• 1:17
  Speaker 1: Zach really did fix stuff because I need to get.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: I can fix things not very well. It just depends
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: on what it is. Like I'm okay around the house,
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: I'll admit it, but I'm not. I'm not the greatest
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: carpenter in the world.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: And I also heard Johnny there in the last traffic
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: He was talking about Oakland nursery and UH and summer
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: flowering bulbs, which I had that question if there are
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: can you plant bull Like if I didn't get the
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: tulips in in the fall, if I planted tulips right now,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: I'm curious would they come up this summer or would
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: they have to over winter again? I see, I don't know,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: but I love bulbs. I love not having to go
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: out and do the work. And so yeah, if I
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: could plant tulip bulbs and still get the tulips up here,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: and you know, the spring and into summer, I will
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: go get some tulip bulbs, but I don't know if
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: you can do that. I also found this is all
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: of a sudden, I'm Ron Wilson. I don't know. I
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: found a Facebook ad and I'm hesitant about buying, like
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: male order plants and stuff, but this was. It's a
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: hosta and it's bright blue, and it has like a
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: white and black edge to it. Oh my gosh, it's gorgeous.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: It's go I'm tempted to spend the money and buy
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: it simply, even if it turns out to not be
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: I almost I want to take a chance on that
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: in case she can't tell. I'm looking forward to springtime
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: and lawn care and gardening and all that kind of stuff.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: But I have never seen a bright blue hosta. And
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: I love hostas because they're you can't kill the dang thing. Well,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: maybe nuclear war, but aside from that, hostas are there. Man.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Every year, they keep coming back. You can cut them
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: down at the end of the season, they'll come back.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: They are wonderful plants. The ones I've got in front
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: of the house, I don't right around the end of July,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: for some reason, they start to get brown spots. And
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: I sprayed for bugs and everything else, but they still
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: get the brown spots, and the leaves kind of begin
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: to die out a little bit earlier than I won.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: But I've got the straight greens, and I've also got
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: the green with the white trim. But I have never
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: ever seen a bright blue hosta like this, And it's
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: just I'm intrigued. So I may take a chance. I'll
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: order and get them in the mail, and maybe they'll
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: be crap, But if they're not crap, it'll be wonderful.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Are you a hosta guy?
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: I don't even know if therese are? Like, I'm not joking,
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: I'm not trying to you know a lot about that stuff.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: I don't know anything about.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Hostas are like big elephant ears. They grow in a
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: bushy situation.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: A lot of people put them to my house and
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: like a really big one by the side of my
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: garage that I trim every year.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Are they Are they plants or trees or do they
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: have a woody woody bark to them or just plants? No?
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: What some of them like? Would I take the hedge
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: trimmer like you have to really.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, to get through there. You probably have evergreens or
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: something out there there. Yeah, I don't. I don't have
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: any idea. Yeah, these hostas were absolutely amazing. And again
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: I I've never seen him before, but I think I'm
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: going to try him and I may run up to
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Oakland this weekend and see if I can get some.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: Uh do you ever do you ever go like do
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: you ever go like when it's winter like astill abisa?
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Oh stop it sorry, Oh that was terrible. A two
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: nine eight six is my number. By the way, I
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: don't know that. Oh my gosh. I mentioned plants and
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: stuff and the phones lit up. All right, let's get
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: a few calls and here Pete, you're on six ten
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: up on E TV and Hi.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: Hey, So last last hour you mentioned the question about
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: whether we would take a fifty million dollar to spend
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: two years in jail proposition. Yeah, and you and you
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: and Zach said that you would take that. So my
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: question is, in that fantasy scenario, would the people in
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: prison know about the fifty million or not? Before I
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: get my opinion, I need to answer that.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: I'd say you can either way, Pete. You could either
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: allow it to be known or you could keep a
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: completely secret. Zach's strategy is allowed to be known. That
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: way he can pay for protection while he's in there.
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: Well, that's that's not good because you know what if
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: somebody gets out before you get out in the two years,
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: then obviously they're going to be interested in your fifty million,
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: and they're obviously they're criminals since they got out of jail,
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: so they might, you know, do the old Mexican cartel
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: thing and kidnap one of your family members or it.
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: You know, I think you guys need to put a
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: little bit more thought into what's going to happen after
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: you get out, and you know whether it's worth I mean,
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: you say all the time, how do you how much
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: you love your job? So is it? You know? I
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: know you said you want to leave the fifty million
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: to your your heirs, to your children and grandchildren. But
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: there's some trade off there with in terms of the
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: criminal element.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: Pete, as anybody ever told you you're too serious for
