3:46
you have actual corny that are like they

4:13
tough to find help out there. Yeah people that
4:15
wanna travel and as be all day every day
4:17
you know live in at the carnival yes and
4:20
you're in a different town every week and you
4:22
know you know get much time off. Foods
4:24
is wild yet since a similar kind of
4:26
interest in a similar to comedians will cause
4:28
you go to us town or a city
4:31
for a few days and then you hit
4:33
the road and you go to somewhere else.
4:35
yeah yeah I'm I'd say like that's like

4:43

he said hundreds of years some well off
4:51
since nineteen eighteen my grandfather stuff cited some
4:53
point candy and nineteen eighteen. Last year and
4:55
I was brought him in know that I'm
4:57
really not sure. he came over from Italy
4:59
where he was born in nineteen hundred and
5:01
so he was both for five years old.
5:03
came over on the boats Ellis Island. know
5:05
that and know. I. Was eighteen
5:07
years old and started selling point candy
5:10
like street fairs and little things like
5:12
that. and I'm. Jealous. Is kind
5:14
of how we started and got into it. I
5:16
actually still have some contain him seen that he
5:18
built and made like wooden frame and Light's yellow
5:20
belt driven like all those with the obvious it'll
5:23
work both to the now. They're like austerity metal
5:25
like you know industrial look at. well when you're
5:27
him as narrow pool make some yeah yes I'm
5:29
like that and but I'm that we have. Gotten
5:33
soft and as a when I realized this is
5:35
like one of these you're looking at Yeah so
5:37
we have a couple like that. As
5:39
a older those are kind the like dirt. Those
5:42
kind of seem like residents of ones
5:44
that tunneling by the house. Sir Grandfather
5:46
came over. And.
5:48
He started selling kind to rely on candy
5:51
of he someone cotton candy and then. Like
5:54
what he does gets a job. He stays
5:56
like he just kept doing it and then
5:58
you know he had kids and then my
6:01
father got into it and my father mother
6:03
started their own whole carnival business. Oh they
6:05
started by rides and games and food and
6:07
everything and now you know we had a
6:10
whole carnival called Candy on his amusements in
6:12
a way back before I was born. And
6:15
then when I was born late kind of
6:17
split up. And my dad
6:19
started working for bigger carnivals like the real
6:22
big ones. that did big the big county
6:24
fairs and state fairs and a lotta death
6:26
to started work for a company like that
6:28
and then went for and that of. Market
6:31
for are are not the biggest one in
6:33
New England called Fiesta shows and so he
6:35
worked for them up until he died and
6:37
so he was highlighted in a Big Shot
6:39
All day. He ran like food and games
6:41
and stuff for multi and was a lot
6:43
man so we're and so did you. What
6:45
of was one year for jobs in the
6:47
carnival? Yes yup. And so what's
6:49
it ever seen? A carnival and a fair
6:51
because we had the say or would com
6:54
a lot or yeah so the fair is
6:56
a same then he adds basically it's of
6:58
the fare as they have like the animals
7:00
and everything like that. like you have the
7:02
whole agricultural part of it you know and
7:05
sometimes they'll have like demolition derby that oh
7:07
yeah know that unlike the races in I'm.
7:09
On agricultural I suppose they had. golly yes,
7:12
all that stuff. So that's what kind of
7:14
distinguishes it from a fair to a carnival
7:16
in the kind of and long run in
7:18
like up where we are we have the
7:20
top sealed. Theres been roundly hundred fifty years
7:22
only that skill has a for each element
7:24
said him because that's also a whole development
7:26
And the rides in the game. Yeah that
7:29
sonos you would always like our we'd always
7:31
have to walk over to like.livestock me, sad
7:33
or whatever. like a bomb shelter wherever the
7:35
hell when it hits Higgs in it and
7:37
stuff and you have to go that air
7:39
and. All that pig races ever see those
7:41
yeah navigate kids are like you'd want my
7:43
replace with average of as it's pretty bad
7:46
officer to that goal is as price i'd
7:48

within the carnivals between the carnival
8:07
while like. During. The spring when
8:09

8:12
Would split up into like three different section see
8:14
to do three cities at the same time. But.
8:16
The when we are to the fares we would
8:19
all get together and then the fights would break.
8:21
I'll go yeah like crazy face to what was
8:23
a lot of the beef between of people though

8:38
unique got all the big rides in the nice
8:40
stuff and then the second unit was kind of
8:42
stepped out and and a third viewed it was
8:44

