You're listening to the John 2 00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:09,039 Speaker 1: and Ken Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. That 3 00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:12,719 Speaker 1: theme music is for a podcast called The Swing Nation, 4 00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:15,560 Speaker 1: which I will talk about in a minute. I'm trying 5 00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:18,080 Speaker 1: to get some new information about the latest on the storm. 6 00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:19,840 Speaker 1: Deborah brought you something, brought you some right now. The 7 00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:22,800 Speaker 1: National Weather Service is now saying the flood flash flood 8 00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:26,960 Speaker 1: warning continues for San Luis Obispo at Tascadero and a 9 00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:30,240 Speaker 1: Royal Grande until seven o'clock PM.

I hope I got so. 12 00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:38,920 Speaker 1: We were fortunate enough to be able to afford to 13 00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:41,559 Speaker 1: move into a gated community because I never want anyone 14 00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:47,880 Speaker 1: to ever knock on my door again. But the gate, 15 00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:50,880 Speaker 1: the guard gates flooded out. So I don't know, Debora, 16 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,479 Speaker 1: I may be you may stay in a hotel to know. 17 00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:55,640 Speaker 1: I'm looking at you and Woodland Hill, come on over. 18 00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:59,800 Speaker 1: I have room. So that is still And they're saying 19 00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:02,920 Speaker 1: now now that I think it says here, they're twenty 20 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:06,119 Speaker 1: five Yeah, some twenty five million people are under flood 21 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:09,440 Speaker 1: alerts issued by the National Weather Service twenty five million. 22 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:11,520 Speaker 1: That's that's most of the state. That it was forty 23 00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:16,280 Speaker 1: million people in this state. So that's that is pretty epic. Okay. 24 00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:21,720 Speaker 1: So I love to do crazy business stories, whether it's 25 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:25,839 Speaker 1: for CNBC or for my substack newsletter called Wells Street 26 00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:29,240 Speaker 1: Jane Wells dot Substack dot com. I love doing stories 27 00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:31,920 Speaker 1: on entrepreneurs or people who are trying to always figure 28 00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:33,560 Speaker 1: out the money angle and how they could make the 29 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:37,279 Speaker 1: living doing something, because behind every headline is the money. 30 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,800 Speaker 1: And many years ago, when I was in my twenties, 31 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:46,160 Speaker 1: I was a young reporter in Miami in the eighties 32 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:50,880 Speaker 1: when it was crazytown, and I did a story on 33 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 1: the swinger scene. This was just as HIV was starting 34 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 1: to kind of take off and you could do anything 35 00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 1: in Miami in the eighties. I mean, I had a 36 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 1: guy cook up a rock of cocaine and have his 37 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 1: mother smoke it. I posed as a prostitute. I did 38 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,679 Speaker 1: you know? This was just did you swing? I did 39 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 1: not swing, but I went to a swingers club. I'm 40 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 1: what you call in the swingers world of Vanilla. Vanilla. 41 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 1: Guess what a unicorn is? Anybody want to guess. Guess 42 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 1: guess Eric Dana a unicorn? A unicorn and swing and 43 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:27,799 Speaker 1: swing lingo? What's it? What's uh? Steve Gregory's now bothering? Yeah, 44 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 1: asked Steve. Just want what do you want me to ask? 45 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 1: Steve Gregory? What is a unicorn and swinger lingo? What 46 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 1: is a unicorn in swinger lingos? Steve Gregory, Okay, we 47 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 1: have some breaking news, so I'm gonna have to go 48 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 1: find out about that. Sorry, I'd rather talk about all right, bye, 49 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,040 Speaker 1: all right, I'll guess Okay, probably someone that is over 50 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 1: the top in terms of sw it's a single person 51 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:56,960 Speaker 1: swinging with couples. Oh okay, all right. So anyhow I 52 00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 1: ended up like I did that stur in the eighties. 53 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:00,160 Speaker 1: I thought, well, that's the last time I have to 54 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 1: do a swing your story again. And then all of 55 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 1: a sudden I became aware of this couple. They're Dan 56 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 1: and Lacy. They live in the Southeast, and they are 57 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:13,680 Speaker 1: trying to remove the stigma from the non monogamous lifestyle. 58 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 1: You know, I mean whatever again, as I said earlier, 59 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 1: whatever consenting adults want to do behind closed doors that 60 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 1: doesn't break any laws or create any serious injury. Have 61 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 1: at it as long as everybody is consensual at it. 62 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 1: And yet there's a lot of stigma attached to swing 63 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 1: swinging that is not attached to other lifestyles anymore. So 64 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 1: they have started, um they were started doing TikTok. They 65 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 1: kept getting taken down on TikTok. They don't they're not 66 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 1: there's no nudity, they don't cuss much, and it keep 67 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 1: it pretty maybe R rated, but it's mostly sort of PG. Thirteen, 68 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 1: And they're really trying to build this movement of acceptance. 