00:36.479 –> 00:39.360
We gotta get Tom to update that.

00:47.281 –> 00:51.445
Dude, we got two wrong logos in that one.

00:51.505 –> 00:53.467
It’s really mixing things up right there.

00:53.507 –> 00:54.428
It’s confusing me.

00:54.888 –> 00:58.312
And it’s got me really curious as to what time is it, Greg Sullivan?

00:58.792 –> 00:59.913
You know what time it is, Glenn?

00:59.993 –> 01:01.074
It’s time for an audit.

01:01.855 –> 01:02.796
And some new openings.

01:35.647 –> 01:36.748
Yeah.

01:36.848 –> 01:38.789
New opening credits, everybody.

01:38.849 –> 01:43.893
Thank you so much for tuning in to the incredibly fun Friday night audit.

01:43.933 –> 01:44.153
All right.

01:44.213 –> 01:45.594
I don’t know how much fun it’s going to be.

01:45.674 –> 01:47.955
This might not be any fun at all, but thanks.

01:47.996 –> 01:54.860
Tune in to the only show and hospitality completely designed just so we could hear how awesome Craig Sullivan laughs all the time over there.

01:56.501 –> 01:57.942
Just laughing hospitality.

01:58.223 –> 01:59.143
He’s Craig Sullivan.

01:59.564 –> 02:00.524
I’m Glenn Hausman.

02:00.844 –> 02:02.746
And thanks for being a you, Craig.

02:04.244 –> 02:04.644
What a day.

02:04.684 –> 02:10.670
I woke up in Miami in really nice weather and then got home to a snowstorm.

02:10.710 –> 02:11.351
That’s not fun.

02:11.971 –> 02:12.552
No, it’s not.

02:12.672 –> 02:16.015
But you made it out of Florida unscathed.

02:16.475 –> 02:22.121
No alligator attacks, no snakes or other varmints.

02:26.147 –> 02:30.130
I would like to say I did have a pretty varmint-free experience.

02:30.250 –> 02:31.010
There you go.

02:31.110 –> 02:31.851
That was pretty cool.

02:32.431 –> 02:33.632
It was great.

02:34.353 –> 02:38.055
I want to thank everybody at the One Hotel South Beach.

02:38.476 –> 02:39.436
Awesome team over there.

02:39.496 –> 02:43.599
Thanks for taking care of me all week while I was attending their General Matters Conference.

02:43.699 –> 02:51.845
It was awesome to be able to interview their CEO, Raul Leal, but even more awesome, Craig, to be back here with you at my home studio.

02:53.021 –> 02:55.382
But are you in Studio A or Studio B?

02:56.122 –> 02:59.964
Studio B is still under reconstruction down there.

03:00.064 –> 03:03.806
I got everything painted and set and mostly ready to go.

03:03.966 –> 03:08.247
But then I got tired and the holidays clicked in.

03:09.548 –> 03:36.139
hey you know you got to have that afternoon now come on yeah dude the one i took today was magical i’ll tell you although what really sucked what really sucked about is i’ve been having these nap problems lately where like i’ll finally get to sleep it’ll be like i’m i’m in it for like a good solid 10 minutes and then i got to get up in and pee and then i like ah like i just got into this damn thing and i just peed 11 minutes ago so i could sleep

03:38.347 –> 03:39.248
So freaking annoying.

03:39.328 –> 03:45.072
Anyway, I could keep talking about my, you know, my issues, but… Your bladder issue?

03:45.472 –> 03:47.754
Yeah.

03:47.914 –> 03:54.158
But, you know, my doctor’s not here anymore, so why don’t you bring on our guest today?

03:54.198 –> 03:56.199
Who do we have with us today?

03:56.560 –> 03:58.481
Was that Dr. Hugo Quackenbush?

04:01.543 –> 04:03.424
Some of you people may remember that doctor.

04:03.764 –> 04:05.646
Others, like our producer…

04:06.650 –> 04:09.813
who promised singers today, but he would never know who that doctor is.

04:09.833 –> 04:16.920
Oh, we should say producer Dave is lurking behind the scenes, but he’s having some computer issues, so we won’t see him today, thankfully.

04:17.701 –> 04:26.890
Craig, you know, I sent him an email earlier, and it actually had some code to damage his camera so we wouldn’t have to see him.

04:26.930 –> 04:29.212
I’m like, I got to take this to my own end.

04:29.373 –> 04:30.334
Who’s our guest today, Craig?

04:31.218 –> 04:40.645
Our guest today is the one, the only hotel construction expert that is just hands down better than anybody else.

04:41.394 –> 04:49.197
Doesn’t matter if it’s a boutique hotel, a conference hotel, a destination resort, attached to a convention center.

04:49.818 –> 04:50.778
He knows hotels.

04:50.818 –> 04:52.159
He also knows furniture.

04:52.539 –> 04:54.800
And if we play our cards right, Glenn, who knows?

04:54.860 –> 04:58.161
We might get a couple of new desks for the studios each.

04:58.181 –> 04:58.741
You never know.

04:59.642 –> 05:05.444
And he throws the very best hospitality beach party ever.

05:05.724 –> 05:06.625
Hands down.

05:07.265 –> 05:08.986
The one, the only…

05:10.293 –> 05:12.098
Tim Cromwell of Creed.

05:12.339 –> 05:15.828
Now the question is, is he the lead singer or is he the guitar player?

05:20.213 –> 05:24.656
After hearing Glenn talking about having to go pee, I’m sorry, but I’ve got to go to the bathroom.

05:25.196 –> 05:26.297
Yeah, that makes two of us.

05:26.337 –> 05:28.298
We’ll be back, Glenn.

05:28.978 –> 05:29.499
Thank you, guys.

05:29.639 –> 05:31.720
It’s great to be part of the show.

05:32.321 –> 05:36.083
It’s great to see you.

05:36.103 –> 05:38.465
124 episodes, and we finally got you on the air.

05:38.485 –> 05:41.767
I know Craig’s been negotiating with you since before we even started the show.

05:41.787 –> 05:46.190
I figured you only had about 125 people on Earth to invite on this.

05:47.191 –> 05:48.071
How much do you owe?

05:49.612 –> 05:52.234
How much do we have to pay Tim for his time?

05:52.294 –> 05:56.057
Because I wasn’t consulted before we gave out this performance fee.

05:56.317 –> 05:57.578
No, he’s paying us.

05:57.638 –> 06:01.721
We’re getting a free sit-stand desk from Tim’s Furniture Company.

06:02.181 –> 06:02.741
Absolutely.

06:02.901 –> 06:07.104
Are we all getting one or am I getting left out in the cold again?

06:07.625 –> 06:09.026
You’re not getting anything, David.

06:09.046 –> 06:09.706
You’re not here.

06:10.787 –> 06:11.567
I’m right here.

06:11.587 –> 06:12.608
I just have no face today.

06:12.628 –> 06:15.050
I have a face for radio today.

06:16.620 –> 06:17.300
I know.

06:17.340 –> 06:18.381
You do every day.

06:18.441 –> 06:19.682
At least today we don’t have to say it.

06:19.702 –> 06:19.922
Thank you.

06:20.222 –> 06:24.504
I couldn’t get it out fast enough.

06:25.804 –> 06:28.906
So, Tim, we should have told you before we get on air.

06:28.946 –> 06:29.826
Just keep doing what you’re doing.

06:29.846 –> 06:31.247
Just get in there.

06:31.467 –> 06:32.888
Otherwise, I just don’t shut up.

06:32.988 –> 06:36.189
Just interrupt you constantly and tell stupid jokes?

06:36.650 –> 06:36.990
Yes.

06:37.470 –> 06:40.151
It’s like being at the Trade Florida Conference.

06:40.651 –> 06:41.332
It’s the same thing.

06:42.130 –> 06:43.451
T-Pol and poop, you know.

06:43.851 –> 06:45.352
I said the wrong thing.

06:45.752 –> 06:49.554
But how about if I started off because you told me I could introduce the drink.

06:49.794 –> 06:51.595
Hold on, Tim.

06:51.635 –> 06:52.976
We don’t want to break any rules here.

06:53.136 –> 06:56.358
We’ve got very specific rules, and rule number one is this.

07:02.141 –> 07:03.662
Hey, Tim, we asked you to bring a drink.

07:06.184 –> 07:10.646
So what I’ve got is what I call a Cromdog mule.

07:10.666 –> 07:11.547
Nice.

07:11.767 –> 07:13.347
So I’m going to make it right now.

07:13.748 –> 07:15.208
What is a Cromdog mule?

07:15.248 –> 07:16.769
Well, it’s my nickname.

07:16.809 –> 07:19.610
Cromacazi and Cromdog have been my nicknames for years.

07:20.090 –> 07:21.111
I like Cromacazi.

07:21.891 –> 07:24.192
Most people do a Moscow mule out of this.

07:24.212 –> 07:24.372
Yep.

07:25.293 –> 07:31.776
What I suggest is you come to one of my surf camps, and then you get your own reusable cup.

07:32.977 –> 07:34.678
We’re going to make a crumb dog mule.

07:34.718 –> 07:37.339
How is it different from a Moscow mule?

07:37.800 –> 07:40.421
How is that different from a Moscow mule?

07:41.581 –> 07:42.362
We’re adding ice.

07:44.283 –> 07:52.227
We’re going to put in some vodka, preferably Tito’s because they’re the official sponsor for my charity golf tournament I do every year.

07:52.667 –> 07:52.967
Awesome.

07:53.647 –> 07:55.168
I’m a sissy, so I don’t do it.

07:55.228 –> 07:56.769
Also because they’re the best vodka.

07:56.989 –> 07:59.691
My wife always gives me crap about it.

07:59.711 –> 08:00.591
I’m a wimp.

08:02.047 –> 08:07.332
And then we throw in, because I’m also a sissy boy, I do diet ginger beer.

08:07.692 –> 08:10.394
So you can’t really tell the difference.

08:10.934 –> 08:11.355
I can’t.

08:12.235 –> 08:14.617
And so I mix a little ginger beer in there.

08:17.299 –> 08:21.323
And the difference besides diet ginger beer?

08:23.204 –> 08:23.725
An orange.

08:23.965 –> 08:24.545
An orange.

08:24.865 –> 08:29.089
California orange, preferably if it’s stolen from a neighbor’s tree.

08:32.310 –> 08:33.972
Just taste better that way.

08:34.473 –> 08:35.174
And mix it up.

08:36.815 –> 08:41.120
And cheers, everybody.

08:41.140 –> 08:43.583
Hey, cheers.

08:45.645 –> 08:45.986
Cheers.

08:46.006 –> 08:47.828
And that’s delicious.

08:49.930 –> 08:52.653
And best, if it’s chaste.

08:53.982 –> 08:55.723
Buy a Coors Light.

08:56.023 –> 08:58.245
There we go.

08:58.465 –> 09:00.727
Glenn, get out the tequila.

09:00.767 –> 09:03.168
This is how I can stay up later at parties.

09:03.248 –> 09:05.130
I don’t drink hard alcohol very often.

09:05.610 –> 09:06.911
It’s usually Coors Light.

09:07.792 –> 09:09.333
And Craig’s favorite, Bud Light.

