He's the last remnants 0:00:09.280 --> 0:00:12.560 of the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He 0:00:12.640 --> 0:00:15.560 treats crackheads in the ghetto Cutter the same as the 0:00:15.680 --> 0:00:19.680 rich pill poppers in the penthouse the clearing House of 0:00:19.720 --> 0:00:23.520 Hot takes break free for something special.

I'm 0:00:56.680 --> 0:00:58.680 not a numbers guy, but that doesn't seem to add 0:00:58.760 --> 0:01:02.320 up well. Before and after that show, that's eight hours 0:01:02.400 --> 0:01:05.959 for me, and then six hours on Saturday and then 0:01:06.000 --> 0:01:09.200 post production on Sunday morning. But we never have enough work. 0:01:09.200 --> 0:01:13.039 Though now these are first world problems. It certainly beats 0:01:13.080 --> 0:01:18.800 having a real job, so we appreciate that Saturday.

Now, 0:02:42.919 --> 0:02:47.519 I missed a Thursday show because I was on assignment 0:02:48.360 --> 0:02:52.080 at the North Pole. Danny m a very special time. 0:02:52.960 --> 0:02:56.520 It is the one day of the year that I 0:02:56.600 --> 0:02:59.400 get out of my shell and I get to do 0:02:59.560 --> 0:03:02.240 what is one of the coolest things you can possibly do. 0:03:02.280 --> 0:03:06.840 A highly recommend this if you have connections playing a 0:03:06.960 --> 0:03:14.680 mascot the man, enjoy me. Wonderful. Wonderful. Now for those 0:03:14.760 --> 0:03:17.880 that are new, my wife where she works, the city 0:03:17.960 --> 0:03:24.440 she works in, she's a dispatcher, and the city every 0:03:24.560 --> 0:03:27.040 year they do this thing when they go around. They 0:03:27.080 --> 0:03:31.160 put Santa Claus on back of a fire truck and 0:03:31.200 --> 0:03:36.280 they have a parade, and they drive around every single 0:03:36.440 --> 0:03:39.880 street in the city, all of them. It's not a 0:03:39.920 --> 0:03:43.480 small city, big city. They drive around and and people 0:03:43.520 --> 0:03:46.680 come out of their houses to see Santa Claus. And 0:03:46.800 --> 0:03:49.720 I've been very fortunate and honored to have this opportunity 0:03:49.800 --> 0:03:54.600 for several years. And this past week, I guess it's 0:03:54.880 --> 0:03:57.200 ten days ago now, whatever it was, I had the 0:03:57.280 --> 0:04:00.760 chance to to play Santa Claus and it was it 0:04:00.840 --> 0:04:04.160 was quite the day. Got up a little groggy, got 0:04:04.160 --> 0:04:06.840 a little groggy. Danny traveled and rush hour traffic, something 0:04:06.880 --> 0:04:09.280 I don't normally spend time in because I usually only 0:04:09.400 --> 0:04:12.920 drive when it's off hours. So spent hour in traffic. 0:04:13.800 --> 0:04:17.200 Then I ended up going to a public bathroom, and 0:04:17.520 --> 0:04:19.760 I SENTI public bathroom. I had to get dressed, so 0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:23.200 I had to go out of my I was like Superman, 0:04:23.400 --> 0:04:25.000 except I'm Santa Man. I had I had to go 0:04:25.000 --> 0:04:26.400 for my citys and I had to put on the 0:04:26.400 --> 0:04:28.240 whole Santa costume and all that stuff. So I got 0:04:28.440 --> 0:04:31.360 dressed in a public bathroom and I Santa suit, head 0:04:31.440 --> 0:04:34.479 to toe, the whole outfit. So I said, did that, 0:04:34.520 --> 0:04:37.040 and then I come out as Santa Claus. I walk out. 0:04:37.080 --> 0:04:40.680 I've come out of the closet as Santa Claus or 0:04:40.680 --> 0:04:43.720 the bathroom, excuse me. And then I at that point 0:04:43.760 --> 0:04:48.279 there's a photo op with Santa Danny, so I'm now Santa. 