A potocarpus can only take 0:00:11.280 --> 0:00:13.080 so much of your urine. 0:00:14.040 --> 0:00:15.680 Then that would be the plant right behind the gate 0:00:15.680 --> 0:00:16.680 that looked like it was dying. 0:00:16.840 --> 0:00:31.960 Yes, Pasha Tosh, this is toss show woo. 0:00:32.479 --> 0:00:35.440 That was a new sign on. Man, I'm in a 0:00:35.479 --> 0:00:38.199 good mood today. Why in such a good mood? O? J. 0:00:38.440 --> 0:00:43.560 Simpson dead? Oh say what you want about O. J. Simpson. 0:00:44.159 --> 0:00:48.479 But he was a murderer. He miss he was. I 0:00:48.560 --> 0:00:53.840 actually worry that those two murders will negatively affect his legacy. 0:00:54.080 --> 0:00:59.120 These are tribute jokes for Norm MacDonald. Rip Norm. I 0:00:59.120 --> 0:01:02.720 wonder if anyone is with OJ Dine have they said, 0:01:02.840 --> 0:01:07.880 oh this one hurts. That always bugs me when I 0:01:07.920 --> 0:01:10.920 read some oh this one hurt or when they go 0:01:11.040 --> 0:01:16.559 up twenty twenty four, come on, like, ease up, well, Eddie, 0:01:17.520 --> 0:01:23.840 I hope you're excited because today I'm debuting a new segment. 0:01:24.319 --> 0:01:27.400 I'm excited. I came up with this the other day 0:01:27.440 --> 0:01:30.640 when I was watching some basketball, and I'm like, this 0:01:31.360 --> 0:01:33.720 is gonna be a great new segment. I'm calling it 0:01:34.240 --> 0:01:39.240 front row face off. This is the Lakers versus the 0:01:39.360 --> 0:01:42.720 Pacers edition. All right, Okay, here's how the game's played. 0:01:42.959 --> 0:01:47.240 You show me a photo of the front row at 0:01:47.280 --> 0:01:50.960 a Lakers game or a Pacers game, and I have 0:01:51.040 --> 0:01:54.160 to guess which one it is. All right, Eddie, give 0:01:54.200 --> 0:01:59.080 me the first one here you Okay, this seems like 0:01:59.080 --> 0:02:04.840 a dead giveaway because it's just all middle aged white men. 0:02:05.840 --> 0:02:09.440 One guy's wearing an Indie shirt and I can see 0:02:09.440 --> 0:02:14.959 the floor, so I know this is Indianapolis, right, Yes 0:02:14.960 --> 0:02:18.440 it is. But look at these people. I mean, these 0:02:18.440 --> 0:02:21.160 are the people that love to make fun of California. 0:02:21.200 --> 0:02:23.279 By the way, I have shows coming up in Indianapolis 0:02:23.280 --> 0:02:26.480 and I can't wait to mock them in person. But 0:02:27.200 --> 0:02:32.720 as I look out at that rich selection of diversity, 0:02:34.240 --> 0:02:35.959 and you have to understand, this is the front row. 0:02:36.360 --> 0:02:39.040 So these are the richest people in Indianapolis, and they know 0:02:39.080 --> 0:02:42.720 they're gonna be on TV, so they're wearing their best clothes, 0:02:43.680 --> 0:02:46.600 just oozing with style. All right, Well, that one was 0:02:46.639 --> 0:02:49.440 pretty easy. All right, let me see the next one. Okay, 0:02:50.919 --> 0:02:55.680 I'm gonna guess Los Angeles Lakers. You got Megan thee 0:02:55.720 --> 0:03:02.960 Stallion showing her showing her sweet cleave. Oh man, Yeah, 0:03:03.120 --> 0:03:05.560 a bunch of Lakers.

You look at 0:03:12.440 --> 0:03:17.560 our front row and you're like, oh, la sucks. Okay, yeah, no, 0:03:17.680 --> 0:03:21.160 it's it sucks so bad.

I mean there's 0:03:34.320 --> 0:03:38.600 just a lot of style dressing to the nines looking great. 0:03:39.280 --> 0:03:40.400 You got any anymore? 0:03:40.920 --> 0:03:41.839 Yeah, here's another one. 0:03:42.880 --> 0:03:48.920 Indianapolis, Am I right?

