the Crew Network and you're listening to Basic Black after Dark podcast to show that
2:00
meets you where you are and gives you what you ask for. Tonight is
2:04
a special name. We're having two celebrations versus Halloween. Halloween is a celebration
2:10
observed in many countries on the thirty first of October. It's the eve of
2:15
the Western Christian Feast of All Saints. It begins the observance of all hollow
2:21
Time, the time in the liturgical year dedicated to remembering the day, including
2:25
Saints, martyrs and all faithful departy. In popular culture, the day has
2:32
become a celebration of horror, being associated with the supernatural. Now, many
2:38
Halloween conditions and traditions were influenced, particularly by Celtic harvest festivals. But in
2:46
today's culture we are trick or treating, attending Halloween costume parties, carving pumpkins
2:52
into Jack o'landings, lighting bonfires, and bobbing for apples. But lets not
2:58
forget the costumes. Now, I've seen some wonderful costumes, from Dracula to
3:04
Wednesday Adams to Spider Man and Barbie. No, don't hate on the Barbie.
3:08
We all played with them when we were kids. And fellows you had
3:13
either the Ken doll or those gi Jo dolls, or maybe even the soldiers,
3:17
those toy soldiers and little green things. I used to see them all
3:21
the time around my house. Well at least my brothers played with them.
3:24
Now, I know Halloween is usually a kid celebration, but I saw some
3:29
adults who were wearing some nice costumes they had I think today I saw a
3:34
few that was the Beyonce Alien Superstars, an Aria from The Little Mermaid.
3:42
Now the teachers, they were definitely keeping it real. A lot of them
3:45
came dressed in the Disney costumes. And the daycare centers have a few grandchildren
3:50
in the daycare centers and those babies they were either in little animals. I
3:55
know my granddaughter was dressed up as a pink blue pig. There was a
4:00
lot of little farm animals. There were some goats, there was some that
4:03
was chickens. There was even some maybe ones that was dressed as little dogs.
4:09
The staff was amazing. They did a great job. The kids had
4:14
some fun. But the most popular for twenty twenty three just take a guess,
4:19
take a wild guess of which one it was. Yep, it was
4:24
the Blue Ivy from the Renaissance World Tour costume that did it in this year.
4:30
This year. It was amazing to see how many of these kids dressed
4:34
as Blue Ivy and you had some adults trying to pull it off too,
4:38
But you gotta get it to the kids. They looked a little better than
4:42
the adults, but they were doing their thing. And I remember when I
4:46
was grown up, we used to run throughout the neighborhood, ringing doorbells and
4:49
getting candy, sometimes hot and behind stuff. Now, some people threw eggs,
4:55
I won't mention any names of who threw them, and some people t
4:59
peed home. You were lucky if you didn't get caught. But that's when
5:03
kids were kids, eating candy and having fun. And when you think about
5:09
the time going back of dressing in costumes, well, the costumes were different.
5:15
They were a little you think about it now, a little chreat looking.
5:16
They had, you know, those masks on. Even back then,
5:19
they were doing more of the presidential ones. I remember a few of them
5:24
were Nixon. Some of them were caught he you know, those are the
5:27
faces. But I wonder if they have the Obama costume with a mask.
5:33
I think there was a few during his time that they had the Obama and
5:38
I'm not sure if they had Michelle, but I'm quite sure they had President
5:41
Obama. I'm still my president. That's what I'm gonna say. He's gonna
5:44
always be my president. But just thinking about going back in their time,
5:48
how I used to run and you know, go through the area. We
5:53
would have not the little trick or treat bags. We would have plastic bags
5:58
because we had more candy. We were a little older. I would say,
6:00
maybe ab I'm thirteen or fourteen. Yeah, we were still trick or
6:02
treating then, and we would run from the house to house. And the
6:08
thing about it, back then, we knew the house that we were going
6:12
to, We knew the people. The people kind of knew who we were
6:15
to you know, you could basically tell who we were with those little costumes
6:17
that we had, but we knew whose house to go to. We knew
6:20
Miss I won't say her name, but we knew she had the best candy
6:25
in the neighborhood. So we would often go to her house and her house
6:28
was always packed with kids, and sometimes you would even try to go back
6:30
to get more candy, and she knew who you were, but she always
6:34
gave us the extra candy. So, you know, we did a lot
6:36
of traveling around in the community again, throwing eggs, playing with each other.
