◼
►

◼
►

◼
►

◼
►

◼
►
with this home for its 48 it's 44 th 42
◼
►
let's say I'm just going to check the
◼
►
ok let's see what the internet says uh
◼
►
like 42 well first of all when you go to
◼
►
this website and search for weather in
◼
►
it gives you the address of 490 james
◼
►
street I don't know where that is 490
◼
►
dreams probably reveal too much already
◼
►
they say it downtown 3700 and overcast
◼
►
and it feels like 37 so so I'm my
◼
►
calibration is five degrees off and I'm
◼
►
gonna have to i'm just going to have to
◼
►
chalk that up to feeling like to be an
◼
►
optimist I love that about you right
◼
►
you're always looking on the bright side
◼
►
it's like sporty now it's 42 it's not 37
◼
►
you know 37 is pretty cold
◼
►
yeah it's cold you're gonna have a
◼
►
scattered scattered light rain until
◼
►
about three o'clock and then it will be
◼
►
I think that's consistent with in my
◼
►
experience doesn't say anything about
◼
►
like road rage e fat middle-aged guys
◼
►
and f2 fifties yeah it says here you can
◼
►
look for that started a little bit for
◼
►
for my it will reach its peak at about 5
◼
►
35 mm and the probably some injuries by
◼
►
seven and I got a little glimpse of this
◼
►
morning but didn't I just turned my
◼
►
windshield wipers on a way it went
◼
►
Stillson that Delia Smith song uh-huh oh
◼
►
dear well what did what are you driving
◼
►
now to to get to where you go if I could
◼
►
ask well you know I've got my god 1979
◼
►
GMC Suburban which is which
◼
►
you know I'm doubling down on on the
◼
►
vintage GMC sure family thank you but
◼
►
the GMC only has an AM radio and so if i
◼
►
want to it and it only has one speaker
◼
►
and it's in the middle of the dash
◼
►
yeah and the one speaker was I think
◼
►
sign to communicate only in beeps in
◼
►
it was it was the spinach is stuff still
◼
►
the Bible stuff is good there is a great
◼
►
station in seattle called kxi that
◼
►
always used to play big band music but
◼
►
as the big band generation has died
◼
►
now the old people are that strange
◼
►
strange generation born in the thirties
◼
►
which nobody cares about they don't have
◼
►
a name their the Lost Generation well
◼
►
that's a shame it's terrible at their
◼
►
pre baby boomers but their post greatest
◼
►
generation and they swear to you Merlin
◼
►
had the worst music of many people ever
◼
►
let's see yeah you know they're sort of
◼
►
like an early version of our generation
◼
►
the inbetweeners generation if you're
◼
►
born in the thirties you're gonna be you
◼
►
know what you're gonna be you're gonna
◼
►
be the people who screamed Frank
◼
►
Sinatra's what you're going to be that's
◼
►
exactly right von Monroe but Frank
◼
►
Sinatra's early stuff you don't know I
◼
►
mean I mean yeah I mean like now it's a
◼
►
natural one point out right when you
◼
►
offer so not yeah tell me about people
◼
►
forget about you i think a lot of people
◼
►
don't really know about Frank Sinatra
◼
►
mmm i think you're right
◼
►
well i mean i think there's two at least
◼
►
two maybe three interesting things a lot
◼
►
of people don't know about Frank Sinatra
◼
►
the first of all they don't realize that
◼
►
he was mayor rudy vallee before him but
◼
►
he was one of the original giant in like
◼
►
a national teen heartthrobs you probably
◼
►
are big pop star that's right and and
◼
►
that but basically you know as we know
◼
►
from the Godfather that he was working
◼
►
for I would say Tommy Shaw when I mean
◼
►
to say to me don't see it would be kind
◼
►
of Greater Tommy shot had a big Lear get
◼
►
a wood and Frank Sinatra was the singer
◼
►
Oh mom here with my long arm of the
◼
►
yeah but and so he's under contract damn
◼
►
he was basically he was just another guy
◼
►
working for them and then you know and
◼
►
then the dawn got him out of the
◼
►
don was with mr. Woltz put the put the
◼
►
hook for suhoor said mr. Woltz is a bed
◼
►
my goodness my goodness what a wonderful
◼
►
seen Frank Sinatra and then I had a
◼
►
funny CD of his in the eighties excuse
◼
►
yeah the late eighties which was no mr.
◼
►
you haven't yet a CD of his immediate
◼
►
she was the best piece of ass I ever had
◼
►
she yeah kind of heroin
◼
►
yeah that's a shame what happened that
◼
►
girl he ruined her listen Frank Sinatra
◼
►
haha on the box he had several
◼
►
interesting things happen one of them
◼
►
was it like at one point you know
◼
►
there's a big strike the musicians went
◼
►
on strike in the forties you know about
◼
►
well you have a big musician strike in
◼
►
the 1940s but I hate you
◼
►
god dammit the musicians went on strike
◼
►
and so they're debating like what are we
◼
►
gonna do we cannot record and so there's
◼
►
this reference columbia there's this
◼
►
really weird series of songs he did
◼
►
that's just him one recorded because
◼
►
that is a hatter room for three hours
◼
►
one take one and done but yeah and so he
◼
►
had a record recordings of him with
◼
►
basically just acapella background
◼
►
singing my super interesting and then
◼
►
what people don't realize is he was a
◼
►
he was and so that's that can it always
◼
►
comes back all roads lead back to the
◼
►
Godfather because because the story
◼
►
apparently was true that like if he
◼
►
needed that role he needed a humanistic
◼
►
Golden Arm well before that though it
◼
►
was from here to eternity
◼
►
I think that's the movie they're
◼
►
referencing as a romantic lay in the
◼
►
godfather and so what was she like his
◼
►
career was on the skids and he was what
◼
►
he was maybe his thirties and then he
◼
►
went to jail for a they arrested him
◼
►
you are so excited to tell the story of
◼
►
Frank Sinatra's American icon is a
◼
►
horrible human being and and recording
◼
►
something her public radio he's the
◼
►
reason his family his estate is the
◼
►
reason why we get all this
◼
►
what why there's more careful control of
◼
►
the IP on dead people bitching about
◼
►
that you put your body on my mind here
◼
►
with the tendrils of the Frank Sinatra
◼
►
stina Sinatra since his death circa
◼
►
nineteen ninety has run his empire and
◼
►
basically what they're running into was
◼
►
that Frank Sinatra's was was like being
◼
►
put on everything they said this has to
◼
►
stop long story short you can send
◼
►
planet money on this very good program
◼
►
and they basically came up with this new
◼
►
new kind of law that said that you know
◼
►
that that's why the Elvis family you
◼
►
know the other's family puts is a put
◼
►
his face on everything now but their
◼
►
money they control that
◼
►
sure where's the James Dean family and
◼
►
Marilyn Monroe family so they end up on
◼
►
unlike cocaine mirrors all across
◼
►
America and all those in a red jacket
◼
►
point all those all those pictures that
◼
►
i see i I'm astonished at least have
◼
►
such a such a tremendous life in a very
◼
►
life but those pictures of like Marilyn
◼
►
Monroe James Dean bob marley john lennon
◼
►
and roy orbison or something all playing
◼
►
pool you know it's not like it's like
◼
►
dogs playing poker yeah called the
◼
►
legends well sure you know if it has
◼
►
been got heaven must be held a man that
◼
►
kind of thing yeah Jimi Hendrix's in
◼
►
there sometimes you know it's like so
◼
►
weird to me when people do that
◼
►
yeah and you see them you see these like
◼
►
it's not really a poster I'm used to
◼
►
seeing it as an illuminated mirror in a
◼
►
certain kinds of the kind of painting in
◼
►
yeah yeah it's a painting right it's
◼
►
like it's like if somebody I think what
◼
►
happened is somebody noticed that the
◼
►
Traveling Wilburys had happened and they
◼
►
were like what if what if we had the
◼
►
ultimate traveling wilburys it's like
◼
►
musical fan thick musical fanfic that's
◼
►
exactly right but I mean value that
◼
►
bandwidth sound awful horrible because I
◼
►
wouldn't with James Dean do play the
◼
►
what are you up there for he would be in
◼
►
the davy jones part he would be the one
◼
►
with maybe like six maracas or five
◼
►
tambourines member david jones always
◼
►
had way too many percussion instruments
◼
►
that were a lot of tambourines well and
◼
►
everything is I always wanted him to
◼
►
where Ricky Ricardo shirt how man Ricky
◼
►
Ricardo was a talented guy
◼
►
I you know I miss all these heroes the
◼
►
thing about the 1930s i was watching
◼
►
band with Ricky Ricardo and James Dean
◼
►
and and maybe I'm really works and broke
◼
►
be playing groans I don't like the
◼
►
honeycombs will be totally cool
◼
►
Frank's another right to take it is
◼
►
he was the most was that he's the only
◼
►
one of those guys will remember but
◼
►
there which one there were dozens of
◼
►
crooners oh sure it'll get the critters
◼
►
and they were making music they were
◼
►
making this treacly terrible music you
◼
►
got Chuck hatman you've got Michael
◼
►
Michael microphone you got to Bobby Byrd
◼
►
bobby socks bobby socks for do they call
◼
►
bobby socks for sure i love you i said
◼
►
12 times we had to change it Bobby to
◼
►
bobby socks ready you know because of
◼
►
recent changes to Bobby suck UK but I
◼
►
but so that is the music that I can hear
◼
►
in my truck so as per usual I'd
◼
►
generally leave the radio off when I'm
◼
►
traveling in the truck
◼
►
yeah you know that's to me that's a
◼
►
