Pink noise/ rain ambience — Look, this episode has nothing to do with creator of the Batdance. And yes I was hoping for an unearned second glance just by typing out “purple” and “rain” in a title bar.Gawd I do love theBatman album (changes subject) and how it captures the expensive, unhinged feel of Gotham City. The best comic book movie soundtrack. TheI'm Breathless “soundtrack” comes close — but if it's a bunch of inspired by, not in the movie it is not a soundtrack. (Yet also “Vogue” is on the album). Whatever. This week's episode is pink noise and rain which I hope will be a relaxing combination of sounds that pair well with readinga long article about the Batman album or the dishes.

There's so many acronyms in this episode, it might make your head spin. We talk about IRC, IBC, IEBC, ADA, FHA and more. John Anderson and I don't do this to punish you, or make you feel confused. But, it's critical to understanding the world of how buildings actually get built. John is usually good for at least a couple of one-liners, and this one is my favorite in this episode:Real estate development is a black box full of money and villains.You'll learn in this episode why requiring sprinklers in small and middle-scale building isn't necessary, and how it makes housing less affordable. We talk about single-stair reform, and understanding how the Fair Housing Act is a very different animal than the Americans with Disabilities Act.For more from John, check out his blog.Find more content on The Messy City on Kevin's Substack page.Music notes: all songs by low standards, ca. 2010.

This is Kevin Klinkenberg. You know, we spent a lot of time in the world of whatever you want to call it, urbanism, planning, design, urban design, talking about zoning reform, especially for what we kind of call missing middle housing and the need to reform zoning codes to enable the production of sort of smaller scale.housing. And so I've had a number of episodes on that. We've talked about it. We'll continue to talk about it. But one thing we really haven't talked much about at all, and that's often overlooked, is the need for reform to building codes and building code and development approval processes generally with local governments. So my friend John Anderson started an email thread the other day.that, kind of dug into this issue and like a lot of John's emails, it was long and thorough and a little bit grumpy. and so I thought John and I should just, talk about it, because there's a lot of really great stuff here that I'm not sure that people think about, terribly much, especially if you're one of those people who wants to do small scale, development.whether new construction or rehab, especially for new construction, there's just a lot of other things to think about that you're going to have to consider and other things potentially to work on with your local government to try to reform. So that's a very long introduction to say, welcome John, how you doing?R. John Anderson (01:44.944)Good, I'm good. I'm glad that emails are really thin medium, so it's hard to get grumpiness to come across at the right amplitude.Kevin K (01:55.902)always comes across, you know, it's okay. But I've known you long enough to be able to even decipher it when it's kind of a little more subtle.R. John Anderson (02:06.724)Well, I'll tell you one thing that's.Kevin K (02:08.766)And then there are times that you and Gary Brewer go at it and it's not subtle at all.R. John Anderson (02:13.468)hi. I, it feels like, having a conversation with someone in Quebec where I just don't, our experience is so different. The world's way operator so far apart. It's it. I feel like we're too, you know, Neanderthal tribes meeting in the dark searching for a common word for fire without success. You know, so.Kevin K (02:37.63)Yeah.No doubt. No doubt.R. John Anderson (02:41.904)No, Fog thinks small house 500 square feet. No, Og thinks small house 3000 square feet.Kevin K (02:47.646)Exactly. $2 million is a reasonable budget for any new house, Yeah.R. John Anderson (02:52.046)Right. And you ought to have it specially designed by an architect because that's the world that he's operating in.Kevin K (02:58.812)That's okay. We love, we love Gary too. He's a brilliant designer. but, he long operated in a different stratosphere in terms of architecture. So John, let's, let's get into this a little bit. I think there's, do you want to kind of lead off a little bit, just talking about building code reform generally before we get into some of theR. John Anderson (03:01.818)Yeah.R. John Anderson (03:17.71)Well, yeah, let's talk about why you'd want to reform the building code. We've seen a fair amount of uptake in zoning code reform where folks are, think, under the banner of making middle scale, missing middle housing legal again.you see that find its way into comprehensive plans and then policy documents. And then from there, it goes through the gruesome process of actually changing the zoning. Often it takes two mentions in the comprehensive plan or three to get that to happen. It's in the implementation paragraph in the back. We should change the zoning to make this legal. And the, and youTo the credit of people that are trying to move a comprehensive plan forward, they really are trying to engage the big ideas and get enough consensus and buy -in to be able to pursue them. And then that can be a couple hundred thousand dollars down the road and you've exhausted all your staff and you have no budget left to actually change the zoning. So which is why it takes two or three cycles of the comp plan.But when it finally comes around to it, then you get zoning that allows a duplex, an ADU, a fourplex. And then the fourplexes don't get built. And that's because when you move, in most places, when you move past two units, a duplex, into three units in a building, you move from the International Residential Code to the International Building Code or the Commercial Code. So.And when that happens, you have fire sprinklers. And in order to have fire sprinklers, you need to make a connection at the water main. You have to protect the water main from stale water in your sprinkler system from washing back, backflow preventer. You need a sprinkler riser and a pressure reducing valve and a flow alarm. And like this red trombone that lives in a little closet that gets inspected by the building is the fire inspector before.R. John Anderson (05:29.36)you run horizontally your pipes. And because you're tapping the water menu, that's a serious piece of plumbing work, but it also typically requires a tap fee. in Seattle, that was $16 ,000. And in Chattanooga, it was $18 ,000 if you wanted to build a fourplex.Kevin K (05:54.204)That's just the fee. That's just to check you right to the municipality. Right.R. John Anderson (05:56.664)Yeah, there's no tap. There's no water coming your way. There's just the promise of water now that you've paid the fee for the privilege. And it's at the discretion, typically, the fire official for an entirely residential building. If you're going to build a residential sprinkler system, the geek term for that is NFPA 13R, National Fire Protection Association, 13R. That means you can use PECs or PVC plastic pipe onceonce you're inside the building and you've got it all set up. But for a 13 -hour system, for a residential system, it's the fire official has some discretion about whether or not they want a separate dedicated service, or you should be able to use the domestic service with a backflow preventer or check valve to keep the stagnant water and the fire sprinklers from contaminating your domestic water. But typically fire officials areare creatures of habit and that habit is usually enforcing the strictest standard possible and not, they're not given to, making concessions. would make a builder's life easier. So it's good. It's got, you're deviating from the system, youKevin K (07:08.68)Plus you're, yeah, and you are practicing the dark arts of real estate development, so you probably are serving to endanger the lives of whoever you're building for,R. John Anderson (07:21.434)Well, that's actually how we make our money. It's by endangering other people. The more of our customers we can put at risk, the better for us. And I think, know, in their defense, our culture says that real estate development and construction is a black box full of money and villains, and it's unknowable how much money is going to be made. So why would you complain about saving children from a fire?Kevin K (07:30.558)It'sR. John Anderson (07:49.552)because there's just a huge amount of money you're going to make. it's a technical problem wrapped in myth and caricature.Kevin K (07:59.518)So if I just take a step back and think big picture again here, so especially maybe for a lay person, you know, a lot of people, I remember this, a lot of people refer to these codes as like fire codes. That's kind of like the vernacular for people who are not architects or in the professions, but they're actually technically called building codes. When I was a young architect, there were multiple different building codes. There was a uniform building code and there was a Southern building code.BOKA code, and then they eventually all coalesced into what we call the International Building Code. And that is the standard now that most cities, local governments, and states adopt. There are different cycles and years at which you might adopt a But as you mentioned, there's also this companion piece called the International Residential Code, which for the most part governs just one family and two familybuildings.R. John Anderson (09:00.428)or attached one family, like a townhouse with a fire separation wall between them, no common hallways or anything. The entity that issues those codes is called the International Codes Council, it's a private nonprofit. And if you're a fire official or a local building official, this is probably your trade group. Also, if you manufactureKevin K (09:07.474)Right.R. John Anderson (09:29.872)fire sprinklers, you're probably pretty active there. Because what happens is there's a code cycle where, okay, we have a new edition of the International Residential Code coming out for 2028 or 24 or whatever. so in between the last time the model, what they call model codes were issued and now folks have made proposals. This last round for the 2024contains a lot of really good improvements on the codes for building decks, which were kind of a neglected area and there were a lot of deck failures and some smart folks got together and came up with some common sense solutions. So, and if you use those solutions, you don't actually have to have an engineer verify your deck construction. So the issue of the model code and then state by state, state legislaturesthey'll review it in committee. It'll come to a vote. They'll adopt the such and such year, the 2024 international residential code, international existing building code, international FAR code, international, you know, all of those codes, kind of all at once. And then depending on your state, you can, when the state adopts it, then it goes over to a codes commissiondoes rulemaking where they might make some adjustments that are appropriate to that state, local climate and economics. And then it becomes law. And then the process for it to happen at the local level, your county, municipality, town, some places it immediately becomes the one you're supposed to work with. Others you have a window toadopted in and if you don't do anything to amend it, it's the one you're going to work with. And other places, the only way you, so you could adopt it and make it less stringent in places like California or New York, and I believe Illinois, but in states that are what are called Dillon's rule state versus home rule states, Dillon's rule state, you can only adopt it to make it moreR. John Anderson (11:55.726)So in Tennessee, recently basically legalized fourplexes without fire sprinklers. And they did that at the state level after attempting to do it just for Shelby County and Memphis. They had to go back and try again. most of the code reform issues that are going on in most states have to be engaged at the state legislature.level. And a lot of states will eliminate the requirement for fire sprinklers in all new residential units.Kevin K (12:36.178)And so we should probably talk about like what's the whole big deal? Why wouldn't you want to have sprinklers required in buildings? And I want to give you a little background from my standpoint, but you go ahead and answer that first. What's the problem here?R. John Anderson (12:55.662)Well, I think the problem is one, first of cost, and then second of benefit. A two -story fourplex is actually safer than a single -family house of the same size because there are rated assemblies separating one unit from the rest. You have exiting that meets the requirements.all those places that are sleeping rooms have to have an egress window. So in addition to going out through the hallway, you could go out through the window or a firefighter could come in from the window and they're sized. So firefighter with a Scott pack can go through the window. the, and there isn't much in the way of actual evidence that fire sprinklers save lives or save structures. They're mostly there even in commercial buildings to increase the amount of exitingpeople have to get out of the building. They don't put out fires. They control smoke to a point. So, and it, you know, it makes sense if you're in a big quarter building or a hotel or, you know, a high rise, that getting out of the building in the case of a fire is a big serious issue. There's a big difference in scale between a high rise and a fourplex. So, and also the cost of, again, getting the system just to the building is