25:30
right here it's General Tom Thumb ah
25:32
Charles Sir Would Stretch was actually a relative
25:34
of Pt Barnum. when Barnum learned of
25:36
threatens dwarfism. He sensed opportunity
25:38
warmth of stress under his wing and
25:41
taught him how to sing, dance, and
25:43
impersonate famous historical figures while. Of
25:46
there was a loves the Boy oh
25:48
years loves to already I saw his
25:50
his appearances Grady Styles real life story.
25:52
Even more shocking Styles Condition was known
25:54
as at throat Deck. To. Lou.
25:58
Acts or Doc Doc to. The
26:00
only got it after that Billie
26:02
which causes hands and feet to
26:04
fuse in the laws of. The
26:08
condition ran and styles family. In fact
26:10
he was the sixth generation his family
26:12
to habits His father was already performing
26:14
in the circus and great he was
26:16
born. So he entered circus life early
26:19
as the lobster boy. Wow that was
26:21
as korea of hands and ass and
26:23
taken a guy. Wow.
26:25
Look At Him. And there's
26:27
a pitcher right there. Bearded lady and lobster boy.
26:29
they fell in love or less. As
26:32
romantic of Valentine's Day love
26:34
story on. While
26:36
with their kids would come on
26:38
Lighthouse? Yeah! The. Why lobsters?
26:40
Yeah, be interesting a meal pie be
26:43
some via use. See it like one
26:45
of those fancy omakase a places or
26:47
whatever you know. Our think
26:49
Benihana would be run and as it's probably not
26:51
either get you a cut of frickin hair loss
26:53
to use Our a might be. who else did
26:55
they have? Let me see a few more of
26:57
on. These. Are all the
26:59
freaks right? Yeah. Lionel the Lion
27:01
Face Man born Stephen Be Brow
27:04
Ski and Eighty Ninety One Poland
27:06
Lionel the lion faced man endured
27:08
a medical condition known as hyper
27:10
try co sis which is commonly
27:12
associated with werewolf syndrome for obvious
27:15
reasons and an odd twist of
27:17
fate. His mother was convinced the
27:19
condition was caused by her witnessing
27:21
his father being mauled by a
27:23
lie and when she was pregnant.
27:27
Still, that was a coincidence,
27:29
albeit crazy coincidence. While. I.
27:32
Would hurt him on able to handle his appearance
27:34
any longer. She put him up for adoption when
27:36
he was four years old. all. He
27:39
was adopted by German entertainer who put him
27:41
on of the circus. Heard him say be
27:43
made away from self With that we need
27:45
freak shows as true highway. These freaks can
27:48
make a living year they don't have and
27:50
and they had. I remember it was a
27:52
thing they had a dime. I.
27:55
Wanna think to the almost had one and it
27:57
sets. A dime. Museum can you
27:59
looked at. I
28:01
thought you were time or something that pays
28:03
a dime. Die Museum and Fritos from the
28:06
popular Coney Island amusement Park in York City.
28:08
Traveling Circus is inside says exhibits that. Featured.
28:11
People with physical differences with some sort
28:13
of the most prevalent attractions in the
28:15
nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. While die
28:17
museums often featured humans who were considered
28:19
different for the public to view and
28:21
experience, yet because I think they had
28:23
some places we could pay a dime
28:25
I guess is the name I'm assuming.
28:28
From eighteen forty until nineteen forty, freak shows
28:30
were at their height. His story is typically
28:32
marked eighteen forties the beginning of a freak
28:34
show era. The museum
28:36
contain many exhibits of historic artifacts and
28:39
gas. Oh, that was the year Pt
28:41
Barnum began the American Museum, a New
28:43
York City attraction that cost a dime.
28:45
To answer is the museum us as
28:48
many people who are considered to be
28:50
rarities worthy of exhibition. Wow see you
28:52
have. Other people included Tom Tom there
28:54

28:57

Dji trailer they would buy like. The
40:05

41:39
get a volume Royce, the mag up for
41:41
an under the counter and what were some
41:43
of the other rides mans remember the guy

41:48
the Apollo. sometimes it was to. Ah
41:51

41:53
of. I would go upside down see us close
41:55
then and they yes was like this. they were
41:58
opposite. They would swing opposite of each other. Then
42:00
I did go upside down and sometimes they would
42:02
hold you up there yeah and whole you are
42:04
you're upside down and you could shake it in
42:06
like sig everybody's money out of their pockets. oh
42:08

