So 110 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:53,840 Speaker 2: this is a loop the strings, little bass, and then 111 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,800 Speaker 2: the guitars come in and then it's Google guy. 112 00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,480 Speaker 3: So there's actually three things really interesting off the bat. 113 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:02,239 Speaker 3: So the first thing is is what is that loop? 114 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 2: The loop? 115 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 3: You know how when musicians they before they're about to 116 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 3: play a song, or maybe it was in this case, 117 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,599 Speaker 3: it was it's actually that's a bass. If you combine 118 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,719 Speaker 3: that's it's a bass, and Robbie's playing harmonics, and he 119 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:18,599 Speaker 3: had this little figure that he would play before he 120 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 3: was going to play something else. And this wasn't even 121 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 3: on this song. This is what he was playing on 122 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 3: another song, and then we did it, and then we 123 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,280 Speaker 3: had a couple of takes, right, so there's different tracks.

I had such a good 183 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 3: relationship with this guy David Campbell, who's actually the artist 184 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:07,600 Speaker 3: Beck's father. 185 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 2: So Beck, Everybody's there's like thirty people in Hollywood when 186 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 2: you really get down to it, everybody knows everybody.

And 194 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:34,600 Speaker 3: then I always had this idea of like I always 195 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 3: like this idea of let's do lead orchestra. I thought, like, 196 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 3: you know, you can have a guitar section, so you 197 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 3: have a guitar section in a song, and then there's 198 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 3: a guitar lead section, right, have the orchestra play the 199 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:47,560 Speaker 3: soul of the orchestra play the soul cool Dave like arrange. 200 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 2: That's so interesting. So that's what that was. And as 201 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:53,559 Speaker 2: we see in Black Balloon towards the bridge, there is 202 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:55,960 Speaker 2: another moment that we'll listen to that is, of course 203 00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:58,560 Speaker 2: the orchestra coming back doing right. 204 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 3: And then I have a really another big one for 205 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 3: the intro. Believe it or not. 206 00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:03,720 Speaker 2: Okay, we'll go back to that. And second here your things. 207 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 2: Oh oh, it's like it's like old Hollywood. 208 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, magic, we would call that like I used to 209 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:41,280 Speaker 3: call that, like let's soar, Yes, just goes soaring over California, 210 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,680 Speaker 3: you know, let's go soaring and so like we would 211 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:48,719 Speaker 3: write these melodies and use the chord structure that was 212 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 3: embedded in the song and let the band rock out 213 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 3: and then soar with the orchestra. 214 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 2: It reminds me of the Petty Learning to Fly. There's 215 00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 2: kind of a really beautiful solo that's a slide I 216 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 2: think that that min Campbell playing, and it's the same 217 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:03,959 Speaker 2: kind of moment where we're just sort of like, here's 218 00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:06,719 Speaker 2: the story has been told, and now we have a 219 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:11,080 Speaker 2: moment to reflect on it. And then when Johnny comes 220 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:15,439 Speaker 2: back in with the final chorus and he's it's just 221 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:21,559 Speaker 2: like he's woiling on this. We'll listen here, there's no 222 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:28,640 Speaker 2: time lose it, laying a stead and then we hear 223 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:32,680 Speaker 2: at the end of it, I'll become what you became 224 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:34,839 Speaker 2: to me, And it's just like it's just it makes 225 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:38,760 Speaker 2: you cry. It's really beautiful. His lyrics are pretty awesome. 226 00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 2: He's on that whole Dizzy Up the Girl record. If 227 00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:42,599 Speaker 2: you just listen, you could just read the lyrics and 228 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:47,120 Speaker 2: just kill you, you know, fall apart. Yeah, it's pretty awesome. 