Doug 4 00:00:12,679 --> 00:00:15,160 is out, but he will be back sooner than you think. I am 5 00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:19,600 Jay Kirshner. We have Jennifer Horn with us. Hello. Always makes it 6 00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:25,199 a very good day. It's always fun to be with you too. I 7 00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:30,000 have to ask before we go into anything. Can I ask you about jury 8 00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:34,079 duty? Yes, which is why my voice is still scratch you weeks later? 9 00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:37,359 I think, Yeah. So I was on jury duty this week, 10 00:00:37,399 --> 00:00:42,840 which was like super enlightening, and I am now officially off jury duty, 11 00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:46,920 so I can freely talk about what was going on in my question. I 12 00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:50,159 would love to know. We should put it up on Facebook if people have 13 00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:56,320 had good experiences, bad experiences, like how do people handle jury duty? 14 00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:59,600 Because it is our civic right, right, it is our duty to do 15 00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:03,519 this. But what I found, Jay, is that there's just a really 16 00:01:03,519 --> 00:01:10,200 big disregard for people's time. And so I got called for the week of 17 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:12,319 I think it was May eighth, and there might have been something going there 18 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,840 was something going on for me to think that that wasn't the right week. 19 00:01:15,879 --> 00:01:19,079 So I rescheduled it only a few weeks ahead, and I thought, all 20 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,599 right, thinking I'm trying to be crafty, I'll pick Memorial Day because it's 21 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,359 only going to be a four day week and what are the chances. Now. 22 00:01:25,439 --> 00:01:29,159 Keep in mind, I was not in our huge downtown LA courthouse. 23 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:33,359 I was in one of the suburb courthouses. So Tuesday morning, you're supposed 24 00:01:33,359 --> 00:01:36,959 to be there at nine thirty, and you park your car and then you 25 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:40,719 walk into the courthouse and when you get there, you hand over your jury 26 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:44,799 summons and the woman goes, oh, you didn't fill out the back and 27 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,519 I said, well, oh, well, I filled online because that's what 28 00:01:47,519 --> 00:01:49,200 it told me to do when I was registering. She goes, you need 29 00:01:49,239 --> 00:01:53,640 to do it in person too, So meanwhile everybody has filled it out online, 30 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:57,280 So everybody is now taking the extra step to fill out the same broken 31 00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:02,439 thing online that they did online. In person, you hand in your summons 32 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:06,840 and then she goes, oh, take a blue card off of the table. 33 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:08,120 You need to go back to the parking structure and put that in your 34 00:02:08,199 --> 00:02:14,960 vehicle. So then you go walk and trudging back to the parking structure where 35 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:16,840 you think you could just have someone or like jury park. I don't know. 36 00:02:17,479 --> 00:02:21,319 So then you come back and you wait. And the one nice thing 37 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:25,840 I will tell you about that courthouse is they actually had tables and chairs instead 38 00:02:25,879 --> 00:02:30,280 of just the couches that people have died on obviously in the past. So 39 00:02:30,599 --> 00:02:32,240 I was actually able to do about an hour's worth of work and do some 40 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:37,919 emails and that kind of stuff, which was great. So about ten thirties, 41 00:02:37,879 --> 00:02:39,360 so now we're like an hour d they say, okay, everybody here 42 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:43,879 is going to go to a pool in front of this court, in front 43 00:02:43,879 --> 00:02:46,159 of the room like department two or whatever. So everybody goes down the stairs 44 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:50,680 and then we stand and we wait, and there's no place to sit. 45 00:02:50,759 --> 00:02:53,120 And this is the other thing, not to get nitpicky here, but like 46 00:02:53,439 --> 00:02:57,280 I can stand. Is it fun to stand for an hour for anybody unless 47 00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,080 you're at Disneyland. No, But there are people who were like like canes 48 00:03:00,159 --> 00:03:05,400 who are older people like no place to sit for them. So that's a 49 00:03:05,439 --> 00:03:09,159 long time to stand around for, you know, waiting around. So then 50 00:03:09,199 --> 00:03:12,879 they come out and they say, okay, everybody's going to get a number 51 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:17,919 now and tell me if I'm boring you, but I can't win the lottery. 52 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:23,719 But I got number two with your ranting out numbers, and I thought, 53 00:03:23,719 --> 00:03:25,759 oh no, this can only mean trouble. If I'm number two, 54 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:30,240 that means I'm sure number two right now, and sure enough, so then 55 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:31,719 we stood around some more. We waited. By the time we got into 56 00:03:31,759 --> 00:03:37,960 the courtroom, I want to say, it was about eleven forty and the 57 00:03:38,039 --> 00:03:40,000 judge says, oh, thank you all for your time, so important, 58 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:44,960 your civic duty, new worlds and COVID blah blah blah. Oh look at 59 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,919 that, it's time for lunch. So then they break for lunch and then 60 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:53,680 you don't come back till one thirty. And then at one thirty they they 61 00:03:53,840 --> 00:04:00,719 start asking questions like a list basically of the judges of twenty eight questions about 62 00:04:00,759 --> 00:04:05,080 potential bias and that kind of stuff. Long list, so everybody in the 63 00:04:05,199 --> 00:04:11,400 jury box had to answer those questions with the judge. And there are eighteen 64 00:04:11,439 --> 00:04:16,279 of us because they've got twelve of the jurors and six perspective alternates. So 65 00:04:16,319 --> 00:04:18,800 they go through that list and I think, okay, well, I've got 66 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,879 to be honest, I'm in conservative talk radio. I have conservative stink. 67 00:04:21,959 --> 00:04:25,839 I mean they should know this wink wink, because you know who wants that 68 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:30,519 in their jury pool. So we go through talk about your biases. Okay, 69 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,000 people are clearly trying to get off jury duty. You've got all kinds 70 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,519 of people making up all kinds of stories. You've got people crying. I 71 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:40,839 mean, everybody's trying to get out of jury duty. Huh. What was 72 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:46,160 the most absurd kind of excuse or reason that somebody gave that they're they're biased 73 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:51,120 to get out? Okay, So we had this one guy, and you 74 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:55,759 have to identify your occupation. He said he was a theme park actor. 