Yes, indeed?
15
00:00:46.600 --> 00:00:47.920
Number one.
16
00:00:48.679 --> 00:00:52.439
It's two thirty in the afternoon and Randy wants a snack.
17
00:00:52.799 --> 00:00:54.880
Where is his go to snack food?
18

Oh? No, no, what's your go to snack food?
20
00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:04.599
Like my go to a go to snack? Good question?
21
00:01:04.760 --> 00:01:08.760
Maybe a peanut butter sandwich with a glass of milk.
22
00:01:09.680 --> 00:01:11.280
That that often is the case.
23
00:01:12.319 --> 00:01:16.040
I have been known to uh pull out of can
24
00:01:16.079 --> 00:01:16.920
of sardines.
25
00:01:19.239 --> 00:01:23.400
I like, hey, you know I I it's funny with
26
00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:24.079
the sardines.
27
00:01:24.120 --> 00:01:26.400
My I remember my dad used to love I and
28
00:01:26.439 --> 00:01:28.200
I think because he was in the he was in
29
00:01:28.239 --> 00:01:30.040
World War Two, so he was in the Marines. I
30
00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:32.640
bet they ate a lot of sardines, and he would
31
00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:35.719
he would have sardines and saltines.
32
00:01:35.120 --> 00:01:36.280
And a big glass of milk.
33
00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:38.799
I know, I know it.
34
00:01:39.280 --> 00:01:42.480
You know, I'm very, I'm very. It's it's a you know,
35
00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:44.640
it's a sentimental journey perhaps, but.
36
00:01:44.799 --> 00:01:45.359
I love it.
37
00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:49.879
I know I know that combination very well. Yeah, great
38
00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:54.640
answer number two. If you're on a road trip, what
39
00:01:54.879 --> 00:01:59.040
is one musical artist to be banned or person has.
40
00:01:58.920 --> 00:02:03.319
To be on a playlist?
41
00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:09.199
Well, don, Well, let's see Who've I've been listening to lately?
42
00:02:10.319 --> 00:02:10.439
Uh?
43
00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:14.560
Shoot you go.
44
00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:19.240
Now, I got to think of thinking. I could say
45
00:02:19.240 --> 00:02:21.560
Don Henley, that's no problem, greatest hits.
46
00:02:21.639 --> 00:02:25.199
That would be good. I'll be good. But I've been
47
00:02:25.240 --> 00:02:28.800
listening to Oh for crying out loud.
48
00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:29.560
Ah.
49
00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:34.280
Yeah, let's go with Don Henley because I can't think
50
00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:37.520
of think of My first choice would be somebody else.
51
00:02:37.520 --> 00:02:39.199
But I'll go with Don Henley Greatest Hits.
52
00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:42.840
Oh next to you to say? What am I playing? Yeah?
53
00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:46.039
A hotel California. You know you can go from there.
54
00:02:46.199 --> 00:02:50.639
He puts some wonderful tunes and great lyrics together over
55
00:02:50.639 --> 00:02:51.039
the years.
56
00:02:51.479 --> 00:02:54.039
On a side note, because that is my chargule I want.
57
00:02:54.159 --> 00:02:57.039
On a side note, it is funny.
58
00:02:56.759 --> 00:03:01.319
How the Eagles had so many talented people in the band. Yeah,
59
00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:05.000
all had solo stuff, but also we had solo stuff
60
00:03:05.039 --> 00:03:09.400
within the band, you know, Tommy time, then Fry had
61
00:03:09.439 --> 00:03:12.039
his leads. I guess they were all very talented. I
62
00:03:12.120 --> 00:03:16.080
