I just assumed it was something in the building. You know,
we got a lot of power in here. We've got
a Christmas tree in here, and it flickered a couple
of times and never went out. But there is a
(00:29):
power outage in Burbank and over two hundred and fifty
customers in the Magnolia Park area are without power. And
it started at that substation right off the one P
thirty four freeway. They pinned it to that substation which
is off Hollywood Way and Alameda. If you get off there,

there's that big new apartment building and it's right there.
We're at the corner of West Alameda and Hollywood Way,

good thing, and I look forward to the opportunity.

your dad was in the parade.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
He was you know, he wasn't a Rose parade guy.
What's wrong with you?

Speaker 2 (06:11):
He did do the Santa Claus Parade, the Hollywood Parade once.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
But I couldn't.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
I couldn't imagine fighting traffic to get there and look
at floats.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
What's going on with you?
Speaker 5 (06:24):
Know?
Speaker 3 (06:24):
There's not enough there for There's not enough there for me,
and there's not enough there for you either. How many
times have you done it where you're not working? Zero that.
Speaker 5 (06:33):
I went one time as a kid, Oh you did?
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Okay? What mom and dad drag ye?
Speaker 5 (06:36):
I felt like it was yeah, I felt like it's
once is great, it's an amazing show, like but you
kind of got it after But it's.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
How are you gonna are you going to artificially get
your excitement up to see these floats?
Speaker 3 (06:50):
How are you going to do that?
Speaker 5 (06:51):
No? It is really fun, and you know what I
actually really like the most I think is the music,
because you have all these marching bands from all over
the world that come in that are really great and
fired up, and there's other live musical performances. It's it's
it's a really special day.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
It is is USC marching band in it.
Speaker 5 (07:13):
No, because we didn't we didn't make the roast, So.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
I understand that.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
But sometimes you know they're from southern California, they're a
very popular band.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
They would, you know, find a way to that parade.
Speaker 5 (07:22):
I think. I think they only highlight them when they
make make make it into the game.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
I see who's the who the can I get your reaction,
and I know you've probably heard more than that we
have here on the whole Rob Reiner thing.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
It must have really hit you hard.
Speaker 5 (07:37):
Of course, yeah. I mean it's it's so sad in
so many different ways. And but you think about what
an unbelievable career, right, I mean, the guy was so
successful in so many genres. I mean, if you think
about it, I mean not only starting, uh, you know,
(07:58):
with with the TV show one of the great TV
shows in all time, All in the Family, but then
to back it up with movie after movie after movie
in the rom com genre and the drama category and
all these different categories some of the best movies ever made.
And it's just and then after all of that and
all that work and all of the stuff that he
(08:18):
did for his family, to go out that way is
just like one of the most tragic things you can
think about.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
The worst.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
I don't know, I don't think as a director in Hollywood,
it has more range than Rob Render did.
Speaker 5 (08:30):
Yeah, and really beloved. I mean, you think about it,
and you really haven't heard anything bad about him that's
come out at all in the last week either. I mean,
obviously there's a lot of folks. Well there was one
bad statement from somebody, right, But.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Now it turns out that the kid that the kid
nick it was a schizophrenic.
Speaker 5 (08:49):
Yeah, and so that'll be interesting to see sort of
what that trial is like. I mean, he hired one
of the most expensive and most successful attorneys in in
the country and who's who. So we'll see, you know,
what happens there.

Speaker 8 (11:49):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from kf
I Am six forty.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
It is their last Friday before Christmas. So there's a
lot of traffic out there, a lot of people moving around,
a lot of people traveling, and it is supposed to
be the busiest travel weekend of the year, maybe in
the history of the United States. That's right, the history
of the United States. We've never seen this many people
at LAX or Burbank Airport or Orange County Airport holiday rush.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
It's a triple.