0:04:48.560 --> 0:04:50.600 So then I have to and I don't really don't 0:04:50.640 --> 0:04:52.320 have to smile because nobody can see my face because 0:04:52.360 --> 0:04:56.520 they got a beard. So I perfect exactly. So I 0:04:56.720 --> 0:05:00.200 take photos these really cute kids, Oh my god, this 0:05:00.640 --> 0:05:03.400 one of the one little girl. She brought me a 0:05:03.480 --> 0:05:07.200 cookie that she had gotten from a bakery for Santa. 0:05:07.680 --> 0:05:09.720 And since I was playing Santa. I got to eat 0:05:09.760 --> 0:05:12.599 the cookie later. It was great. You should have chucked 0:05:12.600 --> 0:05:16.719 it like a rock, you know, Danny exactly the look 0:05:16.760 --> 0:05:19.080 on her baby. Yeah, as as you know, being a 0:05:19.080 --> 0:05:21.679 talk shows, I'm an asshole, But I mean my heart 0:05:21.800 --> 0:05:24.200 was just swelling, man, I was. I was just a 0:05:24.200 --> 0:05:27.440 ball of emotion, a glass case of emotion. Here. It was. 0:05:27.600 --> 0:05:29.960 It was seeing these little kids and how excited they were, Like, 0:05:29.960 --> 0:05:33.400 Oh my god, what if only these kids know what's 0:05:33.440 --> 0:05:36.480 in store from the rest of their lives. But enjoy 0:05:36.560 --> 0:05:39.599 it while you can. Kids, you munchkins, all right, because 0:05:39.640 --> 0:05:42.240 it's gonna get a lot harder to get older. But 0:05:42.240 --> 0:05:44.719 but anyway, it was. It was cool and you know, 0:05:44.720 --> 0:05:47.800 a lot of the kids were smiling somewhere nervous. I 0:05:47.839 --> 0:05:51.280 mentioned the little girl brought the cookie, and and so 0:05:51.600 --> 0:05:54.440 it was cool. And it was surrounded by the you know, 0:05:54.480 --> 0:05:57.479 hard working the police officers, the firefighter, very cool people. 0:05:57.520 --> 0:06:01.240 I've I've become friends with, casual friends with them over 0:06:01.279 --> 0:06:03.360 the years, some of the people that worked there with 0:06:03.400 --> 0:06:05.320 my wife, and so that was great schmoozing with them. 0:06:05.320 --> 0:06:09.839 And then right around five o'clock I climbed up to 0:06:09.920 --> 0:06:13.280 the very top of the fire truck, crawled on the 0:06:13.360 --> 0:06:16.080 roof of the fire truck. I'm very happy I made 0:06:16.080 --> 0:06:18.680 it up. I was concerned anyone. Remember my knee went out, 0:06:19.839 --> 0:06:21.960 and my knee was out for like a month. I 0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:23.760 would not have been able to do this if my 0:06:23.839 --> 0:06:26.679 knee was still jacked up and I was still mangle. 0:06:26.760 --> 0:06:28.359 So I was able to climb up the fire truck, 0:06:28.400 --> 0:06:33.599 crawl across the truck, sit in the chair, and gave 0:06:33.640 --> 0:06:36.800 the thumbs up. More on that in a minute. And 0:06:36.839 --> 0:06:38.800 what did you do for padding, because you're you're a 0:06:38.800 --> 0:06:41.720 little bit too skinny to be Santa. Well, I had 0:06:41.760 --> 0:06:45.000 like four layers of clothes on. So yeah, I was. 0:06:45.080 --> 0:06:50.520 I was prepared for the inclement weather. No, no, it 0:06:50.600 --> 0:06:54.960 was California, cold California. Uh so, So we set off 0:06:55.000 --> 0:07:01.080 on the parade, the Santa Parade Police Escort Dame Batch 0:07:02.320 --> 0:07:05.280 Ah so good. So the way this parade works, You've 0:07:05.320 --> 0:07:09.840 got two lead vehicles with Christmas lights. You've got Santa 0:07:10.000 --> 0:07:14.960 Slay because why not the Santa Parade. So in total, 0:07:15.000 --> 0:07:19.040 there's six cars in the parade. I'm on the fire truck. 0:07:19.160 --> 0:07:23.120 You've got two lead vehicles, the sleigh, the fire truck. 