229 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 2: One more thing here before we go back to the intro, 230 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:51,440 Speaker 2: just that the drums for a second, which you were 231 00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 2: talking about. You can make the drums sound big as heck. 232 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:56,800 Speaker 2: But this is I think these drums sound amazing. These 233 00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,079 Speaker 2: are what drums sound like to me, what they should 234 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:10,960 Speaker 2: sound like. Drums. Yeah, that almost like if you hear 235 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,240 Speaker 2: that out of context, that's like a new Jack swing thing. 236 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, totally. 237 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:18,040 Speaker 2: You could sample bows and get that amazing. Okay, so fine. 238 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,120 Speaker 3: I want to give credit to Jack Joseph Quieg for 239 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,760 Speaker 3: mixing those drums. That's a huge sounding kick drum and 240 00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:27,280 Speaker 3: a beautiful sounding, very special snare. He had some tricks 241 00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:28,160 Speaker 3: that he would do with a snare. 242 00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, unbelievable mixer, known of course also by his software 243 00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:37,000 Speaker 2: as well. Yeah, because his equipment. Nobody could ever be 244 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,199 Speaker 2: able to afford to have the amount of tapes and 245 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:42,480 Speaker 2: tubes that that man add correct. So you had one 246 00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:43,320 Speaker 2: more thing about the intro. 247 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:47,319 Speaker 3: What's interesting is and that when that acoustic comes in. 248 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:51,000 Speaker 3: I could be wrong, but I think that that is 249 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:55,959 Speaker 3: the guitar that has been dubbed ex Caliber, which I 250 00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,560 Speaker 3: don't know if you know about that, but in nineteen 251 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,439 Speaker 3: ninety five, I was like maybe the only guy that 252 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:03,679 Speaker 3: was like, well I got to get a good acoustic 253 00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:06,440 Speaker 3: because everywhere all street punks we didn't have that much money, 254 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:08,040 Speaker 3: but I was a producer, so I better have one 255 00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:11,200 Speaker 3: good acoustic And I was actually recording Carris Flowers, which 256 00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,320 Speaker 3: of course is mo'reon five if you know, oh right 257 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,880 Speaker 3: before they had personally Yeah, So Adam Levine was the 258 00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 3: first one to use, the first guy to use it 259 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:22,560 Speaker 3: on the Karras Flowers record, and then it ended up 260 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:26,120 Speaker 3: being on like eight number one singles, including Time of 261 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 3: Your Life, the Green Day song. 262 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:29,800 Speaker 2: What kind of guitar is this?

It's 279 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:05,959 Speaker 2: plugged in as well with some distortion or something like that. 280 00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 3: So there was a trick on the Googles in general 281 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 3: that was like, I was like, you know, Johnny has 282 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:13,959 Speaker 3: this very specific kind of vocal, and I had this 283 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,880 Speaker 3: weird idea that guitars, the guitar sound should be kind 284 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:18,679 Speaker 3: of like the vocal because I always got that from 285 00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,040 Speaker 3: Led Zeppelin. I was always like, well, is it Robert 286 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:23,760 Speaker 3: Planter or is Jimmy Page's lead guitar? That's awesome, similar, 287 00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:25,760 Speaker 3: that's awesome.

And I thought, well, let's 290 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 3: get an electric, an acoustic guitar that you can mike 291 00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:36,679 Speaker 3: obviously you can make any acoustic, but also one you 292 00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,559 Speaker 3: could plug in. So it has a little microphone on 293 00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,760 Speaker 3: the inside, and then I would split that signal, one 294 00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 3: going direct to the board, the other one going to 295 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:52,200 Speaker 3: a slightly distorted, you know, Fender amp of some kind. 296 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 2: So you're getting the bigness of the acoustic guitar, the 297 00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:58,079 Speaker 2: sort of top end machine, and also the grunt of 298 00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 2: an electric guitar, which I think actually does one mirror 299 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:04,720 Speaker 2: Johnny Resdick's voice a little bit, which is very sweet 300 00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:07,079 Speaker 2: but also has a good amount of aggression to it. 301 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,800 Speaker 3: You can definitely hear that sound I'm talking about on 302 00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:13,960 Speaker 3: the song Slide, because that's it's all that amazing beginning 303 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,280 Speaker 3: of that song.

