Speaker 1: What's one chopper ride cost a patient?
Speaker 2: I mean usually the insurance gets built. We try not
Speaker 2: to like, of course, like forty fifty thousand dollars one.
Speaker 1: Ride is forty or fifty thousand dollars. Holy moly.
Speaker 2: I mean it's an expensive operation.
Speaker 1: I understand. Kashshaw, Cash Show Up, Cash Show Show, Hello,
Speaker 1: and welcome to Tosh Show. Now. I'm Daniel Tosh. How
Speaker 1: are you doing this morning, Eddie?
Speaker 2: I'm pretty good. They're Daniel, How are you good?
Speaker 1: I'm doing great. I was listening to Dead Eyed Dick
Speaker 1: this morning, as I normally do. Such an underrated band.
Speaker 1: I mean, sure, they've got the one song new Age Girl.
Speaker 1: She don't act meat, but you show it an act
Speaker 1: the bone. I mean, but once you get deeper, you're like,
Speaker 1: oh this band was onto something. When's the last time
Speaker 1: you heard a new Age Girl?
Speaker 2: I mean maybe that was my first time. I'm not
Speaker 2: familiar with this band.
Speaker 1: You're not fromamiliar with New Age Girl now, not at all.
Speaker 1: She don't eat meat, but you show it out the phone.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna I'm definitely checking it out on the right home.
Speaker 1: You kidding me? Eddie doesn't know new Age Girl?
Speaker 2: There we go.
Speaker 1: Wow, Now, I don't know if you'd called Dead Eye
Speaker 1: Dick a one hit wonder, but that one hit was
Speaker 1: a grand slam walk off in the World series. If
Speaker 1: you ask me, h, how's your weekend? Pretty good?
Speaker 2: How about you?
Speaker 1: It was a long weekend, you know, as we know,
Speaker 1: it was Labor Day slash Memorial Day. Nobody ever knows
Speaker 1: which one it is, so three days. But my wonderful
Speaker 1: manager of twenty some years got married this weekend, and
Speaker 1: to say that it was an elaborate affair would be
Speaker 1: an understatement. Now, I don't go to a lot of weddings,
Speaker 1: mainly because I don't like them. Now was this different?
Speaker 1: I mean I had a lot of anxiety. I was
Speaker 1: fueling up on a modium, preparing for the inevitable. Where's
Speaker 1: the bathroom run? But uh no, I handled it. It
Speaker 1: was it was in our neck of the woods. They
Speaker 1: rented the Dick Clark estate. Wow, that place is beautiful.
Speaker 1: What a driveway, cow, I mean beautiful. I love a
Speaker 1: beautiful driveway. But you go back there meandering just the
Speaker 1: whole thing. Everybody that you know that spoke and then
Speaker 1: the wedding was funny because she obviously is in the
Speaker 1: comedy business. And I thought that was enjoyable. I thought
Speaker 1: went over really well. Uh, and then you know the
Speaker 1: reception afterwards. This speeches went on too long, per usual.
Speaker 1: I always just think back to when I gave a
Speaker 1: speech at my brother's wedding. I was like, ah, he's
Speaker 1: a great guy. Cheers. I felt like that's all people
Speaker 1: really wanted. Let's go. But anyway, this was the fanciest
Speaker 1: wedding I've ever been to in my life. I can't
Speaker 1: even guess what they spent. If you told me it
Speaker 1: costs seven figures, I'd be like, yeah, I believe it.
Speaker 1: It made me think, oh wow, I'm paying too much
Speaker 1: in commission. How many people are there? My guess is
Speaker 1: maybe two hundred. There's at least seventy five staff members.
Speaker 1: They brought things out all in unison, even if it
Speaker 1: was like a table of forty people. The food, the staff,
Speaker 1: I got salsa on my jacket immediately, Well they had
Speaker 1: John and Vinnie's mozzarella sticks came around. I grabbed one,
Speaker 1: scooped it instantly, sauce down my jacket.
Speaker 2: And you've heard about the mozzarella sticks.
Speaker 1: How about the dinner, Oh the dinner you had? You
Speaker 1: had two options a striped sea bass or a filet.
Speaker 1: I did the fish, but then there was also like
Speaker 1: some shareables that came to the table. It was like
Speaker 1: a pasta, and nobody wanted that, so I just ate
Speaker 1: out of the bowl. I just put I just can't,
Speaker 1: I said, nobody wants this fun. I kept it next
Speaker 1: to me and I just ate. Let me tell you
Speaker 1: about the desserts, and that will probably give you a
Speaker 1: scope of the wedding. For starters, they had someone walking
Speaker 1: around immediately with the cake. They had multiple different kinds
Speaker 1: of cake, but that was the main wedding cake. And
Speaker 1: they had a candy store set up where you would
Speaker 1: get bags and fill it up with whatever candy you wanted.
Speaker 1: And they had all kinds of fun candy, candy, cigarettes,
Speaker 1: the whole packs so that there was also a cookie station,
Speaker 1: just tons of different kinds of cookies. There was an
Speaker 1: ice cream truck there so you could get ice cream.
Speaker 1: This is all in addition to the cakes. Good lord, yeah, exactly,
Speaker 1: I have to find out the number. You know. It's funny.
Speaker 1: I got to finally meet Nathan Fielder. Oh and that
Speaker 1: was delightful. And then here's what my wife says to me,
Speaker 1: After our interaction, she goes, who would guess that you're
Speaker 1: the more awkward person in a social setting? And I'm like, well,
Speaker 1: that's not fair. I did my best. He's hysterical. But anyway, yeah,
Speaker 1: I always meet people that are really interesting. And then
Speaker 1: my wife nudges me and like, you've known this person
Speaker 1: for twelve years. My wife is like, what's his name
Speaker 1: from Veep? Gary? Oh yeah, Gary, Gary, She's just in
Speaker 1: my ear. You've known this person for twenty years, you
Speaker 1: know his wife, you know his kids. Okay, go, did
Speaker 1: you get a gift? I didn't do a gift. You
Speaker 1: have one year from the wedding date to buy a gift.
