This morning, Chuck Norris passed away. 10 00:00:34.200 --> 00:00:36.960 Oh really, yeah, I thought he. 11 00:00:36.960 --> 00:00:40.399 Was incapable of dying. Yeah, I thought I thought Chuck 12 00:00:40.439 --> 00:00:42.759 Norris was going to live forever exactly. 13 00:00:42.920 --> 00:00:45.600 I think I heard something. Someone made a comment on 14 00:00:45.679 --> 00:00:47.840 a podcast or something the other day that they were 15 00:00:47.840 --> 00:00:50.439 talking about how he was going to live forever like Chuck. 16 00:00:50.479 --> 00:00:54.679 They said, Chuck Norris decides when he goes exactly. So 17 00:00:54.759 --> 00:00:55.320 maybe he did. 18 00:00:56.119 --> 00:00:58.520 Maybe he did get passed away at the ripe old 19 00:00:58.560 --> 00:01:01.520 age of eighty six in Hawaii. 20 00:01:01.880 --> 00:01:03.880 Not a bad place to expire. 21 00:01:04.239 --> 00:01:06.480 Yeah, that's for sure, that's for sure. Well, yeah, yep, 22 00:01:06.799 --> 00:01:08.480 he'll be missed, you know. He was a big part 23 00:01:08.519 --> 00:01:09.680 of my childhood, that's for sure. 24 00:01:10.599 --> 00:01:10.799 Yeah. 25 00:01:11.519 --> 00:01:14.680 And I will also say, before we get cracking, well 26 00:01:14.840 --> 00:01:18.000 not cracking, I've got a coffee.

Yeah, yeah, those guys definitely know how 43 00:02:14.159 --> 00:02:17.520 to work it. They're still working it over there, absolutely. 44 00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:20.520 But talking of working it, I want to hear all about. 45 00:02:20.240 --> 00:02:23.400 Your stories, mate. I've done nothing. I've you know, since 46 00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:26.319 we did the last podcast. I got a sun time 47 00:02:27.080 --> 00:02:31.400 and have flown home and just been doing renovations at home, 48 00:02:31.520 --> 00:02:34.599 but I know you have been working it pretty hard. 49 00:02:35.199 --> 00:02:38.520 Yeah, it's there was a big lull there for a while. 50 00:02:38.919 --> 00:02:43.080 I'm basically the mark version of Jedi's one hundred and 51 00:02:43.120 --> 00:02:48.400 fifty forty six flights in two weeks. That's that's kind 52 00:02:48.400 --> 00:02:50.400 of what it feels like. It just just came out 53 00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:55.080 of nowhere, and it started with the New York Post 54 00:02:55.080 --> 00:02:58.759 and the California Post just given me some day rates 55 00:02:59.199 --> 00:03:01.520 and it starts at the momentum. This business is weird 56 00:03:01.560 --> 00:03:03.800 like that. You're on lulls, you start to get depressed, 57 00:03:03.840 --> 00:03:06.680 you get low on your mojo, that kind of thing, 58 00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:09.599 and it just continues through. It's hard to be positive 59 00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:11.680 when you're not getting anything, you're not working or whatever. 60 00:03:11.759 --> 00:03:14.080 And then all of a sudden you start working again, 61 00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:18.400 you get something, and it just starts momentum. And so yeah, 62 00:03:18.439 --> 00:03:20.400 it's been a crazy little ride. I got a couple 63 00:03:20.439 --> 00:03:25.599 of jobs from the Post to work on the Rhiner Kids, 64 00:03:26.039 --> 00:03:28.560 which we had talked about before another podcast and stuff, 65 00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:31.759 and it was basically the same old thing. But you know, 66 00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:35.199 those kids going out, you know, trying to cope with 67 