little bit like reggae I can take a
◼
►
little bit of that thing a little bit of
◼
►
that and there are some kinds of things
◼
►
there's a show i like a lot of uh on
◼
►
public radio called fascinating rhythm
◼
►
and it's this guy who goes in and does
◼
►
like it's basically music of the early
◼
►
to mid-twentieth century there's
◼
►
something traumatic and he'll play stuff
◼
►
like you know Bill Murray the original
◼
►
memory like the old Irish crooner who
◼
►
play these old songs from likes like
◼
►
like cylinders and 78 and stuff like
◼
►
that i enjoy that I went I enjoy that
◼
►
but like like reggae a little bit goes a
◼
►
sure William William Murray was my
◼
►
father are bilmar touch dr. Murray like
◼
►
yeah so yeah story tears in his eyes I
◼
►
guess that was what was so amazing about
◼
►
Nelson Riddle right we think of nelson
◼
►
riddle is being kind of corny now but at
◼
►
the time those Nelson Riddle
◼
►
arrangements were like sweeping the
◼
►
slate clean of all these dumb violin or
◼
►
dislike lame-ass a soft music yeah well
◼
►
he's a tree actually I mean I'm not a
◼
►
scholar of this era but uh so right now
◼
►
get on there let's fall in love by Dan
◼
►
diana krall is playing on kxi right now
◼
►
miss you know 5654 afternoon drive is
◼
►
so what's crazy is that that John cash
◼
►
has become a major major figure in the
◼
►
he has a radio program it's it's the
◼
►
very first banner on the page it's him
◼
►
superimposed very poorly in Photoshop
◼
►
over the city of seattle looking like
◼
►
you sleeping it off a little bit yeah
◼
►
and it's one of those syndicated
◼
►
programs where he comes on and he's he's
◼
►
a friendly guy he's got a voice that's
◼
►
that makes you trust him right away
◼
►
sure and he's like hey these are this
◼
►
you know these are the sweet sounds of
◼
►
your of our youth or something this is
◼
►
that this was the sound of our lives
◼
►
yeah heading and how the hell is our
◼
►
jaunt ashes like 50 right i mean he's
◼
►
not a member of this lost generation or
◼
►
but he's really selling them
◼
►
usually selling his 63 from Garden City
◼
►
New York was married he was married to
◼
►
Connie sellecca nothing wrong with that
◼
►
you know I was a little bit late getting
◼
►
in here and it seems like you've had an
◼
►
extra cup of coffee or something because
◼
►
you are you are checking the internet
◼
►
with some alacrity sorry I'm so sorry
◼
►
no no it's fantastic it's 144 any james
◼
►
street is the Metropolitan management
◼
►
company just so you know right yeah
◼
►
that's not that's when you ask for
◼
►
weather in seattle they tell you about
◼
►
the Metropolitan management oh they got
◼
►
one star on yelp just say no well I I
◼
►
feel like I feel like what you what you
◼
►
expect is that they are gonna give you
◼
►
the the temperature at the airport
◼
►
that's what they usually do yeah
◼
►
but-but-but 490 James I wonder how much
◼
►
they paid to be the weather source
◼
►
oh you think that's a placement yeah I
◼
►
feel like that sort of like costco field
◼
►
ok I search for SCA and it gives the
◼
►
search engine optimization back with the
◼
►
fucking my bell rings my bell
◼
►
where am I don't know where's my bell
◼
►
holy shit my business is still my bell
◼
►
oao time back here then right mine's not
◼
►
hiding minus full-on missing search
◼
►
engine optimization yeah haha at the
◼
►
seattle airport at 1773 international
◼
►
boulevard is 36 degrees but it feels
◼
►
wow that's probably that accounts for
◼
►
that is accounted for by the by the wind
◼
►
that they get up there they are again a
◼
►
little bit of light rain 10 minutes that
◼
►
will end in about 15 minutes
◼
►
did you know that a fighter plane taking
◼
►
off from the deck of an aircraft as a
◼
►
word problem John ok a fighter plane
◼
►
takes off from an aircraft carrier okay
◼
►
30 knots and a train leaves minneapolis
◼
►
headed the other way and it's going well
◼
►
it's going 11 not some had two units the
◼
►
miles on my head what
◼
►
at what point does the fighter plane
◼
►
overfly the railroad train if you have
◼
►
no idea where the fighter five-thirty
◼
►
p.m. at 490 james street
◼
►
Wow yep you have some mad skills is
◼
►
I learned the common core system but I
◼
►
feel like that was an imaginary number
◼
►
solve for x so we got music Frank
◼
►
Sinatra yeah whatever hands that that
◼
►
that what I didn't realize is that a
◼
►
fighter plane needs to be a means to
◼
►
have a 30-knot headwind in order to
◼
►
successfully take off from an aircraft
◼
►
carrier but not coincidentally 30
◼
►
minutes is the speed that an aircraft
◼
►
carrier can can reach when it's really
◼
►
gonna die soon as engineers are smart
◼
►
see isn't that nice going on so they
◼
►
just even if there's no wind at all they
◼
►
can get 30 not headwind bye-bye kicking
◼
►
it into high gear and understand this 30
◼
►
knots is 34.5 two three four miles per
◼
►
hour but why do you need too many
◼
►
different things so close it's so close
◼
►
well it's not now and not is based on
◼
►
these to put actual knots in ropes and
◼
►
that's how they would make sure how far
◼
►
apart it was yes as long as two knots on
◼
►
the Kings rope they'd spit out the back
◼
►
uh-huh maybe like what we're traveling
◼
►
how many fathoms in a knot who these are
◼
►
these are things I yeah there's there's
◼
►
a very small part of me that feels like
◼
►
I should have this information but a
◼
►
much larger part that is glad that i
◼
►
don't i'm glad that i don't have this
◼
►
clogging up my brain pipes and that
◼
►
indeed how many knots are in a league
◼
►
they found a fathom is six feet now
◼
►
story is 10 feet i would call when I say
◼
►
I think of that as being 10 stories yeah
◼
►
i think it's about 10 feet
◼
►
yes actually 10 stores ok alright feat
◼
►
speed two-story so if it's like 800 feet
◼
►
that's like an 80 story building what
◼
►
that's crazy there are nearly 80 story
◼
►
building there's probably some kind of
◼
►
us the key action at a distance thing
◼
►
like when it gets further up it
◼
►
compresses like a forced perspective I
◼
►
yeah I don't know do you think that you
◼
►
think that that skyscraper builders are
◼
►
still using Greek like perspective in
◼
►
their constructions great person a great
◼
►
perspective perspective that sounds like
◼
►
a shell on c-span that not many people
◼
►
watch a great perspective would be a
◼
►
great show i'm actually thinking about
◼
►
starting a show a new show him to to
◼
►
really flesh out my my nascent empire of
◼
►
podcasts oh that's a great idea a new
◼
►
ok a new show that talks about the Greek
◼
►
perspective the so will a lot of
◼
►
directions with that will have guests
◼
►
can have spanakopita and all we all.we
◼
►
that the only thing that needs to tie
◼
►
the episodes together is what's the
◼
►
Greek perspective it's just it just has
◼
►
to be something Greek about it
◼
►
somebody talks about something nobody
◼
►
talks about you know whatever it is
◼
►
pressing suits or or repointing a brick
◼
►
yeah and that's like what's the Greek
◼
►
perspective on this right because
◼
►
they've been around for a pretty long
◼
►
time they had a lot of time to look at
◼
►
things so they would have a perspective
◼
►
on a lot of things we could look at the
◼
►
old Greek perspective we could look at
◼
►
the new Greek playing classical Greek a
◼
►
modern contemporary Greek sort of that
◼
►
middle period Griffin huge now you can
◼
►
do that show with Diana you can do that
◼
►
with something on your own you think I
◼
►
feel like you know I've got a podcast
◼
►
with you that i'm very happy with and I
◼
►
got a podcast with damn I've got also
◼
►
happy with and now I feel like that we
◼
►
need some new blood in here is your
◼
►
chance to do bring in sometimes our user
◼
►
touches her case it could be on the
◼
►
well I wonder you know cirque use' right
◼
►
well he's mine yours is almost Greek
◼
►
yeah i mean that's the italian is kinda
◼
►
between Jewish Greek it's a little bit
◼
►
in between that's interesting between
◼
►
Jewish and Greek sort of Italian that
◼
►
would be another show you have a whole
◼
►
empire here you could be like you could
◼
►
be like Jesse throwing just need to get
◼
►
yeah bye-bye to show called between
◼
►
Jewish and Greek that's said it by it
◼
►
listen if I were gonna have a 3some
◼
►
that's where I want to be
◼
►
oh dear uh oh my goodness i don't like
◼
►
talking about sex not well you know
◼
►
there's so many things i don't like
◼
►
talking about um it's been awhile you
◼
►
know i'm still haven't been able to get
◼
►
I haven't been able to arrange a time
◼
►
yeah to have a podcast with dan in the
◼
►
last couple of weeks actually tricky
◼
►
sometimes it's really tricky and spread
◼
►
it's been cool frustrating a nice to
◼
►
have these boxes keep stacking up I've
◼
►
got a lot of and that's the whole point
◼
►
that's the MacGuffin that's a great
◼
►
perspective is that you you can't open
◼
►
those until you're on his program i feel
◼
►
but I don't feel that way I feel like
◼
►
I've gotta get gotta get this kind of
◼
►
start working through this mail but I
◼
►
look here's the thing i have i have i
◼
►
have three things we have talked about
◼
►
today we've already talked about Frank
◼
►
Sinatra so that's settled