Hey, do you 338 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:06,800 Speaker 2: hear Travis Kelsey's investing in six Flags. I did hear that. Yeah, 339 00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 2: are you excited for this is gonna make you change 340 00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:09,800 Speaker 2: your mind? How long has it been since you've been 341 00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:12,200 Speaker 2: up there to I haven't been there since a grad 342 00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:15,000 Speaker 2: night in high school senior year. How many years ago 343 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 2: was that for you? We're talking class of twenty twelve, 344 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:22,280 Speaker 2: so we're talking almost what twelve thirteen years? Yeah, been 345 00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:23,440 Speaker 2: a minut, There been a minute. 346 00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:23,760 Speaker 1: Yeah. 347 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 2: Not a big roller coaster guy, I am. I just 348 00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:27,680 Speaker 2: never went back. I never had a reason to go 349 00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:30,240 Speaker 2: back since then. I think it's an interesting thing because 350 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:32,000 Speaker 2: I feel like when you go as a kid, you 351 00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:33,800 Speaker 2: go a few times and then there's a point in 352 00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:35,000 Speaker 2: your life where you're like, I don't need to do 353 00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:37,600 Speaker 2: that anymore. Like a very specific kind of person still 354 00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:40,000 Speaker 2: wants to go there all the time. But I swear 355 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:41,840 Speaker 2: when I went there, and I was probably like nineteen 356 00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:44,000 Speaker 2: the last time I went. But I went to Cedar Point, 357 00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 2: which is in Sandusky, Ohio. It's like where they have 358 00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:48,640 Speaker 2: the fastest, biggest roller coasters of all time kind of thing. 359 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:51,040 Speaker 2: I was not a big roller coaster guy, but even 360 00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:55,360 Speaker 2: in my early twenties, it hurt me. It was painful. 361 00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:58,160 Speaker 2: You get off the ride, You're like, ah, like, my 362 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:01,840 Speaker 2: back hurts because your body is not designed to be 363 00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:05,320 Speaker 2: tossed around like that. Everything already hurts without that. That's 364 00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:08,040 Speaker 2: exactly right. So then you throw in a roller coaster. 365 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:12,600 Speaker 2: Then what you got? I don't know. Crazy, but Travis 366 00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:15,560 Speaker 2: kelce though, of course, now I like to refer to 367 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,560 Speaker 2: Travis Kelcey as I love when the media refers to 368 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:23,119 Speaker 2: him as Taylor Swift's fiance, as if this man has 369 00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:26,840 Speaker 2: not done anything else in his life, forget the football career. 370 00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:29,680 Speaker 2: But it is just I gotta be honest with you. 371 00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:32,720 Speaker 2: It's as dumb as it sounds to me. This man, who, like, 372 00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:35,000 Speaker 2: for all intents and purposes, is just kind of an 373 00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:42,080 Speaker 2: overgrown boy. Say what you will about the newest record, okay, 374 00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:46,679 Speaker 2: but but the man he has a hard time spelling squirrel, 375 00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:50,080 Speaker 2: you know, and you got to just think like, oh wow, 376 00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:57,040 Speaker 2: I'm gonna buy roller coasters. But he's joined Jana Partners, 377 00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:00,080 Speaker 2: which is a New York City based law firm. They 378 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:04,840 Speaker 2: are described as activist investors, which of course is what 379 00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 2: they use. It's a term they basically use to describe 380 00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:08,760 Speaker 2: a company that comes in invests in something that's not 381 00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:12,840 Speaker 2: doing well with the purpose of turning it around, changing 382 00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:15,280 Speaker 2: a lot of things. A leveraged buyout, that might be 383 00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:17,920 Speaker 2: one of the ways that you might hurt hear it. 384 00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:21,600 Speaker 2: They typically don't stay invested for very long, so they 385 00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:24,720 Speaker 2: come in, make some changes, flip it, and then they sell. 386 00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:28,080 Speaker 2: But this group that he's a part of owns nine 387 00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:34,760 Speaker 2: percent of the amusement park. Travis Kelce does he get 388 00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,200 Speaker 2: his own roller coaster ride? Probably not, but it's a 389 00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:40,640 Speaker 2: nice idea. Will Taylor Swift to start playing a tour 390 00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:48,120 Speaker 2: of Six Flags across America? I can't imagine activist Activist 391 00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:53,159 Speaker 2: investors are often viewed negatively, at least according to an 392 00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:57,720 Speaker 2: executive who spoke to Cleveland dot com about the purchase. Cleveland, 393 00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:00,760 Speaker 2: of course, is the city that is near Cedar Point, 394 00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:04,399 Speaker 2: which is that big theme park in Sandusky, Ohio that 395 00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:07,040 Speaker 2: was apparently a favorite for the Kelsey brothers when they 396 00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:10,200 Speaker 2: were growing up. Not doing well, those stock price is 397 00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:14,120 Speaker 2: less than half of what it was when Six Flags 398 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:20,280 Speaker 2: merged with Cedar Fair in twenty twenty four. Attendance is 399 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:23,200 Speaker 2: down nine percent, season pass sales are down eight percent, 400 00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:25,760 Speaker 2: Revenue down one hundred million. Dollars and they are five 401 