Speaker 1: Kabooms.

2
00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:05,400

Speaker 2: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants

12
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:43,879
Speaker 1: been through that before. But we're hanging out in the

Speaker 1: Night Day Another college football Saturday here in September, as

15
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 1: it is a great time to consume sporting content and

16
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 1: this show. Of course, we're a hardcore sports podcast. Danny wrong,

17
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 1: That's right.

18
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:04,760
Speaker 3: Yeah.

19
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 4: The problem is I don't think I'll be able to

20
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 4: get on the Sunday podcast with you to react to

21
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:15,040
Speaker 4: all the college football action because I am a Spectrum

22
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 4: La customer, which means been no ABC, no ESPN channels.

23
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 4: They are all blacked out because Disney is fighting with

24
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 4: Spectrum over a new contract.

25
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 1: Well that's wonderful. Yeah, And who's caught in the middle.

26
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,320
Speaker 1: You You are caught in the middle. You have nothing

27
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 1: to do with either one of those massive media companies.

28
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 1: And you'd think with all the changes that have happened

29
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 1: in media now we work in radio, radio is a

30
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 1: lot different than it was when we both started. Television

31
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 1: is a lot different. I'm learnering even more about that.

32
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 1: I'm getting I'm getting taught just how different TV is

33
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 1: than it used to be. But you'd think they say, listen,

34
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 1: everyone's fighting for eyeballs or ear drums or both. Like

35
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 1: there's a path to make it work, right, there's a path,

36
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 1: but they got to fight.

37
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 3: Disney's hurting for money.

38
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:11,919
Speaker 4: So yeah, I feel for them.

39
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 1: Well, I read online somebody wrote that they're trying to

40
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 1: get Apple or Google to buy them or something, and

41
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: I imagine how many that would cost. Holy crap, that

42
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 1: would be insane by Disney. But yeah, they got enough

43
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 1: money these internet companies, they could do it. They do

44
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 1: what real they want with that for sure. So on

45
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,919
Speaker 1: this podcast, they's been our Saturday Life of Malar, Life

46
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 1: of Danny g We've got musical chairs, the radio, walk off, backscratcher,

47
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: the word of the week, pop goes to the culture.

48
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 1: We even get some science stuff going. We'll see if

49
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: we have time for that. I always think in my head, Danny,

50
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 1: that we have more time than we do. You know,

51
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: we all gather together here. It's a very communal situation.

52
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:03,799
Speaker 1: You there, me here, you listening the whole thing, and

53
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 1: then like the time kind of goes by. And as

54
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 1: we've talked about, Danny, the sweet spot for a podcast

55
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 1: about thirty minutes, maybe thirty five minutes. That's the average

56
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 1: time somebody spends on a treadmill or an elliptical machine,

57
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 1: about thirty thirty five minutes. So if you go too long,

58
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:23,239
Speaker 1: it's like these Joe Rogan podcasts that are four hours.

59
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 1: I don't know that people are tuning into the three

60
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: hour and twenty minute mark, you know what I'm saying.

61
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,079
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm wrong, though, I don't know. Maybe Rogan's the

62
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: king of the podcast game, and maybe people just tuning

63
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 1: in that's.

64
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 3: The way to do it.

65
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 1: So we'll start with this now. Last weekend, last weekend

66
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 1: before I was locked in doing the TV stuff and

67
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 1: the radio stuff all ye, which I'm very excited about.

68
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 1: That's why I took some time off early in the year.

69
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 1: I anticipated that this my schedule is gonna be nuts

70
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 1: during football season, so I normally take a lot of

71
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 1: December off. I will not be doing that. I might

72
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 1: take a couple of days off, but I still have

73
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 1: to do the television shows. So I figured, like, if

74
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: I got to do that, why would I nearly do anything?

75
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 1: You know, It's like, come on, I'll be here anyway.

76
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: So anyway, visited last weekend Catalina. I love Catalina Island.

