1 00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:05,480 Speaker 1: Kaboom. If you thought four hours a day, minutes a 2 00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:09,240 Speaker 1: week was enough, think again.

I enjoyed going blow by 16 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:11,880 Speaker 1: blow on what happened in the Alamo and in Argentina 17 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:16,759 Speaker 1: Friday's podcast. That was that was fun. And we'll shut 18 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,640 Speaker 1: up on that, all right, said we'll shut up. And 19 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:21,840 Speaker 1: I heard you were going to start some more ship 20 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:25,120 Speaker 1: on this podcast. Yes, that is the plan. The plan 21 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:29,199 Speaker 1: is to assemble the mall or militia. And I'll ask 22 00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 1: your opinion on this, Danny, whether I am out of 23 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:35,200 Speaker 1: bounds or inbounds. And we'll actually start with that now 24 00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:38,400 Speaker 1: on this Saturday edition in the fifth hour, we've got 25 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:42,920 Speaker 1: knocked on Heaven's door and they turned me away real 26 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 1: life impersonating an iPad oozing Pastrami, paradise and backscratcher. There's 27 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 1: a lot of stuff. There's a lot of content. There's 28 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,280 Speaker 1: a lot of meat. That is a lot of meat. 29 00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,320 Speaker 1: There's a lot of content to provide on a weekend. 30 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 1: What are we doing here? And alright, so for years 31 00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:07,280 Speaker 1: on our overnight show, we have pretty much ignored the angels. 32 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:09,600 Speaker 1: Why would you talk about them? Why would you talk 33 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,920 Speaker 1: about the angels of the show. They've sucked and other 34 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,919 Speaker 1: than Mike Trout hitting home runs or lately show Heyotani, 35 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,800 Speaker 1: they've been irrelevant and they've been that way for a 36 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:22,600 Speaker 1: long time. And so Mike Trout, the biggest name in 37 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,240 Speaker 1: baseball is he's still the biggest name in baseball, but 38 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:30,800 Speaker 1: he plays an obscurity in Annah. Now, I have a 39 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:32,799 Speaker 1: history with the age. When I was a kid, I 40 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 1: grew up in Orange County, not far from the Big A, 41 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,639 Speaker 1: and I spent a lot of time at Angel games. 42 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 1: I spent more time when I was a kid at 43 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 1: Angel games and Dodging games because it was geographically desirable 44 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 1: where I grew up, and I would during the summer 45 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 1: when I was out of school, I would hang out 46 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 1: of the Big A all the time. And then when 47 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 1: I got into radio, I was assigned to cover the 48 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 1: Dodgers and the Angels. So I was back in the 49 00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 1: in the nineties up until about ten twelve years ago. 50 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 1: Like I was out there, Danny, I was. I was 51 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:11,640 Speaker 1: hanging out at Anaheim Stadium, non style. That was my spot. 52 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 1: Whose food was better Dodger Stadium. They had better food, 53 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:18,799 Speaker 1: but and they had a few things that were good 54 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,919 Speaker 1: n Anaheim that I liked. So let's spend a lot 55 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,919 Speaker 1: of time there. I did my part back in those days, 56 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 1: and I talked about the Angels, and the Angels had 57 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 1: some teams that were playoff teams in those years. They 58 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:32,640 Speaker 1: had Mike Sosha and they were in the playoffs and 59 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 1: they won the World Series and O two all that. 60 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 1: But around the time I stopped going to the games, 61 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 1: there was a writer for the l A Times remember 62 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 1: again named t J. Simer's columnists. Of course, yeah, t 63 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 1: J was a hard oh and I was friends with 64 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 1: t J. Interesting cat so t J. Simmer's he was 65 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 1: a columnist for the l A. Times, and he got 66 00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 1: into a battle with Artie Marino, He's still Angels owner, 67 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:07,440 Speaker 1: and it got so ugly that the irrational Angels owner, 68 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 1: the billionaire owner of the Angels, decided he was so 69 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 1: upset with t J. Simers he was going to punish 70 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 1: all of the media that covered the Angels, all of 71 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 1: the media. Really smart moved there. So he moved the 72 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 1: press box, which had been traditionally for a hundred and 73 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:33,600 Speaker 1: forty years of baseball behind home plate. He moved it 74 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 1: down near the right field foul poll. Yeah yeah yeah. 75 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 1: And he put a luxury box thing behind home plate. 