Hello and welcome to ladies who question we have some fun and interesting stories for
(00:12):
you today I think right don't you? Oh yeah yeah definitely. There's sort of just out
of the blue. Yeah. Things that we just found silly or funny or interesting or lighthearted.
Yes. Nothing heavy duty. No. Too much is going on. I don't swear. Yeah I don't think there
is anything heavy duty in here. Got a little info about Michael Jordan. He's not been in
(00:34):
the news but his house is crazy teen tween. Would she be would she be called a 10 year
old? What is that called? A tween age. A tween age. That's what they're saying in the article.
A tween age. A tween age. Yeah. We just have some thoughts about her skin care regimen. Yeah
I said it tween skin care regimen. Right. Flying cars. It's a thing. And something silly about
(01:00):
senior citizen texting. I know nothing about that. Okay. He's got something I can only
imagine because well I guess I guess I'm a senior citizen. Right. I don't feel like it.
It does and I don't think of myself that way. I don't either. I mean I just feel like me.
(01:20):
Yeah. I feel like the 12 year old me. Yeah. Same brain. Same thought process. But when
you go the thing that reminds me about being a senior citizen is when we go out to the
movies. Oh don't forget to get the senior tickets so we can have a discount. Well I
like that. I know. Then you kind of go oh that is me but I think what I'm saving dough.
(01:41):
Right. Exactly. What the hey at least there's a payoff somewhere right. Anyway Michael Jordan
his house in Highland Park close to where we live sat on the market. How I don't 15 years.
Yeah. At least. And I don't even know if he ever even lived there. Did he ever even did
(02:02):
it or did his family. Yeah they did when they played for the balls. They live there. Okay.
Because I know Gal that owned a store in Highland Park and his wife shop there. Oh. Okay well
then they did. Okay. Well good. I'm glad they at least got some use out of this. Wow museum
like museum like yeah house because shuttle. I never understood why it was on the market
(02:24):
for so long and I don't know if there are bids. I don't know whatever. It was he was
asking a lot but then towards the end he really really wasn't or even towards the
middle he really wasn't asking it. Well I don't remember the price points but I thought
it started at 37 million. Oh well that's overpriced. And now I don't know what is this way maybe
10 or maybe that was when prices went like over the top right before the housing crash
(02:50):
when everything was overpriced before and before oh wait when everything was revealed
about the the financial. Yeah. We all lost our asses of that. Anyway. Okay so you can
rent it. You can rent Michael Jordan's home. It's for rent. It's off the market. It's kind
of like a it's well yeah someone bought it. That was a little while ago like last year
(03:12):
so they bought it with this intention. I have no idea what the intention was. That's kind
of cool. Well it is kind of cool. I'll tell you how much it is after I describe it. Okay.
Okay this is from realtor.com. It was also on patch which is where I got it which but
it emanated from realtor.com. Nine bedrooms. Nineteen bathrooms. Oh my god. It's a gated
(03:33):
home of course. I mean you would imagine. It's got a tennis court. Okay. An infinity
pool. A theater. A wine cellar. Other amenities and they didn't go on but that's a lot. Well
it's got I think it has an indoor basketball court. Oh didn't I say that? Basketball court.
Oh yeah. Basketball court and a putting green. Oh okay. Yeah you're right. That was the
(03:54):
first thing I had. I just must have jumped. Anyway my eyeballs doing we're recording this
on what day is this today? Monday the 24th. Okay of February and this is my tired time
so just bear with me. Okay please will you? Oh yes. Okay good. Of course. Anyway and guess
(04:15):
how much it's going for. Okay. They're recommending this for like if you want to have a party.
Okay. Or like a business retreat. I don't know what the price that was given is for
a month. That's the price that I have. I'm gonna say 40,000. Oh you are so far off.
(04:35):
You aren't even close girl. A higher. A hundred. Higher. 150. Higher. 200. 230,000 a month.
Oh okay. Isn't that cookie? Yeah. I could see a corporate rental for a party like a
weekend. Two notes. Yeah. Yeah but they don't have that price here so maybe they're not
(05:00):
gonna oh well I mean I think it maybe it's just if you had a party and you could 230,000
and you were big bulls or Michael Jordan fan and you're just you have that kind of disposable
income. Yeah I mean have a weekend party. Oh is that for a month? I don't know this is
230 per month. Yeah. But it doesn't give a like a weekend price or anything like that.
(05:20):
Maybe they won't open it up for like just a short term. Well what if it doesn't rent?
Well then the people are really SOL aren't they? Yeah. If they bought it with that intention.
Yeah. But then there's so many die hard Michael Jordan fans. Yeah. They're I don't know. It's
unique. It is very unique. It's very very contemporary. To me it has like a space ship
(05:44):
kind of architecture. Yeah. Shall we say lots of round rooms and very modern. Very modern.
If you like that thing. Yeah. That kind of thing. You know but I mean for me. Wow. It's
always been about like location location location. And frankly I don't find the location good
at all. No it's off of a main highway and it's only about oh I don't know a half a mile
(06:11):
and then another main street and you could literally you could probably hear the traffic
on the side of the gates to the he used to have his numbers 23. Yeah. On the gates. Oh
would they take it off. I think they're off. I mean I would think they would keep it. That's
part of the draw. Maybe they're still on. I'll draw I drive past there. I'll check it
out. So that's wow. Okay. So is anybody living in it. I don't know. I didn't say that. This
(06:36):
was all the information that was really on there. Well just to maintain that house.
