he told about himself and his goal, I was like,
you need to be on the podcast because this is outstanding.

(02:08):
Rob is out to set a world record. That's correct,
and we are not talking just like oh I'm going
to set a world record like this is just you know,
we're just chatting about it. No, he's got an adjudicator
standing by.

Speaker 4 (02:25):
You guys have really done your research, and yeah, you
know how the record. You know the term adjudicator.

Speaker 3 (02:34):
Yes, and that means that the Guinness Book of World
Records knows about Rob, knows about his goal, and you
know what, you guys can help him set his world record.
And before we get into all of that and what
it is, and we get down to the nitty gritty,

(02:58):
because this is very exciting that we that we can
be a part of history. We could be You're gonna
be in that book or whatever. You're gonna be in
the However it is now distributed, the Guinness Book of
World Records. I mean it is an official, like hard
copy book.

Speaker 4 (03:15):
It could be an online thing. At this point they
might have like a newsletter, but you know, the book's
still around.

Speaker 3 (03:21):
You're gonna be in the news. You're gonna be you're
making some sort of documentary. Hence the go pros everywhere,
and so I'm like an extreme close up right now.

Speaker 2 (03:32):
It makes me a little bit.

Speaker 4 (03:33):
And also, how often do your viewers get to see
the perspective of the guest looking outward exactly?

Speaker 3 (03:39):
So once this is all said and done, you'll be
able to see all of this. But first we're gonna
talk about our sponsor, which is the Old Globe. You
know about the Old Globe. It's like a gem in
San Diego.

Speaker 4 (03:55):
Sponsor's old Globe and one is Old Bay.

Speaker 2 (03:58):
Oh go on, that is.

Speaker 3 (04:03):
See this is all meant to be.

Speaker 4 (04:05):
Do you want me to hold this for you?

Speaker 3 (04:06):
All meant to be?

Speaker 2 (04:07):
Oh no, I'm good. Okay, yeah, yeah, okay.

The Old Globe Theater in San Diego is an absolute
jewel and gem, and their twenty twenty six season is

Now you don't know who Katie Holmes is?

Speaker 2 (04:34):
Is it an actress?

Speaker 3 (04:36):
Oh, she's like a super beautiful famous actress. There's her
picture right there.

Speaker 4 (04:41):
Doesn't look familiar.

Speaker 3 (04:42):
Well you are a That is unfortunate.

Speaker 4 (04:46):
But I couldn't name most actress or actresses. But I'm
sure she's famous and I'm sure she's going to do
a great job at uh.

Speaker 3 (04:52):
She's going to head a gap, had a.

Speaker 4 (04:53):
Big head a Gabbler.

Speaker 3 (04:54):
This is an old story told in a brand new perspective.
But this, this is what had a Gabbler is all about. Okay,
she is bored. She's restless. This is like in the thirties,
and she's married to some like I think he's like
a lieutenant or something. And she's bored with her life

(05:18):
and she wants to mix things up and stir things
up and stir up drama and things happen, and she
is like kind of like a narcissist in a way, okay,
and she does some crazy things.

Speaker 2 (05:31):
Is she trying to sell me a ticket? Yes? Are
you in? I'll let's go.

Speaker 4 (05:36):

If is it a musical, No, no, okay, it's a play.

Speaker 3 (06:10):
It is a play. And if the man the artistic director,

well known artistic directors of theater there is. And when

maybe like the nerdier type of person in the world.
Are like, you're on your own kind of wavelength in life. Okay,
you do things a little differently than Rob.

Speaker 2 (07:55):
Just remember this. I got your name correct, and I
like you.

Speaker 4 (07:59):
So you know, Laura I started beef?

Speaker 3 (08:04):
Is that there's no beef started. I'm just saying, like I'm.

Speaker 4 (08:07):
Just I've messed up Claire's name and Laura's. Yeah, he
called within five minutes.

Speaker 3 (08:13):
The name of the show is Laura. Came after dark.
He called me Lauren. Okay, that's fine.

Speaker 2 (08:18):
Stop, this is great. It's great.

Speaker 3 (08:21):

So, oh my god, this is awesome.

Speaker 3 (08:46):
I've touched your knee several times now, so we're like
family right now.

Speaker 4 (09:09):
I did listen to an episode of the podcast. By
the way, Gee, how you were both excellent? Oh the
sound quality was perfect.

Speaker 3 (09:17):
The topic favorite, who's your favorite so far? And it
doesn't matter you could be honest.

Speaker 4 (09:21):
It's literally deady. In fact, it's Hannah. I'm kidding, kidding Favorite.
Everybody loves Claire.

Speaker 3 (09:29):
Everybody loves Clarias.

Speaker 4 (09:31):
That should be the name of another podcast.

Speaker 2 (09:32):
Well we should just change the name to this one
that everybody loves Claire.

Speaker 3 (09:36):
Welcome to the Claire Show. There you go. This this go, bro,
This is the way this show is going.

Speaker 4 (09:43):
So no, okay, let me just double chap. I don't
want to or anything.

Speaker 3 (09:48):
He came in with, like all this equipment we were
all going to wear go pros at one point, Oh
my god, because he's making a documentary about this thing
that he's doing and wanting all to be a part
of he's wearing Old Bay. Here, Elvis needs to get
off the couch because he just wants we don't have
room for three people on a dog and a go

(10:11):
pro and like, yeah, you look great, you look at it.

Speaker 4 (10:15):
Let's check the go pros running.

Speaker 3 (10:16):
But I think it is the gow pro running. Well,
it looks like it has the red light is blinking.
Is that okay? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (10:22):
Well, Claire, if you've got eyes on this one. And
I know I'm mad an extra work to your already
hectic workloads. But if you see it, just turn off
while you just press the top button.

Speaker 3 (10:31):
Oh not like she hasn't enough to do, but yeah,
I know that's okay. She can handle it.

Speaker 4 (10:36):
She's I didn't promise you i'd come on this show
with my shit together.

Speaker 3 (10:41):
So okay, Well that's good because that's the kind of
show we run here, all right.

Speaker 4 (10:45):
Good.

Speaker 3 (10:45):
We try to have our you know what together, but
a lot of times we don't like As a matter
of fact, you can swear. Eric calls ten minutes before showtime,
Oh my gosh, I'm on my way back home. I
los my wallet somewhere between my apartment and the car,
so we had to go home. We found the wallet.

Speaker 4 (11:07):
Where was the wallet?

Speaker 2 (11:08):
It was actually inside my apartment. It was Eric and
then Eric.

Speaker 3 (11:13):
Rob who we've been chatting back and forth via email
and stuff. We had this dates all set up, We
did this weight in advance. It's like ten to seven.
He's still not here, and I'm like, is our guest
even going to show up? And so you're a little
bit late? But that's okay.

Speaker 4 (11:31):
Well I want to I want to take a poll
real quick. If somebody says start time at seven is
six fifty five a sufficient start show up time? It
is if one of the hosts has lost their wallets.

Speaker 3 (11:45):
Yes, yeah, And you know what, this is not out
of the ordinary for Eric, just on the regular she
shows me the talent. I call the talent. He crops
down and we start the show and who like sets
everything up me. Okay, so that's enough about me. We
got to know who is this man right here sitting
on our couch wearing an old Bay shirt.

