I 4 00:00:11.519 --> 00:00:14.560 have animosity towards But anyway, I'm talking to my mom 5 00:00:14.599 --> 00:00:17.320 and we were talking about traffic and I was on 6 00:00:17.359 --> 00:00:21.480 the West Side on Wednesday afternoon. Got out of a 7 00:00:21.559 --> 00:00:24.199 movie about five point fifteen, so I had to go 8 00:00:24.239 --> 00:00:29.640 back to the San Gabriel Valley in rush hour and 9 00:00:30.079 --> 00:00:32.679 working my way by the time I got through downtown La. 10 00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:35.280 I mean, I'm trying to be chill. I've got like 11 00:00:35.320 --> 00:00:38.039 a podcast on. I'm just like, I'm chilled. It's a 12 00:00:38.039 --> 00:00:41.200 beautiful day. And then all of a sudden, some woman 13 00:00:41.240 --> 00:00:45.520 didn't let me in or something, and just things that 14 00:00:45.799 --> 00:00:48.960 came out of my mouth. And my mom had the same, 15 00:00:49.560 --> 00:00:52.240 the same experience she had. She was going to the 16 00:00:52.240 --> 00:00:54.520 theater in San Francisco or whatever, and she's like, and 17 00:00:54.560 --> 00:00:56.920 I just started swearing, and I was like, the same 18 00:00:56.960 --> 00:00:59.920 thing happened to me. Where these things the most are 19 00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:05.239 full or lack of art expletives, string of explatives that 20 00:01:05.280 --> 00:01:07.400 came out of my mouth. I wish I was shocked 21 00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:09.920 at what I was saying out loud. And sometimes that 22 00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:13.799 happens when your ex fiance comes out in conversation and 23 00:01:13.840 --> 00:01:15.400 I say these things my. 24 00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:18.000 Ex fiance, Yeah, you have never met and. 25 00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:19.840 I say these things, and I'm like, you don't even 26 00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:20.719 know this woman. 27 00:01:22.079 --> 00:01:22.719 My god. 28 00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:25.719 See that's how you know I'm a good take that. 29 00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:27.480 I was going to say, you're protective of your friend. 30 00:01:27.640 --> 00:01:28.480 I appreciate that. 31 00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:32.319 Hey, guys, is any way we could read visit the 32 00:01:33.200 --> 00:01:36.359 fall in Yesterday of the crazy ex lovers in about 33 00:01:36.359 --> 00:01:39.519 six months and hopes that either Elon or Donald will 34 00:01:39.560 --> 00:01:40.799 call in and tell their story. 35 00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:43.480 I know, right, I know they listen to you, guys, 36 00:01:43.519 --> 00:01:44.079 So true. 37 00:01:44.239 --> 00:01:45.000 That would be funny. 38 00:01:45.040 --> 00:01:48.920 Okay, So here's the thing about the Orange County DA 39 00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:53.000 Todd Spitzer. I covered Todd Spitzer when he was a 40 00:01:53.239 --> 00:01:58.239 fallen out of Grace DA twenty years ago, and Todd 41 00:01:58.280 --> 00:02:00.920 Spitzer gave me the feeling in my gut that I 42 00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:03.480 feel when I want to run the other way from 43 00:02:03.519 --> 00:02:07.879 people and it never lets me down. There are people 44 00:02:08.240 --> 00:02:11.120 on our station that have Todd Spitzer on all the time. 45 00:02:11.639 --> 00:02:13.719 He's the DA of Orange County. He's in the news 46 00:02:13.759 --> 00:02:16.400 all the time. I understand it. I will not have 47 00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:19.840 him on because he creeps me out. There's something in 48 00:02:19.879 --> 00:02:22.000 my gut that tells me to run the other way, 49 00:02:22.039 --> 00:02:26.080 and it always has and then this story comes up. 50 00:02:28.039 --> 00:02:32.319 A jury has found that Todd Spitzer harassed and retaliated 51 00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:36.599 