Speaker 3 (01:54):
Well, Neil. As you know, K five is my family,
you out patavl family for so many years. I was
talking to some friends yesterday last night what K five
has done for Katerina's Club. Without K five, we will
have done a fifty percent of would be done to
the last ten years. I mean, we no doubt about it.

(02:14):
It's been a big supporter of our my foundation, big
supporter to be able to serve Domini case every week.
This year was a huge number. We celebrated ten million
meal or so wow thing about you know, and people
say bravo Bruno, but I don't say bravo, say bravo

(02:35):
K five number one in all the supporter okay five.
They're always out there, are always helping us the same
retird we have a past that ton at the restaurant
on the pasta tomato donation. Without them, Katerina will be damaging,
that's just for sure.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
Well, it's the neat thing is And I know you
folks are coming out here. We appreciate it. As hosts.
We come out here to hopefully meet you and take
your hands and say hello. But for Bruno to be
here after all these years and to be able to
look in the faces of the people who donate. Of course,
as Bruno mentioned on the third of December, Giving Tuesday,
we will be out at the White House in Anaheim,

(03:14):
and that's where you will have from Amy King and
wake up Call all the way through mo Kelly. So
we'll be there the entirety of the day and many
of us from the weekends will be there as well,
saying hello and supporting such a great cause. A big
shout out did is she still here? There?

Speaker 3 (03:31):
She is?

Speaker 1 (03:32):
Michelle Cube is better at mo Kelly. Ladies and gentlemen, Hi,
how'd you sneak in? Geez and eat a sandwich? Dude? Seriously? Wow?
Everything okay, you're healthy and okay, no, happy to see me,
all of meet every pound. So mal Kelly, I didn't
know he's here. We'll pull him on the air in

(03:54):
just a little bit and yeah, give moa a round
of applause. That's a long ass drive from that man.
So but tip my hat to Michelle Cube and everything
she's done, including Queen.

Speaker 3 (04:07):
We can't see that Michelle the Queen. It goes the
Queen of K five for the crazy, the money for
our foundation.

Speaker 1 (04:17):
And a lot of behind the scenes stuff. You just
don't see the amount of hours she puts into. And
it's funny because the minute we stop on December third,
she starts prepping for next year and working with the last.

Speaker 3 (04:29):
Night and last night last year on ten PM, I
look at her, were there since six five am? So
are you tiring? I'm getting in there, I said, because
I am exhausted. I was like, this is the mini
hours we put together. On'll start very early in the
morning till late at night. She's as a passion for
what they do with the children. And we told Michelle

(04:52):
and where will be? I can't she can never leave me.
Almost feel like I'm mad with the children.

Speaker 1 (04:57):
She's emotionally connected to this as our listener, and you
can see that by the support. Now, sadly, the namesake
of Katerina's club, your mother is no longer with us here.
She is enjoying the fruits of her labor here on
earth with a big fan of Oh yes, absolutely a

(05:19):
fascinating guy by the way. And so what do you
think your mom would say? I'm seeing that it went
from her idea and you know, pure hearted concern for
hotel kids, to the fact that we have people standing
here today to support Conway had a great group last
night to support. And then on the third, you know,

(05:42):
I have a.

Speaker 3 (05:43):
Pitch on my mom in my house at the restaurant.

Speaker 1 (05:46):
Right as you go up the stairs, right your mom
at the restaurant.

Speaker 3 (05:49):
When I'm home and wake up, do my espresso as
an Italian do with a little croissant French. But it's
still good anyway. I always look at the pitch of
my mom and I say, are you proud? Are you happy?

Speaker 1 (06:04):
She doesn't answer, does she well?

Speaker 3 (06:06):
Okay, I just I will freak out, but I really
look at the photo too, because I know how happy
she is. She had a parking song for fifteen years.
In the last six seven months. At the beginning, she
didn't know much, but sometimes her eyes were looking at
me and she knew then what was going on. And

(06:30):
right now from heaven she looked at me and everybody
who helped pasted because I'm not the only one. Like
I mentioned, she's very happy, mama, very happy. But the
fact I was talking about her last night with another
fan of Katerina's club.