00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:39.120 their loss. It's kind of hard to shoot. But at 68 00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:43.360 the same time, I think they expect it. So you know, 69 00:03:43.960 --> 00:03:46.439 it is what it is. It is our business and 70 00:03:46.759 --> 00:03:50.039 it is what we have to do. Since then, it's 71 00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:53.639 been just day rates out of town, day rates driving 72 00:03:53.680 --> 00:03:56.960 out of town, lots of two hour drives, three hour drives, 73 00:03:57.360 --> 00:04:01.879 traffic horrible. I guess I kind of earned this moment 74 00:04:02.639 --> 00:04:05.120 with all the traffic I had to deal with and stuff. 75 00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:06.719 But yeah, you put the grind in. 76 00:04:07.039 --> 00:04:11.240 But most recently the stuff that everybody out there would 77 00:04:11.479 --> 00:04:16.160 care about would be this bachelorette story. 78 00:04:16.680 --> 00:04:19.240 Or the non bachelorette now. 79 00:04:19.560 --> 00:04:25.240 The Mormon bachelorette. Mormon story. Yeah, crazy. So I was 80 00:04:25.279 --> 00:04:29.720 tasked to go down and work on this. Doug Mason dude, 81 00:04:29.959 --> 00:04:34.720 he's just some you know, Southern California surfer, lifeguard, kind 82 00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:39.319 of all around, just beachy, good dude down in San 83 00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:44.879 Diego area. And went down there, sat on the house, 84 00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:51.439 sat in the neighborhood. Quiet neighborhood, very quiet, not much 85 00:04:51.439 --> 00:04:55.759 going on. Everybody knows everybody. It didn't take more than 86 00:04:55.920 --> 00:05:01.240 an hour and a half before the name I mean, no, 87 00:05:02.240 --> 00:05:05.519 let me go back. I pulled up first spot. Because 88 00:05:05.560 --> 00:05:07.759 you the way we work is you go around, you 89 00:05:07.839 --> 00:05:10.399 drive around the neighborhood. You look for the right spot 90 00:05:10.519 --> 00:05:13.560 where there's either a wall next to you or a 91 00:05:13.560 --> 00:05:17.199 big bush or something where you're not sitting directly in 92 00:05:17.240 --> 00:05:20.000 front of somebody's house. So if they look out their window, 93 00:05:20.040 --> 00:05:22.000 they see this car out there. 94 00:05:22.079 --> 00:05:24.560 So you don't want to be in anyone's direct eyeline. 95 00:05:24.800 --> 00:05:27.959 Yeah, so you kind of drive around the neighborhood and 96 00:05:28.079 --> 00:05:30.199 you have to find a spot where you can watch 97 00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:32.399 the house, so you're kind of far enough away but 98 00:05:32.480 --> 00:05:35.720 close enough in a spot where no one's really curious 99 00:05:35.759 --> 00:05:38.240 about what you're doing there. And you kind of got 100 00:05:38.279 --> 00:05:42.839 to be in a car that's not that doesn't look suspicious, 101 00:05:43.360 --> 00:05:46.240 which I don't have. So I find a spot. I 102 00:05:46.319 --> 00:05:50.680 pull up immediately within ten seconds, the guy at the 103 00:05:50.680 --> 00:05:53.560 house behind me backs out, his truck, comes out, gets 104 00:05:53.560 --> 00:05:55.079 in his truck, and he leaves early in the morning. 