76 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,880 Speaker 1: And that was his payback. That was his vengeance because 77 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,599 Speaker 1: t J said mean things about him and the Angels 78 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,040 Speaker 1: in the l A. Times, as I remember the story. 79 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 1: So anyway, after this happened, Danny, I went to how 80 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,880 Speaker 1: many games do you think after that? I would say 81 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:03,600 Speaker 1: zero one. I went to one game after that, and 82 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 1: I said, what are we doing here? I went I 83 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,599 Speaker 1: checked out the new setup was actually a Freeway series 84 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 1: game Dodgers and Angels, and I said, this is a 85 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 1: nothing burger. This is a waste of my time. I 86 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 1: mean it was insane. I was not interested in covering 87 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:23,720 Speaker 1: an inanimate object that yellow foul poll out in right field, 88 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 1: or giving traffic updates on the fifty seven Freeway which 89 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,920 Speaker 1: goes by the Big A, so I stopped going. Was 90 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 1: close to the Pearly Gates. So anyway, the other day 91 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:37,000 Speaker 1: I was like, you know what, maybe I should give 92 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,880 Speaker 1: them another chance. Maybe I should give them another chance. 93 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 1: I said, it's been twelve years or something like that. 94 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 1: You know, let's let bygones be bygones. Let's smoke the 95 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 1: piece pipe. I would like to work with Seth Rogan. 96 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 1: I think that would be really fun. Wonder why, And 97 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,599 Speaker 1: I'll give the Halos a shot. So I reached out 98 00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 1: and had the people at Fox Sports Ray Deo reach 99 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:04,159 Speaker 1: out for me to the Angels to get a press 100 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 1: pass for the season. I know Joe Madden a little bit. 101 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:08,800 Speaker 1: I was around him a lot when he was a 102 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 1: coach for the Angels, so I thought it'd be cool. 103 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:13,600 Speaker 1: Joe's a cool guy to chat with. He's a good 104 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 1: bullshit artists. I thought it would be fun and what 105 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:18,279 Speaker 1: I would just get some stories for the show. I 106 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:20,360 Speaker 1: go these games, there's a lot of things that happened, 107 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:22,679 Speaker 1: and to be honest with that, I would just likely 108 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,840 Speaker 1: go for batting practice because that's where you get all 109 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,799 Speaker 1: the good stuff. And then when the game started, I'd 110 00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,160 Speaker 1: probably take off watch it on TV because you can't 111 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:34,560 Speaker 1: see it from the press box, and so it's anyway, 112 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:39,599 Speaker 1: and that is the backdrop. The request was made and 113 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 1: I I looked at my inbox earlier this week and 114 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:47,920 Speaker 1: I get get an email from the Angels, and sure enough, 115 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:55,280 Speaker 1: I had knocked on Heaven's door and they denied. They 116 00:06:55,360 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 1: denied the request for for media credentials, which is fascinating 117 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,680 Speaker 1: me because the Angels have always my entire life complained 118 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 1: that they're the junior varsity, that the l A media 119 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:10,239 Speaker 1: doesn't cover them, they get no national publicity. They've always 120 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 1: been upset by this, at least seemingly upset. And so 121 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 1: the Angels some pr hacks some woman I don't calm down. 122 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 1: I guess I know you're uh, some woman named Grace Macnami. 123 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:28,520 Speaker 1: I don't know who that is. I've never heard of her. 124 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:31,440 Speaker 1: Everyone I knew that worked for the Angels either in 125 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 1: jail like the guy that gave the drugs to the picture, 126 00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:38,560 Speaker 1: or is out of baseball. So I don't know who 127 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,200 Speaker 1: this woman is. I have known, no idea. I wouldn't 128 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 1: know her from the light post across the street. Sexist anyway, 129 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,239 Speaker 1: So she she her name was on the the letter 130 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 1: and it said, uh, it said here, let's see here. 131 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 1: We've received a tremendous amount of athletes for season credentials, 132 00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:01,760 Speaker 1: and unfortunately we can credential a fraction of those that applied. Well, 133 00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 1: of course, my response would be, well, that's true because 134 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 1: you've got rid of the press box twelve years ago 135 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,560 Speaker 1: because your owner is a lunatic. Uh. And then also 136 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,280 Speaker 1: the fact that you you've opened it up and you're 137 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,520 Speaker 1: getting a lot of attention with the Japanese media because 138 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 1: of Otani. So there's that contingent. It just seems like 139 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 1: a bit shortsighted. I'm biased, obviously, Danny on this, but 140 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:27,480 Speaker 1: not that I'm any good. But I have a pretty good, 141 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:32,600 Speaker 1: pretty good megaphone that I have access to, and that's 142 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:36,199 Speaker 1: a that's a megaphone that's on almost five hundred radio stations. 