Speaker 2 (12:04):
That's why her name is Yes.

Speaker 4 (12:07):
I was gonna say, you know you kind of got
like the sub font under there.

Speaker 2 (12:11):
Well he just got at it. He wasn't even on this.
I wasn't even.

Speaker 4 (12:14):
Written in sharpie under there.

Speaker 2 (12:16):
Yeah, I'm waiting for it to kick the bucket so
I can just yeah, okay, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (12:21):
And Matt says it should be after dark with Lauren
and Aaron and Anna whenever he's calling her. Okay, Rob Cavaluto,
please tell us why you've brought in various go pros.
Why are you wearing an old bay like bikers cycling

(12:42):
cycling Jersey? Okay?

Speaker 2 (12:43):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (12:44):
And who you are? Who are you Rob? And why
do we have you on the show?

Speaker 2 (12:50):
This is your life? Okay?

Speaker 4 (12:51):
Well, according to Laura, I'm just a nerdy guy.

Speaker 3 (12:55):
I'm just if you were, But I didn't say you were.

Speaker 4 (12:58):
Partially right, I'll give you that, but not nerdy in
the like you know, overly introverted.

Speaker 3 (13:03):
Sense, in a very creative way.

Speaker 4 (13:05):
I'm nerdy and can be a guest on a podcast.

Speaker 3 (13:08):
Yes, you were interesting enough. Like your story. It captured
me and I think it'll capture all of you.

Speaker 4 (13:17):
Too, capture the hearts of millions.

Speaker 3 (13:19):
Millions, because who hasn't thought about setting a world record?
I mean, in your lifetime you've thought, I wonder if
I could ever sit againness world record?

Speaker 2 (13:31):
Well?

Speaker 3 (13:32):
Rob Cappeluto is out to do that, and he is
really close. So explain who you are and what is
your goal.

Speaker 4 (13:43):
Okay, so my name is Rob Cappoluto, and my goal
is to break the world record for the most cars
honking in one place at one time.

Speaker 3 (13:52):
Okay, Now, I love how you came upon this idea,
yet it wasn't even your idea at first. You met
somebody in a bar. Yes, please explain how that went down.

Speaker 4 (14:08):
Mexico City, solo traveling around and you know, especially in
Mexico City, that's the type of city where you can
walk into a bar and there's the locals there, or
there might be just some people who are clearly travelers,
and they gravitated towards one dude in particular who was
just like clearly chilling looking for some company. And you

(14:30):
know how it goes. You strike up a conversation and
pretty quickly, this actually skill of mine is to very
quickly I can tell what a person's interesting story is.
This guy wasn't that hard to tell, because right off
the bat, he's like, I work for the Guinness World
Book of Records, So instantly I have a thousand questions.

Speaker 2 (14:48):
Oh of course, yes, I mean what a wild life?

Speaker 4 (14:51):
And yeah, the dude had some pretty interesting stories, and
as we continue to drink more alcohol, the thought crossed
my mind, Like you said, everyone's I had this imagination
of what type of record would I break? And at
the time I didn't know, But over the span of
about a year I started to develop the criteria think
about what I wanted to do.

Speaker 3 (15:13):
So from that conversation you had conversation and he said
I can help you, or like, how did that work? Like,
once you have the idea, I can help guide you?
Is that kind of very much that?

Speaker 4 (15:25):
Yeah? I mean the thing with the Guinness World Book
of Records is you can have the idea, but to
actually like jump through the hoops to get it set
up and funded, yes, is a whole different thing. And
so to have somebody on my team that was like,
you know, I'll guide you through that process and kind
of fast track a few things, that was a very
helpful point that kind of made me take it seriously.

Speaker 3 (15:46):
And at that point, you had no idea what record
you would even set.

Speaker 2 (15:54):
Do you have idea?

Speaker 3 (15:55):
Do you have any like skills that would qualify do
you you have something that you do.

Speaker 4 (16:01):
That's like no skills that would qualify you?

Speaker 3 (16:04):
Do things better? Something better than anybody else in the world.

Speaker 4 (16:07):
No, I don't think so. I mean, we're looking at
like the world's.

Speaker 3 (16:10):
Best, right, So tell me the process of narrowing down.

Speaker 2 (16:16):
Your goal when it comes to honking a horn. I
am one of the world's best.

Speaker 4 (16:20):
You well, yeah, you should be the one kind of
behind the main steering wheel at that point I should be. Yeah, Okay,
we need a professional honker on the team.

Speaker 2 (16:29):
Did this come to cut Claire? There we go?

Speaker 3 (16:34):
Wait, there's no horns honking? I really oh I'm not
hearing a horn. But anyway, Okay, how did you come
up with? Okay, what is the what's the goal? What
record are you going to break?

Speaker 4 (16:48):
So the record is the most cars honking in one
place at one time. Okay, And as Eric pointed out earlier,
the previous record was do you remember.

Speaker 2 (16:58):
A thousand, one thousand and seven seventy seven?

Speaker 4 (17:01):
Do you remember where it was?

Speaker 2 (17:04):
No Philippines in the Philippines.

Speaker 3 (17:07):
Okay, when was this set? How long ago was this
record set?

Speaker 4 (17:14):
I believe I don't want to get this wrong, but
I believe it was twenty nineteen.

Speaker 3 (17:18):
Okay, So this isn't two.

Speaker 4 (17:19):
This is a pre COVID world record.

Speaker 3 (17:21):
Okay, okay, so you decided you how did you come
to that?

Speaker 4 (17:28):
So I started to develop this criteria. One of them,
as you pointed out, I had no skills that I
wanted to learn. I didn't want to spend way too
long trying to figure out how to you know, solve
a Rubik scuba or something like that. The other one
was that it had to be community based, get a
bunch of people together. And then the third one is
that it just had to be weird, had to be

(17:50):
bizarre and unusual, right, And I started to think, if
what's like the most annoying type of record I could break?
And truly I could not think of something more annoying
than you know, thirteen hundred cars in a parking lot
honking their horns together.

Speaker 2 (18:06):
Oh my god.

Speaker 3 (18:06):
Huh. People don't honk their horns. That's one of my
main pet peeves in life, Like I never honk my horn.

Speaker 4 (18:13):
It's a very situational thing. There are times where it
feels kind of appropriate, but I agree with you that
most of the time I never want to hear anyone
honk a horn.

Speaker 3 (18:22):
Okay, but you do want to hear it's gonna be
how how many are we gonna need to break.

Speaker 4 (18:30):
The record seventy seven. We're going for thirteen hundred.

Speaker 3 (18:34):
We're going. Oh okay, So there's no joke, there's no like, hey,
I'm going to break that. Somebody's gonna come around and
break it the next year after you.

Speaker 2 (18:43):
No, we need to shatter the record.

Speaker 3 (18:45):
There we go. I love that. I love that.

Speaker 4 (18:47):
We need to make it so it'll be like, unless
another rob in another place exists in some amount of time,
it's got to be very difficult.

Speaker 3 (18:54):
Okay. So you want this to hold.

Speaker 4 (18:57):
For a while, Yes, I want to die with this legacy.

