Family Trips with the Meyers Brothers · W. KAMAU BELL Took His Mom Parasailing · 14 Jul 2026 podcast

So, yeah.

I think it was also part of my mom that is so from Indianapolis, like a poor kid from Indianapolis, poor black girl from Indianapolis, that her world was so small and she thought she was never going to escape it.

And everything she wanted to do was to escape that world and...

But she's still in a place where sometimes she feels like, why did they get to do that over there?

I'm mad at them.

It's like, actually, if we pay $75, we get to do it too.

Yeah, I mean that's the big – because my dad, like I said, my dad eventually became a titan of industry.

But when I was a kid, he worked – he was like a bank manager.

So when you're in Mobile, the big trip is either New Orleans, which we went to a couple times.

But the more main trip is like the beaches of – they call it the Redneck Riviera, which is where I'm taking my kids to.

And that's what they call it.

And it's basically the beaches of Alabama and Florida that's close to Alabama –

and you'd rent these sort of motel condos, and that would be your trip on the beach.

It's funny.

These beautiful beaches that happen to be on the least popular parts of Florida and Alabama.

And that's where I'm taking my kids.

Now the condos are like these –

giant towers but that was like the when we were going to the beach that was a time we were like we have lived well we have done well in life we're going to the beach and you know you go to the grocery store and you have to buy new buy groceries it's the fun part of staying in a condo on the beach you have to buy groceries are we gonna finish this box of cereal you know what i mean like yeah like

Well, that's what my wife does.

This is like you get to buy the cereals you don't normally buy that we will never buy for you at home.