75 00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,680 The guy is as white as a napkin. But he gets up there and 76 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:02,160 he goes, well, you know, as a member of gen Z, 77 00:05:02,519 --> 00:05:08,079 a card carrying member, I am aware of the systemic racism and bias that 78 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:13,399 happens in the legal system. And he went on to talk about how he 79 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,399 was quoting from the Black Lives Matter manifesto, and then he went on to 80 00:05:16,439 --> 00:05:24,040 say that he had altercations with police and and gave some examples about how he 81 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,720 had called the police in his life and it took them fifteen minutes to get 82 00:05:27,759 --> 00:05:33,040 there. That was his big story of bias. So um, it was 83 00:05:33,079 --> 00:05:35,800 interesting, to say the least, a very eclectic crowd. I now have 84 00:05:35,879 --> 00:05:41,160 a television show idea where like called the Pool, where all the people in 85 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,560 the jury that are massed together, because you think about it, you become 86 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,720 like friends with these people from all walks of life. So it is kind 87 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,920 of interesting. I think it would make the most fantastic of television shows. 88 00:05:50,759 --> 00:05:58,560 And and so then that that afternoon they brought us back in. We're supposed 89 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:00,000 to come back from lunch at one thirty. We don't get called back in 90 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,519 until like two oh five, I think. And then the break is at 91 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:08,360 three o'clock. We're getting questioned by the attorney or no, the judge is 92 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:12,639 finishing the questions. The next morning they break us early. Then you have 93 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,879 to come back, and everybody comes back, even the people who haven't been 94 00:06:15,959 --> 00:06:18,959 chosen to be in the box have to come back. So day two we 95 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:26,839 start and we get questioned by the lawyers, the defense and the prosecution about 96 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:30,319 you know, different things that we had said during the judge's questioning. We 97 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,879 get a two hour lunch, so she lets let's us go at noon. 98 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,199 So keep in mind we've been in there about an hour and they go to 99 00:06:35,319 --> 00:06:39,199 lunch. We come back at two o'clock, a two hour lunch, and 100 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,079 she goes, oh, for unforeseen reasons, we have to let you go 101 00:06:42,199 --> 00:06:47,519 now. So we alload to leave it too. Then yesterday, then Thursday, 102 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:56,399 day three, we come in and questions continue from the lawyers they have 103 00:06:56,439 --> 00:06:59,160 to fill in. They dismissed a few people and I thought, oh, 104 00:06:59,199 --> 00:07:02,879 I'm getting to dismissed. They did not dismiss me, and so they filled 105 00:07:02,879 --> 00:07:06,120 in some holes. And then we came back from lunch and they had to 106 00:07:06,199 --> 00:07:11,600 reinterview those people. Judges questions, lawyer's questions, and at the very last 107 00:07:11,639 --> 00:07:13,759 minute they let a few more people go, and I thought, that's it. 108 00:07:14,079 --> 00:07:15,800 And then they said, okay, well we're going to start with the 109 00:07:15,839 --> 00:07:18,120 precursory stuff and something. You finally we're getting somewhere. Three days of jury 110 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:24,000 selection for a dui case just seems absolutely crazy, right, Yeah, So 111 00:07:26,199 --> 00:07:29,079 at the very last minute, they all came out, they released the people 112 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:30,879 they wanted to release together, and then precursory information. I'm like, okay, 113 00:07:30,879 --> 00:07:34,120 I guess we're going to opening statements here. I said Juror number two, 114 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:41,600 and the prosecution let go the person I had been talking to the most. 115 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:45,560 And then the defense comes up and says, Juror number two, thank 116 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:46,800 you for your service, and kind of gave me this rise smile because I 117 00:07:46,839 --> 00:07:50,800 said I was in talk radio and made the courtroom laugh a few times some 118 00:07:50,879 --> 00:07:55,319 of my responses like whether or not I enjoyed my jury service, and I 119 00:07:55,319 --> 00:07:57,920 said, I pleaded the fifth year honor, and so I would kind of 120 00:07:57,959 --> 00:08:03,199 let out it. Oh, I let it oh, And she said that 121 00:08:03,199 --> 00:08:05,639 she was letting me go. As the judge laughed again, she goes, 122 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:07,759 I've never heard anybody with that reaction before, and I said, well, 123 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,680 I said, your honor. I wish everybody good luck, and don't forget 124 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:16,240 to listen to my radio show tomorrow morning when I has the longest plug for 125 00:08:16,319 --> 00:08:22,240 your show of your life. But it was just, you know, I've 126 00:08:22,319 --> 00:08:26,120 come to this conclusion. It is interesting to watch the process. It's something 127 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,920 that I think we all need to do because we can understand the system and 128 00:08:28,959 --> 00:08:33,120 so don't throw away your jury summons, which I know a lot of people 129 00:08:33,159 --> 00:08:37,360 do. But what the court needs to be able to do is be cognizant 130 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:41,480 that so many people work for themselves or have jobs that they have to go 131 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:46,480 to that they're not getting paid time off. I wouldn't mind doing it if 132 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:52,600 they actually utilized your time. But truly, we spend about two hours total 133 00:08:52,759 --> 00:08:56,120 in the courtroom and the rest of the time milling around in the hallway on 134 00:08:56,320 --> 00:09:00,480 lunch breaks. I mean, it's just to me, it becomes a tremendous 135 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,039 waste of time. And why was there even a jury called for a dui 136 00:09:03,159 --> 00:09:07,080 case? Isn't that kind of cut and dry. This is kind of interesting, 137 00:09:07,159 --> 00:09:11,440 and so I don't know because I was not privy to the information, 138 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:15,080 but what I glean from the questions they were asking is that he wasn't even 139 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:18,279 going to testify in his own defense because the prosecution, or excuse me, 140 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:22,679 the defense, was asking a lot of questions like would it impact your decision 141 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:26,559 if you don't hear from the defendant? And then the prosecution only had two 142 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:31,000 police officers, And it seems like maybe circumstantial evidence, like maybe like a 143 00:09:31,039 --> 00:09:35,720 breathalyzer or something like that, But I think there must be priors. That's 144 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:39,320 the only thing I can think of, because in LA, knowing the system, 145 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:43,840 like I do. They don't prosecute anybody, so I would say, 146 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,720 there's got to be more. There's got to be some history, something to 147 00:09:46,759 --> 00:09:52,440 bring him into that situation. Oh my goodness. Interesting. Yeah, but 148 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:56,519 we're not allowed to consider that because you're not supposed to research or do anything. 