Speaker 4 (00:56):
Yeah, it's going swimmingly so far from Yeah, it's a holiday. No.
How about twenty twenty five is just like twenty twenty four.
It's it's trying to take us all. It's it's already
starting out about as stressful as possible, with at least
one probable terror attack, maybe two to start. We were
just a few hours in when the first terror attack
(01:17):
of the year hits in No La. The latest fifteen
people dead in that attack, dozens more injured. Somebody drove
a car through a crowd of people in New Orleans
three fifteen in the morning. And if there's one town
that has a lot of stuff going on at three
fifteen in the morning, it's gonna be New Orleans. So
(01:38):
what a what a crap start of the year. What
a crap start. Meanwhile, anything that you guys are planning
on this year, and I'm not talking about New Year's resolutions,
just things that you're planning.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Bet he can do any travel, but are going to
take in the sites, the sounds, anything of that sort.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
My New Year's resolution was I'm gonna I'm gonna be
better on the clock. I'm gonna go to the commercial
breaks when I'm supposed to instead of Foosh having to
tell me. He's only going to tell me one time
so far, tonight break, idiot, go to the commercials idiot,
which I appreciate him doing.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Ron or anything anything as far as travel, not really
anything at all. I'll tell you what, I want to
go to Fasquez Rocks and reenact the scene from Star
Trek where Kirk throws the rock at the gorn.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
That's what I want to do. That's a deep cut.
Yeah you like that. That's very good, very good. It's concrete,
it's specific. I even ask you.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
No, no, it's just for real. I'm not making this up. No,
I know you're not. But that's a what a what
a weird.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
Let's go to Imperial County and let's comb the sand
like they did in Star Wars.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
I'm immune to your mockery. This is gonna be cool.
How about you, Chris. I'm gonna make some maple syrup
this year. I'm gonna tap a tree. I'm gonna make syrup.
What do you think about that noise? Yeah, done this
in the past. Uh, that is it gonna be? Like? Uh?
Are you gonna brand it it? Uh like Meryl can'f
(03:02):
I syrup?
Speaker 4 (03:04):
Uh? Yeah, I mean if they pay me. Yeah, oh okay,
you five absolutely more tapping it in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Hey, now, very good. Now it's working. We've got a
well oiled machine. He got the drum kit out.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
That's nice. Yeah, he had put it away for a while.
Carl Christison like that. It's not gonna need that.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Meryl. We just oh, tapping it. Very good, very timely,
my friend, very timely, all over it. Guys are killing me.
All right? How about bucket list? Twenty twenty five.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
Freshman philosopher Professor signed this exercise and called it a
bucket list.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
We're supposed to make a list of all the things
we wanted to do in our lives before we can
kick the bucket cute scene. It's pointless. Now, we can
do this, We should do this, we should do this
all right.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
Ever since the bucket list came out, we all know
what bucket list means. It's just but all bucket list
is almost taken on a new term. It's not things
that we feel like we need to do before we die. Now,
it's just stuff you should try this year.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Yeah, it's it's definitely taking a turn.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
It's no longer a bucket list now it's a to
do list or a give it a shot list. And
so that's what the La Times put together. They're California
bucket list, okay, for each month of the year. So
I guess if a bucket list has things to do
before you die, if you plan on dying in January,
you should go witness the magistic elephant sealed breeding season
(04:32):
at Onyon Nuevo State Park, which is isn't on your.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Nuevo isn't that New Year State Park. I don't speak Spanish.
They want you to go and watch elephant seals get
it on. Yeah, I don't want to do that.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
Mark you already said more tapping it in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
I don't want to watch wild animals tap it with
each other. But you're tapping it, tap of it? Whose
sider you want?