significant.actually costs more than running the pipe inside the building. So that additional cost, say you're trying to build market rate apartments adjacent to a daycare and a place for food and drink. And you get actually a little bit higher rents because you have those community amenities. But if the rents are not high enough to support a more expensive kind of construction, thenyou probably build townhouses or something else. So the notion of the missing middle, there is a whole strata of easily built wood frame buildings that could be built, but for this fire sprinkler requirement that makes the cost too high to be able to recover either with a sales price or with rent. So basically, you can't get the rent, you probably shouldn't build the building. And it'sR. John Anderson (15:19.536)I mean $18 ,000 before you install the system. you're going to, that's the same system you would use for 16 units. Just 16 units would have more pipe. But the core system being kind of, that cost being spread over just three or four units, it kills it off. And it's typically six units or more become kind of the threshold.Kevin K (15:44.958)Well, and there's also an ongoing maintenance cost. mean, you can't just like put in a backflow preventer in a fire sprinkler system and just like let it sit for 50 years and never touch it.R. John Anderson (15:53.284)Yep. Yep. Well, and also the, you'll often hear fire officials talk about, you're going to, you know, okay, so it costs a little bit more on the front end, but people are going to save money on their homeowner's insurance, you know, or, or the building owner will save money on their insurance. And that's just not true because there's more property damage from leaking fire sprinklers than there are from fires. And the folks that issue insurance are smart enough to, you know, look at the actuarial tables and say, Nope, no break for fire sprinklers. So.Kevin K (16:22.59)And I think you can – even if you don't know a of this stuff, you might intuitively kind of know it because if you look around and see what is actually built in terms of new construction and that's why I think one reason when you look around you see an awful lot of – not just single family. I mean there's obviously a big single family market but when you go to duplexes or a townhouse rows where you might have four, six townhouses in a row or something likeYou're doing all of that with the international residential code and you're avoiding all of the complexities of the international building code or the requirements that come with having multiple units.R. John Anderson (17:04.996)Yeah. Also, if you were to do, there's a, there's a paragraph in the international residential code that says, okay, so you could have a duplex and up and down duplex, no fire sprinklers attached to that. know, so you had a ground floor, you know, one bedroom and upstairs, had a two or three bedroom, you know, three story building like you'd see in Savannah. you can't do that without fire sprinklers. Now, once you put two units in a, in a building and attachwith the firewall and everything, now you gotta do fire sprinklers. So, and that's a really, really practical, flexible building type that we can't do because every one of those individual buildings now needs a fire sprinkler system. And there's just, now you're looking at spreading the cost of that red trombone over two units, so.Kevin K (17:56.882)Yeah, it's interesting to me because I think about before the codes unified, there were very different philosophies between like the UBC and the BOCA code. broadly speaking, like one of them was, have very, it was more about building materials and assemblies. And thenwhat became the international code was really just basically about sprinklers. They say we're gonna be a lot more lenient on exiting and materials and other stuff as long as you put in sprinklers. And that's the one that wonR. John Anderson (18:35.93)Yeah, there are other ways to build without sprinklers, but typically the amount of brain damage required is tough. And a lot of times when you take those alternative routes, the building official or file official will say, no, no, why don't you just sprinkle it? And the evolution of codes over time, it wasn't until the, I think the mid sixties.It's been a long time since I had to take my journeyman's test as an electrician, but I think it was the mid 1960s. Before that time, you weren't required to ground outlets. So an old house with no ground, your answering machine, computer, television, anything is kind of at risk because there's no ground. So now grounding outlets became the thing. In about 1975, hardwired smoke detectors became required.And that actually saved a lot of lives. So that was a really effective change in the building code. And when it all got consolidated, the kind of code caulking that was used to bring it all together was, well, yeah, we have all these differences, but I think we can agree that if you sprinkle it, it's no problem. We got it covered. So the end over time.you see that's also the place where you would go to argue about whether how wide a street needs to be because that's incorporated into the fire code. And in recent additions, it went from being 20 foot clear to 26 foot clear, depending on which appendix you adopt. And this is the kind of thing where if some restrictions are a good idea in the name of safety, then more might be better. And I think that a lot of this comesWe have really specialized rules that are not integrated into making places worth caring about. They are specialized and the builder, the developer, the architect, or the people that are responsible to combine these ingredients in a capable way. And then we have them reviewed by a bunch of specialists who each have their own particular set of goals when they do the review.R. John Anderson (20:57.956)And if you've ever worked on a big serious building that had elevators and you had a local electrical inspector and a state elevator inspector, both operating under perfectly good codes, you could be hung up for six months while they fight. And you've built it the way you thought was, the way the architect got it signed off. But in the final turf competition, you couldreally jammed up because now you have specialists that are in conflict. And both of them feel like they have the authority to win.Kevin K (21:36.926)But of course, one of the great ironies of all this is the sort of buildings that we're often trying to reproduce or emulate or do new again have been around for 100, 100 plus years. The truth is most of those were built with a very similar construction method as how we build today. A lot of them were like balloon framed with like a, maybe they have a brick veneer or something like that. But a lot of them aren't like Clay Chapman's structural masonry buildings. They're actuallywood -framed. have no, right, I mean they have no fire rated assemblies at all between the units or between the hallways. Single stair often in many cases, no sprinklers, none of those features at all. And I'm not to say there haven't been fires and tragedies in any of those buildings, but by and large, if you look around, there's enormous wealth of them that have existed for over aR. John Anderson (22:09.124)with really, really thick brick paint that goes onR. John Anderson (22:36.922)Yeah, and I think that the.If the decision about how much risk are we willing to take on, say as a community, that decision is delegated to elected officials and elected officials have staff and they adopt these model codes and enforce them. And the, isn't a lot of defensible territory in the, wait a minute. The rules that you are playing by and you want me to play by are,What's the technical term? Kind of b******t. And I would like to make a case for that. And people get very defensive because I think also people have a really good internal gyroscope for the slippery slope of having to rethink all their assumptions. And they'll put their heels in the ground and it doesn't take much to say no.as opposed to, you you make some interesting points. I would really like to dig into the research on this. I appreciate you brought it to our attention. know, that more commonly is like, look, you make a pretty good case, but if we let you do it, we'd have to let everyone do it. And I know you're a very careful builder, but there are some schlocky guys out there that are gonna make terrible things happen. And we have to protect the public from them. So we're gonna throw you under the same bus we throw them under.So, you know, so a lot of this comes down to how do people perceive and measure risk? How do they communicate about it? And are there benefits out the other side of it that are worth taking that effort? So right now, they're, last count, there are like nine different states that are, that have legislation pending about going to single stair for six stories in a sprinkled building.R. John Anderson (24:36.56)And what that does, if you Google single stair buildings in Seattle, you'll see that the ability to do just one stair allows you to work on a smaller footprint. So it creates a lot of really good infill on 50 by 100 lots or 100 by 100 lots instead of a full half block podium building. The requirement for two stairs anda third of the diagonal distance of that rectangle separating the two stairs. So you got your room to make a choice which stair you're going to. That requirement creates a lot of, and then two rated stair stair assemblies. That creates a lot of corridor buildings to amortize all that common area and all those additional stairs. So they've been building single -story single stair buildings with sprinklers in Europe for a very long time. And it's kind ofit's the established standard for, you know, that portion of the Western world. And so about 12 years ago, there was an amendment made to the local building code in Seattle to allow for single stair buildings. And a lot of them have been built with good success and are perfectly safe. And now the legislature has, I believe, passed it and it's on to the codes commission for rulemaking.The fourplexes don't need fire sprinklers rule didn't make it out of committee. But the but you can see, you know, looking around the country, there's at least nine states that are looking for single stair. And I think that we'll see a similar Montana, you can build a fourplex with no sprinklers in Vermont. You can build a fourplex with no sprinklers. But the.These things end up often sponsored by the local home builders association. In North Carolina, home builders came in with that. It passed in the legislature. It also involves some reduction in the requirements for the energy code. So Republican supermajority got it passed. Democratic governor vetoed it. Supermajority overruled them. Now those areR. John Anderson (26:59.482)Those are supposed to be the rules except that it still has to go to the codes commission and the codes commission doesn't have enough members and members are appointed by the democratic governor. So it became a turf issue about if those guys are for it, I'm against it. Plus, you know, energy codes are for important purposes like climate change. So we can't give ground on that ideologically. So that's kind of the process. And I think that the kind of bottomsupport for these things at a state legislature, you know, one at a time. I think that probably has a better chance than a top -down approach where you make code proposals to the ICC and need to survive the committee review process to be able to have those proposals incorporated in the next round of theI've, I've resisted, I've resisted joining, but I figured out that membership costs this, you know, the same as buying all the hard copy code books, as the non -member. So.Kevin K (27:55.038)Have youKevin K (28:06.398)There you go. Have you seen any discussion at all from the ICC about changing the one and two family to go up to three and four family?R. John Anderson (28:17.808)Not at the ICC in general. There's no proposals currently in the mix. But I think thatIt's a, you know, I only have so much room for research and development and missionary work in my life. the, and my batting average on that is pretty dismal.thought about trying to rally the troops and get multiple proposals in from all over the country. So absent a grant from Melinda and Bill Gates, I don't think I'm going to storm the battlements of a top -down solution.Kevin K (29:09.886)So it wasn't there, was it Memphis that did up to six units without sprinklers?R. John Anderson (29:15.118)Yeah. Yeah. And then it was killed off by the state fire marshal. And so the so the legislative fix to that was to say that the state fire marshal does not have jurisdiction in Shelby County or kind of was like in there, tagged on to some other bill. So the so now you can do six units, no forest reclures, but withtypically two hour separations between units, which is not a heavy cost because by the building code, the sound transmission requirements you have, if you just pick the right wall sandwich, you will exceed the two hour fire rating by the time you get to the sound transmission coefficient number of 59, which isthe minimum between units and multifamily.Kevin K (30:14.43)Isn't it mostly just like a double layer of Type X drywall on both sides?R. John Anderson (30:18.352)Yeah, typically double layer on resilient channel or double layer on double studs with air gap. So, you know, and it's 5 -8, two layers of 5 -8.Kevin K (30:27.912)Yeah, okay.Kevin K (30:33.65)Yeah, and the whole scheme of things that's cheaper than the sprinkler deal.R. John Anderson (30:38.5)Yeah, it's also the, just makes for a much quieter unit, you know, which is a benefit that your residents would see as a good thing.Kevin K (30:46.034)Yeah, no doubt.Kevin