149 00:09:56,519 --> 00:10:01,600 And they're very very specific about that. No TikTok, no Instagram like 150 00:10:01,639 --> 00:10:07,039 you can't. So this is the first time I've actually been really able to 151 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:09,159 give the details publicly. So it's it's our scoop. And I'm sorry if 152 00:10:09,159 --> 00:10:11,919 it's boring, but I think it's. No, it's not, it's it's 153 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:16,279 fascinating. It's absolutely fascinating. And then you were talking about there should be 154 00:10:16,279 --> 00:10:20,000 some kind of reality show about everybody getting together. There is a somewhat real 155 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:24,000 reality ish show, Jury Duty, on Amazon, but it's one of those 156 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,480 like Truman shows. Have you heard about this, where everything is fake, 157 00:10:26,519 --> 00:10:31,080 the trial is fake, the judge is fake. The rest of the jurors 158 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:35,960 are comedic actors. James Marsden, who the alist actor who plays a version 159 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:39,440 of himself in this. And there is one guy, a civilian who thinks 160 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:45,159 he is on a real jury. He and that there's some kind of documentary 161 00:10:45,159 --> 00:10:50,000 that they're doing about it. He thinks all that is real, And yeah, 162 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,159 I was thinking like almost a drama caught like a drama, ye, 163 00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:58,519 where you like follow everybody's relationships with each other and maybe each each jury's like 164 00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,679 ten episodes and then you have the interaction with the with the defendant, the 165 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:05,600 story of that going on, but also like the relations of the people in 166 00:11:05,639 --> 00:11:09,039 the dry pool, because you are slapped into a situation where you befriend each 167 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,960 other quickly. Well, yes, and I feel like it's a lot of 168 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:15,320 time circumstantial friends. Anyway, you see that in the workplace, and then 169 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:18,080 when you leave a workplace you realize, oh, you were just friends with 170 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,879 that seat or that position, not yeah, because it's a revolving door. 171 00:11:20,919 --> 00:11:24,200 And once that person leaves, then the next person comes and it's like, 172 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,200 okay, well I guess I'm friends with you now. It's and it's a 173 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:31,360 wild crowd. I mean, you've got everybody with your backgrounds coming together, 174 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:35,480 you know, like a mall Santa and a police officer or something. I 175 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:39,519 mean, it's just it's funny. It's a funny set of circumstances. Yes, 176 00:11:39,639 --> 00:11:43,519 and I would love the like single camera interviews for the biases of like, 177 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,759 here's what my bias is going to be? Women crying. I mean 178 00:11:46,799 --> 00:11:50,840 it was great. Oh my goodness, well, thank you so much for 179 00:11:50,879 --> 00:11:54,320 sharing that, because that really was interesting, good, so fascinating. I've 180 00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:56,799 never been called for jury duty, and now I kind of relyved too. 181 00:11:56,879 --> 00:12:03,000 I want to go experience this. It's rough. I am Robert Strickler. 182 00:12:03,159 --> 00:12:07,480 My wife Joyce and I have been married for fifty three years. Certainly one 183 00:12:07,519 --> 00:12:13,399 of the really important things in my life are our children and our grandchildren. 184 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:18,840 I am essentially a writer. I've been involved in communications in the media. 185 00:12:18,159 --> 00:12:24,039 I've been an avid fly fisherman for at least forty or more years. I've 186 00:12:24,039 --> 00:12:28,080 been taking Privigen on a regular basis for at least eight years. For me, 187 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:33,759 the greatest benefit over the years has been that Privigen seems to help me 188 00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:39,000 recall things and also think more clearly, have a crisper ability to remember and 189 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:45,759 think through things. And I enthusiastically recommend Privigen. It has helped me an 190 00:12:45,799 --> 00:12:50,279 awful lot. Provigen healthier brain, better life.

Jay and Jen here, 194 00:13:01,879 --> 00:13:07,720 Doug will be back before we know it, and also back apparently Dwayne Johnson 195 00:13:07,799 --> 00:13:13,799 into the Fast and Furious world. Did you see that he is cooking? 196 00:13:15,279 --> 00:13:18,559 He really will always be the Rock. Yeah, of course he's always the 197 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:22,080 Rock, Wayne, the Rock Johnson. Well, there was a whole bixtink 198 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:26,639 with Fast and Furious, and apparently he will not Apparently he did. He 199 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:31,399 went off and had a spinoff with the Hobson Shaw. He's been with the 200 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:35,799 Fast and Furious stuff since twenty eleven with Fast five. Okay, then he 201 00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:39,120 does twenty nineteen spinoff Hobson Shaw. Then it's this whole stink and some kind 202 00:13:39,159 --> 00:13:46,519 of issue with Vin Diesel or Dwayne Johnson and Vin Diesel whatever. And they 203 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:48,240 were getting along, is what they said, right, Yes, Well, 204 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:54,399 and apparently the Rock did this without Vin Diesel's approval or something. I don't 205 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:56,399 know. It's all the like hearsay, he said, she said, They 206 00:13:56,480 --> 00:14:01,000 said all that stuff. So Dwayne Johnson's like, I'm never returning. He's 207 00:14:01,039 --> 00:14:03,360 not going to have any part in Fast ten. Well, spoiler alert if 208 00:14:03,399 --> 00:14:11,080 you