42:10
this was her the big kids I don't think
42:12
I went on this had the top yeah I
42:14
used to run that sometimes so I was really
42:16
easy to turn on set up and sometimes I
42:18
would run it and you're in the doghouse and
42:20
you know is just like times the remote control
42:22
a good with a joystick to get to go
42:24
in Iraq back and forth and to get enough
42:26
energy to get it up and around and you
42:29
can hold it up there. And in
42:31
hold it you just take it a little bit and wiggle
42:33
it so it go back and forth. Little bit is not
42:35
seek in the money out of their pockets. it all falls
42:37
down on the ones I'm there. was a bad seed, bad
42:39
seem to the obvious was the way to the end of
42:41
the ride. To. Go pick up
42:44
the money will! A kid who ran it all
42:46
the time was trying to be a dare devil
42:48
and he ran through to get the money while
42:50
was on mile ride with still him. Mouses.
42:53
Up Top and then Up Dead hit.
42:55
Oh yeah. It's. Pretty wild
42:57
how lives he lives. He did live well
42:59
that was a mess. I wasn't there that
43:01
at that. Carnival Affair when it
43:03
happened when I was of the next one's
43:06
and you lose a limb they produce is
43:08
right over in a free surveilled. I go
43:10
right to free sites and policy Riley's Oil
43:12
Sabrina game after that so you know to
43:14
do were to a one arm. yeah we're
43:16
in a wheelchair. Wow. So. So.
43:18
A guy got damaged up pretty good. Yeah got
43:21
hit pretty good to him. Pretty
43:23
crazy. Is that when the War Saxons
43:25
you've ever seen? author? That
43:27
was probably the worst.
43:29
Yes, We. Were on
43:31
and that's guy doesn't have one time and
43:33
little you know how the other saw the
43:35
bars or come down ahead let go long
43:37
ago it was in there but dictate your
43:39
changed in still too but she was flop
43:41
and around while was going around like them.
43:43
while she was upside down the sold the
43:45
boss came up and she fell into the
43:47
carton light skinned just bang bang drama was
43:50
spinning around and how and how long as
43:52
somebody's not doing well on a ride can
43:54
you. Shut It down forms does it
43:56
take a few seconds and I will take the
43:58
sometimes I have some take longer than. The to
44:00
slow down and come to a stop. Yeah.
44:03
I'm. In. There. Was one of the
44:05
freak out. I don't know if you've heard of the freak out.
44:08
As a freak out the as a pretty
44:10
dope right now. Now that's my favorite ride
44:12
I'd really at all I'm I'm is kind
44:14
of. I got an arm and it's got
44:16
these are the arms had come down. And.
44:19
Know Spain while it goes back and forth
44:21
and you get an awesome sense of weightlessness,
44:23
almost like does. Like
44:25
a roller coaster. I'd say like nut first drop
44:27
their it is. Who.
44:30
Has pretty cool looking. Yeah,
44:33
they didn't have the free gas. Oh
44:35
so that so that goes by a
44:38
pendulum and spends and spends. Yeah yeah.
44:41
And. Stood I remember
44:43
yeah we would get on s wings
44:45
one on was like a swing set
44:48
you to spaced out yeah and wenger
44:50
yeah and it would just a nudist
44:52
people would just the you would just
44:55
be will be vomiting like every will
44:57
be like standing watching. He was an
44:59
early come round. And. Just glass
45:01
eye out as though some up with that
45:03
bargain with that Thomas De Maiziere Ahmed yeah
45:05
was up. A lot of you got some
45:07
of those right thing and a lot of
45:09
users. We had one. I don't even remember
45:11
the name of their official name of the
45:13
ride but we called it the Pew Barrel
45:15
is what it's on. Seconded guys are many
45:17
consider other yet I was the name of
45:19
it up your bowels. This was like okay
45:21
I don't even know the official name and
45:23
if what what right cause the most vomit
45:25
you think the poop out really probably it
45:27
was that just looks like one of those
45:29
metal fifty five gallon drums. An old metal
45:32
like garbage can but barrels but was huge.
45:34
okay yeah it out and so's massive and
45:36
say was on its side and you go
45:38
when it had a sliding door and you
45:40
go when and and there were two seats.
45:43
That people could sit in circles seats and
45:45
those one like this while the floor rocked
45:48
back and forth like this and outside bowels
45:50
been like this with strobe lights go on
45:52
on of in what I am a horse
45:54
who's not going to puke Yes was pretty
45:57
well. As good stuff. So
46:00
we actually own one of those genealogy my mom and
46:02
dad owned a couple of I'm actually would have been
46:04
so they split up when I was like a year
46:06
old. so they ended up. I was too
46:08
young to kind of. Hub of the
46:10
business. So. My mom sold most of
46:12
the rides my time I was. being
46:15
a teenager. So besides some stuff city rights
46:17
and some for we'd gotten rid of of,
46:19
she'd gotten rid of all of major rise
46:21
that she had had yeah brevity up years
46:23
in cells. And
46:27
a what do you do when somethin What is
46:29
this? What is this here are that's looks like
46:31
the. Would. Rather thousand and one
46:33
nights on Not so what does versions called
46:36
What? That's what it was. Okay, yeah. It.
46:38
Looks like the whole thing is shaking so people
46:40
are going and jumping on the side like hobby.
46:43
I held it. yeah. Yeah,
46:46
oh yes, a carnival ride and Traverse
46:48
City, Michigan suddenly malfunctions. would you do
46:50
when this kind of thing happens? Will
46:53
ya do send it to after? But
46:55
how do you. I. Mean
46:57
people are scientists say the same from Fallen Over yeah
46:59
there are trying to get some weight on it. Is
47:02
that a realistic approach you think that? say
47:05
from solid. I mean I could be. Off.
47:09
Because. That was one of
47:11
the things you at the corner where you always
47:13
felt like. Nobody
47:15
had your back in a way
47:17
which is something exciting about it.
47:21
And deathly Alarming. Like isn't a
47:23
new cells I give you He
47:25
died. They wouldn't tell your parents.
47:27
The. I could and in we probably married
47:30
somebody. So bag cameo in a haunted
47:32
house. Probably some of those bodies in
47:34
there, probably kids at Disney Animated own
47:36
success and. Yells
47:38
at me. Also you though the carnival rides
47:40
or are as a lot safer than probably
47:43
music parts amusement parks? Really? yeah because they
47:45
get inspected every week so you get and
47:47
state inspectors every single week. Every time you
47:49
set up they have to come in and
47:51
legs and not you know. Give it a
47:53
go ahead so what's the worse? As if
47:55
you've ever seen out there. So.
47:58
That was. I mean, I didn't see. Could get hit
48:00
by the Sky master but that was probably
48:03
the worst although it one fair that I
48:05
was at a top sill fair I see
48:07
get the name of the ride but somebody
48:09
did come flying out of it but they
48:12
didn't die or I was. I can remember
48:14
the right. But.
48:16
They always say that he would die but
48:19
you never see us evil anymore. Yeah, That's
48:22
true, In. Our like the like
48:24
yeah it's yet Janet didn't die as I
48:26
go with him. Why isn't yeah it will
48:28
receive Here are some: Went to Florida she
48:31
retired yep he will yes he retired she's
48:33
a less This a specific issue if Apple
48:35
at it see said that's that's the thing
48:37
I think sometimes about that kind of stuff.
48:39
That seems like a little bit tricky. Man
48:42
we were like I was saying they i'm
48:44
like I did they are they do inspect
48:46
him a lot more than like yep be
48:48
a regular music parks I'm amused that a
48:50
just set up be around illegally wanted to
48:53
inspections. Yeah oh yeah and so but the

