In this Halloween episode — “Ghouls Just Wanna Have Fun” (or “Hands In The Candy Jar,” if you’re feeling grabby) — the boys share their costumes, mourn the premature arrival of Christmas décor, and get into Don’s biscuits. And let’s just say Gary’s “hose” management skills are truly something to behold. Come for the candy, stay for the cackles — it’s frightfully funny! 👻

00:00:11.400 --> 00:00:13.119
Well, aren't you looking well educated?

2
00:00:14.599 --> 00:00:18.519
Well, I'm I'm feeling very twisted right now?

3
00:00:19.160 --> 00:00:21.800
Are you? Hold on? Let me watch watch what this does?

4
00:00:21.839 --> 00:00:32.039
Watch this? The camera moves around.

5
00:00:32.840 --> 00:00:34.560
Oh, I thought you were just like doing some kind

6
00:00:34.600 --> 00:00:35.359
of pose.

7
00:00:36.920 --> 00:00:39.000
Or a spasm. I'm not sure.

8
00:00:38.840 --> 00:00:40.000
Are you having a stroke?

9
00:00:41.679 --> 00:00:47.600
Call someone? Oh? Oh, what did I see? Two little pasties?

10
00:00:48.240 --> 00:00:50.039
Well, if I if I could sit up high, let

11
00:00:50.079 --> 00:00:50.439
me do this.

12
00:00:50.560 --> 00:00:55.479
There's there's a oh my chilling off.

13
00:00:55.840 --> 00:00:58.079
Pardon me if I had a nickel.

14
00:00:58.600 --> 00:01:00.880
No, we'll see. We'll take the head obviously. Can see.

15
00:01:01.039 --> 00:01:02.759
This is my version of twister.

16
00:01:03.600 --> 00:01:08.159
But I call it twisted cause you kiss it, rub it,

17
00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:12.519
touch it or slap it, and then you can, you know,

18
00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:13.439
spin it around.

19
00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:17.120
I told you about this costume, right.

20
00:01:17.159 --> 00:01:20.439
That's fabulous. Can I share with you my costume real quick?

21
00:01:20.439 --> 00:01:21.840
Well, I'm trying to figure out what you are.

22
00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:25.040
Well, now what am i.

23
00:01:28.200 --> 00:01:29.920
You're pasta?

24
00:01:31.560 --> 00:01:31.640
No?

25
00:01:31.879 --> 00:01:34.719
Almost apella? No?

26
00:01:35.439 --> 00:01:37.159
What says oh Cappellini?

27
00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:42.719
Yes, keep going, sound it out. What's this?

28
00:01:43.959 --> 00:01:44.200
Bow?

29
00:01:45.359 --> 00:01:46.120
Bow tie?

30
00:01:46.799 --> 00:01:49.640
Bow tie? Cappellini?

31
00:01:50.159 --> 00:01:53.400
Pasta cute?

32
00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:56.760
Right, that's what you came up with.

33
00:01:58.319 --> 00:01:59.519
Listen, I'm on a budget.

34
00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:04.680
You can you can first wear it and then you'll

35
00:02:04.760 --> 00:02:05.480
later eat it.

36
00:02:06.680 --> 00:02:11.639
Well, that's kind of the that's the idea. Actually, listen,

37
00:02:11.680 --> 00:02:13.719
I always like the ironic ones. I am not getting

38
00:02:13.800 --> 00:02:15.560
dressed up for this this holiday.

39
00:02:16.479 --> 00:02:18.960
Well, remember my favorite one that you ever came up

40
00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:24.360
with was serial Killer. It was a box of cereal

41
00:02:24.360 --> 00:02:25.919
with a knife through it, wasn't it or something?

42
00:02:26.159 --> 00:02:30.080
Yeah, I think, I think, yeah, God, that's a good one.

43
00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:32.599
Though I should actually, you know what, I might have

44
00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:33.759
to work that one out for them.

45
00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:35.319
For you just you know, go to when we start,

46
00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:39.599
get get a big box right to put a name

47
00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:43.479
brand uh cereal on it and then get a knife

48
00:02:43.479 --> 00:02:45.319
and you know, maybe some blood mark.

49
00:02:48.560 --> 00:02:49.479
Anyway, how are you?

50
00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:51.039
I'm good, I'm good.

51
00:02:51.560 --> 00:02:53.719
I feel like we haven't done this for weeks.

52
00:02:53.919 --> 00:02:55.719
It has been a couple of weeks. We've we've been

53
00:02:55.800 --> 00:02:59.039
hoping busy. You were traveling for work and for other stuff.

54
00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:02.879
And I've just been busy with meetings and I had

55
00:03:03.879 --> 00:03:06.199
out of town guests visiting. I mean, they weren't saying

56
00:03:06.199 --> 00:03:11.360
with me. But it's yeah, been busy. But I want

57
00:03:11.439 --> 00:03:18.800
to ask you because to our watchers and listeners, we

58
00:03:18.800 --> 00:03:21.719
were supposed to tape a record at eight o'clock this

59
00:03:21.800 --> 00:03:25.960
morning instead is three o'clock PM. Because you had an

60
00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:29.639
issue with biscuits, So don tell me about your biscuits.

61
00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:34.319
Here's the thing, to be honest, it's a safe place.

62
00:03:34.800 --> 00:03:37.960
Well, thank you for asking. I appreciate that my biscuits

63
00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:41.680
needed more preparation than I had anticipated. The reason why

64
00:03:41.759 --> 00:03:45.159
I needed time for my biscuits. And actually I will

65
00:03:45.159 --> 00:03:49.520
add a video here because there's a song called wait

66
00:03:49.560 --> 00:03:52.479
for the Biscuit or something. Have you seen that? Yeah?

67
00:03:52.520 --> 00:03:52.879
I have it.

68
00:03:53.520 --> 00:03:56.639
Well, guess what I'm going to share that here too. Basically,

69
00:03:56.879 --> 00:03:59.400
I was, we were we had a brunch today with

70
00:03:59.680 --> 00:04:01.599
John Than and Sonia coming over, and I wanted to

71
00:04:01.599 --> 00:04:03.400
because I haven't seen them for a long time. I

72
00:04:03.439 --> 00:04:06.039
really wanted to do something special, so I was we

73
00:04:06.039 --> 00:04:11.000
were doing the Aina Garten Martha Stewart Palooza recipes today,

74
00:04:11.280 --> 00:04:14.879
which included some time to prepare. So my biscuits actually

75
00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:18.360
took a couple hours to put together because they had

76
00:04:18.399 --> 00:04:21.199
to be mixed and cooled and it's like it's a

77
00:04:21.240 --> 00:04:23.279
whole thing. So they let me just tell you the

78
00:04:23.279 --> 00:04:25.319
menu and I will share pictures later because it it

79
00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:28.040
came out really well. I'm very pleased. It was a

80
00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:35.279
time cheese biscuit cheese biscuit nice with maple and brown sugar,

81
00:04:35.439 --> 00:04:42.240
bacon the front door, and a Martha Stewart potato spinach

82
00:04:42.399 --> 00:04:46.439
soup flet nice. It turned out really, really well, so

83
00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:47.600
I was very happy, So thank you.

84
00:04:47.839 --> 00:04:50.279
Today is a lazy Sunday. It's kind of gloomy out,

85
00:04:50.439 --> 00:04:53.040
so is it? The only thing I had on my gend.

86
00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:54.519
I needed to go to the grocery store, and I

87
00:04:54.560 --> 00:04:57.000
did that. Okay, I was maybe going to go see

88
00:04:57.000 --> 00:04:59.480
a movie. You know, it's one of those days, so

89
00:04:59.639 --> 00:05:03.759
I I would go see the Jennifer Lopez movie Kiss

90
00:05:03.800 --> 00:05:04.600
to the Spider Woman.

91
00:05:05.480 --> 00:05:07.279
I don't know if you need to blow the well.

92
00:05:07.399 --> 00:05:07.959
I didn't.

93
00:05:08.240 --> 00:05:09.920
There was a book first, right, and then there was

94
00:05:09.959 --> 00:05:12.279
a movie, and then there was a stage production, and

95
00:05:12.319 --> 00:05:14.319
there's this musical movie version of it.

96
00:05:14.360 --> 00:05:15.480
I had never seen any of it.

97
00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:17.720
Didn't read any of it, but though, well, you know whatever,

98
00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:21.560
I'll go see it. Side check to see movies now

99
00:05:21.560 --> 00:05:25.439
playing in San Francisco. Not one single screen was showing it.

100
00:05:26.120 --> 00:05:29.480
The only place I could find it was today at

101
00:05:29.480 --> 00:05:33.720
two thirty pm down in San Jose. I'm driving an

102
00:05:33.720 --> 00:05:36.040
hour to go to Jennifer.

103
00:05:36.759 --> 00:05:41.120
Here's the reality about that movie. But unfortunately, like my

104
00:05:41.199 --> 00:05:48.240
mom used to say about Jennifer Lopez, she's okay. So unfortunately,

105
00:05:48.279 --> 00:05:51.199
because I've had the honor of actually seeing the original

106
00:05:51.199 --> 00:05:54.839
production with Cheeta Rivera in New York one hundred years ago. Yeah,

107
00:05:54.879 --> 00:05:57.920
so it's quite the stage play. Maybe people just aren't

108
00:05:57.959 --> 00:06:02.079
going to movies that are, you know, musicals anymore. They

109
00:06:02.120 --> 00:06:04.079
saw Wicked, maybe they're done.