0:07:23.560 --> 0:07:27.760 Then there's two police escorts that are clearing the intersections 0:07:27.800 --> 0:07:30.560 that are going and clearing the intersections that we're going through. 0:07:30.960 --> 0:07:33.559 So Santa you know, I'm much too important to Santa 0:07:33.560 --> 0:07:35.600 Claus Danny to have to sit at a red light 0:07:36.320 --> 0:07:41.840 taxpayers dollars exactly. Well, this is this is a better 0:07:42.000 --> 0:07:45.800 use than than building a stadium. So but anyway, so 0:07:46.280 --> 0:07:48.840 I'm doing it. It's really cool. As the night went on, 0:07:49.600 --> 0:07:51.840 I'm doing this about four and a half hours on 0:07:51.880 --> 0:07:55.800 the back of a fire truck, and it got colder 0:07:55.840 --> 0:07:59.800 and colder. And this city is kind of in the foothill, 0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:04.240 was in the mountains, and so depending on what part 0:08:04.240 --> 0:08:06.960 of the city we were going through, it got down 0:08:07.000 --> 0:08:10.600 into the high thirties. And for most people, you know, 0:08:10.640 --> 0:08:15.200 if you're listening in Minnesota or or New Hampshire, Connecticut, 0:08:15.280 --> 0:08:16.520 or somewhere like that, you're like, what what do you 0:08:16.800 --> 0:08:20.920 you A wors But in California, when you're used to 0:08:20.960 --> 0:08:23.680 temperatures in the seventies and it gets down to the thirties, 0:08:23.720 --> 0:08:28.400 you're like oh. And then when you're outside, you know, anyway, um, 0:08:28.440 --> 0:08:30.400 but some of the highlights real quick because I'm going 0:08:30.440 --> 0:08:33.800 along here, I keep going It's all about the kids. 0:08:33.800 --> 0:08:35.720 It's all about that. I'm playing the kid card from 0:08:35.760 --> 0:08:39.120 the bottom of the deck here, Danny. But these kids 0:08:39.920 --> 0:08:44.080 who were so hell bent on getting my attention as Santa, 0:08:45.360 --> 0:08:47.760 and one of the kids stood out. Now, there were 0:08:47.800 --> 0:08:50.280 so many cute kids, but one of them stood out. 0:08:50.320 --> 0:08:53.000 And I will probably remember this kid until I check 0:08:53.040 --> 0:08:56.520 out of this mortal coil. Kid was around seven or eight, 0:08:57.400 --> 0:09:01.840 little typical, cute, little munchkin kids. Comes running out of 0:09:01.880 --> 0:09:05.200 this apartment. You can see his mom in the background. 0:09:05.280 --> 0:09:06.720 This is what I see, right, he is his mom 0:09:06.720 --> 0:09:09.440 in the background. Kid comes running out of Hi tailing 0:09:09.480 --> 0:09:12.040 it like he's running a race. He then gets to 0:09:12.120 --> 0:09:17.720 the sidewalk and starts I Santa and starts running down 0:09:17.960 --> 0:09:21.000 I want for Christmas. I've been good. I want and 0:09:21.040 --> 0:09:25.520 he starts naming all these video games. He was hilarious 0:09:25.240 --> 0:09:29.439 that he had memorized his entire Santa wish list and 0:09:30.240 --> 0:09:35.080 he was like speed reading this little kid. Oh my god, 0:09:35.080 --> 0:09:37.600 it was so funny, and I was like, oh, like 0:09:37.760 --> 0:09:40.400 I was laughing, and unfortunately I had the beard on 0:09:40.559 --> 0:09:43.200 so nobody could see it. And it was hilarious. I 0:09:43.320 --> 0:09:45.440 was like, this is out of like a like a 0:09:45.480 --> 0:09:47.880 movie or something. It can't be real. And I was like, 0:09:47.920 --> 0:09:51.880 it really happened, and and who's he expected me, being 0:09:51.920 --> 0:09:54.440 Santa to pass that onto the elves and then they'd 0:09:54.440 --> 0:09:57.040 make all the toys. And then it was so innocent 0:09:57.200 --> 0:09:59.840 and sweet and wholesome, and I was like, oh my god, 0:09:59.880 --> 0:10:02.840 I I should not enjoy this that much. But but 0:10:02.960 --> 0:10:05.200 that was great, But that was not the moment that 0:10:05.320 --> 0:10:10.920 I I got authenticated Danny as Santa Claus so real quick. 