Speaker 1 (00:00):
I thank you all very much for tuning in. So
here's my question. What happens every time family gets together?
I know where our favorite conversation is. Let's talk about
a rafter this.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
That's how good about loving the man the way of God?
Intend life experience to be shapanswort.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
Hey, y'all, how a y'all doing today? So my question
to you.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
When your family gets together, what is the one conversation
that y'all have that's always consistent? But it seems as
though in all reality doesn't really happen. My conversation with
my family most recently, when a lot of us had
got together, we asked about a family reunion. Oh, now,
(01:06):
my family, being my mother's side, has not had a
fairly reunion since nineteen ninety seven.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
And on my dad's side, well, we called a reunion.
Might have happened since two thousand and two or four,
It is one of those years.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
I'm not sure. I think it might have been four. No,
somebody was in a baby carriage.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
Not the last time they had two?
Speaker 3 (01:39):
They had two?
Speaker 4 (01:40):
Yes, there was two, so what was the two both
of them were out?
Speaker 3 (01:46):
I mean they was in the same place.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
Yes, But there was two separate ones. Okay, yeah, there
were two.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Okay, so maybe maybe it was two thousand and let's
let's give it two thousand and eight, Okay, whatever it
might have been.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
So but.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
For whatever reason, we want to do a reunion. But
it just don't get off the ground for whatever reason.
And like I said, I want to know how many
of you are in the same boat. Well so cough, yes,
is your family in that boat too?
Speaker 4 (02:25):
I mean I think yes and no. I mean we've tried,
likewise several times to get the next generation to come
together and make it happen. Do some planning, do some fundraising,
come up with the ideas, pay the dues, get committees,
(02:48):
all those things. So I can go back to when
we were that far, like we had committees, we were
paying dues. That was prior to that thing that happened
in twenty twenty. And then after that thing happened in
twenty twenty, then everything kind of got fizzled out, and
all your dudes they were like, look, just taking money back,
you don't need it, so we're not going anywhere. So
(03:14):
that happened, and then we tried, I think again sometime
after that, and we didn't even I guess we broke
down into a few committees. We had a planning committee,
we had a few committees, but it just kind of
also fizzled out again, not quite sure why. And you know,
(03:35):
that's kind of where we've been with everything. So I
think with the next generation, it's just been harder to
make it happen, you know. I mean, and like you said,
we can find a location or a city, we just
we struggled with finding a hotel and the activities. Like
some people are like they want it very traditional. Let's
(03:58):
have a meet and greet on Friday, and let's have
some you know activity all together on Saturday, and you
church service on Sunday, everybody go home. Well then there
were some other people that were like, no, it needs
to be Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday. And people were like, uh,
(04:19):
I ain't taking all that time off from work. So,
you know, it's a back and forth, and it's always
that thing. Oh, well, what's the fam what's the family
gathering on Saturday? Oh, it's a banquet. Then other people
are like, no, it's gonna be a cookout. And people
are like, well, I'm not cooking any food. You know,
so it's always been somewhat back and forth on what
(04:41):
that weekend looks like. And then once you start breaking
down how much stuff costs. That also deterred some folks
when you look at a hotel costs and all the
things when you try to do a banquet at the hotel,
and if you have it somewhere else, then how do
you transport people from a hotel site to somewhere else.
So it's all just a lot different than it was
(05:04):
when we were little. Like you just powered in somebody's car.
You didn't know whose car it was, but you knew
you was with somebody that was a cousin. Hey, I'm
your cousin. Come on, baby, getting this car. We're getting
ready to go, and you went, you know what I mean. Well,
nowadays it's like you won't stay right here with me
and where I go, you know, So I think it's
a little bit different. So so.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Here here's where this systemic from everybody. So recently.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Y'all, and y'all heard me talk about on my show.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
When Kafa wasn't on the show, where I talked about
family members passing on all those type of things. So
you know, we just had a funeral, and so I'm
talking to these cousins. And now, mind you, the cousins,
like when we started talking about the lineage and how
(05:58):
I'm related to them and all that type of stuff,
you know, Funny enough, those that are, let's give them,
ten to fifteen years older than me didn't really understand
the the connection. And then when we talked about the connection,
it's like, wow, we really need to have a reunion.
(06:20):
And so I started walking around the room and asking
everybody what they thought about a reunion. And when I
talked to them about that, they were like, oh, yo,
we need to get it done where you know, we
we have some ideas, we got this and that and
whatever it is, but we just need that one person
that's going, hey, let's organ you know who's going to
organize it.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
So that's the you know, part of the reason.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
And then when we realize because we're not that close,
we realized that we have a lot of the same interest,
we start to realize that a lot of us are
in the same headspace of generational wealth. We realize that
the older we get, in all honesty, none of a
(07:15):
whole lot of us don't have a whole lot of
friends you know, it's like.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
I would rather be with my cousins.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Who were technically my first friends anyway, then I would
want to be with any anybody else, right, And I
think that right there made a world of a difference
because my family didn't come up really really close. We
were around, but when it got to my I guess
my parent generation and then us we were okay. And
(07:48):
then all of a sudden, like for us, everybody kind
of scattered. Everybody started doing their own thing. And so
I think those are the things that we really need
to consider at this point of who we really are,
what are we trying to do, what are we trying
to accomplish as a family. You see, other uh, ethnic groups,
(08:13):
racial groups, whatever, however you want to put a cultures,
however you want to put it. How some can come
together a little bit better than others.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
And some of it might be.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Jealousy, envy. Hey, I don't need you to dictate my
life for me. And you know, you hear all these
different reasons as to why people start to separate, while
people start to not want to be a part of
the family, and this and that and excuse me, what
(08:51):
you know all those things. So I think I really
do believe at this point in time, especially in our
stage of life, of I'm starting to see the real
importance of family and that we are not as far
off as far as vision, as far as conversations as
we might have thought in the past, right.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
I mean, I think a lot of it when you
sit down and you talk to people, as your stating, Maurice,
that you can find that you do have similarities, and
that can be family or just other people in general.