Speaker 1: Normally I cut a check, but I feel like that's
Speaker 1: not gonna work with her because our relationship is is
Speaker 1: so long. I think I have to do something I'll
Speaker 1: probably end up doing, like a like a hotel stay
Speaker 1: get her, get her a hotel State Great Wolf Lodge
Speaker 1: or something that's nice. There you go, that's that hotel
Speaker 1: that smells like chlorine because it's attached to an indoor
Speaker 1: water park. I think she'd love that. Rent the whole
Speaker 1: place out. I mean, I don't know what it costs
Speaker 1: to rent the whole Great Wolf Lodge out, probably what
Speaker 1: she paid for in appetizers. If I write a check,
Speaker 1: how much do I have to give as a gift?
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts?
Speaker 3: Fifteen hundred, fifteen hundred, seventy five hundred, seventy five hundred dollars, Yeah,
Speaker 3: you're nuts.
Speaker 2: Five hundred.
Speaker 1: Okay, so so Pete things five hundred. Eddie think's fifteen hundred.
Speaker 1: And John Elrick, the guy who fucking always wants more money,
Speaker 1: is telling me to give away seventy five hundred dollars.
Speaker 1: All right, give it away, he said guests. So I'm
Speaker 1: guessing I'm not giving away seventy five hundred dollars. Holy shit,
Speaker 1: that's all. That's That's now I've got pressure. I got
Speaker 1: to talk to Carly when again.
Speaker 2: I've created anxiety discussion.
Speaker 1: Great Wolf Lodge. Might I might be able to do it?
Speaker 1: Back to back days, everybody was well behaved, nothing horrible happened.
Speaker 1: I always worry, especially when you've got old people traveling
Speaker 1: from the East Coast and now they're like, you know,
Speaker 1: back home, it's it's two in the morning, and now
Speaker 1: they're dancing and drinking. And the dance floor was on
Speaker 1: a slight incline. I was like, oh, this is a disaster.
Speaker 1: I had anything happened. Today's guest can make it from
Speaker 1: Long Beach to Malibu in under ten minutes to save
Speaker 1: the day. Enjoy, Pasha. If you ever meet Today's guest
Speaker 1: in real life, you or someone you love are in
Speaker 1: bad shape, please welcome flight paramedic Phil.
Speaker 2: Thanks for having me, Daniel, thank.
Speaker 1: You for being here, and thank you for all that
Speaker 1: you do. Of course, where were you born?
Speaker 2: I was born in Oxnard, California. Oxnard, you're familiar. Oh man,
Speaker 2: how's your Spanish pekinto?
Speaker 1: Uhh?
Speaker 2: Yeah, funny. Growing up, Oxnard had this like tourists initiative
Speaker 2: called Oxnard only one traffic signal separates us from Malibu
Speaker 2: and it didn't work.
Speaker 1: You know, only one traffic signal, yeah, separates you from Malibu.
Speaker 1: I didn't know that. Oxnard is like a little slice
Speaker 1: of gross Florida, just right above Los Angeles.
Speaker 2: Big slice.
Speaker 1: Is the strawberry capital of the world.
Speaker 2: It is, yeah that they have the Strawberry Festival every year.
Speaker 2: It's known for you.
Speaker 1: Ever been to a Pirate's Day in Ventura?
Speaker 2: No, I've heard of it, but I've never been there.
Speaker 4: Have you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, how was it? It was an accident. One day.
Speaker 1: I just randomly was like, hey, let's go up to
Speaker 1: Ventur and get lunch someplace to my wife. Never we
Speaker 1: never go up there, and it was Pirate's Day and
Speaker 1: everybody was dressed up like pirates and I was like,
Speaker 1: this is ridiculous.
Speaker 2: No, I would love to see that, but no, I've
Speaker 2: never seen it.
Speaker 1: I stumbled upon it randomly. You played guitar, You toured
Speaker 1: with bands, and your dad was in a.
Speaker 2: Band he was Yeah, growing up in Oxnard, there was
Speaker 2: a very like healthy and kind of supportive, like DIY
Speaker 2: punk scene Nardcore. Is that ring a bell? What's thatcore?
Speaker 2: It's like Oxnard hardcore met into one word.
Speaker 1: Uh huh.
Speaker 2: So it was Yeah, many wouldn't, but it was kind
Speaker 2: of coined in the eighties. The band's like Irrepute still
Speaker 2: Loug thirteen and there's just been like a punk scene
Speaker 2: in Oxnard forever and I kind of got wrapped up
Speaker 2: in that as a kid.
Speaker 1: You toured with the band as a roadie, Yeah, I.
Speaker 2: Did, Roady I played a little bit too as well.
Speaker 1: But yeah, do you feel like you gave up? Did
Speaker 1: you give up completely on that?
Speaker 2: I mean, there was not much to give up. It
Speaker 2: was just sort of like a fun hobby.
Speaker 1: You know, you were a beach lifeguard?
Speaker 4: I was.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Did you do that as a child where you
Speaker 1: took the lifeguard training classes?
Speaker 2: Oh, the GGS G lifeguards? No, I never did that.
Speaker 2: I was just swimming and playing water pool and stuff
Speaker 2: at Oxford High Uh huh. And yeah, as one does,
Speaker 2: you kind of get into lifeguarding and swim instructure stuff
Speaker 2: and it just sort of like worked out that way.
Speaker 1: Are you still a strong swimmer?
Speaker 2: Strong ish? I think?
Speaker 1: So? Did you watch the Olympics this summer? I did.
Speaker 1: Did you enjoy the water pool? Did? How do we do?
Speaker 2: We got third? Actually?
Speaker 1: Otherwise nose bronze? Yeah? Right. Had you ever save people
Speaker 1: on the beach a couple?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Rip tides? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Actually yeah, I definitely rip tides. More worse is when
Speaker 2: you go out there and they're not drowning and they're like,
Speaker 2: the fuck away from me, what are you doing out here?
Speaker 2: Kind of cause the scene and you got to like
Speaker 2: backstroke back with your head between your you know.
Speaker 1: Well, you were just you're I think I think airing
Speaker 1: on the side of you know, being cautious is not
Speaker 1: a bad thing. The water though, it's so cold, freezing,
Speaker 1: and you just have to dive in with nothing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, just your shorts and you're your booby.
Speaker 1: That's it. Back when you were lifeguard. Every year there
Speaker 1: will be an article about the fact that lifeguards in
Speaker 1: Los Angeles beaches make over one hundred and fifty thousand
Speaker 1: a year.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean they work for the La County Fire
Speaker 2: Department in La County, unless you're on like a smaller
Speaker 2: study department. But those guys, yeah, they definitely do well.