54:03
kicked me in the back and thank god he did.
54:06
Years. I was just like part of
54:08
the sir I was just completing the
54:10
circuit I was is probably powering a
54:12
fucking liar alternate on the line. sorry
54:14
on yes never had ever under a
54:16
data was unhealthy for me. Yes you
54:18
know because I was conducting electricity and
54:20
ah I'm thank god but yeah I
54:22
just remember be it was very. Very
54:25
it seemed like ah there were some
54:27
safety issues or would say I have
54:29
some will use the ivory. I've devlin
54:32
run into a few live rides before
54:34
the As procedure. I would that happen?
54:36
Yeah, what's happening? Me: Okay, yeah. So.
54:38
That's a real thing. Yeah, Because
54:41
I know my whole life was like I
54:43
know this happened Amazing. What how
54:45
does that happen to the so much wire and
54:47
going on in those things like all the lights
54:49
and everywhere and back then to is you know
54:52
now with L E D's they don't take his
54:54
once were back then that was really hot lights
54:56
and they took a lot more power and so
54:58
yeah big occurrence for hims ruined something to just
55:01
get caught what pin somewhere along the line and
55:03
next thing you know you're making that live. Sam.
55:06
God. Yeah that
55:08
thing really caught me up to speed
55:10
Boy a puck an Aids promised eight
55:13
months and I went home almost as
55:15
I god you seem different soon as
55:17
a mass the our group must as
55:19
soon as if err on the season
55:21
and cities around here as effects are
55:24
audience when I remember that he was
55:26
over and he had arrived just the
55:28
get and set up in the distance
55:30
and we come in they that. They'd.
55:33
Have somebody standing over there and fifty cents. he
55:36
could get over there and get sued, couple tickets
55:38
and go down on business and know the other
55:40
his people in know because if there was an
55:42
open yes but we knew this to be live
55:44
right there in so we'd all walker that air.
55:47
That's cool we aren't We never do anything like
55:49
that is pretty cool. Mance would have also something
55:51
in the some of the games via the games
55:53
the games are fun. Must give it up really
55:56
interesting. create a boost. he has a game. yeah
55:58
we are again booze. We own some. My
56:00
my brother still has. At. At
56:02
think he still has one or two. You
56:04
know, the definitely not as profitable as I
56:06
used to be. yes I'm but yeah, used
56:08
have all kinds of games. I mean. A
56:11
lot of them are legal now. You. Know maybe
56:13
I should drilling yeah maybe I should join
56:15
some like says something someone to spill secrets
56:17
like them the magician telling the secrets of
56:19
the about the games is that in one
56:21
of with some on non does get I
56:23
know who I am now and a luxury
56:25
swell I've yet because I know that was
56:27
videos that cannot years ago about like exposing
56:29
all the games without really I didn't like
56:31
that sits I knew. That.
56:35
You pretty much work and a we're not
56:37
there some that you are not going away
56:39
unless they want you to win. Ah, See.
56:42
If they gotta. if you, if they get enough
56:44
money are you. And they got a good tip
56:46
going as a big crowd of you're in a
56:48
wheelchair or some probably year maybe as doll depends
56:50
on how much money spent. and
56:52
then like if they got a nice crowd and they
56:54
want to keep deaths and a lot of like of
56:56
the crowd is really light a been there a while.
56:59
And. They really want to see that dude when
57:01
and he spent enough money and you know
57:03
you could get now you get rid have
57:05
that dude, wins everybody and stop playing. yeah
57:07
you know. Ah so the part of it
57:09
is some strategy get lost as exactly what
57:12
was one of the games that was the
57:14
toughest game, the when probably the toughest. So
57:16
when like. Legitimately.
57:19
Will. So those some that just can't be one
57:21
okay of the okay so take me like
57:23
what is one of them. So like the
57:25
cover, the red spot. You. Guys have
57:28
a have that one cove the Red
57:30
Sox I would be our good real
57:32
grab a big red circle good you
57:35
get like little desk this yet could
57:37
not be one legally. ah they would
57:39
be one. That could be one
57:41
on that. The guy would show you how to do
57:43
it. On to down can be one of us and
57:45
he would always use that one and I worked at
57:47
game before so I know how it's done. And
57:51
then you have all the other ones,
57:53
the circles and to slightly too big
57:55
to be completely covered. Oh set of
57:57
a circle. The Up: There is
57:59
ah com. The Spot. Okay,
58:02
so you see how that once
58:04
covered all down there with the
58:06
five. this is completely covered. so
58:08
sometimes those red circles i just
58:10
slightly too big, where it's mathematically
58:12
impossible to cover and all. Do
58:16
the saddest part. I just remember this some
58:18
my brother use that the older brother you
58:20
know and like he like was Hannah win
58:22
a game and new in and much money
58:24
you know? so like he kept trying to
58:26
win and like. And he knew
58:28
he exits. Hard to be a little bit thing.
58:30
I gotta win this are better watch me you
58:32
know And he fucking dead and when I could
58:34
feel it does break as fuck And are all
58:37
men I've seen. Todd as owner. yards
58:39

58:41

58:43
the whole mortgage, lost a car. Like a
58:45
lot of everything. as illustrated. A kid in
58:48

