it happen. One pup down here, one pup upstairs. We
are less than a month away from our next excursion,

release for my bride from the rigors of her work,

next year and things like that. We saw an excellent
concert which was quite a bit different than we probably
anticipated last week. I, in relation to that particular vacation
next month, have bought myself a little Christmas present. I

Look forward to working with you. Welcome back.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
And we are busy people, and that doesn't excuse what
happened to me the other day where I lost my phone.
We'll talk about that in a minute or two. But
first of all, holiday time has coincided with extra busy
venice communications time for you.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
Yes, we're on a roll at the moment. Everybody's doing
up events. I've got just amazing meetings with counties and
cities and you know all these city council well just
lots of lots of projects.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Good A mover and a shaker, is she? It is
the holiday season? Not quite We ordinarily wouldn't probably start to,
you know, put up the dog Christmas lights we have
and the wreath and et cetera. But we do, courtesy
of Eastern Roofing and their fine team, have Christmas lights
(05:31):
up on our house for the first time. We've gone
something very basic and simple, and the neighbors seem to
like it, including our best neighbors right across the street
and we're still thinking about maybe little additions to it.
But it's basic, simple and lovely. Yes, yes, it's wonderful,
Thank you Eastern Roofing. It's it really is an added
(05:53):
pleasure to see those up. We'll be putting our Christmas
tree up soon with the with the lit dog show outside,
so we'll see how it balances things out well. And yes,
you can get in touch with Eastern Roofing for all
your holiday lights needs. And actually there's a commercial during
the course of this podcast for the holiday lights too,
so you can hear that and get involved with Eastern
(06:15):
Roofing and another of their fine things that they do
besides roofing and siding, which is there beautifully installed holiday lights. Well,
I mentioned my phone calamity, and let's get to this
before we talk about more fun things like going on vacations.
But so we went to dinner, lovely lunch to Barley's
(06:37):
at one hundred and nineteenth Street. Jane was out doing
some shopping. I just finished college game day. She was
off to look at some shoes and things like that,
and so we were separate as we often are, and
driving separate cars. So I was a little behind Jane
and I go out to my car, and I heard
my phone buzz and I reached into my man bag,
(06:59):
pulled it out and hit myself on the hip with it,
dropped it and watched in horror as I was parked
next to a storm drain. There's a little steep slope
heading into the storm drain, and there she went down
into the storm drain, which is only about five feet deep,
and it hadn't rained, so it wasn't wet. I know
(07:22):
the phone's in there, but I can't go in there.
There's an extremely heavy manhole. I tried with a couple
of tools to maneuver it, but couldn't do so. It's
a Saturday, so that's bad enough. Went in to see
if anybody could help me. The property management office is
actually there for the little area of Talk of the
(07:42):
Town and Barley's, but they was closed, of course on Saturday.
So I left a message for them and just basically said, well,
if it looks like I'm just going to have to
get a new phone. Even if I eventually get the
phone back, I can't I can't do my business, I
can't do anything. We're just slaves to our phone now.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
So the men who are sitting here, going why didn't
you just take a crowbar and get it out yourself.
That would have been a feed. I understand it was
pretty darn heavy. And then we'll go ahead and tell
the rest of the story.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
So anyway, I had to wait till Monday, and I
called the city of Overland Park and they were very nice.
In fact, the dispatcher lady on Sunday was nice and
tried to get somebody out on Sunday. That was not possible,
so they came out at Monday. I met them in
the afternoon. I had actually gone and bought a phone
on new phone, basically the same phone, but an updated
version of it. And now it became even more important
(08:40):
to get the phone because I didn't get all my
data transferred over. So anyway, the man comes and two
of them each have a crow bar and eventually get
the man hole out. And guy hops down in there,
and he's kicking around in the leaves and rubbing around
with his gloves and everything. He says, dude, there is
no phone in here. And I'm like, I don't understand this.
