I don't know why, but I just love Christmas.
I love the colors, I loveeverything.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
I love fall.
Yes, you know I love the colors, the change.
I'm not a huge fan of theweather.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Me neither.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
It really affects me mentally.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
It's just cold.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
It's cold, gloomy, dreary, and it's just not
optimal for mental health.
I don't believe.
No, and then also the timechange, yeah, time change sucks
too, but anyways, Christmas timeit might have been one of my
favorite holidays when I was akid.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
You know, obviously when you're a kid you don't
think unless you're reallyraised really well, you don't
really think about giving asmuch as you you're looking
forward to receiving right nowit's about giving for me.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Love to give.
I give the shirt off my back, Idon't, you know, and I actually
did that and we'll talk aboutthat later on I actually did
that over at Eagle Mountain atthe Raider Watch Party.
Yeah, but Christmas, yeah, it'sstill up there, I think, for me
.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
It's more for the girls, though.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Halloween is hard for me to beat.
I think it's just fun for somereason Fun to see the costumes,
fun to see the kids come around,trick or treat, everything else
.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Do you like Halloween more than Christmas?
I might, because I think a lotof people have the wrong idea
about Christmas.
I mean, yeah, a lot of peopledo.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
It's not celebrated correctly.
I don't think.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
It's not.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
I think it's been materialized For sure.
Materialized for sure.
It's all about money, materialitems, um, and people that weigh
and rely way too heavily onthat, rather than a genuine,
well-planned out gift yeah agenuine like.
(02:59):
Those are my favorite gifts,gifts that somebody is going to
get to use on a day in and dayout basis yeah not just some
fucking random junk that you'regoing to give somebody and hey,
I bought you something and itdoesn't really mean anything.
I didn't put much thought intoit, didn't put much effort into
it, I just put money into ityeah and that's just wrong for
(03:20):
me.
I don't like it yeah, I agreeyeah, christmas is beautiful.
I love uh, as as a parent nowwith five daughters and omar,
and you know yeah it's a uh.
It's been a beautiful thing thelast two or three years with our
girls.
And we have these big old, huge.
Well, you can't even call themstockings, they're not.
(03:43):
They are called Santa Sacks.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Oh, we are so spoiled around here.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Yeah, we'll have to put a picture up for you guys.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Yeah, I think I posted one.
It's up on Instagram andFacebook of our stockings with
their pictures above it.
Yeah, yeah, but they have theirnames on them.
They're all customized.
There's just huge Santa sacks.
It's like 50 stockings in asack.
Yeah, it's ridiculous and wehave filled them up before.
(04:13):
Yes, mom used to take such agreat amount of effort and pride
and thought into her stockings.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
My stockings as a young man, a young boy growing
up, often rivaled my presence.
I feel like yeah.
I had amazing shit in mystockings.
I didn't, I didn't have any,you didn't have a stocking.
Are we going?
Speaker 1 (04:43):
to play a pity party right now.
You didn't have Christ, Ididn't have any.
You didn't have a stocking, arewe?
Speaker 2 (04:46):
going to play a pity party right now.
You didn't have Christmases andstuff.
Growing up I didn't have astocking.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
I didn't have a stocking, so for me it's like it
means a lot that I can do thatfor the girls.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
So let me ask is that a cultural thing?
Does the white community?
They do, okay.
They do stockings, yeah, allright, because it's not like I'm
in a whole bunch of people'shouses and notice whether or not
they have stockings or not?
Oh, you must be Mexican.
No, that's a white person'shouse.
(05:17):
They got a stocking hanging upsomewhere.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
No, we didn't do stockings.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
So what do we got?
We got a black Christmas tree.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
So what do?
Speaker 2 (05:25):
we got, we got a black Christmas tree.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Yes, we love it.
Oh, I absolutely love it.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
It's a beautiful Christmas tree?
Yes, and it is obviously faux,because there's no such thing as
a black Christmas tree.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
No.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
I mean, I guess somebody could like engineer it
like they do poinsettias orwhatever, and put dye in the
Well, maybe I suppose they could, and you can get a fresh tree
with different colors.
I don't know if that's how itwould work, though.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Probably way too much effort and work to create a
custom.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
I'm just not all about picking up the little
pines.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Oh, the little pine cone or the pine needles.
So yeah, I'm just like I don'twant to be spending my time
vacuuming those up.
Yeah, my mom loved um.
So there's like different typesof trees right, there's like a
douglas fir and there's otherones, and my mom kind of liked
these charlie brown lookingchristmas trees, kind of like
(06:18):
the bear ones, like you couldsee more of them right and my
mom used to meticulously getthat.
Those silver string things looklike I don't know silver strings
and a lot of people grab themand they like just toss them at
this tree, you know.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
So they just fall on it or whatnot okay, see I I know
what you're talking about.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
My mom one by one, she did not.
Swear to God, Swear to God.
My mom used to go a tinsel.
Is it called tinsel?
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Yeah, I think so yeah .
Speaker 2 (06:53):
One by one.
She used to decorate theChristmas tree with tinsel, one
at a time.
She didn't grab a handful, shedidn't grab two, she didn't grab
20.
One singular tinsel at a time.
But I mean, you're not muchbetter you have.
You have your, your, our treedecorated very meticulously as
(07:14):
well.
Yeah, we got huge ornaments, wegot little ornaments, we got
ribbons.
We have, did we put the uhmistletoes in there?
The little berries, yeah, okay,yeah, yeah, they're in there.
Oh, I see them now.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Yeah, yeah, I'm very OCD about our tree, huh.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Yeah, you're super festive, super OCD about that.
That's one of your yeah likeyou know.
I wouldn't even say OCD, you'rejust passionate and you love it
.
There's nothing wrong with that.
It's just like my balloons,like I, just yeah yeah, it's
like any of our art.
You want your art to bepresentable.
Yeah, whether you're playingmusic, whether you're doing
balloons, whatever you're doing,whatever you're producing, you
(07:53):
want it to be great quality yeahand well, and this year too, I
had to decorate the christmastree all the way around you know
the first world problems okayyeah, you had to decorate it all
around because you wanted it tobe viewed from the street, in
the window, by anybody thatpasses by the house, so that
(08:13):
backside had to look presentableyes any other time anybody
else's house that's not in frontof a.
They only decorate like threequarters of it.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Right, they don't do the very back yeah, but we just
have that big old window in thefront.
Yeah, not going to let it lookcrappy.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Oh, it looks beautiful.
It looks beautiful.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
It came out great.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
We got the big old jingle bells outside hanging up,
huge jingle bells Like threefeet wide jingle bell.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Just need to get our guy to come and do the lights.
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Just need to get our guy to come and do the lights.
Yeah, you know what I wasthinking about doing the Govees.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Oh, okay.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
The Govee lights around the house, because we can
also program that to provideillumination or glow to the
house you know for security andsafety features.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
And it's not just limited to Christmas lights,
right.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
That's cool.
But we can do that and we canprobably sync it to some music
and just blast it out of here,oh yeah.
Just lights dancing all overthe house.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
That'd be fun.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Play a bunch of Christmas music real loud
outside, speaking of peopleplaying music real loud outside
we have this little borrachoBorracho.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Borracho.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Borracho, like two houses north of us.
This little drunk guy, littleHispanic guy, doesn't speak much
English.
He was drunk as hell.
Drunk, drunk, yeah, reallydrunk.
He had a beer in his handstumbling all over the yard.
Yeah, really drunk.
(09:45):
He had a beer in his hand,stumbling all over the yard.
Well, this guy decided to parkhis truck in the middle of the
street, in the middle, not in alane, but in the middle of it,
Blaring music, you know, cumbiasor banda, whatever it was right
.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Hispanic music, which , again, I don't care.
I grew up in Arvin.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
I know this music.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
I love the music, but not 11 o'clock at night.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
No.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
And I guess he's been battling our neighbor across
the street for a while.
Good old boy across the streetgoes out there and gets into it
with him all the time and I justwent up to him.
I was like, hey man, what'sgoing on over here?
He's like are you all right?
(10:31):
He was like no ingles.
I was like well, my wife speaksSpanish, man, so I'm still
going to ask you if you're allright.
I was like look man.
I say look, get in your truck,get it parked, turn the music
off, close the door, go inside,get some rest.
Man, sleep this shit off.
Whatever you're hurting from,whatever is affecting you you
(10:53):
know seasonal depression, youknow time of the year,
gloominess outside, whatever itis, whatever.
Has you drinking and drunk at11 o'clock at night on a Sunday?
Has you drinking and drunk at11 o'clock at night on a Sunday?
Um, and?
And parking your truck in themiddle of the street with the
lights on, with the hazards on,door wide open, sat out there in
the middle of the street forlike 30 minutes, um, yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
He, uh, he came over afterwards and uh, shook my hand
, apologized yeah, it's not abig deal, man, you know shit
happens, you know.
Just hey, let's try to correctit and let's try not to get you
going to jail.
Get your ass in your house andget some rest.
Yeah, get it together, man.
Pull yourself together,especially if you have kids or
anything else.
(11:39):
You got little people relyingon you.
You know, straighten up up manyeah, but we all struggle,
everybody does yeah, but youknow he listens to gordon oh,
man, the neighbor.
So the neighbor, the good oldboy across the street, man, uh,
I guess he's been battling withthe guy for a while and it
happens every so often wherehe's just blasting his music and
(12:00):
pissing the the good old boyacross the street off, probably
amongst many other neighbors,but the good old boy across the
street off probably amongst manyother neighbors.
But the good old boy across thestreet's a little more
confrontational and aggressive.
But anyways, when he came overto shake my hand, the good old
boy was over here on my side ofthe street and he said I
apologize, I'm sorry, I'm sorry,I apologize.
I was like hey, man, it's allright, don't worry about it.
(12:21):
And he tried to apologize tothe good old boy and the good
old boy wasn't having it Like hehas had enough.
Apparently this has been goingon for years and he's just
fucking over it.
And then, is what happened?
Is the guy said I'm going toturn it down, I'm done, I'm
going to go bed, he said.
And the good old boy was likeoh, you're going to listen to
Gordon.
I was like oh, you're going tolisten to Gordon.
(12:46):
I was like well, is that yourconcern?
Is that the guy took to me alittle bit better than he took
to you, because my approach wasa little bit different than your
approach and you know, maybesugar does attract more bees
than honey does than vinegar, orwhatever the saying is Like I
went over there, I wasn'taggressive or anything.
I mean, I guess I'm imposingand I'd look somewhat
(13:06):
intimidating, I guess, which isnot the goal, obviously.
Just people have stigmas aboutvarious things bald-headed white
guys, there's a stigma.
Tattoos on hands and necks andfingers and every other place
there's a stigma yeah so peopleautomatically make assumptions
about things, whether they'reright or wrong.
(13:27):
Uh, they'll just have to findthat out on their own.
So, yeah, that was.
Uh, that was last night.
Um, we also, when we weredigging out the christmas stuff,
we uh dug out some of Gordon'schildhood memories.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
And I was able to keep quite a few things as a kid
and I know my mom helped, right, but I still have quite a few
things as a kid.
So we get through this box andI actually have LPs.
I actually have records thatwere from 1978.
I was born in 1980.
(14:06):
I've had these records since1980, 83, 84, somewhere around
there, when I was a young man,young boy, toddler.
And it's just a weird thing tocome full circle to see LPs that
you had 40 years ago and you'redoing LPs and DJing and
everything else now.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
It's a real strange thing.
You never know, I guess.
But anyways, the other strangecoincidence is that most of them
were Disney and Mickey Mousealbums, which, if anybody knows
anything about Marion, she isone of the biggest Mickey Mouse
fans in the world.
So another very, very strangecoincidence, right.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Like almost somebody's up there pulling
strings and you know, somethings are just predetermined
maybe.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Who knows?
Speaker 2 (14:55):
I don't know.
I don't speculate on it.
I'll find out when I die.
I'm not going to tell anybodylies about what's going to
happen and what's not going tohappen, I have no idea.
We'll find out when we die.
Though, memento mori, death isinevitable and it should not be
feared.
It's going to happen to all ofus.
Well, on a lighter note,because that got dark pretty
(15:19):
quick, we started upgrading ourkitchen appliances and we got a
Vitamix Vitamix yeah, vitamixand a KitchenAid food processor
food processor, so a Vitamixblender and a KitchenAid food
processor.
I think the KitchenAid foodprocessor was like 13 cups yeah,
(15:41):
and.
I think the Vitamix was eighteight cups yeah, somewhere
around there, and she alreadyused them.
What did you make today?
Speaker 1 (15:49):
I made panes con pollo.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
And apparently she is one of the greatest panes con
pollo chefs in the world,according to sources beyond
herself.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
You and Omar.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
The whole family loves you.
They always want you to make it, and you once owned a sandwich
truck.