Speaker 4 (04:58):
That's right, just tap it you you said you want
to just give it a little little tappy.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Tattle tap tap tap Taparu.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Well, if we have to rewind the tape, I want
Chris Merrill to tap it more in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
Wow, all right, I'll go watch the h I'll go
watch the animals do it.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
I got a problem that. Uh.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
If you plan on dying in February, according to the
La Times, you should celebrate the lunar New Year in
San Francisco and Chinatown.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
So you got that.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
Uh. If you plan on kicking it before taxes are due,
you could do it in March. You could admire the
breathtaking wildflower blooms of the ends of Barrego Desert State Park.
While you're there, you could comb the desert just like
they did in Star Wars. Uh In April, attend the
world renown Coachella Valley Music an arts festival in India.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Oh that's a good thing. Coachella. Have you been to Coachella?
Have you done it? I don't mean like have you
been to the valley? I mean have you been to
the festival?
Speaker 5 (05:58):
When while I was in college i went to. I
was in Riverside, so I was like twenty minutes away
from it.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (06:04):
But I don't know, man, it just seems so over
hyped because I talked to people like ten years before
it was like a thing, and they said it was
like the greatest thing ever. But this was like when
you paid twenty bucks to get in. Oh yeah, now
it's like now a ton basically put in a car
(06:28):
down payment for a car.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Yeah, no kidding. Oh, but you get a three day pass.
We're just seven hundred dollars.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
It's a little hyben was it was Coachella the one
last year where they had all the mud and people
were stuck and they couldn't get cars out, and they
couldn't people were walking miles and miles and miles just
to get out of the was that I think I
think that was Burning Man. Oh, it's burning all same area.
They're both like, they're both super hippie music press. So yeah,
well I think Burning Man is still hippie. But now
(06:56):
Coachella is like the cool place to be, but especially
especially because now they have two weekends. So now it's
the first weekend is like the place you have to
be there, and the second weekend is for people that
just want to listen to the music.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Oh yeah, all.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
Right, but I can still spend a buttload of money there, right,
that's the whole thing with absolutely Okay, that's the I'm
supposed to spend a buttload of money, Yes, all right.
La Times California bucket list, which we can only assume,
means if you plan on dying, you should do this,
because that's what bucket lists are. If you plan on
dying in May, you should go to the on Spining
Waterfalls at yo Semite at their peak flow, that is,
(07:35):
if we get any moisture this winter. If you're going
to die in June, experience the unique ambiance of the
Ohi Music Festival. The charming town of O Hi, another
music festival who wrote the list for the La Times.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Is this from the the Hippie Desk.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
I think this may be another byproduct of their owner,
Patrick Soon shan Oh.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Is that what it is? Yes?
Speaker 4 (07:58):
I didn't get a bias rating on this because this
feels very lefty to me?
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Does it? Yes?
Speaker 4 (08:03):
This is going way if although Coachella, like you said,
is no longer, it's a music fest, but it's super commercialized,
so I don't know, maybe not, Maybe this is all
part of bringing balance. You go to the super commercial
music festival and then you go to the the the
Ohi Music Festival. If you're gonna die in July, you
should go to the fireworks first.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Over Lake Tahoe, Okay.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
August, savor the delectable offerings at the Gilroy Garlic Festival,
a haven for garlic enthusiasts.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Unless you're a vampire. You don't want to go to
that if if you're.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
The undead, If September is the month you're deciding that
you're gonna kick it, immerse yourself in the rich cultural
heritage at the Los Angeles Olvera Street during the Mexican
Independence Day festivities for October participate in the half Moon
Bay Art and Pumpkin Festival celebrating the harvest season. And
of November, you can observe the grace Full Monarch butterfly
(09:01):
migration at Natural Bridges State Park and Santa Cruise. Aren't
the monarchs on the endangered species list now? Or are
they still considering that?
Speaker 1 (09:09):
It's hard to keep track because it seems like everything's
head in that direction your regiment.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Yeah, you're right.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
And then in December, as always, if you haven't been
to Bubblebo Park in San Diego for their December nights,
that's pretty cool. So La Times recommends you go to
do that. So those But that's your twenty twenty five.
