Duly. She got pregnant. I don't know why I said it like that either. You were just spilling the beans. She got pregnant. She was a mail carrier. She got pregnant, so she couldn't carry the mail anymore. She wanted to keep working. Sorry. Long story short, she took the janitor job temporarily and then fucking loved it.
She was like, I got to clean one bathroom, and I got a government salary, and blah, blah, blah. So my youngest sister is a karate instructor. She's a black, double, triple black belt in karate. She's had lunches and symposiums. Sounds like they're your brothers, dude. I've never met female karate instructors. That is funny. I never thought of that.
Yeah, I'm the girliest one in my family. Does she have her own dojo? She does. Well, it just burnt down. What? It just burnt down.
She has lunch with fucking Chuck Norris all the time. What? Well, not all the time. She's been to many breakfasts and lunches with Chuck Norris.
Anyway.
No, my mother actually, she was more on the technical side of, do you remember when in the old days you could roll back odometers to make cars work more?
My mother was the best in the business at it. My mother could roll back any odometer, and other dealerships would call. This is back in the 80s.
Okay. This is in the 80s. I'm sure we're fine. This is in the 80s, but my mother would roll back the odometer. Allegedly. She's a little tiny lady. She'd get up under the dashboard and pull it apart.
She even figured out how to do the, when they first came out with the digitals, she used a 9-volt battery, and she'd just tap, tap, tap until it rolled over, and then it would have the miles you wanted on it. All right. Okay.
It was for a bunch of years, and then he got crazy. He went crazy. Okay. And so the business kind of floundered after that.
So the business went away. Okay. And then he went into the nuthouse for a couple of years, and he was kind of incapacitated for a couple of years. Gotcha. And then he and my cousin and my father, my uncle... We all opened a new car dealership, and that didn't last very long.
No kidding. Yeah, but I was young. I was just starting out in comedy, so I didn't really give a shit. And we were really selling sleds. Selling sleds. God damn, that's good. Cement mixes. Cement mixes. Just fucking pieces of shit.
It was a two family home. We lived in the, it was a three bedroom, one bath upstairs, and then we had a rental unit beneath us.
And now that rental unit is now where my parents currently live, and they rent out the top floor to a comedian that we know. That's where the top floor is. We lived above my parents.
And usually open. Yeah, yeah. They would have the door open so strippers could see what's going on. This wasn't a three-decker, was it? No, double-decker.
You're ruining the vibe. The baby's trying to sleep. Was there a baby? My sister's baby. When my mother and father would watch the baby at my house, we'd be fucking playing rock band. And I could only play rock band if it was at full volume because you don't want to hear the clicky track of the – Sure. Plastic guitar. How old are you?
No, not 40. Maybe. Anyway, I'm a late bloomer. A bloomer. I'm a late bloomer.
And then she became a VA technician or something at the Veterans Hospital.
She did that for a lot of years. She's retired now. My father's retired now. Okay. What was the grocery store growing up? The grocery store across the street from my house was Stop and Shop. Stop and Shop. Not bad.
I was distracted. I wasn't a great student. All the teachers always said the same thing. Like, oh, if he just applied himself.
