Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, it's Neil Savedra.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
You're listening to KFI EM six forty the four Report
on demand on the iHeartRadio app. You Neil Savadra, your
friendly neighborhood folk reporter here on a Saturday afternoon on
KFI with you for three hours, two to five, every
single Saturday, and we just celebrate food, the people that
make it, the culture behind it, of course beverages. During
(00:24):
the holidays, we switch things up starting in October where
we talk about food, but we also talk about decorating
your house or making Halloween props, or decorating for Christmas
or any of those things. And we introduce you to
interesting people as well, and oftentimes they collide with all
of those things and above, like our guest right now,
(00:44):
where you're talking about a multisensory experience.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
These are the things that I love.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Storytelling, mixology, a great cocktail, art, all of these things
coming together in one place. So we welcome to the program.
Michael Palazzo with the Obscure. Welcome to the program, Michael,
Thank you so much. It's my pleasure to have you today.
Tell us a little bit about uh, the experience, and
(01:11):
what the obscure is and and what what sets it apart.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
So we're at We're distillery in the Arts Arts district,
located in downtown Los Angeles. We're kind of tucked away,
hiding in plain sight. We offered a fully immersive cocktail
experience tasting experience. You get three three different tastes of
the three different spirits that we make cocktails to go
with it, as well as stories. We have three different seasons,
(01:40):
three different seasons of the three different shows which offer
three different spirits, three different cocktails, and three news or
sorry news stories to go along with it. The uh
I'm so sorry, there is there is there more?
Speaker 4 (01:56):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Yeah, is there is there?
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (01:58):
You know what high read us all together? What came
up with the idea, Michael.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Well, you know, there's, as with anything, a group of creatives, builders, bartenders,
artists kind of come together and they created a immersive
experience based off of the imagination that we have. Luckily,
we have all talented directors to literally build a place
(02:24):
from scratch by hand, and we welcome different guests to
coming and kind of let us take care of you
see a cocktails, some food, and some stories. Now, the
different experiences very based off of how much you know
(02:45):
about the industry. Now, there's a lot of people that
work in the industry that invited to spirit tastings. Usually
these are offered to bar directors like myself. They inquire
us to come in tac their spirits just to become
fans of their brand. And then they're best marketing because
(03:06):
you end up going back to your bars talking to
your guests about the new experience that you just had.
But you know who really love that type of experience,
literally anybody. So what we offer get the Obscures for
anyone to kind of come in learn a little bit
with you know everything or know nothing.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
You know what's cool is I'm going through the website Michael,
and I'm checking things out. My guest right now is
Michael Palazzo from The Obscure, And as I'm looking through
all this, I love the dress code. It says all
black attire welcomed. And so you're already from the moment
you welcome your guests, you're setting a story. And I
(03:45):
love the fact that you've said, as somebody who works
the bar program, you get invited to things all the
time to kind of woo you into enjoying their beverages
and learning about them. And that you're opening up this
to anybody to be able to go and experience, and
it's like a two hour experience from head to toe.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
Yeah, it's down an hour and a half two hours,
depending on if you're one of those that wants to
get in and get out or if you want to
hang out for some food and some extra cocktails. Everyone
has a different limit. We think three tastes and three
cocktails is enough for most people. But we're not trying
to tell people how to live their lives, so you know,
if you want to stay hang out, we recommend driving
(04:26):
safe and getting a public transportation or taking a ride
shares if you can, because of course three cocktails and
three cases a lot for some people. But to go
go back and what you're saying about all black dressco
the only reason before that is because it's a dark,
dark atmosphere. If everyone wears black, you kind of become
part of the atmosphere. So every person that comes and
(04:48):
joins us has a bit of a unique and individualized experience.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
I love that.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
I think that adds to it lets people set them
up to know that they're going to be experiencing something
different France. So walk us with your eyes through the location.
People get to the entrance, what do they see? What
are they experience without giving anything truly away, what are
some of the sites and things that they'll see?
Speaker 3 (05:15):
So actually, uh, people have probably drove past it numerous
times without realizing it. We're in a We're in a
black building off of Santa Fe and Palmetto in the
Arts district, Okay, And the idea is it's hiding in
the plain sight. So when you walk, when you drive
past it, you see this building that's a little bit eerie,
maybe a little bit looks like it's a little bit
barred up, and you wouldn't imagine what's inside right when
(05:39):
you walk in, it's there. When I said, when we
say immersive, you walk through a black curtain. It's pits
black and dark. When you pass the curtain, it's magical, whimsical, mysterious.
It speaks alone for once once you're inside. But on
the outside, we are a restaurant. There's a you'll see
(06:00):
the Rising Sun kitchen. You'll see a little window with
womitted limited information on what's inside. That's the whole point.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Yeah, I love that though, because you know, the pandemic
screwed a lot of us up I mean and no more, uh,
were hit as hard as the people in the UH
specifically in the hospitality industry and restaurants and the like.
(06:33):
And we come out of that and people are now
expecting or wanting at least not just great food and
great drink, but experiences as well. And this the Obscure
sounds like it's capturing all of those things and the
desire for people to be able to have an experience
in addition to the drink. So you're talking about a
(06:53):
you know, bar program and overseeing all of that. Uh,
you know, what's your background, what do you look in?
It can't just be all ambiance. You have to have
kick ass cocktails as well. Talk us through some of
the cocktails and the beverages that you're serving there as well.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Sure, So, as you said, we are a we are
absolutely a pandemic project. We started in March of twenty
twenty and we didn't open our doors until about three
years ago. Since we've opened our doors, we've become one
of the highest rated cocktail experience in the US, which
goes a show. If you are we praying on the
(07:32):
the clientele that doesn't come out to cocktail experience often
or do we get the best of the best, thestailers,
the craft cocktail nerds, the spooky nerds, all you will.
