I know how to try to 102 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 3: do it. 103 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 1: You know how someone does it, But yeah, I. 104 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 3: Was if there was any water. If you're making more, 105 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:46,280 Speaker 3: I was making four connections connecting two copper pipes, so 106 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,720 Speaker 3: you need two elbows and then and so I have 107 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:52,000 Speaker 3: connected one, two, three, four connections. I had to solder, 108 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,920 Speaker 3: and I had to stretch my arms out. Couldn't see 109 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,840 Speaker 3: it well. And if there's any water, they won't solder. 110 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,680 Speaker 3: So I did the old bread trick. That's where you 111 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,040 Speaker 3: take a piece of bread and shovel up in a pipe. 112 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 3: It has to be bread bread, and it keeps the 113 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 3: water from dripping if you can't shut it off. You know, 114 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 3: there's usually just a drip or two. You shove bread 115 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 3: in there and then when you turn water on, the 116 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 3: bread kind of dissolves and disappears. Okay, cool. That of 117 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 3: course didn't work. I couldn't get it done, and I 118 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 3: had to get some shark bites. 119 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 4: Shark bites and skateboarding is when the skateboard hits your ankle. 120 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 4: That's the only thing I know as shark bite to be. 121 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:42,200 Speaker 4: I did not know about the entire plumbing world. Oh 122 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,400 Speaker 4: it's marvelous stuff for hacks like me, because you know, 123 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 4: there's no threads. It just expands and right, you just 124 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 4: have a smooth surface like on a copper pipe or 125 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,560 Speaker 4: a metal pipe, or or. 126 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 3: A copper or plastic. 127 00:07:57,760 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 1: What makes it constrict then if you put it over 128 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:00,160 Speaker 1: a I. 129 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 3: Mean it's just little seals, little round seals, old ring 130 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 3: type seals works pretty good. So I'll go get a 131 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 3: bag full of those and take you to the airport. 132 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 1: And it is you do do it yourself. 133 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:19,520 Speaker 4: I did tell you about the time I went to 134 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 4: a party at the Van Buren House and the college 135 00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:24,840 Speaker 4: guys there.

But it's difficult to start out 172 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:57,440 Speaker 3: to get listenership to respond routinely and call up, so 173 00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:59,120 Speaker 3: you have to have guests all the time. So I 174 00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:04,720 Speaker 3: was always fighting to get interesting, provocative guests and so 175 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,680 Speaker 3: reading the newspaper all the time, and Mayor Mount County, 176 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:13,080 Speaker 3: some twenty miles away in San Francisco, had had himpaneled 177 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:18,280 Speaker 3: a committee to study whether or not the Bay Bridge 178 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:20,559 Speaker 3: or not the Bay Bridge, but the Golden Gate Bridge 179 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:25,560 Speaker 3: should be restricted to no pedestrians. Yes, we have no pedestrians. 180 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,040 Speaker 1: Because people were jumping off it. 181 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,199 Speaker 3: People do jump off from time to time, every year 182 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:34,320 Speaker 3: or two, and no one ever survives. No, you know, 183 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:38,800 Speaker 3: it's a rare thing. And you know you're eating a 184 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:44,160 Speaker 3: straw for the rest of your life. And so so 185 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,760 Speaker 3: they put these people together, and I thought, well, let 186 00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:51,240 Speaker 3: me call a couple of these people. And I tried 187 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:55,480 Speaker 3: two or three, and I got the Reverend Jones, and 188 00:11:55,760 --> 00:12:00,679 Speaker 3: I knew a little about the People's Temple, right, and 189 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 3: and this was a guy. 190 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:06,960 Speaker 1: And you're not a religious person, no, And I. 191 00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:09,320 Speaker 3: Don't know that he was a religious person. Oh really, 192 00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,079 Speaker 3: you know what this guy was was a good old 193 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 3: fashioned communist. And and I don't I say that in 194 00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:22,360 Speaker 3: the most embracing manner. Yes, that he worked with poor people. 195 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:25,080 Speaker 3: He cared to mark poor people, and he was tired 196 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:29,839 Speaker 3: of people with money not doing enough or not sharing enough. 