24:07

okay, well that's wonderful. Um,

24:14

I've never seen opera in my life, and

24:19

I'm sure none of these people have either. What

24:23

exactly is opera? Opera

24:27

is? Um? Some speech,

24:30

some speech sung? All

24:34

the lines are sung? Right,

24:36

everything is sung every down. There's a little

24:39

speaking okay,

24:42

I'm sorry, word okay,

24:46

yes, but most the lines were sung. I once

24:48

had a case of sprech tma when

24:52

I was backpacking through Europe. No,

24:57

I just got some penicillain and it was all good. And

25:03

so you you sing

25:05

opera? And uh

25:08

where where

25:13

she's a opera? Los Angeles

25:15

has an opera company. Oh so you're with

25:17

the l A Opera, l A Opera. Yes, I'm

25:20

one of the original chorus. There's oh my

25:22

goodness, for for how long? When did you?

25:24

When did you start? A long time ago?

25:27

But I'm up to a hundred and sixty productions.

25:30

Oh my gosh. We

25:33

think I'm the first black woman of any opera company

25:35

to reach a hundred and sixty productions. And

25:42

do you use a lot of flamenco guitar

25:44

and your opera productions? Every now

25:46

and then we do a lla opera, good

25:49

to know opera in Spain, Spanish,

25:51

Gypsy Spanish, um oh, Gypsy

25:54

Spanish. Of course, I

25:56

usually stay away from Gypsy Spanish. Regular

26:01

Spanish. Okay, Gypsy Spanish

26:05

yikes. So

26:11

opera, yes, trying

26:15

to wrap my head around this ethereal

26:20

art form. I feel like a lot

26:22

of people know about it and go to it. Okay,

26:25

How is it different from say, The Days of Our

26:27

Life, which

26:30

is a popular soap opera. They probably wouldn't

26:32

sing it, and they probably wouldn't be dressed in all

26:34

the fancy costumes we get to wear. But

26:36

they do wear costumes in a soap opera. I

26:39

think ours are more beautiful. How

26:42

did the term soap up? I mean they don't ever sing

26:44

on a soap proper. I don't know. They don't think

26:46

about soap either. They don't know. Maybe

26:49

they did, maybe at one point. Maybe

26:51

they're forced to bathe incessantly. One

26:54

would only hope. Here's

26:56

a question. I'm I assume you can't

26:59

make money in the business, So what what

27:02

do you do for a living? Doing

27:06

my grown up job? Well, I also teach

27:09

music, and a lot of us

27:11

what we call gigging around

27:13

town. Opera singers gig around town.

27:15

We've teached. Sometimes we have church choirs,

27:17

singing jobs or conducting jobs. Or there's

27:20

also the Los Angeles Master Corral, So

27:23

we have lots of gigs there. Some

27:25

of us sing on film and TV soundtracks.

27:29

There's so there's some wonderful opportunities

27:31

out there. There can be. Oh

27:34

so there's not that many. I

27:40

showed up once for a Master Corral

27:43

and I'm

27:48

not going to tell you what happened. It

27:51

was not what I thought. Um,

27:57

it really wasn't. Sorry,

28:01

No, please don't be sorry about anything. So

28:04

would you, I mean, could you please

28:06

sing a little opera for est right now? A

28:13

little bit? Okay? Mos

28:17

horrible? Can you

28:20

top reef wazy is?

28:23

If you don't, then call up Helena

28:26

Sui. Commander refuses

28:30

28:34

28:38

she prefer you not Auntie

tim Pretty good?

29:41

Was that? Okay? That was pretty

29:43

incredible? Why

29:47

didn't have the car that? You can't know how anyone

29:49

makes money doing that? Come on, whats

29:52

amazing things I've heard in this theater. It

29:54

is pretty amazing. It is

29:56

pretty amazing. I

30:00

I I understand there's a lot of I

30:02

mean, you were singing in Italian, French,

30:04

French, as long

30:06

as not Gypsy Spanish. That's well.

30:09

Carmen takes place in Spain, but they think it

30:11

in French. I don't know why. So Carolina

30:14

is always talking about foreign language movies,

30:17

which I asked him, drive my

30:19

car? Makes

30:21

her sound pretty snooty. Do

30:25

you think opera is for snooty people? Know?

30:28

It's for the general public. It's very

30:30

accessible and what it obviously

30:33

was back in its day when

30:35

it was created was for the general public absolutely,

30:39

kind of like the eighties banned general public absolutely,

30:42

of course, did they ever have

30:45

opera? Okay, this

30:47

is a tough one, but I gotta ask it. I'm

30:50

not I'm not a good journalist if I don't.