6:43
And again that's when kids were kids. That's when it was a little
6:46
safer to go out into the community and just trick or treat and hang with
6:51
your friends. And even at that time, the candy was different. You
6:57
know some of the candy, Well, what was your favorite one? What
7:02
was your favorite Halloween candy? Was it the Skittles? Was it Hershey mum
7:09
chocolate? Maybe it was the Snickers. Some people even had Eminem's. Yeah,
7:16
I see Travida. Yup. The costumes are different these days. And
7:19
we had the grocery store bag for our candy on somebody saying receas. Yep,
7:24
they still have the reces I just went shopping and brought some of those.
7:28
But yeah, we had the grocery store bag. They held a lot,
7:31
those little bags that's about this big. What was they gonna hold?
7:35
TUTSI rolls, candy corn yap, candy corn. My mother loves those candy
7:40
corns. You can never go back with the candy corns. And a good
7:44
thing about the candy corns this time, I know nobody want to give free
7:47
candy where it's open, and you know, other people's children have to have
7:50
them. Chocolate chocolate is the best. They come in little packets now where
7:56
it's more protective, and I'm really happy that they did that. But my
8:01
favorite was Payday. I love the Payday now. The thing about it is
8:07
with the Payday I was able to eat it then, but years later I
8:11
found out that I have some peanut allergies, so I can't even have that.
8:16
Yeah, I just can't be eating the peanut ones. But I know
8:20
the Eminem's peanut or playing they were also good. But I know that it
8:24
sounds corny. But is anyone still giving out pennies? We used to find
8:30
it in the bottom of our bag. Yeah, Latian, you love Candy
8:33
Kane too. They can't be corned too. We used to find pennies in
8:37
our bags, and back then you would look and say, I don't want
8:39
no pennies, didn't have enough for a cost, and had the weird sheet
8:43
with holes for is. Hey, you gotta do what you gotta do.
8:46
You was a ghost, Casper, here you go. Casper was their friendly
8:52
ghost. Sometimes they still do that. You know, everybody don't always have
8:56
the money to do that. But you were innovative and you were creative,
9:00
and I know you Patreced creative and innovative, so you see where you got
9:05
it from. It was worth cutting the holes in the sheet. Look where
9:07
you're at now, you ass that's right. Look where you're at now.
9:11
So cutting the holes in the sheet, little black eyes, tying it up
9:16
with string or rope or whatever you had it was okay now. It may
9:20
not have felt like it was okay back then. Everybody don't have that luxury
9:26
of going out and buying costumes, and these costumes are expensive. I had
9:31
to buy two costumes, one for my son and one for my grandson.
9:35
You have kids breathing with those plastic masks. No, you couldn't breathing them.
9:39
But again, they are so creative now, and they're expensive. I
9:43
paid forty dollars for one costume. No, I don't want to hear it.
9:46
I don't want to see nobody write nothing that you crazy. You brought
9:50
it when you love your kids. You love your kids and they're gonna wear
9:54
it next year too. I was a little bopee one years old that was
9:58
so adorable. The cute little cost rooms that they're dressing up their babies up,
10:01
and you just see you see sheeps. That was the most fun.
10:07
Yep, Betrees grown up as a kid, that was the most fun growing
10:13
up and being able to play and play and safe. But you look at
10:16
it, you know, with the price of everything going up, you gotta
10:20
buy the candy, you gotta buy the costume. And the sad thing about
10:24
it is they want these costumes that are these characters that they see on TV.
10:28
I'm not shading Disney, but your costumes are expensive. Some families just
10:35
can't afford it. They honestly cannot afford it, you know, so they
10:41
do what they have to do. But it's nothing like sitting with your child
10:45
and making a costume and drawing on the face and using makeup. I guess
10:48
what the little girls that would be one time you can actually wear makeup.
