WEBVTT - Tim Kalpakis Disobeys Bridger 0:00:08.720 --> 0:00:14.440 And I invited you here. I thought I made myself 0:00:14.600 --> 0:00:21.239 perfectly clear. When you're a guest to my home, you 0:00:21.400 --> 0:00:27.240 gotta come to me empty. And I said, no guests, 0:00:27.520 --> 0:00:30.160 you're our presences. Presents enough. 0:00:31.320 --> 0:00:35.920 I already had too much stuff, So how do you 0:00:36.240 --> 0:00:38.240 dare to surbey me? 0:00:49.800 --> 0:00:54.960 Welcome to I said, no gifts. I'm Richard Wineger. We 0:00:55.160 --> 0:00:59.560 are here in the studio. I'm in the throes of 0:00:59.720 --> 0:01:03.440 jet I know you know last week's episode I complained 0:01:03.440 --> 0:01:07.800 about jet lag, but that was actually recorded yesterday. Does 0:01:07.840 --> 0:01:11.200 this make sense? So we've recorded two in a row. 0:01:11.280 --> 0:01:13.600 I hate to shatter the illusion that the podcast isn't 0:01:13.640 --> 0:01:17.000 coming to you live, but there's I don't even know 0:01:17.040 --> 0:01:19.520 what I'm saying. I slept for an hour last night, 0:01:19.560 --> 0:01:23.440 and I feel insane. I'm kicking things over. I just 0:01:23.520 --> 0:01:25.759 kicked something over. You can't see that. No one can 0:01:25.800 --> 0:01:29.520 see that except for me. But I wanted to drag 0:01:29.560 --> 0:01:34.280 you through all of this. What's good? What's happening. I've 0:01:34.280 --> 0:01:38.120 got a new parking lot at the studio. They've really 0:01:38.160 --> 0:01:41.959 done the works with this thing. All the bells and whistles, 0:01:42.160 --> 0:01:45.119 beautiful new paint job. I don't know if they'd put 0:01:45.160 --> 0:01:48.240 new asphalt or not, but it smells like new asphalt, 0:01:48.320 --> 0:01:50.320 and so it was exciting to park and get out 0:01:50.320 --> 0:01:54.000 of my car. I was found coffee this morning. I 0:01:54.000 --> 0:01:57.560 thought I saw a mildly famous person that I think 0:01:57.560 --> 0:01:59.560 it was just some loser. So it wasn't even a 0:01:59.600 --> 0:02:02.560 famous person, but if it was, I would say who 0:02:02.600 --> 0:02:04.120 I thought it was. But then what if it was 0:02:04.200 --> 0:02:09.040 her and I just thought she was a loser. I'm 0:02:09.080 --> 0:02:12.920 so sorry. I don't know what's wrong with me. We 0:02:12.960 --> 0:02:16.639 should get into the episode. I love today's guest. It's 0:02:16.680 --> 0:02:19.720 Tim Kalpaca's Tim. Welcome to I said, no gifts. 0:02:19.480 --> 0:02:21.360 Thank you, thanks for having me. And I did clock 0:02:21.680 --> 0:02:23.679 the new asphalt in park? 0:02:23.800 --> 0:02:24.440 Did you smell it? 0:02:24.560 --> 0:02:26.360 I like, I've never been here before. But I pulled in. 0:02:26.440 --> 0:02:28.919 I was like, well, well, well, my. 0:02:28.760 --> 0:02:31.359 God, slipping and sliding on that thing. 0:02:32.080 --> 0:02:34.800 Yeah, I know, my god, splashing all over the place, 0:02:34.840 --> 0:02:37.200 but I did. It's so funny, like subconsciously was just like, 0:02:37.360 --> 0:02:39.359 it's really nice to be in a brand new parking lot. 0:02:40.360 --> 0:02:43.440 There is something nice about it's just smooth. You know, 0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:45.480 you're not going to be tripping, You're not gonna be 0:02:45.520 --> 0:02:50.000 driving through any potholes. It just feels Chris, And yesterday 0:02:50.440 --> 0:02:52.239 that wasn't the case. I had to park on the street, 0:02:52.840 --> 0:02:55.079 and everybody felt how mad I. 0:02:55.200 --> 0:02:59.079 Was about that. Yeah, the street, which is actually like 0:02:59.160 --> 0:03:02.000 a closer walk into the studio because the door's right there. 