That's Trump doing something I'm sure he's 43 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 2: done many times. So we have a deal. The other 44 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:39,800 Speaker 2: party's like, wait, what. 45 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 5: So we'll get that car in there and we'll we'll 46 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 5: get it shined up, washed for you, and then it'll 47 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:45,239 Speaker 5: be Wait a second, I didn't say one of the 48 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 5: US sign those papers. 49 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

When you get 53 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 5: round it up, he might end up. 54 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:07,120 Speaker 2: A get moo. I don't know. I don't know the 55 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,920 Speaker 2: gittmo thing. It's a publicity sun, but I's kind of 56 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 2: like it. David Hog was officially ousted as the vice 57 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:16,520 Speaker 2: chair of the DNCA. 58 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 5: So the kid's last name is Hog spelled with two g's, 59 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 5: and then you decided to make a pig noise before 60 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:21,919 Speaker 5: you wrecked? 61 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:26,640 Speaker 2: Okay, exactly. Yes. After he launched a campaign to unseat 62 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:30,520 Speaker 2: Asleep at the Wheel incumbent Democrats, he then put out 63 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:35,839 Speaker 2: a statement that, interestingly enough, was actually quite good. Yeah, 64 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 2: I saw most of it. Saw it was essentially, look, 65 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 2: these government people are there for themselves. These thirty year incumbents. 66 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 2: They don't care about their constituents. They just care about 67 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 2: growing their own power in that of the government. That 68 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 2: is correct, mister Swine. On the other hand, your policy 69 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 2: prescriptions all are terrible, but you're right about that pass. 70 00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 2: Now go wee wee wee all the way home. You 71 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 2: have a winner. It's the punch line I was looking for. Yeah, 72 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 2: let's see, you're on your inflation lower number than many 73 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 2: had feared. Let's see. Oh and yes, Jack, you know, 74 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,480 Speaker 2: one of my favorite political stories right now is how 75 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 2: all these conservative outlets are backing Andrew Cuomo for mayor 76 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:29,720 Speaker 2: of New York because he's the least horrible choice. He's 77 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:34,360 Speaker 2: running against social various brands of socialists and full out communists, 78 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,159 Speaker 2: and so, yeah, Andrew Cuomo is the guy. Let's go 79 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:40,320 Speaker 2: with Andrew Cuomo. Let's all rally around Andrew Cuomo. We 80 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 2: can't have him a communist win the marriage him. And 81 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,719 Speaker 2: so yeah, all kinds of people have endorsed him, and 82 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:46,880 Speaker 2: I love you. 83 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 6: And I mean he's he's all kinds of a crook 84 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:56,840 Speaker 6: and a liar and and horrible judgment and you know, 85 00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,680 Speaker 6: grew up in rom Yeah, just all kinds of But 86 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 6: he's a best choice. 87 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:02,919 Speaker 2: He's better than a communist Excelsior. 88 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:09,280 Speaker 6: He's gonna be the freaking mayor of New York. I mean, 89 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:10,479 Speaker 6: I mean it might be. 90 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 2: It's a it's a mayor as opposed to the president. 91 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 2: So Trump still wins, but it might be in a 92 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 2: more amazing comeback than Trump. I mean, it's just he 93 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:23,080 Speaker 2: was he killed old people in light about it, right, 94 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:28,919 Speaker 2: There is a greater truth here about the nature of 95 00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 2: the electorate in deep blue cities. I mean, you look 96 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 2: at Chicago for instance. Brandon Johnson is he is a 97 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:44,279 Speaker 2: Union hack, He's a social he's a Marxist, he's a 98 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:52,680 Speaker 2: moron two. Michael, Yeah, the great I remember a few 99 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:57,800 Speaker 2: stand ups ago when I talked about what terrorism looks like. 100 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:00,080 Speaker 2: This is it. 101 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 1: There should be no question to what our country would 102 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 1: look like had the Confederacy won. 103 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:08,239 Speaker 2: What we're seeing it on full display. Are we talking 104 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 2: about the Ice Raids? Is a full display of what 105 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 2: America would have been like if the Confederacy had won. 106 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,919 