(09:01):
The phone has to be in there, There's no way
it can be any place else. I said, you mind
if I go down there. He says, well, it's a
private drain. If it was ours, i'd probably tell you
not to. So I go down there, and I shimmied
around with my hands and looked down the little tunnel
there and no phone to be found. Actually, the side
(09:21):
damage done was just a little cut on my finger
and I lost my pinky ring.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
By the way.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
Oh, let you know, Danny, I.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Didn't know until basically late yesterday. I didn't notice. So
there's no phone, and I'm just already planning on having
to like email every person I know and tell them
to give me their file. It's just going to be
a complete pain in the next So I went into Barley's.
Maybe I had seen it wrong and somehow it didn't
go down the drain. No phone there, no phone at
(09:49):
talk of the town. Finally, go to the property management
building where I had I had left a message for
that place, and I walk in there. The late very
nice lady says to me, how are you doing today?
And I said terrible.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
She goes, oh, you're the guy who had this.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Phone, and they the property management company had gone into
the into the storm drain earlier in the day tried
to call Jane, but didn't get through to her, and
so they have the phone. So now I have two phones.
You can't have two phones, by the way, I didn't.
I'm sure people knew this, But you can't have like
(10:28):
a backup phone. It did, it can't be operating. Actually,
now it's good because it's the power source for my
recording equipment and I don't have the proper adapter for
my other phone. Anyway, all's well, that ends well. But indeed,
now I have my own version of the epic. John,
your phone's.
Speaker 4 (10:46):
In the water, phones in the water, the phones in
the storm drain.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
Phones in the form, Oh you told them, I did.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
I emailed them there, and they're in Maui by the way,
our friends John and Mary Ellen.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
They're nicely retired folks.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
And when we went to Martha's vineyard, as chronicled on
this podcast, she dropped his phone into the water and
it's slid slowly. It was very reminiscent because I did
the same thing. It dropped and slid before I could
kick it or whatever, and down she went. But the
(11:22):
real great part of the Property Management Group having it
is the fact that I just would have gone for
probably the rest of my life not being able to
figure out where the hell the phone could have been.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
Yeah, because it had to be there, it had to Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
So anyway, that was it was a weight off my mind. Well,
it's not a weight on our mind ever to go
on vacation. And we are less than a month away
from our next excursion, which will be to Savannah, Savannah
and Hilton Head three days in Savannah and then Hilton
Head for Christmas. As I said, I bought myself a
(11:58):
wet suit. I went online.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
You know, if the thing costs three.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Hundred dollars, I wasn't going to buy a wetsuit. I've
gone in ice cold water. I did it in California
a couple of years ago. While everybody was shivering on
the beach, I was cavorting in the ice cold water.
But I did discover that that water was so cold
that even after I took a hot shower, I was
still cold.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
So I said, hey, let's see if what a wetsuit
goes for.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
And he didn't get sick. So six, my cousin was
in shocks Sea Bucks.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Is the is the only price for a fine wetsuit?
I look so sexy, it looks like a Martian.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
It's blue and black. It looks it's kind of nice.
Speaker 4 (12:36):
Yes, it's nice.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
Actually, I think I've thought about the fact that I
can actually wear that wetsuit, like to ride a bicycle.
Speaker 5 (12:42):
In cold weather.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
Oh okay, yeah, you know, with a sweatshirt.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
On there you Yeah, that's not a bad idea.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
So anyway, that's just part of what our vacation may be. Hiking, biking.
We've talked about going cycling when we're at Hilton Head,
but that is the next one. But then the one
after that is of course next July, actually leaving on
the fourth of July during the World Cup here.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
In Kansas City.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Don't tell anyone for Europe, and you have been exploring
the possibility of doing something we didn't do on our
previous European trip, which is to use some assistance, maybe.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
A tour guide.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
Well, we want to do our own thing, and so
I have a dear friend who's been to Venice a
zillion times, we were there before, and so we might
partake of his services. And then I have highly recommended
to at least spend part of the time with a
guide in Florence. But that's not even our going to Croatia.