110
00:06:04.319 --> 00:06:06.879
Yeah, I mean I think in general, people are not

111
00:06:06.920 --> 00:06:10.920
going to the movie theater like they used to all

112
00:06:10.959 --> 00:06:14.120
these years since the pandemic. When I've gone, it's like

113
00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:16.759
me and six other people and we're scattered about in

114
00:06:16.759 --> 00:06:19.959
the theater right now. I would tend to go like midweek,

115
00:06:20.319 --> 00:06:23.959
late morning. I mean when I did see Wicked, because

116
00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:28.439
I saw the first one last year twice, both times,

117
00:06:28.639 --> 00:06:30.800
you know, pretty good crowd size. And the part two

118
00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:32.279
is coming out next month.

119
00:06:32.399 --> 00:06:33.959
Yes that's true. I forgot about that.

120
00:06:34.040 --> 00:06:36.519
Yeah, but yeah, I don't know if it was competition

121
00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:37.680
with that or maybe it's her.

122
00:06:37.759 --> 00:06:39.680
I mean, she's gotten a lot of flak. Who knows.

123
00:06:39.720 --> 00:06:45.480
But the reviews, I guess were not great. No, No,

124
00:06:45.560 --> 00:06:49.240
I saved myself like fifteen eighteen bucks whatever movie tickets cost.

125
00:06:49.120 --> 00:06:51.040
And a little bit of heartache probably too.

126
00:06:51.399 --> 00:06:53.360
So today it's a lazy day.

127
00:06:53.439 --> 00:06:56.160
So yeah, I get it. So let's take a break. Yes,

128
00:06:56.360 --> 00:07:00.319
we'll come right back and jump into our Halloween pulls

129
00:07:00.360 --> 00:07:02.839
a Halloween Palusa. What are we calling this episode?

130
00:07:02.879 --> 00:07:05.319
Well, I want to call it hand in the candy jar.

131
00:07:08.160 --> 00:07:11.360
Okay, we're gonna go with that, because in the invite

132
00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:13.600
you had something else written trick.

133
00:07:13.800 --> 00:07:16.279
Now show me your tree, Dor, I don't know something.

134
00:07:18.120 --> 00:07:21.079
Listen, you're the creative license for all of our titles

135
00:07:21.120 --> 00:07:24.000
because you're so good at it. So let's take a break.

136
00:07:24.040 --> 00:07:25.560
We'll figure it out and we'll be right back.

137
00:07:25.600 --> 00:07:26.680
Okay, sounds good.

138
00:07:26.720 --> 00:07:30.040
Thanks. I love your nonies there like you can just

139
00:07:30.199 --> 00:07:31.800
it looks like two nonies.

140
00:07:33.279 --> 00:07:43.160
We'll be right sorry, Oh, fuck it up, don't you

141
00:07:43.319 --> 00:07:44.120
fucking pressure?

142
00:07:44.199 --> 00:07:49.759
Oh hi, Oh it's a family show. Welcome back to

143
00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:51.279
Don and Gary doing sixty.

144
00:07:51.879 --> 00:07:56.360
That one is Don and I'm Gary. The bow type pasta.

145
00:07:57.079 --> 00:07:58.800
That's funny. It is funny.

146
00:07:58.839 --> 00:07:59.439
It is funny.

147
00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:01.399
So I'm going to come up with that's not really

148
00:08:01.399 --> 00:08:05.680
a bow tie, but you know who's to I digress.

149
00:08:05.920 --> 00:08:11.000
We're here to talk about being of a certain age

150
00:08:12.079 --> 00:08:14.959
and by that I mean sixty, hence the title of

151
00:08:15.040 --> 00:08:19.920
the podcast plus plus and we're both sixty three.

152
00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:23.839
Now it sounds weird to say it, doesn't it.

153
00:08:24.040 --> 00:08:25.040
Well, I want to hear you say it.

154
00:08:25.040 --> 00:08:25.959

Good job.

172
00:09:29.320 --> 00:09:33.879
So today our episode is, as you can see well

173
00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:38.559
if you're watching us costume centric because we are a

174
00:09:38.639 --> 00:09:43.519
week the week leading up to Halloween. I am dressed

175
00:09:43.639 --> 00:09:49.759
as a twister board, although I've renamed it twisted because

176
00:09:49.879 --> 00:09:52.480
it's not left foot, right foot, left hand, right hand.

177
00:09:53.080 --> 00:09:58.840
It's rub it, kiss it, slap it, touch it.

178
00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:04.120
And so maybe share with the kids, what kind of

179
00:10:04.200 --> 00:10:06.440
reception you've worn this out in public? Right?

180
00:10:06.960 --> 00:10:08.519
The first time I wore it was up at a

181
00:10:08.559 --> 00:10:12.840
Halloween party. I debuted it in Portland, Oregon. Really, John

182
00:10:12.960 --> 00:10:14.240
was living up at the time. I went to visit

183
00:10:14.360 --> 00:10:16.159
him and he goes, I'm going. I were invited to

184
00:10:16.240 --> 00:10:19.320
a hat party, and this was in October, and I

185
00:10:19.399 --> 00:10:21.720
happened to have this costume with me in the suitcase,

186
00:10:21.879 --> 00:10:24.200
just in case. So this was the hat I wore,

187
00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:27.320
and I wore the rest of it, and then I

188
00:10:27.519 --> 00:10:30.960
wore it when the Castro in San Francisco used to

189
00:10:31.039 --> 00:10:35.080
have the big blowout Halloween parties in the street during

190
00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:37.120
his heyday, when everybody's out in the street and it's

191
00:10:37.159 --> 00:10:39.480
just it's a lot of fun. And I came across

192
00:10:39.559 --> 00:10:42.480
a young teenage girl who had had a few too

193
00:10:42.519 --> 00:10:46.799
mandy to drink, I would say, and she recognized my costume.

194
00:10:47.039 --> 00:10:48.720
Oh my god, are you twister?

195
00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:51.159
I said, yes, I am, And then I tilt my

196
00:10:51.240 --> 00:10:56.279
head down so she could spin my thing it and

197
00:10:56.399 --> 00:11:00.279
she landed on slap at blue and she did Beau's

198
00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:01.799
just right. As you see, I have a blue right

199
00:11:01.840 --> 00:11:04.399
here as she slapped the hell out of my bosom.

200
00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:09.080
And so I haven't worn it in a while, but

201
00:11:09.159 --> 00:11:11.320
I have it in my archives with my Superman costume

202
00:11:11.360 --> 00:11:14.840
and my Pumpkin costume and all these other goodies. I

203
00:11:14.919 --> 00:11:17.399
will say my favorite one that I borrowed from a friend.

204
00:11:18.159 --> 00:11:21.399
She got it from Disney. It's the teapot from.

205
00:11:22.720 --> 00:11:23.399
Beauty and the Beast.

206
00:11:23.519 --> 00:11:24.000
Sure, why not?

207
00:11:24.120 --> 00:11:27.399
Okay, from Beauty the Beast, and it's you know, the

208
00:11:27.480 --> 00:11:31.519
big overstuffed one. And so my niece's nephews were pretty

209
00:11:31.519 --> 00:11:33.960
young at the time, and they came to my family

210
00:11:34.039 --> 00:11:36.320
home and I took them around to go trick or treating.

211
00:11:37.399 --> 00:11:41.120
And the look on the neighbors faces when they'd look

212
00:11:41.120 --> 00:11:43.399
out the window. The kids would walk up and they'd

213
00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:46.159
see me standing at the sidewalk, and I do a profile,

214
00:11:46.240 --> 00:11:47.799
and it looked like it's a big teapot, looked like

215
00:11:47.840 --> 00:11:53.200
an elephant because the spout was like the trunk. And

216
00:11:53.360 --> 00:11:56.200
then my nephew would grab my handle from behind and

217
00:11:56.279 --> 00:11:58.320
then he would pour and I would you know, I'd

218
00:11:58.360 --> 00:12:00.480
bend over tip me as an for me.

219
00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:01.519
So it was.

220
00:12:01.639 --> 00:12:03.840
It was very funny and it was a fun costume.

221
00:12:04.799 --> 00:12:07.679
And the non PG version of this is the photo

222
00:12:07.759 --> 00:12:11.200
that I actually have of this showing your spout. Yes,

223
00:12:11.879 --> 00:12:15.879
and I didn't get elephant, although you know, if you

224
00:12:15.919 --> 00:12:17.559
want to brag about it, you could get elephant.

225
00:12:17.679 --> 00:12:19.559
But I'm just saying, And I told you what my

226
00:12:19.679 --> 00:12:27.559
song was that i'd sing right, No, well, I'm not

227
00:12:27.559 --> 00:12:29.000
going to sing it. I'll just say it because I

228
00:12:29.039 --> 00:12:31.960
have a terrible singing voice. Oh come on, I'm a

229
00:12:32.039 --> 00:12:36.639
little teapot, short and stout. Here is my handle, and

230
00:12:36.799 --> 00:12:39.840
here is my other handle. Oh no, I'm a sugar bowl.

231
00:12:45.039 --> 00:12:49.240
So you're welcome. So do you have a favorite costume

232
00:12:49.279 --> 00:12:50.639
that you've worn over the years.

233
00:12:51.039 --> 00:12:53.240
Well, I do think the serial Killer is one of

234
00:12:53.320 --> 00:12:57.080
my favorite. I don't did you actually wear that? No? Okay,

235
00:12:57.480 --> 00:12:59.600
well I kind of. I actually got a box of

236
00:12:59.679 --> 00:13:02.559
cereal okay, but that was problematic at the time. But

237
00:13:02.919 --> 00:13:05.320
I like the ironic ones where you have to think

238
00:13:05.320 --> 00:13:08.240
about it a minute, like yours. You absolutely have to

239
00:13:08.279 --> 00:13:10.360
think about your twisted because.