09:10.313 –> 09:17.498
As devotees of FNA know, Craig and I used to drink a lot of hard liquor at the beginning of the series.

09:17.518 –> 09:17.879
Yeah.

09:18.579 –> 09:22.302
we were destroyed every single Friday night and couldn’t handle it anymore.

09:22.342 –> 09:25.225
So we started going to beer, which is really depressing.

09:25.866 –> 09:29.128
The whole philosophy though, the show is everyone come on and we’d mix a cocktail with them.

09:29.149 –> 09:30.109
We’d all do it together.

09:30.129 –> 09:34.293
And that was a lot of fun, but our livers couldn’t cope with it.

09:34.774 –> 09:34.934
Yeah.

09:34.954 –> 09:38.517
And we had way too many tequila drinks back to back to back to back.

09:38.937 –> 09:39.538
Yeah.

09:39.978 –> 09:55.484
If any of my friends who know me pretty well are watching or listening right now, they would know Cromwell never drinks before five o’clock or, you know, I just never been a daytime drinker, but I take up for it after five or six.

09:55.924 –> 09:56.124
Yeah.

09:56.184 –> 09:58.645
We have some friends that are able to pull it off all day long.

09:58.745 –> 10:04.467
But if I drink, if I drink in the early part of the day, then that’s my whole day, you know, big time.

10:05.048 –> 10:05.368
Yeah.

10:06.317 –> 10:11.701
So Tim, if any of your friends are watching, they can comment live, and we’ll bring their comments up on the screen.

10:11.761 –> 10:18.665
So if you’re watching YouTube, LinkedIn, or Facebook, feel free to comment on the show.

10:18.805 –> 10:21.047
Yeah, make sure it’s on my channels, guys.

10:21.107 –> 10:26.010
So come on to my LinkedIn, Glenn Hausman, or my Facebook, because some of the channels aren’t coming through.

10:26.170 –> 10:28.612
And I know there’s a bunch of people watching, and I’m not getting any comments.

10:28.692 –> 10:30.033
So we’ll see.

10:30.273 –> 10:30.994
We’ll see what happens.

10:31.454 –> 10:36.017
But anyway, Tim, how did you meet good old Moondoggy over there?

10:36.537 –> 10:37.017
Oh, man.

10:37.037 –> 10:40.779
Well, I think I’ve met Craig a couple of times over the last few years.

10:42.239 –> 10:44.821
Yeah, I think about 27 years ago now.

10:44.841 –> 10:48.262
I mean, over 30 years, I’m sure.

10:48.962 –> 11:03.208
And I met him, I think, first when I was with Artie Olson, and we were having our first of, you know, we’ve been doing it, you know, I was doing it with Artie Olson for probably 27 years, the surf camp, and Craig has been to most of them.

11:03.228 –> 11:05.149
In fact, if you see above my head,

11:05.789 –> 11:06.269
over there.

11:08.030 –> 11:10.571
That’s a picture of one of the surf camps that I did.

11:10.591 –> 11:12.732
This wall behind me has got a story of my life.

11:13.672 –> 11:14.793
I love sports.

11:14.813 –> 11:19.955
I have three sons that all played baseball through college on scholarships.

11:19.995 –> 11:20.055
Wow.

11:22.502 –> 11:25.625
Yeah, Glenn’s going to shoot himself now.

11:25.725 –> 11:31.772
I think I did see a podcast recently where you’re talking about the most expensive college.

11:31.792 –> 11:32.252
That’s it.

11:32.572 –> 11:32.913
Okay.

11:33.333 –> 11:34.414
Did that really happen?

11:34.434 –> 11:36.597
Is it your son really goes there?

11:37.778 –> 11:38.278
Yeah.

11:38.358 –> 11:39.639
That was amazing.

11:39.899 –> 11:44.682
I have twins, and they both go to equally expensive universities.

11:44.862 –> 11:47.764
That’s crazy, because I was like, okay, is he kidding?

11:48.104 –> 11:48.324
No.

11:48.344 –> 11:50.166
He actually has a kid at that school.

11:50.286 –> 11:51.046
That’s fucking horrible.

11:51.066 –> 11:52.067
I was trying to guess which.

11:52.267 –> 11:55.589
But let me say, I don’t want to throw the school under the bus.

11:55.709 –> 11:58.291
While it is expensive, he’s having a great time.

11:58.571 –> 11:59.832
He’s really finding himself.

11:59.892 –> 12:02.694
He’s making some great relationships, and it’s the right place for him.

12:02.754 –> 12:02.994
Yeah.

12:03.234 –> 12:07.256
And for the benefit of our listeners, the name of that school again was?

12:08.356 –> 12:09.196
Franklin and Marshall.

12:09.396 –> 12:10.117
Okay.

12:10.257 –> 12:10.417
Right.

12:10.437 –> 12:12.138
I have great news, guys.

12:12.238 –> 12:14.378
Harvard, Yale.

12:14.679 –> 12:16.219
I have news to make Ben feel better.

12:16.239 –> 12:18.460
I figured out the camera issue.

12:18.480 –> 12:21.681
I haven’t figured out the coughing issue, so I don’t have a cough button.

12:21.701 –> 12:24.042
So I’m sorry if I cough the most because I have been.

12:24.062 –> 12:26.523
It’s because you’re too lazy to set up the gear.

12:26.663 –> 12:27.784
I should change this now.

12:27.824 –> 12:27.924
Okay.

12:28.644 –> 12:34.989
Instead of faceless Dave, I should just put sick week Dave because I have been sick as hell all week as you guys know.

12:35.009 –> 12:44.115
And I’ve tried to almost kill my family based on chemical warfare as well with Annie upstairs sick and dying from my initial illness.

12:44.755 –> 12:45.796
So there it is.

12:46.497 –> 12:55.223
So I may be in and out with the camera issues, but for now I’m here to grace your presence with my wonderful self.

12:55.933 –> 12:57.555
Bye, Dave.

12:57.635 –> 12:58.115
Hey.

12:58.435 –> 13:01.378
It looks like the YouTube channels are working.

13:01.719 –> 13:04.621
As soon as I come on the show, people start tuning in.

13:04.942 –> 13:06.343
You guys can’t do this without me.

13:06.523 –> 13:07.024
Exactly.

13:07.064 –> 13:07.845
You’re the magnet.

13:09.306 –> 13:09.586
Yeah.

13:10.207 –> 13:11.588
You are the glue in my magnet.

13:13.530 –> 13:14.871
I recognize both those names.

13:14.911 –> 13:15.732
It just popped up.

13:16.413 –> 13:17.074
Welcome to the show.

13:17.134 –> 13:17.454
I love it.

13:19.625 –> 13:21.968
So you guys met 27 years ago.

13:22.028 –> 13:24.351
Was there a specific time that you remember meeting each other?

13:24.371 –> 13:28.195
Or is it just kind of like Craig and I, I don’t remember when we first meet.

13:28.355 –> 13:30.517
Suddenly we just were friends.

13:30.537 –> 13:31.358
I don’t know what happened.

13:31.378 –> 13:34.162
For some reason, I always think of Craig as,

13:35.242 –> 13:37.164
with the Long Beach Grand Prix.

13:37.184 –> 13:45.030
And I don’t know why, but I think we were both attending, you know, an architect’s party, you know, Musil Perkowitz and Ruth maybe or something.

13:45.690 –> 13:48.252
And we kind of got, you know, had a good time there.

13:48.592 –> 13:50.954
And I believe he had a son, Sean, with him.

13:51.314 –> 13:51.555
Right.

13:51.755 –> 13:58.160
And I just ran into Sean at a Christmas party that a,

13:59.409 –> 14:03.337
a law office dead over in Irvine.

14:03.437 –> 14:04.379
And there’s a picture of him.

14:04.439 –> 14:05.280
And Craig, guess what?

14:05.340 –> 14:05.882
Last night.

14:06.362 –> 14:06.944
That’s from surf.

14:06.964 –> 14:07.585
Hey, look at that.

14:07.986 –> 14:09.348
Oh, that’s awesome.

14:09.709 –> 14:09.949
Wow.

14:10.932 –> 14:11.613
Oh, shit.

14:11.653 –> 14:12.314
That’s great.

14:13.815 –> 14:21.462
I was at this dinner last night for private equity companies and developers, and it was for Moss Adams.

14:22.383 –> 14:26.447
And I mentioned, I’m going to be on some podcast tomorrow, and I’m in the hospitality industry.

14:26.727 –> 14:29.750
And the guy across from me said, hey, do you know Craig Sullivan?

14:31.992 –> 14:32.732
Are you kidding me?

14:33.173 –> 14:34.314
He’s the guy doing the podcast.

14:35.748 –> 14:39.289
He says, I know his son, Shawnee, you know, title guy.

14:39.369 –> 14:40.869
I said, I know Shawnee.

14:40.889 –> 14:42.569
So, I mean, it was like just crazy.

14:42.589 –> 14:48.511
So, yeah, Greg, you’ve got about 300,000 friends out there in the world.

14:49.051 –> 14:50.871
Something like that, I got to tell you.

14:50.991 –> 14:58.653
You know, Tim and I started, you know, at the Long Beach Grand Prix, and then it was –

14:59.949 –> 15:02.071
Lodging conference later that year.

15:02.091 –> 15:09.718
And then January of the following year, it was, I think it was still the UCLA conference.

15:10.158 –> 15:10.418
Right.

15:10.658 –> 15:14.021
UCLA hotel conference was what Alice used to be.

15:14.342 –> 15:14.582
Right.

15:15.082 –> 15:18.425
So Berber realized how much money he could make if he just does it on his own.

15:18.886 –> 15:19.827
Should I not have said that?

15:21.317 –> 15:24.419
Well, I think he did just fine.

15:24.439 –> 15:26.020
Yeah, I think he did just fine.

15:26.260 –> 15:27.901
He and Harry Jaber, you know.

15:28.661 –> 15:32.763
I don’t know who’s making more money.

15:32.863 –> 15:34.564
I will tell you who’s making more money.

15:34.684 –> 15:35.745
My son’s college.

15:36.225 –> 15:36.785
Yeah.

15:36.845 –> 15:37.406
There you go.

15:37.906 –> 15:42.748
But, yeah, then Tim and I had a lot of mutual clients that we both shared.

15:42.808 –> 15:45.250
And, you know, we hit it off and we started going to the house.

15:45.270 –> 15:46.811
That sounds really inappropriate, Craig.

15:47.331 –> 15:47.491
Well.

15:49.690 –> 15:50.971
The whole show is inappropriate.

15:51.071 –> 15:54.494
I have to ask, Craig, where’s the hair?

15:54.794 –> 15:56.395
Are you cutting a little man bun?

15:56.415 –> 15:57.496
No, no, no.

15:57.596 –> 15:59.258
I do not rock a man bun.

15:59.398 –> 15:59.758
Okay.

16:00.138 –> 16:02.120
It’s very long right now.

16:02.380 –> 16:04.522
I will never do a man bun.

16:05.002 –> 16:11.688
And if you ever see me doing that or people chasing me, please kill me, then them, because I don’t know why they’re chasing me.

16:11.968 –> 16:15.731
I feel we’re at the final countdown for your hair, though, it looks like, right?

16:15.751 –> 16:16.932
Yeah, we’re getting there.

16:17.232 –> 16:18.013
We’re getting there.