I give you twelve things to do. Here's what here's
what I recommend for your your new Year's resolution, be healthier,
experience some some things around you. Pick four of the
(09:39):
twelve and just do four. That's one every third of
the year, and just do one of those things. Make
it a date, put it in your put it in
your hinge profile.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
I don't have any idea. Thank god, I don't have
to date. Thank God I'm not dating.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
Thank God I don't have to do the apps.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Are you on the apps. Yeah you are. Yeah, oh buddy,
I'm so sorry.
Speaker 5 (10:04):
It's I've been talking with producer Matt like he's yeah,
he's kind of giving me a breast to what's going on,

Speaker 2 (10:38):
Can you imagine Mark Ronner's hinge profile?
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Just leave your money on the dresser like a decent
human being. But no, this is gonna be good material
for twenty twenty five. Foosh your your experiments in the
single dating app? Yeah, I'm looking forward to this. I've
never done it and it sounds absolutely horrifying, so bad.

Speaker 4 (12:35):
As we are working on Foush's dating profile, this is
gonna be great. I did read something that says your
your dating profile is supposed to I don't know what
your photo is, Foush, so it's supposed to be you
doing something you enjoy.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
So yeah, I well, the first one is a selfie.
The second one is it a selfie of you doing
something you're also? No.
Speaker 5 (13:00):
The first one's just like I just I just got
my haircut, and it's my one of my favorite pictures
of myself because I don't like myself, so that's like
my favorite picture of my hair. I just got it done.
It was cool. And then the second one is me
in a suit at my best friend's wedding. Okay, so
not still not doing anything, but you know, looking cool.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
We got Now, we gotta get you some doing stuff.
I think so too. You ought to be able to
parlay you your job into something.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
I got a buddy that's some radio and he's on
the apps too, and I said, why aren't you He
hosts a show, and I go, why aren't you telling
everybody that you're a rock star somebody's because no, I
don't want to do that. I listen, that's all's fair
in love and war. You've got to lean into it.
Speaker 5 (13:44):
That's exactly what producer Matt just said. He's like, He's like, dude,
you should like boast about the fact that you're at iHeart.
Speaker 4 (13:53):
I'm like, yeah, I know, but I don't want to
be like that guy like, hey, have you heard of
Tim Conway Junior? I know him. Yes, I should do that.
Maybe pictures. Uh, next time Leto comes in, just go
see if you can sit in his car and take
a photo with him.
Speaker 5 (14:10):
Oh my, oh yeah, if I know, if I gotta,
if I got a picture with him, that would be Yeah,
that would be the one to put on my profile.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Yes, there's a real panty dropper, isn't it. Come on?
Speaker 1 (14:21):
I think the two of you are massively overestimating the
appeal of the stable and lucrative career in radio.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (14:29):
Yeah, well I'm not gonna say, am, why don't you
just post a photo of yourself on the toilet?
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Foosh? Come on, doing something I love?
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Yes, exactly, this is how I like to spend my
leisure time. Very good, Bring an iPad in with you
some some snacks.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
Hey, speaking of apps, have you guys been on Twitter lately?
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Yes?
Speaker 5 (14:50):
Yes, it is turned into a real It is just
like so, it's a war zone. I don't even like
to go on there. It's a hive of disinformation and hate.
Which did I miss something?
Speaker 4 (15:01):
No, it's I mean, I'll be kind of doom scrolling
a little bit, and and then I and I've I've
found myself using the Instagram reels, which I hate doing
because it's kind of like TikTok, which just drives me nuts.
And I you know, I want to see something that
has a little more depth than somebody doing a goofy
dance or whatever. But so I'll go on to I'll
(15:22):
go on to Twitter thinking I can just oh, I'll
just read somebody's thoughts. But even things that seem innocuous,
I can't even somebody might post something like, hey, what
was the best thing that happened to you in twenty
twenty four? And it's just like watching Joe Biden nearly
die on stage made my day.