(13:41):
This is kind of an epic trip, but it's going
to be fun on a boat to Croatia. Then we
end up in Venice and finally get to go to Florence,
which I've actually never been, which is insane because I'm
a big architecture and art person.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
So well, wait, I'm getting a nice preview of it
because my good friend Andy, who often we'll head out
and share some craft beers with, he and his wife
are in Europe right now and have taken a similar
cruise to what we're taking, and they've spent some time
in Italy, and I've seen great pictures and everything. It's
just wet my appetite for what will come, so really
(14:17):
really looking forward to that. We're deciding in Florence between
a two hour and a four hour tour guide. I
don't know, four sounds a little long, but we'll see.
We haven't made our mind up about that these.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
Are first world these first world problems. Oh yes, to
say the least.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
But I was going to say, we really you know,
We've got the Christmas lights and I've got my wet
suit and everything. We really haven't experienced real cold weather yet. No,
it's lovely, so which is nice, but it also I
almost want it to be cold and crappy when we go.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
To I'm in here.
Speaker 4 (14:52):
Oh I know, I know, get away from.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
The bad weather. But we'll see if that happens. That's
a I said, we'll.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
Probably have some unseasonable hurricane.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Well, you know what, if there's a hurricane off the coast,
I'm for that because that means that I'll get better waves.
Speaker 4 (15:12):
There you go, Danny, I may end up with no husband.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
I want to take landfall. I just wanted to kick
up the waves a bit.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Well, kicking up the jams was the story last Wednesday
for us. We went and saw the smooth jazz artist
Brian Culvertson. He's a piano player, and Jane knows him
from a Watercolors Serious Channel and the Jazz channel, and
he is a smooth jazz artist by definition, I guess.
(15:41):
So we thought we were going to see man play
the piano. I had done some research, so I kind
of knew what was up. Well, we go there and
Brian Culverson, who was in his early fifties, has spikey
blonde Hair's a cool guy and he comes out there
with a twelve piece bandy.
Speaker 4 (15:59):
Funky, cool cat stuff. It was like a dance party.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
It was it was like I turned to you after
a couple of numbers, I said, this like see an
earth wind and fight exactly. And there was this a
singer who was saying a little bit, but he was
really just a backup singer.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
And the saxophone player was great.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
But another great aspect of it was the fact that
we get to the Uptown so we still are thinking, Okay,
we're going to see this white guy, smooth jazz piano player,
and we're in line at the Uptown and like we're
the minority exactly.
Speaker 4 (16:30):
It was, right, this is interesting, I said, we're going.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
To get There's so many here American people, many of
them a little older, all of them dressed to the nines.
I said to one guy, said, I am not used
to being out dressed at a concert.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
And it's like everybody here is the look fantastic.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Yeah they look fantastic, glittery dresses and just a fabulous show.
But I know, god, much different than you thought you
were going to.
Speaker 4 (16:54):
Say, so good because I'm used to his ballad type stuff.
In fact, I was listening it again because he had
his ballads stuff on from his new album was on
Watercolors again to go. I know about this guy now,
you know he you know, he's made a killing because
he's you know, making it onto all of those jazz
stations doing his calmer stuff, and then people love him
like he's he's doing a big blowout in New York
(17:15):
for New Year's Eve. I mean, because he's just he's
a party band. I mean he is a showman, which
I didn't realize how much of a showman he was,
because he does things they're so calm and lovely and
warm and and kind of zen and then uh, but.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
Then when he gets back to playing the piano, it's
still lovely. But most of the numbers were up tempo.
And he also has a little you know, he is
a showman, and he's up front with a stand he
stands up the whole time, stand up piano, and he's
got this little he turns to the audience with this
little grin all the time, you know, a little snappy grin. Yeah,
like well we're are we ready to do some more?
Speaker 3 (17:52):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (17:52):
Well, what I love about anybody who grew up where
I did, I had are a band leader from Newton
Camp wrote jazz charts for Clark, Terry Maynard, Ferguson, Buddy Guy.