16:19.161 –> 16:22.742
Hey, let me go get the fan, you know, and we’ll do it.

16:22.762 –> 16:28.925
So for the people who are listening on audio, we’re looking at a picture of Fabio.

16:28.945 –> 16:29.805
Serious question, though.

16:29.845 –> 16:31.026
So I know who Fabio is.

16:31.066 –> 16:32.006
I’ve heard of him, obviously.

16:32.026 –> 16:33.507
Otherwise, I couldn’t call it that picture.

16:33.527 –> 16:36.088
But I honestly don’t know what he’s famous for.

16:36.508 –> 16:37.289
He’s famous.

16:37.309 –> 16:41.792
He’s famous for… He was on all the books Glenn wrote.

16:41.832 –> 16:44.474
Have you ever heard of Harlequin romance novels?

16:44.494 –> 16:46.095
All the books that Glenn used to read.

16:46.115 –> 16:47.176
He still does.

16:47.196 –> 16:48.016
I secretly write them.

16:48.036 –> 16:48.557
So, yeah.

16:48.577 –> 16:48.637
No.

16:48.657 –> 16:48.777
But…

16:53.760 –> 16:57.283
So the Harlequin romance novels are very, very popular.

16:58.564 –> 17:01.146
They’re sold at like grocery stores and all of that.

17:01.226 –> 17:04.509
And my grandmother used to have a subscription, that kind of thing.

17:04.549 –> 17:09.413
So in the meantime, Fabio was like the cover model for them.

17:09.913 –> 17:13.215
And he started doing a lot of them and somehow got like –

17:14.056 –> 17:39.115
popular enough to like then become a pop icon figure you know for a little while there okay yeah so the house that he’s building out here on collins island yeah i’m wondering what he looks like nowadays fabio yeah it’s probably the same just a little bit you know more puffier yeah we’re a little plastic depending on the plastic surgery or he has we’re like

17:40.518 –> 17:43.759
I have a question for Tim, kind of shifting away from that.

17:44.159 –> 17:55.001
I’m looking behind you, Tim, and I’m seeing a Jets helmet, a Raiders helmet, a UCLA Bruins hat, a Clemson hat, a Cincinnati Reds hat.

17:55.061 –> 17:58.462
I can’t see what that top one is.

17:58.842 –> 18:02.362
Over this shoulder, that hat is a Clemson hat.

18:03.363 –> 18:04.903
My son played baseball at Clemson.

18:06.111 –> 18:12.577
Um, that son over here, that’s a picture of him as a baby with Don King.

18:13.418 –> 18:14.518
I ran into at the airport.

18:14.619 –> 18:16.240
Don King was the nicest guy in the world.

18:16.280 –> 18:17.161
Let me take a photo.

18:17.201 –> 18:18.402
And it was right before Christmas.

18:18.482 –> 18:20.043
So I made that into a Christmas card.

18:20.063 –> 18:22.205
It’s the first time I think anyone’s ever said that sentence.

18:23.947 –> 18:26.689
You wouldn’t believe how charming.

18:27.603 –> 18:32.464
And he’s got a personality that is amazing.

18:32.644 –> 18:37.105
No wonder he took so many boxers with all their money.

18:37.125 –> 18:39.266
But he was just lovely.

18:39.726 –> 18:40.706
And so he held my son.

18:40.806 –> 18:42.966
My son was crying and scared.

18:43.126 –> 18:43.827
Who’s this guy doing this?

18:44.227 –> 18:46.887
But anyway, it turned into a Christmas card a month later.

18:46.907 –> 18:47.467
That’s amazing.

18:47.507 –> 18:50.028
And I said, Hark the Herald Angels Sing.

18:50.168 –> 18:52.108
And then you open it up, and there’s that picture.

18:52.248 –> 18:54.489
Glory to the newborn and king.

18:54.889 –> 18:55.089
Right.

18:55.249 –> 18:55.389
Ha!

18:56.170 –> 18:57.010
I love it.

18:57.070 –> 18:57.691
Love it.

18:57.811 –> 19:01.154
Anyway, Jets helmet is signed by Joe Namath.

19:02.055 –> 19:02.715
There you go.

19:03.016 –> 19:07.359
And the Marcus Allen signed the Raider helmet.

19:07.560 –> 19:09.001
Wow.

19:09.621 –> 19:10.342
That’s cool.

19:10.382 –> 19:12.144
Batting helmets.

19:12.424 –> 19:15.907
Two of my three sons.

19:16.167 –> 19:21.592
The most exciting thing that ever happened to me being a Jets fan is that my parents went to the Super Bowl in college.

19:23.141 –> 19:29.223
You mean Namath, the one where he called it?

19:29.243 –> 19:29.743
Yeah.

19:29.803 –> 19:31.323
And Glenn was born nine months later.

19:31.924 –> 19:33.124
Yeah, for sure.

19:33.804 –> 19:35.505
It was like, what’s a guy thinking?

19:35.745 –> 19:37.965
You know, they don’t have a chance to win.

19:38.065 –> 19:38.806
And he called it.

19:39.026 –> 19:40.426
Yeah, he sure did.

19:40.686 –> 19:41.146
He sure did.

19:41.567 –> 19:47.608
Now, Tim, your boys like mine have grown up around a bazillion people in the industry.

19:48.689 –> 19:49.989
What are they doing these days?

19:50.550 –> 19:51.351
Oh, good question.

19:51.371 –> 19:52.111
Thank you for asking.

19:52.131 –> 19:53.512
That’s a great comment.

19:56.554 –> 20:08.122
My three boys, my three sons, like the old TV show, I would bring them every year to the lodging conference.

20:08.182 –> 20:13.025
We would take them out of school and they grew up going to the conference from, I mean, for years.

20:13.045 –> 20:17.328
Were they able to stay up for that after conference party that you would do?

20:18.761 –> 20:22.443
They would because we would have it on Friday night after the conference.

20:23.143 –> 20:26.725
And they would hang out with Jack Javer, Harry and Liz’s son.

20:27.325 –> 20:32.567
We just saw Harry, Jack and Liz in New York City in Christmas.

20:32.847 –> 20:33.567
That’s wonderful.

20:34.348 –> 20:41.110
But so the boys now, Patrick is in commercial real estate in Dallas with a company called Moore Partners, M-O-H-R.

20:41.991 –> 20:45.052
Please, anybody out there listening, throw them a bone.

20:46.311 –> 20:47.192
I hope it makes some money.

20:47.212 –> 20:49.513
That’d be wonderful.

20:49.914 –> 20:54.957
Brian, the middle one graduated from college after playing baseball.

20:55.197 –> 20:57.719
All three got to go play over in Europe and Australia.

20:57.739 –> 20:58.300
That’s cool.

20:58.760 –> 20:58.960
Nice.

20:59.000 –> 21:01.502
A little bit of money, but mostly free travel.

21:02.002 –> 21:02.363
Yeah.

21:02.423 –> 21:09.308
Brian joins the army and it doesn’t join it as a officer, but he went into the Rangers program.

21:09.328 –> 21:12.250
So he’s an U S or not U S army Ranger now.

21:12.850 –> 21:13.090
Wow.

21:13.150 –> 21:13.891
And we’ve,

21:14.406 –> 21:18.949
Went down to his graduation and then flew with him up to New York for the holidays.

21:19.470 –> 21:26.435
And then my youngest, Andrew, who everybody says takes too much after me, which is why we…

21:30.287 –> 21:33.069
He’s playing baseball in Perth, Australia.

21:33.149 –> 21:34.290
So he did not come on.

21:34.390 –> 21:36.671
That’s really cool.

21:37.232 –> 21:37.452
Yeah.

21:37.492 –> 21:37.812
But thanks.

21:37.852 –> 21:39.293
How long has he been in Australia?

21:40.674 –> 21:43.816
It’s since their spring summer season started.

21:43.856 –> 21:54.804
So like, I think early September, he’s hoping he can end it and then go to France or Germany or Switzerland and play over there.

21:55.004 –> 21:56.045
And then maybe one more.

21:56.761 –> 22:01.462
Oh, that’s pretty cool because right now it’s their summer, so they’re playing now, right?

22:01.562 –> 22:05.883
Okay, so Dave just found this shit up.

22:05.923 –> 22:07.064
Wow, that’s pretty cool.

22:07.304 –> 22:08.864
That’s why he’s producer Dave.

22:09.224 –> 22:10.464
Yeah, anyway.

22:10.844 –> 22:13.705
That’s literally the first thing he’s ever done on this show that was worthwhile.

22:14.145 –> 22:16.986
That is such a lie.

22:17.006 –> 22:18.906
I’ve also done that several times.

22:19.187 –> 22:19.467
Interesting.

22:19.487 –> 22:21.047
I’m going to show Mark my cousin.

22:22.051 –> 22:23.812
Andrew had an interesting college career.

22:24.232 –> 22:34.197
You know, COVID hit right during his, like one of his, I think sophomore year, but his first year, I believe it was at orange coast college.

22:34.217 –> 22:35.057
Yeah.

22:35.157 –> 22:35.437
Right.

22:36.058 –> 22:39.739
Right before the, you guys might remember cause it was right around Alice.

22:40.940 –> 22:44.102
The head coach got killed in the Kobe Bryant helicopter.

22:44.142 –> 22:44.722
That’s right.

22:44.742 –> 22:45.102
Yeah.

22:45.282 –> 22:48.784
So that was just before.

22:49.124 –> 22:50.885
I knew three people on that.

22:51.926 –> 23:02.010
helicopter wow yeah crazy that is crazy bring us down here but yeah yeah well uh i’ll make it i’ll make everybody feel better

23:03.351 –> 23:04.592
Always better when we do that.

23:04.632 –> 23:09.774
So, Tim, what is your beautiful bride Mary up to these days?

23:10.154 –> 23:17.058
She’s definitely hiding out today because she knew if she was in home, I would drag her in here.

23:17.078 –> 23:19.038
A lot of people know my better half, Mary.

23:19.519 –> 23:20.319
She’s lovely.

23:20.339 –> 23:23.401
She’s my, you know, kind of saved my life.

23:23.441 –> 23:28.263
I was married before I have two daughters that are, you know, probably about in a Craig’s age.

23:29.068 –> 23:29.688
I’m joking.

23:32.570 –> 23:46.257
And I met Mary after I had a few years of being single, divorced and having an interesting time and met this adorable girl who moved out here from St.

23:46.277 –> 23:48.438
Paul, Minnesota, graduated from UCLA.

23:49.018 –> 23:50.719
And my sister worked with her.

23:50.979 –> 23:52.560
And my little sister would say,

23:53.919 –> 23:55.720
there’s this girl that works in our company.

23:56.160 –> 24:00.422
They were like, you know, like an employment agency.

24:00.542 –> 24:05.244
It was all for people, kids, you know, kids who wanted to get into the entertainment industry.

24:05.324 –> 24:07.405
Cause it’s up in Brentwood and Santa Monica.

24:08.245 –> 24:13.407
And since they had some interesting clients, but she would say, this girl is adorable.

24:13.447 –> 24:14.308
You’d really like her.

24:14.828 –> 24:15.628
She’s wonderful.

24:15.708 –> 24:17.449
But then I said, well, invite her to one of my parties.