00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:32,480 Speaker 2: billion dollars in debt. Where I don't want there to 402 00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:36,200 Speaker 2: be financial issues is at a theme park. I don't 403 00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,440 Speaker 2: want to go to a theme park where they haven't 404 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:42,600 Speaker 2: paid their bills. Maybe they got people who are operating 405 00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:46,359 Speaker 2: those rides. You don't know what kind of money issues 406 00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:49,520 Speaker 2: they're having or what they're skimping on. When something breaks, 407 00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:52,320 Speaker 2: do they not put an OEM replacement? I mean, that's 408 00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:55,080 Speaker 2: how I've been in my life. Okay, I got an 409 00:19:55,119 --> 00:20:01,280 Speaker 2: old car. It broke down. Old car breaks down, stuff 410 00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:04,639 Speaker 2: fails to go to the shop. Do you want to 411 00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:07,560 Speaker 2: put it in the original part? Fifteen hundred bucks? All right, 412 00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:12,200 Speaker 2: what's a used part? What's apart from my other broken 413 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:14,400 Speaker 2: car that you could take it off of? That's Robin 414 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:20,399 Speaker 2: Peter to pay Paul Boy, oh boy. Speaking of cars, 415 00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:26,320 Speaker 2: it's not just kids like me. It's all kind of 416 00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:28,440 Speaker 2: kids who like old school cars. 417 00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:33,040 Speaker 4: One look around Georgeioppolis Motors and it's hard to miss 418 00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:36,440 Speaker 4: that the owner Stathios is far younger than most of 419 00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:39,600 Speaker 4: the inventory.

Three wheels, I think, one wheel in 432 00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:16,600 Speaker 2: the back. You basically get in through a front door 433 00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:18,240 Speaker 2: and sit there. It kind of looks like a clown car, 434 00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:20,920 Speaker 2: but even smaller.

This is a 441 00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,879 Speaker 2: nineteen eighty four hundred I automatic. 442 00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:48,800 Speaker 4: Wow Ferrari, that's almost two decades older than Stathios's. 443 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:53,080 Speaker 5: You an expertise, often surprising clients. Then they come and meet. 444 00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:56,600 Speaker 2: Stathius Grogoppolis does sound a little bit like a DC villain. 445 00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,320 Speaker 2: I understand that, but again, not a lot of Greeks 446 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:01,960 Speaker 2: out here in southern California. I'm Greek, grew up with 447 00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:05,720 Speaker 2: a lot of Greeks. Stavios Gregoppolis a silly name maybe 448 00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:09,119 Speaker 2: to you, but uh fairly common. 449 00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:14,160 Speaker 5: Yoes you an expertise, often surprising clients. 450 00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:16,040 Speaker 6: Then they come and meet me and they're like, oh wow, 451 00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:19,640 Speaker 6: and they thought I was forty years old or fifty 452 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:21,240 Speaker 6: years old and had this business. 453 00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:23,959 Speaker 2: Or my favorite question is well, I mean, even if 454 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,720 Speaker 2: you just saw it on your email signature, Stavio's Gregopolis 455 00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:27,840 Speaker 2: does not sound like a young. 456 00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:30,879 Speaker 6: Person forty years old or fifty years old and had 457 00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:35,360 Speaker 6: this business. Or my favorite question is that your family started. 458 00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:40,400 Speaker 5: The answer is no. Stathio started this himself during the pandemic. 459 00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:44,200 Speaker 4: He pivoted from a promising finance job and into vintage 460 00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:47,600 Speaker 4: car seales. And along the way he's finding younger auto 461 00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:51,439 Speaker 4: enthusiasts like him, craving cars with character. 462 00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:53,840 Speaker 6: It's a lot of cars today. They all look the same. 463 00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:57,159 Speaker 6: They don't look special, they don't look different. You can 464 00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:04,280 Speaker 6: have toyotas confused with Lamberg. Do we really they don't 465 00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:08,480 Speaker 6: look different. You can have Toyotas confused with Lamborghinis. 466 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:13,879 Speaker 2: I'm not a lambeau guy, do like a Toyota, but 467 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:15,960 Speaker 2: I don't think there's a lot of people confusing Toyotas 468 00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:19,440 Speaker 2: and Lamborghinis. For a while, people were worried that once 469 00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:22,720 Speaker 2: this generation of kind of like boomers and older folks 470 00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:26,639 Speaker 2: kind of stopped driving. That's a nice way of putting it. 471 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:28,080 Speaker 2: He was looking for the words. 472 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:32,320 Speaker 5: There ooks kind of stopped driving, that that passion for 473 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:33,080 Speaker 5: cars would go away. 474 00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:34,760 Speaker 2: But you're really not seeing that. 475 00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:38,480 Speaker 4: Andy Kammelwitz, a reporter for auto news site Jalopnik, is 476 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:41,960 Speaker 4: also tracking this shift in vintage vehicles, and so is 477 00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:46,560 Speaker 4: classic car insurer Haggarty, noting that nostalgia and social media 478 00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:50,640 Speaker 4: appear to be key drivers spurring young people into spending 479 00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:52,240 Speaker 4: tens of thousands on. 480 00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:55,040 Speaker 5: Antique autos in this high tech age. 481 00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:00,720 Speaker 4: Haggarty survey finding roughly sixty percent of gens d it's 482 00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:04,320 Speaker 4: interested in owning a classic car.