haven't seen it, a mid credit scene has Dwayne Johnson. He has 209 00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:16,519 a cameo in it that shows he is going to be in another installment of 210 00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:20,519 the franchise. Well, he is going to be in his own solo spinoff 211 00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:26,840 movie. Now, Oh, so we'll see together. Yet in the Rock? 212 00:14:26,879 --> 00:14:31,039 Are they back together? I have no idea, So this is this 213 00:14:31,399 --> 00:14:35,639 is if he's going to be in his own solo spinoff movie. I don't 214 00:14:35,679 --> 00:14:37,080 know. I don't know. If they's old people. I can actually another 215 00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:41,720 thing, whether studios like, hey, we want the money, Like you 216 00:14:41,799 --> 00:14:43,799 guys, just do what you're supposed to do your jobs. I can make 217 00:14:43,799 --> 00:14:48,240 it better. There should just be no more Fast and Furious. How many 218 00:14:48,279 --> 00:14:50,120 are there, like twenty five? I haven't even seen one of them. 219 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:54,039 Well, and then you have the various spinoffs and all the things, and 220 00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,600 I think, what is it the third one in the installment? People are 221 00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:58,720 like, don't even watch it, just pretend it doesn't exist the first ones 222 00:14:58,759 --> 00:15:03,919 for see. I just think I think about Paul Walker, who was in 223 00:15:03,039 --> 00:15:05,720 it when it first started, and he's been dead such a long time. 224 00:15:05,759 --> 00:15:11,679 He's been gone so long, Like it's insane how long that franchise has gone. 225 00:15:11,879 --> 00:15:15,159 But hey, good for them, celebrate it, right well, and 226 00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:18,559 then success, this is something else to celebrate. I'm sure you have seen 227 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:22,399 this that Kim Cattrell has been confirmed as a cameo in the season finale, 228 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:26,759 the upcoming season season two have and just like that, and she had come 229 00:15:26,799 --> 00:15:31,840 out saying that she was never actually asked to be in and just like that, 230 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,600 now you got to fill me in because and just like that, I 231 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:37,000 know it's a spinoff of Sex in the City, but are all the cast 232 00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:43,159 members in it the original the other original ones? Nixon, Kristen Davis, 233 00:15:43,679 --> 00:15:48,120 U, Saragis Parker. Yes, so they're all in it. And there 234 00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,200 was this whole big thing about Sam's not in it, Samantha Jones, Kim 235 00:15:50,279 --> 00:15:56,759 Catrell's character and why, but also they didn't kill her character off and there 236 00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,720 was one because she was also not in some of the movies, right, 237 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:02,159 No, she wasn't the movie she was, Oh she did, Okay, 238 00:16:02,639 --> 00:16:04,679 they weren't. Yeah, they were in two movies and apparently they're supposed to 239 00:16:04,679 --> 00:16:08,159 be a third movie that didn't get made. And then had said that and 240 00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:12,240 just like that, is pretty much the third movie. But she had made 241 00:16:12,279 --> 00:16:15,039 it so known that she wanted to know part of any of it anymore. 242 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,440 So she wasn't asked to come back. And it wasn't to slight her or 243 00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:22,720 anything. It was just to respect her space, apparently, and that while 244 00:16:22,799 --> 00:16:26,200 she doesn't Kim I think Kim Cantrella said this that while she doesn't get along 245 00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:30,240 with them, she is open to revisiting it. She just wasn't invited, 246 00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,120 and so now they're like, oh my gosh, come back. We were 247 00:16:33,159 --> 00:16:36,799 trying to respect your space. I don't know. It's one of those like 248 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:41,000 again they said, you said, I said, blah blah blah. And 249 00:16:41,639 --> 00:16:44,679 believe me, everybody wants to be asked. Everybody wants to at least have 250 00:16:44,759 --> 00:16:48,000 the ability to say no, yes, yes, and people change their minds. 251 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:51,799 So even though somebody said said no to something in the past doesn't mean 252 00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:53,919 they'll say no again. But that does bring up a good point. Is 253 00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:57,320 it being disrespectful if somebody has made it clear they didn't want to do something 254 00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:02,240 and you ask one more time. No. I'm an asker because I like 255 00:17:02,399 --> 00:17:04,119 to give people. Even if people have to tell me no, at least 256 00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:07,599 I feel like I've extended myself, you know, because people's egos. If 257 00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:10,599 you if you say, oh, well, I just thought you wouldn't want 258 00:17:10,599 --> 00:17:12,640 to come, but maybe your feelings are hurt because you would have. Yeah, 259 00:17:12,839 --> 00:17:21,960 that's true. He feel feels slighted, neglected about to be out Billy 260 00:17:22,079 --> 00:17:26,200 Joel. Can you believe after ten years he is done Zoe with Madison Square 261 00:17:26,279 --> 00:17:30,160 Garden. No, it doesn't seem possible. It seems like that's not allowed. 262 00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:34,240 Just unless you're going to retire fully, you should still keep doing Madison 263 00:17:34,279 --> 00:17:37,920 Square Garden. Why does Why would anybody give up a residency? Did they 264 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:41,960 ask him too? Were people not coming anymore? Or what happened? Now? 265 00:17:42,039 --> 00:17:47,200 He's just he's just done. It just comes it's coming to an end. 266 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:52,200 And he says that his team tells him that he could continue to sell 267 00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:56,720 tickets for another ten years, but he's he's, you know, I'm hanging 268 00:17:56,759 --> 00:17:59,680 up the hat. There. Shoe schools A thought like the first is that 269 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:06,839 especially like artists, artist right think probably that their creative juices get stifled. 270 00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:11,319 I'd imagine if there was, if they're doing the same thing every single night. 271 00:18:11,559 --> 00:18:14,480 But then you also have the artists who are smart enough to realize, 272 00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:18,160 wait a second, if I don't do this every single night, I actually 273 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:21,799 have to travel, am I going to make the same amount of money? 