24:17.469 –> 24:19.750
And then Mary would marry my sister and,

24:20.595 –> 24:25.619
would show Mary, my future wife, the invitation that I put together.

24:26.139 –> 24:34.086
And she would say, God, he looks like a horned dog, you know, piece of crap.

24:34.146 –> 24:35.787
And your point would be?

24:35.807 –> 24:41.952
But she finally, I went to, I was actually a

24:42.961 –> 24:47.344
God, I don’t know if I want to get into these stories, but I was in the old days.

24:47.364 –> 24:52.007
It was okay to have bachelor and bachelorette auctions.

24:53.168 –> 24:58.132
And I was a bachelor, one of many for cystic fibrosis.

24:58.452 –> 25:07.258
And so my lady who bought me for this date, we were on the date and she was a hoot, you know, this rich German woman.

25:07.318 –> 25:09.099
And our date was ending.

25:09.119 –> 25:11.421
I said, I got to go up to Redondo beach for this date.

25:12.805 –> 25:14.486
engagement party for my little sister.

25:14.506 –> 25:16.088
She’s like, you will not leave here.

25:16.108 –> 25:20.911
No, I want to come.

25:20.951 –> 25:21.792
You might not care if I come.

25:21.852 –> 25:23.253
I said, I don’t care.

25:23.453 –> 25:24.054
Let it be great.

25:24.114 –> 25:27.936
So I bring Hilga or whatever her name was up to the party.

25:28.914 –> 25:32.819
And I meet Mary for the first time and I was smitten.

25:33.460 –> 25:34.401
She was lovely.

25:34.461 –> 25:39.488
And I even did a stupid thing and just, I said to somebody, watch this.

25:39.548 –> 25:44.114
And I just kissed her on the lips, you know, after knowing her a little bit and she was like, what a weirdo.

25:44.554 –> 25:44.815
Yeah.

25:47.075 –> 25:48.936
It was no question.

25:49.516 –> 26:01.541
She and I started dating her and she put, you know, put up with my daughters who were, you know, I was going through a tough time and my daughters would like, liked her, but you know, sometimes less little girls could be, but the new woman coming.

26:01.581 –> 26:02.162
Yeah, totally.

26:02.322 –> 26:03.402
Replacing their mother.

26:03.482 –> 26:05.943
But anyway, it wasn’t anything like that.

26:06.743 –> 26:10.365
Um, so we, Mary is the mother of my three boys and, uh,

26:11.772 –> 26:15.417
She’s a great mom, a great wife, and she’s a great person.

26:15.717 –> 26:17.560
She’s a wonderful young woman.

26:17.580 –> 26:18.361
Everybody loves her.

26:18.721 –> 26:20.944
Well, now we wish she was here.

26:21.185 –> 26:24.068
Go grab her, drag her out in front of the camera.

26:24.129 –> 26:26.492
All this buildup and no payoff.

26:26.832 –> 26:28.213
Spread it, Trader Joe’s.

26:28.873 –> 26:35.417
You know, I want to know, Tim, how many pranks have you pulled on the Mary Cromwells?

26:36.057 –> 26:41.620
Like, you know, have you sent, like, one of them subscriptions to all kinds of magazines that make no sense?

26:42.420 –> 26:47.703
Or do you set them up, you know, for, say, dinner reservations?

26:47.903 –> 26:49.304
I don’t play dirty.

26:50.163 –> 26:51.203
Tricks on people.

26:51.223 –> 26:52.384
Those aren’t dirty tricks.

26:52.444 –> 26:53.124
Well, I don’t know.

26:53.264 –> 26:54.104
I’m not sure.

26:54.684 –> 26:57.465
There are many other Mary Cromwells, but it was crazy.

26:57.485 –> 26:59.325
My brother John was married to a Mary.

26:59.546 –> 27:01.666
I dated seven Mary Cromwells in college.

27:01.906 –> 27:02.726
So we had a Mary.

27:03.206 –> 27:05.207
You know, we’re Irish Catholic.

27:05.307 –> 27:06.667
Mary grew up in a Catholic family.

27:06.727 –> 27:09.948
So every daughter in the family is always going to be a Mary.

27:10.008 –> 27:12.909
And, you know, usually there’s a son named Patrick or Timothy.

27:13.269 –> 27:14.249
I’m Timothy Patrick.

27:14.369 –> 27:15.770
My oldest is Timothy.

27:16.330 –> 27:16.530
Right.

27:17.247 –> 27:18.828
Brian James Mulcahy.

27:21.248 –> 27:22.189
So what is it?

27:22.209 –> 27:24.890
They sit you down and go, all right, you got seven names.

27:25.130 –> 27:30.052
You can put them in any order you’d like, but it’s got to be a combination of these seven.

27:30.332 –> 27:39.075
Well, weirdly or strangely, I’ll say my mother, you know, a good old Catholic woman from Utica, New York.

27:40.769 –> 27:43.694
My father’s from Kansas, both Catholic.

27:44.114 –> 27:50.324
My dad never really talked about being English or anything like that, but Cromwell was

27:50.791 –> 27:57.076
Oliver Cromwell’s most hated person in Irish history, if you have that right.

27:57.276 –> 28:00.439
And I was just there with Mary and I couldn’t believe it.

28:00.499 –> 28:03.081
They still know that name.

28:03.141 –> 28:09.306
Not more than 45 minutes ago to an hour.

28:09.326 –> 28:12.128
I said to my wife, yeah, our guest is Tim Cromwell.

28:12.148 –> 28:15.991
You know, he’s the great, great, great, great, great grandson of Oliver Cromwell.

28:16.011 –> 28:16.592
She’s like, what?

28:18.592 –> 28:27.256
We’re still trying to get the exact lineage from it, but I do plan on going back to London and reclaiming the crown.

28:28.396 –> 28:29.177
There you go.

28:29.837 –> 28:33.879
That’ll be a great show for Friday night on it.

28:33.939 –> 28:35.299
Seriously, I want to be there.

28:35.319 –> 28:36.780
I want to be there and document that.

28:36.820 –> 28:41.962
Hey, he’s going to meet us there before Christmas, and we’ll do the show live with Tim from London.

28:42.263 –> 28:42.903
That’d be a hoot.

28:43.854 –> 28:45.195
Yeah.

28:45.275 –> 28:46.635
I’d like to get over to London again.

28:46.655 –> 28:47.656
I haven’t been there.

28:48.036 –> 28:51.258
So I’m not boring all our listeners with stories of my family.

28:51.298 –> 28:52.818
No, the listeners are fascinated.

28:54.239 –> 28:55.800
Me, I could barely stay awake.

28:55.940 –> 28:57.100
I can’t feel.

28:58.541 –> 29:01.402
So, Tim, let’s bring it back to Creed.

29:01.462 –> 29:07.405
You made a move over there a while ago after a very successful and prolific career with another group.

29:07.906 –> 29:08.546
Yeah.

29:08.986 –> 29:10.707
Tell us about Creed and what you’re doing there.

29:11.087 –> 29:13.869
OK, so I was with Artie Olson for almost 30 years.

29:13.969 –> 29:20.473
But when you turn as your partner, when you turn 65, you have to sell your I just gave my agent away.

29:20.813 –> 29:22.575
You have to sell your partnership.

29:22.635 –> 29:24.156
So I did.

29:24.576 –> 29:29.119
And it was also during COVID when things not much was happening.

29:29.179 –> 29:33.542
But so we parted ways and I joined Creed.

29:33.702 –> 29:37.565
And the coincidence with that is I used to try to sell.

29:38.746 –> 29:45.593
Artie Olson Construction Services to Colby Dernan, who had a couple of different companies, Sentinel and whatever.

29:45.653 –> 29:52.200
But about 22 years ago, he started Creed, which is a commercial real estate development enterprises.

29:52.500 –> 29:55.363
I always tell people it’s Cromwell Real Estate Development Enterprise.

29:57.512 –> 29:59.353
But it’s not that great.

29:59.874 –> 30:01.375
Yeah, are you playing lead guitar now?

30:01.415 –> 30:02.555
It’s not that great.

30:02.635 –> 30:03.776
It’s the one from Rocky.

30:03.876 –> 30:04.216
Come on.

30:04.396 –> 30:05.117
It’s great.

30:05.757 –> 30:11.281
So years ago, do you remember when the Ducks were called the Mighty Ducks and they won the Stanley Cup?

30:11.761 –> 30:14.483
Yeah, that’s when they were owned by Disney for a little while.

30:14.563 –> 30:18.445
Yeah, I had four tickets to the finals, the Stanley Cup final.

30:19.185 –> 30:22.988
And I gave my ticket to Colby Dernan.

30:23.488 –> 30:26.830
who didn’t know anything about hockey or even who was playing.

30:26.970 –> 30:30.392
But his wife tells him, Colby, you’ve got to go to this thing.

30:30.472 –> 30:31.713
It’s an unbelievable ticket.

30:31.873 –> 30:37.936
So Colby goes and he sits next to Joe Keillor, who was president of Artie Olson at the time.

30:38.416 –> 30:41.898
And Joe’s a huge hockey fan and used to play.

30:41.938 –> 30:48.422
And his sons, I believe, played, you know, minor league hockey, if not, you know, upper minor minors of college.

30:48.702 –> 30:49.562
professional hockey.

30:50.843 –> 31:02.846
And so Colby meets Joe and flash forward 20 years, I’m leaving Artie Olson and I find out that Joe Keillor is working with Creed.

31:03.727 –> 31:09.648
So it was almost like meant to be to kind of talk to Colby and Colby is a very smart guy.

31:09.728 –> 31:10.549
He’s hilarious.

31:11.789 –> 31:15.270
And I brought the surf camp to, to Creed and,

31:16.045 –> 31:22.068
I, um, you know, we did a helicopter hog hunt and, and, you know, up north of Dallas.

31:22.208 –> 31:24.169
How does a helicopter hog hunt work?

31:24.189 –> 31:33.914
I don’t know if he wants me talking about it much, but you know, wild boars in the farmlands of Texas are, listen, if you’re going to eat the animals, then, you know, it’s okay.

31:33.934 –> 31:36.115
We’re not talking about going down to Africa and shooting.

31:36.315 –> 31:39.136
They want them done and they’re not good eating.

31:39.196 –> 31:41.097
They just, they, they ravaged the, uh,

31:41.557 –> 31:44.459
Wait, aren’t they like an invasive species down there?

31:44.479 –> 31:45.259
They’re horrible.

31:45.559 –> 31:48.741
That’s why you can go and get a helicopter.

31:48.761 –> 31:52.763
We had this retired female Marine helicopter pilot.

31:53.643 –> 31:58.706
A guy in the front passenger seat and a guy in the back driver’s seat.

31:59.597 –> 32:15.451
with you know ak-47s or ar-15s and it’s crazy watching these things and they all of a sudden will come out of a you know a blind or down on a gully and they’ll be running across the the plowed field and it’s just

32:17.159 –> 32:33.999
the slaughter but we don’t have to do any cleanup the farmers I feel like this could be a really good Oliver Stone movie or something I think more of a Warner Brothers cartoon because I’m picturing Elmer Fudd hanging out of a helicopter yeah right we even did some night nighttime you

32:34.526 –> 32:40.491
I’m not a hunter, so I was kind of a babe in the woods, but it was a hoot.