Speaker 3 (19:00):
Oh my gosh, I love it. So you ended up
getting a sponsor, yes, to fund what like your research
or what so.

Speaker 4 (19:10):
Old Bay has put a fair amount of money into
the operation. There's a lot of money that goes into advertising, permits, logistics,
you know, like going into this, I just kind of
had no idea it would cost so much money.

Speaker 3 (19:23):
Okay.

Speaker 4 (19:24):
And at this point most of the money has been spent. Oh,
the bank account has at zero. And actually, this is
a crucial thing that I have to break the news about,
is that very recently one of our main permits was
actually revoked for Honk Fest.

Speaker 3 (19:41):
But okay, what happened. Tell us what happened, and how
can we help with that?

Speaker 4 (19:46):
So essentially, I had a police officer from the San
Diego Police Department reach out to me the other day
and he basically said he's reviewed the permits and he
doesn't think that we chose a great spot to do it.

Speaker 3 (20:00):
What spot did you choose? Originally?

Speaker 4 (20:02):
I am not at liberty to conceal that information because
we're still very much trying to figure out what the
next best move is.

Speaker 3 (20:09):
Okay, so this is still the location still might work
under yes, certain circumstances, if things are to change.

Speaker 4 (20:17):
Yes, I think like at this point I'm actively looking
for like legal advice and looking to yeah, talk to
a lawyer.

Speaker 2 (20:25):
Okay.

Speaker 4 (20:26):
It's kind of at a point where it's like things
have gotten very out of control, and it was like,
you know, I'm just one person trying to organize this festival,
and so once the permit was revoked, it's like, you know,
things kind of got a little fire festival like out
of hand.

Speaker 3 (20:44):
Yeah, don't say fire, don't don't go there. We're not
going there, and I'll bring our own toilet paper.

Speaker 2 (20:50):
Okay.

Speaker 4 (20:51):
Yeah, that's the main thing. I actually wanted to ask about.

Speaker 3 (20:53):
Okay, so you're not only you don't only want like
a bunch of people to get together for like, I
don't know, ten minutes, honk a horn and leave. No,
you want this to be something a little bit more
than that.

Speaker 4 (21:07):
So it's it's a festival. It's the Honk the fest.
Part of Honk Fest is the festival.

Speaker 3 (21:12):
And what is that? What do you want that to
include besides this world record with everybody gathering.

Speaker 4 (21:18):
So initially and what I think still will be true
is we had performers, we had bands, activities. Is going
to be kind of like a fair carnival type thing,
very much branded by Old Bay. Is a kind of
Old Bay's as classic American seasoning brand. Oh Okay, I'd

(21:39):
say it's kind of like the og American seasoning brand.

Speaker 3 (21:43):
Okay, excellent.

Speaker 4 (21:45):
And you know they've put a fair amount of money
into this, Okay, and you know, we're just in a
sticky situation right now where Old Bay has invested and
they have expectations. Naturally, you know when all of this
stuff went down and we the permit.

Speaker 3 (22:06):
Was revoked, when did that happen.

Speaker 4 (22:09):
Within the past two weeks?

Speaker 3 (22:11):
Okay, this was very recent.

Speaker 4 (22:13):
Okay, okay, when that was revoked, we had the Old
Bay legal team reach out to us and very clearly
expressed the fact that we had some contractual obligations to
fill in the form of a festival, right and the
fact that we had already spent a lot of their
money didn't make it easier either. And so I'm now

(22:35):
at a place where it's a little bit too late
to back out, and we're not backing out. We're not backing
out like truly, and I'm looking in the camera right now.
We're still going to break the record.

Speaker 3 (22:46):
We are going to break. This festival is going to happen.

Speaker 4 (22:49):
Thank you, Laura.

Speaker 3 (22:51):
You know what, sometimes things like this happened before something
huge and amazing, and I'm.

Speaker 4 (22:57):
Hoping that's the case. I'm really hoping that's the case.
I think one of the things is that it doesn't
mean we can't do the festival, and it doesn't necessarily
mean we can't do it in that place. We had
the the our representative at the city strongly advised that
we don't do it as it would be a public

(23:18):
safety concern.

Speaker 3 (23:19):
Okay, not that many. It's not like we're talking twenty
thousand people.

Speaker 4 (23:25):
Like, true, I personally think it'll be fine. I legitimately
think it would be fine, and I think, you know,
it's like it's the special event permit. I don't know
how important it is to have that permit. Okay, But
again I'm asking viewers, I need a lawyer to contact me.
I'm looking for legal advice, and truly, I just want

(23:46):
to know. Is this something where you just kind of
do it, you know.

Speaker 3 (23:51):
And then say, oops, sorry.

Speaker 4 (23:53):
Maybe maybe I don't know.

Speaker 3 (23:57):
You've got to go forward with this. Okay, Now, when
were you thinking? When is it supposed to happen?

Speaker 4 (24:05):
So, given the recent occurrences were so the plan has
always been to announce the festival one week prior, and
that was a logistical decision we made just to like
for security reasons. Okay, So we haven't actually announced the
official data the festival yet. The festival is going to

(24:25):
be announced one week prior. But anyone who wants to
participateh go to Honk Fest dot com dot com.

Speaker 3 (24:32):
I saw that you can sign up to be part
of this through your website, right, So it's Honkfest dot
com dot com.

Speaker 4 (24:41):
Correct, Okay, and that's just because go daddy, has an
interesting thing figured out where you got to pay a
premium amount for premium domain. Yes, and I didn't want
to spend any of that money for that, and so
got a little bit creative with the url. Okay, two
dot COM's in there, and the first one is spelled out,
the second one is just regular dot com.

Speaker 3 (25:02):
Hey, I'm sure that anybody that would google honk Fest,
you're gonna come across it got honk Fest. So it's
gonna happen in San Diego. Because you said, Okay, there's
beeping happening.

Speaker 4 (25:13):
What is that saying?

Speaker 3 (25:13):
It says it turned yellow, and then it.

Speaker 2 (25:16):
Said off, Okay, how do we need to do?

Speaker 3 (25:18):
What do we need to do?

Speaker 4 (25:19):
Let's turn this one off.

Speaker 3 (25:20):
Okay, if we need to change things up. I know
this is like a big deal. I know he's making
a documentary about this whole thing. We're bored of a documentary.
This could be like the coolest thing ever.

Speaker 4 (25:32):
I just really hope that I'm not like disrupting the
flow too.

Speaker 2 (25:36):
Much by you.

Speaker 3 (25:37):
No, listen, we've had the way we do our podcastle Yeah,
we don't ever, we don't edit it.

Speaker 2 (25:45):
We don't.

Speaker 3 (25:46):
It's very free flowing.

Speaker 4 (25:48):
I kind of like the fact that I can stand up.
You know, it feels like I'm not confined to the couches.

Speaker 2 (25:53):
We've taken our clothes off, it doesn't surprise.

Speaker 3 (25:55):
And you have the things we've We've peed in diapers,
weave like hold on, yeah.

Speaker 4 (26:02):
You've pe and diapers on.

Speaker 3 (26:04):
An adult diaper. I had to sniff a but a
stinky butt.