Speaker 1: They're just grandfathered in and it just keeps escalating every year.
Speaker 1: It has to or that's not base.
Speaker 2: No, no, it's they have seasonal and like permanent lifeguards.
Speaker 2: So especially the permanent ones who do that, like the
Speaker 2: bay Watch guys are all lifeguards and they're also like
Speaker 2: the paramedics at Catalina and.
Speaker 1: Stuff like that. Were you a fan of bay Watch
Speaker 1: as a kid?
Speaker 2: Not as much as I probably should have been, But
Speaker 2: I enjoyed the scenery, you know, were you?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 1: No, I wasn't, although I did like that as a surfer.
Speaker 1: The season that Kelly Slater embarrassed himself, I do you
Speaker 1: remember that? And that that was enjoyable. Tell me how
Speaker 1: the transition from water polo lifeguard roady led you into
Speaker 1: being an EMT.
Speaker 2: I was working as a lifeguard on this beach in
Speaker 2: Ventura County called Silver Strand, and if you had your
Speaker 2: EMT certification, you could ride on this ATV like around
Speaker 2: the beach. And I was sitting there on the tower
Speaker 2: and I was like, man, that looks kind of cool.
Speaker 2: I could do that. And I thought they were like badass.
Speaker 2: I mean, and all I'll see, they're like the lowest
Speaker 2: level of the ms. But at that time, I was
Speaker 2: like blown away by how cool they were. So I
Speaker 2: went to Ventura College took this EMT class and yeah,
Speaker 2: it's kind of the rest of history.
Speaker 1: I love lore.
Speaker 2: Did that take The EMT class is like a semester.
Speaker 2: That one's not anything. It's like two nights a week.
Speaker 2: And the paramedic program, which I went to later, is
Speaker 2: like it's like an associates program through the college.
Speaker 1: I mean, how long did you How long were you
Speaker 1: an MT in a van the vmbulance.
Speaker 2: It was like maybe like a year and a half
Speaker 2: before I got into paramedic school.
Speaker 1: Uh huh.
Speaker 2: And then you do like a paramedic internship and then yeah,
Speaker 2: you kind of start working on the ground.
Speaker 1: Which one's more dangerous, Probably.
Speaker 2: The ground going Code three, the lights and sirens to
Speaker 2: the city and stuff. I would say that's a little
Speaker 2: more dangerous.
Speaker 1: Where does EMT rank? Are you higher than a nurse,
Speaker 1: lower than a doctor? Where are you at?
Speaker 2: An EMT would be lower than like a nurse or
Speaker 2: a doctor. But there's like EMT paramedic and then like
Speaker 2: critical care paramedic, which is what I do. So on
Speaker 2: the helicopter we fly, it's like a three man or
Speaker 2: three person crew. It's pilot, critical care nurse, and critical carometic.
Speaker 2: So at our level, the medic and the nurse are
Speaker 2: kind of all the same. There's really no difference in
Speaker 2: scope or what we do as far as practice. But yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean generally the nurse would definitely be like the
Speaker 2: higher level of care.
Speaker 1: Can you write a prescription?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 1: A sh Yeah? How much work can you do on
Speaker 1: these people?
Speaker 2: Kind of a lot? I mean, especially on the helicopter,
Speaker 2: what we do, we do like a lot of like intubations,
Speaker 2: we're doing chest tubes, We're doing like ventilator management and
Speaker 2: stuff like that. So we're doing actually quite a.
Speaker 1: Bit are you allowed to request if you want a
Speaker 1: helicopter versus the van?
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm sure you could if you're in like
Speaker 2: a very remote area. We have like membership programs and
Speaker 2: stuff like that to get people, but usually it's in
Speaker 2: remote areas and we get activated by like a fire
Speaker 2: department or something like that.
Speaker 1: Were you ever nervous to fly in a helicopter? Not really, No,
Speaker 1: I've floated in a helicopter one time.
Speaker 2: One time.
Speaker 1: That's not true. I guess I flew in it twice.
Speaker 1: I flew it to a destination then back, like Hawaii
Speaker 1: or something.
Speaker 4: No.
Speaker 1: No, I was working in Palm Springs. I was like,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna we're gonna go by helicopter.
Speaker 2: Nice, like one of those casinos out there. Yep.
Speaker 1: But I'm like, I'm not doing that again. What's one
Speaker 1: chopper ride cost a patient?
Speaker 2: I mean, usually the insurance gets built. We try not
Speaker 2: to like, of course, like forty fifty thousand dollars.
Speaker 1: One ride is forty or fifty thousand dollars, Holy moly.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's an expensive operation.
Speaker 1: I understand. I wasn't ready for forty or fifty. I
Speaker 1: was ready for for like ten. It's such a short flight.
Speaker 2: It's very short flight. I mean it's maybe like an
Speaker 2: hour or so toops. But you think of the fuel,
Speaker 2: the aircraft, the pilot, the nurse, the medic.
Speaker 1: Why no, But if I rent a helicopter to fly
Speaker 1: to Palm Springs, it didn't cost fifty.
Speaker 2: How much did it cost?
Speaker 1: I don't remember. I don't remember fifteen each way.
Speaker 2: That's not bad actually comparatively, I'm.
Speaker 1: Guessing, though I don't really remember. Are you responsible for
Speaker 1: getting all of the patient's insurance information before they land
Speaker 1: at the hospital?
Speaker 2: No, that's by far the worst part of the job.
Speaker 2: But you're trying to like deal with stuff like that.
Speaker 2: We just get their ID and we'll get like information
Speaker 2: from the receiving hospital. But I never I've worked on
Speaker 2: the ground for places, and we're supposed to get like
Speaker 2: copies of the insurance card and all that stuff, and
Speaker 2: it just eats my soul.
Speaker 1: It's like you're sometimes the last person people have spoke to.
Speaker 2: Quite often they do die with us. Are more worse
Speaker 2: is when it's like the last person their family speaks to, Like, well,
Speaker 2: they're like family members dying, So we'll kind of go
Speaker 2: in there and they'll want us to start at CPR,
Speaker 2: but clearly it's been it's been a long time.
Speaker 1: Sometimes they don't declare people dead until the hospital. Is
Speaker 1: that just to make you sleep better at night?
Speaker 2: No, if that does not make us sleep better at night.