Speaker 9 (12:21):
A considers the holiday travel period to run from December
twentieth through January first, but here at LAX, we're already
seeing the start of that holiday rush. The FFA says
today will be the busiest day in the skies with
nearly fifty two thousand flights in the air.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Be Bang buy deof ban Guying.
Speaker 9 (12:40):
The Auto Club estimates a record eight point zero three
million people will fly domestically this holiday season, a two
and a half percent increase from last year.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
Wow Pe Bug Buying Good bug going.
Speaker 9 (12:51):
It also marks the first time on record that the
number of domestic air travelers has exceeded eight million during
the holiday period. Nine hundred and forty five thousand of
them are Californians.
Speaker 5 (13:01):
Is that right?
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Almost a million of us in California are going to
go on a plane sometime between now and New Year's
Nine hundred.
Speaker 9 (13:08):
And forty five thousand of them are California.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
Whoa, oh to go?
Speaker 2 (13:12):
I have to go to Lax this weekend to pick
somebody up or drop somebody off. It it's a nightmare,
an absolute nightmare. What's it like out there?
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Rangel?
Speaker 2 (13:24):
You always got your finger on the pulse of what's
happening at Lax and southern California. Are there any like
really major hotspots that people just pulling.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
Their hair out?
Speaker 6 (13:34):
Well, there certainly is.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
And that's the one oh one.
Speaker 6 (13:38):
It's everything heading eastbound right now. So what I mean
by that is the one O one southbound or eastbound,
whatever you want to call it. It's backing up out
of Calabasas from Lost Hills all the way to the
one seventy one thirty four split. If you stay eastbound
and take that one thirty four you've got this small
(14:00):
opening with delays ahead from about Bob Hope out a burbank,
and then that's pretty heavy all the way towards the two.
Then that drive in Pasadena on the two to ten
eastbound loading up from the one thirty four all the
way into San Bernardino.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Oh my god, you know what that's You know, I
was looking at from downtown LA on the ten westbound.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
That's a free ride.
Speaker 6 (14:24):
Yeah, that looks pretty great getting out of downtown all
the way to the ocean, no problems ahead.
Speaker 10 (14:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (14:31):
But then you know they were saying a lot of
people are heading to Arizona this weekend for the holidays.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
Is that jammed?
Speaker 6 (14:39):
The ten's getting busy? Like, I'm seeing some pretty heavy
traffic out in Palm Springs right now. And you know,
I was also looking at Lax checking out the Horseshoe,
seeing how that's rolling along. Hopefully your flight is leaving
pretty soon, because it looks good on the Horseshoe right now.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Yeah, it looks I see the traffic you're talking about
in Palm Springs, like Palm Desert area, Desert Palms.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
That's a mess out there, Yeah, it is.
Speaker 6 (15:08):
It's gonna and it'll only get worse.
Speaker 7 (15:10):
You know.
Speaker 6 (15:10):
I think a lot of people are gonna probably try
to leave in the morning thinking they're missing a lot
of traffic right now. But yeah, heading out east, Oh
my gosh, there's.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Some major developments like that Desert Palms north of the
ten Freeway is a fairly new development and there are
hundreds of thousands of new homes out there.
Speaker 6 (15:29):
Looks like, yeah, you know, that's can you imagine what
that's going to how the Ten's going to be in
a couple of years.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Yeah, but you know what, people people moved out out
there to Palm Desert and Palm Springs to get away
from people and get away from the traffic, and then
they just it's going to be like the valley out there, if.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
It isn't already.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
Yeah, it's all right, Angel Martinez, Thank you, Angel Martinez.
Dig got it dong with her? All right, let's continue here.
What's going on at Lax and traveling it's gonna be
a nightmare for whoever is flying around this country. Nine
hundred and fifty thousand Californians are going to be hit
in the air.
Speaker 9 (16:07):
One traveler says she'll think twice before traveling this time
of year.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
In the future, I never travel during the holiday season.
Speaker 7 (16:13):
Again, I don't have to cause I'm senior. I'm retired,
so I can to any days.