◼
►
line show in capital over yells at
◼
►
I'll remember that really loud that room
◼
►
was ok yes don't yell at them and tell
◼
►
them on it was very distracting member
◼
►
we fed we've had mixed success with live
◼
►
alright the first one ever when we were
◼
►
in the when we were in the terrarium
◼
►
whereby stuff tape loser maybe just
◼
►
maybe as a dick i'm not sure we're by
◼
►
some kind of a stuffed animal
◼
►
yeah and then that people were having a
◼
►
party drinks in the back of the room and
◼
►
shuck and jive and playing grab-ass
◼
►
that's right we had a very attentive
◼
►
audience sitting in chairs and then in
◼
►
the back it was like a meet-and-greet
◼
►
for some software ding-a-lings ya like
◼
►
hey you guys shut up back there
◼
►
yeah and then the whole room erupted and
◼
►
they were not they were not that
◼
►
receptive to your message
◼
►
well those guys weren't but you know
◼
►
they're great they're not listening to
◼
►
anybody right there young geniuses
◼
►
hmm there's not that many venues in san
◼
►
francisco where you can perform in a
◼
►
room with like penguins
◼
►
so that's a nice thing about that room
◼
►
people are there to see the Penguins
◼
►
let's be honest I feel like we could
◼
►
maybe we could be the ones that change
◼
►
yeah like penguins live penguins in
◼
►
every venue in San Francisco creek
◼
►

◼
►
couple of bands up in the swedish
◼
►
american portion including putting like
◼
►
an acoustic spoon so smooth i would love
◼
►
that split up there playing acoustic it
◼
►
was it was it was great i look at your
◼
►
man named jason brown skirt is he seems
◼
►
like a nice guy he's a very good driver
◼
►
he's a very good drummer and a very very
◼
►
nice guy i think these are generations
◼
►
Ringo I'm gonna say nice guy and spoon
◼
►
nice all that doesn't seem too hard
◼
►
right at the end of the other guy right
◼
►
a lo where's the super ghetto soup so
◼
►
yes I'm very excited about it because
◼
►
last year at the the second sketch
◼
►
sketch fest we did I had a wonderful
◼
►
wonderful time at that show i was really
◼
►
nice to give me a bourbon and and I
◼
►
remember when we met that lady who
◼
►
wanted to meet you and we took her away
◼
►
from her husband brought upstairs wasn't
◼
►
that wonderful so much worse than it was
◼
►
that really sounded terrible when you
◼
►
no but it was a it was a wonderful time
◼
►
we had a nice chat we had a nice chat
◼
►
look at the photo here on the page you
◼
►
can see us holding microphones and there
◼
►
was Green a very dynamic is very Italian
◼
►
was very Italian the one thing I regret
◼
►
from that show is that some one made a
◼
►
whole stack of here we go
◼
►
five-card I'll porch on you think about
◼
►
stuff if you remember stuff you did
◼
►
yeah well she's so she made this whole
◼
►
stack of these things that are the eye
◼
►
from what i can tell all had each three
◼
►
by five card had a reference to
◼
►
something from the program or or you
◼
►
know like so an extrapolation from from
◼
►
that and she had placed them carefully
◼
►
at the front of the stage
◼
►
I think she got other people to fill
◼
►
them out to I think that's true
◼
►
crowd-sourced it they were in different
◼
►
handwriting and she intended it as as a
◼
►
nice gift or maybe you know something
◼
►
that we would either treasure or
◼
►
utilize and I walked on the stage and I
◼
►
saw this thing and I recognized it as
◼
►
some kind of some sort of offering but i
◼
►
assumed immediately that it was an
◼
►
attempt to usurp what we were gonna do
◼
►
yeah bye-bye you know by a UH asserting
◼
►
some sort of fan ownership over over us
◼
►
or the show and so I actually naturally
◼
►
just saying that so I kicked the pile of
◼
►
cards into the audience and it was a
◼
►
purpose or Die kick it or did I pick it
◼
►
I think you flung it is part of you we
◼
►
describe this we talk about this in an
◼
►
episode you like to come out on the
◼
►
stage you complain about things you move
◼
►
chairs around you you berate staff
◼
►
because that's part of your as part of
◼
►
yeah I come out I say the lights are
◼
►
terrible and what these aren't where the
◼
►
chairs belong and you know move around
◼
►
and I'm like what the hell is this stack
◼
►
of cards i picked it up I guess in my
◼
►
throat and warming yeah you're that room
◼
►
yeah but then later I but later I saw
◼
►
the young woman picking up the cards God
◼
►
the kind of broken-hearted look on her
◼
►
face I was so I felt like I was such a
◼
►
villain would you recognize her if you
◼
►
mm I because i think i might I mean
◼
►
maybe if her face wasn't so pained the
◼
►
next time I saw her that maybe I
◼
►
well I think it's very unlikely that she
◼
►
will come to the show this year but if
◼
►
she were to come to the SF sketchfest
◼
►
performance of rock on the line and
◼
►
SwedishAmerican hall friday january
◼
►
eight from 730-9 p.m. in san francisco
◼
►
california now in central California
◼
►