Speaker 2 (26:10):
Okay, excuse me, My bolt was not stinky.

Speaker 3 (26:13):
No, I know it wasn't. And I proved that.

Speaker 2 (26:15):
Oh that's right.

Speaker 4 (26:15):
It seems like maybe there's a record that could be
broken here of like, uh, I.

Speaker 2 (26:19):
Don't know, the grossest things to people can.

Speaker 4 (26:23):
That's something the Guinness World Records I'm sure would love
to talk about.

Speaker 2 (26:27):
Last week, I was wearing a metal cod piece and
she had a blow up sex doll with her.

Speaker 3 (26:31):
Do you know what a cod piece is?

Speaker 4 (26:32):
No, Am, I supposed to know what that is.

Speaker 3 (26:34):
It's like a medieval jock strap, like, but it's made
of chastity though like yeah, some yes, but it's like
a big giant metal thing that you put over.

Speaker 4 (26:46):
Your where'd you get that her? I got it on
a Etsy? No, that seems like an Etsy five.

Speaker 3 (26:53):
No, we do a thing called the terrible tu Christmas Exchange.
You know what TIMU is. Yeah, and we find the
most hideous gifts ever.

Speaker 4 (27:00):
Team is the first reference that I think I've gotten
on this pod. I know, Okay, that's funny what's going on,
But I don't know what the disconnect is.

Speaker 3 (27:10):
Anyway, we found it on on T you anyway. So yeah,
we've had cod pieces, We've feed in diapers, we had like, oh,
we did a show once where we both faced our
most horrible fears. Eric's is spiders, and somebody brought in
a tarantula and he had to reach into the cage
and pet the Charanda.

Speaker 4 (27:30):
Oh wow, did you did it? Help you alone? You're
still as scared about spiders?

Speaker 2 (27:38):
She had to watch somebody throw up.

Speaker 3 (27:40):
In my biggest fear, I'm in a metaphob meaning I
get terrified if people throwing up, not just sickened, I'm terrified.

Speaker 4 (27:47):
What about when you throw up?

Speaker 3 (27:48):
I don't ever throw up.

Speaker 2 (27:49):
I won't like you just prevent yourself from doing.

Speaker 3 (27:52):
It absolutely like the other. Like just a couple just
a couple of weeks ago, I was so sick I
had food poisoning. But instead of just like getting rid
of it, I suffered in my mouth watering, you know
that feeling, and I just held it in, held it
in because that's how bad it is. But anyway, my
biggest fear was some guy drank syrup of epicac, you

(28:16):
know what that is, and I had to watch him
throw up in a bucket in front.

Speaker 2 (28:21):
Of me on the podcast on the right.

Speaker 3 (28:24):
Yes, so we've done this is just touching the ice.

Speaker 4 (28:29):
I don't have to, you know, open the door of
past episodes here, but I'm fascinated by your inability to
throw up like that is.

Speaker 3 (28:39):
That is so I will swallow, swallow, swallow, swallows.

Speaker 2 (28:44):
It's probably not good to advertise that hit the car horn?
Can we just end up?

Speaker 3 (28:54):
Here's a girl that'll swallow?

Speaker 2 (28:57):
Clamp of Laura just going. I will swallow, swallow.

Speaker 4 (29:03):
But it's not a guy reflex thing. No, no, So
it's like almost worse that way, something even less healthy
about that.

Speaker 3 (29:12):
It's horrible, it's really bad. I will suffer and I did, like.

Speaker 4 (29:17):
When was the last time you threw up?

Speaker 2 (29:19):
Dude?

Speaker 3 (29:19):
When was?

Speaker 2 (29:20):
Oh gosh, it's been forever, you know that. Oh yeah,
I've known her for over twenty years and I don't
think she ever has did.

Speaker 4 (29:29):
Y'all party together to the point that like, well.

Speaker 3 (29:31):
Here's a good thing. I'm sober almost nineteen years.

Speaker 4 (29:35):
Okay, so it would have been one year of your
friendship where she may have gone very No, he's only
known me sober.

Speaker 2 (29:41):
And I would I would have never let her party.
I've been like, no, no, let's put this to bed.

Speaker 3 (29:47):
Yeah, so he doesn't party at all. So no, I
don't think I've ever thrown up since you've known me. No, Yeah, Like,
I just don't do that. I would, I would rather.
I'd rather see blood. I don't know. I think she's
somebody's arm cut off with like blood spurting out. I
can handle that.

Speaker 2 (30:05):
Is that true?

Speaker 4 (30:06):
You would rather see a severed arm than vomit?

Speaker 3 (30:08):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (30:09):
Yes, she watched. She watched Doctor Pimple Popper twenty four
to seven before.

Speaker 3 (30:16):
If there is, if there is a show on TV where,
Oh my god, there is a movie that destroyed me.
Oh it's called the Triangle of Sadness and it's about
these people on this luxury yacht and all things go
haywire and there's a big oh my.

Speaker 2 (30:37):
God, oh everybody on this boat. It is the absolute
Is it a horror film? It's no, it's with what's
his name.

Speaker 3 (30:44):
I don't even I don't even want to talk know what, Harrelson,
he's the captain.

Speaker 4 (30:48):
It's funny because the irony is that when you feel
queasy about something, you gag, but like that probably makes
things feel worse.

Speaker 3 (30:55):
No, and I don't gag due to her.

Speaker 2 (30:57):
If she ever irritates me, the first thing I do
is get on my phone and send her like a
gift or a meme of something.

Speaker 3 (31:02):
I don't open up any of his videos that he
sends me because they they're just people brand.

Speaker 4 (31:07):
So med Well, she puts a fucking tarantula in your bed?

Speaker 2 (31:11):
Oh, she sends me stuff all the time, with spiders
and stuff.

Speaker 3 (31:14):
Yeah, I know, but like you guys.

Speaker 4 (31:16):
Are at each other about it, we love it.

Speaker 3 (31:19):
Yes, he teases me relentlessly with the with the throw
up stuff. So anyway, but this isn't about me and
my throat phobia. Yeah, this is about getting honk Fest
off the ground. And okay, so every okay, how can
people be notified by signing up on the website.

Speaker 4 (31:35):
Okay, signing up on the website.

Speaker 3 (31:37):
Honkfest dot com dot com sign up so you will
be notified a week ahead of time when it's time
to head out to the festival, and you will be.

Speaker 2 (31:47):
A part of history, history, a world record. This is
we're gonna make honk Fest bigger than the American Flag. Wow.

Speaker 3 (31:56):
Then the Jeff and Jerre American flag. Wow. That's gonna
be hard top.

Speaker 4 (32:00):
But you know what, that's incredible. So so when traveling
to other countries, more people would be familiar with honk
Fest than the American flag.

Speaker 2 (32:09):
So let's think about bigger than Obama.

Speaker 3 (32:11):
What do you need legal wise? We need we need
like some specifics here, like what do you need from somebody?
Can you tell us where it was? You can't tell
us where it was going to be at or where?

Speaker 4 (32:22):
No, I can't let me pop this thing on, pop
it on.

Speaker 3 (32:25):
Do whatever you need to do with your electronics.

Speaker 2 (32:28):
You're going to be part of it. I'm kind of
document I should have prefaced.

