00:02:51 ◼   ► station in seattle called kxi that

00:02:54 ◼   ► always used to play big band music but

00:02:56 ◼   ► as the big band generation has died

00:02:58 ◼   ► now the old people are that strange

00:03:03 ◼   ► strange generation born in the thirties

00:03:06 ◼   ► which nobody cares about they don't have

00:03:10 ◼   ► a name their the Lost Generation well

00:03:12 ◼   ► that's a shame it's terrible at their

00:03:14 ◼   ► pre baby boomers but their post greatest

00:03:16 ◼   ► generation and they swear to you Merlin

00:03:19 ◼   ► had the worst music of many people ever

00:03:21 ◼   ► let's see yeah you know they're sort of

00:03:25 ◼   ► like an early version of our generation

00:03:26 ◼   ► the inbetweeners generation if you're

00:03:28 ◼   ► born in the thirties you're gonna be you

00:03:31 ◼   ► know what you're gonna be you're gonna

00:03:32 ◼   ► be the people who screamed Frank

00:03:34 ◼   ► Sinatra's what you're going to be that's

00:03:35 ◼   ► exactly right von Monroe but Frank

00:03:38 ◼   ► Sinatra's early stuff you don't know I

00:03:40 ◼   ► mean I mean yeah I mean like now it's a

00:03:42 ◼   ► natural one point out right when you

00:03:43 ◼   ► offer so not yeah tell me about people

00:03:45 ◼   ► forget about you i think a lot of people

00:03:47 ◼   ► don't really know about Frank Sinatra

00:03:48 ◼   ► mmm i think you're right

00:03:50 ◼   ► well i mean i think there's two at least

00:03:52 ◼   ► two maybe three interesting things a lot

00:03:54 ◼   ► of people don't know about Frank Sinatra

00:03:55 ◼   ► the first of all they don't realize that

00:03:56 ◼   ► he was mayor rudy vallee before him but

00:03:59 ◼   ► he was one of the original giant in like

00:04:02 ◼   ► a national teen heartthrobs you probably

00:04:04 ◼   ► are big pop star that's right and and

00:04:06 ◼   ► that but basically you know as we know

00:04:08 ◼   ► from the Godfather that he was working

00:04:10 ◼   ► for I would say Tommy Shaw when I mean

00:04:13 ◼   ► to say to me don't see it would be kind

00:04:15 ◼   ► of Greater Tommy shot had a big Lear get

00:04:17 ◼   ► a wood and Frank Sinatra was the singer

00:04:20 ◼   ► Oh mom here with my long arm of the

00:04:23 ◼   ► lobby mom

00:04:25 ◼   ► yeah but and so he's under contract damn

00:04:28 ◼   ► he was basically he was just another guy

00:04:30 ◼   ► working for them and then you know and

00:04:33 ◼   ► then the dawn got him out of the

00:04:34 ◼   ► contract

00:04:35 ◼   ► don was with mr. Woltz put the put the

00:04:39 ◼   ► hook for suhoor said mr. Woltz is a bed

00:04:42 ◼   ► my goodness my goodness what a wonderful

00:04:44 ◼   ► seen Frank Sinatra and then I had a

00:04:47 ◼   ► funny CD of his in the eighties excuse

00:04:50 ◼   ► me in there

00:04:50 ◼   ► yeah the late eighties which was no mr.