143 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,280 Speaker 1: Across the country with a lot of big time sports 144 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:42,440 Speaker 1: fans and major markets, some of the biggest sports stock 145 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 1: radio stations in the country that that show gets carried 146 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 1: on and more importantly for the Angels because they want 147 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:51,319 Speaker 1: to sell tickets and have people excited about their team. Uh, 148 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:53,040 Speaker 1: the show we do is you know, Danny on a 149 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,800 Speaker 1: M five sevent in the Los Angeles market, which is 150 00:08:55,840 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 1: the number one sports station in l A and has 151 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:04,080 Speaker 1: the Dodgers. It's the it's the enemy team in the 152 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 1: l A market, and our show comes on when the 153 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:11,080 Speaker 1: Dodgers are on the West Coast after Dodging talk. Yeah, 154 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 1: if anything, I would see the name, I would know 155 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 1: you're on a M five seventy every night if I 156 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:20,319 Speaker 1: was smart in their marketing department or their communications department. 157 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,960 Speaker 1: This is a great opportunity to have this guy talk 158 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 1: about our team instead of the team that that station carries. Yeah, 159 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,920 Speaker 1: and that station M five seventies owned by the Dodgers. 160 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:35,960 Speaker 1: I mean, it's partially owned by the Dodgers. So it 161 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 1: shows you what a bunch of brownies the Angels have 162 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:41,040 Speaker 1: in their communications department. So it was a chance, you know, 163 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:42,400 Speaker 1: I would have I would have been out there. I 164 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 1: would have been a good soldier. I would have gone 165 00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 1: out and experienced things and just going to the ballpark 166 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 1: and talking to people with the Angels. I staw have 167 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,120 Speaker 1: friends that worked for the Angels, a few of them, 168 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 1: not many. Our buddy Gooby still does the Angel games 169 00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:57,120 Speaker 1: on TV. We've known Mark Ubaza for a long time, 170 00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,960 Speaker 1: former Fox Sports Radio baseball insider guy many years ago. 171 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:05,199 Speaker 1: That was the deal. So the Angels denied my access 172 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:09,839 Speaker 1: and uh so we will Instead of me going out there, 173 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:13,480 Speaker 1: They'll let Joe blow from TikTok Or. I'm sure the 174 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 1: media from Japan will do a fine job covering the 175 00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:18,560 Speaker 1: Angels and that will help them get a lot of 176 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:21,520 Speaker 1: fans in l A. So I I would never be 177 00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,480 Speaker 1: like me to put the whammy on the on the Halos. 178 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:26,440 Speaker 1: I'll leave it up to the Mallew militia how they 179 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:28,600 Speaker 1: want me to handle this. Would that be wrong if 180 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,000 Speaker 1: I put the whammy on the Halos or would I 181 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:36,680 Speaker 1: do that? No, this is why the Angels are the Angels. Yes, 182 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 1: this is this is not good business, but that's the Angels. 183 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:44,640 Speaker 1: That's the operation they have there. And I believe if 184 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:46,480 Speaker 1: I if I made this a big deal and put 185 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,439 Speaker 1: the whammy on them. That would be publicity. In any 186 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:52,560 Speaker 1: publicity is good publicity. So it's more than likely, Danny 187 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:54,880 Speaker 1: that while I'll leave it up to the Mallew Militia, 188 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,320 Speaker 1: my my generals, my brigadier generals, and the Mallew Militia, 189 00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 1: ultimately it's more likely than not that I will just 190 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:03,480 Speaker 1: go back to what I've done for years and ignore 191 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:07,400 Speaker 1: the agents. So that's probably how that's gonna go. What's 192 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:10,360 Speaker 1: the lady's