You know, you talk about some things and you can
find it there's a connection there. But it means even
(09:34):
more when it's your family, because it's like, hey, we
could be doing so so much more together than we
could if we are a part. I think that the
difficult part is that some of the family members are
not first cousins, right, you know, their first cousins once, twice,
(09:55):
three times removed. They are cousins that are three hundred
miles away type thing. But because of technology, you know,
they don't have to feel like they're three hundred miles away,
unlike things felt for us when we were growing up.
So you know, those cousins that I had in other states,
(10:19):
you know, I only saw them and talked to them
holiday time. You know, when all of the family got together,
you made it a point to be with those cousins.
I think family reunion also lends itself to, like you're stating,
(10:40):
just getting to know each other and getting to know
your lineage and your family tree. I think a lot
of folks don't understand that and value that. And I
know that that's been something that you and I have
looked at throughout the years of just understanding our family
tree and who's in it one of it because we
(11:01):
both have ken from the same town or nearby wed right,
so we were always interested in trying to find out
if there is any crossing or whatever. We haven't found
it yet, y'all. So don't think that we're kissing cousins,
because we're not.
Speaker 5 (11:21):
If we are, we would be like number thirty cousin.
So the blood is water about it, so.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
Crazy. So that's kind of why we started, you know,
looking into it a little bit deeper. I think we
both kind of had an interest in it before, but
then talking to with you, talking to my relatives and
finding out more from those who are older or more
(11:58):
vested in things in the South from origin wise, you
were able to have a good conversation with those individuals
and find out, oh okay, well what about this and
what about that? Do you guys know these people? So
that lent it to you, you know, and I talking
and researching more, and.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
I think with that, and you're right, because I did
reach out.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
I did talk.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
I did because I was I was, especially because my
great aunt at that particular time was really really like hey,
ree'es uh, we need to find out who did what.
And then and then here's the thing. When you start
to find out who had babies with who? Will you
(12:49):
find out who had mystery babies with who? When you
start to find out that somebody was kissing under the
maple tree, like you start you start finding pulling out
all these things like oh wow, did they really like
live together? Like he really had a whole family around
(13:12):
the corner, like literally.
Speaker 4 (13:14):
I mean, yeah, so the things you see on movies
and soap operas and.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
All you gotta do look in your family.
Speaker 4 (13:21):
Got to look in your family, you know, look at
ancestry up and look up the Yeah, I mean.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Because and so if I look, if I really look
through my own family tree, Kafa's family name is written
throughout now through her family name.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
You don't really see too many.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Of mine directly, not directly, but hers most definitely through mine.
And then you start to hear, well, you know, well,
technically there were two sets down there.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
I thought all y'all came from one plantation, you know.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
But and then the other part is is that there's
another part of her family where again when we look
at the we don't even have to look at the senses.
We can go to the cemetery and where families are
kind of put together in this one church cemetery. My
family is on one side of the road. Right on
(14:20):
the other side is another plot area of just her family.
So literally it's like if everybody stood up out they
casket or they would look at each other exactly be like.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
Hey family.
Speaker 6 (14:34):
You know, so.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Sometimes we need to really understand, in my opinion, who
were really related to what's really going on, because I'm
gonna be honest with you, Like, we just saw a video.
We just saw a video the other day where the lad,
the young lady said that we're third.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
Cousins and the.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
To her husband and she said, you know, we're third cousins,
and the boy was like, you ain't my wife she
was like like that.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
He was like, yep, we're done.
Speaker 4 (15:10):
We're done. She was like, well, we already got a kid.
What if we had a kid together. He was like, no,
we cousins, We cousins. We can't be married if we cousins.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Now, we ain't no kissing cousins over here. Yeah, he said,
we're gone, even if I gotta.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Kill you, like you know.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
So she was like, well, the kid ain't come out deformed,
it ain't come out you know, with special needs or anything,
so we could. He's like, no, nope, it's not happening.
If you my cousin, that's what you're gonna say. But unfortunately,
that's not how it always has been. When you look
at the census in some of these small towns and
(15:47):
even you know, to go back further to history, some
of the inbreeding and the cousins, you know, dealing with
cousins and siblings, dealing with siblings or whatever however that happened.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Well, I had an aunt who said there was nothing
else to do but to be on the tree.
Speaker 4 (16:08):
On the tree.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Well she was talking about being up on the tree,
not not whatever, not the dumb stuff, but literally where
you're gonna behind the tree.
Speaker 4 (16:20):
You didn't have cable, you didn't have a whole lot
of Netflix. It was they're just chilling without the Netflix, just.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Chill.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
They meet their own crunchy roll, you know. So basically
that's all you really had, right, you had to find
a way to be entertained.
Speaker 6 (16:41):
I e.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
As as my aunt puts it, the idea, you know, hey,
you know what, make sure that you take so and
so with you when you go outside, right, you know
so my aunt was that so and so, hey, you
need to take a little sibling with you when you go.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
You and this person go to the stove, go for
a walk, go for a walk, go through the.
Speaker 4 (17:12):
Wood, thinking that that was going to stop y'all from
doing a whole lot. So that little sister little brother
just saw a whole lot because they didn't stop them
from doing a whole lot.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
They probably was like, close your eyes.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
Pick some flowers, and we're back, you know.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
So.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
I think.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
That that conversation of needing a or wanting a family reunion,
especially in today's day and age, we needed because we
start to realize how far apart.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
We really are.
