Speaker 1 (00:00):
Peyton, You're going to La.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Why my family is in LA.
Speaker 3 (00:05):
My dad is actually from south central Los Angeles, So
I'm going out there this weekend to spend time with
my grandpa. It was his birthday yesterday, so our whole
family's going out there. But yesterday I was on FaceTime
with my aunties.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
And I love them. They are pure comedy.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
And I learned a few things on my FaceTime call
with my aunties. One apparently audio books are the new thing.
They were talking about this audiobook that they were listening
to as if it was like how we would talk
about a movie or a TV show. And I was
just sitting there listening to them. They're like, have you
gotten to this part?
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (00:39):
Wick gets so good, and I'm just like making fun
of them. I'm like, you guys are so book. It's
called Danger. I'm not sure who it was written by.
They didn't tell me that. They said it's called Danger
and that apparently it's really spicy. And I was like,
I don't want to listen to that, and they were like,
you need to listen so you can teach Kadeem.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
A little something. Wow. I was like, okay, well.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Maybe when one of you guys, mak me up from
the airport on Saturday.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
We can put on your little audio book. Whatever.
Speaker 4 (01:05):
Isn't that what you're what you're saying, is that they're
talking about like a TV show? Is that what book
clubs are? I? Yeah, my wife was at a book
club yesterday last night. Like that's what they do they
talk about. Yeah, if I were in a book club,
the only thing I would do is listen to the
audiobooks and then I would be able to participate.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
I thought it was fascinating. It was so fascinating. I'm like,
who listens to audio books? But I guess they do.
And apparently it's the new thing. And if you want
to spicing up your little life, go and get.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
An audio audition. Dad's sisters.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
These are my dad's little sisters. So my dad's the
oldest and then it's my auntie Kenya and my auntie Gina,
who's the youngest. And so I'm on FaceTime with them.
We're laughing whatever. But I found out something really interesting
about like my family history that I didn't know. So
my aunt had sent me a picture of my grandpa
who were going to celebrate his birthday, and it was
(01:53):
a picture of my grandpa and my grandpa's dad and
my grandpa's two brothers, and the picture I'd never seen
a picture of my grandpa's dad, my great grandpa, and
I was like, he kind of looks like a lot
lighter than the rest of them, Like what's that about?
Speaker 2 (02:08):
And I didn't know.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
My Auntie Gena had told me that my grandpa his dad,
his dad's dad was half white, and I was like what,
I had no idea, Like that just blew my mind.
Like I thought my family was like one side was
white and one side was black.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
And then here I am the little chocolate swirl cup, right,
and so I'm asking all of these questions.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
I'm like, wait, my grandpa is like seventy something, which
means like his dad had to have been born and like,
I don't know, maybe like the nineteen forties or thirties.
So if that means that his dad was white, then
that means that his mom is black and that they
had an interracial relationship like in the nineteen tens.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
And I was like, oh wow, that is.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Not like what you hear in history, like that was
a time of like you know, race war, said congregation,
all of these.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Things and they could have probably gotten in trouble for it,
and all, Wow, they.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Loved each other.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
I mean, either they loved each other or it was
the awful side of history, you know. And my my
great great great grandma great great I don't even.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
Be losing me with all the great yeah, I don't
even I got you a great grandpa.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
So your great grandpa is half white.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
My great grandpa is half white.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Okay, so you're like, mom is black, which is just
not right comic.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
So you haven't heard any stories passed down like what happened?
They were so in love.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
I'm going to nineteen twenty three love story because that
love story is so beautiful. So I'm wondering, like if
there was a love story there or is it No,
it's it's really bad.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
You got to.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Research, That's what I'm saying. I have no idea what
side of history it really falls on. I just thought
it was so fast.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
Find letters, unless she burned out of letters to keep
herself warm in a fire, just like nineteen twenty.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Three, everything goes back to nineteen when you mentioned that
time frame. That kind of is what comes to mind
as of right now. But that's pretty that's pretty interesting.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
I thought that was just a grandpa.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
When you're there, I'm going to you might have some
He probably just thought nobody really wanted to know, or
you know whatever, But you should dig in and find out.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
That would be.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
Right, especially because I've always struggled with like my identity
and my family tree and the things like that. I've
always struggled with that. So I am like so excited
to get to La and talk to my grandpa about this.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
I'm like pumped.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
That'd be cool to get all the information. There's anyone
in your family done a family tree or something like that.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
We've done answer, so wouldn't you know.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
No, Like my uncle Serracule, he has he got into
this several years ago, many many years ago, and he
has a whole family tree of the Mexican side of
our family, how it came, where everybody came, and it's
really interesting. But I also only want to talk about
it with him for like five minutes, because you know,
you kind of get it with like you just go, yeah,
they were in love, and you want to hear a
little bit about it, but then enough.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
I don't need to hear more.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
Like my my uncle, my great great great whoever, murdered
somebody in Russia was a Russian, was a Jewish Russian man,
and then moved to escape that moved to Denver.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
I moved to Mexico and then married married a Mexican
and that's where the rest of my family came from. Right,
So so I know some of that, but like my
uncle has all the details, but after a while you
kind of.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
I feel like I could probably get the details because
my grandma, she passed two octobers ago. She was the
one that was secretive. She was the one that didn't
want to tell us anything. I think my grandpa might
spill the beans if I get a little bit of
Kognak in him.
Speaker 4 (05:25):
So that makes you're not exactly half white, then yes,
I am. How if there's a little half that, there's
some whiteness in the little bit, maybe you're maybe you're
a quarter white, maybe maybe.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
It would be more than a quarter.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
But my but my, so, my grandpa isn't my dad's
biological dad.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
He adopted.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
Two years so biology, I know biologically we're not Whitmores.
But because yeah, like biologically, like when we did ancestry,
DNA Moore does not show show up at my lineage.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
Even though that's so, you're like, you don't have a
family tree, like a family nursery.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
We're like Peyton Moon Valley nurseries.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
Just all these bushes and just follow the follow the
veins families.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Have broken trees from here and there and everywhere. But
I just thought that was so cool.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
That's very cool. I can't wait to hear what you
got to come back with on Monday.
Peyton, You're going to La.