240
00:13:10.120 --> 00:13:12.120
That's that's I don't know how I came up with it.

241
00:13:12.240 --> 00:13:14.600
I just you know, yeah, I just I've never been

242
00:13:15.080 --> 00:13:17.480
the traditional costume where.

243
00:13:17.799 --> 00:13:20.519
Although in your younger years, because you work for some

244
00:13:22.240 --> 00:13:25.240
clothing companies, you would come out, you would wear some

245
00:13:25.399 --> 00:13:27.679
really fabulous aff wouldn't you like coordinate with other co

246
00:13:27.840 --> 00:13:32.279
workers and do like a theme or is that private parties?

247
00:13:32.840 --> 00:13:36.519
It was more for like private parties for public consumption.

248
00:13:38.720 --> 00:13:41.320
So one of our friends had a friend who was

249
00:13:41.600 --> 00:13:45.120
who is a costume designer, like he works on shows

250
00:13:45.159 --> 00:13:47.240
iving here in San Francisco, and so they did a

251
00:13:47.279 --> 00:13:50.480
whole theme where they all coordinated where they were all

252
00:13:50.559 --> 00:13:53.720
Barbie dolls and different types of Barbies, but they.

253
00:13:53.639 --> 00:13:56.639
Were in the box with the Barbie was big a

254
00:13:56.679 --> 00:13:58.720
couple of years ago. This was years ago and they

255
00:13:58.759 --> 00:13:59.000
did it.

256
00:13:59.080 --> 00:14:01.240
But that was love to see them in the street

257
00:14:01.279 --> 00:14:03.399
and they're all lined up and it was like, you know,

258
00:14:03.559 --> 00:14:07.279
trailer trash Barbie and lawyer Barbie and whatever. But they

259
00:14:07.279 --> 00:14:10.279
were all like in the box with the plastic film

260
00:14:10.679 --> 00:14:12.200
as if you were buying them off the shelf.

261
00:14:12.279 --> 00:14:13.039
It was hilarious.

262
00:14:13.120 --> 00:14:15.480
Wow. One thing I was very impressed with that I

263
00:14:15.519 --> 00:14:18.159
saw last year. Do you remember the film called Megan

264
00:14:19.240 --> 00:14:22.080
The one that she was at a Little Girl Robot.

265
00:14:22.200 --> 00:14:25.279
Oh right, Yeah, they had in West Hollywood. They had

266
00:14:25.360 --> 00:14:27.679
a Megan drill team. Oh no, which is all in

267
00:14:27.799 --> 00:14:29.399
because there was a scene where she actually did some

268
00:14:29.519 --> 00:14:32.440
crazy dance or something like a crazy dance that they

269
00:14:32.519 --> 00:14:36.200
had like twenty five guys dressed up as Megan doing

270
00:14:36.399 --> 00:14:38.679
that dance. So that was pretty amazing too.

271
00:14:38.879 --> 00:14:39.720
But yeah, crazy.

272
00:14:40.679 --> 00:14:42.360
Yeah, So what are your plans? Wait, I know I

273
00:14:42.399 --> 00:14:45.879
have to go back. You did some decorating recently at

274
00:14:45.919 --> 00:14:46.919
your mom's house, didn't you.

275
00:14:47.039 --> 00:14:47.240
Yeah.

276
00:14:47.360 --> 00:14:49.639
So where my mom lives in San Mateo, it's a

277
00:14:49.759 --> 00:14:54.000
street with ten houses on it, playground on one end.

278
00:14:54.159 --> 00:14:57.080
So for years and years we've gotten a you know,

279
00:14:57.200 --> 00:14:59.320
city permit to block off both ends of the street.

280
00:15:00.320 --> 00:15:04.159
Cars don't you know drive through, which allows the street

281
00:15:04.200 --> 00:15:06.080
to be open for the kids to room free. And

282
00:15:07.039 --> 00:15:09.679
because it's a few blocks away from the main street,

283
00:15:11.000 --> 00:15:13.240
there's not a lot of car traffic. So the families

284
00:15:13.320 --> 00:15:16.159
with kids really love that because then the few blocks

285
00:15:16.159 --> 00:15:18.039
are on my mom's house, they can you know, they

286
00:15:18.519 --> 00:15:20.200
can get a lot of bang for their buck in

287
00:15:20.279 --> 00:15:22.240
terms of collecting candy, and it's safe.

288
00:15:22.879 --> 00:15:28.200
So we for years have gotten like three hundred kids.

289
00:15:29.600 --> 00:15:29.919
Wow.

290
00:15:30.399 --> 00:15:33.720
So I for years have been buying the big ass

291
00:15:33.879 --> 00:15:37.159
bags of candy from Costco and they get three bags,

292
00:15:37.879 --> 00:15:40.559
and you know some families are some households made like

293
00:15:41.200 --> 00:15:43.039
put the bowl, the basket out and the kids just

294
00:15:43.120 --> 00:15:43.720
grab a handful.

295
00:15:44.000 --> 00:15:52.200
I literally hand one to every single child because otherwise

296
00:15:52.320 --> 00:15:52.759
it's a lot.

297
00:15:52.919 --> 00:15:53.440
It is a lot.

298
00:15:53.919 --> 00:15:57.559
And they start around five thirty ish pms. And by

299
00:15:57.639 --> 00:15:59.840
eight thirty we're done with the candy and the lights

300
00:15:59.879 --> 00:16:02.279
go out, like there's usually you know there's some like

301
00:16:02.320 --> 00:16:04.720
whose parents work late and they're like they just get

302
00:16:04.759 --> 00:16:06.600
home eight o'clock and they're trying to get their kids out.

303
00:16:06.639 --> 00:16:10.679
I'm like, I'm sorry, the show's over here. So we're

304
00:16:10.720 --> 00:16:11.159
done done.

305
00:16:12.679 --> 00:16:14.600
Yeah, this year we're actually going to do so we're

306
00:16:14.639 --> 00:16:18.159
doing a little neighbor pot luck in the driveway because

307
00:16:18.159 --> 00:16:19.919
we have three on a lot here, so there's three

308
00:16:20.399 --> 00:16:23.879
homes here, so we all go over here. And what's lucky,

309
00:16:23.960 --> 00:16:25.879
we don't get as many as three nowhere close to

310
00:16:25.919 --> 00:16:28.240
three hundred because they ship all the kids over to

311
00:16:28.320 --> 00:16:30.919
Manhattan Beach where they've got the full sized candy bars. Oh,

312
00:16:31.039 --> 00:16:33.360
but the ones that do stay local, and there are

313
00:16:33.399 --> 00:16:35.000
a lot of things. Actually, I'm hearing there's a lot

314
00:16:35.039 --> 00:16:37.480
of organizations, like schools do a lot of trick or treating,

315
00:16:38.320 --> 00:16:40.399
retailers do a lot, So there's a lot of places.

316
00:16:40.480 --> 00:16:43.159
But luckily it's a Friday night. Yeah, the weather's been

317
00:16:43.200 --> 00:16:45.600
really nice here. It's gorgeous here today. It's like seventy five.

318
00:16:45.639 --> 00:16:48.120
Oh wow, breeze here today, so it's beautiful. Hopefully that

319
00:16:48.200 --> 00:16:50.240
weather will continue. But we go out here and do

320
00:16:50.360 --> 00:16:53.559
a little barbecue and pot luck on the driveway. But

321
00:16:53.679 --> 00:16:55.639
what happens is since we get so few and we

322
00:16:55.720 --> 00:16:58.440
always over buy candy. Like every kid that comes in

323
00:16:58.639 --> 00:17:00.440
is like they take one and say, no, put your

324
00:17:00.480 --> 00:17:03.000
hand in there. I grab as many as ye yeah, yeah,

325
00:17:03.279 --> 00:17:07.319
take as many, and we're done. By the end of

326
00:17:07.319 --> 00:17:09.799
the night, the last kids showing up like here's everything

327
00:17:09.880 --> 00:17:13.200
we have in our buckets. The last kid is going

328
00:17:13.279 --> 00:17:18.119
to be really hitting home. Yeah, so I'm excited, although

329
00:17:18.119 --> 00:17:20.880
I'm very I'm excited because it's it's good weather and

330
00:17:21.039 --> 00:17:23.359
it's fun, and you know, it's it's kind of fun

331
00:17:23.400 --> 00:17:25.319
to see the neighbors and see the kids running.

332
00:17:25.680 --> 00:17:28.240
It is fun to see the especially the really young

333
00:17:28.319 --> 00:17:29.559
ones who are like this is their first time it

334
00:17:29.599 --> 00:17:31.599
is like, well, really, I can walk up to this

335
00:17:31.759 --> 00:17:33.920
man and he'll give me a candy and you're okay

336
00:17:33.960 --> 00:17:34.880
with that, Mom and dad.

337
00:17:35.319 --> 00:17:37.960
But you're parsing out how long does that take? You said,

338
00:17:38.000 --> 00:17:39.240
like three and a half hours or sothing.

339
00:17:39.240 --> 00:17:42.079
I mean they generally start coming around five thirty ish,

340
00:17:42.480 --> 00:17:44.559
and by eight thirty we're like shutting it down because

341
00:17:44.559 --> 00:17:47.759
either I'm out of candy or like empty. Yeah, but

342
00:17:47.880 --> 00:17:51.319
it's and sometimes you look out on the street and

343
00:17:51.440 --> 00:17:55.759
it's just like a mob of kids, right, and they're

344
00:17:55.759 --> 00:17:57.319
just trying to figure out, well, what else right first,

345
00:17:57.319 --> 00:17:59.720
because you know, pretty much all the houses in our street,

346
00:17:59.839 --> 00:18:03.799
my mom street, you know, decorate, which is nice. So yeah,

347
00:18:03.880 --> 00:18:05.720
so I decorated her house yesterday.

