Speaker 1: um yeah, so playing a lot of easy talk. Marshall

11
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:40,159
Speaker 1: did our news for how many years did you do?

12
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:44,880
Speaker 1: It was grand total of fourteen years? Really, yes, I know, wow,

13
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 1: I know. God time goes by and I thought about that.

14
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:50,559
Speaker 1: You know the other thing too, because I have been

15
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,199
Speaker 1: retired now for a while and it has certainly not

16
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 1: been boring. But one thing I keep wondering when I

17
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:59,279
Speaker 1: wake up is what day is? It? Is that something

18
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 1: that happens to every time My kids are that way

19
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 1: you beat out of school, and they have never they

20
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 1: have have no idea if it's a Monday or a Saturday. Exactly.

21
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:08,400
Speaker 1: You know, so I have to I have to mendally

22
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 1: make a cue. Okay, what date, let's look at the

23
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 1: all right, we know what day it is. So you

24
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 1: did you retired December nineteen? Yeah, so so had the news?

25
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 1: Had you done the news about a virus in China

26
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 1: at that point show? Yeah, we did, We did mention it,

27
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 1: and I was I think I had mentioned that I

28
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 1: heard in the BBC. I was following it because I,

29
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 1: you know, would wake up early, early in the morning

30
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 1: and I would be, you know, here in the BBC

31
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 1: they were talking about, oh, there's nineteen cases of this

32
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 1: mysterious and then the next day it was there's twenty

33
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 1: nine cases. The next day it was there's four cases.

34
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 1: So you retired, and then three months later the whole

35
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 1: world shuts down. Yes, yes, yes, to put a damper

36
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 1: on some of your plans for your first year retirement.

37
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 1: My first year of retirement was pretty much spent at home.

38
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 1: I think I I think I called one time and

39
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 1: was telling you how I was building this whole uh

40
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 1: tribute to Chardonnay bottle. I had a pyramid. I had

41
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:20,359
Speaker 1: a Chardonnay bottle pyramid out in front of my house here,

42
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,399
Speaker 1: you're you're in the age group that you know where

43
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 1: it's pretty deadly for and there was no vaccine at

44
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 1: the time, so heck, yeah, yeah, no, I mean, and

45
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 1: the good I think good thing was I did use

46
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: the time. I have moved twice in the last year

47
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 1: and a half, no, three twice, now twice. Yeah, I

48
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 1: was trying to figure out because I've been bouncing around

49
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,359
Speaker 1: from a lot of places. But I used the time

50
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,959
Speaker 1: to actually clear out the rest of the the stuff

51
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 1: from my mom's home. She had passed away a few

52
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 1: years before, So I got all of that out of

53
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 1: the house and then got the got it rehabbed and

54
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 1: everything else, and then put it up for sale. While wow,

55
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: all this was still going on, no vaccine, COVID restrictions

56
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 1: mass everywhere, and it was pretty challenging. But it did

57
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 1: give me something to do. I wasn't just sitting at

58
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 1: home going okay, now what yeah, And you know, luckily

59
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: it's the age of the internet and everything like that,

60
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 1: so you can be in contact with people or fallow

61
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 1: the news or whatever like it would have been thirty

62
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 1: years ago or whatever. Um, so just what's your overall

63
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 1: taking this? I mean, in terms of in terms of

64
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: interesting things that have happened on planet Earth, even for

65
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 1: a guy of your worldly nature, it has to stand out.

66
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: Is is A is a pretty big one. I was

67
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 1: not around for the Spanish flu, so this is the

68
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 1: first pandemic I have ever. You know, lived through things,

69
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 1: knock on wood, lived through and I I gotta tell you,

70
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you you're vaccinated. At this point five times,

71
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 1: you know, I ben't. I used another name and got

72
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 1: more No, but I do have to tell you. I

73
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 1: know everybody wants to get back to normal, and I

74
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 1: really appreciate that. But when all of a sudden, you know,

75
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 1: they said, I take your mass off and have a

76
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 1: good time, I'm kind of going, okay, but let's be careful.

77
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: And now we've we've got this what do they call it,

78
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 1: the uh delta? The delta you know variety. I can

79
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 1: imagine it does look differently if you're a susceptible age group,

80
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 1: where you know this could really make you sick. Um,

81
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:35,160
Speaker 1: And you know, if you're under if you're under sixty,

82
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 1: really it's not that deadly. And if certainly if you're

83
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,839
Speaker 1: under forty, it's very unlikely you would kill you. But um,

84
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:43,480
Speaker 1: you know you probably feel the same way my parents.