Speaker 2: Except a couple of things there, Brandon, and I'll speak 107 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:25,479 Speaker 2: slowly because you're an fing idiot. The Confederacy wasn't trying 108 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 2: to take over the Union. Okay, So if they'd have won, 109 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 2: it just would have been there, just those few states. Okay. Uh. Secondly, 110 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 2: what the idea that? Wow? Wow? So this is the 111 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,720 Speaker 2: what terrorism looks like. And if the KKK had won, 112 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 2: what a jackass? Anyway, what do we do other than 113 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 2: voting with our feet? With an electorate? And granted, don't 114 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 2: just picture ordinary voters when I say the electorate in 115 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,360 Speaker 2: the big cities like Chicago and New York and to 116 00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 2: a large degree in Sacramento, the capitol of California too. 117 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 2: It's it's the unions, the concentrated interests of various pressure groups, 118 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:23,000 Speaker 2: primarily public employee unions, that win the day every single time. Yeah, 119 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 2: because you know, obviously there's got to be something like 120 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 2: that going on, or you'd end up with a better 121 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,120 Speaker 2: candidate than Andrew freaking Cuomo. 122 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 5: And how old is he, Katie? How old Isandra Cuomo? 123 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:32,200 Speaker 5: Can you look that up for me? 124 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 2: So he's super old. He's a crook, he's a groper. 125 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 2: He lied about killing old people, so its judgment is horrible. 126 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:40,400 Speaker 2: But he's i's a mobster. 127 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, but he's sixty seven. 128 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,040 Speaker 2: Okay, he's a young man compared to oh, he's a 129 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 2: child in American politics these days. Boy, that's a troubling story. 130 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 2: And speaking of troubling, you know this was going to 131 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 2: be my bridge to another story. I'll hold off on that. 132 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:59,360 Speaker 2: I will tell you this, Jack, beloved American institution that 133 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 2: you're a big fan of might be bought by the 134 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 2: Katari royal family. Oh what is it? Papa John's Pizza? 135 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 2: Something happened with Papa John's. I don't know. 136 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 5: I feel like they changed the recipe. That happens a 137 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 5: lot with pizza joints they get popular. 138 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 2: I don't know that this happened with Papa John's. I 139 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:21,440 Speaker 2: do know that it's happened with some of my other 140 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 2: favorite national pizzas where they lay hashtag me too. Papa 141 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:29,640 Speaker 2: John himself right and drove them away. But there's like 142 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,160 Speaker 2: one of my pizza favorite piece of places. I mean, 143 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 2: if you were trying to stay out of the rain, 144 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:36,679 Speaker 2: maybe you would craft a hut to keep the rain 145 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,920 Speaker 2: off your head. But their pizza used to be great 146 00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,600 Speaker 2: back in the day. It started in Kansas, and then 147 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 2: the price stayed the same for decades. How'd you do 148 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:49,600 Speaker 2: that with the ingredients going down to where it's just horrible. 149 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 2: Now in my mind, I said, there's a huge sector 150 00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:54,840 Speaker 2: of the pizza market that's all about cheap. Yeah, and 151 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,319 Speaker 2: there's only one way to win that sector. 152 00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:03,360 Speaker 5: By being the cheapest. We'll so you go with a squeak, squeak, 153 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:05,120 Speaker 5: whatever meat you gotta use. 154 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,480 Speaker 2: And the cheese is just congealed grease from the taco 155 00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 2: stand next door. It's allegedly anyway. I don't know what 156 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:20,080 Speaker 2: sounded apossum makes or I would make it, but whatever's andy, man, 157 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:23,640 Speaker 2: whatever's Andy?

The 160 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,760 Speaker 2: Great Brian Wilson considered in a moment or two, what 161 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,880 Speaker 2: a crazy life? Would you consider him a musical genius? 162 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:39,240 Speaker 2: Fair to say? Yeah?

I mean, 168 00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 5: some of the stuff was recorded like sixty three it's 169 00:09:58,280 --> 00:09:59,079 Speaker 5: like wow. 170 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 2: And I include a controversial statement that will anger many 171 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:06,120 Speaker 2: of you in our discussion of the Beach Boys.