348
00:18:07.680 --> 00:18:08.640
I already got the candy.

349
00:18:08.720 --> 00:18:10.720
And then my niece is bringing her daughter and a

350
00:18:10.759 --> 00:18:13.359
bunch of friends are coming over that night, and my

351
00:18:13.440 --> 00:18:15.400
mom's house to be like home base. So I'm bringing

352
00:18:15.480 --> 00:18:18.480
extra costumes. So if anyone needs a costume, I have

353
00:18:18.599 --> 00:18:20.279
my mom wear the pumpin costume.

354
00:18:20.319 --> 00:18:23.440
Maybe your mom's gonna wear please take pictures of that?

355
00:18:23.960 --> 00:18:27.680
Oh yeah, will she wear that she has in the past.

356
00:18:27.920 --> 00:18:30.279
And just you know, you just slip it on over

357
00:18:30.319 --> 00:18:33.119
your head. So sure, I'll have her do that, but yeah,

358
00:18:33.200 --> 00:18:34.720
so it'll be fun. I shall be at my mom's

359
00:18:34.720 --> 00:18:37.079
house on Friday night to do that. It's been going on.

360
00:18:37.160 --> 00:18:38.279
I have out of town relatively.

361
00:18:38.480 --> 00:18:40.400
I thought maybe we should talk a little bit about

362
00:18:40.400 --> 00:18:42.720
the fact it's been a little while since we recorded. Yes,

363
00:18:42.799 --> 00:18:45.200
we've both been pretty busy with stuff. So I know

364
00:18:45.519 --> 00:18:48.920
all of our listeners and followers are just you know,

365
00:18:49.079 --> 00:18:51.720
there's a there's a void in their world without our

366
00:18:51.839 --> 00:18:54.880
episode right now. So we just thought we'd walked through

367
00:18:54.880 --> 00:18:58.599
a little bit. We've been very busy doing things, being important,

368
00:18:58.759 --> 00:19:01.599
doing those things that we do, so I thought we

369
00:19:01.720 --> 00:19:03.440
maybe could jump into what we've been doing for the

370
00:19:03.519 --> 00:19:04.240
last couple of weeks.

371
00:19:04.960 --> 00:19:07.400
Well, I can tell you that three days ago I

372
00:19:07.640 --> 00:19:11.480
was at city Hall speaking before a committee of the

373
00:19:11.559 --> 00:19:17.160
Board of Supervisors about my volunteer work for the fire debs.

374
00:19:17.599 --> 00:19:20.279
And the saturday before that we had our big city

375
00:19:20.319 --> 00:19:23.440
wide drill and that was beautiful weather.

376
00:19:24.279 --> 00:19:26.440
There was some I saw some footage of you holding

377
00:19:26.519 --> 00:19:27.200
a big hose.

378
00:19:27.720 --> 00:19:29.400
Yes, so one of these.

379
00:19:30.920 --> 00:19:31.960
It got a lot of airplay.

380
00:19:32.079 --> 00:19:33.119
Let me tell you a lot of comments.

381
00:19:33.279 --> 00:19:37.720
So as you know, and some of our listeners and watchers.

382
00:19:37.759 --> 00:19:37.799
Know.

383
00:19:37.920 --> 00:19:39.880
I volunteer for the fire department, so twice a year

384
00:19:39.920 --> 00:19:42.519
we do a big city wide drill. So we were

385
00:19:42.599 --> 00:19:46.880
at this park right alongside the bay, and for this

386
00:19:47.000 --> 00:19:51.519
particular event, the firefighters brought the hoses where if they

387
00:19:51.559 --> 00:19:54.000
knew to, they would you know, extract water from the

388
00:19:54.039 --> 00:19:56.599
bay to help put out a fire. So they come

389
00:19:56.680 --> 00:19:59.599
in big, huge hoses and then they have this device

390
00:19:59.640 --> 00:20:04.119
where a transfer it to a smaller hose. So we

391
00:20:04.240 --> 00:20:08.759
as volunteers got to you know, handle the hose with

392
00:20:08.880 --> 00:20:12.920
the firefighters watching over you. So I told people it

393
00:20:13.000 --> 00:20:15.519
was like my ghost moment where you know, instead of

394
00:20:15.559 --> 00:20:18.640
doing the clay at the table, you know, Patrick Swayzee

395
00:20:18.839 --> 00:20:22.920
over Tommy Moore, it was one of the firefighters over

396
00:20:22.960 --> 00:20:26.319
each of us, you know, just because it's a lot

397
00:20:26.400 --> 00:20:28.839
of pressure. It's not you know, it's like a ginormous

398
00:20:30.359 --> 00:20:33.200
garden hose and there's a lot of pressure coming out

399
00:20:33.200 --> 00:20:34.400
of it, so you have to really hold on to

400
00:20:34.440 --> 00:20:36.039
it because otherwise if you let it go, it could

401
00:20:36.119 --> 00:20:37.559
I mean seriously, it could hurt someone.

402
00:20:37.599 --> 00:20:38.279
It could kill someone.

403
00:20:38.359 --> 00:20:42.440
Actually said be very So you know, with their watching

404
00:20:42.480 --> 00:20:44.319
over us, everyone got to do it and it was fine.

405
00:20:44.359 --> 00:20:47.160
It was probably one of the highlights in terms of activities,

406
00:20:47.160 --> 00:20:50.279
because it's not something we normally would do right, right,

407
00:20:50.720 --> 00:20:54.279
So so someone took video of that, uh, and then

408
00:20:54.319 --> 00:20:58.200
I put on Instagram and then the comments and I

409
00:20:58.319 --> 00:21:00.680
mean the few we.

410
00:21:00.759 --> 00:21:03.759
Are showing admirable restraint today on our PG rated.

411
00:21:04.119 --> 00:21:06.759
Well, you know, I'm just saying.

412
00:21:07.359 --> 00:21:09.519
I think my comment was, please show us on the

413
00:21:09.599 --> 00:21:11.240
doll where the bad hose touched you.

414
00:21:11.440 --> 00:21:12.799
I love that comment.

415
00:21:15.240 --> 00:21:17.559
But everyone else, all your other buddies and friends had

416
00:21:17.599 --> 00:21:20.119
some comments too, so that thing went viral. Yeah.

417
00:21:20.640 --> 00:21:21.400
Yeah, I do have to.

418
00:21:21.400 --> 00:21:23.440
Say you handled the hose quite well though.

419
00:21:23.400 --> 00:21:24.440
Well saw my first time.

420
00:21:24.519 --> 00:21:29.119
Don That's what I hear. And did they enjoy you

421
00:21:29.279 --> 00:21:30.160
handling the hose?

422
00:21:31.400 --> 00:21:32.680
I didn't hear any complaints.

423
00:21:34.240 --> 00:21:37.640
How's your hose? No complaints?

424
00:21:38.079 --> 00:21:40.759
Now, I mean it's all good. You know, it's volunteer

425
00:21:40.880 --> 00:21:43.920
work support our fire department in event disaster, so it

426
00:21:44.000 --> 00:21:44.920
was all for good cause.

427
00:21:45.000 --> 00:21:47.240
So yeah, and this is not your first time speaking

428
00:21:47.279 --> 00:21:49.400
on the other event that you attended. That's not your

429
00:21:49.400 --> 00:21:51.559
first time speaking in front of a group, obviously. No.

430
00:21:52.079 --> 00:21:54.559
I'm on the advisor board, so we speak before the

431
00:21:54.880 --> 00:21:58.079
supervisors the Fire Commission. We're meeting with the fire chief

432
00:21:58.440 --> 00:22:02.680
next month. But yeah, I mean because I've been volunteering

433
00:22:02.759 --> 00:22:06.319
for twenty years. This is my twentieth year as a volunteer,

434
00:22:06.839 --> 00:22:09.559
and I've been on the advisory board since twenty twelve's

435
00:22:09.599 --> 00:22:13.559
like thirteen years. So we do get out and speak

436
00:22:13.640 --> 00:22:15.839
in public, and then I'm used to it because we

437
00:22:15.960 --> 00:22:19.839
also do events where we're talking to the public. You know,

438
00:22:19.920 --> 00:22:21.880
you set up an information table at an event.

439
00:22:23.319 --> 00:22:26.599
And you've been on the news numerous times, being interviewed

440
00:22:26.720 --> 00:22:27.480
numerous times.

441
00:22:27.480 --> 00:22:29.359
Come on, dom, this is not the Gary Show.

442
00:22:29.559 --> 00:22:33.519
Come on, but why don't you share with our followers

443
00:22:33.559 --> 00:22:36.400
who you're what the organization's.

444
00:22:35.880 --> 00:22:39.279
Called, Oh okay, Through the San Francisco Fire Department, it's

445
00:22:39.359 --> 00:22:42.599
called the Neighborhood Emergency Response Team or INERT.

446
00:22:43.440 --> 00:22:44.960
I love it when you call yourself a NERT.

447
00:22:45.079 --> 00:22:49.039
And in your city it is cert community Emergency Response Team.