85
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 1: And my parents took it very seriously. Oh yeah, no,

86
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 1: there's no doubt about it. And as soon as I

87
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,839
Speaker 1: could get vaccinated, I did. You know, I'm really glad

88
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 1: I did, because you know, that's one less thing you

89
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 1: have to worry about yourself, to be cautious. But you're

90
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 1: not like, oh my god, now because now when you're

91
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: in retirement, when when I don't have a job to

92
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 1: come to every day, every little thing becomes a huge

93
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:12,600
Speaker 1: epic with me. I've noticed that with retired people. I

94
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 1: am on the phone daily to my friends scattered about

95
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 1: the country, you know, got going ranting and raving about

96
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 1: any number of things. Now they're kind of expecting it.

97
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,159
Speaker 1: You know, if I don't call at least every couple

98
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 1: of days, and they called me, you know, just afraid

99
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 1: I may have exploded. So I was gonna ask you

100
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 1: about you and your friends in your set. So you're

101
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 1: an old hippie who hung around with hippies back in

102
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:44,599
Speaker 1: the day, and um, a lot of your older liberals

103
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 1: that that I follow are kind of looking at some

104
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 1: of their fellow younger liberals and saying, what is going

105
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 1: on with you? People, And uh, I wonder if you've

106
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 1: noticed in you that among your crowd, amongst my crowd,

107
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 1: I will I will tell you something. A lot of

108
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:05,600
Speaker 1: my crowd, people that I've known since I was thirteen

109
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 1: and we all went through many things together, are much

110
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,599
Speaker 1: more liberal and I am so they're so they're joining

111
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 1: in with more of the younger wolf crown. Oh yeah,

112
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 1: very much so, very much so. And you know, we

113
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:22,159
Speaker 1: have spirited discussions about you know, we don't get too

114
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 1: heavy into politics, but mostly policy. I just think it's

115
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 1: interesting that the crowd that was always so suspicious of

116
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 1: the FBI and the CIA in general, a lot of

117
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,719
Speaker 1: those people now that they're they're all hail the FBI

118
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 1: and c I A. Are are our masters who will

119
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 1: keep us safe. And I'm like, where did that come from.

120
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 1: I do have a couple of friends that have surprised

121
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,720
Speaker 1: me over the years, and you know, I will look

122
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,600
Speaker 1: at them and pictures of them and announced that you're

123
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 1: looking very prosperous because I've noticed that their waist size

124
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 1: has expanded amazingly. Oh yeah, yes, and they're looking very

125
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 1: prosperous these days. In general, what, um, what has surprised

126
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 1: you about retirement, because I remember asking my dad. I

127
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,599
Speaker 1: like to ask retired people this question because I hope

128
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 1: to be retired someday years from now. But what's what

129
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 1: surprised you? What didn't surprise you about retirement? Well? What has? Well, yeah,

130
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 1: what's to surprise me? Or what I've had to have

131
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 1: a realization about is make sure when you retire you

132
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 1: got some kind of hobby, something else to do, because, uh,

133
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 1: after my second move, now, there have been a few

134
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 1: days where I'm going, okay, now what But fortunately things

135
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 1: keep coming up and I have to deal with. So

136
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 1: I haven't, like I said, I haven't been born, but

137
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: I can see a time down the line if I

138
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 1: don't get bitty and start to you know, salsa dancing

139
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 1: or something again, you know it, you really are sort

140
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: of faced with Okay, now, I know my my dad's

141
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 1: younger brother. I remember him asking, he said, what are

142
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 1: you gonna do when you retire? You don't golf? You

143
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 1: don't fish, right, I mean, you know, because like Joeseph Golfer,

144
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: that's that's how he pictures retirement is playing golf. I

145
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 1: get it. All. I know fishermen who can't can't wait

146
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 1: to the idea that they're gonna be able to fish

147
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 1: every single day. But if you don't have one of

148
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 1: those things, I don't um, you do have to do

149
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 1: something um and And you know, most people, their whole

150
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 1: lives of working, can't wait till the day when they

151
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 1: don't have to work anymore. But there's a lot of

152
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 1: time in a day, day after day after day. You

153
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 1: got to do something. Oh yeah, oh yeah. The other

154
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 1: thing too is a lot of my really close friends

155
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 1: do not live anywhere near me. So again it's like, hey,

156
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 1: how you doing on the phone. How about the sense

157
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 1: of who you are? If you had any problem with that?

158
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 1: Because so many people, I think particularly men, defined themselves

159
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:40,839
Speaker 1: by their job, by their job, And when you don't

160
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 1: have that, have you had any problem with? Who? Who

161
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 1: am I? What am I? No that I that I

162
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 1: haven't had any problem with? Well, now I gotta I

163
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 1: got a bullet for you. I have given up the grape.