Speaker 2: Usually because there's this criteria for determination to death. Okay,
Speaker 2: so I'll be like wrigamortis slavidity a sisterly and contigiously.
Speaker 2: It's basically no hard activity.
Speaker 1: So you're not allowed to say decease.
Speaker 2: Oh, we do if that has the criteria. But if
Speaker 2: they don't meet that, we kind of got to like
Speaker 2: work the code kind of thing.
Speaker 1: Are you squeamish at all?
Speaker 2: Not really, I don't think so.
Speaker 1: I'm not either. Yeah, but I'm sure you've seen it.
Speaker 2: I mean I've definitely seen it. We've had like you know,
Speaker 2: like nurse ride alongs and stuff like that who have
Speaker 2: full on feinted and.
Speaker 1: Stuff with this. How many dead bodies have you seen?
Speaker 2: I don't know, probably a few hundred, few thousand maybe
Speaker 2: over the course of the last twenty years.
Speaker 1: Do you you sleep well? You have any PTSD?
Speaker 2: Maybe? But I feel like I sleep okay usually?
Speaker 1: Yes, you ever talk to somebody? Do they force you
Speaker 1: to talk to people.
Speaker 2: You know, they were really bad about that in the beginning,
Speaker 2: or at least when I started, But now they do
Speaker 2: this like critical incident stress debriefing. Like my program has
Speaker 2: a thing called Siren where they can, like you go
Speaker 2: out of service and you can talk to somebody if
Speaker 2: something bad happens, like pediatric full arrest or anything like that.
Speaker 2: But I haven't had to or I haven't like initiated
Speaker 2: using it much at all.
Speaker 1: Do you believe in ghosts?
Speaker 2: No? I don't. Who pulls people off of the side
Speaker 2: of a Cliff County helicopters? It's like the sheriff's apartment
Speaker 2: or the fire apart.
Speaker 1: Okay, something like that, but you're not dropping a basket down.
Speaker 2: No, No, we're landing on the freeway and stuff like that.
Speaker 2: So there's really two types of like mission profile as
Speaker 2: they say that we do. Okay, there's the inner facility,
Speaker 2: which is taking somebody from like a smaller hospital to
Speaker 2: like a bigger UCLA or seaters or something. Or we're
Speaker 2: doing what we call scene calls, which is sort of
Speaker 2: like landed on the fifteen out in Victorville and flying
Speaker 2: someone to like a hospital who's like a trauma patient
Speaker 2: or a piece patient because out there in the high
Speaker 2: desert where I started, there's really no like trauma services,
Speaker 2: there's no pediatric services, so it's kind of a ironically
Speaker 2: it's a desert for health care.
Speaker 1: So what about transferring like organs?
Speaker 2: There is like a specialty company that does that. We
Speaker 2: never do that.
Speaker 1: Oh you guys don't do that? Yeah, that always seems fun,
Speaker 1: Like hurry before this heart stops working.
Speaker 2: We've had pilots to do that, Like they kind of
Speaker 2: do that before they got into MS, they were doing
Speaker 2: like organ procurement transfers or something.
Speaker 1: What about how many pilots are in your helicopter?
Speaker 2: Just one? We're single pilot.
Speaker 1: Can you do anything if if he were to stroke out?
Speaker 2: They try to like train us with certain like training
Speaker 2: modules and stuff what to do, but it's not going
Speaker 2: to work out if they stroke out or pass out.
Speaker 1: So you're done.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're done. I just hope it's quick.
Speaker 1: You fly with the same pilot all the time.
Speaker 2: So we work twenty fours on the med crew, but
Speaker 2: the pilots by FA can only work twelve hour shifts.
Speaker 2: So we have like a day pilot in a night pilot.
Speaker 1: But you is there ever a pilot where you roll
Speaker 1: your eyes and go, Okay, well I hope to be back.
Speaker 2: Oh absolutely, yeah exactly, like please delete my history if
Speaker 2: we go down or what.
Speaker 1: About the small talk? Is there a lot of between
Speaker 1: the two two professions, are you guys?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean we all like stay at the same
Speaker 2: base and we all sort of like live together at work.
Speaker 2: But there's definitely a lot kind of like firefighters kinda yeah. Similar.
Speaker 1: So you're twenty four on, twenty four off, twenty four on.
Speaker 2: Yeah, then we have like five days off, but then
Speaker 2: there's like overtime opportunities and they'll like kind of force
Speaker 2: you in overtime and stuff sometimes.
Speaker 1: So you two days a week is your schedule? Yeah?
Speaker 1: And does that in that those two days rotate constantly.
Speaker 2: Kind of Yeah, it's never like the same two days
Speaker 2: at least why I work. So it's called like they
Speaker 2: call it like a Kelly schedule, but it's just like
Speaker 2: a rotation.
Speaker 1: Do you get excited for like a big labor day weekend,
Speaker 1: like Oh, it's gonna be takeing.
Speaker 2: No, Sometimes I'm like, oh, it's gonna be terrible, it's
Speaker 2: gonna be busy. Right, Sometimes it's fun where I work.
Speaker 2: We got to Catalina a lot. That's sort of our
Speaker 2: like bread and butter.
Speaker 1: Oh, that's a neat trip.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I've never been to Catilina never. Huh huh huh. I
Speaker 1: like that. There's a few places just right around here
Speaker 1: that I've never been. Yeah, I've never been the Channel
Speaker 1: Islands either. You've been out there?
Speaker 2: Have Yeah?
Speaker 1: That's nice, Yeah, super nice. I got to do that.
Speaker 2: How long have you been here.
Speaker 1: Since the late nineties?
Speaker 2: Shit?
Speaker 1: How many calls are you getting during your average twenty
Speaker 1: four hour shift?
Speaker 2: It depends really, Like where I'm at now, we do
Speaker 2: like two maybe, and they take a little bit longer
Speaker 2: when you factor in like fueling, transporting and charting and stuff.
Speaker 2: But when I started out in the high desert in Victorville,
Speaker 2: it's crazy out there. I mean, they don't call it
Speaker 2: Victimville for for no reason.
Speaker 1: I didn't know they called it Victimville. They do. Uh huh.
Speaker 1: And you ever delivered a baby?
Speaker 2: I have delivered a baby. Yeah, I delivered quite a few.
Speaker 1: Oh really, it's not that hard, is it.
