He's the last remnants 0:00:09.240 --> 0:00:12.520 of the old republic, a sol fashion of fairness. He 0:00:12.640 --> 0:00:15.560 treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the 0:00:15.640 --> 0:00:19.520 rich pill poppers in the penthouse. Wow to clearing House 0:00:19.560 --> 0:00:23.240 of hot takes, break free for something special. The Fifth 0:00:23.280 --> 0:00:29.400 Hour with Ben Maller starts right now. 0:00:29.040 --> 0:00:35.000 In the ad every way, it's the Fifth Hour with 0:00:35.120 --> 0:00:38.120 Ben Maller and Danny g. But you already knew that. 0:00:38.479 --> 0:00:41.720 You already knew you don't stumble onto a podcast. We've 0:00:41.720 --> 0:00:43.879 been through that before. But we're hanging out in the 0:00:43.920 --> 0:00:48.159 podcast dojo, and I hope you're having a wonderful What 0:00:48.400 --> 0:00:53.160 Night Day Another college football Saturday here in September, as 0:00:53.360 --> 0:00:59.000 it is a great time to consume sporting content and 0:00:59.080 --> 0:01:03.120 this show. Of course, we're a hardcore sports podcast. Danny wrong, 0:01:04.160 --> 0:01:04.480 That's right. 0:01:04.560 --> 0:01:04.760 Yeah. 0:01:05.000 --> 0:01:07.560 The problem is I don't think I'll be able to 0:01:07.640 --> 0:01:11.160 get on the Sunday podcast with you to react to 0:01:11.200 --> 0:01:15.040 all the college football action because I am a Spectrum 0:01:15.360 --> 0:01:21.000 La customer, which means been no ABC, no ESPN channels. 0:01:21.200 --> 0:01:24.480 They are all blacked out because Disney is fighting with 0:01:24.600 --> 0:01:26.360 Spectrum over a new contract. 0:01:26.959 --> 0:01:29.800 Well that's wonderful. Yeah, And who's caught in the middle. 0:01:30.000 --> 0:01:33.320 You You are caught in the middle. You have nothing 0:01:33.319 --> 0:01:36.200 to do with either one of those massive media companies. 0:01:36.720 --> 0:01:40.840 And you'd think with all the changes that have happened 0:01:40.840 --> 0:01:43.800 in media now we work in radio, radio is a 0:01:43.840 --> 0:01:46.560 lot different than it was when we both started. Television 0:01:46.680 --> 0:01:48.560 is a lot different. I'm learnering even more about that. 0:01:48.600 --> 0:01:52.120 I'm getting I'm getting taught just how different TV is 0:01:52.160 --> 0:01:54.600 than it used to be. But you'd think they say, listen, 0:01:54.760 --> 0:01:58.600 everyone's fighting for eyeballs or ear drums or both. Like 0:01:59.000 --> 0:02:02.000 there's a path to make it work, right, there's a path, 0:02:02.720 --> 0:02:03.640 but they got to fight. 0:02:04.000 --> 0:02:05.400 Disney's hurting for money. 0:02:05.720 --> 0:02:11.919 So yeah, I feel for them. 0:02:12.120 --> 0:02:16.280 Well, I read online somebody wrote that they're trying to 0:02:16.280 --> 0:02:20.000 get Apple or Google to buy them or something, and 0:02:20.440 --> 0:02:25.000 I imagine how many that would cost. Holy crap, that 0:02:25.040 --> 0:02:28.880 would be insane by Disney. But yeah, they got enough 0:02:28.880 --> 0:02:32.480 money these internet companies, they could do it. They do 0:02:32.520 --> 0:02:35.440 what real they want with that for sure. So on 0:02:35.440 --> 0:02:38.919 this podcast, they's been our Saturday Life of Malar, Life 0:02:38.919 --> 0:02:44.240 of Danny g We've got musical chairs, the radio, walk off, backscratcher, 0:02:44.480 --> 0:02:47.280 the word of the week, pop goes to the culture. 0:02:47.320 --> 0:02:49.200 We even get some science stuff going. We'll see if 0:02:49.200 --> 0:02:52.760 we have time for that. I always think in my head, Danny, 0:02:52.760 --> 0:02:56.160 that we have more time than we do. You know, 0:02:56.200 --> 0:02:59.560 we all gather together here. It's a very communal situation. 