Correct?

Speaker 18 (09:05):
Pot.

Speaker 1 (09:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 17 (09:06):
I always like names with pot in them. There is
always a cool one.

Speaker 18 (09:09):
I always when people look at me and they go,
how do you smile?

Speaker 11 (09:11):
Pot?

Speaker 17 (09:12):
And then then you'll never forget a double illusionist. And
we'll get into what he's doing and all his incredible
work and stuff in a little bit and then we'll
and a little bit. Uh, We'll have a Octovio Partida
from Anti r Media News in the house. He's been
working hard making sure we all know what's going on
in our community. And I'm really really excited to have

(09:33):
him on. I seen him at an event America National
Night Out. We've seen him the other day and I'll
ask him to come on the show and he said, yeah,
So we'll see him in a little bit.

Speaker 18 (09:43):
Fantastic.

Speaker 17 (09:44):
I'd like to mention our I love Sam Radadino. Stand
out of the week today is uh A Nick Roache Cole,
chairman of the Gabrieleno Shoshoni Tribal Council, and I just
wanted to share that, like he helps me with the
uh understanding some Native concepts when it comes to the

(10:05):
Gaverne and I bounce ideas off of him of possible
mega art possibilities in his area where he's from, and uh,
they ranged on the western edge of San Radio like
group of mountains area, you know, towards the coast. So

(10:28):
but they did have songs and stories that they shared
with Jjavia Tom and the Serrano people and and the
the other the other different groups, the Korea and the
the Wadeno and the and the the groups near Temecula
and San.

Speaker 18 (10:45):
Diego, all very common knowledge for people.

Speaker 17 (10:48):
So different, totally distinct different groups, but shared ideas. And
their cousins did this day right, a lot of shared things.
So uh, the fact that I was only kind of low,
I'm having a hard time like explaining myself like to then,
I'm not trying to to do anything wrong here, I'm

(11:10):
trying to show that it exists. I would love Native
guides to help me explain this. And uh, then eventually
I'll get to my own ancestors this study. So that's
my goal is to get to Ireland and England and
study some of the mega art that I've already found there.
But I kind of have to start here with the
great Arahead. So thank you so much, nic Rocha, and

(11:33):
and I appreciate you, uh for being there for me.
And then when I get to the La stuff, I
can't wait. And the western Sanmartino stuff will definitely be
speaking more and uncover some really cool stuff. But I'd
like to read uh for the history tidbit, and that

(11:53):
was brought to you by motivational Realizations, the energy a
positive thought brought to you the Samonadino history didbit I mean,
and the Samaradino stand out of the week, So thank
you Nick Roacha and the Sarmardio history tidbit today is
in my book Legends of the Arrowhead Arrowhead Legend number

(12:18):
two for the Gabrielano Shoshoni Arrowhead Springs legend. Arrowhead Springs
is mentioned in the book California Gabriellano Indians, written by
Bernice Eastman Johnson nineteen sixty two, page twenty. She explains
the significance of Arrowhead Springs to the early first peoples,
the Gabrieloni Shoshoni Amut skubiavit At Camp Cajone and Niang

(12:42):
Nilenga near Arrowhead Springs, were two places where the Gabrieleno
said their ancestors had camped naked and cold at the
beginning of the world when the earth was still soft
for every landmark to be seen. The Gabrieleno had their
own legends or shared those of their neighbors, clothing nature

(13:02):
with the bright fabric of their dreams and visions. So
it's just just a slight bit of information. Now me
being interested in Arrowhead Peak and finding references to Arrowhead
springs with the Gabriello it was really interesting to me, right,
And in the story and the song they talk about

(13:24):
naked and cold at the beginning of the world when
the earth.

Speaker 18 (13:29):
Was still soft sounds very doors like too.

Speaker 17 (13:32):
It also sounds to me like the time before mega art,
like when when when it was had to be formed
in their image right, how they wanted their land to
look like like we do today, Like your garden looks
the way you want it to look, right, my garden
looks the way I wanted. Where their gardens looked the

(13:52):
way they wanted to look, and they used it to
write their encyclopedias and bibles and resource networks and songs.
So you just have to be willing to take a
little look.

Speaker 18 (14:03):
I imagine if the guy next to him, you know,
you see Bob's garden other ding ridiculous, and I told
him he's got a plan better. I wonder what those
conversations were like back then.

Speaker 17 (14:14):
Yes, and I think that it would be like very
important to be as perfect as possible if you could, right,
because you would want others to come visit your garden
and read it. And just like today when we go
to a rose garden or a botanical garden or whatever.
I believe people used to travel from here to Big

(14:35):
Bear just to see the gardens alone. But that that's
gonna take time for me to prove, and hopefully through
genetic testing through the plants, we'll show that there was
animal I mean animal and plant husbandry is what I'm hoping.
Because they also took eglets and baby conders I believe,
and raise them to adults. So there may have been

(14:57):
some other forms of psible domestication. Who knows that I happened,
so really cool stuff, But but I do regress. I
have to mention our sponsor, Golden Pizza and Wings. Yes,
oh good pizza. They got their deal seven fifty five
plus tax. If you order right there, you have to

(15:19):
pick it up, but you'll get a large pepperoni or
large sheets pizza and uh, it's all day, every day,
seven to fifty five plus tax. And they're good people
in there too. The workers are you know, locals from
around here. They all just want to you know, do
their job. And it's hot in there, so you know,
go in there, be nice, get some pizza. Yeah, but

(15:41):
they're they're they're providing a good service. Right, we can
feed our kids and uh for for a decent price
on Friday, and they're not, you know, going nuts.

Speaker 18 (15:51):
And they're suffering for our pleasure.