32:41.111 –> 32:45.134
We had a good time, but we’ve had some fun things with Creed.

32:45.955 –> 32:51.459
We’re planning a Creed Days of Summer event August 22nd.

32:52.020 –> 32:57.984
We’ll have one or two bands playing on the beach in Long Beach, and it’ll be pretty cool.

32:58.125 –> 32:59.285
Are you going to be in one of those bands?

33:00.046 –> 33:01.007
No, but you know what?

33:01.287 –> 33:02.428
Bring up the band thing.

33:04.565 –> 33:05.405
I love music.

33:05.425 –> 33:06.286
I don’t know if you can see it.

33:06.306 –> 33:07.466
There’s a guitar behind me.

33:07.927 –> 33:12.409
And I know Craig used to be a rock star.

33:12.429 –> 33:14.310
I mean, a real musician.

33:15.751 –> 33:22.575
My wife used to say when the boys are growing up, let’s get them pianolists and say, Mary, they have no musical talent.

33:23.575 –> 33:23.915
Look at them.

33:23.935 –> 33:30.659
They’re running out in the street, breaking their arms, hockey, baseball, football, jumping on me.

33:31.426 –> 33:32.446
They’re like me.

33:32.646 –> 33:35.067
We’re into athletics.

33:35.367 –> 33:36.368
I love music.

33:36.708 –> 33:38.648
I struggle trying to play the guitar.

33:38.668 –> 33:40.709
I own more guitars than I should own.

33:41.289 –> 33:42.810
Can’t play any of them any good.

33:43.670 –> 33:44.010
But it’s…

33:47.429 –> 33:48.570
it’s something that I did.

33:48.590 –> 33:49.591
I’m kind of proud of.

33:49.851 –> 33:54.956
I think it was a very first, uh, lodging conference, rock and roll talent show.

33:55.196 –> 33:55.336
Right.

33:55.396 –> 34:05.164
So what, what they do at the lodging conference every year is they have a band and then people who attend the conference can come up and play music and sing with them.

34:05.244 –> 34:05.725
Go on Tim.

34:06.005 –> 34:07.947
So I wanted to play, uh,

34:08.587 –> 34:12.115
But I’m not good enough to really play, but I brought out my Fender Strat.

34:12.656 –> 34:17.306
I just kept my volume down, but I stacked it with…

34:18.123 –> 34:19.104
really good musicians.

34:19.504 –> 34:20.985
At least a few of them are really good.

34:21.765 –> 34:25.648
One, our main guitarist is Carl Tasca from Artie Olson.

34:26.369 –> 34:29.711
And he was, he’s probably one of the best guitarists I’ve ever seen.

34:29.851 –> 34:31.272
He’s unbelievable.

34:31.592 –> 34:35.835
He used to teach classical guitar, but he can shred it, you know, electric guitar too.

34:36.355 –> 34:40.118
So he was our front man, Dennis Rayling, who was our president at the time.

34:40.138 –> 34:41.679
And Artie Olson is really good at guitar.

34:41.719 –> 34:42.019
He’s good.

34:42.379 –> 34:47.122
And then Irv Sandman, a lot of you know, he’s a great guy, great hotel attorney.

34:47.603 –> 34:49.184
He’s a really good musician.

34:49.584 –> 34:50.685
He’s a great musician.

34:50.865 –> 34:51.605
And he sings.

34:51.625 –> 34:53.046
He does his son and daughter.

34:53.206 –> 34:53.687
Oh, yeah.

34:53.727 –> 34:54.667
They’re amazing.

34:54.927 –> 34:56.308
She’s got the voice of an angel.

34:56.408 –> 34:56.689
Yeah.

34:56.869 –> 35:02.573
And so Irv, you know, would say, well, Tim, I want to do like Against the Wind.

35:03.073 –> 35:05.074
No songs where we want to commit suicide.

35:05.454 –> 35:06.395
We got to rock them.

35:06.415 –> 35:08.196
You know, you got to do something really good.

35:08.216 –> 35:08.296
Yeah.

35:09.537 –> 35:11.458
So Harry Jaber was our drummer.

35:11.478 –> 35:12.039
Yeah.

35:12.159 –> 35:16.542
Well, anyway, people have still come up to me and say, yeah, I remember you played guitar.

35:16.582 –> 35:21.705
I said, yeah, I can play chords, but that’s about it.

35:21.886 –> 35:22.726
And follow along.

35:22.806 –> 35:25.008
But that was a fun time.

35:25.148 –> 35:27.489
And we, yeah, we rocked it.

35:28.470 –> 35:29.210
I bet it is.

35:29.771 –> 35:30.091
Yeah.

35:30.271 –> 35:31.972
I wish I had a musical talent.

35:32.012 –> 35:34.554
That’s something that I would love to do.

35:34.874 –> 35:36.135
I have a cousin.

35:36.175 –> 35:37.716
Radio talent too, but here we are.

35:37.736 –> 35:38.517
Yeah.

35:40.591 –> 35:43.952
My cousin Don Cromwell was in Air Supply and Eddie Money.

35:44.152 –> 35:48.572
So out of the entire Cromwell family, he got all the talent.

35:48.853 –> 35:50.033
All the talent for everybody.

35:50.113 –> 35:50.493
Nice.

35:50.833 –> 35:51.553
That’s funny.

35:52.073 –> 35:53.453
That’s funny.

35:53.513 –> 35:56.974
That’s pretty crazy and smart that you could see that your kids are more into that.

35:57.094 –> 35:58.714
It would be a waste of money and time.

35:59.034 –> 36:01.695
Plus, they have to get out there and practice.

36:02.955 –> 36:03.255
Yeah.

36:03.395 –> 36:03.855
For sure.

36:04.275 –> 36:07.316
Were they going to practice baseball or were they going to practice music?

36:07.336 –> 36:08.396
They were going to go baseball.

36:08.496 –> 36:08.696
Yeah.

36:10.467 –> 36:15.612
Yeah, the problem with my childhood is I tried absolutely everything and I was not good at anything.

36:15.632 –> 36:16.413
Come on.

36:16.733 –> 36:17.394
It’s really bad.

36:17.794 –> 36:18.915
I was bad at sports.

36:18.975 –> 36:20.297
I was bad at music.

36:20.477 –> 36:22.779
I mean – Bad at podcasting.

36:22.839 –> 36:23.880
Bad at writing.

36:23.900 –> 36:26.743
When you found something you’re good at, you know.

36:27.732 –> 36:54.947
working with people and then you found something you’re good at working with people in the hospitality industry and uh yeah you got something you love then you know hey yeah i played baseball yeah but listen it’s i for me it’s about figuring out what makes you happy in life and going with that i wish i had learned that lesson when i was younger but i i’m very happy with where i uh you know where i wound up and all the things that i was not good at led me to

36:55.287 –> 36:57.187
the, the place where I feel a peace.

36:57.408 –> 37:04.249
So, you know, but look at it this way, Glenn, you can pass that very valuable life lesson onto your sons at a very young age.

37:05.549 –> 37:08.630
Uh, yeah, I could, I missed the window.

37:10.511 –> 37:11.431
Ah, they’re still young.

37:11.491 –> 37:12.771
Come on.

37:12.831 –> 37:13.911
I’m not going to believe this.

37:13.991 –> 37:16.332
My son turned 42 last year.

37:16.392 –> 37:16.732
Yeah.

37:16.752 –> 37:18.873
That’s the first time Tim met him.

37:19.173 –> 37:19.613
He was like 18.

37:20.253 –> 37:22.474
No, I remember it.

37:23.474 –> 37:24.074
It’s scary.

37:24.134 –> 37:24.314
Yeah.

37:26.092 –> 37:29.475
The best part about that is that Craig has a kid older than me.

37:31.997 –> 37:32.697
Yes, I do.

37:32.837 –> 37:34.259
At least the one that I know of.

37:34.839 –> 37:39.263
Right.

37:39.283 –> 37:42.685
There’s always that thing we’ve got to worry about, the 23andMe or whatever.

37:43.846 –> 37:45.207
Yeah, I’m not going to take any of those.

37:45.247 –> 37:46.388
I don’t want to know.

37:46.448 –> 37:50.211
I don’t want anybody else claiming my DNA.

37:50.291 –> 37:50.572
Okay.

37:52.443 –> 37:55.546
So Tim, tell us about your furniture venture.

37:56.006 –> 37:56.506
Oh, cool.

37:56.747 –> 38:02.371
So I also want to talk about PCRF because I’m going to mention that right now.

38:02.391 –> 38:05.554
I do this golf tournament for pediatric cancer research.

38:05.794 –> 38:06.014
Cool.

38:06.134 –> 38:09.657
I love your hair thing you’re doing for a survivor.

38:09.717 –> 38:14.381
And in case people don’t know, Craig’s been growing out his hair for what, three years, four years?

38:14.662 –> 38:15.462
Two years now.

38:15.943 –> 38:19.105
And soon it will be cut and donated.

38:19.125 –> 38:19.185
Yes.

38:20.598 –> 38:21.479
It’s awesome, Craig.

38:21.599 –> 38:31.326
So I’ve been on the board of directors for about 15 years for a company that was a charity that was started by Rod Carew, who you might remember.

38:31.346 –> 38:32.047
Yeah, of course.

38:32.087 –> 38:33.688
Hall of Fame baseball player with the Angels.

38:33.728 –> 38:35.349
He lost his daughter, Michelle.

38:36.130 –> 38:37.190
And so he started this.

38:37.691 –> 38:39.872
When he was playing for the Angels, too.

38:39.932 –> 38:42.374
When it happened, he was playing for the Angels.

38:42.434 –> 38:43.995
He was already gone from the Twins.

38:44.135 –> 38:45.356
But he’s a great guy.

38:46.177 –> 38:48.579
And so I…

38:49.571 –> 38:51.272
was involved with the Indian guides.

38:51.752 –> 38:53.153
Uh, boy, he’s got to go all the way around.

38:53.173 –> 38:55.175
So I’ll try to do it quick, which is a father.

38:55.215 –> 38:55.955
So you got time.

38:55.995 –> 38:57.496
We got, you got a half hour.

38:59.698 –> 38:59.998
We do.

39:00.138 –> 39:01.699
It’s a father son program.

39:01.719 –> 39:05.041
And it’s like, you know, boy Scouts or Cub Scouts, only a lot more fun.

39:05.241 –> 39:05.381
Good.

39:05.421 –> 39:08.624
Dads are, you know, bringing alcohol to the things that we boys go.

39:08.704 –> 39:09.464
Oh, good.

39:09.704 –> 39:15.588
There’s no, there’s no decorum or it’s just, you know, it’s like kids gone, gone wild.

39:16.229 –> 39:18.070
But yeah, but the, uh,

39:18.831 –> 39:23.221
I hear from the men that would do Indian princesses.

39:24.099 –> 39:27.080
They spoil the shit out of their daughters at these things.

39:27.140 –> 39:30.721
And they’re all, you know, completely, you know, highbrow events.

39:30.801 –> 39:35.222
But we would do a camp out in the outfield of Angel Stadium every year.

39:35.242 –> 39:36.102
That’s pretty freaking cool.