He 173 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 2: signed onto a guru that the state of California then 174 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:15,760 Speaker 2: forbid to ever work again. It was so crazy, all 175 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:17,319 Speaker 2: kinds of different stuff. I'll tell you about some of 176 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:23,240 Speaker 2: it coming back. So the news broke while we were 177 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 2: on the area yesterday that Brian Wilson of the Beach 178 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:27,439 Speaker 2: Boys had died at age eighty two. 179 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:30,520 Speaker 5: I wasn't sure how much attention it would get. 180 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,679 Speaker 2: But it got a ton throughout the day, every newscast, 181 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:35,600 Speaker 2: and then as I was watching the news today, a 182 00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:37,560 Speaker 2: lot of coverage and I can't figure out if it's 183 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:41,280 Speaker 2: what's probably a combination of how big the Beach Boys were, 184 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:46,199 Speaker 2: even though it's sixty years ago, was their heyday, and 185 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:48,480 Speaker 2: the fact that the audience for cable news is so old. 186 00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 5: But he was one of the great musical geniuses. Joe 187 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 5: knows way more about this stuff than I do. I 188 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:56,760 Speaker 5: used to know a lot more about music, but I 189 00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:00,560 Speaker 5: purposefully purged it from my brain and it's worked pretty well. 190 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,079 Speaker 2: There's lots of stuff that I don't do that. Apparently 191 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:06,280 Speaker 2: you can. I've done it with sports, statistics and music, 192 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:08,679 Speaker 2: tons of stuff that I know. I knew, you used 193 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:10,400 Speaker 2: to know that. I no longer know because I just 194 00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 2: decided that's useless information that has done me no good. 195 00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:16,720 Speaker 2: I'm not holding on that anymore. I don't know that 196 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:20,240 Speaker 2: I can will that to happen. I have's a this 197 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:23,760 Speaker 2: is a farm? Well you have maybe? Uh, it's a 198 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:24,880 Speaker 2: fascinating concept. 199 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,520 Speaker 5: I wish I could will back into my brain like 200 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:29,320 Speaker 5: my password from my bank account, so I don't have 201 00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 5: to look it up every single time. 202 00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:35,320 Speaker 2: Yes. So my controversial statement that people will be angry 203 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:39,320 Speaker 2: at is the Beach Boys hits that made them huge. 204 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 2: They're fine. They're heavily Chuck Berry inspired, very catchy, well sung. 205 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:48,520 Speaker 2: How did they are fine? I know they got sued 206 00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:50,720 Speaker 2: for one song for sounding too much like Chuck Berry 207 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 2: and put his name on it. But how about the 208 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,360 Speaker 2: one that starts with the Johnny be Good guitar riff? 209 00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:58,679 Speaker 2: I mean that's one hundred percent stolen. How did they 210 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 2: get away with that? Because you can't. 211 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:04,559 Speaker 5: Yeah, I copyright riffs the way you can lyrics or melodies. 212 00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,679 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's interesting. I don't know or was that 213 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:09,400 Speaker 2: the one that they had to get know it was 214 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 2: a different song, that's what. 215 00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 5: But I listened to it yesterday, I thought, because I 216 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:15,360 Speaker 5: have learned that note from note, that is one hundred 217 00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:17,440 Speaker 5: percent that Johnny be good opening anyway. 218 00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:21,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, But so it's the the three chord hits that 219 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 2: they had early. That's not why people refer to Brian Wilson. 220 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:26,120 Speaker 2: Wilson as a musical genius. I mean, he was a 221 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 2: fine songwriter and hit maker. It was, you know, the 222 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,959 Speaker 2: stuff he did later in his career that was, uh, 223 00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 2: that was really uh innovative. But because it's weird. 224 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:37,520 Speaker 5: For people who don't know, you said this yesterday, he 225 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:40,280 Speaker 5: was He was the Beach Boys to a great extent, right. 226 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, oh yeah. In fact, his brother Dennis Wilson said 227 00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:46,480 Speaker 2: as much. He said, no, Brian is the Beach Boys. Yeah. 228 00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,480 Speaker 2: He was their creative genius, their writer. They're a ranger. 229 00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 2: He produced and co produced everything they recorded. He just 230 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:58,760 Speaker 2: envisioned all the sounds and all the weirdness and innovation 231 00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:02,199 Speaker 2: and all that. Like had the Beatles, for instance, when 232 00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:05,920 Speaker 2: they heard pet sounds, saying oh my god, okay, they've 233 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:09,359 Speaker 2: opped the Annie, We've got to do something big, Yeah, 234 00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:11,080 Speaker 2: and they wrote Sergeant Peppers. 235 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:12,400 Speaker 5: I had a few things I want to read from 236 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 5: this New York Times piece that they did on at 237 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:18,840 Speaker 5: their big They probably had this uh obituary in the 238 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:20,360 Speaker 5: can for quite a while, right, but. 239 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:21,720 Speaker 2: Just some of this. 240 00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,560 Speaker 5: At the same time, the round faced, soft spoken mister Wilson, 241 00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:28,880 Speaker 5: who didn't surf, became one of pop's most gifted and 242 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:33,080 Speaker 5: idiosynocratic studio tours, crafting complex and innovative productions at awed 243 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:36,640 Speaker 5: hiss beers that ear Bob Dylan once remarked, I mean, Jesus, 244 00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:39,959 Speaker 5: he's got a will that to the Smithsonian. Mister Wilson 245 00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:44,240 Speaker 5: indulged his every eccentricity, no matter how expensive or fruitless, 246 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:48,160 Speaker 5: and his growing drug habit fueled paranoia and delusion. Recording 247 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:51,679 Speaker 5: a song called Fire, he outfitted studio musicians in toy 248 00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:55,720 Speaker 5: firefighters helmets and placed a smoldering bucket in their midst. 249 00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:58,720 Speaker 5: When he later learned that a nearby building had burned 250 00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 5: down at about the same time as the session, he 251 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:04,120 Speaker 5: scrapped that track, spooked by the thought that his studio 252 00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:06,160 Speaker 5: witchcraft was responsible for the fire. 253 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, he actually tried to destroy the master tapes for 254 00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:13,760 Speaker 2: that song because he thought they were somehow magically causing fires. 255 00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:16,800 Speaker 5: He spent much of his life trying to escape the 256 00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:20,320 Speaker 5: yokes of two men, his abusive father and a controlling 257 00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 5: psychotherapist named Eugene Landy.