I mean I met all these people when I was
in high school because we went to all these jazz
concerts with the great great wind you know, brass section, trumpets, saxophones,
(18:15):
that's what was going on. It's like, this is a
mixed bag of funky jazz but also great, big band
sounding jazz and a great bass player.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
Oh my god, Ryan Culbertson.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
I would highly recommend anytime you have a chance to
go see him this tour. I think this is a
little unusual. I think he travels usually with a four
piece band or something like that. These are very accomplished artists,
many of whom have recording contracts of their own, and
I think you just wanted to make this one a
special one. He's clearly friends with all these guys. He
was the own No, there were two white guys up
(18:47):
to her.
Speaker 4 (18:48):
Yeah, I know, I know, and they're all success stories
in their own right, every single musician on that stage.
Brian's also a kick ass trombone player.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Oh right, So he did play the crombone, and there'd
be there was almost like a you know, marching band
type of set up a couple of times, and he's
playing the trombone brilliantly. I think he was as good
a trombone player as he is a piano player.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
So that was really, really fun.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
I think that might have rounded out our concertsne not smile.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
Maybe we'll see something on our vacation, but we've had
quite a good concert season. Yeah, And the only thing
we've missed, of course, is the Mavericks. And as the
holidays are there, if you have thoughts or if you're
a prayer for Personroll Malo is not doing well. We
mentioned this on every podcast. Hopefully we will see the
Mavericks once again sometime, but we don't know. That's kind
(19:39):
of dubious right now. Well, Jane's in charge oftentimes on
this podcast of the entertainments that I don't see, many
of those that she has consumed, and we'll talk about
a few of those and a little bit more coming
up next. It's Reconcilable Differences with Danny and Jane as
part of Arts and Lifestyle Wednesday presented by Strategic part Inc.

Speaker 3 (21:34):
Customized there to help stay weavens and there great friends.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
What are some of the things that you can do
is maybe the first thing we're going to do is
we're going to look at the choosiest golden.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
Losing you can mind ideal we have sent like a
golden girls cars. Get our house which top private?
Speaker 4 (21:51):
You want to keep it in good shame?
Speaker 3 (21:52):
I always like the body of yours. It is worth all.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
We get advanced family CHIROPRAGMAE eight locations all around it
and you city area.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
You can find one.
Speaker 4 (22:02):
That was just kind of felt and it wasn't done
by long ago, and it was really really really fun
because I don't realize how they're part of the vernacular now.
I mean, everybody knows. Everybody seems to love them. They're
all gone now, which is so sad for me to me,
But I mean it was a sort of a fluke.
If you watched the beginning of it, they didn't know
(22:23):
what they had, and then they it kind of was
an immediate success, and they got more. They dealt with
more controversial issues as they were going through it. But
the most interesting thing was to see some of the
the Betty White and what's her name, Arthur b Arthur Uh.
There was some friction there, but that's because Betty knew
(22:44):
how to work a live audience and if they'd make
a flub, she knew how to keep it going and
have fun with the audience and be with so professional
stage lady. She didn't want her to do that, so
there were some moments that they showed which were funny.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
I don't think she's the only person who's had difficulty
with brth No.
Speaker 4 (22:59):
Exactly exactly, but I mean it was interesting to see.
I mean, it was fun to see the outtakes of
when Betty White would just keep the audience going. I mean,
she was everybody, sweetheart. She knew what she was doing.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
And eventually late in her career, she did a series
with Valerie Burtonelli and Valerie Burtnelly is the narrator of
this particular piece. And I guess that's the connection for that.
Speaker 4 (23:23):
Well, she did mod earlier, right, it was before.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
Right, So anyway, that's it's called The Golden Girls Ageless,
and it is. I think it was done just a
couple of years ago. And I know you watched that
Netflix maybe and recently and this just came out in August.
Is the newest of many Rolling Stones documentaries. It's a
four part documentary, each one focusing on one of the
(23:48):
Rolling Stones. And of course there's only three of the
four who are still living. And and you watched have.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
You watched all of them?
Speaker 4 (23:58):
I watched all of them.
Speaker 3 (23:58):
She's watched all of them.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Saw the end of the Mick Jagger, I saw some
of the Keith Richard, and.