Speaker 17 (15:53):
Yes, yes, yes, so, uh they're they're uh, they're cool too.
Like I've gotten some incredible conversations while they're actually working.
They never start working. They're like saying, there, makeup, pizza's
talking to you. But like that's how I like it,
you know, because I don't like to bother people when
they're at their work. But still, like when I'm doing
my little videos real quick and stuff like I did today,

(16:16):
it's just fun to deal with the saner Manandino people
in our in our community. They're so real and they're
so raw and like if they know you're from the hood,
you know, you always get mad respect, so you know
where not to go right, and you know where to
go now you're from rialto right.

Speaker 18 (16:35):
No Colton Colton, Okay. Moved out here from l A, Okay.
And it was a very culture shop for me. We
would go to when you go to a checkout standing
like say a Walmart or Target in Los Angeles, it's
all boop there, you go, boop there, you go, get out,
you go over here and it's like, Hi, how are you?
And I'm like, are you serious? Are you actually asking me?

(16:56):
And they're like, yeah, how are you doing? I go
doing fun, having a great day.

Speaker 6 (16:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 18 (17:00):
And we started noticing that more and more where we
were We're uh so rialto drope A Valley, Fontana, all
the areas. We started going this whole neighborhood is just
completely different from what I'm used to in LA. You know, boom, boom, boom,
Get out of my face, Get out of my face.
We've been hanging out in oaklenn We've been hanging out
in Riverside and just you know, meeting new people, meeting friends,

(17:21):
and we're loving it out here. We started calling it
the country. My wife and I we started we're going
to the country. This is where we live now. And
because you know you're not in the country right, yes,
but compared to La, this is country living. Yes, I
have to.

Speaker 17 (17:35):
I have to agree. There is you know, once you
get into l A, it is it's a dense urban living.

Speaker 18 (17:41):
My body I just started having a physical reaction to
the minuts. Are driving back to LA and and I
do that pretty much five days a week. I have
to commute.

Speaker 17 (17:47):
And I guess the country for me would be where
we met at Oak Glenn, Yes, right, at Riley's. Uh
what's that when Rio Dano's.

Speaker 18 (17:55):
Yeah, Rio's I know, I can never get it either.
We're always what is the name of it? It's the
f Orchard.

Speaker 17 (18:01):
Yeah, yeah, like but uh like they hold an event
called the wild West Days.

Speaker 18 (18:06):
Yes, and it's always fun.

Speaker 16 (18:09):
You know.

Speaker 17 (18:09):
We go there and the our crew, the Inland Empire
prospectors and minors from Sam Renardino on Highland. They head
out there and teach all the kids had a gold
pan and stuff.

Speaker 18 (18:18):
My kids had fun doing that as well.

Speaker 17 (18:20):

issue with when somebody tells me how come you don't
have millions of followers, I'm like, my work's not tangible,
so therefore it's like it's fleeting. It's like, oh, man,
look at this great work of art that's gone.

Unless you make it's that what's the guy who makes
it out of glass?

at a brewery. I love to frequent breweries, love craft beer,
and I'm at a brewery and I love talking to people.
And so I at the bar and this guy's sitting
here is wearing overalls, and I go, oh, he looks
like a steel worker. And I said, I just get
off work. He goes, yeah, I've been doing this motion.
He did, like this, this motion where it's kind of

(19:54):
like the okay sign. But he said he was holding
a file and he worked on Jeff Koontz's balloons sculpture
for two weeks. And he goes, I just did this
for two weeks straight. And it was just like he
was holding a file, just working on one of the
little creases of that big giant balloon dog that's at
the broad And I goes, wow, tell me more. And
he's like, you don't want to hear more about that.

(20:15):
I do. I actually I do balloons. I go, but
you helped create and goes, yeah, it was me. And
I think he named eighty workers that worked on this one.

Speaker 17 (20:21):
You know, what Dad tells me is a count.

Speaker 6 (20:23):
You're pretty lazy.

Speaker 18 (20:24):
Yeah, you yourself. That's why he charges the big bucks.
And that guy got paid his hour.

Speaker 17 (20:29):
We made news today. We made news.

Speaker 18 (20:33):
But it's called but.

Speaker 17 (20:34):
That's still cool story.

Speaker 18 (20:35):
It's called a commerce, you know.

Speaker 17 (20:36):
So how do we get into this? Well, so you
make balloon sculptures.

Speaker 18 (20:39):
Yes, that's so. I I originally set out to be
an actor like everybody in LA and I answered an
ad that said actors wanted, and I'm you know, I'm
still new at this. I'm in theater school. I don't
have a resume, and they go, that's fine, we still
want to meet you.

Speaker 1 (20:53):
Come on down.

Speaker 18 (20:54):
So I'm going, oh my god, you know, I didn't
think it was gonna happen. Its quick, Okay, go down
to this warehouse in Culver City and I'm there and
a bunch of other nicely dressed people. They've all get
their head shots and they go, all right, come on
into this room over here. We're gonna see you guys,
see what you can do. And we go okay, So
there's a table just like this this setting right now,
like a big coffee tables. They brought us in small

(21:14):
groups and they said, uh, here's a here's a hat,
here's a mask, and here's another prop. Let's see what
you could do with it, and so it was a
Spiderman mask, Crocodile hunter hat, and a buzz Lightyear mask,
a big buzz lace. So we had to pretend to
be those characters. So at the end of this audition
we find out that we weren't going to be actors.
They wanted us to go to kids' birthday parties and
make balloon animals and face paints and magic. And so

(21:37):
of course half the room gets them and says, how
dare you You know we have integrity, we're highly trained actors,
and I go, yeah, absolutely. So we all get up
a walk out and I look across the street and
I see Matt Stone, creator south Park, and I see
behind him is a miniature version of Paris, and I go,
wait a minute. That was a test. They were testing

(21:57):
us to see if we would take direction and take,
you know, do what they do, because South Park's pretty
silly and so any of the movies that they put together. Okay,
I got it. That was I went back insaide. I said,
I'm gonna take the job. Okay, we want you to
go to kids birthday parties and make balloon and it
was face pants and magic. Okay, I'll do it. It's
just years later, I find out No, I was not

(22:17):

got I love it. I love it.

