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

Yes.

Both my parents were the first in their family to go to college.

My mom finished her undergrad degree, but she didn't finish her post-grad degree.

And my dad was one of the guys who went back to college when he was 30 and got his undergrad degree and his MBA.

So I think for both of them, they're like,

He'll go back if he needs to eventually, and here we sit still and eventually.

Although my dad was pissed because I'd gotten into an Ivy League school, which is something he never would have been able to do when he was in high school, and so he was not happy about it.

Yeah, my mom actually lives in our house.

We just moved her in last year.

She's 89.

My dad still lives in Mobile, Alabama with his new new wife, and yeah, he doesn't want to leave.

Yes, yeah, this means a third.

I mean, yeah, so he was married to my stepmom for many, many years.

She passed away, and then my dad remarried again.

I mean, so I used to, I lived there for two and a half years.

I used to go there every summer.

And so, yeah, I mean, you know, it was rough because there was sort of a sense of, I mean, ultimately it was great.

But at the beginning, there was just, when I got there, they were like, okay, now call your stepmom mom.

And I was like, I already have a mom that I call mom.

I don't, I don't think mom's a title you can confer to other people, you know?
