And you know, we like to talk 174 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 3: about social media a lot and the algorithms and how 175 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 3: they have purposefully taken up so much of our attention. 176 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 3: They've taken us away from our own ability to make choices. 177 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 2: I hate that. 178 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:25,920 Speaker 7: Are you daring to suggest that there might be some 179 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,680 Speaker 7: harmful aspects of CHAT, GPT and AI? 180 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:29,320 Speaker 2: How dare you? 181 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 3: I'm going to go out on a limb and not 182 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 3: just dare I'm going to tell the truth about chat? 183 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,679 Speaker 2: Sheipt that bold. I know watch app. 184 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand. 185 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 3: That evacuation order for the Palisades burn fire area is 186 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,960 Speaker 3: in effect now started at eight pm. LAPD said in 187 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:48,880 Speaker 3: a press conference a couple hours ago that they notified 188 00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 3: one hundred and twenty six people who live in that 189 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 3: area that they should get their things and get out, 190 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:57,560 Speaker 3: of course, ahead of the next round of showers. Really 191 00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 3: going to pick up tonight after one am and off 192 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:03,560 Speaker 3: and on rain throughout the early morning hours, all the 193 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 3: way into the early part of the afternoon, have a 194 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:09,600 Speaker 3: little bit of a break, and then more storms rather 195 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,880 Speaker 3: in the afternoon, a late afternoon, and then probably out 196 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:14,679 Speaker 3: of the woods by the time it gets to ten pm. 197 00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:17,120 Speaker 3: But the concern, of course in those burnscar areas is 198 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 3: that with all of the vegetation that burned. There's not 199 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 3: a lot holding that mud on the side of those hills, 200 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 3: and so when you get a lot of rain, that 201 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:30,680 Speaker 3: water's got to go somewhere, and unfortunately sometimes that means 202 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 3: down into people's yards, down onto the streets. Already saw 203 00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:36,959 Speaker 3: some flooding in parts of the San Fernando Valley fuel 204 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:41,440 Speaker 3: car accidents. Of course, you heard the traffic updates. Going 205 00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:46,640 Speaker 3: to be a long night. The Emergency Management System of 206 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 3: Los Angeles and Ellie County were saying, basically, if you 207 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:55,120 Speaker 3: can just stay home, just pop on some radio and 208 00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:59,800 Speaker 3: maybe you would be tempted to scrolling over to chatgyptee, 209 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,599 Speaker 3: just ask get some questions. I like it as a 210 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:09,200 Speaker 3: thought exercise sometimes to sort of see if it can 211 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 3: do something. I think it's kind of fun to watch, like, okay, 212 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 3: can it figure this out? Sometimes it does. Just as 213 00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 3: a concept, I think it's good to bounce ideas off of. 214 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 3: Sometimes I think that there is some value to it, 215 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 3: even though I don't like it. I feel something very 216 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 3: icky about it as a concept. But a lot of 217 00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 3: people are using it for way more than just trivial 218 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:38,439 Speaker 3: things like, hey, how do I assemble this electric fireplace? 219 00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:42,960 Speaker 3: Some people are using it as their therapist check in 220 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:43,920 Speaker 3: for a little perspective. 221 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:45,680 Speaker 2: Should you do that? 222 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 3: LA based licensed marriage, family and child psychotherapist Doctor Nicky J. 223 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,720 Speaker 3: Monty is my guest, and she says there's a lot 224 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,920 Speaker 3: of danger in that good evening, Nikki on this rainy. 225 00:09:56,679 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 5: LA evening, good evening. Now, Yes, yeah, you sow a 226 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,680 Speaker 5: little my fire. I feel exactly the same way you do. 227 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:09,560 Speaker 5: It's good for logistics and a little checking in. But 228 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:15,079 Speaker 5: people are using it. Really it's our new addiction. That's 229 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:18,560 Speaker 5: the deal. Just the season of addiction and it's a 230 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:19,199 Speaker 5: new addiction. 