K (30:53.586)Right. Right. So we've talked a little bit about, you know, the sprinkler issues that relates to three, four, five, six plexes, that sort of thing. We've talked about the single stair exiting possibility. What else are you seeing that like small developers should be really aware of when it comes to, or like red flags when it comes to other code issues besides what you might see in the zoningR. John Anderson (31:18.698)the, one of the things that you'll, it's a confusing problem. all, facial tissues are not manufactured by Kimberly Clark called Kleenex, right? But if you said pass me a Kleenex, people know exactly what you're talking about. The brand name has become kind of the generic name. The same thing happens with accessibility requirements.the Americans with Disabilities Act governs basically places of public accommodation, commercial offices, retail, movie theaters, universities, hospitals, state capitals. And the Fair Housing Act governs the accessibility requirements for residential.and you need to have four units or more to have that building be covered by that set of standards. So if you were going to have four units in a fourplex, two up, two down, all of the ground floor units would be required to be accessible, adaptable. That doesn't mean they have to be accessible when you build them, but they have to be adapted to be accessible in a reasonable period of time if someone with a disability wants to rentSo what that turns into is doors with enough clearance, lever hardware, enough backing in the bathrooms to put in grab bars, enough space between appliances and counters, and be able to get into the building with a zero -slip entry. So we typically build porches, you know, two and a half feet over the surrounding grade. And the way that we handlethat adaptability issue is in a fourplex with a raised floor. The ramp you put in goes down the side of a narrow deep building and brings you up to the front porch elevation. So, and you don't have to do that until someone shows up and wants to rent that, you know, is in a wheelchair or whatever. So, but the people can, a lot of people conflate accessibility for residential with ADA.R. John Anderson (33:44.634)people talk about ADA requirements as if that's all of the accessibility requirements. So for small developers, it's important to understand if you did a mixed use building, the commercial on the ground floor is governed by the ADA, although there's some square footage exceptions for certain things. And then the units upstairs, if you decided to put all four units on top of the commercial space on the ground floor, as far as the Fair Housing Act is concerned,the second floor is now the ground floor, because that's the first place that housing occurs. So now you either need a really big difference in grade or an elevator, which you're not going to amortize over four units. So the better play is to put one unit, however small or modest on the ground floor, because in a non -elevator building, all ground floor units need to be accessible, adaptable, all one of them in this case.Kevin K (34:41.534)John, what might an elevator cost in round numbers, just to by way of thinking aboutR. John Anderson (34:47.504)Well, there's like the base, the cab and the equipment round numbers, that's going to be 50 to 75 ,000. And then you're going to see typically about 25 ,000 a stop in the additional shaft way. And that's for hydraulic. Once you've ever stayed on the fifth floor of a Hampton Inn, that's a hydraulic elevator and you're able tosome maybe some bad life choices by the time you get to the fifth floor because they're very slow at that point. So four stories is kind of the effective maximum for a hydraulic and at which point now you go to a traction elevator which is significant but another 50 to 60 percent more expensive per floor. So again if you are in a situation where you're going to have to have an elevator for market reasons orfor accessibility reasons, you need a lot of units to be able to spread that cost. Because it's not only a first cost, there's the ongoing maintenance and your insurance is gonna go up. But also your construction cost is gonna go up because as soon as you introduce an elevator into the building, kind of all the trades sort of start to move their numbers up or drop out because, yeah.Elevator inspector as an HVAC guy used to doing two story buildings. I don't think I need that guy in my life, you know, because I'm supposed to provide exhaust for the shaft and they're really picky about how you do that. And I just don't do enough elevator buildings to, and I'm busy anyway, you know, so there there's a point where, it's like there, there are buildings that are scaled right for a small developer. And then there's the nextKevin K (36:22.034)Yeah.R. John Anderson (36:45.104)which is a significant bump in the number of units, the cost, the overall scale and complexity of the project. there's, and the folks have a, often have a mistaken notion about that being same as, you know, that's the same as, as the four townhouses I built, just 40 units with an elevator and corridors and fire sprinklers. What's the worry? You know, you know, if I'm going to do four units in this town with all the brain damage I got to go through, I may as well doYou know, so now I get to raise more money. It costs more to build on a per square foot basis. My rents have to be higher. Everything sort of starts to snowball in complexity and scale. And what you should have done as a small developer is instead of, you know, swinging for the fences with that home run, that great project that now you don't have to work anymore. You should do a series of small projects and have a portfolio that is made up of things that.You weren't just doubling down until you lost everything. And you see conventional developers doing the same thing. it's like, you know, if I'm going to, you know, in California, it's probably the best example. If I'm going to do 400 units, may as well do 4 ,000 because the environmental litigation will cost about the same. You know, and also if I can get the stuff approved now, because the barriers to entry are so high, I can definitely make money on 4 ,000 units.400 is kind of sketchy, I don't know, it's a small deal.Kevin K (38:17.534)Yeah, I was just having this conversation with a couple of developers, friends the other day here and like in our city. Like there's just, there's no, there's a lot of great discussion and talk about reform to enable small scale stuff. But when you actually put pencil to paper and start to do a project, like the, the review machine has no mechanism to handle.smaller scale stuff or at all. And so everything pushes for bigness. And it's frustrating because there are a lot of us who I think would like to do some smaller scale stuff. But know, John, this is one reason like you developed, you created the 4F building prototype was to really kind of help smaller developers understand like a hack around some of these different codes.R. John Anderson (39:12.622)Yeah, and that's around the same time that, at that time you could in Texas, Idaho, Nevada, and a few other places, you could build a fourplex without, fire sprinklers. and those were some of the very few places during the great recession that you could build anything. So, it seemed to make sense. What's happened since then is that the fire sprinklers will, you know, the form follows finance fourplex really at this point should be two duplexes on the same lot or.a four unit cottage court or something. David Kim was really instrumental in hacking the code to come up with the three story single stair walk up. And that could be a mixed use building with one unit on the ground floor and then no more than four units on each of the second and third floor and had a maximum exiting number. So we kindIt's kind of like working an investment strategy around the tax code. You know, it's like that's that we're going to have to fit this box. And what we found was that you do wood frame construction. You could do a tall ground floor if you needed retail. And you could do either nine units, four on each of the second and third floor and one unit on the ground floor, the rest commercial, or you could do 12 units all the way down to the bottom, or you can add additional units on the ground floor as long as theydirect access for exiting on the outside wings or something on the back. So that type is getting a lot of traction. The same time Eric Brown and Union Studio had developed similar buildings using the same analysis of the code. So there's a number of those that have been built.That one of the benefits when you're doing a small multi -family building with fire sprinklers and the like is that you, if you're only doing four units on a floor, the common area is basically the stairway at a very large landing. So you end up with maybe four, about six to 8 % of the building area is common area compared to the 15 to 18 % you see in corridor buildings.R. John Anderson (41:36.752)So got to pay to build it, you got to pay to clean it, maintain it, insure it, et cetera. And so being able to reduce the common area, being able to reduce the number of stairs, together buildings that would fit on a 50 or 100 foot lot opens up a lot of opportunities for three story buildings and for mixed use. But again, ADA for the commercial and Fair Housing Act for the rest.Kevin K (42:04.712)Right. So it's really kind of funny because I think I don't think I ever really learned about the Fair Housing Act until you and I started working together, which was, you know, easily almost a decade into my career as an architect. And then we started like looking at the Fair Housing Act. There actually are some interesting workarounds besides like the ground floor thing in the Fair Housing Act. So one or two that I want you to talk about the townhouse rules for fair housing.But one I remember is I think it was adopted in what 1983 and it exempts all buildings built before that year if I remember right. 91, okay.R. John Anderson (42:45.127)1991, May, March of 1991, March 30th, 1991. So if you have an older built.Kevin K (42:48.902)Okay. It's almost like you'd memorize that or like tattooed it somewhere.R. John Anderson (42:53.712)You remember back in the early days of computers when offices didn't have IT people and whoever had figured out how to stay on hold for three hours with Dell computers to get a technical support answer?Kevin K (43:13.534)or was like me, was like the 18 or 19 year old who just grew up with computers, that was the IT person.R. John Anderson (43:16.644)Yep. Yep. And the fact that you could figure out how to download a print driver, you were now the go -to guy. And the more people came to you and asked for help with their print driver, the more problems you solve. the, you know, the fact that you never got a raise because you were the de facto IT guy. So these days for our own purposes, we have dug into this stuff. And then you start to look around and say, wait a minute, not everybody has done this homework. No, no, it's likeKevin K (43:23.228)Yeah. yeah.R. John Anderson (43:46.126)No, we're really busy and it's really hard and really complicated already. You know, we already have the building code and the fire code and everything else. Fair Housing Act. Jesus. So the, so I really, I have a hard time passing up on a chance to reduce my sense of imposter syndrome. It's like, I really am a legitimate guy, you know? No, no, I've read this. Let me send it to you, youDid you read it? No, I didn't. just took a word for it. So no, you got to read it and tell other people about it. You know, it's like, so you, you, ended up coming across as some sort of, you know, uh, crazy person, you know, the kind of people who nailed their 19 thesis to the door of the church and Wittenberg kind of guy, you know, like, uh, that was not my intent, but it's sort of evolved thatKevin K (44:40.072)So anyway, one thing I remember, so a great workaround in the Fair Housing Act, I've had a lot of people over the years talk to me about, have like a old historic mixed use building and they don't want to, they're scared to renovate the upstairs for residential because of what they say ADA, just like to your point, it's not ADA, it's actually fair housing. And my point was no, you're exempt.R. John Anderson (45:06.212)You're exempt. One of the problems, those buildings are covered by the international existing building code, which gives fire officials and building officials a lot of latitude about how you get to the intent of the code, how much effort is going to be required given the level of renovation you're doing. And that same sort of metric is appliedaccessibility upgrades for places covered with the ADA, know, more than 20, you know, can you devote 25 % of your budget to accessibility? Well, $25 ,000 in bathroom upgrades doesn't go very far. It's pretty easy to do. But when it comes time, when, when, uh, the current building code says, if you have residential occupancy over mercantile or business or, know, anything else, that's a big.hazard and now you need to have fire sprinklers because it's under the international building code. International residential existing building code says look if you can put another layer of drywall on the ceiling and create a two -hour rating around the stairway you're good you know. Also you need to use a firecock anytime conduits go through a through a rated floor orA lot of building officials are not ready to, you know, to learn about how much discretion they have or why they should use it in order to be able to get those second story apartments back online on Main Street. So the so even though it's in the code that they have adopted that this could happen, they're not trained at it. They don't get any practice