0:03:02.040 --> 0:03:05.359 But it was actually probably an easier way to park altogether. 0:03:05.600 --> 0:03:08.520 But you know, the principle of it was imperial. 0:03:08.840 --> 0:03:10.920 You host the show, I host the show. I was 0:03:10.960 --> 0:03:13.360 surprised that there isn't a name plate back there. You know, 0:03:14.240 --> 0:03:17.200 this is a free for all. My god, it's a mess. 0:03:17.240 --> 0:03:21.560 It's complete chaos. I feel like I'm just some random employee. 0:03:21.600 --> 0:03:24.079 It's disgusting. What am I a production assist? 0:03:25.240 --> 0:03:27.040 Awful? I'm on the mic. 0:03:26.919 --> 0:03:29.040 Here I should be, you know, I should know exactly 0:03:29.080 --> 0:03:30.000 where I'm parking. 0:03:30.280 --> 0:03:31.880 Were you ever a production assistant? 0:03:32.200 --> 0:03:34.639 It was for a really long time, for longer than 0:03:34.800 --> 0:03:35.560 I should have been. 0:03:35.560 --> 0:03:37.520 Well, I was. I was four years at one place. 0:03:37.520 --> 0:03:38.400 Four years as well. 0:03:38.520 --> 0:03:43.120 No. Yes, mine was a Gracie Films, which does the Simpsons. 0:03:43.120 --> 0:03:45.160 So I was like James L. Brooks's PA. 0:03:45.560 --> 0:03:47.880 Wow, that's kind of an impressive PA position. 0:03:47.960 --> 0:03:49.600 Yeah, but you're supposed to do it for like one 0:03:49.640 --> 0:03:52.120 year and then become a second assistant, and then first assistant, 0:03:52.160 --> 0:03:53.880 and then you know, like be a producer. 0:03:54.080 --> 0:03:57.480 Right, it feels like you're like a really delayed puberty 0:03:57.600 --> 0:03:59.680 or something where you're just like, oh, everybody else got 0:03:59.680 --> 0:04:00.000 out of it. 0:04:00.640 --> 0:04:03.520 And they started toward the end they hinted to me like, 0:04:03.640 --> 0:04:05.800 if you're not getting promoted, you're kind of supposed to quit, 0:04:05.920 --> 0:04:07.640 you know. So they're like, Timmy kind of been here 0:04:07.680 --> 0:04:09.440 a long time, what do you want to do career wise? 0:04:10.080 --> 0:04:14.400 It's like, pa, I guess what was holding you back? Well, 0:04:14.440 --> 0:04:16.880 it was a really easy job, and I loved I 0:04:16.920 --> 0:04:19.400 was doing like UCB every night with my sketch group 0:04:19.400 --> 0:04:21.680 of birthday boys, So I kind of wanted to just 0:04:21.720 --> 0:04:24.360 do nothing all day and then go to UCB. So 0:04:24.720 --> 0:04:26.360 I wasn't putting in the type of effort that gets 0:04:26.400 --> 0:04:28.680 you promoted. But I certainly wasn't gonna leave because I 0:04:28.680 --> 0:04:31.600 had such an easy job. So I posted up for 0:04:31.600 --> 0:04:33.600 four years. But I remember like in the end of 0:04:33.600 --> 0:04:34.840 the four years, I was like, I've been here as 0:04:34.839 --> 0:04:36.240 long as I was in college. 0:04:37.160 --> 0:04:40.120 Yeah, it starts to get to a really bad feeling. 0:04:40.160 --> 0:04:41.280 I mean I got I got to the point where 0:04:41.279 --> 0:04:43.480 I was like, oh, I was literally looking up jobs 0:04:43.800 --> 0:04:45.240 in Salt Lake City again. I was like, oh, I 0:04:45.240 --> 0:04:47.839 guess I just I failed. I have to go home 0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:51.159 right now. I did my time, but I think part 0:04:51.200 --> 0:04:53.919 of it was I didn't within the place I was. 0:04:54.040 --> 0:04:55.960 I did not want to be promoted because I felt 0:04:56.000 --> 0:04:58.120 like it would become even more of a prison, and 0:04:58.200 --> 0:04:59.520 so I just thought, well, I just get to be 0:04:59.560 --> 0:05:03.479 online all days, just on the internet, screwing around and 0:05:03.960 --> 0:05:06.080 like the first hour of the day's work and then 0:05:06.120 --> 0:05:08.919 it's just whatever I want for the next seven hours. 