That 0:04:06.480 --> 0:04:10.240 was the Lakers Pacers edition. Speaking of trailer trash, I 0:04:10.280 --> 0:04:14.760 own a trailer. Yeah, not so Hollywood elitist, now, am I? 0:04:14.760 --> 0:04:17.200 I love my in laws so much that I had 0:04:17.200 --> 0:04:19.440 a mobile home parked in front of my house so 0:04:19.480 --> 0:04:22.440 they could feel more like the Florida trash they are. 0:04:22.680 --> 0:04:29.120 It's nineteen eighty seven Axcella airstream had it completely renovated. 0:04:29.960 --> 0:04:38.080 Enjoy Casha today's guest. Help me turn my front yard 0:04:38.120 --> 0:04:42.320 into a trailer park. Please welcome the airstream contractor to 0:04:42.360 --> 0:04:48.240 the Star. I'm the Star, Scott Scott. Lovely to have you. 0:04:48.600 --> 0:04:50.400 Thank you, sir. What do you want to start with 0:04:50.600 --> 0:04:57.960 your fascinating and riveting life story or working on my 0:04:58.240 --> 0:04:59.240 actual airstream. 0:04:59.560 --> 0:05:00.640 Let's start the airstream. 0:05:00.760 --> 0:05:06.159 So I bought an airstream because that's what fucking people 0:05:06.240 --> 0:05:13.000 in Malibu do. Nineteen eighty seven thirty three foot Excelia. 0:05:13.480 --> 0:05:18.560 I paid twenty twenty three thousand dollars for it. It 0:05:18.640 --> 0:05:22.240 was destroyed. It's dented on the outside, the inside was 0:05:22.320 --> 0:05:25.520 pretty much gutted by the way I was allowed. I 0:05:25.520 --> 0:05:29.680 had agreed with my wife. We agreed on a nineteen foot, 0:05:30.360 --> 0:05:32.279 but they didn't have a nineteen foot. They had a 0:05:32.320 --> 0:05:35.000 thirty three foot and the guys I got to buy it. Now, man, 0:05:35.040 --> 0:05:37.599 these things are going quick, and I'm like, oh, okay, 0:05:37.880 --> 0:05:40.080 So I bought it. So I brought it back. Then 0:05:40.560 --> 0:05:43.800 I had to get it wedged in and that took 0:05:43.800 --> 0:05:47.839 about seven hours with fifteen people trying to wedge it 0:05:47.839 --> 0:05:50.400 into its little parking spot. My wife also said, you 0:05:50.640 --> 0:05:53.479 cannot get stressed out about this, so I was like, fine, 0:05:53.520 --> 0:05:55.840 it's just a fun little project. We're going to renovate 0:05:55.880 --> 0:05:59.480 an airstream, and by renovate, I'm going to hire someone 0:06:00.120 --> 0:06:04.200 to do all the work. Then lo and behold. My 0:06:04.400 --> 0:06:07.800 neighbor are couple houses down, but we're we're not gonna 0:06:07.800 --> 0:06:12.280 say who, but I live in a celebrity enclave. This 0:06:12.680 --> 0:06:17.080 person's Academy Award winning. They had bought an old airstream 0:06:17.560 --> 0:06:20.719 around the same time, and you had finished up on it. 0:06:20.760 --> 0:06:23.080 And I was like, oh, well, if it's good enough 0:06:23.080 --> 0:06:26.160 for an Academy Award winner, send this guy my way. 0:06:26.279 --> 0:06:28.800 I don't need to do any research. You had never 0:06:28.839 --> 0:06:36.040 really done this before. Correct? Correct? How did you get 0:06:36.320 --> 0:06:39.359 into building multiple airstreams on my street? 0:06:39.720 --> 0:06:41.360 Oh boy, it's a long story. 0:06:41.520 --> 0:06:42.040 That's good. 0:06:42.080 --> 0:06:44.320 As you know a little bit from the background. I'd 0:06:44.360 --> 0:06:46.120 worked in the movie industry for a while as a 0:06:46.160 --> 0:06:46.679 prop maker. 