Speaker 4 (17:46):
I think as we multiply, we become further apart. You know, again,
how many cousins did you have when you were little
versus how many cousins you have now because the cousins
you had when you were little have had children and
in some cases their children have had children.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
Well, it was like when we went to the funeral,
right yeah, And.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
It was funny because my brother who wanted to in
front of everybody, my name is Michael.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
This is Maurice. He's the older brother. I'm the younger brother.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Now what everybody said at the repast was no, what
you should have said, I'm the pop pop. I mean,
everybody was like, you're the younger brother. But you got
three grandkids, So that means what right?
Speaker 4 (18:39):
So again, what that means is, you know, in the past,
back in the day, when you have family reunion, you
and your brother could share a room. Right now your
brother needs two three rooms. Yep, just him and his squad.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
Yep.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
You know what I mean. So again, I think as
the family grows and we become larger, it becomes harder
to pull all those people together, and we don't have
that connection of a big mama's house or because big
Mama said, we all need to get together, so we're
(19:16):
gonna do it because she said so. So I don't
know in very many families, how many people have somebody
with that kind of a clout yeah, to kind of
pull those strings. Either they've put everything together and we
just going, or that person is telling somebody, hey, put
(19:38):
all this together and this is what we're going to have.
Speaker 5 (19:41):
You know.
Speaker 4 (19:41):
So you know, for the family unions that I attended
as a young person, I don't know who put those together.
You know, when I went down south and whatnot, I
have no idea. I just somehow ended up in somebody's
car and ended up in South Carolina, North Carolina. I
(20:02):
don't know how. I remember how I got there one time,
but the other time, I don't remember how I got there.
In back, i'd have pictures. I've seen pictures of me
in both places, but have no idea. When I got
older and I was in the planning committee for a
family reunion here, so I knew a little bit more then.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
But so, how did you Yes, you were to a
family reunion and you're like, poof, I'm here.
Speaker 4 (20:31):
I'm here.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
I mean, that's that's interesting, that sounds fun.
Speaker 4 (20:37):
Don't know how I got there, poof? My mother didn't drive, Yes,
it doesn't. Oh, I don't know how I got there somehow,
some way, somehow, someway. Yeah, I don't know if it
was a bus, because I don't have any recollection of
a bus. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
Yeah, that's that's interesting. That's interesting. But you know, I
would like to say that for those of you that
are listening, please share, Please share.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
What do you want them to share?
Speaker 3 (21:14):
Do you know your family?
Speaker 1 (21:16):
Do you know whether or not your wife, your girlfriend,
your boyfriend, you know, whatever it is. Do you know
if your cousins or not?
Speaker 4 (21:24):
Well, we're all related somehow.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
You say that the other day, Right, you say that
the other day.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
I'm like, nobody's going back to Adam, Nobody going back
to Noah, nobody going back to mathus Lah. Okay, you
know there's no way for anybody to I guess some
people could track their line.
Speaker 4 (21:43):
We don't have to go that far back because things
kind of ended and then started again. So do you
go back to Noah, like because you know a whole
lot of other people so? Or do you go back
to yeah? So yeah, but somehow, some way.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
What you do if you tracked your heritage and you
went and realized that your your grandfather times twelve was Jonah.
That is one heck of a party story.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
You know.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
My grandpapa was in the whale.
Speaker 4 (22:16):
I don't eat fish.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
I don't like the water, yo, I don't like like
it's just some of them stories that's in the Bible.
Can you imagine if you were to track it and say, hey,
this is what my like, how in the world what
would you say to somebody if you know your your
family lineage went back to Moses, you know, and he's
(22:47):
the one that had hot foot, can step on the ground,
you know what you know, like like all those type
of things.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
He walked, he walked through the water. Like what would
you say, like, how can you what would you say?
I don't know when people say, you know what they say?
Speaker 1 (23:06):
In my father's house, there's many mansions, well my grandfather
was King.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
Solomon, Like.
Speaker 4 (23:14):
What I mean exactly?
Speaker 6 (23:16):
You know.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
So they were like I understand that. So how how
would you like, how would you think? What would you
what would you consider yourself when you.
Speaker 4 (23:25):
I mean, like I said, there's a lot of stories
that you were like, hey, you know what if I
was related to Queen Esther or you know what I mean,
or if I was related to Queen Vashtai, Or what
if I was related to Mary who broke the you know,
alabaster box, you know, like, yeah, do I even you know,
(23:46):
what is what is my feeling towards that? You know?
What if I was married to the lady who baked
you know, the last things of bread, you know type
of a thing.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
What about the one where where everybody says, yeah, I
want to find my boat. Oh, yes, like you hear
that a lot, right, you know? Are you know I'm
an entrepreneur today because I was told I need to
be like my grandmama who was told to go in,
you know, going to her storehouse and get the oil,
you know, because her husband died.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
All that type of stuff.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
You know.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
So it's just kind of those type of things. When
you start thinking about that, you'd be like, is that
really my blood that you just said? I don't eat
fish today because.
Speaker 4 (24:32):
I'm a baker. You know, I'm going to open up
a bakery because hey, I baked these cakes and you
know we all stayed alive, right, you know what I mean?
So yeah, even though there was a famine in the land,
I thought only had enough to keep me for one
more day, you know.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
So, But.
Speaker 4 (24:50):
But that's in my blood, that's my family lineage, that's
my my legacy. I'm supposed to do this because of who.
That's whom I'm connected to.
Speaker 3 (24:58):
So that means basically that our lives were predestined in
some way.
Speaker 4 (25:03):
Yeah, So Maurice wants to know if you know who
you connected to?
Speaker 3 (25:11):
Yeah, because if you're saying we are cousins, well.