77
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:19,159
Speaker 1: Kind of a last second trip and not really planned

78
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 1: out that great, but we wanted to go before the

79
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,239
Speaker 1: NFL and I was part of a group, a large

80
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 1: group of very important people, very important people including my wife,

81
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 1: and we went there, little island life. It was a

82
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 1: quick day trip. Went in the morning, came back, and

83
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 1: at night went to a restaurant called, I believe it

84
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: was called the Antonios on Avalon, On, which is the

85
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 1: only city we go to on Catalia. It's only one

86
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:46,480
Speaker 1: city there, Avalon and the big city. And we It's

87
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:48,920
Speaker 1: beautiful catalin Island right off the coast, about thirty miles

88
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 1: off the coast, to La. So we went there and

89
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 1: had had a seat right on the table next to

90
00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:05,160
Speaker 1: the mighty Pacific Ocean, right just beachside, picturesque, perfect chef's kiss,

91
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 1: and then we took a trip to the wild side.

92
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,719
Speaker 1: They said, what could possibly go wrong? It's a laid

93
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 1: back rather just calm place and the word is tranquil.

94
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 1: So we're sitting there and they ordered the food and

95
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 1: all that, and I ordered the ribbi cheese, a grilled

96
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 1: cheese sandwich. The grilled cheese, they put some ribbi in there.

97
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 1: I said, well, that sounds pretty good. I'll go with that.

98
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: And that's when things really flipped into the twilight zone.

99
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:41,720
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna paint the picture for you. What's going on?

100
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 1: So again, where did this nice restaurant sitting right there

101
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 1: near the water look out that it's really a harbor.

102
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 1: There's a lot of boats parked there. It's just magic.

103
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 1: Then all of a sudden, out of nowhere, with no warning,

104
00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:09,840
Speaker 1: this random rogue ghost wave water comes flying over and

105
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 1: soaks the entire table. I get, you know, pretty wet,

106
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 1: my legs are covered in water, and like it was wild.

107
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 1: I never seen anything like it.

108
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,599
Speaker 3: You know what your on the end of splash mountain.

109
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, exactly, And the water was fine, and then

110
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:36,719
Speaker 1: out of nowhere, boom, cup boom, like holy holy crap

111
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,479
Speaker 1: on a cracker Batman. That's not supposed to happen. So

112
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 1: the tables soaks. So we're like, we gotta get out

113
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 1: of here. So me, the wife, the party, the people

114
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: we were hanging out with, cool people. Uh, there's actually

115
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,559
Speaker 1: five so there was a party. It was seven, told

116
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 1: me woife. We had five other people with us, some

117
00:06:56,760 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 1: friends of my shall we say roommate. So but we

118
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,719
Speaker 1: ended up moving tables. We go across the restaurant, so

119
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 1: we're now as far away on outdoor seating, as far

120
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: away from the water as we can get. Otherwise we

121
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 1: have to leave the restaurant. Okay, we have to leave

122
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 1: the other So okay, we're sitting there eating Food's pretty good,

123
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, cuff flewey. Well this

124
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 1: was not a wave. This was more of a we

125
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 1: were attacked by a pack of bees. Oh my gosh,

126
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 1: there was an infestation of yellow jacket bees.

127
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 3: Did they sound like.

128
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 1: Just like that?

129
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 3: Yeah?

130
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 1: Oh that sounds like something else. Does that sound yeah?

131
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I think the first time you try to

132
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 4: do it, your mic cutout like you were on NBC.

133
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. So there's an infestation of yellowjacket. So now

134
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 1: we've moved at this point, we've moved tables twice. But

135
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 1: these bees are hungry and they apparently liked what we

136
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 1: were eating based on their movements. They were swarming around

137
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 1: the table. So now we're like, well, we've already moved once,

138
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 1: are we going to move a third time? Where else

139
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 1: do we go? So we determined we must go indoors.

140
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 1: So there was a little section of the restaurant that

141
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 1: was indoors. Most of the seating was outdoors. So we

142
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 1: then went inside the restaurant. We said, listen, we're gonna

143
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 1: attacked by bees here. People. They're bees big, they look

144
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 1: like the massive wasp. I mean, these things are here.

145
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:40,199
Speaker 1: And so we went inside the restaurant and we were

146
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 1: able to finish the meal, but we had to sit

147
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 1: the first time ever I had said three tables at

148
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 1: a restaurant to try to get it out. I was

149
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,440
Speaker 1: convinced we weren't go inside. We're gonna be attacked by

150
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 1: like termites or something I don't know, or locusts. And

151
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 1: the bees were not just in the restaurant. Like all

152
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 1: the trash cans on Catalina Island covered with bees. It's crazy.

