10
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:40,839
Speaker 1: what this is, or where it's going. So what happened

11
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:42,479
Speaker 1: in La Steph?

12
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 2: Well, it was my first time there ever. I've never

13
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 2: been more west of Pittsburgh, so I was like, this

14
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:50,559
Speaker 2: is a great place to go. My friend hasn't been either,

15
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 2: so the two of us really wanted to dive in

16
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 2: and do all of the torrisy things. Go to the Observatory,

17
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 2: see the Hollywood Sign, Hollywood Walk of Fame. We even

18
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 2: ate at hard Rock Cafe and we were finishing up

19
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:04,680
Speaker 2: eating and then we took a long walk. We ended

20
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 2: up on Vine Street, I think it was, and all

21
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 2: of a sudden, I see Elvis Durant on the ground.

22
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 2: I was like, what is he doing here?

23
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 1: I've been on the ground in La many times. I

24
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 1: don't recall being there while you were there. Can you

25
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: please explain?

26
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 2: So I see you in the pink star there. I'm like,

27
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:23,680
Speaker 2: oh my gosh, Elvis has a star here. We have

28
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,400
Speaker 2: to take a picture. And wait a minute. In my purse,

29
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 2: I had my wet wipes and I put one on

30
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:30,959
Speaker 2: the ground. I started cleaning off your star.

31
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,959
Speaker 1: Question was there any gum on that star? Because last

32
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 1: time I was there, we had to actually go inside

33
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:39,960
Speaker 1: and scrape the gum off because.

34
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:43,039
Speaker 2: Someone put gum on it. No, no gum. And there

35
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 2: was a nice I don't think he was a Valey,

36
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 2: but like a very nice man who was by the

37
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 2: hotel or the restaurant next door, and he was like,

00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 1: keep in mind, the whole world is walking down the street.

45
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 1: It's like Steph is like going to times Square and

46
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 1: licking the sidewalk. You gotta be really careful about that.

47
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, my rod was nervous when I picked up the wipe.

48
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 2: She was like, you're gonna touch I'm like, what where

00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know who.

55
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 3: Was the last time you visited your star?

56
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 1: Elvis. I haven't seen my Star in quite some time.

57
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: It's been years. I mean, how long has it been

58
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,040

Speaker 1: of Hollywood and movies And what did you see that

73
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,639

74
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 1: all about.

75
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:22,519

Speaker 2: Fun is an interesting word.

98
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a brand. It says here on their website.

99
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 1: It's it's from Mariott. It's a brand for the people

Speaker 1: modern design meets essential comforts experience a unique and efficient

101
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 1: hotels day. Oh I never heard of them? Try, did

102
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 1: you get the bug?

103
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:27,119
Speaker 3: Do you want to go back?

104
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 2: I do want to go back, but I think I'm

105
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:30,840
Speaker 2: okay for right now. Like, I wouldn't want to move there.

106
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 2: It's a great little vacation spot though.

107
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 1: Yeah someone who lived there?

108
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 3: Oh really right, yeah, eleven years I would. It's a

109
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:41,599
Speaker 3: great place to visit. I could never live there again,

110
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,159
Speaker 3: I really couldn't. It's just a different brand of people.

111
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 3: Did you notice that while you were out their staff

112
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 3: that people.

113
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 1: Will, yeah, be different.

114
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure. They're just not as like fast paced

115
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 2: and they're just like kind of I don't know. Everybody

116
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 2: wants to be something like everybody is either a writer

117
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 2: or a director or wants to be or not. You know,

118
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 2: even the way to or asked me what I did,

119
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 2: and I was like, that's really what you're gonna ask

120
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:03,599
Speaker 2: me right now about.

121
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 1: You know, I used to not like LA at all,

122
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 1: but as I grew older, I really discovered I do

123
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: like LA a lot. And uh yeah, it depends on

124
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,279
Speaker 1: where you are in your life as well. But when

125
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 1: Ghani asked you if you got the bug when you're

126
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 1: out there, I was thinking, like from the bed sheets

127
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 1: at the porn hotel, then.

128
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 3: Hopeaking of hotels when I don't know if you ever

129
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,720
Speaker 3: stayed there, all of us. But our building in Los

130
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 3: Angeles was in Burbank and there was an hotel right

131
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 3: down the street called the Tangerine. It was like no

132
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 3: affiliation whatsoever, and that's where we would put people up

133
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 3: anytime they were staying from out of town. And it

134
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 3: was so embarrassing dropping there because was it nice. It

135
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:49,119
Speaker 3: looks exactly like one of those rent room for thirty

136
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 3: minutes places. It used to be one of those places

137
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 3: where you could rent by the hour.

138
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 1: Oh god, so killet proof glass. I love it. The

139
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 1: iheard budgets.

140
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 3: I've redone it right, But you can't out, you know,

141
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 3: pace the look of one of those cheap cedy motels.

142
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 3: So it looks like there's either going to be a

143
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 3: body in the parking lot or hookers standing out front

144
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 3: of it.

145
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 2: Wow.

146
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,159
Speaker 1: Sorry, wow, sorry to say that. So we really so

147
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 1: far I have not paid it quite a elegant picture

148
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,600
Speaker 1: of Los Angeles or Burbank in this case. Well, look,

149
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:22,840
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know. I love going out to

150
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 1: the West Coast. But you know the reason why I

151
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 1: don't think I could live on the West Coast is

152
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,839
Speaker 1: because all of the natural disasters. They would they because

153
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 1: they do get really really intense with fires and slides

154
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 1: and yeah, el Nina, you know all of it. But

155
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 1: it's a nice place. So you and your friend are

156
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 1: you travel friends? You like to go different cities with

157