69 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 1: So somebody's finally suggested them, why don't you start a podcast, 70 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 1: So then they maybe you could get sponsors. So they 71 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 1: went out and they spent money to get the equipment 72 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 1: and they actually now have sponsors and this podcast, and 73 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:11,120 Speaker 1: then they got into events where they now host the 74 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 1: Swinger Weekends and places like Casimi, Florida, and I think 75 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 1: there's one in Nashville and in the Caribbean where they 76 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,479 Speaker 1: take cruises where like minded people get together. And what 77 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,000 Speaker 1: Dan and Lacy will do is they'll rent out the 78 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 1: whole place and then they'll sell the rooms out of 79 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 1: profit and then they can invest that and so they're 80 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 1: actually growing this into an enterprise, which is what I'm 81 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 1: all about, is like following the money. So here's just 82 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 1: a little clip in in one of their podcasts, which 83 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 1: is it's safe. It's you know, we're not going to 84 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 1: get thrown off the airbaut you may your kids won't 85 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:52,040 Speaker 1: understand what they're saying. Where they're talking about how often 86 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,279 Speaker 1: they swing it, it's not that often. I think a 87 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 1: lot of people think that they need to swing to 88 00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:02,040 Speaker 1: fulfill something, but that is just like a one night thing. 89 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 1: The whole rest of the month is because we usually 90 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,239 Speaker 1: swing about once. In mind, the rest of the month 91 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:10,280 Speaker 1: is just him and I and I don't know how 92 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 1: to describe it. It just like it adds some like 93 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:17,720 Speaker 1: even just being spicy for one night, yeah, so much 94 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 1: for the rest of the month. Yeah. Yeah. So that's 95 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 1: what they try and do on the podcast is try 96 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 1: to educate people on the lifestyle, what the dues and 97 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:31,840 Speaker 1: don't are, everybody's different, and monetize it at the same 98 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:33,600 Speaker 1: time and try to make some money, which I'm all about. 99 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 1: In fact that some of their rules they do have 100 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 1: their own. You know, you have to communicate with your 101 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 1: partner in their case when they swing, they have to 102 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 1: be in the same room. They don't want to be 103 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:54,320 Speaker 1: a part when they're swing. Not everybody's like that. But 104 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 1: the important thing is that you're consensual and you have 105 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,480 Speaker 1: you have an understand standing not only with your partner 106 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,479 Speaker 1: but with the people you are swinging with. So it's 107 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 1: called the Swing Nation. It's a podcast. It's not my thing, 108 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 1: but I do appreciate their effort to try to say, look, 109 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:14,159 Speaker 1: we're not we're not bad people. You may you know, 110 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:17,919 Speaker 1: you may think it's adultery. Is it adultery? When is 111 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 1: it adultery? This is a good question when your partner 112 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,160 Speaker 1: is like, all for it. I don't think so. Yeah, 113 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 1: I don't think so either. I got a question. Yeah, 114 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 1: wouldn't you love to see the trad wife in this 115 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,919 Speaker 1: couple sit down and have a conversation. Well, she probably 116 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 1: swings because as long as Colin, her engineer husband, gives 117 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 1: her permission to swing that, you know, So that's part 118 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 1: of it's fascinating. I have never done that, By the way, 119 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,599 Speaker 1: do you know anyone who has? I do not. I 120 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:51,520 Speaker 1: do not, but I am always fascinated by those alternative lifestyles. 121 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,840 Speaker 1: I guess I'm very vanilla, yes, And I think that's 122 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 1: their point in what they're trying to do is that 123 00:06:57,920 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 1: we are more like you than you're like. She said, 124 00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 1: we only swing once a month, you know, she says, 125 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 1: everybody thinks, and you know some people probably swing more 126 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:07,040 Speaker 1: than that. I don't know. The whole thing is just 127 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 1: very enlightening for me. Um and and the whole idea 128 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 1: of unicorns that that both of them got into the 129 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 1: swinging lifestyle after divorce as single people, and then they 130 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,920 Speaker 1: met each other fella love in the swinging like community, 131 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 1: swinging community, and married. So, I mean, you can still 132 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 1: fall in love with a person and get married in 133 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 1: a non monogamous community. My mind is blown. I mean 134 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 1: a lot of people say, are we were we really 135 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:43,640 Speaker 1: designed to be monogamous? Um, I'm gonna tell you if 136 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 1: my husband ever says that to me, No, No, I'm not. 137 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 1: And I'm not saying that. I'm not saying that I 138 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 1: agree or disagree. I'm just saying a lot of people 139 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:54,480 Speaker 1: say that, right, I know, you have to have a commitment, Right, 140 00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:56,480 Speaker 1: you have a commitment. You have to be committed to 141 00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,360 Speaker 1: being monotonous. I think I'm gonna let monotonous or monogaous, Well, 142 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:04,880 Speaker 1: I'm gonna let you know, yeah, monogamous. I will only 143 00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 1: say that since it takes years and years to raise 144 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 1: a human child. I think we were because if it was, 145 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:13,880 Speaker 1: you know, like turtle eggs, No, you could move on 146 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 1: and they go on fun find for themselves. But you 147 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:19,679 Speaker 1: need you need usually two people to raise a baby 148 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:21,480 Speaker 1: for a while. That's true. And I guess what I 149 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 1: was trying to say is maybe some people's marriage is 150 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 1: monotonous and they want to then that's why they want 151 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:31,200 Speaker 1: to add some spice, right right, Yes, another couple's not 152 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 1: my idea of spice, not mine either nor but it 153 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 1: is fascinating or is it dressing up as a traditional 154 00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 1: wife and you know, and asking my husband if I 155 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 1: can go out?