It spends on which show you come to. But honestly,
(07:52):
when you come to one show, it makes you curious
about what else can we do. But we try to
give people what they want. So if you knew nothing
about the industry or everything about the industry, the idea
is we will we will win you over. Right now,
we're in spooky season, which is our krem Milo Crem.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Sure we we.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
Prioritize the ambiance of mysterious and and and dark colors tones,
but well with in a in a sense, we do
various decorations at different times of the year, so we're
not always it's not like we're closed in October. We
are open year round, but people come for whatever occasion
(08:35):
at different times their year. People tend to dress up
for the occasion. We encourage people to dress up. The
idea is we want you to experience this place as
best as you can. We do various different cocktails. Right now,
we're in spooky season, so what we love to do.
We're a pun inclusive workplace. Hold hold that thought for
one second, Michael does that. I love that for one,
(08:56):
but for two, we're going to get some news. We
come back.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
We're going to talk about that unintended workplace and the
cocktails that you've got going for the spooky season when
we return. My guest is Michael Palazzo from The Obscure.
You can find out more. The website is experience dot
the Obscure dot com. Experience dot the Obscure dot com.
(09:19):
And this is a mystical distillery and cocktail adventure. It's
this hidden realm, they say on their website, of legendary spirits,
untold stories, and for unforgettable cocktails. So go nowhere. We'll
be back with more.
Speaker 5 (09:35):
You're listening to The Fork Report with Nil Savedra on
demand from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
KFI AM six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Everybody.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
It's the Forkport all things Food, beverage and beyond. I
am your friendly neighborhood fork Reporter Neil Saveadra.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
How do you do? It's the holiday time.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
As we slide into October, we start doing things a
little different around here. We'll talk about food and beverages,
but we also bring on interesting people that tie into
the holidays as well. This is a combination of all
the great things I love all in one place.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Right now.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Our guest is Michael Palazzo from The Obscure, and you're
talking about an experience that is unique in every way,
combining art, combining spirits, combining storytelling, all these things, and
we're just finishing.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Up our last couple of minutes with Michael.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Now, Michael, before we got some news, you were talking
about being a pun friendly location. You were going to
go over some of the cocktails that you have going
on right now during spooky season.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
Fields for us as easy we've been in the industry
for I mean, I've personally been the industry over a
decade making cocktails. Making cocktails that people like is always
the name of the game. But when that comes easy,
you know, it might get a little boring. People like
what they like, the order what they order, But to
entice them based off what the drink name is called,
that's where gets a little fun.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
You know.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
It's you know, convincing people to drink something that's outside
of their comfort zone is the challenge. So what we
like to do is make a nostalgic add some some
some taste of the taste of your own memories. But
the idea with spooky season and Halloween time makes it
really easy for us because we all feel festive enough
(11:25):
to watch our favorite Halloween movie or slasher. Sure, so, uh,
there's very there's different eras of where your favorite movie
might come from. Is that an old fashioned eighties nineties?
Is it a modern slasher? Is a modern Halloween movie?
So there's so much to work with. We uh, I'm
gonna give you a couple a couple of names to
(11:46):
uh that that we've been building off our menus, off
of things like red Ram, things like the Invisible Manhattan,
things like Cabernet in the Woods, Saws, Theak twenty eight
years later, Fernet the thirteenth, the Extra Citrus, Children of
the Corn, and Oil the Hills have Rise, American whiskey
(12:08):
in London. I can go on forever. The idea is,
if any of these are fun for you, imagine if
the cocktail also tastes good. I like going little little
themes and little things in there that might make you
a little intimidated. You know, all cocktails are exciting when
they sound fun. But what if there's a little bit
of evil inside of there, something intimidating, something that we
(12:30):
all had a bad experience when we were younger, but
all of a sudden tastes good. So things like Yaegermeister,
things that you wouldn't see in a craft cocktail. If
we could put Yager Mister as essentially as a sweeter amorrow,
then it's workable. I love that fun idea, getting people
(12:50):
exactly what they want, not in a way they would
expect it.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
It sounds like it's all the senses covered and taken
care of.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
The Obscure. I invite you to check it out.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Go to experience dot the Obscure dot com. Experience dot

(13:22):
a full experience at the Obscure Distillery, which you can

The Obscure, Thanks so much for taking the time, Michael.
Speaker 1 (13:33):

appreciate it.

We are actually in the middle of a show as
we're speaking right now, so thank you so much for

We talk about experiencing different things during the holidays. And
thanks for hanging us out, hanging out with us as
we go in like eyeballs deep into the holidays, starting
of course in October. Here I wanted to talk to
you about stuff that's going on more that ties into food,
but other things as well, like Boo at the Zoo.
(14:53):
You know, the La Zoo is beautiful and we've had
passes at the zoo for a long time.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
I've got an.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Eight year old going on nine years, and so spending
time at the zoo was always always a good time.
And when you go there at night and you see
decorations and things like that, it's pretty fantastic. So but
you've got October eighteenth and nineteenth, October twenty fifth and
(15:20):
twenty six, they have all kinds of things going on
at Booa the Zoo, at the La Zoo, trick or treating,
they got animal feedings, different you know, science type activities,
themed entertainment and admission is included.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
With the zoo tickets.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
So check them out for the La Zoo as well,
because they do all kinds of fun stuff there. The
La Zoo is pretty awesome. Also, you have the Heritage
Square Museum. This is a pretty amazing place. The Heritage
Square is like the ultimate place for you know, haunted
(15:55):
experiences and you're surrounded by this great architecture vibe. So
they do all kinds of stuff they have their you know,
Haunted Village. It's their third annual Booze, Bites and Frights
for Halloween that they've got going on there. Series begins
on October sixteenth. I know it seems like it's going
(16:17):
so fast already right now, but really things are going
to be kicking into high gear after this weekend as
far as Halloween is for some of these specialty items. Now,
the theme parks are all they're all you know, in
September already eyeballs deep in all this stuff. But as
far as some of these specialty one offs and the like,
(16:38):
they're going to be going on through starting this week.