10:52
So it was a lot of fun for me growing up the time. It
10:56
says I love Halloween. My son was the screen care so for three years
11:01
straight. Hey, you save money. You may have just changed it and
11:03
add a little something to it, but there's nothing wrong with being that and
11:07
he probably loved it and thinking about it back then him looking at it now,
11:13
how does he dress his daughter? How does he dress his son?
11:16
Is he your father. Do he dresses kids in a different way than the
11:20
way that you dress them? May or he may not. But again it
11:28
was expensive. Like I said, my kids are gonna wear the same costume
11:31
next year for forty dollars. We're gonna get our money's worth out of it.
11:33
Believe you may, We're gonna get our money's worth out of it.
11:37
What I want to know is parents this Halloween, please be mindful for those
11:45
who go out without their children. You have to understand that everybody out there
11:52
is not trick or treating. This is that season that some people are lurking
12:00
in areas where they know there's a lot of children, and these kids are
12:05
walking around by themselves. They're in costumes, they're running around having fun,
12:09
and they're just not understanding what's going on. You said that he loved it.
12:13
I bet you he did. I bet you did. Tell me you
12:16
have pictures. He still loves Halloween and he does make sure that his daughter
12:18
has a costume. Wonderful. How many of you still have pictures of your
12:24
kids and those cute little costumes. I call them the black male costumes because
12:28
you know, you can say how cute they were, but they look like
12:30
no, no, you're not gonna show that picture. I think I have
12:33
a few of them talked away, and I think I'm gonna use those for
12:35
when i need to have something done around the house. I'm going to use
12:39
those for I guess I could just say black mail. But getting back to
12:43
being safe out there, you have to monitor your children when they're out there.
12:50
You have to check their candy when they getting home. I know that
12:54
this is the dentist famous and favorite time of the year. Well it's my
12:58
kids for you time of the year too, because they only get to eat
13:01
candy twice a year. I know somebody say, oh, you know they
13:05
sneaking, kidd the nook. I can't mind in them and see everything they're
13:07
doing, but I do know that I only give them permission to eat candy
13:13
twice a year. That is for Halloween, and that is for Easter.
13:18
Those only ten times of the year that I figured it was the best time
13:22
of the year to allow them to eat candy, because I am not trying
13:24
to put somebody else's child through college or to pay somebody's mortgage with the dentist
13:28
bill. Trevida You says, yes, those costumes are expensive. They are
13:33
expensive. Yeah, I just I look, if I can lay away a
13:37
costume, I'll lay it away. I will lay it away in a minute.
13:41
It's nothing wrong with putting two ten kids together with a string and saying
13:46
that you've a telephone operating. You walk with your friend down the block,
13:48
say something, do something. But the best thing about the Halloween for these
13:52
kids, I think it's just being out there having fun. Treeda. You
13:58
said me too, Yep, I get it, I get it. It's
14:01
to having fun and running around and just I guess it's the candy. I
14:07
guess it's the candy for them, But for me, it's more so staying
14:11
in the house with my kids, watching scary movies, sitting in our pajamas,
14:16
telling scary stories, looking at old pictures. I guess for them,
14:22
it's also ordering pizza. Now. I do buy candy for them, at
14:24
least I don't have to go check it all the time. And we do
14:30
put out candy for other kids, but again, I make sure it's the
14:31
same candy. Make sure that you have to actually pull it open, not
14:37
the ones with the little twist on it. Because anybody can do and I'm
14:41
gonna say anybody can do something with it. They can lace it. I
14:43
remember back in my time, and I'm not telling anybody to do this,
14:46
but I'm telling you to check. They used to give our fruit. Hey,
14:54
Unfortunately, you can't steal the grand baby stickers this year. I'm gonna
14:58
do that. And that's my grandbaby talking about. See. But I can't
15:01
take the Snickers because it has the peanuts in it. And you know that,
15:03
and you know you're wrong. You know you're wrong for bringing up those
15:05
dag on snickers. But that's all right. I got some. I got
15:09
some candy upstairs hitting for myself, so you're gonna have to go looking for
15:11
it. But I'm gonna move away from her because she's just trying to teach
15:16
me because you know that I can't eat the Snickers this year because of the
15:18
peanuts, and we went out and bought a lot. It's nostalgia of it
15:22
for me, Yes, it is. You get to sit back, you
15:26
get to relax, You get to watch those grand babies now and just just
15:31
adore them. You just adore them. You still have those pictures. Good
15:35
for you, Travina. Call it blackmail, Trevina. Use those pictures when
15:39
you need something. Let them know you're gonna post them on Facebook. You're
15:43
gonna send them and let their friends see them. Take the pictures of the
15:46
grand babies too, because they're gonna grow up and you won't need those pictures
15:50
because you know, the older we get, the more they gonna they gonna
15:54
want from us. So use those pictures to blackmail, but in a good
15:58
way, in a good way, you know, rape the watch dishes,
16:03
Do whatever you have to do. Dangle those pictures over them, because it
16:06
works. It works with me because a little smarty that got on it just
16:08
now talking about the grand baby and the peanut snickers. I got you.