58:50

1:01:56
as a stuffed banana with red. Last why
1:01:58
I got the dreaded one. Do
1:02:00
be apple ahem brow as I agree
1:02:02
I in his yeah least guess it's
1:02:04
read is that added. While
1:02:07
yeah it's that was crazy though. Games are
1:02:09
legal now though up there was as you're
1:02:11
expecting the kids when a few things that
1:02:13
the kids have a good time said grub
1:02:15
home. I just didn't her. It just didn't
1:02:17
hurt that Weights Group Homes has. he attended
1:02:19
a Man's Has a carnival run by New
1:02:21
Hampshire based Fiesta. So many of them as
1:02:24
as it is had. So we worked last
1:02:26
and wanted to win an X Box connect
1:02:28
at a game called Tubs of Fossil. Yeah
1:02:30
I'll tell you about that one where contest
1:02:32
as toss balls and what's her off ain't
1:02:34
happening. It is. It's what is it. So
1:02:36
the bustle basket. That's what it is. The tub,
1:02:38
the fund so they take those member those old
1:02:40
apple bustle baskets oh yes I remember that be
1:02:43
up on the side yeah like at an angle
1:02:45
com yeah the dangle kind and get tossed a
1:02:47
softball in their yes yes. There.
1:02:49
It is. Or this Not get
1:02:51
it right here. Yeah.
1:02:58
Yeah, so there's a split a trip to it. You
1:03:00
see how he's doing it. You gotta give it a
1:03:02
spin and it's gotta hit right on the edge. I
1:03:04
say soda like it'll. Kind of like
1:03:06
uses momentum stay in this and they use in
1:03:09
plastic ones to the i don't know I go
1:03:11
to the bush about did he find a bushel
1:03:13
basket into might be generous Hard when we're talking
1:03:15
about the it's the same game but the bush
1:03:17
Those who made a that would in ones like
1:03:20
the original apple whistle baskets yes to take me
1:03:22
through is so would the problems with only but
1:03:24
they weren't like an angle right that same same
1:03:26
same thing is that with the plastic ones acceptable
1:03:28
would an arm and they just won't stay in
1:03:31
the of the softball so light and bouncy. and
1:03:33
the back of those basket said just so bouncy
1:03:35
as well. That they would
1:03:37
just bounce out. You can't get the ball
1:03:39
to say yeah, it's it's. really. I
1:03:42
mean if you know it's rec and you'd like
1:03:44
they were doing of beauty get the right back
1:03:46
spin on it and hit it right at the
1:03:48
edge. You to get it to stay in the
1:03:50
about how they get people so easily his bills.
1:03:52
The guy sitting in it's in the booth can
1:03:54
easily tossed the ball in there and from his
1:03:56
angle it'll easily go in there and stay in
1:03:59
there and then you. The other ball to them
1:04:01
the guy in be like look at how easy it
1:04:03
is not throw the ball in their give a freeze
1:04:05
his a free sites see how easy it is and
1:04:07
then they throw it in there because that ah the
1:04:09
balls already in the baskets it'll dead in. That second
1:04:11
ball and that second ball stay in. So.
1:04:13
Now people like, oh my God that was so easy.

1:05:25
box in that box. Yes If. It's
1:05:27
oh so. you're saying that if they have the
1:05:29
prizes some of the price on even in the
1:05:31
bottom know while oh yeah because they know nobody
1:05:33
can win it's a why you name it of
1:05:35
what a real pry they just put place they
1:05:37
supporters that x boxes. I mean. Studios.
1:05:41
Exonerate atoms are probably find the yoyo that
1:05:43
sorry about that. What's
1:05:47

jealous or like that and I'll hazard
1:05:53
sisters. So funny this. Yes,
1:05:55
I was a crazy video. I can't believe they're doing
1:05:58
the drugs searches like that. but yeah, oh. But
1:06:00
sometimes we would win something and they would
1:06:02
be a felt elvis or a felt picture
1:06:04
of a something. arm of those felt pitchers
1:06:06

1:06:31
yeah to they don't always have liked to
1:06:33
the opposite of a.behind that as you have
1:06:35
arm. They'd have
1:06:37
different arm circles under there and it's a
1:06:39
small medium large like would size prize you
1:06:41
win and you know they would never have
1:06:43
an extra large of under their what they
1:06:45

star and of a touch. Any part of the dark
1:07:15
was touch and the black just a little bit you