kind of and so not Henley, I mean some second
63
00:03:16.960 --> 00:03:18.120
and of the innocen.
64
00:03:18.840 --> 00:03:21.520
Yeah, yeah, oh that, Oh really you can?
65
00:03:21.800 --> 00:03:25.360
I mean a dirty launch boys. I mean there's so much,
66
00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:27.680
there's so much of him you talk about heavy.
67
00:03:27.960 --> 00:03:28.159
Yeah.
68
00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:30.439
I had a good friend visit from a good college
69
00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:33.080
friend who had never been to LA and came out
70
00:03:33.080 --> 00:03:35.159
to see me a couple of years ago, and I
71
00:03:35.240 --> 00:03:37.919
put together all my favorite albums that I wanted to
72
00:03:38.120 --> 00:03:41.879
expose him to and Don Henley best greatest, This was
73
00:03:41.960 --> 00:03:45.520
definitely one to get him in the La the LA mode.
74
00:03:45.919 --> 00:03:49.199
But let me tell you who I would have said first, Okay,
75
00:03:49.240 --> 00:03:52.680
because I've been listening to him lately, Bruce Hornsby.
76
00:03:52.680 --> 00:03:54.919
Well, I said in The Innocence, which he wrote that
77
00:03:55.280 --> 00:03:56.080
for Don Henley.
78
00:03:56.919 --> 00:03:59.560
Yeah, yeah, there you go. Bruce Hornsby.
79
00:03:59.719 --> 00:04:02.479
I mean, and what I mean I loved listening to
80
00:04:02.520 --> 00:04:05.759
his piano and he gets rolling on those keys.
81
00:04:05.759 --> 00:04:07.439
Man, he's a he's a beautiful thing.
82
00:04:07.879 --> 00:04:11.919
So that, in a sense was written by Bruce Hornsby.
83
00:04:11.960 --> 00:04:16.199
Actually right, Bruce was an La Times writer. I remember
84
00:04:16.279 --> 00:04:19.600
he was a writer. No kidding, he's right, Collins, and
85
00:04:19.639 --> 00:04:23.000
then he went into music, No kidding, Hu, I mean
86
00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:25.759
it's huge. I mean I was first got Mandolin Rain.
87
00:04:25.839 --> 00:04:26.399
Almost saw me.
88
00:04:26.439 --> 00:04:32.720
That's the ball, oh Mandolin Rain. Yeah, yeah, it's well,
89
00:04:32.759 --> 00:04:34.759
this is a is an odd side note.
90
00:04:35.120 --> 00:04:38.480
Yeah, I had, I have, I have loved, I have
91
00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:41.360
been ever since I was able to afford it again,
92
00:04:41.480 --> 00:04:45.199
I've I've owned horses and had I had a beautiful
93
00:04:45.240 --> 00:04:49.399
third bread mayor and I started playing Bruce Hornsby back
94
00:04:49.439 --> 00:04:55.279
in two thousand and seventeen eighteen, just before she unfortunately died,
95
00:04:56.519 --> 00:05:01.920
and I listened to that album now, Mandolin Rain, and
96
00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:06.279
it will bring me to tears. I used to take
97
00:05:06.319 --> 00:05:09.319
that mayor. I would go to the barn where she stayed,
98
00:05:09.720 --> 00:05:12.240
and if it was raining, I would lead her from
99
00:05:12.240 --> 00:05:15.720
her pastor her where she was turned out, down into
100
00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:19.800
the hay barn and it'd be raining and I'd let
101
00:05:19.800 --> 00:05:21.759
her eat hay in the hay barn.
102
00:05:22.519 --> 00:05:25.920
And when I listened to mandalin Ray, it just kills me.
103
00:05:26.279 --> 00:05:27.279
It just kills me.
104
00:05:27.800 --> 00:05:30.560
I'm a huge equine person, So it's funny you bring
105
00:05:30.600 --> 00:05:30.959
that up.
106
00:05:31.720 --> 00:05:34.600
It's really really was a kid kid.
107
00:05:34.680 --> 00:05:38.000
My aunt had a farm, yeah, Elsnore down here in
108
00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:40.639
Los Angeles, outside Los Angeles. I used to go to
109
00:05:41.040 --> 00:05:43.439