Speaker 2: Actually it's not. You know, just guard the paraneum and
Speaker 2: it's usually by the time we get there and they
Speaker 2: call nine on one it's kind of halfway happening anyway.
Speaker 2: We just have an ob kit and we just kind
Speaker 2: of assist them on really.
Speaker 1: Oh man, anybody ever name their kid after you?
Speaker 4: No.
Speaker 2: I tried to make that joke multiple times and they're
Speaker 2: not interested.
Speaker 1: Nothing wrong with Phil. It's a good name. Thank you.
Speaker 1: What about bad weather? Do you guys just like, hey,
Speaker 1: we can't go?
Speaker 2: Kind of yeah, I mean, if it's really it's all
Speaker 2: we do monitor weather a lot, so there'll be like
Speaker 2: ceilings and weather forecasts and stuff we're looking at all day.
Speaker 2: So there's two different types of flying. There's a VFR
Speaker 2: and there's IFAR. At my base, we fly IFAR, which
Speaker 2: means instrument flight rules and you can kind of fly
Speaker 2: in the clouds and kind of use air traffic control
Speaker 2: to like vectory around. But if you're a VFR visual
Speaker 2: flight rules, you're not kinna. I mean, you just use
Speaker 2: and VFR. They don't have to even check in with
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, correct, They just it's a this squak is
Speaker 2: twelve hundred. It's a VFR. I mean here in southern
Speaker 2: California it's such a busy airspace you kind of want
Speaker 2: to check in and talk and there's like class Bravo
Speaker 2: and different airspaces and all that stuff. But you don't
Speaker 2: have to.
Speaker 1: They don't have to. You can just fly around wherever
Speaker 1: you want. Yep. Now, do you put your lights on
Speaker 1: on your helicopter? Do other planes have to get out
Speaker 1: of the way? How's that work?
Speaker 2: No? But there is like a METAVAC status with the
Speaker 2: air traffic control. So if we're like waiting to go somewhere,
Speaker 2: if we say we're a METAVAC, then they'll just kind
Speaker 2: of give us a priority.
Speaker 1: Uh huh. And do you guys do that just because
Speaker 1: you're impatient?
Speaker 2: Absolutely?
Speaker 1: What's the most random place your pilot's ever had to
Speaker 1: put that bird down?
Speaker 2: Definitely like an intersection in like low salamados outside the hospital.
Speaker 2: Maybe just like on like a mountain road up by
Speaker 2: a rim of the world up there in Sara Badara,
Speaker 2: something like do.
Speaker 1: You guys call it a bird?
Speaker 2: Sometimes a lot of the old like military pilots will
Speaker 2: drop that one for sure.
Speaker 1: Uh huh.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Do you like the military guys more? You feel safer
Speaker 1: with them? Yes?
Speaker 2: And no, I guess they're all pretty safe. But like
Speaker 2: that's just the main I would say eighty percent of
Speaker 2: our pilots are like ex army or Marine corps.
Speaker 1: Do they hot dog ever? What do you mean you know,
Speaker 1: take cool turns?
Speaker 2: No, everything's so tracked on, like flight radar and stuff.
Speaker 2: They're like very like consciousness.
Speaker 1: What about that thing when you take off and you
Speaker 1: nose down and you just go like this, like feet
Speaker 1: off the ground.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's forgetting like ground effect. Yeah, we do do
Speaker 2: that sometimes.
Speaker 1: That's awesome.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's by far the best one. Yeah. Did you watch.
Speaker 1: Airwolf as a kid?
Speaker 2: I did watch your Wolf. Yeah that's a bell to
Speaker 2: twenty two helicopter do.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna sound super autistic, but.
Speaker 1: I I mean yeah, yeah, just on the spectrum slightly.
Speaker 1: What was Airwolf? Pretty accurate overall?
Speaker 2: I mean at the time I thought it was. When
Speaker 2: I was a kid, I loved that plane.
Speaker 1: I kind of remember that bird. Yeah, air what was it?
Speaker 1: Just like I had a turbo button? Was that the
Speaker 1: big thing?
Speaker 2: The button that would like shoot the missiles or something
Speaker 2: like that. Oh, it did have a turbo button too,
Speaker 2: You're right.
Speaker 1: Like it could fly a jet. That was Did you
Speaker 1: watch Airwolf and Street Hawk?
Speaker 2: I didn't watch street Hawk. I don't know what that is.
Speaker 1: Street Hawk was the motorcycle much like much like night
Speaker 1: Rider but street Hawk. He had a button on his
Speaker 1: where he could go up in the air and like
Speaker 1: like had these jets that would like lift it and
Speaker 1: turn it around. It couldn't fly, but it could like
Speaker 1: levitate for a bit. Anyway, I don't want to bring up, uh,
Speaker 1: Kobe Bryant, but what if you get a call the
Speaker 1: flight conditions are total shit? But there's is that person.
Speaker 1: Does a person just die wherever they are, like, yeah,
Speaker 1: we can't get there, No.
Speaker 2: We'll kind of like land somewhere safe and practical, like
Speaker 2: where Kobe was. He was in Calabasas right over here,
Speaker 2: so they could have like landed. I mean, I'm not
Speaker 2: arm trick quarterback, but you know.
Speaker 1: That that was I'm saying a crash that nobody's there's
Speaker 1: nothing to do totally. They always say the problem with
Speaker 1: a lot of these like celebrity people are that are
Speaker 1: flying these things, the biggest problem is there get their
Speaker 1: itis totally where they just like force them to go right,
Speaker 1: which is a weird thing that I should never be
Speaker 1: able to force a pilot to do something.
Speaker 2: But anyway, it's like implied pressure, right, I have to
Speaker 2: get there they're going to piss off the customer, piss
Speaker 2: off the client.
Speaker 1: Definitely.
Speaker 2: The air medical community and air medical side is very
Speaker 2: like cautious about that. They harp on that stuff very well.
Speaker 2: And like you know, we're very like safe in standards
Speaker 2: and VA fire minimums are always like and.
Speaker 1: You guys can fly in fog. Though you can successfully
Speaker 1: fly in fog.
Speaker 2: We can, I mean not fog to the ground usually
Speaker 2: because we need like minimums to like lift from the
Speaker 2: ground and to get like vectored around.
Speaker 1: But we fly and yeah, and like I have no
Speaker 1: idea how helicopters work. Pretty soon we won't need the
Speaker 1: pilots or the helicopters. We just need you in a drone.