0:02:59.800 --> 0:03:03.799 You there, me here, you listening the whole thing, and 0:03:04.600 --> 0:03:06.840 then like the time kind of goes by. And as 0:03:06.840 --> 0:03:09.480 we've talked about, Danny, the sweet spot for a podcast 0:03:09.840 --> 0:03:13.560 about thirty minutes, maybe thirty five minutes. That's the average 0:03:13.600 --> 0:03:16.640 time somebody spends on a treadmill or an elliptical machine, 0:03:16.760 --> 0:03:19.280 about thirty thirty five minutes. So if you go too long, 0:03:19.639 --> 0:03:23.239 it's like these Joe Rogan podcasts that are four hours. 0:03:23.320 --> 0:03:25.560 I don't know that people are tuning into the three 0:03:25.600 --> 0:03:28.600 hour and twenty minute mark, you know what I'm saying. 0:03:29.639 --> 0:03:32.079 Maybe I'm wrong, though, I don't know. Maybe Rogan's the 0:03:32.200 --> 0:03:34.920 king of the podcast game, and maybe people just tuning 0:03:34.960 --> 0:03:36.440 in that's. 0:03:35.400 --> 0:03:36.800 The way to do it. 0:03:36.840 --> 0:03:41.480 So we'll start with this now. Last weekend, last weekend 0:03:41.680 --> 0:03:45.560 before I was locked in doing the TV stuff and 0:03:45.600 --> 0:03:47.840 the radio stuff all ye, which I'm very excited about. 0:03:48.240 --> 0:03:50.080 That's why I took some time off early in the year. 0:03:50.120 --> 0:03:52.920 I anticipated that this my schedule is gonna be nuts 0:03:53.400 --> 0:03:57.080 during football season, so I normally take a lot of 0:03:57.120 --> 0:03:59.800 December off. I will not be doing that. I might 0:03:59.800 --> 0:04:01.600 take a couple of days off, but I still have 0:04:01.640 --> 0:04:03.920 to do the television shows. So I figured, like, if 0:04:03.920 --> 0:04:06.000 I got to do that, why would I nearly do anything? 0:04:06.040 --> 0:04:08.320 You know, It's like, come on, I'll be here anyway. 0:04:08.800 --> 0:04:13.760 So anyway, visited last weekend Catalina. I love Catalina Island. 0:04:14.360 --> 0:04:19.159 Kind of a last second trip and not really planned 0:04:19.200 --> 0:04:21.000 out that great, but we wanted to go before the 0:04:21.120 --> 0:04:24.239 NFL and I was part of a group, a large 0:04:24.240 --> 0:04:28.560 group of very important people, very important people including my wife, 0:04:28.680 --> 0:04:31.719 and we went there, little island life. It was a 0:04:31.800 --> 0:04:34.080 quick day trip. Went in the morning, came back, and 0:04:34.160 --> 0:04:37.120 at night went to a restaurant called, I believe it 0:04:37.120 --> 0:04:40.880 was called the Antonios on Avalon, On, which is the 0:04:40.920 --> 0:04:42.640 only city we go to on Catalia. It's only one 0:04:42.640 --> 0:04:46.480 city there, Avalon and the big city. And we It's 0:04:46.520 --> 0:04:48.920 beautiful catalin Island right off the coast, about thirty miles 0:04:48.920 --> 0:04:53.360 off the coast, to La. So we went there and 0:04:53.720 --> 0:04:56.800 had had a seat right on the table next to 0:04:56.839 --> 0:05:05.160 the mighty Pacific Ocean, right just beachside, picturesque, perfect chef's kiss, 0:05:06.720 --> 0:05:10.920 and then we took a trip to the wild side. 0:05:11.120 --> 0:05:13.719 They said, what could possibly go wrong? It's a laid 0:05:13.880 --> 0:05:18.920 back rather just calm place and the word is tranquil. 0:05:19.920 --> 0:05:23.440 So we're sitting there and they ordered the food and 0:05:23.480 --> 0:05:29.080 all that, and I ordered the ribbi cheese, a grilled 0:05:29.160 --> 0:05:31.960 cheese sandwich. The grilled cheese, they put some ribbi in there. 