So they've got this expanded partnership going on there. They've
got all kinds of screenings, immersive twenty one plus events
going over two weekends, so horror films, interactive experiences, spooky attractions.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
That they have there.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
For their street food Cinema connecting with the Heritage Square Museum,
and if you've never been to a street food cinema,
they do it right.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
They do an amazing job on all this stuff.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
You get to go in there, you see all these
Victorian mansions when it comes here. Food Trucks Signature cocktails.
They have adult trick or treating there, costume contests, DJs,
all these types of things, and it will kick off Thursday,
October sixteenth. They got a sneak preview hosted by Bloody
(17:31):
Disgusting all right, terror Fire too. Of course, this is
adult fun there as well, So Saturday, October eighteenth, they
got Searchlight Pictures offering free admission, compromary popcorn, double feature
of the menu, and the movie Ready or Not. The
first two hundred and fifty guests will also receive cheeseburgers
(17:53):
inspired by chef Slowiz from the menu, Slowick from the
I haven't seen the menu. I think I know what
it's about. I have just a small hint of what
it might be about. But you can find more about
that at Streetfoodcinema dot com. Streetfoodcinema dot com. Union Station
(18:16):
has some stuff going on near the end of the month.
You can join them. October twenty fifth, from eleven am
to five pm. They've got what they're calling a ghostly
good Time newly restored South Patio. It's a gorgeous building
to begin with, the history of it is pretty amazing
as well. But they're going to be transforming it for Halloween.
(18:37):
So they've got this village going on there. It's got
balloon artists, they've got face painting. You can get your scacature,

(18:59):
dressed to impress. There will be prizes and no tickets require,
but you can RSVP and learn more about it as well.
That's coming up at the Union Station here in Los Angeles.
I love that the city itself is kind of waking
up to all of this stuff.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
I mean it is.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
It's pretty terrific for being the Hollywood town that we
are and having all these wonderful artists and spooksters and
people that do this all year round, you know, for
film and television. I always felt like we didn't do
as much as I thought we should during holidays like Halloween.
Of course, West Hollywood has the Halloween Carnival. It's massive
(19:50):
and it returns on Halloween night. They've got music, DJs,
elaborate costumes. It's pretty insane. My wife and I used
to go before Max was born, and it is packed
walled wall humanity. The Los Angeles Haunted hay Ride is
here at Griffith Park.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
You know, it's funny.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Is well on my way home, depending on which way
I'm going home, if I'm on the five Freeway, just
as you pass it during this season, they have so
many fog machines that it comes up through the trees
and onto the five Freeway and like everything starts to
slow down a little bit because it gets a little nuts.
But Haunted hay Ride there at Griffith Park. It's in
(20:36):
the Old Zoo area, and if you've never been to
the Old Zoo Area outside of events like this, it's
a really cool place for a picnic and a hike
and just you know, hang out. But they've got a
tractor ride, they've got a Haunted village, a corn maze
or what I like to refer to as a maze maze.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
They've got scared.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Zones, and it runs on select nights through October thirty
first Haunted Little Tokyo and this is cool. Throughout the month.
Little Tokyo features a silent Hill takeover until October nineteenth.
Haunted tours. On October eighteenth, they have a block party
they've got scavenger hunts and stuff like that set for
(21:24):
October twenty fifth. I think I haven't been in a while,
but one of the best haunts in southern California is
Dark Harbor at the Queen Mary. And it's been some time,
but the Queen Mary always does wonderful, wonderful things, and
they're doing it now through November two. They've got mazes,
(21:44):
including the Voodoo. I think this is new this year, actually,
the Voodoo, the Queen's Curse Breakout maxim Maximum rather security,
and they've got a speakeasy there and interactive experiences, so
a lot of things going on there. We come back,
I'll give you a list of some stuff in Orange County.
(22:05):
So go nowhere.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
It's the Fork Report.
Speaker 5 (22:10):
You're listening to The Fork Report with Nil Savadra on
demand from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
The four Report, all Things Food, beverage and beyond. I
am your well fed host, Neil Savadra.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
How do you do?
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Thanks for hanging out today. Tiffany Hobbes coming up moments
from now. We'll chat to with her just a moment.
I want to remind you of a couple things. Please
join me on Instagram at Fork reporter at Fork Reporter.
That's all the food stuff for let me talk about
on the show, and funny memes and weird stuff whatever
I'm in the mood for. If you like art or
(22:44):
building or three D printing or I don't know, Star
Wars or Halloween or anything like that. I have a
new one that I started, savco Industries on Instagram. That's
SAA v COO Industry and that is like the stuff
that I do when I'm not on the air, so
you can enjoy that with me as well.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Tiffany Hobbes, how are you, my dear?
Speaker 6 (23:09):
I am well. Neil Savedra, how are you?
Speaker 1 (23:12):
I am quite well. Thank you.
Speaker 6 (23:14):
You are most welcome. It's good to talk to you.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
I ran into traffic too, so I totally understand what
you were coming from where you were coming from.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
Oh my gosh, today's been weird.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
It was like one of those things where I set
out to you know, I've got to leave right after
the show to go to Anaheim for our Zelman's dinner
dinner anyone else.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
So I'm like, I'm so.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
Adhd and I'm like I got to I have to
have everything in place. Knowing that I wasn't going to
be coming home and all this, so just making sure
I had everything with me, and I left and then
I'm on my way into the station and I don't
live that far right saying you're not going to make it,
and I'm like, oh my gosh, I got to make
a decision right now. And I just made a decision
(23:59):
to go home and do it from my home studio
and throw everybody into a table, which I hate doing.