0:06:46.720 --> 0:06:48.640 I know a lot about you because one thing I'm 0:06:48.640 --> 0:06:52.479 going to tell people right now, you can talk. This 0:06:52.600 --> 0:06:56.120 is true all right, let's get into it, right, So 0:06:56.160 --> 0:06:58.560 you are a prop maker on movies. Yeah, I got 0:06:58.600 --> 0:07:00.760 into the film business later in life. I guess you'd 0:07:00.760 --> 0:07:02.120 say it was in my boy. I got into the 0:07:02.160 --> 0:07:04.920 prop making when I was forty. How old are you? 0:07:05.200 --> 0:07:07.520 I'm fifty four, You're fifty four. 0:07:07.920 --> 0:07:10.040 You still look good? You look I mean well, I 0:07:10.080 --> 0:07:11.680 mean you still look good. You look good. 0:07:12.080 --> 0:07:14.480 When I finally got into working in props, I'd already 0:07:14.560 --> 0:07:16.880 had a stint in just about every trade for a 0:07:16.920 --> 0:07:19.040 little while. Okay, when you work in props, there's no 0:07:19.120 --> 0:07:22.000 rules on how to do anything, so I had free 0:07:22.040 --> 0:07:24.040 reign to kind of pull from all the experience of 0:07:24.080 --> 0:07:26.240 all the different trades and maybe really good at being 0:07:26.240 --> 0:07:28.120 a prop maker. It gave me a lot of advantages 0:07:28.320 --> 0:07:29.000 with props. 0:07:29.000 --> 0:07:32.000 Though in television, it doesn't matter if it lasts long, 0:07:32.040 --> 0:07:34.960 It doesn't matter if it functions well. In my experience, 0:07:35.440 --> 0:07:38.120 it just matters if it looks good and does what 0:07:38.200 --> 0:07:40.920 they needed to do for that split moment that it's 0:07:41.000 --> 0:07:44.440 on film, which is terrifying when it comes to needing 0:07:44.480 --> 0:07:47.840 someone to build you a home that someone's going to 0:07:47.920 --> 0:07:51.360 live in and drive down the road. Right, all right, 0:07:51.440 --> 0:07:51.680 go on? 0:07:52.040 --> 0:07:54.840 When I got to working on your airstream in particular, 0:07:55.320 --> 0:07:57.320 because I'd worked in construction and whatnot, I had some 0:07:57.400 --> 0:08:02.120 experience about what it would take to create something some longevity, okay, right, 0:08:02.200 --> 0:08:04.680 And I kind of put the pressure on myself to 0:08:04.720 --> 0:08:07.240 be moving fast like you would for a film shoot. 0:08:07.360 --> 0:08:07.760 Uh huh. 0:08:07.760 --> 0:08:10.120 But I was able to settle in and say, well, 0:08:10.200 --> 0:08:11.680 I got to build this as if I'm going to 0:08:11.760 --> 0:08:13.320 live in it, you know. That's the only way I 0:08:13.320 --> 0:08:15.360 could figure it out. So I kind of end up 0:08:15.360 --> 0:08:16.880 taking a little more time than I would have liked, 0:08:17.120 --> 0:08:19.760 But everything I did was based on the idea you're 0:08:19.800 --> 0:08:21.760 probably gonna want to enjoy it for a good ten 0:08:21.840 --> 0:08:22.480 twenty years. 0:08:22.680 --> 0:08:27.400 My wife was pregnant right when you were coming aboard 0:08:27.400 --> 0:08:31.240 to start the job, and we talked briefly and I said, Scott, 0:08:31.600 --> 0:08:33.839 how long is this going to take? I need this 0:08:33.920 --> 0:08:38.840 finished by her the birth of my daughter. And you 0:08:38.880 --> 0:08:43.160 said you said no problem, did you not? You said 0:08:43.240 --> 0:08:45.760 no problem? I believe I said that, yes, right right, 0:08:45.760 --> 0:08:48.400 you said two months. I can do this in two months. 0:08:48.600 --> 0:08:50.080 I believed I could get it done in two months, 0:08:50.160 --> 0:08:55.719 right now. It took eleven about it took It might 0:08:55.720 --> 0:08:58.160 have been more like nine nine months. Fine, the same 0:08:58.160 --> 0:09:00.199 amount of time it took my wife to grow a 0:09:00.320 --> 0:09:04.079 human in her belly? Is how long? Here's the thing. 