274 00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:25,440 Like there's so many there's so many things like, yes, you're doing the 275 00:18:25,519 --> 00:18:27,920 same thing every single night in the same place. That may be a little 276 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:33,400 soul crushing, but you're also making money. It's a steady paycheck and you 277 00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:36,279 don't have to travel around. Especially at his age, he might like that, 278 00:18:36,759 --> 00:18:38,519 right. And that's the thing with these residencies. It's not even every 279 00:18:38,599 --> 00:18:42,039 single night, so it's like a show here, a show there. He 280 00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:47,160 has last ten shows will kick off October twentieth, and then he'll play the 281 00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:52,240 last one in July of next year. It's like, yeah, exactly. 282 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:56,440 And you can look at the stuff in Vegas, not the Vegas shows that 283 00:18:56,559 --> 00:19:00,279 are going on every night, but like these will Selin Dion's about it example, 284 00:19:00,319 --> 00:19:03,519 because she's she's out right now. But like when Adela was doing it 285 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:10,119 or Britney Spears was doing it, it wasn't necessarily every single night. It's 286 00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:15,200 exhausting, nonetheless, but I would think would be less exhausting to to stay. 287 00:19:15,319 --> 00:19:18,400 Yeah, it's because the traveling part would take it out more than anything 288 00:19:18,559 --> 00:19:22,440 that I would probably like about it as a performer, not that I'm saying 289 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:25,960 I'm a performer, but as a as a stinger, I would or I'd 290 00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:30,720 probably like knowing that I could do a bigger show with more fun effects and 291 00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:34,519 more stuff and it would consistently be good too, because every time they have 292 00:19:34,599 --> 00:19:38,000 to rebuild a stage and rebuild your show, you have to be able to 293 00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:42,039 travel with it. In Vegas, they do some incredible things with what whether 294 00:19:42,079 --> 00:19:47,279 it's pyrotechnics or the screens or the dancers, because it's the same show every 295 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:49,319 single night, Yes, and you don't have to worry about the teardown and 296 00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:53,799 the setup again in a new city. No quality that initiating architecture of the 297 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:57,839 whole stage presence exactly, and a lot of them too. I feel like 298 00:19:59,319 --> 00:20:03,400 when they have the residencies, their home is also in that same hotel, 299 00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,680 oh yeah, like and they have that what is it like a whole floor 300 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:08,799 almost that's a suite to themselves, and they have their own private elevator that 301 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:15,920 takes them straight down to the backstage area. That just sounds wonderful, doesn't 302 00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:18,519 it though? I think it would be fun, especially as you mentioned I 303 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:21,039 was, I'm kind of like getting into the mindset it's like six months, 304 00:20:21,079 --> 00:20:26,000 if forever. But they're really doing like long weekends usually like Wednesday through Sunday, 305 00:20:26,079 --> 00:20:30,319 maybe for like two three, four weeks, and then they're off for 306 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,759 a very long time exactly like they get their own summer vacation stuff. And 307 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:37,839 I am seeing like we're seeing a lot of this, two of these micro 308 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:41,519 residencies, many residencies where some people are making a stop in one location for 309 00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:48,119 maybe six shows over a one month period, and that just seems like such 310 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:51,839 a better idea than having to travel, travel, travel, And I don't 311 00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:53,319 know, maybe it's different because you're in LA and everybody is going to go 312 00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:59,200 to LA and perform or even just at like a local coffee shops start performing. 313 00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:03,000 Nobody comes to Cleveland. I bet New York it's not always like this, 314 00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:06,799 Yeah, And I bet New York is sad because that's an opportunity for 315 00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:10,039 tourism, right, If you come in to see Billy Joel, you're going 316 00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:11,240 to stay in New York for the weekend. If you are in Cleveland. 317 00:21:11,279 --> 00:21:14,799 Maybe it's if it's a dream of yours to see him, Well, that's 318 00:21:14,839 --> 00:21:17,799 true. New York has so many other things that'll bring tourison. I don't 319 00:21:17,799 --> 00:21:19,599 think they'll hurt too much, but think Okay, So I guess what I'm 320 00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:25,119 thinking about is the Taylor Swift economy. Have you heard about the Swift Academy? 321 00:21:25,559 --> 00:21:27,640 But she's basically it's like the super Bowl in every city she stopped. 322 00:21:27,759 --> 00:21:32,279 Yeah, like everybody loves when she's coming to town because of the hotels and 323 00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:34,680 the food and the other stuff you're doing around the concert. Like, it's 324 00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:40,359 been really good for cities to have her come through. It has been, 325 00:21:40,599 --> 00:21:42,640 Yes, no doubt about that. She has. If you could see any 326 00:21:44,079 --> 00:21:48,920 residency in Las Vegas, they have a ton of them. Yeah, is 327 00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:52,759 there one that you would want to be like, oh my god, I'd 328 00:21:52,799 --> 00:21:56,759 like to see that person in the in the best show that they could do. 329 00:21:56,880 --> 00:22:00,119 Like, for instance, Adele has her residency. You know, you 330 00:22:00,279 --> 00:22:03,200 probably won't see a better show with a Dell than you'll see in Las Vegas. 331 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:06,640 So is there a show? Is there a residency you'd like to see 332 00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:10,960 there? It was um Britney Spears, and I did. I was fortunate 333 00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:12,880 enough to see hers, And it was then when she was going to do 334 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:17,880 what was the second one called Dominatrix. No, what was Dominion? I 335 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:21,359 forget No, that was the voting machine. Yeah, don't say their name 336 00:22:21,559 --> 00:22:23,480 she was supposed to, Yeah, don't evoke them. There is. There's 337 00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:26,440 supposed to be a second another residency that she was doing. Then that's when 338 00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:30,640 she like pretty much canceled it, refused to perform. Good for her, 339 00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:36,640 But then the conservatorship that was already in place kind of took more hold and 340 00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:41,480 everything. So I was looking