You know, everybody's busting their hump to make sure the
show goes well, and I throw a wrench in it.
But yes, it was one of those weird days where
it just I couldn't I couldn't get out of my
own way.
Speaker 6 (24:16):
I think I understand AnyWho, no judgment.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
We were talking about things to do in the Southland
and I was curious, do you enjoy the frights and
sights that.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
Come with Halloween or are you big baby?
Speaker 6 (24:30):
I love it.
Speaker 4 (24:31):
I love a haunted house, planning to go to the
what is it, Haunted Harbor, haunted whatever it is, Queen
Mary Dark Harbor. Yeah, I'm so happy it's back. But
the scarier the better, but not immersive. I don't want
you to put me in anything. Yes, I do not
want you grabbing on me, and you know, but I
do enjoy a good fright. I love the Halloween season
(24:54):
and just fall, it's my favorite.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
Yeah, I don't want anybody touching me either.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
Yeah, and they do that. Yeah, Well, there are some
play they have to let you know, it has to
be one of those. There's different levels because there's also
a uh for people who really like horror.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
And I'm not a big horror guy. I mean, I
like horror movies.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
I like spooky, scary and I don't you know, and
I'm slasher films. I mean, I love special effects. So
really it takes a lot to offend my senses. But
one of those things is smells. And I hear that
some of these mazes they're starting to incorporate odors. Oh
no experience and to me, i'd rather you touch me
(25:41):
if we're gonna if we have to go depends on where. Well,
I'm just saying I don't want to be touched either,
but if I have, my senses has to be breached.
I don't want it to be the schnaws like that
just freaks me out too.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
And some of them are really dark.
Speaker 4 (25:57):
You know, speaking of really dark, Neil, if I may say,
way into one of the things we're talking about on
today's show for our Deeper Dive segment at six o'clock,
we're going to be investigating this place called Mcamee Manor.
It's a house that started in San Diego, a fully
immersive haunted experience, but they go to the extreme, so
(26:18):
much so that they were forced out of San Diego
relocated to Tennessee. And there's a wait list of thousands
of people long, and if you win, you get like
twenty thousand dollars.
Speaker 6 (26:31):
No one has ever won this evance.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
What do you have to do?
Speaker 4 (26:35):
You have to make it all the way to the end.
But they move the goalpost, so to speak. The owners
are able to do what they want to you with
their cast of characters. You sign a waiver and now
I'll get into the details. But the idea of an
end is very ambiguous because they can just stretch this
(26:56):
thing out and people are going so I have all
the details for that. It's it's it's insane. You can
watch videos of this thing on YouTube. There are documentaries
Mcamee Manner. When we talk about that.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
I've heard of it.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
I'll tell you you know, you know when when I'm out,
I'll tell you exactly when I was out. When you
were telling me about it, they had to move to Tennessee.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
Many you said that I mom out.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
All I hear is ban Jo's Oh that was squeal
like a pig.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
And I'm like, I'm out. Oh yeah, yeah, I'm not going.
Speaker 6 (27:33):
Nope, that's not my that's not my deal.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
But when you go to places with dubious laws to
begin with, I'm like, nope, they take you out of
a town.
Speaker 6 (27:43):
Nope, Like Tennessee is scary on its own.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
Without a man in the streets in Tennessee.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
I didn't get to get.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
To some of these things going on in Orange County,
but Tiffany, I do want. This is one that I
really loved. For those that are in the Anaheim area,
Downtown Disney host Halloween movie nights. Oh so they have
this big grass area and you can go on their
Instagram account and see what movies are playing. And then
they also have them on little kiosks and boards throughout
(28:13):
the downtown Disney.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
But it's cool.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
You go and they have you know, you can get
snacks or whatever, and you can watch movies right there.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Downtown Disney.
Speaker 4 (28:21):
I'd rather do that than do the Hollywood Forever Cemetery.
Speaker 6 (28:25):
Just the idea of being in a.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
Cemetery movies at the cemetery.
Speaker 4 (28:29):
It feels a little sacrilegious. I don't know, it feels
a little. It's quiet, it's peaceful, but.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
They don't care. They like the atmosphere.
Speaker 4 (28:39):
But if they don't like the movie, did anyone ask
them about what's doing shown?
Speaker 1 (28:44):
You lose rights? Wow, you use your rights.
Speaker 6 (28:47):
Of constitutional scholar over here, you lose your rights.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
I'm a theologian. You did.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
Be absent from the body is to be present from
the Lord. Yes, not sitting watching a movie with my
fat as. There's no, there's nothing in scripture that says that.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
Yes. But yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
Do you ever hear them going, oh gosh, movie Night
needs to move to Tennessee?
Speaker 4 (29:14):
Oh no, it's more of it's more of the who ah.
That's what I hear when I'm there. It's more of
that yead.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
They're not coming back, Well, they're not coming back.
Speaker 6 (29:25):
Well, you know, Neil, since you're kind of judged.
Speaker 4 (29:28):
You started off your show in a crotchety way, you're
ending your show in a crotchety way. It's get off
my lawn, get out my cemetery whatever.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
I'm a mess to day, get off my mode. Lawn
stone reminders of our loved ones. No, well I do that.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
I go. When I visit my dad, I go. I
know you're not here. I mean your body is.