448
00:22:49.119 --> 00:22:52.880
So anyone of you can contact your local fire department

449
00:22:53.640 --> 00:22:56.640
and learn about taking some training so you can help

450
00:22:56.680 --> 00:22:59.319
your neighbors in the event of a disaster. I mean

451
00:22:59.319 --> 00:23:02.160
here in California. You know, obviously everyone thinks tornadoes, but

452
00:23:02.640 --> 00:23:05.960
remember southern California had the huge fires. True, so that

453
00:23:06.200 --> 00:23:08.319
the skills they teach us are low riskings. We're not

454
00:23:08.400 --> 00:23:11.200
going to run into a you know, burning building. We're

455
00:23:11.240 --> 00:23:13.880
not gonna you know, risk our lives. The things that

456
00:23:13.960 --> 00:23:16.759
we can do are the low risk, simple things that

457
00:23:16.839 --> 00:23:18.839
will help them because they can't be everywhere.

458
00:23:19.160 --> 00:23:21.960
Right, And it's actually quite an amazing program. The certain

459
00:23:21.960 --> 00:23:24.119
program that you know you mentioned that's out here at

460
00:23:24.160 --> 00:23:27.880
the beach is always filled. Only happens I think two

461
00:23:28.000 --> 00:23:30.079
or three times a year, but it only has a

462
00:23:30.119 --> 00:23:33.279
certain amount of spots and the fire departments literally two

463
00:23:33.319 --> 00:23:36.799
blocks away from our house here, but it's always filled.

464
00:23:36.839 --> 00:23:38.519
I try to get into it every single time, and

465
00:23:38.599 --> 00:23:42.359
by the time they announce it, it's literally filled. So popular,

466
00:23:42.720 --> 00:23:44.720
which I think is a great thing because basically you're

467
00:23:44.799 --> 00:23:48.119
kind of being more educated on how to assist, right.

468
00:23:48.200 --> 00:23:49.599
Oh for sure, yes, yeah.

469
00:23:49.599 --> 00:23:52.279
I mean if there's anything as a team when you organize,

470
00:23:52.319 --> 00:23:54.200
if there's something that's out of our scope, then we

471
00:23:54.359 --> 00:23:56.599
just report it to them, right so they can take

472
00:23:56.640 --> 00:23:58.799
care of the big stuff. But if it's something you know,

473
00:23:59.000 --> 00:24:02.039
simple that we can do, so that's you know, things

474
00:24:02.079 --> 00:24:03.559
that can check off their lists that they don't have

475
00:24:03.559 --> 00:24:05.319
to worry about. So that's basically the point of it.

476
00:24:06.039 --> 00:24:07.880
So you're basically the model citizen, aren't you.

477
00:24:08.039 --> 00:24:11.359
I do what I can with what I have left.

478
00:24:13.039 --> 00:24:16.240
So so that's something you were up to. What else

479
00:24:16.359 --> 00:24:17.880
was going on with you? Though? Because I know we've

480
00:24:17.880 --> 00:24:18.480
been away from my.

481
00:24:20.759 --> 00:24:23.480
I mean, I because I volunteered for several different things.

482
00:24:23.519 --> 00:24:25.559
There's I just always I'm always going to meeting. I

483
00:24:25.640 --> 00:24:26.960
mean this past week, I think I went to a

484
00:24:27.039 --> 00:24:28.240
meeting four nights out.

485
00:24:28.160 --> 00:24:31.079
Of the five, right, But you've also been going to

486
00:24:31.519 --> 00:24:33.960
some places I actually, believe it or not. I can't believe.

487
00:24:33.960 --> 00:24:36.160
I saw this photo of you on Instagram of you

488
00:24:36.279 --> 00:24:37.160
holding a beer.

489
00:24:38.079 --> 00:24:39.839
Oh right, right, right, Okay, so.

490
00:24:41.640 --> 00:24:42.279
I call it.

491
00:24:42.359 --> 00:24:45.240
I'm in prep mode since I'm going to Germany in December.

492
00:24:45.400 --> 00:24:49.240
I've never been a beer drinker. I've tried it a

493
00:24:49.319 --> 00:24:51.319
few times. I just, you know, whether it's the bitterness

494
00:24:51.400 --> 00:24:54.440
or whatever, the taste, just I just I can't drink it.

495
00:24:54.519 --> 00:24:55.279
It's not for everybody.

496
00:24:55.279 --> 00:24:58.839
It's not for everyone. So there's an Austrian restaurant here

497
00:24:58.880 --> 00:25:03.519
in San Francisco called Leopold's that I've been many, many times.

498
00:25:03.599 --> 00:25:06.000
One of the times I said, look, I'm having ostro food.

499
00:25:06.039 --> 00:25:07.359
I have to have a beer because you know that

500
00:25:07.559 --> 00:25:09.559
goes with it. And I told the waitress I'm not

501
00:25:09.559 --> 00:25:11.240
a beer drinker, and she gave me a light beer,

502
00:25:11.359 --> 00:25:16.279
but just yeah. Then another time that I went, I

503
00:25:16.400 --> 00:25:18.160
noticed on the menu there was a beer that's a

504
00:25:18.240 --> 00:25:19.880
combination of beer with lemon soda.

505
00:25:21.119 --> 00:25:21.759
So I tried it.

506
00:25:21.880 --> 00:25:24.240
I'm like, hey, I could drink that. I think the

507
00:25:24.519 --> 00:25:27.279
lemon probably cut out some of the bitterness. So I

508
00:25:27.400 --> 00:25:29.599
took a picture of that beer. I'm like, okay, whenever

509
00:25:29.640 --> 00:25:31.759
I go someplace, if I'm going to ask if they

510
00:25:31.799 --> 00:25:34.839
offer this brand. So last week I went to a

511
00:25:34.960 --> 00:25:38.240
German restaurant here at Fort Mason in San Francisco, and

512
00:25:38.319 --> 00:25:40.279
they look at the menu and like and the waiter

513
00:25:40.400 --> 00:25:41.720
came by it and I showed him picture, do you

514
00:25:41.799 --> 00:25:43.720
have this beer with a lemon soda? Goes well, we

515
00:25:43.759 --> 00:25:45.839
don't have that same one, but we have this version,

516
00:25:46.519 --> 00:25:49.400
and so that was the whoops, pardon me my head,

517
00:25:49.680 --> 00:25:54.319
my twisted had is coming off. The picture I showed

518
00:25:54.680 --> 00:25:58.039
on Instagram was the beer that I drank.

519
00:25:58.079 --> 00:26:00.960
There, so is beer with lemon soda. So I now

520
00:26:01.079 --> 00:26:01.720
have that name.

521
00:26:01.799 --> 00:26:03.599
So I've got two different beers that I can drink

522
00:26:03.839 --> 00:26:07.400
in Germany, when I'm there because do.

523
00:26:07.359 --> 00:26:09.440
You want a hair clip for your your twisted hat

524
00:26:09.559 --> 00:26:10.000
or do you need.

525
00:26:10.480 --> 00:26:14.079
Now just hold my head a certain way. But yeah, so.

526
00:26:15.720 --> 00:26:20.319
That was that was my pregame beer that I had

527
00:26:20.400 --> 00:26:22.759
with my wienishnistle.

528
00:26:24.160 --> 00:26:28.200
Well ween or something we know something about your.

529
00:26:29.799 --> 00:26:33.200
Now Yeah, so yes, so yes, people, I drink beer now.

530
00:26:34.279 --> 00:26:37.079
Well, no, I get it because I'm not a huge

531
00:26:37.119 --> 00:26:39.440
beer fan either. It has to be something like I

532
00:26:39.519 --> 00:26:41.559
get something called a half of eisen, which usually has

533
00:26:41.599 --> 00:26:44.240
a lot of lemon in it, so it doesn't taste.

534
00:26:44.000 --> 00:26:45.680
Like Okay, well, so I think that's probably along the

535
00:26:45.759 --> 00:26:46.319
same lines.

536
00:26:46.400 --> 00:26:48.160
Yeah. Have you tell me you've never had one of

537
00:26:48.240 --> 00:26:51.200
those dark, dark, really dark beers before?

538
00:26:51.480 --> 00:26:55.279
They're just not something I just again, I just never

539
00:26:55.880 --> 00:26:56.880
never quite taste for it.

540
00:26:57.319 --> 00:27:00.119
So yeah. But on another note, we were to ting

541
00:27:00.119 --> 00:27:03.359
about Halloween, but can you basically guess what? Halloween's over?

542
00:27:04.039 --> 00:27:07.160
It's done. It's not even Halloween yet. Today's the Sunday,

543
00:27:07.240 --> 00:27:11.240
the twenty sixth, everyone, and if you go to watch

544
00:27:11.279 --> 00:27:15.240
any television, if you go to any retailer, Halloween is done.

545
00:27:15.440 --> 00:27:16.519
And it's Christmas.

546
00:27:16.559 --> 00:27:18.599
Always been Christmas secasco for several weeks.

547
00:27:18.680 --> 00:27:22.680
Now is that crazy to you. It's just like crazy,

548
00:27:22.759 --> 00:27:26.519
believe it. It's like, let's enjoy holiday to holiday. Now

549
00:27:26.559 --> 00:27:28.839
we sound like old people, but we kind of are.

550
00:27:29.279 --> 00:27:31.720
But it's like, let's enjoy Halloween for what it is

551
00:27:32.319 --> 00:27:34.079
for the weekend. And then you started gearing up. And

552
00:27:34.160 --> 00:27:38.359
I always say this, Thanksgiving always gets the shot. Yes, always,

553
00:27:38.440 --> 00:27:41.559
they get no respect. And I love Thanksgiving. It's a

554
00:27:41.599 --> 00:27:43.599
great thing. We're actually going to be having quite a

555
00:27:43.640 --> 00:27:46.000
few people over this year that we hadn't intended to do,

556
00:27:46.119 --> 00:27:48.960
but it just worked out that way. So I'm excited

557
00:27:49.000 --> 00:27:51.039
about that because it's always fun to do that. But

558
00:27:51.559 --> 00:27:54.440
it's basically now all I saw the first I think

559
00:27:54.480 --> 00:27:56.799
it was last weekend, or maybe a couple nights ago.

