Good news! The new bubble machine works! Bad news… no one’s here to see it.As discussed on last week’s show, Paul Kramer ​⁠ @autokennel  is having major surgery to remove the bone cancer in his leg. J is at hospital with Paul’s family so we get an LNP flashback.Tonight, we’re flashing back to an early episode of Life with the Ryan’s revisiting a conversation with SoCal Porsche and Alfa Romeo legend Chuck Miller.Chuck passed away a few months ago and is missed by a great many. We were so lucky to hear some of his first-hand experiences, living the historic SoCal car culture we all celebrate today. Hopefully this video captures Chuck’s spirit and reminds everyone of his zest for life & driving.. RIP. We love you Chuck. Thank you for the memories and for always being kind.And thank YOU for being with us. Back next week LIVE @ FIVE. Get those comments ready! 🙏❤️😉#latenightplayset #talkshow #podcast