Speaker 4 (24:05):
I saw a little bit of Charlie Watts and.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
I think, yeah, I saw some of Charlie Watts.
Speaker 4 (24:08):
Wow, what good? It was really good because like Mick
was like, I don't know if you can do anything
that hasn't been done at give it a go, and
they did. It was really really personal. It was more
personal about their inner relationship and how they actually stuck
this out and we're able to keep it going. Ron
White being the intermediary of Charlie being this odd person
(24:29):
out but being a major balancing act for the group,
you know, the drug issues, but their love for each
other and to keep this going as long as they have,
that's kind of an amazing thing. I mean, And the
way they got started and how Keith Richards is still
standing isn't even more of an amazement. But he's wonderful
throughout the whole thing.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
Yeah, he's always interesting to listen to.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
And one thing I found out through the years watching
these documentaries about various bands and musicians and reading a
lot and doing music podcast which I'll alternates with this
podcast on Wednesdays and doing lots of research in that is,
no matter how crazy and you know wild you think
these people are, and often they are there if they're
(25:12):
this good, they're serious about music, no matter what serious
craziness they're going through. You know, serious cats, right, very
serious about their music.
Speaker 4 (25:22):
So Rolling Stones, you know what's interesting is they all
the all the guitarists who wanted to take you know what,
Ron would got Ron was the obvious choice because they
already were working with him and his amazing house that
he had. That's a fascinating story and it stuff like
Wadi Waddy Walkdell wanted right that opportunity to play with them.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Everybody did, speaking of Watty and I wasn't even going
to bring this up, but thankfully you did. And this
the whole thing is available now in Disney Plus. But
the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony was
a last weekend or a weekend or two weekends ago,
and one of the pieces we've seen from that is
the piece by the Killers doing lawyers, guns and money.
(26:05):
Why arn Zevon, who was inducted by David Letterman and
Wadi watl who played on all of Warren's albums, is
on stage for with the Killers for this what a fantastic.
Speaker 4 (26:16):
Fantastic All I want to say is why the hell?
And I agree with what's his face from Styx? Why
are they waiting till people are almost dead or dead
to put them in the Hall of Fame. I don't
get that. And that's been going on forever and I
agree with the stick sky.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
Well that might be the only sensible thing. Dennis de
Young ever said.
Speaker 4 (26:37):
Well, who on that? I know, I know, but I'm
saying right, it's.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
Like anyway, and one more documentary, you know this one.
I don't know if did you finish the Carpenter's documentary? Yes,
you know, you watch that one too, boy, you you
I watch a lot of sports upstairs, and I don't
know what's going on downstairs except what are you watch?
I'm watching this great carpet And that's the same story.
She's a talented musician who's probably very underrated. Carpenters I
(27:05):
think are underrated. I mean, there were stuff is schmaalty.
Speaker 4 (27:09):
But she has a fabulous voice. I mean, and that's
really what everyone was struck by in the end with
their fame. But they were in the middle of you know,
that weird genre where all this rock stuff was coming
out and they just stayed the stream. It was interesting
because Pat Boone's daughter, who suffered from anorexia early on,
(27:31):
also what was a major spokesperson about all this and
she got help, she goes it was so under the radar.
It was going on majorly, but nobody knew how to
help people. And it's like how people could not see
that she was just a skeleton standing there on stage
and not help her. But I think, you know, when
you've got that kind of fame and you kind of
(27:53):
own your world, it's hard. It's hard. She was sort
of insulated from her own death well.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
And I think a lot of times people who are
around famous people generally are sort of sycophantic. A lot
of times don't want to say, you know, what you're
doing is wrong or whatever it's you know, they're hired generally,
but generally their jobs, so they don't want to get
fired by actually being a responsible person in that regard.
I think it's worth just it isn't the movie because
(28:20):
we've talked about the remake series, and I think we
may have actually touched on the regular movie before. But
we watched The Day of the Jackal again recently and
I brought it up again because, first of all, it
was a great movie and it was the third to
last movie that the director Fred Zinneman directed. He won
(28:42):
and I don't think when people talk about the you know,
the great directors of all time and William Wyler and
all these other people that Fred Zinneman's name comes up
as much as it should. He won four Academy Awards.