at it. It basically, you know, goes through kind of the code egg sorter. Let's you know, you're spending this much money. You're now you need to bring it all up to code.So in those settings,R. John Anderson (47:06.434)Eric Cromberg is probably the best person to talk to about what the international existing code will allow you to do if you can explain it to the people enforcing it. And I think it's important to do that before you submit your plans with your code analysis and your stamp and wet signature next to the code analysis that says, I really do know what I'm talking about. Please look up these sections.You need to, you you need to talk with your building officials about the intent of the code and the like. And have you seen this section of the, know, you have to cultivate those relationships so that people trust you rather than they feel like they have to defend their turf. So, but the, the, the townhouse exemption and fair housing act is two story units are exempt from being covered by fair housing act, which.accounts for some of the enthusiasm for building rental townhouses.Kevin K (48:07.868)Yeah, yeah. And can you stack them then?R. John Anderson (48:12.75)No. No, if you stack a townhouse now, that's two units between, even though they have a firewall, once you put two units into a townhouse, now you're into fire sprinklers.Kevin K (48:24.86)Okay, yeah. Yeah, that makes sense. All right, so yeah, so just again to clarify a little bit in case we're making people's heads spin a little bit. I think it might be, but like when you talked about the international existing building codes is yet another code that's part of the model code family and it has to be adopted. I don't think like my city has adopted it. I think there are a lot of local governmentsR. John Anderson (48:36.624)I think the odds in that are pretty high.R. John Anderson (48:53.392)I would, if you look, it's in there in the alphabet soup of adopted codes. Most, most folks.Kevin K (48:56.188)Yeah. Okay. But it was, it was created, okay. It was created for the express purpose of making renovation of more historic buildings easier.R. John Anderson (49:07.588)Yeah. And the, all of the, the, the best parts of the international existing building code are all the paragraphs about intent, you know, and if you're sitting down with a code official about that, said, okay, so this says the intent is this, can we agree that that's, you know, that's a good intent? And if we can get, if we can satisfy that, you know, this project, can we get to yes, you know, the,But folks in those kind of positions don't want to be called out for being wrong or dogmatic or they wouldn't want to be characterized as Pharisees, which is usually the word that's like, I'm thinking that really loud and I'm in those meetings. The blind guides. So I think that it's about building relationships with the staff that are dealing with that.And I think in order to get to that point, small developers probably need to international residential code compliant buildings and establish trust with their neighbors so that you've built that foundation of support and you're blunting some of the opposition that might come if you're looking for some kind of entitlement later. But if you're just asking for building permits,build your track record and build your trust, be the person who does what they say they're going to do. Hire local folks, train local folks, create enough daylight in between you and the big production builder from out of town or the developer from the other side of town where you are, if this is going to happen, we would rather our person do it. Janine is the person who's built all those great carriage houses in our neighborhood.And we would like to see her be able to continue to do that. So we think that, you know, it's reasonable that we should, you when she renovates the old trolley stop, mixed use buildings, she shouldn't have to put in fire sprinklers, youKevin K (51:19.954)Yeah. Yeah. And to kind of put a last piece on it that is ever much so fun is there's the human element to all of this. And I was, I actually saw a tweet this morning from our friend Aaron Lubeck about, I think a builder friend in where he is in Durham had a project submitted and one staff reviewer for some, I can't remember the exact story, but there were like two different staff reviewers or code reviewers on it. And one of them came back with likeNo,R. John Anderson (51:53.264)Hard to get good help.Kevin K (51:54.686)That's OK.R. John Anderson (51:57.216)I'm being protected from marauding squirrels on the telephone wires.Kevin K (52:01.022)I fully understand. But basically, one staff person had no comments, and another one came back with 25 comments. And so there's a human element to this that the people who review your application and are looking to apply the building code may end up with very different interpretations of what is required and what is not required. So John, advice on how to navigateR. John Anderson (52:27.182)Well, the plan checkers and the building inspectors report to the chief building official. And that's a position that you have to identify when you adopt the building code. You know, you're, you're, you know, that's a job description that, that has to get filled. And sometimes that person has many other responsibilities, but there's somebody identified as the last word as the chief building official. Appointments with that person.and conversations about intent and, you know, demonstrating that you're trying to build something that will be safe and reasonable. And that you're trying to get to the intent of the code. If you can build that relationship,if you're sideways with a plan checker, it's like, well, we have, we have two very different opinions about this. Can we bring in the chief building official to, you know, break the tie or maybe advise a different approach? You know, are you okay with that? It's like, it's, it's, you know, it's not personal, you know, I definitely think this is working and my, my architect who's responsible for the safety of this building until the end of their natural life,that person, you know, has signed off on it. The city's got no liability here, even though you believe it does. So we think we've got you covered for liability. We think we've been responsible as professionals. How about it? I mean, come on, you know, but you need to build that relationship demonstrating that you are not not someone who's, you know, given to tantrumsor calling city council members, city manager, you're not gonna go over their head. You wanna work it out within that smaller circle. The day you go overhead, you go up the food chain, you can mark that day because now from now on, all your plan checks are gonna be given extra scrutiny and given to the most senior person and the most careful person in the group.R. John Anderson (54:41.014)More difficult is the situation where somebody will pick up a set of plans that are pretty much done by a junior person and then redline it and say, no, no, it has to be like this. And your conversation likely when you get your plans back is going to be with the junior person who can't actually articulate what the senior person did. And it's quite possible that they were wrong.but now you got that extra layer to go through. So to be able to get to the person who can say grace on the whole arrangement and build that relationship and demonstrate that while you have that relationship, you're not always going to pull that card. You're not going to do it for every little thing. And it's like the...There's kind of a quick sorting system that plan check and building inspectors have. If this person is basically doing a good job, I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt because they're consistently doing a good job. If this person is a jerk, I think it's my duty to protect my fellow building inspectors from this monster.You know, and I need to actually maybe cross the line a little bit in order to be able to put this guy in his place because he never read the code. You know, so the, there's a whole lot of high school hallway one -upsmanship that goes on usually between males. I think that female building officials and female contractors and developers typically are more rigorous instudy and their presentation and their communication skills. and I think recovering elementary school teachers who've become small developers, their communication skills are awesome because their expectation for human behavior is fairly modest.Kevin K (56:41.662)No doubt, no doubt. All right, John, before we wrap, any final words or thoughts for people to think about as they look at codes?R. John Anderson (56:53.602)Well, I think that particularly for small developers, it's really important because of the level of complexity and kind of the possibility that code issue will just stop your project altogether. It's important to become, don't leave it to your architect to be the last word on the code. It's OK to have spirited discussions about it. ButGet Francis Ching's books about, you know, the building codes illustrated or the international residential code illustrated, which when you read the code, there are a lot of things that you end up making a sketch or a diagram. So you see if you've got it figured out because it makes references from one section to another. You can't just hold it all in your head. The great thing about the Frank Ching books is that he's made those drawings much better than youand they communicate really effectively and you can bring that into the meeting. don't subcontract code compliance to somebody else because just like you wouldn't subcontract your personal guarantee on the construction loan to someone else, it's that serious. And start with small projects. Make small code problems and solveKevin K (58:10.386)Yeah, noKevin K (58:16.638)Yes, some of us may. We may learn to take that advice one day or maybe not, who knows.R. John Anderson (58:24.448)Well, I have a steady stream of I told you so's on any day of the week. So I'm happy to help people out with that.Kevin K (58:33.054)Yeah. All right, John, thanks so much. this. All right. See you later.R. John Anderson (58:35.994)Sure, take care.Thank you. Get full access to The Messy City at kevinklinkenberg.substack.com/subscribe

Heavy snow over parts of Central Rockies Wednesday night intoThursday.There is a Slight Risk of severe thunderstorms over the Plains andMississippi Valley from Wednesday to Thursday,There is a Slight Risk of excessive rainfall over parts of the SouthernPlains/Lower Mississippi Valley on Thursday.A front extending from the Northern High Plains to the Great Basin willmerge with a front extending from the Upper Great Lakes to the SouthernHigh Plains overnight Wednesday, moving to the Southern Plains andSouthwest by Thursday evening. The western boundary will produce coastalrain with embedded thunderstorms and snow over the Cascades throughWednesday morning. Snow will also develop over parts of the NorthernIntermountain Region, Great Basin, and Northern Rockies Through Wednesdaymorning. On Wednesday, an upper-level low will develop over the GreatBasin. The upper-level low will draw moisture northwestward from the Gulfof Mexico. Heavy snow will begin to develop over parts of the CentralRockies Wednesday afternoon into evening.Furthermore, the significant and long-duration winter storm will developacross the Central and Southern Rockies beginning Wednesday, followed by around of heavy snow for the Southern Rockies and Four Corners regionThursday night.Further, snow probabilities are high (greater than 70% chance) for atleast 1 foot for most of the Colorado Rockies, the Front Range Mountains,the Foothills, and the Palmer Divide. Localized higher amounts areexpected and could exceed 2 feet across the Front Range Mountains (30-50%chance). Confidence is also increasing for a significant snowfall for theI-25 corridor and snow probabilities for at least 8 inches are high(greater than 70% chance).A second phase of the winter storm will impact the Four Corners Regionbeginning Thursday night. Waves of heavy snow will impact the terrainareas north of the Mogollon Rim and northeast toward the San Juans andsouthern Colorado Rockies. Snow probabilities for 8 inches are moderate tohigh (greater than 50%). Localized totals above a foot are possible forthe higher terrain.Hazardous to very difficult travel is expected as heavy snow and intensesnow rates at times (1-2 inches plus per hour) will lead to deterioratingtravel conditions beginning Wednesday and Wednesday night across theCentral/Southern Rockies and beginning across the Four Corners regionThursday night.Moreover, on Wednesday evening, as the front begins to merge with theEastern Front, showers and severe thunderstorms will develop over parts ofthe Central Plains/Middle Mississippi Valley. Therefore, the SPC hasissued a Slight Risk (level 2/5) of severe thunderstorms over parts of theCentral Plains/Middle Mississippi Valley from Wednesday through Thursdaymorning. The hazards associated with these thunderstorms are frequentlightning, severe thunderstorm wind gusts, hail, and a few tornadoes.Additionally, there is an increased threat of hail two inches or greaterover parts of the area.Furthermore, overnight Wednesday, showers and thunderstorms will expandalong the front from the Central Plains/Middle Mississippi Valley into theOhio Valley/Great Lakes and extend into parts of the Southern Plains/LowerMississippi Valley.On Thursday, showers and severe thunderstorms will extend from the MiddleMississippi Valley to the Southern Plains/Lower Mississippi Valley.Therefore, the SPC has issued a Slight Risk (level 2/5) of severethunderstorms over parts of the Middle Mississippi Valley to the SouthernPlains/Lower Mississippi Valley on Thursday.