00:04:54 ◼   ► mr. wall

00:04:55 ◼   ► you haven't yet a CD of his immediate

00:04:57 ◼   ► she was the best piece of ass I ever had

00:05:01 ◼   ► she yeah kind of heroin

00:05:04 ◼   ► yeah that's a shame what happened that

00:05:06 ◼   ► girl he ruined her listen Frank Sinatra

00:05:10 ◼   ► you fucked my wife

00:05:12 ◼   ► haha on the box he had several

00:05:15 ◼   ► interesting things happen one of them

00:05:16 ◼   ► was it like at one point you know

00:05:18 ◼   ► there's a big strike the musicians went

00:05:19 ◼   ► on strike in the forties you know about

00:05:21 ◼   ► this

00:05:22 ◼   ► well you have a big musician strike in

00:05:23 ◼   ► the 1940s but I hate you

00:05:26 ◼   ► god dammit the musicians went on strike

00:05:28 ◼   ► and so they're debating like what are we

00:05:29 ◼   ► gonna do we cannot record and so there's

00:05:32 ◼   ► this reference columbia there's this

00:05:34 ◼   ► really weird series of songs he did

00:05:36 ◼   ► that's just him one recorded because

00:05:40 ◼   ► that is a hatter room for three hours

00:05:42 ◼   ► one take one and done but yeah and so he

00:05:46 ◼   ► had a record recordings of him with

00:05:48 ◼   ► basically just acapella background

00:05:50 ◼   ► singing my super interesting and then

00:05:54 ◼   ► what people don't realize is he was a

00:05:55 ◼   ► wash up

00:05:56 ◼   ► he was and so that's that can it always

00:05:58 ◼   ► comes back all roads lead back to the

00:05:59 ◼   ► Godfather because because the story

00:06:01 ◼   ► apparently was true that like if he

00:06:04 ◼   ► needed that role he needed a humanistic

00:06:06 ◼   ► Golden Arm well before that though it

00:06:09 ◼   ► was from here to eternity

00:06:11 ◼   ► I think that's the movie they're

00:06:12 ◼   ► referencing as a romantic lay in the

00:06:14 ◼   ► godfather and so what was she like his

00:06:17 ◼   ► career was on the skids and he was what

00:06:19 ◼   ► he was maybe his thirties and then he

00:06:21 ◼   ► went to jail for a they arrested him

00:06:23 ◼   ► you are so excited to tell the story of

00:06:25 ◼   ► Frank Sinatra's American icon is a

00:06:27 ◼   ► horrible human being and and recording

00:06:30 ◼   ► something her public radio he's the

00:06:31 ◼   ► reason his family his estate is the

00:06:34 ◼   ► reason why we get all this

00:06:36 ◼   ► what why there's more careful control of

00:06:38 ◼   ► the IP on dead people bitching about

00:06:39 ◼   ► that you put your body on my mind here

00:06:43 ◼   ► with the tendrils of the Frank Sinatra

00:06:45 ◼   ► stina Sinatra since his death circa

00:06:47 ◼   ► nineteen ninety has run his empire and

00:06:49 ◼   ► basically what they're running into was

00:06:51 ◼   ► that Frank Sinatra's was was like being

00:06:52 ◼   ► put on everything they said this has to

00:06:53 ◼   ► stop long story short you can send

00:06:55 ◼   ► planet money on this very good program

00:06:56 ◼   ► and they basically came up with this new

00:06:59 ◼   ► new kind of law that said that you know

00:07:00 ◼   ► that that's why the Elvis family you

00:07:02 ◼   ► know the other's family puts is a put

00:07:04 ◼   ► his face on everything now but their

00:07:05 ◼   ► money they control that

00:07:07 ◼   ► sure sure

00:07:07 ◼   ► sure where's the James Dean family and

00:07:10 ◼   ► Marilyn Monroe family so they end up on

00:07:13 ◼   ► unlike cocaine mirrors all across

00:07:15 ◼   ► America and all those in a red jacket

00:07:18 ◼   ► point all those all those pictures that

00:07:20 ◼   ► i see i I'm astonished at least have

00:07:24 ◼   ► such a such a tremendous life in a very

00:07:27 ◼   ► life but those pictures of like Marilyn

00:07:30 ◼   ► Monroe James Dean bob marley john lennon

00:07:34 ◼   ► and roy orbison or something all playing

00:07:37 ◼   ► pool you know it's not like it's like

00:07:40 ◼   ► dogs playing poker yeah called the

00:07:42 ◼   ► legends well sure you know if it has

00:07:44 ◼   ► been got heaven must be held a man that

00:07:47 ◼   ► kind of thing yeah Jimi Hendrix's in

00:07:48 ◼   ► there sometimes you know it's like so

00:07:50 ◼   ► weird to me when people do that

00:07:52 ◼   ► yeah and you see them you see these like

00:07:54 ◼   ► it's not really a poster I'm used to

00:07:55 ◼   ► seeing it as an illuminated mirror in a

00:07:59 ◼   ► certain kinds of the kind of painting in

00:08:01 ◼   ► style

00:08:02 ◼   ► yeah yeah it's a painting right it's

00:08:03 ◼   ► like it's like if somebody I think what