Right. A lot. And it's been lying there vacant for so long they probably had to put a lot
into it because when a car. Not a car. Well a car too but when a house isn't being used
it deteriorates. It does. When no one's living in it. It just kind of falls apart. Right.
(06:56):
Which is interesting isn't it. You'd think where in terror of people being there would
be more but I think when the house is vacant I find that fascinating. It's almost like
the house needs people. I totally agree. No you could tell oh no one's lived here for
a while because it just starts to rot. Yeah. It has its own little personality. But not
a good one. Right. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Well that was interesting. Yeah. I just. Well can I
(07:21):
say something about house rental in terms of celebrities and so forth. Yeah. The house
that I would love to rent. Yeah. Is Bob Hope's house in Palm Springs. Oh yeah. It's kind
of the space shuttley very modern architecture that sits up over the valley. And I always
thought because when he passed away I don't know who owns it but they do rent it out for
parties. Oh that would be a cool one to rent. I wonder how much that would be. I don't have
(07:44):
to. We have to look that up. Yeah. Try to remember to bring that up again. That would
be cool. That would be so cool. In Palm Springs right. Have you seen it. I've seen the exterior
and it was it was it's a one floor right. Like a ranch style but not. And so with this
really modern architecture. Yeah. And it was built in probably the 60s right. Yeah. It's
(08:09):
going to say 50s 60s. Yeah. Anyways they were kind of doing that some of that sort of stuff
back then. I mean some architects you know. Right. Forward thinking I guess. That's what
I would rent. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So this teenager this excuse me tween tween. She's 10 years
old and she has a regimen skin care regimen that is certainly more layered than mine.
(08:36):
Oh it's like and it's it's a Kardashian skin care regimen. It's crazy. It's crazy. I can't
pull I don't know my information. She is a tiktoker. Oh she's a tiktoker or her mom
is right. She posts these routines on tiktok and she has a big regimen at night where first
there is ever done multi vitamin face wash for nourishing followed up by a dab of aqua
(09:03):
for healing ointment ointment under the eyes for smooth skin and a smear of Laneage lip
mask in her favorite flavors of vanilla and candy cane to boost moisture and improve firmness.
Now we're talking a 10 year old. A coat of these are all brands obviously ever done moisturizer
(09:25):
completes the routine. This is like what was that four or five steps or something for a
10 year old. It seems like her mom is grooming her to like become a housewife at a very early
age. Oh is it like a Beverly Hills housewife. Yeah. Her name is Naya Naya. Yeah. She's 10
a skin fluence. Oh she's a Sephora kid. So she's the face behind Sephora tweens. I mean
(09:52):
they have that. Well that's what it says. She is a Sephora kid one of a generation of American
tweens and teenagers for whom anti aging and beauty products of the kind of the kind sold
by the beauty chain Sephora. I'm not a parent so I I have to excuse myself from this conversation
but I am a human and a woman and I have to tell you that 10 year old girls are beautiful
(10:20):
just as they are. And you know what if they're going to wear anything wear some sunscreen.
Good one. You know. Yeah. That's what you need. Your skin you're still growing. You
should be sloughing off cells like crazy every day on your own because your skin is so young
and it's reproducing itself unlike when you get older and the aging process slows everything
(10:42):
down which is why you have to you know sell give it a little help. I'm I don't understand
this. It's like taking a wet robbing with her childhood. Well yeah and being so self
focused on on her her looks right at the perfection of her skin and face and I mean this is just
(11:03):
my opinion and you know you guys whoever's listening can just rail against me or call
me out or whatever. I don't care. I truly feel that a 10 year old girl is just beautiful
as she is. She says that they go pretty often like three times a month to Sephora. Well I
I didn't even know there was this Sephora kids. Toners toners masks anti-eight Sephora shame
(11:31):
on you. Yeah that's yeah shame on you. I mean you you she's from Colorado. This guy who's
a member of the state assembly he introduced a bill to introduce age restrictions on certain
products accusing beauty industry of failing in its duty of care to young people sort of
addresses these kids who are buying products and they're so young and and kind of just
(11:56):
say don't do this. He's going to get incredible pushback and it'll never it'll never fly.
Well I also think it's about the money that they're generating through tiktok. Oh see
I didn't even didn't even consider that you get a certain amount of likes or something
you get money. Oh well I know I knew that but I was thinking that's why they're doing
it because then they're all the Sephora kids right and mothers are probably getting a sponsor
(12:21):
by Sephora. Yeah because she has so many followers so it's like tech driven slash taking away
a youthful face to look older than it is and she'll probably start wearing makeup soon
and I was lucky if I can get my girls to wash their face before they went to bed when they
were 10 years old. Did you wash your face now? Okay. Yeah ours is always brush your teeth.
(12:44):
Yeah you know like and face was I was understood you know just it's not like I went through
regimen. Right. I think I probably. We were 10. When I was 10. Yeah. Thank God I don't
want to be thinking about stuff like that. No. I want to be thinking about playing and
animals and my friends. Right. You know and my favorite TV show or. Exactly. And maybe
(13:06):
in a year or two probably definitely boys. Uh huh. And maybe then I go I wish I could
wear a lip gloss but I didn't even they. I did not wear makeup till I was probably a
junior or senior in high school and if that. Yeah. I wasn't into makeup at all. I think
I started wearing like a little mascara my sophomore year of high school and but that
(13:27):
was it. I never thought to go beyond that. But you know it was the 70s. Right. Or late
60s 70s and the natural look was in. And frankly you know what at 15 we all look pretty good
too. We did. Because. Yeah. We were very young. I don't know. I know that I saw I'm so negative
on this and I didn't mean to like go neg but I'm sorry just screams. I mean if you were
(13:52):
a mom. I know excuse me. You are a mom. If I'm when I meant is when I shot this article
do you what was your first reaction. Do you recall. Well when I saw the picture of the
little girl that looks older than she is. Yeah. At first it reminded me of John Bonnet
Ramsey. Oh. And those little pageant girls. The pageant girls that you see at very young
(14:16):
ages with the false teeth and the makeup and the eyeshadow and the big blue font hair.