Speaker 4 (25:16):
I want to know off of what Maurice's topic was,
how many of you have done a family tree and
what did you use to get that information? Because honey,
I do a whole other show on how twisted and
flipped up and messed up that some of these sites
(25:36):
are because it's all a lot of them depend upon
people putting stuff in, and it's just like people are
bringing up stuff. I'm like, that ain't my cousin. That's
the father, That ain't the cousin, right, you know? So
I understand the names. Everybody's name was Billy, you know,
but but we got to figure out who Billy's dad is.
(25:58):
That there's a Billy dad and Billy's son, and then
there's ability to cousin and they're all different, but they
all live in the same house, but I can't say.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
I can't say we live on the same house. But
in all react so my family, there's a lot of David's.
There's a lot of Maurice's mm hmm.
Speaker 4 (26:17):
And so if you name your kid Maurice, if you
already know there's a bunch of Maurice's, it's gonna be
more confusing.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
So if somebody said, yeah, cousin Maurice, what right, what
are you talk about? You know, like I was talking
to somebody at the funeral, like you know, David or whatever,
They're like, which one.
Speaker 4 (26:38):
Right? And then with your family, y'all just all say David.
It's not like Dave Davy. No, it's just everybody is David.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
And then for this, I think there's quite a few
John Calvin's or James something like that. So everybody's name
is JC. There's a whole lot of j C's.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
Uncle JC. Now Now that's now that's part of the
difference with that one.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
Everybody understand who uncle j C is overall, But when
you start saying other stuff, yeah, it'd be so I
think it's those type of things that, oh, you know what,
the others the secondary the next tier of names is Kevin.
That's another native runs through my family's Kevin.
Speaker 4 (27:24):
You know.
Speaker 3 (27:24):
So it's not too many people that have.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
Uh, girl names, because you know they repeat, not too many,
not too many, you know. But it's like I said,
it's like it's I know of at least four, yeah,
you know, so of Mauricus, I could say one, two, three, four, five,
(27:54):
about six or seven.
Speaker 4 (27:55):
David's Yeah, so for me, didn't really repeat. On my
grandmother's side, some generations before her from where we know,
as far as back as they can go. The first
name that they found was Lucretia, so that name repeats,
(28:17):
and she was the baby of out of you know,
some teen kids, so they always call her baby Lucretia.
But she's the beginning of the lineage. So there are
several Lucretias after her, but it all starts with baby,
and then all the babies after her are just called Lucretia's.
So it can get a little bit confusing. But again,
(28:40):
nowhere else that I've looked, I've had you know, duplicate names.
It's just looking at the addresses and just like, well,
why is this person living with this family?
Speaker 3 (28:51):
Well, you know, it's funny that you say that because
it means that you.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
Think about George form George so one which Lucretia you
doing about, especially if you got a few of them.
Speaker 4 (29:00):
Alive, right, I mean, and George's It's quite difficult because
they all have now I don't know if they have
different middle names and they all go by that. I
don't know, but because like you said, hey, they all
say George Foreman, and they all lived at that said
address for some particular time, and then you have to
depend upon everyone's penmanship and you know, computer expertise to say, hey,
(29:28):
they put the right name and the right birth date
in for you to be able to track that. So
I wonder if his kids, if George's kids who are
named George, did they name their kids George? So it's
George the the third generation, because I don't know if
he I mean, what.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
Was the name of the king in my play that
it went on in Hamilton, Georgia. Yes, we'll be back.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
Oh, I'm sorry y'all that I'm sorry. She kept saying George, Georgeorge.
I'm like, George, George, George. George is young, you know.
So I started going through all the songs or whatever,
like no, that's my favorite George.
Speaker 3 (30:15):
Well he started.
Speaker 4 (30:16):
Singing, haven't been Queen Charlotte?
Speaker 3 (30:22):
No, I haven't Queen charltt TV show yes, parts of it.
Speaker 4 (30:26):
Because that's that's that's the lifestyle. I mean, that gives
you the backstory of George. So you'll have to look
at that because she says George, George George a lot.
So when you were saying, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, okay,
I mean we'll do that very good, we'll do that.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
So so yeah, So my question, so my question, I
got a few questions.
Speaker 4 (30:46):
One, write this down, y'all.
Speaker 3 (30:48):
One, are you seeing your cousin?
Speaker 4 (30:54):
Are you dating your cousin knowingly?
Speaker 1 (30:58):
Number two, how would you feel of your your your
your parents were sitting in a whale?
Speaker 3 (31:06):
Can we talk about the whole jone of thing?
Speaker 4 (31:08):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (31:10):
And at number three does your family when it could
be anything? And y'all get together and y'all just be like, yo,
we need to have a reunion. So I got three
questions for y'all and you had a question.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
What was your question?
Speaker 4 (31:23):
My question is just how many of you have done
some family history some digging? And then what tool did
you use to do that? You know, and how reliable
do you think that I just want to know? Like ya,
how reliable do you think that is? Because I've tried
two different ones.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
So I guess we could talk about in another show. Yeah, yeah,
So why don't y'all let us know?
Speaker 4 (31:44):
Please doo? Yeah, inquiry minds want to.
Speaker 3 (31:47):
Know, and we think y'all for listening today, and we'll
be back. Then you'll see.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
That you really could leave me.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
We'll be back. Time would tell I don't know, I
don't know what would tell that you really didn't know me?
Will so this?
Speaker 1 (32:20):
So I gotta, I gotta, I gotta fa We'll have
it next time. Yeah, I'm gonna have to write a
whole little diddy. I'm trying to change the words at
the you know, to drop a fat. I can't do
what my brain's not. I'm not back one hundred percent yet.
Speaker 4 (32:36):
As you walk in here, we're both still coughing slightly ridiculous.
Speaker 3 (32:41):
Yes, it is really read ridiculous. So we'll talk to
you all long later.