Sia works for a London law firm that conceals the wealth of the superrich. Max's family business in Mexico―a CIA front since the 1960s―is a farm that breeds high-end racehorses. They pose as a couple to target Vadim, Putin's private banker, and his wife, Anna, who―unbeknownst to CIA―is a Russian intelligence officer under deep cover at the bank. As they descend further into a Russian world dripping with luxury and rife with gangland violence, Sia and Max's only hope may be Anna, who is playing a game of her own. Careening between the horse ranch in northern Mexico, the corridors of Langley, and the dark opulence of Putin's Russia, Moscow X is both a gripping thriller of modern espionage and a raw, unsparing commentary on the nature of truth, loyalty, and vengeance amid the shadow war between the United States and Russia. 1145-1200 2/2; Moscow X: A Novel by  David McCloskey  (Author) FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 1/2: #Eisenhower: The December 1953 UN Speech ""Atoms for Peace was the origin of proliferation & What is to be done?

Full Hour | In today's second hour, Dom welcomes back Tiffany Justice, co-founder of Moms for Liberty, back onto the Dom Giordano Program to discuss a new initiative the organization is employing concerning antisemitism taught to children. Justice explains this comes after the prevalence of pro-Palestinian protests on college campuses, with many indoctrinated young adults calling for the eradication of an entire race. Justice explains the curriculum taught in public school that has led to children holding principals that are strictly anti-American, telling how this ties to her continued fight against the infusion of Critical Race Theory teachings in schools. Then, Dom tells about a new push by a Pro-Palestian group to boycott Jewish businesses, and how it ties to Philadelphia's Working Families Party. This leads Dom into a deeper conversation about the situation in Israel. Then, in Dan Time with Dom, Dan asks Dom how often parents should wash their children, and tells about a new movie that's surpassed Taylor Swift's concert film in theaters.

You get caught on skid row filming nowadays what happens scan. So then we get mad, right? So anyway, he's like, look, you can come in, but you can't bring the.So I just, I got, so I walked out the 10 and nobody goes, Hey, did you get any dope out of that tent? And I go, yeah, he goes, man, two guys just passed out on the fed died or something. And I was like, well, you know, I'm, you know, maybe I got problems though. All right. So hold on. Sorry. All right, listen, that's true.Esteban, uh, the Cyprus tell us the high point of working on the Cypress hill documentary and exactly what are it, what is the subject matter besides Cypress? So what are you actually capturing? Yeah, man, I'd say the high point is finishing it. And, uh, um, what was the second part? What, what is it about all that it's about, uh, 30 years of their career?Um, you know, uh, in the beginning we tell a little bit of the story of where they all came from. Uh, Sen dog came from, uh Goolwa and then Bobo was a. He's Puerto Rican, but I think his family came from the east coast and landed here in LA mugs was from New York. Then he later on came to LA and be real, was born and raised here in LA.And then, uh, the way they all met up and how they did the group, you know, put the group together and shop the deal. And, you know, from there on, it was just, you know, like a snowball and when, so we're now in a new era of kind of like filmmaking, I think, where it's not right. So when Showtime time, or how did that project come together?Well, um, well, I've been, uh, trying to do this project for maybe 10 years and, uh, it took Ella originals to bring it back to me or bring it to me because, uh, you know, I think the homeys probably thought like, ah, Maybe I could do music videos, but maybe not, you know, pull together on a full, full feature movie.I know for a network. And so they had other people in mind and uh, other people working on it, but that didn't work out or those guys didn't come through. Right. So, uh, Ellie originals came out and, and they were like, Hey, what do you think about, you know, maybe you working on the document. I was like, you know, it sounds a good idea to me.Right. And, um, you know, just got right back right back to it. And, uh, it feels kind of like, um, my original idea would be to do like a four-part series. Like a Jimmy I've been in Dre did, uh, the defiant ones kind of like do that, but on the solar Sassons cause you know, we have, you know, so much, so many different people in our group, in our crew that.Uh, you know, there, there they're artists that are, you know, go, go through all the different forms of art from music to film, to, um, fashion and then art film and video. So we got people in all those different realms of art, and I thought it'd be cool to do a documentary from there. And then, because there wouldn't be enough time to tell all the stories, then we break it off and go into individual stories like Cypress hill, meaning cartoon, um, the house of pain, you know, like, uh, uh, the rest of the crew, you know, the, the dilated peoples and the funk dubious.And, you know, there's a chasing Cron, Don, you know, there's a lot of different, uh, you know, uh, there's James Khan, the hooligans with, uh, I mean, uh, Scottie con and Al you know, Scotty's James concert. Right. So, you know, that there's that big, uh, uh, you know, big, how would you say, uh, like they, they left a big mark in the film industry, right.In film and in TV. And then, uh, you know, they're calling alchemists one of the greatest producers alive, you know, those years. So yeah. You know, our crew goes deep into every different, uh, form of art. And, um, and I also got members that are kind of like part members from other groups. So you got these, like the Rizza you don't, or like their part soul Sassons kind of too, right?Yeah. I mean, you know, mugs did albums with pretty much everybody in, and he's done remixes for, you know, huge people and, uh, also too. Anyways, well that didn't work out, you know, doing it that way. So we, we went to, we did LA originals and so I feel kind of like, this is kind of like part two, but, you know, we're, we're moving up to right where I wanted to start.Right. But it's going, it's going the opposite way, but it's still, it's still delivering you a place that you're able to tell all the stories that you want to tell. Yeah. You're the one that can only tell those stories. You want to be able to get them out. This is heading that direction it's still on is I would say maybe more than 10 years that he's been talking about multiple documentaries, this in particular Cypress hill souls, but there's a bunch of things you've been talking about for a long time and, you know, but I think it's also jumaan if you were there, like maybe some of us are there, this is the ultimate example of.Letting go and not trying to force somebody to do something your way and to just back up, let go, and just continue doing your craft. Yeah. And eventually, you know, even with people that are close to you, sometimes they need to see it in different way to be receive it. You know? And I think what he's talking about is really what happened.Well, LA originals drops and people that he's, you know, two seconds from now are seeing him at different light, just because it's been brought to you through Netflix. Another thing that I want to kind of like point out is that Esteban's been focused on this thing for like decades. Right. And in, in, in, in w when you're sitting there like chilling with your friends and stuff and talking about bullshit project, Well, that's the one that's been focused on is almost a no brainer when you pitch it, you go like, well, what about a documentary about Cypress hill?Or what about LA originals? Meaning cartoon, right? That's a no brainer. Like you don't really no brainer now. No wait, but wait, but what I'm saying is, is that it's a no brainer even five years ago, really? For us. Yes. For us. Yes. But the point of the matter is, is that it's a project that anybody, it makes sense.And then, but Esteban's been on it for a long time. So what happens is I've experienced this even with just talking to U S Devonta, talking to people that are around us, I've experienced situations where people are like, all right, let's make this film tomorrow. Right. Right. And then, uh, Esteban's like, yeah, it doesn't necessarily work that way.Yes. Right. Do you understand what I'm saying? Oh, there's people that have been in something maybe four or five, six years. Right. And they're frustrated because they want the thing made already. And it doesn't go like that all the time, man. I'm all the time. Mostly doesn't go that way. And so, and so I don't have a lot of experience with it.I know you step on that and I know you do because I've seen it time and time again, person just sees somebody on fricking Netflix or whatever, and they think like, oh, so we can just make that tomorrow. They don't realize the thing that hit Netflix is 10 years in the making 20 years or in the making. So that's the one, I mean, you've got a very, um, I would say crafted style about your persona and you don't, um, just stipulate, outrageously or yell necessarily.And people around, you got all these brilliant ideas that you've already thought of and tried to get them excited about 10 decades ago. And now they're coming to you. Like it's a new idea. How do you remain so Zen about it? Is it the facial hair that kind of has a Japanese twinge to it? Or how do you do it?Um, I would just say, I just keep it moving. You know, I get up every day, hit the sun on the ice and think about while I'm there. That's about an hour and a half, two hour, a little ritual I do every day. That's when I think about what I'm going to do for the rest of that day. Um, you know, of course I think about all the shit that I have coming in the future, but for the most part, I just think about today, you know, cause we all know, all we have is today, yesterday's gone.Tomorrow's not here yet. So I just focus on today and, and the bigger picture, but, um, you know, fucking there's, there's never enough time in the day for me, that's for sure. And uh, I got a lot of, you know, I was looking at this, I was looking at this, uh, at this trailer. From Elliot original started off as a project called Inc the movie.And I'm looking, uh, it was 15 years ago that we put that trailer up on the, uh, up on YouTube 15 years ago. Yeah. Hold on. That's whenthat's, when, uh, you know, that's when that's, when somebody put that up on YouTube, but that was when that was that late originals. Right. And, uh, the, uh, a friend of ours, Sebastian Ortega, the one who, uh, you know, locked in that deal, he came and he was like, Hey, man, I want to do, or I want to do ink, you know?And, um, you know, of course we had to change it cause they molested the fuck out of that word, in that industry. We, we, you know, uh, we put it together and came up with LA originals and, um, Hey, how did you come up with the original song? It was really easy. Um, it was, uh, it was, you know, a bunch of homeys sitting around, um, and, uh, was, it was me and, uh, Adam and the homie Bobby, and, uh, maybe one or two other people.And we were just throwing around names and Adam violet Brown's son, he came up, he he's like, well, why don't you just call the LA originals? And they're like, yeah, why don't we? And then we pitched that to, to the, to the team and everybody loved it. And we went with that. Um, and if it fit perfect, cause it's like, not only is it me and cartoon, we were born and raised in LA and, but the whole movie is about LA.We've done in LA and about LA around the world. So it was like that shit just locked in perfectly. And, um, I forgot where I was pulling it out perfectly. Yeah. And that's kinda what brought this people needed to see that all happen. Oh, you talked about it because people just think that it's made just like, but now, now that we're kind of in the zone of LA originals and a little bit of the putting together.I think another thing that's, uh, is interesting is that big lap right. Was in LA originals. Uh, and now I am famous deep in it, deep in it. And now here he is famous. Right. And, um, what are your observations where he was and where he is now putting you on the spot as the Vaughn, don't be waving your hand.Yeah. And unconscious unclench your fist. No one's doing, you were just on the show a week ago or whatever it was and it's already played. So whatever anyone heard in that shows what they heard. Hold on. I'm sorry. I just want to ask you, Hey listen, go ahead. Go ahead, please. Certain things that him and I know outside of this microphone and the thing that I don't, you know, like, like go here, whatever, is this a fucking meeting or is it a show about this, bro?You tripping. It's