◼
►
that's accessible by muni pretty safe
◼
►
it's near safeway and I don't see now if
◼
►
we know her name we can put on the list
◼
►
right see better feel of you can just
◼
►
say look for a lady with the pain look
◼
►
on her face is that most of our fans
◼
►
well I'm the thing is now that you've
◼
►
said that there were going to get like
◼
►
11 people that's like I'm lady will have
◼
►
them fight while the fight shirtless
◼
►
with sticks that neighborhood didn't
◼
►
used to be good that gas station on the
◼
►
yeah look yeah there's some pretty you
◼
►
get a lot of people that's a very
◼
►
interesting area cause it's kind of it's
◼
►
on the edge of the castro and kind of
◼
►
kind of get near duboce triangle a
◼
►
little bit it'sit's but yeah it's it's
◼
►
changed a lot they get the
◼
►
walgreens is way nicer now you know i
◼
►
love that you decide the quality of an
◼
►
area by how nice the walgreens don't
◼
►
decide anything I'm an observer alright
◼
►
okay that's right here's what I'm going
◼
►
to say though we have worked as I had
◼
►
time but first of all anybody who hasn't
◼
►
come please come please sell the place
◼
►
out otherwise you won't be as funny but
◼
►
if that lady does come there and
◼
►
approaches us uh I don't see that you
◼
►
apologize i will apologize to her and
◼
►
we'll try to do something nice for her
◼
►
yeah it will be very hard for me to
◼
►
apologize of course is it that's not
◼
►
part of my brand but you can do it it's
◼
►
a big city apology but listen I'm all
◼
►
I'm sorry you're upset I'm already
◼
►
talked about on two programs which is my
◼
►
way I mean that's worth like a well shit
◼
►
I mean you apologized via sleepless
◼
►
nights I say I think that's probably
◼
►
worth 4 grand 4 grand worth of dollars

►

it's gonna be you you know you pile on
◼

so much and I i give you the Grateful
◼
►
Dead idea i say nothing
◼
►
you sit there on the internet and you
◼
►
say terrible things about bands and then
◼
►
I don't say anything I know and silent i
◼
►
just favorite AC news tweets and I said
◼
►
I know the thing is a lot of people
◼
►
think that I'm trolling when I go online
◼
►
and I say there's nothing good about the
◼
►
Smith you but I i am trolling first of
◼
►
all but yeah I and I'm trolling just
◼
►
with the biggest like most delighted
◼
►
smile on my face yeah but i but I know
◼
►
but it's also one hundred percent John
◼
►
doesn't know what he's talking about
◼
►
John doesn't know la la
◼
►
the thing about Morrissey is he only
◼
►
ever learned five notes
◼
►
mm and he utilized them in every melody
◼
►
of everything turns out your dick that
◼
►
but it's kind of true no no kind of any
◼
►
number of nodes allah i don't know every
◼
►
time you go after the smiths I imagine
◼
►
you are secretly are not secretly just
◼
►
trying to needle Shawn Nelson well colin
◼
►
Meloy to really course the barest miss
◼
►
yeah because that Colin also you know a
◼
►
lot of his melodies are within a range
◼
►
of a pretty narrow range but he Colin's
◼
►
melodies I like i think is the key is
◼
►
extruded violin columnar
◼
►
yeah I'm trying to I'm trying to pull
◼
►
I'm trying to pull the pigtails of a lot
◼
►
of how haha it and and i got i roped
◼
►
roped AC newman in and he was he was
◼
►
yeah hello he's changing his water
◼
►
filters but i don't but i do feel i do
◼
►
fit the thing is my sister listen to
◼
►
Duran Duran and the smiths compulsively
◼
►
during that era is you're obligated to
◼
►
well no but here's the thing i heard
◼
►
that music through the wall in equal
◼
►
portions probably a little bit more and
◼
►
ram but Sharon sometimes Smith that's
◼
►
well I mean it because if she's in
◼
►
Durand Durand but I wasn't later than
◼
►
1986 are always very early with so using
◼
►
this miss when they were still kind of
◼
►
your hope for sure because she was one
◼
►
of those platoons one of those almost
◼
►
famous type of children who was working
◼
►
at the coolest record store in Anchorage
◼
►
when she was like 13 man and she had
◼
►
just she waltzed in there and with that
◼
►
with that confidence that she has and
◼
►
she was like I'm working here now and
◼
►
the rest of the staff who were all in
◼
►
their twenties adopted her and suddenly
◼
►
she gone from this girl that was playing
◼
►
soccer in knee-high stripy socks to
◼
►
being somebody who had platinum hair
◼
►
with the and was wearing vintage thrift
◼
►
store dresses and working on the coolest
◼
►
record store in town I was like who the
◼
►
hell is she said I did you ever see any
◼
►
of your sister and your daughter I i
◼
►
feel like i see they got a lot of moxie
◼
►
but the other do they have a totally the
◼
►
somewhat similar kinds of moxie a ton of
◼
►
moxie and one of the things that very
◼
►
much surprises me when when when my kid
◼
►
was born I was like my sister is going
◼
►
to try and corrupt her constantly she's
◼
►
going to be over here to teaching her
◼
►
hip hop terminology and encouraging her
◼
►
to like become a skater and what it
◼
►
turned out is my sister is one of the
◼
►
one with the chief disciplinarians in my
◼
►
daughter's life she just my sister just
◼
►
Brooks no monkey business
◼
►
Wow and and so they have all these sort
◼
►
of you know they have a close
◼
►
relationship and they have all these
◼
►
attacks where where Susan is like listen
◼
►
you can't do that you can't get away
◼
►
with that here that's so great
◼
►
you sit up straight in your chair this
◼
►
type of thing and she listened
◼
►
om solutely because it's coming from
◼
►
Susan which is like you know she's she's
◼
►
just enough outside outside the the core
◼
►
machine that she can have she has the
◼
►
greater impact but you know I always had
◼
►
this fear that that Susan would be there
◼
►
like you know skater boys are the cutest
◼
►
you never know just seating just just
◼
►
sowing the seed of just I was your
◼
►
turkey wish i could collaborate more
◼
►
with the people who are slightly outside
◼
►
the core because they have the hugest
◼
►
impact you my brother-in-law and
◼
►
sister-in-law you know like my daughter
◼
►
adores them and and and like they're so
◼
►
influential in her village my daughter
◼
►
my daughter who only eats a couple
◼
►
things at home will try almost anything
◼
►
if auntie susie makes it soon and then
◼
►
like an a no and then she gets to watch
◼
►
100 movies with the f-word and stuff and
◼
►
like she gets to be growing up there and
◼
►
you know it's like I wish i wish i could
◼
►
see them certain ideas like hey would it
◼
►
be great if we brush our teeth without
◼
►
you know without be cool hey thumbs-up
◼
►
hey guys we put your retainers and
◼
►
that's awesome radical shaka-brah and
◼
►
shaka-brah yeah I didn't reach bra if i
◼
►
lived in san francisco i would be one of
◼
►
the people slightly outside of your core
◼
►
that had an enormous influence on your
◼
►
oh man but unfortunately i live far
◼
►
enough away that every time I come it's
◼
►
like Uncle John is here
◼
►
Oh like hide all the breakable things oh
◼
►
no well she left she loved the RV she
◼
►
thought it smelled kind of funny
◼
►
well I which she thinks everything
◼
►
smells funny but i noticed that i didn't
◼
►
notice that she's not a small thing but
◼
►
she really liked that she really wants
◼
►
all you can say we're getting a cat
◼
►
what yeah we should not talk about that
◼
►
at some point we're adopting a cat
◼
►
well so the reason the RV smells funny
◼
►
is that i routed the exhaust through the
◼
►
cabin her for performance issues yeah
◼
►
just that's right it just seemed like a
◼
►
shell pipe was superfluous to my needs
◼
►
and I got open carry laws you know you
◼
►
have all kinds should have an open
◼
►
beverage you know and you get a little