Speaker 4 (32:47):
Thanks so much, by.

I thank you all very much for tuning in. So
here's my question. What happens every time family gets together?
I know where our favorite conversation is. Let's talk about
a rafter this.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
That's how good about loving the man the way of God?
Intend life experience to be shapanswort.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
Hey, y'all, how a y'all doing today? So my question
to you.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
When your family gets together, what is the one conversation
that y'all have that's always consistent? But it seems as
though in all reality doesn't really happen. My conversation with
my family most recently, when a lot of us had
got together, we asked about a family reunion. Oh, now,
(01:06):
my family, being my mother's side, has not had a
fairly reunion since nineteen ninety seven.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
And on my dad's side, well, we called a reunion.
Might have happened since two thousand and two or four,
It is one of those years.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
I'm not sure. I think it might have been four. No,
somebody was in a baby carriage.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
Not the last time they had two?
Speaker 3 (01:39):
They had two?
Speaker 4 (01:40):
Yes, there was two, so what was the two both
of them were out?
Speaker 3 (01:46):
I mean they was in the same place.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
Yes, But there was two separate ones. Okay, yeah, there
were two.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Okay, so maybe maybe it was two thousand and let's
let's give it two thousand and eight, Okay, whatever it
might have been.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
So but.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
For whatever reason, we want to do a reunion. But
it just don't get off the ground for whatever reason.
And like I said, I want to know how many
of you are in the same boat. Well so cough, yes,
is your family in that boat too?
Speaker 4 (02:25):
I mean I think yes and no. I mean we've tried,
likewise several times to get the next generation to come
together and make it happen. Do some planning, do some fundraising,
come up with the ideas, pay the dues, get committees,
(02:48):
all those things. So I can go back to when
we were that far, like we had committees, we were
paying dues. That was prior to that thing that happened
in twenty twenty. And then after that thing happened in
twenty twenty, then everything kind of got fizzled out, and
all your dudes they were like, look, just taking money back,
you don't need it, so we're not going anywhere. So
(03:14):
that happened, and then we tried, I think again sometime
after that, and we didn't even I guess we broke
down into a few committees. We had a planning committee,
we had a few committees, but it just kind of
also fizzled out again, not quite sure why. And you know,
(03:35):
that's kind of where we've been with everything. So I
think with the next generation, it's just been harder to
make it happen, you know. I mean, and like you said,
we can find a location or a city, we just
we struggled with finding a hotel and the activities. Like
some people are like they want it very traditional. Let's
(03:58):
have a meet and greet on Friday, and let's have
some you know activity all together on Saturday, and you
church service on Sunday, everybody go home. Well then there
were some other people that were like, no, it needs
to be Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday. And people were like, uh,
(04:19):
I ain't taking all that time off from work. So,
you know, it's a back and forth, and it's always
that thing. Oh, well, what's the fam what's the family
gathering on Saturday? Oh, it's a banquet. Then other people
are like, no, it's gonna be a cookout. And people
are like, well, I'm not cooking any food. You know,
so it's always been somewhat back and forth on what
(04:41):
that weekend looks like. And then once you start breaking
down how much stuff costs. That also deterred some folks
when you look at a hotel costs and all the
things when you try to do a banquet at the hotel,
and if you have it somewhere else, then how do
you transport people from a hotel site to somewhere else.
So it's all just a lot different than it was
(05:04):
when we were little. Like you just powered in somebody's car.
You didn't know whose car it was, but you knew
you was with somebody that was a cousin. Hey, I'm
your cousin. Come on, baby, getting this car. We're getting
ready to go, and you went, you know what I mean. Well,
nowadays it's like you won't stay right here with me
and where I go, you know, So I think it's
a little bit different. So so.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Here here's where this systemic from everybody. So recently.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Y'all, and y'all heard me talk about on my show.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
When Kafa wasn't on the show, where I talked about
family members passing on all those type of things. So
you know, we just had a funeral, and so I'm
talking to these cousins. And now, mind you, the cousins,
like when we started talking about the lineage and how
(05:58):
I'm related to them and all that type of stuff,
you know, Funny enough, those that are, let's give them,
ten to fifteen years older than me didn't really understand
the the connection. And then when we talked about the connection,
it's like, wow, we really need to have a reunion.
(06:20):
And so I started walking around the room and asking
everybody what they thought about a reunion. And when I
talked to them about that, they were like, oh, yo,
we need to get it done where you know, we
we have some ideas, we got this and that and
whatever it is, but we just need that one person
that's going, hey, let's organ you know who's going to
organize it.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
So that's the you know, part of the reason.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
And then when we realize because we're not that close,
we realized that we have a lot of the same interest,
we start to realize that a lot of us are
in the same headspace of generational wealth. We realize that
the older we get, in all honesty, none of a
(07:15):
whole lot of us don't have a whole lot of
friends you know, it's like.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
I would rather be with my cousins.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Who were technically my first friends anyway, then I would
want to be with any anybody else, right, And I
think that right there made a world of a difference
because my family didn't come up really really close. We
were around, but when it got to my I guess
my parent generation and then us we were okay. And
(07:48):
then all of a sudden, like for us, everybody kind
of scattered. Everybody started doing their own thing. And so
I think those are the things that we really need
to consider at this point of who we really are,
what are we trying to do, what are we trying
to accomplish as a family. You see, other uh, ethnic groups,
(08:13):
racial groups, whatever, however you want to put a cultures,
however you want to put it. How some can come
together a little bit better than others.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
And some of it might be.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Jealousy, envy. Hey, I don't need you to dictate my
life for me. And you know, you hear all these
different reasons as to why people start to separate, while
people start to not want to be a part of
the family, and this and that and excuse me, what
(08:51):
you know all those things. So I think I really
do believe at this point in time, especially in our
stage of life, of I'm starting to see the real
importance of family and that we are not as far
off as far as vision, as far as conversations as
we might have thought in the past, right.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
I mean, I think a lot of it when you
sit down and you talk to people, as your stating, Maurice,
that you can find that you do have similarities, and
that can be family or just other people in general.