105 00:05:55.079 --> 00:05:57.240 He's probably going to work or something. He backs up, 106 00:05:57.319 --> 00:05:58.959 but the way he backs up is he backs up 107 00:05:58.959 --> 00:06:01.120 in his driver's side window is right next to my 108 00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:03.879 driver's side window, and he looks over at me and 109 00:06:04.120 --> 00:06:08.079 just there and then rolls down his window and I 110 00:06:08.079 --> 00:06:09.360 could see him in the corner of my eye. I'm 111 00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:11.040 looking down at my phone, you know, just trying to 112 00:06:11.079 --> 00:06:13.160 pretend like I'm looking down on my phone, and I 113 00:06:13.160 --> 00:06:17.720 see the window roll down and then I hear this, hey, hey, 114 00:06:17.959 --> 00:06:19.680 you know like that, and so I rolled out the window. 115 00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:22.360 He's like, can I help you. I'm like no, now, 116 00:06:22.439 --> 00:06:25.279 just chilling on my phone. He's like, oh, gives one 117 00:06:25.279 --> 00:06:27.959 of those like oh okay, you know, and then just 118 00:06:27.959 --> 00:06:31.759 like walks off and then drives off. So I'm already burnt, 119 00:06:32.439 --> 00:06:36.120 just immediately in two seconds being there. So I go 120 00:06:36.319 --> 00:06:39.240 drive around the street. There is none of these spots 121 00:06:39.240 --> 00:06:41.680 where people aren't going to be suspicious, so I try 122 00:06:41.720 --> 00:06:45.360 and find the least suspicious spot. I'm there maybe an 123 00:06:45.439 --> 00:06:47.560 hour and a half. The guy at the house that 124 00:06:47.560 --> 00:06:48.879 I'm kind of in front of, in front of me, 125 00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:55.920 comes out and they own It turns out they they're 126 00:06:55.920 --> 00:06:58.639 either taking care of or they own the three houses 127 00:06:58.680 --> 00:07:01.160 that are kind of all around, because they're going over 128 00:07:01.199 --> 00:07:03.160 to one house doing stuff over there. They're going over 129 00:07:03.240 --> 00:07:05.839 another house, and they're walking past my car all this 130 00:07:06.040 --> 00:07:09.160 time looking at me, looking at me. He comes over, 131 00:07:09.279 --> 00:07:11.680 he checks his bushes, he checks his you know, his 132 00:07:11.720 --> 00:07:13.920 front yard bushes and stuff, right next to my car. 133 00:07:13.959 --> 00:07:17.680 But I know, he's looking into my car. Still no movement, 134 00:07:17.800 --> 00:07:22.519 nothing on this guy. And about forty five minutes later, 135 00:07:22.639 --> 00:07:26.040 I look into my rearview mirror, local police officer pulling 136 00:07:26.079 --> 00:07:28.000 up right behind my car and getting out. 137 00:07:27.839 --> 00:07:31.000 Of Come on, I hate that so much, just as 138 00:07:31.319 --> 00:07:32.040 us what we're up. 139 00:07:31.959 --> 00:07:34.680 To, I know, exactly, just roll down the window. But no, 140 00:07:34.759 --> 00:07:38.040 actually no he did. He did. He walked past once 141 00:07:38.519 --> 00:07:40.800 and he just said can I help you or you know, 142 00:07:40.839 --> 00:07:42.959 he said, are you waiting for somebody? And I said yes, 143 00:07:43.240 --> 00:07:46.120 and he said, oh okay, and he chin he gave 144 00:07:46.160 --> 00:07:49.439 me this look like and then he says, uh, so 145 00:07:49.519 --> 00:07:52.839 that's it. No more information. And I'm like, well, if 146 00:07:52.879 --> 00:07:54.600 you want more information, I'll give you information. You just 147 00:07:54.639 --> 00:07:56.759 asked if I was waiting for somebody, and I said yes. 148 00:07:57.000 --> 00:08:00.480 I said yes, I'm a reporter. I'm a photo journalist 149 00:08:00.519 --> 00:08:03.839 and I'm doing an investigative report in this neighborhood. And 150 00:08:03.879 --> 00:08:07.959 he he just was kind of like, uh, oh okay, 151 00:08:08.040 --> 00:08:11.720 and the wheels start turning like you know, who's he talking? 