◼   ► scattered scattered light rain until

◼   ► 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

◼   ► does

◼   ► sign to communicate only in beeps in

◼   ► World War two

◼   ► it was it was the spinach is stuff still

◼   ► sounds pretty good

◼   ► 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

◼   ► lobby mom

◼   ► 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

◼   ► contract

◼   ► 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

◼   ► me in there

◼   ► yeah the late eighties which was no mr.

◼   ► mr. wall

◼   ► 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

◼   ► you fucked my wife

◼   ► 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

◼   ► this

◼   ► 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

◼   ► wash up

◼   ► 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 sure

◼   ► 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

◼   ► style

◼   ► 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

◼   ► drums I think bongos

◼   ► 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

◼   ► happening right back

◼   ► 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

◼   ► 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

◼   ► long way from me

◼   ► 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

◼   ► coming up there

◼   ► 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

◼   ► or something

◼   ► 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

◼   ► like 33

◼   ► 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

◼   ► common core

◼   ► I learned the common core system but I

◼   ► feel like that was an imaginary number

◼   ► oh yeah

◼   ► 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

◼   ► it was 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

◼   ► of the ship

◼   ► uh-huh maybe like what we're traveling

◼   ► you know 11 knots

◼   ► 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

◼   ► like it's 100 feet

◼   ► 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

◼   ► wonder about that

◼   ► 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

◼   ► show

◼   ► 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

◼   ► facade

◼   ► 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

◼   ► Greek perspective

◼   ► 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

◼   ► that creepy beer

◼   ► 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

◼   ► busy

◼   ► 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

◼   ► don't I don't

◼   ► well

◼   ► look here's the thing i have i have i

◼   ► have three things we have talked about

◼   ► but i went up i saw a I saw let's see a

◼   ► 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

◼   ► over here

◼   ► 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

◼   ► put it that way

◼   ► 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

◼   ► up and throw 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

◼   ► your prep

◼   ► 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

◼   ► was made for you

◼   ► 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

◼   ► saw her again

◼   ► 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

◼   ► wouldn't

◼   ► 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

◼   ► should say that it's in a great area

◼   ► 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

◼   ► corner

◼   ► 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

◼   ► what is that worth

◼   ► I mean you apologized via sleepless

◼   ► that music through the wall in equal

◼   ► portions probably a little bit more and

◼   ► pretty cool

◼   ► 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

◼   ► little

◼   ► 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

◼   ► boys right right

◼   ► 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

◼   ► skater boy

◼   ► 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

◼   ► daughter

◼   ► 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

◼   ► Shh you're not gonna make it over the

◼   ► mountains but Shh

◼   ► 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

◼   ► very interesting

◼   ► 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

◼   ► even notice the fur

◼   ► 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

◼   ► very very long

◼   ► 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

◼   ► this dog was lovely

◼   ► 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

◼   ► super sweet but they want all the

◼   ► attention all the time or an australian

◼   ► shepherd I mean you they will be heard

◼   ► everything

◼   ► the only reason to have an australian

◼   ► shepherd is if you have a sheet problem

◼   ► 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

◼   ► and forget about the kids because they

◼   ► are all patiently waiting in line to

◼   ► problem haha ok go on Wikipedia writer

◼   ► no that's not this is a small poodle

◼   ► info.com better even better look good

◼   ► put a lot polite you're standing as a

◼   ► result

◼   ► 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

◼   ► forward

◼   ► 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

◼   ► its own power

◼   ► 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

◼   ► up

◼   ► so this is figures into your decision

◼   ► making but it doesn't help with his need

◼   ► to get an answer

◼   ► 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

◼   ► to get it tonight

◼   ► 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

◼   ► this is this it

◼   ► 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

◼   ► square inch

◼   ► 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

◼   ► pressure

◼   ► 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

◼   ► this is that that's his real like labor

◼   ► of love

◼   ► 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

◼   ► myself

◼   ► he was like why the fuck would you want

◼   ► to keep it original like she was

◼   ► offended right and I said this is a

◼   ► classic rift in the

◼   ► 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

◼   ► 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

◼   ► 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