0:05:31.960 --> 0:05:34.360 I said, well, that sounds pretty good. I'll go with that. 0:05:35.120 --> 0:05:39.080 And that's when things really flipped into the twilight zone. 0:05:39.480 --> 0:05:41.720 So I'm gonna paint the picture for you. What's going on? 0:05:42.279 --> 0:05:44.760 So again, where did this nice restaurant sitting right there 0:05:44.800 --> 0:05:47.760 near the water look out that it's really a harbor. 0:05:48.120 --> 0:05:51.120 There's a lot of boats parked there. It's just magic. 0:05:52.440 --> 0:05:55.760 Then all of a sudden, out of nowhere, with no warning, 0:05:56.880 --> 0:06:09.840 this random rogue ghost wave water comes flying over and 0:06:10.240 --> 0:06:14.680 soaks the entire table. I get, you know, pretty wet, 0:06:14.920 --> 0:06:19.800 my legs are covered in water, and like it was wild. 0:06:21.160 --> 0:06:22.240 I never seen anything like it. 0:06:22.760 --> 0:06:25.599 You know what your on the end of splash mountain. 0:06:26.040 --> 0:06:29.760 Yeah, yeah, exactly, And the water was fine, and then 0:06:30.040 --> 0:06:36.719 out of nowhere, boom, cup boom, like holy holy crap 0:06:36.760 --> 0:06:39.479 on a cracker Batman. That's not supposed to happen. So 0:06:40.240 --> 0:06:42.400 the tables soaks. So we're like, we gotta get out 0:06:42.400 --> 0:06:46.120 of here. So me, the wife, the party, the people 0:06:46.120 --> 0:06:49.880 we were hanging out with, cool people. Uh, there's actually 0:06:50.200 --> 0:06:53.559 five so there was a party. It was seven, told 0:06:53.560 --> 0:06:56.400 me woife. We had five other people with us, some 0:06:56.760 --> 0:07:00.320 friends of my shall we say roommate. So but we 0:07:01.000 --> 0:07:03.719 ended up moving tables. We go across the restaurant, so 0:07:03.720 --> 0:07:07.320 we're now as far away on outdoor seating, as far 0:07:07.360 --> 0:07:11.480 away from the water as we can get. Otherwise we 0:07:11.560 --> 0:07:14.280 have to leave the restaurant. Okay, we have to leave 0:07:14.280 --> 0:07:18.480 the other So okay, we're sitting there eating Food's pretty good, 0:07:19.160 --> 0:07:23.360 and then all of a sudden, cuff flewey. Well this 0:07:23.560 --> 0:07:29.520 was not a wave. This was more of a we 0:07:29.520 --> 0:07:37.720 were attacked by a pack of bees. Oh my gosh, 0:07:38.680 --> 0:07:42.560 there was an infestation of yellow jacket bees. 0:07:43.560 --> 0:07:44.440 Did they sound like. 0:07:47.960 --> 0:07:48.440 Just like that? 0:07:49.080 --> 0:07:50.160 Yeah? 0:07:50.520 --> 0:07:53.080 Oh that sounds like something else. Does that sound yeah? 0:07:53.200 --> 0:07:55.200 Oh yeah, I think the first time you try to 0:07:55.200 --> 0:07:57.480 do it, your mic cutout like you were on NBC. 0:07:58.360 --> 0:08:02.200 Yeah, exactly. So there's an infestation of yellowjacket. So now 0:08:02.240 --> 0:08:05.400 we've moved at this point, we've moved tables twice. But 0:08:05.480 --> 0:08:08.080 these bees are hungry and they apparently liked what we 0:08:08.080 --> 0:08:10.760 were eating based on their movements. They were swarming around 0:08:10.760 --> 0:08:14.360 the table. So now we're like, well, we've already moved once, 0:08:14.440 --> 0:08:16.560 are we going to move a third time? Where else 0:08:16.600 --> 0:08:20.480 do we go? So we determined we must go indoors. 