0:05:09.360 --> 0:05:11.320 Why wouldn't I just keep doing this horrible thing? 0:05:11.400 --> 0:05:13.400 And it's weird then when you don't have that job 0:05:13.400 --> 0:05:15.200 anymore and it's like the middle of a weekday and 0:05:15.200 --> 0:05:17.440 you're not working, but you're just scrolling the internet as well, 0:05:17.440 --> 0:05:18.880 and you're like, oh, I used to get paid to 0:05:19.000 --> 0:05:21.640 this and get like free lunch from tender Greens. 0:05:22.920 --> 0:05:25.880 Yes, oh, tender Greens. That's a business I'd like to 0:05:25.960 --> 0:05:27.000 run out of town. 0:05:28.480 --> 0:05:30.760 I feel like I liked it when it was free 0:05:30.760 --> 0:05:32.279 for lunch, but I could never pay for it. That 0:05:32.400 --> 0:05:35.440 like Sweet Green, Mendosino Farms, all the salad places in 0:05:35.560 --> 0:05:38.480 LA they just taste like office food that should be free, 0:05:38.480 --> 0:05:40.200 so I would never be able to pay money for 0:05:40.240 --> 0:05:41.240 those Yeah, you cut. 0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:44.000 When I'm at one of those places, now I feel like, oh, 0:05:44.080 --> 0:05:47.560 I'm being ripped off. I'm like, what, this feels unnatural 0:05:47.560 --> 0:05:49.120 that I'm giving them my money. 0:05:49.279 --> 0:05:51.080 You know, I'm used to getting this for free. Is 0:05:51.080 --> 0:05:54.599 there something we could work out? Does James Oldbrooks know 0:05:54.680 --> 0:05:55.159 about this? 0:05:56.000 --> 0:05:57.920 Yeah? I wonder. I don't know how I would feel 0:05:57.960 --> 0:05:59.760 about any of those places if I hadn't worked in 0:05:59.800 --> 0:06:02.039 an office that had just given it to me prior 0:06:02.160 --> 0:06:05.200 to it, right, I mean I do. I can speak 0:06:05.240 --> 0:06:08.719 to Mendocino. I remember being there when they first opened, 0:06:08.880 --> 0:06:11.239 before it became an office food, and I remember thinking 0:06:11.240 --> 0:06:14.760 this is good. But now it tastes like food stuff, 0:06:15.120 --> 0:06:17.640 you know, like it feels like the idea of food. 0:06:18.279 --> 0:06:20.960 Right, And especially because they're trying to lean into a 0:06:21.000 --> 0:06:24.240 farm to table vibe, that makes it even worse because 0:06:24.760 --> 0:06:27.440 because I don't believe, well, I've never been in Mendocino 0:06:27.480 --> 0:06:29.039 to look at their farms, so I don't know. But 0:06:29.279 --> 0:06:31.000 I mean, it's the same thing with Lacroix. I can't 0:06:31.000 --> 0:06:32.440 buy Lacroix. 0:06:31.920 --> 0:06:33.479 Oh my god, can you imagine? 0:06:33.520 --> 0:06:36.520 Now? I buy Perier Laurente. 0:06:36.800 --> 0:06:39.120 Oh yeah, he's at work. 0:06:39.160 --> 0:06:41.599 It's like I'll have a thousand Lacroix and won't appreciate 0:06:41.640 --> 0:06:42.280 them whatsoever. 0:06:42.760 --> 0:06:44.520 Actually I will now. I feel like kind of a 0:06:44.560 --> 0:06:47.480 fraud because I do buy Lacroix now, but that's only 0:06:47.560 --> 0:06:51.080 because we record this show sometimes in my backyard. 0:06:51.320 --> 0:06:52.480 I was hoping for a backyard. 0:06:53.520 --> 0:06:54.760 Why didn't you say something. 