153
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 1: I guess this happened every ten years or something. There's

154
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 1: some kind of biblical event where the bees just ascend

155
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 1: on Catalina Island, and that happened to be the day

156
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 1: we were there. So we finished the meal. Then my

157
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 1: wife and the group, the five Pack, the wolf Pack, decided, Hey,

158
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 1: let's go snorkling. Why else you know why we go

159
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 1: to Catalina? Go to snork great snorkler. Now, Danny, I

160
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 1: gotta tell you know. We just played musical chairs and

161
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 1: I determined I made a tactical decision. I want to

162
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 1: ask you if I made the right decision. So everyone's

163
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 1: going snorkeling. Guess who the party pooper was, Yeah, that's right.

164
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 1: I sat on the beach right near that beautiful casino

165
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 1: in Catalina, that round building which is not an actual casino,

166
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:49,200
Speaker 1: it's a movie theater. You've got that, you got lover's

167
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 1: cove on the other side. Amazing. Snorkeling just world class,

168
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:57,559
Speaker 1: and I love it. I've always loved snorkeling and Catalina.

169
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 1: It's wonderful. But I sat up. Why did I sit out?

170
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 1: I have dreadful hearing from working in radio, and I

171
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 1: had bad hearing before I got into radio, So it's

172
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 1: not like it's not like I started out with great

173
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 1: hearing and then all of a sudden things went sideways. No,

174
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 1: I have hearing that is just hor horrific, right, and

175
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 1: so I have to be very mindful of that. And

176
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 1: when I you know, I haven't been. I'm unable to

177
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 1: find too many elixirs, the magic potions that will well.

178
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 3: Yeah.

179
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 1: So one of the problems I've had over the years

180
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 1: is when I go into a swimming pool or the

181
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 1: ocean and I swim, if I end up getting any

182
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:52,080
Speaker 1: water in my ear, I then have a major problem.

183
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 1: I get this thing called swimmer's ear and my ability

184
00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 1: to hear. My auditory perception of sound goes way down,

185
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 1: which becomes quite a problem here, And in my left

186
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:11,680
Speaker 1: ear I become almost hearing and paired, which is a problem.

187
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:13,079
Speaker 1: So I said, you know what, this is a big

188
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 1: week for me. I got this dopey TV show. This

189
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,440
Speaker 1: is something I never thought would happen. It's happened. So

190
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:22,720
Speaker 1: now it's like, I do I really want to go

191
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 1: snorkeling for like forty minutes and then have to deal

192
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 1: for the next month because it takes about a month

193
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:30,959
Speaker 1: for my year to snap back. So I really want

194
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 1: to deal with this, and I was like, nah no,

195
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 1: So I sat. I think that was the right call.

196
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 1: Though I don't know. He's like, yeah, maybe it might

197
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 1: have been all right, Maybe I would have been okay,

198
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:43,320
Speaker 1: but I didn't want to chance it.

199
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 4: So, you know, I have the same sort of ear

200
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 4: canal issues. My left ear does the same thing. So

201
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:54,479
Speaker 4: the last time my wife and I were in Hawaii,

202
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 4: and if we're there, she has to go snorkling.

203
00:11:58,120 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 3: I get it.

204
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 4: It's the favorite thing for a lot of people when

205
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 4: they're in beautiful waters. So what we did is we

206
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:09,959
Speaker 4: got the air putty. There is special air plugs for

207
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 4: the water. I think that's what you've got to try

208
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 4: next time.

209
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 1: Well, I've tried some, and I guess my ear drum

210
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 1: is shaped, my ear canal is shaped weirdly. But is

211
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 1: it over the counter? You can get ear plugs custom made.

212
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 3: Yeah.

213
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 1: I don't know how much of those things cost.

214
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 3: Maybe I should do that. That would be a good investment.

215
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, the ear the ear puddies do just get that

216
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:39,560
Speaker 1: at the Walgreens or CBS or something that.