231 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:22,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's something I think that's interesting. Why do you 232 00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:25,839 Speaker 3: think it's so enticing to people who have addiction disorders? 233 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:29,520 Speaker 5: Well, I think, you know, there's a lot of reasons. 234 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 5: Why is social media so enticing to people with, you know, 235 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:38,760 Speaker 5: addiction disorders. First of all, it gives us. It pumps 236 00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:40,920 Speaker 5: us up a lot, you know, I love that thing. 237 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:44,600 Speaker 5: I had to train my chat GBT to stop pumping me. 238 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,280 Speaker 5: I'm not interested in the fact that you think this 239 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:51,120 Speaker 5: is a brilliant question, right, I don't need your opinion 240 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,840 Speaker 5: on that, right, So we get the same kind of 241 00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:58,760 Speaker 5: dopamine hit through chat GBT that we do from Instagram 242 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 5: and Facebook when we get likes and all of that. 243 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:05,160 Speaker 5: So it really supports that idea that we're all that, 244 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:11,440 Speaker 5: and unfortunately in doing that, it it hacks our brain 245 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:15,840 Speaker 5: basically trains us as or increases to train us to 246 00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:24,160 Speaker 5: seek pleasure. And I actually prelude to this call. I 247 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,320 Speaker 5: checked in with chat GBT a couple of times and 248 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:29,480 Speaker 5: I said, so, are you aware you're doing this? And 249 00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:37,000 Speaker 5: it said yes. And the possibility that it's increasing This 250 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:41,440 Speaker 5: is what Chat said to me. That it increases addictive 251 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:47,600 Speaker 5: capacity or it stimulates addiction to some degree, and that 252 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:52,440 Speaker 5: that possibility is something designers and platforms take advantage of. 253 00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 3: So it's even about that in some sort of alternate 254 00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 3: universe whether we can use this word. 255 00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 2: But it's sort of even aware of it's danger. 256 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:05,880 Speaker 5: It's aware of his danger. It suggests I love this. 257 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:10,920 Speaker 5: It suggests that we tind to have a healthy balance. Okay, 258 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:13,840 Speaker 5: you know, I don't know about you, but I don't 259 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 5: think we live in a society where a healthy balance 260 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:16,880 Speaker 5: is a thing anymore. 261 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,080 Speaker 3: No, that's like a bottle of whiskey being like, Hey, 262 00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:21,680 Speaker 3: I know you love me and you want more of me, 263 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,600 Speaker 3: But like maybe don't drink me as much because I 264 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,440 Speaker 3: know I'm delicious, but like, ye shouldn't be. 265 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,959 Speaker 5: Back that that's Dezarre Really well, it's bizarre. 266 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:36,360 Speaker 3: I've always wondered if it feels like there's something enticing 267 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:37,880 Speaker 3: about it with any kind of therapy. 268 00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:40,880 Speaker 2: Also, which is that you know, if. 269 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:44,000 Speaker 3: I am in a situation where I can have something 270 00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:48,120 Speaker 3: else make a decision for me, it almost absolves me 271 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,880 Speaker 3: of the responsibility when something goes wrong. 272 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:55,440 Speaker 5: Well, yes, perheap, which I mean, I'm not saying that 273 00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 5: that's no. 274 00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:59,079 Speaker 3: Well, of course I'm saying that I think that that's that. 275 00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:01,240 Speaker 3: I understand why that would be a draw for people, 276 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:02,839 Speaker 3: why it is. 277 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 5: A draw, Yes, But the problem is is multiple Like 278 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:12,280 Speaker 5: for instance, chat is limited by the information we get 279 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:16,440 Speaker 5: it right, so it's feeding back to us, especially with 280 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:21,440 Speaker 5: therapeutic intervention with personal information. It only knows what we 281 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:26,760 Speaker 5: tell it, and our information is limited by our sort 282 00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:32,439 Speaker 5: of prescripted lifelong patterns and digressions and all kinds of things. 