0:09:04.320 --> 0:09:07.920 I don't care two months or nine months. I mean, 0:09:07.920 --> 0:09:10.120 I just finished going through construction. Hell I had, I 0:09:10.160 --> 0:09:13.200 had the Wolseley fire that burnt my house. I had 0:09:13.240 --> 0:09:16.000 four years of permits to build my house than another 0:09:16.120 --> 0:09:19.760 four years like so, I've seen real delays, So this 0:09:20.040 --> 0:09:22.559 it didn't really bother me. But I felt like it 0:09:22.679 --> 0:09:25.880 you you felt a little bit of pressure. I did 0:09:25.920 --> 0:09:28.040 feel a lot of pressure. I was was it was 0:09:28.080 --> 0:09:29.000 I putting it on you? 0:09:29.040 --> 0:09:31.480 No, it was more like I made the commitment and 0:09:31.520 --> 0:09:33.160 that at some point I realized, Wow, this is a 0:09:33.200 --> 0:09:35.280 lot more effort than I was expecting, all. 0:09:35.200 --> 0:09:37.000 Right, because you had never done it before, not on 0:09:37.120 --> 0:09:42.800 that size. Now, I didn't have any real plans. Were 0:09:42.840 --> 0:09:47.199 you at any point going like, ah, this guy's no 0:09:47.360 --> 0:09:50.000 idea what he's talking about? Or were you like fine 0:09:50.040 --> 0:09:51.240 with how vague I was. 0:09:51.600 --> 0:09:54.120 I've done a couple of other builds, making small homes. 0:09:54.160 --> 0:09:57.199 I converted a van for somebody once, and I did 0:09:57.200 --> 0:09:59.840 other similar work. I just kind of knew I'm going 0:09:59.920 --> 0:10:01.520 to get this thing cleared I'll get a couple of 0:10:01.559 --> 0:10:04.120 walls in where he wants it, and once he starts 0:10:04.120 --> 0:10:06.840 to see it look like a house, that's when the 0:10:06.880 --> 0:10:09.679 wish list will come out. I would like this detail here. 0:10:10.440 --> 0:10:12.920 Usually comes in the form of hey, I was just thinking, 0:10:13.000 --> 0:10:15.960 could you and then you throw out something that probably 0:10:15.960 --> 0:10:17.400 wasn't discussed at any given point. 0:10:17.480 --> 0:10:20.000 I mean, I feel like I had stayed pretty true 0:10:20.040 --> 0:10:22.839 to what I wanted the whole way through. You're pretty good? Yeah, okay, 0:10:22.880 --> 0:10:24.559 do you remember what your quote was for me of 0:10:25.040 --> 0:10:27.720 how much it was gonna cost? I don't remember. Fifty 0:10:27.800 --> 0:10:30.120 four thousand, okay, because what you gave me as a 0:10:30.200 --> 0:10:33.160 quote will be come in fifty two to fifty three, seventy, 0:10:33.280 --> 0:10:40.800 seventy seventy. But again, guess what I think that was? Perfect? Okay, good, 0:10:40.800 --> 0:10:42.480 I don't have any I don't have any problem with that. 0:10:42.920 --> 0:10:45.199 If you give me a quote of fifty four and 0:10:45.240 --> 0:10:48.480 we it's seventy is the actual that? To me is 0:10:48.880 --> 0:10:51.400 an honest person, you can tell your builder look at that. 0:10:51.480 --> 0:10:53.560 You got yourself a up. No, I just meant just 0:10:53.600 --> 0:10:57.200 the one dead nail that you smashed. Yeah, are you 0:10:57.320 --> 0:10:58.400 licensed and bonded? 0:10:58.480 --> 0:11:02.720 I am no, not at all. 0:11:02.160 --> 0:11:05.240 Uh. I don't even know what license in bonded means. 0:11:05.280 --> 0:11:07.679 I just know I've read that my entire life on 0:11:07.880 --> 0:11:10.400 the side of people's trucks. Does that mean that? Uh? 0:11:11.160 --> 0:11:12.800 That that that if you fall and get hurt in 0:11:12.840 --> 0:11:14.920 my yard, that you can't sue me. No, not at all. 0:11:15.280 --> 0:11:15.880 I could. 0:11:16.200 --> 0:11:17.559 I could totally suit you. 0:11:17.880 --> 0:11:19.600 Oh man, that would have been horrible. 