217
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly, and you know it was. It was kind

218
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 4: of uncomfortable while I was in the water, but I

219
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 4: was grateful that when we got back on the boat

220
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,680
Speaker 4: and we were done that day, I took them out

221
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 4: and had no swimmers there, no issues.

222
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 1: Okay, well that's good. Yeah. I've tried different ear plug

223
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 1: things and so some of them have worked, okay, but usually,

224
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 1: like even if a little water gets in my ear,

225
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 1: I'm screwed. So it's like it has to be one

226
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 1: hundred percent or it's either one hundred percent or nothing.

227
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:13,680
Speaker 1: You know, there's no middle ground and all that. And

228
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 1: then if I had had water in my ear, I

229
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 1: would have not only not been able to do the

230
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,319
Speaker 1: TV show well, but I would have I guess you

231
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 1: could say I would have done a radio walk off, Dandy.

232
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:24,559
Speaker 1: I would have just walked off and that would have

233
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 1: been that.

234
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 4: You know, After Covino and Rich, I do post production,

235
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:33,719
Speaker 4: like find promos for them and get the podcast up

236
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 4: and make their best of and take little drops out

237
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 4: of the show, little funny moments, whatever the case might be.

238
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 4: Takes me a couple of hours to get all that done.

239
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,960
Speaker 4: So while I'm in the production studio doing all that

240
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 4: after the show live in the studio is the odd

241
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 4: couple Chris Broussard. He's on the East Coast, but in

242
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:58,080
Speaker 4: the studio, the actual brand new, state of the art

243
00:13:58,120 --> 00:13:59,839
Speaker 4: FSR Studios is on.

244
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 1: Rob Parker, Rob Parker, Rob Parker, out of the Parker.

245
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 3: Speaking of TV.

246
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 4: He's got a new TV gig that's gonna be happening

247
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 4: after Sunday Night Football.

248
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 1: I saw that he's gonna be on Channel four in

249
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 1: l A. And they actually film that right near this,

250
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 1: like the next building over from where my show is

251
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 1: filmed at Universal. So that's kind of cool.

252
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 4: It is cool he and Jonas are going to be

253
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 4: on that show. Yeah, props to them. So, you know,

254
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 4: I get to hear some funny things coming out of

255
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 4: that studio because let's just say, Rob's voice penetrates studio

256
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 4: walls and doors.

257
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 1: Rob, and he's you know, he does not stop when

258
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 1: we're playing commercials. He's still going oh yeah yeah.

259
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 4: So even with my production studio door shut, I'll still

260
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 4: hear him, especially in the hallway yelling down to the

261
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 4: editors Peecocky about a pick that he had or something

262
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 4: that was going on in a baseball game, you know,

263
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 4: so it's kind of normal for me to hear him,

264
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 4: but on Tuesday it was extra special. I call it

265
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 4: a radio walk off because I happened to have my

266
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 4: production studio door cracked open, and then I saw the

267
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 4: reflection at his studio off the old studio door, and

268
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 4: I'm glad I didn't have the door shut all the way, Ben,

269
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 4: because I got to experience what I guess is the

270
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 4: equivalent in our business to a crazy bat flip.

271
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 3: Their argument.

272
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 4: Their big debate on the air between Parker and Brusard

273
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 4: was what is this game, this Thursday night game mean

274
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 4: to the Detroit Lions with you know, Kelsey out and

275
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 4: no Chris Jones. Rob Parker's take was if the Lions

276
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 4: lose this game, they suck.

277
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 3: They they just.

278
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 4: Are the worst thing on the planet. There is no

279
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 4: excuse for them to lose this game. And Chris Broussard

280
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 4: had the other side of it, saying, you know, I'll

281
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 4: respect them as long as they keep it close against

282
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 4: the world champs, and Parker was screaming, how could you

283
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 4: even have that take? Just admit it. The Lions are

284
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 4: perennial losers. If they don't turn things around right now

285
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 4: on Thursday night, this is their big chance. He was

286
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 4: screaming at the top of his lungs. This is one

287
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 4: of the loudest times I've ever heard Rob Parker on

288
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 4: the air. So the segment is over. I heard a

289
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 4: lot of the screaming and shouting. You know, as you know,

290
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 4: there's hallway speakers, so I heard the speakers distorting with

291
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 4: their argument on the air, and then a door flings

292
00:16:56,400 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 4: open Rob Parker. I see the reflection of him walking

293
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:04,239
Speaker 4: out of the on air studio. This was like a

294
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:07,880
Speaker 4: bat flip Big Ben. He sees Shaye and some other

295
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:11,679
Speaker 4: editors down the hallway and he screams to them.