name again, the lady that send me an email, 193 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 1: her Grace mcnamie. I have no idea who that woman is. 194 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 1: I don't know anything about her, but she's the one 195 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:19,959 Speaker 1: the Angels Baseball Communication department. Well, I would never point 196 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:21,719 Speaker 1: out her name or anything. How do you spell the 197 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:26,839 Speaker 1: last name? I believe it's mc capital and a M e. 198 00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 1: I believe it's I'm sure she's a lovely woman, a 199 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,640 Speaker 1: nice woman, and she means well, she's just bad at 200 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:35,840 Speaker 1: her job. That happens, you know, And maybe she's just 201 00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 1: a messenger. Maybe it's other people that are incompetent their 202 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:40,400 Speaker 1: job and not her. I don't know. I don't really 203 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,960 Speaker 1: know anybody over there anymore in the PR department so 204 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 1: these are the questions that somebody might need to ask her. 205 00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,720 Speaker 1: These are all legitimate questions. These are all the legitimate questions. 206 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:55,319 Speaker 1: So moving on, We've got real life impersonating an iPad, 207 00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 1: which is something that's right out of a horror move 208 00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:10,000 Speaker 1: A little more calm than that, although although the scene 209 00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 1: when I walked outside it did kind of remind me 210 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 1: of a horror movie. I don't know. I'm not obviously 211 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 1: not the only one who does this, because I see 212 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:20,040 Speaker 1: these TV commercials all the time. I think lebron was 213 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 1: even the face of this company that calm at Have 214 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:26,600 Speaker 1: you ever tried that? Oh? Is this the thing you're 215 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,360 Speaker 1: supposed to do before bed? Is that the or you 216 00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:32,880 Speaker 1: can the free version of it on your iPad or 217 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:37,000 Speaker 1: your phone. I want to say, maybe like five different scenes, 218 00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:43,200 Speaker 1: like a mountain spring, a lake, a nighttime scene, there's 219 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,520 Speaker 1: like a rain setting, and you just put this on 220 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:48,560 Speaker 1: and you know, keep it on for as long as 221 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 1: you want to either sleep with it in the background 222 00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:55,520 Speaker 1: or just help you fall asleep. So I use this 223 00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,840 Speaker 1: from time to time because as you doesn't work for me? 224 00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:02,160 Speaker 1: It does? Yeah, yeah, for me it does. I don't 225 00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:05,440 Speaker 1: use it every night, but there's certain nights whereas you know, 226 00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,560 Speaker 1: because of what we do for a living, we've battled 227 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:12,160 Speaker 1: insomnia from time to time. It happens all yeah, yeah, 228 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 1: we're doing weird hours. We're working a lot. So there's 229 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:19,319 Speaker 1: this one setting on there. There's like mountains in the background, 230 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:22,160 Speaker 1: there's a body of water. It's like what you would 231 00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:29,320 Speaker 1: hear at night. You start to hear owls, and I 232 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:31,560 Speaker 1: kind of like that. I I wasn't sure what to 233 00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,720 Speaker 1: think at first, because I would always use their slide 234 00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 1: that was the rain falling, and that got boring. So 235 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 1: I'm like, I need a new one, so I switched 236 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 1: to the one with the owls, you know. And at 237 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:45,360 Speaker 1: the time, I'm living in Burbank, which is a big 238 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:49,439 Speaker 1: city in southern California, right in the middle too, like downtown. 239 00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 1: So in the middle of an inner city. Normally I 240 00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:57,920 Speaker 1: hear people arguing outside doors, slamming the neighbor on the 241 00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:01,240 Speaker 1: other side of the fence, dancing to Arabic music, smoking 242 00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:08,800 Speaker 1: their hookah at all hours of the day. Isn't that nice? 243 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:12,360 Speaker 1: It was awesome. Those were the soothing sounds I was 244 00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 1: used to. Now fast forward to right now, I am 245 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:19,800 Speaker 1: now living right on the outskirts of the San Fernando 246 00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:23,720 Speaker 1: Valley as you start to enter Ventura County. This setting 247 00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 1: here Ben is more like yours that they're in the 248 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:31,000 Speaker 1: north Woods. There's mountains, there's lots of trees. It's foreign 249 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,760 Speaker 1: to me that there's no smog, the sky is clear. 