Ah, I'm. We. Had some characters minimum
1:16:39
of the guy at work, the yard may go
1:16:41
guy that worked at the diner the sausage stand
1:16:44
when i was a kid it me this when
1:16:46
smoking was so loud it i'm a big old
1:16:48
cigars mouth italian dude. Set.
1:16:50
Up what would you fight against why not
1:16:52
What I'm about as I could ask a
1:16:54
fallen into the pilot onions and peppers I
1:16:56
dad bagels the guy just always hanging over
1:16:58
his mouth while his work and the grills
1:17:00
those are the best against oh you will
1:17:02
like of get riled up until you get
1:17:04
the ass in there in the man was
1:17:06
at ass free burn went gotta be careful
1:17:08
on the first day of the carnival though
1:17:10
maybe sometimes of they bought like some sometimes
1:17:12
they bring the leftovers from the last carnival
1:17:14
the really sell it the oh yes. As
1:17:18
a good point, right? Yeah, so because the
1:17:20
Carnival. Lands on a Sunday be up and then
1:17:22
he starts that on Thursday. Dumb.
1:17:24
Sometimes a Wednesday, sometimes you
1:17:26
do overnighters. Where. You would tear
1:17:28
down Sunday night. Set. Up Sunday
1:17:31
night and then open Monday. Yeah, like turn out
1:17:33
so they'd closer little early. like five or six
1:17:35
o'clock on a Sunday night. Know you've got to
1:17:37
tear down side to the next location, start setting
1:17:40
up and then open up that night. So
1:17:42
what other periphery people the I'll use use
1:17:44
as hire other local. He said there were
1:17:46
like forty mile or like dogs are with
1:17:48
some only as zero I mean they're always
1:17:50
looking for help I mean it was kind
1:17:52
of set up back then you had like
1:17:54
the main carnival owner that own like the
1:17:56
like Cps the shows he owns all the
1:17:58
rides mostly. And. Sometimes.
1:18:01
Some of the games and food but you
1:18:03
would have other families that own like you
1:18:05
know they had a whole grip of you
1:18:07
know james or whole bunch of food stands
1:18:09
and you would and. With. The games.
1:18:12
It was a lot of families that old a
1:18:14
bunch of different games and they would join up
1:18:16
with the carnival and you would tour with that
1:18:18
carnival for the year. Okay so as a lot
1:18:21
of like smaller family businesses would join up under
1:18:23
the larger umbrella of the honorable we have ah
1:18:25
say. So there was a lot of that. And
1:18:28
so a lot of that's gone by the
1:18:30
wayside now. lights. They stop buying up by

not really. I mean now. They
1:32:51
have a lot of Vom Mexicans and
1:32:53
South Africans. Oh really yeah that's pretty
1:32:55
much was one of the ride so
1:32:57
why would say like how of thing
1:32:59
says yes since the past and now
1:33:01
well. It was hard find
1:33:03
and I think really good rides help so
1:33:06
they I don't know why it was Mexico
1:33:08
and South South Africa. I don't know why
1:33:10
those two countries have picked but apparently it
1:33:12
sold to him that you're going to go
1:33:14
on a work and make a scene. You
1:33:16
get to see the United States and were
1:33:18
can make money while you're at it in
1:33:20
which is all bullshit is. using.
1:33:22
The Carnival. And you're at that
1:33:24
carnivals. It doesn't look any different. Wherever you
1:33:27
go, you just as the same lot. So.
1:33:29
You know you're not seen anything different. Would
1:33:31
you ever get some free time? I did. Yeah, Because
1:33:34
you were a kid, I was a kid and
1:33:36
might your parents were. Donated make
1:33:38
money they weren't. Made. And and we
1:33:40
will pour. Yeah. Laughs was not
1:33:43
a big moneymaker now and my parents were
1:33:45
divorced so like they were split. no money.
1:33:47
No. I don't know or like when
1:33:50
you're had to homestead going it's it's site. yeah
1:33:52
but I didn't see my dad much. Growing.
1:33:54
Up. By. I really like yeah until
1:33:56

1:34:08
much until I will miss had economy at the
1:34:10
carnival a c and yeah yeah. Man
1:34:13

1:34:15
kind of interesting it is. Yeah, I mean bummer. My.
1:34:18
Dad was the hard ass to some. guess. I'm glad
1:34:20
that it's my from what my brother said. oh yeah.
1:34:22
He was great when I was and games and what? man.