Yes. Which is just tragic. That's kind of a sector of this industry. And I go oh my gosh.
She's like a little pageant girl. Yeah. And when you'd see a picture of John Bonnet Ramsey
without all that crap on her. She was absolutely beautiful. A natural doll. Right. And would
(14:43):
have won those pageants anyway except all the other little girls are being brainwashed
into thinking they need makeup at the age of whatever. Right. Anyway. Sorry. Attack me
if you will. I don't care. Yeah. This is exactly how I feel. Okay. Onto something really space
age and kind of silly and I don't know something people keep talking about. They've been talking
(15:04):
about forever like oh I wish I had one of those. A flying car. It's a reality now. We're
going to post the YouTube video in our stories. So you'll definitely get a chance to look
at it. But if you want to wait or don't want to wait and look at it. It's this company
called I guess A.L.F. or A.L.F. A.L.E.F. And this guy has done it. He has the world's first
(15:28):
flying car been working on it forever. I remember actually. Yeah. I think I know. Is
it look like a drone an oversized drone. It kind of does in the middle of with kind of
a capsule thing. Yes. Yes. Okay. I think I saw one. I mean not what no no no no person
(15:48):
because this guy's in I think Las Vegas. Yeah. I did see the same article then. Yeah. And
I have so many questions about it. So let let I'll let you take over now and then I have
questions. The guy has been working on it forever out of his garage kind of thing. Yeah.
Okay. Forever because I remember doing a story on this many many years ago at a different
(16:09):
at a TV station. And I don't remember if this was the company but it seems like this is
the same guy and he's been working like a couple of different companies have been like
freaking forever. But they're saying it may enter production as soon as this year. Here
let me show you mass production. Look see this picture. This is what it looks like.
Oh it doesn't look like what I thought it was going to look like. It looks like a car.
(16:34):
It looks like a car and it moves like sort of like a helicopter and in the in the YouTube
they show it going over another car. So in other words you know how people always say
I wish I could traffic. Yeah traffic. I wish I could. Well that's what you could do. Okay.
It showed the car flying over another car and landing. Oh. It sounds like a bad idea.
(16:58):
Well it's going to get ahead of itself like AI. We have no regulations for flying cars
yet. Right. Well there there you go. So here we go jumping ahead of our yeah. Yeah. It was
at the 2025 Silicon Valley auto show. So actually people have seen it. It's called the ALF or
I don't know. I'm just saying ALF ALF flying car. It's not a CGI concept. It's not AI.
(17:23):
People actually could go and touch it at the car show. Oh wow. Yeah. Yeah. So in Silicon
Valley but I think this guy I think this guy is out of Vegas is what I told him. His name
is Jim DuCovny CEO and co-founder. Right now it's three hundred thousand dollars. Yeah.
Well it's kind of like TVs and computers. Right. Right. And then as he was saying in
(17:46):
the YouTube video in the interview that as they start to manufacture down but it will
probably be realistically 10. It's like seven years. 10 years 15 years. You know. Yeah.
To get it to where it could be affordable. But they start plan to start production late
this year or early next year for the people who want to spend three hundred thousand dollars
for. Yeah. But we have to get the laws in place. Well. What do you think. I mean there's
(18:10):
just too many obstacles that could cause lots of problems. We should need like some kind
of a license. A special I mean you need a special license to drive them to ride a motorcycle.
Right. So a pilot's license. Well I mean maybe. Well yeah. And where are you going to fly
it and how are you going to park it and how high does it go. Right. And what if there's
(18:32):
a whole bunch of them up there. Is there a lane is there or you just is there a tower
you report to or there's just I hope that our lawmakers get on this before they start
taking them off from their driveways. Well I was thinking to myself OK so you want to
go over the cars ahead of you in traffic. How do these cars were that are ahead of you.
(18:54):
Know that you're flying over them in order to get ahead. And then you're going to land
right in front of them while they're going. Exactly. And can it drive too. So it can.
Oh yeah. Oh it drives on the road and you could fly. You can go up her. Oh yeah. Going into
flying motion now the traffic's bad. Yeah. OK. Yeah. You drive along then you go screw
(19:16):
this I'm going to fly over these cars. Right. To where I don't know how far it can go. I
don't there was there wasn't right a lot of that in there. But how far can it fly. How
high can it fly. These are all things that have yet to be a lot. All the safety mechanisms.
Yeah. And drones are crashing up there. This would be like a major because it's it's not
(19:39):
just going to crash if they crash into something then down below is going to have the fallout.
Yeah. So then they're going to. Oh my. Oh yeah. So it's got kind of like sounds great.
But well and also there can't be rain. I remember that because the the top part that I that you
showed that I showed you on this picture there. It's kind of like a mesh. It's open because
(20:01):
it needs air. Oh. To get in there to help it get aloft. Ah. So. And just warm weather
days so far. Well at least. Rainless days. No precipitation. Yeah. So I just. And is
it electric or gas. Oh. Good. I would have. Imagine. Battery. Oh. Oh. Alofts flying car
(20:24):
functions like a regular electric vehicle until it doesn't. Oh. What does that mean.