against a high ranking female prosecutor in the ocda's office 52 00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:40.240 after she raised concerns about his conduct and tried to 53 00:02:40.280 --> 00:02:44.319 protect other prosecutors who were sexually harassed by one of 54 00:02:44.360 --> 00:02:48.319 his buddies, another superior in the office. This is a 55 00:02:48.360 --> 00:02:51.280 civil jury. It does not need to be unanimous in 56 00:02:51.319 --> 00:02:54.520 this case. The jury voted tended to toward punitive damages 57 00:02:54.599 --> 00:02:59.919 against Todd Spitzer. The jury also found that the cow 58 00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:03.199 he did not take reasonable steps to prevent workplace harassment 59 00:03:03.520 --> 00:03:07.520 and that they took adverse employment action against this woman, 60 00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:10.960 Tracy Miller, who was at one point the highest ranking 61 00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:16.360 woman in the prosecutor's office. Her attorney is John Barnett. Yeah, 62 00:03:16.400 --> 00:03:17.879 that John Barnett. 63 00:03:17.560 --> 00:03:20.120 Has been around for a long yeas both covered cases 64 00:03:20.120 --> 00:03:22.159 where John Barnett has been involved, right. 65 00:03:22.159 --> 00:03:25.560 And he said that Tracy Miller had the fortitude to 66 00:03:25.599 --> 00:03:28.199 resist the most powerful law enforcement person in the county 67 00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:32.319 and she prevailed. The juries saw that she was right. 68 00:03:32.759 --> 00:03:36.840 They found Spitzer and former chief Assistant District Attorney Sean 69 00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:41.319 Nelson liable for three million in damages, including one point 70 00:03:41.360 --> 00:03:43.759 five million for past emotional distress. 71 00:03:44.599 --> 00:03:46.680 They also said that Spitzer himself was going to be 72 00:03:46.759 --> 00:03:50.479 liable for that additional twenty five thousand in punitive damages 73 00:03:51.800 --> 00:03:54.319 Spitzer DA. Spitzer put out a statement. He said, I 74 00:03:54.360 --> 00:03:57.199 accept full responsibility for any and all actions which occur 75 00:03:57.240 --> 00:04:01.120 in my administration, including my own acts and the actions 76 00:04:01.120 --> 00:04:04.439 of my former chief assistant DA. Sean Nelson said he 77 00:04:04.479 --> 00:04:06.479 didn't make any meant in this statement, didn't say anything 78 00:04:06.479 --> 00:04:09.879 about the actual allegations or harassment, etc. But said that 79 00:04:09.919 --> 00:04:12.080 he said a very high standard I expected all my 80 00:04:12.120 --> 00:04:16.639 employees to meet, and Ms Miller was overseeing extremely important assignments. 81 00:04:17.279 --> 00:04:19.959 He went on to say that he was frustrated with 82 00:04:20.120 --> 00:04:23.399 her lack of performance in a couple of those cases, 83 00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:27.839 said I respect the decision from the jury. I'm also 84 00:04:27.920 --> 00:04:30.079 heartbroken over the fact that any of my actions would 85 00:04:30.079 --> 00:04:32.199 have been interpreted as anything other than a good faith 86 00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:36.399 effort to clean up corruption in the ocda's office. 87 00:04:36.480 --> 00:04:38.560 So I'm reading between the lines. It seems like this 88 00:04:38.600 --> 00:04:41.319 woman Tracy Miller had a set of brass balls, and 89 00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:44.519 she didn't like that other women were being retaliated against 90 00:04:44.600 --> 00:04:47.240 if they were not playing along with his buddy guy 91 00:04:47.319 --> 00:04:50.680 by the name of Gary Lagalbo, a former supervisor friends 92 00:04:50.680 --> 00:04:55.680 with Todd Spitzer, that he kind of maybe was a 93 00:04:55.680 --> 00:04:59.720 bit of a fief and that there were some women 94 00:04:59.759 --> 00:05:04.240 who I didn't like working under Gary, and that since 95 00:05:04.240 --> 00:05:07.240 