I'm gonna expand that actually, because a 503 00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:14,159 Speaker 2: lot of people reach a point where they're not no 504 00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:17,000 Speaker 2: longer addressing up. I'm to that point if I didn't 505 00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:20,159 Speaker 2: have to do some goofy thing for TV. I definitely 506 00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:25,720 Speaker 2: would not. I do have a message from a listener saying, 507 00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:28,560 Speaker 2: what is your band and how can people listen and 508 00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:30,800 Speaker 2: what is a favorite song that you have recorded? Oh 509 00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:31,760 Speaker 2: that's awesome, okay. 510 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:32,520 Speaker 3: So the. 511 00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:38,920 Speaker 2: Band is called Andy in the Valley and my favorite 512 00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:40,920 Speaker 2: song that I have recorded or they can listen on 513 00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:44,840 Speaker 2: anywhere you know, on Spotify or Apple Music. And I 514 00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,960 Speaker 2: think my favorite song that I've recorded that is released 515 00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:50,400 Speaker 2: is a song that I did at a place called 516 00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:54,119 Speaker 2: United Recorders. It's called Still on My Mind. That's a 517 00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:55,680 Speaker 2: song there, the second one if you go to the 518 00:25:56,520 --> 00:26:01,159 Speaker 2: Andy the Valley page on Spotify. And this song, I 519 00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:02,879 Speaker 2: don't even know if I'm allowed to play it on here. 520 00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:04,800 Speaker 2: If that's like a conflict of interest, I'll ask my 521 00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:07,840 Speaker 2: boss next time. But it was recorded in one of 522 00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:10,680 Speaker 2: the studios that Rob Cavallo recorded a lot of Green 523 00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:14,959 Speaker 2: Day Records in Studio B and United Recorders also known 524 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,480 Speaker 2: as Oceanway Recorders, and it's right there on Sunset Boulevard. 525 00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:19,800 Speaker 2: And I always wanted to record there as a kid 526 00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:22,760 Speaker 2: because I was a nerd and I would look it 527 00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:25,000 Speaker 2: up like what the liner notes on these records were 528 00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:27,560 Speaker 2: are the albums, and I would see like who the 529 00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:29,879 Speaker 2: producer was or where they recorded it, and so I 530 00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:32,440 Speaker 2: knew that Ocean Way was a big deal, and especially 531 00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:35,280 Speaker 2: much later because they actually sampled the room for like 532 00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:38,159 Speaker 2: a reverb for pro tools that you could use to 533 00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:40,600 Speaker 2: make your guitar sound like it was recorded in the 534 00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:44,320 Speaker 2: same space at approximation, make your voice sound like it 535 00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:47,159 Speaker 2: was in that room. So I always used this. I 536 00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:49,000 Speaker 2: always wanted to record there, and finally got the opportunity 537 00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:50,920 Speaker 2: to do that a couple of years ago. We took 538 00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:56,080 Speaker 2: a band in there, drummer, bassist, guitarist, myself, and we 539 00:26:56,200 --> 00:27:02,359 Speaker 2: recorded to tape two inch magnetic tape, and it's the 540 00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:05,040 Speaker 2: first time that I'd ever had that kind of experience 541 00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:07,000 Speaker 2: at a big Hollywood studio, and I was a little nervous, 542 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,280 Speaker 2: but we did a bunch of takes, just like they 543 00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:11,520 Speaker 2: would have back in the day in the nineties and 544 00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:14,760 Speaker 2: the eighties, and I sent it off to the guy 545 00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:18,040 Speaker 2: to get it mixed, and he was the first time 546 00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:19,800 Speaker 2: I've ever experienced anything like this. He was like, I 547 00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:22,240 Speaker 2: didn't have to hardly do anything because the room is 548 00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:24,840 Speaker 2: so good and we know what that sound of that 549 00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:27,200 Speaker 2: room is so well from all the records that have 550 00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:31,040 Speaker 2: been recorded there that I didn't even have to edit 551 00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:33,000 Speaker 2: it that much or change it that much. So that 552 00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:36,400 Speaker 2: song is called Still on My Mind. And like I said, 553 00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:42,240 Speaker 2: it was recorded in Studio B there United Recorders on Sunset, 554 00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:43,840 Speaker 2: which is now I think not even open to the 555 00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:46,440 Speaker 2: public anymore. So we got to record it in the 556 00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:50,080 Speaker 2: last couple of weeks there before it switched over to 557 00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:54,240 Speaker 2: not being able to be used by the public. Andy 558 00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:59,960 Speaker 2: in the Valley Fun Stuff Love Music California is interested. 