forward to the second version, but um, 341 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:44,880 yeah, really that's the only one I could think of. I think it 342 00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:47,640 would have been amazing to see share back in the day, once upon a 343 00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:49,279 time. Yeah, if I could jump in a time machine, I think 344 00:22:49,319 --> 00:22:56,279 that would have been absolutely astounding. The well of the residences. I saw 345 00:22:56,400 --> 00:23:00,680 Brittany in Vegas, and I saw the Backstreet Boys residency as well, and 346 00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:03,440 that one was a phenomenal, way better than Brittany. When I saw Brittany, 347 00:23:03,599 --> 00:23:07,759 it was like she was phoning it in, and we know she was 348 00:23:07,799 --> 00:23:11,480 phoning it in. She was not really wanting to be there, and it 349 00:23:11,559 --> 00:23:15,359 was all amazing. It was amazing and fun and the dance and all of 350 00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:18,400 that stuff. I'm not downplaying it, but there were definitely a few moments 351 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:22,720 where you're like, you know the back, she voice, constant energy all 352 00:23:22,759 --> 00:23:27,640 the way through. Um, I would like to see cash is a residency. 353 00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:30,559 I would love it. I'd probably love to see Adele just because I 354 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:33,960 think her voice is incredible. Oh. I've seen Elton John's residency. That 355 00:23:34,279 --> 00:23:41,960 was oh legendary. He was phenomenal. That was his million dollar piano tour 356 00:23:41,079 --> 00:23:47,200 where I mean it was just such an incredible show. I am a Miranda 357 00:23:47,279 --> 00:23:49,279 Lambert fan, so I would probably like to see her residency at this point, 358 00:23:49,319 --> 00:23:52,759 just to see all of her costumes and stuff. Oh I forgot she 359 00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:56,079 had a residency. Yeah yeah, so maybe right now, maybe hers would 360 00:23:56,079 --> 00:23:57,960 be the one. Yes, Okay, I agree with that. I guess 361 00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:03,960 we should talk about some topics in the news, um what well some of 362 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:07,160 them, and there are quite a few viral videos trending right now. Um, 363 00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:11,039 of course, there did you see the one where this car basically went 364 00:24:11,079 --> 00:24:15,400 all dukes of hazard? Um, there was I think a car accident or 365 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:18,480 something, and there was the not the chew truck, but it had that 366 00:24:18,839 --> 00:24:22,759 those trucks with a ramp thingy and a car was not paying attention driving down 367 00:24:22,799 --> 00:24:26,319 the road, basically goes up the ramp of this truck and just flies into 368 00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:30,680 this crash. Oh my gosh, No, I didn't know. The driver 369 00:24:30,079 --> 00:24:36,920 fortunately somehow survived, which is amazing. But it was caught on a police 370 00:24:37,599 --> 00:24:41,559 a dashcam, body cam footage. It was just I mean, this video 371 00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:48,319 is everywhere. And then there's the President Biden falling, which that video is 372 00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:52,720 everywhere, and I do have to ask. So he he was on stage, 373 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:57,319 he did the commencements, the commencement and Colorado springs, yes, So 374 00:24:57,599 --> 00:25:00,279 he shakes hands with one of the debts and then goes to take a step, 375 00:25:00,319 --> 00:25:06,200 trips over a sandbag that was on stage holding the one of the monitors 376 00:25:06,279 --> 00:25:11,200 there, and he falls. Is this We've all fallen? Come on, 377 00:25:11,319 --> 00:25:14,400 let's be real, like I've tripped over the floor itself. But it's this 378 00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:18,880 bad because it's the President of the United States? Is it bad because it's 379 00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:23,400 President Biden who's already under a microscope and people are kind of addressing the issue 380 00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:30,880 of his age. Why is this specific? One? Have so many people 381 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:34,599 chiming in on social media because of this viral video for this. I think 382 00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:40,720 there's a couple of things going on. Number One, watching that video just 383 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:45,839 and this has nothing to do with politics. This is about heart. This 384 00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:48,319 is not about me trying to make fun of him because I don't agree with 385 00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:51,640 his politics. I don't agree with his politics. But when you see him 386 00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:53,680 walking off the stage, he looks like he's shuffling and then he falls, 387 00:25:53,839 --> 00:25:57,839 and I think anybody who's seen that reminds us of that older person who is 388 00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:02,440 having trouble. And the fact that fell hard he felt. I mean, 389 00:26:02,559 --> 00:26:04,319 I was like, because I was telling you I was serving jury du do 390 00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:07,480 this week, so I didn't get to see it, And as soon as 391 00:26:07,519 --> 00:26:08,440 I turned my phone on, it was like bling, bling, bling, 392 00:26:08,519 --> 00:26:11,599 I mean, all these different alis. Joe Biden takes a fall, and 393 00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:14,359 so you look at it and you go, oh my god, I can 394 00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:15,480 imagine. I mean, I felt terrible for him. It looked like he 395 00:26:15,559 --> 00:26:18,599 was probably bleeding. He probably you know, three people picking him up and 396 00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:22,799 putting him in the crowd. There was a woman who's smiling back there. 397 00:26:22,799 --> 00:26:26,920 I don't know what that was all about. And it was so that was 398 00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:30,480 that was hard. And you're already seeing that he trips a lot, You're 399 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:34,960 already having the evidence that he's not quite the same robust man that he was 400 00:26:36,079 --> 00:26:38,799 before. And so I think there is there are people who are going to 401 00:26:38,839 --> 00:26:41,519 say this is evidence that he's not equipped to do this job. And of 402 00:26:41,599 --> 00:26:45,480 course everybody falls, it's just the way that he fell I think was very 403 00:26:45,519 --> 00:26:49,839 indicative. He looked like he was well. It really is. And again 404 00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:52,880 this is not like you said, it's not about his politics or anything. 