Speaker 1 (06:45):
Now this piece is another fan, but anybody here know
the name Sophia Loren. Yeah. All the min's hands go
up very quickly. Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (06:58):
Last night I was talking. I was she is in
Los Angeles, she has our children here. She's been a
friend for a few years, and last night I talked
about Kfi passed the tone the children. I mean, if
we feed Bravo, Bravo, say molto Bravo. She's like a
good I am to do what they do. But she's
a fender Caterinas club. I give them a book and

(07:21):
she knows what we do in a The Sophia law
to compliment what we do. It's a it's Sofia and
the regular people walk to the door. They all at
the same level. Good people. There's a lot of good
people there. I keep saying that I'm not the only one.
There's a lot, a lot of good people out there.
We have the bad one, but we don't consider them.
We just want the good people on us. And that's

(07:42):
what I love about the world is a lot of
the good one.

Speaker 1 (07:45):
And they keep knocking on your door to help, don't they?
New new partners.

Speaker 3 (07:51):
Always a matter final when this barrila. A lot of
people always boone what can they do? Boon? What can
we do? I say, Well, pasta, tomato, social priority, think
about it all the pasta we collected doing pasta tone
this year in June. We were out already because we

(08:13):
don't do like we used to do the first year
or nineteen years ago, three hundred kids a day. Now
we have five thousand meals of the day. I mean,
when in June you run out of pasta and tomato,
you know that you save a lot of them because
we have a pallet ballet of pasta donated during the year.
And that's why I'm looking for pasta tone and for

(08:34):
that reason because we need it.

Speaker 1 (08:36):
Absolutely.

Speaker 3 (08:37):
There's always people ask for more also as well as
can you do? Can you help us? I'm a guy
who really say no if I say no, because you
don't deserve it. But we just say yester ninety nine
percent of the time.

Speaker 1 (08:50):
So you say no to Bill handle a lot always. Yeah,
he doesn't deserve anything. I think he's gonna pop here, and.

Speaker 3 (08:56):
Well, let me be careful. He might keep my butt,
you know.

Speaker 1 (08:59):
Yeah, I can't get anybody's buddy, Bruno, God bless you
and all that you do with Katerina's Club, and thank.

Speaker 3 (09:05):
You told us this and all there. You know, I
love you all. Thank you guys and girls.

Speaker 1 (09:09):
Bye Chiao Bruno and everything he does with Katerina's Club,
and of course a brilliant chef in his own right
and all the things that he does with his team
there at the Anaheim White House, but just truly a
great leader and figurehead four everything that goes on with
Katerina's Club. We'll be back with more as we are

(09:29):
doing our part to launch the fourteenth Annuel Kfi Pasa
than here broadcasting live from Smart and Final today out
here in Lake Forrest. Come by, say hello, I'd love
to meet you, and we'll be back with more.

Speaker 4 (09:42):
You're listening to The Fork Report with Neil Savedra on
demand from KFI AM six forty.

Speaker 1 (09:49):
Hey everybody, it's the Fork Report. I'm Neil Savedra. We're
broadcasting live today out here in Lake Forest. Look at this,
say you guys are starting to come in now. God
bless you for taking the time to come out here
today as we do our part in launching our Pastathon
fourteenth annual. We're here in lake Forest at Smart and Final,
at the Extra Smart and Final. You can find us

(10:12):
here on Eltra Road. We'll be here till five o'clock.
Handle's going to join us a little later. That I
knew about. What I didn't know about is that this
young man to my left. Who young, No, that was
a long time ago, mister mo Kelly, Ladies and gentlemen, pubbled, humbled.

Speaker 3 (10:32):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (10:33):
People are great. KFI listeners are amazing. They come out
every year to donate and take care of Katarina's Club
and the kids in need, and it's always a cool thing,
like a start of the true holiday season is to
be out here and connect with all you good folks.
So how you doing. I didn't get to here last night,
but it's normally part of my listening regiment as you

(10:55):
know during the week and of course on Fridays, I
always love the Cult Classics and the game How To
Go Last Night.

Speaker 5 (11:02):
I keep trying to tell people. Sometimes I guess they
don't believe me. I have the best job in the
world and I love what I do. It so happens
that it's also my vocation. But I think it's my invocation.
It's something that I was put here to do. Yes,
we have a lot of fun, but also hopefully if
I'm doing my job correctly, bringing some people together and

(11:22):
movies is that focal point because we always have memories
tied to movies. We have good moments in our lives
tied to movies, and that's just an easy way where
on a Friday night, especially, we can come together, have
some laughs and maybe put some of the foolishness of
the news behind us and get.