Well until it doesn't till it starts to fly. Yeah. It take off vertically and fly forward.
Okay. Yeah. There was one out of China it says here but oh this is San Mateo based. I thought
it was Vegas. Maybe the one that I did the story on years ago was a Vegas. This is San
Mateo. So right there. Yes. Looking for a valley. Anyway. Cookie right. Oh. Cookie. Yeah.
(20:50):
Okay. And now I don't know about you but I'm pretty good at texting mostly because I use
the voice thing. Oh. Although. I try to when I'm in the car when I'm driving. Yeah. And
then it spells things. Cookie and you look like an idiot. The person is at the other end
going. God. She really can't spell. She doesn't know the difference between then and then
(21:10):
or there and there. Right. It's like. Now I have to feel compelled to go back in and
like correct and go. Hey I meant. T H A N. Okay. I. Anyway. So what is this about seniors
texting. I mean we do have issues. It's all about the shortening of words in terms of
like you know or you know you know and you mean like if you know you know I like what
(21:34):
we talked about. Yes. It's all abbreviated acronyms. So these are the senior F and M's
okay F and M's. Well no. Didn't you say F and M's. Acronyms. Acronyms. Here we go again.
Acronyms. Okay. This is real life. B F F. Well that's easy. I think. No. Think seniors.
(21:58):
And friend fell. B. Oh. Okay. Here we go. There's about 10 of these are pretty funny.
B T W. I would say by the way but bring the wheelchair. T T Y L. Talk to you later. Right.
Talk to you louder. Oh. So they're taking the current ones we're using and we're putting
(22:20):
it into seniorizing. Yes. B Y O T. Bring your own teeth. Oh God. L M D O. I don't even know
what that one is in real talk. Laughing my dentures out. Oh. Okay. That's that's unique.
F W I W. This is a good one. Forget where I was. I forgot where I was. On everything.
(22:45):
I should start using that now. In fact. Wait. Say that. F F W I W. F W I was. Okay. Yeah.
We should use that here. F W I W. We should. I earlier. Remember. I kind of lost my place.
Yeah. F W I W. Holly. Sorry. And plus when you're talking to people, you're talking talking
(23:05):
and you go and then you pull a total like what other older people do. You just freeze
up for a second. Oh wait. I forgot where I was. Yeah. What wait. Why were we talking
about this? Yeah. Yeah. F W I W. Yeah. Oh, this is gonna be our phrase now or our acronym.
I am H A O. In my humble opinion. Oh, that's good. Is my hearing aid on? Oh. Okay. Oh.
(23:29):
H A W. Oh, I didn't I didn't even say the right thing. Okay, go on. This one's hard.
O M M R. That's kind of silly. I don't know. On my massage recliner. Okay. That's not gonna
be used very often, but this one's funny. It's it's very long though. R O F L A C G U.
(23:55):
Rolling on the floor and coughing. You're God, you're close. I don't I don't know. Rolling
on the four. Excuse me. Rolling on the floor laughing and can't get up. Oh, that's great.
That's a good one. This is funny. I know. I just came across that. That was pretty funny.
That is funny. I don't I don't I still don't even know all the ones that that are regular.
(24:19):
But yeah, the regular ones that younger generations are using and I have to call my kids and go,
what do you mean by that? Yeah. Like, are you kidding mom? You don't know. I know. I
know some of my young dog moms, you know, people that I walk the dogs for, they will
send stuff like that. I'll go boomer moment here. You know, what? Yeah. You gotta spell
(24:42):
it off for me, babe. Exactly. And they're just communicating the way they do with all
their friends and I felt like, oh boy. Oh boy. Yeah, exactly. I'm old. And it doesn't
bug me. But then it's a reminder. Well, it kind of makes me look at the jet of we're
getting lazy. And a lot of times they shorten words to I do that to a little bit. Oh, yeah.
(25:06):
Yeah, but no one. Everybody's abbreviated a lot. I mean, that's that's fast forward
10 years, there will be no more words. Oh, yeah. Well, it'll all be like a shorthand
slash what they do a stenographer. But I don't even know what the stenographers shorthand.
Yeah, shorthand, whatever that was. Oh, stenographers will know stenographers in the
courthouse. They have to who knows what they do. I'm fascinated by them. And how do they
(25:30):
type accurately so fast looking at anything? And they're just punching in the keys? Like
what the what? And you know, they have to have gone through rigorous testing to make sure
of accuracy. Yes. It's all legal. Wow. So anyhow, I got a lot of attention. I that's
okay. Oh, no, go ahead. I just know I was just thinking. I remember thinking Oh, 30
(25:53):
words per minute, I'm doing pretty good. But it was a mess. I know. And then you look at
the spelling and typing typing classes. Oh, I had a type. Yeah, typing classes, junior
here of high school, we had type class for like a semester, I had typing in seventh
grade. Oh, wow. Yeah. Well, I remember thinking I'm never going to use this. I said, you know,
(26:14):
I don't care. I said, I'm gonna I'm never going to have to type. And then of course,
in journalism, who's doing the typing me, I'm doing the typing like, okay, because I
figured well, I'll have my typing skills from high school, which stink, you know, and they
have only deteriorated since then. Anyway, okay, well, hope you enjoyed our silly stories.
(26:37):
I mean, yeah, they were silly, right? They were silly and uplifting. And so have a great
rest of week. Have yes, please do. And we'll be thinking of you fingers crossed for spring.
Spring is gonna spring. Yeah. And 2025, you better get better. Yeah, I mean it. And that's
a threat. Take care and bye bye. Bye. Thanks, Harvey.

