Okay, that was a good ending. Talk about
0:04
how AT&T, but um I'm not going to let
0:07
this be about them. It was about
0:09
Cleveland and Chappie. So,
0:12
Cleon Chappie came about through this
0:15
entire process of
0:18
yeah, my stroke, not be able to do
0:20
anything else. My daughter get a cat and
0:23
she got a really good job that takes her
0:26
away with a company car and hotels and
0:29
spas and all that. And we got her cat
0:33
for Christmas. And her poor little kitty
0:34
was there by herself with no mama.
0:38
So she said, "Chappy, take care of my
0:40
cat for me, please." I said, "What's her
0:43
name?" She said, "Cleo." I said, "Cleo."
0:48
I thought that cat, that lady said her
0:50
name was Sarah at the shelter. Yeah,
0:53
when we got that cat, she was so feral.
0:55
Oh, Cle was so feral. You couldn't pick,
0:58
you couldn't pick her up. You couldn't
0:59
touch her. You couldn't come near her.
1:01
She's honestly, if y'all see my videos,
1:03
she's still a little feral now. And
1:05
she's one year old. When we got her, she
1:08
was 8 weeks old, little. She weighs
1:11
about I don't know about maybe two lbs.
1:15
I was know she wore a pound. We got her.
1:17
she was so little. But um now she's a
1:21
whole year old and she weighs 11 lbs and
1:24
me and her have a whole channel
1:25
together. So
1:28
I just decided to go ahead and
1:31
record me and Cleo doing our Chappie and
1:34
Cleo thing. I have we had just bought a
1:38
house and I have a studio in the house.
1:41
Well, I call it my studio. I ain't going
1:43
I ain't going to flex on y'all cuz it
1:44
wasn't the studio. It was an extra room
1:47
downstairs in my daughter's two-bedroom
1:49
apartment. So, she allows me to be down
1:51
there in the other room in her two
1:55
bedroom apartment with the one bath.
1:56
They live beneath the what I call the
1:59
main level where there are four bedrooms
2:03
and three bathrooms upstairs where I I
2:06
stay.
2:07
So, for a person that had a stroke going
2:09
to a whole other apartment, this is
2:12
wonderful thing. And we bought a house
2:14
and we have land and you have neighbors
2:17
and fresh air and sunshine. That bird is
2:20
so pretty. I'm not I'm not gonna get
2:22
distracted though. That's another thing
2:23
about the stroke. I get way distracted.
2:25
Okay, so about me and me and Cleo. So I
2:29
went downstairs one day and I was
2:31
crashing out because I crash out
2:34
sometime. My emotions get over
2:39
they get overwhelming. Yeah, that's the
2:42
word. overwhelming.
2:44
And um I went downstairs in the studio
2:50
that time. It was just a a room with a
2:52
whole bunch of my daughter's clothes in
2:54
there that she didn't want and little
2:55
cute little baskets, Hello Kitty basket
2:57
and stuff. And a lot of our son's stuff,
3:00
studio equipment. My other son is a
3:03
musician. And our middle um son, he um
3:08
he's into weightlifting and health
3:09
stuff. So, a lot of his weights and
3:11
stuff were down there, too. So, I got on
3:13
the bed.
3:15
I was feeling mighty low. I was feeling
3:17
mighty down that day. I don't know what
3:18
happened, and I'm not going to try to
3:20
figure out what it is, but I mean, life
3:21
was lifing.
3:23
And I lay on the bed, got my phone, and
3:26
I just started talking on it.
3:29
And Cleo um
3:32
started making biscuits. I mean, I know
3:34
cat makes cats make biscuits cuz all my
3:36
cats made biscuits. But she started
3:38
making biscuits on me
3:40
with her claws and everything, the feral
3:43
cat. So, yeah. Then after she made her
3:46
biscuits, she got super tight and she
3:47
laid down and we were bonding and that's
3:49
how we started
3:51
and I and I've been in love with her
3:53
ever since. Have y'all seen Cleo? Oh my
3:55
gosh, she is so cute. I love her so
3:57
much. That's my baby. But yeah, we have
4:00
our good days and our bad days. I mean,
4:03
honestly, I consider her my boss on Cleo
4:05
and Chappie cuz the page was started for
4:06
her. I told her I was going to get her a
4:09
get her a new mommy cuz her mommy wasn't
4:11
about nothing. I was going to get get
4:14
her on Facebook and we going to get her
4:15
buy her a new mommy off Facebook and
4:17
they'll come get her. And that's kind of
4:18
how that started. And then we started up
4:22
with the whole litter box thing.
4:24
Automatic litter box. We start to get
4:26
one of those for her.
4:28
And then
4:32
I just started using my social security
4:33
money and stuff to get her toys and
4:35
having fun with it.
4:37
So now
4:40
with me me and CL have a YouTube channel
4:42
now and we have decided with our YouTube
4:44
channel money
4:46
when we get it because we going to get
4:49
that money. We going to get that money
4:52
when we get this YouTube money. We going
4:54
to um
4:56
we going to travel.
4:58
Me, her,
5:02
me, my wife, me, my wife, and her.
5:06
I don't know. But we going to travel.
5:09
And um
5:11
she will always have a home. I'm forever
5:14
home. Even though my daughter will
5:16
probably take her with her when she goes
5:18
and that's okay. Cleo's still my baby.
5:21
But we're going to figure that out
5:22
later. Okay. I didn't think about that.
5:23
But yeah, I don't think my daughter's
5:25
moving out ever. Why would she?
5:30
But yeah, we're a perfect little family.
5:31
I have perfect children.
5:34
I do. Well, they're grown now. My oldest
5:37
son is 29.
5:39
My youngest son is 26.
5:45
He's such a baby. I can't believe he's
5:46
26.
5:48
and our baby girl is
5:51
22.
5:53
So yeah, that's my family. Now you know
5:55