Speaker 3 (32:32):
Clarity to the thumbs up. Okay, Claires on it.

Speaker 4 (32:37):
You know, truly, there's not much else I can do
at this point. I've kind of I think I need
to just seek some legal advice, which you know.

Speaker 3 (32:48):
Husband is an attorney and I'd be happy to call
him after this.

Speaker 4 (32:52):
Okay, let me let me get in touch with your
ex husband.

Speaker 2 (32:55):
I'm serious, like, we're on good terms, okay.

Speaker 3 (32:58):
And he's an attorney and I'm sure he'd be totally
down to help you with any kind of advice he
possibly could.

Speaker 4 (33:04):
All right, let's talk to him. What's his name?

Speaker 2 (33:06):
His name is Dave.

Speaker 4 (33:07):
We're gonna talk to Dave.

Speaker 3 (33:09):
We'll talk after the podcast probably does not comletely, probably
can't like say anything like we're live on multiple platforms.

Speaker 2 (33:17):
Robert, I'm going to take a flying leap at this,
but I have a feeling that not a lot bothers you.
Oh man, how wrong you could be about that he's
stressed out.

Speaker 3 (33:27):
This was a stressed man right now I.

Speaker 2 (33:29):
Have you are so calm and collected. You know.

Speaker 4 (33:33):
The funny thing is is that what is going on
on the inside is very different to what you see
on the outside. Inside, there's just uh.

Speaker 3 (33:40):
These last two weeks have been a lot huh.

Speaker 4 (33:43):
You know, it's like hong Fest. But then it's just like,
you know, life, life is life. And again, this is
a therapy couch. So if it's a safe place, everything
stays within this room and also amongst whoever these viewers are.

Speaker 3 (33:56):
Yes, tell what is happening in your life that we
can help you with besides hot Fest and which we
will you know what we're going to get this off thing.
We'll talk about it off the air late, okay, because
you'll tell us career it was going to be. I
might be able to help you.

Speaker 2 (34:10):
Well, listen.

Speaker 4 (34:11):
I do just want to give you guys a little
gift here, and this is on behalf of our sponsors.
I'm talking about Old Bay and if you guys want
if you're looking for delicious recipes.

Speaker 2 (34:21):
First of all, Old.

Speaker 4 (34:22):
Bay is a hotline that you can call it and
this is mentioned on the side of their Old Base Seasoning.
I love there and it's just for more recipes. You
can call a hotline, call them up, tell them what
ingredients you have in your fridge and they'll tell you
they will walk you through a certain dish that you
can make with Old Bay.

Speaker 3 (34:39):
That's incredible.

Speaker 4 (34:41):
Yeah, give the number. You want me to put the
number out there.

Speaker 3 (34:44):
I say it all right, helps you.

Speaker 4 (34:46):
All right to all the listeners at home. If you're
looking for delicious recipes that use this delicious seasoning, call
one eight hundred six three two five eight four seven
or you can visit Oldbay dot com.

Speaker 3 (34:58):
I love that Old Bay took a ch chance on you,
and we're taking a chance on you and you're going
to do this. Honk Fest is happening.

Speaker 2 (35:05):
Okay, thank you.

Speaker 4 (35:06):
That's this is the motivation I need, because yeah, when
things and that's for you, Eric.

Speaker 2 (35:11):
Oh thank you. Now, don't bother giving Laura. Well, she
doesn't cook. I can't cook. But unless this is beige
and she can, just I only.

Speaker 4 (35:19):
I was going to ask what your favorite dish to
make with Old Bay is, but I guess it's kind
of a wasted rice.

Speaker 3 (35:25):
I like rice. I'd put it all over rice. I
would slather that overright.

Speaker 4 (35:30):
Just on cooked rice and Old Bay rice.

Speaker 2 (35:33):
And does that sound delicious for dinner?

Speaker 3 (35:36):
Okay, let's get back on track. I feel like you
also might have an issue with focus.

Speaker 4 (35:41):
That's something that I result in my eighty d years.

Speaker 3 (35:45):
Okay, oh, this is back on.

Speaker 4 (35:47):
We're alive with this on, we're cooking.

Speaker 3 (35:48):
Now with with this okay, so honk Fest sign up,
so you know what it is. Let's help him break
the world record. You already have the adjudicator. What is
an adjudicate?

Speaker 4 (36:00):
Judicator is somebody that officially oversees the record attempt. Okay,
so we have that that's in the bag, and like
you know, truly at this point, my only concern is
could I get into trouble if I went ahead with
Honk Fest? And, like I said, we had the city
reach out to us and they said it could be
a public safety hazard.

Speaker 3 (36:22):
Okay, but like what does that mean? Okay, so they
didn't say, okay, you could be arrested. Maybe right, I.

Speaker 4 (36:30):
Don't think I'm gonna get arrested if you.

Speaker 3 (36:32):
Okay, Let's say you go ahead with the festival and
everybody shows up, the Guinness people are there, the honks happen,
then we all party out right, and then the police
come they break it up. Who's in charge of this?
You have to say, I am sir.

Speaker 4 (36:54):
I will take full responsibility. If the cops do show
up to Honk Fest, I will gladly up and confront
them and just explain, guys, we're just trying to hang
out and have a little bit of fun. We're not
trying to hurt anyone.

Speaker 2 (37:07):
Let me rob, let me just be the Devil's affected here.

Speaker 3 (37:09):
We need to talk about it in.

Speaker 2 (37:11):
This time of strife. Maybe walking up to a cop
and confronting them may not be confronting.

Speaker 4 (37:18):
If there's one thing I know how to do as
a wide American, it's confront of cop.

Speaker 3 (37:23):
And I think we should even call him cops, Like,
let's just be let's be, let's be nice.

Speaker 2 (37:28):
What's a police officer? Cops? Too much of me?

Speaker 3 (37:33):
Diego City police officer.

Speaker 2 (37:36):
Winking would not be a good idea. You I Heardking
Eric's going, No, we need to be If anyone's going
to host this guy, I might.

Speaker 3 (37:51):
Call the police. I'm going to call one one one
right now.

Speaker 2 (37:53):
Yeah, we should do fifty.

Speaker 3 (37:57):
That means he's mental and he need to go to
the mental delitation.

Speaker 2 (38:01):
Like that's a big surprise.

Speaker 3 (38:03):
Okay, I've already been fifty one fifty in my life,
so I already know what it's all about.

Speaker 4 (38:06):
Yeah, we should all do that. Before the end of
the pod.

Speaker 3 (38:09):
You might be fifty one to fifty who knows, But okay,
just for ten you do get arrested for breaking whatever
law they said. Did they say you were breaking a law?

Speaker 4 (38:21):
They said that if I don't this is from the city.
They said, if I don't have the correct permits, okay,
then I could I am forming and their words were
an illegal assembly.

Speaker 3 (38:34):
Okay, Now, in this day and age, like Eric kind
of brought up, we do need to be careful because
everybody's very fragile and everybody's very hyper aware of this
kind of stuff. Yeah, we need to make sure that
they know it's all in good fun. And how many
permits are you missing?

Speaker 4 (38:52):
Like one, there's one permit, it's a special event permit.

