Hello and welcome to The Great Beyond and is this good companion pod where we follow up on last week's episode, answer listener questions, and catch up with each other.

The person I'm catching up with is, of course, Jason Doyle.

Hello.

Hi, JD. Thanks for coming today.

And I hope you've brought your production muscles with you because you have potentially a challenge greater than you've

ever faced before. Oh boy. You know you've had leaf blower. Yes. You've had barking dog.

Yep. Child's play. We had a new one. We had a guy vacuuming his car outside my window

a few podcasts ago. That's true.

Now we have wild parrots.

No.

Oh, we got wild parrots.

Just hanging out outside your window.

Hang out outside the window on a line.

I can see them from here.

They're quiet now.

I did take a little voice memo on my phone earlier of them squawking.

Yeah. But apparently there are like thousands of wild parrots in Los Angeles County.

Wow.

And people don't know exactly like, well, they don't know exactly why, but some combination of like released from a zoo or someone had them as a pet

and then released them and then they all started mating.

And I've seen them in other neighborhoods and I've been like, wow, amazing.

I just hope that one day they bless us over here just over the river and Glastell Park.