a scare. You, it does it scare. You do whatever you gonna to do wrong. I'm just, I, listen, this is a longtime friend. He's tried to quit winking. No, because the last time I fucking talked to him, this is my I, every time I get I'm getting blown out of the water. And now you got usyou were talking about things. We just got them to go hunting, but this part of it. Yeah. But like I got my son on here listening to him. I said, look, can we justyou to go hard on me? I ain't tripping on that. I just tripping out. You know, like, no, no, no, no, no. Don't tell the truth. No, no, no. As Davon knows how to be prudent. This is a man that's man, longer than you think. So. What does that mean? What did he say? And prudent. Fuck his mother running everybody over the you ain't fruit and bro, look at this.There's a whole lot. Cause it's like quiet dude. Do whatever fucking duct tape Smitty and throw him in the back. Don't distract us with Schmidt. Now he's waving a red flag. What was the first question? The question was Esteban. You've known him a long time and we saw. Uh, I think maybe challenges that, um, big lip was facing in LA originals.And now here he is. Um, are, do you have any observations or concerns or thoughts about, um, welcome back dreaming only on peacock. Can't wait to start junior year saved by the bell is back and taking school spirit. Our Bibles just destroyed our mascot. We're going to crush valley to the max. If we don't learn from the past, we are doomed to repeat it.Reboots of teen Charles, from the nineties, you had a new idea. Hollywood saved by the bell new season screaming. Now let's do this baby only on peacock. Uh, he's still going through the same challenges, you know, like we all, we all do all have been, um, you know, at any second, any one of us could. Go left when we should be going.Right. And, uh, yeah, we always, we all got one foot on a banana put on life, you know, so it's like, you know, anything could happen at any time. And, um, you know, I see a lot of my friends going through struggles and challenges and, and pulling through it. And then, uh, there's some that haven't, you know, recipes of my homie Egypt, he passed away.Um, you know, there's a, there's a bunch of, you know, we've all lost a bunch of friends and family members due to, you know, everything that's going on right now. Um, but I see him left, uh, you know, he's, he, uh, everybody has a 50 50 chance that everything with everything, you know, it's like, what do you think the chances are?You're getting you doing this or that 50 50 that I'm going to where I'm not, you know, so. Um, there's no guarantees and there's no, uh, you know, for sure things. So it depends on, uh, you know, however much work you put into it. That's what you get out of it. Sure. So I take them in order. Um, um, I feel like LEP, well, let me put this way.There was a period of time where I felt like lip was putting in a lot of work. Right. And then all of a sudden, it seems like the work's not there. I was saying, put in the work, you get the results. You don't put in the work and you don't get the results. Half of the work and half Hashem, you're going to get some FAFSA shit.If you want to like visually, like, if you want to ask the question, like, do you feel that you did black lacked on the worker? You're like, bro, I think I lacked, lacked on a lot of other stuff. I didn't just get lazy, but I seen something that happened to me last night. You ain't got to do all that. You look good anyway.Stay in your lane anyway. So anyway,Yeah, it happened to me last night, you know, there was just like, just so much shit happening and that's, and that's, I was talking to somebody on the phone. They're like, you need to just fucking shut that door and worry about yourself. And maybe you're at a point in your life where, you know, you did what you had to do for those men, you know?And I started for me to like, have another individual telling me that, you know, but no, but wait a minute, you fell. But how about when, the way that the program works in like an honesty situation to where, even though I messed up for six months, like you keep looking at it, you know, like for fucking a long time, oh, well you weren't using in this picture.And I fucking, you know, swollen, I'm fucking swollen. I'm like I was three months in a run in this picture. So it takes a long time. It took me a minute in order to. So fuck shit up. And people were noticing that a real close to me there. They were like, next to me saying, is everything okay? And I'm like, sure.Everything's, you know, really in there. And I can see it in their face. Like even a step. I was like, no, everything. Ain't okay, motherfucker. I've known you. I've known you for so long. And then this dude next to me, by my, yeah, the homie right here next to me, he kind of knows what, I don't even look at peanut butter, but he's just hearing my voice.He was like, it was the fuck on me. Like you don't sound right. I know that voice. We know we both like, you know, I've never shot dope with you. How do you know my voice? He goes, cause I shoot dope and I know the voice. So what's going on. Can you interpret that, that we just got a long one as soliloquy from a big law.How do you, how do you interpret what he just said? Um, that, um, I would say that he knows what he, what he did. He knows what he's doing and he knows what he has to do. To get back on the right track. Now it's all about applying everything. He knows just your measure, which is that hard work that you were talking about.Right. You know, cause it, it ain't easy and, uh, you know, uh, He just got to get back to it and it's no secret, no big deal. But, um, but in a way there is, there is a secret because it hasn't reached certain levels in that thing to where I want it to be like, I want to go and just like, make the drastic announcements and do that.But at the same time, I also I'm preparing myself because they say that you have to be honest in all your affairs in what we practice. I practice the 12 step program. Yeah. But I don't, if I were here to suck, he was like, well, you haven't been practicing the right fucking way. None of this shit would have happened.I don't think maybe we just listened to my leaders. He's got 19they know something about not picking up exactly where I got that. Steve, I see you leaning in a certain direction. Right. And then I'm looking at you interpret things, you know, big, big left to what are you hearing? And big lips, you know, He's doing, he's doing better. He, and I think like left, like if someone said he knows what happened, right.And, um, and, and he knows what he has to do. I mean, he'd been knowing this information for a while now, but at the same time, you know, I think that it's, it's applying the information. Maybe it's in the way that you apply it. It needs to be applied maybe differently. The way that you're setting it up. A lot of times it and me the same way I come at sobriety and it lies.And then it falls apart. I guess I started looking at what I was building and I kept on building it unrealistic unsustainable way. Or, you know, like, I don't know. And I really doing the work. I don't know. Esteban did you, and with big, big Lux, right. And big Lux has been through ups and downs or whatever he struggled with.So do you see a similar thing with your friends where you're like, man, they're putting something together, but, uh, but why does it, sometimes it seems like the threads get lost or whatever it is and you know him for a long time. So yeah, probably all of them. I think all my, most of my friends are the same type of person.I don't know. It's weird. Uh, I think, uh, I don't know, but they're all super creative to make it's uh, like when they put their mind at something like a creative idea, it comes out, you know, real, it comes out sick, you know, what, what exactly what they were telling me, maybe even a little bit better and. It's it's a cool process to watch.This is not cool when you know that they're there in their lows and people are, you know, people are getting hurt and not, not like in a physical way, but feelings and shit like that. Yeah. That's not cool. Um, It's, you know, it's, it's been part of the story the whole time. It's part of all of our story and we all have been living it and it's, you know, it's all real life, you know?I mean that, that part of it's real. And when, when big LEP came through last week and he was talking about what he was going through, he, you got choked up a minute there. And I got to tell you mid showed up for like a weeks, man. Like it says, it's just like, if you see me up every day, like really like this one here, this one's heavy, you know, 'cause people hit me up.People hit me up that I don't even know right. People from Milwaukee. And they're like, I almost started crying. I cried when I heard big. And so this, this, this, I think about that. And I'm like, man, there's nobody, these two guys are still on big, big Lux and big Lackey. I've never seen it maybe in a few occasions, but these guys are beloved.Like in any scenario that they're in, they're creative, but also they're like, people love that. Yeah. Right. No, I trip out on that. Cause motherfuckers hate on me and I'm doing I'm fucking doing all my shit. Right? Like tell the Indian to shut the fuck up. I can just imagine if I fucked up, that'd be like trying to kill yourself.Right. Like, oh man. How about a typical day walking down sunset. They'll be like, people will stop me and be like, where's lucky yet. I'm like, eh, like he's people. He knows that. I don't know. Like, I don't know. He's like, um, when she went left, when, when they said, when I was talking about all my close friends, this is kind of what goes on.I started thinking about the group friends. It's like. Yeah, it is man. And the stem on is definitely the one is the, um, he's the, uh, what is it? The common denominator in these, right. So a lot of people close to him, we lost some of them along the way. You know, some never came back. Some are busted, some are out here trying to figure it out somewhere in a sober living and, and right.But they're struggling with this thing. And, and Estelle on is like the, in many ways been the anchor, right? I mean, he was right. He goes through all the shit. And so, and he does it without catching a lot of fucking, uh, attitude about it. And through it, he's dealt with good friends, telling a fuck you and all that shit.And he just fucking, then they come around and apologize. But I'm saying, me looking at all that we can, all that. I got to a place in my life where I wanted to stop. Like when the clock turns and it becomes the lucky show. Now everybody's scared. Lucky's fucking up lucky. I got sick of that time coming. And it being the lucky show again, like I'd rather be one of the glue pieces in this, right.I'd rather be the guy that doesn't disappear and that's not bad. I can able to do small chunks of that, but I haven't been able to do that for a long, consistent stretches. And I'm trying to be, I'm not trying to be, that's the guy I want to be today. That's just accountable and be there more like a Stevan he's one mandate for a long time with a bunch of different dudes.Okay. Something that I've learned from Estella. And I don't generally talk about learning from people because I'm a fucking know it all show off faster, but no, I don't. But one of the things that God's love is true, but one of the things I learned from Esteban is to respect. To respect the amount of time you stuck at something because maybe in the first five years, people might not have been, but Esteban has stayed with a certain thing for so long and been so consistent at it for so long that he's built up a body of work and material to break through certain barriers.And when people look at them and think like, oh, well this is just a, you know, overnight success kind of guy, or it's now it's the Latin turn for media. So will, so here's Esteban instead, it's more like Esteban did it when people believed in it, when they didn't believe in it, when they saw the value in it, they didn't see the value, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.He was there with a camera and his fucking crew day in, day out. And I take that. I actually apply that when I think about my firm, I think about that. I don't think like I haven't seen this guy ever stopped working. Right. But I'm talking about even on trips to Japan and Vegas. Like we could be walking down to go get breakfast in the morning.I an hour asleep and it's still going to be sticker and shit promoting your shit. Yeah. Every minute. I can't do that. I have to be able to unplug like some other shit get lost on switching, but he is doesn't matter. He's either answering email, putting shit away. Right. He's pulling out the stencil to hit the curb and like, why you're just having a conversation stopping from spray, painting the floor right here.But people