296
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:15,359
Speaker 3: Did you just hear me shouting on the air? That's

297
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 3: how it's done. That's sports talk radio right there.

298
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 4: And it was talk about peacocking. It was awesome to see, though,

299
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 4: And at that moment I stopped and I thought to myself, Man,

300
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:35,440
Speaker 4: it's moments like this where I really got to take

301
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 4: it in and appreciate where I'm at and what I'm

302
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:39,480
Speaker 4: doing right now.

303
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:43,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's outstanding. I love I love working with Rob.

304
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 1: When I've worked with him over the years, he's great.

305
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 1: Did he do a pirouette? Did he just I.

306
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 4: Mean it looked like he was about to round first

307
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:51,959
Speaker 4: and second base.

308
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:53,400
Speaker 3: That's awesome.

309
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 1: And I feel feel bad for Rob because he has

310
00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:01,400
Speaker 1: such disdain for the Detroit Lineons. There's such a hatred

311
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:05,679
Speaker 1: from his time with Detroit that he is convinced the

312
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 1: Lions are going to be terrible and he is unwilling

313
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 1: to change his position on the Lions. And if you

314
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 1: look at the Detroit Lions schedule, they are set up

315
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 1: based on the point spread games that you should win.

316
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 1: The Lions have a pretty good opportunity. Now, usually you

317
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:29,719
Speaker 1: lose a game you're not supposed to lose, but if

318
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 1: you just do what you're supposed to do, the Lions

319
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:36,119
Speaker 1: should get off to a six and zero start. And

320
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 1: then if they play the Baltimore Ravens in Week seven,

321
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 1: Ravens are pretty good team, so that's the game you

322
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,440
Speaker 1: can lose. But they're going to be favored over Seattle

323
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:50,680
Speaker 1: at home, Atlanta at home at Green Bay. I would

324
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 1: be surprised if the Lions aren't favored there. Carolina is

325
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 1: a bad team, the Bucks are a bad team. There's

326
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:59,399
Speaker 1: a lot of cupcase for the Lions to play early

327
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 1: in the season, so you get off to a six

328
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 1: and oh start seven and oh eight and oh I

329
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 1: mean or your mate, your set. So they got a

330
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 1: really favorable schedule. They do have to play the Cowboys,

331
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 1: who are a good regular season team, and they play

332
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:19,159
Speaker 1: the Chargers and the Ravens outside and the Raiders. So

333
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:23,399
Speaker 1: we'll see what happens. But yeah, Rob Man, he he

334
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 1: has no compassion for the Lion fan.

335
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:27,640
Speaker 3: He is just.

336
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 5: I'm not impressed. I'm not anybody could have beaten the Chiefs,

337
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:34,880
Speaker 5: you know, that.

338
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:36,920
Speaker 3: Did what they should have done.

339
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:41,119
Speaker 5: Chris Tony game the game, that guy Tony there is

340
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:47,200
Speaker 5: Tony all right, So we have back scratcher, backscratcher.

341
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:50,240
Speaker 1: Now what is backscratcher? You scratch our back. We scratch

342
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:53,119
Speaker 1: her as it is our weekly tip of the on

343
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:57,840

Speaker 1: minion in the malor militia. And I want to point out, Danny,

345
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:06,920
Speaker 1: these are actual reviews. Like we don't make them up,

346
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 1: We don't write them ourselves. These are just people that

347
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 1: are fans. And if we don't have any reviews, we

348
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:14,360
Speaker 1: don't read the reviews. So Danny, do you think this week.

349
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 1: We almost were completely shut out in the month of August.

350
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 1: We had the last couple of days of August we

351
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:25,880
Speaker 1: avoided the shutout. We're now into the month of September.

