- 0:09Speaker 1: Oh good, what you hate a pirate? Why do you
- 0:13Speaker 1: hate Katie? Are you with me?
- 0:15Speaker 2: It's because you're now going to make the claim that
- 0:18Speaker 2: you're somehow related to a pirate.
- 0:20Speaker 1: The pirate Queen of Ireland, Grace O'Malley, the Pirate Queen
- 0:24Speaker 1: of Ireland, we have a pirate gathering.
- 0:26Speaker 2: Based based on a family a family lore. Yeah, lor
- 0:30Speaker 2: there's a good word.
- 0:31Speaker 1: There is a painting. Then she looks like me. So
- 0:34Speaker 1: that's all I need. And I sent some pictures. I
- 0:37Speaker 1: don't know if Katie has them.
- 0:39Speaker 2: Is there a picture of Grayce O'Malley, No.
- 0:41Speaker 1: It's a picture of a So. So this first one
- 0:44Speaker 1: is when we arrive at the at the beach house. Uh,
- 0:49Speaker 1: there was a box with this sign on it that
- 0:51Speaker 1: said pirate tattoos must ask your pirate adult for permission
- 0:55Speaker 1: and assistance. So we can and I'm showing you here's
- 1:00Speaker 1: my my pirate tattoo that has not come off yet.
- 1:06Speaker 1: An it's an anchor, you know, for for festus, because
- 1:11Speaker 1: that's kind of piratey. And and navy. But everybody, my
- 1:16Speaker 1: mom got a tattoo. Aunt Nan got a tattoo, Uncle
- 1:20Speaker 1: Pat got a I'm I'm clear that these are, you know,
- 1:23Speaker 1: peel off tattoos, right, that's that's obvious, right.
- 1:27Speaker 2: Yes it is, Yes it is.
- 1:30Speaker 1: But this is the closest thing I'm ever going to
- 1:32Speaker 1: have tattoo.
- 1:34Speaker 2: Actually.
- 1:35Speaker 1: But so on the way out, I'm traveling by myself
- 1:39Speaker 1: with this broken foot in a boot.
- 1:41Speaker 2: Your husband was not invited.
- 1:43Speaker 1: Well, he had the kids were home, he had to
- 1:45Speaker 1: take care of dog's This was just it was it was.
- 1:48Speaker 2: A quick trip and he and he didn't really want
- 1:50Speaker 2: to go, I mean probably not. Whose beach house is that,
- 1:54Speaker 2: by the.
- 1:54Speaker 1: Way, So my aunt Nan rents it, so nobody owns it.
- 1:57Speaker 1: It's like a it's an airbian bee, okay, because I
- 2:00Speaker 1: think I might want to stay there.
- 2:02Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it's it's nice based only on that photograph
- 2:05Speaker 2: of that, based on all the photos I saw on
- 2:07Speaker 2: our own.
- 2:08Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's really nice. It's because it's beach front,
- 2:12Speaker 1: Like there's stairs that go right down to the beach
- 2:14Speaker 1: from there, which is nice.
- 2:15Speaker 2: Is that a helicopter landing pad there?
- 2:18Speaker 1: Uh no, So anyway, traveling by myself with this broken
- 2:23Speaker 1: foot in a boot, and so typically I do not
- 2:27Speaker 1: check my bag because you know how you never lose
- 2:30Speaker 1: your bag if it's with you all the time. But
- 2:34Speaker 1: because I had this boot, and because I didn't have
- 2:37Speaker 1: to change planes or anything. It was from here to
- 2:40Speaker 1: Santa Barbara. You get on the plane and get off,
- 2:43Speaker 1: the odds of my bag not making it with me
- 2:46Speaker 1: are very small.
- 2:47Speaker 2: Uh oh, so I checked my bag didn't make it.
- 2:51Speaker 1: There are two flights to Santa Barbara every day, an
- 2:54Speaker 1: early one and a late one, and for some reason,
- 2:57Speaker 1: my bag was on the later fly. Now, this beach
- 3:01Speaker 1: house we're staying out is two hours away from the airport,
- 3:05Speaker 1: so they won't deliver your bag.
