Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, Hey there, it's Pat Lynch and Taco Bob
(00:03):
setting sail on a brand new Lynch and Taco Show
off the air podcast. This would be our first one
of the new year, Taco.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Yeah, even though it's the ninth of January, because first
week we're back.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
Yeah. Good, be a good vacation.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Thanks for understanding that if we don't take that vacation time,
it's use it or lose it.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Well that and also so we don't lose our collective minds.
It's nice to have a break from any kind of
job you do for even if it's, you know, just
a few days, just to you know, recalibrate if you will.
So it was nice to be away, and we're glad
you all are here.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
When we returned and you went to you went down
South for a little bit, right.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Yeah, that's I stuck around here for the most part
for a couple of days. I did go down and
visit my family in South Florida.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Yes, yes, I did the same thing. Stayed here and
furthest I went was a new smart of each.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
So obviously the screaming topic as of later these fires
in the last Angelus aria, Oh.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Can we can I show you what I was going
to show you before we get into something serious.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Sure, huh you sure there's no agenda on this podcast. Okay,
it goes where it goes.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
My friend on our regular on the air show, No,
that's confusing, Lynchin Taco Show weekday mornings from five to
ten on w jr R in Orlando and the free
Improved iHeartRadio app. We do a feature called you Say,
We Play It.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
We didn't catch this yesterday, but I was just.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Told about it. I have a typo by our engineer. No,
I want you to look at yesterday's winner. It's it's
the one that has our comment under it. And then
I want you to look at the comment from the
next individual and who it is.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Yes am I reading from the top down.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
No, just look at you'll see one that I responded to.
Look at the next person's post.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Frank the engineer.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Look at where he said he's from Hall So our engineer,
I just saw him.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
He goes, I can't believe you guys didn't talk about
what I did.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
And I go, what do you talk about? He goes, yeah,
you know that.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Thing where you vote on songs and and then you
put where he said I put my vote in and
put down the.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Hall that is where you're voting from.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
It is very funny.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Well what's even better, though, is because if Memories was
yesterday doo Era Black Sabbath, that's exactly okay, that's why
he was motivated to vote. Frank and I have a
classic hard rock bond. If you haven't figured that out
over the last twenty five years, thank you for your vote, Frank,
down the hall. So these fires, dude, this this is
(02:55):
I've been trying to go back and we're call you know,
we always hear about these wildfires. And you know, we've
had fires here in Florida before, but it was in
ninety seven when they were really bad. That was the
worst I ever remember. But even that that pales in
comparison to this situation. It just mushroomed almost out of nowhere.
And then in the course of twenty four hours has
(03:17):
north of one hundred thousand people evacuated mandatory because flames
are literally, you know, coming through your neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
I think the ones that we had in ninety seven,
I mean it was a big deal because I remember
being an Earthday birthday and there's ash and smoke all
in the air here in Orlando, and they weren't even here.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
It was mainly Flagler County.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Yeah, but that didn't seem like it took out as
many houses did it. Wasn't it just a bunch of
land land? Yeah, Which is what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
That's the only that is the only thing that I
could you know, remotely, you know, kind.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Of assimilated to it.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Compared it to yeah too from a personal experience.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
And then of course a lot of folks are pointing
out that it moved really quickly, like the Maui situation
the other year, where you know, the thing starts and
it's not gonna stop until it reaches the ocean, which
in this case, you know, one of those fires, that's
exactly what it did.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
This is that's what I thought of. I didn't even
think of the fires in ninety seven. I kind of
forgot about those, but I thought of the Maui fires obviously.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
You know what's got me the most here is these
fires aren't even out yet, and all this analysis and
criticism of try to pick apart every little aspect of
this just it blows my mind. It's like, look, can
we let these folks try to get these fires out first,
(04:43):
and then if things were done wrong, or things could
have been done differently, or maybe there's things to change
to prevent this in the future. By all means, let's
talk about that. But Jesus man, take a step back
and let these folks try to get this thing under control.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
But pat you have to remember, porters have to do
their jobs. I love the one trolling one that you
showed me this morning.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Well that's the problem when you go now that we
live in this twenty four to seven news cycle, and
you're right, you're absolutely right. It's a situation that they've
brought upon themselves. When you're just going wall to wall,
as they call it, coverage, and people are tuning in
at any given time, that's why things repeat, and they're
stretching to try to find new stuff to bring up
(05:29):
and talk about. So people who are hooked and watching
will continue to watch. But it opens up to all
sorts of other stuff that really has no bearing whatsoever
on the true emergency that's going on.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
But the trolling one. If you get a chance, google
la fires troll and it should pop up. I can't
say what it is.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
On the air, but dude, we're not on the air.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
You know what I was saying, It's just I'm not
rolling dice today.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
It's let's just say, when cameras are live, people will
do silly things. Oh yeah, and say crazy things. And
there's gonna, trust me, there'll be plenty of more of
those that that filter in before this whole thing is
oh gotten done. So oh I would like to give
props on something because it was you know, I was
like so many of us bouncing around just looking at
(06:18):
the coverage and just.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
You know, I'm looking at it right now in awe of.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
The power of you know, what can happen when things
get really ramped up. I was thinking to myself, you
know they keep talking about this happens so quick because
of these powerful Santa anti winds, and.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Uh, you know you ever dealt with Santa Ano wins.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
No I live here in Florida, so no I have,
and uh they are.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
It's it's crazy that wind can blow that much. I
had a flight they had to reroute because of Santa
Ana Wins and we had to take a bus ride
like three hours.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Seeing as most people have not had the experience of
dealing with those, I'm like, wow, what makes this happen.
And the thing it really I was the most curious
about was at night is when the wind's picked up,
because normally, you know, when the sun goes down, if
it's a windy day, the wind settles down as well
a little bit. So no, it's it's the fact, ninety
(07:16):
five percent of the earth, if there's wind, once the
sun goes down, the winds settled down. Maybe not completely dead,
but so yeah, well that's.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Why I said most of it.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
But the other day when we had that windy ass day,
as the brunt was coming through right because there was
a front coming through, it was still because I looked
and it was sixteen miles prior winds at night.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
One of the meteorologists actually took the time to explain
for those of us who don't live out in that area,
how these winds happen, how the setup occurred, and the
end result. Obviously we're all seeing it's.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
In the valleys.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
It didn't have something to do with the valleys. It
has to yes, in the end, it does. It basically said, look,
and he explained the whole thing. He goes most people think,
you know, when the sun goes down, the winds will
settled he goes, and that is for the most part true,
except in just a handful of places around the world.
He goes, like southern California. What happens when you go
inland past the mountains, you get into the flat desert
(08:11):
like areas of inland California, then into the neighboring states
where it's flat, dry and heats up during the day.