Speaker 2 (11:39):
On with the weekend.

Speaker 1 (11:40):
There is something about those touch points in life. We
all have them. As we say, we can all remember that,
you know, smell of Grandma's house or grant you Graham, Grandpas.
Those types of things, right, And movies are milestones, right,
they mark certain times of our life. And last night Max,
my son, who's going to be eight sooner? My wife

(12:03):
Tracy eight. Yeah, he's going to be eight. M You're like,
shut it shut. I knew it was coming from somewhere
headphones on. I knew I was gonna catch you sooner
or later, but they were. We went to a roller
skating rink last night that had eighties nights and it
was it was the coolest thing to hear those songs.

(12:25):
They obviously take you back to that time. And you
wouldn't believe this looking at the two of us, but
we're just about the same age.

Speaker 2 (12:32):
I'm much younger than you.

Speaker 1 (12:33):
You're pretty clear you're like six months younger than me.
So walk it off four months carry the one. Okay, okay, okay, okay, yeah, okay.
I went to la USD so uh it is cool.
And those movies that you know, whenever you go down
that path, and we've done this on and off the air,

(12:54):
you get you start talking about certain movies or certain
things that are markers for your life. What is the
one movie that you think is quintessentially eighties for you?

Speaker 5 (13:05):
For me, it's the Karate Kid. Oh yeah, And that's
part of the reason. Because the Karate Kid happened in
the school which looked exactly like mine of South Torrence
High School, it felt like it.

Speaker 2 (13:16):
I felt like I could have been at that school.

Speaker 5 (13:19):
And that was at a time in which bullies were
well defined.

Speaker 2 (13:24):
Bullying.

Speaker 5 (13:25):
Now with social media, it takes on this amorphous thing
where you can't always know who it is. But back
then I graduated in nineteen eighty seven, the bully was
right there in your face and there were physical consequences.
And it was because of that movie and also another
movie called The Last Dragon, that I got into martial arts.
And so you can have these moments where movies kind

(13:48):
of direct you through life. And since then, I've been
in martial arts for the better part of thirty nine years,
and I can trace it directly back to The Karate Kid.

Speaker 2 (13:57):
A movie.

Speaker 1 (13:59):
Who was hurting you back then?

Speaker 2 (14:01):
Oh, I can actually tell you the person's.

Speaker 1 (14:03):
No, seriously, you had a bully.

Speaker 5 (14:05):
Yes, I won't give you his last name, but his
first name is Chad, and Chad.

Speaker 1 (14:10):
Was sound bullied by a guy named Chad.

Speaker 2 (14:13):
Look true story. Chad ended up going to prison for murder.

Speaker 1 (14:20):
So what'd you do?

Speaker 3 (14:22):
What you do?

Speaker 5 (14:23):
I was one of many people who was bullied by
this particular individual. And you never know how moments in
your life can direct you, inspire you, or motivate you.

Speaker 1 (14:35):
Maybe if you would have whooped his backside, then he
wouldn't be in prison. Now, did you think about that?

Speaker 2 (14:40):
No, it's funny because my dad he did it.

Speaker 3 (14:43):
No.

Speaker 2 (14:43):
Look, you when you're growing up, you're trying to find yourself.
You're unsure of yourself.

Speaker 1 (14:47):
Hold that thought. I'm up against the break, but I
want to hang out more. Mister mo Kelly's with us,
ladies and gentlemen. We will be back with more as
we broadcast live today in Lake Forest at Smart and
Final here on ELTI or a Road, So go nowhere.

Speaker 4 (15:02):
You're listening to the Fork Report with Nil Sevadra on
demand from KFI AM six forty.

Speaker 1 (15:08):
Your friendly neighborhood Fork Reporter here with Moe Kelly and
Bill Handle showed up. He walked in and I just
I don't know if you guys thought overheard the sweetest
moment between Handel and Bruno from Catarina's Club and of
course the Anaheim White House and Bill just came up
to him, gave him a big hug, and he says, Bruno,

(15:29):
it's good, so good to see you. And Bruno looked
up in his eyes and he said.

Speaker 6 (15:33):
Bill, the kids pasta and it was just so sweet.