352
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 1: Do you think we had any reviews on the on

Speaker 1: love Lake Michigan. And my wife she had never been

380
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 1: to Lake Michigan. We were in Chicago, driving around Chicago

381
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 1: and we came across Lake Michigan and my wist said, well,

382
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:21,399
Speaker 1: that's like an ocean. I said, well, no, it's not

383
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 1: an ocean. It's a lake. And it's so big though,

384
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 1: it's like you might as well be an ocean, right,

385
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:31,679
Speaker 1: And it's like mass thinks, all those great lakes Lake Superior. Yeah,

00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:42,639
Speaker 1: Yeah? Should be. It's like that's big enough. He's long everywhere.

392
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:53,800

393
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:54,680
Speaker 1: we were late.

394
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:58,240
Speaker 4: I don't think our birthdays qualify as boomer anyways.

395
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 1: We're definitely not boomers, but we were late to the

396
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:05,639
Speaker 1: cool young generation. Fold drizzle that will replace us, Danny

00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:21,000

418
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:23,919
Speaker 1: what direction your life's gonna go. And you're like, are

419
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:26,400
Speaker 1: you gonna lose all your friends? It is a lot

420
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 1: different though, now, I would say, because you can keep

421
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:32,479
Speaker 1: track of everybody on social media. But when we were

422
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 1: in high school, it's like, you're pretty much. If you

423
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:37,920
Speaker 1: didn't get somebody's phone number, you're you know, you're done.

424
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 3: That was it?

425
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:41,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, man, we were fresh off of sober grad night

426
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:44,119
Speaker 4: where we got to dance with the hot girls from

427
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:45,400
Speaker 4: the high school all night long.

428
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 5: I got turned on and it scared me.

429
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:53,600

Speaker 3: Word of the week?

452
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 1: I need the word? What is the word? The bird

453
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 1: is the word? No, that's not the word. Bird is

454
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:57,560
Speaker 1: not the word this is. We don't do shout outs,

455
00:25:57,560 --> 00:25:59,200
Speaker 1: well I guess we can. It's a podcast Mike and

456
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:02,200
Speaker 1: Holland Michigan. A fan of the word of the week

457
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:04,640
Speaker 1: or phrase of the week. We're gonna do a word

458
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:11,680
Speaker 1: though this week. The word of the week television television. Yeah,

459
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:13,480
Speaker 1: I wonder how I came up with that one. So

460
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:17,159
Speaker 1: the word is television. Now, this comes from a mix

461
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 1: of a couple of words. There's a word in ancient

462
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 1: Greek telly t e l e the beginning of television

463
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:30,200
Speaker 1: t e l e, which is ancient Greek that means far,

464
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:39,880
Speaker 1: and then in the Latin language visio means site. So

465
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 1: they combined an ancient Greek word with a Latin word

466
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:49,200
Speaker 1: telly visio, and then they made that they morphed that

467
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:52,960
Speaker 1: into television, the first time that word has been documented

468
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:56,920
Speaker 1: in use. It does not go back that far. Television

469
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:59,119
Speaker 1: hasn't been around that long. The first use of the

470
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:04,680
Speaker 1: word television was in nineteen hundred by a Russian scientist,

471
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 1: Constantine Persky was his name, and words was his game.

472
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 1: He used it in some academic paper that was presented.

473
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:18,879
Speaker 1: It actually wasn't even just an academic paper. It was

474
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 1: presented in France at the first International Congress of Electricity. Boy,

475
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:28,160
Speaker 1: that must have been really entertaining.

476
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 3: They split pictures of root beer.

477
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:32,679
Speaker 1: Oh, that must have been wonderful. And that was in

478
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:36,440
Speaker 1: August of nineteen hundred during the International World's Fair in Paris.

479
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 1: So it started at nineteen hundred. But the first time

480
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:43,960
Speaker 1: the word television appeared after that, they said, was nineteen

481
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 1: oh seven. And there was this discussion about at the

482
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:50,679
Speaker 1: time what was supposed to be a theoretical device that

483
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 1: transported images across telegraph or telephone wires. And then years later,

484
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:02,640
Speaker 1: I think it took another fifteen years roughly give or take,

485
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:05,879
Speaker 1: as the crow flies, and then that television came around.