You know, you talk about some things and you can
find it there's a connection there. But it means even
(09:34):
more when it's your family, because it's like, hey, we
could be doing so so much more together than we
could if we are a part. I think that the
difficult part is that some of the family members are
not first cousins, right, you know, their first cousins once, twice,
(09:55):
three times removed. They are cousins that are three hundred
miles away type thing. But because of technology, you know,
they don't have to feel like they're three hundred miles away,
unlike things felt for us when we were growing up.
So you know, those cousins that I had in other states,
(10:19):
you know, I only saw them and talked to them
holiday time. You know, when all of the family got together,
you made it a point to be with those cousins.
I think family reunion also lends itself to, like you're stating,
(10:40):
just getting to know each other and getting to know
your lineage and your family tree. I think a lot
of folks don't understand that and value that. And I
know that that's been something that you and I have
looked at throughout the years of just understanding our family
tree and who's in it one of it because we
(11:01):
both have ken from the same town or nearby wed right,
so we were always interested in trying to find out
if there is any crossing or whatever. We haven't found
it yet, y'all. So don't think that we're kissing cousins,
because we're not.
Speaker 5 (11:21):
If we are, we would be like number thirty cousin.
So the blood is water about it, so.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
Crazy. So that's kind of why we started, you know,
looking into it a little bit deeper. I think we
both kind of had an interest in it before, but
then talking to with you, talking to my relatives and
finding out more from those who are older or more
(11:58):
vested in things in the South from origin wise, you
were able to have a good conversation with those individuals
and find out, oh okay, well what about this and
what about that? Do you guys know these people? So
that lent it to you, you know, and I talking
and researching more, and.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
I think with that, and you're right, because I did
reach out.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
I did talk.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
I did because I was I was, especially because my
great aunt at that particular time was really really like hey,
ree'es uh, we need to find out who did what.
And then and then here's the thing. When you start
to find out who had babies with who? Will you
(12:49):
find out who had mystery babies with who? When you
start to find out that somebody was kissing under the
maple tree, like you start you start finding pulling out
all these things like oh wow, did they really like
live together? Like he really had a whole family around
(13:12):
the corner, like literally.
Speaker 4 (13:14):
I mean, yeah, so the things you see on movies
and soap operas and.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
All you gotta do look in your family.
Speaker 4 (13:21):
Got to look in your family, you know, look at
ancestry up and look up the Yeah, I mean.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Because and so if I look, if I really look
through my own family tree, Kafa's family name is written
throughout now through her family name.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
You don't really see too many.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Of mine directly, not directly, but hers most definitely through mine.
And then you start to hear, well, you know, well,
technically there were two sets down there.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
I thought all y'all came from one plantation, you know.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
But and then the other part is is that there's
another part of her family where again when we look
at the we don't even have to look at the senses.
We can go to the cemetery and where families are
kind of put together in this one church cemetery. My
family is on one side of the road. Right on
(14:20):
the other side is another plot area of just her family.
So literally it's like if everybody stood up out they
casket or they would look at each other exactly be like.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
Hey family.
Speaker 6 (14:34):
You know, so.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Sometimes we need to really understand, in my opinion, who
were really related to what's really going on, because I'm
gonna be honest with you, Like, we just saw a video.
We just saw a video the other day where the lad,
the young lady said that we're third.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
Cousins and the.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
To her husband and she said, you know, we're third cousins,
and the boy was like, you ain't my wife she
was like like that.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
He was like, yep, we're done.
Speaker 4 (15:10):
We're done. She was like, well, we already got a kid.
What if we had a kid together. He was like, no,
we cousins, We cousins. We can't be married if we cousins.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Now, we ain't no kissing cousins over here. Yeah, he said,
we're gone, even if I gotta.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Kill you, like you know.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
So she was like, well, the kid ain't come out deformed,
it ain't come out you know, with special needs or anything,
so we could. He's like, no, nope, it's not happening.
If you my cousin, that's what you're gonna say. But unfortunately,
that's not how it always has been. When you look
at the census in some of these small towns and
(15:47):
even you know, to go back further to history, some
of the inbreeding and the cousins, you know, dealing with
cousins and siblings, dealing with siblings or whatever however that happened.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Well, I had an aunt who said there was nothing
else to do but to be on the tree.
Speaker 4 (16:08):
On the tree.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Well she was talking about being up on the tree,
not not whatever, not the dumb stuff, but literally where
you're gonna behind the tree.
Speaker 4 (16:20):
You didn't have cable, you didn't have a whole lot
of Netflix. It was they're just chilling without the Netflix, just.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Chill.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
They meet their own crunchy roll, you know. So basically
that's all you really had, right, you had to find
a way to be entertained.
Speaker 6 (16:41):
I e.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
As as my aunt puts it, the idea, you know, hey,
you know what, make sure that you take so and
so with you when you go outside, right, you know
so my aunt was that so and so, hey, you
need to take a little sibling with you when you go.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
You and this person go to the stove, go for
a walk, go for a walk, go through the.
Speaker 4 (17:12):
Wood, thinking that that was going to stop y'all from
doing a whole lot. So that little sister little brother
just saw a whole lot because they didn't stop them
from doing a whole lot.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
They probably was like, close your eyes.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
Pick some flowers, and we're back, you know.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
So.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
I think.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
That that conversation of needing a or wanting a family reunion,
especially in today's day and age, we needed because we
start to realize how far apart.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
We really are.