Speaker 1 (15:46):
You don't always get to witness that, and to see
it here was magical. Okay. So we were talking with
Moe Kelly. He has heard every Monday through Friday, every
week on KFI. Of course, from six o'clock to ten o'clock.
You give me an extra seven o'clock to ten o'clock.
I just try and wish away an hour of Conway.

Speaker 2 (16:08):
You know.

Speaker 1 (16:08):
It's not because I don't love Conway, but he likes
to nap, so I know he could use it. So
we were talking about movies. We were talking about the
eighties Quintessential and you went The Last Dragon and obviously
into the Karate Kid, the original Karate Kid. Yes, so
now you're kind of living it all over by being

(16:29):
able to watch Cobra Kai.

Speaker 5 (16:31):
It's not only that, it's to be able to realize
that Daniel LaRusso, the chief character, is sixty three years old.

Speaker 1 (16:39):
Yeah, and just got his star on the Walk of Fame.

Speaker 5 (16:42):
I mean He's a good ten years older than mister
Bianki was in that movie.

Speaker 1 (16:46):
Oh, I never thought of it that way.

Speaker 5 (16:48):
And if you remember Karate Kid three, when you had
Terry Silver the newer bad guy, older bad guy from
Cobra Kai Daniel LaRusso. Actually, ecuse me, Ralph Maushaw was
actually older than Thomas Ian Griffith.

Speaker 2 (17:04):
Oh wow in that movie.

Speaker 1 (17:05):
Who you know What's funny is his career never took
off the way I thought because I loved him as
a martial artist in film.

Speaker 2 (17:11):
It took off in a different direction.

Speaker 5 (17:13):
Now he got a star on the Hollywood Rocker Fame
for television, where I only think of him in movies.
I think of him and my cousin Vinnie. I think
of him in the outside.

Speaker 1 (17:24):
No, I was talking about Thomas Ian Oh, Thomas and Griffith. Okay, yeah,
as a martial artist. I really enjoyed his movies and
then but it never took handsome guy actually a good
actor and fun to watch.

Speaker 5 (17:35):
But he's having a rebirth just like many of the
original cast, and people may not know. I had the
opportunity to interview William Zapka Johnny Lawrence very early on
in my career at KFI thanks to this guy, this
guy right here, because I guess they go way back,
and you made a call one day and you call
him Billy. He's William to me. But he was nice
enough to come on the air, and that was one

(17:55):
of those full circle moments like, wait a minute, I'm
in martial arts just because of you as a bully
in many ways and the karate kid. Now I am
talking to you on the air on my show on KFI.
That was back in twenty twelve, So let me just
say again, thank.

Speaker 2 (18:09):
You very much.

Speaker 1 (18:10):
And it's funny. And I met him because he's a
person of faith and we met a long time ago
and through mutual friends, and it is interesting how things
come full circle in life and how we have, you know,
growing up in southern California, you know, our own unique experiences,
but there's similarities there that track with the time and
the period and the films and the music and the

(18:33):
things that engaged us as you know, teens back then.
So when you're doing your cult classics and doing playing
those you know, I mean, there's plenty of news, there's
always stuff to talk about. Why do you take the
time out on a Friday to say, you know what,
let's relax a little bit and have some fun.

Speaker 5 (18:53):
Well, when I come on, it's seven o'clock on a
Friday in that instance, and just about everyone has heard
the same news story over and over again by then.
You got it. You know someone got hurt on the metro,
got it. You know there's something going on with city council,
got it. You know that the LA's going to hell
in a handbasket, got it? Okay, me talking about that

(19:14):
same thing just from another angle.

Speaker 2 (19:15):
It's not exactly all that interesting or entertaining.

Speaker 5 (19:18):
So why not have just a little bit of fun,
get off the dirt from the weak, the stank of
the wake, as I would call it, and let's have
a little bit of laughter. Let's have just a little
bit of a reminder of what's good about this place
in which we live, this time in which we live.
And that's the whole point I mean, because no one
wants to go through their daily lives hopefully mad about

(19:41):
everything all the time.

Speaker 1 (19:44):
I don't know, ye Handle and John Cobalt have made
a nice living doing that.

Speaker 5 (19:49):
Well, that's not who I am, and you know he Yeah, look,
I'm trying to stay around here a little longer.

Speaker 3 (19:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (19:56):
Yeah, I want to tell you though, that isn't that
true that because this stuff stays with you, the weight
of it to us.