Speaker 3 (38:55):
Okay.

Speaker 4 (38:56):
My whole thing is, I don't I think we can
just kind of wing it and figure it out after
the fact.

Speaker 3 (39:02):
I'm kind of the same kind of person. Now Claire
is clenching, clenching.

Speaker 2 (39:06):
Her but she know she is clutching her to chime in.

Speaker 3 (39:10):
Here is a rule follower.

Speaker 4 (39:12):
That's the thing that surprises me.

Speaker 3 (39:14):
I'm such a big rule follower. The concept of you
like getting a like a letter from the city and saying, well,
I'll just do it anyway. She's freaking out, like inside,
like she's like.

Speaker 2 (39:24):
That's a hard her butthole has slam shut like a
steel trap. She's suckered up.

Speaker 3 (39:31):
Now me, I'm tense. Yes, I'm all about this. Yeah,
just kind of going for it and going and then
after the fact, ooh.

Speaker 2 (39:40):
Sorry, you know who Biggie Smalls is.

Speaker 3 (39:44):
Yes, yes, I do. Okay, I know like pop culture.

Speaker 4 (39:49):
Okay, well I I don't, and so that's why I
just was making sure out of respect. But he had
a he has a good line that goes, shoot first,
ask questions last, and then I think the next one
is like that's how some of these no good gangsters
I don't remember they Yeah. Anyways, the part I'm trying
to make is shoot first, asked questions last.

Speaker 3 (40:09):
You know, what if that's what you have to do.
But see, you're going to be telling people a week
ahead of time, so that gives uh, that gives others
a week to maybe shut you down. So you know,
we have to think about some Verry.

Speaker 2 (40:22):
Let me ask you this question and you can we
can talk about it off the era. Yes, if this
is too much, is it in a more heavily populated.

Speaker 4 (40:33):
Area, yes, that was the main concern was that there
was going to be spillover from the lot into the
main streets.

Speaker 3 (40:39):
Okay, okay, is there a chance of is there an?
Is that you have a plan B as far as
the location.

Speaker 4 (40:45):
So here's the other thing is the lot has been
the most substantial cost through this whole.

Speaker 2 (40:51):
Endeavor from Old Bay.

Speaker 4 (40:53):
From Old Bay, we put a lot of money towards
the parking lot and towards advertising. Okay, So the lot
had a down payment which is not refundable.

Speaker 3 (41:03):
Okay.

Speaker 4 (41:04):
So at this point where it's a catch twenty two,
you know, we're like, we have to do it because
Old Bay has a contract with us and they want
to see Honk Fst go down, and we're not getting
the money back from the lot.

Speaker 3 (41:15):
Okay.

Speaker 4 (41:16):
At this point I even thought about.

Speaker 2 (41:19):
I actually think that you might have because technically wouldn't
they be breaking the contract with you if they took
your money?

Speaker 3 (41:29):
Your money men are now saying, sorry, did you sign things?

Speaker 4 (41:34):
So yeah, everything's been signed. This is a private lot,
private lot, so you know, regardless, like they're expecting it
to go down and they don't care if it does
or doesn't, Like you know, I've already paid.

Speaker 3 (41:45):
Then the authorities got winned and said this could spill
over and be an issue, and correct, that's what they're
worried about.

Speaker 2 (41:53):
Correct, Okay, I think we can figure out a way.

Speaker 3 (41:55):
I think I think I think honk Fest is going
to go down.

Speaker 2 (41:59):
You tell me, are you? Native Sandygan no, okay, I
am your almost no will I am technically? Are you
trying to figure out where it is? Well, we'll talk
about it after because I might have something for you.

Speaker 4 (42:10):
I think you could figure it out too. There's one
lot of all the research I've done, there's one place
that seemed like it was the best. And then we
got a call from a police officer. Actually, we got
a call from the chief of police.

Speaker 3 (42:23):
Okay that okay, Claire, Claire actually has no orificesn't, Claire?

Speaker 2 (42:29):
Do you want me to do? You want me to
put a mattress down there in case you fall over?
Whatever you do, Claire, don't throw up, Claire, throw up.
We're going to lose it. Listen, you could throw up.

Speaker 3 (42:44):
That'd be amazing the equipment, would that be awesome?

Speaker 4 (42:48):
L No, No, we don't want to lose money out.

Speaker 2 (42:50):
Of this point.

Speaker 3 (42:51):
No, all right, So we have non refundable all right,
we need.

Speaker 4 (42:55):
Non refundable Old Bay has. There's contractual obligations. That's most
that's the most difficult piece.

They want to see me promote this, which I do
gladly you're doing it now.

Speaker 2 (43:15):

Yeah, wait till I tell you where it is, because
it's a pretty like a special spot for that kind
of thing.

Speaker 3 (45:34):
There might not show up. In fact, I think she
won't show up, and I totally respect that because she
doesn't want to be a part of any of the drama.
I also don't like loud noises, so I think this
is just not the event for I think.

Speaker 2 (45:48):
This is it the event for Hannah.

Speaker 3 (45:50):
Maybe it's the event for my evil alter ego Hannah.

Speaker 2 (45:53):
I will reach out to that loves loud noises, that
loves noises and breaking rules.

Speaker 4 (45:58):
Ye, well, maybe there's a had opportunity to let Hannah free.

Speaker 2 (46:01):
And yeah, should let her freak flag fly?

Speaker 3 (46:05):
Yeah? Okay, So Rob, we are supportive of you.

Speaker 2 (46:11):
I love that.

Speaker 4 (46:14):
So I feel that from both of you, this is
the uplifting experience that I needed to turn my life around.

Speaker 3 (46:18):
You.

Speaker 2 (46:19):
How long have you been working on this? It's been
going on for a while.

Speaker 3 (46:24):
Like, are we talking a year? Two years? Three?

Speaker 4 (46:27):
It's probably been like what six months, of which a
lot of it is the original guy that was about
a year ago, a little over a year ago. I
will say that there was a lot of pre planning
before even just announcing the festival. So only for the
past like three months or so has it been an
actively promoted thing.

Speaker 3 (46:46):
And with Old Bay, they with advertising sneeze, Yeah, the
dog sneeze, that's Elvis Old Bay. As far as advertising,
what do they expect like this kind of thing?

Speaker 4 (46:56):
Yeah, Old Bay just wants us to be, you know,
rocking their merch with pride and then at any given time,
I would like to just mention Old Bay as it
being an incredible seasoning. It's very versatile and it's one
of the few seasonings that Old brand there. The thing
about Old Bay is it's not something that It's not

(47:18):
a salt substitute. It's a flavor enhancer, and everyone needs
to remember that this is something that you can use
in addition to salt.

Speaker 3 (47:26):
How did you How did you get them on board?

Speaker 2 (47:29):
So that's a there's so good.

Speaker 4 (47:32):
There's another tin that was fully empty, and I was like,
do I give them the empty one?

Speaker 3 (47:37):
What do you need that for?

Speaker 4 (47:39):
Like for other I do There's a lot of people
that I mean, depends if either of you are realistically
going to use it, because I would like it back okay.

Speaker 3 (47:47):
Cool, No, don't open it, let him have it.

Speaker 2 (47:49):
No, I can just smell it.