Speaker 2: Right, it's gonna be like the weaimo system or something.
Speaker 2: I think they are really working on that.
Speaker 4: I know.
Speaker 1: I think that would be exciting. Then we just start
Speaker 1: typing in coordinates and you get there right.
Speaker 4: Oh.
Speaker 1: You ever hung from the landing skids?
Speaker 2: No, it's it's been a dream of mine, but I've
Speaker 2: never done it.
Speaker 1: That would be good. I once saw the rock do it. Man,
Speaker 1: it looked I think you only had one arm in
Speaker 1: this movie too, Is that true? Or do you have
Speaker 1: one leg, maybe had one leg.
Speaker 2: Are we talking San Andreas? Is that what we're talking
Speaker 2: in that movie?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 1: I don't know if it was that movie, but it
Speaker 1: was a garbage movie, like that skyscrape paper. As a pedestrian,
Speaker 1: you ever save someone.
Speaker 2: Never never want you never jump into Actually I don't
Speaker 2: have like a jump bag and like gloves and all
Speaker 2: this stuff. If somebody was like actively choking or dying, sure,
Speaker 2: But if I see someone fall and there's really nothing
Speaker 2: I can do, I'm probably not gonna do it. I mean,
Speaker 2: I'll get in there and help maybe get some information
Speaker 2: for like the paramedics when they do get there, like
Speaker 2: a name.
Speaker 1: But it's never happened. You've never been first on the
Speaker 1: scene in a car accident.
Speaker 2: Never I have. Really.
Speaker 1: I jumped on top of a tipped van and was
Speaker 1: like trying to pull a guy out because I thought
Speaker 1: the van was going to explode. Then that when the
Speaker 1: fire department came, they said I that they don't explode.
Speaker 1: Cars don't explode. That's like in movies. He goes, just
Speaker 1: leave him in there, we'll get him. I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: I just I was like I was trying to rip
Speaker 1: him out. That's a good move though.
Speaker 2: That's a good, good karma move though.
Speaker 1: Shit, you know who else I saw that during that
Speaker 1: accid As a matter of fact, what's his name? I
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know actor his names from Entourage, drama.
Speaker 2: Oh, Johnny drama.
Speaker 1: I saw, Yeah, he was watching me. He was watching
Speaker 1: me in action. I'm just like trying to get people.
Speaker 1: This van just ran a red light, t boned a
Speaker 1: small car, flipped. It was just chaos.
Speaker 2: I was like, did you have the family with you
Speaker 2: and everything? You're like, I'll be right back.
Speaker 1: I did. I just pulled on the car and I
Speaker 1: just ran. I was like, I gotta help. I gotta
Speaker 1: help people. Oh, it's my instinct. It turns out I
Speaker 1: was just I was probably just doing so much more
Speaker 1: damage to this guy. But there, that guy was a drunk.
Speaker 2: We call that job security.
Speaker 1: What's the one thing people do wrong constantly that you're like, Oh,
Speaker 1: because of what you've seen, You're like, I'll never do this.
Speaker 2: I don't know, you know, maybe like motorcycles, no helmets,
Speaker 2: maybe just motorcycle. I mean I did go through a
Speaker 2: motorcycle phase. I met that, but you did. Yeah.
Speaker 1: My mother was a nurse for sixty years. Really m hm,
Speaker 1: got sixty, she's old.
Speaker 2: Yeah, my mom was too, she was a nurse.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay. The only thing my mom ever like one
Speaker 1: of the ground rules was like, don't do heroin, but
Speaker 1: also don't ride a motorcycle. She's like, just don't do it.
Speaker 1: Just she goes. I just see it all the time. Now.
Speaker 1: It's weird because in Florida, where I grew up, you
Speaker 1: don't have to wear a helmet. It still did this
Speaker 1: stay Yeah, yeah, the helmet help. They said that they've
Speaker 1: proven that that you don't need helmets. But they think
Speaker 1: we're crazy here in California because in California, you're allowed
Speaker 1: to split traffic.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: I don't think any other place allows that. But now,
Speaker 1: do you know the reason that we're allowed to split traffic.
Speaker 1: They say that it's safer for motorcycles to split traffic
Speaker 1: because people always kind of like pay attention to the
Speaker 1: car in front and end up rear ending motorcycles too much.
Speaker 2: I mean, we don't get a lot of splitting related
Speaker 2: accidents or injuries that I've seen, at least personally.
Speaker 1: The problem with splitting is you're only technically allowed to
Speaker 1: go ten miles an hour faster. Than the flow of traffic,
Speaker 1: and sometimes traffic is at a dead stop and people
Speaker 1: are splitting at eighty miles an hour. Right.
Speaker 2: I thought you could only do it when it was
Speaker 2: dead stop. I didn't know you could like pass cars.
Speaker 1: And then what are you talking to me if if
Speaker 1: you had a motorcycle you didn't know that? No, well
Speaker 1: have you never seen it?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 2: I mean I've seen it on the one on one
Speaker 2: when you're just stopped and there's cars like like crazy.
Speaker 1: Pete's got a motorcycle. He doesn't drive it, but he
Speaker 1: has one. I thinks he's cool.
Speaker 2: He is.
Speaker 1: I had a Vespa, had a Pete two, and I
Speaker 1: had split traffic on that.
Speaker 2: You did a motorcycle license for a Vespa like that?
Speaker 1: Yep, you do. I didn't get one. I rolled the
Speaker 1: dice Florida. No, I didn't hear. I drove really Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I used to because I would take it to short
Speaker 1: term parking at lax and you could free park. Really yeah,
Speaker 1: motorcycles are free.
Speaker 2: Then you got to bring all your shit with you.
Speaker 1: No, I know, it's awful. I just had something over
Speaker 1: his shoulder. It was bad. This is me as a
Speaker 1: young person. You ever thought about being a set medic
Speaker 1: on like film and television.
Speaker 2: I know a lot of guys who do that. Actually,
Speaker 2: I haven't thought about it.
Speaker 1: It's decent money, that's what I've heard. You have five
Speaker 1: hundred dollars a day to sit at craft service and
Speaker 1: just like hit on everybody.
Speaker 2: I see their Instagram stories all the time posting pictures
Speaker 2: of steaks and yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: They pass out advil and like they have to sit
Speaker 1: you down before they give you two advill and like
Speaker 1: tell you, okay, here's two advill. What a What a racket?