30:53

Do you think opera lovers are dangerous

30:56

people? Wait?

31:00

Ll, I

31:02

haven't experienced it yet, OK, Because

31:06

I just wonder could

31:08

be scary, but probably not dangerous. The

31:11

Marx Brothers made a Night at the Opera?

31:16

Was that the last opera ever made? Fortunately?

31:21

No, they're

31:23

more. Oh several yes, name

31:26

them oh

31:30

Phantom, Phantom. Yes, technically

31:34

I would say it's borderline musical theater

31:36

opera because it's almost all

31:38

sung, but mostly on the Broadway

31:41

stage. I Portian

31:44

best best Okay, uh

31:49

Candy, Oh yeah, Ken, I was gonna say candid Um,

31:55

Jesus Christ superstar. No

32:00

said rock opera? Okay? What

32:03

was that? Later? Mouse later,

32:05

Mouse the bat Thank

32:07

you because syntight.

32:25

I think I'd like to try a little opera. Would

32:28

you tell me what you think? I'll

32:30

be honest. I'll be honest. Over

32:45

callo. No,

32:52

I'm in trouble finding my note. I

32:58

can't see you. I'm a far

33:02

I'm sat of

33:05

our castle. Look

33:07

at that. I'm a captain,

33:10

a man rush back.

33:12

I love you, Hey, I love

33:15

you. M

33:22

Now I

33:26

can take criticism. Carolina knows

33:28

this. I've got a thick skin. Please

33:32

be brutally on. You've

33:35

got potential me

33:38

and work on the technique a little bit. Maybe

33:41

maybe you're breathing, but that's

33:44

it, and let's work on the rapid twie.

33:46

Well, oh

33:49

hey, I thought that she was

33:51

being so nice. It's

33:53

the first time I've ever tried it, I

33:57

said, before time got out. I made

33:59

up a whole created a picture.

34:03

No, he's standing on top of my castle

34:08

trying to talk to the lady. Operas

34:14

take decades to write. I wrote one

34:17

right here on the spot. Do

34:23

opera decades? You're right? I

34:28

mean, are there any opera singers in the house tonight?

34:31

Find any chance anyone?

34:35

No? No, I didn't think so. I

34:37

didn't know. If you want to try an opera battle with Ala

34:40

here, she'll

34:43

shut you down. All

34:47

right, Well, look how about we sing

34:50

one together? Okay, what would you like to I'd

34:52

like to sing the opera? Take me out to the ball game.

34:58

Take me out to the

35:01

ball game, Take

35:04

me out to the crowd. Peanuts

35:09

and crock put tuck. I

35:13

don't care. I never

35:15

get back for his root

35:17

root root, for the whole team

35:21

if they don't win it for

35:24

the shame for it's

35:26

one two restruction

35:29

out out the old I

35:47

was gonna throw this Scotch glass on the

35:49

ground to make it look like I broke

35:51

it with my voice, but

35:55

everyone would have seen it was fun. That

35:57

was beautiful. I mean, the Dodgers

35:59

go win again with that so too, if

36:03

they can get by the San Diego padres.

36:09

Of course, Santiago discovered

36:12

by the Germans. They

36:16

named it Sandiago, which

36:19

means oh,

36:22

whales, vagina, thank you, Okay,

36:32

you've you've I'm sorry if

36:35

I've come off mean and dismissive. I wondered,

36:38

let's let's have a little bit of fun with you.

36:40

Would you mind just singing some

36:43

some statements for us? It just might be fun to

36:45

hear some things,

36:47

some things sung in your

36:49

operatic voice? For instance, can you just sing? Where

36:52

are my keys? Where are my

36:54

key? Can

36:58

you sing? I farted uttered,

37:05

I lost my ham sandwich, I

37:08

lost my sandwich.

37:12

I'm breaking up with you. I'm

37:15

breaking up with you. May

37:20

the Force be with you, May of course

37:23

be with you. Steph

37:26

Curry for three, staff

37:30

Purtty for three. Stay

37:33

away from my donkey, Stay

37:37

away from my doggie. Anyone

37:41

else have a line they'd like a leader to sing?

37:44

Where's my Sky's my scotch?

37:49

Can I have some casino clams? Please? It's

37:53

may I. May I have some casino

37:56

clams? Please? It's may I. I

38:01

always tell you that, and

38:04

you're like, can I can? I'm

38:06

like, it's may. I know I

38:08

know. Mm

38:10

hmm, I I

38:13

wonder if you'd help me with one more thing. Of

38:15

course, for those of you who are familiar

38:18

with the podcast, I I

38:20

used to date singer songwriter Siam.