152 00:08:11.759 --> 00:08:15.079 You know, So forty five minutes later, the cops pull 153 00:08:15.160 --> 00:08:19.600 up and another cop behind him pulls up two cops, 154 00:08:20.120 --> 00:08:22.680 so it comes up strut yeah, So I grab all 155 00:08:22.680 --> 00:08:24.360 my stuff because everything's ready right here, you know, my 156 00:08:24.439 --> 00:08:28.759 driver's license, insurance, media pass, like all that stuff, you know, 157 00:08:28.879 --> 00:08:31.399 the press pass. So he comes up and he says, 158 00:08:31.439 --> 00:08:33.320 what are you doing here? I say, I'm I give 159 00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:37.279 the same story you know, I'm here investigative Bubba. Do 160 00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:39.360 you have a press pass? I show him the press pass, 161 00:08:39.799 --> 00:08:43.840 says okay, thank you very much, peace out. So he 162 00:08:43.919 --> 00:08:46.879 takes off. I'm still sitting there. The guy comes out again. 163 00:08:46.919 --> 00:08:48.639 It kind of looks at me because he's probably got 164 00:08:48.639 --> 00:08:54.159 the word by now that I'm legit. And nothing ever happens, 165 00:08:55.720 --> 00:08:58.960 including the rest of the day. The guy never comes out, 166 00:08:59.360 --> 00:09:03.399 the car never moves, nothing ever happens. So scratch that day. 167 00:09:04.080 --> 00:09:09.120 A couple days later, my daughter and I had randomly 168 00:09:09.399 --> 00:09:11.480 gone down to Venice Beach. I've been checking on this 169 00:09:11.559 --> 00:09:17.919 Baywatch set for about two weeks. They've been building on 170 00:09:17.960 --> 00:09:21.679 this lifeguard station, this legendary lifeguard station down in Venice, 171 00:09:22.159 --> 00:09:25.519 and it's just been a constant construction two three weeks. 172 00:09:26.039 --> 00:09:27.919 I didn't really have the information of when it was 173 00:09:27.960 --> 00:09:31.039 going to start. But on one of the checks, I'd 174 00:09:31.039 --> 00:09:34.039 brought my daughter with me and just to go to 175 00:09:34.039 --> 00:09:35.840 the beach, hang out a little bit and see what 176 00:09:35.879 --> 00:09:39.919 we can see. And as we were kind of walking 177 00:09:39.960 --> 00:09:44.240 around the lifeguard station, I had noticed that there was 178 00:09:44.279 --> 00:09:46.679 a bunch of you know, it was kind of a 179 00:09:46.679 --> 00:09:50.399 little there was a little catering table, and there was 180 00:09:50.600 --> 00:09:52.720 people that looked like they could have been the cast. 181 00:09:52.799 --> 00:09:54.679 And then it looks like there was maybe some directors 182 00:09:54.679 --> 00:09:56.879 that were there, maybe some writers or something, and they 183 00:09:56.919 --> 00:09:58.519 were all just kind of having a meeting, kind of 184 00:09:58.559 --> 00:10:02.159 wrapping up for the day. And my daughter freaks out 185 00:10:02.240 --> 00:10:03.960 and she says, oh, oh my god, that's no A 186 00:10:04.039 --> 00:10:05.720 Beck right there. That's no A Beck, you know. And 187 00:10:05.759 --> 00:10:09.879 she's like a big yeah, exactly who No A Beck 188 00:10:09.919 --> 00:10:12.080 for anybody who doesn't know, is like a big TikToker. 189 00:10:12.120 --> 00:10:15.679 He's an influencer and he has he was cast in 190 00:10:16.080 --> 00:10:19.240 the bay Watch show. At this time, nobody knew really 191 00:10:19.279 --> 00:10:21.600 who was in the cast. Just a couple of mains 192 00:10:22.120 --> 00:10:25.120 they had revealed who that was. And so my daughter, 193 00:10:25.200 --> 00:10:28.720 freaking out, has to get a picture with him. So 194 00:10:28.799 --> 00:10:30.919 she runs up to him says kind of get a picture. 