Loved the stories and the Oscars Suzi! It’s interesting was all went into it and the actual work there. All we see on TV is a calm quiet venue. Thanks to professionals like you. Look forward to hearing about the DNC convention.
Great talk, while I served I worked off duty for a company that did concerts. Now, that is where we had every type nut case to deal with and not all of them were in the crowd. .
People's Choice Awards my wife got tickets for free from a TV network manager. Our "creds" allowed us to be along the red carpet and Row 3 inside. Same for the Ellen Show when it was still popular. My wife had lots of connected contacts thru her job in a huge international bank.
My guess is that the “seat fillers” are intended to maintain the image that it is a sold out extravaganza for the sake of the cameras. While those individuals are on stage the camera shots of the audience shows that every seat is filled.
I had the misfortune to work security when they were filming the court scenes of "kidco" in Tucson. Most everyone involved in the film I contacted was pleasant, especially some extras. One however was extremely disagreeable, one of the adult actors had an ego that was larger than the city. He was known for bit parts. Fortunately I only had to be around him for a couple minutes. He wasn't happy about not being fawned over.
Will we be getting a gun cranks podcast on Brent’s new purchase, or at least a follow up article? We readers need more details beyond “canary yellow motorcycle” Thrilled to see him join the ranks but it’s hard to tease someone about the bike they ride if we don’t know what it is.
Maybe it was just me, but I wish Suzi had said more about the lady that came unhinged because Suzi was wearing a wrap. Was she saying she couldn't wear that because it was too nice, not nice enough, or nobody could wear wraps (which would be hard to believe!). I can't imagine it was a rag, but it would be hard to imagine that she had on something so nice it would put everybody else to shame. So I would like to have known a little more about that.
Suzi here… It was my impression she felt I was trying to look like I was just there to party with the rest of the attendees. She’d pretty much been a pill throughout the event planning/advising with us. And she was maybe 5 foot nothing, so I towered over her. Certainly a Napolean complex. I was cold, nothing more.
There are LOTS of really competent women in the business. Sure there are some idiots, but I doubt the percentage of incompetent women is any more than that of the men. So…by sheer volume (still a male dominated field), there are more idiot male officers. Cough. -SH

I'm working with Suzi to schedule the DNC episode. I can't wait either! -BW

Boy howdy! Roy
Hey, it's time for a podcast! Evening Brent! This was a great episode - but anyone with Suzi is guaranteed five stars.
Roy is my unofficial co-host but I'm gonna rename her "Five-Star Suzi!" -BW
Ha! A new TV series… Suzi, 5.0. With mindless words to the Hawaii 5-0 theme song. SH

"I'm going to call the Mayor."
"Oh, would you like the phone number?"
Yeah, that was my response! That was the day I decided to take vacation during that week every year!
Wise man!

The look on Suzi's face in the photo says it all about her feelings on "celebrity" to me.
We've been laughing about that all week, but I can't share most of our internal comments...but you can use your imagination!!
Wish I could have been there😅.
Miss Suzi is BACK!
Don’t encourage her! Roy
No need.
She already knows she’s a Bad Ass!

One good reason for no pictures is in 2000 it would have taken a dedicated camera to take a picture.

I want it on record that I’m guessing a Honda shadow or a suzuki of the DR variety.

Suzi has more intestinal fortitude than me. I couldn't be at the Oscars and not BARF!
There was a little better grade of celebrity back then however.
Suzi often says she 'verps' at stuff like that. Apparently it's a California term for "I just threw up in my mouth!" -BW
😅😅😅 Perfect word!
Vurp (verb): to burp and vomit simultaneously. -SH
😅😂😊 Very fitting for the situation.
If every female cop was as capable as Suzi Huntington, I would have a lot less concern.
I agree, you see so many that can't pull their weight it's GREAT to know some CAN!

@@fmgpubs The standards for female law enforcement, fire fighters, and soldiers have been watered down over the years. DEI is another part of it.
Suzy is cool... and a hoot! Bet she keeps Roy on his toes! 😂
That's an understatement John ... Roy
Funny how they all looked smaller than on screen😅
Other than that I have no use for these Hollywood tool clown show!
Suzi doesn't either! Roy