around the kitchen, you knowyour way around utilities and
everything else.

Yeah, they're pretty good.
It's a decent brand.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
It's a decent brand.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
I mean it's not Kirkland or something, but I'm
sure Kirkland probably.
They probably have good knivestoo, yeah they probably go
through a company and you know,resell or whatever, and it's the
(18:35):
same shit as.
Cuisinart or whoever else.
Yeah, all right.
Well, the kitchen.
Um, we just had a wedding againup in, uh, the nirvana estates.
Yes, um, amy and adam nash um,definitely wasn't.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
It gets easier as it cools down except for the cords.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Oh yeah, Our cords are hey, I don't know if any
other DJs and you know audiovideo and entertainment people
are out there, but these goddamnpower cords and stuff get so
hard in cold weather, yeah, andit is so hard to wrap them up
and twist them and turn them andcable manage them.
Basically it's ridiculous andyeah, it's, it was freezing, it
(19:11):
was cold it was freezing wecould not only see our breath,
but the people that were on thedance floor.
Several of them had steamcoming off their heads.
Yeah so, which is a good thing,right you?
You want to stay warm.
You got three options to staywarm right clothes, alcohol and
dancing and we had all of thoseyeah yeah, it was a beautiful
(19:36):
wedding.
We uh, we do the uh, the goodold anniversary dance and we
start eliminating couples.
You know, five to ten years ata time.
You know, if you haven't beenmarried five years, please exit,
exit the dance floor.
Make some noise for yourself.
You know, five years is still agreat accomplishment and it's
always interesting and lovely tosee the last couple standing
(19:59):
with the bride and groom right.
So we got it narrowed down to acouple that had been married 66
years.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
That's amazing.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
And it's a beautiful thing that we not only get to
celebrate the Nash's wedding butwe also get to celebrate the
success of somebody else'smarriage and the hope that we
can all have that we can seethat it's possible to live with
somebody, be happy with somebody, adventure with somebody, that
(20:30):
you with somebody adventure withsomebody.
You're forever somebody right.
Yeah, it's a wonderful thing andI think it's a great thing to
do at weddings, because I thinkthe bride and groom can see that
, yes, and for me it's like, hey, those are the people I'm going
to for advice.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
You've been married 66 years.
Hey, I got a question.