195 00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:33.320 And while I'm taking their picture, I'm like so no, 196 00:10:33.480 --> 00:10:35.960 I'm like, so you're you're in Baywatch, huh. And he's 197 00:10:35.960 --> 00:10:37.519 like yeah, and he kind of goes like, you know, 198 00:10:37.960 --> 00:10:40.639 it's kind of a secret, and I'm like, oh, yeah, yeah, 199 00:10:40.799 --> 00:10:46.279 you see secrets safe with me, bro, you know. But 200 00:10:46.480 --> 00:10:50.240 I'm totally unarmed, and I want to I want to 201 00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:54.519 spoil this story, you know, but my daughter will not 202 00:10:54.600 --> 00:10:58.039 let me take a picture. I go to try and 203 00:10:58.039 --> 00:11:01.759 get him his exit from the place. I end up 204 00:11:01.799 --> 00:11:05.639 just getting some car information and that was it. A 205 00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:09.320 couple days later, because they had been down there and 206 00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:11.600 they were doing some training, I could tell that they 207 00:11:11.600 --> 00:11:14.240 were doing some sort of training, maybe some practicing for 208 00:11:15.039 --> 00:11:17.720 the role. I figured they might do it again. So 209 00:11:18.200 --> 00:11:20.519 a few days later I check it. A couple days 210 00:11:20.559 --> 00:11:26.200 later I check it, and finally, on like the third check, 211 00:11:26.320 --> 00:11:29.039 the third day or whatever, I head down there. I 212 00:11:29.080 --> 00:11:30.960 look down the beach and they're down there and they're 213 00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:36.720 training again. So I walk up infiltrator, not with my 214 00:11:36.759 --> 00:11:39.000 big camera. I walk up with that thing. I just 215 00:11:39.000 --> 00:11:40.519 sit down on the beach right in front of them, 216 00:11:40.559 --> 00:11:45.600 and I'm just nailing frames video everything of them running 217 00:11:45.639 --> 00:11:48.720 in and out, running into the just full practice for 218 00:11:48.759 --> 00:11:53.200 being a lifeguard. And at this time I'm noticing who 219 00:11:53.240 --> 00:11:56.960 these other people are in the cast, you know. So 220 00:11:57.960 --> 00:12:02.000 I put the pictures in, get a nice exclusive sale 221 00:12:02.360 --> 00:12:06.600 out of it, and then the next day going back 222 00:12:06.639 --> 00:12:12.159 to check on this Doug Mason guy. Right, they wanted 223 00:12:12.200 --> 00:12:14.240 me to go down on a Friday, but I'm like, now, 224 00:12:14.320 --> 00:12:17.679 let's just let's let's do Saturday, because you know, Saturday 225 00:12:17.759 --> 00:12:20.399 is the day where this guy seems like he's active, 226 00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:22.200 like he's gonna go surfing, like he's gonna go to 227 00:12:22.279 --> 00:12:24.519 the beach something like that. Friday's like more like a 228 00:12:24.519 --> 00:12:26.759 business day. I don't know. He just didn't seem like 229 00:12:26.759 --> 00:12:28.480 a guy who'd be doing he'd be doing more on 230 00:12:28.519 --> 00:12:30.799 a Saturday. So what is. 231 00:12:30.679 --> 00:12:33.519 The relevance of this guy? Because you just said he's 232 00:12:33.559 --> 00:12:38.159 like a regular surfer that there's nothing. I googled him, 233 00:12:38.200 --> 00:12:41.919 so I know who he is now. Yeah, but explain 234 00:12:41.960 --> 