I will go with the trad wife. 171 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:44,959 Speaker 1: I'll do that instead, um Deborah Mark, Oh god, is 172 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:49,040 Speaker 1: there a third choice? No? No, no, no, I would 173 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:52,800 Speaker 1: pretend to be a trad wife rather than pretend to 174 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 1: be a swinger. Like you could go and like, I 175 00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:58,080 Speaker 1: think it's easier to pretend to trad No, you go 176 00:09:58,120 --> 00:09:59,560 Speaker 1: to the swingers club, you say, you know, I gotta 177 00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,400 Speaker 1: go to bath men come out three hours later. Eric's 178 00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 1: Clark a trad husband or swinger? WHOA? I don't know. 179 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:10,000 Speaker 1: I don't even know if I like the whole trad 180 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:13,240 Speaker 1: husband lifestyle. That that seems a little bit annoying at 181 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,840 Speaker 1: have your wife calling every five seconds to ask to 182 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:19,679 Speaker 1: do something. Oh right, like she got just got very nagging. Yeah, 183 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 1: leave me alone, just go just go. Oh honestly, probably 184 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:28,320 Speaker 1: swinger Okay, so we've got we've got a trad a 185 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:33,160 Speaker 1: pretend trad a swinger. Dana. Yeah, trad wife doesn't sound 186 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:40,600 Speaker 1: that bad, I you know, um now, yeah, I just 187 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:49,240 Speaker 1: I would what would I do? I am well, I 188 00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:54,640 Speaker 1: might try each m hmm, but I'd be like the 189 00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 1: vanilla at the swinger scene and pretend I don't know. Man, 190 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,640 Speaker 1: I'm all messed up, right. That is such a that's 191 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:05,880 Speaker 1: a sophie's choice, as we say, Oh god, I know 192 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:09,640 Speaker 1: that's a terrible thing to say. Do you think Elon 193 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:14,920 Speaker 1: Musk would be do you think he has he would 194 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:16,840 Speaker 1: like a trad wife or be a swinger. I think 195 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 1: he'd be a swinger. I mean, if he's naming his 196 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:23,439 Speaker 1: kid in an equation, well, and he keeps having kids 197 00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:26,000 Speaker 1: with everybody, you know, his whole thing is to have 198 00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:29,480 Speaker 1: as many kids as possible, because we um, we just 199 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:31,720 Speaker 1: need to have more kids, that the earth needs more 200 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:34,640 Speaker 1: people and the and these people who are cutting back 201 00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:38,720 Speaker 1: on how many kids they're having are going to destroy civilization. Now, 202 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:42,160 Speaker 1: speaking of Elon, because he is at the moment the 203 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:45,040 Speaker 1: world's richest man, it's gone kind of back and forth, 204 00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 1: Tesla Stock. I think over the last year is down 205 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,920 Speaker 1: forty percent, but a year to date, I think it's 206 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:52,640 Speaker 1: up fifty four percent, so it's had a bit of 207 00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:56,480 Speaker 1: a comeback. He's now, of course, being he's investigating. He's 208 00:11:56,480 --> 00:12:00,280 Speaker 1: always suiting all this, but to try to get around 209 00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:04,599 Speaker 1: some of this being hassled all the time. There's a 210 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:06,599 Speaker 1: story in the Wall Street Journal that he may be 211 00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:12,160 Speaker 1: trying to plan his own town outside Austin. He moved 212 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:16,880 Speaker 1: to Texas a few years ago for a variety of reasons, 213 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,560 Speaker 1: not the least of which is that there's no state 214 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,679 Speaker 1: income taxes. And when you're living in California and you're 215 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:25,080 Speaker 1: worth two hundred billion dollars and you decide to cash 216 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:28,880 Speaker 1: in some of your shares, well, that's the California budget 217 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,079 Speaker 1: depends on people like you. And he decided to skid 218 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,480 Speaker 1: attle though he's been spending a lot of time here 219 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,600 Speaker 1: lately and put a pin in that for a minute. Anyhow, 220 00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:40,400 Speaker 1: according to the Journal, he has at his companies have 221 00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,160 Speaker 1: been acquiring thousands of acres of land with the hope 222 00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,800 Speaker 1: of starting a town where his employees could live and work. 223 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,600 Speaker 1: He's got the boring company out there. He's got some 224 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:51,120 Speaker 1: SpaceX out there. He's got some tesla out there. He 225 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:54,200 Speaker 1: doesn't have any Twitter out there right now. The entities 226 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:57,560 Speaker 1: have reportedly purchased at least thirty five hundred acres and 227 00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:01,079 Speaker 1: are in the process of working toward incorporating the town 228 00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:07,440 Speaker 1: and calling it Snailbrook, which is an apparent reference to 229 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:12,240 Speaker 1: the mascot for his tunneling firm, the Boring Company. It 230 00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:15,679 Speaker 1: might give him the ability to have more say and 231 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,400 Speaker 1: then how things are run, even a state like Texas. 