110
00:05:43.920 --> 00:05:47.399

111
00:05:47.480 --> 00:05:47.879
I love.
112
00:05:47.720 --> 00:05:50.319
Horses, no kidding, no kidding, La.
113
00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:53.160
It's a weird LA TV group. We're all kind of
114
00:05:53.160 --> 00:05:56.480
equine people, in questioned people, so we all know each other.
115
00:05:57.040 --> 00:05:59.800
Well, you know, you know, La was a big horse community.
116
00:05:59.800 --> 00:06:02.199
I mean with the Westerns, going back to the to
117
00:06:02.279 --> 00:06:04.519
the film early film days. I mean there were a
118
00:06:04.560 --> 00:06:07.399
lot of ranches, a ton of ranches. I mean it's
119
00:06:07.439 --> 00:06:10.759
it's been a big horse place for many years.
120
00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:13.240
You could tell now, but yeah, back in the day, yes,
121
00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:15.279
And I I said an aunt who lived in the

how to the park now is not a race track anymore?
126
00:06:25.480 --> 00:06:29.680
It's always going I see, I tell you five random questions.
127
00:06:29.720 --> 00:06:30.639
You never know what comes out.
128
00:06:30.759 --> 00:06:32.560

174
00:09:17.240 --> 00:09:22.039
SAG screening screening, scening screening, and and Gary Oleman said,
175
00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:24.159
you know, he said, you know, he's had such a
176
00:09:24.159 --> 00:09:27.120
great film career and great career in general, but he said,
177
00:09:27.200 --> 00:09:31.759
this is one of the great great experiences of my
178
00:09:32.039 --> 00:09:35.200
of my acting life, you know, doing this show with
179
00:09:35.320 --> 00:09:35.960
these people.
180
00:09:36.600 --> 00:09:38.879
And you know when you start seeing that through the
181
00:09:39.120 --> 00:09:39.480
through the.
182
00:09:39.399 --> 00:09:42.679
Eyes of someone with his background and his his resume,
183
00:09:42.840 --> 00:09:45.120
it's like, yeah, it's it's great.
184
00:09:45.759 --> 00:09:50.559
Yeah, there before almost their kids. I love side notes.
185
00:09:50.600 --> 00:09:52.759
I love it. Yes.
186
00:09:53.639 --> 00:10:07.559
Do you remember a childhood toy that you liked?
187
00:10:09.399 --> 00:10:09.639
Well?
188
00:10:09.840 --> 00:10:14.879
I loved I mean I loved playing with toy soldiers, toy,
189
00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:19.799
the toy the little figures you have jos.
190
00:10:21.159 --> 00:10:21.639
Yeah.
191
00:10:22.039 --> 00:10:25.039
Yeah, And I'll never forget, you know, you could, you
192
00:10:25.039 --> 00:10:27.840
could sit, there'd be these advertisements and comic books and stuff.
193
00:10:27.840 --> 00:10:30.159
We're send off and get get these soldiers, you know,
194
00:10:30.600 --> 00:10:31.279
and I'll never forget.
195
00:10:31.399 --> 00:10:33.080
We sent off to get these soldiers.
196
00:10:33.159 --> 00:10:36.480
And it was like this whole little you know, I
197
00:10:36.480 --> 00:10:40.320
don't know, twenty thirty little soldiers that you're getting, you know,
198
00:10:41.039 --> 00:10:45.200
you know, World War two US US soldiers. And we
199
00:10:45.360 --> 00:10:49.320
finally got them, and it came in this tiny box
200
00:10:50.279 --> 00:10:54.120
and I think, wait a minute, we wanted all these soldiers.
201
00:10:54.159 --> 00:10:55.600
It's in this little box.
202
00:10:56.440 --> 00:11:00.519
But then you open the box and it's like it's
203
00:11:00.600 --> 00:11:05.000
like expanding foam or something. It's like suddenly you realize.
204
00:11:04.759 --> 00:11:06.799
Yeah, they're all in there, but it didn't look like
205
00:11:06.840 --> 00:11:09.840
it when you got the box. But I'll never forget
206
00:11:09.960 --> 00:11:12.480
getting that box of soldiers and at first being thinking
207
00:11:12.519 --> 00:11:14.720
I was going to be disappointed, but in fact, I
208
00:11:14.759 --> 00:11:18.600
was quite satisfied with with what finally emerged from that
209
00:11:18.759 --> 00:11:22.679
tiny packaging. But yeah, I love to do that, and
210
00:11:22.759 --> 00:11:25.600
I think about that because you know, I used to
211
00:11:25.639 --> 00:11:32.480
play create incredible scenarios cowboys, Indian soldiers, Germans, not you know, Nazis,
212
00:11:32.720 --> 00:11:37.399
create incredible scenarios of battles and stuff, and and later
213
00:11:37.480 --> 00:11:41.080
on as because early on in my theater, I started
214
00:11:41.080 --> 00:11:44.919
in theater and I did some directing, and all of
215
00:11:44.919 --> 00:11:46.799
that stuff that I did playing.
216
00:11:47.519 --> 00:11:52.320
Uh, you know, was what I was doing in my
217
00:11:52.480 --> 00:11:55.519
career in you know, in my professional not professional, but
218
00:11:55.600 --> 00:11:57.240
in my career work at that time.
219
00:11:57.799 --> 00:12:01.240
So it all, you know, it all, it all sort
220
00:12:01.240 --> 00:12:06.200
of made sense. My fantasy life extended into into a career.
221
00:12:06.639 --> 00:12:07.840
Yeah are you staying me?
222
00:12:07.960 --> 00:12:10.759
With sea monkeys? I got magazine. They weren't little like
223
00:12:10.759 --> 00:12:14.720
sea monkeys in the box. I was like, I was
224
00:12:14.720 --> 00:12:17.200
like five, like they're not like on the box where.
225
00:12:16.960 --> 00:12:19.879
The what happened on sea monkeys?
226
00:12:19.919 --> 00:12:21.159
Huh story?
227
00:12:21.679 --> 00:12:25.600
Okay, last question is when I ask everyone, and it's
228
00:12:25.600 --> 00:12:26.519
I always always jokes.
229
00:12:26.559 --> 00:12:28.759
It's like life. There's only two things. You can't choose.
230
00:12:28.879 --> 00:12:29.879
You have to choose one of the other.
231
00:12:31.200 --> 00:12:37.559
And that's cheek of course, Randy Olsby, apples are oranges?
232
00:12:39.080 --> 00:12:43.679
What apples are oranges? Apples are orange apples?
233
00:12:44.120 --> 00:12:44.559
There you go.
234
00:12:45.840 --> 00:12:48.399
That's our five random questions folks, And yeah, what back,
235
00:12:48.679 --> 00:12:51.279
I'll get all their answers, like everybody who's answered that
236
00:12:51.360 --> 00:12:54.120
question together, and I do all the apples right, everyone's answered.

00:12:54.120 --> 00:12:57.279
I've asked oscar winners, I've asked people from the street.
238
00:12:57.480 --> 00:13:01.480