Speaker 9 (22:29):

Speaker 18 (22:29):

event and I said, I go, mister Stone. I was
making his kids balloons at the time. His daughter was uh.
He saw this intense conversation between me and his daughter.
She's a thirteen year old, and he walked over like,

to my daughter? And I'm going, oh, we were talking
about burger chains and she's saying that five guys is

told Matt Stone I tell this story, and I said, yeah.
Twenty three years later, congrats on your billions. I'm still

fell into it.

Speaker 18 (23:44):
You like, do you like a balloon? Yeah, you went

and so I started studying at the Magic Hostle. I
became a member.

Then I went to the Magical Mystery School in uh
Nevada of Vegas.

going to birthday party after birthday party, I was meeting celebrities.
I was meeting the tea you like, jes No. They
taught us three balloons, three of the worst balloons that
even I would if somebody had to meet those balloons,
I'd be like, get it out of my face right now.
And they taught us the worst face painting. And the

(24:25):
magic that they taught us is like this thing called
the magic coloring book. Every basic magician has this thing.
You you wave it against your wrist and it changes color.
Then the breakaway wand what else did they teach us?
They it was like a like a tin. You go, look,
it's empty, and then when you put it back it,
when you retake the hood off again, there's candy. Here,

(24:46):
go guys candy. So basically that company said, if you
want to get paid more, then you need to learn
more balloons. You need to learn more face paints, you
need to learn more magic. And I was like, okay,
well challenge accepted. So then I would start and I
mind you, I said twenty three years ago. I mean
I'm probably now it's going on twenty four. But there

(25:06):
was no YouTube, there was no like you, how many
balloon books do you know? I've got some balloon books
that I've got a library balloons. It's balloon books and yeah,
it's funny. And I people keep asking me are you
going to give that up? I don't know.

Speaker 17 (25:22):
Is the red balloon in that? Is it the big
Reva little the big Red Balloon?

Speaker 18 (25:26):
I think the Big Red Balloon. Yeah, I do have
that book, but those for my kids. That was about
that for my kids. But uh yeah, so I had
the Bolassic that's a classic. Yeah. My first book, I believe,
was called the Ultimate Balloon Book and had this big,
complicated dragon on the cover of it. Now compared to
what I make now, to me, the fact that I
was like that was complicated. I go, man, I wish

(25:47):
I could just make balloons like that. Now everybody wants
me to make a little boo boo or uh stitch
or like it's it's I want a crane and I
wanted holding a fire truck and it's like, okay, fin.

Speaker 17 (26:01):
Wait a second, Like so this isn't jesting Colley. It's like, look,
you have to be like a straight artist.

Speaker 18 (26:07):
Yeah. Well, so that's what I try to explain to
people who are doing who they ask me for advice?
How do I get into this business? I know the
difference between me and people doing it now is I
had to figure it out. I had to start from scratch.
I went, I basically got myself a curriculum.

Speaker 17 (26:22):
You learned that you were good at this.

Speaker 18 (26:25):
An artist, I couldn't. I always wanted to be an artist.
I wanted to paint, I wanted the sculpe. I wanted
to play music. Balloon, balloon. Somehow it was like the
mighty excaliburate. It just enters my hand and I'm like,
I can do this now.

Speaker 17 (26:38):
You can make an excalibrate anytime you.

Speaker 18 (26:39):
Want, anytime, anytime.

Speaker 9 (26:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 18 (26:42):
And I've just I've done the rock to put it
in right, the rock, ye, I mean now. And everyone
tells me, oh, you probably play with balloons. No, no,
it's a job. It's a job. I only do balloons. Now.

Speaker 17 (26:52):
I was gonna ask you don't have a balloon on you? No?

Speaker 18 (26:55):
No, So I I contemplated bringing you a balloon and
making you balloon. But I did another show one time
and they go, oh, can you make us Gandalf from
uh Lord of the Rings? So yeah, of course, and
so I'm making it. It's just squeak after squeak after
squeak after squeak, and you can see the radio host
is just like, this was a bad idea. I go,
you asked. I was like, yeah, I could have told

(27:17):
you it's not gonna go.

Speaker 17 (27:18):
Well, well next, Hey, what's up?

Speaker 18 (27:20):
Do you come on in?

Speaker 9 (27:21):
Come on in?

Speaker 17 (27:22):
Yeah, come on in and have a seed actor.

Speaker 2 (27:24):
You mean.

Speaker 17 (27:27):
We got mister Partidas in the house right on. I
have a seat, my friend. So so back to back.
So you're like, don't yeah, please have a see right here, dude, Yeah,
this is uh, this is Brian. He's the he's a
illusionist and he does a craft balloon. So uh yes, yes, yeah, yeah,

(27:50):
yeah we're on the show.

Speaker 12 (27:52):
Dude.

Speaker 17 (27:52):
Okay, so uh basically you have this skill that you
learned that it's not just making him out of the
balloon book like like because I I bet you if
I did that, it wouldn't turn out, you know, one
of the one.

Speaker 18 (28:08):
Of the color. Yeah, like if you were like, oh,
let me make a horse and you're like, this is
the horse.

Speaker 9 (28:13):
It looks like a dog.