559 00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:03,000 Speaker 2: There two new laws aimed at addressing the insurance crisis 560 00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:08,200 Speaker 2: for homeowners. They are expanding grants for fireproofing, increasing payments 561 00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:11,960 Speaker 2: after wildfires, and giving the Fare Plan, which is the 562 00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:17,520 Speaker 2: insurer of last resort, more financial stability. The package of 563 00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:20,840 Speaker 2: new laws is meant to stabilize the home insurance market 564 00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:24,320 Speaker 2: and help property owners protect their homes from wildfires and 565 00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:28,240 Speaker 2: of course recover when they lose everything after a fire. 566 00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:32,439 Speaker 2: We saw this in January Assembly Bill eight eight eight 567 00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:35,080 Speaker 2: is a grant to help low income howner. Low income 568 00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:37,800 Speaker 2: homeowners rather pay for things like new roofs that are 569 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:41,880 Speaker 2: fire resistant or help them clear brush A lot of 570 00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:46,200 Speaker 2: experts are recommending a five foot brush clearance right around 571 00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:50,000 Speaker 2: your house. There and high risk areas. These kinds of 572 00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:54,760 Speaker 2: things can cost thousands of dollars, but they do get 573 00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:56,480 Speaker 2: you a discount on your insurance, or at least in 574 00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:59,479 Speaker 2: certain situations they do. The state doesn't know how much 575 00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:02,600 Speaker 2: they want to give people for this yet as far 576 00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:04,640 Speaker 2: as how much money they're going to give to these homeowners, 577 00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:09,400 Speaker 2: but low income at least according to this plan, is 578 00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:11,680 Speaker 2: one hundred and sixty thousand dollars a year for a 579 00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:15,280 Speaker 2: family of four, So that's a lot of people who 580 00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:18,720 Speaker 2: would be eligible for this. Another bill will raise the 581 00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:21,480 Speaker 2: payout for personal property to three hundred fifty thousand dollars, 582 00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:25,160 Speaker 2: up from two hundred fifty thousand. And then another bill, 583 00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:27,560 Speaker 2: I guess there's three, not two, ensures the Fair Plan 584 00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:30,800 Speaker 2: doesn't run out of money after a fire. The Fair Plan, 585 00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:34,640 Speaker 2: by the way, like I said, the estate's last resort 586 00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:37,040 Speaker 2: insurance program. It warned that it was running out of 587 00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:40,560 Speaker 2: money after the LA fires in January, four billion dollars 588 00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:43,400 Speaker 2: in claims. I think you might recall the state gave 589 00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:47,280 Speaker 2: I think a billion dollars in a bailout after the fires. 590 00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:53,320 Speaker 2: Half of which policyholders are paying for baby. That's right. 591 00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:57,160 Speaker 2: It's really interesting though, because if you're looking to live 592 00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:02,080 Speaker 2: basically anywhere that is not flat in La County, and 593 00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:05,080 Speaker 2: I say the hills, and yes, it's places like the 594 00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:08,400 Speaker 2: Hollywood Hills or Beverly Hills or the hills of West 595 00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:12,400 Speaker 2: Hollywood where you know, multimillion, ten million, twenty five million 596 00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:15,360 Speaker 2: dollar houses are. But it's also places like northeast Los 597 00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:20,360 Speaker 2: Angeles where there are relatively affordable homes, homes that you 598 00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:23,840 Speaker 2: would consider starter homes, two bedroom, one bath, one point 599 00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:28,000 Speaker 2: two million dollar homes. It's all crazy, but those homes. Basically, 600 00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:31,280 Speaker 2: you have to get the fair plan if you're buying 601 00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:33,720 Speaker 2: a home. Now, some people are grandfathered in and their 602 00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:36,280 Speaker 2: prior home insurance. But if you're going out there