They have cell phones, but they're very expensive.

They're car phones, clunky and big.

My dad had one, but it's like a thousand.

Speaking about permanent fees, it's like a thousand dollars a minute to call locally.

It was insane dollars.

And so my dad had it, but he was like, we only use this in emergency circumstances.

So happy birthday.

We obviously never made big deals about birthdays, but happy birthday.

And what we unwrapped was a phone, an actual phone, like a physical phone.

And Kevin and I were like, oh, great.

Thanks for the phone, Dad.

That's cool.

Is it cordless?

It was not cordless until a couple of years later when I paid for my own cordless phone.

But it had a big cord, so you could walk around the entire room with it.

And then he said, I have installed your own phone lines in your own room.

Now, we already had the outlet, but he said, here's your phone number, here's your phone number.

That's very cool of him.

Great.

Until a couple of years later, when one night I am watching one of those channels, I see Miss Cleo and I call her up.