And he's like, during this time of year, you know,
these sant Ana winds set up from time to time
where the temperature rises during the day and then falls
quickly at night. That causes air to settle, and he goes.
Once it hits the surface, it has nowhere to go.
(08:32):
It's pushed, pushed and funneled through as you said, those canyons,
and it gains a head of steam in the overnight
hours as it heads out and exits onto the ocean.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
It just keeps hauling ass.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
And it just made it so easy to understand why
these extreme winds were happening at night, why they happen,
how they happen. And then it's very you know, it's
just cause and effect. One little fire in an ember
or two gets is picked up by this.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Thank God that those winds go towards the ocean. Yeah,
because that way at least with these these fires, they're
gonna eventually blow to the thing, kind of like they
did in Hawaii. You you were watching this all day,
were you?
Speaker 1 (09:18):
No?
Speaker 3 (09:18):
No?
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Not, no, I have I had because.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
You were listening to it during the show. Well.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
I was listening to it yesterday non stop for this
because it was unfolding.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
As Oh no, no, it's major news, and.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
I wanted to have the most accurate info that I
could have.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
But uh, the reason why I asked if you watched
it all day because it seemed like you were really
into it, and and I equated that to hurricanes. Remember
after there's a leading up to a hurricane or after
there's a hurricane.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
It's human nature, it's car crash mentality.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
We all do it where you'll flip it on and
go cause you're just like, holy shit, how can this happen?
This is it's surreal when you look at the damage
from a hurricane.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Even yeah, I just you the thing that keeps was
keep hitting me, was you know, all of a sudden,
It doesn't matter who you are that was affected by this,
there's people who just lost everything in the matter of
twenty four hours for no fault of their own. And
I just I would not wish that upon my worst enemy.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
Man, not at all.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
And yet you sit here and you again get into
the hole. Oh, the poor celebrities burned down their mad
You knew that was something. Look, they're people too. Just
because you don't particularly like them, and I don't like
a lot of them, doesn't mean they deserve to have
their gd house burned now, you know. But there's a
lot of hard working people who have now lost everything,
(10:41):
homes that were you know, in generations of folks passed
down from generation to generation gone.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Now.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Yeah, it's just I'm sitting here as as we do
this podcast, I'm watching live coverage from Malibu and it
burnt right to the damn ocean.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
Yeah, it's crazy. It's crazy.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
The healthscape that it looks like, you know, in the
areas that have been burnt out already, it just looks
like there was a battlefield. It's just nut.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
So you noticed a lot of times, and it makes
total sense that it's always the chimney that's still there, right, because.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
That's some bitch is built for heat.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
I mean, I'm looking at because it's chimney and then
they go through chimney. It's kind of like with us
when it was slab slab. Yeah, that was all that's
left of the hurricanes.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
So hopefully the firefighters that are in most cases working
round the clock are able to make a dent in
this thing and get this under control here.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Yeah, sooner rather than later.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
I guess the winds are cooperating a little bit right now,
but they're supposed to pick back up again tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
I think it looks like right now the winds are
cooperating because all that smoke is just kind of settling down.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
And you know, you got to think about it.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
People that even though you can you can pooh pooh,
you know, La and the celabs, Like you said, you
have to remember that there's normal people there too. Late,
people that listen to our show and the people that
we work with have friends and relatives there. I had
somebody I was talking to somebody today that was trying
to text their friends in LA And you know, she's
(12:14):
just a normal girl, the one that I was talking to,
and and she's like put the time difference in anyway.
It was about texting, So well, you think about it,
somebody's friends and family.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
There is one thing to think about though, too, is
Los Angeles is a sprawling, sprawling metropolitan areas. So there's
and this was brought up, and I'm glad it was
pointed out. It's not like all of Los Angeles is
on fire. It's not. It's these key areas these right now,
(12:45):
it's what five six main areas that are burning. The
concern is if those winds pick up all of a sudden, Now,
you could have fires in other places, but you know,
the vast majority of the greater Los Angeles area, you know,
other than may having some smoking, bad air conditions, you know,
breathing conditions, it's not actually on fire because it could
(13:07):
easily come across that way to some people watching.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Yeah, and like you said, it can definitely spread more
because that's how this started. This started with just one
fire and then it was blowing embers. Those Santa Ana's
were blowing embers. Man, those winds are pretty scary, dude.
If you think of how how hot when when we're
in a hurricane and those winds get up to one
twenty and one thirty and one forty, you know, like
(13:31):
when the windows here were shaken, kind of freaks your
shit out because you think I have no control over this.
What can I Because we have control over everything in
our life, we have no control. Santa Anna is the
exact same way I thought when they said we have
to do, you know whatever to lay your flight and
you're gonna have to bust here, I was.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
Like, that was the best for the bus ride.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
I'm ever taken because I'm not getting in a tin
can to fly in this stuff.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
We wish nothing but the best to the firefighters out
there trying to, you know, get this thing tamed.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
So then there's the other thought. Watching this footage, I
see it where they're showing all this stuff just leveled,
and as they scroll down, this lady's been walking down
A one A and you know all the houses that
run or walking down pch and the all the homes
(14:27):
that are gone, and then all of a sudden she
comes up to the end of where she's going and
there's homes. Yeah, so you think it's like the hurricane
thing or a tornado where it rips through and there's
one homes, good ones.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Not imagine being someone who had to evacuate out of
your neighborhood and you don't know yet until you're actually
given it all clear to go back. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Get that analogy that you were telling me earlier.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Yeah, I put my I tried to put myself an
envision being in this. When I was driving home from
work yesterday, I thought, if I turned into my neighborhood
and it was I saw fire everywhere, like, what the
Hell's going on here? And you know, you're driving down
is very intimidated, and you're heading towards your house and
(15:12):
you see half your neighborhood on fire. You know, the
first thing going through you, Oh, my god is my house.
I couldn't imagine having that that sense. He's terrible.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
I have had that before.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
When you remember Charlie Francis and Jean came through and
I was looking at footage of New Smurta Beach.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
Remember they had to they closed the bridges because the
height and all that shit and what.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
But I had to go drive over there and see
what the property is like because I couldn't call anybody.