►
bit of a little bit of the exhaust in
◼
►
there and comes down calms you down
◼
►
Shh you're not gonna make it over the
◼
►
alright you're getting a cat yeah that
◼
►
seems uh I don't know I've never seen
◼
►
you to have a pet that's you know that's
◼
►
I i think in life well in life it's
◼
►
important to look at patterns of what
◼
►
people show interest in before you try
◼
►
to push them into things
◼
►
this is why I've never been a huge fan
◼
►
nothing against the Girl Scouts accepts
◼
►
an organization i love like we kind of
◼
►
pushed her into Girl Scouts without
◼
►
ain't she never had any interest in any
◼
►
girl scout things and she's so 100 a
◼
►
little bit against the Girl Scouts yeah
◼
►
you said nothing against the girl of
◼
►
course i did that's what you did the
◼
►
internet little bit of god there's no
◼
►
obstacle course to the worst
◼
►
oh my god it's the worst are you get a
◼
►
pass for selling cookies that's pretty
◼
►
weird but in this case she really really
◼
►
really has wanted a pet
◼
►
yeah and I i have been pretty adamant
◼
►
about this that you know this is not a
◼
►
toy like all the toys that you open and
◼
►
play with for a minute and put away
◼
►
because you know the phone is opening
◼
►
not actually caring for enjoying
◼
►
collecting yeah that ain't gonna work
◼
►
with an animal you know setting aside
◼
►
you know all of the money that it takes
◼
►
to have a pet that I don't matter how
◼
►
many ppl account for until it's too late
◼
►
you're expected to have surgeries for
◼
►
your animals nowadays yeah you know
◼
►
about this right now you spend sixty
◼
►
thousand dollars keeping some dumb
◼
►
14-year old cat alive
◼
►
it's like you know what right i made
◼
►
into the Soylent Green Machine we won't
◼
►
I couldn't agree more it's like another
◼
►
certain kinds of things I don't need and
◼
►
one of them is a catalyst for a very
◼
►
the cabinet's blind and smells bad and
◼
►
it didn't bones and it's like I had
◼
►
friends who love their pets so much a
◼
►
friend who had this incredibly senile
◼
►
angry blind deaf incontinent dog and
◼
►
this dog would just walk around the
◼
►
house periodically barking at nothing
◼
►
bump into something and shit yeah blood
◼
►
the market it's not just go half
◼
►
I dated a girl who decided
◼
►
in her infinite wisdom that the
◼
►
additional dog that she needed in a disk
◼
►
in addition to her shih tzu was a great
◼
►
dane 02 see that that's like buying a
◼
►
bunny an Easter like to know what you're
◼
►
in for the Great Dane so she bought she
◼
►
gots not a beginner dog she rescued a
◼
►
Great Dane who was i think already nine
◼
►
which is already two years older than
◼
►
any great dane should live and she and
◼
►
I mean it just a delightful creature one
◼
►
of what a God shined upon this dog i
◼
►
really liked the dog but she let the
◼
►
dogs sleep in her bed I had the dog wage
◼
►
400 pounds it was the size of a horse
◼
►
know they are there and I I every great
◼
►
day and I have met personally was great
◼
►
and call but I mean my sense is that I
◼
►
mean obviously is true for things like
◼
►
police dogs or shooting guard dogs but
◼
►
there are certain kinds of dogs that a
◼
►
lot of people think oh you know I like
◼
►
that dog from Frasier but like if you
◼
►
get one of those one of those little
◼
►
Jack Russell terriers
◼
►
look man they are there there's pugs pug
◼
►
super sweet but they want all the
◼
►
attention all the time or an australian
◼
►
shepherd I mean you they will be heard
◼
►
the only reason to have an australian
◼
►
shepherd is if you have a sheet problem
◼
►
or like a like a border collie like they
◼
►
will hurt your coffee table they can't
◼
►
yeah I do personally have a sheep
◼
►
problem always breaking an infestation
◼
►

◼
►
here's the thing about that great thing
◼
►
is that she she left the Great Dane
◼
►
sleep in her bed and then the great
◼
►
things started to shift the bed oh god
◼
►
now but she's already made it ok to be
◼
►
that's right so she's cleaning up great
◼
►
dane shit what which I mean I don't know
◼
►
if you've ever seen a Great Dane take a
◼
►
shit copious but it yeah it's like it's
◼
►
like shitting out a printing press later
◼
►
it's like a 3d printer for fix yeah Wow
◼
►
and angel maker just like oh you know
◼
►
and she spent the whole day cleaning it
◼
►
up and then and then climb in bed with
◼
►
her night and it would all happen again
◼
►
and I was just like what dingaling he
◼
►
sleep in there doesn't he know doesn't
◼
►
he know from pooping and bad think that
◼
►
he's just so old that he doesn't know he
◼
►
just does its not under his power and I
◼
►
was like us in this this great dane
◼
►
could feed a family of four from month
◼
►
just send him to the hamburger machine
◼
►
and she was just like you
◼
►
there's a reason you're not my boyfriend
◼
►
anymore you are a monster here okay so
◼
►
here's here's a life hack
◼
►
yeah are you ready yeah I'm ready I mean
◼
►
I know that you are generally receptive
◼
►
to my life hacks but this is a major
◼
►
ones I love life hacks i went to a
◼
►
christmas party that's thrown by my good
◼
►
friend Cal and last year at the
◼
►
Christmas party he had a camel and a
◼
►
and the kids all get camel rides always
◼
►
yeah and or drunk it's not a classic
◼
►
donkey show not a classic no it's not
◼
►
it's not a tijuana donkey show
◼
►
it's a happy donkey show and the kids
◼
►
all wait they line up the guy that owns
◼
►
the camels and donkeys a great kind of a
◼
►
rancher type guy and all the kids ride
◼
►
the the donkey and the camera while the
◼
►
adults get drunk and eat chili itself
◼
►
and its energy creates a Christmas Eve
◼
►
party that he has every year and it's a
◼
►
fantastic something for everybody
◼
►
yeah that's right get drunk eat chili
◼
►
and forget about the kids because they
◼
►
are all patiently waiting in line to
◼
►
ride a camel even the terrible kids are
◼
►
willing to wait in line to ride a camel
◼
►
but in the in the intervening year the
◼
►
camel died and so everybody's going to
◼
►
Calais christmas party expected i picked
◼
►
there are not a lot of camels available
◼
►
you can't just go just go replace a
◼
►
camel I don't think you go to pets
◼
►
petsmart Campbell so the so the camera
◼
►
is not going to be there and we're all
◼
►
like what's going to happen I mean the
◼
►
donkey is great he's a super nice donkey
◼
►
but that's going to put it going to put
◼
►
extra pressure on the donkey spray and
◼
►
and also you know the goal of the of the
◼
►
passes to distract the kids so the
◼
►
adults can get drunk and chili yeah so
◼
►
the rancher shows up this year he's got
◼
►
the donkey he also brought to Wallabies
◼
►
and a kv what is that
◼
►
well so this is the life hacks ok v is a
◼
►
giant a guinea pig I katie is a giant
◼
►
guinea pig that looks like you cross the
◼
►
guinea pig with the deer home so it's
◼
►
see avy huh so so I get there and I'm
◼
►
like oh my god it looks like a jack
◼
►
rabbit guinea pig wallaby
◼
►
yeah that's right so I'm better at is
◼
►
really cute and weird with the Wallabies
◼
►
at first because you know they're cute
◼
►
to mail a letter recognizable and I'm
◼
►
looking over at this kv which is big
◼
►
it's the size of a dog
◼
►
but it's a guinea pig dear jack rabbit
◼
►
I'm like that's it what does that little
◼
►
creature so so I the Wallabies are kind
◼
►
of you know skittish and you can pet him
◼
►
for a little bit but they then they do
◼
►
that weird little hop walk that
◼
►
kangaroos and wallabies do they kind of
◼
►
mallorca from there somewhere else and
◼
►
so I go and I start and nobody's paying
◼
►
any attention to the KP like the kids
◼
►
are all thinking about the Wallabies but
◼
►
i'm looking at this guy and he's in the
◼
►
photos they look kind of anxious
◼
►
well they do they look a little poised
◼
►
right poised to to flee that they
◼
►
definitely look like prey
◼
►
yeah but this guy was in was incredibly
◼
►
chill like so chill and so I'm i start
◼
►
petting him and he responds very well to
◼
►
being petted and we just get this
◼
►
symbiosis going so that I step into the
◼
►
enclosure and then I'm like don't ever
◼
►
take this kv away from me this all kb is
◼
►
a very good friend so I go over to the
◼
►
eventually when when the KP is like
◼
►
communicating to me like let's take a
◼
►
I get out of there and I go over and
◼
►
talk to the ranch again I'm like what's
◼
►
up with this kv and he's like oh my god
◼
►
we bottle-fed that one and it lives in
◼
►
the house that's crazy lives in the
◼
►
house he's like that's like a cuddly a
◼
►
little pal I'm he said don't put them
◼
►
outside because they can dig out of
◼
►
anything you could they can dig 14 feet
◼
►
down go under offense
◼
►
wow they can dig under a pipeline of
◼
►
foragers right there you know
◼
►
vegetarians anyway and i was like so I
◼
►
set so i said so you're telling me that
◼
►
I kb you can get a kayvyun you can keep
◼
►
it as a pet he's like oh yeah they're
◼
►
like they're like hoppy cats
◼
►
it's a cap that hops and I said that's
◼
►
the pet for me Katy a short tail is a
◼
►
new project short-tailed rough haired
◼
►
oh yeah I'm taking this medication still
◼
►
and I don't think I've made a bad
◼
►
decision sense and I feel like kv a kb a
◼
►
pet kv yeah is a way to get into the pet
◼
►
but without all the cat you know cat is
◼
►
just gonna think about it now that I say
◼
►
yeah for you heard about a kb you said
◼
►
the word cat we both like okay sure but
◼
►
now post kb the Patagonian mara it's
◼
►
also known as its accents you got in
◼
►
South America and it is really freaky
◼
►
but cool lookin it's very cool and
◼
►
they're very very soft soft kv little
◼
►
soft kb that wants to kind of curl up
◼
►
with you on the couch on and they're
◼
►
monogamous that's nice
◼
►
oh that's right they mate for life like
◼
►
swans like swans it's like basically the
◼
►
whoo-hoo and it's the force looks like a
◼
►
different animal from every angle
◼
►
yeah that's the fourth largest rodent in
◼
►
the world now that makes me happy bear
◼
►
is that Rodin capybaras also sort of a a
◼
►
rodent Habanera i'm not sure if a
◼
►
capybara would be a good pet though now
◼
►
I've seen this is the zoo and man they
◼
►
are pretty freaky looking at look at
◼
►
that looks prehistoric but a kv now
◼
►
what's involved in kv ownership even
◼
►
look at me look at this has gotten onto
◼
►
the usenet online forums to find out
◼
►
no you know that's not my tendency know
◼
►
my tendency is just to go get a case
◼
►
write a check brake is set and then and
◼
►
then once i have a KPI will learn i will
◼
►
learn the hard way for myself all the
◼
►
all the things I mean if he can he wants
◼
►
to dig under a pipeline to escape
◼
►
I wonder how they are with your
◼
►
the captain's very gonna try on maybe
◼
►
you should just rent one for a week and
◼
►
that's a good idea the thing is i pad
◼
►
just like your daughter part of the
◼
►
thrillers unwrapping the baby kv yes
◼
►
your bottle feeding them until they bond
◼
►
with you and feel like I don't want to
◼
►
dig out of here I want to dig you
◼
►
I think you're getting this loser kid at
◼
►
that party that you get to meet the kv
◼
►
she did but she was more interested in
◼
►
the donkey and that's understandable
◼
►
because you can't ride a kv donkeys are
◼
►
such an interesting sighs if they were
◼
►
much bigger much smaller they wouldn't
◼
►
be as interesting they're very
◼
►
interesting size m because you don't use
◼
►
it without the well we have a kind of a
◼
►
pending by the petting zoo but then it
◼
►
has like a pen around of stuff that you
◼
►
can just look at the donkeys are always
◼
►
very interesting-looking to me
◼
►
got to me too there you know and they're
◼
►
very Hardy yes you can you can go you
◼
►
can go down to the grand canyon with
◼
►
yeah did you know a cab American rate
◼
►
can weigh a hundred pounds and grow to
◼
►
is that right a hundred pounds it's a
◼
►
great it's bigger than you think and
◼
►

