Vacation Time Part 2: Movie Tunnel / LA Radio

Great Scott! The Tunnel from Back to the Future 2! (Our Trip to Griffith Observatory)

You remember that bridge that Danny Glover and Mel Gibson drive under for a breif second in that scene from Lethal Weapon? No, you probably don't. And why? Cause you're a terrible Lethal Weapon fan. Those little details may pass over a fair-weather fan such as yourself but when it comes to people like Carter and I, we know every little thing about the movies we love. Including the specific tunnel that was in the climax of Back to the Future 2 (right, badass).


It only took five seconds for Carter to realize exactly where we were when drove under it. I'm not sure how he distinguished it from any other tunnel in the world, but once he pointed it out I knew it had to be true. And thanks to modern Internet, we were able to conclude this as accurate. While all you typical LA vacationers were hitting up your techno clubs and dive bars, me and Carter stood in the same place where Marty McFly retrieved the Almanac back from Biff, thus resetting the course of time and preventing the Doc from being institutionalized*. And yes, it was heavy.

*No, you're the fucking nerd.

LA Radio

You know that little cousin of yours that just started listening to popular music? And at first you think its really cute he's listening to top 40 stuff but then you start to get annoyed that all he/she is playing is the same eight songs over and over again? And then all you want to do is inject poison into his Capri Sun? Well guess what. That little cousin of yours has been elected program director for every single radio station in Los Angeles. Your poison wasn't potent enough.

First of all, only half of the stations are in English, and only half of those are non-Christian gospel. So we're already working with about four regular radio stations here. And out of those four, none of them have a playlist that lasts longer than fifteen minutes before it starts replaying the same Lil John song you just heard a few moments ago. During Jon and Emily's stay I've heard Baby Bash's "Cyclone" almost 500 times and no, it doesn't get better every time you hear it*