Speaker 18 (28:14):
This is a dog with a long tail. This is
a dog with a long face, Like.

Speaker 17 (28:18):
Like, how did you decide? Well, I need to add
all these blues together and make a voltron head or whatever.

Speaker 18 (28:24):
So the very so again, I don't come across a
lot of ballooon people at all. And I was at
Universal Studio Studios one day hanging out. They had a
wonderful brewery upstairs. It's not there anymore, COVID killed it,
but uh, there's a brewery upstairs. And I'm trying this
new beer and I'm looking outside and I see balloons
and it's this man, Frank Tabula is his name, and
I said, oh my god. I felt like Booger and Revenge.

(28:47):
There's two. I'm like, master, teach me. And he says
to me, He's like, what are you looking to warn
And I said, I got this is what I make.
This is And I was showing him like these little
tiny balloons. He was like, oh, well, I'm gonna show
you how to make an Elmo. And to me at
that time, I'm Almo was like the most insane balloon
you could get. My god, he made an Alma balloon.

(29:07):
And and so he taught me this Elma balloon. And
I went home and I practiced this Elma balloon over
and over over and over. And so when I would
go to birthday parties and I go, well, Almos just
basically cookie Monster, just Balloe and Red. I've got Almo. Well,
Elmo so then you start stretching out the things. You
start going okay, well with this is Elmo. Then then
it's also style. Yeah, it's also you got Oscar the Grouch.

(29:29):
Now okay, and I go down, Oh, I can't turn
that into uh, I can't turn that into big bird.
I can't do the ah.

Speaker 12 (29:36):
You know.

Speaker 18 (29:36):
But you start playing with it little. You start stretching
out the idea we dinosaur, the dinosaur. Let's see, that'd
be like regular animals. And then you just kind of
stretch so uh so, buddy of mine. So at this point,
I then attended the Magical Mystery School, where I met
other balloon artists who were studying magic. And then these
guys I was like, oh, I'm so small. These are

(29:57):
all like award winning competitive balloon art from around the
country at the time, not around the world. Just it
was a very small class. They told me about a
convention called Twist and Shot, and then I said, all right,
I'm on the next flight Twisting Shot and well it's
it's not it's in two thousand and seven. You're gonna
have to attend. It's in February. It's in Tennessee, and
it travels around the country. I said, all right, went

(30:17):
down there. I met a whole bunch of people. Opened
my eyes. I was like, oh my god, this is
I'm I'm nothing, I'm nothing. And so then of course
everybody's trying to sell you a book, sell you a DVD,
sell you some instructions. But basically I then got involved
in this charity. Don't tell you, we'll get you in
a minute. You're getting a minute.

Speaker 6 (30:39):
Nervous, I'm thinking about what I'm gonna say.

Speaker 17 (30:43):
Oh, good, good good, Yeah, trying to I just want
to make sure.

Speaker 18 (30:50):
So I tell you I'm moving away from the moving
away from the microphone. Yes here. So I tell you
I got involved in a charity called am I pulling
it out? Okay, so ballion matter. So but basically what
we did was a bunch of artists got together and
so we're gonna raise money for teens living with cancer.
And so because teens, well, thank you, I mean the teens,

(31:11):
you get a clown, you get a face painter, you
getting the teens are like, I don't want that. So
we raised money to get them PlayStation, some comic books,
some DVD's, stuff like that. But basically a bunch of
artists got together and built a giant walk in Maize,
kind of like a knots Berry farm style of balloon,
all out of balloons. The walls are made out of balloons.
And this is what I'm saying, This is opening my have.

Speaker 6 (31:31):
So now I'm learning how like as big as his building.

Speaker 18 (31:34):
Or yes, he was in the wing of a mall.
Oh yeah, I don't know how many feet, probably two
hundred three hundred feet. You must have been there. We
got in Sunday. We had to be ready to go
by Friday. And so you have all these artists, did
you you?

Speaker 1 (31:48):
Yeah?

Speaker 18 (31:50):
So I started learning there's a machine you can buy,
there's different types of balloons. I thought just like just
the one long. No, there the basic standard balloon is
called the two sixty. Then there's three point fifty. Then
there's one sixty that's a smaller, skinnier version. Then there's
a six forty six.

Speaker 17 (32:05):
What's the big one.

Speaker 18 (32:07):
That's a sixty six that's the big boy. Yeah, ohough no,
then there's a three footer.

Speaker 6 (32:11):
Yes.

Speaker 18 (32:11):
So then I started learning all these and then basically
the company that owns the balloons sponsored the event, gave
us all the balloons we could imagine. So basically we're like, well,
normally I would these bags cost like fifteen bucks a
pop and h And I'm like, I'm not gonna spend
fifteen bucks a pop on something that's just gonna go
to waste. So I learned about these balloons, practice them.

(32:34):
We started making these giant monsters. So then it became
a competition. Other people were like, well, I can make
a giant monster. Well let's make a job. Who the
best monster wins. We made a giant death that you
can get inside of and control his arms and move
his head around. Then basically, now from meeting these guys,
the art is no dog. Yeah, no, the art starting

(32:54):
any elevated. Yeah, And then we all started playing a
lot together. We were like, well, let's go back to La,
let's meet up regularly. And we got to the point
where we were like knights of the round table. But
then there can be only one type situation, you know, like, yeah,
well yes we're all friends, but we're also still competition.
So then friendship starts to drift, and now, well can

(33:16):
you cover my event? Sure? But can I pass out
my cards? So yeah, just you know, when you get
in this business long enough, you what's what's that saying?

Speaker 17 (33:25):
So, how many expert balloon arsts are there in the
United States?