00:12:43.039 the relevance of this guy. 235 00:12:44.279 --> 00:12:48.559 So the Bachelorette had been filmed and there was a 236 00:12:48.639 --> 00:12:51.039 rumor that had popped out that this guy was one 237 00:12:51.039 --> 00:12:55.879 of the finalists in the Bachelorette. So they just wanted 238 00:12:55.840 --> 00:12:58.480 to kind of just some background pictures and stuff of 239 00:12:58.519 --> 00:13:00.919 this guy kind of live in his life, doing his 240 00:13:00.960 --> 00:13:05.759 thing and maybe maybe if you know, I got some 241 00:13:06.080 --> 00:13:07.799 good pictures and a good set on him or something 242 00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:09.759 like that. They might even send a reporter to like 243 00:13:10.360 --> 00:13:12.960 knock on the door or talk to him at some point. 244 00:13:13.320 --> 00:13:13.840 Perfect. 245 00:13:14.039 --> 00:13:18.159 So, so that was the interest in him. So I 246 00:13:18.200 --> 00:13:21.120 went down same thing, trying to find a spot on 247 00:13:21.159 --> 00:13:23.559 the on the in the neighborhood where I wasn't sitting 248 00:13:23.559 --> 00:13:25.000 in front of the same house. I mean, I know 249 00:13:25.480 --> 00:13:27.360 that I would have been safe to say do that, 250 00:13:27.399 --> 00:13:30.039 but I didn't want to do it. Plus, I figure 251 00:13:30.080 --> 00:13:31.960 the neighbors all kind of know each other and if 252 00:13:32.000 --> 00:13:34.840 I'm back again, they might just start talking to each other. 253 00:13:35.399 --> 00:13:36.399 Yeah. 254 00:13:36.440 --> 00:13:41.399 But I'm there maybe three or four hours, and all 255 00:13:41.440 --> 00:13:46.120 of a sudden, this really nice limo, you know, top 256 00:13:46.120 --> 00:13:50.279 of the line, Cadillac SUV limo, all tinted out, all 257 00:13:50.279 --> 00:13:53.440 pimped out, just comes driving, you know, right past me 258 00:13:53.759 --> 00:13:56.000 through the neighborhood. And this thing just stands out like 259 00:13:56.000 --> 00:13:58.559 a sore thumb, like there's no I'm like, this has 260 00:13:58.559 --> 00:14:00.320 got to be for him, you know. And he's just 261 00:14:00.320 --> 00:14:02.440 just cruising slow down the neighborhood, you know, and stuff, 262 00:14:02.440 --> 00:14:05.679 and I'm like, yeah, keep going, keep going, keep going, 263 00:14:05.919 --> 00:14:07.919 keep going, don't stop there don't stop there, and then 264 00:14:07.919 --> 00:14:09.799 it just pulls out to the end of the of 265 00:14:09.879 --> 00:14:12.600 the road. So I'm like, yes, So. 266 00:14:12.759 --> 00:14:14.720 Good feeling, isn't it when you see the limo and 267 00:14:14.759 --> 00:14:16.320 it actually goes to the right address. 268 00:14:16.600 --> 00:14:20.080 Yeah, keep going, keep going, don't stop there, don't don't. 269 00:14:20.080 --> 00:14:22.759 Don't don't because he did, because he's obviously looking at 270 00:14:22.759 --> 00:14:25.320 his phone at the address. So he's slowing down in 271 00:14:25.360 --> 00:14:27.480 front of other homes and You're like no, no, no, no, no, no, no, 272 00:14:27.559 --> 00:14:27.960 keep going. 273 00:14:28.759 --> 00:14:30.519 So he finally pulls up to the house and I'm 274 00:14:30.519 --> 00:14:31.840 like yes, and I'm like, I don't give a shit. 275 00:14:31.919 --> 00:14:34.360 I'm just gonna pull right across the street, you know, 276 00:14:34.600 --> 00:14:37.200 I'm gonna go through the tent and I'm just gonna 277 00:14:37.200 --> 00:14:42.080 blast it right. So the driver gets out and normally, 278 00:14:42.200 --> 00:14:44.519 if this was like a Julia Roberts, I would have 279 00:14:44.559 --> 00:14:48.279 a half hour because the limbos for the for the 280 00:14:48.320 --> 00:14:50.840 big you know a listers, they show up a half 281 00:14:50.840 --> 00:14:53.200 hour early and then it takes forever for them to 282 00:14:53.240 --> 00:14:56.440 come out. But with this guy, I'm thinking, Okay, this 283 00:14:56.480 --> 00:14:59.440 guy's a nobody. It could be five minutes, you know, 284 00:15:00.960 --> 00:15:03.840 for four or five seconds. Yeah, So I flip around 285 00:15:03.879 --> 00:15:06.799 real quick, I'm getting my gear. I grab my camera. 