Speaker 2 (20:58):
Patience, forgiveness , empathy, compassion a lot of
emotional intangibles.
Speaker 1 (21:05):

Mama Roomba's.
It was my first time there.
I'd never been there in my life.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
My second time.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Obviously as a Bakersfield native and it had
been there.
It's been there 17 plus years,I think.
They said I had never beenthere and obviously I had been
downtown multiple times, severaltimes.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Yeah, because you did like that other restaurant.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Yeah, I like that Two Goats and a Goose in the alley.
I think they're extremely,extremely underrated and slept
on in Bakersfield.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
Yeah, and it's a beautiful.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Yeah, it's a nice little spot.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Yeah, but anyways, what did we order from Mama
Roomba's?
Speaker 1 (22:27):
We ordered fried chicken.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Yeah, what kind of fried chicken was it?
Caribbean, caribbean.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
Yeah, like a Latin something.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Some kind of twist.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Yeah, it was so good.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Yeah.
Oh, it was good quality meat,right?
Yeah, it wasn't cheap asschicken strips.
They were big hearty.
They might might as well justsliced a chicken breast in half
or something and that was twochicken strips, right?
Uh, breaded nicely, had a nicecrunch on the outside, very
juicy, moist on the inside itcame with like a pineapple sauce
(22:59):
on the side sauce or something.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Okay, it was so good.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
And then we had sweet potato fries and their ketchup
has some kind of uh spice in ittoo.
Yes, and that was arguably thespicy part of the entire meal.
It was still delicious, though.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
Yes, yes, like we couldn't stop eating it.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
No, we ate it all.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
Even though it was spicy, we couldn't stop eating
it.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
And then, what was the beef?
Speaker 1 (23:20):
It was like.
It was like a beef stew.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
That's all I can say is it's something like a beef
stew.
It had the consistency of ofbeef that had been in a crock
pot stewing you know all day,but it wasn't like it wasn't
beef stew.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
It had a different um it was more like um for me.
It kind of reminded me a littlebit like the filling for
tamales okay like a beef oneyeah, yeah but it was.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
It still was a little bit different yeah, yeah, but
it was good but it was deliciousyeah, it was it felt home yeah,
it felt kind of home cooked inthere.
Yeah um, we went back over tooff the rails and hung out for a
little bit, but we had to leavebecause we had the wedding the
next day we, we were done, wewere tired.
Yeah.
(24:17):
And we also went up to EagleMountain with Rich and Ricky
came with us.
They had a Raider watch partyup there, so we all met over at
Chewy's.
There was a couple buses thattook a bunch of people from
Bakersfield up to Eagle Mountain.
We just drove behind Rich and Ithink it was Gabe and Monks and
helped Rich up there and gothim all set up and got
(24:41):
everything hooked up, connected,ready to go and you got to do
your favorite thing in the world.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
I to play, I love to play, I do what was the first
machine you jumped on?
Speaker 2 (24:57):
um top dollar top dollar it's a good one it was
tough, but it didn't get it andhit it didn't proc uh-uh, we put
a hundred in there and itdidn't prop well, you can't be
just throwing numbers out thereand telling people how much you
spend at the casino well, thatwas the first machine but that's
even worse because everybodyknows that you already threw 101
(25:20):
machine.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
That was the first machine and we were there.
For what six hours we were?
Speaker 2 (25:27):
there for a long time .
I think we got there at like 9am yeah and we were there until
5 pm.
Yeah, 9 am to 5 pm.
Uh, raider game against thechiefs almost pulled it out, but
everybody knows what happenedthere.
Yeah, there was a false start,whistle blew, refs ran onto the
field indicating a false start,blowing the whistle and then, of
(25:50):
course, in true NFL and Raiderfashion, the officials, huddled
up off to the side somewhere,figured out what penalty they
could change it to.
So it would remain a live ball,so that Kansas City could
secure their win, because theRaiders were about to beat them.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
That's shitty.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Yeah, it's real terrible.
The Raiders, I guess, aresubmitting video to the NFL like
it's going to help, right?
The NFL already seen it, theyknow.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
But the.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
Raiders.
They have to go through thatprocess.
They're sending it off to theNFL to say hey, we have video
footage showing the refsignaling offsides.
We heard the whistle on thesides, that's a dead ball yeah,
and nothing else can happenafter that.
It's a dead ball, um.
But you know they, they like toscrew the raiders, but we, we
like to screw ourselves too.
(26:38):
I'm not even going to be thatkind of raider fan, because we
do some dumb shit too yeah butanyways, uh got to take a
picture with Gorilla Rilla.
Violator, senior Raider Lil EasyE, dj Yella.
Rick went crazy.
His son is a fan, so Rick gotthe flyer, had them sign the
(27:02):
flyer, rick had him sign his ownshirt and Rick had him sign his
own hat and then by the end ofthe evening, when everything was
wrapping up, I just you know, Ihad my Raider jersey on my Max
Crosby jersey, day one RexCrosby jersey, not like all you
other clowns that just jumped onthe bandwagon and grabbed a Max
(27:23):
Crosby jersey because hestarted producing.
No, I had the Max Crosby jerseyas a rookie, so y'all can get
the hell out of here with allthat silly bandwagon shit.
Yeah, I got derailed there alittle bit.
I'm a little bit passionateabout all these bandwagon
Bakersfield people Hate thatshit.
So I was like you know what.
(27:47):
I took my jersey off and I gaveit to ricky.
I said, ricky man, let's, let'sget yellow and little easy to
sign this jersey so you can giveit to your son who he was going
to pick up that night uh for uh, his, his custody or whatever,
and uh, it was wonderful, he hada great time.
(28:07):
He said one of of the.
He really needed it.
And you know a lot of peopleyou know.
I felt like he needed it, so Iwas trying to go hang out with
him, you know.
But yeah, rich was there.
Rich did his thing, rocked it.
He got on the mic, startedemceeing.
Danny was up there emceeing Ithink it was Danny Salas or
(28:30):
something.
He was up there emceeing.
Rick got the crowd going tooand did a great job.
I was proud of him.
He did a great job.
Awesome Yellow hooked right inEasy, little easy, performed.
It went great.
I was happy for him.
We had a loss in the family.
(28:52):
We did.
We had a pretty big loss for alittle guy but uh, we lost our
boy blue, our little frenchie.
He was, uh, three years oldroughly yeah he, uh, he fell ill
a few days back.
Well, maybe it was a week agonow, I don't know how long it

(29:42):
shots, antibiotics, whateverelse, did everything we could.
I laid with him all day.
He threw up on me a few timesand I just laid there in it, you
know, because it wasn'timportant to me.
It was more important that hewas comfortable and he felt
loved and he knew he wasn'talone.
That was what was important tome, because a lot of times dogs
will go die on their own, likethey don't like to die around
humans.
They'll go hide somewhere.
(30:03):
They'll go back behind abuilding, under a house,
whatever else he was trying todo yeah, yeah, I wouldn't let
him do it though but he, hepushed, he, he, he fought yeah,
he fought really hard and youknow he stood up and he was a
great dog he was a great littledog yeah little blue blue yeah
(30:27):

(33:25):
she did uh, summers, olivia'sand sophie's and yours and my
nails all the four of your nailsand then a few days later maybe
a week later, but I think itwas a few days the following
week we had her come back outbecause Kai wanted to get her
nails done.
Avery's not like that.
She didn't care about it, shedidn't want hers.
(33:47):
And then you wanted yours redone, filled in a little bit and a
color change.

All right, maybe I'll startdoing that on the side too no no

explains several issues withmyself.
I probably breathed in way toomany perm fumes and acrylic
(34:21):
fumes and nail polish removerfumes we're gonna have to talk
to mom and dyes and colors andall kinds of shit I probably
breathed in over there probablywasn't the best for me, for my
respiratory or my nervous system.
Probably those chemicals arebad for you.

Yeah, but at that time they didn't know that they
were bad for you.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
Well, they didn't know that alcohol and cigarettes
were bad for you and pregnantwomen were still using them.

