MOM
AGE: Early 40s.
But don't expect any slang out of her! She's just here to give us

He may try to play it off now, but you can bet that back in the day,
while sportin' his Zoot Suit, he spoke plenty. |
UNCLE GREG
AGE: About 33.
Closest to my own age, so these are the ones that I'll know best!

YUSUF

Like I said before, it changes like the stock market so we might not
be able to keep up, but we'll give it a shot. |