560
00:27:57.480 --> 00:27:59.039
We were watching something and all of a sudden, the

561
00:27:59.119 --> 00:28:02.319
old Navy Christian commercial came on talking about jingle jammies

562
00:28:02.440 --> 00:28:06.160
or something in the snow, even a rest. We haven't

563
00:28:06.160 --> 00:28:09.440
even had Halloween yet. Can we just enjoy one holiday

564
00:28:09.480 --> 00:28:11.680
at a time. They're pushing down your throats.

565
00:28:11.720 --> 00:28:14.640
Well, you know the Hallmark channel, they start showing Christmas

566
00:28:14.759 --> 00:28:17.119
movies in July's tradition.

567
00:28:17.200 --> 00:28:18.039
Did you know there was a thing?

568
00:28:20.480 --> 00:28:24.519
I had no idea, No idea, like what I don't understand.

569
00:28:24.599 --> 00:28:27.440
I'm almost mad about it, but I'm not, like, come on, people,

570
00:28:27.640 --> 00:28:29.519
just everyone calmed down.

571
00:28:30.039 --> 00:28:33.079
Nothing's Hallmark. I I've enjoyed several of their movies. They're

572
00:28:33.200 --> 00:28:36.480
very sweet, you know, they're it's Hallmark, you know, so

573
00:28:36.559 --> 00:28:39.079
I have no complaints. But yeah, it's like really Christmas

574
00:28:39.119 --> 00:28:39.440
in July.

575
00:28:39.640 --> 00:28:42.079
Yeah, I guess I'm relating to that because it's just like,

576
00:28:42.200 --> 00:28:43.880
I know, I went away for a couple of weeks

577
00:28:43.920 --> 00:28:48.119
for a project in Pasadena, but it was It's just

578
00:28:48.160 --> 00:28:49.720
amazing that I was gone for those two weeks and

579
00:28:49.759 --> 00:28:52.119
all of a sudden, so much time has seemed to

580
00:28:52.519 --> 00:28:55.480
pass so quickly. I don't know if it's because you know,

581
00:28:55.599 --> 00:28:58.039
you're in your sixty third year and my forty seventh

582
00:28:58.119 --> 00:29:00.599
year or what, but time seems to be going by

583
00:29:00.920 --> 00:29:03.680
so fast now, especially the holidays.

584
00:29:03.920 --> 00:29:06.640
Well, since this is Halloween related, I have a question

585
00:29:06.759 --> 00:29:10.799
for you. Yes, if you were a candy, which one

586
00:29:10.839 --> 00:29:11.240
would you be?

587
00:29:12.400 --> 00:29:17.359
Hmm, well, I did see this comes to mind because

588
00:29:17.480 --> 00:29:19.559
actually I don't know. This is such such a random

589
00:29:19.599 --> 00:29:22.359
thing that came up. Do you remember the old lollipop

590
00:29:22.400 --> 00:29:25.599
commercial with the owl where it took like how many licks.

591
00:29:25.599 --> 00:29:28.680
Does it take right right? Yes? Yes, yes, pop totsy

592
00:29:28.799 --> 00:29:29.960
rolly pop.

593
00:29:29.880 --> 00:29:31.720
And then he was when you bite into it because

594
00:29:31.759 --> 00:29:36.079
you want to free crunch.

595
00:29:36.279 --> 00:29:38.880
Yeah. So I think I would like to be a lollipop,

596
00:29:39.519 --> 00:29:41.839
a Totsy roll lollipop where you lick on me three

597
00:29:41.880 --> 00:29:47.160
times and then shew my head off, You get some

598
00:29:47.319 --> 00:29:50.400
enjoyment and it's over right. How about you?

599
00:29:51.440 --> 00:29:54.720
I'm thinking, well, you know, I'm a big fan of chocolate,

600
00:29:55.319 --> 00:30:00.240
so I'm thinking anything that's you know, chocolatey, chocolatey, and

601
00:30:00.359 --> 00:30:07.400
maybe nugaty, not nudity, but newgaty nougat family show. So

602
00:30:07.480 --> 00:30:09.960
I'm thinking, you know, like I mean, when I think

603
00:30:10.000 --> 00:30:13.839
of my favorites, it's like Snickers, it's it's the Three Musketeers,

604
00:30:14.839 --> 00:30:20.319
Milky Way, Yeah, salted caramel, forget about it.

605
00:30:20.839 --> 00:30:21.519
I'm all over that.

606
00:30:22.039 --> 00:30:25.720
So yeah, do you have an aversion? Because I've heard

607
00:30:25.720 --> 00:30:27.720
different stories about this, Do you have an aversion to

608
00:30:27.799 --> 00:30:28.480
candy corn?

609
00:30:29.519 --> 00:30:31.400
Not really, I might, you know, I think it's one

610
00:30:31.440 --> 00:30:34.279
of those things that people make fun that's basically people

611
00:30:34.359 --> 00:30:37.359
make fun of. But you know, if you reach into

612
00:30:37.599 --> 00:30:41.279
a candy jar, as we all have, if I come

613
00:30:41.359 --> 00:30:45.279
across it, I'll pass. Okay, I just go for the

614
00:30:46.200 --> 00:30:48.279
one of the ones I mentioned, or a payday or

615
00:30:48.319 --> 00:30:49.200
a okay.

616
00:30:49.920 --> 00:30:51.880
Well, also, I just want while we're on the subject,

617
00:30:51.920 --> 00:30:53.680
i'd want to let you I know you were worried,

618
00:30:53.759 --> 00:30:55.799
and I knew all of our thousands of guests were

619
00:30:55.799 --> 00:30:59.000
worried to but I do have three Halloween jokes for you.

620
00:31:01.440 --> 00:31:04.920
Well, I'm seated and I'm waiting with baited breath.

621
00:31:05.880 --> 00:31:08.839
So why did the ghost start his sheets?

622
00:31:10.240 --> 00:31:12.839
Why did the ghost starch his sheets?

623
00:31:12.880 --> 00:31:15.920
I do not know. He wanted to scare people stiff

624
00:31:17.960 --> 00:31:21.000
when you'd like that one. Why don't mummies take time off?

625
00:31:23.480 --> 00:31:30.559
I don't know, they're afraid to unwind. I'm amazing, let's see.

626
00:31:30.599 --> 00:31:33.559
And my last one is why where do mummies go

627
00:31:33.680 --> 00:31:34.319
for a vacation?

628
00:31:34.519 --> 00:31:34.880
I don't know?

629
00:31:35.039 --> 00:31:36.240
The Dead Sea? The Dead Sea?

630
00:31:40.000 --> 00:31:42.119
I know? Did you make those up?

631
00:31:42.319 --> 00:31:46.359
Or I absolutely did not make those up? But luckily

632
00:31:46.480 --> 00:31:50.480
for me, bad Dad jokes are a huge thing, so

633
00:31:50.559 --> 00:31:53.000
it's very easy to find them. And I, like I said,

634
00:31:53.039 --> 00:31:55.960
I'm horrible at jokes, never been good at it, So

635
00:31:56.440 --> 00:31:58.240
I just you know, I just thought i'd make sure

636
00:31:58.279 --> 00:32:01.200
that everyone got a load of them before.

637
00:32:01.200 --> 00:32:04.559
Oh we got a load of them, all right, So

638
00:32:04.720 --> 00:32:06.839
you asked what else is going on? And one thing

639
00:32:06.880 --> 00:32:10.039
I haven't talked about in many months or many weeks

640
00:32:10.240 --> 00:32:14.720
is my ozembic journey. Oh yes, I do a pick update.

641
00:32:15.240 --> 00:32:20.680
So and so we're in October now. So January is

642
00:32:20.759 --> 00:32:22.880
when I hit the forty pound.

643
00:32:22.680 --> 00:32:23.519
Weight loss mark.

644
00:32:23.559 --> 00:32:26.039
I thought, great, the next would be the fifty pound

645
00:32:26.079 --> 00:32:27.880
weight loss mark, and I never got there. I just

646
00:32:28.000 --> 00:32:31.440
kept fluctuating. So if I weigh myself, I'm down forty

647
00:32:31.480 --> 00:32:33.359
two pounds, forty seven pounds, forty five pounds.

648
00:32:33.400 --> 00:32:34.400
I've just been I've just been.

649
00:32:34.319 --> 00:32:35.160
Fluctuating in that.

650
00:32:36.640 --> 00:32:37.359
That's a good jump.

651
00:32:37.640 --> 00:32:39.920
Yeah, But I mean the goal was to keep going.

652
00:32:40.079 --> 00:32:42.960
So had lab work done, which was already scheduled, and

653
00:32:43.039 --> 00:32:45.200
then I went to see my primary care and then

654
00:32:45.200 --> 00:32:49.440
I went to my entrocrinologists and the nurse there said,

655
00:32:49.480 --> 00:32:52.519
you know what, she suggested this at a previous meeting.

656
00:32:52.880 --> 00:32:58.359
Would you be agreeable to switching to Monjarro because there's

657
00:32:58.440 --> 00:33:01.319
more flexibility with that one in the sense they can

658
00:33:01.400 --> 00:33:05.519
increase the dosage. So I said, okay, well, let's wait

659
00:33:05.559 --> 00:33:07.039
to we have lab work done and then we'll come

660
00:33:07.079 --> 00:33:09.119
back and check. So three months went by, had the

661
00:33:09.200 --> 00:33:11.000
lab work and still hadn't lost more weight.

662
00:33:11.079 --> 00:33:12.240
I'm just still fluctuating.