A court order also blocked Landy from 271 00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:02,600 Speaker 5: contact with me Wilson, and he ran Brian's life for 272 00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:04,520 Speaker 5: like twenty years or something. 273 00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:09,120 Speaker 2: How horrifying is that, yeah, mister Wilson. 274 00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:13,000 Speaker 5: Brian Wilson spoke openly about his struggles with mental illness, 275 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:19,240 Speaker 5: including his experience with Schitzio effective disorder and condition characterized 276 00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:22,600 Speaker 5: by hallucinations and delusions.

Musing their terms. 340 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:58,119 Speaker 5: I don't say experiencing homelessness, I say drug experiencing homelessness. 341 00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:00,719 Speaker 5: Drug addicts who've made poor choices in their lives is 342 00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,560 Speaker 5: generally what it is, but in some of these stats 343 00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:05,919 Speaker 5: are interesting, and I wondered if you had a reason 344 00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:09,280 Speaker 5: better than theirs for why this is happening. First of all, 345 00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:12,000 Speaker 5: in the nineties, the average age of a homeless person 346 00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:19,280 Speaker 5: was thirty. Now it's fifty. Fairly recently, people aged fifty 347 00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:22,840 Speaker 5: and older were about ten percent of the homeless population. 348 00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:29,280 Speaker 5: It is now half. It went from ten percent to half. Wow, 349 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:32,280 Speaker 5: this according to them, and this might now be true. 350 00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:35,640 Speaker 5: The trend is being driven by factors such as rising inflation. Yeah, 351 00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:36,239 Speaker 5: that's what it is. 352 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:38,639 Speaker 2: Just hear what the price of eggs is. Screw it. 353 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:40,320 Speaker 2: I'm going to live under a bridge and do meth. 354 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:46,840 Speaker 2: Rising inflation. I'm shaking my head, mystified how anybody could 355 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:51,440 Speaker 2: say that with a straight face and think, oh, that'll land. Wait. Wait, 356 00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:54,240 Speaker 2: wait a minute, Wait a minute, wait a minute. 357 00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:59,359 Speaker 5: All right, most of us, rising inflation meant, okay, instead 358 00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:02,000 Speaker 5: of eating at the stake restaurant, I'll lead at Applebee's, 359 00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:03,760 Speaker 5: or stead of eating an Applebe's, I'll lead at home 360 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:04,480 Speaker 5: or whatever. 361 00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:11,840 Speaker 2: We didn't become methacts for the millionth time. You eliminate 362 00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:15,879 Speaker 2: to luxuries, you go cheaper. You get a room made, 363 00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:18,479 Speaker 2: you do one hundred and fifty things before you end 364 00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:23,359 Speaker 2: up in a tent, under and overpass, doing meth riding 365 00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:24,840 Speaker 2: a kid's bicycle in the dark. 366 00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:28,959 Speaker 5: Right, The trend is being driven by factors such as 367 00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:32,920 Speaker 5: rising inflation, a lack of affordable housing, and challenges faced 368 00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:34,680 Speaker 5: by older adults with disabilities. 369 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:39,639 Speaker 2: What a what weak tea? That is well? And where 370 00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:43,119 Speaker 2: was that report when Joe Biden was pouring gasoline on 371 00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:45,639 Speaker 2: the inflation fire NPR, You just didn't get around to it. 372 00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:51,000 Speaker 2: Good point. But assuming it is true that people fifteen 373 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:54,320 Speaker 2: over have gone from ten percent to over half, what's 374 00:20:54,359 --> 00:21:00,640 Speaker 2: your explanation? Part of it is? And progress did this. 375 00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:05,560 Speaker 2: They outlawed those residence hotels where people would pay a 376 00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:08,280 Speaker 2: monthly fee to live in a room, generally a shared 377 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:11,000 Speaker 2: bathroom down the hall. They'd have a hot plate or whatever. 378 00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:13,840 Speaker 2: It was decided by the Democratic Party that those were 379 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:17,000 Speaker 2: not acceptable living conditions for people and we should shut 380 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:20,840 Speaker 2: them down. But they didn't provide a useful alternative, I mean, 381 00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:24,360 Speaker 2: other than here's a ten apartments in LA that are 382 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:26,439 Speaker 2: going to cost one point eight million dollars each and 383 00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:30,760 Speaker 2: we'll never be done. That's a factor among your older 384 00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:34,120 Speaker 2: alcoholics and people with borderline mental conditions and that sort 385 00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:34,400 Speaker 2: of thing. 