It was a condo, you know what I'm getting? So
driving up and I remember my brother, one of my brothers,
said he goes, hey, you know what, how about I
go with you? He goes, cause that's gonna be a
lot to handle. And when we're driving down in that
(15:56):
case A one A and you're looking at all these houses,
it's just like we saw here with Charlie, but this
was after Francis or Jean, one of those actually, and
you just looked at because that wind just wouldn't stop
and the storm wouldn't stop. Remember the one that just
you looked at all the houses, roofs tossed everywhere, got
down to my condo, I'll be damned, there's the entire
(16:19):
roof of the entire condo complex thrown back into the
neighborhood behind us. So not only damage that damaged everybody
else's homes, but if you're going back and it's your
actual home, like you're saying, do.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
Exactly what Lynch said.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
Picture driving back in your neighborhood right now, and all
this went on, and you're finally able to get back
in your neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Not knowing if your home is there at all, and
it would be a horrible, horrible feeling.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
Oh god, I can't even dude.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
And then on the reality front of things here, boy,
this is going to do even more wonders for the
insurance to that exists for people who own property in
this country. You know, now you've got the hurricane situation
in hurricane prone areas. Now you've got what's gonna be
billions and billions of dollars, you know, in damage and
(17:13):
claims on it on the other side of the country
from another you know, extreme events.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
You know it's gonna happen.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
It can be a mess, is what's gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
They're gonna get to the point where they're just gonna say, look,
you're on your own.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
You They're gonna have to.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
There's so many companies dropping and everything that I'm convinced
that they're gonna say, look, man, you can if you
can buy that house whatever and make payments, but you
know what, you're on your own, and we're putting you
in jail.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
If you move out, you're no.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
If you move out when there's a catastrophe, you're going
to jail. If not, you just use your own money
to take care of it. I know that sounds stupid,
but what else was the other answer?
Speaker 1 (18:01):
There isn't an answer, because the vast majority of people
don't have the money to buy a place outright where
you have an option if you don't want to have insurance.
You don't have to have insurance. But if you got
a mortgage a note on the property, you gotta have insurant.
I know you do now.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
But you know what I'm saying is, I'm convinced that
down the roads, with all these natural disasters that are happening,
they almost have to go to a.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
F insurance.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
You're saying debtors jail basically because it you're still gonna
you would still there's not a mortgage company in the
world who's gonna let somebody you lend somebody, you know,
half a million dollars these days to buy a house
and say you don't have to have insurance. If you
default on this or the place gets destroyed, Ah, don't
just eat it.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
No, if the place gets destroyed, your ass is going
to jail if you don't fix it and continue to
pay your mortgage. I'm saying that's the only solution I
can think that they need to do.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
I know they'll never do that, no shit, but but.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
Possibly down I mean, that's where all the people in
the keys do. They're just like they somehow pay off
their houses. Most of them are family homes or they
had them for a while, or the people are loaded,
but they.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
Pay them off so they don't have to have the insurance.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
It's the vast majority of people never be in that position.
So there's no answer. There's no answer, no, no answer.
So it's a come up brother, Hey, would it be
in the new year? And I meant to get to
this during the tech segments on the air really quick.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
Somebody said, Yet so wicked.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
How windy it gets from the air flowing in from
the Pacific as well? Left it first hand or dealt
with it firsthand in twenty twenty two.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
His winds are crazy.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
That meteorologist though, he goes, think of there's sant Ana wins.
He goes, think of breathing. He goes, it's the desert
breathing out at night. Yeah, it pushes it towards the coast,
and it runs through those canyons and it gathers out
of steam, so you know, like a freight training funnel
funnel effects. And then then he I should have pointed
(20:04):
this out to you. He goes, you throw in the
added mix where the humidity dropped to an incredible low,
where it was just there was no moisture whatsoever in
the even the air, and that was just enough.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
To set the whole environment, set the whole thing off.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Somebody uh tattoo wombwell messages on Facebook Live said, we
have your show on every day in the studio. We
love all the random chatter. You guys have UK listeners.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
Here all right on. Thanks for rocking across the pond, bro.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
Thanks for tuning in so here in the new year.
In Florida, some some laws are in place now, and
like I said, I wanted to get to this during
the tech segment, they didn't. Uh have you tried to
surf for any porn lately? Taco Oh?
Speaker 3 (20:52):
I heard about that? What the hell did they do?
Speaker 1 (20:57):
I'll bring it up because most people aren't going to
bring this up because it's it's not a problem. You
would generally tell people that is a problem in your world.
If you pick an adult site and you're in.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
Florida, it's just a pornhub.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Yeah, try to go to pornhub. Do it right now?
Speaker 3 (21:13):
You want me to try to do it. It's show research.
You guys are all proof it doesn't. You're not going
to get there, I know, but.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
I'm just letting them know. When when my things browsers
searched porn Hub. Then I click on the link.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
I got there. Hello. Oh, then it's the spinning wheel.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
You're not you're not your user as you may know.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
You're elected officials in Florida.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
Say that's that's their political spin. But what it is
there's the new Uh Protection Act against you know, it's
aimed to it's the whole thing tied into social media
with little kids and whatnot. As a result of the
social media restrictions now in Florida, a lot of these
adult websites have now taken it upon themselves to we're
(22:00):
not even gonna tempt fate here. Uh, We're just gonna
block any connections from in Florida. Wink wink.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
What's way around it?
Speaker 1 (22:09):
This is the VPNs so so and anybody who is
well hopelessly addicted to porn already knows this. But somebody
who might just occasionally go, oh, you know, I've got
this little dirty sight I like to go to. And
if you try to go to it any most of
them you're it's it's no dice and uh, it just
(22:29):
it's I don't know what to make of that. Calme
tell your wife or husband. Hey, I was thinking about
getting a VPN. Mind, if we a VPN, what.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
Do you need a VPN for? Well?
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Security? You know, you know it's uh, you know, a
privacy thing.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
And why would you have to tell the life.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Just you know, you know what I'm again, if you
if you're married to someone who doesn't know you're surfing
porn and uh you know, and you're hiding it from
them and you change something where you've now got a
VPN hoop you got to jump through and they go.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
Get a vp don't tell them.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
Oh well, I'm just saying this isn't something you normally.
I'm just letting you know. I'm throwing the info out there.
If you haven't tried to access an adult site based
in Florida without using a VPN, in most cases, you're
not going to be able to.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
It's kind of like does he or she know about
your side stash money? You know what I'm saying For
you dudes or chicks, trip anything you would hide from
your significant other.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
This this is the latest glaring example here.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
So there's your answer. VPN.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
Yes, Yes, there's some really good ones. There are free VPNs.
Just know that some of them have data restrictions on
how much you can use. Some of them aren't quite
as secure.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
And it's mainly Florida that's doing this.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
She said, No, there's other states that have the adult
sites have not have locked up just because they they
rather err on the side of caution. And it's interesting.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
I didn't even realize it.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
So I was while we're talking, I'm scrolling around to
different things. Like I told you, I was watching the fires.
Then I went to our Facebook live feed to you know,
read some responses from people. And I looked and I go,
look at me with my feet up on the up
on the board, just wearing socks.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
You look quite relaxed. They're talking.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
I was like, what a schlub that.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
I kind of thought, that's me. Who's the schlub?
