So I usually start these episodes by asking someone if they ever sat in this backseat. And if they did, whose car? Like, where did you sit in this seat? Yeah. So my Papa Al Bowen, my grandpa Bowen was like he would buy and sell everything. Salesman for his whole thing.

Like almost every week he would have a different car. Oh, really? He was like that. He'd flip them. Yeah. Bro, one time my grandma came home from shopping and he had the house for sale. I'm not kidding. She's like, Bill. Like, yeah, he just put the house over it. I don't know. want to see what I could get for it, you know?

I'm just fishing around.

He's always looking for a deal.

I'm just fishing around. He's always looking for a deal. Man, he went to, um, he told us, he told us about this deal. He got on shoes one time. And he shows up at church with these dress shoes, man. Look at these things. I got $1.50. He starts walking around and they start falling apart. He bought a pair of like cardboard funeral shoes that you bury people with.

Nah,

you know. $1.50. He starts walking around and they start falling apart. He bought a pair of like cardboard funeral shoes that you bury people in. N'uh. I didn't even know they sold them. He somehow thought he got the deal of the century. So he's walking around barefoot with the church because he is a real gator, man. Yeah. So that's who he had, he had one of these cars for a while.