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: your own good.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: I'm just the way I understood the question is that
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: you'll get it when you get out.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's well, you go retrieve it when.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: You get out, right, then I'll just move. I don't
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: care about living in this place.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just a fun, fun frivel is a little
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: question based on that guy's court case. I don't think
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: Zach or I will be signing any contracts, you know,
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: anytime soon.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: I'm gone all the way to somewhere like O bets
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: O bets.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well you could. You could live high on the hog.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: You could live high on two hogs and O bets
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: for that kind of money. Yeah, for.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: A couple of years.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: Poor Pete, he was so serious.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: I think Pete thought about this for about an hour.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: I just wrote down all the different angles.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna need to call my attorney check into a
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: couple of things with the bookkeeper who consult my magic
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: eight ball, and uh.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: It's gonna be a Mexican cartel issue.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: You know. That l Chupple guy might send some people
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: after you. He's still working.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: I like Pete if it's the one.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: Who Oh, he's a nice guy, but he's just so
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: serious about it. If you have no idea what we're
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: talking about. That treasurer hunter guy he did two years
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: basically because he wouldn't tell the court where he had
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: hidden a bunch of gold and uh. They said, well,
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: if you're not gonna tell us, we're gonna put you
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: in jail till you do. And he said, okay, stick
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: me in jail, and he went to jail, and after
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: two years a judge finally went, okay, that's long enough,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: and so they let him out. He still hasn't told
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: anybody that he's not going to He kept it a secret.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: And although it may not be the entire booty, if
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: you will, which consisted of the gold coins as well
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: as apparently silver, was found, but we were talking like
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty million is what they knew they
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: had before the second expedition went out there and found
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: even more. So there's a whole bunch of money involved.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: And this guy put himself a little little savings account
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: aside with some gold coins and said, I'm not going
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: to tell you where it is, and he'll probably, you know,
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: enjoy Rio de Janiro very much. There's no extradition from Rio, right,
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: I think.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: It's it's none from Mexico or sorry, Russia either.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: But no one. He's going with fifty million dollars to Russia.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: Ieh, Russia, you can pay them.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: Welcome to beautiful Siberia.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: That's a beautiful country out there.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: He is Russia with a men on men and the
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: women are too.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: There's any Russian people listening who are part of a
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: nefarious organization? That was Chuck and not myself.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: Oh no, the good Russian people, you know they're here.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: It's it's those those Begrussians that they the what do
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: one that chaser moose and squirrel boris bitten off rememory. Yeah, hey, rookie,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: watch me pull a rabbit out of my head. Oh
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: my gosh, I'm just feeling weird tonight. I am feeling
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: so weird. What was I talking about before we got
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: into all that? Because I thought Pete was calling about
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: the plant stuff? Oh, the hostas? Did you look up hostas?
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: Because you google everything, look up blue hosta h O
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: S t A and see if there's a picture of
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: this on there. They are gorgeous and if they thrive
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: the way you know your classic green and green and
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: white hostas thrive, you you had seriously, you wouldn't need
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: gasoline in a match to get rid of them. They
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: come back year after year. They are wonderful, hearty plants
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: and a color like that that's that's difficult. That is
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: difficult not to want that.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: I see red hosses with blue in the middle.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, kind of the blue vein going through the middle. Now,
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: that would be cool. Oh if there was a white one,
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: get the red, the white and the blue, My house
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: would be so patriotic this year. I because I like
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: to do petunias, but there's no true blue petunia. The
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: closest you can get to a blue petunia is pretty
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: much purple, and that bugs me. There is a very
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: bright blue, but if the sun hits it the right way,
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: it's purple. Reds are easy, Yeah, Reds are easy to find.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: Whites are easier. Well, you know, you put the flowers
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: out there, and you put the flag up, and by
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: the time the fourth of July gets here, the garden
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: is doing well and the house looks patriotic, and you
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: got the bunting hanging the flag up. And oh I
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: got to buy a new flag too. Thanks for reminding me.
• 11:10

• 11:14
  Speaker 2: I need to get a get a new flag.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: Also, you need a flag? Yeah, for real, I'll buy
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: you one if you need you one.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: No, I mean I can buy one. I just don't
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: know exactly where. I don't want to get one that's cheap.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: You get, first of all, get made in the US.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: They do not buy patriotic stuff made in China. I
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: will kick your butt for that.
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: I know, I know what's going on.

• 11:47
  Speaker 1: made in America, yeah, I know.

  Speaker 2: I mean, you know who my dad is. He wouldn't
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: take that anyway.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: That's right, I would buy. He may not be able
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: to hold you down anymore, but I'll hold you down