and 603 00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:39,680 Speaker 2: you're looking at Highland Park or Mount Washington, cool house 604 00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:43,520 Speaker 2: maybe affordable relatively speaking for La County, but you're looking 605 00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:47,720 Speaker 2: at maybe ten to fifteen thousand dollars a year in 606 00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:53,080 Speaker 2: insurance money that obviously is not equity money you don't 607 00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:55,800 Speaker 2: get back when you sell the house, and I think 608 00:30:56,960 --> 00:31:00,280 Speaker 2: unfortunately makes the house harder to sell, and you do 609 00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:02,560 Speaker 2: want to go sell it because of course that's a 610 00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:06,640 Speaker 2: big expense for people tough stuff out there. There's also 611 00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:09,240 Speaker 2: a new investigation into how much the state did or 612 00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:13,320 Speaker 2: didn't do following what's called the Lockman Fire. That was 613 00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:15,720 Speaker 2: a fire that was started by alleged to at least 614 00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:19,960 Speaker 2: have been started by Jonathan Rinderneck in the hills above 615 00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:24,200 Speaker 2: the Palisades a few days before the Palisades Fire, of course, 616 00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:29,080 Speaker 2: took off and took out much of that community. Lawyers 617 00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:32,600 Speaker 2: who represent thousands of Palisade fire victims are focusing on 618 00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:38,080 Speaker 2: the state, not just Jonathan Rinderneck. The state owns to 619 00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:41,680 Speaker 2: Penga State Park, and the argument is that the state 620 00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:47,320 Speaker 2: didn't do enough to monitor that small fire on January first, 621 00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:51,320 Speaker 2: the Lockman fire. A hiker who hiked in that area 622 00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:54,440 Speaker 2: a couple days after that fire was, according to the 623 00:31:54,560 --> 00:32:00,640 Speaker 2: LAPD or LAFD, rather fully contained, took a videotape or 624 00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:03,520 Speaker 2: took a videotape what is it nineteen eighty five, took 625 00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:07,360 Speaker 2: a cell phone video of it still burning or at 626 00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:12,080 Speaker 2: least smoldering. So the concern is, or at least the 627 00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:15,760 Speaker 2: lawsuit on behalf of the Palisades Fire victims alleges that 628 00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:19,560 Speaker 2: the state did not do enough to make sure that 629 00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:23,560 Speaker 2: that fire was under control. There was a lot of 630 00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:27,680 Speaker 2: this conversation after Jonathan Rinderneck was accused of setting this fire, 631 00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:31,000 Speaker 2: and then of course charge was all the things he 632 00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:34,920 Speaker 2: was charged of when this ultimately led to the Palisades fire. 633 00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:37,320 Speaker 2: But his attorneys were saying, look are some people who 634 00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:41,160 Speaker 2: are re least advocating on his behalf. Look, yeah, he 635 00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:44,080 Speaker 2: started this little fire, but is it his responsibility after 636 00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:48,960 Speaker 2: this thing is allegedly out for seven days, who is 637 00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:51,560 Speaker 2: responsible for making sure that that fire doesn't spark up again, 638 00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:53,960 Speaker 2: especially when you know that there's a high wind event coming. 639 00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:57,640 Speaker 2: Just one of the many things that we're looking into 640 00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:05,400 Speaker 2: as far as the onus the responsibility for that Palisades fire. 641 00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:10,920 Speaker 2: Sixty eight hundred structures destroyed, twelve people died in that fire. 642 00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:13,200 Speaker 2: This is remember, just the Palisades fire, doesn't include the 643 00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:18,680 Speaker 2: Eaton fire where there were more fatalities. Very complicated, lots 644 00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:21,840 Speaker 2: of crazy stuff. We will keep you posted by the way. 645 00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:24,720 Speaker 2: That ground stop at Los Angeles International Airport just a 646 00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:27,240 Speaker 2: thing of the past. I was doing some show prep 647 00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:31,080 Speaker 2: earlier today. A lot of delays. This airport was shut 648 00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:34,240 Speaker 2: down because of I guess sick calls. That's a crazy 649 00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:37,760 Speaker 2: world living, isn't it? But back open now doing Okay, 650 00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:41,360 Speaker 2: no issues at least beyond the normal issues at the 651 00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:44,360 Speaker 2: Los Angeles International Airport.