Speaker 18 (33:30):
I wouldn't say thousands, but a lot, a lot. There's
a lot.

Speaker 17 (33:35):
But the bar is so high, yew that you have
to take it schooling to do it well.

Speaker 18 (33:40):
I mean, so there are conventions and I guess you
could say that's the schooling. But no. A lot of
people put on stuff on YouTube. Now you can just
another person. I know they've got a Patreon and everybody
goes Patreon. Isn't that for inappropriate? So he goes, I'm
able to charge what I charge and do what I'm doing.
So I'm I'm gonna do what I'm gonna do. And
the guy makes a good living selling is his instructional

(34:02):
balloon stuff on patren.

Speaker 6 (34:03):
Okay, so do you have a book?

Speaker 17 (34:05):
I do not?

Speaker 18 (34:05):
Why not?

Speaker 9 (34:06):
Oh, I have a DVD?

Speaker 18 (34:07):
Actually I have a DVD of books. Next, I have
not put a book together. I've always wanted to do
photos of my work, right, so I was one of
to do. Yeah, just photos of the ye.

Speaker 17 (34:19):
You gotta understand this team, This is not just your
little balloons. This is like full body balloon, like like
a mascot costume balloon, like a whole tropical scenery balloon.

Speaker 12 (34:33):
You know.

Speaker 18 (34:34):
I so buddies of mine, they I love. I'm a nerd.
I love comic books. I don't know about you. Spider Man,
spider Man copy yeah, spider Man. So I met a
bunch of guys at these conventions and they were on

(34:54):
stilts and I said, guys, I gotta get on stilts.
I go, I gotta put one of my balloons on stilts.
How do we do this? And they're like, well, I
don't know that I want to put a balloon. I no, no, no,
I'll do it because I can fix it if I
need to. But yeah, So they helped me get on
stilts and then I finally put together Voltron and I
went to La Comic Con and I walked in as Vultron.
Everybody's like, what is going on right now?

Speaker 14 (35:17):
Was there a balloon?

Speaker 6 (35:17):
Guy?

Speaker 18 (35:18):
You were star? Oh?

Speaker 17 (35:19):
Yeah, that is incredible, that is really cool. Yeah.

Speaker 18 (35:22):
I wanted to do that, and I mean, but immediately,
so we.

Speaker 17 (35:25):
Started out in the beginning, he wanted to be an actor,
but he never realized that the path that he did,
he he's a performer.

Speaker 5 (35:32):
Now, I just ye, you met your costumes out of
flo balloon all balls, yep, and not do everything for
all the birthday party.

Speaker 18 (35:43):
Every well, like the photo that I'm showing you, guys,
that was for a commercial. I did the balloons for
Gardens of the Galaxy three the Christmas I'm sorry, not
three the Christmas Special. But then it was cut. So
if you're if you see the scene in Hollywood Boulevard
where they're running through hollow Bill Avarady sell the characters,
you'll see balloons in the background.

Speaker 9 (36:04):
At least you got.

Speaker 18 (36:04):
Hey, that's all that mattered. And what I tell people all.

Speaker 17 (36:08):
The time, directors cut, that's what they do.

Speaker 18 (36:10):
Yeah, so I've done done stuff like that with balloons.
I yeah, build characters, schools, schools, retirement homes. I've done
a lot of retirement homes. They poor guys.

Speaker 5 (36:22):
Man.

Speaker 18 (36:22):
You go in to a retirement home and they're just
sitting there and they're like, what is going on? And
I come in annoying them with my loud machine, blowing
up these balloons and at first get this guy out
of here, what is this? But then they see the
work coming together, They're like, that's cool. I go and
you guys, get to keep this that's awesome. And then
they sit there and they.

Speaker 17 (36:41):
Will tell everybody want someone there.

Speaker 18 (36:44):
Literally they'll tell everybody like, I'll go back to refresh
the balloon, because they can last up to two weeks indoors,
if not longer. I've got a client that hires me
to make a Christmas tree every year, and every year
she challenges me with She's like, now I want this
Christmas tree. I want this one like you got it
coming up?

Speaker 17 (37:00):
Because okay, so how much does a Christmas streek cost?

Speaker 18 (37:05):
It ranges? So let's put it this way.

Speaker 17 (37:07):
Well, don't put yourself down like give us a high range.

Speaker 6 (37:10):
Okay.

Speaker 18 (37:11):
See, this is the thing. I I don't like to
say prices because, for instance, like a school, you don't
know what could happen. Yeah, a school could say like
hey we want it.

Speaker 17 (37:19):
Could be reasonable, or it could be blasted out of
the range.

Speaker 18 (37:23):
I had a client and say, we want this Kim
Kardashian style arch and we want our name, and I said,
they send to me and I said, well that's a
fifteen thousand dollars arch and they go, yeah, those are
the quotes we're getting. And I okay, now is that
what you want to spend. They go, no, we want
to go more like than the five thousand dollars arch. Like, okay,
So I'll send him another arch and I'll say, this
is a five thousand dollars arch. Okay, perfect, we'll take that.

(37:44):
I go, okay, there you go cheaper, and I go
that's what I try to do. I go, okay, tell
me what you want and tell me what your budget is.

Speaker 17 (37:52):
A teen balloons ain't all hot air. Let me tell
you man, there's some money in this.

Speaker 6 (37:57):
In that smart way he does because like you don't.
Is that you don't tell your competition your prizes? Yeah,
because if.

Speaker 18 (38:03):
Now they gonna want to match you. Yeah, right, well
right now, goes oh, is your is your competitor this company?
Is this your competitor?

Speaker 17 (38:10):
No?