38:29

Why is that so funny? It's not funny

38:32

to me. I believe

38:34

you, thank you, and

38:37

she uh, she rudely broke up

38:39

with me, And I'm wondering if she happens

38:41

to be listening to this, maybe I could reach out to her

38:44

soul and we could we could reunite.

38:46

And if you'd indulge me, could would you mind

38:48

just singing an operatic

38:50

melody while I read this love letter?

38:54

Yes, while I read this love letter to see him? M

38:58

hm, Oh,

39:03

my heart yearns for you. I'm

39:07

lost in this world without you. M

39:10

I cannot sleep. M

39:13

I walked the dark streets at night, calling

39:15

your name. I

39:18

started down in Compton and

39:21

I walked up through Culver City, then

39:24

through West Hollywood, screaming

39:27

your name louder

39:35

than any coyote could yell over

39:39

the mountains down into

39:41

Lucca Lake. But

39:47

you answered. Not only

39:50

the police answered, why

39:54

won't you return my calls? I've

39:57

left over a thousand, sometimes changing

39:59

my voy so you'll think I'm Ariana

40:01

Grande or Katie

40:04

Perry. Still

40:06

no answer. Why

40:09

do you torment me or

40:12

love us for the ages sexual

40:14

and emotional? Like

40:16

Zeus and Helen of Troy m

40:19

like Donald Trump, and like

40:26

Benefort, which

40:28

apparently is back on again. Who

40:31

knew, right? But I digress Cia,

Thank you so much for coming on, Thank

41:30

41:40

would have to listen to the podcast to hear that, but

41:43

she doesn't. Probably gonna happen. I

41:46

don't know, she seems if you guys

41:48

would all get on your social and beg

41:50

Sia to listen to the podcast and

41:53

42:19

a baby. All

42:23

right, karamba,

42:26

Right, Well,

42:29

We're almost at the end of our evening

42:31

and I'd like to end

42:34

it with a little piece I call my

42:36

take. There's

42:40

no question l A is a big status

42:43

town, and one of the true measures

42:45

of status is where you live. Every

42:48

day I go to my local coffeehouse, the

42:50

Feminine Pickle, and

42:58

all day long, I just here

43:00

from dirty hipsters stuff

43:03

like, oh my god, I just moved to

43:05

Atwater Village. You have to come visit.

43:09

Oh are you still in Los Felis

43:12

43:15

Like why at

43:19

least moved to Highland Park. Oh?

43:21

Really, you like the arts district better?

43:24

Really, that's funny.

43:27

I'm really loving Palms. That

43:31

new metro line is great. You

43:33

can take it down to the beach or

43:35

all the way down to the coliseum, only

43:38

in a straight line. I

43:44

love it North Hollywood

43:47

Okay, okay, I

43:50

lived in Venice for a while. Uh

43:52

huh, right, Abbot Kenny,

43:54

I know, I love Abbot Kenny. What

43:58

about West Adams It's getting great

44:00

down there. I know someone who

44:02

lives just off of Pan Pacific Park, so

44:05

fun. They can walk to the grove. It's the best.

44:07

The grove is the best.

44:13

I forgot. Korea Town not cheap

44:15

anymore. Hey, hey,

44:18

skinny jeans, you know where I left?

44:21

I left behind the Bomb's Big Boy in

44:23

Burbank. Yeah

44:29

me, Rod Burgundy,

44:33

and trust me, it's not in a cute nighteteen

44:35

forties Bungalow. I

44:38

lived directly behind the

44:40

Bomb's Big Boy looking

44:43

for scraps because

44:46

Ronnie maxed out on eleven of his

44:48

credit cards during the lockdown.

44:53

And sure, I've gotten to know the gang of

44:55

high school kids who worked there, Peter

44:58

Ashley, Brad Monica,

45:02

Stephanie Courtney and hand

45:05

out there twins. Who

45:07

else am I forgetting? Lachlan?

45:10

Wait? Did I mentioned Teeter? They

45:14

take your outfit from jet Rag

45:20

and get out of my face? What

45:23

what was that? What was that? What

45:28

you weren't in my face? Well,

45:30

technically you're right, but

45:32

you were talking so loud I had to eavesdrop,

45:34

which felt like you were in my face.

45:44

And then I go back to my coffee and my

45:48

paper and I think to myself, you

45:50

can't just let well enough alone. Ken

45:53

45:56