Speaker 4 (29:51):
See time for you to go to dinner. Get some
food in you tell Bruno I said, hello, my day.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
Was already spiral out. You've been listening to The Fork Report.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
You can always hear us live on KFI AM six
forty two to five pm on Saturday, and anytime on
demand on the iHeartRadio app
Hey, it's Neil Savedra.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
You're listening to KFI EM six forty the four Report
on demand on the iHeartRadio app. You Neil Savadra, your
friendly neighborhood folk reporter here on a Saturday afternoon on
KFI with you for three hours, two to five, every
single Saturday, and we just celebrate food, the people that
make it, the culture behind it, of course beverages. During
(00:24):
the holidays, we switch things up starting in October where
we talk about food, but we also talk about decorating
your house or making Halloween props, or decorating for Christmas
or any of those things. And we introduce you to
interesting people as well, and oftentimes they collide with all
of those things and above, like our guest right now,
(00:44):
where you're talking about a multisensory experience.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
These are the things that I love.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Storytelling, mixology, a great cocktail, art, all of these things
coming together in one place. So we welcome to the program.
Michael Palazzo with the Obscure. Welcome to the program, Michael,
Thank you so much. It's my pleasure to have you today.
Tell us a little bit about uh, the experience, and
(01:11):
what the obscure is and and what what sets it apart.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
So we're at We're distillery in the Arts Arts district,
located in downtown Los Angeles. We're kind of tucked away,
hiding in plain sight. We offered a fully immersive cocktail
experience tasting experience. You get three three different tastes of
the three different spirits that we make cocktails to go
with it, as well as stories. We have three different seasons,
(01:40):
three different seasons of the three different shows which offer
three different spirits, three different cocktails, and three news or
sorry news stories to go along with it. The uh
I'm so sorry, there is there is there more?
Speaker 4 (01:56):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Yeah, is there is there?
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (01:58):
You know what high read us all together? What came
up with the idea, Michael.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Well, you know, there's, as with anything, a group of creatives, builders, bartenders,
artists kind of come together and they created a immersive
experience based off of the imagination that we have. Luckily,
we have all talented directors to literally build a place
(02:24):
from scratch by hand, and we welcome different guests to
coming and kind of let us take care of you
see a cocktails, some food, and some stories. Now, the
different experiences very based off of how much you know
(02:45):
about the industry. Now, there's a lot of people that
work in the industry that invited to spirit tastings. Usually
these are offered to bar directors like myself. They inquire
us to come in tac their spirits just to become
fans of their brand. And then they're best marketing because
(03:06):
you end up going back to your bars talking to
your guests about the new experience that you just had.
But you know who really love that type of experience,
literally anybody. So what we offer get the Obscures for
anyone to kind of come in learn a little bit
with you know everything or know nothing.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
You know what's cool is I'm going through the website Michael,
and I'm checking things out. My guest right now is
Michael Palazzo from The Obscure, And as I'm looking through
all this, I love the dress code. It says all
black attire welcomed. And so you're already from the moment
you welcome your guests, you're setting a story. And I
(03:45):
love the fact that you've said, as somebody who works
the bar program, you get invited to things all the
time to kind of woo you into enjoying their beverages
and learning about them. And that you're opening up this
to anybody to be able to go and experience, and
it's like a two hour experience from head to toe.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
Yeah, it's down an hour and a half two hours,
depending on if you're one of those that wants to
get in and get out or if you want to
hang out for some food and some extra cocktails. Everyone
has a different limit. We think three tastes and three
cocktails is enough for most people. But we're not trying
to tell people how to live their lives, so you know,
if you want to stay hang out, we recommend driving
(04:26):
safe and getting a public transportation or taking a ride
shares if you can, because of course three cocktails and
three cases a lot for some people. But to go
go back and what you're saying about all black dressco
the only reason before that is because it's a dark,
dark atmosphere. If everyone wears black, you kind of become
part of the atmosphere. So every person that comes and
(04:48):
joins us has a bit of a unique and individualized experience.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
I love that.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
I think that adds to it lets people set them
up to know that they're going to be experiencing something
different France. So walk us with your eyes through the location.
People get to the entrance, what do they see? What
are they experience without giving anything truly away, what are
some of the sites and things that they'll see?
Speaker 3 (05:15):
So actually, uh, people have probably drove past it numerous
times without realizing it. We're in a We're in a
black building off of Santa Fe and Palmetto in the
Arts district, Okay, And the idea is it's hiding in
the plain sight. So when you walk, when you drive
past it, you see this building that's a little bit eerie,
maybe a little bit looks like it's a little bit
barred up, and you wouldn't imagine what's inside right when
(05:39):
you walk in, it's there. When I said, when we
say immersive, you walk through a black curtain. It's pits
black and dark. When you pass the curtain, it's magical, whimsical, mysterious.
It speaks alone for once once you're inside. But on
the outside, we are a restaurant. There's a you'll see
(06:00):
the Rising Sun kitchen. You'll see a little window with
womitted limited information on what's inside. That's the whole point.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Yeah, I love that though, because you know, the pandemic
screwed a lot of us up I mean and no more, uh,
were hit as hard as the people in the UH
specifically in the hospitality industry and restaurants and the like.
(06:33):
And we come out of that and people are now
expecting or wanting at least not just great food and
great drink, but experiences as well. And this the Obscure
sounds like it's capturing all of those things and the
desire for people to be able to have an experience
in addition to the drink. So you're talking about a
(06:53):
you know, bar program and overseeing all of that. Uh,
you know, what's your background, what do you look in?
It can't just be all ambiance. You have to have
kick ass cocktails as well. Talk us through some of
the cocktails and the beverages that you're serving there as well.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Sure, So, as you said, we are a we are
absolutely a pandemic project. We started in March of twenty
twenty and we didn't open our doors until about three
years ago. Since we've opened our doors, we've become one
of the highest rated cocktail experience in the US, which
goes a show. If you are we praying on the
(07:32):
the clientele that doesn't come out to cocktail experience often
or do we get the best of the best, thestailers,
the craft cocktail nerds, the spooky nerds, all you will.