405 00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:57,160 But he fell so hard it looked like he could have broken a hip. 406 00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:02,000 And I don't mean that's not ages he is a but even just regardless of 407 00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:06,240 age, like if I fell that hard sideways, I probably would have broken 408 00:27:06,319 --> 00:27:12,559 my hip or at least you're very it was very hard fall. It was 409 00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:15,480 just it was not good. And of course, and it makes me sad 410 00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:19,920 because as much as again I think that Biden's family is corrupt, I think 411 00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:22,720 that he himself is corrupt, and I think that he is not a good 412 00:27:22,759 --> 00:27:26,359 president. Probably the worst of my lifetime, and I was a baby during 413 00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:30,160 the Carter administration. I will say all of those things about Joe Biden, 414 00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:34,839 but I don't think it does well for America. I don't think it does 415 00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:41,039 well for him to be in a position, you know, where he's hurting 416 00:27:41,079 --> 00:27:42,680 himself. And I don't know if that continues. I don't know, you 417 00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:45,240 know, I guess it'll be up to the people, the voters, perhaps 418 00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:49,160 to see if that's appropriate. It's just it is hard to watch. And 419 00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:52,279 you watch that, and I think you couple that with Diane Einstein, who's 420 00:27:52,279 --> 00:27:56,759 a senator from my home state of California, who was out of Congress for 421 00:27:56,880 --> 00:28:00,720 three months because she had complications of shingle shit the lightest and when she returned 422 00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:04,720 to Congress, she looked she was presenting symptoms of a stroke like her I 423 00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:10,160 was shut, she had a drooping face. She had a reporter ask her, 424 00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:12,559 you know how she was feeling after being gone for so long, and 425 00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:15,519 she said, I haven't been gone. I mean, she's not even aware 426 00:28:15,519 --> 00:28:18,480 of where she is at this point. And so at what point do we 427 00:28:18,759 --> 00:28:26,599 start talking about humanity and not politics? And actually, yes, exactly looking 428 00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:27,599 at all the well, a little bit of humanity. How about a good 429 00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:34,799 news story. There is a sherpa who was taking a client up Everest to 430 00:28:36,319 --> 00:28:41,799 Summit Everest and pretty much ends up calling off the summit to save a life. 431 00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:47,200 They came across another climber who was in the quote unquote death zone and 432 00:28:47,759 --> 00:28:52,759 just clinging to rope and shivering. And it's one of those things that when 433 00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:56,160 people get to a certain point of everest, if something happens, they are 434 00:28:56,240 --> 00:29:03,079 not going to be rescued. There's just there's it's just very unlikely for it 435 00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:07,960 to happen. There are temperatures of eighty six degrees but negative eighty six degrees 436 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:14,039 fahrenheit, the altitude level, the oxygen levels that are there, the steepness, 437 00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:15,279 all of that. It's and that's why they call it the death stone, 438 00:29:15,279 --> 00:29:18,799 where if something happens to you during this period of time, you are 439 00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:22,480 probably not going to make it. Yeah, in this climber thought that they 440 00:29:22,519 --> 00:29:26,359 were not going to make it, and so the serpa comes across them while 441 00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:30,759 navigating their client, and it convinces the client to give up the summon attempt 442 00:29:30,799 --> 00:29:33,039 so that they can rescue this person. And the client is like, yes, 443 00:29:33,119 --> 00:29:37,480 absolutely, we need to save the life. Well, for six hours, 444 00:29:37,079 --> 00:29:41,039 this sherpa hauled the climber about nineteen hundred feet in a sleeping mat before 445 00:29:41,079 --> 00:29:45,039 another guid who was able to join the rescue efforts, and then the two 446 00:29:45,079 --> 00:29:48,559 of them took turns carrying the man on their backs the rest of the way 447 00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:51,480 down, well not even the rest of the way down. They only made 448 00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:55,359 it to camp number three and then the climber was airlifted to base camp. 449 00:29:56,200 --> 00:30:00,039 Wow, like that's incredible, so scary. If it's such a good news 450 00:30:00,039 --> 00:30:03,880 story that this climber is absolutely able to make it. I love that people 451 00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:07,480 health, Thank you goodness. Yet so it's great business time for Calidron. 452 00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:11,119 I would think the phones would be ringing off the hook and people would be 453 00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:15,599 ordering nauseum. That's right. You know, it'll be twenty five years this 454 00:30:15,839 --> 00:30:21,759 April, and we've been helping customers lose weight safely and effectively for twenty five 455 00:30:21,839 --> 00:30:23,599 years. So if you need to lose away, you've really kind of check 456 00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:26,640 it out on our website tooplost dot com, because, like Doug said, 457 00:30:27,039 --> 00:30:32,000 it's so much more than just a white lost product. I mean, we're 458 00:30:32,079 --> 00:30:34,920 not talking about a quick, fake bad product. There are no drugs, 459 00:30:36,079 --> 00:30:40,640 there are no stimulants. Our number one agree as collagen protein. It's got 460 00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:44,160 types one and three. That's for the muscle and the joints. All right, 461 00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:48,039 and don't forget the ninety nineties special right now, use the DJV code 462 00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:55,079 for free shipping as well, djvcode at toploss dot com and the get Fit 463 00:30:55,319 --> 00:30:59,640 contest that sounds like it would be kind of fun. Calidron at toploss dot 464 00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:03,559 com. Thanks to Elizabeth Miller here one of the great Caldron consultants at toblas 465 00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:10,039 dot com joining me now our auto expert, Nick Miles are autoexpert dot com 466 00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:14,839 is where you can get more information. Welcome Nick, Good morning. I 467 00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:17,759 don't get to talk to you very often. I'm so excited for this. 468 00:31:18,559 --> 00:31:22,519 I know it runs us out. I think Doug keeps us apart on purpose. 469 00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:26,240 I know probably. So you are in Huntington Beach, California at the 470 00:31:26,319 --> 00:31:30,519 moment, and it is for a big reveal. Huh. Yes, absolutely. 