he was friends with Spitzer, who was untouchable, she seems 96 00:05:07.240 --> 00:05:11.560 to have stucks stuck up, stuck up for maybe these 97 00:05:11.600 --> 00:05:15.759 women who were who were sidelined or were not given 98 00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:17.560 the good cases because they didn't want to play along 99 00:05:17.639 --> 00:05:20.360 something of that nature, and they took it out on 100 00:05:20.759 --> 00:05:24.120 Tracy Miller. That's just reading between the lines. That's what 101 00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:28.439 it seems like. It is a very highly charged environment, 102 00:05:28.959 --> 00:05:34.040 high profile cases, massive office, very challenging, very demanding, a 103 00:05:34.120 --> 00:05:38.399 lot of ego, a lot of strong wills there. But 104 00:05:38.519 --> 00:05:41.319 they said in her testimony, Tracy Miller said that both 105 00:05:41.360 --> 00:05:44.920 Todd Spitzer and this guy or Sean Nelson, the number 106 00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:48.839 two in the office, I guess chief Assistant District Attorney 107 00:05:48.839 --> 00:05:53.399 Sean Nelson, that they both used gender base slurs, that 108 00:05:53.439 --> 00:05:56.879 they disrespected her and undermined her authority in the office. Now, 109 00:05:56.920 --> 00:05:58.680 this is one of those things where did they use 110 00:05:58.720 --> 00:06:01.800 gender base slurs to her or about her in front 111 00:06:01.800 --> 00:06:03.759 of other people? I don't know. 112 00:06:04.839 --> 00:06:07.639 She testified also that that Sean Nelson, who I think 113 00:06:07.720 --> 00:06:12.759 is now a judge, as actually that Sean Nelson's actions 114 00:06:12.879 --> 00:06:15.959 raised problems in the DA's office after the allegations of 115 00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:19.560 harassment were made. For example, that during a sexual harassment 116 00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:22.720 training session for managers, Sean Nelson stood up and said 117 00:06:22.720 --> 00:06:26.560 there were no victims. Well, I mean, out of context, 118 00:06:26.560 --> 00:06:29.680 that's kind of a weird statement to make. But was 119 00:06:29.720 --> 00:06:34.800 he suggesting that sexual harassment doesn't exist, or that in 120 00:06:34.879 --> 00:06:38.399 the ocda's office there were no victims of sexual harassment, 121 00:06:39.439 --> 00:06:39.879 she said. 122 00:06:39.920 --> 00:06:43.279 Tracy Miller said that Todd Spitzer targeted her and criticized 123 00:06:43.279 --> 00:06:47.720 her for writing notes during executive meetings. He testified, you 124 00:06:47.720 --> 00:06:49.839 could see any time a subject came up, Tracy was 125 00:06:49.879 --> 00:06:52.240 taking notes about our meetings. There was a point of 126 00:06:52.279 --> 00:06:53.920 time where it was very curious to me, why do 127 00:06:53.920 --> 00:06:57.399 you seem to be memorizing everything we're doing. Memorializing everything 128 00:06:57.439 --> 00:07:00.839 we're doing. That's very common. In fact, that's some of 129 00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:03.759 the advice you get if you're in a management structure, 130 00:07:04.199 --> 00:07:08.000 to take notes of every meeting you have with everyone, 131 00:07:08.600 --> 00:07:11.879 so there's a written record that you can refer back 132 00:07:11.920 --> 00:07:15.319 to should anything come up. It's a cover your ass 133 00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:20.079 move and a smart one to take if you're in management. Also, 134 00:07:20.120 --> 00:07:22.160 to have somebody else in the room with you, so 135 00:07:22.199 --> 00:07:25.759 that you're not going to be able to be taken 136 00:07:25.879 --> 00:07:29.079 down if somebody underneath you comes and says so, and 137 00:07:29.639 --> 00:07:31.759 my boss did this and did this to me, and 138 00:07:31.800 --> 00:07:34.120 it was a closed door meeting, what have you. Well, 139 00:07:34.160 --> 00:07:36.240 if you have somebody else in there and there's notes 140 00:07:36.279 --> 00:07:40.439 