00:08:06 ◼   ► happened is somebody noticed that the

00:08:09 ◼   ► Traveling Wilburys had happened and they

00:08:11 ◼   ► were like what if what if we had the

00:08:14 ◼   ► ultimate traveling wilburys it's like

00:08:15 ◼   ► musical fan thick musical fanfic that's

00:08:18 ◼   ► exactly right but I mean value that

00:08:19 ◼   ► bandwidth sound awful horrible because I

00:08:23 ◼   ► wouldn't with James Dean do play the

00:08:25 ◼   ► drums I think bongos

00:08:27 ◼   ► what are you up there for he would be in

00:08:30 ◼   ► the davy jones part he would be the one

00:08:31 ◼   ► with maybe like six maracas or five

00:08:33 ◼   ► tambourines member david jones always

00:08:35 ◼   ► had way too many percussion instruments

00:08:36 ◼   ► that were a lot of tambourines well and

00:08:38 ◼   ► everything is I always wanted him to

00:08:39 ◼   ► where Ricky Ricardo shirt how man Ricky

00:08:45 ◼   ► thing about the 1930s i was watching

00:08:47 ◼   ► band with Ricky Ricardo and James Dean

00:08:49 ◼   ► and and maybe I'm really works and broke

00:08:53 ◼   ► be playing groans I don't like the

00:08:55 ◼   ► honeycombs will be totally cool

00:08:56 ◼   ► Frank's another right to take it is

00:09:00 ◼   ► happening right back

00:09:01 ◼   ► he was the most was that he's the only

00:09:04 ◼   ► one of those guys will remember but

00:09:05 ◼   ► there which one there were dozens of

00:09:07 ◼   ► crooners oh sure it'll get the critters

00:09:29 ◼   ► recent changes to Bobby suck UK but I

00:09:31 ◼   ► but so that is the music that I can hear

00:09:33 ◼   ► in my truck so as per usual I'd

00:09:36 ◼   ► generally leave the radio off when I'm

00:09:38 ◼   ► traveling in the truck

00:09:39 ◼   ► yeah you know that's to me that's a

00:09:41 ◼   ► little bit like reggae I can take a

00:09:42 ◼   ► little bit of that thing a little bit of

00:09:44 ◼   ► that and there are some kinds of things

00:09:46 ◼   ► there's a show i like a lot of uh on

00:09:48 ◼   ► public radio called fascinating rhythm

00:09:50 ◼   ► and it's this guy who goes in and does

00:09:52 ◼   ► like it's basically music of the early

00:09:55 ◼   ► to mid-twentieth century there's

00:09:57 ◼   ► something traumatic and he'll play stuff

00:09:59 ◼   ► like you know Bill Murray the original

00:10:00 ◼   ► memory like the old Irish crooner who

00:12:53 ◼   ► like 33

00:12:55 ◼   ► wow that's probably that accounts for

00:12:58 ◼   ► that is accounted for by the by the wind

00:13:00 ◼   ► that they get up there they are again a

00:13:02 ◼   ► little bit of light rain 10 minutes that

00:13:04 ◼   ► will end in about 15 minutes

00:13:06 ◼   ► did you know that a fighter plane taking

00:13:08 ◼   ► off from the deck of an aircraft as a

00:13:09 ◼   ► word problem John ok a fighter plane

00:13:12 ◼   ► takes off from an aircraft carrier okay

00:13:14 ◼   ► 30 knots and a train leaves minneapolis

00:13:17 ◼   ► headed the other way and it's going well

00:13:20 ◼   ► it's going 11 not some had two units the

00:13:22 ◼   ► miles on my head what

00:13:24 ◼   ► at what point does the fighter plane

00:13:26 ◼   ► overfly the railroad train if you have

00:13:31 ◼   ► no idea where the fighter five-thirty

00:13:32 ◼   ► p.m. at 490 james street

00:13:34 ◼   ► Wow yep you have some mad skills is

00:13:37 ◼   ► common core

00:13:38 ◼   ► I learned the common core system but I

00:13:39 ◼   ► feel like that was an imaginary number

00:13:41 ◼   ► oh yeah

00:13:44 ◼   ► solve for x so we got music Frank

00:13:47 ◼   ► Sinatra yeah whatever hands that that

00:13:49 ◼   ► that what I didn't realize is that a

00:13:51 ◼   ► fighter plane needs to be a means to

00:13:53 ◼   ► have a 30-knot headwind in order to

00:13:56 ◼   ► successfully take off from an aircraft

00:13:57 ◼   ► carrier but not coincidentally 30

00:14:01 ◼   ► minutes is the speed that an aircraft

00:14:04 ◼   ► carrier can can reach when it's really

00:14:06 ◼   ► gonna die soon as engineers are smart

00:14:08 ◼   ► see isn't that nice going on so they

00:14:10 ◼   ► just even if there's no wind at all they

00:14:12 ◼   ► can get 30 not headwind bye-bye kicking

00:14:15 ◼   ► it into high gear and understand this 30

00:14:17 ◼   ► knots is 34.5 two three four miles per

00:14:20 ◼   ► hour but why do you need too many

00:14:21 ◼   ► different things so close it's so close

00:14:24 ◼   ► it was close

00:14:26 ◼   ► well it's not now and not is based on

00:14:28 ◼   ► these to put actual knots in ropes and