Speaker 9 (16:20):
But as usual, more people are opting to drive. Nearly
one hundred and ten million Americans are expected to travel
by car, including close to nine million Californians.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Oh God, what's going on with us? We got nine
million people driving in this state and million people flying.
Speaker 9 (16:35):
We spoke with travelers here at Lax, some who say
they've come to expect the holiday craze.
Speaker 7 (16:39):
It's about what I expect that it's it's pretty packed
here right now.
Speaker 8 (16:42):
My flight's delayed forty five minutes, so you know, it
gives me more time to get somebody.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Oh, I thought he was going to give us the
It is what it is.
Speaker 7 (16:50):
So far, so good.
Speaker 11 (16:51):
Hasn't been too bad.
Speaker 10 (16:52):
The traffic today was definitely pretty terrible getting to the airport.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
I definitely expected it to be like fifteen minutes, and
it took like an hour.
Speaker 9 (16:57):
Travelers tell us the Lax Metro Transit center, which opened
this summer, is saving them both time and money. One
international traveler says she was surprised by how easy it
is to use and by how few people seem to
know about it.
Speaker 12 (17:10):
I knew that public transportation in LA is not really well,
and I was really surprised that station is really nice looking.
The navigation is so well, it's so easy to find
where it to go, and I was surprised that nobody
uses it.
Speaker 7 (17:23):
It's empty.
Speaker 9 (17:24):
And one more thing for holiday travelers to keep in
mind the weather. A storm is expected to California.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
Good luck on Christmas Eve.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Trina got on a plane when lax Is hit with
six inches of rain Tuesday and.
Speaker 9 (17:38):
Last through Christmas Day, which could impact flights.
Speaker 7 (17:42):
And road conditions.

to two oh two, so I finished off that service
there and then I went back in in March of
twenty twenty three.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
Oh I see, okay, I can't look.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
I can't tell you how thrilled and proud we are
on this show with everybody in the armed services, but
especially people that went back in after nine to eleven.
I can't I tell you if I ever ran into
somebody like you in a bar, you'd never buy yourself
a drink man.
Speaker 11 (19:56):
Oh no, thank you, I appreciate that.
Speaker 5 (19:57):
All right.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
Now you're with Breya.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
You were the brain a mayor, and I think they
have the trash police out there, Is that correct?
Speaker 5 (20:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 11 (20:06):
Well, we have a we have a coordinator who's who's
helping to try to keep our costs down because the
state is mandating these you know, these these organics, the
Organics program and then Matics is twenty sixteen.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
And is that a and is that an attempt to
reduce the methane gas in the at landfills?
Speaker 5 (20:28):
Yes, yes, of course, you.
Speaker 11 (20:31):
Know the the organics who's what they're trying to do
is make additional products out of it, which is with
his code generation gases, fuel pellets, you know that they
were used for cogeneration or and actually food or feed
for animals, livestock, okay, feed, all right.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
And so they're pretty strict in Brea with what you
can put in what can well.
Speaker 5 (20:55):
Throughout the state.
Speaker 11 (20:55):
And they passed this laws who's the Senate Bill thirteen
eighty three back in twenty sixteen, and they've been trying
to implement it since. They keep on delaying, delaying, playing
because there's all kinds of you know, the cities are like,
what how are we going to do this? So they
they put this mandate on the cities and the cities
of having to comply. We only got serious about it,
(21:16):
you know, we've been working on it. But because they
started implementing ten thousand dollars per day fines if we
don't have it in by by the end of the year.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
All right, that's significant for all the any small city
like Brea, any city.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
Yeah, and what is what is the mandate? What do
you need to do so you don't get fined?
Speaker 11 (21:37):
There's there's goals that they've set out in twenty sixteen
that you're supposed to divert seventy five percent of the waste,
and so much of these are all of this organics
and to reprocess in the other by products.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
Oh I see, so it's no longer.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
I don't know how old you are, but my grandfather
when he smokes cigarettes, he'd throw out the window and yell,
the world is my ash tray?