being taken about what exactly is said, then you avoid that. 141 00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:43.879 And so that is a very common thing. And the 142 00:07:43.920 --> 00:07:46.279 fact that he had a problem with her taking notes 143 00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:49.680 to me raises a red flag. Well, the other red 144 00:07:49.680 --> 00:07:53.360 flag is that Todd Spitzer testified multiple days during this 145 00:07:53.519 --> 00:07:57.079 trial and denies all the accusations, by the way, and 146 00:07:57.240 --> 00:07:59.600 he talks about how hard it was for him when 147 00:07:59.680 --> 00:08:03.839 he took over the office after Tony Rococcus left, and 148 00:08:03.839 --> 00:08:06.160 that there are people still loyal to Tony Rococcus, and 149 00:08:06.199 --> 00:08:10.040 that happens in every office, right, but still people loyal 150 00:08:10.079 --> 00:08:13.480 to Tony Roccus and Todd Spitzer starts crying on the stand. 151 00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:15.319 I knew it was going to be miserable, and it 152 00:08:15.439 --> 00:08:19.279 was miserable, wiping away tears at one point, Calm the 153 00:08:19.639 --> 00:08:22.560 f on, give me a break. What an e You 154 00:08:22.560 --> 00:08:26.199 know he is a showman, make no mistake about it, 155 00:08:26.319 --> 00:08:28.920 But what a sad acting role. You're gonna cry over 156 00:08:28.959 --> 00:08:31.199 the fact that people in your office, in the DA's 157 00:08:31.240 --> 00:08:34.000 office were loyal to Tony Rocaccus, who had been in 158 00:08:34.000 --> 00:08:36.320 the office for twenty Come on and this by that 159 00:08:36.320 --> 00:08:37.360 that's going to make you cry. 160 00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:40.759 Guests here, three million dollars in damages is the tip 161 00:08:40.759 --> 00:08:43.320 of the iceberg. The county is still looking at eight 162 00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:47.360 other sexual harassment lawsuits that involve allegations that were made 163 00:08:47.360 --> 00:08:51.679 against Gary legalbo. Yeah who again a friend of Todd Spitzer, 164 00:08:51.799 --> 00:08:54.159 Todd Spitcher's best many club. 165 00:08:54.399 --> 00:08:56.600 Yeah, that's just the way it is. I mean, listen, 166 00:08:56.639 --> 00:08:58.080 it's not a boy I'm not saying it's a boys 167 00:08:58.120 --> 00:09:00.799 club and that women are going to struggle or what 168 00:09:00.919 --> 00:09:02.679 have you.

It's still up in the air. It's not 186 00:10:06.519 --> 00:10:09.279 been finalized. It has passed a couple of floor votes 187 00:10:09.600 --> 00:10:12.000 in Sacramento, but it's not clear yet how it's going 188 00:10:12.039 --> 00:10:15.840 to be impacted by the budget that they're still working on, 189 00:10:16.240 --> 00:10:21.159 the tariffs that exist, the recovery, wildfire recovery efforts and 190 00:10:21.200 --> 00:10:24.679 everything that's going on. But the plan would be if successful. 191 00:10:25.080 --> 00:10:27.399 The seven hundred and fifty million dollars film tax credit 192 00:10:27.440 --> 00:10:30.320 plan would offer the thirty five percent tax rate to 193 00:10:30.399 --> 00:10:33.879 LA based productions. It would increase the program's cap from 194 00:10:33.919 --> 00:10:36.919 three thirty three hundred and thirty million up to seven 195 00:10:37.000 --> 00:10:42.759 hundred and fifty million. The governor also suggested a federal plan, 196 00:10:42.879 --> 00:10:45.039 a national plan that would be about seven and a 197 00:10:45.080 --> 00:10:50.039 half billion for film and TV national tax incentive programs, 198 00:10:50.799 --> 00:10:54.200 again funded through the federal government. That would be a 199 00:10:54.240 --> 00:10:57.919 great day, in all honesty, if you had Gavin Newsom 200 00:10:58.039 --> 00:11:01.120 and Donald Trump celebrating the passage of a seven and 201 00:11:01.159 --> 00:11:05.919 a half billion dollar national tax incentive program. That would 202 00:11:05.960 --> 00:11:08.799 go a long way to bridging gaps for people. But 203 00:11:10.919 --> 00:11:13.279 John