Speaker 4 (17:46):
I think as we multiply, we become further apart. You know, again,
how many cousins did you have when you were little
versus how many cousins you have now because the cousins
you had when you were little have had children and
in some cases their children have had children.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
Well, it was like when we went to the funeral,
right yeah, And.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
It was funny because my brother who wanted to in
front of everybody, my name is Michael.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
This is Maurice. He's the older brother. I'm the younger brother.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Now what everybody said at the repast was no, what
you should have said, I'm the pop pop. I mean,
everybody was like, you're the younger brother. But you got
three grandkids, So that means what right?
Speaker 4 (18:39):
So again, what that means is, you know, in the past,
back in the day, when you have family reunion, you
and your brother could share a room. Right now your
brother needs two three rooms. Yep, just him and his squad.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
Yep.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
You know what I mean. So again, I think as
the family grows and we become larger, it becomes harder
to pull all those people together, and we don't have
that connection of a big mama's house or because big
Mama said, we all need to get together, so we're
(19:16):
gonna do it because she said so. So I don't
know in very many families, how many people have somebody
with that kind of a clout yeah, to kind of
pull those strings. Either they've put everything together and we
just going, or that person is telling somebody, hey, put
(19:38):
all this together and this is what we're going to have.
Speaker 5 (19:41):
You know.
Speaker 4 (19:41):
So you know, for the family unions that I attended
as a young person, I don't know who put those together.
You know, when I went down south and whatnot, I
have no idea. I just somehow ended up in somebody's
car and ended up in South Carolina, North Carolina. I
(20:02):
don't know how. I remember how I got there one time,
but the other time, I don't remember how I got there.
In back, i'd have pictures. I've seen pictures of me
in both places, but have no idea. When I got
older and I was in the planning committee for a
family reunion here, so I knew a little bit more then.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
But so, how did you Yes, you were to a
family reunion and you're like, poof, I'm here.
Speaker 4 (20:31):
I'm here.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
I mean, that's that's interesting, that sounds fun.
Speaker 4 (20:37):
Don't know how I got there, poof? My mother didn't drive, Yes,
it doesn't. Oh, I don't know how I got there somehow,
some way, somehow, someway. Yeah, I don't know if it
was a bus, because I don't have any recollection of
a bus. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
Yeah, that's that's interesting. That's interesting. But you know, I
would like to say that for those of you that
are listening, please share, Please share.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
What do you want them to share?
Speaker 3 (21:14):
Do you know your family?
Speaker 1 (21:16):
Do you know whether or not your wife, your girlfriend,
your boyfriend, you know, whatever it is. Do you know
if your cousins or not?
Speaker 4 (21:24):
Well, we're all related somehow.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
You say that the other day, Right, you say that
the other day.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
I'm like, nobody's going back to Adam, Nobody going back
to Noah, nobody going back to mathus Lah. Okay, you
know there's no way for anybody to I guess some
people could track their line.
Speaker 4 (21:43):
We don't have to go that far back because things
kind of ended and then started again. So do you
go back to Noah, like because you know a whole
lot of other people so? Or do you go back
to yeah? So yeah, but somehow, some way.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
What you do if you tracked your heritage and you
went and realized that your your grandfather times twelve was Jonah.
That is one heck of a party story.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
You know.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
My grandpapa was in the whale.
Speaker 4 (22:16):
I don't eat fish.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
I don't like the water, yo, I don't like like
it's just some of them stories that's in the Bible.
Can you imagine if you were to track it and say, hey,
this is what my like, how in the world what
would you say to somebody if you know your your
family lineage went back to Moses, you know, and he's
(22:47):
the one that had hot foot, can step on the ground,
you know what you know, like like all those type
of things.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
He walked, he walked through the water. Like what would
you say, like, how can you what would you say?
I don't know when people say, you know what they say?
Speaker 1 (23:06):
In my father's house, there's many mansions, well my grandfather
was King.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
Solomon, Like.
Speaker 4 (23:14):
What I mean exactly?
Speaker 6 (23:16):
You know.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
So they were like I understand that. So how how
would you like, how would you think? What would you
what would you consider yourself when you.
Speaker 4 (23:25):
I mean, like I said, there's a lot of stories
that you were like, hey, you know what if I
was related to Queen Esther or you know what I mean,
or if I was related to Queen Vashtai, Or what
if I was related to Mary who broke the you know,
alabaster box, you know, like, yeah, do I even you know,
(23:46):
what is what is my feeling towards that? You know?
What if I was married to the lady who baked
you know, the last things of bread, you know type
of a thing.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
What about the one where where everybody says, yeah, I
want to find my boat. Oh, yes, like you hear
that a lot, right, you know? Are you know I'm
an entrepreneur today because I was told I need to
be like my grandmama who was told to go in,
you know, going to her storehouse and get the oil,
you know, because her husband died.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
All that type of stuff.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
You know.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
So it's just kind of those type of things. When
you start thinking about that, you'd be like, is that
really my blood that you just said? I don't eat
fish today because.
Speaker 4 (24:32):
I'm a baker. You know, I'm going to open up
a bakery because hey, I baked these cakes and you
know we all stayed alive, right, you know what I mean?
So yeah, even though there was a famine in the land,
I thought only had enough to keep me for one
more day, you know.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
So, But.
Speaker 4 (24:50):
But that's in my blood, that's my family lineage, that's
my my legacy. I'm supposed to do this because of who.
That's whom I'm connected to.
Speaker 3 (24:58):
So that means basically that our lives were predestined in
some way.
Speaker 4 (25:03):
Yeah, So Maurice wants to know if you know who
you connected to?
Speaker 3 (25:11):
Yeah, because if you're saying we are cousins, well.