0:11:19.679 --> 0:11:22.360 That's my that's my future healthcare plan. 0:11:23.040 --> 0:11:25.680 How many times estimate do you think you peed in 0:11:25.679 --> 0:11:26.120 my yard? 0:11:26.679 --> 0:11:30.560 It was nine months, God, it was a lot. 0:11:30.880 --> 0:11:34.280 Let me tell you something. A potocarpus can only take 0:11:34.440 --> 0:11:36.800 so much of your urine. 0:11:37.520 --> 0:11:39.160 Then that would be the plant right behind the gate 0:11:39.160 --> 0:11:40.160 that looked like it was dying. 0:11:40.320 --> 0:11:44.640 Yes, yeah, not, I apologize. Not only did it look 0:11:44.679 --> 0:11:46.880 like you were aiming for the drain underneath it? I 0:11:46.880 --> 0:11:50.560 could tell, right because but there's just dead leaves all 0:11:50.600 --> 0:11:53.600 around it. And then I want to point out, by 0:11:53.600 --> 0:11:57.120 the way, always invited to come into my home, you 0:11:57.160 --> 0:11:58.679 never chose to do that. You never knocked on the 0:11:58.720 --> 0:11:59.960 door and said I used to the bathroom. You are 0:12:00.000 --> 0:12:03.280 always you always went out to the side of the yard. 0:12:03.720 --> 0:12:07.800 But the stench after a while I had to start 0:12:07.920 --> 0:12:10.120 I want you to know I had a weakly hose 0:12:10.240 --> 0:12:15.120 down that area, just to be fair. It wasn't just 0:12:15.240 --> 0:12:19.120 me agreed, And to be fair, I told you, hey, 0:12:19.200 --> 0:12:22.000 if I'm not here, ever, you can go pee right here. 0:12:23.160 --> 0:12:23.920 That is a spot. 0:12:24.120 --> 0:12:25.720 And I do remember in the beginning I made an 0:12:25.720 --> 0:12:27.679 effort to move around that space and try to hit 0:12:27.720 --> 0:12:31.000 different plants. 0:12:32.000 --> 0:12:34.960 Then I kind of lost enthusiasm. And why are airstream 0:12:35.040 --> 0:12:36.120 such a pain in the ass. 0:12:36.280 --> 0:12:38.280 They seem like when you walk around and start looking 0:12:38.280 --> 0:12:42.880 at the construction, very simple, elegant and effective. And I 0:12:42.920 --> 0:12:45.560 think that all the ones who were doing remodels on 0:12:45.600 --> 0:12:47.679 have been driven down the road for a couple hundred 0:12:47.679 --> 0:12:49.360 thousand miles and just had the ship beat out of them. 0:12:49.520 --> 0:12:53.800 You can't have something put together with ten thousand rivets 0:12:54.080 --> 0:12:58.800 and be forty years old and not leak. How much 0:12:58.840 --> 0:13:01.040 time did you spend sealing her up? 0:13:01.080 --> 0:13:04.640 I think we dedicated two solid weeks just to fixing 0:13:04.679 --> 0:13:07.600 the leaks, and then boy throw out a couple different rains. 0:13:07.960 --> 0:13:09.719 All the rest of the project, we discover a few more, 0:13:09.760 --> 0:13:11.080 and yeah, it was. 0:13:11.320 --> 0:13:13.880 Oh, Airstreams should sponsor this show, and then I could 0:13:14.120 --> 0:13:17.679 film this show out of an airstream. You airstream. Give 0:13:17.760 --> 0:13:20.600 us a brand new airstream, one of the beautiful ones 0:13:20.640 --> 0:13:23.360 to a big, huge one. All right, good? Did my 0:13:23.520 --> 0:13:27.560 driveway chickens bother you? Only they're aroma? Oh? Really? 0:13:27.640 --> 0:13:29.360 There was a I'm not sure if it was your 0:13:29.400 --> 0:13:32.839 sewers backing up, but for like about an hour every day, 0:13:32.880 --> 0:13:33.240 there'd be. 0:13:33.240 --> 0:13:35.400 A bit of a stench emanating from right around there. 0:13:35.559 --> 0:13:37.480 I guess I never noticed my chicken smelling. 