16:15
I got something for you. I have some pictures of you. If i'd
16:18
have known you it was gonna come on here tonight and do that, I
16:21
would have got a picture of you and hold it up. But I'm gonna
16:22
be on the show next next week and the week after that, So I
16:26
got some baby pictures of you. I don't think you're gonna like it,
16:29
but I'm gonna show it anyway when you go upstairs and try to look for
16:30
it. But I got them hitting. See, this is what you get.
16:36
This is exactly what you get for trying to play your mother. Yoh,
16:38
you wanna laugh? Got jokes? Okay, I got jokes too,
16:41
Remember you sleep pard BC's cup. You're talking about all the stuff with the
16:45

16:51

18:21
she tried to be sticking take me off of here, but Easter and Halloween
18:25
were at the time of the year. She's probably trying to get back of
18:26
it because she was one of my children that couldn't have the candy either.
18:29
But she should be grateful for it now because I do it with my grands
18:33
But for the most part, like I said, I stay on with my
18:34
kids. I ordered some pizza, I watched some crazy movies and my pajamas
18:40

18:42

we're still learning. We're learning about this wonderful network. We're not adoption.
24:56
We're learning about each other. But more than that we're learning about ourselves because
25:03
I've learned a lot about myself. I didn't think I'm gonna be honest,
25:07
I didn't think that I would ever do a podcast. Now, I'll be
25:10
a guest on anybody's show. But to sit and to talk to people,
25:15
I always say I didn't have anything to talk about. People not gonna listen
25:18
to me. Shoot, my kids barely want to listen to me. But
25:21
they're grown now, most of them. But I found so many wonderful people
25:26
that wanted their stories, told so many people that did not have their own
25:33
voice, and they asked me to use my voice for their voice. And
25:36
I did, and I'm continuing to do that. We are the change we
25:40
desired to see in this world, and we want you to be a part
25:44
of this right here, right now. So while you're sitting here tonight and
25:48
watching us, you see all the information on there, you can go in
25:52
d and me, you can speak to the crew podcast. We're on almost
25:56
every social media network there is seeing I never imagine myself doing it. See
26:03
a lot of us didn't imagine ourselves doing this, but Angela made it easy.
26:08
She made it comfortable, and she made us feel like we were family
26:14
the crew aspiring Author's magazine. I come with four kids and a ninety old
26:18
men. Know what you didn't see? Now you're gonna put my mama out
26:22
there? Now you want to go for it. You're talking about my mother.
26:26
Now, you know you're gonna have some problems. You didn't have to
26:29
put your grandmother out there, and you didn't have to tell her age.
26:32
But I'm gonna tell her that you went out there and you put it out
26:33
there. You so you're selling your grandmother. That's sad, that's it.
26:38
But I'm gonna tell her what you said. M m watch me and my

26:48

26:59
what we do. We want you to join us, watch us on the

27:12
the vacation. Your go ahead and have her packing your bags. Now you're
27:19
not packing them fast? Enough because I don't care too much moving around and
27:23
when you pack your bag, when you pack your bag, you got a
27:27
one year old. I don't feel like changing pampas. I love her.