232 00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:20,680 Speaker 1: It reminds me a little bit of the Walt Disney Company. 233 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,559 Speaker 1: And now the troubles had in Florida with Governor de Santis, 234 00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 1: where Disney kind of was sheriff of its own property there, 235 00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:33,080 Speaker 1: and that is now no longer the case. So musk Is, 236 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:36,000 Speaker 1: according to their journal, wants to They've you know, they've 237 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 1: bought eleven parcels of land near the Colorado River. They've 238 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:44,040 Speaker 1: got plans for a wastewater treatment plant. So Musktown or 239 00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:49,840 Speaker 1: Snailbrook maybe on the horizon. However, here's one thing elon 240 00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 1: Us may not as smart as he is, may not 241 00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:58,440 Speaker 1: have taken into consideration. He's been spending a lot of 242 00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 1: time at Twitter headquarters in San Francisco trying to salvage 243 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:04,560 Speaker 1: that company and not doing a very good job. I 244 00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:07,440 Speaker 1: might add Twitter, he's laid off a lot of people. 245 00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:12,040 Speaker 1: The platform is glitchy. They're all the other social issues 246 00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:14,800 Speaker 1: that people have advertisers on on it. He's mocking his 247 00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:18,640 Speaker 1: own employees on tweets, which isn't a good look. Excuse me. 248 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 1: So he's there in San Francisco a lot. Any money 249 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:32,200 Speaker 1: he earns while he has his took us in California 250 00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:37,120 Speaker 1: during that period is subject to California income tax It's 251 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,960 Speaker 1: like sports. All the athletes have to say exactly, taxes 252 00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 1: in all the cities that they play, and not just Twitter. 253 00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:47,320 Speaker 1: You can imagine that while he's at Twitter headquarters, he's 254 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:53,280 Speaker 1: having calls with Tesla, He's having calls with SpaceX. So 255 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,800 Speaker 1: any income he earns during that time for those companies 256 00:14:56,840 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 1: could also be subject to California income taxes. What's more, 257 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:02,040 Speaker 1: I mean, the big thing is if he were to 258 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:07,480 Speaker 1: cash and he's stock while he's in California, oh my goodness, 259 00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:10,560 Speaker 1: that would be subject to thirteen point three percent capital 260 00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:13,920 Speaker 1: gains taxes, which would be a ton of money. And 261 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:19,360 Speaker 1: there is nobody more relentless than the Franchise Tax Board 262 00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:22,680 Speaker 1: of California. I know from personal experience, because let me 263 00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,280 Speaker 1: tell you this. I told you that a million years ago. 264 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:29,800 Speaker 1: I worked in Miami and I moved I worked in Florida. 265 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:31,760 Speaker 1: The year I moved back to LA to go work 266 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:35,560 Speaker 1: at Channel eleven. I worked in Florida for seven months, 267 00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:37,880 Speaker 1: where I paid no state income taxes. I worked in 268 00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:43,720 Speaker 1: California for five months, and California taxed me for this 269 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:47,400 Speaker 1: seven months. I worked and lived in California, and I 270 00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:52,760 Speaker 1: said this cannot be legal, this has to be unconstitutional. 271 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:57,320 Speaker 1: And I lost. So Elon Musk may think he's getting 272 00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:01,440 Speaker 1: away with something quote unquote living in Texas's We'll see 273 00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:05,160 Speaker 1: what the I forget the irs there, they're pikers compared 274 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:08,080 Speaker 1: to the franchise tax board. We'll see what and for 275 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:11,440 Speaker 1: us here in California. As much as we think that's outrageous, 276 00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:14,280 Speaker 1: that's good news because now we're facing a deficit because 277 00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:16,280 Speaker 1: the governor gave all the money all the way for 278 00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:18,880 Speaker 1: people like did you guys get that middle class income 279 00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:22,080 Speaker 1: tax refund debit card? Did anybody get? I guess I 280 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:24,640 