0:06:55.680 --> 0:06:59.400 I just didn't have the balls. I was just stewing 0:07:00.400 --> 0:07:03.200 for yourself. I'll be honest. I didn't look until I 0:07:03.279 --> 0:07:05.000 was like leaving home today. I looked at the email 0:07:05.080 --> 0:07:06.440 and put in the address, and I was like, oh, 0:07:06.440 --> 0:07:10.560 this is not okay. What are we doing on a Lisha's. 0:07:10.560 --> 0:07:12.480 There's some sort of bird noise we can play over 0:07:12.600 --> 0:07:21.320 the headphones or a helicopter. Children screaming, school bells, dump trucks, home, 0:07:21.840 --> 0:07:26.040 neighbor's fighting, cats, meowing. I think those are the typical 0:07:26.080 --> 0:07:26.880 sounds we hear. 0:07:26.720 --> 0:07:27.880 In the back of Yeah, loud. 0:07:28.600 --> 0:07:32.560 Outside of the screaming, we'll put in post. I want 0:07:32.560 --> 0:07:37.320 to hear all of those at once, just alarming sounds. 0:07:37.800 --> 0:07:42.600 Although I had a friend messaged me last night at 0:07:42.640 --> 0:07:45.440 the wonderful Katie Fishal to let me know that she 0:07:45.440 --> 0:07:49.560 started listening to the podcast to fall asleep, but she 0:07:50.080 --> 0:07:53.320 said it's because she's Uh, there's like a sweet spot 0:07:53.360 --> 0:07:55.680 of podcasts she can listen to where she's engaged enough, 0:07:55.720 --> 0:07:58.880 but they don't make alarming noises. But if we could 0:07:58.880 --> 0:08:02.080 get some alarming noises for her now, just to wake 0:08:02.120 --> 0:08:03.960 her up in the middle of the night to teach 0:08:03.960 --> 0:08:05.560 her a lesson, that would be important. 0:08:06.240 --> 0:08:08.920 Have you listened to any of the calm like the 0:08:09.240 --> 0:08:11.520 it's podcasts that put you to sleep on purpose. No, 0:08:11.800 --> 0:08:15.880 they're like short stories that are rambly and repetitive. Oh 0:08:15.960 --> 0:08:18.880 that sounds great. Yeah, it's like I did. I did 0:08:18.880 --> 0:08:20.240 a free trial and it worked, and then I was like, 0:08:20.280 --> 0:08:21.200 I don't know if we're gonna. 0:08:21.200 --> 0:08:22.080 It's a pay thing. 0:08:22.720 --> 0:08:23.560 I'm not doing that. 0:08:23.960 --> 0:08:26.680 I can find plenty of boring podcasts to listen to. 0:08:27.080 --> 0:08:28.720 Oh you know, it was a good pay thing. I 0:08:29.080 --> 0:08:32.679 another free trial that I decided recently. There is like 0:08:32.880 --> 0:08:39.840 a romance like like erotica romance podcast work. I'm forgetting 0:08:39.840 --> 0:08:42.760 what it's called, but it's like it's it's like for women, 0:08:43.679 --> 0:08:47.680 and it's like first person guys talking to you, like, hmm, 0:08:48.360 --> 0:08:50.760 I just bought this tuxedo. It's nice to see you 0:08:50.800 --> 0:08:54.440 at this gala. Would you like to step aside into 0:08:54.480 --> 0:08:56.720 a side room? And like I was just I was curious, 0:08:56.760 --> 0:08:59.800 like what are cause it's it's not like super graphic, 0:09:00.400 --> 0:09:02.880 but it captures the imagination that it's like a guy. 0:09:03.440 --> 0:09:05.920 The one I listened to that the character was an 0:09:06.040 --> 0:09:11.720 art thief. He is, so he's like wooing a lady 0:09:11.760 --> 0:09:14.280 but then also stealing art. But I guess that's the 0:09:14.360 --> 0:09:18.679 ultimate fantasy. He's a gentleman thief. Yeah, exactly, what's more like? 0:09:18.760 --> 0:09:20.520 And like he has good taste and art, you know, 0:09:20.559 --> 0:09:22.719 he's a part of like society. 0:09:22.880 --> 0:09:26.319 Yeah wow, but he's still a rogue. 0:09:26.360 --> 0:09:28.280 He's the bad boy of the art scene. 0:09:29.400 --> 0:09:31.920 That's a I mean, this is I feel like there's 0:09:31.920 --> 0:09:34.320 a good knockoff podcast of that called dream Date that's 0:09:34.360 --> 0:09:36.760 like puts you to sleep, but it's also your dream date. 0:09:36.920 --> 0:09:39.800 Yeah, and then you have a wet dream like. 0:09:41.520 --> 0:09:47.679 No, wow, I'd like to listen to that. That sounds engaging. 