has to be like five dollars worth.
So I might because I don't want to snack chips
or something like that, I might say, you know what,
let me get the magazine, right, the magazine.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Where he might get food.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Well, the issue would be which one lasts longer, the
food or the magazine. And so now you're so I
get the magazine and I take the stuff out. I'm
cutting it up, putting it up on my wall, right,
making my room look decorative. And and here's the reason why.
(17:33):
The other reason why, I was trying to make it
more boyish, like, hey, I'm I'm more into girls now,
you know, because my room.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
Was pink.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
When we moved into this house. Man, Like, my room
was pink. It took a little while for as the
painted blue. I'm sorry about to say.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
We never thought about painting paint. We were renting, you know.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
So so I was like, listen, like I got to
kind of prove myself a little bit, just so I
make sure I'm good, right, right, But yeah, so so
I had these pictures and all that type of stuff.
But he would eat his snack, he would eat up
his chips in two days maybe three, right, But then
(18:16):
he'll go come in my room and be like, well.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Where did you get that from? Or how did you
do that? Or whatever it is.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
And now he's he's a little upset because now my
investment is lasting longer.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Well, what do you want? What do you expect? Right?
And not?
Speaker 2 (18:32):
And here's the thing that I think none of us
really take consideration. We don't always understand the other person's influence.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
You get what I mean.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
So, yo, I listened to what people talking about at school.
I want to see what the hype is about. You
get what I mean? So, yeah, I want to decorate it.
And now all of a sudden, I got something to
look at us.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
I'm going to sleep right, Okay?
Speaker 2 (18:58):
No, because and I say that because now I was like, hey,
you know, I wonder what is that life like to
be you know, on camera, to have pictures, you know,
to be on TV, all those type of things. You know,
you just wonder, right, And sometimes if you listen to
the countdown, paradin't not countdown for those of you who
(19:19):
live in Philly, now you got something to look at, Like, wow,
I can't imagine you singing this song that I'm listening.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
To and not.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Yo, bro I was man, I was, that was that
was my That was my But but again, so where
said kid whereas that's more or less teenager type times.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
You get what I'm saying. But but yeah, that was.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
My my my my moments of having posters because I won,
I heard what everybody else was talking about and we
then there. I didn't ruized that I had a crush
on some of these other people like to D. Yeah.
I mean you know, I didn't like people like D
(20:06):
off of what's happening?
Speaker 1 (20:08):
Oh that's you. You know what I'm saying, Like, nobody
what that like? Yo? It would be funny, but nobody.
I didn't want that. I wanted less drama from a kid.
I wanted less. I'm trying to think, do I have
(20:29):
crush somebody.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
That?
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Man? Listen, I had. I mean, it was it's more
to it than that.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
I mean, you want to talk about Dallas Falcon's Crest,
Oh yeah some of them.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
Yeah that's when Birthday have to get home and watch
them shows. Dude.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Uh yeah, man, I mean it was something really really
pretty ladies. Yeah, there were there were that there will
help influence you know, whatever got going on, and I
didn't realize until you know, you get older when you
see that stuff on TV. Again, this is marketing, right,
(21:11):
you know, you don't realize that, Hey, they're on TV.
They wear these Jordass jeans. Now everybody's wearing Jordas right, right,
Jordanassas schools, Catholics. Yeah, you know, everybody trying to find
out who's wearing what.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
And next thing, you know, everybody wearing it.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
I mean back in the day, you know, growing up there,
you know uptown all that, you know, Joe, Paul, Mary's.

individuals that we possibly looked up to. Now we want