283 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:36,960 Speaker 5: So it's asking if it asks anything, which usually doesn't, 284 00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:40,120 Speaker 5: but it asks only what I call horizontal questions. You know, 285 00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:44,320 Speaker 5: that's when people go from so what's going on in 286 00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:47,599 Speaker 5: your life today and then they go to have you 287 00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,640 Speaker 5: have you heard about the baseball game? You know, so 288 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,719 Speaker 5: they don't go ask what I think of and is 289 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:59,200 Speaker 5: quality therapist ask is uh is vertical questions where we 290 00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:02,600 Speaker 5: poke and we probe and we broad and we dig 291 00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:05,199 Speaker 5: deeper and deeper because we want to get to the 292 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:08,920 Speaker 5: source of our thinking and our feelings and our behavioral choices. 293 00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:12,480 Speaker 5: And Chat's not going to do that. But I'll sell 294 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,719 Speaker 5: you My biggest concern with Chat is that it has 295 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,319 Speaker 5: no soul. And you know how I know that because 296 00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,440 Speaker 5: I ask it, do you have a soul? And it 297 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:23,640 Speaker 5: said no, Well, yeah. 298 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 2: I mean it can't. 299 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:26,880 Speaker 3: It's a collection of ones and zeros. I mean in 300 00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:28,680 Speaker 3: a sort of reductive way. 301 00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:34,040 Speaker 5: Right, because the soul is this place, it's this intangible 302 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 5: essence that we have, and each soul is different, like 303 00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:41,360 Speaker 5: our fingerprints are different, and it's where consciousness and identity 304 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:45,720 Speaker 5: and capacity live. The soul is unique and it's not 305 00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:49,960 Speaker 5: something that CHAT can understand. So because though it can 306 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:53,440 Speaker 5: hear you, and it can't it can't feel you. It 307 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:57,080 Speaker 5: can't sense you, it can't see you, So it can't 308 00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:00,680 Speaker 5: connect to your soul because, like I said, doesn't have that. 309 00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:05,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, we're talking with doctor Jicky Nikki j Monty excuse me, 310 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:08,840 Speaker 3: an LA based licensed marriage, family and child psychotherapist. We're 311 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:11,800 Speaker 3: talking about the dangers of chat GPT and people using 312 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 3: chat GPT as their therapist. I know this is a 313 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:17,120 Speaker 3: popular thing, and we've seen a lot of stories. This 314 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:22,400 Speaker 3: isn't anecdotal. These are stories where people are mentally struggling 315 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 3: and then they use chat GIPT and tragically end up 316 00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:29,960 Speaker 3: taking their own lives. There was a story a couple 317 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:34,120 Speaker 3: of days ago of parents who said that their son 318 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:40,600 Speaker 3: Uh ended up killing himself because of the being encouraged 319 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:44,880 Speaker 3: by CHATCHPT. That sounds absolutely dystopian and terrifying. 320 00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:50,960 Speaker 5: Are I don't Yeah, it's hard for me to imagine. 321 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:56,760 Speaker 5: I wouldn't blame chat GBT on that kid taking advice 322 00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:00,480 Speaker 5: because it's only seeding back to him what he's told them, right, 323 00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:05,880 Speaker 5: he's told that. It would be like blaming your brother's 324 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:10,440 Speaker 5: friends on his addiction if he's an addict. You know, 325 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:15,160 Speaker 5: it just isn't. The addict is the addict. It chooses. 326 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:19,600 Speaker 5: We choose that, we choose to listen to who we 327 00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:26,080 Speaker 5: listened to. How I got onto this question altogether, though, 328 00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:28,840 Speaker 5: is because a client that I've been working with for 329 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:30,840 Speaker 5: over a year came and he said to me, so, 330 00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:34,960 Speaker 5: now I have two therapists and Chat GBT and I said, 331 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:38,960 Speaker 5: excuse me very much, and that he read had to 332 00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:41,400 Speaker 5: read to me some things from Tragic you know what. 333 00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:45,080 Speaker 5: Chat agreed with you, I should stop drinking. I said, Oh, 334 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:47,000 Speaker 5: good for me, I feel so well. 335 00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:52,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I think it is a very strange future 336 00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:54,960 Speaker 3: that we're living in. And I think the concern is 337 00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:58,240 Speaker 3: that things like this are just seemingly good enough on 338 00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:02,760 