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm pro union and all, but what a racket?
Speaker 1: Yeah, sure you're pro. Let's get into some serious stuff,

Speaker 1: so many cats.

Speaker 1: Congratulations you. When's the big day?

Speaker 4: I have?
Speaker 1: How long did that last?
Speaker 4: Like?
Speaker 2: Not even two years? I mean, I give it the
Speaker 2: old junior college try. I guess.
Speaker 1: That's good. How did you meet your fiance? Was she
Speaker 1: trapped on the side of a mountain with a broken leg?
Speaker 2: That would have been a much better story, but it
Speaker 2: was just on the internet.
Speaker 1: I was hoping for a meat cute. What's that a
Speaker 1: meat cute?
Speaker 2: Meat cute?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 2: Like when you meet it's it's.
Speaker 1: Like the beginning of every Hallmark movie. I don't know
Speaker 1: if you ever watched Hallmark Christmas movies or something like that.
Speaker 1: They do meat cutes, like, oh, they bump into somebody
Speaker 1: while they're buying their Christmas.
Speaker 2: Tree, like I met him at Arawon or something.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you go to air one.
Speaker 2: Sometimes you spend it.
Speaker 1: You're spending that's expensive. Your cats eat that kind of food?
Speaker 2: Now, No, they got like chewy online stuff. I don't know.
Speaker 1: We were we almost had a dog sponsor on this show. Really,
Speaker 1: I was excited about it. But then they told me
Speaker 1: like my dogs had to eat it, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: get the fuck out of here. My dogs aren't eating
Speaker 1: that shit.
Speaker 2: Do you do like the far I mean, how do
Speaker 2: I say the brand? Do you do like Farmer's Dog,
Speaker 2: like the boot?
Speaker 4: I do? Uh?
Speaker 1: Just food for dogs?
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: And if I plugged them multiple times, they've not yet
Speaker 1: really ever sent me up even a single bag. They
Speaker 1: charged me five hundred dollars every two months or something.
Speaker 1: I don't know what it is. You excited about this
Speaker 1: upcoming election, you know?
Speaker 2: I am?
Speaker 4: Now.

Speaker 1: Joe's still around, Okay, have you seen him?
Speaker 2: I haven't seen him.
Speaker 1: Joe's doing great. He just vacationed up in Santiera.
Speaker 2: They were looking because they did. We had like a
Speaker 2: TFR temporary flight restriction all up there above Santa Barbara.
Speaker 2: So we couldn't really fly up there because he was
Speaker 2: there like home shopping or something.
Speaker 1: Oh is that where Joe's gonna end his days?
Speaker 2: Shoemash can see him?
Speaker 1: Oh, I love it, don't knock it. I just played

Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 2: College football?
Speaker 1: What's your team?
Speaker 2: Usually? I just wanted to see the SEC lose. That
Speaker 2: was like the main goal I didn't view when the
Speaker 2: Pac twelve was doing their thing. I was kind of
Speaker 2: into that as well.
Speaker 1: I just I literally texted someone yesterday, fuck the SEC.
Speaker 2: Well, they did horrible this night. I just want to
Speaker 2: see Paul Finnebaum like making excuses. You know, I'm big
Speaker 2: on this year. I'm gonna I'm gonna call it. I'm
Speaker 2: big on the U.
Speaker 1: I like that.
Speaker 2: I mean, they destroyed Florida.
Speaker 1: At the swamp. Yeah, that was great.
Speaker 4: I know.
Speaker 1: I told I told my father in law, he who
Speaker 1: made me a bet that Florida would finish over five hundred.
Speaker 1: I said, go ahead and send me one hundred dollars.
Speaker 2: Now, absolutely, and you see it.
Speaker 1: Plays them in the swamp October fifth.
Speaker 2: That's a big twelve school. Now though I know you're ready,
Speaker 2: is there still going to be a UCFU on rivalry?
Speaker 2: Remember that one the Oh yeah, they had like a
Speaker 2: made up rivalry called the Civil Conflict or something.
Speaker 1: How do you know so much about UCF?
Speaker 2: I don't know that much about it. I just listened
Speaker 2: to this stupid sports podcast. Sure do you consider that
Speaker 2: undefeated UCF season a national championship? Are you one of
Speaker 2: those guys?
Speaker 1: But do I have a national championship shirt? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 1: of course, because it's anything to antagonize at Alabama?
Speaker 2: Exactly?
Speaker 1: Are you watching a TV up there?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Not, I mean not up in the helicopter, could you?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 1: No, I'm just saying, well, good games going on?
Speaker 2: Why I'll be refreshing.
Speaker 1: You're not just flying around ever?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 2: I mean sometimes we'll do like training flights and stuff
Speaker 2: for the pilots, but we're not usually just flying.
Speaker 1: You ever bring your fiance on a flight.
Speaker 2: Never she's been to the base and stuff and hung
Speaker 2: out with her whole family.
Speaker 1: But can I do a ride along with you?
Speaker 2: Absolutely could?
Speaker 1: Yeah, where I can fly and everything.
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 1: I don't get it. I don't get in people's way.
Speaker 1: How much room is there?
Speaker 2: Not a lot, but there's enough for one more. I mean,
Speaker 2: we have a bigger helicopter at my base. It's a
Speaker 2: twin inch in Bell four twenty nine, so we can.
Speaker 1: Serve bathroom on that helicopter.
Speaker 4: No.
Speaker 1: Well, would have you ever had like a little stomach issue?
Speaker 2: W we We're like, oh, I mean it all the time,
Speaker 2: not all that way. I didn't even take that back,
Speaker 2: not all the time. But I've definitely happen. Yeah, causepecially
Speaker 2: when you're going up to altitude kind of quick the
Speaker 2: gas expand you know, like you what do you do?
Speaker 2: You just white knuckle it. I guess just write it up.
Speaker 1: You've never you've never hung out? You never know.
Speaker 2: No, that would be the end of my career.
Speaker 1: If I did that.
Speaker 2: I would hear about that.
Speaker 1: Who would hear about it?
Speaker 2: We'd hit bases from Alaska to Lee County, Florida, they
Speaker 2: would hear about it everywhere.
Speaker 1: I'd see that that's why certain professions are off limits
Speaker 1: to me because of my stomach.
Speaker 2: You got a bad stomach, horrible stomach?