Speaker 3 (22:03):
Yeah, yeah, that's over. And of course, yeah, good old days, right,
you know?
Speaker 11 (22:10):
Can I can I just tell you something about the
confusion about it and why Francesca is our our our
coordinator who's actually helping is because she's going around and
and and actually you know, putting in there and saying, hey, listen,
you want to put this in the you know, the
green bin, and put this one in the black bin.
Speaker 5 (22:27):
Okay.
Speaker 11 (22:28):
I'll give you an example. If you if you have
a pizza box and you and you have the cardboard, right, well,
that goes in the green recycle. Everybody knows it. That's
that's recyclable, it's paper. But if you have grease on
the on the pizza box from the pizza slice, oh no,
that doesn't go into the cardboard because now you're contaminating
the cardboard green bin. That's got to go in the
organic spin.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Okay, wait a minute, Wait a minute. I live in
a different city. I live in Burbank where we have black, blue,
and green. So if I had a pizza box, that
the blue is my recycling the pizza box. If it's stained,
it goes in the black can. If it's not, it
goes in the blue can.
Speaker 11 (23:06):
Well, no, because in your case, your your green one
would be your organicsh icy correct.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
Icy right, yeah, yeah, no, the green one is yeah leaves.
Speaker 11 (23:15):
Yeah, But it doesn't make sense because if you're trying
to take away methane and you're putting oil, so grease
is oil, and you're putting that into now you're recycling it,
you're adding methane. It just crazy, just goes against the
whole the whole purpose of the law.
Speaker 5 (23:31):
Right.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
But you also probably understood, you know, because you're a
retired lieutenant commander, that in the armed services, a lot
of things make sense, but out in the outside world
nothing does.
Speaker 11 (23:43):
That is true. And but let me tell you this.
I remember it was it was two thousand and six.
I was in Germany on an assignment and they were
doing they were separating their their wet waste. We call
it wet waste into bins, all of the food scraps,
all one in two thousand and six. So other countries
have been doing this for years. Okay, they don't have
the landfill space that we do, so they've actually are
(24:05):
more more progressive on.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
It, right, And and I think that there are a
lot more progressive on a lot of levels. They rely
almost solely, I believe in Germany on nuclear energy. They
have a ton of plants. Yeah yeah, so all right,
So so the pizza box is one of them. What's
another one that we always get wrong?
Speaker 11 (24:25):
Well, okay, how about how about a two by four?
Speaker 5 (24:27):
Right? You got to a two by four? All right?
Speaker 11 (24:29):
Well, first of all, you you that's construction waste. That's
a whole other category where you got to do something
special with that. You got to take that and divert that.
But you've got a bunch of chopped wood. Well, does
that go in your trash can.
Speaker 5 (24:40):
Your black can?
Speaker 3 (24:42):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (24:43):
Is it recyclable?
Speaker 11 (24:44):
Does it go in does it go in the green can? No,
it goes in the organics can.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
Okay.
Speaker 11 (24:50):
And the reason is, and the reason is is because
the by products that they want to make, right is
they're going to at the landfill. They're going to have
these these uh sits, and what they're going to do
is press this material, squeeze out all the liquid out
of all this wet waste, and then make it into pellets. Now,
if it's clean wet waste, then make it into pellets
for few few I mean fuel for co generation units,
(25:13):
oh okay, and that would be a fuel pellet. So
so it's okay to have wood in that one, you know,
particularly chopped up wood, right. And they also a product
is going to make feed stock. So if it's if
it's a nice, nice uh you know, edible edible waste,
they'll squeeze that in, squeeze out the liquid out of it,
and make that into potential feedstock.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
Man trash has become a lot more complicated these days.
Speaker 11 (25:39):
Well, it's all about money. They're going to be selling
these things. It's always about money.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
That's right, Okay.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
So a two by fours and pizza boxes, those are
the ones that that are are on the top of
the list of confusing ones. I really appreciate you you
phoning up here and you know, putting the awareness on this.