Voight has talked about at least last month, he 204 00:11:13.360 --> 00:11:16.559 was talking about more of a carrot stick approach to 205 00:11:17.440 --> 00:11:22.879 keeping production in southern California, mixing the tax incentives, the 206 00:11:22.919 --> 00:11:26.080 foreign film tariffs, and co production treaties to try to 207 00:11:26.159 --> 00:11:30.480 encourage a US movie production. So Gavin Newsom has been 208 00:11:32.799 --> 00:11:36.440 he would love to be able to campaign for president 209 00:11:36.679 --> 00:11:43.919 on the very flashy platform of I was able to 210 00:11:43.919 --> 00:11:47.360 save the California film industry. Did he save the FELA? 211 00:11:47.639 --> 00:11:49.799 I mean, who knows, but it would be a feather 212 00:11:49.840 --> 00:11:52.639 in his cap if, in fact, he wanted when I 213 00:11:52.679 --> 00:11:55.080 should say, when he runs for president, he wants to 214 00:11:55.159 --> 00:11:57.000 be able to say that he could save the California 215 00:11:57.000 --> 00:11:57.639 film industry. 216 00:11:58.399 --> 00:12:01.159 Well, does John Voyd as eighty six years old? Yeah, 217 00:12:01.279 --> 00:12:04.600 not as old as or I should say, President Trump. No, 218 00:12:04.679 --> 00:12:07.120 he's older than President Trump. Oh, not as old as 219 00:12:07.200 --> 00:12:09.720 yet no. Yeah, yeah, but I mean, you know, you 220 00:12:09.720 --> 00:12:11.919 put John Voight next to President Trump, Trump's looking a 221 00:12:11.960 --> 00:12:13.679 little young, you know, a little anger. 222 00:12:15.039 --> 00:12:20.080 Is he going to be eighty? Yeah, in twenty seven, 223 00:12:20.799 --> 00:12:23.320 twenty seven, he'll be eighty, I think. 224 00:12:23.879 --> 00:12:27.399 Yeah, his birthday is coming up. It's a June fourteen, 225 00:12:27.480 --> 00:12:30.840 eight days. Yeah. Are we gonna have that military parade? 226 00:12:31.320 --> 00:12:35.480 Yep? We are? Huh yep, Wow, to the point where 227 00:12:35.240 --> 00:12:37.799 they're they're talking about the amount of damage that it's 228 00:12:37.799 --> 00:12:40.360 about to do to the streets of Washington, d C. 229 00:12:41.039 --> 00:12:45.919 Because you've got giant, heavy military tanks going through Washington, 230 00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:50.440 d C. They'll have to put steel plates down, and 231 00:12:50.720 --> 00:12:53.399 they're going to shut down Reaga National Airport for a 232 00:12:53.440 --> 00:12:58.600 few hours during that during that parade. Yeah, I'm still 233 00:12:58.639 --> 00:13:02.200 on June fourteenth, the expectation for that.

I mean, Twitter was 293 00:15:54.399 --> 00:16:00.639 a wonderful, wonderful place to be yesterday, very entertaining. Now 294 00:16:00.679 --> 00:16:05.240 here's the latest. Guys. If you were fired by Doge, 295 00:16:05.519 --> 00:16:10.039 you're in the federal government, you got asked stand by. 296 00:16:10.679 --> 00:16:16.840 One email that has already surfaced reads notice of reduction 297 00:16:17.000 --> 00:16:21.000 in force issued to you is officially rescinded in all caps, 298 00:16:21.440 --> 00:16:24.960 and you will not be separated from employment. Apparently the 299 00:16:25.000 --> 00:16:30.000 government is scrambling to rehire workers fired by Doge. If 300 00:16:30.000 --> 00:16:34.679 Elon fired you, we want you back, allegedly, is the 301 00:16:34.720 --> 00:16:39.399 new narrative playing out across the government. According to the 302 00:16:39.519 --> 00:16:43.720 Washington Post, the Trump administration is scrambling to rehire many 303 00:16:43.759 --> 00:16:49.399 federal employees dismissed under Doze's staff slashing initiatives after wiping 304 00:16:49.399 --> 00:16:58.000 out entire offices. So stay tuned. 305 00:16:59.559 --> 00:17:01.720 You may have to go back to work on Monday, and. 306 00:17:01.799 --> 00:17:03.320 I think that a lot of people want to go 307 00:17:03.399 --> 00:17:05.319 back to work that have been fired. 308 00:17:07.400 --> 00:17:10.400 Michael Monks is here. I am back at work myself 309 00:17:10.720 --> 00:17:13.440 after a little little vacation from you. Really, where'd you go? 310 00:17:14.880 --> 00:17:17.920 Take a guess. You're wearing a Carmel sweatshirt. 