197 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:33,760 Speaker 3: And he was tired of seeing people struggle, and quite 198 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:39,520 Speaker 3: often if you're there every day, maybe communism appeals to him. Yes, so, 199 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 3: and and a lot of people that want to do 200 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:49,120 Speaker 3: good poor people, at least in the beginning of gravitate 201 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 3: toward religion, because that's that added enticement for. 202 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:57,719 Speaker 1: Followers, right right, you know, you're saving we want to. 203 00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:01,040 Speaker 3: Help people, but also God out there and we all 204 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:05,960 Speaker 3: like him. Yeah, and so come on board. And I 205 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:10,120 Speaker 3: think that, you know, if you could talk to him now, 206 00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:13,000 Speaker 3: which of course you can't, he would really admit he 207 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,520 Speaker 3: was not that religious a guy, but he did a 208 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,160 Speaker 3: lot of good things. So he came to the radio 209 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:21,719 Speaker 3: station and we talked about his feelings about whether or 210 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:24,720 Speaker 3: not people should be walking across the Golden Gate Bridge, 211 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:30,840 Speaker 3: and then he asked me for money to help the people. 212 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 3: Think it was a tenderline district where where he had 213 00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:40,240 Speaker 3: his church, because he was hitting people up and he 214 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:43,960 Speaker 3: got up. Actually he was instrumental in getting mayor Moscow 215 00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:44,760 Speaker 3: you elected. 216 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,280 Speaker 4: Did you give him money? I did give him money, 217 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:48,680 Speaker 4: and you didn't have a lot of money. 218 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,920 Speaker 3: I did not have a lot of money. But there 219 00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:55,240 Speaker 3: are just people that do stuff for other people, and 220 00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:58,439 Speaker 3: you get embarrassed occasionally and say here. 221 00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:02,360 Speaker 4: Yeah, there's what I got. Really, you threst with this guy. 222 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:03,760 Speaker 4: You backed me into a corner. 223 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:06,800 Speaker 3: Here's a twenty And if I met him today, even 224 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,760 Speaker 3: knowing what I did, I'd probably give him more. Yeah, 225 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:14,880 Speaker 3: just because he was charismatic and he was dedicated, and 226 00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:18,200 Speaker 3: he cared about people whose dreams weren't coming. 227 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,440 Speaker 4: It sounds like you don't even know that this is 228 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 4: the guy that poisoned. 229 00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:28,920 Speaker 3: Nine hundred people. Well, I wish I knew who said this, 230 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,480 Speaker 3: and we were talking.

But 234 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:48,560 Speaker 3: like a good commy, he wanted everybody to contribute and 235 00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:52,000 Speaker 3: contribute till it hurt. And that meant to sell your 236 00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:55,760 Speaker 3: furniture hurt, right, And by the way, that's a cute 237 00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:56,280 Speaker 3: daughter you. 238 00:14:56,280 --> 00:15:00,840 Speaker 1: Have, Yeah, in that kind of shit in a creepy So. 239 00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:08,240 Speaker 3: The phrase power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. It 240 00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:13,600 Speaker 3: was played out in this guy's life so dramatically that 241 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:17,240 Speaker 3: the more influence he had, the more he wanted, and 242 00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:19,640 Speaker 3: the more good he wanted to do, the more people 243 00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:23,120 Speaker 3: he wanted to help, and the more people he wanted 244 00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:23,720 Speaker 3: to control. 245 00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:30,720 Speaker 1: Yikes, so was he accused of sleeping with young kids? 246 00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:35,440 Speaker 3: Little by little stories started to surface, and people were 247 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:40,000 Speaker 3: writing expose as those garn people that write expose as 248 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:44,280 Speaker 3: okay uh in the in the chronicle. 249 00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:47,480 Speaker 4: And maybe he was religious then, because that seems to 250 00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:49,320 Speaker 4: be where a lot of people hide from the fact 251 00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:52,720 Speaker 4: that they get bonus from choking. 252 00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,440 Speaker 1: Just a thought. So uh. 253 00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:02,040 Speaker 3: Naturally that district of saying from Cisco at a congressman 254 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:06,880 Speaker 3: and his name was Leo Ryan. And I think congressmen 255 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:10,640 Speaker 3: should have a six year term because they're running constantly. 256 00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:14,040 Speaker 3: They spent all of their time. They're worthless anyway, all 257 00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 3: of them. But they spent too much time running for 258 00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:21,480 Speaker 3: office and raising money to get elected. And you've set 259 00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,800 Speaker 3: offering millions for this one hundred and eighty thousand dollars 260 00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:25,120 Speaker 3: a year or. 261 00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:28,320 Speaker 1: Two, right, raising more money than they will learn. 262 00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:30,880 Speaker 3: At it at the millionaire's club, Yes, which is the 263 00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:35,000 Speaker 3: US Congress. So if Congress were a six year term, 264 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:38,600 Speaker 3: none of this may have happened, right, Lee or Ryan? 265 00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,680 Speaker 3: I was trying to get elected, and he focused on 266 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:43,320 Speaker 3: people's temple. 267 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 4: I argue one, just because we're driving by right there 268 00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:49,560 Speaker 4: at that point in the road.