Speaker 5 (15:44):
I was saying, oh, yeah, because Trump did this. Yeah,
oh my gosh, you can't even have fun on there anymore.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Well, it's been especially useful today when we have this
massive casualty incident in New Orleans and the amount of
disinformation and just fill on there is overwhelming. And thank
you Elon for that. Appreciate the yeah, yeah, money well spent.
I mean, I understand what he's saying about. We should
have an open forum and people should say what they want.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
But the trouble is is that you have an opportunity
to raise your clout. In the past, if somebody said
something that was ludicrous, we they would they wouldn't see
the light of day, right, we would filter it out.
If somebody had something to say, that person would start
to sort of rise to the top. They might become
(16:33):
an expert. They might end up on a panel if
they had some knowledge, if they had some some depth
of thought, if they could articulate things very well, they might,
you know, rise and then it might be invited onto
a radio panel or a.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Television or something of that sort.
Speaker 4 (16:49):
But now it's just everyone has the same voice unless
they pay their whatever it is, eight dollars a month
or whatever, and then their voice is amplified and it's
distributed in the same manner as everyone who actually has
depth of thought, which is why somebody. Some people are
(17:10):
going to the other outlets, the Threads and the Blue
Sky and the two texas from n gadget, the two
text based platform sharing some of the same goals, none
of the same tactics for getting there. Meta controlled by
Mark Zuckerberg, embracing the public conversation, but also encouraging certain
types of speech over others. They say the company throttling
(17:32):
political content in an election year, forcing users to tweak
their settings to enable posts about elections or social topics
to appear in their for you feed. Okay, so Meta
is basically saying we don't want all the angst that
that permeates around these conversations of the left right paradigm.
So it's very much Meta is going to say this
(17:55):
is what we want things to look like, and if
you deviate too far from that, we're going to kind
of we're gonna tamp.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Your voice down.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
Blue Sky is more of a user based, user centric,
decentralized I suppose a platform if you're unfamiliar. Blue Sky
came out of the scene after Elon musk So bought Twitter,
So Blue Sky is very decentralized, which also can lead
(18:23):
to the whole free.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
For all type scenario. Uh and.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
What are they calling it? The it's a less less
of a top down approach. The company employs some of
its own moderators to enforce baseline moderation. Users have a
lot of control over how much questionable or harmful content
they want to see. Blue Sky also allows people to
create their own moderation services for an even more custom experience.
They say moderation is in many ways like governance. According
to the CEO Ja Graber Grabbert Graber Grabber, g R
(18:53):
A B E R and setting the norms of a
social space. We don't think one person or one company
should be unilaterally to that for an entire ecosystem where
people are having public conversations.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Important to the state of the world.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
So basically it's like the free for all that Elon
Musk says Twitter should be, although they allow you to
tailor it so you don't have to see everybody's garbage constantly. Ultimately,
doesn't this all come down to what algorithms are being employed?
And that's the kicker. It's all about whatever the app is.
I don't care if it's a dating app. I don't
care if it's a social media app. I don't care
(19:27):
if it's your news curation app. It's all about figuring
out how to manipulate the algorithm. And you know who
else is trying to figure out how to manipulate the algorithm.
The content creators, the people posting things are all trying
to manipulate the algorithm so that you'll click on their
crap is every click turns into a little.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Cash hole on their end.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
Anyway, Hopefully twenty twenty five turns in a less of
assesspool online, but I I do not believe it will,
which is why I have taken You know how I
figured out how to manipulate the the algorithms a lot
of puppy videos. Every time I see something. You know
who does a good job on this one is uh
Tim Conway Junior. You post a lot of you know,
(20:09):
the puppies, the cats and goofy stuff like that. I
love the videos what's up on there? And I watch
those and I will hart those and then I get
more of that stuff and it just makes me feel
happy inside. I know it's a little Pollyanna like. I know,
I turned into a bit of a twelve year old
girl just watching puppies playing. But I got to tell
you my mental health is so much better than reading
somebody else talk about how how much they hate something.