39:36.122 –> 39:40.223
We gave the money that we earned government to pediatric cancer research.

39:40.283 –> 39:43.004
And they realized I was the guy doing all this.

39:43.064 –> 39:47.965
And we’d get, you know, a couple of ex-pros who’d come and sign autographs.

39:48.126 –> 39:49.846
Rod Drew would be playing catch with little kids.

39:50.346 –> 39:50.746
Oh, wow.

39:50.906 –> 39:53.227
I’d get Kelsey Fullerton, UC Irvine.

39:53.987 –> 39:57.409
uh, baseball players to come in their uniforms after their practice.

39:57.569 –> 40:01.150
And they would, um, you know, play games with the kids.

40:01.210 –> 40:11.235
And then the next day I would start, uh, on the field throwing, you know, underhand of the five-year-olds little harder, a little harder, a little harder.

40:11.255 –> 40:19.378
And so finally I’m, you know, behind an L screen throwing to the dads who are, you know, live regular baseballs, regular bats.

40:19.418 –> 40:20.179
It was really cool.

40:20.199 –> 40:20.819
So a lot of fun.

40:20.859 –> 40:20.999
Yeah.

40:21.839 –> 40:22.540
So, um,

40:23.689 –> 40:26.131
Here’s why I got into the furniture thing.

40:26.191 –> 40:29.673
So I became a board member with Pediatric Cancer Research.

40:29.753 –> 40:37.658
And all I can do and all I can take is I’ll cry very easily over what I hear about and see.

40:37.718 –> 40:39.159
I can be choked up right now.

40:39.379 –> 40:41.361
No parent should ever go through this.

40:41.481 –> 40:45.924
I want to see children’s cancers cured in my lifetime.

40:46.344 –> 40:47.465
So I do a golf tournament.

40:47.485 –> 40:48.786
It used to be with Artie Olson.

40:48.926 –> 40:50.567
We did it with Creed last year.

40:50.587 –> 40:52.148
We’re going to do it with Creed again this year.

40:55.272 –> 40:57.014
whatever, signature sponsor.

40:57.415 –> 41:02.682
But it’s really Mary Cromwell and myself that are doing the work, putting it all together.

41:02.802 –> 41:05.926
And then it’s a commercial real estate industry event.

41:06.716 –> 41:13.261
So my former marketing assistant at Artie Olson’s her ex, her name was Susan Rodriguez.

41:13.321 –> 41:15.002
Her ex-husband is Victor.

41:15.522 –> 41:16.723
He’s Craig.

41:16.743 –> 41:17.504
You’ve met him before.

41:17.644 –> 41:19.745
I’m sure he’s in this photo up here.

41:20.586 –> 41:23.288
Um, he’s divorced from her.

41:23.308 –> 41:25.569
He’s got a little wife over in Vietnam.

41:25.909 –> 41:26.310
And, uh,

41:26.730 –> 41:30.576
He’s working on this import export of bedroom furniture or whatever.

41:30.756 –> 41:35.824
And so he comes back right before he’s going to help me with last year’s tournament.

41:35.844 –> 41:41.232
And he said, Tim, I met this guy from New Zealand and he asked me,

41:42.310 –> 41:43.871
Victor, you know, I can’t do an accent.

41:44.872 –> 41:45.532
You’ll get in trouble.

41:45.592 –> 41:51.215
How many mates over in the United States that knows anything, anybody in the hospitality business?

41:51.776 –> 41:54.177
And Victor said, I know the perfect guy.

41:54.857 –> 42:04.743
So he owns a Vietnamese in Vietnam, a company that manufactures furniture for the hospitality business.

42:06.263 –> 42:16.888
I didn’t know anything about him or it, but I started asking some of my people I know in the industry, procurement guys and designers, and they said, shit, Tim,

42:17.788 –> 42:18.549
They’re legit.

42:19.149 –> 42:19.870
I’ve heard of them.

42:19.910 –> 42:21.371
Their furniture is great.

42:21.431 –> 42:22.271
They’re well run.

42:22.311 –> 42:24.453
They just don’t have anybody marketing them.

42:24.653 –> 42:25.554
You need to bring them in.

42:26.274 –> 42:27.355
Oh, they might now.

42:27.856 –> 42:31.638
So we started doing some Zoom meetings and then they flew me over there.

42:32.359 –> 42:33.720
I said, oh God, that’s a long flight.

42:33.740 –> 42:34.180
No, no, it’s okay.

42:34.200 –> 42:35.761
We’re going to fly you first class.

42:36.602 –> 42:42.867
I met the founder, which is Kit Scales, and he unfortunately died about a month ago.

42:43.367 –> 42:52.514
But he was 84, and he had already turned it over to Todd, who was his partner, Todd Brendel, shoot, 12, 15 years ago.

42:52.734 –> 42:54.875
And Todd is a piece of work.

42:56.256 –> 43:02.641
I’m hoping to get him over here more often because he’s brilliant about the business.

43:03.996 –> 43:08.930
He’s a fourth generation cabinet maker, boat building family.

43:09.349 –> 43:18.415
from New Zealand and he knows this business and he’s done some very, you know, amazing projects and our prices are wonderful.

43:18.435 –> 43:19.936
The quality is exceptional.

43:20.516 –> 43:26.721
I’ve toured the factories and we’re not, we don’t have little kids, you know, it’s no unsafe conditions.

43:27.261 –> 43:29.502
I was very pleased and I said, yeah, I’m in.

43:30.003 –> 43:36.387
And the greatest thing is I, you know, Colby’s great with me staying with Creed and this is my side hustle.

43:36.727 –> 43:42.936
And I don’t have to, you know, a lot of time I spend on it, but it could be very, you know, very good for me.

43:43.316 –> 43:43.897
That’s awesome.

43:44.378 –> 43:45.379
Especially right now.

43:45.399 –> 43:48.503
I, you know, Glenn and I have had conversations about this.

43:48.523 –> 43:52.829
I think the whole industry is, you know, coming out of COVID and China with its problems.

43:53.710 –> 43:59.072
And it’s, you know, perpetual delays and stuff not getting on the boat.

43:59.572 –> 44:00.413
People are pissed.

44:00.753 –> 44:02.794
And we’re bringing back manufacturing.

44:02.874 –> 44:09.896
Mexico is playing a huge part in manufacturing, not only on furniture, but through chips and everything else.

44:10.076 –> 44:12.257
And we’re, you know, Canada is as well.

44:12.317 –> 44:19.800
Vietnam, you know, if you’re going to make a $50 billion infrastructure project,

44:20.725 –> 44:21.927
Proposition happened.

44:22.287 –> 44:28.335
You want to go to someplace like Vietnam where you’ve got a labor pool that’s going to make sense.

44:28.936 –> 44:33.121
You’ve got, you know, 50, 75, 80 million people.

44:33.682 –> 44:38.628
OK, the problem with Mexico is their labor pool is not as big.

44:39.477 –> 44:40.998
The other problem is the language.

44:41.379 –> 44:52.127
And we need to have, especially on the chip side, we need to have somebody that understands the Spanish shorthand and the English and bring those both sides together so that they can make the right chips.

44:53.208 –> 44:59.613
But the furniture manufacturing there, and you’re not the first one that’s brought that up to me, and I find it fascinating.

45:00.353 –> 45:04.837
And it’s certainly a lot easier there than going to China or going to,

45:05.526 –> 45:18.409
whatever Egypt and a couple of other countries, you know, there’s definitely, you know, the, uh, trade embargoes and the, uh, uh, yeah, with, with China and, uh, but I digress.

45:18.609 –> 45:19.789
Yeah.

45:19.829 –> 45:22.929
So you’re doing like a standup desk kind of thing.

45:23.570 –> 45:24.050
I’m sorry.

45:24.110 –> 45:24.330
No.

45:24.550 –> 45:24.810
Am I?

45:24.830 –> 45:25.990
No, no.

45:26.010 –> 45:27.430
You have, is that what you were saying?

45:27.450 –> 45:28.531
This stand up desk.

45:28.831 –> 45:29.371
Yeah.

45:29.431 –> 45:29.831
Right.

45:30.291 –> 45:30.451
Right.

45:31.638 –> 45:32.659
I’m missing what you’re saying.

45:32.699 –> 45:33.499
Am I moving or?

45:34.060 –> 45:34.540
No, no, no.

45:34.920 –> 45:39.244
As I said before, Glenn is a terrible podcaster.

45:39.724 –> 45:41.505
So he’s not really making himself very clear.

45:41.605 –> 45:46.589
I have a hard time sitting still for, uh, we’re not talking about, we’re not talking about this.

45:46.609 –> 45:49.151
We were talking about your business.

45:49.711 –> 45:52.533
Lobby’s get, but guest rooms mostly.

45:52.593 –> 45:59.458
And you know, it’s anything you, you manufacture, uh, you know, under the, the interior designer will design it.

45:59.879 –> 45:59.979
Um,

46:01.317 –> 46:07.061
It’ll have to be made somewhere, and why not make it cheaper and, in our case, better?

46:07.541 –> 46:17.668
Well, unfortunately, based on where my kids go to college, I like overpaying for things, so I don’t think this is going to work out.

46:17.688 –> 46:19.569
Now I think I’m getting your joke, yes.

46:20.109 –> 46:25.473
I’ll be sure when you meet Todd Brendel, you give him a design of what you need, and he’ll get it to you.

46:25.553 –> 46:28.795
It’s the shipping for two pieces that might be a little…

46:31.056 –> 46:55.125
we’ll pack it in with an order for a hotel out here i’m working on this deal in kona and i think we’ve got it and i’m trying to find one little piece and i’m gonna say todd be sure to make one and get it shipped somewhere to la because i want it in my house as being here’s the first job right there you go balanza b-a-l-a-n-z-a okay cool very cool

46:55.956 –> 46:56.396
Love it.

46:56.737 –> 46:56.997
Yeah.

46:57.678 –> 46:58.258
That’s awesome.

46:58.879 –> 47:01.802
So you’re going to be, are you going to be at the ALS conference?

47:02.142 –> 47:02.943
Yes, I am.

47:03.603 –> 47:04.104
I’ll be there.

47:04.124 –> 47:11.391
And in fact, we’re having a, with Creed in conjunction with Penta Builders, a large, good GC.

47:11.431 –> 47:18.437
We’re doing a happy hour party at Tom’s Watch Bar, Monday night, five o’clock to seven.

47:18.998 –> 47:19.939
Please come and join us.

47:20.279 –> 47:20.659
I was fun.

47:20.679 –> 47:21.820
Like Craig, was it last year?

47:22.521 –> 47:23.562
We were there last year.

47:23.582 –> 47:25.143
That was last year.

47:25.163 –> 47:25.684
Right.

47:26.164 –> 47:29.166
All of the other parties that were around there and joined ours.

47:29.227 –> 47:30.668
And we had a pretty darn good time.

47:30.968 –> 47:31.629
Yeah.

47:31.669 –> 47:33.250
The same, same thing.

47:33.510 –> 47:34.111
We’ll be there.

47:34.431 –> 47:34.671
Yeah.

47:34.711 –> 47:37.533
We like, we like it to be fun, lively.

47:37.553 –> 47:39.415
We’re not going to.

47:39.475 –> 47:42.057
I’ve never known you to like fun, Kim.