Speaker 1: qualify as middle class. I got a debit card worth 281 00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:29,280 Speaker 1: four hundred dollars from the state of California. You did, 282 00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:33,200 Speaker 1: you did, Deborah? I know I didn't get it. I 283 00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:34,760 Speaker 1: almost threw it away because I thought it was one 284 00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:38,440 Speaker 1: of those spam credit card applications. Maybe maybe I threw 285 00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:41,840 Speaker 1: oh honey, oh no, but it was my money in 286 00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:44,600 Speaker 1: the first play. That's true. But still but we're in 287 00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:46,520 Speaker 1: a deficit and they were still sending these things out. 288 00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:49,000 Speaker 1: This was the gas tax thing, right, No, this was 289 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:52,720 Speaker 1: some of was it the gas tax? Yeah? I got 290 00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:55,080 Speaker 1: a direct deposited. Yes, a lot of people. How much 291 00:16:55,080 --> 00:17:02,160 Speaker 1: did you get, Debora? I'm mad.

As Tim Conway's coming up at the 312 00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:05,560 Speaker 1: top of the hour, there's an interesting story in the 313 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:10,960 Speaker 1: Los Angeles Times about people moving not just out of 314 00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:15,840 Speaker 1: California but around California. So it's like these California cities 315 00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:20,800 Speaker 1: are booming even as La and San Francisco lose population. Well, 316 00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:22,679 Speaker 1: I'm a good case in point. I just moved up 317 00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:25,960 Speaker 1: to the Central Coast. I left southern California, and I 318 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:29,680 Speaker 1: have to tell you everything's cheaper up there. Everything's cheaper 319 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:33,880 Speaker 1: up there. Everything is cheaper up there on the Central Coast. Yeah, 320 00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:38,399 Speaker 1: except for gas. Because of the housing. Oh, it's the 321 00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:41,199 Speaker 1: only place, Honest to goodness. We have lived in the 322 00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 1: same house in Thousand Oaks for thirty years, so we did. 323 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:46,040 Speaker 1: We never levered up. We should have. We should have 324 00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:48,920 Speaker 1: moved at least once and kind of moved up so 325 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,320 Speaker 1: that with the equity we had and all of that, 326 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:56,320 Speaker 1: this is really the only place along the coast that 327 00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:59,520 Speaker 1: we could afford to move to, to step up and 328 00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:02,400 Speaker 1: move to. But not only that, I mean the guy 329 00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:05,080 Speaker 1: we had, a guy who painted the house when we 330 00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:09,760 Speaker 1: moved in half what it would cost down here. It's 331 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:13,440 Speaker 1: it's astonishing to me, although we are learning a few Um, 332 00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:16,439 Speaker 1: you know, San Luis obispo able bech is right next door. 333 00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:20,320 Speaker 1: Santluisbisopo has cal Poly and if you're downtown and cal Poly. 334 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:22,040 Speaker 1: Besides all the homeless, it is a bit of a 335 00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:27,000 Speaker 1: younger group. Everybody around us is. My husband said, wow, 336 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:28,920 Speaker 1: there's so many old people. I said, have you looked 337 00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:35,119 Speaker 1: in the mirror lately, Oh, it's pretty Um, it's pretty old. 338 00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:38,119 Speaker 1: I'm surprised. And another thing there are in the city 339 00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:44,680 Speaker 1: of San Louis no drive throughs, No drive through Starbucks, 340 00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:49,520 Speaker 1: no drive through Taco Bell. They they ban drive throughs, 341 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:53,280 Speaker 1: which to me is an odd law. But how do 342 00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:55,080 Speaker 1: you how often do you really go through a drive 343 00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:58,040 Speaker 1: go through a drive through. I mean I never do 344 00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:00,119 Speaker 1: oh anymore. I used to do when my kids we're 345 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:02,520 Speaker 1: a little like go to McDonald's or whatever every day 346 00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:06,720 Speaker 1: Starbucks Starbucks, which my husband is saying, those days are 347 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:10,160 Speaker 1: over because you know, um, I'm not working full time 348 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:13,960 Speaker 1: and I'm a Taco Bell fanatic. So I I know this. 349 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,960 Speaker 1: This horrifies you, Devermark, But I I used to like 350 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,360 Speaker 1: Taco Bell many many when I was a kid. I 351 00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:21,920 Speaker 1: did like Taco Bell. My first job as a Taco bell, 352 00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:24,600 Speaker 1: I could eat. I could eat Taco Bell every day. 353 00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:28,159 Speaker 1: Eric Glar, you look like a Taco Bell guy. Del Taco, 354 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:31,040 Speaker 1: Del Taco.