0:10:11.040 --> 0:10:14.559 We drove by, if I remember correctly, it was a 0:10:14.679 --> 0:10:21.560 Roman Catholic church facility. And as we are driving by 0:10:21.679 --> 0:10:25.679 the church, you know, as a Jewish man, I respect 0:10:25.679 --> 0:10:28.960 all face. But we're driving by the Roman Catholic church 0:10:29.800 --> 0:10:37.800 and this conga line of nuns come walking out of 0:10:37.880 --> 0:10:41.480 the church in full the full decked out in the 0:10:41.520 --> 0:10:46.240 traditional nun costume, you know, the black veilor yeah, looking 0:10:46.280 --> 0:10:48.520 like a whole bunch of WHOOPI goldbergs. Yeah, the white 0:10:48.520 --> 0:10:50.440 I think guess it's a white head dress with the 0:10:50.480 --> 0:10:51.880 black veil. I don't know, I don't know how you 0:10:51.920 --> 0:10:55.280 describe that, but maybe eight to ten of them and 0:10:55.320 --> 0:10:58.960 they're waving and saying hi and smiling as we go 0:10:59.080 --> 0:11:04.360 by unfortunately not Uh, but that was really cool. That 0:11:04.480 --> 0:11:06.680 was that was like, this is this is also out 0:11:06.679 --> 0:11:09.600 of like a movie and you know, comedy movie from 0:11:09.640 --> 0:11:12.920 the eighties of the nineties, yere and and people have said, 0:11:12.960 --> 0:11:15.000 what are you doing? You're an introvert. I am an introvert. 0:11:15.240 --> 0:11:17.840 But this is the perfect thing, Danny for an introvert 0:11:18.200 --> 0:11:21.200 because I'm away from everyone. I'm on a fire truck. 0:11:21.840 --> 0:11:25.160 I am above everyone else, like I've got a higher power. 0:11:25.480 --> 0:11:28.960 But I'm covered in a beard. You can't see my face, 0:11:29.520 --> 0:11:31.600 you know. I'm just doing my thing. La la la 0:11:31.760 --> 0:11:35.240 la la la la la la, you know. And uh, 0:11:35.400 --> 0:11:36.880 it was good. But that was the moment I got 0:11:36.880 --> 0:11:40.240 authenticated as a legitimate Santa Claus. When the nuns are 0:11:40.400 --> 0:11:45.000 dancing and waving and doing their nune things. Uh, yeah, 0:11:45.240 --> 0:11:47.800 that was it. That was I got. I got authenticated. 0:11:47.800 --> 0:11:51.600 And I did not see any COVID test though, Danny, 0:11:51.640 --> 0:11:53.959 I did not throughout the process. I did not see 0:11:53.960 --> 0:11:56.760 anyway throw a COVID test in my direction. And not 0:11:56.800 --> 0:11:59.959 to be a Christmas downer here, Ben, but that little 0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:03.319 kid from the apartment, unless his mom can truly deliver, 0:12:03.960 --> 0:12:06.160 he's gonna run out of that same apartment next year 0:12:06.160 --> 0:12:09.520 and flip you the bird. Yeah that is true, right, 0:12:10.480 --> 0:12:14.000 you're not real Sad yelled off everything last year. He 0:12:14.080 --> 0:12:22.840 unless you're you're an asshole. You Yeah. So this COVID 0:12:22.920 --> 0:12:27.600 test story, um, I've only talked about it once and 0:12:27.720 --> 0:12:31.040 it was on Coveno and Rich on Friday afternoon. So 0:12:31.120 --> 0:12:34.839 this definitely is an exclusive right here. All right? All right? 