Speaker 5 (20:31):
But it's so true because I'll see stuff like that,
and my thing is cars, so I'll okay, yeah, certain
models and makes, and once i start harding him commenting that,
and I'm like, that's much better. That's careering about politics.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
Far more interesting too, frankly, Yeah, especially if it's something
you're you're actually invested in, you know.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
I agree, I agree. How much are you investing in
your cars? Oh? You mean your time? Yeah? Yeah, time,
I don't know money guards.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
Yet again, you gotta start hanging out with Jay and
it's gonna change your whole life.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
I'm telling you.
Speaker 6 (21:08):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 4 (21:14):
The law makers, the law breakers in the times that
there ought to.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Be a law.
Speaker 4 (21:24):
I like that we're able to touch on the Slow
jama Stan because Slow Jamastan is in the news. Are
you familiar with Slow Jamastan. It's a micro nation in California.
They declared their sovereignty I think like about a year ago,
and according to a release from the Republic of Slow Jamastan,
which is not officially recognized by the United States or
any other nation of people's but it's actually just a
(21:47):
small community.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Near Aktiel Wells in San Diego County.
Speaker 4 (21:55):
According to the Republic of Slow Jamastan, they're offering a
thought that was an ellar rewarded anyone who can help
bring justice to a group of fathers and their children
who apparently burglarized and vandalized the property. KTLA reporting on this,
they put out the video as well. Video of the
surveillance footage. Slow jama Stan released it, posted it to YouTube.
(22:17):
Timestamp says it was December fourteenth, about an hour two
men three children seen and heard moving about the property's
border gate. So basically they bought a bunch of land
and they said, we are sovereign and it's Slow Jamastan.
It's a wonderfully creative little play of nonsense going on there,
(22:38):
and I love it. They ran around the property, talked
about vandalizing and burglarizing the property, and then they started
spray painting things.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
So somebody got on one of those cameras. I don't know,
it's like a ring.
Speaker 4 (22:47):
Oh, it's a real link, real link cameras, so similar
to the ring cameras. Real Link is a different company,
and so they said, hey, you're on camera, dopes, and
when they when the camera started talking to them, they
went oh oh. The group appeared to get nervous, except
for one of the children who remarked, if I'm being
recorded that I'm saying suck bro in another young voice
(23:12):
saying we need to break in. Okay, we need to
break in.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
Okay, all right. So then they were trying to figure
out what was going.
Speaker 4 (23:26):
On, and so they stepped out a frame and then
one of the guys said, hey, man, it's fake.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
It's just fake.
Speaker 4 (23:33):
So if you don't it is even it's probably motion detected.
So if you don't move, it'll just shut off.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
Okay, dopes.
Speaker 4 (23:45):
So anyway, I guess these guys, I guess these guys
got worried that they're gonna get caught, and they were like, hey, man,
you're gonna You're freaking out my kids and all this
other stuff. So then they started spray painting things. They
started spray painting, uh, we declare war. And then they
encourage people to visit surfing ruined mylife dot com. Surfing
(24:09):
ruined my life dot com. Uh so if you search
for surfing Ruined my Life the website. You are then
directed to an online store called my Daddy Makes Art,
which sells clothes. Let's say, oh you got it, didn't you?
You got the joke my Daddy makes Art It's closed
(24:31):
that say MDM A yeah MDMA and rainbow littering. There's
an Instagram page as well for surfing ruined Mylife dot
com that has in their bio we declare war on
Slow jama Stan. So, if not for the fact that
(24:52):
there is actual vandalism going on here, I kind of
love that Slow jama Stan is facing a threat from
an out outside non nation as well, But I don't
like the fact that there's vandalism. I certainly don't like
the fact that we have guys taking their kids out
to commit vandalism. The Sultan of Slow Jamistan put a
(25:14):
statement out to Ktla and fit I love this whole story.