Speaker 5 (20:01):
There are times where I will leave the station and
we don't have the luxury of turning off the news
because we're aware of everything at all times. And there
are times where I said, gosh, I just I just
had enough. I need to be able to just breathe.
I want to go home and play with my dogs.
I just want to laugh. And my job, I think, humbly,
is if I can get someone to listen just for
a little while and laugh a little while.

Speaker 2 (20:21):
And maybe learn something about something they didn't.

Speaker 5 (20:23):
Know about, just a little more than before that, I
think I've done my job because I'm not trying to
get anyone to vote a certain way.

Speaker 2 (20:28):
I'm not get someone trying to feel a certain way
about the city. I try to tell people what I
think about.

Speaker 5 (20:34):
The world, and you know, show my math and let
people know where I'm coming from. But at the end
of the day, I love people. Yeah, that's that's the
most important.

Speaker 1 (20:44):
I thought. I heard handle say, I don't No, he doesn't.
Oh no, yeah, so yeah, it is different. That's why
you want to engage. Hopefully that's at the core of
any of us that do what we do, is want
to engage with people. But it is funny to see
how all those pieces come together, and sometimes we want
to steer away from the news. I remember a time
on the Tim and Neil Show, way way way way

(21:06):
back when I actually was reading a story, a news story,
and a woman and a child was hurt and I
had a panic attack on the air. I don't think
you've ever told me this, say, I don't think I
ever told them while it was happening on the air
or anything like that, because the news it was so
ugly to me and that it triggered me. And I

(21:27):
remember thinking, you know, trying to suck it up and
finish what I was doing. And it does. It gets
heavy sometimes, which is why I talk about God and
food mostly.

Speaker 3 (21:37):
Well.

Speaker 5 (21:37):
I remember one of my mentors told me, look, mo,
if you're going to be on the radio every single day,
you have to know that people don't care about your problems.
They tune in to get away from their problems, and
if you're just going to remind them of their problems,
you don't serve any purpose.

Speaker 2 (21:52):
And there are days in which I've had a bad day.
Let me tell you. I mean, I could be in
a horrible mood, but I can't bring that to you.

Speaker 5 (21:58):
And hopefully, if i'm you know, dwelling in my purpose,
I'm offering something to allow you to escape your lives
for just a minute and maybe just the eight minutes
that you're in your car on the way to the
grocery store.

Speaker 2 (22:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (22:11):
But the hardest part about our job is making sure
that it's about them and not us.

Speaker 6 (22:17):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (22:18):
It's It's great because they have that time. They feel
like you've lifted that weight off their shoulders on the
way to the grocery store, and then they go in
and go how much for what?

Speaker 2 (22:29):
Right?

Speaker 1 (22:32):
Which is why we're here at Smart and Finals. Well
play all right, It is the Fork Report, I nilservader.

single Monday through Friday, every week here on KFI. Will

place in San Juan Capistrantos, So I'm moving down to
San Juan.

Speaker 1 (24:31):
You couldn't get any further away from the radio station
if you bought a place in TJ. That's true. That's true.
So you know, but you know, we all do.

Speaker 4 (24:40):
You know, you do some.

Speaker 1 (24:41):
Home studio stuff. I'll do home studio stuff. It's just
after COVID, you know.

Speaker 8 (24:45):
It's you know, the Smart and Final did some home
shopping stuff. You know, they set up in people, their
managers' homes.

Speaker 1 (24:53):
They said everyone works there. Yeah, so when you wanted
to return a cart that comes from his house.

Speaker 7 (24:59):
And this is a huge Smart and five.

Speaker 1 (25:02):
I said this on the air the other day. This
is one of my absolute favorites.

Speaker 2 (25:05):
It is.

Speaker 1 (25:05):
I joke about it being extra, but seriously, it's it's
an impressive It's really, it's an impressive location. A lot
of stuff. Prices are amazing, and and the best pork rolls.
Don't tell my Rabbi. The best pork rolls on the
planet are are here, and they're not kosher. They are not.
They are not.

Speaker 7 (25:25):
They're really good.

Speaker 1 (25:26):
Not enough praying, not enough praying you could do over pork.

Speaker 8 (25:31):
And this is so nice if Smart and Final this
is what year are they involved with.

Speaker 1 (25:35):
Postifon now Michelle show how many years? How many years
smartin Final been with us?

Speaker 2 (25:39):
At least five?