250 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,760 Speaker 1: It is odd, right, I lived in in the city 251 00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:42,280 Speaker 1: for twenty years. I lived in l A Hollywood probably 252 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,160 Speaker 1: longer than that. I can't believe it's been that long, 253 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 1: dating myself. But it is weird to get back out 254 00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:50,000 Speaker 1: and see like trees and stuff. It's odd, it is, 255 00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:54,640 Speaker 1: and for me because there's always this haze that covers 256 00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,920 Speaker 1: Burbank unless there's a really nice rain for a couple 257 00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:01,760 Speaker 1: of days that cleans the sky, and then in Burbank 258 00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:04,040 Speaker 1: we'd all be looking around like where are we? What 259 00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 1: is this? But it's like that every day here. So 260 00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:10,600 Speaker 1: there's times where I'm just looking up at the blue 261 00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:14,800 Speaker 1: sky and I'm like, this is freaking amazing. Um. So 262 00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:18,920 Speaker 1: I have to get used to the new sights and sounds. Well, 263 00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:22,080 Speaker 1: I didn't have my camm app on the other night, 264 00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:26,320 Speaker 1: but I started hearing owls and it was two owls, 265 00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:30,560 Speaker 1: very loud, like almost like they were on my patio. Okay, 266 00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:35,000 Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't have my iPad open. I sometimes 267 00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:37,400 Speaker 1: my girl will play that app from her phone. I 268 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,600 Speaker 1: look over her phone is not playing this. I'm so 269 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:46,320 Speaker 1: confused because I'm like, where is this coming from? So 270 00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:49,720 Speaker 1: I go downstairs, I walk out to the parking area 271 00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:55,040 Speaker 1: and Ben, these are the sounds of these owls. Was like, 272 00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:58,840 Speaker 1: this huge owl was right above me. I've never heard 273 00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,880 Speaker 1: an owl so out and so close to me. Now, 274 00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:04,440 Speaker 1: I might just sound like a city slicker here, but 275 00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 1: it freaked me out. And then this owl's hooting. You know, 276 00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:10,040 Speaker 1: I wish I could do an owl sound effect. Maybe 277 00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:16,520 Speaker 1: I can find one. Can you do an owl? Who? Wrong? 278 00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,920 Speaker 1: Like that? It might be the best part of this podcast. 279 00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,400 Speaker 1: I'm really good at impersonations. Bag come on out there. 280 00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:31,200 Speaker 1: And then just down the street a little bit, another 281 00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:34,480 Speaker 1: owl at the neighbors is talking back to the owl 282 00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:36,720 Speaker 1: that I now owned. So they're having so let me 283 00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:41,520 Speaker 1: let me try again. Here's try here we go. Ready, ready, Yeah, 284 00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:47,480 Speaker 1: how was that? You're cheating? You and your damn sound effects? 285 00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:49,480 Speaker 1: I got my toy, I gotta I gotta play with it, 286 00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:54,280 Speaker 1: but I was I mean you because of where you 287 00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:57,480 Speaker 1: live and where you've lived in Orange County, you probably 288 00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:01,640 Speaker 1: heard loud owls before, but I have not. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 289 00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:03,960 Speaker 1: yeah for sure. And I noticed, like when I go 290 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,800 Speaker 1: to bed sometimes out in the north woods here there'll 291 00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:09,120 Speaker 1: be birds, Like you can tell when the birds wake up, 292 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:11,800 Speaker 1: like it's it's out of a Disney movie, an old 293 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:14,200 Speaker 1: Disney movie where the birds are singing to each other 294 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:19,119 Speaker 1: in the morning. It's one of those birds going wold. 295 00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:23,040 Speaker 1: And now these owls can be so loud. Their sound 296 00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:27,720 Speaker 1: almost like reverberates to trip. Yeah. I mean I stood 297 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:29,919 Speaker 1: out there for a good ten minutes just listening to 298 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:33,840 Speaker 1: these owls, and then I walked back upstairs, laid back down, 299 00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:36,760 Speaker 1: and I wanted to turn the volume down on my 300 00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:42,680 Speaker 1: iPad because like, these fuckers are too loud. I love 301 00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:44,920 Speaker 1: the sound on the com at, but I can adjust 302 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:48,560 Speaker 1: that volume. Yeah. Question from the class, did you consider 303 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:52,720 Speaker 1: going out and recording the owls and then just using 304 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:57,680 Speaker 1: that as you're in a loop, as you know, next 305 00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:00,520 Speaker 1: time they show up here outside, I'm to do that. 306 00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:02,919 