Speaker 4 (47:51):
I don't know what the term for that is, but
I will be requesting for the gift back.

Speaker 3 (47:56):
I know, we know.

Speaker 2 (47:57):
She just throws up amazing.

Speaker 3 (48:01):
Sorry, honk Fest is happening. Sign up and you'll get
the details. I want to see your dream come true.
I want to see Rob Cappaluto's name in the Guinness
Book of World Records. However you access that online. If you,
I would think you would want to buy the actual
hardcover bode.

Speaker 4 (48:19):
If I'm in the book, I would like a physical copy,
and I would even go as far to say I
will buy every person in that parking lot of physical copy.

Speaker 3 (48:28):
So you will buy thirteen hundred people.

Speaker 4 (48:30):
No, I probably buy it, might be a giveaway. I
might just buy five or something to it. I was
going to say, let's not thirteen hundred. If I run
the numbers, Old Day is not going to pay for that, And.

Speaker 2 (48:39):
Then you've got you got to remember half the people
will be like, I don't.

Speaker 3 (48:41):
Want this, and you know what Guinness also wants. They're
item promoted as well, so I want people to buy
the book.

Speaker 2 (48:49):
I'm also willing to bargain with you on something. Oh,
I'll return this, but I would like one of these
because I could rock the shit out of this thing.

Speaker 3 (48:57):
You're going to rock a bike bicyclist shirt.

Speaker 2 (49:02):
Have you seen my chest?

Speaker 4 (49:04):
Do you have a bike?

Speaker 3 (49:06):
No? Man does not, he's not an outdoors he kind
of like.

Speaker 4 (49:10):
Do you see it's custom?

Speaker 2 (49:12):
Yeah? This is amazing. Yeah, oh yeah, listen, well, sponsor's awesome.

Speaker 3 (49:18):
You know.

Speaker 2 (49:18):
Here's the only issue. This thing un zipped down to
about here.

Speaker 4 (49:23):
Yeah, it's pretty, it's pretty swaggy, as all the kids say.
The only issue is that I'm already uh, financially indebted
to Old Bay. And for me to say Eric now
wants a biker jersey.

Speaker 2 (49:35):
Don't get very I've asked them for too much. You
don't need you don't need to have a bike biker jersey.
I'll just write Old Bay on it.

Speaker 3 (49:42):
Why don't you just order an old shirt? Look it
up online and order a T shirt from old.

Speaker 4 (49:47):
I got an old based sticker for you. Have a
perfect Yeah, that's a fair compromise. Yeah, if you put
it on the shirt like it's basically a cycling jersey.

Speaker 3 (49:58):
You're coming. You're You're coming through with your obligations to
Old Bay. You have already paid for a parking permit
that is now non refundable, so it has to happen
at that location. Okay, it's happening at that location probably.

Speaker 2 (50:12):
I mean, we need.

Speaker 3 (50:13):
To ease the minds of the San Diego Police Department.

Speaker 4 (50:18):
Now, how do we do that?

Speaker 3 (50:19):
Well, is there going to be did you get permits
for alcohol sales or anything? Or is there going to
be food there.

Speaker 4 (50:26):
For alcohol sales? Driving?

Speaker 2 (50:29):
Focused to do that?

Speaker 3 (50:30):
Yeah, then we're not doing that.

Speaker 4 (50:34):
It's just an idea. We're brain saying.

Speaker 3 (50:36):
It's an idea. Just asked a question.

Speaker 4 (50:38):
Can you give everyone shots as soon as they come.

Speaker 3 (50:40):
Out so no alcohol is involved, which is good?

Speaker 2 (50:43):
Could you sleep with some of the police officers that
might get an in sure?

Speaker 4 (50:47):
I mean, again, it's just an idea.

Speaker 2 (50:49):
Yeah, she's already announced.

Speaker 4 (50:51):
You're talking to me.

Speaker 3 (50:53):
To ease the We just need to ease their minds
that this is not going to be an ad.

Speaker 2 (50:57):
Control option too.

Speaker 4 (50:58):
Is we putentually prostitute ourselves in exchange for a permitt?

Speaker 3 (51:03):
Don't let don't go down the rabbit hole with him.

Speaker 2 (51:05):
Don't go down the rabbit holes. These are all ideas,
These are great ideas.

Speaker 3 (51:09):
We need to stay focused on the issue or pads
for Christmas. So no, we're not taking this in it
and it's the sideways direction. We want to be up front.

Speaker 2 (51:24):
We're like, this is a news event.

Speaker 3 (51:26):
This is a news event. This could be like on
the news. You could get the low you could get
like local the local news behind you, like this man
is about to break a world record.

Speaker 2 (51:36):
Okay, now don't worry about it.

Speaker 4 (51:38):
Yeah, that thing we're just going to leave off.

Speaker 3 (51:39):
Okay, your things.

Speaker 4 (52:35):
After Claire launch a pole? We need a poll active

Speaker 4 (52:40):
No, I'm just kidding. Don't don't force it all right, No, no,
we don't want to do a poll.

Speaker 3 (52:47):
What we're going to do is what we're what we're
doing right now is promoting it. I don't know. Can
you read on TikTok? I can't see that far away?

been getting this whole time. Go ahead and see what
TikTok's saying?

Speaker 4 (53:04):
Is there a way to tell if I don't know?

Speaker 3 (53:06):
I you know, we're kind of new on TikTok, so
I kind of as far as stream.

Speaker 4 (53:11):
Yeah, Claire is the real MVP of the show.

Speaker 3 (53:13):
Tell us what you guys, what what should he do?

Speaker 4 (53:18):
Who is the guy in blue?

Speaker 2 (53:21):
Is that what your.

Speaker 3 (53:26):
Thoughts for you?

Speaker 4 (53:26):
Who is that? I? I like how I am attractive
to someone with a go pro hat and a pair
of headphones.

Speaker 3 (53:34):
Yeah, and you are like kind of out there right now.
You're a little different, which is probably attractive to them.

Speaker 4 (53:42):
But you know the thing is, and I'm going to
break the news. You y'all are different, Okay, Like how
so I don't I mean different from who in the
same way that I am? You know, we were cut
from the same cloth, as I agree with that, like
the you embody the same you both embody the same
kind of quirkiness.

Speaker 3 (54:03):
Agreed.

Speaker 4 (54:04):
You know, that's kind of why we are. That's why
you have a podcast, and that's why you know, I mean, look.

Speaker 3 (54:09):
Around, this is why we've been doing this for six
years because we are cut from a different clot. Claire
has many things that she's like an onion.

Speaker 2 (54:21):
Wait uh, somebody say something, oh high.

Speaker 3 (54:26):
At high firewife. Oh, Matt's just saying.

Speaker 2 (54:30):
Hi to fire high firewife. Firewife is so hot?

Speaker 4 (54:32):
And wait, who's Andrea firewife? What's her situation?

Speaker 3 (54:39):
She's married, so and she's a firefighter, so she she
would respect what the Sandiga Police Department is saying.

Speaker 4 (54:45):
Okay, do we need the firefighters on our team?

Speaker 3 (54:49):
Do you think he should go ahead with honk Fest
despite the warning he got from the Chief of Police
from the the Chief the cheap are you like, literally,
are you serious?