are listening. Like, what do you mean you guys are still trading on the fucking so yes we are. I think, I think I was getting mad at it for a while. I was getting mad at it, but I was getting mad at the fact that for so long we were doing shit and nobody was getting it. Right. But at some point in time, you give up and you're like, this is, I don't care of anybody.This is just what w what I do. But I think that there was some idea maybe in a Stefan's head or somebody that Avengers. The brown or that is going to get an opportunity at this thing. And whoever kind of has been staying true to the game and collectively, and I think that that kind of happened when, when that did kind of show up our Stefan, he had everything to back it up.I mean, amen is, I mean, everywhere we go was being documented. A lot of shit was being documented, was always being photographed, man, everywhere. We have a development session right now with the master Esteban Oriel guys got fucking show on Netflix, Showtime, um, and a lot more coming. Uh, he, well, he's starting his own streaming platform called Esteban Oriel channel when rival HBO, Esteban Oriel channel,just poached paramount. No, no, no.he posts, he put. He knows hoax. Listen, can I talk, can I tell him, Hey man, poached, one of the executives from paramount, their league president is working for us tomorrow. Do you want me to take those or you want me to add 17 million to guilt? If you want to borrow money, buy oil. Okay. I need some juice.juice, juice, money. I was like, are you Andy? I'm happy that I'm happy. I'm happy. He got the deal with the studio. That's in my neighborhood.Guess what? All of a sudden that's the on your parking fees are going to go through the roof. We know you're going to put theI went the other day to them. Look, don't be coming. You know, causing trouble? No, you gotta be cool. All the free coffee you want a big left over atnine 11. everybody where we always want free shit, man. I don't think that I always want free shit, motherfucker. What are you talking about? I always try to give free shit. I should get you against free shit, man. You would just ask him for juice money as two seconds ago, that's go back to the development.Let's go back to the development. You got a creative genius and we're wasting congrat Hey car. Now what? Wait, wait, wait, can I ask the question different way from developing the shell? Um, you can ask Anthony, you can talk about that, right, please. So he says that, uh, Esteban was always doing stuff when no one knew like it was going to pan out.And I can't just say. It'd be unfair to say that, that, um, there wasn't, it was cartoon. It was a stab on that. And, and, and the whole look, and the whole thing was, was being done and nobody was, nobody wanted to fuck with it. Everybody's scared of it. Nobody gave him any credit. Like that was the majority you guys have this whole thing, nobody getting it and leaving it.They had to go to Japan to do the first, there are two of their photo and his drawings because nobody here wanted it monitoring. But later years later, when I'm saying, it's like, oh, that shit is where the whole everybody went to. And I used to be burned out about it. I used to be like, man, these motherfuckers wouldn't listen.You know, like we've been showing them that shit forever. But as the, on his remained, not that guy, he doesn't do that type of shit. He just stayed cool. Because when you're holding four ACEs, you can have patients in a poker game. Right. But when you really do have it, you ain't tripping and he really has it.Right. Did you always believe that it was going to pan out of that? Um, yeah, just a lot faster. I thought I was gonna, I thought she was going to go through, but then I was like, so invested that I couldn't quit. I was like so deep in it. I was like, I'm not pulling out now. Remember it, remember, listen, you know what I'm saying?So it's like we met when he talked about LA originals, when it finally came through and it looked like it was going down south by Southwest and then COVID hit or something hit. And it was like everything, every little daydream that you were having was just getting smashed and you think you broke through it?Bam. And it even ends up that it, it was right for it to go down. But this is why, now that we, now that the gas is in the car here, now that I'm choking on his fucking corner. And now that the gas is in the car and we've got a development, hold on, developmental genius here. That's the one. Why don't we, why don't you think about what would you.Okay, because we know gold. What would you do to create either a docu-series or even a show around big Mac key? What would it be called? How would you approach it? What would it be? All of a sudden left peace, quiet as a mother fucking church, right? I'm talking about church hill Butler, no church house mouse.Now forget that. Let's get back to your shows. It's trying to make a star out of you. Let's go. Well, wouldn't be as like one of those, um, continuing continuous showers. Yeah. What would it be more like? Um, it'd just be a straight out documentary. Like I have a sizzle reel that I did of, of and another one about DACI.Cause, uh, I've thought like those would be cool. Little breakaway stories from LA originals and those. Two stories outside of me and cartoon that got a lot of response. A lot of people gravitated towards those, those guys. Yeah. Because you know, I mean, they both been through a lot of shit. Right. And, um, that's what I was telling.Lipkey the other day I was like, amen. About a year ago was the best I've ever seen you, you know, in, in the 20 something years that I've known you, you know, you have the five years clean, you're managing all those, you know, sober livings. You're the manager, your house, you were going to school to get your, um, what's that thing called the, the counseling for drug and alcohol addiction.You got one level, but you got to go to level to where Smitty's actually got to do the homework and then he'll go to the next level. Yeah. Maybe he's just trying to get some frequent. So I was telling him I've never seen. Better than this should've been. Yeah. But this true, you are the healthiest in, in physically that I've ever seen him.My healthiest in his head, he was helping, you know, a lot of people all around the world that were getting at him because they saw him in LA originally, it was like, Hey man, it's building up a following. Yeah. W you know, you, you inspired us a lot. And, and I have the same type of issues that look like that you had in that, in the documentary, you know, what can I do to change?And he was helping a lot of people that were just getting at him through Instagram. And, you know, now it's like a worldwide nationwide thing. It wasn't just, he was helping people in LA cause before he's. Yeah. He, you know, when he'd get clean and sober, he'd help people in LA that are, you know, in direct contact with him.But now because of social media and all. He's branched out worldwide, you know, so I think the, uh, the, that, uh, a documentary on him and his whole story with would be inspiring to a lot of people. I agree. And, um, and I have a lot of footage of him, you know, in the dark places and, and in the light. And, um, that's what I'd tell him, man, because of my age, we should film this shit, you know, that you're doing, he was like, why do you want to feel now when you know, I don't, maybe I don't want people to see, you know, me doing that kind of shit.Homie. That's the shit that gets people's attention and you're doing it anyways for no reason. Right. So why don't we do it? And then with a reason, you know,no, there's a reason you're doing it, but there's no, there's nothing coming out of it. Except you just going deeper into the shit, going deeper in the rabbit hole. So there's, you know, uh, something positive out of it. Right. What I'm trying to say. Right. Getting all the negative out of it. That's for sure.But you know, why don't we document a little bit of it and get something positive out of it for later? You know, I don't even like doing it. Like I, I'm not, I'm not cool with watching my homie do fucked up shit to himself. Right. But I will throw myself, you know, on the fire, uh, you know, to, to get that shit.You know, for the, for the project overall. Well, the shaker getting the story. Right? Right. So, uh,you're good with all that rightnow. So this is what he says in rebuttal. That whole Sherm would look like a glazed donut. Okay, go ahead. Well, again, again, listen, listen. This is what are we using? Wait, what'd you say lip? I have your first.Okay, so we're at the . Hey, Hey, here we go. He's got a question for Smitty Smith.Everybody know you. Ain't gonna, somebody goes, Hey. Yeah, it was a problem with that thing. And then I got somebody else. I've got me go. That was one clip of you talking. I don't understand what you're saying. I hear that every day for hours circles,this is what I hear. I drove you to fucking LA you know, it's the true, like really? Because I've noticed a lot of things in my life that distracted a lot of individuals in that right there that ain't never going to stop. Like shiny. Good. Hold up. Thank you anyway. Right. Welloff and they all start firing off.anyway. No, no, no. Personally, I learned a lesson. Imagine if you died, that's what you'd be hearing all the way up. You'd be like,let me know when you're ready. Look, bro. Look, bro. Remember the baby, right? He wouldn't do it.where's the baby Ray who was here? He was doing and doing the fucking back arms. Yeah. I love sweetie. We're going to go look for baby. I need it. I'll give you his phone number. You can go right there, here, Smith. He's got something to say. She made a, what do you have to say? Chocolate shop? Yeah. Yeah. I heard, I heard that Jan Sussman is doing a documentary, this street of streetwear.Yeah. And he said they already did one of those. Right. That's what I heard, but they didn't get all the right people. Yeah. But, uh, Jan's doing one says that he's going to be getting you on talking to you and, and talking about some of that stuff. What, uh, what's going on with the stem on Oreo apparel right now.And, uh, and what's going on with joker brand brand coming back slowly? Is it wasn't? Yeah, like, like everything, I never quit anything and I, uh, just keep doing, you know, consistent. I still have a, I still have a joker Europe. Right. Going strong a long time. Yeah. Tim out there and joker Europe does everything, right?Like as far as, uh, the way he does shit for the brand. Um, for so many years, I had a fight with all of our partners, you know, that the Chinese investors and the Israelis, and it was always a struggle, you know, I always had to like, uh, you know, plead my case with them when they didn't know shit about what I was trying to do or anything.So it was like, I was always hitting a brick wall with every, everybody that we, you know, ever worked with. So now it's just me, you know, I. And I have Tim over there in Europe, he's doing it. He knows exactly what to do exactly how to do it. And he does it perfect. The, you know, he does a little bit better than me because that's his main focus.That's all he has to do everything. He's not doing books or Henry's, or, you know, taco trucks or none of that shit. He's just doing joker Europe. Right. But, um, you know, for, for me here in LA, I shipped to, uh, uh, we have a guy in Thailand who distributes to us. We have a guy in Taiwan, a couple of guys in Japan, um, Canada, Sheila Peru.So, you know, I have, I still have, uh, you know, people all around the world, distributed it and selling it in a time where. Everything is online. We, I still have people, you know, getting it out there in their area, which is cool. And then, uh, you know, I do my thing here pretty much. I sell it in on, uh, at Brooklyn projects and Nixon, Myrtle in Highland park.I love LA. Yeah. I love LA sells. And Steven Oriel do incredible for me, you know, that I always, like, I used to go in there like five years ago and just be like, man, it'd be crazy to get my LA stuff in a, in a store like this, where it's LA base, you know? Wow. And somewhere where people can go in and really get the shit, you know, you might sell a lot of product to them in the best places, fucking the airport, you know, dude it's so it was really smart that they opened that place.Yeah. Wow. And they had, you're like your number one thing, right? They, I do good there. It's just cool that, uh, you know, I used to go in there and think that I should be here one day, you know, it should be in here. And then I saw like homeboy industries get the bakery there and, uh, earth cafe and all these different places.We're getting these spots, trail tacos, you know, like, you know, 10, 15, 20 years ago, you would never think any of that shit ever be in the, in the, in the airport. Wow. So when I finally, you know, this guy reached