0:13:37.640 --> 0:13:40.040 It was kind of disturbing to look at them, watch 0:13:40.080 --> 0:13:42.000 them do their thing. They turn around in that area 0:13:42.040 --> 0:13:44.280 around the Kloaco would be kind of muddy and mucky. 0:13:44.960 --> 0:13:46.080 That was kind of hard to look at. 0:13:46.240 --> 0:13:48.199 Did you ever learn my chickens names? Oh? 0:13:48.360 --> 0:13:52.679 Boy? You told them once? Told me once their grandparents 0:13:52.760 --> 0:13:53.199 right there? 0:13:53.200 --> 0:13:56.560 Oh good memory? Betty, Katie and Hazel. 0:13:57.000 --> 0:13:58.400 I couldn't tell you which one was which. 0:13:58.520 --> 0:14:01.120 Betty is black? All you have to me o black baby. 0:14:01.400 --> 0:14:03.400 I liked having you out in the driveway because that's 0:14:03.400 --> 0:14:06.199 always always fun to come out there and see the progress, 0:14:06.320 --> 0:14:10.040 or see your frustration, or watch you. I don't mean 0:14:10.040 --> 0:14:13.760 this in a disrespectful way. Are you a little clumsy boy? 0:14:13.840 --> 0:14:15.720 Sure wasn't your driveway that time around? 0:14:16.200 --> 0:14:19.120 I felt like I've watched you stumble in and out 0:14:19.320 --> 0:14:20.280 of that airstream. 0:14:20.360 --> 0:14:23.120 Man, I could I could not negotiate the depth of 0:14:23.120 --> 0:14:23.680 that step. 0:14:23.880 --> 0:14:26.000 I don't know what it was. For four months, it 0:14:26.080 --> 0:14:29.280 was just your toolbox. Yes, and how many ms you 0:14:29.320 --> 0:14:30.560 hit your head getting out of the. 0:14:30.480 --> 0:14:34.160 Airstreams twice once in the beginning, huh, and you you know, 0:14:34.240 --> 0:14:36.600 generally do that once. It's like, okay, I've established that height. 0:14:36.640 --> 0:14:39.560 And then boy, towards the end, I got myself good. 0:14:39.400 --> 0:14:41.200 By the way you had help at the beginning. The 0:14:41.200 --> 0:14:46.200 people that you would bring no experience in building either. 0:14:46.640 --> 0:14:49.120 It's like you're like, oh, this guy is a writer 0:14:49.560 --> 0:14:52.640 and he's got some time off, so he's just gonna 0:14:52.640 --> 0:14:55.200 help me. Then he brought one guy over to work 0:14:55.360 --> 0:15:01.720 and he wouldn't stop insisting on painting mural in the bedroom. 0:15:01.720 --> 0:15:03.720 And I was like, I don't want a fucking mural, man, 0:15:03.800 --> 0:15:06.640 How do I say this nicely? You could have just 0:15:06.640 --> 0:15:08.800 said it just like that. I didn't. I just said no, 0:15:09.200 --> 0:15:11.280 I think we're good, or my wife's going to handle 0:15:11.440 --> 0:15:14.560 the artwork, and he's like, no, I tell him I 0:15:14.640 --> 0:15:16.360 want to paint a mural in here. 0:15:16.480 --> 0:15:18.000 I think when he heard your wife was going to 0:15:18.040 --> 0:15:20.320 handle the artwork. He was really nervous for you. 0:15:20.440 --> 0:15:21.040 That was Nate. 0:15:21.200 --> 0:15:22.920 Nate, if you're listening, wonderful work. 0:15:23.240 --> 0:15:25.240 You did great work. Just you know. 0:15:25.400 --> 0:15:27.960 Nate's actually a fine art painter. That's sort of his 0:15:28.040 --> 0:15:30.040 miliu is bringing that sort of life to things. 0:15:30.080 --> 0:15:35.960 Here's the difference between a white person in construction versus 0:15:36.440 --> 0:15:38.920 a lot of times the Latin appeal. They would be 0:15:38.960 --> 0:15:43.200 in my driveway at six a m. Till two thirty. 