386 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,440 Speaker 5: I'm just spitballing here a term that I find discussing. 387 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:39,159 Speaker 5: I wish we'd come up with a better term for 388 00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:42,640 Speaker 5: randomly going through ideas off the top of my head 389 00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:44,240 Speaker 5: that I might not actually believe myself. 390 00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:53,600 Speaker 2: Mucus pitching now, Yeah, I'm just sputum hurling. I'm fecal 391 00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:58,119 Speaker 2: guessing here. But what, oh why are we using body 392 00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:04,479 Speaker 2: excrements as I don't know any chance that the younger 393 00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:08,320 Speaker 2: crowd does the craziest hardcore fentanyl stuff, the older crowd 394 00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:10,840 Speaker 2: stays away from it, and so many younger people have 395 00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:14,879 Speaker 2: just died any of that, And I don't think so. 396 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:18,879 Speaker 2: I think it's more likely that I mean, addiction to 397 00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:24,639 Speaker 2: hard drugs is skyrocketed, I mean skyrocketed compared to you know, 398 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:29,800 Speaker 2: we've talked about when Nixon started the DEA because there 399 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,560 Speaker 2: were what eight thousand overdose deaths around the country, or 400 00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:35,800 Speaker 2: I remember the number was shockingly small, and then you 401 00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:37,439 Speaker 2: know a few years ago we had one hundred and 402 00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:42,040 Speaker 2: fifteen thousand people the Great War on I'm sorry, and 403 00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:46,760 Speaker 2: you don't just do that those drugs for a number 404 00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:48,479 Speaker 2: of years then say, you know, that was a crazy 405 00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:50,840 Speaker 2: period of my life, but I'm moving on now. Your 406 00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,880 Speaker 2: brain is toast. So I think a lot of those 407 00:22:53,960 --> 00:23:00,480 Speaker 2: older homeless people are drug casualties. I would suspect, although 408 00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:01,960 Speaker 2: I don't know. I would like to know the answer. 409 00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:04,960 Speaker 5: So it could be possibly good news then that there 410 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:08,359 Speaker 5: aren't it's kind of like our aging population of you know, 411 00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:11,439 Speaker 5: we're not replacing older people with younger workers because when 412 00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:12,240 Speaker 5: i'm young people. 413 00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:13,320 Speaker 2: Is it just. 414 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,240 Speaker 5: There aren't as many young people getting into the super 415 00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:19,840 Speaker 5: hard drugs and ended up on the street, and the 416 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,400 Speaker 5: crowd that was already there is just aging. 417 00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:28,679 Speaker 2: Is that possibly? Yeah, that feels a little quick to me. Well, 418 00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:32,879 Speaker 2: it's got to be something. I don't think there is 419 00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:38,280 Speaker 2: no validity to the inflation and housing thing because housing 420 00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:43,800 Speaker 2: is extremely expensive, usually all over the country. But try 421 00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:46,760 Speaker 2: to be the ninety nine percent of people that have shelter, 422 00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:53,120 Speaker 2: figure out a way and and you know, and as usual, 423 00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:56,480 Speaker 2: I drove by lots of street people on the way 424 00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:59,119 Speaker 2: to work today. There's no getting around it. They're all 425 00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:02,320 Speaker 2: drug addicts. So don't be a drug addict would be 426 00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:07,360 Speaker 2: a good start. Oh yeah, absolutely, yeah, But as always 427 00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:12,600 Speaker 2: I'm in favor of separating the transient drug addicts from 428 00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:18,480 Speaker 2: the people NPR quite dishonestly implies is everybody. But there 429 00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:22,200 Speaker 2: is that group of unfortunate people who can't make their 430 00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:25,320 Speaker 2: way and can't pay for housing. Joe's all compassion there 431 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:30,480 Speaker 2: but for the grace of God. Blah blah blah. Yeah, 432 00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:30,800 Speaker 2: I would. 