►

◼
►
been displayed with adult male escorting
◼
►
juvenile males so they groom the Rockies
◼
►
it's been observed I think it's a great
◼
►
idea I think you need a project

◼
►
where you're not sure what their that
◼
►
the the one we be eyes are causing the
◼
►
discoloration and they don't know what
◼
►
that it's whether you know the thing
◼
►
about little dogs where it's like I
◼
►

◼
►
brown deer to put spaces like are you
◼
►
sweating or over are your eyes your eyes
◼
►

◼
►
delight ear sting but they were great
◼
►

◼
►
smiths they're here to proceed are
◼
►
utilized for that to your state's or
◼
►

◼
►
short as a common troubling issue in
◼
►
which the hairs around the dog's eyes
◼
►
become discolored look
◼
►
ya knows it could have been one or both
◼
►
eyes but you would like to your stains
◼
►
what causes things what constitutes
◼
►
you're staying here students develop
◼
►
over time and there are several reasons
◼
►
why this occurs this is great writing
◼
►
for some poodles more than one of the
◼
►
causes will be at the root of the cock
◼
►
problem haha ok go on Wikipedia writer
◼
►
no that's not this is a small poodle
◼
►
info.com better even better look good
◼
►
with your edited it could be it could be
◼
►
a red yeast infection could be a tear
◼
►
duct tissue an ear infection could be
◼
►
teething stuff for the water could be
◼
►
artificial coloring and food
◼
►
I don't want any of that explanation
◼
►
know that I want one explanation for
◼
►
yeah good light ear stating is a result
◼
►
of poodles having bad dreams
◼
►
I think struggle i would tell you that's
◼
►
muscular riding bad that's right yeah
◼
►
put a lot polite you're standing as a
◼
►
bad dreams and pools omit needless words
◼
►
um so anyway that's happening and you
◼
►
have any updates on the RV still
◼
►
pondering so that time you know you're
◼
►
one sorry you're in the moment you're
◼
►
not thinking about right
◼
►
no I can't I can't continue to be in the
◼
►
mode of not thinking about it because
◼
►
the man the RV the guy that is storing
◼
►
the RV is giving me the very very
◼
►
friendly but firm voice when he talked
◼
►
to me on the phone which is yes we
◼
►
agreed that you can keep it here until
◼
►
until februari but that is contingent on
◼
►
you getting mixed here on you moving
◼
►
yeah he doesn't what I mean I'm guessing
◼
►
he doesn't want to hear on january 31st
◼
►
is oh sorry i'll come pick it up in a
◼
►
week or so right and that and that
◼
►
worries me because you know what I don't
◼
►
want is for him to suddenly say like
◼
►
well if you want it then you have to pay
◼
►
me 100 dollars a day for storage right
◼
►
Tom and we did we have no agreement
◼
►
about that and there's nothing I don't
◼
►
think keeping him from doing that and in
◼
►
the probably with the reading cops or
◼
►
the reading sheriff's office it would be
◼
►
harder for me to negotiate with them
◼
►
then this guy who's like I put a lien on
◼
►
the vehicle and now you have to come to
◼
►
the reading courthouse know sometimes so
◼
►
uh so I but I'm not accusing this guy of
◼
►
that in advance but it just feels like
◼
►
he is saying he sent me some paperwork
◼
►
today is like well fill out this
◼
►
application for a napa no interest car
◼
►
repair loan and we'll just get right on
◼
►
it you can give me fifteen hundred
◼
►
dollar deposit tomorrow
◼
►
he's good he's moving right and so you
◼
►
can play them i'm talking to other
◼
►
people on the on the black list it's
◼
►
already going to be very hard for me to
◼
►
go down there and here's the crazy thing
◼
►
the the transmission was throwing chunks
◼
►
for sure but it wasn't
◼
►
I've I've run a transmission out of a
◼
►
vehicle to the point where it wouldn't
◼
►
go into gear and wouldn't move because
◼
►
the transmission had disintegrated who
◼
►
this thing never stopped running under
◼
►
it was thrown smoke everywhere
◼
►
but there's a part of me that's like
◼
►
yeah everybody that looks at it says it
◼
►
needs a new transmission it surely does
◼
►
but will this transmission get it to
◼
►
seattle that is it something that none
◼
►
of us have addressed and if the thing
◼
►
was in seattle i could i would have that
◼
►
six months of you know of time to gear
◼
►
so this is figures into your decision
◼
►
making but it doesn't help with his need
◼
►
yeah and if I say to him hey what are
◼
►
the possibilities of me just making it
◼
►
home limping at home he's gonna say he's
◼
►
it that's gonna change our relationship
◼
►
yep he he wants you to come back with
◼
►
something decisive you want you to come
◼
►
back with get started with work on this
◼
►
and i'll pay what it costs or I'm coming
◼
►
right right and you know and because he
◼
►
doesn't want to be you know my dad I'm a
◼
►
long way away and you know he's in he's
◼
►
in reading where you know the thing
◼
►
about about cathedrals yeah you can get
◼
►
to be a you can have a detrimental with
◼
►
this is you think you have to be in a
◼
►
city to have a cathedral
◼
►
oh interesting that's not what i was
◼
►
saying but yeah that's uh no idea that
◼
►
you told me this right
◼
►
I didn't think you do have to be well
◼
►
you have to be a yeah township or Lord
◼
►
ship or a or a sailing ship tama
◼
►
cathedral ok but I know what I'm saying
◼
►
about cathedrals is the reason the
◼
►
cathedrals and and old architectures so
◼
►
beautiful is that it was built at a time
◼
►
when labor was cheap and material was
◼
►
expensive oh now that's true yeah so you
◼
►
have these guys and it was like well
◼
►
it took a lot to get this stone here but
◼
►
it didn't take a lot to get you Italian
◼
►
stone carver so I spend some time making
◼
►
this stone look pretty
◼
►
yeah with your little cherubims and your
◼
►
car gore gargoyle limbs
◼
►
mhm and and now we have the problem of
◼
►
materials being cheap because they're
◼
►
all made out of glue and wood shavings
◼
►
right but we have made labor very
◼
►
expensive so it's like oh we
◼
►
got all this garbage lumber and garbage
◼
►
particle board but the you know the
◼
►
Carpenters are getting paid
◼
►
thirty-five dollars an hour so let's
◼
►
just throw this thing up as fast as we
◼
►
can right well in Redding California
◼
►
there's one thing I know which is that
◼
►
property is cheap not super cheap it's
◼
►
not like you can move to reading anymore
◼
►
and just by 40 acres right in the center
◼
►
of town and have a sheet problem
◼
►
yeah but so this guy if this RV was
◼
►
sitting at an RV place in downtown
◼
►
Seattle they would be like we need every
◼
►
get your damn RV out of here by tomorrow
◼
►
but in reading discs i could Cisco could
◼
►
stack rvs for a year right so so in a
◼
►
way he is creating a false sense of
◼
►
urgency because it's just like you know
◼
►
what push that thing out to the back of
◼
►
but the back 40 and forget it's there
◼
►
yeah i mean but I'm he's been pretty
◼
►
cool what you think I do think he's been
◼
►
cool i do think he's been cool but yeah
◼
►
I needed dad right now he's like listen
◼
►
son just relax take the winter to think
◼
►
about it there's no one there's no way
◼
►
I'm going to be able to tow it anywhere
◼
►
I can't tell it to san francisco anyone
◼
►
to see us certainly thought of this but
◼
►
he is there any chance you could get a
◼
►
little help from the black list in the
◼
►
internet to find a place where you could
◼
►
store it for a couple months and it'll
◼
►
just be down to getting it towed
◼
►
somewhere that's not costly and with
◼
►
that's him or somewhere else
◼
►
you at least have a little bit of leeway
◼
►
to think about this without all the
◼
►
well that's a good question Merlin and
◼
►
you know what I'm going to get I'm gonna
◼
►
get on the phone this afternoon you've
◼
►
just inspired in front of me no know
◼
►
that there's a guy let's just call him
◼
►
let's just call him what he is here I
◼
►
his name is Greg birch he's a dentist
◼
►
oh yeah great keep email me yeah great
◼
►
birch the dentist who has a pretty
◼
►
famous family member that's right who
◼
►
had whose grandfather was the birch who