0:08:20.480 --> 0:08:22.280 So there was a little section of the restaurant that 0:08:22.320 --> 0:08:24.880 was indoors. Most of the seating was outdoors. So we 0:08:24.920 --> 0:08:27.600 then went inside the restaurant. We said, listen, we're gonna 0:08:27.600 --> 0:08:32.120 attacked by bees here. People. They're bees big, they look 0:08:32.280 --> 0:08:35.040 like the massive wasp. I mean, these things are here. 0:08:35.400 --> 0:08:40.199 And so we went inside the restaurant and we were 0:08:40.280 --> 0:08:41.840 able to finish the meal, but we had to sit 0:08:41.960 --> 0:08:43.840 the first time ever I had said three tables at 0:08:43.880 --> 0:08:46.400 a restaurant to try to get it out. I was 0:08:46.440 --> 0:08:48.440 convinced we weren't go inside. We're gonna be attacked by 0:08:48.520 --> 0:08:51.760 like termites or something I don't know, or locusts. And 0:08:51.800 --> 0:08:53.880 the bees were not just in the restaurant. Like all 0:08:53.920 --> 0:08:59.000 the trash cans on Catalina Island covered with bees. It's crazy. 0:08:59.160 --> 0:09:01.520 I guess this happened every ten years or something. There's 0:09:01.520 --> 0:09:05.840 some kind of biblical event where the bees just ascend 0:09:05.920 --> 0:09:08.920 on Catalina Island, and that happened to be the day 0:09:08.960 --> 0:09:11.280 we were there. So we finished the meal. Then my 0:09:11.360 --> 0:09:16.320 wife and the group, the five Pack, the wolf Pack, decided, Hey, 0:09:17.200 --> 0:09:19.360 let's go snorkling. Why else you know why we go 0:09:19.360 --> 0:09:25.360 to Catalina? Go to snork great snorkler. Now, Danny, I 0:09:25.400 --> 0:09:28.120 gotta tell you know. We just played musical chairs and 0:09:28.480 --> 0:09:31.360 I determined I made a tactical decision. I want to 0:09:31.360 --> 0:09:34.160 ask you if I made the right decision. So everyone's 0:09:34.200 --> 0:09:39.120 going snorkeling. Guess who the party pooper was, Yeah, that's right. 0:09:39.920 --> 0:09:43.120 I sat on the beach right near that beautiful casino 0:09:43.200 --> 0:09:46.280 in Catalina, that round building which is not an actual casino, 0:09:46.320 --> 0:09:49.200 it's a movie theater. You've got that, you got lover's 0:09:49.280 --> 0:09:53.400 cove on the other side. Amazing. Snorkeling just world class, 0:09:54.559 --> 0:09:57.559 and I love it. I've always loved snorkeling and Catalina. 0:09:57.760 --> 0:10:03.040 It's wonderful. But I sat up. Why did I sit out? 0:10:03.320 --> 0:10:10.000 I have dreadful hearing from working in radio, and I 0:10:10.000 --> 0:10:12.040 had bad hearing before I got into radio, So it's 0:10:12.080 --> 0:10:14.640 not like it's not like I started out with great 0:10:14.679 --> 0:10:19.360 hearing and then all of a sudden things went sideways. No, 0:10:19.600 --> 0:10:27.120 I have hearing that is just hor horrific, right, and 0:10:27.200 --> 0:10:30.280 so I have to be very mindful of that. And 0:10:30.760 --> 0:10:32.800 when I you know, I haven't been. I'm unable to 0:10:32.800 --> 0:10:38.480 find too many elixirs, the magic potions that will well. 0:10:38.559 --> 0:10:38.800 Yeah. 0:10:38.840 --> 0:10:40.840 So one of the problems I've had over the years 0:10:40.920 --> 0:10:42.880 is when I go into a swimming pool or the 0:10:42.880 --> 0:10:47.520 ocean and I swim, if I end up getting any 0:10:47.679 --> 0:10:52.080 water in my ear, I then have a major problem. 0:10:52.240 --> 0:10:57.080 I get this thing called swimmer's ear and my ability 0:10:57.120 --> 0:11:02.000 to hear. My auditory perception of sound goes way down, 0:11:02.120 --> 0:11:07.600 which becomes quite a problem here, And in my left 0:11:07.679 --> 0:11:11.680 ear I become almost hearing and paired, which is a problem. 