486
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:11,160
Speaker 1: So when you hear me bragging or shouting about television,

487
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:14,960
Speaker 1: I think I'm bragging. But you know, television is a

488
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:23,160
Speaker 1: combo word of ancient Greek and Latin past together. Who knew, well,

489
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 1: somebody knew.

490
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:26,359
Speaker 3: My mom had another name for it. She called it

491
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:27,360
Speaker 3: the boob tube.

492
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:30,880
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, and I use that too, Although I don't

493
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 1: know the team the people actually work in TV. I

494
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 1: don't know if they liked that boob tube. I think

495
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 1: they they have a hatred. There's a contempt for that word,

496
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 1: so I try to I only use that with my

497
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:46,239
Speaker 1: radio people. So we went a little longer on this one.

498
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:48,479
Speaker 1: Danny said, I think we'll move pop Goos the Culture

499
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 1: to the Sunday podcast. That'll give us more time to

500
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 1: find some stories for that. So I think we'll be

501
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 1: good on that. And we have the mailbag, so we

502
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 1: have a lot to get to on the Sunday podcast

503
00:28:57,680 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 1: as well. Right, anything else you want to promote Saturday

504
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 1: in the City College football all day long. Dion Sanders

506
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 1: college season so far.

507
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:13,680
Speaker 4: Well, the one thing I will give you a reminder

508
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:17,000

Speaker 4: be Sunday football games on, so I will do my

510
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 4: very best to hurry my post production and get Sunday

511
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 4: Show up before the first game. That way, you can

512
00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:32,040
Speaker 4: download it and that'll be your pre game. So please

515
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, otherwise we'll just not do the Sunday Show. So

516
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:41,720
Speaker 1: we want to keep doing the mail Bag. People love

517
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 1: the mail Bag. It's one of the more popular.

518
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 3: Well, I have a new announcement.

519
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:47,760

521
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 1: No, no, we watch it. We want you to be

522
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 1: part of this, but we're not going to do it

523
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 1: if no one's listening. And sometimes early in the NFL

524
00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 1: season things go now. But yeah, what's the sweet spot

525
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:04,280
Speaker 1: time for Friday morning? We tape on Friday morning, so

526
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:08,400

527
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 1: but Sunday I'll have a little bit of a head start.

528
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 1: I will say at least if you have maybe ninety

529
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 1: minutes before the first game, that's enough time for you

530
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:21,120
Speaker 1: to get the Sunday show downloaded. Yeah yeah, so yeah,

531
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:24,760

532
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 1: just deal with it, and we'll try to get it

533
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:28,600
Speaker 1: up as early. You know, Danny's got a lot of

534
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 1: plates he's spinning, so he'll get it up as quickly

535
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 1: as he can. But you've got the Malord Show to

00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:39,160
Speaker 1: plenty of audio content on Friday, and then this podcast,

538
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:44,080
Speaker 1: which was yesterday's podcast, is like bonus content. And then

539
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 1: on Saturday, which is today, you got this.

540
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, and just remember nobody's sitting around drinking martinis with

541
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:53,080
Speaker 4: their feet up.

542
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 3: On a counter. This is like serious business to us.

00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:08,280
Speaker 1: So stop berating us, stop yelling, and mind you know.

546
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 4: What actually been The listeners have been really cool lately

547
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 4: because a couple of years ago, when I first joined you,

548
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:17,680
Speaker 4: it reminded me about kick the coverage because there would

549
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:21,480
Speaker 4: be people literally tapping their foot waiting for the upload

550
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:23,240
Speaker 4: and talk about pressure.

551
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:24,160
Speaker 3: Oh my god.

552
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:26,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I know for sure, And I get that

553
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:31,320
Speaker 1: during the week if if something goes wrong, people get

554
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 1: very contentious and they blame me, and I'm like, well,

555
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't have anything to do with that.

556
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 1: I mean, that's not well.

557
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 3: Your dating is on it, so it is your fault.

558
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like, there was a day this week for some reason,

559
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 1: Hour two of the Thursday podcast didn't make it up.