Speaker 3: the surface that people think that, well, it's passable, all right, 339 00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:05,439 Speaker 3: I guess you know, and listen, I've had therapy sessions 340 00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:10,840 Speaker 3: with people, therapists, certified therapists that maybe we're not worth 341 00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:15,359 Speaker 3: the money. But I think that it is enticing as 342 00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:17,440 Speaker 3: a free thing. And I wonder, you know, if people 343 00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:20,479 Speaker 3: are out there and they are using this, you know, 344 00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:22,480 Speaker 3: do you want them to stop using it completely or 345 00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:24,280 Speaker 3: do you have some sort of guidelines that you'd like 346 00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:25,840 Speaker 3: for people to think about. 347 00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:30,560 Speaker 5: Well, yes, no, I don't want them to stop using 348 00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:35,200 Speaker 5: it because it's a great for a compilation of information. 349 00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:37,720 Speaker 5: We would have to do months and months of research 350 00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:44,800 Speaker 5: to put together for instance, or just logistics. It's excellent 351 00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:49,919 Speaker 5: for that and it has wonderful offerings using it to 352 00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:53,080 Speaker 5: and I would say it this way to convince yourself 353 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:56,520 Speaker 5: that you have permission too and now go fill in 354 00:17:56,560 --> 00:18:01,880 Speaker 5: the blank. A terrible way to go. And that's what 355 00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:06,560 Speaker 5: a lot of people are doing. And also we are 356 00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:11,040 Speaker 5: cell stone skipping through life. So many people A were 357 00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:14,400 Speaker 5: walking heads. We're not, you know, head to toe p any, 358 00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:17,800 Speaker 5: We're not in our bodies. We were losing a sense 359 00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:22,159 Speaker 5: of community and connectedness. And I really do worry about that. 360 00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:28,280 Speaker 5: With all the AI material and we I want to 361 00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:33,439 Speaker 5: encourage people to imagine what they would what it would be, 362 00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:36,760 Speaker 5: what would be like if no one touched their own 363 00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:40,120 Speaker 5: soul and connected soul to soul with others if all 364 00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:43,680 Speaker 5: we did was try to work from facts and figures 365 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:47,959 Speaker 5: and not really try to connect from a deeper place. 366 00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:52,080 Speaker 5: That's what we're doing when we rely on something like chat. 367 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:55,560 Speaker 5: When we rely on it, we rely on it for approval. 368 00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:59,480 Speaker 5: Oh look, yes, Oh that's a brilliant question. Do you 369 00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:04,840 Speaker 5: have another I'm here for you? Do you love me? 370 00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:08,320 Speaker 2: Yeah? Wow?

It's a memoir, 379 00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:39,560 Speaker 5: and all of the teaching comes through the dreadful story 380 00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:43,560 Speaker 5: where I spent half of my life, just as as 381 00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:45,320 Speaker 5: we do with chat, looking for love in all the 382 00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:52,560 Speaker 5: wrong places and operating from extremely low self bottom, rock 383 00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:57,040 Speaker 5: bottom self esteem.

You know, she's a legend in La Food 448 00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:04,479 Speaker 3: and I think Worldwide Food.

And Phil Rosenthal, who of course somebody feed 451 00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:15,040 Speaker 3: Phil before that created Everybody Loves Raymond. The two of 452 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:19,480 Speaker 3: them teamed up to create a diner like experience in 453 00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:24,399 Speaker 3: Larchmont on Larchmont in Hancock Park. Both of them live 454 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:27,399 Speaker 3: in the neighborhood. Phil went to this place out east 455 00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:29,000 Speaker 3: and he was like, this is the best. It was 456 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:30,480 Speaker 3: like a hundred year old diner. It's like, this is 457 00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:32,960 Speaker 3: the best thing I've ever had. I wish I had 458 00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:34,960 Speaker 3: this in my neighborhood. And so of course he called 459 00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:40,200 Speaker 3: his friends. I can't think of anybody else in La Food. 460 00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:45,639 Speaker 3: Maybe Wolfgang Puck, who could could knock it out of 461 00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:46,840 Speaker 3: the park. Like Nancy Silverton. 462 00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:50,000 Speaker 2: It sounds expensive, it's moderately. 463 00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:53,199 Speaker 3: I mean, it's a diner and breakfast is expensive, you know. 464 00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:57,240 Speaker 3: Like the Patty Melt is incredibly good.