0:15:43.560 --> 0:15:47.760 They avoid traffic on both sides. You different style, show 0:15:47.800 --> 0:15:53.200 up around eleven, stay till it's uncomfortable, and I'm walking 0:15:53.240 --> 0:15:56.520 outside at nine him telling you, hey, fucking wrap this. 0:15:57.520 --> 0:16:00.760 We have a noise ordinance. Yeah, I try coming earlier. 0:16:01.240 --> 0:16:03.000 There's just so much traffic from the part of time 0:16:03.000 --> 0:16:04.160 I was coming, I mean there was kind of no 0:16:04.200 --> 0:16:06.320 way to avoid it. And then when I was on 0:16:06.360 --> 0:16:09.640 a schedule to get started better, I was stopping at 0:16:09.680 --> 0:16:12.600 one of three different home depots almost every day. 0:16:12.680 --> 0:16:15.440 Our all home depot layouts the same, pretty damn close. 0:16:15.640 --> 0:16:17.520 You know your way around real well, I think so. Yeah, 0:16:17.560 --> 0:16:19.240 you ever asked for help or no, No. 0:16:19.240 --> 0:16:20.240 I don't need to ask for help. 0:16:20.480 --> 0:16:23.000 That's growing though, By the way, what's the best power 0:16:23.080 --> 0:16:24.600 to uh to buy? 0:16:24.800 --> 0:16:27.200 You're talking brand or the brand brand? Oh boy, I 0:16:27.200 --> 0:16:29.520 think right now Milwaukee is probably the best Milwaukee. 0:16:29.680 --> 0:16:31.920 I think I've got Milwaukee, Milwaukee. Why don't you send 0:16:31.960 --> 0:16:34.320 me some more shit? I love Milwaukee. They should be 0:16:34.320 --> 0:16:37.080 a sponsor to this podcast. Milwaukee. I don't think I 0:16:37.120 --> 0:16:41.320 have Milwaukee. I think I have Makita. Is Mkeita not good? 0:16:42.080 --> 0:16:43.120 If you like that sort of thing? 0:16:43.240 --> 0:16:46.000 What does that mean? That seems like, well, they're they're. 0:16:45.840 --> 0:16:47.920 Asian designed and made, so they're a little more elegant, 0:16:48.160 --> 0:16:50.920 and we Americans like things that hit hard and bash things. 0:16:50.960 --> 0:16:53.880 So Milwaukee and do Walt pack a little more punch 0:16:54.120 --> 0:16:55.760 with the interesting interest? 0:16:55.960 --> 0:16:59.920 Sweired? How everything? You know? There's there's there's a lot 0:17:00.440 --> 0:17:04.399 that are drawn. I'm not foreign to work in with 0:17:04.480 --> 0:17:06.320 tools or you think I am. 0:17:06.520 --> 0:17:07.760 You didn't look particularly handy. 0:17:08.359 --> 0:17:11.800 WHOA. I'll give you this though. 0:17:12.359 --> 0:17:15.520 When you talked about adding that little badge or emblem 0:17:15.680 --> 0:17:18.119 to the electric car you got for your son, you 0:17:18.200 --> 0:17:19.960 talked about the hardware, and you said, how would I 0:17:19.960 --> 0:17:22.280 go about this? And I said double stick tape. And 0:17:22.320 --> 0:17:24.480 I realized I could see the reaction on your face, 0:17:24.480 --> 0:17:26.640 and Daniel actually knows what I'm talking about in this. 0:17:26.920 --> 0:17:27.960 Well that I know what doubles. 0:17:28.359 --> 0:17:31.040 He realized it was a better option than using hardware 0:17:31.080 --> 0:17:33.720 to penetrate the surface of the brand new car. 0:17:34.560 --> 0:17:37.359 All Right, I gave you a few points so I 0:17:37.440 --> 0:17:40.680 know how to tape something. It wasn't Eddie here. He 0:17:41.520 --> 0:17:45.760 has a little cabin in Tahoe and all the time 0:17:46.359 --> 0:17:48.520 just as like, oh, I'm putting in a new bathroom 0:17:48.680 --> 0:17:51.080 and I'm like, I know you you don't have any 0:17:51.359 --> 0:17:54.640 ability to do this, And he's like, yeah, we watch 0:17:54.720 --> 0:17:57.919 YouTube figures you figured out and he does it and 0:17:58.040 --> 0:18:01.919 does it look good? It doesn't look it looks better, 0:18:02.280 --> 0:18:05.439 but it also looks like