Speaker 3 (24:31):
Yeah? You bum? Good lord? All right?
Speaker 2 (24:35):
You ever do that at somebody's house, puts your feet
up on their table without thinking?
Speaker 3 (24:39):
Or if I had it done? Yes, I had somebody
to do it at my house And I go.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
Hey, dude, what move the feet? Who did somebody do
it to you? Or you did it? You didn't do
it to them?
Speaker 1 (24:50):
I have done that. I did it at my mom's
house over the.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
That's you, that's your mom. That's it. It is.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
And as soon as I realized what I was doing,
I took my feet down before anything was said.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
I learned something about shoes on furniture. I mean, I
do it here in the studio chairs because I like
to be comfortable. But I learned something when I was
a kid growing up with my buddy Twitch, his dad.
He came home and we were all, well, they were
all smoking pot. I didn't smoke weed at the time,
and we're.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
In high schools.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
Yeah, actually we were in high school or they were
in high school still and I wasn't, so they were
kind of skipping school or whatever it was.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
But I had I had my shoes up on the
on their kitchen counter like that, not even thinking about it.
Because I grew up with a family of five.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
You lived like freaking ragamuffins, you know, and uh like saws.
And so he had a pool table. They're smoking weed inside,
we're drinking beers and playing.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
Pool and in walks.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
His dad decides to come home from UCF for lunch
and we're worried about all the pot smoke and the
beers and.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
Like, holy shit, dude, to dad, what do you Because
he heard the garage or something.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
Only thing he said, whose fucking shoes are on my counter?
I'm like, I'm sorry, sorry, mister Twitch their mind.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
So none of the other, none of the other stuff
set him off, but that that set him over the edge.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
He goes, no, it went further.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
He goes, we eat off of that, and and just
started laying into me. I'm thinking, could he please smell.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
The pots hook And then he goes, hey, don't think
I don't smell the weed, guys, I smoke.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
That's the dudes, that great, great family you you met
Twitch several times.
Speaker 3 (26:39):
Yeah, those are the.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
He's the one that we were having the rage. And
this is a great story, the one that we were
having a rage and party when his parents were out
of town and a whole group of them decided to
eat acid and two of them were up on the
roof because people were running and jumping off the roof
into his pool right just a Florida passed. Yeah, And
(27:04):
when the cops came, two of them were up there,
including a guy from I.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
Think it was from Virginia.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
It was somebody's cousin was in town from Virginia or
Tennesse on acid on the roof and he was up
there with somebody else, so like two other people. Actually,
they go, what the hell are you gonna do? There's
like I'm talking all the Maitland Pedia, it seemed like.
Then pulls up there, banging on the door and stuff.
And those guys that come to find out later right,
(27:33):
got a running ahead start and jumped for a tree.
One of them missed, not good. Didn't land on a
fence or anything, thank god.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
But why didn't they jump in the pool.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
Because the cops came all around, like around the back too.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
Why didn't you just stay on the roof They did.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
For quite some time.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Then when the cops finally went inside, this is when
they jumped.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
I didn't know it because I was inside. So these dudes, sorry,
give me a break.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
That insurance company calling me speaking to that just asking
me for more more life.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
And calling to let you know they're putting you in
jail not paying your.
Speaker 3 (28:11):
So anyway, they run jump off.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
Dude, the guy from Tennessee or West Virginia, wherever the
hell he was from. He didn't know where he was,
so he jumps. He's the one, of course, that made
the tree. Him and one other guy.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
The other guy missed and whatever. Not good.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
But so they run and get split up. This guy's
running around Maitland, tripping on acid with no shirt on,
doesn't know what the town. You didn't have phones and
GPS is back then, pat He didn't find his way back.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
They had to go out the next.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Afternoon and drive around and found him sleeping in somebody's
front yard, like like two miles away.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
He was just shy of having his picture put on
telephone poles around town.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
Oh god, yeah, dude, he was ripped to shreds from
doing that crab part of the tree cartoon style, down
the tree, down the tree with no shirt on because
they're jumping bull anyway. So that's the one thing when
the cops came in, we're all sitting there and they're
going through and calling people's parents and whatever. Fortunately I
was eighteen at the time, so it didn't matter. But
(29:15):
uh that's when Pinball.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Pete twenty pounds of swinging meat.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Old Pinball is so ripped and a tripping as well,
I believe, and he goes They're they're like asking for
everybody's number. He wasn't eighteen yet, so they were calling
the people's parents that were under eighteen. He's like he
had just gotten in trouble the week before at spring break, and.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
He's like, no, you don't have to. Jeez.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
You know when somebody's just belligerent and dumb, you know,
being dumb. He's got He's saying this for like five
cops and they're like, son, give us your phone number
and your name.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
What eight hundred eat by asshole? Dude. They get his
ass up.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
The next morning when we all I woke up all
the people that were of age and could stay.
Speaker 3 (30:03):
That front four that front four four.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
Your area, dude, pat It was covered on the walls,
all over.
Speaker 3 (30:12):
The floor in black scuff marks from the cop shoes,
wrestling pinball on acid.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
And we're all going, Pete stop and he's like, don't
say my name.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
It was the most surreal night. I know my rights
now he went into all that stuff.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
I don't have to do anything my friend's house, dude,
And it was the most surreal night.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
It felt like a trip and I wasn't even tripping
with all those guys. It was crazy.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
So was the palm tree guy from West Virginia.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
Okay in the end, yeah, I mean probably really cold
and cut up to a hell. I mean, I know
he was all cut up because when we found him,
it's like.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
Just ripped and he's but he's just sleep like this
that kind of almost almost leg hanging.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
Over a curb style like this, like he kind of
just it was like when somebody shot and wore and
they just fall in place. He just probably hit his
wits end and gave up because it wouldn't, you know,
if somebody's not acid, they keep staying up.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
So he stayed up and didn't finally crash.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
And then and then didn't get found almost didn't get
found period because it was getting dark when we found him. Anyway,
started a side branch into that, but that whoa.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
I think we can end our venture adventure and acid
trip at this point.
Speaker 3 (31:38):
That got my adrenaline around it, all right, rebosol my
feet shut up.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
Appreciate you coming up with the title for this week's
off the air podcast. Become glaringly apparent to me what
it's going to be now.
Speaker 3 (31:56):
Drimping on acid roof. I'm kidding, I know what it is,
all right.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
Thank you for participating and listening to our crap, whether
it's here or on the radio station or both.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
We do appreciate. Sorry it was a little girthy today.
We just haven't been on do you haven't done the
podcast in a bit.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
Glad to be back fresh episodes every Thursday.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
Remind me more often to go into some of the
crazy stories and stuff that I have, because you know,
you've said it yourself. There's so many crazy things that
I've been involved with or done that you want to
write a book.