663
00:33:12.960 --> 00:33:17.920
I'm at I've plateaued, as they say. So she said, okay, well,

664
00:33:18.400 --> 00:33:22.440
we left that meeting with we're going to put in

665
00:33:22.559 --> 00:33:26.599
request to insurance to switch to Mozarro. So that was

666
00:33:26.640 --> 00:33:31.119
the plan that I would continue using the what I

667
00:33:31.200 --> 00:33:33.480
had left of the ozempic and then they'd switched me

668
00:33:33.519 --> 00:33:36.880
over to Mozarro. But she came back and said that

669
00:33:37.039 --> 00:33:42.640
the insurance denied it, saying that because I've only tried ozempic,

670
00:33:43.880 --> 00:33:47.839
they would be more likely to consider it if I

671
00:33:47.920 --> 00:33:52.279
had tried a couple others Trulicity and Victoza.

672
00:33:54.359 --> 00:33:57.759
Okay, and are these there preferred for your insurance?

673
00:33:58.680 --> 00:34:02.000
I guess for this case because she said I spoke, Yeah,

674
00:34:02.400 --> 00:34:05.240
if you try at least two of three other medications

675
00:34:06.119 --> 00:34:09.000
and the other two being Trullicity or Victoza, then they're

676
00:34:09.039 --> 00:34:10.760
more likely to look at the case like what results

677
00:34:10.800 --> 00:34:11.599
has he had with those?

678
00:34:12.000 --> 00:34:13.559
And then they might say, okay, fine. I don't know.

679
00:34:13.559 --> 00:34:15.719
Maybe more genre is more expensive. I don't know, but

680
00:34:15.880 --> 00:34:17.840
what the nurse said was you know what, Okay, fine,

681
00:34:17.880 --> 00:34:19.320
that's what they said. So we're going to keep you

682
00:34:19.360 --> 00:34:23.079
on ozempic. But after the first of the year is

683
00:34:23.119 --> 00:34:25.400
when all the insurance companies like, they may tweak some

684
00:34:25.480 --> 00:34:27.920
things here there, So we will ask them again.

685
00:34:27.920 --> 00:34:30.599
After the first of the year and see what happens. Yeah,

686
00:34:30.840 --> 00:34:32.159
case change anything.

687
00:34:32.800 --> 00:34:35.400
Yeah, Well, here's the thing. Let's talk about insurance for

688
00:34:35.440 --> 00:34:38.199
a minute. There's a lot of things that are coming

689
00:34:38.280 --> 00:34:39.840
up that are going to be very difficult for a

690
00:34:39.880 --> 00:34:42.639
lot of people to deal with in the coming year.

691
00:34:43.079 --> 00:34:47.760
But the one thing that I didn't realize, companies will

692
00:34:47.840 --> 00:34:51.440
now be taking care of a percentage less than they

693
00:34:51.559 --> 00:34:54.800
used to when it comes to covering our all of everyone, oh,

694
00:34:55.480 --> 00:34:59.480
prescription drugs and possibly copays because there's so much of

695
00:34:59.519 --> 00:35:02.119
a cost now because tariffs have been imposed on a

696
00:35:02.239 --> 00:35:05.280
lot of drugs. So unfortunately, we're going to be paying

697
00:35:05.320 --> 00:35:08.920
a lot more for go pays or treatments or whatever.

698
00:35:09.119 --> 00:35:11.280
So I had a shock because I got a bill

699
00:35:11.320 --> 00:35:14.920
for like three thousand dollars recently that they processed for

700
00:35:15.079 --> 00:35:18.360
something I had done in April, and they just got

701
00:35:18.440 --> 00:35:20.119
me a bill. Now, it's like, really, it takes you

702
00:35:20.239 --> 00:35:22.599
eight months. So guess what I mean. Tell me, well,

703
00:35:22.679 --> 00:35:24.440
it's gonna take me eight months to pay you, yeah,

704
00:35:24.719 --> 00:35:26.920
because but I don't think that's going to be the

705
00:35:27.880 --> 00:35:30.000
answer they want from me. But it's kind of shocking.

706
00:35:30.280 --> 00:35:33.239
It's a little bit scary, and it's just something I

707
00:35:33.320 --> 00:35:37.239
think just to everyone, please scrutinize very carefully the plans

708
00:35:37.280 --> 00:35:40.360
that you choose to take and see which ones cover most,

709
00:35:40.440 --> 00:35:42.880
because changing from an H and MO to a PPO

710
00:35:43.000 --> 00:35:45.199
can make a huge amount of difference. So, for example,

711
00:35:45.519 --> 00:35:47.519
the procedure that just sent me a bill for thirty

712
00:35:47.559 --> 00:35:49.880
two hundred dollars was something that was actually taken care

713
00:35:49.880 --> 00:35:52.599
of completely by insurance the previous year.

714
00:35:52.719 --> 00:35:53.119
Oh wow.

715
00:35:53.719 --> 00:35:55.559
So yeah, so it's like that was a big shock.

716
00:35:55.800 --> 00:35:57.800
I'm just more pissed that it takes eight months to

717
00:35:57.880 --> 00:36:01.519
process a bill. So that's another thing I've been dealing with.

718
00:36:01.599 --> 00:36:03.119
I'm just a little bit angry about that. It's like

719
00:36:03.199 --> 00:36:06.719
this can't be right. But it's like, unfortunately, it's very

720
00:36:06.800 --> 00:36:11.280
difficult to fight against billing because it is what it is.

721
00:36:11.440 --> 00:36:13.800
And I got to tell you because you know, eventually

722
00:36:13.840 --> 00:36:16.760
we're both gonna have to go on Medicaid. Yeah at

723
00:36:16.800 --> 00:36:18.800
sixty five, right, so that's going to be a whole

724
00:36:18.920 --> 00:36:22.079
other ball of wax that you have to really, really

725
00:36:22.519 --> 00:36:25.039
take a deep, deep look at before you jump into

726
00:36:25.119 --> 00:36:27.360
it and take out of the I believe they have to.

727
00:36:27.519 --> 00:36:29.800
You have to do some supplemental insurances just to cover.

728
00:36:29.920 --> 00:36:33.119
Yeah, I have a coupleople have done it, and I

729
00:36:33.239 --> 00:36:34.920
know once while there's a seminar on it, and I

730
00:36:35.000 --> 00:36:36.880
want to take it just to have that information ahead

731
00:36:36.880 --> 00:36:39.960
of time. But because it's very confusing, it's not very

732
00:36:40.000 --> 00:36:40.559
it's not kind of.

733
00:36:40.599 --> 00:36:41.039
Dry at all.

734
00:36:41.280 --> 00:36:43.440
Yes, so you got anything else in your in your

735
00:36:43.519 --> 00:36:44.559
cookie in your candy jar.

736
00:36:45.880 --> 00:36:48.360
Well, I'm like I said, I'm looking forward to Halloween

737
00:36:48.360 --> 00:36:49.880
because it's going to be fun seeing the neighbors and

738
00:36:49.960 --> 00:36:52.280
doing fun things at with them. I'm actually looking forward

739
00:36:52.280 --> 00:36:55.920
to the holidays kickstarting. I always enjoy them. There's so

740
00:36:56.000 --> 00:36:58.199
much fun. The weather needs to shift, though, because it's

741
00:36:58.199 --> 00:37:00.800
too friggin hot out here. Yeah, it's just too warm.

742
00:37:00.880 --> 00:37:03.800
So I'm looking forward to it. No more trips. I'm

743
00:37:03.840 --> 00:37:06.800
not doing any more work trips, I refuse. I'm just

744
00:37:06.920 --> 00:37:09.760
not going to do them anymore. So I'm looking forward

745
00:37:09.760 --> 00:37:11.960
to getting the holiday started. I'm looking forward to cooking

746
00:37:12.480 --> 00:37:15.400
and baking because today was a success. Like I said,

747
00:37:15.440 --> 00:37:17.920
I was very happy with those. Here's the thing, real

748
00:37:18.039 --> 00:37:21.119
quick they were, it's a little stressful to coordinate them.

749
00:37:21.159 --> 00:37:23.480
So I actually utilized to coordinate because you know, everything

750
00:37:23.519 --> 00:37:25.719
has a different cooking time. So a biscuit takes a

751
00:37:25.800 --> 00:37:28.440
certain amount of time, a soufe takes a certain amount

752
00:37:28.480 --> 00:37:31.480
of time, and a bacon takes a certain amount of times,

753
00:37:31.480 --> 00:37:33.360
so I actually have to What I found is it's

754
00:37:33.440 --> 00:37:36.679
really good to coordinate your cooking, so like this goes

755
00:37:36.679 --> 00:37:37.199
in at this time.

756
00:37:37.880 --> 00:37:38.639
Oh yeah, you have to do.

757
00:37:39.480 --> 00:37:41.519
And I also have to admit to one more thing

758
00:37:41.639 --> 00:37:43.599
when cooking I do and I used to make so

759
00:37:43.679 --> 00:37:45.599
much fun. You know, in cooking shows you normally see

760
00:37:45.679 --> 00:37:50.039
like fourteen different little bowls of everything, but like put

761
00:37:50.440 --> 00:37:52.599
one teaspoon of this and they have a glass bowl.

762
00:37:52.840 --> 00:37:54.440
Put a cup of this and they have a glass bowl.