27:30
You can bring her back after she finished all of that pooping in the pampa
27:34
and the party changing and getting up in the middle of the night. You
27:37
can take it with you. But when she gets a little older, you
27:40
can bring her back. Because I love my granddaughter. You see how we
27:42

27:48

28:08
idea what I'm gonna do with her this year for her ninety ninth birthday,
28:11

28:15
hundredth birthday. Man, oh man, it's gonna be It's gonna be something,
28:19

28:42
on Valentine. Oh, okay, she's your new nana. Yes she is,
28:48
Yes she is. She's everybody's nana. She's everybody's grandma. Now you're
28:52
gonna have some competition in a minute, because I know somebody's gonna come in
28:53
here and tell you something about that's her grandmother. No, I ain't gonna
28:56
tell you who she is, but she's gonna talk on in a minute,
28:59
and she's gonna tell you that's just her grandmother because she's spoiled. She's her
29:03
cry baby granddaughter. She spoiled, and her grandmother spoils her if she knows
29:10
them, or and she's like, who's that is that my granddaughter? Is
29:12
that my crybaby granddaughter? Yeah? Mom, that's her. She's on here.
29:18
What she doing, She's doing everything? And I keep telling her to
29:22
relax. Yep, that's the crybaby granddaughter right there. So we are gonna
29:30
celebrate her. We're gonna celebrate her or celebrate her, celebrate she enjoyed last
29:33
year. I have an idea. Who you talking about? Yeah, you
29:37
guessed it. That's time. She'll cry in a minute. But we love
29:42
her and you can see why. That's why we want you to join the
29:48
crew. Now. I'm not gonna promise you that I'm gonna share my mom
29:52
with you, but you can get to know her because sometimes I interview my
29:56
mom. She's an author, she's going through just like me, or I'm
30:02
an author just like her. And she has a lot to say. Believe
30:07
me, she has a lot to say, and she'll say it too.
30:10
She's one person. Well I put it like this. She does speak of
30:15
mine when when she feels like it's necessary to speak of mine, and that's
30:19
most of the time. But you gotta give me away. Oh yeah,
30:23
yeah, you know you're going you're gonna. I thought you were packing your
30:26
bags and did I see somebody say something about a uber you packing your bags
30:33
but you're still on here? How mm hmm. Yeah, I kind of
30:37
thought. So you don't want to go no place. You snitching over.
30:41
You ain't got a jill telling myself. Matter of fact, I'll replay this
30:45
for and I let her know what you said about her, and I'll let
30:48
her know. Yet you go have the trees call that uber. You must
30:51
know how I feel't call that uber Patrees, and I'll give y'all DM you
30:55
my address, so they make sure that they are on tie. See I
30:59
would have given her a rocket, them not let her get in an uber.
31:00
Let her pay for it with a smart mouth. But again, I'm
31:06
gonna tell you you love an uber. Jesus. She's a piece of word.
31:12
She is her grandmother's granddaughter. Both of them are piece of work.
31:17
Matter of fact, both of them under the same sign. So you can
31:18
imagine what I go through here in the house, Tesla. Please, but
31:25
you see again, this is why we want you to join us. We
31:26
have a lot of fun. We will take you to see I thought we
31:33
were here. She's not a part of the crew. She's just a plus
31:37
one. How do you take that? You're gonna take her here and she's
31:40
giving me problems and we together. You see, Latanya, see how you
31:48
became a turncoat? It was that easy. Mm hmm. She turned you.
31:53
How did that happen? Two seconds ago you were on my side,
31:56
But now you're talking about you're gonna take her chill. Oh yeah, you're
32:01
special. Al right, then y'all a special. That's okay. Remember that
32:07
when your birthday come, thank you, sweetiedad. Go my baby shaking her
32:14
head knowing you know how she is. She went there tonight. But you
32:21
know something that's funny. I don't hear no moving house. The house is
32:23
quiet, quiet, so she's probably upstairs mopping the floor, washing the dishes.