00:14:29 ◼   ► that's how they would make sure how far

00:14:31 ◼   ► apart it was yes as long as two knots on

00:14:33 ◼   ► the Kings rope they'd spit out the back

00:14:35 ◼   ► of the ship

00:14:36 ◼   ► uh-huh maybe like what we're traveling

00:14:38 ◼   ► you know 11 knots

00:14:40 ◼   ► how many fathoms in a knot who these are

00:14:44 ◼   ► these are things I yeah there's there's

00:14:47 ◼   ► a very small part of me that feels like

00:14:49 ◼   ► I should have this information but a

00:14:50 ◼   ► much larger part that is glad that i

00:14:53 ◼   ► don't i'm glad that i don't have this

00:14:55 ◼   ► clogging up my brain pipes and that

00:14:57 ◼   ► indeed how many knots are in a league

00:14:58 ◼   ► they found a fathom is six feet now

00:15:02 ◼   ► story is 10 feet i would call when I say

00:15:06 ◼   ► like it's 100 feet

00:15:08 ◼   ► I think of that as being 10 stories yeah

00:15:11 ◼   ► i think it's about 10 feet

00:15:13 ◼   ► yes actually 10 stores ok alright feat

00:15:16 ◼   ► speed two-story so if it's like 800 feet

00:15:18 ◼   ► that's like an 80 story building what

00:15:20 ◼   ► that's crazy there are nearly 80 story

00:15:23 ◼   ► building there's probably some kind of

00:15:24 ◼   ► us the key action at a distance thing

00:15:26 ◼   ► like when it gets further up it

00:15:27 ◼   ► compresses like a forced perspective I

00:15:29 ◼   ► wonder about that

00:15:30 ◼   ► yeah I don't know do you think that you

00:15:32 ◼   ► think that that skyscraper builders are

00:15:34 ◼   ► still using Greek like perspective in

00:15:37 ◼   ► their constructions great person a great

00:15:39 ◼   ► perspective perspective that sounds like

00:15:42 ◼   ► a shell on c-span that not many people

00:15:43 ◼   ► watch a great perspective would be a

00:15:45 ◼   ► great show i'm actually thinking about

00:15:47 ◼   ► starting a show a new show him to to

00:15:51 ◼   ► really flesh out my my nascent empire of

00:15:56 ◼   ► podcasts oh that's a great idea a new

00:16:00 ◼   ► show

00:16:00 ◼   ► ok a new show that talks about the Greek

00:16:03 ◼   ► perspective the so will a lot of

00:16:06 ◼   ► directions with that will have guests

00:16:07 ◼   ► can have spanakopita and all we all.we

00:16:10 ◼   ► that the only thing that needs to tie

00:16:12 ◼   ► the episodes together is what's the

00:16:13 ◼   ► Greek perspective it's just it just has

00:16:16 ◼   ► to be something Greek about it

00:16:17 ◼   ► somebody talks about something nobody

00:16:19 ◼   ► talks about you know whatever it is

00:16:21 ◼   ► pressing suits or or repointing a brick

00:16:25 ◼   ► facade

00:16:26 ◼   ► yeah and that's like what's the Greek

00:16:28 ◼   ► perspective on this right because

00:16:29 ◼   ► they've been around for a pretty long

00:16:30 ◼   ► time they had a lot of time to look at

00:16:32 ◼   ► things so they would have a perspective

00:16:33 ◼   ► on a lot of things we could look at the

00:16:35 ◼   ► old Greek perspective we could look at

00:16:36 ◼   ► the new Greek playing classical Greek a

00:16:38 ◼   ► modern contemporary Greek sort of that

00:16:40 ◼   ► middle period Griffin huge now you can

00:16:42 ◼   ► do that show with Diana you can do that

00:16:43 ◼   ► with something on your own you think I

00:16:45 ◼   ► feel like you know I've got a podcast

00:16:54 ◼   ► chance to do bring in sometimes our user

00:16:56 ◼   ► touches her case it could be on the

00:16:57 ◼   ► Greek perspective

00:16:58 ◼   ► well I wonder you know cirque use' right

00:17:01 ◼   ► well he's mine yours is almost Greek

00:17:03 ◼   ► yeah i mean that's the italian is kinda

00:17:05 ◼   ► between Jewish Greek it's a little bit

00:17:07 ◼   ► in between that's interesting between

00:17:09 ◼   ► Jewish and Greek sort of Italian that

00:17:11 ◼   ► would be another show you have a whole

00:17:13 ◼   ► empire here you could be like you could

00:17:51 ◼   ► have these boxes keep stacking up I've

00:17:54 ◼   ► got a lot of and that's the whole point

00:17:55 ◼   ► that's the MacGuffin that's a great

00:17:57 ◼   ► perspective is that you you can't open

00:17:59 ◼   ► those until you're on his program i feel

00:21:32 ◼   ► wonderful time at that show i was really

00:21:34 ◼   ► nice to give me a bourbon and and I

00:21:37 ◼   ► remember when we met that lady who

00:21:38 ◼   ► wanted to meet you and we took her away

00:21:39 ◼   ► from her husband brought upstairs wasn't

00:21:41 ◼   ► that wonderful so much worse than it was