It spends on which show you come to. But honestly,
(07:52):
when you come to one show, it makes you curious
about what else can we do. But we try to
give people what they want. So if you knew nothing
about the industry or everything about the industry, the idea
is we will we will win you over. Right now,
we're in spooky season, which is our krem Milo Crem.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Sure we we.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
Prioritize the ambiance of mysterious and and and dark colors tones,
but well with in a in a sense, we do
various decorations at different times of the year, so we're
not always it's not like we're closed in October. We
are open year round, but people come for whatever occasion
(08:35):
at different times their year. People tend to dress up
for the occasion. We encourage people to dress up. The
idea is we want you to experience this place as
best as you can. We do various different cocktails. Right now,
we're in spooky season, so what we love to do.
We're a pun inclusive workplace. Hold hold that thought for
one second, Michael does that. I love that for one,
(08:56):
but for two, we're going to get some news. We
come back.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
We're going to talk about that unintended workplace and the
cocktails that you've got going for the spooky season when
we return. My guest is Michael Palazzo from The Obscure.
You can find out more. The website is experience dot
the Obscure dot com. Experience dot the Obscure dot com.
(09:19):
And this is a mystical distillery and cocktail adventure. It's
this hidden realm, they say on their website, of legendary spirits,
untold stories, and for unforgettable cocktails. So go nowhere. We'll
be back with more.
Speaker 5 (09:35):
You're listening to The Fork Report with Nil Savedra on
demand from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
KFI AM six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Everybody.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
It's the Forkport all things Food, beverage and beyond. I
am your friendly neighborhood fork Reporter Neil Saveadra.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
How do you do? It's the holiday time.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
As we slide into October, we start doing things a
little different around here. We'll talk about food and beverages,
but we also bring on interesting people that tie into
the holidays as well. This is a combination of all
the great things I love all in one place.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Right now.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Our guest is Michael Palazzo from The Obscure, and you're
talking about an experience that is unique in every way,
combining art, combining spirits, combining storytelling, all these things, and
we're just finishing.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Up our last couple of minutes with Michael.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Now, Michael, before we got some news, you were talking
about being a pun friendly location. You were going to
go over some of the cocktails that you have going
on right now during spooky season.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
Fields for us as easy we've been in the industry
for I mean, I've personally been the industry over a
decade making cocktails. Making cocktails that people like is always
the name of the game. But when that comes easy,
you know, it might get a little boring. People like
what they like, the order what they order, But to
entice them based off what the drink name is called,
that's where gets a little fun.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
You know.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
It's you know, convincing people to drink something that's outside
of their comfort zone is the challenge. So what we
like to do is make a nostalgic add some some
some taste of the taste of your own memories. But
the idea with spooky season and Halloween time makes it
really easy for us because we all feel festive enough
(11:25):
to watch our favorite Halloween movie or slasher. Sure, so, uh,
there's very there's different eras of where your favorite movie
might come from. Is that an old fashioned eighties nineties?
Is it a modern slasher? Is a modern Halloween movie?
So there's so much to work with. We uh, I'm
gonna give you a couple a couple of names to
(11:46):
uh that that we've been building off our menus, off
of things like red Ram, things like the Invisible Manhattan,
things like Cabernet in the Woods, Saws, Theak twenty eight
years later, Fernet the thirteenth, the Extra Citrus, Children of
the Corn, and Oil the Hills have Rise, American whiskey
(12:08):
in London. I can go on forever. The idea is,
if any of these are fun for you, imagine if
the cocktail also tastes good. I like going little little
themes and little things in there that might make you
a little intimidated. You know, all cocktails are exciting when
they sound fun. But what if there's a little bit
of evil inside of there, something intimidating, something that we
(12:30):
all had a bad experience when we were younger, but
all of a sudden tastes good. So things like Yaegermeister,
things that you wouldn't see in a craft cocktail. If
we could put Yager Mister as essentially as a sweeter amorrow,
then it's workable. I love that fun idea, getting people
(12:50):
exactly what they want, not in a way they would
expect it.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
It sounds like it's all the senses covered and taken
care of.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
The Obscure. I invite you to check it out.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Go to experience dot the Obscure dot com. Experience dot
the Obscure dot com. You need tickets so you can
find that there. You can also find out all the
rave reviews and what the press has been saying about it,
and find out more. But man, this is the perfect
time to get into something like this and enjoy yourself
(13:22):
a full experience at the Obscure Distillery, which you can
find on Instagram and Facebook. Michael Palazzo, our guest from
The Obscure, Thanks so much for taking the time, Michael.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
I know it's a busy time for you, but I
appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
We are actually in the middle of a show as
we're speaking right now, so thank you so much for
having me. It's been wonderful. Neil.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Oh, we'll be talking again soon. I can't wait.
Speaker 2 (13:44):

things during the holidays. We bring other people along as

You know, decorate their houses.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
We talk about experiencing different things during the holidays. And
thanks for hanging us out, hanging out with us as
we go in like eyeballs deep into the holidays, starting
of course in October. Here I wanted to talk to
you about stuff that's going on more that ties into food,
but other things as well, like Boo at the Zoo.
(14:53):
You know, the La Zoo is beautiful and we've had
passes at the zoo for a long time.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
I've got an.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Eight year old going on nine years, and so spending
time at the zoo was always always a good time.