32:31
And then you're gonna tell me that she's gotta plate a food ready for
32:35
me. Yeah, uh huh m. Now I was born this month but
32:39
not this year, so you can keep your food because right now I'm not
32:45
even trusting me because you ready to do some numbers on me, talking about
32:50
you're gonna tell your grandmother and you're gonna take her with you, okay,
32:54
and she'd be getting on your nerves. You'll be handling about you're gonna take
32:57
her with you. Let's wait till tomorrow morning when she get up and she
33:04
feeling herself. Let's see how much you talking about I'm gonna take her with
33:09
me when she's asking for her coffee, when she's telling you that it's not
33:15
sweet enow, when she's telling you that she needs hro She in trouble.
33:22
Yes, she's in trouble. Oh boy, she just don't know how trouble
33:25
is. She really don't know. And you studying for your boards and you
33:30
need it quiet, and you're gonna need a ride there. Mm hmm.
33:38
Yeah, I see you. I see you for who you really are.
33:44
You showing all your colors, miss Blue. Mm hmm. I got you
33:49
got something for you too. Now, that's not a threat, that's just
33:52
the way I speak. And I got into trouble for that one time I
33:54
said something in the state that I'm living in and I'm from New York,
34:00
so I speak and the way did I speak. I don't apologize for what
34:07
I say. But when people say certain things and I say something back,
34:13
and I give you a response, because that's all it is is a response,
34:15
you get offended. And I'm not here to offend anybody. But there
34:21
is a language difference, and I'm not gonna say a barrier. It's a
34:24
difference. Now I'll say, I'll give you an example from where I'm at.
34:30
My brother had a female friend come visit him in New York and she
34:37
was speaking the way I guess she speaks from where she was coming from,
34:39
and she happened to say to him, I'm gonna dot you in an eye,
34:44
and I'm gonna bang you. So, being from New York, when
34:46
you tell somebody you're gonna bang him, what do you think that means?
34:51
That means that you're gonna shot. That's what I took it as, and
34:55
that's what everybody else around us took it as. But she gotta pass because
35:00
she didn't know. Now, I moved to the state that she's in and
35:05
I went into the store and I asked a gentleman, can I have four
35:09
wings, chicken wings, and some French fries? He asked me, did
35:15
I want a chicken box? So I'm looking at him and saying to him,
35:20
no, I want four wings, chicken wings, and some French fries.
35:23
And he kept saying that I want a chicken box. I said this,
35:25
I don't want a box of chicken. And I'm thinking, like a
35:28
box a chicken from home. It's different than here. So I let that
35:31
go and I said, well, if that's what it is, then yes,
35:35
that's what I want. So he asked me, did I want something
35:37
to drink? And I said, yes, I do want something to drink.
35:42
Can I get tea with lemon? He asked me, did I want
35:46
a half in half? So at this point I started getting annoyed because I
35:51
said, if I wanted a half in half, I would go to the
35:52
supermarket and I would get a half in half, because to me, the
35:55
half and half is, you know, the cream that you put in your
35:59
core field, whatever it is you're gonna have or you're cereal or whatever it
36:01
is. So I'm looking at him like, no, I want some tea
36:06
with some women, and he just kept going on with this half and hand.
36:08
So I said I'm done. I had no idea what he was talking
36:12
about, but that's what they call it here, so you know I heard
36:16
him. I still say the way that I want to say it, and
36:22
that's the way I get along here. Now here's one of the things that
36:27
I was really baffled about. I was driving my car and my car stalled,
36:35
so I said that I needed to write Arnold Palmer. They just don't
36:38
get it. If I was said that, they would have just been looking
36:42
for the golfer. So I just knew not to even go there with the
36:45
Arnold Palmer, if that's even if they knew what it was. So my
36:49
car got stalled, so I said, I need a boost. The gentleman
36:53
said, you need some help. I said, yes, I need a
36:55
boost. He said, excuse me, He said, I can give you
37:00
a hot shot. Now here we go get Being from New York, I'm
37:01
thinking he's talking about hot I'm thinking about God, how to shoot me.