Speaker 1: Really yeah, I've never been really diagnosed, but I just have,
Speaker 1: you know, years and years, decades and decades of every
Speaker 1: year knowing that I'm going to ship myself at least
Speaker 1: once or twice.
Speaker 2: So you do that annually, you shit yourself? Would you say?
Speaker 1: Yeah? You know, long since the days where it's actually
Speaker 1: in my pants. Now it's like I'm if I have to,
Speaker 1: I'm like running in the woods and you know, I'm
Speaker 1: on the pch climbing down a rock cliff and like
Speaker 1: hiding in a cove. That's my world.
Speaker 2: I thought you were just gonna say, like backstage at
Speaker 2: the Haha factory or.
Speaker 1: Nothing like that. I'm not. First of all, I'm above
Speaker 1: the ha ha factor. I'm over at the Chumash Casino
Speaker 1: and they got a back dare you beautiful green room? Bathroom?
Speaker 1: You e her find random things inside of humans? Yes?
Speaker 2: Absolutely, I found multiple random things instead of one human
Speaker 2: the one person. Yeah, he had like an awallo thermis
Speaker 2: where was it in his ass? A with an avocado?
Speaker 1: He had a and well he had a thermises up
Speaker 1: his button and an avocado, which was first the thermis,
Speaker 1: the thermost was for any chased it with an avocado.
Speaker 2: And then there was a swiffer stick. He was trying
Speaker 2: to pry it out.
Speaker 1: It was just like he was trying to get around it.
Speaker 1: He was, yeah, just to like play it out. And
Speaker 1: but a swiffer stick is at least that's not like,
Speaker 1: you know what he needed. I've got one of those
Speaker 1: long metal shoehorns.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that would have been probably a little more practical.
Speaker 1: That probably could have done it. Wait, wait, hold on,
Speaker 1: how did you know this was his in his butt? Well?
Speaker 2: He called nine and one in the middle of the
Speaker 2: night and he was like, my stomach hurts, and I
Speaker 2: was like okay, and he's like, have you ever heard
Speaker 2: of people putting things inside their ass? I was, I mean,
Speaker 2: I guess okay. Then yeah, he fest out. I was like,
Speaker 2: what's in there? And he's like just told me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, So you didn't actually have to get it out, no, No,
Speaker 1: I just.
Speaker 2: Gave him some pain medicine and took him to the
Speaker 2: emergency room.
Speaker 1: And what do they do?
Speaker 2: I think you had to have like some sort of
Speaker 2: like surgery and dilate.
Speaker 1: Is does your does your butthole dilate?
Speaker 2: I mean he got it in there, so.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's amazing what people can get in their butts.
Speaker 1: That's just amazing. You use.
Speaker 2: Wet wipes sometimes? Yeah, is that a sponsor of the show?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 1: Okay, well why isn't it cottonell let's go anyway. Sorry,
Speaker 1: So that guy had, that guy had, that's the only
Speaker 1: person with things inside of him. Yeah, I would say,
Speaker 1: why did he need a helicopter?
Speaker 2: Oh he didn't. Eve This is when I was working
Speaker 2: on the ground on the ground ambulance. Yeah, this was
Speaker 2: just a rcond.
Speaker 1: They do you say ground ambulance?
Speaker 2: That seems stupid, Yeah, I mean it is when you're flying,
Speaker 2: it is stupid. But I think when you start flying,
Speaker 2: that's what you say, like, oh, they went by ground
Speaker 2: Like it's like a way to differentiate.
Speaker 1: Because I once knew this guy that played frisbee golf
Speaker 1: way too seriously, and he one time in conversation told me,
Speaker 1: you know, ball golf, and I said, hold hold on,
Speaker 1: you don't get to say ball, asshole, They're just golf.
Speaker 1: When you were a roadie, you were a roadie for
Speaker 1: a band or punk band, I always mocked bands, and
Speaker 1: you'll appreciate it because when you guys are on the struggle,
Speaker 1: it's still you're hanging out with your buddies. Even if
Speaker 1: you hate him, you know you're you're you're with a group.
Speaker 1: So it's like, that's not that's not that hard. Being
Speaker 1: alone in a hot as civic driving around the country.
Speaker 1: That's the depressing one.
Speaker 2: Is it you just in like a tour manager or
Speaker 2: is it no, there's no tour manager.
Speaker 1: You're making two hundred bucks a week. Tour manager, You're
Speaker 1: just you're sitting, You're edging all day while you're driving,
Speaker 1: just to stay awake. But then the flip side of
Speaker 1: that is my two hundred dollars a week, I at
Speaker 1: least got to keep it. You guys are spreading it
Speaker 1: five ways. That's awful. And there's just so much extra stuff.
Speaker 1: You guys have a so much junk, especially.
Speaker 2: At like the lower level we were doing it at.
Speaker 2: You're in a van, there's guitars, drums, you're trying to
Speaker 2: sell T shirts. No one's buying the CDs records.
Speaker 1: You still have any year old T shirts?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I saw some.
Speaker 1: That's pretty good. What's that shoe?
Speaker 2: Are you eleven and a half.
Speaker 1: Oh goody good, Yeah, I'm excited about that. Okay, why
Speaker 1: I'll tell you why. I give everybody this on my show.
Speaker 1: I give them a gift. It's just stuff for my
Speaker 1: house that I'm getting rid of. Okay. I got a
Speaker 1: lot of twelves shoes that I got to get rid
Speaker 1: of because wardrobe. They you're on shows, they give you stuff,
Speaker 1: but I don't wear them, right, you don't wear so
Speaker 1: many shoes shoes. I don't even have shoes on currently.
Speaker 1: I got my bombas on. Anyway, bring me out, bring
Speaker 1: me out my bin of shoes ship. See if there's
Speaker 1: anything in here that that that you're interested in. I
Speaker 1: mean you can, like just so you can tell. I
Speaker 1: guess that looks like it's been worn but not often
Speaker 1: barely though. Well yeah, sure, tons of them.
Speaker 2: Oh this is definitely above my pay grade.
Speaker 1: Yeah, those are golden goose. I'm told they're not as
Speaker 1: cool anymore.
Speaker 2: What do you need? What do I need?
Speaker 1: Do you need any shoes? Yes?
Speaker 2: I always need shoes.
Speaker 1: I mean, oh those are good. I like those for really?