Speaker 18 (38:11):
No, it's the mom on Amazon that says, oh, look
at that wonderful arch. It says, I could buy it
for forty dollars and put it together and it'll look
just like that. Number one, those photos are photoshopped. Number one, they.

Speaker 9 (38:24):
Never turn out.

Speaker 18 (38:24):
They never turn out. And then the smell popping mostly
the smell, well, they're they're they're direct from China, they're
on a shipping container. Then they're shipped to you from
the warehouse. The smell dude.

Speaker 14 (38:36):
Oh.

Speaker 18 (38:36):
I remember one time a relative of mine says, well,
I can't afford to pay you, and I'm like, what
do you need, I'll do it. They go, no, no, no,
I bought all the balloons. And I go, you bought
all the balloons. Okay, oh no, oh no, let me
guess Amazon. Yeah like go, okay, I'll put it together
for you, but I'm not gonna like it. And I'm
putting it together and I'm going, oh, I smell so bad.
They just it smells like a rubber that's been left

(38:58):
out in the sun. Yeah, very chem and your the
dye in your fingers. I was immediately washing my hands.

Speaker 17 (39:03):
I was like, this is the so don't pie the
Amazon one. So if they want to use your services,
how do they get ahold.

Speaker 18 (39:10):
Of my website is bellutionist. It's not easy to spell,
so it's balloon illusionist. But you remove So if you
take the word illusionist, you remove the I, you add
ba it's illusionist. But apparently I made a word that
is too complicated for kids to spell or remember. And

(39:31):
then everybody calls me balloonist and a balloonist is a
hotter balloon pilot.

Speaker 19 (39:35):
I made this stick because I couldn't figure out what
a illusionist was and until I realized that you made
it up.

Speaker 18 (39:45):
Yeah, I made it up, and uh patent did. By
the way, I was on Blippy. I don't know if
you've heard of Blippy. Uh he's a preschool show. He
goes to indoor playgrounds. Uh plays with the playground and
tells everybody, like you know, come to this playground, check
it out. Blippy spelled my name wrong. And what's really
upsetting about the way he spelled it is he spelled
it the way I should have originally spelled it. He
spelled it balloonist.

Speaker 17 (40:08):
I well, next time, go to delusionists on Instagram and
check it out. And Uh, we're gonna move the next
segue into this next segment. Here we got uh Octobia
Partida from nt R News.

Speaker 18 (40:24):
Uh.

Speaker 17 (40:24):
I saw you at a National Night out the other
day and you're doing your thing. I first met you
you sent me a message on Facebook a long time ago,
and you were just getting involved in doing uh media stuff.

Speaker 1 (40:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (40:40):
Basically, first of all, my name is like he said,
and sorry for being late, but you know, to them
to the to the people who watched watch you guys,
I sorry for being late, but you know what I mean,
like you guys, my girlfriend too, I look I look serious,
but once once I started, didn't like, you know what

(41:00):
I mean, I comfortable like I started, I started, Yeah,
I got the beer like she's like, you know, damn,
he looks too serious and I'm too serious, man, I'm
gonna start, you know, no, nothing, nothing but serious.

Speaker 17 (41:16):
You seriously are doing good work. And I appreciate you
going out there, you know, covering our community. So what
gave you this idea to just start going out and
and basically becoming a journalist.

Speaker 6 (41:27):
The well, A lot of people start criticizing me when
I started, not me at all supported that was we
got a stringers stringers out there, right, and we had
a movie. They had a movie called can we say

(41:54):
Just making sure you want to shout in the dark?
They shout in the dark where I'm a lot of companies,
I'm not gonna say the names for respect. I don't
want them to later on, you know, come back, and
I wonder how many I did a mistake. You know,
when when you have like a like a kid's brain
and you get all excited and stuff like that.

Speaker 18 (42:13):
I'm a stringer.

Speaker 9 (42:15):
I'm a stringer.

Speaker 6 (42:16):
I'm not a stringer. I got put on a page
called want to these Stringers on Instagram. It was man
to shame people who who you know what I mean,
like make fun of people you know who, like who
make mistakes and stuff.

Speaker 17 (42:30):
I'm dumb, But what's the stringer?

Speaker 6 (42:34):
What a stringer is is somebody that goes out there
at night. At least that's how it used to be
from what old A real string a strange. I don't
want to get into that sting, but a stringer of
what they do is they go out there at night
and they get newsworthy and sell it to the TV stations.

Speaker 17 (42:52):
What's wrong with that?

Speaker 6 (42:53):
Well, I wasn't really doing it. I was just calling
myself a stringer. That's why it's called wanna be Stringers?

Speaker 17 (42:59):
So yeah, I got I dealt with a little bit
in that beginning.

Speaker 6 (43:02):
Like in my journal, it's like it's like I understand
them to shout outs to all of you guys, like
all the stringers are doing a good job, like it
was not their fault. It was my fault the end,
because well, when you when you when you come out
there and do those things like it's like saying they
worked so hard for years, like Robert, you work so

(43:22):
hard to become the historical commissioner. And I go here
and try to claim I'm a commissioner. To you're like, no,
he's not a commissioner.

Speaker 18 (43:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 17 (43:29):
I got again if.

Speaker 6 (43:31):
And it got a lot of people mad. I was
gonna say the other word, but I know we can't
say it. But it got a lot of people, a
lot of people mad.

Speaker 17 (43:38):
And so then you change your attitude changed.

Speaker 6 (43:41):
I changed my attitude. I understood what I was doing wrong.

Speaker 17 (43:45):
So I'm like, you know what, I'll just become the
media company.

Speaker 18 (43:48):
I just opened my own.

Speaker 6 (43:49):
Company and and I started. I started in twenty twenty four.
Established like established, I registered that in under California low.
You can look it up and they'll find it right there.