- 3:07Speaker 2: They won't know if you're.
- 3:09Speaker 1: That far away delta, like I think it's within an
- 3:14Speaker 1: hour they'll they'll deliver it. But two hours away they
- 3:19Speaker 1: won't deliver it.
- 3:20Speaker 2: It was their fault. They should deliver it, I know.
- 3:23Speaker 1: So Luckily Festus was driving up from San Diego to
- 3:29Speaker 1: meet me in Cayukas is where we go, so he was,
- 3:33Speaker 1: but he wasn't coming up till the next day.
- 3:34Speaker 2: It's really not a pleasant sounding name. Yukasus rhymes with mucus.
- 3:41Speaker 1: It's a little fleming. So luckily he but I didn't
- 3:46Speaker 1: get it till the next day. So the other lucky
- 3:50Speaker 1: thing is I have a cousin, Colleen, who also only
- 3:54Speaker 1: wears black clothing. And she said, yeah, I got you
- 4:00Speaker 1: underpants or on my black underpants and my black pants
- 4:04Speaker 1: and my black shirt.
- 4:06Speaker 2: Unfortunately she's three times genus side. No, she's.
- 4:12Speaker 1: There was a cookie contest, a cookie bacon. Why do
- 4:17Speaker 1: you hate all of this? What you're just over there.
- 4:21Speaker 2: Sighing because it's because it's it's it's just so out
- 4:26Speaker 2: of a magazine perfect. Do you want to come?
- 4:30Speaker 1: Why do you come with me next time?
- 4:32Speaker 2: I'd probably have a ball, you would, especially if it's
- 4:35Speaker 2: mostly women, because I love hanging around with women.
- 4:38Speaker 1: But the uh oh is the fires in California, Oh yeah,
- 4:43Speaker 1: which are horrendous. Close to that, well, we have we
- 4:47Speaker 1: have two ranches in the family in different, completely different
- 4:51Speaker 1: parts of California, who were both on firewatch. One of
- 4:56Speaker 1: them the turned into a PG and E camp where
- 5:01Speaker 1: they would base out, yeah, because they have to cut
- 5:06Speaker 1: power and stuff as the fire moves through. And Uncle
- 5:09Speaker 1: Pat was there and he and what I've learned is
- 5:11Speaker 1: there's an app which you should which you should get
- 5:14Speaker 1: because this works in Utah too. It's a fire It's
- 5:18Speaker 1: called watch Duty and it's great because it shows you
- 5:22Speaker 1: where all the fires are in the whole country and
- 5:25Speaker 1: when you click on it, it'll tell you if there's
- 5:27Speaker 1: an evacuation order in effect. Is depressing, I mean it's depressing,
- 5:32Speaker 1: it's but so so we spent the whole time there
- 5:37Speaker 1: while they were watching the fires, and at one point
- 5:39Speaker 1: Uncle Pat had to leave because his.
- 5:41Speaker 2: His ranch was under an evacuation Oh wow, yeah, so
- 5:45Speaker 2: he had to go down down south.
- 5:47Speaker 1: No, he's up north north. Yeah. But yeah, get that.
- 5:51Speaker 1: Get that app because I started Watch Duty.
- 5:55Speaker 2: Yeah. I think my wife has that. It's for for here, Okay,
- 5:59Speaker 2: it's for the entry.
- 6:00Speaker 1: Yeah uh yeah.
- 6:02Speaker 2: So well what I mean, so what, First of all,
- 6:05Speaker 2: what does cookie making have to do with pirate booty?
- 6:08Speaker 1: It's you know, it's I don't know.
- 6:12Speaker 2: Are there are there any other pirate activities? Do you
- 6:15Speaker 2: go plunder or something?
- 6:16Speaker 1: There's usually a treasure hunt. I was only there for
- 6:18Speaker 1: a tiny bit of this. Ant NaN's there all month
- 6:20Speaker 1: there are pirate activities all month long.
- 6:23Speaker 2: Oh my god? And what so, so you made you
- 6:27Speaker 2: didn't make no.
- 6:29Speaker 1: I judged. I judged harshly, like the way you.

- 6:39Speaker 2: What's you