164
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 1: All booze are just wine. I have given up the grape.

165
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:03,320
Speaker 1: I'll put it that way. No, just just because how

166
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,559
Speaker 1: do I put it? After I built the temple to

167
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,199
Speaker 1: Chardonnay for that year and a half, I just thought,

168
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:15,679
Speaker 1: you know, dude, let's try something else. Yeah, yes, So

169
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 1: did you feel that it was starting to play too

170
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 1: much of a role in your life? Yeah? The thing, Oh,

171
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:21,679
Speaker 1: I'll tell you this, the one thing you got to

172
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 1: be careful of when you're when you are a retired gentleman.

173
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 1: If you don't have immediate family around you, you know,

174
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:32,959
Speaker 1: occupy you. Boredom is your worst enemy, you know. Just okay,

175
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 1: Like we were saying, all right, it's two in the afternoon. Again,

176
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,439
Speaker 1: it's the now what do I do? Question? So you

177
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 1: gotta try and figure out some other ways, new ways

178
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 1: to occupy yourself. You're for people who don't know Marshall

179
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 1: Phillips who did the news for us for many, many

180
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 1: years and retired a couple of years ago and never married,

181
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 1: no children, right, so still a couple of lady friends around. Yes,

182
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 1: Michael's got a question. Yeah, you're still playing the lottery, Marshall. Yes,

183
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:03,080
Speaker 1: I am scratchers. You still have that hobby? Oh? Yes,

184
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 1: oh yes, And I will tell you this without try

185
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,200
Speaker 1: bragging too much. I don't know if I mentioned on

186
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 1: a day if your wedding, Michael, Yeah, I had purchased

187
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 1: a scratcher and after your wedding I came home and

188
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 1: I scratched it. I won six hundred and seventy lucky day.

189
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:29,079
Speaker 1: That was Michael's wedding. Well, I told you I waited

190
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 1: till after the ceremony to do that. I got another

191
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:35,199
Speaker 1: question from Marshall Phillips, a legendary newsperson. I mean we

192
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 1: haven't even mentioned that legendary a broadcaster at some of

193
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 1: the biggest stations in the history of radio over the years.

194
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 1: So it was a week ago tonight that Joe Biden

195
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 1: said at that CNN town hall, if you get vaccinated,

196
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,439
Speaker 1: you will not have to wear a mask. I repeat,

197
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 1: if you get vaccinated, you will not have to wear

198
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 1: a mask. He said it twice, and within a couple

199
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 1: of days the White House changed directions. You gotta remember

200
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,679
Speaker 1: there following the science or following the science. So they

201
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:04,560
Speaker 1: claim Marshall Phillips joins us he was our news guy

202
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 1: for I didn't realize it was fourteen years that you

203
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 1: did that. Was that the longest radio gig you had

204
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:13,680
Speaker 1: in your tire luster's career, Yes, yes it was. I

205
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 1: had a couple of eleven year runs, a couple of

206
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 1: eight year runs, and a whole lot of six month

207
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:23,320
Speaker 1: runs and two year runs and you know how it has,

208
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 1: how it is um so without getting it we were

209
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 1: Marshall was just telling me a little story up there.

210
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:31,680
Speaker 1: Did you run the red light? Do you think you

211
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:37,439
Speaker 1: ran the red light? No, I I admitted, I have admitted, yes,

212
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 1: I I ran the red light. I wasn't aware i'd

213
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 1: run the red light, but they had a picture of me,

214
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 1: you know, And so and again I just moved into

215
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 1: this area and every intersection has cameras. And how big

216
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 1: is the ticket for that five and sixty chunk of money? Man? Yes?

217
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 1: So no, I paid it up. That's the first moving

218
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 1: elation I've had, probably in thirty five forty years. Well,

219
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 1: the only reason I bring it up is you once

220
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 1: went to jail, Yes, for driving tickets parking, which are

221
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:14,319
Speaker 1: not a moving viol No. No, And you didn't pay

222
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 1: your parking tickets in l A County. It was in Fullerton,

223
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 1: Orange County. And you know the bottom line was no,

224
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 1: I paid parking tickets like crazy. But I was working nights,

225
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:29,960
Speaker 1: sleeping in the daytime, and where I lived, you had

226
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 1: two hour parking in front of your house two hours,

227
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 1: so every two hours you gotta move your car. Yes,

228
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:40,439
Speaker 1: I had to wake up, move my car, go back

229
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:45,319
Speaker 1: to sleep, wake up, moved my car. That's unrealistic way

230
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 1: to live. And I went when I moved in, when

231
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 1: we rented this house, I moved, I went to the

232
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 1: police department, said, hey, listen, I've I've just moved in.