0:09:48.000 --> 0:09:50.400 I'll send it to you. And I mean, if that 0:09:50.480 --> 0:09:52.160 free trial had not ended, I would be I would 0:09:52.200 --> 0:09:53.720 be all over it. It was very good. 0:09:57.480 --> 0:10:00.440 This is a podcast I think I don't I'm bringing 0:10:00.480 --> 0:10:03.280 this up in comparison to that. But this podcast that 0:10:03.360 --> 0:10:05.920 I love called Rumble Strip, which this woman does out 0:10:05.920 --> 0:10:08.760 of Vermont, and she just talks to local Vermont residents 0:10:08.800 --> 0:10:11.200 and that's a very good, good one to fall asleep to, wow, 0:10:11.240 --> 0:10:12.160 because it's pleasant. 0:10:12.600 --> 0:10:15.400 She's just talking to people in a quiet voice. 0:10:16.040 --> 0:10:18.840 And I don't even know why I bring that up, 0:10:18.840 --> 0:10:21.640 probably because I'm so out of my mind. 0:10:22.240 --> 0:10:25.319 Well, it is it intentionally? Like does she know she's 0:10:25.400 --> 0:10:27.040 making just a soothing thing or is it supposed to be? 0:10:27.080 --> 0:10:28.840 Like I'm a local Vermont and these are the issues. 0:10:29.040 --> 0:10:32.120 I think it's both. I think she knows that. It's 0:10:32.160 --> 0:10:34.640 like I think when you call a thing rumble strip, 0:10:35.240 --> 0:10:38.040 isn't a rumble strip but the resign to wake you 0:10:38.160 --> 0:10:38.640 up up? 0:10:38.720 --> 0:10:40.440 Yeah? So are there loud sounds? 0:10:40.440 --> 0:10:43.080 Eventually she just has like an airhorn in the middle 0:10:43.120 --> 0:10:48.760 of wake up. No, that's a good question. But uh, 0:10:48.880 --> 0:10:50.880 I again, I don't know why I bring it up. 0:10:51.000 --> 0:10:52.120 And that's fine. 0:10:53.200 --> 0:10:58.600 I'm trying to find the logic what I'm here to 0:10:58.640 --> 0:10:59.720 promote projects. 0:11:00.720 --> 0:11:02.720 I'm trying to think of any recent pre trials that 0:11:02.760 --> 0:11:05.840 I've ripped off, you know, because I never sign up 0:11:05.880 --> 0:11:08.320 for a thing knowing that I'm actually going to pay 0:11:08.360 --> 0:11:11.840 for it. Occasionally they'll get me and then I'll complain 0:11:11.880 --> 0:11:15.280 and get my money back. I recently lied to a 0:11:15.320 --> 0:11:18.160 coffee service because I had forgotten to cancel it and 0:11:18.240 --> 0:11:20.880 then didn't and they charged me, and so I kind 0:11:20.880 --> 0:11:24.480 of blamed them how I emailed them and said, I 0:11:24.520 --> 0:11:26.640 thought I had canceled this and I'm going to be 0:11:26.640 --> 0:11:27.520 out of town. 0:11:27.520 --> 0:11:30.400 And that worked. They're like, oh, you thought that. We 0:11:30.840 --> 0:11:32.280 realized you had thought that. 0:11:32.840 --> 0:11:34.439 I couldn't believe that it had worked. 0:11:34.440 --> 0:11:34.720 Wow. 0:11:34.800 --> 0:11:39.160 It felt very like twenty fifteen customer service, when a 0:11:39.160 --> 0:11:41.400 lot of these online companies really would do whatever you 0:11:41.440 --> 0:11:43.719 wanted them to. And now I feel like they've kind 0:11:43.720 --> 0:11:46.679 of locked things up where you can't complain. I'll complain 0:11:46.760 --> 0:11:49.600 to people now and they'll be like, tough luck. I 0:11:49.640 --> 0:11:52.520 had an Uber ride like a couple of months ago 0:11:52.640 --> 0:11:57.079 where I felt legitimately in danger and I complained to 0:11:57.120 --> 0:11:59.400 them and they gave me nothing. 0:12:01.080 --> 0:12:02.360 What was the legitimate danger? 