471 00:31:30,599 --> 00:31:36,599 We've been hearing about this since two thousand and sixteen, and finally VW 472 00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:44,279 is unveiling the American version of the VW Buzz Buzz, which is the new 473 00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:48,119 bus, the new microbus, the new the original minivan, the van that 474 00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:52,680 everybody jumped in in the seventies and disappeared off to the coast with. It's 475 00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:56,680 in so many movies, but the new version is back. It's all electric 476 00:31:56,799 --> 00:32:00,759 and it's actually really cool. I got to see it night for the first 477 00:32:00,799 --> 00:32:04,000 time. Oh, that's exciting. No, I do have to ask something 478 00:32:04,039 --> 00:32:08,200 I think Doug would ask. Will it be equipped with AM radio? Yes, 479 00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:14,160 as far as I know, VW have no plans to extinguish AM radio 480 00:32:14,319 --> 00:32:19,400 whatsoever. They're keeping the AM radio bands alive and well. But it will 481 00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:22,799 be equipped with a lot more as well. We don't know much about the 482 00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:25,119 mechanicals of it. And they're the boring parts, right. We used to 483 00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:30,680 call them the oily parts before things became electric, but they're they're the boring 484 00:32:30,759 --> 00:32:35,279 parts. We do know that it will have three rows. The third row 485 00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:39,039 is removable, and I got to sit in those rows yesterday and sort of 486 00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:45,799 tool around a little bit. They're actually very cool because they slide eight inches 487 00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:49,400 forward and back, which is great for somebody that has a car seat or 488 00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:52,519 somebody that wants, you know, a kid with extrallent length legs to sit 489 00:32:52,559 --> 00:32:57,319 in the back. And they've all got like USB ports, and there's there's 490 00:32:57,359 --> 00:33:00,039 the option of having this panoramic sun river of you, so you can lie 491 00:33:00,119 --> 00:33:04,559 on your back and watch the palm trees go by as mom and dad drive 492 00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:07,599 you to the beach. All the cool things that we know that the bus 493 00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:12,920 should have. Oh that's awesome, that's so cool. I remember being younger. 494 00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:15,119 Of course it's illegal now, but if you were writing in the back 495 00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:22,519 seat of the van and the seats behind seats could fold backwards and you could 496 00:33:22,559 --> 00:33:24,440 just lay there and hang out and look out the back window. And of 497 00:33:24,519 --> 00:33:28,640 course the se bult wasn't on because the sepult didn't work that way. Again, 498 00:33:28,759 --> 00:33:31,319 it's illegal now, but with that panoramic ceiling, that that roof that 499 00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:36,640 can come down, all that just brings it all back. Yeah, it's 500 00:33:36,759 --> 00:33:39,480 kind of fun too. And one of the things that VW have done Jay 501 00:33:39,519 --> 00:33:43,640 which I think is really cool, as they put lots of little Easter eggs 502 00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:45,720 in the vehicle, so lots of cool things that it does that you can 503 00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:50,200 can do. So in the center there's a center console between the driver and 504 00:33:50,279 --> 00:33:53,000 the passenger, and that actually is removable. It's two like switches. You 505 00:33:53,079 --> 00:33:57,599 can pick it up and actually take it out so it comes out, which 506 00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:00,000 means then you can have a walk through there, which I love about those 507 00:34:00,039 --> 00:34:02,799 old buses. You'll be able to walk from the back seat and then get 508 00:34:02,839 --> 00:34:07,240 in the front seat without having to climb over anything. That was always super 509 00:34:07,319 --> 00:34:10,239 cool. And then they also have like these little removable pieces in it, 510 00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:15,440 so one of them removes and becomes an ice scraper in case your windshield freezes 511 00:34:15,519 --> 00:34:17,920 op over, and the other one removes in is a bottle opener. Not 512 00:34:19,039 --> 00:34:21,480 that you'd be drinking beer while you're in this thing, but you know, 513 00:34:21,559 --> 00:34:24,239 it's kind of cool. Those glass bottle cokes. Yeah, those are bottle 514 00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:29,400 opener. Yeah. And there's lots of little things like that in the vehicle. 515 00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:32,559 It has sliding doors on the side like your minivan may have had in 516 00:34:32,639 --> 00:34:37,639 the day. And it also has sort of very very cool little logos of 517 00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:44,679 VW's hidden throughout the vehicle, so they're either etched on the windshield or molded 518 00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:49,199 into their plastic. And the colors that they've chosen, I'm glad to say 519 00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:53,039 that these are Germans obviously who invented this, that designed it. But there 520 00:34:53,119 --> 00:34:58,000 are not fifty shades of gray. They actually only have one black, white 521 00:34:58,079 --> 00:35:00,960 and gray palette. The rest are all super bright colors, like a blue 522 00:35:01,119 --> 00:35:06,199 and a green and a yellow and a red, which really excites me because 523 00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:09,000 that means that people are going to enjoy themselves and have fun in these vehicles. 524 00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:14,840 Now does it have the VW, the little flower base that the bugs 525 00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:19,400 have. No, no, not quite. It does have the big old 526 00:35:19,599 --> 00:35:22,719 logo that you used to have on the front, which is the size of 527 00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:25,440 a dinner plate, which is kind of cool, but for twenty twenty four, 528 00:35:25,559 --> 00:35:30,239 which is when this vehicle will be coming out, that does actually light 529 00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:34,679 up. And then there's things like interior lighting. There's a great sound system, 530 00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:37,280 which I think those old ones you were lucky if you know, you 531 00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:40,840 actually had speakers that worked, because something had always gone wrong with them in 532 00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:45,480 the front door. It will be a little more technically advanced. I kind 533 00:35:45,519 --> 00:35:50,079 of worked out the numbers. It'll do somewhere around two hundred and fifty two 534 00:35:50,159 --> 00:35:53,079 hundred and sixty miles on a single charge, which is kind of fun. 535 00:35:53,559 --> 00:35:59,000 But the price is the part that really worries me. I'm thinking that the 536 00:35:59,119 --> 00:36:02,719 original was about two thousand, two hundred dollars in nineteen fifty one. This 537 00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:07,280 one's probably going to be about thirty times more than that. We're looking at 538 00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:12,559 probably somewhere around sixty k oh wow. Well, but I mean it sounds 539 00:36:12,599 --> 00:36:15,440 like it might be worth the price tag, So that's awesome, absolutely, 540 00:36:16,039 --> 00:36:20,440 Nick, Thank you so much again.