286 00:15:06.879 --> 00:15:08.519 I go to take a test shot with the driver. 287 00:15:09.720 --> 00:15:13.720 My camera says like, can't read memory card. Oh shit, 288 00:15:14.919 --> 00:15:19.360 try to format it can't format, it can't read, can't read. 289 00:15:19.600 --> 00:15:23.519 I'm like, something's going on. Take it out, put it out, 290 00:15:23.799 --> 00:15:25.840 turn a camera off, turn it back on. Nothing's working 291 00:15:26.279 --> 00:15:28.720 with my big camera, right, So I take the memory 292 00:15:28.720 --> 00:15:30.919 card out, I put it into my the infiltrator. Right, 293 00:15:31.200 --> 00:15:32.639 doesn't work in the infiltrator either. 294 00:15:33.440 --> 00:15:34.080 What the heck? 295 00:15:34.960 --> 00:15:39.120 So I'm panicking freaking out in the car, right, I go, 296 00:15:39.200 --> 00:15:41.279 I reach back, I grab my drone. I take my 297 00:15:41.320 --> 00:15:43.960 little mini, the little mini memory card out of the 298 00:15:44.039 --> 00:15:46.240 drone and there's a little big there's a bigger memory 299 00:15:46.240 --> 00:15:48.320 card that it slips into that. I slipped it into that. 300 00:15:48.360 --> 00:15:50.840 I slipped that into my camera. Can't read that card. 301 00:15:51.879 --> 00:15:55.159 Slip it into the slip it into the infiltrator. It works. 302 00:15:55.600 --> 00:15:58.440 So I'm like, that's that. That's all I can use 303 00:15:58.559 --> 00:16:01.240 is the infiltrator, and it's lasting. And this is going 304 00:16:01.320 --> 00:16:03.080 to be a shot where he comes up the driveway 305 00:16:03.440 --> 00:16:07.799 and it's five frames and with the infiltrator, it doesn't 306 00:16:07.919 --> 00:16:10.559 blast like that. It blasts like a sentence. So it 307 00:16:10.600 --> 00:16:13.399 goes like, you know, so I have the time, it 308 00:16:13.759 --> 00:16:17.279 just right where he's walking, and I do. He finally 309 00:16:17.279 --> 00:16:20.559 comes up. I get it, but I got it a 310 00:16:20.559 --> 00:16:24.080 little too early, and like the light post is in 311 00:16:24.159 --> 00:16:27.080 front of and we're gonna I'm gonna put these up 312 00:16:27.120 --> 00:16:27.279 on this. 313 00:16:27.360 --> 00:16:34.080 Oh so that's why they did what wonder I see him? 314 00:16:34.240 --> 00:16:36.360 Yeah, they were a little lot of focused, just a little. 315 00:16:36.159 --> 00:16:37.720 Bit a little soft. 316 00:16:37.799 --> 00:16:41.080 Yeah, been real quick.

And 333 00:17:27.759 --> 00:17:29.519 there's no way I can't. I'm not going to figure 334 00:17:29.559 --> 00:17:34.319 out on this follow while I'm following, figure out what's 335 00:17:34.319 --> 00:17:36.440 going on with my camera and my and my memory card.

Yeah, So he's driving down 340 00:17:50.039 --> 00:17:53.640 the road. This driver has taking some weird road that 341 00:17:53.720 --> 00:17:56.000 I don't even think he's going anywhere far because he's 342 00:17:56.039 --> 00:17:58.000 taking all these back roads when I know that the 343 00:17:58.039 --> 00:18:00.519 freeway is just right up the road. So he takes 344 00:18:00.559 --> 00:18:03.200 these back roads.