00:21:43 ◼   ► that really sounded terrible when you

00:21:45 ◼   ► put it that way

00:21:46 ◼   ► no but it was a it was a wonderful time

00:21:47 ◼   ► we had a nice chat we had a nice chat

00:21:49 ◼   ► look at the photo here on the page you

00:21:50 ◼   ► can see us holding microphones and there

00:21:52 ◼   ► was Green a very dynamic is very Italian

00:21:55 ◼   ► was very Italian the one thing I regret

00:21:57 ◼   ► from that show is that some one made a

00:22:00 ◼   ► whole stack of here we go

00:22:02 ◼   ► five-card I'll porch on you think about

00:22:04 ◼   ► stuff if you remember stuff you did

00:22:06 ◼   ► yeah well she's so she made this whole

00:22:08 ◼   ► stack of these things that are the eye

00:22:10 ◼   ► from what i can tell all had each three

00:22:13 ◼   ► by five card had a reference to

00:22:15 ◼   ► something from the program or or you

00:22:17 ◼   ► know like so an extrapolation from from

00:22:20 ◼   ► that and she had placed them carefully

00:22:22 ◼   ► at the front of the stage

00:22:23 ◼   ► I think she got other people to fill

00:22:25 ◼   ► them out to I think that's true

00:22:26 ◼   ► crowd-sourced it they were in different

00:22:28 ◼   ► handwriting and she intended it as as a

00:22:31 ◼   ► nice gift or maybe you know something

00:22:34 ◼   ► that we would either treasure or

00:22:36 ◼   ► utilize and I walked on the stage and I

00:22:39 ◼   ► saw this thing and I recognized it as

00:22:41 ◼   ► some kind of some sort of offering but i

00:22:45 ◼   ► assumed immediately that it was an

00:22:47 ◼   ► attempt to usurp what we were gonna do

00:22:53 ◼   ► yeah bye-bye you know by a UH asserting

00:22:57 ◼   ► some sort of fan ownership over over us

00:23:01 ◼   ► or the show and so I actually naturally

00:23:04 ◼   ► just saying that so I kicked the pile of

00:23:08 ◼   ► cards into the audience and it was a

00:23:11 ◼   ► purpose or Die kick it or did I pick it

00:23:13 ◼   ► up and throw it

00:23:14 ◼   ► I think you flung it is part of you we

00:23:16 ◼   ► describe this we talk about this in an

00:23:17 ◼   ► episode you like to come out on the

00:23:19 ◼   ► stage you complain about things you move

00:23:20 ◼   ► chairs around you you berate staff

00:23:23 ◼   ► because that's part of your as part of

00:23:24 ◼   ► your prep

00:23:25 ◼   ► yeah I come out I say the lights are

00:23:27 ◼   ► terrible and what these aren't where the

00:23:28 ◼   ► chairs belong and you know move around

00:23:30 ◼   ► and I'm like what the hell is this stack

00:23:31 ◼   ► of cards i picked it up I guess in my

00:23:33 ◼   ► throat and warming yeah you're that room

00:23:35 ◼   ► was made for you

00:23:36 ◼   ► yeah but then later I but later I saw

00:23:38 ◼   ► the young woman picking up the cards God

00:23:41 ◼   ► the kind of broken-hearted look on her

00:23:43 ◼   ► face I was so I felt like I was such a

00:23:45 ◼   ► villain would you recognize her if you

00:23:48 ◼   ► saw her again

00:23:49 ◼   ► mm I because i think i might I mean

00:23:51 ◼   ► maybe if her face wasn't so pained the

00:23:54 ◼   ► next time I saw her that maybe I

00:23:55 ◼   ► wouldn't

00:23:56 ◼   ► well I think it's very unlikely that she

00:23:57 ◼   ► will come to the show this year but if

00:23:59 ◼   ► she were to come to the SF sketchfest

00:24:01 ◼   ► performance of rock on the line and

00:35:03 ◼   ► daughter

00:35:03 ◼   ► oh man but unfortunately i live far

00:35:06 ◼   ► enough away that every time I come it's

00:35:09 ◼   ► Oh like hide all the breakable things oh

00:35:11 ◼   ► no well she left she loved the RV she

00:35:14 ◼   ► thought it smelled kind of funny

00:35:15 ◼   ► well I which she thinks everything

00:35:17 ◼   ► smells funny but i noticed that i didn't

00:35:19 ◼   ► notice that she's not a small thing but

00:35:21 ◼   ► she really liked that she really wants

00:35:22 ◼   ► all you can say we're getting a cat

00:35:24 ◼   ► what yeah we should not talk about that

00:35:26 ◼   ► at some point we're adopting a cat

00:35:28 ◼   ► well so the reason the RV smells funny

00:35:30 ◼   ► is that i routed the exhaust through the

00:35:32 ◼   ► cabin her for performance issues yeah

00:35:35 ◼   ► just that's right it just seemed like a

00:35:36 ◼   ► shell pipe was superfluous to my needs

00:35:39 ◼   ► and I got open carry laws you know you

00:35:42 ◼   ► have all kinds should have an open

00:35:43 ◼   ► beverage you know and you get a little

00:35:44 ◼   ► bit of a little bit of the exhaust in