Speaker 3 (32:28):
Down the road.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
Oh I will, Yeah, I'm going to.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
But and remind me during the podcast to go into
different ones as I've had listeners comments. I love it
when you tell these like freaked out stories like the
homeless lady grabbing my grabbing my donger and taking my sandwich.
Speaker 3 (32:43):
Remember, save it for another time.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
I told it on Okay, all right, all right, everybody
having Reuben too, bitch?
Speaker 1 (32:52):
All right, thank you, goodbye, We'll see you next Thursday.
All right, Hey there, it's Pat Lynch and Taco Bob
(00:03):
setting sail on a brand new Lynch and Taco Show
off the air podcast. This would be our first one
of the new year, Taco.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Yeah, even though it's the ninth of January, because first
week we're back.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
Yeah. Good, be a good vacation.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Thanks for understanding that if we don't take that vacation time,
it's use it or lose it.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Well that and also so we don't lose our collective minds.
It's nice to have a break from any kind of
job you do for even if it's, you know, just
a few days, just to you know, recalibrate if you will.
So it was nice to be away, and we're glad
you all are here.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
When we returned and you went to you went down
South for a little bit, right.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Yeah, that's I stuck around here for the most part
for a couple of days. I did go down and
visit my family in South Florida.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Yes, yes, I did the same thing. Stayed here and
furthest I went was a new smart of each.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
So obviously the screaming topic as of later these fires
in the last Angelus aria, Oh.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Can we can I show you what I was going
to show you before we get into something serious.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Sure, huh you sure there's no agenda on this podcast. Okay,
it goes where it goes.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
My friend on our regular on the air show, No,
that's confusing, Lynchin Taco Show weekday mornings from five to
ten on w jr R in Orlando and the free
Improved iHeartRadio app. We do a feature called you Say,
We Play It.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
We didn't catch this yesterday, but I was just.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Told about it. I have a typo by our engineer. No,
I want you to look at yesterday's winner. It's it's
the one that has our comment under it. And then
I want you to look at the comment from the
next individual and who it is.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Yes am I reading from the top down.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
No, just look at you'll see one that I responded to.
Look at the next person's post.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Frank the engineer.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Look at where he said he's from Hall So our engineer,
I just saw him.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
He goes, I can't believe you guys didn't talk about
what I did.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
And I go, what do you talk about? He goes, yeah,
you know that.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Thing where you vote on songs and and then you
put where he said I put my vote in and
put down the.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Hall that is where you're voting from.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
It is very funny.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Well what's even better, though, is because if Memories was
yesterday doo Era Black Sabbath, that's exactly okay, that's why
he was motivated to vote. Frank and I have a
classic hard rock bond. If you haven't figured that out
over the last twenty five years, thank you for your vote, Frank,
down the hall. So these fires, dude, this this is
(02:55):
I've been trying to go back and we're call you know,
we always hear about these wildfires. And you know, we've
had fires here in Florida before, but it was in
ninety seven when they were really bad. That was the
worst I ever remember. But even that that pales in
comparison to this situation. It just mushroomed almost out of nowhere.
And then in the course of twenty four hours has
(03:17):
north of one hundred thousand people evacuated mandatory because flames
are literally, you know, coming through your neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
I think the ones that we had in ninety seven,
I mean it was a big deal because I remember
being an Earthday birthday and there's ash and smoke all
in the air here in Orlando, and they weren't even here.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
It was mainly Flagler County.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Yeah, but that didn't seem like it took out as
many houses did it. Wasn't it just a bunch of
land land? Yeah, Which is what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
That's the only that is the only thing that I
could you know, remotely, you know, kind.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Of assimilated to it.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Compared it to yeah too from a personal experience.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
And then of course a lot of folks are pointing
out that it moved really quickly, like the Maui situation
the other year, where you know, the thing starts and
it's not gonna stop until it reaches the ocean, which
in this case, you know, one of those fires, that's
exactly what it did.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
This is that's what I thought of. I didn't even
think of the fires in ninety seven. I kind of
forgot about those, but I thought of the Maui fires obviously.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
You know what's got me the most here is these
fires aren't even out yet, and all this analysis and
criticism of try to pick apart every little aspect of
this just it blows my mind. It's like, look, can
we let these folks try to get these fires out first,
(04:43):
and then if things were done wrong, or things could
have been done differently, or maybe there's things to change
to prevent this in the future. By all means, let's
talk about that. But Jesus man, take a step back
and let these folks try to get this thing under control.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
But pat you have to remember, porters have to do
their jobs. I love the one trolling one that you
showed me this morning.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Well that's the problem when you go now that we
live in this twenty four to seven news cycle, and
you're right, you're absolutely right. It's a situation that they've
brought upon themselves. When you're just going wall to wall,
as they call it, coverage, and people are tuning in
at any given time, that's why things repeat, and they're
stretching to try to find new stuff to bring up
(05:29):
and talk about. So people who are hooked and watching
will continue to watch. But it opens up to all
sorts of other stuff that really has no bearing whatsoever
on the true emergency that's going on.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
But the trolling one. If you get a chance, google
la fires troll and it should pop up. I can't
say what it is.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
On the air, but dude, we're not on the air.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
You know what I was saying, It's just I'm not
rolling dice today.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
It's let's just say, when cameras are live, people will
do silly things. Oh yeah, and say crazy things. And
there's gonna, trust me, there'll be plenty of more of
those that that filter in before this whole thing is
oh gotten done. So oh I would like to give
props on something because it was you know, I was
like so many of us bouncing around just looking at
(06:18):
the coverage and just.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
You know, I'm looking at it right now in awe of.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
The power of you know, what can happen when things
get really ramped up. I was thinking to myself, you
know they keep talking about this happens so quick because
of these powerful Santa anti winds, and.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Uh, you know you ever dealt with Santa Ano wins.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
No I live here in Florida, so no I have,
and uh they are.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
It's it's crazy that wind can blow that much. I
had a flight they had to reroute because of Santa
Ana Wins and we had to take a bus ride
like three hours.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Seeing as most people have not had the experience of
dealing with those, I'm like, wow, what makes this happen.
And the thing it really I was the most curious
about was at night is when the wind's picked up,
because normally, you know, when the sun goes down, if
it's a windy day, the wind settles down as well
a little bit. So no, it's it's the fact, ninety
(07:16):
five percent of the earth, if there's wind, once the
sun goes down, the winds settled down. Maybe not completely dead,
but so yeah, well that's.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Why I said most of it.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
But the other day when we had that windy ass day,
as the brunt was coming through right because there was
a front coming through, it was still because I looked
and it was sixteen miles prior winds at night.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
One of the meteorologists actually took the time to explain
for those of us who don't live out in that area,
how these winds happen, how the setup occurred, and the
end result. Obviously we're all seeing it's.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
In the valleys.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
It didn't have something to do with the valleys. It
has to yes, in the end, it does. It basically said, look,
and he explained the whole thing. He goes most people think,
you know, when the sun goes down, the winds will
settled he goes, and that is for the most part true,
except in just a handful of places around the world.