0:12:34.960 --> 0:12:39.480 So uh how can I start? How can I say it? 0:12:39.559 --> 0:12:42.480 Let's see, so it was weeks ago now, but we 0:12:42.480 --> 0:12:46.280 were in Maui. Yeah, what do you think that we 0:12:46.360 --> 0:12:53.280 could have possibly brought back from the islands. Uh, well 0:12:53.320 --> 0:12:56.440 they have flown back. They check your bags for fruit, 0:12:57.040 --> 0:12:59.360 ye like that right, because you're not supposed to bring 0:12:59.600 --> 0:13:02.400 fruit there or back. I believe they have certain rules 0:13:02.440 --> 0:13:06.640 like that. Um what what did you what do you 0:13:06.640 --> 0:13:09.120 bring back? Well, it's funny. So I did a family 0:13:09.160 --> 0:13:16.280 group chat and I showed what they called the COVID test. Okay, 0:13:16.320 --> 0:13:19.880 and you know it's the test strip, right, there's lots 0:13:19.880 --> 0:13:22.959 of different looking COVID tests. We got a whole bunch 0:13:22.960 --> 0:13:27.440 of free ones at the Super Bowl last year. I remember, remember, absolutely, Yeah, 0:13:27.480 --> 0:13:31.320 I used one of those two. Um, so my mom, 0:13:31.520 --> 0:13:34.959 she's like, oh no, I'm so sorry. You guys brought 0:13:35.000 --> 0:13:39.360 COVID back my dad same thing. Holy sh it, I'm 0:13:39.400 --> 0:13:43.120 so sorry, buddy, you got COVID. My older brother Ben 0:13:43.240 --> 0:13:46.440 was the only one with keen eyesight. It was not 0:13:46.600 --> 0:13:55.640 a COVID strip. What was a pregnancy test? What my 0:13:55.840 --> 0:14:03.920 chick got pregnant in Hawaii? WHOA, oh wow, yeah, are 0:14:03.920 --> 0:14:07.240 you sure?

Wow, that's why let's go, man, 0:14:18.920 --> 0:14:22.240 Let's get her hammered on some bourbon. WHOA, you can't 0:14:22.320 --> 0:14:25.840 drink anymore? So that's gonna that's gonna affect our trip 0:14:25.880 --> 0:14:28.440 to Vegas on Sunday because she's like, oh man, I 0:14:28.520 --> 0:14:31.920 can't drink, Like, well you can, but yeah you don't 0:14:31.960 --> 0:14:37.760 want to but yeah yeah. So she's got that mother 0:14:37.920 --> 0:14:42.000 Nature tracker app like the cycle app on her phone 0:14:43.440 --> 0:14:45.640 like a lot of girls do. So she backtracked it. 0:14:46.080 --> 0:14:49.920 Sure enough. This happened while we were there on the island. 0:14:50.680 --> 0:14:54.960 Are you gonna name the baby Kawaii or Maui or 0:14:56.200 --> 0:15:00.560 it's truly a honeymoon baby. The only I can't even 0:15:00.560 --> 0:15:02.320 think of a name right now because the only words 0:15:02.360 --> 0:15:05.960 going through my mind are holy shit. Wow. Now it's 0:15:06.000 --> 0:15:08.560 getting see boy, you talking about life coming at you 0:15:08.640 --> 0:15:12.640 fast there, Danny Boy, that escalated. Yeah, I mean I 0:15:12.640 --> 0:15:15.080 didn't really get to say the word wife too much. 0:15:15.640 --> 0:15:20.040 Now I have to say my pregnant wife, wow, which 0:15:20.080 --> 0:15:25.080 is really weird. That's wonderful, man. I congratulations, damn happy man, Daddy, 0:15:25.200 --> 0:15:30.640 Danny G. The daddy Man. To celebrate, I went to 0:15:30.680 --> 0:15:35.040 the Radar Image store in Universal City, Okay. I ran 0:15:35.120 --> 0:15:38.800 inside and I wanted to see what baby stuff they had. 0:15:39.280 --> 0:15:43.680 I brought home some raider pacifiers for her. Yeah, there 0:15:43.680 --> 0:15:46.120 you go there, early jump, I'm gonna just get all 0:15:46.200 --> 0:15:49.240 kinds of raider baby stuff. Yes, you don't know, obviously, 0:15:49.240 --> 0:15:51.000 it's too early. Whether it's you know, it's gonna end 0:15:51.040 --> 0:15:52.800 up a boy or a girl, whatever, You have no idea. 0:15:52.840 --> 0:15:54.960 But I'm gonna say the top to name candidates for 0:15:55.040 --> 0:15:57.280 Danny G's baby, just off