Hello and welcome to ladies who question we have some fun and interesting stories for
(00:12):
you today I think right don't you? Oh yeah yeah definitely. There's sort of just out
of the blue. Yeah. Things that we just found silly or funny or interesting or lighthearted.
Yes. Nothing heavy duty. No. Too much is going on. I don't swear. Yeah I don't think there
is anything heavy duty in here. Got a little info about Michael Jordan. He's not been in
(00:34):
the news but his house is crazy teen tween. Would she be would she be called a 10 year
old? What is that called? A tween age. A tween age. That's what they're saying in the article.
A tween age. A tween age. Yeah. We just have some thoughts about her skin care regimen. Yeah
I said it tween skin care regimen. Right. Flying cars. It's a thing. And something silly about
(01:00):
senior citizen texting. I know nothing about that. Okay. He's got something I can only
imagine because well I guess I guess I'm a senior citizen. Right. I don't feel like it.
It does and I don't think of myself that way. I don't either. I mean I just feel like me.
(01:20):
Yeah. I feel like the 12 year old me. Yeah. Same brain. Same thought process. But when
you go the thing that reminds me about being a senior citizen is when we go out to the
movies. Oh don't forget to get the senior tickets so we can have a discount. Well I
like that. I know. Then you kind of go oh that is me but I think what I'm saving dough.
(01:41):
Right. Exactly. What the hey at least there's a payoff somewhere right. Anyway Michael Jordan
his house in Highland Park close to where we live sat on the market. How I don't 15 years.
Yeah. At least. And I don't even know if he ever even lived there. Did he ever even did
(02:02):
it or did his family. Yeah they did when they played for the balls. They live there. Okay.
Because I know Gal that owned a store in Highland Park and his wife shop there. Oh. Okay well
then they did. Okay. Well good. I'm glad they at least got some use out of this. Wow museum
like museum like yeah house because shuttle. I never understood why it was on the market
(02:24):
for so long and I don't know if there are bids. I don't know whatever. It was he was
asking a lot but then towards the end he really really wasn't or even towards the
middle he really wasn't asking it. Well I don't remember the price points but I thought
it started at 37 million. Oh well that's overpriced. And now I don't know what is this way maybe
10 or maybe that was when prices went like over the top right before the housing crash
(02:50):
when everything was overpriced before and before oh wait when everything was revealed
about the the financial. Yeah. We all lost our asses of that. Anyway. Okay so you can
rent it. You can rent Michael Jordan's home. It's for rent. It's off the market. It's kind
of like a it's well yeah someone bought it. That was a little while ago like last year
(03:12):
so they bought it with this intention. I have no idea what the intention was. That's kind
of cool. Well it is kind of cool. I'll tell you how much it is after I describe it. Okay.
Okay this is from realtor.com. It was also on patch which is where I got it which but
it emanated from realtor.com. Nine bedrooms. Nineteen bathrooms. Oh my god. It's a gated
(03:33):
home of course. I mean you would imagine. It's got a tennis court. Okay. An infinity
pool. A theater. A wine cellar. Other amenities and they didn't go on but that's a lot. Well
it's got I think it has an indoor basketball court. Oh didn't I say that? Basketball court.
Oh yeah. Basketball court and a putting green. Oh okay. Yeah you're right. That was the
(03:54):
first thing I had. I just must have jumped. Anyway my eyeballs doing we're recording this
on what day is this today? Monday the 24th. Okay of February and this is my tired time
so just bear with me. Okay please will you? Oh yes. Okay good. Of course. Anyway and guess
(04:15):
how much it's going for. Okay. They're recommending this for like if you want to have a party.
Okay. Or like a business retreat. I don't know what the price that was given is for
a month. That's the price that I have. I'm gonna say 40,000. Oh you are so far off.
(04:35):
You aren't even close girl. A higher. A hundred. Higher. 150. Higher. 200. 230,000 a month.
Oh okay. Isn't that cookie? Yeah. I could see a corporate rental for a party like a
weekend. Two notes. Yeah. Yeah but they don't have that price here so maybe they're not
(05:00):
gonna oh well I mean I think it maybe it's just if you had a party and you could 230,000
and you were big bulls or Michael Jordan fan and you're just you have that kind of disposable
income. Yeah I mean have a weekend party. Oh is that for a month? I don't know this is
230 per month. Yeah. But it doesn't give a like a weekend price or anything like that.
(05:20):
Maybe they won't open it up for like just a short term. Well what if it doesn't rent?
Well then the people are really SOL aren't they? Yeah. If they bought it with that intention.
Yeah. But then there's so many die hard Michael Jordan fans. Yeah. They're I don't know. It's
unique. It is very unique. It's very very contemporary. To me it has like a space ship
(05:44):
kind of architecture. Yeah. Shall we say lots of round rooms and very modern. Very modern.
If you like that thing. Yeah. That kind of thing. You know but I mean for me. Wow. It's
always been about like location location location. And frankly I don't find the location good
at all. No it's off of a main highway and it's only about oh I don't know a half a mile
(06:11):
and then another main street and you could literally you could probably hear the traffic
on the side of the gates to the he used to have his numbers 23. Yeah. On the gates. Oh
would they take it off. I think they're off. I mean I would think they would keep it. That's
part of the draw. Maybe they're still on. I'll draw I drive past there. I'll check it
out. So that's wow. Okay. So is anybody living in it. I don't know. I didn't say that. This
(06:36):
was all the information that was really on there. Well just to maintain that house.
