00 Welcome in! Episode 3520! Monday the 13th! One week of civility remaining.
We are all safe from the fires. You can hear more about it on the latest NNF Platinum episode.
Talking about the Palisades school that was a location for several film and TV projects.
Eliot’s hand cart broke. Perfect excuse for a new one.
Talking the eeriness and apocalyptic imagery of burnt out cars.
You always have a connection to your old grounds. Eliot’s childhood haunts were all burnt in the fire. Jimmy suggests he walk it off.
Jimmy talks about the childhood neighbors they had who put their fence in upside down so it was spikes up and they wouldn’t climb it. Jokes on them Jimmy did and ended up getting stuck, falling, and breaking his wrist.
10 – Talking Fences! Chain links are generally around 4 feet.
Jimmy’s had pretty bad luck with fence mates.
15 – Jimmy talks about his neighbor being the catalyst for he and Oliver stopping playing basketball.
He put the hoop on facebook messenger finally. Someone responded within an hour to get it.

The guys showed up and started loading someone else’s basketball hoop into their truck. Jimmy yelled out “Hey fellas that’s not me!” and they paniced and laughed all the way down to Jimmy where they loaded it into their truck with absolutely zero problems or issues.
Jimmy and Oliver would have taken forever to do it. The guys were in and out in “seven minutes.”
One of the guys, Yuri, had been volunteering to help with the fires around the area.
20 – Matt has a second hand story about celebrities coming to volunteer and shutting everything down so these celebrities could be there and get photos. Turns out it’s a third hand story.
Jimmy went to see Better Man! As expected, he said it was great (but the middle is a little redundant)!
“Brutally raw but by the numbers.” – Jimmy on Better Man
35 – Friends game show? Hosted by “painfully unfunny” comedian Whitney Cummings.
40 – https://www.forbes.com/sites/marcberman1/2025/01/09/the-hollywood-squares-premiere-delayed-by-cbs/
Matt’s been cheating in trivia! He just used the wrong numbers.
45 – The Pardo-Koenigs went to see Seven in IMAX!
Good kids in this age group!

Jimmy says Seven holds up and lots of it was a soft surprise because he didn’t remember much of it.
