| 0:00.0 | Make no mistake about it. Let me be clear, my entire professional career has been spent in the halls of our legislature and in administrative executive agencies in Sacramento. And I can tell you, the only reality that matters in the political world is perception. |
| 0:17.8 | Hello, I'm Rebecca Taylor. Hey, I'm Buddy Porter. This is Ben Malin. Hey, it's Sophie Pope. |
| 0:21.9 | Hey, guys. I'm Lou Garcia-Renosa, founder of Barber Society, and we're hanging out on the |
| 0:25.8 | Hair Game Podcast. Hey, listener, I'm Eric Taylor. So how about that? We file our lawsuit on Friday |
| 0:34.1 | the 22nd and Newsom opened salons three days later on Monday the 25th. |
| 0:40.8 | Of course, to save face, he has all sorts of other reasons. |
| 0:45.6 | All of a sudden, the projections, of course, the projections based on numbers that he refuses |
| 0:51.6 | to release, even though everyone, including the media finally, is asking, |

| 1:28.2 | can't do whatever they want to do. Then they would be held accountable to the data and science. |
| 1:34.6 | And as much as he promises to always go by the data in science, he is neither gone by the |
| 1:41.0 | data nor the science because if he did did we never would have been closed a second |
| 1:47.2 | much less a third time but here we are thank god we're open speaking of being open we just |
| 1:54.6 | opened a new salon in sunnyvale california for info go to salonrepublic.com it is shiny and new and amazing and it's always |
| 2:03.4 | when we first open a location that you have the most options for studios because then for the |
| 2:10.8 | life of the salon there's just a studio here and a studio there that come up and sometimes not the one |
| 2:15.8 | you want now is the time to check it out |