Right. A lot. And it's been lying there vacant for so long they probably had to put a lot
into it because when a car. Not a car. Well a car too but when a house isn't being used
it deteriorates. It does. When no one's living in it. It just kind of falls apart. Right.
(06:56):
Which is interesting isn't it. You'd think where in terror of people being there would
be more but I think when the house is vacant I find that fascinating. It's almost like
the house needs people. I totally agree. No you could tell oh no one's lived here for
a while because it just starts to rot. Yeah. It has its own little personality. But not
a good one. Right. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Well that was interesting. Yeah. I just. Well can I
(07:21):
say something about house rental in terms of celebrities and so forth. Yeah. The house
that I would love to rent. Yeah. Is Bob Hope's house in Palm Springs. Oh yeah. It's kind
of the space shuttley very modern architecture that sits up over the valley. And I always
thought because when he passed away I don't know who owns it but they do rent it out for
parties. Oh that would be a cool one to rent. I wonder how much that would be. I don't have
(07:44):
to. We have to look that up. Yeah. Try to remember to bring that up again. That would
be cool. That would be so cool. In Palm Springs right. Have you seen it. I've seen the exterior
and it was it was it's a one floor right. Like a ranch style but not. And so with this
really modern architecture. Yeah. And it was built in probably the 60s right. Yeah. It's
(08:09):
going to say 50s 60s. Yeah. Anyways they were kind of doing that some of that sort of stuff
back then. I mean some architects you know. Right. Forward thinking I guess. That's what
I would rent. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So this teenager this excuse me tween tween. She's 10 years
old and she has a regimen skin care regimen that is certainly more layered than mine.
(08:36):
Oh it's like and it's it's a Kardashian skin care regimen. It's crazy. It's crazy. I can't
pull I don't know my information. She is a tiktoker. Oh she's a tiktoker or her mom
is right. She posts these routines on tiktok and she has a big regimen at night where first
there is ever done multi vitamin face wash for nourishing followed up by a dab of aqua
(09:03):
for healing ointment ointment under the eyes for smooth skin and a smear of Laneage lip
mask in her favorite flavors of vanilla and candy cane to boost moisture and improve firmness.
Now we're talking a 10 year old. A coat of these are all brands obviously ever done moisturizer
(09:25):
completes the routine. This is like what was that four or five steps or something for a
10 year old. It seems like her mom is grooming her to like become a housewife at a very early
age. Oh is it like a Beverly Hills housewife. Yeah. Her name is Naya Naya. Yeah. She's 10
a skin fluence. Oh she's a Sephora kid. So she's the face behind Sephora tweens. I mean
(09:52):
they have that. Well that's what it says. She is a Sephora kid one of a generation of American
tweens and teenagers for whom anti aging and beauty products of the kind of the kind sold
by the beauty chain Sephora. I'm not a parent so I I have to excuse myself from this conversation
but I am a human and a woman and I have to tell you that 10 year old girls are beautiful
(10:20):
just as they are. And you know what if they're going to wear anything wear some sunscreen.
Good one. You know. Yeah. That's what you need. Your skin you're still growing. You
should be sloughing off cells like crazy every day on your own because your skin is so young
and it's reproducing itself unlike when you get older and the aging process slows everything
(10:42):
down which is why you have to you know sell give it a little help. I'm I don't understand
this. It's like taking a wet robbing with her childhood. Well yeah and being so self
focused on on her her looks right at the perfection of her skin and face and I mean this is just
(11:03):
my opinion and you know you guys whoever's listening can just rail against me or call
me out or whatever. I don't care. I truly feel that a 10 year old girl is just beautiful
as she is. She says that they go pretty often like three times a month to Sephora. Well I
I didn't even know there was this Sephora kids. Toners toners masks anti-eight Sephora shame
(11:31):
on you. Yeah that's yeah shame on you. I mean you you she's from Colorado. This guy who's
a member of the state assembly he introduced a bill to introduce age restrictions on certain
products accusing beauty industry of failing in its duty of care to young people sort of
addresses these kids who are buying products and they're so young and and kind of just
(11:56):
say don't do this. He's going to get incredible pushback and it'll never it'll never fly.
Well I also think it's about the money that they're generating through tiktok. Oh see
I didn't even didn't even consider that you get a certain amount of likes or something
you get money. Oh well I know I knew that but I was thinking that's why they're doing
it because then they're all the Sephora kids right and mothers are probably getting a sponsor
(12:21):
by Sephora. Yeah because she has so many followers so it's like tech driven slash taking away
a youthful face to look older than it is and she'll probably start wearing makeup soon
and I was lucky if I can get my girls to wash their face before they went to bed when they
were 10 years old. Did you wash your face now? Okay. Yeah ours is always brush your teeth.
(12:44):
Yeah you know like and face was I was understood you know just it's not like I went through
regimen. Right. I think I probably. We were 10. When I was 10. Yeah. Thank God I don't
want to be thinking about stuff like that. No. I want to be thinking about playing and
animals and my friends. Right. You know and my favorite TV show or. Exactly. And maybe
(13:06):
in a year or two probably definitely boys. Uh huh. And maybe then I go I wish I could
wear a lip gloss but I didn't even they. I did not wear makeup till I was probably a
junior or senior in high school and if that. Yeah. I wasn't into makeup at all. I think
I started wearing like a little mascara my sophomore year of high school and but that
(13:27):
was it. I never thought to go beyond that. But you know it was the 70s. Right. Or late
60s 70s and the natural look was in. And frankly you know what at 15 we all look pretty good
too. We did. Because. Yeah. We were very young. I don't know. I know that I saw I'm so negative
on this and I didn't mean to like go neg but I'm sorry just screams. I mean if you were
(13:52):
a mom. I know excuse me. You are a mom. If I'm when I meant is when I shot this article
do you what was your first reaction. Do you recall. Well when I saw the picture of the
little girl that looks older than she is. Yeah. At first it reminded me of John Bonnet
Ramsey. Oh. And those little pageant girls. The pageant girls that you see at very young
(14:16):
ages with the false teeth and the makeup and the eyeshadow and the big blue font hair.