Speaker 1: You should. You don't need the commap, you can do 307 00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:08,640 Speaker 1: it yourself right there. Absolutely. Uh yeah, things I'm gonna 308 00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:12,399 Speaker 1: have to get used to man, what kind of owls 309 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,920 Speaker 1: were they? Did you see him like what they look like? No? No, 310 00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:18,240 Speaker 1: it couldn't see them. But the one here in front 311 00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:20,720 Speaker 1: of my place sounded like he was in the tree 312 00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:25,359 Speaker 1: right outside. Don't owls like come down and kill rats 313 00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:27,000 Speaker 1: and stuff? Isn't that what they eat? Am I right 314 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:28,960 Speaker 1: on that? Or no? Yeah, no, you're right. That's why 315 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,200 Speaker 1: my girl is scared to walk her little rat dog 316 00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:36,040 Speaker 1: at night. Oh, I think the owl's gonna be like, 317 00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:38,280 Speaker 1: I want to I want to snack and yeah, poor 318 00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:45,480 Speaker 1: Daisy the dog dog looks it looks exciting. Uh yeah, 319 00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:50,399 Speaker 1: there you go. All right. Uh So, since this is 320 00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:52,240 Speaker 1: the Saturday part, it's all about the life of Mouth. 321 00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:54,560 Speaker 1: Part of it isn't he and Danny Life of Malle 322 00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:58,520 Speaker 1: Life of Danny? So last weekend, this is a little 323 00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:00,439 Speaker 1: thing happening behind the scenes at the Mouth our mansion. 324 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:04,480 Speaker 1: So we were trying to get this backyard timer thing working. 325 00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:08,000 Speaker 1: There was a timer on the backyard light back of 326 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:11,760 Speaker 1: the house, which seems like a rather simple thing for 327 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:16,640 Speaker 1: someone to do. It's not trigonometry, but this was advanced calculus. 328 00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:19,720 Speaker 1: Because we didn't we didn't put that thing in and 329 00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:23,520 Speaker 1: we didn't really know much about it. But you know something, 330 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:27,320 Speaker 1: since we hadn't installed it, we didn't know the instructions 331 00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:32,000 Speaker 1: and all that, and after finagling with it, I just 332 00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:35,480 Speaker 1: had no idea. So I was laying in bed, It's 333 00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:39,640 Speaker 1: like two in the morning, and I'm contemplating how how 334 00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:43,240 Speaker 1: terrible I am at adult stuff like this is something 335 00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:45,239 Speaker 1: a grown up person should be able to do, like 336 00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:48,600 Speaker 1: my dad would do it in two minutes being around. Unfortunately, 337 00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:52,199 Speaker 1: So I'm like, oh, this sucks. I can't figure it out. Wife, 338 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:56,040 Speaker 1: she couldn't figure it out, and so we're like, you know, 339 00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:58,520 Speaker 1: some land in bed. I'm contemplating situation, and then I 340 00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:00,679 Speaker 1: fell down a rabbit hole. I went on YouTube, like 341 00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:02,920 Speaker 1: you know what, I'm gonna go on YouTube and I 342 00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:07,200 Speaker 1: searching timers for lights and eventually I'll find the right one. 343 00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:11,520 Speaker 1: So I started looking. I'm watching dozens, I'm clicking through 344 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:14,159 Speaker 1: dozens of videos because I'm trying to find the one 345 00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:16,560 Speaker 1: that looks just like the one on the wall from 346 00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:22,280 Speaker 1: random timers and Whaila. After a long time searching, I 347 00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:28,159 Speaker 1: found a video it's six years old from and it 348 00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:31,840 Speaker 1: had the info that I needed. So I popped out 349 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,320 Speaker 1: of bed and media I was half asleep at the time, 350 00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:38,679 Speaker 1: jumped out of bed and I start going down to 351 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,040 Speaker 1: where I need to go or I'm sprinting down the 352 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,679 Speaker 1: steps to go to the room where the wall timer is. 353 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:48,600 Speaker 1: And somehow, in my haste to get this thing programmed, 354 00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:53,200 Speaker 1: I had I had kicked my big toe on my 355 00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:57,720 Speaker 1: left foot against either a step or the wall. I'm 356 00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,760 Speaker 1: not sure what it was dark, but I didn't think 357 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:03,400 Speaker 1: much of it, Dade, I think much of it at time. 358 00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:06,880 Speaker 1: So I'm sitting on the sofa. I'm watching the YouTube 359 00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,080 Speaker 1: video over and over again so I get the exact 360 00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:12,440 Speaker 1: code to put in there. Yeah, so I'm saying, I'm 361 00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:15,720 Speaker 1: I'm I'm sitting on the sofa. And after I got 362 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:20,640 