• 12:14
  Speaker 1: We were a dry campus.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: It was a year campus UCLA spread around and they

• 12:33
  Speaker 3: nineteen seventy four was a chapel.

  Speaker 2: I was about eight or nine going to my mom
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: when it cross when I would go to the crap
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: So I'm guessing in sixty seven it was sixty six.
• 12:55
  Speaker 5: It was a garage where they played craps.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: And then it jumped from a disco tech to a
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: bowling alley to a.
• 13:06

• 34:20
  Speaker 1: Who whoa.
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: No?
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: Can I ask you about the Great Depression in Los Angeles?
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: What was that like?
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: Well, that was when my father started CPK.
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: Oh it was born out of the Great Depression.
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: It was an affordable pizza at the time, because you know,
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: Los Angeles had had only expensive pizza earned the Great Depression,
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: and my father built CPK a more California based ingredients
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: where you didn't have to go far and you just
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: had to you could go local.
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: Nothing screams the Great Depression quite like that. Tucko Pa
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: to California Pizza Kitchen to.
• 35:03
  Speaker 4: Parl Spaghetti very much a Great Depression did, because you
• 35:07
  Speaker 4: can tell they just had what was there and they
• 35:09
  Speaker 4: made it.
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: Yes, And my father was a drunkard, and he just
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: put things on other things and say taco taco and solada,
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: or he'd say feticini alfredo salad.
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: You know, I heard Red Lobster came up with the
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: Dougar rita out of the Great Depression.
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: A lot of chain restaurants came from the Great Depression
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: because people want a consistency.
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: But I heard that's also how buffalo wild wings got
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: started as a Great Depression, and they would eat anything,
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: even buffalo spring wild.
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: Ones wild ones.
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: So right over here we're passing the Sprinkles cupcake vending machine.
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: Were you guys for clapped or what when they came out.
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: With this, I couldn't believe it that happened to have
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: ruined it, because right before there was a Sprinkles vending machine,
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: there was the classic, uh Pepsi vending.
• 35:54
  Speaker 7: Machine, and that was a man in a pepsi machine
• 35:57
  Speaker 7: who would hand you a pepsi And then I don't
• 36:00
  Speaker 7: do that anymore.
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: That's another American job.
• 36:02
  Speaker 5: Killed a bass Edgemont. Who are you voting for?
• 36:08
  Speaker 7: Oh, I'm you know, I'm a little bit of this.
• 36:10
  Speaker 7: I'm a little bit of that libertarian. One year then
• 36:14
  Speaker 7: I flipped a green party back to libertarian, do a
• 36:17
  Speaker 7: little tango with the President's Party, do a little salsa
• 36:22
  Speaker 7: with the United People's Party. And then sometimes I write
• 36:26
  Speaker 7: in a president of a different country who's already elected,
• 36:30
  Speaker 7: just to see if they'll switch, because I think that
• 36:34
  Speaker 7: Justin Trudeau would do a fabulous job if he wanted
• 36:38
  Speaker 7: to take over.
• 36:39
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I also agree with that.
• 36:41
  Speaker 4: You know, we just passed the cheesecake factory in Beverly Hills,

• 37:47
  Speaker 3: many times I blinked, and then you'll know.
• 37:49
  Speaker 4: Twenty is a dollar for the record, because it's a
• 37:53
  Speaker 4: dollar that helps.

• 38:17
  Speaker 1: Now they're making us get out of the car walk.
• 38:20
  Speaker 5: If I go any farther, we have to get out.

• 40:53
  Speaker 1: a novel.
• 40:54
  Speaker 5: Loved that show. It was so interesting to see these
• 40:57
  Speaker 5: performers perform.
• 40:58
  Speaker 3: High, which my husband in the in the Sanctum area
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: playing playing cards with little boys all the time.
• 41:08
  Speaker 4: I saw a show was he me too. I saw
• 41:11
  Speaker 4: a show at JUCIB Sunset where the host of the
• 41:14
  Speaker 4: Netflix show nailed it. Put out put a butt plug
• 41:17
  Speaker 4: out of a butt.
• 41:19
  Speaker 5: That's very interesting.
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: I saw a show where one of the girls from

  Speaker 2: the Progressive commercials shoved us a butt plug up another
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: man's but.
• 41:29
  Speaker 4: Well.