0:11:11.760 --> 0:11:13.079 So I said, you know what, this is a big 0:11:13.080 --> 0:11:17.640 week for me. I got this dopey TV show. This 0:11:17.679 --> 0:11:20.440 is something I never thought would happen. It's happened. So 0:11:20.600 --> 0:11:22.720 now it's like, I do I really want to go 0:11:22.760 --> 0:11:26.160 snorkeling for like forty minutes and then have to deal 0:11:26.240 --> 0:11:28.760 for the next month because it takes about a month 0:11:28.800 --> 0:11:30.959 for my year to snap back. So I really want 0:11:31.000 --> 0:11:32.400 to deal with this, and I was like, nah no, 0:11:32.960 --> 0:11:36.480 So I sat. I think that was the right call. 0:11:36.520 --> 0:11:39.640 Though I don't know. He's like, yeah, maybe it might 0:11:39.640 --> 0:11:41.240 have been all right, Maybe I would have been okay, 0:11:41.320 --> 0:11:43.320 but I didn't want to chance it. 0:11:44.280 --> 0:11:46.720 So, you know, I have the same sort of ear 0:11:46.840 --> 0:11:51.040 canal issues. My left ear does the same thing. So 0:11:51.280 --> 0:11:54.479 the last time my wife and I were in Hawaii, 0:11:55.040 --> 0:11:58.040 and if we're there, she has to go snorkling. 0:11:58.120 --> 0:11:59.360 I get it. 0:11:59.000 --> 0:12:02.120 It's the favorite thing for a lot of people when 0:12:02.120 --> 0:12:04.920 they're in beautiful waters. So what we did is we 0:12:05.000 --> 0:12:09.959 got the air putty. There is special air plugs for 0:12:10.040 --> 0:12:12.600 the water. I think that's what you've got to try 0:12:12.679 --> 0:12:13.120 next time. 0:12:13.360 --> 0:12:17.640 Well, I've tried some, and I guess my ear drum 0:12:17.760 --> 0:12:23.400 is shaped, my ear canal is shaped weirdly. But is 0:12:23.440 --> 0:12:27.640 it over the counter? You can get ear plugs custom made. 0:12:27.920 --> 0:12:28.360 Yeah. 0:12:28.480 --> 0:12:30.120 I don't know how much of those things cost. 0:12:30.160 --> 0:12:32.760 Maybe I should do that. That would be a good investment. 0:12:33.800 --> 0:12:37.080 Yeah, the ear the ear puddies do just get that 0:12:37.200 --> 0:12:39.560 at the Walgreens or CBS or something that. 0:12:39.640 --> 0:12:42.280 Yeah, exactly, and you know it was. It was kind 0:12:42.360 --> 0:12:45.360 of uncomfortable while I was in the water, but I 0:12:45.480 --> 0:12:48.040 was grateful that when we got back on the boat 0:12:48.080 --> 0:12:50.680 and we were done that day, I took them out 0:12:51.040 --> 0:12:54.160 and had no swimmers there, no issues. 0:12:54.600 --> 0:12:58.480 Okay, well that's good. Yeah. I've tried different ear plug 0:12:58.520 --> 0:13:02.280 things and so some of them have worked, okay, but usually, 0:13:02.800 --> 0:13:04.720 like even if a little water gets in my ear, 0:13:04.720 --> 0:13:06.760 I'm screwed. So it's like it has to be one 0:13:06.840 --> 0:13:09.400 hundred percent or it's either one hundred percent or nothing. 0:13:10.480 --> 0:13:13.680 You know, there's no middle ground and all that. And 0:13:13.679 --> 0:13:15.880 then if I had had water in my ear, I 0:13:15.920 --> 0:13:17.400 would have not only not been able to do the 0:13:17.400 --> 0:13:20.319 TV show well, but I would have I guess you 0:13:20.320 --> 0:13:22.720 could say I would have done a radio walk off, Dandy. 0:13:22.840 --> 0:13:24.559 I would have just walked off and that would have 0:13:24.600 --> 0:13:24.800 been that. 0:13:25.800 --> 0:13:28.640 You know, After Covino and Rich, I do post production, 0:13:29.440 --> 0:13:33.719 like find promos for them and get the podcast up 0:13:33.800 --> 0:13:37.040 and make their best of and take little drops out 0:13:37.080 --> 0:13:40.800 of the show, little funny moments, whatever the case might be. 0:13:41.280 --> 0:13:43.520 Takes me a couple of hours to get all that done. 0:13:43.679 --> 0:13:46.960 So while I'm in the production studio doing all that 0:13:47.080 --> 0:13:50.800 after the show live in the studio is the odd 0:13:50.880 --> 0:13:54.760 couple Chris Broussard. He's on the East Coast, but in 0:13:54.800 --> 0:13:58.080 the studio, the actual brand new, state of the art 0:13:58.120 --> 0:13:59.839 FSR Studios is on. 0:14:00.679 --> 0:14:06.400 Rob Parker, Rob Parker, Rob Parker, out of the Parker. 