He really was somebody who fought through a lot of
difficult times. His parents were killed in the Holocaust, and
(29:04):
he made thoughtful films classics High Noon, from Here to Eternity,
often talking about the horrors of war and post war
type of things. And High Noon is really about that,
even though it's a Western. But this was his third
to last movie. He was quite an older man at
this point in time. But he's a fabulous director, and
(29:24):
I just think visiting his films, but because he could
do anything from you know, like high Noon, Day of
the Jackal, and he also directed Oklahoma.
Speaker 4 (29:34):
Day of the Jackal. I have loved that since the
first time I saw it in the seventies, and if
I don't watch it once a year, just once, I'm
surprised because every time I watch it, it's like I
go back, going, what a fabulous the editing Edward Fox,
Oh my god. They were also sexy, and they knew it,
you know. He had that edge of like I'm I'm cool.
(29:55):
You know, he really thought he was cool, and that's
why I think that worked really well. And then this
screwy amazing detective, French detective. It's just it's all over
these beautiful streets in the seventies in France, you know,
and others, you know in Spain, it's fancy cars, fancy
amazing cars and lovely, just a lot of edginess and
the new you know, with a new one with Eddie
(30:17):
Redmain does a really good job. But Eddie's too nice
in a way. He doesn't quite come across with that
edge that the Fox Boys do.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
And his films, fred Zinneman's received sixty five Oscar nominations,
winning twenty four and he won four. From Here to
Eternity Man for All Seasons, a couple others, and Dave
the Jackal was not one of those, but directed fantastic
actors to many many nominations. So if you're a fan
(30:47):
of old movies, anytime a Fred Zinneman movie pops up,
you obviously could consume it. In a film from the
late eighties, you watched Last Night that was a little
of its time but still was a great movie was
nominated for for Academy Awards. Actually it was The Fabulous
Baker Boys.
Speaker 4 (31:04):
Oh my god, so fun to go back to that
Michelle was nominated, and she's quite good, but she's acting.
The person who's not acting in this movie who's brilliant
as Jeff Bridges. He just stands out because he does nothing.
The guy is brilliant, and that to me, he stands
the test of time as well as Dave Gruson's. I
(31:26):
bought this CD CDs when it was out because it
was so good. I wrote him a letter. I was
in Chicago because I was studying opera, so I was
like in the business and I said, Dave, wow, wow,
and wow, this is what I got a reply from him.
He goes, thank you, blah blah blah. This is what
we really want to hear from other musicians who love
(31:48):
this job. I mean, it's the scores to die for.
I mean, she's fantastic and looks phenomenal, and.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
She won just about everything she was nominated for that
year except for the Acade to reward Jessica Tandy one for.
Speaker 3 (32:03):
A driving mistake.
Speaker 4 (32:04):
Yeah, that'll do it.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
But what struck me I only saw the very end
of the movie was Jeff Bridges and Bowl Bridges. I
mean there's a slight similarity, but Bau must be like,
how what happened? How did I get the short ended?
He's a fabulous actors, had a great career, but he's
about a third is good looking.
Speaker 4 (32:25):
Ah, I know it's so unfortunate, but you know what,
I don't think he cares in a way. I don't
think so. I think that's why they could even do this,
if you actually felt like this about your brother. Maybe
they do. I'm sure they do sometimes they must. They
got it out in this movie, you know. But bo
Is is good and after and really in a way,
but he's kind of Bozoe, so you can't help it.
(32:46):
He's not you know, you're not lusting after him like
you are with Jeff in this era. In this era
for Jeff, you know, he's just was the silent deep.
Speaker 3 (32:54):
I think Jeff's kept his fastball.
Speaker 4 (32:56):
He's still yestill, yes.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
Still at his age. Quite a present. So well we're
quite a presence too. I've got a new phone. We're
headed to Hilton Head in a little while. Jane's busy,