And when you go there at night and you see
decorations and things like that, it's pretty fantastic. So but
you've got October eighteenth and nineteenth, October twenty fifth and
(15:20):
twenty six, they have all kinds of things going on
at Booa the Zoo, at the La Zoo, trick or treating,
they got animal feedings, different you know, science type activities,
themed entertainment and admission is included.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
With the zoo tickets.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
So check them out for the La Zoo as well,
because they do all kinds of fun stuff there. The
La Zoo is pretty awesome. Also, you have the Heritage
Square Museum. This is a pretty amazing place. The Heritage
Square is like the ultimate place for you know, haunted
(15:55):
experiences and you're surrounded by this great architecture vibe. So
they do all kinds of stuff they have their you know,
Haunted Village. It's their third annual Booze, Bites and Frights
for Halloween that they've got going on there. Series begins
on October sixteenth. I know it seems like it's going
(16:17):
so fast already right now, but really things are going
to be kicking into high gear after this weekend as
far as Halloween is for some of these specialty items. Now,
the theme parks are all they're all you know, in
September already eyeballs deep in all this stuff. But as
far as some of these specialty one offs and the like,
(16:38):
they're going to be going on through starting this week.
So they've got this expanded partnership going on there. They've
got all kinds of screenings, immersive twenty one plus events
going over two weekends, so horror films, interactive experiences, spooky attractions.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
That they have there.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
For their street food Cinema connecting with the Heritage Square Museum,
and if you've never been to a street food cinema,
they do it right.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
They do an amazing job on all this stuff.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
You get to go in there, you see all these
Victorian mansions when it comes here. Food Trucks Signature cocktails.
They have adult trick or treating there, costume contests, DJs,
all these types of things, and it will kick off Thursday,
October sixteenth. They got a sneak preview hosted by Bloody
(17:31):
Disgusting all right, terror Fire too. Of course, this is
adult fun there as well, So Saturday, October eighteenth, they
got Searchlight Pictures offering free admission, compromary popcorn, double feature
of the menu, and the movie Ready or Not. The
first two hundred and fifty guests will also receive cheeseburgers
(17:53):
inspired by chef Slowiz from the menu, Slowick from the
I haven't seen the menu. I think I know what
it's about. I have just a small hint of what
it might be about. But you can find more about
that at Streetfoodcinema dot com. Streetfoodcinema dot com. Union Station
(18:16):
has some stuff going on near the end of the month.
You can join them. October twenty fifth, from eleven am
to five pm. They've got what they're calling a ghostly
good Time newly restored South Patio. It's a gorgeous building
to begin with, the history of it is pretty amazing
as well. But they're going to be transforming it for Halloween.
(18:37):
So they've got this village going on there. It's got
balloon artists, they've got face painting. You can get your scacature,

(18:59):
dressed to impress. There will be prizes and no tickets require,
but you can RSVP and learn more about it as well.
That's coming up at the Union Station here in Los Angeles.
I love that the city itself is kind of waking
up to all of this stuff.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
I mean it is.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
It's pretty terrific for being the Hollywood town that we
are and having all these wonderful artists and spooksters and
people that do this all year round, you know, for
film and television. I always felt like we didn't do
as much as I thought we should during holidays like Halloween.
Of course, West Hollywood has the Halloween Carnival. It's massive
(19:50):
and it returns on Halloween night. They've got music, DJs,
elaborate costumes. It's pretty insane. My wife and I used
to go before Max was born, and it is packed
walled wall humanity. The Los Angeles Haunted hay Ride is
here at Griffith Park.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
You know, it's funny.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Is well on my way home, depending on which way
I'm going home, if I'm on the five Freeway, just
as you pass it during this season, they have so
many fog machines that it comes up through the trees
and onto the five Freeway and like everything starts to
slow down a little bit because it gets a little nuts.
But Haunted hay Ride there at Griffith Park. It's in
(20:36):
the Old Zoo area, and if you've never been to
the Old Zoo Area outside of events like this, it's
a really cool place for a picnic and a hike
and just you know, hang out. But they've got a
tractor ride, they've got a Haunted village, a corn maze
or what I like to refer to as a maze maze.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
They've got scared.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Zones, and it runs on select nights through October thirty
first Haunted Little Tokyo and this is cool. Throughout the month.
Little Tokyo features a silent Hill takeover until October nineteenth.
Haunted tours. On October eighteenth, they have a block party
they've got scavenger hunts and stuff like that set for
(21:24):
October twenty fifth. I think I haven't been in a while,
but one of the best haunts in southern California is
Dark Harbor at the Queen Mary. And it's been some time,
but the Queen Mary always does wonderful, wonderful things, and
they're doing it now through November two. They've got mazes,
(21:44):
including the Voodoo. I think this is new this year, actually,
the Voodoo, the Queen's Curse Breakout maxim Maximum rather security,
and they've got a speakeasy there and interactive experiences, so
a lot of things going on there. We come back,
I'll give you a list of some stuff in Orange County.
(22:05):
So go nowhere.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
It's the Fork Report.
Speaker 5 (22:10):
You're listening to The Fork Report with Nil Savadra on
demand from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
The four Report, all Things Food, beverage and beyond. I
am your well fed host, Neil Savadra.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
How do you do?
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Thanks for hanging out today. Tiffany Hobbes coming up moments
from now. We'll chat to with her just a moment.
I want to remind you of a couple things. Please

That's all the food stuff for let me talk about
on the show, and funny memes and weird stuff whatever
I'm in the mood for. If you like art or

Speaker 1 (23:07):
Tiffany Hobbes, how are you, my dear?
Speaker 6 (23:09):
I am well. Neil Savedra, how are you?
Speaker 1 (23:12):
I am quite well. Thank you.
Speaker 6 (23:14):
You are most welcome. It's good to talk to you.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
I ran into traffic too, so I totally understand what
you were coming from where you were coming from.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
Oh my gosh, today's been weird.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
It was like one of those things where I set
out to you know, I've got to leave right after
the show to go to Anaheim for our Zelman's dinner
dinner anyone else.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
So I'm like, I'm so.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
Adhd and I'm like I got to I have to
have everything in place. Knowing that I wasn't going to
be coming home and all this, so just making sure
I had everything with me, and I left and then
I'm on my way into the station and I don't
live that far right saying you're not going to make it,
and I'm like, oh my gosh, I got to make
a decision right now. And I just made a decision
(23:59):
to go home and do it from my home studio
and throw everybody into a table, which I hate doing.