00:35:46 ◼   ► there and comes down calms you down

00:35:48 ◼   ► Shh

00:35:49 ◼   ► Shh you're not gonna make it over the

00:35:53 ◼   ► mountains but Shh

00:35:55 ◼   ► alright you're getting a cat yeah that

00:35:59 ◼   ► seems uh I don't know I've never seen

00:36:01 ◼   ► you to have a pet that's you know that's

00:36:04 ◼   ► very interesting

00:36:05 ◼   ► I i think in life well in life it's

00:36:09 ◼   ► important to look at patterns of what

00:36:12 ◼   ► people show interest in before you try

00:36:14 ◼   ► to push them into things

00:36:15 ◼   ► this is why I've never been a huge fan

00:36:16 ◼   ► nothing against the Girl Scouts accepts

00:36:18 ◼   ► an organization i love like we kind of

00:36:21 ◼   ► pushed her into Girl Scouts without

00:36:22 ◼   ► ain't she never had any interest in any

00:36:23 ◼   ► girl scout things and she's so 100 a

00:36:26 ◼   ► little bit against the Girl Scouts yeah

00:36:28 ◼   ► you said nothing against the girl of

00:36:30 ◼   ► course i did that's what you did the

00:36:31 ◼   ► internet little bit of god there's no

00:36:33 ◼   ► obstacle course to the worst

00:36:37 ◼   ► oh my god it's the worst are you get a

00:36:39 ◼   ► pass for selling cookies that's pretty

00:36:40 ◼   ► weird but in this case she really really

00:36:44 ◼   ► really has wanted a pet

00:36:46 ◼   ► yeah and I i have been pretty adamant

00:36:49 ◼   ► about this that you know this is not a

00:36:52 ◼   ► toy like all the toys that you open and

00:36:54 ◼   ► play with for a minute and put away

00:36:55 ◼   ► because you know the phone is opening

00:36:57 ◼   ► not actually caring for enjoying

00:36:58 ◼   ► collecting yeah that ain't gonna work

00:37:00 ◼   ► with an animal you know setting aside

00:37:03 ◼   ► you know all of the money that it takes

00:37:05 ◼   ► to have a pet that I don't matter how

00:37:07 ◼   ► many ppl account for until it's too late

00:37:10 ◼   ► you're expected to have surgeries for

00:37:11 ◼   ► your animals nowadays yeah you know

00:37:13 ◼   ► about this right now you spend sixty

00:37:14 ◼   ► thousand dollars keeping some dumb

00:37:16 ◼   ► 14-year old cat alive

00:37:17 ◼   ► it's like you know what right i made

00:37:20 ◼   ► into the Soylent Green Machine we won't

00:37:22 ◼   ► even notice the fur

00:37:23 ◼   ► I couldn't agree more it's like another

00:37:25 ◼   ► certain kinds of things I don't need and

00:37:27 ◼   ► one of them is a catalyst for a very

00:37:28 ◼   ► very very long

00:37:29 ◼   ► the cabinet's blind and smells bad and

00:37:33 ◼   ► it didn't bones and it's like I had

00:41:42 ◼   ► and I was just like what dingaling he

00:41:44 ◼   ► sleep in there doesn't he know doesn't

00:41:46 ◼   ► he know from pooping and bad think that

00:41:47 ◼   ► he's just so old that he doesn't know he

00:42:09 ◼   ► I know that you are generally receptive

00:42:11 ◼   ► to my life hacks but this is a major

00:42:12 ◼   ► ones I love life hacks i went to a

00:42:16 ◼   ► christmas party that's thrown by my good

00:42:19 ◼   ► friend Cal and last year at the

00:42:20 ◼   ► Christmas party he had a camel and a

00:42:23 ◼   ► donkey

00:42:24 ◼   ► and the kids all get camel rides always

00:42:28 ◼   ► let's get friendly

00:42:29 ◼   ► yeah and or drunk it's not a classic

00:42:31 ◼   ► donkey show not a classic no it's not

00:42:34 ◼   ► it's not a tijuana donkey show

00:42:35 ◼   ► it's a happy donkey show and the kids

00:42:38 ◼   ► all wait they line up the guy that owns

00:42:40 ◼   ► the camels and donkeys a great kind of a

00:42:43 ◼   ► rancher type guy and all the kids ride

00:42:46 ◼   ► the the donkey and the camera while the

00:42:48 ◼   ► adults get drunk and eat chili itself

00:42:51 ◼   ► and its energy creates a Christmas Eve

00:42:53 ◼   ► party that he has every year and it's a

00:42:54 ◼   ► fantastic something for everybody

00:42:56 ◼   ► yeah that's right get drunk eat chili

00:42:58 ◼   ► and forget about the kids because they

00:43:00 ◼   ► are all patiently waiting in line to

00:43:02 ◼   ► ride a camel even the terrible kids are

00:43:04 ◼   ► willing to wait in line to ride a camel

00:43:07 ◼   ► but in the in the intervening year the

00:43:11 ◼   ► camel died and so everybody's going to

00:43:15 ◼   ► Calais christmas party expected i picked

00:43:17 ◼   ► there are not a lot of camels available

00:43:20 ◼   ► you can't just go just go replace a

00:43:22 ◼   ► camel I don't think you go to pets