47:42.457 –> 47:42.758
Yeah.

47:43.118 –> 47:44.439
I’ve never known you to like fun.

47:44.639 –> 47:46.461
You’re always AB all business.

47:47.025 –> 47:53.852
Well, I do like to go out and hear music, and there’s some good parties where some of these companies will have bands there, and that’s a blast.

47:54.733 –> 47:58.297
Do you still have your megaphone that you got for your birthday?

47:59.238 –> 47:59.698
I do.

47:59.718 –> 48:03.062
He got us kicked out of a restaurant using that damn thing.

48:03.082 –> 48:04.583
You’re talking about my 50th birthday.

48:04.623 –> 48:06.065
Yeah, 15 years ago.

48:06.085 –> 48:06.305
Yeah, yeah.

48:09.895 –> 48:31.218
thought it’d be a good idea to use the bullhorn at south coast plaza at the clubhouse restaurant that kevin costner owned yeah it wasn’t they boom 86 of us and uh irvin pierston were there in our sandmans and um that was a hoot when we had a like a big limo and we ended up at the harp inn

48:31.958 –> 48:35.480
And I started doing like one of those, like, wow, I’m lost.

48:35.540 –> 48:39.461
How did I go to an Irish bar once you’d be kicked out of a classy joint?

48:39.561 –> 48:40.202
Yeah.

48:40.582 –> 48:49.045
Some idiot brought real moonshine and I, I don’t like whiskey at all, but this didn’t taste bad at all.

48:49.146 –> 48:56.909
And it was, it was, you know, the Kramakazi I said, I used to make a drink called the Kramakazi and it’s made with pure grain alcohol.

48:57.289 –> 48:59.030
So these, this is probably same thing.

48:59.827 –> 49:04.711
But I drank too much, and I didn’t see the end of that party.

49:04.731 –> 49:06.593
But I heard it was a lot of fun.

49:06.653 –> 49:09.375
Yeah, hey, listen, we’ve all made that tactical error before.

49:09.415 –> 49:13.738
I was sitting in this room, you know, kind of working, and it was like a Saturday night.

49:13.778 –> 49:14.979
I was doing something.

49:14.999 –> 49:16.621
That’s it.

49:16.661 –> 49:17.221
That’s it.

49:24.107 –> 49:24.907
Thank you, David.

49:25.227 –> 49:28.709
That would be me back in my backyard, behind my backyard.

49:28.749 –> 49:31.369
I’ve gotten back up to like a nature preserve.

49:31.429 –> 49:35.191
Eddie used to have the Tiki Bar, too.

49:35.251 –> 49:35.871
Yep, yep.

49:36.011 –> 49:41.653
It was in the LA Times, the Tiki Bar, because I was encroaching on city property.

49:42.713 –> 49:45.394
Anyway, one of my kids walked in the room.

49:45.434 –> 49:48.755
He said, Dad, there’s a couple at the door.

49:49.015 –> 49:50.596
He’s like eight years old, 10.

49:50.936 –> 49:51.116
Right.

49:52.375 –> 49:55.302
And I think they’re from the lodging conferences.

49:55.523 –> 49:56.645
What are you talking about?

49:56.665 –> 49:58.088
It was a complete surprise to me.

49:58.149 –> 50:01.697
Mary put it together and I opened the door and it’s Irvin Kirsten.

50:03.402 –> 50:05.004
I went nuts.

50:05.104 –> 50:05.964
Then it was on.

50:06.605 –> 50:07.485
It’s like, what?

50:07.726 –> 50:09.327
A surprise party for me?

50:09.347 –> 50:11.688
I had no idea.

50:11.929 –> 50:13.289
Great birthday party.

50:13.490 –> 50:14.350
It was a lot of fun.

50:14.710 –> 50:15.751
Was this the 50th?

50:15.811 –> 50:17.532
That was my 50th.

50:17.572 –> 50:18.933
Just a few years ago.

50:18.973 –> 50:22.176
Glenn just had his 50th.

50:22.876 –> 50:24.477
Not just, dude.

50:24.738 –> 50:25.718
That was three years ago.

50:25.778 –> 50:26.639
Three years ago now.

50:26.699 –> 50:26.859
Yeah.

50:31.918 –> 50:33.119
I don’t believe this guy.

50:33.339 –> 50:35.280
There it is.

50:36.121 –> 50:40.023
Hey, you know, I think producer Dave is trying to get a raise or an award.

50:40.143 –> 50:42.084
Nobody even wants this.

50:44.166 –> 50:45.406
The city didn’t even know.

50:45.526 –> 50:47.407
And you were 48 at the time.

50:47.428 –> 50:50.469
Producer Dave pulled up an article referring to what Tim just said.

50:50.489 –> 50:55.833
I removed, paid for the demolition of a pool in my backyard to put in a new and better one.

50:56.273 –> 50:59.175
And I wanted to get my permit to have access.

50:59.635 –> 51:00.896
And I had to convince the city.

51:02.088 –> 51:02.969
you own this land.

51:03.009 –> 51:03.849
No, I think it’s County.

51:04.310 –> 51:05.210
No, you own it.

51:05.591 –> 51:07.092
And so finally, I think I just did it.

51:07.192 –> 51:14.937
But that now it’s like, as soon as I put a tiki bar on it, now it’s like, you know, Central Park importance to them.

51:15.298 –> 51:18.380
But I said, I put it was in writing somewhere.

51:18.460 –> 51:25.925
I said, anybody who wants to come and have a margarita on my tiki bar, anybody can come at any time.

51:26.646 –> 51:26.966
It does.

51:27.006 –> 51:28.267
What are your neighbors have it now?

51:29.088 –> 51:29.848
My tiki bar?

51:30.248 –> 51:30.488
Yeah.

51:30.788 –> 51:34.509
No, we had to demolish it because it really just got termite ridden.

51:36.090 –> 51:40.450
That’s not a nice thing about to say about the people that were hanging out at the tiki bar.

51:40.470 –> 51:51.693
The little trivia behind that is the guys who built that with me, for me, one was the LA police detective that found the glove.

51:52.935 –> 51:55.157
The OJ glove.

51:55.177 –> 51:57.099
Did he have it in the toolbox?

51:57.139 –> 51:59.181
Was it in the toolbox?

52:01.222 –> 52:01.363
What?

52:01.383 –> 52:02.684
He had the glove in the toolbox?

52:03.104 –> 52:07.728
I can’t remember where he found it, but the glove, the famous thing.

52:07.748 –> 52:10.290
The glove that didn’t fit.

52:10.410 –> 52:14.674
The other cop became the chief of police for…

52:17.802 –> 52:18.663
City of Long Beach.

52:18.703 –> 52:21.264
He was assistant chief of police in LA.

52:21.745 –> 52:23.366
And then he was the LA County Sheriff.

52:23.446 –> 52:26.208
And he’s a wonderful guy, Jim McDonald.

52:26.308 –> 52:30.030
Oh, so he’s not the LA County Sheriff that’s under indictment or about to be?

52:30.070 –> 52:32.132
No, Jim McDonald should still be there.

52:32.192 –> 52:34.193
And Jim McDonald should be our governor.

52:34.293 –> 52:38.296
I mean, he’s unbelievable, but he’s too smart to go into politics.

52:39.116 –> 52:39.997
Great, great person.

52:40.937 –> 52:44.460
I wanted to tell you a little story, if you don’t mind, because you brought that article.

52:44.560 –> 52:47.382
And yeah, that’s what has always made me nervous about

52:48.382 –> 52:52.866
things like this or what I idiot Tim might say.

52:53.847 –> 53:03.794
I had a friend who was a LA times music writer and he was very well known as he was always on the Sunday calendar critiquing music.

53:04.375 –> 53:07.597
And so I knew him actually through Indian guides.

53:07.677 –> 53:10.199
One of his sons was, we’re in our Indian guide thing.

53:10.819 –> 53:12.501
And so when they had that,

53:14.016 –> 53:15.297
Oh, it was called desert trip.

53:15.357 –> 53:18.679
It was not Coachella, but they kind of called it old fella.

53:19.079 –> 53:20.260
Yeah.

53:20.420 –> 53:20.780
Yeah.

53:20.860 –> 53:23.822
That’s the stones were there.

53:23.842 –> 53:24.502
Yeah.

53:25.082 –> 53:25.383
Yeah.

53:25.423 –> 53:27.504
When I heard about it, I wish I got to go there.

53:27.644 –> 53:27.964
Yeah.

53:27.984 –> 53:28.224
Okay.

53:28.624 –> 53:31.626
So he checks in with me and he, cause he knows I love music.

53:31.646 –> 53:34.748
He said, Tim, I’ll bet you’re going out to a desert trip.

53:35.308 –> 53:35.909
Yeah, I am.

53:35.949 –> 53:36.729
He will do me a favor.

53:36.749 –> 53:37.810
I’m going to check in with you.

53:38.710 –> 53:48.320
I’d like to send texts back and forth and give me some idea of what, cause you’ve seen these bands years ago and you’re, you’ve been to concert a lot and just tell me kind of what you think.

53:48.380 –> 53:58.591
So the very first night I came home all jacked up, you know, it was, uh, Bob Dylan and whoever followed him was 10 times better than Bob Dylan.

53:58.711 –> 54:00.233
I think it might’ve been, uh,

54:00.859 –> 54:23.969
anybody but who knows it was one of the big names and i told him how great through the weekend yeah you know this craig this story through the crystal oh my god the the who unbelievable you bring willing stone mccartney you know but bob dylan unfortunately he’s just mailed in and he didn’t engage with the audience and he sucked

54:25.318 –> 54:32.802
Monday morning, when I get back from it, here it is, right smack dab at a front type thing.

54:33.002 –> 54:35.463
Bob Dylan sucks.

54:35.503 –> 54:40.266
Bob Dylan sucks, says Tim Cromwell, comment that goes to Tim Cromwell.

54:42.626 –> 54:44.107
That’s going on the t-shirt.

54:44.507 –> 54:45.867
That’s going on the t-shirt.

54:46.367 –> 54:48.048
A knock was going to come on my door.

54:48.148 –> 54:49.048
Oh, that is.

54:49.188 –> 54:50.689
What do you got to say about me?

54:50.709 –> 54:52.310
Oh, my God.

54:52.390 –> 54:57.051
Who the hell am I to say Bob Dylan sucks?

54:57.131 –> 54:59.312
I would never want that printed.

54:59.872 –> 55:00.652
Yes, you would.

55:00.813 –> 55:01.593
Come on.

55:02.472 –> 55:03.233
Yes, you would.

55:03.593 –> 55:05.214
So ever since that.

55:06.014 –> 55:07.235
Oh, that’s too funny.

55:07.275 –> 55:08.676
Now, it’s funny.

55:08.776 –> 55:12.619
I was trying when Drew Hardy was over at Tarsadia Hotels.

55:12.879 –> 55:13.940
This is 100 years ago.

55:14.280 –> 55:14.540
Yeah.

55:14.660 –> 55:14.980
All right.

55:15.441 –> 55:21.224
I’m trying to get their business and, you know, I’m in their office all the time.

55:21.284 –> 55:23.866
And finally, Drew calls.

55:23.886 –> 55:29.270
He goes, hey, we’re going over to the Grove and we’ve got tickets to see Dylan.