He goes, like southern California. What happens when you go
inland past the mountains, you get into the flat desert
(08:11):
like areas of inland California, then into the neighboring states
where it's flat, dry and heats up during the day.
And he's like, during this time of year, you know,
these sant Ana winds set up from time to time
where the temperature rises during the day and then falls
quickly at night. That causes air to settle, and he goes.
Once it hits the surface, it has nowhere to go.
(08:32):
It's pushed, pushed and funneled through as you said, those canyons,
and it gains a head of steam in the overnight
hours as it heads out and exits onto the ocean.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
It just keeps hauling ass.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
And it just made it so easy to understand why
these extreme winds were happening at night, why they happen,
how they happen. And then it's very you know, it's
just cause and effect. One little fire in an ember
or two gets is picked up by this.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Thank God that those winds go towards the ocean. Yeah,
because that way at least with these these fires, they're
gonna eventually blow to the thing, kind of like they
did in Hawaii. You you were watching this all day,
were you?
Speaker 1 (09:18):
No?
Speaker 3 (09:18):
No?
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Not, no, I have I had because.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
You were listening to it during the show. Well.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
I was listening to it yesterday non stop for this
because it was unfolding.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
As Oh no, no, it's major news, and.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
I wanted to have the most accurate info that I
could have.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
But uh, the reason why I asked if you watched
it all day because it seemed like you were really
into it, and and I equated that to hurricanes. Remember
after there's a leading up to a hurricane or after
there's a hurricane.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
It's human nature, it's car crash mentality.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
We all do it where you'll flip it on and
go cause you're just like, holy shit, how can this happen?
This is it's surreal when you look at the damage
from a hurricane.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Even yeah, I just you the thing that keeps was
keep hitting me, was you know, all of a sudden,
It doesn't matter who you are that was affected by this,
there's people who just lost everything in the matter of
twenty four hours for no fault of their own. And
I just I would not wish that upon my worst enemy.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
Man, not at all.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
And yet you sit here and you again get into
the hole. Oh, the poor celebrities burned down their mad
You knew that was something. Look, they're people too. Just
because you don't particularly like them, and I don't like
a lot of them, doesn't mean they deserve to have
their gd house burned now, you know. But there's a
lot of hard working people who have now lost everything,
(10:41):
homes that were you know, in generations of folks passed
down from generation to generation gone.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Now.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Yeah, it's just I'm sitting here as as we do
this podcast, I'm watching live coverage from Malibu and it
burnt right to the damn ocean.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
Yeah, it's crazy. It's crazy.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
The healthscape that it looks like, you know, in the
areas that have been burnt out already, it just looks
like there was a battlefield. It's just nut.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
So you noticed a lot of times, and it makes
total sense that it's always the chimney that's still there, right, because.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
That's some bitch is built for heat.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
I mean, I'm looking at because it's chimney and then
they go through chimney. It's kind of like with us
when it was slab slab. Yeah, that was all that's
left of the hurricanes.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
So hopefully the firefighters that are in most cases working
round the clock are able to make a dent in
this thing and get this under control here.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Yeah, sooner rather than later.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
I guess the winds are cooperating a little bit right now,
but they're supposed to pick back up again tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
I think it looks like right now the winds are
cooperating because all that smoke is just kind of settling down.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
And you know, you got to think about it.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
People that even though you can you can pooh pooh,
you know, La and the celabs, Like you said, you
have to remember that there's normal people there too. Late,
people that listen to our show and the people that
we work with have friends and relatives there. I had
somebody I was talking to somebody today that was trying
to text their friends in LA And you know, she's
(12:14):
just a normal girl, the one that I was talking to,
and and she's like put the time difference in anyway.
It was about texting, So well, you think about it,
somebody's friends and family.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
There is one thing to think about though, too, is
Los Angeles is a sprawling, sprawling metropolitan areas. So there's
and this was brought up, and I'm glad it was
pointed out. It's not like all of Los Angeles is
on fire. It's not. It's these key areas these right now,
(12:45):
it's what five six main areas that are burning. The
concern is if those winds pick up all of a sudden, Now,
you could have fires in other places, but you know,
the vast majority of the greater Los Angeles area, you know,
other than may having some smoking, bad air conditions, you know,
breathing conditions, it's not actually on fire because it could
(13:07):
easily come across that way to some people watching.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Yeah, and like you said, it can definitely spread more
because that's how this started. This started with just one
fire and then it was blowing embers. Those Santa Ana's
were blowing embers. Man, those winds are pretty scary, dude.
If you think of how how hot when when we're
in a hurricane and those winds get up to one
twenty and one thirty and one forty, you know, like
(13:31):
when the windows here were shaken, kind of freaks your
shit out because you think I have no control over this.
What can I Because we have control over everything in
our life, we have no control. Santa Anna is the
exact same way I thought when they said we have
to do, you know whatever to lay your flight and
you're gonna have to bust here, I was.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
Like, that was the best for the bus ride.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
I'm ever taken because I'm not getting in a tin
can to fly in this stuff.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
We wish nothing but the best to the firefighters out
there trying to, you know, get this thing tamed.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
So then there's the other thought. Watching this footage, I
see it where they're showing all this stuff just leveled,
and as they scroll down, this lady's been walking down
A one A and you know all the houses that
run or walking down pch and the all the homes
(14:27):
that are gone, and then all of a sudden she
comes up to the end of where she's going and
there's homes. Yeah, so you think it's like the hurricane
thing or a tornado where it rips through and there's
one homes, good ones.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Not imagine being someone who had to evacuate out of
your neighborhood and you don't know yet until you're actually
given it all clear to go back. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Get that analogy that you were telling me earlier.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Yeah, I put my I tried to put myself an
envision being in this. When I was driving home from
work yesterday, I thought, if I turned into my neighborhood
and it was I saw fire everywhere, like, what the
Hell's going on here? And you know, you're driving down
is very intimidated, and you're heading towards your house and
(15:12):
you see half your neighborhood on fire. You know, the
first thing going through you, Oh, my god is my house.
I couldn't imagine having that that sense. He's terrible.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
I have had that before.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
When you remember Charlie Francis and Jean came through and
I was looking at footage of New Smurta Beach.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
Remember they had to they closed the bridges because the
height and all that shit and what.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
But I had to go drive over there and see
what the property is like because I couldn't call anybody.