00:43:24 ◼   ► petsmart Campbell so the so the camera

00:43:29 ◼   ► is not going to be there and we're all

00:43:30 ◼   ► like what's going to happen I mean the

00:43:31 ◼   ► donkey is great he's a super nice donkey

00:43:33 ◼   ► but that's going to put it going to put

00:43:36 ◼   ► extra pressure on the donkey spray and

00:43:39 ◼   ► and also you know the goal of the of the

00:43:42 ◼   ► passes to distract the kids so the

00:43:43 ◼   ► adults can get drunk and chili yeah so

00:43:46 ◼   ► the rancher shows up this year he's got

00:43:48 ◼   ► the donkey he also brought to Wallabies

00:53:32 ◼   ► have any updates on the RV still

00:53:35 ◼   ► pondering so that time you know you're

00:53:36 ◼   ► one sorry you're in the moment you're

00:53:37 ◼   ► not thinking about right

00:53:38 ◼   ► no I can't I can't continue to be in the

00:53:40 ◼   ► mode of not thinking about it because

00:53:42 ◼   ► the man the RV the guy that is storing

00:53:44 ◼   ► the RV is giving me the very very

00:53:48 ◼   ► friendly but firm voice when he talked

00:53:51 ◼   ► to me on the phone which is yes we

00:53:53 ◼   ► agreed that you can keep it here until

00:53:55 ◼   ► until februari but that is contingent on

00:53:58 ◼   ► you getting mixed here on you moving

00:54:01 ◼   ► forward

00:54:02 ◼   ► yeah he doesn't what I mean I'm guessing

00:54:04 ◼   ► he doesn't want to hear on january 31st

00:54:07 ◼   ► is oh sorry i'll come pick it up in a

00:54:09 ◼   ► week or so right and that and that

00:54:11 ◼   ► worries me because you know what I don't

00:54:14 ◼   ► want is for him to suddenly say like

00:54:15 ◼   ► well if you want it then you have to pay

00:54:17 ◼   ► me 100 dollars a day for storage right

00:54:20 ◼   ► Tom and we did we have no agreement

00:54:22 ◼   ► about that and there's nothing I don't

00:54:24 ◼   ► think keeping him from doing that and in

00:54:27 ◼   ► the probably with the reading cops or

00:54:30 ◼   ► the reading sheriff's office it would be

00:54:32 ◼   ► harder for me to negotiate with them

00:54:34 ◼   ► then this guy who's like I put a lien on

00:54:37 ◼   ► the vehicle and now you have to come to

00:54:39 ◼   ► the reading courthouse know sometimes so

00:54:42 ◼   ► uh so I but I'm not accusing this guy of

00:54:44 ◼   ► that in advance but it just feels like

00:54:46 ◼   ► he is saying he sent me some paperwork

00:54:48 ◼   ► today is like well fill out this

00:54:50 ◼   ► application for a napa no interest car

00:54:55 ◼   ► repair loan and we'll just get right on

00:54:57 ◼   ► it you can give me fifteen hundred

00:54:58 ◼   ► dollar deposit tomorrow

00:54:59 ◼   ► he's good he's moving right and so you

00:55:03 ◼   ► can play them i'm talking to other

00:55:04 ◼   ► people on the on the black list it's

00:55:06 ◼   ► already going to be very hard for me to

00:55:08 ◼   ► go down there and here's the crazy thing

00:55:09 ◼   ► the the transmission was throwing chunks

00:55:13 ◼   ► for sure but it wasn't

00:55:16 ◼   ► I've I've run a transmission out of a

00:55:18 ◼   ► vehicle to the point where it wouldn't

00:55:21 ◼   ► go into gear and wouldn't move because

00:55:23 ◼   ► the transmission had disintegrated who

00:55:25 ◼   ► this thing never stopped running under

00:55:27 ◼   ► its own power

00:55:28 ◼   ► it was thrown smoke everywhere

00:55:30 ◼   ► but there's a part of me that's like

00:55:33 ◼   ► yeah everybody that looks at it says it

00:55:36 ◼   ► needs a new transmission it surely does

00:55:38 ◼   ► but will this transmission get it to

00:55:40 ◼   ► seattle that is it something that none

00:55:45 ◼   ► of us have addressed and if the thing

00:55:48 ◼   ► was in seattle i could i would have that

00:55:51 ◼   ► six months of you know of time to gear

00:55:57 ◼   ► up

00:55:57 ◼   ► so this is figures into your decision

00:55:59 ◼   ► making but it doesn't help with his need

00:56:02 ◼   ► to get an answer

00:56:03 ◼   ► yeah and if I say to him hey what are

00:56:06 ◼   ► the possibilities of me just making it

00:56:08 ◼   ► home limping at home he's gonna say he's

00:56:12 ◼   ► it that's gonna change our relationship

00:56:14 ◼   ► yep he he wants you to come back with

00:56:18 ◼   ► something decisive you want you to come

00:56:20 ◼   ► back with get started with work on this

00:56:21 ◼   ► and i'll pay what it costs or I'm coming

00:56:23 ◼   ► to get it tonight

00:56:24 ◼   ► right right and you know and because he

00:56:27 ◼   ► doesn't want to be you know my dad I'm a