Speaker 17 (43:59):
I still remember when you really started getting serious. I
started noticing your your news articles in my news app
that I had.

Speaker 6 (44:07):
Yes, usually or knew something like that you you were,
you were, You could say you were the door. You
open it, You open the door for me, like when
you and SB Media News. SB Media News is a mystery.
He doesn't like to be.

Speaker 17 (44:23):
Yeah, we tried to get We tried to bring him on,
but I didn't tell we had the illusionists here, and
he could have made him a mask. No, but but him,
because it can be dangerous in our in our work
if you run into the wrong.

Speaker 6 (44:38):
People, exactly, and and and that's why a lot of
people were saying, you're playing around. You're you're saying you're
a stringer. And where we're here risking our lives. Where
we hear you know, something could happen to that that's dangerous.
Like when I realized what a stringer really was, like,
oh gosh, like you know what I mean.

Speaker 17 (44:55):
They really it's what I don't want to do. Like
I don't don't like going to fires anymore. That smells
nasty and against they give you a headache. I don't
want to go to a car accident. You might see
something you might not forget. You know, it's hard work.

Speaker 6 (45:09):
You remind me. When I went to fund let's started
laughing about it. I went to Fontana. Sorry, I went
to Fontana. I went to a barbershop that was on fire.
Brainless me, I laughed. A rookie went inside with all
those chemicals could have hurt me, it could have gotten
me really got bad, bad and that, and then a

(45:30):
lot of stringers told me, I'm not gonna say no names,
but a lot of stringers told me, A that gid,
that's gonna give us a bad reputation, you know what
I mean, They're not gonna try to let us in
no more and stuff like that. Because I did. I
was a little sick because oh.

Speaker 17 (45:45):
Yeah, man, it was the chemicals that happened to me
after Stardust when it burned. Yeah, I went up there
and tried to cover it home. I was feeling weird
the whole day afterwards. I was like, that was the
last fire I will ever cover. Yeah, but maybe from
far away, I'll be like, yeah, if it's up.

Speaker 9 (46:00):
In the hills or something.

Speaker 6 (46:01):
You know, there's cameras that can sum in.

Speaker 18 (46:03):
Yeah, I learned.

Speaker 5 (46:04):
I learned that.

Speaker 6 (46:05):
Excuse me, I learned that that I have a cannon
except three hundred. It was made maybe twenty and ten.
If I'm if I'm not corre ten we assume saying yeah,
and I'm saying.

Speaker 17 (46:19):
It's uh better than zooming your nose in there like
ten eight ste.

Speaker 18 (46:24):
Sorry, Well, I remember last year's fire and riverside up
and I was I was wanting to go take my
kids to go see a movie, and I said, look
at there's the fire. Let's take a photo. That's as
close as we got to the fire. Because I'm like, no, yeah,
we're going anywhere near the fire.

Speaker 6 (46:36):
I can tell you that when you feel the burn.

Speaker 18 (46:39):
And I know why.

Speaker 6 (46:40):
Now some journalists and stringers they wear a yellow jacket
yeah and uh, and not to pretend to pretend to
be like yeah, not to be a wanna be string
like I was. But but I'm saying this in a
in a good in a good way.

Speaker 17 (46:54):
Like, so now you're not like now once you decide
that you're not a stringer, in which you actually are
as a business owner a media company. I decided it's
a small scale, but it's still your own company, your
own stuff, little.

Speaker 6 (47:07):
Little, tiny, tiny company that's.

Speaker 17 (47:09):
Yours, and you get to do what you want to,
Like what how do you choose stories to go do?
Like because I realized that at the point of my now,
I can't go to everything anymore, and I have to say, no,
how do you choose your store?

Speaker 6 (47:20):
You guys are finally are probably familiar with this Justice
eight when eight people got arrested.

Speaker 17 (47:29):
Yes, yes, yeah, that's the kind of.

Speaker 6 (47:32):
Story you like. And I cover that story. They started
in Victor Bill, they started in Bigder Beer. I can't
really speak on it because of the families like a lot.
But you guys already know. Because like you guys already know.
Shoutouts to them. They're cool people with me, Like even
though they got locked up because they wanted to you

(47:54):
know what I mean there they maybe shouldn't. You shouldn't talk.

Speaker 18 (47:59):
Talk about my.

Speaker 6 (47:59):
Company, Yeah, because that's something that they should come here
and talk about.

Speaker 18 (48:03):
They should do that.

Speaker 6 (48:03):
Yeah, yeah, they should do that.

Speaker 17 (48:05):
But so explain that your company, like the different parts
of it that.

Speaker 6 (48:10):
Got me in the spotlight when I start covering the courts,
when I start covering the rallies and all that stuff
that got me in the spotlight that I that I
didn't want to. It just got me.

Speaker 18 (48:24):
Oh inter your meeting.

Speaker 6 (48:25):
KBCR, shout outs to them. They they they saw me,
Oh you do media, and I felt I felt good,
Like when they told me, oh, shoot, like I'm getting
positive work, you know what I mean. I'm getting I'm
getting like that positive bias. So I'm gonna change my ways.
I'm gonna stop getting mad when people in this industry
try to give me advice because they're telling me because

(48:47):
they're being here longer, and me stop trying to be
that mister knows it all, you know what I mean,
I stop trying to be that cocky you that that
you know that mister know it all.

Speaker 18 (48:56):
You know.

Speaker 17 (48:57):
Like it takes a little time because sometimes that in
the beginning, it gets to your head. When you get
a little bit of fame.

Speaker 6 (49:03):
You start now and now that I have it, that
I have my studio, in my podcast, I'm just me.
I'm just normal.