It's not the damage that upsets us as much as
that there's a guy bringing his young kids to join
in on the crime. Even the kids are saying, Dad,
it's not a good idea. Yet the reckless adult male
coerces the children to break the law. You feel the
worst for the kids in the situation. We hope he
has caught and someone can intervene before it's too late
(25:34):
for those poor kids. They deserve better. I agree wholeheartedly.
I don't really care for any of the any of
the vandalism that goes on. You know what, maybe we
just send her a clear message find out who this was,
which shouldn't be too hard because you're just gonna go
to the MDMA clothing website. My daddy makes sorry, and
(25:54):
then you're gonna be able to track that and figure
out who it was. I get the feeling that this
investigation should not take too long and then arrest the children,
take the children away, punish the children, punish them hard.
That's how you send the message. Punishing dads doesn't do
any good here. You got to send a message. You've
got to be clear on that message, and that message
(26:16):
is we will not tolerate crime. We will definitely punish
your children harder. So you want to get things done,
you got to threaten the kids. Speaking of crime, I
love this. We had we had a little bit of
an issue with a CHP CHP stop the rolls Royce
(26:37):
and what they found inside.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
I don't think anybody could have guessed.
Speaker 4 (26:42):
In fact, I'm gonna go ahead and say you did
not have this on your bingo card. That's the new
cool phrase people keep saying on TikTok, not on your
bingo card.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Here we go from ABC seven.
Speaker 7 (26:54):
What started with a traffic stop ended with a CHP
officer holding a baby spider monkey. The officer pulled over
a Rolls Royce for speeding the Maderrek County north of Fresno.
Inside the car, the officer found bags of marijuana and
a monkey.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
That's pretty great, believe to be just one month old.
Speaker 7 (27:12):
The driver was booked on suspicion of dui possession of
cannabis and for sale, and the illegal possession of an
exotic animal. The monkey and innocent victim in all this
has been turned over to animal control.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
What's gonna happen to the spider monkey?
Speaker 4 (27:28):
Does the baby spider monkey go to a spider monkey
zoo or do they try to set it free? What
do they do with the spider monkey? Does it go
to one of those sheriff's auctions.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
That'd be pretty cool. I get a license so I
could have a pet spider monkey. Man, I'm down.
Speaker 4 (27:45):
Also, when was the last time you heard the phrase
spider monkey. Didn't they say that in a Will Ferrell movie.
Wasn't that the like Talladega Knights or something where they
mentioned spider monkeys. I'm gonna come at you like a
spider monkey. Otherwise, nobody talks about spider monkeys anymore, which
is a real tragedy, probably the most underappreciated of the
fun animals.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
That are out there.
Speaker 4 (28:05):
Sometimes you fight the law and then the law wins.
Tell you what the law makers are doing with that
as the law one.
Speaker 6 (28:13):
Next, you're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand
from KFI AM sixty.
Speaker 4 (28:20):
Good News, The Long National Nightmary's Aubern mo Kelly returns
tomorrow night.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
Guys, ever, do any little home projects? Mark? You a
handy guy?
Speaker 1 (28:29):
You?
Speaker 4 (28:29):
Uh, the kind of guy that just my I believe
that I should change this outlet, not the least bit
if somebody held a gun to my head. I couldn't
do any of that. I don't do that, Huh, none
of it. What do you do if you have if
you've got something like, let's say that your sink is.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
Leaking, what do you do? I call a sink leak specialist?
Speaker 2 (28:51):
Oh? Okay, and I pay that person to fix the leak.
Speaker 4 (28:53):
All right, that makes sense. Do you ever use a
handyman or do you just call it? You call a plumber.