00:56:29 ◼   ► long way away and you know he's in he's

00:56:32 ◼   ► in reading where you know the thing

00:56:35 ◼   ► about about cathedrals yeah you can get

00:56:39 ◼   ► to be a you can have a detrimental with

00:56:42 ◼   ► this is you think you have to be in a

00:56:43 ◼   ► city to have a cathedral

00:56:45 ◼   ► oh interesting that's not what i was

00:56:46 ◼   ► saying but yeah that's uh no idea that

00:56:48 ◼   ► you told me this right

00:56:50 ◼   ► I didn't think you do have to be well

00:56:52 ◼   ► you have to be a yeah township or Lord

00:56:54 ◼   ► ship or a or a sailing ship tama

00:56:57 ◼   ► cathedral ok but I know what I'm saying

00:57:00 ◼   ► about cathedrals is the reason the

00:57:01 ◼   ► cathedrals and and old architectures so

00:57:03 ◼   ► beautiful is that it was built at a time

00:57:06 ◼   ► when labor was cheap and material was

00:57:08 ◼   ► expensive oh now that's true yeah so you

00:57:11 ◼   ► have these guys and it was like well

00:57:12 ◼   ► this is this it

00:57:14 ◼   ► it took a lot to get this stone here but

00:57:16 ◼   ► it didn't take a lot to get you Italian

00:57:18 ◼   ► stone carver so I spend some time making

00:57:22 ◼   ► this stone look pretty

00:57:23 ◼   ► yeah with your little cherubims and your

00:57:26 ◼   ► car gore gargoyle limbs

00:57:29 ◼   ► mhm and and now we have the problem of

00:57:32 ◼   ► materials being cheap because they're

00:57:35 ◼   ► all made out of glue and wood shavings

00:57:38 ◼   ► right but we have made labor very

00:57:41 ◼   ► expensive so it's like oh we

00:57:44 ◼   ► got all this garbage lumber and garbage

00:57:46 ◼   ► particle board but the you know the

00:57:51 ◼   ► Carpenters are getting paid

00:57:52 ◼   ► thirty-five dollars an hour so let's

00:57:54 ◼   ► just throw this thing up as fast as we

00:57:55 ◼   ► can right well in Redding California

00:57:58 ◼   ► there's one thing I know which is that

00:58:00 ◼   ► property is cheap not super cheap it's

00:58:04 ◼   ► not like you can move to reading anymore

00:58:06 ◼   ► and just by 40 acres right in the center

00:58:08 ◼   ► of town and have a sheet problem

00:58:10 ◼   ► yeah but so this guy if this RV was

00:58:14 ◼   ► sitting at an RV place in downtown

00:58:15 ◼   ► Seattle they would be like we need every

00:58:18 ◼   ► square inch

00:58:20 ◼   ► get your damn RV out of here by tomorrow

00:58:22 ◼   ► but in reading discs i could Cisco could

00:58:25 ◼   ► stack rvs for a year right so so in a

00:58:29 ◼   ► way he is creating a false sense of

00:58:32 ◼   ► urgency because it's just like you know

00:58:34 ◼   ► what push that thing out to the back of

00:58:36 ◼   ► but the back 40 and forget it's there

00:58:38 ◼   ► yeah i mean but I'm he's been pretty

00:58:40 ◼   ► cool what you think I do think he's been

00:58:43 ◼   ► cool i do think he's been cool but yeah

00:58:45 ◼   ► I needed dad right now he's like listen

00:58:48 ◼   ► son just relax take the winter to think

00:58:51 ◼   ► about it there's no one there's no way

00:58:55 ◼   ► I'm going to be able to tow it anywhere

00:58:58 ◼   ► I can't tell it to san francisco anyone

00:58:59 ◼   ► to see us certainly thought of this but

00:59:01 ◼   ► he is there any chance you could get a

00:59:02 ◼   ► little help from the black list in the

00:59:04 ◼   ► internet to find a place where you could

00:59:06 ◼   ► store it for a couple months and it'll

00:59:08 ◼   ► just be down to getting it towed

00:59:09 ◼   ► somewhere that's not costly and with

00:59:11 ◼   ► that's him or somewhere else

00:59:13 ◼   ► you at least have a little bit of leeway

00:59:15 ◼   ► to think about this without all the

00:59:16 ◼   ► pressure

00:59:17 ◼   ► well that's a good question Merlin and

00:59:19 ◼   ► you know what I'm going to get I'm gonna

01:03:32 ◼   ► like slide outs in the style of a new RV

01:03:35 ◼   ► he gutted the interior and built it all

01:03:37 ◼   ► this is that that's his real like labor

01:04:04 ◼   ► offended right and I said this is a

01:04:07 ◼   ► classic rift in the

01:04:09 ◼   ► in the blacklist community i believe it

01:04:10 ◼   ► is and i think that most of them are

01:04:12 ◼   ► older people who want their GMC rvs to

01:04:17 ◼   ► continue to be contemporary ok which

01:04:19 ◼   ► means a lot of that weird RV upholstery

01:04:22 ◼   ► that's like big flowers or like and and

01:04:26 ◼   ► new furniture and new lighting

01:04:28 ◼   ► yeah sure and I'm like nah nah man its