55:29.310 –> 55:30.430
So why don’t you join us?

55:30.771 –> 55:30.991
Oh, yeah.

55:33.336 –> 55:36.561
First set, Dylan’s electric, and it’s great.

55:37.602 –> 55:41.267
Second set, he absolutely sucks.

55:42.329 –> 55:46.535
And Glenn and Drew and I are out at the bar at the Grove.

55:47.622 –> 55:54.247
comparing Cabo Wabo tequila that just came out against a couple of other brands.

55:54.527 –> 55:59.291
So we missed the entire acoustic set just doing tequila shots.

55:59.791 –> 56:00.692
Oh, that sucks.

56:01.193 –> 56:05.396
And then they became one of my two very best clients, them and Westmont Hospitality.

56:05.756 –> 56:06.637
Oh, that’s cool.

56:07.397 –> 56:09.119
Luckily, you didn’t get asked.

56:09.179 –> 56:13.102
Now, we had Drew on the show about a year, year and a half ago now.

56:13.562 –> 56:13.942
I love Drew.

56:13.962 –> 56:16.224
Where he was our roving reporter.

56:16.244 –> 56:18.525
He was at a country music festival thing.

56:18.885 –> 56:19.605
At Coachella.

56:20.226 –> 56:21.827
At Coachella or Stagecoach?

56:21.987 –> 56:22.887
No, Stagecoach.

56:23.127 –> 56:23.547
Stagecoach.

56:23.567 –> 56:25.188
Yeah, I go every year to Stagecoach.

56:25.469 –> 56:27.890
Ah, we got another reporter.

56:28.070 –> 56:28.990
I think I’ve done it.

56:30.011 –> 56:34.633
I always like, because I like to go to the bathroom when I want to go to the bathroom, which is often.

56:35.314 –> 56:36.214
Or bladder issues.

56:36.234 –> 56:37.035
Many of these.

56:38.839 –> 56:41.082
I can’t be in general, you know, admission.

56:41.182 –> 56:45.568
So I always bought the extra ticket and the VIP, you know,

56:46.138 –> 57:11.602
pit i’m behind you on that they way oversold vip yeah very important pissing is what it stands for by the way so they way way oversold the uh general admission ticket last year and i’m sure that they made a lot of money on it and that’s another so it took forever to get through the crowd to get to uh yeah mainstream i always call them dodger stadium troughs you know right next to some guy

57:12.923 –> 57:15.245
Yeah, it’s funny you should say that, Tim.

57:15.305 –> 57:20.608
I noticed that the further south, the less privacy you get.

57:20.668 –> 57:24.450
Like up here in New England, you got like walls between the urinals.

57:24.550 –> 57:26.332
Then you get down to like Virginia.

57:26.552 –> 57:28.533
You don’t even live in New England.

57:28.793 –> 57:32.495
And by the time – I’m not saying I live there.

57:32.555 –> 57:33.916
I’m not saying I piss there.

57:34.236 –> 57:35.918
We like to look into there.

57:36.018 –> 57:39.680
Like the New Orleans, you get the troughs and holes in the floor and stuff like that.

57:40.720 –> 57:41.281
Oh, God.

57:42.489 –> 58:00.944
too funny i’m smiling right now craig because you and i know a story of lodging conference and i i don’t think we should go into that no no no no no no mr ed stories today maybe another time remarkable man i’ve ever seen well listen it’s gonna have to be another time because we are ready for this

58:07.642 –> 58:09.843
Can’t believe this hour is already over.

58:09.943 –> 58:14.084
We are, you over 50, guys, and your bathroom issues are cracking me up, says Terrain.

58:14.545 –> 58:16.365
Love you, sis.

58:16.585 –> 58:17.606
Totally fucked up.

58:18.006 –> 58:25.289
All right, Tim, this is the point where you get to plug shamelessly, although I feel like you were practicing a little bit.

58:25.409 –> 58:27.049
Wasn’t that the whole show?

58:27.390 –> 58:28.930
Yeah, that’s what I thought.

58:28.950 –> 58:30.431
I thought that’s what they were all hanging out.

58:30.471 –> 58:32.792
Yeah, but now, like, really give us a call to action.

58:32.972 –> 58:34.492
We’re still on the air.

58:34.552 –> 58:36.233
People are still here, connected.

58:37.043 –> 58:39.985
No, everybody signed off after minute two, but you know.

58:42.467 –> 58:46.330
I’d only plug my two, you know, companies that I’m representing.

58:46.350 –> 58:47.151
And one is Creed.

58:47.191 –> 58:51.034
We’re a national developer and we offer.

58:51.701 –> 58:57.263
project and construction management, development fee, you know, services throughout the country.

58:57.543 –> 58:58.703
And we’re really good at what we do.

58:58.723 –> 59:02.504
We’ve got great people, a lot smarter than I am that represent us.

59:03.164 –> 59:05.545
I see Bruce Ford there.

59:06.445 –> 59:09.686
And Belanza, which I do, you know, represent.

59:11.447 –> 59:15.409
And any interior designers out there, procurement companies might be listening.

59:15.870 –> 59:20.173
All I want is an opportunity to bid and you’ll be sold on us.

59:20.653 –> 59:21.794
I guarantee it.

59:22.534 –> 59:23.014
There you go.

59:23.775 –> 59:24.075
Awesome.

59:24.575 –> 59:27.517
How about an email or a cell phone?

59:27.597 –> 59:29.699
Creed is Tim.

59:29.919 –> 59:32.841

59:50.505 –> 59:56.048
And that’s basically my LLC that I work, you know, as an independent contractor with these both companies.

59:56.068 –> 59:58.629
And that’s Tim at CromwellConnect.com.

59:58.929 –> 01:00:01.731
My cell phone is 949-923-0790.

01:00:01.751 –> 01:00:07.054
If anybody wants to text me, I’ll finish that story I was about to write.

01:00:07.074 –> 01:00:07.474
Yeah.

01:00:08.695 –> 01:00:15.061
I was going to get the punchline to some jokes and say, if you want to know the joke part of it, call me.

01:00:15.802 –> 01:00:16.343
I like that.

01:00:16.423 –> 01:00:17.524
I like that call to action.

01:00:17.604 –> 01:00:19.245
Craig, your turn, brother.

01:00:20.547 –> 01:00:21.087
Guess what?

01:00:22.168 –> 01:00:24.330
We’re back in production on Click Connect.

01:00:24.410 –> 01:00:28.214
We got a new show that we just filmed with Matt Hostendler.

01:00:28.314 –> 01:00:29.655
Can’t wait for you guys to see that.

01:00:30.843 –> 01:00:33.505
And we’re going to Alice.

01:00:33.885 –> 01:00:35.445
We’ll be up in LA next week.

01:00:35.506 –> 01:00:36.166
Glenn will be there.

01:00:36.246 –> 01:00:36.986
Tim will be there.

01:00:37.026 –> 01:00:38.507
David will not be there.

01:00:38.967 –> 01:00:48.412
But David will be joining us all on March 6th and 7th for the 7th Annual California Lodging Investment Conference at the West and South Coast Plaza Hotel.

01:00:48.812 –> 01:00:50.033

Yeah, baby.

01:00:58.245 –> 01:01:06.530
I was going to start my own conference, the Developers Investment Conference, and it was going to be dick, but I didn’t think it would work very well.

01:01:08.831 –> 01:01:09.212
Yeah.

01:01:09.252 –> 01:01:11.053
You might get canceled for that one.

01:01:11.073 –> 01:01:11.393
Yeah.

01:01:12.892 –> 01:01:13.252
Cut him off.

01:01:13.512 –> 01:01:15.394
Where’s the hook?

01:01:15.474 –> 01:01:18.756
Additionally, you got the Sandman from the Apollo Theater.

01:01:18.896 –> 01:01:19.777
He’s got the hook, right?

01:01:20.017 –> 01:01:20.537
That’s it.

01:01:21.138 –> 01:01:22.179
All right.

01:01:22.439 –> 01:01:24.680
Next week, of course, I’ll be at Alice on Wednesday.

01:01:24.740 –> 01:01:29.244
I’ll be doing a keynote speech at the luncheon of the Global Hospitality Talks.

01:01:29.344 –> 01:01:30.404
Go check that out.

01:01:30.444 –> 01:01:31.465
Hope to see you there.

01:01:31.785 –> 01:01:35.448
I’ll just be hanging around in town going to Alice Design next week.

01:01:37.530 –> 01:01:40.232
Reach out to me on our No Vacancy LinkedIn page.

01:01:40.292 –> 01:01:44.676
I’m hosting an amazing session on Thursday, 4 p.m.

01:01:44.756 –> 01:01:46.017
Eastern Time, 1 p.m.

01:01:46.077 –> 01:01:46.857
Pacific.

01:01:47.538 –> 01:01:54.163
And that’s going to be with my good friends over at Integra and Rich Garcia, the SVP of Beverage and Food.

01:01:55.407 –> 01:01:56.248
I don’t, they did that.

01:01:56.308 –> 01:02:01.952
Not me at Remington, uh, hospitality, but I’m figuring it out because it’s beverage first.

01:02:01.992 –> 01:02:04.715
Cause they’re making, you know, bank on beverage.

01:02:05.195 –> 01:02:07.277
It makes sense, but it’s just hard to get it right.

01:02:07.617 –> 01:02:10.239
So, uh, that’s all, uh, next week.

01:02:10.539 –> 01:02:16.324
Um, week after that, I’ll be, uh, doing a keynote speech for first hospitality group in Toledo, Ohio.

01:02:16.384 –> 01:02:17.765
Can’t wait to see that city.

01:02:17.866 –> 01:02:19.787
I’m a big, uh, mud hens fan.

01:02:19.827 –> 01:02:24.251
So no visit, uh, you know, Toledo little mash reference there for you.

01:02:24.411 –> 01:02:24.471
Uh,

01:02:24.591 –> 01:02:27.734
Last week in February, I’ll be hosting a Remington Hospitalities event.

01:02:28.074 –> 01:02:36.242
I’ll also be on a panel at NEWH’s biannual conference in Nashville, Tennessee on the Saturday of that event.

01:02:36.482 –> 01:02:38.964
Jesus, we’ve got a lot of shows already over time.

01:02:38.984 –> 01:02:41.126
We don’t got time for all these 90,000 new things.

01:02:41.226 –> 01:02:42.387
All right.

01:02:42.428 –> 01:02:43.088
Good point, Dave.

01:02:43.268 –> 01:02:44.630
I’m fucking everywhere.

01:02:44.650 –> 01:02:46.992
Yeah, but, Dave, why don’t you tell him he needs to get a new camera?

01:02:47.352 –> 01:02:47.532
Yeah.

01:02:48.113 –> 01:02:49.114
Yeah, I got to get a new camera.

01:02:49.134 –> 01:02:50.375
I’ve said that for 10 shows running.

01:02:54.261 –> 01:02:54.762
All right, buddy.

01:02:54.782 –> 01:02:55.703
Aloha.

01:02:55.723 –> 01:02:56.885
Thank you very much.

01:02:56.945 –> 01:02:57.606
See you next time.

01:02:57.626 –> 01:02:57.686
Bye.

01:02:57.706 –> 01:02:57.806
Okay.