Speaker 1 (25:41):
Really eight year? Eight seven, seven year?

Speaker 8 (25:43):
And they are so great to uh to Katerina's club
and it's it's always a big thank you.

Speaker 1 (25:50):
So we broadcast here and in a Smart and Final
store and is that still in Nevada and Arizona and
then here in California as well, So all of them
you can go into and you could donate anything at
the checkout. It's super easy and they make it about
as simple as you can get. And they've been wonderful partners.

Speaker 8 (26:09):
I'm gonna go up there right now and donate and
they're gonna go, wait a second, don't you want more decimals?

Speaker 1 (26:15):
They go, no, this is fine.

Speaker 8 (26:17):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (26:19):
We don't talk about this because of the legal repercussions.
But Handle twice during this time of the year has
gotten caught as he gave a dollar stealing a couple
packs of gum. Yeah, so take out one. That's why.
Here's a little heads up.

Speaker 8 (26:34):
When you put money into a tin cup with blind
people holding it, okay you if you shake it at
the same time, you can actually take out more money
than you put in and they don't know the difference.

Speaker 1 (26:50):
Handle puts a little wax on a quarter in a
little string. Now, yes, the sticky bandit, mister bill Handle. Anyway,
this is great.

Speaker 8 (26:59):
Fine, I know you did every year and we have
people they're standing. I mean usually broadcasts they have seats
and people are standing, which is kind of neat.

Speaker 1 (27:07):
It was a couple of people sitting on the yams earlier.
But we asked him, because I'm not going to I'm
not going to touch that one. Sure you will, Yeah,
I will. That's true.

Speaker 7 (27:17):
That's Truechelle. How much money did Smart and Final race
last year? Four hundred thousand last year?

Speaker 8 (27:25):
And when we started KFI started with him, what fourteen
years ago, it was two hundred kids a night. Bruno
was feeding a couple of hundred kids and he would
do it out of his kitchen, and then that grew
and he put a pasta machine or a pasta cooker
in his kitchen at the Anaheim White House by the

(27:46):
way great restaurant.

Speaker 7 (27:47):
And all of a sudden it exploded.

Speaker 8 (27:51):
And as you've heard today, it's twenty five thousand meals
a week.

Speaker 7 (27:54):
I mean, it's just beyond comprehension. And yeah, that's he's
not here.

Speaker 1 (27:59):
Don't bother. Okay, he's already left. Yes, he's already left.

Speaker 8 (28:05):
And Smart and Final Wendy's has become a partner and
it's just really neat. So you know, on your way out,
please go donate, you cheap bastards.

Speaker 7 (28:18):
I want to see some sweet talker.

Speaker 1 (28:22):
But the good thing about being here, Smart and Final,
you can do it two ways. Not only can you
donate any amount of money, and trust me, the money
is important and it goes to the same great cause,
but you can also stock up on pasta and sauce here.
Those are immediate needs that go into the bellies of
local children immediately. So keep that in my mind as well.

(28:44):
If they're coming out.

Speaker 7 (28:45):
Immediately, like they cook it right here as so as
they buy it.

Speaker 1 (28:48):
No, they can do extra al dente. The kids chew
on the raw pasta and then they dip it in
the sauce and pass it on.

Speaker 7 (28:55):
Hey, anybody out at Wendy's Last night with Tim.

Speaker 3 (28:58):
Oh that would.

Speaker 1 (29:00):
It sounded so great? It did sound great.

Speaker 8 (29:03):
And by the way, what's the management here, I'm going
to talk to them.

Speaker 7 (29:08):
I got free food at Wendy's.

Speaker 8 (29:11):
Okay, I just want to point that out, man, you
hand that over here, you know, just tell me.

Speaker 1 (29:17):
Where I go. H just great, great burgers. By the way,
they've got a bakery.

Speaker 8 (29:23):
Anyway, Thank you for your help, because it's it's pretty important.
As much as I hate those little kids, it's uh
still you know.

Speaker 7 (29:32):
I mean they got to eat, right, Yeah, I guess
yeah and yeah.

Speaker 1 (29:35):
Dandall's belief is if the kids are eating, they're not talking. Yes,
that's true. That's true. All right, I'm bored, Jenson. I'm
done now. You know what it feels like to them
listen to your show. Yeah, that's true. You're just done.

Speaker 7 (29:50):

with a shopping cart and just start throwing things in.