Yes. Which is just tragic. That's kind of a sector of this industry. And I go oh my gosh.
She's like a little pageant girl. Yeah. And when you'd see a picture of John Bonnet Ramsey
without all that crap on her. She was absolutely beautiful. A natural doll. Right. And would
(14:43):
have won those pageants anyway except all the other little girls are being brainwashed
into thinking they need makeup at the age of whatever. Right. Anyway. Sorry. Attack me
if you will. I don't care. Yeah. This is exactly how I feel. Okay. Onto something really space
age and kind of silly and I don't know something people keep talking about. They've been talking
(15:04):
about forever like oh I wish I had one of those. A flying car. It's a reality now. We're
going to post the YouTube video in our stories. So you'll definitely get a chance to look
at it. But if you want to wait or don't want to wait and look at it. It's this company
called I guess A.L.F. or A.L.F. A.L.E.F. And this guy has done it. He has the world's first
(15:28):
flying car been working on it forever. I remember actually. Yeah. I think I know. Is
it look like a drone an oversized drone. It kind of does in the middle of with kind of
a capsule thing. Yes. Yes. Okay. I think I saw one. I mean not what no no no no person
(15:48):
because this guy's in I think Las Vegas. Yeah. I did see the same article then. Yeah. And
I have so many questions about it. So let let I'll let you take over now and then I have
questions. The guy has been working on it forever out of his garage kind of thing. Yeah.
Okay. Forever because I remember doing a story on this many many years ago at a different
(16:09):
at a TV station. And I don't remember if this was the company but it seems like this is
the same guy and he's been working like a couple of different companies have been like
freaking forever. But they're saying it may enter production as soon as this year. Here
let me show you mass production. Look see this picture. This is what it looks like.
Oh it doesn't look like what I thought it was going to look like. It looks like a car.
(16:34):
It looks like a car and it moves like sort of like a helicopter and in the in the YouTube
they show it going over another car. So in other words you know how people always say
I wish I could traffic. Yeah traffic. I wish I could. Well that's what you could do. Okay.
It showed the car flying over another car and landing. Oh. It sounds like a bad idea.
(16:58):
Well it's going to get ahead of itself like AI. We have no regulations for flying cars
yet. Right. Well there there you go. So here we go jumping ahead of our yeah. Yeah. It was
at the 2025 Silicon Valley auto show. So actually people have seen it. It's called the ALF or
I don't know. I'm just saying ALF ALF flying car. It's not a CGI concept. It's not AI.
(17:23):
People actually could go and touch it at the car show. Oh wow. Yeah. Yeah. So in Silicon
Valley but I think this guy I think this guy is out of Vegas is what I told him. His name
is Jim DuCovny CEO and co-founder. Right now it's three hundred thousand dollars. Yeah.
Well it's kind of like TVs and computers. Right. Right. And then as he was saying in
(17:46):
the YouTube video in the interview that as they start to manufacture down but it will
probably be realistically 10. It's like seven years. 10 years 15 years. You know. Yeah.
To get it to where it could be affordable. But they start plan to start production late
this year or early next year for the people who want to spend three hundred thousand dollars
for. Yeah. But we have to get the laws in place. Well. What do you think. I mean there's
(18:10):
just too many obstacles that could cause lots of problems. We should need like some kind
of a license. A special I mean you need a special license to drive them to ride a motorcycle.
Right. So a pilot's license. Well I mean maybe. Well yeah. And where are you going to fly
it and how are you going to park it and how high does it go. Right. And what if there's
(18:32):
a whole bunch of them up there. Is there a lane is there or you just is there a tower
you report to or there's just I hope that our lawmakers get on this before they start
taking them off from their driveways. Well I was thinking to myself OK so you want to
go over the cars ahead of you in traffic. How do these cars were that are ahead of you.
(18:54):
Know that you're flying over them in order to get ahead. And then you're going to land
right in front of them while they're going. Exactly. And can it drive too. So it can.
Oh yeah. Oh it drives on the road and you could fly. You can go up her. Oh yeah. Going into
flying motion now the traffic's bad. Yeah. OK. Yeah. You drive along then you go screw
(19:16):
this I'm going to fly over these cars. Right. To where I don't know how far it can go. I
don't there was there wasn't right a lot of that in there. But how far can it fly. How
high can it fly. These are all things that have yet to be a lot. All the safety mechanisms.
Yeah. And drones are crashing up there. This would be like a major because it's it's not
(19:39):
just going to crash if they crash into something then down below is going to have the fallout.
Yeah. So then they're going to. Oh my. Oh yeah. So it's got kind of like sounds great.
But well and also there can't be rain. I remember that because the the top part that I that you
showed that I showed you on this picture there. It's kind of like a mesh. It's open because
(20:01):
it needs air. Oh. To get in there to help it get aloft. Ah. So. And just warm weather
days so far. Well at least. Rainless days. No precipitation. Yeah. So I just. And is
it electric or gas. Oh. Good. I would have. Imagine. Battery. Oh. Oh. Alofts flying car
(20:24):
functions like a regular electric vehicle until it doesn't. Oh. What does that mean.
