Speaker 1 (00:08):
Yeah, if you're watching this, my house is a mess.
Behind me. I'm working on some stuff, organizing some things.
But I can't show you this unless I take the
black the background, the background off. Welcome to the imagine
pages of James Augery. If you're listening to this, it
means that it just means nothing to you. But if
you're watching me on YouTube with j medoc and what's

(00:29):
interesting is the other day I got in the mail
a phone book, the real yellow pages. It's so it'sar
off my address. It's so thin. We're going to go
in between the pages of it. I have not seen
a phone book. So for me, I have a house phone.

(00:50):
It's over here. So I have a housephone back there,
and it's coming handy. Many times I say, if you
have a house phone, it's not that expensive or anything.
But if you can have a house phone, get one,
have one. It comes in here. Even it sounds, your
phone doesn't work, you get locked out, lose anything, just
it's whatever. So it's good. So but I haven't say

(01:12):
that it's a phone book. In so long my stepfather,
may he rests in peace. Moses loved a good phone book.
He loved a good phone book. He was always in
the phone book and I was like, oh my god,
they were great. I wont do it. We had the
yellow pages and we had the white pages. Actually met
someone through a friend of mine. Her husband works for

(01:33):
the Yellow papes on he still works to he or
not works in the corporate office or whatever. I know
a lot. It comes with a magnet. It comes with
a magnet. I'm gonna put this magnet on for sex sake,
on my refrigerator. Why not? Righty do you do with
these things? I love it? But it's so in and

(01:53):
so I live in Debate in the South Bay area
at US today. So I'll show you the area that
I'm in. I mean one of these cities. Yes, but
you know what things like, you know, but see here's that.
So looking on the inside, I'll puting it up. I'm
looking on the inside. So there's no more white pages

(02:14):
because that's where everybody's addresses were. There's regular residents. You
look at somebody's house. I remember seeing J Lott and
all this stuff in there back in the day. This
is basically just businesses, just businesses, and I can appreciate it.
And so I'm I'm folks, I'm a coupon person, coupon
for life. What can't show you. I'm trying to turn

(02:37):
around and my purse, little purse here. I have coupons.
I believe with coupons. These are these are rouphs where
Kroger gets a Kroger. Amazon always has a coupon for
three dollars or more ten dollars off always comes in handy.

(03:00):
So publications like this, I'm just this a pro tip,
don't throw them out because sciences I have coupons and
special deals because they are actually advertising in a public
and a physical publication. Online just can be too much.

(03:21):
And you type in your area, You're like near me
and all this stuff where this is my this is
my area because it's literally my area. And so I
was like plumbing your pair of dollars off. Okay, you
always need plumbers, So open it up at and T fiber,
which I'm just getting. I'm getting that today. Actually water

(03:44):
salt or Carpet and rug dealers two hundred dollars off
from Empire Carpet and Flooring if you do it, if
you use this special dis kind of call special number.
And so I'm telling you inside a special number, special
discuse because they know you're going through here. But what
I like about this also that it's just it's it's locy,

(04:05):
it's everything. It's near me, don't you know. I just
I know it's old fashioned, but it's near me. It's
south of the co order. It's like air conditioning contractors.
Look up chimney, Sweet, I have a chimney back here.
There's a monster. You cants my mantle. So I just
go under. See chimney builders repair all right here. Yes,

(04:29):
so I'm gonna I'm gonna look at some of these specialists.
And Maria del Ray that is right near my house.
Cemetery stuff, Christmas trees, pumpkin patches. They have all the

(04:50):
alarm systems, the home security, home security, pet grooming, car stuff.
I mean, I still do they actually actually have schools.
They have a the schools listed school resources the neighborhood.
I did not know that. Actually, I'm wearing something new.
All the colleges Pepperdine University, Satamonica College, LA City College,

(05:13):
LA Community College, u C l A West LA Colle Yeah,
I did not know they had to visit here. It
might think sell groomers of cleaners grooms. I still go
out house housekeeping, house cleaning because I hearing aids home
automation home healthcare providers. That's good. Did not know that

(05:38):
they do? Okay, walk in chubs? Do you have a
lot of flour? Percent off you if you go through
here one year? No pay, Like, I'm just like, this
is what after care nurses. My house is the whole thing.
So it's just it's very cool. It literally has everything
in here, dreg TV. So I'm keeping my phone book.

(06:02):
I don't care. I'm keeping it. Like I said, on occasion,
I find deals for these things, travel stuff. You find
travel deals, and I was in here. I live in
an airport, so I think it's cute and I'm sad
it's so small. It's like the newspaper yellow pages. All
that stuff is just gone kind of but it's still
it's still hanging in here, and I'm like I would

(06:23):
just like they're saying, well, if you want residential white pages,
you can go to frontier dot com slash white pages.
You also find this the yellow Pages. To advertise, call
one nine niney nine. I might actually just made twenty

(06:44):
twenty five, but actually actually do a phone call and
see what happens with advertising and how much everything costs
and the package. I would love to be on the
Yellow Pages in my neighborhood. I might get somebody might
look here. You never know, right, so to expressed, so
I'll keep post on that. But yes, the real Yellow

(07:05):
Pages that they call the original search engine. I it
just it's nostalgic. I love seeing it as physical media
is claim back. Maybe and books all that stuff maybe
at least won't come back. But I love it. I do,
and I might I might even saying this ironically, I
really do have a warm feeling when I see this recondo.
