00 Hello! 3619!

Final Day of June! It’s hottttttttt.

Jimmy left a half full coke zero in the car on accident.

Big piece of mail to get to! Jimmy and Matt went to see Joe Kwaczala’s movie!

And some friend’s of shows!

It’s loud at the TCL theaters in Hollywood. Not very conducive for a catch-up conversation.

James Austin Johnson was at the screening but neither of the guys were able to meet him.

“Joe Kwaczala is a jerk.” – Jimmy Pardo, June the 30^th, 2025

Jimmy and Danielle saw F1. “Jesus Christ he’s handsome.” – Jimmy to Danielle

10 – Danielle thinks Days of Thunder is better than Top Gun!

Jimmy went to see James Blunt over the weekend. He parked in the neighborhood and walked up.

Jimmy talks about the audience that seems to be made up of housewives, dragged husbands, and gays (news to me).

He does Back To Bedlam front to back and then some other hits.

Jimmy talks about James Blunt’s song Monsters and how he cried during it.

Jimmy talks about the girls smoking joints leaning against a gas pump and the gas station worker yelling at them to stop and move away from the pumps. They completely ignored him.

Then Jimmy had to wander around the neighborhood for an hour and a half to find his car. He knew exactly where it was, except he didn’t.