433 00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:33,520 Speaker 5: I remember when they did the big study in Seattle, 434 00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:34,640 Speaker 5: it was ninety percent of. 435 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:35,480 Speaker 2: More drug addicts. 436 00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:39,320 Speaker 5: We would have plenty of money for the people who 437 00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:42,359 Speaker 5: actually have mental illness or you know, fall through the 438 00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:44,960 Speaker 5: cracks or whatever other ways. Sure, we'd have plenty of 439 00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:49,280 Speaker 5: money for those people if you somehow fixed the drug problem, 440 00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:50,640 Speaker 5: which is to. 441 00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:54,639 Speaker 2: Me damn near proof. I mean, like we need proof 442 00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:59,359 Speaker 2: that the Gavins Newsom of the world, the homeless industrial complex, 443 00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:03,800 Speaker 2: they are about making the money. They are about enriching themselves. Now, 444 00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:06,720 Speaker 2: there are some people of good conscience and soft skull 445 00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:09,639 Speaker 2: who are involved in that, and they don't understand that 446 00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:12,359 Speaker 2: they are part of a scam. They think they're doing 447 00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:15,480 Speaker 2: the right thing. But the people on top who are 448 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:17,719 Speaker 2: distributing the money and making the money, they know one 449 00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:21,439 Speaker 2: hundred percent what they're doing. If they really cared they 450 00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:23,840 Speaker 2: would have years and years and years ago, because we 451 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:28,440 Speaker 2: have been shouting this for a couple of decades now. 452 00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:35,160 Speaker 2: If you don't specify the different groups of the so 453 00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:40,040 Speaker 2: called homeless, you are well you're perpetrating a scam. You 454 00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:45,240 Speaker 2: don't separate the drug addicts from the people the poor, unfortunate, 455 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:49,840 Speaker 2: medally ill, autistic, handicapped, whatever, who just can't make enough 456 00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:51,679 Speaker 2: money to get by. If you don't do that, you 457 00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:53,960 Speaker 2: are a liar, in a scumbag, or a moron. 458 00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:56,600 Speaker 5: It's mostly a drug problem, and so if you don't 459 00:25:56,640 --> 00:26:01,720 Speaker 5: start barrier, it's crazy. You know what's most effective, I 460 00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:07,399 Speaker 5: think effort to make people realize the whole drug thing. 461 00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:10,920 Speaker 5: I see this floating around social media. 462 00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:13,359 Speaker 2: I wish, I wish I passed a billboard of this 463 00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:15,680 Speaker 2: every single day that my kids would see or that. 464 00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:18,440 Speaker 2: Although they see enough homeless people, but if you grew 465 00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:20,760 Speaker 2: up in a in one of your blue cities or 466 00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:22,639 Speaker 2: blue states where you see a lot of homeless people, 467 00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:24,120 Speaker 2: I would love to know in the future how many 468 00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:26,439 Speaker 2: of those kids end up doing drugs, Because my kid's 469 00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:32,119 Speaker 2: view of what drugs do for you is that and 470 00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:35,760 Speaker 2: it doesn't look good. But an I think every parent 471 00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:38,800 Speaker 2: ought to drive by these camps full of transient drug 472 00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:43,040 Speaker 2: addicts with their kids and say, this is drug This 473 00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:45,840 Speaker 2: is what drugs get you, hard drugs. That's what I 474 00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:48,560 Speaker 2: said to my son Sam when we I purposely walked 475 00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:51,280 Speaker 2: through the Tenderloin in San Francisco, just a corner of 476 00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:52,760 Speaker 2: it to see it. 477 00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:55,800 Speaker 5: Like, none of these people started with this in mind. 478 00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:57,800 Speaker 5: They thought they were having a good time on a 479 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:04,280 Speaker 5: Saturday night watching a band or or something. But anytime 480 00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:07,879 Speaker 5: you see those timelines, our friend Jesse, who emails the 481 00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:09,359 Speaker 5: show a lot, has one on his. 482 00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:13,840 Speaker 2: Twitter feed or whatever.