I hope that Braya doesn't get fined. It's a beautiful city.
And again, I can't thank you enough for jumping back
(26:06):
in after nine to eleven as a retired or as
a lieutenant commander.
Speaker 3 (26:10):
That was awfully sweetier to do that.
Speaker 11 (26:12):
Thank you so much, sir. I appreciate it, and thank
you for getting the word out there about this organics.
You have to do it. The state is making us.
And don't be mad at your local inspector who's trying
to help.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
That's right, Okay, thank you, sir. I appreciate it, all right,
start back, all right.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
Stephen Vargas lieutenant commander in the navy, guy jumped back
in after nine to eleven, and so cleaning up bray
is he can do that in his sleep.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
This guy is a brave man and works his ass off.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
So when they asked him, hey, can you help us,
do you know, separate the trash and get the word
out there, He's like, look, I went to Afghanistan after
nine to eleven.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
You don't think I can tackle this.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
That was probably insulting to him as a retired lieutenant
commander that people like, hey, do you think you can
handle this?
Speaker 5 (27:07):
Get out of here?
Speaker 3 (27:08):
I could do that in his sleep.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
All right, but anyway, you got to be aware of
this that they are going to start finding cities more
and more money if you don't separate your trash product.
Speaker 8 (27:18):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (27:24):
It's Conway Show.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
We have more information on Nick Reiner, who's accused of
killing his mom and dad, Rob and Michelle Reiner, coming
from Harvey Levin on TMZ.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
What's going on here?
Speaker 13 (27:36):
Based on the information we now have, Nick Reiner is
not going to plead guilty to these murders. He is
going to plead not guilty by reason of insanity. And
here's why. We have learned that Nick Reiner was diagnosed
with schizophrenia and he was under the care of a
psychiatrist in receiving meds.
Speaker 7 (27:56):
His behavior in the month before.
Speaker 13 (27:58):
The murders, and this is a quote from sources with
direct knowledge, was erratic and dangerous. He went to an
la rehab facility in the time before the murders. He
had been to a number, but in particular this one
that specializes in treating mental illness. It's really expensive. It
(28:20):
cost seventy thousand dollars a month. Wow, lots of rich,
powerful parents send their kids to this facility who have
mental illness, and Nick was there in the.
Speaker 7 (28:33):
Three to four weeks, and this is so important.
Speaker 13 (28:36):
In the three to four weeks leading up to the murders,
Nick's medications were changed, and they were changed because he
was exhibiting more and more erratic and dangerous behavior. But
when they were changed, they weren't right and it was
making him, as one source put it, crazy and they
doctors were trying to adjust the meds, but it wasn't
(28:58):
working and he.
Speaker 7 (29:00):
Was getting more and more erratic.
Speaker 13 (29:03):
In addition to that, Nick was abusing substances, and we're
told the substance abuse worsened the schizophrenia. So all of
this paints a picture of someone. In fact, these words
were used to us by one of these sources with
direct knowledge that he was quote out of his head
(29:27):
at the.
Speaker 7 (29:27):
Time of the murders.
Speaker 13 (29:28):
So, based on everything I know, this is not going
to be a case where they contest that Nick did it.
Speaker 7 (29:37):
I think they're going to concede it.
Speaker 13 (29:39):
I don't know that for a fact, but all of
the dots that we now have to connect lead us
to this is not going.
Speaker 7 (29:47):
To be a not guilty plea, I didn't do it.
This is going to be at.
Speaker 13 (29:54):
Least at this point based on everything we know without
saying about sources. If I were a betting man, I
would say this is a not guilty by reason of insanity.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
Wow, all right, that might be their only shot there, BELLYO,
are you with us? What did you find out about
Conan O'Brien's party.
Speaker 10 (30:18):
There's several outlets that are reporting that at Conan's Christmas
holiday party that he stopped some guests from calling nine
one one on Nick Reiner because because of the explosive
fight between Nick and his father.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
Wait, so some of the guests who were at Conan's
house wanted to call the cops.