Oh, Arnold's definitely goingto win today.
That's awesome, that's game overfor them.
(41:15):
Jared Judy, six receptions, 167yards and a TD.
Nice, lighten it up.
Cleveland is lighting it upwith Jemais and Judy.
That's good.
So Diddy's going to lose.
That's going to knock him downto might.
I'm moving up to 10-3.
He's going down lose, that'sgoing to knock him down to my
we're going to.
(41:36):
I'm moving up to 10 and three.
He's going down to 10 and three.
He wins the tiebreakercurrently, but if he loses next
week and I win next week, I'm insole first place.
So we're going to talk aboutthis fantasy football thing real
quick.
Arnold invited me and you knowI'm I'm friends with Arnold and
Ricky and, uh, I'm friends withArnold and Ricky and Johnny and
(42:00):
quite a few of them.
So they invited me to fantasyfootball this year and I haven't
played it.
I've never played it.
So I show up, I just walk in, Ibring myself, that's all I need
, right?
I mean, I didn't take it thatgoddamn seriously.
Speaker 1 (42:14):
I think it was a $100 buy-in, I think right $100
buy-in and I didn't take itseriously.
Speaker 2 (42:19):
It's like, look, I know football enough, I watch
football enough, I know players,I think I can draft a squad.
Speaker 1 (42:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (42:28):
So I get there and all of these fucking nerds have
binders, notebooks, laptops, allkinds of shit, and I'm just
thinking to myself oh, I'mfucked, I'm not prepared.
Yeah, I am not prepared.
Speaker 1 (42:47):
I was not prepared.
I didn't know how serious thisshit was.
You got up from your nap andthen took off.
Speaker 2 (42:50):
Yeah, I did no preparation, no nothing.
So I get the last pick of thedraft, which means I also get
the first pick of the secondround, right?
Speaker 1 (42:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (42:59):
So I got the last pick of the draft.
I came up at the rear like thecaboose I was last.
I mean, nine other players weredrafted before I got to start
drafting.
Speaker 1 (43:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (43:09):
But then I got to draft two back to back.
Uh-huh Right, they got to draftnine.
And then I got to draft twoback to back.
Uh-huh Right, they got to draftnine, and then I got to draft
two, and that happened everycycle.
Yeah, Throughout all the rounds.
So I go through my drafts and Istart drafting players and,
needless to say, it's turned outpretty good.
Speaker 1 (43:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (43:29):
I'm going to be in first place, possibly only
second, but I'm already clinchedthe playoffs.
I'm already I think I'mguaranteed money at this point.
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (43:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (43:39):
I don't care.
Speaker 1 (43:40):
The only reason I did ?
Speaker 2 (43:41):
it was to shoot the shit with the guys.
Speaker 1 (43:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (43:44):
To get on the on the chat, get on the group chat,
talk shit, endure a bunch ofAndroid hate for a while, until
they fixed that RCS messagingbetween Android and iPhone.
I was the green bubble boy, orwhatever the fuck they call me,
man.
I hate you iPhone people and Isay I hate you iPhone people.
Um, while I use a, a, a MacBookair, to DJ, um, I'm just not a
(44:11):
fan of their phones.
Their computing computingdevice is fine, I don't care.
Speaker 1 (44:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (44:16):
Their phones had a real bad taste in my mouth.
When, I don't know, I used tohave an iPhone 4 or something,
right Okay, and I didn't likeiTunes or whatever their music
management and I didn't likethat.
I wasn't able to put my ownmusic on there whether it was
pirated or not, you know, andAndroid lets you do that.
You can put all the files youwant on your Android.
You can install apps from othersources besides the play store
(44:40):
and you know the app store andstuff you know for private
developers that create cool apps, yeah.
So, anyways, they had all thesebinders and everything else and
I wasn't prepared, but I'malmost going into first place
right now and playoffs start theweek after next.
Speaker 1 (44:58):
Nice.
Speaker 2 (44:59):
Um, and I've just had a lot of fun just talking shit
to the guys in the chat.
Like I said, that's all Ireally wanted to do.
I just wanted to talk shit.
I made fun of them.
I lost my first two games.
I'm going to be 10 and threetoday and I lost my first two
games.
And when I lost my first twogames kind of like when I showed
up to the draft I was like I'mfucked.
I am.
(45:21):
This is an embarrassment.
I need my man card revoked.
I need my man card taken away.
This is not okay.
I'm a man, I need to win somefootball games.
And then, you know, I went on aseven game win streak or
something.
Eight game win streak, whatever.
Speaker 1 (45:36):
So if you win for next year, do you get to be
first?
Speaker 2 (45:41):
Yeah, I get the first pick Nice.
And not only do I get all themoney, but I get the first pick
Nice.
So if they think that I didwell this year, look out next
year.
Speaker 1 (45:51):
Motherfuckers, Right you look out next to your
motherfuckers you're in danger.
Speaker 2 (46:03):
Are you gonna do some homework this time?
No, I don't need to, I knowwhat the hell's going on?
get your notebook no, no, no,maybe your laptop, no, but I'm
gonna go up there with a posteror something says fucking nerds,
yeah, that's fun.
So fantasy football is going tobe a wrap pretty soon.
Arnold's winning right now,which I needed him to win.
(46:23):
Help me out a little bit.
I got somebody trying to trademe for a player.
Right now.
I don't think that's happening.
The message I just got I'llgive you the Bucks D and George
Kittle for Mike Evans.
(46:44):
I'll give you Caleb Williamstoo and I don't know if I can do
it because my boy, mikeWilliams, I mean Mike Evans he's
a consistent player.
He's one of the first players Idrafted.
I think I drafted Brock Purdyfirst.
Brock Purdy was my first pickand I think my following pick
(47:08):
after that was possibly MikeEvans, Because a lot of people
don't know, but every singleseason that Mike Evans has been
in the NFL he's had over athousand yards receiving.
And that was my goal going intothe fantasy football.
I just wanted players thatwould consistently perform week
in and week out.
Yeah, they didn't have to havethe highest numbers, but I
(47:30):
wanted them somewhere up nearthe top.
Consistent, yeah, and that'sall.
My formula was when I went inand drafted, but it's been a lot
of fun.
Like I said, I don't care aboutthe $100.
I just wanted to, you know, bein the group of the guys and
talk shit and hang out, and Ithink I irritate some of them
sometimes.
Speaker 1 (47:49):
That's all right, but I do it on purpose.
Speaker 2 (47:51):
I mean I do it to be funny.
Speaker 1 (47:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (47:54):
It's alright, but I do it on purpose.
I mean I do it to be funny.
Yeah, I don't know.
I think maybe they take thisshit too seriously, and I'm not
sure.
Okay, we'll see if they listenin on this episode, and I hear
about it.
Hey Gordon, man, you're talkingshit.
Man, we're not nerds.
Oh yeah, motherfucker you are,I am thinking, but that's about
(48:15):
it though I'm just rambling atthis point talking about random
fantasy football.
So we are going to hang it upfor today.
We'll probably see you guysnext week.
Again, we're trying to get alittle bit more frequent, but we
also have to have stuff to talkabout.
Speaker 1 (48:30):
Yeah, we have to.
We always have stuff to talkabout.
Speaker 2 (48:33):
Yeah, we definitely have a adventurous, interesting
life.
Speaker 1 (48:38):
Yeah, we do.
Speaker 2 (48:40):
Wouldn't trade it for nothing, though.
Speaker 1 (48:42):
Nope.
Speaker 2 (48:43):
All right, y'all Love you guys.
Take care of each other.
Happy holidays, merry Christmas, kwanzaa, hanukkah, whatever
you celebrate, and if you don'tfuck you, I don't care.
Speaker 1 (48:54):
All right.
what's up y'all?
This is gordy b, marion b,gordy b and marion B back for
our weekly podcast.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
It's not bad.
You know, we got back on trackand we're coming out every week
or two now.
Yeah, we needed to, now thatthings are a little bit settled
down.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Even though every time we turn around, everything
gets flipped upside down again.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Yeah, definitely.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
So we're still trying to still sorting out through
stuff, but we got the Christmasstuff out.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, I love Christmas.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Yeah, you do, I love, love Christmas yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Yeah, I do.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Favorite holiday.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
Favorite holiday Christmas.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Is it Yep?
All right.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
I don't know why, but I just love Christmas.
I love the colors, I loveeverything.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
I love fall.
Yes, you know I love the colors, the change.
I'm not a huge fan of theweather.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Me neither.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
It really affects me mentally.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
It's just cold.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
It's cold, gloomy, dreary, and it's just not
optimal for mental health.
I don't believe.
No, and then also the timechange, yeah, time change sucks
too, but anyways, Christmas timeit might have been one of my
favorite holidays when I was akid.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
You know, obviously when you're a kid you don't
think unless you're reallyraised really well, you don't
really think about giving asmuch as you you're looking
forward to receiving right nowit's about giving for me.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Love to give.
I give the shirt off my back, Idon't, you know, and I actually
did that and we'll talk aboutthat later on I actually did
that over at Eagle Mountain atthe Raider Watch Party.
Yeah, but Christmas, yeah, it'sstill up there, I think, for me
.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
It's more for the girls, though.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Halloween is hard for me to beat.
I think it's just fun for somereason Fun to see the costumes,
fun to see the kids come around,trick or treat, everything else
.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Do you like Halloween more than Christmas?
I might, because I think a lotof people have the wrong idea
about Christmas.
I mean, yeah, a lot of peopledo.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
It's not celebrated correctly.
I don't think.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
It's not.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
I think it's been materialized For sure.
Materialized for sure.
It's all about money, materialitems, um, and people that weigh
and rely way too heavily onthat, rather than a genuine,
well-planned out gift yeah agenuine like.
(02:59):
Those are my favorite gifts,gifts that somebody is going to
get to use on a day in and dayout basis yeah not just some
fucking random junk that you'regoing to give somebody and hey,
I bought you something and itdoesn't really mean anything.
I didn't put much thought intoit, didn't put much effort into
it, I just put money into ityeah and that's just wrong for
(03:20):
me.
I don't like it yeah, I agreeyeah, christmas is beautiful.
I love uh, as as a parent nowwith five daughters and omar,
and you know yeah it's a uh.
It's been a beautiful thing thelast two or three years with our
girls.
And we have these big old, huge.
Well, you can't even call themstockings, they're not.
(03:43):
They are called Santa Sacks.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Oh, we are so spoiled around here.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Yeah, we'll have to put a picture up for you guys.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Yeah, I think I posted one.
It's up on Instagram andFacebook of our stockings with
their pictures above it.
Yeah, yeah, but they have theirnames on them.
They're all customized.
There's just huge Santa sacks.
It's like 50 stockings in asack.
Yeah, it's ridiculous and wehave filled them up before.
(04:13):
Yes, mom used to take such agreat amount of effort and pride
and thought into her stockings.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
My stockings as a young man, a young boy growing
up, often rivaled my presence.
I feel like yeah.
I had amazing shit in mystockings.
I didn't, I didn't have any,you didn't have a stocking.
Are we going?
Speaker 1 (04:43):
to play a pity party right now.
You didn't have Christ, Ididn't have any.
You didn't have a stocking, arewe?
Speaker 2 (04:46):
going to play a pity party right now.
You didn't have Christmases andstuff.