You know, everybody's busting their hump to make sure the
show goes well, and I throw a wrench in it.
But yes, it was one of those weird days where
it just I couldn't I couldn't get out of my
own way.
Speaker 6 (24:16):
I think I understand AnyWho, no judgment.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
We were talking about things to do in the Southland
and I was curious, do you enjoy the frights and
sights that.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
Come with Halloween or are you big baby?
Speaker 6 (24:30):
I love it.
Speaker 4 (24:31):
I love a haunted house, planning to go to the
what is it, Haunted Harbor, haunted whatever it is, Queen
Mary Dark Harbor. Yeah, I'm so happy it's back. But
the scarier the better, but not immersive. I don't want
you to put me in anything. Yes, I do not
want you grabbing on me, and you know, but I
do enjoy a good fright. I love the Halloween season
(24:54):
and just fall, it's my favorite.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
Yeah, I don't want anybody touching me either.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
Yeah, and they do that. Yeah, Well, there are some
play they have to let you know, it has to
be one of those. There's different levels because there's also
a uh for people who really like horror.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
And I'm not a big horror guy. I mean, I
like horror movies.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
I like spooky, scary and I don't you know, and
I'm slasher films. I mean, I love special effects. So
really it takes a lot to offend my senses. But
one of those things is smells. And I hear that
some of these mazes they're starting to incorporate odors. Oh
no experience and to me, i'd rather you touch me
(25:41):
if we're gonna if we have to go depends on where. Well,
I'm just saying I don't want to be touched either,
but if I have, my senses has to be breached.
I don't want it to be the schnaws like that
just freaks me out too.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
And some of them are really dark.
Speaker 4 (25:57):
You know, speaking of really dark, Neil, if I may say,
way into one of the things we're talking about on
today's show for our Deeper Dive segment at six o'clock,
we're going to be investigating this place called Mcamee Manor.
It's a house that started in San Diego, a fully
immersive haunted experience, but they go to the extreme, so
(26:18):
much so that they were forced out of San Diego
relocated to Tennessee. And there's a wait list of thousands
of people long, and if you win, you get like
twenty thousand dollars.
Speaker 6 (26:31):
No one has ever won this evance.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
What do you have to do?
Speaker 4 (26:35):
You have to make it all the way to the end.
But they move the goalpost, so to speak. The owners
are able to do what they want to you with
their cast of characters. You sign a waiver and now
I'll get into the details. But the idea of an
end is very ambiguous because they can just stretch this
(26:56):
thing out and people are going so I have all
the details for that. It's it's it's insane. You can
watch videos of this thing on YouTube. There are documentaries
Mcamee Manner. When we talk about that.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
I've heard of it.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
I'll tell you you know, you know when when I'm out,
I'll tell you exactly when I was out. When you
were telling me about it, they had to move to Tennessee.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
Many you said that I mom out.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
All I hear is ban Jo's Oh that was squeal
like a pig.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
And I'm like, I'm out. Oh yeah, yeah, I'm not going.
Speaker 6 (27:33):
Nope, that's not my that's not my deal.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
But when you go to places with dubious laws to
begin with, I'm like, nope, they take you out of
a town.
Speaker 6 (27:43):
Nope, Like Tennessee is scary on its own.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
Without a man in the streets in Tennessee.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
I didn't get to get.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
To some of these things going on in Orange County,
but Tiffany, I do want. This is one that I
really loved. For those that are in the Anaheim area,
Downtown Disney host Halloween movie nights. Oh so they have
this big grass area and you can go on their
Instagram account and see what movies are playing. And then
they also have them on little kiosks and boards throughout
(28:13):
the downtown Disney.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
But it's cool.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
You go and they have you know, you can get
snacks or whatever, and you can watch movies right there.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Downtown Disney.
Speaker 4 (28:21):
I'd rather do that than do the Hollywood Forever Cemetery.
Speaker 6 (28:25):
Just the idea of being in a.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
Cemetery movies at the cemetery.
Speaker 4 (28:29):
It feels a little sacrilegious. I don't know, it feels
a little. It's quiet, it's peaceful, but.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
They don't care. They like the atmosphere.
Speaker 4 (28:39):
But if they don't like the movie, did anyone ask
them about what's doing shown?
Speaker 1 (28:44):
You lose rights? Wow, you use your rights.
Speaker 6 (28:47):
Of constitutional scholar over here, you lose your rights.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
I'm a theologian. You did.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
Be absent from the body is to be present from
the Lord. Yes, not sitting watching a movie with my
fat as. There's no, there's nothing in scripture that says that.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
Yes. But yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
Do you ever hear them going, oh gosh, movie Night
needs to move to Tennessee?
Speaker 4 (29:14):
Oh no, it's more of it's more of the who ah.
That's what I hear when I'm there. It's more of
that yead.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
They're not coming back, Well, they're not coming back.
Speaker 6 (29:25):
Well, you know, Neil, since you're kind of judged.
Speaker 4 (29:28):
You started off your show in a crotchety way, you're
ending your show in a crotchety way. It's get off
my lawn, get out my cemetery whatever.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
I'm a mess to day, get off my mode. Lawn
stone reminders of our loved ones. No, well I do that.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
I go. When I visit my dad, I go. I
know you're not here. I mean your body is.
Speaker 4 (29:51):
See time for you to go to dinner. Get some
food in you tell Bruno I said, hello, my day.