311 00:17:17.960 --> 00:17:19.400 I feel like one of those people that goes to 312 00:17:19.440 --> 00:17:22.440 Fisherman Wharf and buys the shirt that says Fisherman Wharf 313 00:17:22.480 --> 00:17:23.720 and then wears it around. 314 00:17:24.079 --> 00:17:26.079 You know, you've got to support the local economy that 315 00:17:26.119 --> 00:17:28.839 you're visiting. It's a good point, but you're also living 316 00:17:28.839 --> 00:17:29.599 in California. 317 00:17:29.680 --> 00:17:32.599 You're a teenage girl from China, Like what's going on? 318 00:17:32.839 --> 00:17:34.599 I was for Halloween three years ago and I was 319 00:17:34.640 --> 00:17:36.079 canceled for it and that's why I live here. 320 00:17:36.680 --> 00:17:41.039 Well, it can make it a comeback. He's literally wearing 321 00:17:41.039 --> 00:17:46.960 a sweats corner tourist stores that says Carmel California and 322 00:17:47.079 --> 00:17:50.440 even says California and block lettering along the sleeve. 323 00:17:50.200 --> 00:17:54.119 On the street. It's a beautiful sort of a maroon whatt. 324 00:17:53.920 --> 00:17:56.160 Shirts that falls apart with one wall. 325 00:17:56.279 --> 00:17:58.759 I washed it yesterday, you did, because I already wore 326 00:17:58.799 --> 00:18:02.359 this once. I wore this Carmel sweatshirt in Carmel. Come 327 00:18:02.400 --> 00:18:04.319 at me, You're not strong to. 328 00:18:04.400 --> 00:18:07.119 Be an extra large, and now it's an extra tall. 329 00:18:08.799 --> 00:18:11.759 I wear this because this was my first trip to Carmel. 330 00:18:11.839 --> 00:18:15.160 I'd never seen Carmels. Spouse had wanted to go up 331 00:18:15.160 --> 00:18:17.119 there for a while. We checked it out. We've been there. 332 00:18:17.400 --> 00:18:19.799 We went Sunday through.

Because I can feel my credit score 339 00:18:36.640 --> 00:18:40.319 going up, I can feel my net worth rising. 340 00:18:40.640 --> 00:18:43.440 But nobody in Carmel would wear a shirt. 341 00:18:43.160 --> 00:18:47.279 That's not that is not you know what people who 342 00:18:47.400 --> 00:18:51.599 vacation in these enclaves absolutely wear. 343 00:18:52.279 --> 00:18:55.480 The people who are not the people that have the high. 344 00:18:55.400 --> 00:18:58.319 Credit score, Yes they are, you know need how many 345 00:18:58.519 --> 00:19:00.920 puffy vests.

We 358 00:19:29.480 --> 00:19:31.279 had a beach day on Wednesday. We sat there, We 359 00:19:31.279 --> 00:19:34.839 put down a picnic blanket and I had a charcouterie board. 360 00:19:34.920 --> 00:19:37.599 Yeah, you know, you gotta do it. 361 00:19:37.599 --> 00:19:39.119 It was it was cloudy, you know, it wasn't a 362 00:19:39.160 --> 00:19:42.599 great beach day.

Mine mind, everything destroyed it. That blanket 376 00:20:25.720 --> 00:20:29.920 was flipped every wishway, covered in dirt, crumbs everywhere. I 377 00:20:30.359 --> 00:20:33.599 may have waved a stick at them, and my Kentucky 378 00:20:33.640 --> 00:20:36.440 came out and they go on, get, go on, get, 379 00:20:37.839 --> 00:20:42.039 But I realized I had no power in Carmel. 380 00:20:42.000 --> 00:20:43.519 Because those seagulls are bigger than you. 381 00:20:43.640 --> 00:20:45.559 There were three dozen of them, and I was scared 382 00:20:45.599 --> 00:20:47.759 that they were going to turn on me like dogs. 383 00:20:48.559 --> 00:20:51.720 So when the couple came back to see the destruyer, 384 00:20:51.759 --> 00:20:53.000 their day was ruined. They had to leave. 385 00:20:54.039 --> 00:20:55.359 How did they react? 386 00:20:55.559 --> 00:20:59.359 They thanked me for my bravery because I oversold myself and. 387 00:20:59.319 --> 00:21:02.440 The explanation I was in the you had such a 388 00:21:02.440 --> 00:21:06.000 beautiful I keep down, you're stupid.

There were so many, and. 391 00:21:10.480 --> 00:21:13.160 They believed me. Yeah, and they thanked me for my heroism. 392 00:21:13.519 --> 00:21:15.319 And then I went and I bought this sweatshirt because 393 00:21:15.319 --> 00:21:17.960 I felt at that moment I had earned this.