1:36:31
would you had a good we gain or a
1:36:33

I. Had pride in having a really like
1:37:20
to clean a stands and put know quality food.
1:37:22
You know you'd be like a families running like
1:37:24
Ed as her family own like we do the
1:37:27
games are we do the rally the we do
1:37:29
the food and right of the right games as
1:37:31
a V some organization or that. yeah they would
1:37:33
be multiple families they would be like you know
1:37:35
sometimes ten twelve different families out there. yeah all
1:37:38
own and I mean sometimes you would have one
1:37:40
guy that just don't is one game and he
1:37:42
would travel everywhere with you. get with you is
1:37:44
if one in his one game nobody owns. Was
1:37:48
there another world of Carney where it was like
1:37:50
somebody owned all of it and they were just
1:37:53
hire all the people. He has become
1:37:55
an that know. How. It is. Yeah, It's
1:37:57
definitely is. What Is it?
1:38:00
Like about that. What is it that makes you
1:38:02
will go to a carnival you think are good
1:38:04
with fair? Like what is it. Sounds.
1:38:07
They. Want to go on rides here? And
1:38:10
want have some fun than one escape. We need
1:38:12
more stay busy these days. Yeah it was
1:38:14
fine. classroom memory was five yeah that was
1:38:16
a thing like it was crazy and stuff
1:38:18
and we have some crazy stories but we
1:38:20
always wanted to make sure like we had
1:38:22
wanted to provide a good time for the
1:38:24
people to our yeah I did the rides
1:38:26
definitely you know our I mean the games
1:38:28
are hustle and some age instead take it
1:38:30
too far in I agree like those people
1:38:32
that were get robbed of their life savings
1:38:34
like to take into too far less saddam.
1:38:37
For. The most part likes you do want to
1:38:39
be, would have a good time and come back
1:38:41
the next day and bring more people and any
1:38:43
animals ever get loose out there when you go.
1:38:45
Man of one time we let it sickened guess
1:38:47
we we stole a chicken or roost and we
1:38:49
put it up in the doghouse of the music
1:38:52
fest zone. The next day they came to work.
1:38:54
there was a mild booster up in the up
1:38:56
in the doghouse in the doghouse as the control
1:38:58
room. we run the right. Ah nice. And the
1:39:00
music fest is the one where like they go
1:39:02
around it's like they're you're in a car that
1:39:04
kind of swings that it goes around exists big
1:39:07
that. Dot. Not a track but it's counters
1:39:09
on an arm so they kind of the
1:39:11
car swing and they swing around and they're
1:39:13
playing like crazy. Music aware yeah I remember
1:39:16
now and then said you guys ready to
1:39:18
go backwards Yeah, let's go backwards. This time
1:39:20
there it is music fast. He adds a.
1:39:23
God. as her eyes are such a big
1:39:26
thing or have we put we put a
1:39:28
chicken in the doghouse one time for the
1:39:30
houses are I guess it when the showed
1:39:32
up to access a yacht. yeah because I'm
1:39:34
or without a lady just brought a box
1:39:36
a cats and fuckin does does that bits
1:39:38
out at the fair. That's. A good
1:39:40
place to get rid of them. Yeah I think that
1:39:42
was like some of the Va that was decide pupil
1:39:45
the had extra animals or whatever and are like we're
1:39:47
gonna bring him up here because the new people be
1:39:49
appear. And. and
1:39:51
they want a cat they got it or whatever
1:39:53
but yeah there was always some weird shit like
1:39:56
that going on any love stories over the years
1:39:58
you see where carnies met each other Yeah,
1:40:00
I met, I mean, back
1:40:02
in the day, that's the only place I really met.
1:40:05
I mean, my friend April, who I
1:40:07
was with for almost 10 years
1:40:09
or something, we were 16, 17 when we hooked
1:40:13
up. You all met at a carnival?
1:40:15
Yeah, she worked for somebody and I was working out
1:40:17
there and she worked for a friend of mine, another
1:40:19
family. Let me dart that balloon, huh? She
1:40:21
was actually pregnant when we hooked up already too. Really?
1:40:24
Yeah. Wow, that seems illegal.
1:40:26
Yeah, it's definitely, I mean... That's crazy in the
1:40:28
eye of the god, but I don't know. We're
1:40:30
still friends, that I still, I mean, Rayquan, her
1:40:32
son works for me now. Yeah, really? Yeah, her
1:40:34
son works for me. Really? Yeah.
1:40:37
So wow, that's love, man. Yeah, well, that's the thing. We're
1:40:39
still best friends, you know? Oh, really? Yeah,
1:40:42
we're not together, obviously, but yeah, we're best friends still and... Damn.
1:40:46
So, yeah, we had some... Love can
1:40:48
happen out there, huh? I think my nephew met his wife
1:40:50
out there. He just got married a year or two ago.
1:40:53
He met her out there. Yeah. She
1:40:55
was South African. I think she came over from
1:40:57
that whole... When
1:40:59
they brought all... Because they keep bringing more South Africans
1:41:01
over every year. Why? Just for
1:41:04
that work and vacation they sell them. People think
1:41:06
that they're going to come to America and make a lot of
1:41:08
money and travel and see the country. But are they bummed out
1:41:10
when they get here or no? Most of them are. They
1:41:12
are? They're already here. They're already here. Some of
1:41:15
them pay to go back home. Like, you've got to like...
1:41:18
But some of them love it and some of them end up rising
1:41:20
up and getting positions of power too. Yeah.
1:41:23
So, it goes both ways. Some of them hated it. Some
1:41:26
of them didn't mind it and some of them loved it. Oh,
1:41:28
yeah. Mexicans, I don't know because they
1:41:31
all spoke Mexican. I couldn't figure it out if they liked it or not.
1:41:34
Yeah, I think Mexican people adjust
1:41:36
pretty well. Yeah. They
1:41:38
just adjust well to most things, you know?
1:41:40
I would like to be Mexican. That would
1:41:42
be fun. Oh, yeah. I
1:41:44
think I would be... I don't know if I
1:41:46
would be good at it, but I would be... I know
1:41:48
I would try my best, but I don't know. I don't
1:41:51
know. I don't know. Yeah. Well,
1:41:53
my girlfriend's half Mexican. Really? Yeah.
1:41:56
Yeah. Does that part of her seem
1:41:58
good? I love it. Yeah. Yeah, I would just
1:42:00
we'll see what happens, but I anyway that's like a bigger
1:42:03
conversation But what about like gypsies? Did
1:42:05
y'all ever run across those types of oh yeah? We
1:42:07
had some just talking about Yeah,
1:42:09
man. We had some that did like
1:42:11
the psychic readings and stuff like that.
1:42:13
Yeah Yeah, there's a lot of motions.
1:42:15
Yeah, we didn't see him much really
1:42:17
they were gypsies So they were yeah,
1:42:19
they were travelers like cuz normally like
1:42:21
if you wanted to do the big
1:42:23
fares You would have to like as a
1:42:25
like if you were a gypsy that just wanted to come in and do it
1:42:28
Like an ass family or different families that were out
1:42:30
there They would make you do the spring season with
1:42:32
them And you had to do all the shit spots
1:42:34
if you wanted to get the good spots. You know
1:42:36
what I mean? Oh, yeah, it's just like comedy. Yeah,
1:42:39
so but I don't know how the gypsies got away with
1:42:41
it Maybe just cuz like what do you mean?
1:42:43
He got away with it? They would do what they wouldn't have to do
1:42:45
the shit spots sometimes you would just see
1:42:47
a gypsy like a psychic reader or somebody that did
1:42:49
like the palm reading or the Cards
1:42:52
and you would only see him at like some
1:42:54
of some of the big fares They wouldn't have
1:42:56
to do like all the shit. Oh, they didn't
1:42:58
have to play the smaller ones in this. Yeah,
1:43:00
once you didn't love Yeah, they were funny man,
1:43:02
and you'd walk by like cuz I never went
1:43:04
into him but she would always like come on
1:43:06
in I don't know and it they're
1:43:08
so Perceptive because they would
1:43:10
try to get you to think that they
1:43:12
were being psychic or they knew something But
1:43:14
they're just watching what's going on out in
1:43:16
the carnival and they're like, oh, there's gonna
1:43:18

1:43:22
me last night hanging out with her, right?