I think. I think that's very very powerful. 491 00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:40,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, these hotties who turn into toothless, scabby hags at 492 00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:45,040 Speaker 2: thirty two.

Yeah, I 495 00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:53,919 Speaker 2: guess that's just so awful. 496 00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:56,919 Speaker 5: Let's not use that in case, and let's let's keep 497 00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:58,280 Speaker 5: that in your holster unless you're really. 498 00:27:58,200 --> 00:27:59,920 Speaker 2: Are trying to make a point.

I don't want it to catch on 501 00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:09,480 Speaker 2: as a no, no, indeed, that would be ungentlemanly among 502 00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:12,320 Speaker 2: other problems. Yeah, you know who's the scabby hagging accounting? 503 00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:12,480 Speaker 7: You know. 504 00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:15,200 Speaker 2: I don't want it to become one of those. Oh lord, No, 505 00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:18,200 Speaker 2: you're right. It's very harsh, and you don't see it coming. 506 00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:22,280 Speaker 2: We will finish strong next arm strong and. 507 00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:28,320 Speaker 1: Yetty, the President learned that any protests on Saturday would 508 00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:29,560 Speaker 1: be met with force. 509 00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:33,440 Speaker 6: Can you clarify what kind of protest President Trump does 510 00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:34,840 Speaker 6: support or find acceptable. 511 00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:39,240 Speaker 1: The President absolutely supports peaceful protests. He supports the First Amendment. 512 00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:42,520 Speaker 1: He supports the right of Americans to make their voices heard. 513 00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:45,280 Speaker 1: He does not support violence of any kind. He does 514 00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:48,600 Speaker 1: not support assaulting law enforcement officers who are simply trying. 515 00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:49,080 Speaker 4: To do their job. 516 00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:51,840 Speaker 1: It's very clear for the president what he supports and 517 00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:54,360 Speaker 1: what he does not. Unfortunately, for Democrats, that line has 518 00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:57,320 Speaker 1: not been made clear, and they've allowed this unrest and 519 00:28:57,360 --> 00:28:59,480 Speaker 1: this violence to continue, and the President has had to 520 00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:02,040 Speaker 1: step in question. So, if there were peaceful protests on 521 00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:05,160 Speaker 1: Saturday for the military parade, President Trump would allow that. 522 00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:07,520 Speaker 1: Of course, the President supports peaceful protest. 523 00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:11,480 Speaker 2: What a stupid question. Here is a stupid question. I 524 00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:13,800 Speaker 2: would have I would have like wanted to plant that 525 00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:18,840 Speaker 2: if I was a Trump guy, till here's this giant, 526 00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:22,320 Speaker 2: fat softball to hit out of the park. Yeah, what 527 00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:24,480 Speaker 2: did you think? Did you think you're going to catch 528 00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:25,160 Speaker 2: him in a trap? No? 529 00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:27,960 Speaker 5: Donald Trump does not believe in any protests of any kind. 530 00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:30,920 Speaker 2: Not for his big parade. No, we'll be cracking ads. 531 00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:36,520 Speaker 2: First Amendment will die tomorrow at noon. I he might 532 00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:39,720 Speaker 2: not like it, but yeah, what a stupid question, is right? 533 00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:43,160 Speaker 5: Trump just did an hour plus press conference. Remember the 534 00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:46,160 Speaker 5: old guy who did like one in four years. Anyway, 535 00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:47,440 Speaker 5: he said this. 536 00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:49,840 Speaker 2: But I will say this. 537 00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:52,440 Speaker 7: Look, I want them to go away saying how great 538 00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:55,800 Speaker 7: our country is and how great our military is. And 539 00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:57,880 Speaker 7: I was making all these calls for some reason. I 540 00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:00,920 Speaker 7: spoke to like four different places, Sir, are you celebrating? 541 00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:03,680 Speaker 7: And I said, you know, we won World War two 542 00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:04,680 Speaker 7: and World War One? 543 00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:06,760 Speaker 2: Right, we want them. 544 00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:09,640 Speaker 7: And yet we're the only country that doesn't celebrate. Everybody 545 00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:11,160 Speaker 7: celebrating except us. 546 00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:15,120 Speaker 2: And I said, we should celebrate too. What if there 547 00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:20,920 Speaker 2: are protests, Oh quash them violently during the big parade. Yeah. 548 00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:23,720 Speaker 2: I don't know that we need to celebrate winning World 549 00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:28,360 Speaker 2: War one. Honestly, fair amount of water under the bridge. 