Speaker 1: done with the thing of a jig, I noticed there's 363 00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:25,200 Speaker 1: like some some like this wet stuff on the sofa 364 00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:28,560 Speaker 1: right and I'm like, uh, you know, what did I 365 00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:30,480 Speaker 1: did I have an accident? Am I getting that old 366 00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:35,560 Speaker 1: where maybe something happened there in consonance or something? And no, 367 00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:39,400 Speaker 1: So I looked down and I'm like, holy folk, it's 368 00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:43,879 Speaker 1: like a crime scene, Danny. There's this big puddle of 369 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:48,960 Speaker 1: blood right in the middle of the sofa. Yeah, yeah, 370 00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:53,080 Speaker 1: sure enough. When I made my bull rush to get 371 00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:57,280 Speaker 1: and fix the timer. I had kicked my left big toe, 372 00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:02,160 Speaker 1: and then part is I didn't really notice the blood. 373 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:06,719 Speaker 1: It started using blood. I am the definition of a loser, 374 00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:10,200 Speaker 1: and I was so focused on the task at hand 375 00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:12,959 Speaker 1: that I didn't realize what was going on. So so 376 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:16,520 Speaker 1: then I had to do the embarrassing wake up call 377 00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:20,320 Speaker 1: to the wife's as you sleeping, like, hey, I need 378 00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:23,800 Speaker 1: a little help down here, and I was like, and 379 00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:26,400 Speaker 1: it's not. I wasn't even concerned about the toe because 380 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:28,199 Speaker 1: I've cut my toe like that where it's bled a 381 00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:30,679 Speaker 1: loot before in the past. But I was like, this 382 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:35,160 Speaker 1: sofa is gonna get ruined. I'm like, we gotta clean 383 00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:38,400 Speaker 1: that thing up, like right now, right now, clean it up. 384 00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,080 Speaker 1: It was it only on the sofa or did it 385 00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,679 Speaker 1: get on the floor as well well? A little bit 386 00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:45,160 Speaker 1: down on the floor. I wasn't worried about the floor 387 00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:46,960 Speaker 1: because we have like the tile whatever, you can clean 388 00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,960 Speaker 1: that up right away, but the the sofa, and once 389 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:54,399 Speaker 1: it soaks in, that's it over man. And so fortunately 390 00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:59,320 Speaker 1: we got it just in time and my wife was 391 00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:02,440 Speaker 1: able to clean end it up and I was hopping 392 00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:05,040 Speaker 1: on my right foot the rest of the day there, 393 00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:09,040 Speaker 1: and I'm now in the process. I've I've kicked my toe, 394 00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:10,600 Speaker 1: my big feet. So if every once in a while 395 00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:14,240 Speaker 1: this happens. So I'm at the point now where it's 396 00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:18,960 Speaker 1: like a monster thing, you know. I'm waiting for the 397 00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:20,639 Speaker 1: I'm waiting for the time. I know what that is. 398 00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:23,119 Speaker 1: I'm waiting for the toe nail to fall off my 399 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:26,160 Speaker 1: big toe on my left foot. I currently have a 400 00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:29,800 Speaker 1: bandage wrapping the big toe nail, but it's hanging on 401 00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:33,600 Speaker 1: by a threat. Yeah, hanging on by a threat. So 402 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:36,640 Speaker 1: that was how I spent part of my Saturday. Uh 403 00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:41,080 Speaker 1: and then also I had Pastrami Paradise saw over the weekend. 404 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:43,040 Speaker 1: My wife had to work an extra shift. She's a 405 00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:44,720 Speaker 1: nine one one operation, so she had to go back 406 00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:46,920 Speaker 1: to the police station. I looked around. I was like, 407 00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:48,880 Speaker 1: I want to go to a game. There were no games. 408 00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:53,119 Speaker 1: Baseball hadn't started yet and there the NBA teams were 409 00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:57,880 Speaker 1: not playing. There was nothing. I ended up cruising around 410 00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,280 Speaker 1: the Golden State. It was like an epid. So we're old, 411 00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:03,439 Speaker 1: so we remember that guy Huell Houser that was on 412 00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:07,960 Speaker 1: PBS years ago in California, gold in search of California's 413 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:10,480 Speaker 1: ago And it was funny because he'd go to the 414 00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:13,119 Speaker 1: most boring places and he'd make he'd sound like this 415 00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:15,040 Speaker 1: was the most exciting thing in the world. That was like, 416 00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:17,359 Speaker 1: what are you doing? You're at it. You're at a 417 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:20,159 Speaker 1: building made out of tin cans. It's not here. Was 418 00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:24,960 Speaker 1: this reservoir made? Yeah, the funniest. I still laugh about it. 419 00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:28,520 Speaker 1: It's I think it's on YouTube. Huell Houser went to 420 00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:33,560 Speaker 1: an animal retreat and there was injured animals and he 421 00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:37,719 Speaker 1: went to a south bear. He said, look, it's Louis. 