Today we are cancelling the apocalypse.

I gotta get up at 5 o'clock in the morning and sparkle,

Neely sparkle.

I know what some of your big city no bra wear and hairy-legged women livers might say.

Hello everyone and welcome to maximum film.

It's episode 253 and you're here with me.

Seventh anniversary.

Why does I say seven seven this third annual whatever?

It shows if you wide away and in the booth with me on my friends.

So let me introduce them.

First up is America's favorite critic,

the Christmas daddy himself.

Alonzo Duraldi, what's good?

Oh, math is hard. If you can't call me America's favorite critic when another critic is on the show.

Like, it's bad enough anyway when you say it, but now it's even worse.

Anyway, my what's good is very much a think locally as opposed to globally, but I'm very excited to announce that Irvesburgers has returned to West Hollywood, which is one of the few like really cool neighborhood joints we have in terms of it's the the woman who is running for years a woman named Sonia is like one of those people who makes a neighborhood a neighborhood.

She remembers your name, she remembers your order, she's thrilled to see you, she'll chat with you.

And you know, this was like a neighborhood institution and then of course the awful landlords around here like made it impossible for her to keep doing business.

So she closed up but now somebody else has come in and reopened Irves and they brought Sonia back in and

she's got more flexible hours now which is great.

But I went to the launch of the restaurant about a month ago and I met people in their 20s who had literally grown up going to this place because I realized I started going there right after I moved to Los Angeles, you know, around the turn of the millennium and so yeah yeah so if you started going there when you were eight now you're you know like pushing 30

So yeah in a neighborhood where there are way too many empty business spaces and for lease signs making Santa Monica