Growing up I didn't have astocking.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
I didn't have a stocking, so for me it's like it
means a lot that I can do thatfor the girls.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
So let me ask is that a cultural thing?
Does the white community?
They do, okay.
They do stockings, yeah, allright, because it's not like I'm
in a whole bunch of people'shouses and notice whether or not
they have stockings or not?
Oh, you must be Mexican.
No, that's a white person'shouse.
(05:17):
They got a stocking hanging upsomewhere.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
No, we didn't do stockings.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
So what do we got?
We got a black Christmas tree.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
So what do?
Speaker 2 (05:25):
we got, we got a black Christmas tree.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Yes, we love it.
Oh, I absolutely love it.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
It's a beautiful Christmas tree?
Yes, and it is obviously faux,because there's no such thing as
a black Christmas tree.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
No.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
I mean, I guess somebody could like engineer it
like they do poinsettias orwhatever, and put dye in the
Well, maybe I suppose they could, and you can get a fresh tree
with different colors.
I don't know if that's how itwould work, though.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Probably way too much effort and work to create a
custom.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
I'm just not all about picking up the little
pines.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Oh, the little pine cone or the pine needles.
So yeah, I'm just like I don'twant to be spending my time
vacuuming those up.
Yeah, my mom loved um.
So there's like different typesof trees right, there's like a
douglas fir and there's otherones, and my mom kind of liked
these charlie brown lookingchristmas trees, kind of like
(06:18):
the bear ones, like you couldsee more of them right and my
mom used to meticulously getthat.
Those silver string things looklike I don't know silver strings
and a lot of people grab themand they like just toss them at
this tree, you know.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
So they just fall on it or whatnot okay, see I I know
what you're talking about.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
My mom one by one, she did not.
Swear to God, Swear to God.
My mom used to go a tinsel.
Is it called tinsel?
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Yeah, I think so yeah .
Speaker 2 (06:53):
One by one.
She used to decorate theChristmas tree with tinsel, one
at a time.
She didn't grab a handful, shedidn't grab two, she didn't grab
20.
One singular tinsel at a time.
But I mean, you're not muchbetter you have.
You have your, your, our treedecorated very meticulously as
(07:14):
well.
Yeah, we got huge ornaments, wegot little ornaments, we got
ribbons.
We have, did we put the uhmistletoes in there?
The little berries, yeah, okay,yeah, yeah, they're in there.
Oh, I see them now.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Yeah, yeah, I'm very OCD about our tree, huh.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Yeah, you're super festive, super OCD about that.
That's one of your yeah likeyou know.
I wouldn't even say OCD, you'rejust passionate and you love it
.
There's nothing wrong with that.
It's just like my balloons,like I, just yeah yeah, it's
like any of our art.
You want your art to bepresentable.
Yeah, whether you're playingmusic, whether you're doing
balloons, whatever you're doing,whatever you're producing, you
(07:53):
want it to be great quality yeahand well, and this year too, I
had to decorate the christmastree all the way around you know
the first world problems okayyeah, you had to decorate it all
around because you wanted it tobe viewed from the street, in
the window, by anybody thatpasses by the house, so that
(08:13):
backside had to look presentableyes any other time anybody
else's house that's not in frontof a.
They only decorate like threequarters of it.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Right, they don't do the very back yeah, but we just
have that big old window in thefront.
Yeah, not going to let it lookcrappy.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Oh, it looks beautiful.
It looks beautiful.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
It came out great.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
We got the big old jingle bells outside hanging up,
huge jingle bells Like threefeet wide jingle bell.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Just need to get our guy to come and do the lights.
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Just need to get our guy to come and do the lights.
Yeah, you know what I wasthinking about doing the Govees.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Oh, okay.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
The Govee lights around the house, because we can
also program that to provideillumination or glow to the
house you know for security andsafety features.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
And it's not just limited to Christmas lights,
right.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
That's cool.
But we can do that and we canprobably sync it to some music
and just blast it out of here,oh yeah.
Just lights dancing all overthe house.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
That'd be fun.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Play a bunch of Christmas music real loud
outside, speaking of peopleplaying music real loud outside
we have this little borrachoBorracho.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Borracho.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Borracho, like two houses north of us.
This little drunk guy, littleHispanic guy, doesn't speak much
English.
He was drunk as hell.
Drunk, drunk, yeah, reallydrunk.
He had a beer in his handstumbling all over the yard.
Yeah, really drunk.
(09:45):
He had a beer in his hand,stumbling all over the yard.
Well, this guy decided to parkhis truck in the middle of the
street, in the middle, not in alane, but in the middle of it,
Blaring music, you know, cumbiasor banda, whatever it was right
.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Hispanic music, which , again, I don't care.
I grew up in Arvin.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
I know this music.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
I love the music, but not 11 o'clock at night.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
No.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
And I guess he's been battling our neighbor across
the street for a while.
Good old boy across the streetgoes out there and gets into it
with him all the time and I justwent up to him.
I was like, hey man, what'sgoing on over here?
He's like are you all right?
(10:31):
He was like no ingles.
I was like well, my wife speaksSpanish, man, so I'm still
going to ask you if you're allright.
I was like look man.
I say look, get in your truck,get it parked, turn the music
off, close the door, go inside,get some rest.
Man, sleep this shit off.
Whatever you're hurting from,whatever is affecting you you
(10:53):
know seasonal depression, youknow time of the year,
gloominess outside, whatever itis, whatever.
Has you drinking and drunk at11 o'clock at night on a Sunday?
Has you drinking and drunk at11 o'clock at night on a Sunday?
Um, and?
And parking your truck in themiddle of the street with the
lights on, with the hazards on,door wide open, sat out there in
the middle of the street forlike 30 minutes, um, yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
He, uh, he came over afterwards and uh, shook my hand
, apologized yeah, it's not abig deal, man, you know shit
happens, you know.
Just hey, let's try to correctit and let's try not to get you
going to jail.
Get your ass in your house andget some rest.
Yeah, get it together, man.
Pull yourself together,especially if you have kids or
anything else.
(11:39):
You got little people relyingon you.
You know, straighten up up manyeah, but we all struggle,
everybody does yeah, but youknow he listens to gordon oh,
man, the neighbor.
So the neighbor, the good oldboy across the street, man, uh,
I guess he's been battling withthe guy for a while and it
happens every so often wherehe's just blasting his music and
(12:00):
pissing the the good old boyacross the street off, probably
amongst many other neighbors,but the good old boy across the
street off probably amongst manyother neighbors.
But the good old boy across thestreet's a little more
confrontational and aggressive.
But anyways, when he came overto shake my hand, the good old
boy was over here on my side ofthe street and he said I
apologize, I'm sorry, I'm sorry,I apologize.
I was like hey, man, it's allright, don't worry about it.
(12:21):
And he tried to apologize tothe good old boy and the good
old boy wasn't having it Like hehas had enough.
Apparently this has been goingon for years and he's just
fucking over it.
And then, is what happened?
Is the guy said I'm going toturn it down, I'm done, I'm
going to go bed, he said.
And the good old boy was likeoh, you're going to listen to
Gordon.
I was like oh, you're going tolisten to Gordon.
(12:46):
I was like well, is that yourconcern?
Is that the guy took to me alittle bit better than he took
to you, because my approach wasa little bit different than your
approach and you know, maybesugar does attract more bees
than honey does than vinegar, orwhatever the saying is Like I
went over there, I wasn'taggressive or anything.
I mean, I guess I'm imposingand I'd look somewhat
(13:06):
intimidating, I guess, which isnot the goal, obviously.
Just people have stigmas aboutvarious things bald-headed white
guys, there's a stigma.
Tattoos on hands and necks andfingers and every other place
there's a stigma yeah so peopleautomatically make assumptions
about things, whether they'reright or wrong.
(13:27):
Uh, they'll just have to findthat out on their own.
So, yeah, that was.
Uh, that was last night.
Um, we also, when we weredigging out the christmas stuff,
we uh dug out some of Gordon'schildhood memories.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
And I was able to keep quite a few things as a kid
and I know my mom helped, right, but I still have quite a few
things as a kid.
So we get through this box andI actually have LPs.
I actually have records thatwere from 1978.
I was born in 1980.
(14:06):
I've had these records since1980, 83, 84, somewhere around
there, when I was a young man,young boy, toddler.
And it's just a weird thing tocome full circle to see LPs that
you had 40 years ago and you'redoing LPs and DJing and
everything else now.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
It's a real strange thing.
You never know, I guess.
But anyways, the other strangecoincidence is that most of them
were Disney and Mickey Mousealbums, which, if anybody knows
anything about Marion, she isone of the biggest Mickey Mouse
fans in the world.
So another very, very strangecoincidence, right.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Like almost somebody's up there pulling
strings and you know, somethings are just predetermined
maybe.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Who knows?
Speaker 2 (14:55):
I don't know.
I don't speculate on it.
I'll find out when I die.
I'm not going to tell anybodylies about what's going to
happen and what's not going tohappen, I have no idea.
We'll find out when we die.
Though, memento mori, death isinevitable and it should not be
feared.
It's going to happen to all ofus.
Well, on a lighter note,because that got dark pretty
(15:19):
quick, we started upgrading ourkitchen appliances and we got a
Vitamix Vitamix yeah, vitamixand a KitchenAid food processor
food processor, so a Vitamixblender and a KitchenAid food
processor.
I think the KitchenAid foodprocessor was like 13 cups yeah,
(15:41):
and.
I think the Vitamix was eighteight cups yeah, somewhere
around there, and she alreadyused them.
What did you make today?
Speaker 1 (15:49):
I made panes con pollo.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
And apparently she is one of the greatest panes con
pollo chefs in the world,according to sources beyond
herself.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
You and Omar.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
The whole family loves you.
They always want you to make it, and you once owned a sandwich
truck.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
So you know what you're doing, you know your way
around the kitchen, you knowyour way around utilities and
everything else.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Yes, I do.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
So, anyways, this shit, it was amazing.
We still have some.
If anybody really is interested, you're welcome to come by.
We still have some.
If anybody really is interested, you're welcome to come by.
Rick, daniel, albert, I don'tknow Ilflow, dos Muchos, anybody