422 00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:41,320 Speaker 1: Look it's a bear. It's a three legged bear. Or 423 00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:44,000 Speaker 1: yeah he was missing yeah, yeah, I was missing one 424 00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:48,840 Speaker 1: of the arms there. So it was it was hilarious. Yeah, 425 00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:52,080 Speaker 1: so I read it. I ended up in Apple Valley. 426 00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:56,080 Speaker 1: That's aent of the way to Vegas. You go to 427 00:24:56,119 --> 00:25:00,679 Speaker 1: the Roy Rogers Museum. I did not, but I I 428 00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:04,280 Speaker 1: made an Errandre had drop drops some off there and 429 00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:05,960 Speaker 1: and I have about it. So I did that and 430 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:10,199 Speaker 1: then drove out back here. I did stop at the 431 00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:14,040 Speaker 1: Costco and Victorville to get gas, hoping it would be 432 00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:17,280 Speaker 1: a lot cheaper, but it was not. No, the only 433 00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:21,480 Speaker 1: thing cheaper. There is a meth. I didn't pick any 434 00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:23,359 Speaker 1: of that up, unfortunately, but if Jed who fled, had 435 00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:25,480 Speaker 1: been there, he would have bought plenty of it. And 436 00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:29,160 Speaker 1: then I hopped back on the highway, traveled back down 437 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:33,120 Speaker 1: the hill into the the l A area and zoomed 438 00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:41,520 Speaker 1: all the way past downtown Mission, Pastrami Paradise and no, 439 00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:44,719 Speaker 1: no Langers. It was closed. Langers closes at four o'clock. 440 00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:47,840 Speaker 1: This was at night. So I went to my backup 441 00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:52,000 Speaker 1: option and I met somebody who was your mortal enemy. 442 00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:54,359 Speaker 1: But I think you've made up. I haven't seen this 443 00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:57,560 Speaker 1: guy in many years. The Prince of Darkness lead line, 444 00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:02,600 Speaker 1: oh and uh and so the original Prince of Darkness 445 00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:05,280 Speaker 1: and you know, had Lee on the podcast for a 446 00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:07,400 Speaker 1: long time. We've been buddies, and I hadn't seen him 447 00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:09,840 Speaker 1: because of COVID. He would not leave his house for 448 00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:13,439 Speaker 1: multiple years, and so finally got him to leave his house. 449 00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:16,120 Speaker 1: And he's been on the show and stuff, and so 450 00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:18,480 Speaker 1: we spent many nights back in the day press boxes 451 00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:20,840 Speaker 1: and he used to work at Calfi and some other 452 00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:25,880 Speaker 1: big stations, and so we we shared old stories and hunkered, 453 00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:28,399 Speaker 1: and he was hunkering down during COVID, and we went 454 00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:31,159 Speaker 1: to this place, Johnny's Pastrami, which is right across the 455 00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:36,600 Speaker 1: parking lot from Tito's Tacos and Culver City. And when 456 00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:40,919 Speaker 1: we started going there, these sandwiches were like eight bucks, 457 00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:44,919 Speaker 1: and we complained they were too expensive. Now they're like 458 00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:48,719 Speaker 1: twenty bucks, so it's gone up. The tacos, which used 459 00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:50,720 Speaker 1: to be two dollars, we complained there were two dollars 460 00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:54,760 Speaker 1: at Tito's are now like five dollar tacos. So could 461 00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:59,560 Speaker 1: leave throw any uh racist remarks in between his complaining 462 00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:03,320 Speaker 1: about the prices. Uh no, no, he did annoy the waitress, 463 00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:04,960 Speaker 1: though he did annoy the way he was. He was 464 00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:09,360 Speaker 1: giving the waitress a hard time, So that was anyway. 465 00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:13,520 Speaker 1: So uh that was that and the little pricey good 466 00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:15,639 Speaker 1: meal and good chatting. We spent a lot of time 467 00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:19,520 Speaker 1: in the parking lot just shooting the crap about random 468 00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:21,959 Speaker 1: people and our good friends Norm, my guy Norm, who 469 00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:25,400 Speaker 1: I knew him since I was nineteen. He moved to Florida. 470 00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:27,560 Speaker 1: He left California too, He left the People's Republic A 471 00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:30,640 Speaker 1: California go to Florida, and so we were catching up 472 00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:32,280 Speaker 1: on him and what he's been up to.

Yeah, there's a 489 00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:33,600 Speaker 1: lot of red tape to do it. That's why most 490 00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:36,760 Speaker 1: people don't. Lazy people would call it red tape.