Well until it doesn't till it starts to fly. Yeah. It take off vertically and fly forward.
Okay. Yeah. There was one out of China it says here but oh this is San Mateo based. I thought
it was Vegas. Maybe the one that I did the story on years ago was a Vegas. This is San
Mateo. So right there. Yes. Looking for a valley. Anyway. Cookie right. Oh. Cookie. Yeah.
(20:50):
Okay. And now I don't know about you but I'm pretty good at texting mostly because I use
the voice thing. Oh. Although. I try to when I'm in the car when I'm driving. Yeah. And
then it spells things. Cookie and you look like an idiot. The person is at the other end
going. God. She really can't spell. She doesn't know the difference between then and then
(21:10):
or there and there. Right. It's like. Now I have to feel compelled to go back in and
like correct and go. Hey I meant. T H A N. Okay. I. Anyway. So what is this about seniors
texting. I mean we do have issues. It's all about the shortening of words in terms of
like you know or you know you know and you mean like if you know you know I like what
(21:34):
we talked about. Yes. It's all abbreviated acronyms. So these are the senior F and M's
okay F and M's. Well no. Didn't you say F and M's. Acronyms. Acronyms. Here we go again.
Acronyms. Okay. This is real life. B F F. Well that's easy. I think. No. Think seniors.
(21:58):
And friend fell. B. Oh. Okay. Here we go. There's about 10 of these are pretty funny.
B T W. I would say by the way but bring the wheelchair. T T Y L. Talk to you later. Right.
Talk to you louder. Oh. So they're taking the current ones we're using and we're putting
(22:20):
it into seniorizing. Yes. B Y O T. Bring your own teeth. Oh God. L M D O. I don't even know
what that one is in real talk. Laughing my dentures out. Oh. Okay. That's that's unique.
F W I W. This is a good one. Forget where I was. I forgot where I was. On everything.
(22:45):
I should start using that now. In fact. Wait. Say that. F F W I W. F W I was. Okay. Yeah.
We should use that here. F W I W. We should. I earlier. Remember. I kind of lost my place.
Yeah. F W I W. Holly. Sorry. And plus when you're talking to people, you're talking talking
(23:05):
and you go and then you pull a total like what other older people do. You just freeze
up for a second. Oh wait. I forgot where I was. Yeah. What wait. Why were we talking
about this? Yeah. Yeah. F W I W. Yeah. Oh, this is gonna be our phrase now or our acronym.
I am H A O. In my humble opinion. Oh, that's good. Is my hearing aid on? Oh. Okay. Oh.
(23:29):
H A W. Oh, I didn't I didn't even say the right thing. Okay, go on. This one's hard.
O M M R. That's kind of silly. I don't know. On my massage recliner. Okay. That's not gonna
be used very often, but this one's funny. It's it's very long though. R O F L A C G U.
(23:55):
Rolling on the floor and coughing. You're God, you're close. I don't I don't know. Rolling
on the four. Excuse me. Rolling on the floor laughing and can't get up. Oh, that's great.
That's a good one. This is funny. I know. I just came across that. That was pretty funny.
That is funny. I don't I don't I still don't even know all the ones that that are regular.
(24:19):
But yeah, the regular ones that younger generations are using and I have to call my kids and go,
what do you mean by that? Yeah. Like, are you kidding mom? You don't know. I know. I
know some of my young dog moms, you know, people that I walk the dogs for, they will
send stuff like that. I'll go boomer moment here. You know, what? Yeah. You gotta spell
(24:42):
it off for me, babe. Exactly. And they're just communicating the way they do with all
their friends and I felt like, oh boy. Oh boy. Yeah, exactly. I'm old. And it doesn't
bug me. But then it's a reminder. Well, it kind of makes me look at the jet of we're
getting lazy. And a lot of times they shorten words to I do that to a little bit. Oh, yeah.
(25:06):
Yeah, but no one. Everybody's abbreviated a lot. I mean, that's that's fast forward
10 years, there will be no more words. Oh, yeah. Well, it'll all be like a shorthand
slash what they do a stenographer. But I don't even know what the stenographers shorthand.
Yeah, shorthand, whatever that was. Oh, stenographers will know stenographers in the
courthouse. They have to who knows what they do. I'm fascinated by them. And how do they
(25:30):
type accurately so fast looking at anything? And they're just punching in the keys? Like
what the what? And you know, they have to have gone through rigorous testing to make sure
of accuracy. Yes. It's all legal. Wow. So anyhow, I got a lot of attention. I that's
okay. Oh, no, go ahead. I just know I was just thinking. I remember thinking Oh, 30
(25:53):
words per minute, I'm doing pretty good. But it was a mess. I know. And then you look at
the spelling and typing typing classes. Oh, I had a type. Yeah, typing classes, junior
here of high school, we had type class for like a semester, I had typing in seventh
grade. Oh, wow. Yeah. Well, I remember thinking I'm never going to use this. I said, you know,
(26:14):
I don't care. I said, I'm gonna I'm never going to have to type. And then of course,
in journalism, who's doing the typing me, I'm doing the typing like, okay, because I
figured well, I'll have my typing skills from high school, which stink, you know, and they
have only deteriorated since then. Anyway, okay, well, hope you enjoyed our silly stories.
(26:37):
I mean, yeah, they were silly, right? They were silly and uplifting. And so have a great
rest of week. Have yes, please do. And we'll be thinking of you fingers crossed for spring.
Spring is gonna spring. Yeah. And 2025, you better get better. Yeah, I mean it. And that's
a threat. Take care and bye bye. Bye. Thanks, Harvey.