We also have a special ordercoming in a KitchenAid Evergreen
Mixer.
Yeah, mixer, it's not a blend,it's a mixer, a mixer.

Mm-hmm?
Yeah, so it's a KitchenAidmixer, just like the ones you
think it is, and a little headtilts up and there's a bowl and
(17:04):
a you know spoon or spatula oryou know things that mix stuff.
Well, this one is a specialedition and it's the color
evergreen.
It's like a dark green, yeah,like a christmas tree, almost,
yeah, evergreen, yep, all right.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
And then it has a wooden, a wooden bowl, oh a
wooden bowl and the thing isbeautiful it is it's, uh, the
way they crafted it, stained it,uh, it's, it's beautiful.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
So it's going to be a beautiful piece in our kitchen
yes, but if people don't know, Ilove kitchen stuff.
I love kitchen stuff are youtrying to lobby for people to
send you gifts?
I love, love kitchen stuff okay, she loves kitchen stuff, you
know.
However, to william sonoma,yeah, it has to be top of the

You cannot afford her , trust me.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
All clad, all clad.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
All clad KitchenAid.
What kind of knives are goodknives?
We need to get some really,really, really good knives.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Yeah, but we have Cuisinart right now really
really good knives.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Yeah, but we have Cuisinart right now and those
are pretty good, right?
Yeah, they're pretty good.
It's a decent brand.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
It's a decent brand.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
I mean it's not Kirkland or something, but I'm
sure Kirkland probably.
They probably have good knivestoo, yeah they probably go
through a company and you know,resell or whatever, and it's the
(18:35):
same shit as.
Cuisinart or whoever else.
Yeah, all right.
Well, the kitchen.
Um, we just had a wedding againup in, uh, the nirvana estates.
Yes, um, amy and adam nash um,definitely wasn't.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
It gets easier as it cools down except for the cords.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Oh yeah, Our cords are hey, I don't know if any
other DJs and you know audiovideo and entertainment people
are out there, but these goddamnpower cords and stuff get so
hard in cold weather, yeah, andit is so hard to wrap them up
and twist them and turn them andcable manage them.
Basically it's ridiculous andyeah, it's, it was freezing, it
(19:11):
was cold it was freezing wecould not only see our breath,
but the people that were on thedance floor.
Several of them had steamcoming off their heads.
Yeah so, which is a good thing,right you?
You want to stay warm.
You got three options to staywarm right clothes, alcohol and
dancing and we had all of thoseyeah yeah, it was a beautiful
(19:36):
wedding.
We uh, we do the uh, the goodold anniversary dance and we
start eliminating couples.
You know, five to ten years ata time.
You know, if you haven't beenmarried five years, please exit,
exit the dance floor.
Make some noise for yourself.
You know, five years is still agreat accomplishment and it's
always interesting and lovely tosee the last couple standing
(19:59):
with the bride and groom right.
So we got it narrowed down to acouple that had been married 66
years.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
That's amazing.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
And it's a beautiful thing that we not only get to
celebrate the Nash's wedding butwe also get to celebrate the
success of somebody else'smarriage and the hope that we
can all have that we can seethat it's possible to live with
somebody, be happy with somebody, adventure with somebody, that
(20:30):
you with somebody adventure withsomebody.
You're forever somebody right.
Yeah, it's a wonderful thing andI think it's a great thing to
do at weddings, because I thinkthe bride and groom can see that
, yes, and for me it's like, hey, those are the people I'm going
to for advice.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
You've been married 66 years.
Hey, I got a question.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Right.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
How.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Right.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
You know, what do you ?
Speaker 1 (20:51):
you know I think it takes what like patience.
I think lots of patience.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Patience, forgiveness , empathy, compassion a lot of
emotional intangibles.
Speaker 1 (21:05):