Judy man Cuso, who's the 711 00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:29,160 Speaker 2: president founder CEO, she was the point person after the fires. Yes, 712 00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:33,000 Speaker 2: a private citizen by the way, who basically was putting 713 00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:37,160 Speaker 2: rescue groups in contact with people who were victims of 714 00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:39,800 Speaker 2: the fire, who had animals who were inside the disaster 715 00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:44,759 Speaker 2: zone right who, by the way, FEMA accredited, were not 716 00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:48,239 Speaker 2: allowed to go in and help save many of these 717 00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:49,840 Speaker 2: animals that got left behind. And we know that we 718 00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:53,000 Speaker 2: saw with Oreo, we saw so many of these animals 719 00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:56,040 Speaker 2: still in there in the two weeks. 720 00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:59,320 Speaker 7: Two weeks, and Judy, like you said, was able to 721 00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:03,600 Speaker 7: spearhead and Galvi and I so many different rescue operations 722 00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:06,480 Speaker 7: and there are a lot of people doing that work. Judy, 723 00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:11,000 Speaker 7: I think is the cream of the crop. And again, 724 00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:13,920 Speaker 7: like you said, it's these are our babies, these are 725 00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:18,160 Speaker 7: our families, And there are heartwarming stories still coming out 726 00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:22,520 Speaker 7: nine ten months later about these reunions with pets that 727 00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:25,560 Speaker 7: are out there still and they're being found, and it's 728 00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:29,200 Speaker 7: just the longevity of this situation of the fires is incredible. 729 00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:32,000 Speaker 2: You're absolutely right. And I think that there's I remember 730 00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:33,560 Speaker 2: there were people who were saying things when we were 731 00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:35,239 Speaker 2: doing these stories. We're like, well, why did you I 732 00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:37,640 Speaker 2: would never leave my dog behind. It's like, bro, the 733 00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:40,000 Speaker 2: people were not at home when this happened, you know, 734 00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:42,000 Speaker 2: they weren't able to get to them, or they had 735 00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:47,839 Speaker 2: situations where they had cats who were maybe feral at 736 00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:49,840 Speaker 2: least a couple of times, or were not able to 737 00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:52,480 Speaker 2: easily you know, in a disaster when you're evacuating, you've 738 00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:55,200 Speaker 2: ever tried to put a normal cat in your car? Right, 739 00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:57,120 Speaker 2: That's right? No, I mean you talk about some of 740 00:37:57,200 --> 00:37:58,560 Speaker 2: these cats that you know that people don't think that 741 00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:00,319 Speaker 2: they're going to have to leave them. So it's really 742 00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:03,480 Speaker 2: good that Judy was there. She was organizing that. I 743 00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:04,920 Speaker 2: know that you and I both kind of got to 744 00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:08,000 Speaker 2: sit shotgun and see a lot of those stories play out. 745 00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:10,040 Speaker 2: I remember we were up in the Palisades and there 746 00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:14,400 Speaker 2: was a like pair of birds I think they make 747 00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:18,360 Speaker 2: a parrot and some large large I won't misname what 748 00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:20,600 Speaker 2: kind of animals they were, but they were big birds, yes, 749 00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:22,600 Speaker 2: and they were like one hundred years old or something 750 00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:25,839 Speaker 2: like that. And the owners couldn't get in to get 751 00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:27,600 Speaker 2: these birds out, and obviously they didn't know how to. 752 00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:29,000 Speaker 2: I mean, they were gonna, what do you how do 753 00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:29,720 Speaker 2: you get a bird? 754 00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:30,239 Speaker 4: Right? 755 00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:33,040 Speaker 2: So they needed a truck and finally they Judy was 756 00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:35,239 Speaker 2: able to get some rescuers, and I followed them up 757 00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:38,200 Speaker 2: there into the palisades and watched as they, I mean, 758 00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:43,799 Speaker 2: in a terrible situation.