out to me to see like where I could, if I, if they could, you know, do something with me in that store that I love LA store.Yeah. I was like, man, fucking here it goes, you know, it's happening finally. And, um, he made that connection and the shit's been going great ever since in there, except during the COVID when the whole airport got shut. Yeah, right. Fucking Esteban Oreo joker print. It's not Joe, the books, the photos, the films.Right, right. And then your, all the other shit, but wow. So had stolen. You busy dog grinding for 20, this drops on HBO, right, man. Did I'm excited 30 years and watched the shit, your house or what? Oh yeah. Well, we're going to try and get a little, uh, screening going on somewhere for the homeys that we can all go and celebrate, you know, somewhere at a movie theater, where of course they let the homie smoke, smoke some weed.So Simon movie puts a little bit where they ever, that might be the spot where they do a brain dead. Right. Or, uh, you know, someone. Maybe when a Quentin Tarantino spots, but definitely, uh, I went and saw, uh, um, the song remains the same, the night that is Jimmy page's birthday. So it was a very January 8th at 12 o'clock at night specifically?No, the, the one on Beverly that's combining go to that and Beverly in the Brady theater. And so I went and watched it there. The owner was like, we're going to play it loud, you know, so you can really enjoy the music. But I mean, for me, I would, uh, order a little bit extra sound package, you know, cause, um, it wasn't loud enough and it wasn't clear enough.I wanted to hear that shit, like at a show, you know? Yeah. So I'm thinking like if we do something for the Cyprus project, you know, we definitely have to bring in a little bit of extra sound. So I know a guy you get to hear and feel that fucking, that shit. You know how a guy, oh, blue eyes is an audio engineer.So I think it'd be cool to do screenings for the home, man. That'd be awesome, man. You know, he could really be great, bro. What do you think? Oh, what is leptin? No, bro. What do you mean? No.What I will do is I collect the kitty. He wants to collect the kid, he at the end, and then what these fuckingshit doing, guys getting all bummed out. They DD big money comingin and out in, and the numbers don't change the format. Bull G Hey shit, motherfucker. Shoot mine. Yeah. What we're going to do? Okay. This is what we're going to do, man. What are we going to do? Are you going to eat a hot dog? When you go watch the movie eat a hot dog. Now my blood pressure goes up.my blood pressure. I just fucking sticks a mess up my ass. Damn.secrets. Oh, Hey, what's going on today is step one. It to the taco truck, the LA originals taco truck to this tennis tournament over there. And I want a religion tennis tournament. Yeah, we do it all. Hey dude, is that the Esteban Oreo open classic tennis tournament? No, not yet. We're working on that right now.Right? Is there anything you're not doing? Um, yeah, there's a light Oreo taco truck. Are you guys just popping up at special events right now? Yeah, me and Paige, we just roll up to the events that, you know, we know people get it. Cause I mean that whole industry that talk there, that the food truck shit is just a shit show.You know, there's like so much out there. Right. Many out there. And like you just, you just can't roll up and think like, oh, I got these pictures on the truck. I got good food. I'm going to make thousands today. You know, it's a hard thing to break, but we kind of found our niche to get us off the ground. And that is to go to a people, events that know us, they get it and they want us there.Right. So it's, you know, it's kind of, it's just the way that we're going with that right now. And we don't want it to be out. I think you have a great taco, great product. And if anybody has any inquiries that wants to really fucking jump into a big, nice restaurant deal with these guys, I think we're going to sell on Oreo LA original tacos should be a restaurant who did Kenny Rogers roasters.They're working with Esteban right now, trying to see if they can do a version of that with Esteban Oriel, with all that go for them. It went well. But what they want to do is do your. Copyrighted protected LA fingers image that everybody tries to steal. Right. And turn it into a dining experience. That's what I understand.Now I got to tell you guys to be honest and I, you know, I'm sorry. I don't mean to, but so hard, like talking to Esteban and then in behind us Davon, I see. . Just like twitching and twisting and he's smoking this gigantic, babe. And so like, Esteban's like, well, yeah, I was working on this thing in 10 years and finally like this, and then he's back there, like a little flipper, like he's like a little Manatee, like, like he's a little Manatee with little hands and it's a belly is an arm rest like a Simpsons character.He really does do it. It's kind of scary. It's like, uh, it said little bit, you said you were going to drive with us and we were still waiting on that. Hey, it'd be better if he went withHow about this? Cause I was thinking about it. I'm like, I think you should give, asked him on all access pass to your life, big lap to document it for time. . I would say let's do it because I liked the idea, dude. I'm telling you right now. See the movie where you need gas money. I don't need Jack shit. I am self I'm.Self-made super motherfucker. Let me tell you something. Leprosy the movie. You asked your question and then I let get the movie comments done. And now we are, we're sharing the movie. Okay. Share it. But I'm telling you right now, Esteban, I'm telling you this guy right here is one. Here's some wonder to build one in a zillion.That means that means that it's so weird. You know what? I'm going to tell you. This is my personal feeling. The reason why you listen, the reason why you're able to make the mistakes that you've made in your life is partially because somehow you have the blessing of, of charisma. Like people like you, they really like you.And everybody wants to see you do well. And it gives you a lot of room to make mistakes, bro. And you got big ass bumpers and you need this finally capitalize on it and finally respected. what would you make you feel? Who you make you feel that I'm not respecting myself doing what I know what to do? Well, we just talked about fucking tools.They're not sharp. So I'm taking advice. I got calling people love, like, and then my sponsor says you did the wrong call. You're supposed to cover it for you already. I was already loaded in my head. Way before I put any type of dope in me. I know you're not a psychiatrist. I am actuallyoh, I actually am. But, but, but let me just say something to you big for real, and this is on the real, all the joking aside and everything. I'm going to tell you for real, for me, and this is not really for everybody else, because I truly believe everybody's sobriety journey really is a particular eyes special onto themselves.Okay. I'm really serious about that. But I will say this, the one thing that seemed to things that seemed to give me longterm sobriety, I'll let, I'll let that pass is. Yeah, it's what it is, but here's the deal one. I made a decision in my heart that like, you know what, if I die sober, but I'm never financially celebrity, whatever successful in my life.That's still a success. Of course. Don't say, of course to me, brother just don't do it. No, no, no, no. Just listen to just take it in. Can you take something in for watch, besides, besides what we both know you took in when at one time we went crazy last time. All right, so that's one. Thank you. So, oh, I'm sorry.Just, it's not, it's not exciting enough for you, my friend, maybe if you listened, you be in a different situation right now. Robin asked me, I'm not asking you anything right now. I remember the situation I needed to be. Right. But I'm just trying to tell you the truth. One is it's a success. If I don't pick up and die and two, I don't pick up, I don't care about what's going on in my life.You can say whatever you want from your position, you are arguing. But are you humble enough? Don't give me that. Look, let me hear if I'm humble or enough, are you humble enough to actually take advice? That's destined to help you? That's why I'm here. Is that why you're here? I know you got, cause look, I asked Yvonne that man's is success.Look at us. He's in a success or role. Do you get him fucking no, I didn't say about I'm sorry. Can I talk to myself? Is that cool? You, I mean like all the DMS that I've been getting on you lately, but I'm used to being hated, bro. I don't even worry. I'm like, would you like being hated? Don't try to distract.Try to distract. I'm just saying, well, we've tried to talk to you and you got something specials. All I was trying to tell you, that's where I get a loaner because I always have all the answers that don't get me. No. Well, you know what I think too, I think too is like, you know, that you know, that people like a stamp on it taking ETA that dude take your time to shoot the, uh, your, your, you know, do the trailer on you and get you out there with your writing and bring you in the car, all that stuff.And then, uh, you know, people set up shit. And then when you give, when you go to decide to go get loaded, now, how about some kid going to be taking you? Don't be, you don't be thinking about what that man did. He's trying to set you up to win. And when you do that, it's that fuck. Cause we need you to feel like you're so far in this fucking thing, that you're part of the team now, so that time's going to come and you don't need to go out on the fourth floor.We need you in have everybody in a certain way. I'm not just sitting there, consider myself, have we all like, really realize in your own thinking that that to care for others and to care for yourself to maybe like somebody like got at me and they're like, you need to stop fucking caring for others and start caring for yourself or that this was talk.That's probably the case for you. Since you were 16 years old, he should've been . I only give a fuck about nobody. Yeah. You got to take care of, first of all, let's not get, let's not get killed. I'm saying let's not, let's not get confused on DMS from people they live in your life. Let, let the truth of the matter is is that you sh you have gifts that you should take seriously.And you're not, that's all I'm saying, right? That's really what I'm saying. You're not taking yourself. You're doing is. The pupil, right. It's fucking with people. Right. But, but, but see, but, but, but the issue is, and that's true, but, but let man, I'm talking about, when I talk to you sometimes when I'm being real, I can see that there's a wall where it's not getting through, I've taken this wall down and that's made me the reason why that I know my runner ability to the things that I could be comfortable and get away.One more time. I don't like living like that. I can't lay my head down at night knowing that I'm, you know, lying to motherfuckers and playing the part or you keep shaking them moving, man, I man, yes. Because a big luck, big Lux knows big Lux knows the shoe grind store. And he knows the whole thing. I'm not just saying, I'm honestly telling you that until you take your, with the bullshit.It's bullshit, bro. Yeah, man. Like, like yeah. Well you got to go, well guess what time? Once again, Smitty, you didn't get a shot. Listen. Big lap. My daughter's got ballet and she's got some great I'm going to come home. I love you. Big lap. I love you. And listen. Let's, let's pray for big love right now, dear God, dear Lord, dear Lord, dear Lord, who is in heaven please?No, no, no, no, no. Listen, we're going to pray for you. We're going to pray for you. This is a sincere yes. Can I pray, dear Jesus, please help. And I mean this from the bottom of my heart, with all my energy. Please help. Esteban Oriel get a beer commercial, just like Mr. Cartoon, but like no Corona. No, no, no. But seriously, I prepped for you big lip on many, many, many, many, many, many positive energies to you.Big lab, as much as I like to joke and tease you, the truth is is that deep, deep down. I really believe that yes, something and you've already given a lot to the world and I hope that you can be open-minded and I hope people look out for you. And I hope that God puts his energy around you. And I hope that you can honestly face the truth in your heart.And I hope you can let yourself step up and be the adult man that you were destined to be not the boy, not the kid, not the jokester. The man, not just for you. But for everyone in your life that looks up to you and takes their instruction from what you do is so important. My brother. And so with that, I hope that whatever the universal powers are, they propel you on your way to success and positivity.Now, with that being said, I love you luck. Thank you guys. April 20th.