Speaker 4 (25:16):
I want to know off of what Maurice's topic was,
how many of you have done a family tree and
what did you use to get that information? Because honey,
I do a whole other show on how twisted and
flipped up and messed up that some of these sites
(25:36):
are because it's all a lot of them depend upon
people putting stuff in, and it's just like people are
bringing up stuff. I'm like, that ain't my cousin. That's
the father, That ain't the cousin, right, you know? So
I understand the names. Everybody's name was Billy, you know,
but but we got to figure out who Billy's dad is.
(25:58):
That there's a Billy dad and Billy's son, and then
there's ability to cousin and they're all different, but they
all live in the same house, but I can't say.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
I can't say we live on the same house. But
in all react so my family, there's a lot of David's.
There's a lot of Maurice's mm hmm.
Speaker 4 (26:17):
And so if you name your kid Maurice, if you
already know there's a bunch of Maurice's, it's gonna be
more confusing.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
So if somebody said, yeah, cousin Maurice, what right, what
are you talk about? You know, like I was talking
to somebody at the funeral, like you know, David or whatever,
They're like, which one.
Speaker 4 (26:38):
Right? And then with your family, y'all just all say David.
It's not like Dave Davy. No, it's just everybody is David.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
And then for this, I think there's quite a few
John Calvin's or James something like that. So everybody's name
is JC. There's a whole lot of j C's.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
Uncle JC. Now Now that's now that's part of the
difference with that one.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
Everybody understand who uncle j C is overall, But when
you start saying other stuff, yeah, it'd be so I
think it's those type of things that, oh, you know what,
the others the secondary the next tier of names is Kevin.
That's another native runs through my family's Kevin.
Speaker 4 (27:24):
You know.
Speaker 3 (27:24):
So it's not too many people that have.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
Uh, girl names, because you know they repeat, not too many,
not too many, you know. But it's like I said,
it's like it's I know of at least four, yeah,
you know, so of Mauricus, I could say one, two, three, four, five,
(27:54):
about six or seven.
Speaker 4 (27:55):
David's Yeah, so for me, didn't really repeat. On my
grandmother's side, some generations before her from where we know,
as far as back as they can go. The first
name that they found was Lucretia, so that name repeats,
(28:17):
and she was the baby of out of you know,
some teen kids, so they always call her baby Lucretia.
But she's the beginning of the lineage. So there are
several Lucretias after her, but it all starts with baby,
and then all the babies after her are just called Lucretia's.
So it can get a little bit confusing. But again,
(28:40):
nowhere else that I've looked, I've had you know, duplicate names.
It's just looking at the addresses and just like, well,
why is this person living with this family?
Speaker 3 (28:51):
Well, you know, it's funny that you say that because
it means that you.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
Think about George form George so one which Lucretia you
doing about, especially if you got a few of them.
Speaker 4 (29:00):
Alive, right, I mean, and George's It's quite difficult because
they all have now I don't know if they have
different middle names and they all go by that. I
don't know, but because like you said, hey, they all
say George Foreman, and they all lived at that said
address for some particular time, and then you have to
depend upon everyone's penmanship and you know, computer expertise to say, hey,
(29:28):
they put the right name and the right birth date
in for you to be able to track that. So
I wonder if his kids, if George's kids who are
named George, did they name their kids George? So it's
George the the third generation, because I don't know if
he I mean, what.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
Was the name of the king in my play that
it went on in Hamilton, Georgia. Yes, we'll be back.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
Oh, I'm sorry y'all that I'm sorry. She kept saying George, Georgeorge.
I'm like, George, George, George. George is young, you know.
So I started going through all the songs or whatever,
like no, that's my favorite George.
Speaker 3 (30:15):
Well he started.
Speaker 4 (30:16):
Singing, haven't been Queen Charlotte?
Speaker 3 (30:22):
No, I haven't Queen charltt TV show yes, parts of it.
Speaker 4 (30:26):
Because that's that's that's the lifestyle. I mean, that gives
you the backstory of George. So you'll have to look
at that because she says George, George George a lot.
So when you were saying, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, okay,
I mean we'll do that very good, we'll do that.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
So so yeah, So my question, so my question, I
got a few questions.
Speaker 4 (30:46):
One, write this down, y'all.
Speaker 3 (30:48):
One, are you seeing your cousin?
Speaker 4 (30:54):
Are you dating your cousin knowingly?
Speaker 1 (30:58):
Number two, how would you feel of your your your
your parents were sitting in a whale?
Speaker 3 (31:06):
Can we talk about the whole jone of thing?
Speaker 4 (31:08):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (31:10):
And at number three does your family when it could
be anything? And y'all get together and y'all just be like, yo,
we need to have a reunion. So I got three
questions for y'all and you had a question.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
What was your question?
Speaker 4 (31:23):
My question is just how many of you have done
some family history some digging? And then what tool did
you use to do that? You know, and how reliable
do you think that I just want to know? Like ya,
how reliable do you think that is? Because I've tried
two different ones.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
So I guess we could talk about in another show. Yeah, yeah,
So why don't y'all let us know?
Speaker 4 (31:44):
Please doo? Yeah, inquiry minds want to.
Speaker 3 (31:47):
Know, and we think y'all for listening today, and we'll
be back. Then you'll see.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
That you really could leave me.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
We'll be back. Time would tell I don't know, I
don't know what would tell that you really didn't know me?
Will so this?
Speaker 1 (32:20):
So I gotta, I gotta, I gotta fa We'll have
it next time. Yeah, I'm gonna have to write a
whole little diddy. I'm trying to change the words at
the you know, to drop a fat. I can't do
what my brain's not. I'm not back one hundred percent yet.
Speaker 4 (32:36):
As you walk in here, we're both still coughing slightly ridiculous.
Speaker 3 (32:41):
Yes, it is really read ridiculous. So we'll talk to
you all long later.
