- 1:49Speaker 2: Is a I don't think that's bad. I mean maybe,
- 1:53Speaker 2: but that's cute to me. And maybe I'm toxic.
- 1:58Speaker 3: Well it's just for a few minutes. He's not this frail,
- 2:01Speaker 3: sick version of himself. You know, he's my grandpa again.
- 2:07Speaker 3: Like he smiles and he jokes and his eyes look alive.
- 2:11Speaker 2: Same listen, same, I'm not in hospice. I get bourbon,
- 2:13Speaker 2: I smile, I look alive. I'm the same way. So
- 2:17Speaker 2: me and Graham's same, right. Okay, Well, if your family,
- 2:22Speaker 2: if your family found this out, so you're keeping a
- 2:24Speaker 2: secret because they would not be okay with that.
- 2:26Speaker 3: I'm assuming right if my family found out, they would
- 2:29Speaker 3: lose it. Like they say, I'm being irresponsible and that's
- 2:34Speaker 3: wrong and I'm interfering with his care. But like I mean, honestly, why,
- 2:40Speaker 3: I mean, he's I hate to say it, but he's dying.
- 2:42Speaker 3: Like I don't, why does it matter? Yeah?
- 2:45Speaker 1: Right, I mean you have a good point. I know that.
- 2:48Speaker 2: Of course, they want to extend somebody's life as much
- 2:50Speaker 2: as they can, and they want to make it comfortable.
- 2:51Speaker 2: If you're going to make it comfortable, bring me a
- 2:53Speaker 2: little bourbon, little Jack and coke, put a little some
- 2:56Speaker 2: some in my insurance.
- 2:57Speaker 1: We're good to go. So I don't think you're doing
- 2:58Speaker 1: anything wrong. I think you're just when you're a thing.
- 3:00Speaker 4: I used to do the same thing for my uncle John,
- 3:03Speaker 4: you know really Yeah, every time I went to Sreeport
- 3:07Speaker 4: he lived in East Texas, I stopped buy and give
- 3:10Speaker 4: him a little bottle of either tequila.
- 3:12Speaker 1: Or Jack Daniels. But one difference, he wasn't dying. Yeah,
- 3:17Speaker 1: he had cirrhosis of the liver. Yeah. Oh yeah, I
- 3:20Speaker 1: got calls from alcohol. Yes, okay, now I don't know
- 3:23Speaker 1: about that one. Yeah, but I was just like, if
- 3:25Speaker 1: you're dying because you're an alcoholic.
- 3:27Speaker 4: I know, and my dad was living when he found out.
- 3:30Speaker 4: But I just I mean, it's my uncle John, like
- 3:32Speaker 4: he's I just always used to just give it to him.
- 3:35Speaker 4: I stopped buying and be like, yeah, just a little,
- 3:37Speaker 4: not not a lot, but.
- 3:39Speaker 1: Right, Okay, yeah, wow, big secret over here from Pool.
- 3:42Speaker 3: Yeah, I've even thought about bringing him a cigarette. I
- 3:48Speaker 3: haven't done it yet. I haven't done it yet, but
- 3:50Speaker 3: I've definitely considered it. Wow, And I joked about maybe
- 3:53Speaker 3: even an edible, like that's crazy. I don't know.
- 3:59Speaker 2: Well, you know what, we have a We actually have
- 4:00Speaker 2: a stripper on the phone that said she would come
- 4:02Speaker 2: if no.
- 4:05Speaker 1: Okay, fine, No, I'm right.
- 4:08Speaker 3: I look at this point, you know, his comfort matters
- 4:11Speaker 3: more than rules. Yeah, it's hard. I'm going to keep
- 4:14Speaker 3: doing it, like every visit a little bourbon. This is
- 4:17Speaker 3: the only time I get to get my grandpa back,
- 4:19Speaker 3: even if it's just for a few minutes.
- 4:20Speaker 1: No, I think it's very sweet.
- 4:22Speaker 2: And I think, you know, first of all, all jokes aside,
- 4:25Speaker 2: I'm sorry you're in that situation.
- 4:26Speaker 1: That's awful.
- 4:27Speaker 2: It's not a good place to be and everybody has
- 4:30Speaker 2: to do their own thing to kind of get through it.
- 4:32Speaker 2: And I think that you're probably helping him in and
- 4:34Speaker 2: this is your cute little bond that you will have forever.
- 4:37Speaker 2: I don't think you're doing anything wrong. And if your
- 4:39Speaker 2: family would get upset about this, it is what it is,
- 4:41Speaker 2: they can get over it, honestly.
- 4:43Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 4:44Speaker 3: I mean, I hope if I'm ever in that situation,
- 4:46Speaker 3: somebody does the exact same thing for me.
- 4:49Speaker 1: Same.
- 4:49Speaker 2: I'm gonna tell you right now, bring me a little
- 4:51Speaker 2: some some I don't care what my family says. Okay,