◼
►
was sort of like one of the head dudes
◼
►
at the GMC RV how important was it John
◼
►
he was very important he designed the he
◼
►
designed an aftermarket screen door
◼
►
he's so important he was important that
◼
►
I'm sorry 23-foot version of the GMC RV
◼
►
is called is named after him for
◼
►
children it's called the burger chain
◼
►
and the they made much fewer 23-foot rvs
◼
►
than 26-foot rvs but one of them is
◼
►
named after the man for children so
◼
►
great birch who lives up in Northern
◼
►
northwestern Washington and has a
◼
►
thriving dental practice there he's been
◼
►
very helpful in my GM cr-v odyssey he's
◼
►
a he's a young guy the rare young GMC RV
◼
►
owner and dentist and dentist and legacy
◼
►
and so he wrote me yesterday texted me
◼
►
even that he said listen I've been
◼
►
talking a mani and I think we might have
◼
►
so when i get off the phone with you I'm
◼
►
gonna call great birch he's gonna he's
◼
►
probably going to leave some patient in
◼
►
a chair with suction happening on is
◼
►
especially be right back
◼
►
just that you know just closed and spit
◼
►
and I'll be right back and he's going to
◼
►
sit and walk around the dental office
◼
►
talking to me on the phone and saying
◼
►
here's the plan i cooked up with Manny I
◼
►
don't know what that plan is going to be
◼
►
man is a little bit crazy you know he's
◼
►
talking about when he tell you I met me
◼
►
now Manny is a guy who bought who did by
◼
►
10 acres of land in a san jose
◼
►
california back when you could buy 10
◼
►
acres of land in san jose for $15,000
◼
►
well and his 10 acres is way up the hill
◼
►
to the east of san jose and has a
◼
►
panoramic view of san jose california
◼
►
which now as you know is part of the
◼
►
part of the silicon valley family of
◼
►
towns and he sits up there in his like
◼
►
and works on GMC RVs and who knows if i
◼
►
lived up there I would shoot flaming
◼
►
crossbows down into this crossbow bolts
◼
►
down into san jose every night but I
◼
►
don't think he does but he does have you
◼
►
know he's got this this very strange
◼
►
ranch campus up there is a compound it's
◼
►
very it is a compound i would say it has
◼
►
it has it has a gate probably shouldn't
◼
►
no no so he's up there and he's and he
◼
►
rebuilds gmcr RV transmissions my
◼
►
impression is just for the fun of it
◼
►
Wow um like a lot of these gmcr be
◼
►
people you ask them what they did and
◼
►
they're like oh I was a you know an
◼
►
aeronautical engineer and I was a test
◼
►
pilot for Boeing and or whatever and now
◼
►
i read that i restore these turbo 400
◼
►
transmission in my garage but you know I
◼
►
don't want anything I don't want
◼
►
anything out of them and I sell them for
◼
►
a thousand bucks just to cover my costs
◼
►
like huh that's weird I mean have you
◼
►
even seen Downton Abbey I mean how
◼
►
why is this relaxing but I but it is
◼
►
yeah so Manny but you know I went up to
◼
►
mannys place and the first thing ma'am
◼
►
he said was a disarming is a piece of
◼
►
junk who I was like nine out of ten
◼
►
people nine out of ten old guys that I
◼
►
talk to about it said all you got a good
◼
►
deal but man he says a piece of garbage
◼
►
and I'm like well thanks Manny
◼
►
why do you say that and then he walked
◼
►
me over to his GM cr-v which he had
◼
►
built with he'd built with pullouts with
◼
►
like slide outs in the style of a new RV
◼
►
he gutted the interior and built it all
◼
►
this is that that's his real like labor
◼
►
yeah he's like one of these guys that
◼
►
wants to update the GMC RV to make it a
◼
►
space capsule and I'm like well I want
◼
►
to I want to keep it stock like original
◼
►
to the seventies and he got a look on
◼
►
his face like I had said I want to fill
◼
►
it with fucking sheep dip and I want to
◼
►
live inside of it naked and piss on
◼
►
he was like why the fuck would you want
◼
►
to keep it original like she was
◼
►
offended right and I said this is a
◼
►
in the blacklist community i believe it
◼
►
is and i think that most of them are
◼
►
older people who want their GMC rvs to
◼
►
continue to be contemporary ok which
◼
►
means a lot of that weird RV upholstery
◼
►
that's like big flowers or like and and
◼
►
new furniture and new lighting
◼
►
yeah sure and I'm like nah nah man its
◼
►
vintage I wanted to look like somebody's
◼
►
rec room from 1974 like i wanna i wanna
◼
►
fuckin have a shag carpet in a round bed
◼
►
and they're just offended by it they
◼
►
just feel like that's so go show its
◼
►
ghosh its counter to their their
◼
►
aeronautical engineering background
◼
►
because blah blah blah
◼
►
yeah and so anyway so i know to feel I
◼
►
know to discount somewhat his feeling
◼
►
that my RV is junk because he looks at
◼
►
things like that's like old it's just
◼
►
it's a stock it hasn't been updated but
◼
►
I but it did get inside my head
◼
►
his comment so that i'm walking around
◼
►
and I'm discounted the nine out of ten
◼
►
dentists surveyed who feel like
◼
►
sugarless gum is there their
◼
►
recommendation for patients who come who
◼
►
I've got this one dentist that's like
◼
►
not fucking sugar gum and so when I
◼
►
think about repairing the RV I'm like
◼
►
maybe it's a piece of junk maybe man is
◼
►
right so maybe the the other four five
◼
►
dentists are being supportive
◼
►
mmm being nice because that's how you
◼
►
rolling on the blacklist
◼
►
yeah they're being nice or they're being
◼
►
just you know they're just they're doing
◼
►
that old man mechanic thing where
◼
►
they're like well it's up to you
◼
►
uh-huh you go look my RV is on fire
◼
►
should I put it out there like well
◼
►
that's up to you and you know that's a
◼
►
personal decision like no give me some
◼
►
advice here the gear you've got 11 of
◼
►
these tell me what I should do well you
◼
►
know you can either save it or not
◼
►
well looks like your cars are far it's
◼
►
like rock you give me a give me like a
◼
►
little piece of fatherly advice right
◼
►
and these are the same guys that you
◼
►
know that's what exactly what they say
◼
►
to their sons to they kicked him out of
◼
►
the nest and they're like well better
◼
►
huh anyway so that's the update and I'm
◼
►
still you know i'm still still pawn over
◼
►
and I'm still thinking about what
◼
►
whether or not i got a lot of responses
◼
►
last week from people who listened to
◼
►
last week's podcast expressed a lot of
◼
►
respect for our opinion are for our
◼
►
feelings about crowdsourcing and then
◼
►
ultimately said but you're nuts
◼
►
please accept our money please take my
◼
►
money or whatever it is that they say
◼
►
and so I'm still considering some
◼
►
I have been setting up Marlon an ebay
◼
►
store I've been setting up an ebay
◼
►
students amazing and now right
◼
►
I've never done this before i'm setting
◼
►
up an ebay store you're gonna tell your
◼
►
stories and I'm gonna tell so i'm going
◼
►
to tell some stories about some coats
◼
►
and pants and boots and then I'm gonna
◼
►
I'm gonna put those codes pants and
◼
►
boots for sale up to the people and say
◼
►
here's the story of it mhm here's my
◼
►
opinion about this coat here my feelings
◼
►
basically you buy the story comes with
◼
►
the coat and you can eat a bit on it or
◼
►
not the the starting starting price is
◼
►
going to be 0 or 99 cents or whatever
◼
►
like it's it's pure auction know kind of
◼
►
reserved and you can just go to town on
◼
►
it some of these items I've worn for
◼
►
years some of them are are are pieces
◼
►
that I've had in my in my collection and
◼
►
Warren periodically and I might even I
◼
►
might even everyone's want to sell one
◼
►
this is very interesting John because my
◼
►
dad's shirts don't actually fit me and
◼
►
I've worn them for years and always kind
◼
►
of tugged at the collar shirt tucked up
◼
►
the cuffs because they're just sort of
◼
►
an inch or even a half an inch too small
◼
►
in every direction and so it's like I'm
◼
►
gonna sit on these insisted on these dad
◼
►
shirts until what my daughter grows up
◼
►
and doesn't know how how are you gonna
◼
►
well i'm making a commitment to apply
◼
►