Now 356 00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:35,680 Speaker 1: what I grew up in Los Angeles. I'm not even 357 00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:39,520 Speaker 1: Taco Bell somewhere real, I know, what do you like 358 00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:42,639 Speaker 1: King Taco. You know there's actually a place around the 359 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:44,840 Speaker 1: corner from my house in the valley. It's called Melodies. 360 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,959 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I've been there. Yeah, it's a family. They 361 00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:52,760 Speaker 1: are solely Luna Melodies. Okay, I know Taco Bell. But 362 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,679 Speaker 1: it's like, sometimes you need to McDonald's McDonald you sometimes 363 00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:58,000 Speaker 1: you need a big Mac. I agree. You know, sometimes 364 00:20:58,040 --> 00:20:59,480 Speaker 1: I need French fries, though, I won't even go to 365 00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:02,280 Speaker 1: Taco Bell when I'm oh, you are, oh come on, 366 00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:06,560 Speaker 1: and you're their demo, you're their target. There are many 367 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:12,040 Speaker 1: people Mexican American and other South and Central American heritage 368 00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:16,200 Speaker 1: who go to Chaco Bell. That's fine. I ain't going, Yeah, Dana, Dana, 369 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,439 Speaker 1: back me up here. Yeah, that's true. When I go 370 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:22,920 Speaker 1: to talk about I do not think of Taco about 371 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:26,720 Speaker 1: as Mexican food. No, it's fast food. No, I'm not 372 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:28,880 Speaker 1: going to Taco Bell for Mexican food. Now. You're you're 373 00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,199 Speaker 1: going just because you're hungry and you enjoy it and 374 00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:33,240 Speaker 1: you want something quick. I totally get, and I like 375 00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:37,719 Speaker 1: the fire sauce. They haven't beyond meat at Del Taco now, 376 00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:40,159 Speaker 1: so I guess, so I don't do the fake No, 377 00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:43,600 Speaker 1: I'll tell you the truth about the fake meat. Yeah, 378 00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:49,600 Speaker 1: it's probably um worse for you other than the cholesterol. Yeah, 379 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:53,520 Speaker 1: there is so much now beyond meat at sodium and 380 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:57,600 Speaker 1: other stuff um to make it taste like meat. That 381 00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:00,600 Speaker 1: other than the fact that there is no costil and 382 00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:04,240 Speaker 1: no animals die. So those are your two things, Okay, 383 00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:07,280 Speaker 1: I'd rather have a mushroom burger or an officer. I 384 00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:09,679 Speaker 1: don't want the stakes. I don't I don't want anything 385 00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:13,400 Speaker 1: that resembles meat. Well, now, if you have you ever 386 00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:16,119 Speaker 1: had one? No, I don't want one. I have, I 387 00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:23,440 Speaker 1: have had other things. Lentil burgers have impossible and beyond meat. 388 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:25,960 Speaker 1: One is based I think on lentils, and the other 389 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:31,600 Speaker 1: is based on um rice or peace peat protein um. 390 00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:35,840 Speaker 1: They they're supposed to replicate. So the whole point is 391 00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:41,639 Speaker 1: if you will like beef and you want I can 392 00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:47,120 Speaker 1: smell it. I can smell uh, it'll replicate that. That's 393 00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:49,880 Speaker 1: the thing is, if you had a beyond meat burger, 394 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:53,160 Speaker 1: you might backslide. I don't think so. I don't miss 395 00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:56,600 Speaker 1: meat at all. Not. I actually was talking to our 396 00:22:56,680 --> 00:23:00,480 Speaker 1: boss yesterday and I'm so happy with the way I eat. 397 00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:03,879 Speaker 1: I don't miss it, not one iota. When you smell bacon, 398 00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:08,480 Speaker 1: I go, oh God, those poor pigs. That's that's what 399 00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:12,520 Speaker 1: I that's what I think. Try to send Maria style barbeque. No. 400 00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:15,080 Speaker 1: John will come in with a sandwich or a hamburger 401 00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:17,679 Speaker 1: every day and will just be like, what is he doing?