It was a condo, you know what I'm getting? So
driving up and I remember my brother, one of my brothers,
said he goes, hey, you know what, how about I
go with you? He goes, cause that's gonna be a
lot to handle. And when we're driving down in that
(15:56):
case A one A and you're looking at all these houses,
it's just like we saw here with Charlie, but this
was after Francis or Jean, one of those actually, and
you just looked at because that wind just wouldn't stop
and the storm wouldn't stop. Remember the one that just
you looked at all the houses, roofs tossed everywhere, got
down to my condo, I'll be damned, there's the entire
(16:19):
roof of the entire condo complex thrown back into the
neighborhood behind us. So not only damage that damaged everybody
else's homes, but if you're going back and it's your
actual home, like you're saying, do.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
Exactly what Lynch said.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
Picture driving back in your neighborhood right now, and all
this went on, and you're finally able to get back
in your neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Not knowing if your home is there at all, and
it would be a horrible, horrible feeling.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
Oh god, I can't even dude.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
And then on the reality front of things here, boy,
this is going to do even more wonders for the
insurance to that exists for people who own property in
this country. You know, now you've got the hurricane situation
in hurricane prone areas. Now you've got what's gonna be
billions and billions of dollars, you know, in damage and
(17:13):
claims on it on the other side of the country
from another you know, extreme events.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
You know it's gonna happen.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
It can be a mess, is what's gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
They're gonna get to the point where they're just gonna say, look,
you're on your own.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
You They're gonna have to.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
There's so many companies dropping and everything that I'm convinced
that they're gonna say, look, man, you can if you
can buy that house whatever and make payments, but you
know what, you're on your own, and we're putting you
in jail.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
If you move out, you're no.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
If you move out when there's a catastrophe, you're going
to jail. If not, you just use your own money
to take care of it. I know that sounds stupid,
but what else was the other answer?
Speaker 1 (18:01):
There isn't an answer, because the vast majority of people
don't have the money to buy a place outright where
you have an option if you don't want to have insurance.
You don't have to have insurance. But if you got
a mortgage a note on the property, you gotta have insurant.
I know you do now.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
But you know what I'm saying is, I'm convinced that
down the roads, with all these natural disasters that are happening,
they almost have to go to a.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
F insurance.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
You're saying debtors jail basically because it you're still gonna
you would still there's not a mortgage company in the
world who's gonna let somebody you lend somebody, you know,
half a million dollars these days to buy a house
and say you don't have to have insurance. If you
default on this or the place gets destroyed, Ah, don't
just eat it.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
No, if the place gets destroyed, your ass is going
to jail if you don't fix it and continue to
pay your mortgage. I'm saying that's the only solution I
can think that they need to do.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
I know they'll never do that, no shit, but but.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
Possibly down I mean, that's where all the people in
the keys do. They're just like they somehow pay off
their houses. Most of them are family homes or they
had them for a while, or the people are loaded,
but they.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
Pay them off so they don't have to have the insurance.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
It's the vast majority of people never be in that position.
So there's no answer. There's no answer, no, no answer.
So it's a come up brother, Hey, would it be
in the new year? And I meant to get to
this during the tech segments on the air really quick.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
Somebody said, Yet so wicked.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
How windy it gets from the air flowing in from
the Pacific as well? Left it first hand or dealt
with it firsthand in twenty twenty two.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
His winds are crazy.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
That meteorologist though, he goes, think of there's sant Ana wins.
He goes, think of breathing. He goes, it's the desert
breathing out at night. Yeah, it pushes it towards the coast,
and it runs through those canyons and it gathers out
of steam, so you know, like a freight training funnel
funnel effects. And then then he I should have pointed
(20:04):
this out to you. He goes, you throw in the
added mix where the humidity dropped to an incredible low,
where it was just there was no moisture whatsoever in
the even the air, and that was just enough.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
To set the whole environment, set the whole thing off.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Somebody uh tattoo wombwell messages on Facebook Live said, we
have your show on every day in the studio. We
love all the random chatter. You guys have UK listeners.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
Here all right on. Thanks for rocking across the pond, bro.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
Thanks for tuning in so here in the new year.
In Florida, some some laws are in place now, and
like I said, I wanted to get to this during
the tech segment, they didn't. Uh have you tried to
surf for any porn lately? Taco Oh?
Speaker 3 (20:52):
I heard about that? What the hell did they do?
Speaker 1 (20:57):
I'll bring it up because most people aren't going to
bring this up because it's it's not a problem. You
would generally tell people that is a problem in your world.
If you pick an adult site and you're in.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
Florida, it's just a pornhub.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Yeah, try to go to pornhub. Do it right now?
Speaker 3 (21:13):
You want me to try to do it. It's show research.
You guys are all proof it doesn't. You're not going
to get there, I know, but.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
I'm just letting them know. When when my things browsers
searched porn Hub. Then I click on the link.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
I got there. Hello. Oh, then it's the spinning wheel.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
You're not you're not your user as you may know.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
You're elected officials in Florida.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
Say that's that's their political spin. But what it is
there's the new Uh Protection Act against you know, it's
aimed to it's the whole thing tied into social media
with little kids and whatnot. As a result of the
social media restrictions now in Florida, a lot of these
adult websites have now taken it upon themselves to we're
(22:00):
not even gonna tempt fate here. Uh, We're just gonna
block any connections from in Florida. Wink wink.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
What's way around it?
Speaker 1 (22:09):
This is the VPNs so so and anybody who is
well hopelessly addicted to porn already knows this. But somebody
who might just occasionally go, oh, you know, I've got
this little dirty sight I like to go to. And
if you try to go to it any most of
them you're it's it's no dice and uh, it just
(22:29):
it's I don't know what to make of that. Calme
tell your wife or husband. Hey, I was thinking about
getting a VPN. Mind, if we a VPN, what.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
Do you need a VPN for? Well?
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Security? You know, you know it's uh, you know, a
privacy thing.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
And why would you have to tell the life.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Just you know, you know what I'm again, if you
if you're married to someone who doesn't know you're surfing
porn and uh you know, and you're hiding it from
them and you change something where you've now got a
VPN hoop you got to jump through and they go.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
Get a vp don't tell them.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
Oh well, I'm just saying this isn't something you normally.
I'm just letting you know. I'm throwing the info out there.
If you haven't tried to access an adult site based
in Florida without using a VPN, in most cases, you're
not going to be able to.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
It's kind of like does he or she know about
your side stash money? You know what I'm saying For
you dudes or chicks, trip anything you would hide from
your significant other.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
This this is the latest glaring example here.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
So there's your answer. VPN.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
Yes, Yes, there's some really good ones. There are free VPNs.