0:12:02.480 --> 0:12:04.959 The guy was out of his mind. She was screaming 0:12:05.000 --> 0:12:08.400 at everybody we had. He took only surface streets back 0:12:08.400 --> 0:12:11.280 from Lax. He was cutting through parking lots. He was 0:12:11.320 --> 0:12:13.120 just doing a lot of weird stuff where I was like, 0:12:13.120 --> 0:12:17.760 this doesn't seem normal, and the app kept trying to 0:12:17.880 --> 0:12:19.880 get him back on track, and. 0:12:19.600 --> 0:12:20.760 He's like, I know better than the app. 0:12:20.880 --> 0:12:23.920 Yeah, yes, and he absolutely didn't. It probably took at 0:12:24.040 --> 0:12:26.760 least fifty percent extra time to get back to my home. 0:12:27.280 --> 0:12:29.640 And so you complained and I just like, thank you 0:12:29.679 --> 0:12:30.920 for your feedback. Yeah. 0:12:31.400 --> 0:12:33.120 Sorry, it never. 0:12:32.960 --> 0:12:37.160 Crosses my mind to even try. I was with friends 0:12:37.240 --> 0:12:39.720 leaving I saw a movie at the Americana at the 0:12:39.760 --> 0:12:41.920 mall recently and was like leaving the parking structure and 0:12:41.960 --> 0:12:44.840 we had forgot our ticket for validation right, and my 0:12:44.840 --> 0:12:47.920 friend's girlfriend was like, oh, watch this and she said 0:12:47.960 --> 0:12:49.880 like to the voice, like you hit the button and 0:12:50.200 --> 0:12:53.040 she was like, I'm so sorry. I lost my purse 0:12:53.080 --> 0:12:54.720 and I don't have the ticket, and I know you 0:12:54.760 --> 0:12:56.520 can't let me go, but could you please and like 0:12:56.559 --> 0:12:58.320 put on a whole show. And then there's a long 0:12:58.360 --> 0:13:00.719 silence and the guy goes, can offer you a one 0:13:00.760 --> 0:13:05.120 time courtesy? Yeah, and I wonder how many one time 0:13:05.160 --> 0:13:07.800 courtesy exits he's had given out that day, but he 0:13:07.920 --> 0:13:09.760 just let us out. The arm went up and we 0:13:09.840 --> 0:13:10.960 left for free entirely. 0:13:11.160 --> 0:13:14.319 Wow. One how does he track one time. Do you 0:13:14.360 --> 0:13:15.160 take her information? 0:13:15.679 --> 0:13:17.679 No, not at all, but it would be amazing if 0:13:17.679 --> 0:13:20.480 he was like tracking very closely. But now I think 0:13:20.480 --> 0:13:23.360 if you're just she was kind of I don't know 0:13:23.360 --> 0:13:24.800 if you could see us or was just listening, but 0:13:24.880 --> 0:13:26.400 she was kind of starting to sound like she was 0:13:26.440 --> 0:13:27.040 gonna cry. 0:13:27.120 --> 0:13:29.800 Oh see, this was exactly That's exactly where my mind went. 0:13:29.880 --> 0:13:31.040 I would start with crying. 0:13:31.120 --> 0:13:36.120 I would shop excuse me where now, let me get 0:13:36.160 --> 0:13:36.960 to the matter at hand. 0:13:38.920 --> 0:13:43.120 I lost my being. Key. Wow, that's a dangerous behavior. 0:13:43.160 --> 0:13:45.280 Parking in the pay parking lot at that mall. I 0:13:45.400 --> 0:13:47.400 park in the free one all the time. 0:13:47.520 --> 0:13:49.880 Right, you mean like over at the at the galleria. 0:13:49.960 --> 0:13:51.800 That's what I used to do in the classic. Oh, 0:13:51.840 --> 0:13:52.840 there's there's free. 0:13:53.080 --> 0:13:55.240 Free one right next to the pay one by the 0:13:55.320 --> 0:13:57.160 in and out. And I know the listener loves this. 0:13:58.520 --> 0:13:59.920 They have not heard enough about Losi. 0:14:02.800 --> 0:14:04.560 But this is I want to I do want to 0:14:04.720 --> 0:14:08.000 really describe this situation. There's the pay parking lot owned 0:14:08.040 --> 0:14:12.920 by local villain Rick Cruse. Next door, there's an in 0:14:13.000 --> 0:14:15.560 and out. Do you know this in and out? The 0:14:15.600 --> 0:14:18.440 parking lot attached to that is technically part of the 0:14:18.440 --> 0:14:22.120 Galleria and it's attached to Bloomingdale's. All of this, that's 0:14:22.160 --> 0:14:23.160 all free parking. 