  Speaker 3: Greece and it was awful.
• 41:42
  Speaker 7: What is your favorite thing about Los Angeles? Something you
• 41:47
  Speaker 7: can always count on.
• 41:49
  Speaker 3: Hmm.
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: Well, for me, I guess i'd say the waves, the
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: waves of the ocean, the waves of the city, the
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: waves of relationships, the waves of every thing.
• 42:01
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: I think I find myself always looking at La in
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: its waves and finding myself riding it every year, every day,
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: just trying to not be a driver anymore.
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: You know that's very poetic.
• 42:16
  Speaker 5: Well put, I think for me, the.
• 42:19
  Speaker 4: Thing I love the most about La, most consistent thing,
• 42:22
  Speaker 4: is it's people, and namely they don't seem to know
• 42:27
  Speaker 4: what to do with me.
• 42:32
  Speaker 3: I can't.
• 42:34
  Speaker 4: I can rely on that like I can rely on
• 42:37
  Speaker 4: the sun. I'll say something and people don't understand it.
• 42:41
  Speaker 4: They say, why are you sitting in that car seat?
• 42:44
  Speaker 3: And you find peace in being misunderstood.
• 42:46
  Speaker 4: You have to kind of you if you get hit
• 42:48
  Speaker 4: by the ocean so many times, you have to just
• 42:52
  Speaker 4: come to terms with the fact that you're all wet.
• 42:54
  Speaker 4: Do you know what I mean is that I do.
• 42:56
  Speaker 5: I understand what you mean? But do you mean literally?
• 43:00
  Speaker 5: Have you been hit by the ocean? Has somebody been
• 43:02
  Speaker 5: leaving you at the ocean?
• 43:03
  Speaker 4: I have been hit by the ocean. I have been
• 43:06
  Speaker 4: hit by not just a wave, the whole ocean feels like.
• 43:09
  Speaker 4: I mean, I'm a little man, so it feels like
• 43:11
  Speaker 4: it all jumps up on me. I will just say
• 43:15
  Speaker 4: LA is a great place to be a little weirdo
• 43:18
  Speaker 4: because people are used to.
• 43:20
  Speaker 5: That and and you know, it can never be the
• 43:22
  Speaker 5: weirdest person on the street.
• 43:24
  Speaker 4: Me and my friends, well put on our Tommy Bahamas
• 43:27
  Speaker 4: shirts and we put on our khaki shorts and our
• 43:30
  Speaker 4: flip flops, and we go to Jinky's Studio City, and
• 43:33
  Speaker 4: then we walk around the valley and we just kind
• 43:35
  Speaker 4: of talk to people that are sitting on buses and stuff.
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: And oh god, there used to be a Jinkies on
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: every street corner.
• 43:42

  Speaker 3: it took me a.
• 43:57
  Speaker 5: While to get Studio City though.
• 44:00
  Speaker 3: No, no, okay. My favorite thing about Los Angeles that
• 44:05
  Speaker 3: is the same and always the same is that I
• 44:08
  Speaker 3: like that it's it's it's different than New York, the
• 44:12
  Speaker 3: city that never sleeps. I like that Los Angeles sleeps.
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: I like that Angela sleeps in. It's true.
• 44:19
  Speaker 4: I like it.
• 44:20
  Speaker 5: I don't like the city that never sleeps. La the
• 44:23
  Speaker 5: city that never wakes up.
• 44:25
  Speaker 3: No, not quite my point.
• 44:29
  Speaker 5: Okay, I thought it.
• 44:29

  Speaker 3: Have you ever been here during the Coachella weekends?
• 45:02
  Speaker 5: Oh? Yes, I've been ever since.
• 45:06
  Speaker 3: It's like you picked the city and you moved it up,
• 45:08
  Speaker 3: and I find it's so fun to let the waves
• 45:12
  Speaker 3: and let the wind pass through.
• 45:15

• 45:19