763
00:37:54.840 --> 00:37:57.480
It actually makes a lot of sense when you're cooking

764
00:37:57.519 --> 00:37:59.559
to do it that way. Oh really so much easier

765
00:37:59.599 --> 00:38:03.719
to cook because everything's prepared and everything you just basically

766
00:38:03.880 --> 00:38:05.920
do it in the order whatever your recipe is. So

767
00:38:06.519 --> 00:38:10.360
I need to hire fourteen assistants. So I'm looking for

768
00:38:10.480 --> 00:38:13.199
fourteen assistants who will not be paid, but have the

769
00:38:13.320 --> 00:38:16.880
glory and wonderful experience of working with me. On getting

770
00:38:16.920 --> 00:38:19.480
my recipes done, so anyone interested please let me know.

771
00:38:20.360 --> 00:38:22.719
Well, in a similar note, I made chili a few

772
00:38:22.719 --> 00:38:25.199
weeks ago and has a lot ngranged a lot of

773
00:38:25.239 --> 00:38:29.599
different spices yep. Which yeah, it's like I need tables

774
00:38:29.599 --> 00:38:31.400
doing this and one and a half of this, and

775
00:38:31.760 --> 00:38:34.199
I didn't want to have sixteen different things. So I

776
00:38:34.400 --> 00:38:36.760
just had a medium sized bowl because y'all have to

777
00:38:36.800 --> 00:38:39.599
basically going at the same time, right, so you don't

778
00:38:39.639 --> 00:38:42.199
have to like put one in and then stir three minutes.

779
00:38:42.960 --> 00:38:44.880
So it was like, now put in then you know

780
00:38:45.000 --> 00:38:47.320
those six spices. So I just put them in one bowl.

781
00:38:47.360 --> 00:38:49.079
I measured them out, put in one bowl, so I

782
00:38:49.159 --> 00:38:50.840
was ready to go with you know, one dump and

783
00:38:51.679 --> 00:38:52.159
it's in there.

784
00:38:52.519 --> 00:38:57.920
Dump take one, dump in your chilly right. And baking.

785
00:38:58.159 --> 00:39:01.440
I never was a true baker. I didn't bakings like

786
00:39:01.519 --> 00:39:03.039
you have to be too exact. I like to just

787
00:39:03.199 --> 00:39:04.960
throw in some stuff and throw in some stuff.

788
00:39:04.960 --> 00:39:06.480
Now, yeah, baking is more of a science.

789
00:39:06.599 --> 00:39:08.840
Yeah, it's very exact. Yeah, it's like something you don't

790
00:39:08.880 --> 00:39:11.039
do it right, or use baking soad instead of baking powder.

791
00:39:11.280 --> 00:39:13.000
Don't do that before it just so you know, well

792
00:39:13.079 --> 00:39:15.199
I did so Anyways, I'm looking forward to more cooking

793
00:39:15.280 --> 00:39:16.039
and baking.

794
00:39:16.400 --> 00:39:19.119
No something especially like for Thanksgiving, for doing multiple dishes.

795
00:39:19.199 --> 00:39:22.480
What I've learned in for my years of doing helping

796
00:39:22.599 --> 00:39:25.199
with a big meal like that with our family is

797
00:39:25.280 --> 00:39:28.320
that I will look at the different dishes I'm making

798
00:39:28.360 --> 00:39:30.440
and like, what can I make the night before or

799
00:39:31.440 --> 00:39:34.360
you know, so that you're not overwhelming yourself trying to

800
00:39:34.400 --> 00:39:35.519
cram everything in one day.

801
00:39:36.920 --> 00:39:37.480
It's too much.

802
00:39:37.599 --> 00:39:40.519
So you know what, I'm a dork too, do you

803
00:39:40.719 --> 00:39:42.639
i'd like shopping? Do you like to shop? Oh?

804
00:39:42.719 --> 00:39:43.320
Yeah, don't mind it.

805
00:39:43.840 --> 00:39:46.239
I love shopping. Actually, I love grocery shopping because you

806
00:39:46.280 --> 00:39:49.679
find all kinds of stuff and getting inspired. I'm actually

807
00:39:49.679 --> 00:39:53.559
following to a new Instagram page called the Food Dolls.

808
00:39:54.480 --> 00:39:58.519
It's two Egyptian sisters who make the most amazing recipes

809
00:39:58.559 --> 00:40:01.400
that are not hard and it's really really good. So

810
00:40:02.039 --> 00:40:04.199
I'll be boring you with that sometime soon too, but

811
00:40:04.280 --> 00:40:07.400
it's super good. It's like, then promise to get inspired, like,

812
00:40:07.400 --> 00:40:08.400
oh I want to make that. I want to make

813
00:40:08.440 --> 00:40:11.519
that and it requires a lot of different ingreens. Anyway,

814
00:40:11.679 --> 00:40:13.800
so yes, I'm looking forward to a lot of cooking.

815
00:40:13.880 --> 00:40:16.360
Actually, pretty soon I spend a lot of time on

816
00:40:17.639 --> 00:40:22.039
Facebook and Instagram where I'm copying recipes or different dishes, yes,

817
00:40:22.519 --> 00:40:24.960
and put them in you know, I store them because

818
00:40:25.000 --> 00:40:27.599
they never know what I'm gonna need an appetizer or

819
00:40:27.639 --> 00:40:29.599
a side dish or a mang gore or this like,

820
00:40:29.639 --> 00:40:30.159
oh I've.

821
00:40:30.000 --> 00:40:33.039
Never tried that, so yeah, I'm constantly doing that. Yeah,

822
00:40:33.079 --> 00:40:33.639
I have to stop.

823
00:40:33.679 --> 00:40:35.159
I'm like a hoarder of recipes.

824
00:40:35.280 --> 00:40:38.119
Now I'm kind of there too, but I'm a hoarder

825
00:40:38.239 --> 00:40:40.920
of Instagram pages because there's so many people that have

826
00:40:41.679 --> 00:40:45.039
food prep and easy meals and that kind of stuff. Yeah,

827
00:40:45.079 --> 00:40:47.719
so I'm a little bit addicted. So I have to stop.

828
00:40:48.159 --> 00:40:49.280
It has to stop somewhere.

829
00:40:49.480 --> 00:40:51.239
No, it doesn't, Yes, it does.

830
00:40:53.800 --> 00:40:56.239
So actually anything else some other.

831
00:40:56.119 --> 00:40:58.679
Stuff I'll say. You know, it's like little stories i've

832
00:40:58.679 --> 00:41:02.320

three p's in a podcast three piece.

Podcast, Well, the full name was three piece in the podcast.

855
00:42:13.239 --> 00:42:14.679
Is it gay in here or is it just me?

856
00:42:15.440 --> 00:42:20.440
Yes? Yes it is, and it was, but actually I

857
00:42:20.559 --> 00:42:22.480
was listening to come We're pretty funny back.

858
00:42:22.559 --> 00:42:25.760
Oh my god, we're hilarious, right, So check that out.

859
00:42:25.840 --> 00:42:28.320
I'll put the the place to find it. It's still

860
00:42:28.320 --> 00:42:31.079
available on every everywhere actually, so we have a lot

861
00:42:31.079 --> 00:42:32.360
of good stuff coming your way soon.

862
00:42:33.960 --> 00:42:36.480
And there's also Blue Sky and pod page.

863
00:42:36.599 --> 00:42:40.360
Oh sorry, yeah, our Facebook page, our Blue Sky, Blue Skies.

864
00:42:40.480 --> 00:42:42.320
You know, we're seeing where it's going to go with

865
00:42:42.440 --> 00:42:44.639
that Facebook. You can always get all the good stuff

866
00:42:44.639 --> 00:42:48.400
from us there, and we're literally everywhere. Like Gary said before,

867
00:42:48.400 --> 00:42:50.199
if you swing a dead cat, you're probably gonna hit

868
00:42:50.239 --> 00:42:54.280
one of our podcasts right somewhere your channels. But I

869
00:42:54.400 --> 00:42:56.760
must say, as long as we're at it, if you

870
00:42:56.840 --> 00:43:00.440
are listening to us on a Spotify or on Apple podcast,

871
00:43:00.519 --> 00:43:03.840
you are not getting the full Monty, the full Gary,

872
00:43:03.880 --> 00:43:07.239
the full Dawn because basically what I edit for that

873
00:43:07.599 --> 00:43:10.639
is a much shorter version of what you see on YouTube.

874
00:43:10.679 --> 00:43:14.599
So the place to truly get a good sample, a

875
00:43:14.719 --> 00:43:18.760
good taste is on YouTube, Epify for podnice.

876
00:43:18.840 --> 00:43:21.599
I did not know that because I only watch us

877
00:43:21.639 --> 00:43:22.119
on YouTube.

878
00:43:22.920 --> 00:43:24.000
Well that's what I would do too.

879
00:43:24.079 --> 00:43:26.360
Yeah, so we'll see, as you said, you got the

880
00:43:26.400 --> 00:43:26.920
full Monty.

881
00:43:28.000 --> 00:43:33.079
Well yes, that I mean Gary's nanasen is twisted.

882
00:43:32.920 --> 00:43:35.559
Right, I mean because you can see it and you

883
00:43:35.639 --> 00:43:36.559
don't get you.

884
00:43:36.559 --> 00:43:38.760
Don't get any of this or of this.

885
00:43:40.440 --> 00:43:41.519
Unless you watch us.

886
00:43:42.880 --> 00:43:44.239
So take that and smoke it.

887
00:43:46.199 --> 00:43:48.960
Anyway. It's good talking with you, Gary. I did miss you.

888
00:43:49.039 --> 00:43:50.000
I'm glad you're doing well.

889
00:43:50.280 --> 00:43:51.800
Same here. Good to see you, and.

890
00:43:52.440 --> 00:43:54.360

892
00:43:56.119 --> 00:43:58.039
got to get and now they're back in a cycle.

893
00:43:58.400 --> 00:43:59.360