Just know that some of them have data restrictions on
how much you can use. Some of them aren't quite
as secure.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
And it's mainly Florida that's doing this.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
She said, No, there's other states that have the adult
sites have not have locked up just because they they
rather err on the side of caution. And it's interesting.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
I didn't even realize it.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
So I was while we're talking, I'm scrolling around to
different things. Like I told you, I was watching the fires.
Then I went to our Facebook live feed to you know,
read some responses from people. And I looked and I go,
look at me with my feet up on the up
on the board, just wearing socks.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
You look quite relaxed. They're talking.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
I was like, what a schlub that.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
I kind of thought, that's me. Who's the schlub?
Speaker 3 (24:31):
Yeah? You bum? Good lord? All right?
Speaker 2 (24:35):
You ever do that at somebody's house, puts your feet
up on their table without thinking?
Speaker 3 (24:39):
Or if I had it done? Yes, I had somebody
to do it at my house And I go.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
Hey, dude, what move the feet? Who did somebody do
it to you? Or you did it? You didn't do
it to them?
Speaker 1 (24:50):
I have done that. I did it at my mom's
house over the.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
That's you, that's your mom. That's it. It is.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
And as soon as I realized what I was doing,
I took my feet down before anything was said.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
I learned something about shoes on furniture. I mean, I
do it here in the studio chairs because I like
to be comfortable. But I learned something when I was
a kid growing up with my buddy Twitch, his dad.
He came home and we were all, well, they were
all smoking pot. I didn't smoke weed at the time,
and we're.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
In high schools.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
Yeah, actually we were in high school or they were
in high school still and I wasn't, so they were
kind of skipping school or whatever it was.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
But I had I had my shoes up on the
on their kitchen counter like that, not even thinking about it.
Because I grew up with a family of five.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
You lived like freaking ragamuffins, you know, and uh like saws.
And so he had a pool table. They're smoking weed inside,
we're drinking beers and playing.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
Pool and in walks.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
His dad decides to come home from UCF for lunch
and we're worried about all the pot smoke and the
beers and.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
Like, holy shit, dude, to dad, what do you Because
he heard the garage or something.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
Only thing he said, whose fucking shoes are on my counter?
I'm like, I'm sorry, sorry, mister Twitch their mind.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
So none of the other, none of the other stuff
set him off, but that that set him over the edge.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
He goes, no, it went further.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
He goes, we eat off of that, and and just
started laying into me. I'm thinking, could he please smell.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
The pots hook And then he goes, hey, don't think
I don't smell the weed, guys, I smoke.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
That's the dudes, that great, great family you you met
Twitch several times.
Speaker 3 (26:39):
Yeah, those are the.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
He's the one that we were having the rage. And
this is a great story, the one that we were
having a rage and party when his parents were out
of town and a whole group of them decided to
eat acid and two of them were up on the
roof because people were running and jumping off the roof
into his pool right just a Florida passed. Yeah, And
(27:04):
when the cops came, two of them were up there,
including a guy from I.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
Think it was from Virginia.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
It was somebody's cousin was in town from Virginia or
Tennesse on acid on the roof and he was up
there with somebody else, so like two other people. Actually,
they go, what the hell are you gonna do? There's
like I'm talking all the Maitland Pedia, it seemed like.
Then pulls up there, banging on the door and stuff.
And those guys that come to find out later right,
(27:33):
got a running ahead start and jumped for a tree.
One of them missed, not good. Didn't land on a
fence or anything, thank god.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
But why didn't they jump in the pool.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
Because the cops came all around, like around the back too.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
Why didn't you just stay on the roof They did.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
For quite some time.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Then when the cops finally went inside, this is when
they jumped.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
I didn't know it because I was inside. So these dudes, sorry,
give me a break.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
That insurance company calling me speaking to that just asking
me for more more life.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
And calling to let you know they're putting you in
jail not paying your.
Speaker 3 (28:11):
So anyway, they run jump off.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
Dude, the guy from Tennessee or West Virginia, wherever the
hell he was from. He didn't know where he was,
so he jumps. He's the one, of course, that made
the tree. Him and one other guy.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
The other guy missed and whatever. Not good.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
But so they run and get split up. This guy's
running around Maitland, tripping on acid with no shirt on,
doesn't know what the town. You didn't have phones and
GPS is back then, pat He didn't find his way back.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
They had to go out the next.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Afternoon and drive around and found him sleeping in somebody's
front yard, like like two miles away.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
He was just shy of having his picture put on
telephone poles around town.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
Oh god, yeah, dude, he was ripped to shreds from
doing that crab part of the tree cartoon style, down
the tree, down the tree with no shirt on because
they're jumping bull anyway. So that's the one thing when
the cops came in, we're all sitting there and they're
going through and calling people's parents and whatever. Fortunately I
was eighteen at the time, so it didn't matter. But
(29:15):
uh that's when Pinball.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Pete twenty pounds of swinging meat.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Old Pinball is so ripped and a tripping as well,
I believe, and he goes They're they're like asking for
everybody's number. He wasn't eighteen yet, so they were calling
the people's parents that were under eighteen. He's like he
had just gotten in trouble the week before at spring break, and.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
He's like, no, you don't have to. Jeez.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
You know when somebody's just belligerent and dumb, you know,
being dumb. He's got He's saying this for like five
cops and they're like, son, give us your phone number
and your name.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
What eight hundred eat by asshole? Dude. They get his
ass up.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
The next morning when we all I woke up all
the people that were of age and could stay.
Speaker 3 (30:03):
That front four that front four four.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
Your area, dude, pat It was covered on the walls,
all over.
Speaker 3 (30:12):
The floor in black scuff marks from the cop shoes,
wrestling pinball on acid.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
And we're all going, Pete stop and he's like, don't
say my name.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
It was the most surreal night. I know my rights
now he went into all that stuff.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
I don't have to do anything my friend's house, dude,
And it was the most surreal night.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
It felt like a trip and I wasn't even tripping
with all those guys. It was crazy.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
So was the palm tree guy from West Virginia.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
Okay in the end, yeah, I mean probably really cold
and cut up to a hell. I mean, I know
he was all cut up because when we found him,
it's like.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
Just ripped and he's but he's just sleep like this
that kind of almost almost leg hanging.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
Over a curb style like this, like he kind of
just it was like when somebody shot and wore and
they just fall in place. He just probably hit his
wits end and gave up because it wouldn't, you know,
if somebody's not acid, they keep staying up.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
So he stayed up and didn't finally crash.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
And then and then didn't get found almost didn't get
found period because it was getting dark when we found him. Anyway,
started a side branch into that, but that whoa.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
I think we can end our venture adventure and acid
trip at this point.
Speaker 3 (31:38):
That got my adrenaline around it, all right, rebosol my
feet shut up.