The 469 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:10,400 Speaker 3: preparation of the burger meat itself, it's a thick burger, 470 00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:12,119 Speaker 3: The sauce that they put on there, it's kind of 471 00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:15,880 Speaker 3: a spicy mayo with the rye and the onion. It's 472 00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:20,520 Speaker 3: just it's an excellent sandwich. And they've got this thing 473 00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:23,040 Speaker 3: called the Larchmont Slam, which is kind of like a 474 00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:26,400 Speaker 3: Grand Slam. You get a pancake, eggs and bacon. You've 475 00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:31,760 Speaker 3: got home fries with like a cram fresh. I mean, 476 00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:33,960 Speaker 3: it's like basically diner food, but like elevated in the 477 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,800 Speaker 3: best possible I mean, truly, it is the best version 478 00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:39,679 Speaker 3: of that food I've ever had in my life. And 479 00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:41,719 Speaker 3: I every single bite, I was like, I cannot get 480 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:45,439 Speaker 3: over how good this is. And Max and Helen's is 481 00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:48,600 Speaker 3: what it's called. It's opening for real. I think next 482 00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:51,840 Speaker 3: week they're doing sort of a soft launch with friends 483 00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:52,680 Speaker 3: and family. 484 00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:53,280 Speaker 2: You're making me hungry. 485 00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:55,520 Speaker 3: It is like I cannot stop thinking about it. And 486 00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:58,840 Speaker 3: it was so much food. I brought half of it 487 00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:02,359 Speaker 3: home and then ate it today for breakfast, lunch, whatever 488 00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:04,760 Speaker 3: when I got back from the TV station and I 489 00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:08,639 Speaker 3: am still full. Like I'm telling you, it is something 490 00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:11,080 Speaker 3: about it, and especially in that neighborhood where you know 491 00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:13,040 Speaker 3: there's a couple sushi restaurants. 492 00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:14,600 Speaker 2: There was the Great I don't know if it's the 493 00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:15,200 Speaker 2: Great Greek. 494 00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:17,960 Speaker 3: Maybe there was a Greek restaurant down there, and the 495 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,919 Speaker 3: Petite Greek I think, And they basically they took that space, 496 00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:24,760 Speaker 3: they divided it in half. It feels like an old space. 497 00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:27,400 Speaker 3: It's got the vibe of something that's been there for 498 00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:31,840 Speaker 3: one hundred years. And it's a whole family affair because 499 00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:39,240 Speaker 3: Phil's daughter is the creative director for the space.

And then 569 00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:45,480 Speaker 7: the turnover rate was so high they'd just be gone. 570 00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:47,440 Speaker 7: All that is, Maybe that's what Neil's doing. 571 00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:48,080 Speaker 2: Do you think. 572 00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:50,640 Speaker 3: Neil's just keeping his distance from you and me because 573 00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:52,800 Speaker 3: he knows we're not thinks we're not. 574 00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:53,200 Speaker 2: Going to last. 575 00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:56,280 Speaker 7: Yeah, because he's just too delicate so to suffer the heartbreak. 576 00:28:56,840 --> 00:29:05,520 Speaker 7: All right, Well, I like that idea.

My favorite part about it is 581 00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:18,880 Speaker 7: that they have a little hot sauce there that you 582 00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:21,280 Speaker 7: can get and it's a picture of his parents like 583 00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:23,680 Speaker 7: in graphic art on it, and then below it it's 584 00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:26,440 Speaker 7: called it's the Hot Sauce and it says not for me. 585 00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:33,080 Speaker 3: It's so smart.