the top of my head are. 0:15:57.800 --> 0:16:02.760 Number two is Bo. Uh. Number one is Kobe. So 0:16:02.960 --> 0:16:07.360 I think, uh, either way, boy, that'll be Kobe or 0:16:07.440 --> 0:16:09.600 both and Bo will work. Right. You can do the 0:16:10.160 --> 0:16:13.200 b e a you uh you know that can go 0:16:13.240 --> 0:16:15.760 either way right by Well, yeah, I guess you like 0:16:15.760 --> 0:16:21.360 Bo Derek, you know, because you're you're referencing Bo Jackson. Yeah, yeah, 0:16:21.440 --> 0:16:24.320 it would be that or Marcus Allen or Marcus is 0:16:24.400 --> 0:16:26.880 that's right, Marcus is another one that's for or magic 0:16:27.280 --> 0:16:31.840 or yeah, the name a kid magic. But yeah, we 0:16:31.840 --> 0:16:33.920 were we were joking around the other day because I 0:16:33.960 --> 0:16:38.040 was looking at Hawaiian names. Yeah, I think that might 0:16:38.080 --> 0:16:40.880 be appropriate. And she's like, oh, when the kids in trouble, 0:16:41.000 --> 0:16:43.720 I'm gonna be like Maliky Lucky Lucky come over here. 0:16:45.000 --> 0:16:48.640 Yeah from that ceiling fan. Yeah, well you could also 0:16:49.160 --> 0:16:52.440 does she know what island the Dean was done in? 0:16:52.720 --> 0:16:56.240 Uh like yeah, Mallie, oh there you go. Well put 0:16:56.280 --> 0:16:58.160 Maui in there is the middle name at least, you know, 0:16:58.480 --> 0:17:02.880 yeah you know or yeah, well, well you were doing. 0:17:02.920 --> 0:17:08.800 Apparently that's what led to that believable congratulations to you 0:17:08.880 --> 0:17:12.280 and then the misses there. That's outstanding, So thank you. 0:17:12.640 --> 0:17:16.720 Wonderful situation and I got some powerful seed Ben. What 0:17:16.760 --> 0:17:19.280 can I say? Apparently you're just waiting all these years, Danny, 0:17:19.320 --> 0:17:22.400 until you know you you crossed the threshold. And then 0:17:22.520 --> 0:17:26.520 then first time I ever had sex, boom baby, you 0:17:26.600 --> 0:17:30.840 know you lost your virginity right there. I lost my virginity. Today, 0:17:31.080 --> 0:17:34.520 all these years, think of all that. What could have been? Danny? 0:17:34.640 --> 0:17:39.240 All right? So we've got The Naked City Never Sleeps, 0:17:40.160 --> 0:17:44.119 a classic of the gossip pages. Here tales from the 0:17:44.160 --> 0:17:47.919 Naked City where the names are omitted Danny to protect 0:17:47.960 --> 0:17:50.439 the guilty. So I'm gonna ask your opinion, as a 0:17:50.560 --> 0:17:54.600 like minded individual, and you're listening to this podcast, I 0:17:54.720 --> 0:17:57.480 have been debating in my head whether I'm an asshole 0:17:57.600 --> 0:18:01.560 or not for something I did last week at the 0:18:01.640 --> 0:18:05.639 Charge your Dolphin game. So I go out to these 0:18:05.680 --> 0:18:07.560 games and I try to put some photos up. People 0:18:07.640 --> 0:18:09.680 like that. For some reason, people like to look at 0:18:09.680 --> 0:18:13.239 me doing things I don't quite understand, but whatever. So 0:18:13.320 --> 0:18:15.320 I try to let people into my world and show 0:18:15.400 --> 0:18:18.959 them here's what I'm doing, whether I'm cooking or at 0:18:18.960 --> 0:18:20.760 a game, and here's some of the people that are 0:18:20.800 --> 0:18:23.520 important to me. So I'm at the Charge a Dolphin game, 0:18:23.520 --> 0:18:26.000 and again the names are admitted to protect the So 0:18:26.000 --> 0:18:28.240 I took a bunch of photos. Steve de Sager was there. 