0:14:23.480 --> 0:14:24.160 Wow. 0:14:24.280 --> 0:14:26.360 And it's truly right next door. 0:14:26.520 --> 0:14:29.120 So when I'm parking for free at Target, this is 0:14:29.160 --> 0:14:32.280 the same like ownership, same free parking situation, just a. 0:14:32.200 --> 0:14:36.080 Different one mister Galleria's lot for whatever reason, because that 0:14:36.200 --> 0:14:38.680 mall is attached across the street. 0:14:39.960 --> 0:14:41.120 Wow. People love this. 0:14:41.400 --> 0:14:45.880 I love this. That technically is the kind of its 0:14:45.880 --> 0:14:47.120 own little sovereign nation. 0:14:47.480 --> 0:14:47.760 Damn. 0:14:48.480 --> 0:14:50.920 So that's a little tip that I learned recently because 0:14:50.920 --> 0:14:52.760 I had been walking all the way from the Target. 0:14:52.760 --> 0:14:54.320 But if you see a late movie, then you have 0:14:54.360 --> 0:14:57.800 to walk outside the entire time. In the tough streets 0:14:57.800 --> 0:15:03.000 of Glendale, I'm always scared something's gonna happen to me. 0:15:03.200 --> 0:15:07.400 But now I'm in total protection, uh and free and 0:15:07.480 --> 0:15:09.800 I don't have to worry about getting my ticket validated, 0:15:10.320 --> 0:15:13.520 which also it's not free parking. And again people love 0:15:13.880 --> 0:15:19.240 ticket talk. But that parking lot, even with a validation, 0:15:19.280 --> 0:15:22.040 I think, is five dollars, which I think is ridiculous. 0:15:22.240 --> 0:15:24.560 I know, and I'll say this the one and this 0:15:24.640 --> 0:15:26.600 is relatable to people all across the world in all 0:15:26.640 --> 0:15:29.600 kinds of parking lots. The one thing that I think 0:15:29.640 --> 0:15:32.240 when I'm going into a structure is like, I'm gonna 0:15:32.240 --> 0:15:34.320 have to pay. This is gonna suck, but I'm gonna 0:15:34.360 --> 0:15:36.160 go to the tippy top and I'm gonna get a 0:15:36.160 --> 0:15:39.120 beautiful view. And I'm like, if I'll go to the 0:15:39.120 --> 0:15:41.280 top of any structure and it's like I'm on the 0:15:41.360 --> 0:15:43.440 rooftop and I'm like, this would be nice. After the movie, 0:15:43.440 --> 0:15:45.720 I'll come back up here and it'll be beautiful. But 0:15:45.760 --> 0:15:47.880 the one at the Americana has been closed. 0:15:48.040 --> 0:15:48.760 Oh you're kidding. 0:15:48.840 --> 0:15:51.240 So I've been driving up. I keep forgetting and I'll 0:15:51.280 --> 0:15:53.120 drive up and that's all of me to like the 0:15:53.200 --> 0:15:56.360 second to the top. So it's just like the long yeah, 0:15:56.400 --> 0:15:59.120 and I'm the most amount of driving to get up there, 0:15:59.320 --> 0:16:02.560 and then I'm just in the old stuff up there. 0:16:02.640 --> 0:16:05.040 What's the logic behind that? 0:16:05.440 --> 0:16:06.920 I don't know. I don't know what's going on on 0:16:07.000 --> 0:16:07.600 that rooftop. 0:16:07.720 --> 0:16:10.080 Wow, that's a real shape. They've got something happening up there. 0:16:10.080 --> 0:16:11.520 Are probably satellite I was. 0:16:11.440 --> 0:16:15.520 Hoping you would know because like I always parking. 0:16:15.480 --> 0:16:18.880 You know, a gorgeous rooftop parking in Los Angeles. I 0:16:18.920 --> 0:16:21.600 think it's is underrated. As the home depot in Hollywood. 0:16:22.560 --> 0:16:23.200 Great date. 0:16:25.800 --> 0:16:29.040 I've looked at the structure. I've part I've been able 0:16:29.040 --> 0:16:31.280 to find parking on the normal lot right in front 0:16:31.280 --> 0:16:31.800 of the building. 