Speaker 3 (30:37):
Yeah, I guess it escalated.
Speaker 10 (30:38):
And this is just from the reports we're getting that
it escalated and that they were concerned and wanted to
call nine one one to intervene, and that Conan, you know,
and that's an awkward you know, calling nine one one
on your guest's child.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
So yeah, that you're right, you nailed that. Yeah, yeah,
you nail that.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
But wouldn't doesn't Conan O'Brien feel horrible that he talked
the people out of it?
Speaker 3 (31:03):
He's got it. I'm sure he's got it. What a
horrible position to be in.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
Yeah, but you know what, I don't know if I
would have done the same thing if it was at
my house and the kid was crazy and people wanted
to call nine one one, maybe I'd say, like, you
know what, this is Rob's problem. Let Rob and Michelle
deal that they clearly don't want to call the cops.
And and but what also what a real negative down
or for the party this guy was you know where
(31:30):
now there's people want to call nine one one. You know,
you lose your buzz quickly, the party is uh, you know,
comes to an end, and everybody feels crazy and odd
and weird. I bet he never has that party again.
I don't know how you can do that party next year.
You know that's gonna be tough.
Speaker 3 (31:51):
Yeah, because or yeah, like you say, ever again? Ever, Yeah,
I don't know how you do it.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
But and then to bring your kid, you know, if
you're if you knew, because Rob, Robin Michelle clearly knew
that his kid was schizophrenic and they brought him to
the party.
Speaker 4 (32:09):
Yeah, you got to wonder what, if anything he was
showing prior to that that Rob and his wife or
the mother would have thought it would have met okay
to bring him there. Yeah, like had he just had
he shown anything prior to that that maybe you shouldn't go.
Speaker 3 (32:23):
To this party or maybe he would. They were worried
that he was going to kill himself if he stayed
a well to be around people. Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
Yeah, I don't know, it's it's odd, it's really odd.
I mean, my dad didn't like me to go to
parties with him just because I didn't dress that great.
Speaker 3 (32:39):
Just your clothing is how you looked.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
He He's like, yeah, you're why don't you wait till
next year? Maybe you can get a sweater or a
nice jacket. You know, my dad was a big sweater.
Speaker 3 (32:48):
He wasn't going to give it. He wasn't gonna give
you any of his No, he tried to sometimes, and
the sleeves were like eight inches short. What was the
story that the sweater with you? Yeah, my dad.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
My dad was going to be interviewed on one of
these you know, Catholic magazine shows or whatever, and he said, hey,
can you pick me up at ten tomorrow and drive
me to this place. You know, he's getting older and
he wanted somebody who you know, drove a limousine before
to drive him and knew the roads.
Speaker 5 (33:14):
And that was me.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
So I said yeah. And as I was leaving, he
goes and wear something nice. I'm like a Christ, right,
he's gonna bust my balls whatever.
Speaker 3 (33:23):
I show up.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
And so I went to Mervin's or Buffem's or you
know one of those one of those you know, one
of those places where you buy a sweater, you wear it,
and then you return it monkey wards yeah, montcovery wards, right.
So I bought this sweater and I show up to
you know, pick him up, and he goes, hey, that's
(33:44):
a nice sweater.
Speaker 5 (33:46):
Is it new?
Speaker 3 (33:46):
I said yeah. He goes is it a medium? I said,
uh yeah, how did you know both?
Speaker 2 (33:52):
And he said there's a big tag on it that
runs all the way down and says amm mam mam mammon,

Speaker 3 (34:00):
There's video you talking about, like you and him, yeah,

Speaker 2 (34:04):
Sweater, in that sweater and I and I said, oh, Christ,
that's what the guy at seven eleven was talking about.
Because I got a coffee and some little donuts before
I picked him up. And he's like, oh, tag tag.
You got to take a tag. I'm like, no, I