1:43:31
I mean he might not admit it, but I
1:43:33
think he is but I don't know if he
1:43:35
is But he is he
1:43:38

ease on. The
1:45:14
it means bus and at
1:45:16
our mad at sick. So
1:45:19
how do you set the carnival down and move
1:45:21
it to the next place? What's that like? What's
1:45:24
the breakdown like in Sienna? When.
1:45:26
You close in age away for the big gondola will to
1:45:28
close down. that's how you know your closed. What is the
1:45:30
big gondola with big ferris wheel? the diverse will you a
1:45:32
for the lights to go off of that brings you closer
1:45:34
when you know it's side of the clothes and he closed
1:45:36
down. And not depending on what
1:45:39
you ran. On games are
1:45:41
really easy to tear down. You
1:45:43
know, The. Hardest thing was put on the hits
1:45:45
after they took a game away to the Hedge has
1:45:48
come off them. simple. The trailer that portrayal of i
1:45:50
gotta take those Aussie to put all the games but
1:45:52
I'm up to each other. Make the midway way I'm
1:45:54
We use a make the me where would he me
1:45:56
and you put on one into the truck when you
1:45:58
put you know when you go. Into the middle
1:46:00
the midway is like oh where are the games
1:46:02
in the food are drawl able to but up
1:46:05
against each other flat because you take the heads
1:46:07
off with that. That goes on to the that
1:46:09
you hook the fuck up to be back to
1:46:11
fuck up to the hell yes and so that
1:46:13
comes off and that's probably the hardest part for
1:46:15
like turn down a game aka is taken that
1:46:18
on him and how ya travel on the how
1:46:20
does it I'll move out so it's up to
1:46:22
his family. They usually have trucks that put that
1:46:24
pull their stuff and somebody that works for and
1:46:26
usually will be a driver to. They might have
1:46:28
a couple drivers I'm or. You might hire a
1:46:31
trucking company to come in employer stuff arm those
1:46:33
the carnival that like the carnival itself day own
1:46:35
big trucks that pull their stuff and they also
1:46:37
hire people out to depending on how fast you
1:46:40
gotta get the stuff over the road, how far
1:46:42
it is, if you could make multiple trips or
1:46:44
not to. sometimes if you're only going in or
1:46:46
fifty sixty miles you make multiple trips but if

1:48:22
itself In the trailer just unfolds like of. New.
1:48:25
Ago Transformers: how hard is debris dunno carnival
1:48:27
take all day or they get it done
1:48:29
a matter of and depends. I mean you
1:48:32
did movie get it done fairly fast you
1:48:34
know sometimes. You can be to
1:48:36
have. Everything done in like a
1:48:38
good six hours or so. Loud
1:48:41
music in I do. They travel at
1:48:43
night easier wheels it up and yeah
1:48:45
yeah because usually close Sunday nights and
1:48:47
so you're done and depending on how
1:48:49
late you clothes sometimes of close early.
1:48:54
Some. Sunday so they do the yard the bracelet.
1:48:56
Sweet by bracelet you can ride on the rise
1:48:58
all day nice and so when they do that
1:49:00
if you're make money stay open lane it doesn't
1:49:02
want to in want to close on people is
1:49:04
what we call it. Oh yes as evil. So
1:49:06
there. Once. Was one
1:49:08
of the game we supply or you like put
1:49:11
the slide the money and it was the A
1:49:13
you pay get this thing of coins the all
1:49:15
yeah in a would put all the splashdown is
1:49:17
one of the woods. Recall that year would move
1:49:19
the coins failed and sometimes you would push a
1:49:22
little like at the an actual quarter would be
1:49:24
on top of a push a quarter offer a
1:49:26
domino's quarters and ours are you to be at
1:49:28
was there was some times depending on the state
1:49:30
sometimes yeah these coins sometimes scores and mean you
1:49:33
can use quarters. Yes and so but
1:49:35
those are a hustle to are they? yeah
1:49:37
Cause there's a couple different ways they hustled
1:49:39
that sometimes they would be are something. Under.
1:49:42
The quarters of the coin says like this triangle
1:49:45
right at the front lip so when they're pushing
1:49:47
a was side was enough he wants to on
1:49:49
the sides as a smash stance on the size.
1:49:51
Did you notice before that as an out of
1:49:54
bounds. So. The coins can put out
1:49:56
into the out amounts so you would put
1:49:58
a lot of weight and the. Middle.
1:50:01
So. Instead of pushing forward it
1:50:03
would push to the sides. yet because they could fall
1:50:05
of two. The saga is it fell off the middle.
1:50:08
You got You got it right. But of the full
1:50:10
sized house gets it's ah yeah that would arise air
1:50:12
and so the more weight you put in the front.
1:50:15
The more gonna push to the sides. Sometimes.
1:50:20
People do that. Sit down, Not oh
1:50:22