somebody that oh this was 0:18:05.440 --> 0:18:08.720 your first time. Good, good try. Yeah, I'm gonna show 0:18:08.760 --> 0:18:11.360 photos of your bathroom like a grade schooler. You can. 0:18:11.480 --> 0:18:15.119 I mean, it does look better, it looks better. It 0:18:15.200 --> 0:18:17.520 doesn't it doesn't look it does doesn't look amazing. I 0:18:17.560 --> 0:18:20.160 wouldn't say it amazing, but that you know, that could 0:18:20.160 --> 0:18:22.439 be some of your design choices. And that's just you know, 0:18:22.680 --> 0:18:25.040 a difference of an opinion. By the way, were there 0:18:25.080 --> 0:18:30.080 any of my uh decorating or design ideas that you thought, 0:18:30.200 --> 0:18:32.920 this is not gonna look good or colored choices, And 0:18:33.000 --> 0:18:34.919 now that you see it, go okay. 0:18:35.200 --> 0:18:36.840 I was not a fan of the penny tile in 0:18:36.840 --> 0:18:40.080 the shower. Oh interesting, I like penny tile, but the 0:18:40.160 --> 0:18:43.600 color was I know something about it. It just it 0:18:43.440 --> 0:18:44.359 just didn't work for me. 0:18:44.760 --> 0:18:45.760 Pink. Yeah. 0:18:46.440 --> 0:18:48.760 Yeah, Well, normally in a shower you would have if 0:18:48.800 --> 0:18:50.679 you're gonna go with penny tile, it would it's normally 0:18:50.720 --> 0:18:53.080 on the floor, uh huh, and you would counter it 0:18:53.119 --> 0:18:54.679 with something else on the walls where we just kind 0:18:54.680 --> 0:18:56.920 of went everywhere in it. Yeah, it does look better 0:18:56.960 --> 0:18:59.679 now that it's complete. Now, once we had the hardwood 0:18:59.720 --> 0:19:01.600 floor and then we had the off white everywhere, and 0:19:01.600 --> 0:19:02.960 then the two wallpapered walls. 0:19:03.040 --> 0:19:03.399 Huh. 0:19:03.400 --> 0:19:05.760 That helped quite a bit. But you still don't seem 0:19:05.760 --> 0:19:07.199 like you like it to this day. It would not 0:19:07.240 --> 0:19:08.000 be my choice. 0:19:08.920 --> 0:19:12.520 You're completely wrong. Let me tell you something. Everyone everyone 0:19:12.600 --> 0:19:16.080 loves that shower. I'll stand corrected. When I first met you, 0:19:16.200 --> 0:19:22.120 we started talking about in your life. Interesting, fascinating, fascinating 0:19:22.200 --> 0:19:24.240 for sure. Okay, can we get into it, go for 0:19:24.280 --> 0:19:26.960 it all right, Let's start with just off the top 0:19:27.000 --> 0:19:30.240 of my head, you were adopted. 0:19:30.680 --> 0:19:34.000 Yes, so I grew up in San Diego, and my 0:19:34.119 --> 0:19:36.159 parents told me from a very early age that I 0:19:36.200 --> 0:19:38.359 was adopted at birth. We didn't really get into it. 0:19:38.400 --> 0:19:40.040 So you were born in Sandigo, I was born in 0:19:40.080 --> 0:19:42.239 San Diego. Yes, I was actually come to find out. 0:19:42.320 --> 0:19:44.400 I was released to them the very next day. 0:19:44.560 --> 0:19:47.679 Ah. Okay, so it was probably during the pregnancy. This 0:19:47.840 --> 0:19:49.560 was all worked out correct, huh. 0:19:49.600 --> 0:19:52.520 And then I grew to fifty years old not really 0:19:52.560 --> 0:19:53.760 knowing anything else about it. 0:19:53.840 --> 0:19:56.960 I never wanted to, not really because I felt like 0:19:56.960 --> 0:19:59.440 I had my family, of course, you know. But still 0:19:59.760 --> 0:20:03.240 I've looked into adoption before. I'm not I've been very 0:20:03.280 --> 0:20:06.080 interested in it my whole life of adopting a child, 0:20:06.280 --> 0:20:09.800 I thought. But my wife wanted to have her own children, 0:20:10.600 --> 0:20:13.280