0:18:28.240 --> 0:18:29.879 I took a photo with him. I took a photo 0:18:30.000 --> 0:18:34.240 with my friend who does the the he's the green 0:18:34.320 --> 0:18:37.040 hat for the NFL at the Charger games. That means 0:18:37.080 --> 0:18:39.320 he's out there in the field telling the officials, you 0:18:39.440 --> 0:18:42.360 gotta stay on time out until we're back from commercial. 0:18:42.480 --> 0:18:45.159 He's the guy called the green hat. So he's a 0:18:45.200 --> 0:18:47.000 buddy of mine. I've known him. He's a breaking radio 0:18:47.080 --> 0:18:50.320 he's a real estate guy now, Scott, great guy. So 0:18:50.400 --> 0:18:52.680 there was somebody else, and again I will not name them, 0:18:52.800 --> 0:18:54.560 but I wanted to take a photo of this person. 0:18:55.720 --> 0:18:58.920 I've known this person for many years. You know this person, Danny, 0:18:58.920 --> 0:19:02.640 You're aware of this person. Uh, And so I approached 0:19:02.720 --> 0:19:06.360 them to take a photo. They were wearing a mask 0:19:07.840 --> 0:19:10.720 and I said, yeah, just can you just take that 0:19:10.760 --> 0:19:13.080 off for a second. I want to take a quick 0:19:13.119 --> 0:19:17.399 Quoto said no, I can't do it. I said, no, 0:19:17.640 --> 0:19:20.320 I just want to quit. I mean two seconds, quick photo, boom, 0:19:20.359 --> 0:19:22.160 put it back on. You know it's just me. I mean, 0:19:22.240 --> 0:19:24.600 you were the only two people here. I can't do it. 0:19:24.840 --> 0:19:28.399 I'll take the photo with the mask. He's at this point, 0:19:28.520 --> 0:19:32.440 I'm at a fork in the road and I said, 0:19:32.880 --> 0:19:34.960 I said, I'm good. I said, I don't need the photo, 0:19:35.800 --> 0:19:39.280 I said, I. I said to me, I need to 0:19:39.320 --> 0:19:42.080 see your cheeks. I need that to me, that's a 0:19:42.119 --> 0:19:45.399 photo I and I think he was offended and he 0:19:45.440 --> 0:19:48.760 walked away. And I am I the Am I in 0:19:48.800 --> 0:19:51.480 the wrong on that? Danny? Am I the bad guy there? 0:19:51.600 --> 0:19:55.359 I don't get any to me. I look at people 0:19:55.359 --> 0:19:59.760 that wear masks and photographs and I think, why, what's 0:19:59.800 --> 0:20:02.800 the point? You don't get it? And I wasn't gonna 0:20:02.840 --> 0:20:05.480 post it, So maybe somebody told me I should have 0:20:05.520 --> 0:20:07.639 taken it and just been polite and said okay and 0:20:07.640 --> 0:20:10.720 then not posted it. But it just really rubbed me 0:20:10.760 --> 0:20:13.040 the wrong way, like it's like, come, are you that paranoid? 0:20:13.720 --> 0:20:15.600 And I understand this person has some issues and I 0:20:15.640 --> 0:20:17.439 get it. I understand that, but are you that If 0:20:17.480 --> 0:20:19.760 you're that paranoid, you probably should not leave your house. 0:20:20.320 --> 0:20:23.240 Because I don't want to be the bad guy here. 0:20:23.280 --> 0:20:26.960 But the science is in and the mask doesn't do 0:20:27.119 --> 0:20:29.960 much of anything if it. I don't go down that 0:20:30.040 --> 0:20:31.920 road because people get all freaked out. They know it's 0:20:32.040 --> 0:20:36.480 up people when I bring that up and trying dying 0:20:36.520 --> 0:20:38.320 down to a four point seven. I don't want to 0:20:38.359 --> 0:20:41.800 cause pandemonium here. And uh, and and turbulence on the show. 0:20:41.840 --> 0:20:44.399 But I again, and maybe I am the ass and 0:20:44.480 --> 0:20:46.040 you can email me and say, hey, you're a schmuck. 0:20:46.080 --> 0:20:48.040 You should have taken the photo and all that, and 0:20:48.040 --> 0:20:52.080 and maybe that's you're not in the wrong here, thank you. 0:20:52.160 --> 0:20:57.080 I mean, Clay always used to call this cosmetic theater. Yeah, 0:20:57.320 --> 0:21:01.679 once the science came out about the mass not being effective, 0:21:02.440 --> 0:21:05.480 then what were we all doing? Yeah? They well they 0:21:05.520 --> 0:21:08.080 have That's that's the thing that people always trust the science. 