550 00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:31,920 Speaker 2: I just as I've said on the big military parade 551 00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:36,400 Speaker 2: on Saturday, I lean against, but not strongly. This is 552 00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:39,480 Speaker 2: not an issue I think is that big a deal. 553 00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:42,360 Speaker 5: I just would like a better understanding of why we 554 00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:44,760 Speaker 5: haven't done it in the past. There's some reason we 555 00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:46,040 Speaker 5: never did it before. 556 00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:49,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, Like I said earlier, I just think it was 557 00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:53,720 Speaker 2: kind of a We're not a militaristic power. We're a 558 00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:57,840 Speaker 2: friendly power that wants to do business with an incredibly 559 00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:01,080 Speaker 2: capable and powerful military. But we're not gonna We're not 560 00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:03,560 Speaker 2: gonna walk into every room and say I could whoop 561 00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:06,680 Speaker 2: your ass, by the way. I mean, whether it's a 562 00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:09,600 Speaker 2: dental appointment or a job interview, it's just no way 563 00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:14,760 Speaker 2: to behave. Are you here for a cleaning. I could 564 00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:18,400 Speaker 2: kick your ass if I wanted to. Yes, you know, 565 00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:20,479 Speaker 2: I've got a little pain here on the upper right, 566 00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:24,880 Speaker 2: a little cold sensitivity. Yeah. I think it's probably a 567 00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:28,560 Speaker 2: version of that, honestly, But again, I just and I 568 00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:31,200 Speaker 2: don't feel very strongly about it either way either. I 569 00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:34,280 Speaker 2: hate I like the idea better before I heard Trump 570 00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:39,840 Speaker 2: explain it, which is not uncommon. I think our military, 571 00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:44,680 Speaker 2: the men and women, the gear, the innovation, the cohesion, 572 00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:48,480 Speaker 2: the training, all of it is just awe inspiring. I 573 00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:51,800 Speaker 2: think it's amazing, and I love the idea of American 574 00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:54,479 Speaker 2: kids seeing that on display. So there's a real pro 575 00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:55,200 Speaker 2: to the idea. 576 00:31:55,360 --> 00:32:00,920 Speaker 5: So it's June fourteenth, Flag Day, Saturday, the same day 577 00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:06,360 Speaker 5: the no Kings, No Crowns protest is being organized nationwide, 578 00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:10,800 Speaker 5: eleven different spots. They're hoping to They're hoping to take 579 00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:14,400 Speaker 5: back the flag of patriotism from the evil Republicans with 580 00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:16,720 Speaker 5: the no Kings, No Crowns protest. I have no idea 581 00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:18,760 Speaker 5: if this is gonna be a big USA Today says 582 00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:23,520 Speaker 5: it's gonna be the biggest protest this year, okay, which 583 00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:27,280 Speaker 5: I super make it pretty big actually, And then what 584 00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:30,600 Speaker 5: I don't know if I'd go in and say I 585 00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:32,240 Speaker 5: could whoop your ass by the way to somebody who's 586 00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:34,360 Speaker 5: about have that sharp hook in your mouth in a 587 00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:35,320 Speaker 5: vulnerable position. 588 00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:38,520 Speaker 2: That's the point exactly. That's no way to. 589 00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:39,240 Speaker 8: Be aged. 590 00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:41,800 Speaker 2: Down. 591 00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:54,640 Speaker 8: Strong, Strong, You're ready. 592 00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:57,720 Speaker 2: That's the last thing Brian Wilson recorded for a staff. 593 00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:00,800 Speaker 5: It was during his crazy period that he wrote, here 594 00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:02,880 Speaker 5: is your host for final thoughts, Joe Getty. 595 00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:04,880 Speaker 2: Let's get a final thought from everybody on the crew 596 00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:06,960 Speaker 2: to wrap up the show.

Michael final thought, speaking of the Beach Boys. 598 00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:11,880 Speaker 2: That was a great childhood memory my parents. 599 00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:14,120 Speaker 9: They would drive us kids around in the car and 600 00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:16,600 Speaker 9: we'd be in the backseat and they'd be singing to 601 00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:19,040 Speaker 9: the Beach Boys and doing the harmonies. And that's cool 602 00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:21,840 Speaker 9: as little kids that we were kind of embarrassed about it, 603 00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:23,920 Speaker 9: you know, seeing mom and dad enjoy themselves. 604 00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:28,720 Speaker 2: Like that, right right is from Vacation Mock Yeah birth Yeah, 605 00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:35,280 Speaker 2: oh boy.