If it's a sink, I'm calling a plumber.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
If it's whoever yelp recommends, that's uh oh okay. I'm
very good with the yelp, very handy with yelp.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
That's good. Yes, that's good.
Speaker 4 (29:08):
So I make the mistake of trying to do it
myself first, and then once up about three hundred dollars
in and it's worse, then I call somebody else.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
A true story.
Speaker 4 (29:21):
A friend of mine says, I got a small link
leak in my sink and I said, oh, I can
take care of that. And he says, yeah, it's coming
from down below. And I said, that's easy. We can
take care of that. We just have to replace this
and that, And I knew what I was talking about.
The problem is I got there and I started working
on it, and when I got done, he had a
(29:42):
big leak, and then he had to call somebody else
and another buddy that This was years ago. He says, Man,
I need new breaks on my on my old truck.
We were early in radio and radio didn't pay a
whole lot, especially when you're starting out. So he says,
I need new breaks and I said, but I think
we can do this. This is before the days of YouTube,
(30:02):
so we couldn't just YouTube it. So we we were
looking up the old Chiltren's manuals, you know, or the
Hanes manuals, I guess, and so we spent the seventeen
dollars in the Haynes manual for his old Bronco and
we were like, well, let's fix the brakes. And so
we went and we spent six hundred dollars on the
brakes and the tools and everything else that we would need.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
And we got done.
Speaker 4 (30:26):
We put it all back together and he drove off
and there was this big clacking sound you drive it
down the runway, clack clack clack, and he said, man,
he says, we worked too hard on this. I don't
know what it is, but I'm going to take it
to a mechanic six hundred dollars more. Later we found
out we put we put a bushing on backwards.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
Oops. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (30:47):
So the point is is that I love to take
on projects. I'm just bad at them, and which is
why probably if you have any doubt at all, you
should call somebody else first. Good news. In California. You
can now hire a handyman without a contractor license for
anything that's under one thousand dollars. It used to be
(31:07):
only five hundred dollars. I didn't realize that handyman weren't
allowed to do anything that was more than five hundred dollars.
A thousand dollars seems low to me. You can cook
through one thousand dollars very very quickly. But the new
law goes into effect. Now, this is one of the
new California laws goes into effect. And if you're like
me and you say, you know what I'm gonna I'm
(31:28):
going to replace my I'm going to replace the lights
in my kitchen with LEDs. Here's another one that I did.
And I found these LEDs, but they were the wrong size.
So I just had to cut the ceiling out to
put the new led can lights in. So I did that,
and you could definitely tell where I cut the ceiling out.
(31:50):
From that point forward, it didn't It didn't look terrible
because it was above your head and nobody noticed. But
for the most part, I give it a go. But
it never turns out quite one hundred percent. You realize
that that project, I replaced six lights in my kitchen.
They were just they were can lights, you know, recessed
lighting is what they would call this, and I replaced those.
(32:10):
You realize that if I'd have paid somebody to do that,
I think I don't because you.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
Did have to. There was ceiling cutting and a little
bit of rewiring.
Speaker 4 (32:18):
I don't think it's an exaggerations that say it probably
would have been twelve to fifteen.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
Hundred dollars to have somebody else come in and do it.
Speaker 4 (32:25):
By the time you're into the parts, the labor, the painting,
the taping, the texturing, everything else, you had.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
To do about fifteen hundred dollars.
Speaker 4 (32:32):
You can cruise through one thousand dollars with a handyman
really really fast. If a handyman is doing a job
that's worth more than one thousand dollars, if they provide
a bid greater than one thousand dollars screed to the
new law performing work requiring a permit, or employing any workers,
that person is subject to legal action. Penalties for unlicensed
contracting include administrative finds up to fifteen thousand dollars jail
(32:55):
sentenceive up to six months, and fines who up to
five thousand dollars. Repeat offenders end up with a ninety
day jail sentence. So this is obviously put into place
to stop those fly by night scammy roofers. You know
those guys. We'll have you all have a storm come through.