0:16:31.840 --> 0:16:35.080 No no, no, no, take take yourself up to the top 0:16:35.080 --> 0:16:37.800 of that trait yourself. They've got an elevator. You get 0:16:37.840 --> 0:16:42.400 a view of Hollywood. I mean to be on top 0:16:42.440 --> 0:16:43.320 of a home depot. 0:16:44.200 --> 0:16:45.840 I went when I first moved to LA I went 0:16:45.880 --> 0:16:49.160 to that home depot and I was like fresh out 0:16:49.200 --> 0:16:50.720 of college. So me and my friends were kind of 0:16:50.760 --> 0:16:53.480 like getting drunk and barfing all the time that era. 0:16:53.880 --> 0:16:58.800 So we were we like I think we maybe went 0:16:58.840 --> 0:17:00.600 to the Dresden because we trying to be like the 0:17:00.640 --> 0:17:03.120 Swingers guys. Oh god, and I got drunk. And then 0:17:03.160 --> 0:17:06.000 the next day we're moving. We had rented a U 0:17:06.080 --> 0:17:11.159 haul and we were moving to uh like uh like 0:17:11.280 --> 0:17:14.160 move into our house. That's but I'm hungover. So we're 0:17:14.160 --> 0:17:16.080 going to home depot to get some like move in 0:17:16.240 --> 0:17:18.920 type of stuff and uh, you know how there's there's 0:17:19.040 --> 0:17:21.639 like day laborer guys hang around there wanting to hire them. 0:17:21.800 --> 0:17:23.640 So I was walking in. I got kind of swarm 0:17:23.720 --> 0:17:26.320 by those guys like you do, and because they wanted 0:17:26.320 --> 0:17:29.800 me to hire them, and I puked in front of 0:17:30.520 --> 0:17:33.280 so I had. I had like twelve guys gather around me, like, hey, 0:17:33.320 --> 0:17:35.320 would you like help today with your move? And then 0:17:35.359 --> 0:17:37.720 I barfed into a garbage can and they all they 0:17:37.800 --> 0:17:41.159 all scattered at this young girl, and uh, it was 0:17:41.320 --> 0:17:42.760 I want to be like, you know, in general, I'm 0:17:42.760 --> 0:17:45.840 a good employer. Maybe today's just not my day. 0:17:46.119 --> 0:17:48.800 The idea of being hungover while moving makes you want 0:17:48.800 --> 0:17:50.000 to kill my It was the word. 0:17:50.080 --> 0:17:52.240 I mean, there's like pictures of me like just a 0:17:52.280 --> 0:17:53.840 sleep in the back of a giant U haul. I 0:17:53.920 --> 0:17:56.280 was no help. I was moving into a bro house 0:17:56.320 --> 0:17:59.000 with like five guys too, so they were they were 0:17:59.080 --> 0:18:00.399 used to and they just carted me around. 0:18:00.920 --> 0:18:02.479 That's the real rock and roll movers. 0:18:03.200 --> 0:18:05.760 That's some of those people are calling. I've hired rock 0:18:05.760 --> 0:18:10.240 and roll movers before. They're good. What are they? It's 0:18:10.280 --> 0:18:13.760 a moving company based in like Echo Park, I think, 0:18:13.840 --> 0:18:17.080 and they employ like guys in. 0:18:17.080 --> 0:18:18.720 Bands and rock and rollers. 0:18:18.960 --> 0:18:21.040 So yeah, so what's on the vent. 0:18:21.160 --> 0:18:24.920 It's like there's a skull and cross classic rock and roll. 0:18:25.600 --> 0:18:27.480 So I've hired them, not in a long time, but 0:18:27.520 --> 0:18:29.280 it used to be like really cheap, like one hundred 0:18:29.280 --> 0:18:33.000 and fifty dollars ten years ago. But two dudes show 0:18:33.080 --> 0:18:35.600 up and they are like metal heads with long hair, 0:18:35.640 --> 0:18:38.159 stoned out of their minds. And it's great. Like you 0:18:38.200 --> 0:18:40.000 hang out with these funny dudes all day and they're 0:18:40.040 --> 0:18:41.480 just giggling while they carry your couch. 0:18:41.560 --> 0:18:43.560 That's great. They're kind of I wonder if there are 0:18:43.560 --> 0:18:45.520 a lot of roadies in that business. Like when you're 0:18:45.520 --> 0:18:48.400