233
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 1: Here's my lease agreement and everything. Can I get a

234
00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,680
Speaker 1: you know, residents sticker, so you know, to deal with

235
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 1: the park They said, nope, no, we don't. We don't

236
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 1: offer those but that but that's that's crazy because you

237
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 1: have to be parked somewhere. So you're just gonna what

238
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:11,440
Speaker 1: difference does it make whether you take up this spot

239
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 1: for four straight hours, where you take up two different

240
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 1: spots two hours each, It doesn't make any difference in

241
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 1: terms of the number of spots available. And so I

242
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 1: would still even though I was getting moving the car around,

243
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:23,959
Speaker 1: I was still getting You would you would actually set

244
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,840
Speaker 1: your alarm. So this is when you so you working nights,

245
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:28,719
Speaker 1: This is actually like your your this is when you're

246
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 1: supposed to get your eight to ten hours. So you

247
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:33,199
Speaker 1: would set your alarm and wake up every two hours

248
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:36,440
Speaker 1: and go move your car. That's craziest night after night.

249
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 1: How often did you successfully do that? I would get

250
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 1: three tickets a week, maybe four. But so that means

251
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:49,560
Speaker 1: that many, many times you woke yourself up out of

252
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 1: a deep sleep, like did you sleep in your clothes

253
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 1: or would you put on some clothes and go out

254
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 1: and move your car? I had my satin robot and

255
00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:58,959
Speaker 1: so and so you have to go all the way

256
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 1: out to your car. How far away? It wasn't very far? Oh,

257
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 1: you know there was a front yard, you know, a sidewalk,

258
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:06,320
Speaker 1: a lawn now, and then you just moved like the

259
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:09,319
Speaker 1: next closest spot. Yeah, pretty much, just back and forth

260
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 1: and back and forth. My god, I can't imagine waking

261
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:15,680
Speaker 1: like the third time, not, you know, not the thirtieth time,

262
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 1: Like the third time, I'd say the screw it. And

263
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 1: there was an alley behind this house, but you couldn't

264
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 1: really park in the alley because it was one of

265
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 1: those like single lane, one way, a little strips. So

266
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 1: moving towards you ended up in the whosco. How many

267
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 1: parking tickets had you gotten before you ended up in corners?

268
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 1: I paid hundreds and hundreds of dollars and I even

269
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 1: went to the police Department's Fulton Police Department, and I

270
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 1: think I talked to the chief, but I said, here's

271
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 1: the deal. I mean, I live here, and I got

272
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 1: I've been paying tickets like mad. Could you double check

273
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 1: to see if I have any more outstanding tickets? And

274
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 1: they ran a computer check. Yes, you do. This seems

275
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 1: like a real spirit of the law letter the law

276
00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 1: to thing to me too, the spirit of the law

277
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 1: law it is not to make people who live around

278
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 1: their move their cars every two hours. But they stuck

279
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 1: you with the letter of the law. They stuck me

280
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 1: with the letter of the law. And in the bottom

281
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 1: line is so I paid off those and I kept

282
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 1: trying to pay the tickets, you know, trying not to

283
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 1: get tickets and pay the tickets. And then one evening

284
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 1: around six o'clock, oh only till five, though after five

285
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 1: I didn't have to move. So it's just unfortunately had

286
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 1: to sleep during the day. Yes, yes, uh so one

287
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 1: night around six o'clock, I hear knocking him the door,

288
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 1: and I peek out through the window and I see

289
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 1: two long here guys, and I thought, maybe they're murdering

290
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 1: my roommates friends. You know, they look hippie. As I

291
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 1: opened the door and the two guys literally burst in

292
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 1: and demand, are you Marshall Phillips. Yes, down down down

293
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 1: to the ground, on the ground. Oh yeah, on the rug.

294
00:15:53,800 --> 00:16:00,160
Speaker 1: Because the confused by this is this? Did they to

295
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 1: something else? The whole deal was the tickets. Some of

296
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 1: the tickets have gone to warrant and I hadn't. Apparently

297
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 1: you gotta get down on the ground. Yeah. Yeah. It

298
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 1: was unbelievable and we're out of time. But you spent

299
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 1: a month in jail. I did. I did for contempt

300
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 1: at court. A month a love in jail. Absolutely unbelievable.

301
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 1: Our show, we really want to mate with you. Classic class, next,

302
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 1: a classic callback. I'm the host of final thoughts at

303
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 1: Jack Armstrong. Let's get a final thought from Michael Angelo.

304
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 1: My final thought is directed at Marshall. Thank you for

305
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 1: coming to my wedding. Even though you were had a

306
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:42,360