You've heard these stories before, Right, storm comes through, tears
up somebody's shingles, and they hire some some fly by
(33:17):
night guy that goes, hey, I can take care of
that for you, and then they stiff on, or they
do a crap job whatever else. It is, right, This
is obviously meant to try to stop those people. I
think it actually just limits people like Mark who would
be smart and call somebody in the first place if
their review is on Yelp, or me who has to
call somebody to come fix the mice screw up. Because
I'm telling you, one thousand dollars you can shoot through.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
That in no time. I love the idea of threatening
handymen with prison, because if you have, if you have,
the neighborhood app about fifty percent of the content. For
first of all, one half of the content is complaints
about homeless people. The other few, Okay, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
The other fifty percent is complaints about handyman who screw
people over and who don't finish the job. Oh, do
a terrible job. So yeah, throw them in the Gray
Bar hotel. Yeah, throw them in. Yeah, just put them
in it. Send them to the big house if they
screw up.
Speaker 4 (34:10):
But those are the people that are I mean, those
are the shady contractors that need to be busted down anyway.
If you're just a regular, you know, if you're a
handyman in Fontana and you're just trying to scrape by
doing what you do, well, you work with your hands.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
Well, I'm telling you one thousand dollars jobs. There is
a way around this.
Speaker 4 (34:30):
I believe, and I genuinely believe what you do if
you're a handyman you're trying to get around this law
is that you break a project into multiple small projects.
So let's suppose that I told you I replaced the
lights in my kitchen.
Speaker 2 (34:46):
I believe there were five or six lights.
Speaker 4 (34:49):
There was a like a four inch can that was
in there, and I was putting a six inch can in.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
Okay, do you know what I'm talking about when I
say it can? Is that clear enough? For I'm resisting
every impulse. I have to make it into some some
thing filthy. Yes, I understand what you're saying. Okay, just
having to do one can a month.
Speaker 4 (35:05):
All he has to do is say, yeah, uh uh,
light fix your replacement, uh said, three hundred dollars, you know,
and then light repliction, Light fix your replacement. Number two,
three hundred dollars, number three, three hundred dollars.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (35:21):
It feels like there's an easy way around this thing
by just simply filling out.
Speaker 2 (35:25):
Multiple work orders. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (35:27):
And I don't think it could be like banks where
they monitor if you have a deposit that's too big
or or a suspicious series of deposits. I don't think
anybody is doing any kind of oversight on this, so
you could you could probably skirt the rules on this
if you, if you had a will to.
Speaker 4 (35:39):
It would have to be because somebody is complaining about you,
wouldn't it like this? This feels like an enhancement law,
so that if somebody's complaining, uh, not just on next door,
but on whatever else, if they actually file a complaint,
then it feels like, Okay, you're a shady contractor and
here's the law that you broke. We wrote this law
out so that we could bust somebody for doing it. Otherwise,
you're right, who's gonna because if you write me an
(36:03):
estimate for fifteen hundred dollars, I'm not ratting you out.
Speaker 2 (36:06):
Especially if you a job areddit page about the job
you did, then maybe you're in trouble. Yeah, that would
be it. Yeah, yeah, all right.
Speaker 4 (36:13):
Well that's one of the new laws going into effect
here in the coming year, so look for that. I
I just think it's one of those laws again that
that is going to affect.
Speaker 2 (36:23):
So few people.
Speaker 4 (36:24):
It doesn't seem like I don't know, I just feel
like that number should be closer to twenty or twenty
five hundred. But I suppose that the way around it
is so incredibly simple that the only way you're gonna
get busted is if you if you really upset the homeowner.
Speaker 2 (36:39):
There's no business like show business.
Speaker 4 (36:42):
We'll tell you who's in trouble for their New Year's
Eve celebrations.