◼
►

◼
►

◼
►

◼
►
up there at first I'm just going to put
◼
►
20 things babies baby steps see what
◼
►
people think you'll find at least one of
◼
►

◼
►
should put up one that's gonna be the
◼
►
one that everybody talks about links to
◼
►
well just don't you think you need one
◼
►

◼
►

if this jacket has been through
◼
►
everything with me but it just isn't
◼

◼
►
up being yes if i was going to if I was

◼
►
Pacific freighter maybe i would need
◼
►
that much for bulletproof protection but
◼
►
I've never had never taken that job so
◼
►
anyway so that is you know that's one
◼
►
that's one item that's going up there
◼
►
but is that more is that more of a of a
◼
►
of a tentpole item then like one of my
◼
►
dad's shirts that says Roderick honored
◼
►
on the on the tail where his dry cleaner
◼
►
wrote his name in my heart I don't know
◼
►
you're going to decide what you need
◼
►
some kind of fish food you know that
◼
►
look at cycling like an auction house to
◼
►
do you need one really big guy we got
◼
►
you know here's Elizabeth Taylor's
◼
►
right right right right knee like some
◼
►
you need some Taylor pants hmm what's it
◼
►
gonna be what's it gonna be you know
◼
►
you'll get you'll get it but I i will
◼
►
continue say as I've said you off there
◼
►
because i love you just get the
◼
►
infrastructure right that's the hardest
◼
►
so that's the thing I'm you know this is
◼
►
what we have a soul bells yet because
◼
►
the year the fulfillment in fulfillment
◼
►
sometimes these things up i'm ironing
◼
►
them i'm taking photographs of them and
◼
►
then my my senses that i'm just going to
◼
►
get those priority mail envelopes and
◼
►
i'm going to put more boxes i'm gonna
◼
►
just put the stuff in the boxes and put
◼
►
little post-it notes on it that tells me
◼
►
this is the code for this is the boot
◼
►
and then they'll all be stacked they're
◼
►
pretty boxed and when they sell i'll
◼
►
just all have to do is just write the
◼
►
name on it and then take it to the post
◼
►
office they're telling the story on a
◼
►
card now be kind of cool
◼
►
wow that's an extra step but that's well
◼
►
yeah but that's what you're selling your
◼
►
selling the story on a card that's what
◼
►
makes it artisanal isn't it
◼
►
oh absolutely you can't have small batch
◼
►
type it up in the car but maybe i'll use
◼
►
my cursive typewriter which I i hardly
◼
►
ever get a chance to do I like a corset
◼
►
typewriter got a cursive but i think i
◼
►
think if you found especially it's an
◼
►
old index cards and typed up a paragraph
◼
►
on the item i think now you get yourself
◼
►
us to do you think I don't have a stack
◼
►
of old index cards you because i don't
◼
►
have a house train your ID on him a
◼
►
shoebox full of index cards that are in
◼
►
a minute discontinued sighs the eastern
◼
►
better cards are not three by five three
◼
►
and a half by five and a half
◼
►
oh my goodness let's go out
◼
►
yeah yeah the only the only file
◼
►
cabinets that can they can hold them are
◼
►
all made of oak so what's your time
◼
►
well so my ebay name is Morgan rides
◼
►
morgan writes free ok because because my
◼
►
middle name is Morgan as you know and
◼
►
when I was a teenager and I was hopping
◼
►
freight trains I realized that all the
◼
►
hobos had little tags that they wrote on
◼
►
the trains to indicate that schooling on
◼
►
the trains and John Hodgman kind of blew
◼
►
this up with his you know 500 OBO names
◼
►
yeah but you know hobo names were things
◼
►
that they actually kind of scroll door
◼
►
sometimes like scratched into the rust
◼
►
of of of freight trains to you know to
◼
►
communicate with each other and to just
◼
►
say like Kilroy Was Here right sure
◼
►
and so I needed something like that but
◼
►
I was 17 and I was like it was a
◼
►
dangling and I was like what's my hobo
◼
►
name and I didn't and I couldn't decide
◼
►
thing is I feel like your hobo name is
◼
►
something that your fellow hobos
◼
►
bequeath to you or or or bestow upon how
◼
►
you don't choose a name you earn it