I'd like to point out that's 404 00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:24,520 Speaker 1: what they tell you. No, I believe it. Yeah, I 405 00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:26,720 Speaker 1: don't know where we were going with this. Assess the 406 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:28,600 Speaker 1: story of not filling in.

No. And I also feel like when 449 00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,920 Speaker 1: when Google Map says it's going to take me sixty 450 00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:08,720 Speaker 1: minutes to go sixty miles, but I've been consistently driving 451 00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:12,800 Speaker 1: eighty five? Why does it not? Why does the algorithm 452 00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:15,919 Speaker 1: did not reflect that? And so finally at the end 453 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:17,440 Speaker 1: it's like, oh, wow, you got here, you know, fifteen 454 00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:21,199 Speaker 1: minutes earlier. That's so shocking, what a surprise. I know. Um, 455 00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:24,480 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say so that you're at four four hours, 456 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:26,639 Speaker 1: so four or four to that's over four hours. I 457 00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:29,840 Speaker 1: am going to be optimistic, and I'm going to say 458 00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:33,400 Speaker 1: seven thirty. Oh all right, Oh that's if I take 459 00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:35,159 Speaker 1: the San Marcus Pass. I may not take the San 460 00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:40,040 Speaker 1: Marcus Pass because it's raining. I don't know. Have you yeah? 461 00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:45,160 Speaker 1: Have you guys? Um? Meta smells blood in the water 462 00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:48,920 Speaker 1: when it comes to Twitter, and so Meta may now 463 00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:53,879 Speaker 1: start a Twitter a competitor it's called Project P ninety two. 464 00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:57,440 Speaker 1: This is according to CNN, Massa don is supposed to 465 00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:00,840 Speaker 1: be the decentralized social network that people have flooded to 466 00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:03,879 Speaker 1: flock too as they left Twitter because they're angry with 467 00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:07,399 Speaker 1: what Elon Musk is doing. But you know, Mastodon's not 468 00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:09,640 Speaker 1: doing that great truth. Social of course is not doing 469 00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:13,399 Speaker 1: well at all. But Mena has a lot of money, 470 00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:16,080 Speaker 1: and you know, there are two billion people on Facebook. 471 00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:20,560 Speaker 1: And while this is separate from Facebook, whatever this project 472 00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:23,480 Speaker 1: they may do, that it's not part of Facebook or Instagram. 473 00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:28,920 Speaker 1: It would be a standalone competitor to Twitter. You would 474 00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:31,400 Speaker 1: still they would promote the hell out of it on 475 00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:36,080 Speaker 1: Facebook so that maybe people would go to it instead 476 00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:43,160 Speaker 1: of Twitter. I have to say, I after Elon Musk 477 00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:47,520 Speaker 1: took over Twitter and revealed just the left wing bias 478 00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:51,040 Speaker 1: or the provide and bias inside, which still is shocking 479 00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:55,160 Speaker 1: to read, but all the other things that happened, I mean, 480 00:27:55,160 --> 00:28:00,080 Speaker 1: Twitter to me is now boring. I still am on 481 00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:03,159 Speaker 1: it for breaking news, but it's also been kind of 482 00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:05,960 Speaker 1: a turning point for me where I find social media 483 00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:10,000 Speaker 1: is now boring. I don't know if I'm over it. 484 00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,120 Speaker 1: It's no longer useful. It has to be the next 485 00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:14,960 Speaker 1: new thing. But I'm not on it as much as 486 00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:17,360 Speaker 1: I used to be, and it's not for political reasons. 487 00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:22,000 Speaker 1: It's just I've lost interest. I think the thing is 488 00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:26,639 Speaker 1: I get alerts now on my phone anytime news breaks, 489 00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:28,800 Speaker 1: so I don't need to go to Twitter to see 490 00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:31,440 Speaker 1: if news is breaking. Because the Wall Street Journal, the 491 00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:33,840 Speaker 1: LA Times, the New York Times, a Hollywood reporter, they 492 00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:36,040 Speaker 1: will alert me when news is breaking, ky if I 493 00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:39,320 Speaker 1: But Twitter, I feel like is faster than those push notifications. 