0:21:08.320 --> 0:21:10.639 Here we go, we're going down that road, Danny, do 0:21:10.760 --> 0:21:13.639 we go here? All right, we might have to delete 0:21:13.640 --> 0:21:16.800 this podcast, but but no, people would always say, you know, 0:21:16.840 --> 0:21:19.359 the the arrogant response to people that were like the 0:21:19.400 --> 0:21:22.240 master's stupid, it was trust the science. Well, now the 0:21:22.320 --> 0:21:25.399 science is in that proves places that had no mask 0:21:25.600 --> 0:21:28.840 and places that had the mask. It's almost identical. That 0:21:29.119 --> 0:21:32.800 that is almost so we have the numbers to back 0:21:32.840 --> 0:21:35.240 it up. And yet people and I understand, it's kind 0:21:35.240 --> 0:21:37.960 of like the way humans are wired. There's two things 0:21:37.960 --> 0:21:41.840 in play here. Once people decide make it, make their opinion, know, 0:21:41.920 --> 0:21:44.000 they don't want to change their mind. People have decided 0:21:44.000 --> 0:21:45.680 that masks are the way to go, and they don't 0:21:45.680 --> 0:21:47.919 want to change their mind. Plus, it gives you a 0:21:48.080 --> 0:21:51.800 false sense of security, and a lot of people want that, 0:21:52.119 --> 0:21:53.960 and that to me is a big thing for a 0:21:54.000 --> 0:21:56.480 lot of people. And again, I don't I like this guy. 0:21:56.680 --> 0:21:59.199 He's been a friend again, you know him, Danny. I'm 0:21:59.200 --> 0:22:02.280 not gonna say his name year, but it just really 0:22:02.520 --> 0:22:04.840 it was a visceral reaction when he said no, and 0:22:04.880 --> 0:22:09.120 I'm like, okay, I'm I'm good. What do you think 0:22:09.280 --> 0:22:12.760 is going to happen the next time you bump into him? Yeah, 0:22:12.760 --> 0:22:17.000 well I'm guaranteed to bump into him, and I hope 0:22:17.119 --> 0:22:19.439 we just kind of pretend it didn't happen. You know. 0:22:19.560 --> 0:22:22.520 It's like an awkward situation for both of us because 0:22:22.520 --> 0:22:27.800 he's got his position and I've got my position. Awkward. Yeah, 0:22:27.800 --> 0:22:31.439 it's disappointing, and that's the way it goes, all right. 0:22:31.680 --> 0:22:33.479 We and I also ran into helmet Man. There are 0:22:33.520 --> 0:22:38.920 photos of helmet Man. I fell asleep. What a what 0:22:39.080 --> 0:22:41.560 a character helmet Man is. I love that guy. He's 0:22:42.240 --> 0:22:44.639 no matter what he's doing, he's always happy. You know, 0:22:44.680 --> 0:22:46.240 he doesn't have a lot of money, he's kind of 0:22:46.240 --> 0:22:48.240 down on his luck, and he's the happiest guy on 0:22:48.240 --> 0:22:51.800 the really he he sees me, and it's like no 0:22:52.000 --> 0:22:54.280 time has passed, you know, it's like we're buddies. You know. 0:22:54.320 --> 0:22:56.200 I've known him for over twenty years. I run into 0:22:56.240 --> 0:23:00.240 him sporadically and and it's just hilarious. He told me 0:23:00.359 --> 0:23:04.440 some celebrity sighting stories that people he ran into and 0:23:04.560 --> 0:23:06.920 it's I forget off the top of my head here. 0:23:07.240 --> 0:23:09.679 And I do have his number, though he changes the 0:23:09.800 --> 0:23:11.600 number so I can get him. I can get a 0:23:11.600 --> 0:23:13.359 hold of him. We should have him calling the show. 0:23:14.280 --> 0:23:16.840 That's right on the live are yeah? Are we on 0:23:16.880 --> 0:23:22.200