Speaker 2 (55:04):
The Chief of reached out.

Speaker 3 (55:05):
I can via femail via.

Speaker 4 (55:08):
There is a recorded phone conversation that I have.

Speaker 2 (55:10):
With thee of Police.

Speaker 3 (55:11):
Okay, so this is not this is serious. He means business.
He means business. And I think that the climate that
we're living in is one of the reasons why they're
being super cautious. And we've got it under ed. There's
gonna be no alcohol at this thing. It's just gonna

(55:33):
be fun, and there's gonna be like performers, musical performers.

Speaker 4 (55:36):
Musical performers, stand up poetry.

Speaker 3 (55:39):
Like slam poetry, something like that. Yeah, okay, like open
mic type stuff.

Speaker 2 (55:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (55:44):
Imagine doing poetry with the sound of thirteen hundred cars
blaring in the back.

Speaker 3 (55:48):
The fact of you being a part of a world
record that is a cool thing, and it's happening in
San Diego, so we've gotta.

Speaker 4 (55:57):
Be The other thing is that should be some San
Diego pride around it. And I think that's something that
the Chief of Police just forgot about, is that this
is a big moment for our.

Speaker 2 (56:06):
City and it's definitely a social media everybody's going to
want to put that on social media.

Speaker 3 (56:12):
Oh yes, for sure in there, Oh my gosh. So
this lot is big enough to hold that many vehicles, definitely,
and then so does the in your mind does the
Guinness World Record happen? First? And then we party after

(56:32):
or party meaning like eat whatever you bring in your
car and listen to slam poetry after the fact.

Speaker 4 (56:40):
So there's actually kind of an interesting way that we're
going to be triggering the the honk okay, and that
is that we have a what's called an ad hoc
station set up where people can tune in on their
radio to a station, and we're going to be announcing
it from like a Wi Fi or a like high
fi booth okay, where people are listening, and we're gonna

(57:02):
do a countdown from ten. The main rule is that
it has to be held for five seconds, okay, and
that everyone has to do it at the same time, okay.
And so we're gonna be on the air basically through
like a closed radio station, and then we're gonna countdown
kick it off, but there has to be everyone has
to be in the lot. Then we shut the gate
and so between the time of everyone getting in. There's

(57:27):
probably gonna be some people meandering around. But once the
record has been broken is when we're really gonna celebrate.

Speaker 3 (57:32):
Okay, now, what do you do You think this is
gonna happen on a weekend? Is it gonna happen at
night during It's.

Speaker 2 (57:38):
Going to be a daytime weekend?

Speaker 4 (57:40):
Uh? Fiasco?

Speaker 3 (57:42):
Not a fiasco, No, don't put that out in the universe.

Speaker 4 (57:45):
Yeah, I mean a fun fiasco.

Speaker 3 (57:47):
No, it's gonna be a fun, cool event.

Speaker 4 (57:50):
I just think the nature of people honking it's it's
the fiasco might be unavoidable.

Speaker 3 (57:56):
Well, it's gonna be loud. It's gonna be loud for
it's only gonna be disruptive for for how long do
we have to hold it?

Speaker 4 (58:02):
Five seconds? But I also have a theory that a
lot of people are just gonna be honking throughout the
whole thing.

Speaker 3 (58:09):
Maybe, or if you have mcs up there guiding people
to like, hey, knock it off until it's time un listen,
I'm really good at saying that.

Speaker 4 (58:20):
So, so y'all are going to be standing in front
of people just going knock it off.

Speaker 2 (58:25):
You're gonna stand in front thirteen I might say something
else okay, we'll be on the microphone.

Speaker 4 (58:30):
Is something you could disclose on this podcast.

Speaker 2 (58:34):
Just tell people to shut the fuck out. That's the
type of energy.

Speaker 3 (58:37):
We need, we need, we need.

Speaker 2 (58:38):
I'm a little bit more direct. Yeah, okay, I'm your man.
Don't worry so current.

Speaker 3 (58:42):
Okay, Claire, can you check out TikTok and see if
there's like anybody that has any advice because.

Speaker 4 (58:49):
This person read this, last read the last two.

Speaker 3 (58:53):
Oh, you know what, throw it out there. Be honest
with Rob.

Speaker 2 (59:01):
Hauntings.

Speaker 3 (59:03):
No, we're talking about honking honking honk Fest, not hont
Fest like honk honk And we're not on crack. No,
this is a real thing. He's got their Guinness people
on board.

Speaker 4 (59:19):
They sounds like they're on crack.

Speaker 1 (59:21):
No.

Speaker 2 (59:21):
They think maybe you should show more legs.

Speaker 3 (59:26):
My legs are his legs.

Speaker 4 (59:28):
I don't think my legs are gonna save this festival.

Speaker 3 (59:31):
I think I think you're attractive and then you have
nice legs, the guy, and.

Speaker 4 (59:35):
You should just turn this into a dating show at
this point.

Speaker 3 (59:38):
Okay, where are you from?

Speaker 4 (59:39):
Originally I was born in South Africa. What I was
born in South Africa and then I moved to Seattle.

Speaker 3 (59:45):
Oh Wow, how old are you when you moved to Seattle.

Speaker 4 (59:50):
Ten?

Speaker 3 (59:51):
Okay, so bust out an accent for us.

Speaker 2 (59:54):
A little bit.

Speaker 4 (59:55):
I need a topic of conversation.

Speaker 3 (59:57):
Let's talk about honk honk, all.

Speaker 4 (01:00:01):
Right, let me just kind of get in the zone airy, Okay.
So Honk Fest is actually a very unique experience and
it's something that not a lot of people have even
heard of. But it's going to be a world breaking record.
So once we have thirteen hundred cars in the parking lot,
we're going to trigger the honk and then everyone is

(01:00:23):
going to honk their horn and we're eventually going to
be in the Guinness Book of World Records.

Speaker 2 (01:00:28):
That's amazing.

Speaker 3 (01:00:29):
Okay, you literally just like.

Speaker 2 (01:00:35):
You elevated, That's all it takes.

Speaker 3 (01:00:39):
This too. That accent really made it sound like legitimate,
like this like even more legitimate than it is now.

Speaker 2 (01:00:47):
I also have a bit of a very interesting thing
about Laura. Laura does amazing Laura breaking. Can I request
an accent that you do?

Speaker 4 (01:00:59):
Laura? Okay, I want to hear your Chinese accent? Go ahead, Laura.

Speaker 3 (01:01:10):
Would you like to have chopsticks with that? Or would
you like to have white rice or brown rice or
do you think the world is in danger right now
of of eventual collapse or do you think we're on
the right path? What am I?

Speaker 2 (01:01:31):
It's like the lady on you are the weakest link.

Speaker 4 (01:01:35):
It was a little bit like that, but for the
most part, if my eyes were closed, I would have thought,
is there a Chinese lady next to me?

Speaker 2 (01:01:43):
I have the world of worse? That's why he did
this to be.

Speaker 4 (01:01:48):
I thought that was actually excellent.

Speaker 3 (01:01:49):
No, we need a clip that That's why I was
fascinated by.

better at it so hard?