I love following them. 354 00:18:29.640 --> 00:18:33.680 Yeah, But me and my papanoia is, oh did he 355 00:18:33.839 --> 00:18:35.720 did he look and see my car sitting there when 356 00:18:35.720 --> 00:18:39.400 he left the house, Like, because Mike, there's only two 357 00:18:39.519 --> 00:18:41.359 cars that sit on the end of his street where 358 00:18:41.359 --> 00:18:43.640 he is where, you know, he knows every car that 359 00:18:43.680 --> 00:18:46.359 there is. He's been there his whole life. But me 360 00:18:46.519 --> 00:18:50.119 sitting there, I don't know. So that's my papanoia that 361 00:18:50.160 --> 00:18:52.279 he already he's already spotted me from the get go, 362 00:18:52.480 --> 00:18:56.640 you know. So we get on the freeway which is 363 00:18:56.680 --> 00:18:58.640 heading down towards the five. We're up, we're up in 364 00:18:58.680 --> 00:19:00.559 the hills and we get on this freeway going down 365 00:19:01.119 --> 00:19:05.480 and the suv is flying down the freeway, you know, 366 00:19:06.599 --> 00:19:10.200 and I'm trying to keep up. It's very messy. Tons 367 00:19:10.279 --> 00:19:13.480 of traffic just you know, not bumper to bumper traffic, 368 00:19:13.480 --> 00:19:15.920 but traffic that's just scattered everywhere. And if they get 369 00:19:16.079 --> 00:19:18.319 three cars ahead, they're going to be seven cars ahead 370 00:19:18.359 --> 00:19:20.720 and no time, you know. Oh yeah, So trying to 371 00:19:20.799 --> 00:19:22.519 keep up, trying to keep up. So we get down 372 00:19:22.599 --> 00:19:26.000 to you know, the highway where it splits to go 373 00:19:26.039 --> 00:19:28.200 north or south on the five freeway, right because we're 374 00:19:28.200 --> 00:19:33.559 down by San Diego area. You know, left, two lanes south, right, 375 00:19:33.559 --> 00:19:37.119 two lanes north right, Nice and easy. He's in the 376 00:19:37.119 --> 00:19:40.400 far left lane. Right. We're going under the sign where 377 00:19:40.400 --> 00:19:48.559 it's splitting right, No problem. This driver slices across all lanes, 378 00:19:48.880 --> 00:19:51.759 goes across the dirt, even like where the split is. Oh, 379 00:19:51.920 --> 00:19:54.160 and there's all that kind of like you know, dusty 380 00:19:54.200 --> 00:19:56.720 dirt and all that stuff kicks up all the dirt. 381 00:19:57.119 --> 00:19:59.960 My dash cam footage of this must be insane. Okay, 382 00:20:00.799 --> 00:20:02.839 And I go to do the same thing, but there's 383 00:20:02.880 --> 00:20:06.079 a motorcycle guy. There's a motorcycler right next to me. 384 00:20:06.799 --> 00:20:09.240 And this happened so fast that if I couldn't go 385 00:20:09.319 --> 00:20:11.200 right at that second, there was no way I was 386 00:20:11.200 --> 00:20:13.839 gonna make it north on the five right. Couldn't do it. 387 00:20:14.359 --> 00:20:17.519 So I'm going straight. I'm screaming in my car. I'm going, 388 00:20:17.559 --> 00:20:19.880 oh my god, what the fuck? What the fuck? 389 00:20:20.079 --> 00:20:20.359 You know? 390 00:20:20.839 --> 00:20:24.400 Just not know what to do. I go down down 391 00:20:24.440 --> 00:20:26.960 to the next signal, I flip a U turn. I 392 00:20:27.039 --> 00:20:29.519 come back across the bridge. I go and I get 393 00:20:29.559 --> 00:20:32.799 onto the five going the other way right. So I 394 00:20:33.160 --> 00:20:35.799 come back, I get back on the five. I have 395 00:20:36.000 --> 00:20:39.880 no clue that they're they're gone. But the five Freeway 396 00:20:40.039 --> 00:20:44.880 is bumper to bumper, slow moving traffic, right, So I 397 00:20:44.920 --> 00:20:49.200 am just as fast as I can, just weaving in 398 00:20:49.240 --> 00:20:50.880 and out, in and out, in and out of people, 399 00:20:50.880 --> 00:20:54.079 in and out of people. It finally freeze up. I'm 400 00:20:54.119 --> 00:20:57.359 doing like ninety ninety five, just weaving in and out 401 00:20:57.359 --> 00:21:00.119