560
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:52,760
Speaker 1: There was some kind of glitch, something went wrong. Maybe

561
00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 1: there was a bot attack. I don't know what happened.

562
00:31:55,600 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 1: And I'm getting messages people are wanting to squabb with me.

563
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 1: You fired, they're upset with me. They're taking me to

564
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 1: task and you know, dressing me down an email. I'm like, well,

565
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 1: I don't, I mean, you know, to do with that.

566
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 1: I did the hour I mean I did. I didn't

567
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:15,400
Speaker 1: take hour two off. I didn't say let me do

568
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:17,479
Speaker 1: hour one. I'll take our two off. I'll go have

569
00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 1: a burger, a cheeseburger, and then I'll come back for

570
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 1: hour three. So there's no need to laceen to me.

571
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:26,600
Speaker 1: You know, we'll get it up. And I don't know

572
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:28,320
Speaker 1: what happened hour two. I don't know if our two

573
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:30,240
Speaker 1: ever made it up, I have no idea, but people

574
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:32,240
Speaker 1: were very hot blooded.

575
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 3: It's a good problem to have.

576
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:38,720
Speaker 4: And can you imagine taping podcasts that nobody wants to hear?

577
00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:41,280
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, well I've done radio shows no one wanted

578
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:42,880
Speaker 1: to hear, so I do know that. Anyway, I definitely

579
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:45,240
Speaker 1: don't want to go back to that world. I toally

580
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:48,280
Speaker 1: do not want. I would much rather have a dysfunctional

581
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 1: relationship with a bunch of grumpy, belligerent cantaker as people

582
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:56,120
Speaker 1: that are unsympathetic to the lives that we lead. Danny

583
00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:59,040
Speaker 1: then have to do a show where it's just h

584
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 1: there's nothing, there's no buzz, there's no juice. You don't

585
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:02,360
Speaker 1: want that.

586
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:05,760
Speaker 3: That's the great? Uh well, what's his name? You know? Weber?

587
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:10,440
Speaker 1: Uh uh, not Chris Weber, but Brian Weber.

588
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:14,160
Speaker 4: Brian Weber as the great. Brian Weber once said to

589
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 4: me at NBC Sports Radio, are.

590
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 3: We even on the air right now? Not even phone call?

591
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:23,160
Speaker 3: What is this in college radio?

592
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:26,480
Speaker 1: Is outstanding?

593
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 3: Uh? Now?

594
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:31,600
Speaker 1: He didn't he didn't complain on the air, did he.

595
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:34,240
Speaker 1: Because you're never supposed to go there. You're never supposed

596
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 1: to go there. You on the air. But it is

597
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 1: funny when you're you know, and these things happen from

598
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:43,600
Speaker 1: time to time. People come in there and they'll say, well,

599
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:46,480
Speaker 1: you're on five hundred radio stations, you know, and all this,

600
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:49,520
Speaker 1: and but a lot of the call a lot of

601
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:54,000
Speaker 1: the shows don't take calls anymore. So people have kind

602
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 1: of been programmed over the years to stop calling as much,

603
00:33:57,320 --> 00:34:00,719
Speaker 1: and people got stuff going on and all that. But

604
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:05,320
Speaker 1: it's funny when people have absolute meltdowns. And one of

605
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:08,160
Speaker 1: my favorite stories when I did local radio in La

606
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:10,319
Speaker 1: they hired one of the news inc one of the

607
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 1: sports news guys who was a big star. That was

608
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 1: back when local television really mattered and it was a

609
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:19,680
Speaker 1: big deal and all that, and so they hired this

610
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:22,160
Speaker 1: guy and his theory was he was going to come

611
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:25,600
Speaker 1: in there and not do any prep read a couple

612
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:28,319
Speaker 1: of lines out of the La Times, the print edition

613
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:31,280
Speaker 1: of the La Times, add a little of his opinion

614
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:34,200
Speaker 1: on top of it, give out the phone number, toss

615
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:36,440
Speaker 1: the break for the rest of the hour. He was

616
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:39,759
Speaker 1: going to take call, and he has all planned out, right,

617
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:42,440
Speaker 1: So he opens up the show. He reads like the

618
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:45,680
Speaker 1: Bill Plashki column in the La Times and the TJ.