494 00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:43,360 Speaker 1: Sometimes you have to be on Twitter to see it. True. True, 495 00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:45,600 Speaker 1: that's fair. And so what I'll do is I'll get 496 00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:48,600 Speaker 1: something like Paul Flores. I got an alert from the 497 00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:51,120 Speaker 1: La Times Paul Flores has been convicted or is it 498 00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:53,480 Speaker 1: going to be sentenced to life? Well, I wouldn't have 499 00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:56,480 Speaker 1: known that unless I was on Twitter, and then I 500 00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:58,760 Speaker 1: can go to Twitter and see what I need to 501 00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:00,960 Speaker 1: know more about it? Are you more or less, Eric, 502 00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:03,840 Speaker 1: I'm probably on it just about the same. It's also 503 00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:05,960 Speaker 1: different for me because I also use it heavily for 504 00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:11,280 Speaker 1: sports and sports twitters its whole other world. Well, news 505 00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:14,000 Speaker 1: does break there and sports breaks there as well. Yes, 506 00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:17,880 Speaker 1: but I don't know. Do you find it less interesting? 507 00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:20,959 Speaker 1: I find social medium? No? I mean, okay, I've been 508 00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:23,800 Speaker 1: on Twitter since April two thousand and nine. Yeah, no, 509 00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:25,680 Speaker 1: I've been on it. I was a freshman in high school. 510 00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:28,080 Speaker 1: I'm an og. No, No, I'm I'm an og. Don't 511 00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:29,560 Speaker 1: you talk to me about No? I know, I know. 512 00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:31,480 Speaker 1: But my thing is, I'm not going to pay for 513 00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:34,959 Speaker 1: Twitter Blue. No, I'm not. No, I don't need I 514 00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:36,800 Speaker 1: have a blue checkmark. If they want to take it away, 515 00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:39,600 Speaker 1: knock yourself out. Yeah, I don't care. I'm not going 516 00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:42,160 Speaker 1: to pay for an app that's been free this entire time. 517 00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:47,480 Speaker 1: I haven't really noticed a difference in the user experience, obviously, 518 00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:51,240 Speaker 1: with the glitches here and there every couple of days, weeks, whatever, 519 00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:56,320 Speaker 1: where loading. It's poorer ads too, because the advertises yes, 520 00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:59,360 Speaker 1: But I realistically haven't really seen a difference in my 521 00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:03,000 Speaker 1: user experience on Twitter. Tim Conway, are you using Twitter? 522 00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:06,560 Speaker 1: I used Twitter about as much as I was suspended 523 00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:08,760 Speaker 1: for two and a half years. I put a joke 524 00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:11,920 Speaker 1: up there that they didn't like, and and I showed 525 00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:14,520 Speaker 1: them and they said take it down or you're gonna 526 00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:16,640 Speaker 1: be suspended forever. And I showed them. You know I did. 527 00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:20,920 Speaker 1: I took it down. You are a man of princess. 528 00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:23,080 Speaker 1: Thank you very much. Hey, I heard you moved by 529 00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:25,680 Speaker 1: the way. Is that true to Avla Beach?

Your dream was always get 533 00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:35,800 Speaker 1: closer to a nuke plant. Yeah, it was because I'll 534 00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:39,920 Speaker 1: live longer, that's right. Um. I wanted to ask you. 535 00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:41,520 Speaker 1: I think the last time I saw you is when 536 00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:43,360 Speaker 1: I interviewed you in the fall, because you were spray 537 00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:45,880 Speaker 1: painting your law. That's right. You don't need it. What's 538 00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:47,720 Speaker 1: the lawn like now? You don't need to? Well, you 539 00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:51,520 Speaker 1: know that I painted my lawn green because I wanted 540 00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:54,080 Speaker 1: to save water, and now it all died, you know, 541 00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:57,840 Speaker 1: because you can't paint plants. So all this rain is 542 00:30:57,880 --> 00:30:59,600 Speaker 1: doing you no good. No good. I gotta I gotta 543 00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:02,600 Speaker 1: take all that dead grass stop, so you gotta keep 544 00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:05,720 Speaker 1: painting it.

It's horrible, 547 00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:13,240 Speaker 1: it's gonna cost me thousands, or why don't you skip 548 00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:16,200 Speaker 1: the grass? No, because I like grass. I'm a big 549 00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:19,120 Speaker 1: grass fan. You like it under your feed, Yeah, that's 550 00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:21,440 Speaker 1: what it looks. Yeah, you know, like in the Midwest, 551 00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:24,720 Speaker 1: you spend time in the Midwest kind of driving through. Um, 552 00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:28,400 Speaker 1: you know, I love when one lawn goes to another fence, 553 00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:30,840 Speaker 1: no fencing get rained there, Yeah, and you can and 554 00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:33,400 Speaker 1: kids play in like the yard and they go down 555 00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:35,960 Speaker 1: they play football in three or four different yards. Nobody cares. 556 00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:38,080 Speaker 1: I thought that was the weirdest thing when I saw that. 557 00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:40,280 Speaker 1: It's like, well, what about the dog, what about your privacy? 558 00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:42,200 Speaker 1: What about laying out by the pool?