But it was nice.
We uh we left off the railsbriefly and we went to go grab
some dinner.
Yeah, we did, and we ended upwhere at.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Mama Roomba's.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
Mama Roomba's.
It was my first time there.
I'd never been there in my life.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
My second time.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Obviously as a Bakersfield native and it had
been there.
It's been there 17 plus years,I think.
They said I had never beenthere and obviously I had been
downtown multiple times, severaltimes.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Yeah, because you did like that other restaurant.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Yeah, I like that Two Goats and a Goose in the alley.
I think they're extremely,extremely underrated and slept
on in Bakersfield.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
Yeah, and it's a beautiful.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Yeah, it's a nice little spot.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Yeah, but anyways, what did we order from Mama
Roomba's?
Speaker 1 (22:27):
We ordered fried chicken.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Yeah, what kind of fried chicken was it?
Caribbean, caribbean.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
Yeah, like a Latin something.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Some kind of twist.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Yeah, it was so good.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Yeah.
Oh, it was good quality meat,right?
Yeah, it wasn't cheap asschicken strips.
They were big hearty.
They might might as well justsliced a chicken breast in half
or something and that was twochicken strips, right?
Uh, breaded nicely, had a nicecrunch on the outside, very
juicy, moist on the inside itcame with like a pineapple sauce
(22:59):
on the side sauce or something.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Okay, it was so good.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
And then we had sweet potato fries and their ketchup
has some kind of uh spice in ittoo.
Yes, and that was arguably thespicy part of the entire meal.
It was still delicious, though.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
Yes, yes, like we couldn't stop eating it.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
No, we ate it all.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
Even though it was spicy, we couldn't stop eating
it.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
And then, what was the beef?
Speaker 1 (23:20):
It was like.
It was like a beef stew.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
That's all I can say is it's something like a beef
stew.
It had the consistency of ofbeef that had been in a crock
pot stewing you know all day,but it wasn't like it wasn't
beef stew.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
It had a different um it was more like um for me.
It kind of reminded me a littlebit like the filling for
tamales okay like a beef oneyeah, yeah but it was.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
It still was a little bit different yeah, yeah, but
it was good but it was deliciousyeah, it was it felt home yeah,
it felt kind of home cooked inthere.
Yeah um, we went back over tooff the rails and hung out for a
little bit, but we had to leavebecause we had the wedding the
next day we, we were done, wewere tired.
Yeah.
(24:17):
And we also went up to EagleMountain with Rich and Ricky
came with us.
They had a Raider watch partyup there, so we all met over at
Chewy's.
There was a couple buses thattook a bunch of people from
Bakersfield up to Eagle Mountain.
We just drove behind Rich and Ithink it was Gabe and Monks and
helped Rich up there and gothim all set up and got
(24:41):
everything hooked up, connected,ready to go and you got to do
your favorite thing in the world.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
I to play, I love to play, I do what was the first
machine you jumped on?
Speaker 2 (24:57):
um top dollar top dollar it's a good one it was
tough, but it didn't get it andhit it didn't proc uh-uh, we put
a hundred in there and itdidn't prop well, you can't be
just throwing numbers out thereand telling people how much you
spend at the casino well, thatwas the first machine but that's
even worse because everybodyknows that you already threw 101
(25:20):
machine.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
That was the first machine and we were there.
For what six hours we were?
Speaker 2 (25:27):
there for a long time .
I think we got there at like 9am yeah and we were there until
5 pm.
Yeah, 9 am to 5 pm.
Uh, raider game against thechiefs almost pulled it out, but
everybody knows what happenedthere.
Yeah, there was a false start,whistle blew, refs ran onto the
field indicating a false start,blowing the whistle and then, of
(25:50):
course, in true NFL and Raiderfashion, the officials, huddled
up off to the side somewhere,figured out what penalty they
could change it to.
So it would remain a live ball,so that Kansas City could
secure their win, because theRaiders were about to beat them.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
That's shitty.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Yeah, it's real terrible.
The Raiders, I guess, aresubmitting video to the NFL like
it's going to help, right?
The NFL already seen it, theyknow.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
But the.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
Raiders.
They have to go through thatprocess.
They're sending it off to theNFL to say hey, we have video
footage showing the refsignaling offsides.
We heard the whistle on thesides, that's a dead ball yeah,
and nothing else can happenafter that.
It's a dead ball, um.
But you know they, they like toscrew the raiders, but we, we
like to screw ourselves too.
(26:38):
I'm not even going to be thatkind of raider fan, because we
do some dumb shit too yeah butanyways, uh got to take a
picture with Gorilla Rilla.
Violator, senior Raider Lil EasyE, dj Yella.
Rick went crazy.
His son is a fan, so Rick gotthe flyer, had them sign the
(27:02):
flyer, rick had him sign his ownshirt and Rick had him sign his
own hat and then by the end ofthe evening, when everything was
wrapping up, I just you know, Ihad my Raider jersey on my Max
Crosby jersey, day one RexCrosby jersey, not like all you
other clowns that just jumped onthe bandwagon and grabbed a Max
(27:23):
Crosby jersey because hestarted producing.
No, I had the Max Crosby jerseyas a rookie, so y'all can get
the hell out of here with allthat silly bandwagon shit.
Yeah, I got derailed there alittle bit.
I'm a little bit passionateabout all these bandwagon
Bakersfield people Hate thatshit.
So I was like you know what.
(27:47):
I took my jersey off and I gaveit to ricky.
I said, ricky man, let's, let'sget yellow and little easy to
sign this jersey so you can giveit to your son who he was going
to pick up that night uh for uh, his, his custody or whatever,
and uh, it was wonderful, he hada great time.
(28:07):
He said one of of the.
He really needed it.
And you know a lot of peopleyou know.
I felt like he needed it, so Iwas trying to go hang out with
him, you know.
But yeah, rich was there.
Rich did his thing, rocked it.
He got on the mic, startedemceeing.
Danny was up there emceeing Ithink it was Danny Salas or
(28:30):
something.
He was up there emceeing.
Rick got the crowd going tooand did a great job.
I was proud of him.
He did a great job.
Awesome Yellow hooked right inEasy, little easy, performed.
It went great.
I was happy for him.
We had a loss in the family.
(28:52):
We did.
We had a pretty big loss for alittle guy but uh, we lost our
boy blue, our little frenchie.
He was, uh, three years oldroughly yeah he, uh, he fell ill
a few days back.
Well, maybe it was a week agonow, I don't know how long it

(29:42):
shots, antibiotics, whateverelse, did everything we could.
I laid with him all day.
He threw up on me a few timesand I just laid there in it, you
know, because it wasn'timportant to me.
It was more important that hewas comfortable and he felt
loved and he knew he wasn'talone.
That was what was important tome, because a lot of times dogs
will go die on their own, likethey don't like to die around
humans.
They'll go hide somewhere.
(30:03):
They'll go back behind abuilding, under a house,
whatever else he was trying todo yeah, yeah, I wouldn't let
him do it though but he, hepushed, he, he, he fought yeah,
he fought really hard and youknow he stood up and he was a
great dog he was a great littledog yeah little blue blue yeah

fumes and nail polish removerfumes we're gonna have to talk
to mom and dyes and colors andall kinds of shit I probably
breathed in over there probablywasn't the best for me, for my
respiratory or my nervous system.

were bad for you.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
Well, they didn't know that alcohol and cigarettes
were bad for you and pregnantwomen were still using them.