Speaker 17 (49:11):
The other thing it's fleeting to I mean like like
like it goes up and down, like views in your
your in your insights. Basically, sometimes you have a lot
of views with something, sometimes you don't.

Speaker 18 (49:27):
I don't want to say that is a huge celebrity.
But he was complaining about the gift basket in the
lobby that wasn't big enough for it.

Speaker 6 (49:33):
What happened just.

Speaker 18 (49:37):
Take all the vapes out of the was like, where

Speaker 17 (50:38):
I love that they spend our money good.

Speaker 6 (50:40):
You know, look they have been have they been done
in on fifth on fifth on for those of you
who are watching from somewhere else, I don't know, Paris
or tastes on the fifth Street as a you mean
the Fifth Street corridor. Yeah, yeah, when they have they'll
they're not paying us, bro, they'll talk when they have.
They have a lot of a lot of fast food restaurants.

(51:02):
We're gonna say that a lot of fast food restaurants
want to know.

Speaker 17 (51:06):
It looks nice And we definitely have to. We have
to give our team up there at the das the
respect and they do work hard. But I always let
them know that they're no different than us in being humans,
you know, like we're all got good ideas, we all
can help. And that's what I never expect too much
either from our politicians either, because they're good at what

(51:29):
they're good at right well, and they need to learn
from us too. So that's that's say, like what what
you do accepting advice from others, Like, don't be afraid
to give that to the politicians as well, you know.

Speaker 6 (51:41):
What I mean. But but but the thing is, when
it comes to politicians, we haven't been on their foot
on their foot on steps either, Like what the what
the other dude did? Like right now, what you know
who's doing? Trump? What he's doing? The President's gonna have
to clean that up.

Speaker 18 (52:03):
All that meant all these fifty thousand dollars bonuses are
gonna come from our tax, you.

Speaker 6 (52:09):
Know what I mean, Like it's gonna come out with
all this return so small, and let me tell you something.
We're allowed to talk about ice. Yeah, I just want
to make sure you know, I don't want to Well,
here's my car, mac No, but it's not about that.
We're just going around right now.

Speaker 17 (52:29):
So I have you've been covering anything? I mean, there's
been some big stories like that, the shooting on Baseline.

Speaker 6 (52:33):
That's what I want to talk to you see in
there our police officers, they were doing their jobs. They
were just trying to assist. But in the videos, like
they make themselves look like they should have tried to
calm down. You know, don't let don't let They're the
police there, they're supposed to calm down. But some of
the cars were like cousin back and then trying to

(52:56):
trying to to their level. And even the chief, the
chief one AAA eight guys guys, like, guys, calm down there,
you know what I mean. Like, don't get me wrong,
I'm not an antique cop hater or nothing like that.
Like I love my city. I'm origing it from LA
but I grew up down here there.

Speaker 17 (53:13):
I'll tell you, Like just any group. There's good.

Speaker 6 (53:19):
It's like a security who falls asleep and the security
doesn't job. Yes, yeah, but.

Speaker 9 (53:26):
There's the same thing.

Speaker 17 (53:27):
There's there's there's cops that are really not nice people,
and then there's some cops that are just genuinely incredible.

Speaker 18 (53:33):
Yeah, there's something to do their job and something don't.

Speaker 17 (53:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (53:36):
And the way that I like to do things, like
my type of we're going back to the company. I
want to give let's say him, you well, you already
got a boys, but you know what I mean, I
want to give them the freedom of them speaking speaking
like on the like. For example, right now, we got
on Josida. Josida she wants to become a Tana Mayer.

(54:00):
So she's doing a campaign right now. We're doing a
campaign for her and she's speaking up on that and
she gave me the chance to to promote her campaign.
So she has good ideas. Like you know, like I said,
it's better she comes here and explain it because if
I say something wrong later on, you know what I mean,
they're gonna be why you And I also I also

(54:27):
have to say this, like I do support the Brown Berets,
their organization that helps the community. They help the community.
They help our community. A lot of people see them different,
but they help the community. They really help the community.

Speaker 17 (54:42):
And well, well, if you like to bring the brown
Berets on the show, and you know, it's up to
it's up to them.

Speaker 6 (54:50):
I'll ask, but it's up to them. If you if
you if you're watching, it's up to them. I don't
I don't want to like they can. It's better for
them to explain.

Speaker 17 (54:57):
Are they are? They similar like to Guardian Aimes, Joel
in l.

Speaker 6 (55:01):
A And they're kind of like the Black Panthers more so.
They do have some political they respect to they respect
everybody too. And then there there.

Speaker 17 (55:13):
Political as I'm they're political, yeah.

Speaker 6 (55:18):
Like there there there are some things that it's a
radio station, guys, I'm not going to say it, but
there's a lot of things. There's a lot of things
that are happening political politicians that are corruption and stuff
like that, you know what I mean.

Speaker 17 (55:34):
And and and we and and that's what we're referred to.
Uh to bring that stuff out into the into the
into the forefront so people can see it. And that
that helps that you go to these stories. That helps
that you go to the community events that now, have
you been to many city meetings?

Speaker 6 (55:53):
I went to the Fontana City council meeting. What did
you think of that? It went crazy that they twenty
twenty three, it went wild, You got wild like it
was that they when when the Justice eight thing happened,
it went wild. Oh wow, man, like they're don't get
me wrong, people were getting tired of you know, you

(56:16):
know of the mayor from Tanna with the street vendors
and everything. They're getting out a little emotionally. They got
a little emotional. But I understand we need permit though
we definitely you don't want somebody to.

Speaker 17 (56:29):
Be this show has been like we've brought on so
many groups and smash berger yeah street and then they
help explain the process to do it the right way.

Speaker 6 (56:40):