37:06
But a hot shot here is what we call a boost, and that's just
37:08
to get our car jump started. I had no idea what he was talking
37:15
about. But he jump started my car and I got out of there just
37:16
as quick as I could, because I had no idea what was going on.
37:21
That's the language that they spoke here. And when you go to different
37:28
communities and you go to different states, I feel as though you need to
37:30
have a dictionary. And it's not an ethnic thing or any race you thing.
37:36
It's just that you need to know what the lingo is when you're in
37:38
that state, because they could be bad mistakes. People can take language.
37:45
See now somebody's saying that, now, see, a jump off could be
37:47
plenty of things. So I ain't gonna go there with a jump off.
37:50
So I'm gonna act like you didn't even say that. But I got a
37:52
feeling that you I know what you meant with the car, But somebody else
37:54
said something else, somebody said boost. I would have said, no,
37:58
I don't need you to steal me. You see what I'm saying that we're
38:00
all from different places, and this is what I'm talking about. People say
38:05
different things. So he many people think that I have an accent. You
38:10
know. They'll say, oh, I know you're from New York. I
38:12
say, no, I'm from Jersey. Because sometimes I feel like they're trying
38:15
to be a little smart with it. But it is what it is.
38:19
But now here's something no matter what statum in and my daughter, I'm gonna
38:23
say it low. My daughter have a problem with me saying it, so
38:29
she'll say, Mom, I'm going to get something from Chick fil Am.
38:36
I say that it's chick Fela. Look at the way that it's spelled.
38:39
It's I I l A. Growing up, you had a pair of fela's
38:44
on fil A is spelled what I l if I L E T T.
38:50
That's so for l fl air fish. So I know, and I feel
38:53
strong about it that I'm saying it right. It's chick Fela. She says,
38:59
it's chick fila. We say, boost off and jump off here and
39:02
south and see that's what I'm saying. So I'm glad you told me because
39:05
now when I come to visit, well, you know what, when I
39:07
come to business, it's gonna call you to take you to pick me up.
39:09
I'm not gonna drive because I'll be in all sorts of trouble. I'll
39:13
probably be going up a street that I'm thinking I can go down and it's
39:15
probably a one way street. See that's what I'm saying. There you go.
39:19
I agree. It's like the shoe Fela. There you go. Now,
39:22
I hope she's listening to that little miss Smarty. Where you at?
39:24
Now? I say the same thing. It's Fela fi la, so I
39:30
say, and I sit around people, I say, no, I don't
39:32
want to need chick feel and they love him. I'm like, well,
39:36
whatever you said it was, I don't want that, But I say,
39:38
it's chick feel love. They have good food. Don't get me wrong.
39:42
I'm not trying to come down there, but that's just the way that I
39:44
pronounce it. And I'm not saying that I speak proper immages because I don't
39:50
speak the Queen's English. So if I went over there on London, they
39:53
would laugh at me because what we speak is broken English. Year and I'm
39:58
not laughing at anybody the state to a man, I'm just saying that we
40:01
speak our meanings for certain things are different, and if you don't know,
40:07
then what you should do is say what do you mean by that? Simple
40:13
thing? What do you mean by that? And that can reduce a lot
40:16
of tension between people, and it can reduce a lot of arguments, bussing
40:22
fighting. Just ask a person what do you mean You don't have to fight,
40:28
You don't have to argue simple thing, What do you mean by that?
40:34
It can take care so much just by asking that simple question. Well,
40:39
it's Halloween. I'm hearing some movement upstairs, so I think the kids
40:44
either the pizza's here or either somebody's at the door and they're here to get
40:50
some candy. But I thank you all so very much for joining me tonight.

41:45
But she forgot that. She used to run around out there in them little
41:47
costumes. I used to get her to begging for candy. So that's what
41:51
I'm gonna call you, begging for candy, knocking on doors, begging for
41:53
candy, holding your bag open, looking pathetic. I know I'm your mom
42:00
us, So why not? Good night? Everybody? Be safe. Basic