Oh, Arnold's definitely goingto win today.
That's awesome, that's game overfor them.
(41:15):
Jared Judy, six receptions, 167yards and a TD.
Nice, lighten it up.
Cleveland is lighting it upwith Jemais and Judy.
That's good.
So Diddy's going to lose.

He's going down lose, that'sgoing to knock him down to my
we're going to.
(41:36):
I'm moving up to 10 and three.
He's going down to 10 and three.
He wins the tiebreakercurrently, but if he loses next
week and I win next week, I'm insole first place.
So we're going to talk aboutthis fantasy football thing real
quick.
Arnold invited me and you knowI'm I'm friends with Arnold and
Ricky and, uh, I'm friends withArnold and Ricky and Johnny and
(42:00):
quite a few of them.
So they invited me to fantasyfootball this year and I haven't
played it.
I've never played it.
So I show up, I just walk in, Ibring myself, that's all I need
, right?
I mean, I didn't take it thatgoddamn seriously.
Speaker 1 (42:14):
I think it was a $100 buy-in, I think right $100
buy-in and I didn't take itseriously.
Speaker 2 (42:19):
It's like, look, I know football enough, I watch
football enough, I know players,I think I can draft a squad.
Speaker 1 (42:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (42:28):
So I get there and all of these fucking nerds have
binders, notebooks, laptops, allkinds of shit, and I'm just
thinking to myself oh, I'mfucked, I'm not prepared.
Yeah, I am not prepared.
Speaker 1 (42:47):
I was not prepared.
I didn't know how serious thisshit was.
You got up from your nap andthen took off.
Speaker 2 (42:50):
Yeah, I did no preparation, no nothing.
So I get the last pick of thedraft, which means I also get
the first pick of the secondround, right?
Speaker 1 (42:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (42:59):
So I got the last pick of the draft.
I came up at the rear like thecaboose I was last.
I mean, nine other players weredrafted before I got to start
drafting.
Speaker 1 (43:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (43:09):
But then I got to draft two back to back.
Uh-huh Right, they got to draftnine.
And then I got to draft twoback to back.
Uh-huh Right, they got to draftnine, and then I got to draft
two, and that happened everycycle.
Yeah, Throughout all the rounds.
So I go through my drafts and Istart drafting players and,
needless to say, it's turned outpretty good.
Speaker 1 (43:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (43:29):
I'm going to be in first place, possibly only
second, but I'm already clinchedthe playoffs.
I'm already I think I'mguaranteed money at this point.
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (43:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (43:39):
I don't care.
Speaker 1 (43:40):
The only reason I did ?
Speaker 2 (43:41):
it was to shoot the shit with the guys.
Speaker 1 (43:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (43:44):
To get on the on the chat, get on the group chat,
talk shit, endure a bunch ofAndroid hate for a while, until
they fixed that RCS messagingbetween Android and iPhone.
I was the green bubble boy, orwhatever the fuck they call me,
man.
I hate you iPhone people and Isay I hate you iPhone people.
Um, while I use a, a, a MacBookair, to DJ, um, I'm just not a
(44:11):
fan of their phones.
Their computing computingdevice is fine, I don't care.
Speaker 1 (44:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (44:16):
Their phones had a real bad taste in my mouth.
When, I don't know, I used tohave an iPhone 4 or something,
right Okay, and I didn't likeiTunes or whatever their music
management and I didn't likethat.
I wasn't able to put my ownmusic on there whether it was
pirated or not, you know, andAndroid lets you do that.
You can put all the files youwant on your Android.
You can install apps from othersources besides the play store
(44:40):
and you know the app store andstuff you know for private
developers that create cool apps, yeah.
So, anyways, they had all thesebinders and everything else and
I wasn't prepared, but I'malmost going into first place
right now and playoffs start theweek after next.
Speaker 1 (44:58):
Nice.
Speaker 2 (44:59):
Um, and I've just had a lot of fun just talking shit
to the guys in the chat.
Like I said, that's all Ireally wanted to do.
I just wanted to talk shit.
I made fun of them.
I lost my first two games.
I'm going to be 10 and threetoday and I lost my first two
games.
And when I lost my first twogames kind of like when I showed
up to the draft I was like I'mfucked.
I am.
(45:21):
This is an embarrassment.
I need my man card revoked.
I need my man card taken away.
This is not okay.
I'm a man, I need to win somefootball games.
And then, you know, I went on aseven game win streak or
something.
Eight game win streak, whatever.
Speaker 1 (45:36):
So if you win for next year, do you get to be
first?
Speaker 2 (45:41):
Yeah, I get the first pick Nice.
And not only do I get all themoney, but I get the first pick
Nice.
So if they think that I didwell this year, look out next
year.
Speaker 1 (45:51):
Motherfuckers, Right you look out next to your
motherfuckers you're in danger.
Speaker 2 (46:03):
Are you gonna do some homework this time?
No, I don't need to, I knowwhat the hell's going on?
get your notebook no, no, no,maybe your laptop, no, but I'm
gonna go up there with a posteror something says fucking nerds,
yeah, that's fun.
So fantasy football is going tobe a wrap pretty soon.
Arnold's winning right now,which I needed him to win.
(46:23):
Help me out a little bit.
I got somebody trying to trademe for a player.
Right now.
I don't think that's happening.
The message I just got I'llgive you the Bucks D and George
Kittle for Mike Evans.
(46:44):
I'll give you Caleb Williamstoo and I don't know if I can do
it because my boy, mikeWilliams, I mean Mike Evans he's
a consistent player.
He's one of the first players Idrafted.
I think I drafted Brock Purdyfirst.
Brock Purdy was my first pickand I think my following pick
(47:08):
after that was possibly MikeEvans, Because a lot of people
don't know, but every singleseason that Mike Evans has been
in the NFL he's had over athousand yards receiving.
And that was my goal going intothe fantasy football.
I just wanted players thatwould consistently perform week
in and week out.
Yeah, they didn't have to havethe highest numbers, but I
(47:30):
wanted them somewhere up nearthe top.
Consistent, yeah, and that'sall.
My formula was when I went inand drafted, but it's been a lot
of fun.
Like I said, I don't care aboutthe $100.
I just wanted to, you know, bein the group of the guys and
talk shit and hang out, and Ithink I irritate some of them
sometimes.
Speaker 1 (47:49):
That's all right, but I do it on purpose.
Speaker 2 (47:51):
I mean I do it to be funny.
Speaker 1 (47:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (47:54):
It's alright, but I do it on purpose.
I mean I do it to be funny.
Yeah, I don't know.
I think maybe they take thisshit too seriously, and I'm not
sure.
Okay, we'll see if they listenin on this episode, and I hear
about it.
Hey Gordon, man, you're talkingshit.
Man, we're not nerds.
Oh yeah, motherfucker you are,I am thinking, but that's about
(48:15):
it though I'm just rambling atthis point talking about random
fantasy football.
So we are going to hang it upfor today.
We'll probably see you guysnext week.
Again, we're trying to get alittle bit more frequent, but we
also have to have stuff to talkabout.
Speaker 1 (48:30):
Yeah, we have to.
We always have stuff to talkabout.
Speaker 2 (48:33):
Yeah, we definitely have a adventurous, interesting
life.
Speaker 1 (48:38):
Yeah, we do.
Speaker 2 (48:40):
Wouldn't trade it for nothing, though.
Speaker 1 (48:42):
Nope.
Speaker 2 (48:43):
All right, y'all Love you guys.
Take care of each other.
Happy holidays, merry Christmas, kwanzaa, hanukkah, whatever