0:14:07.679 --> 0:14:08.520 Speaking of TV. 0:14:08.720 --> 0:14:11.640 He's got a new TV gig that's gonna be happening 0:14:11.679 --> 0:14:13.000 after Sunday Night Football. 0:14:13.679 --> 0:14:15.760 I saw that he's gonna be on Channel four in 0:14:16.040 --> 0:14:19.280 l A. And they actually film that right near this, 0:14:19.440 --> 0:14:21.720 like the next building over from where my show is 0:14:21.720 --> 0:14:23.720 filmed at Universal. So that's kind of cool. 0:14:24.000 --> 0:14:26.200 It is cool he and Jonas are going to be 0:14:26.240 --> 0:14:30.680 on that show. Yeah, props to them. So, you know, 0:14:30.800 --> 0:14:33.640 I get to hear some funny things coming out of 0:14:33.640 --> 0:14:39.360 that studio because let's just say, Rob's voice penetrates studio 0:14:39.480 --> 0:14:40.560 walls and doors. 0:14:41.880 --> 0:14:44.280 Rob, and he's you know, he does not stop when 0:14:44.960 --> 0:14:49.320 we're playing commercials. He's still going oh yeah yeah. 0:14:49.360 --> 0:14:53.920 So even with my production studio door shut, I'll still 0:14:53.960 --> 0:14:58.040 hear him, especially in the hallway yelling down to the 0:14:58.160 --> 0:15:02.360 editors Peecocky about a pick that he had or something 0:15:02.360 --> 0:15:05.680 that was going on in a baseball game, you know, 0:15:05.760 --> 0:15:07.760 so it's kind of normal for me to hear him, 0:15:08.240 --> 0:15:12.440 but on Tuesday it was extra special. I call it 0:15:12.480 --> 0:15:16.080 a radio walk off because I happened to have my 0:15:16.200 --> 0:15:21.400 production studio door cracked open, and then I saw the 0:15:21.480 --> 0:15:26.280 reflection at his studio off the old studio door, and 0:15:26.360 --> 0:15:28.480 I'm glad I didn't have the door shut all the way, Ben, 0:15:28.520 --> 0:15:31.800 because I got to experience what I guess is the 0:15:31.840 --> 0:15:35.080 equivalent in our business to a crazy bat flip. 0:15:35.800 --> 0:15:36.560 Their argument. 0:15:36.600 --> 0:15:40.400 Their big debate on the air between Parker and Brusard 0:15:41.160 --> 0:15:45.320 was what is this game, this Thursday night game mean 0:15:45.400 --> 0:15:50.200 to the Detroit Lions with you know, Kelsey out and 0:15:50.720 --> 0:15:56.000 no Chris Jones. Rob Parker's take was if the Lions 0:15:56.080 --> 0:15:58.880 lose this game, they suck. 0:15:59.040 --> 0:16:00.640 They they just. 0:16:00.640 --> 0:16:02.880 Are the worst thing on the planet. There is no 0:16:03.040 --> 0:16:07.880 excuse for them to lose this game. And Chris Broussard 0:16:07.960 --> 0:16:10.880 had the other side of it, saying, you know, I'll 0:16:10.920 --> 0:16:14.200 respect them as long as they keep it close against 0:16:14.200 --> 0:16:18.280 the world champs, and Parker was screaming, how could you 0:16:18.360 --> 0:16:22.600 even have that take? Just admit it. The Lions are 0:16:22.720 --> 0:16:26.640 perennial losers. If they don't turn things around right now 0:16:26.960 --> 0:16:31.000 on Thursday night, this is their big chance. He was 0:16:31.200 --> 0:16:34.240 screaming at the top of his lungs. This is one 0:16:34.280 --> 0:16:37.640 of the loudest times I've ever heard Rob Parker on 0:16:37.720 --> 0:16:43.400 the air. So the segment is over. I heard a 0:16:43.400 --> 0:16:46.240 lot of the screaming and shouting. You know, as you know, 0:16:46.360 --> 0:16:51.520 there's hallway speakers, so I heard the speakers distorting with 0:16:51.600 --> 0:16:56.360 their argument on the air, and then a door flings 0:16:56.400 --> 0:17:01.560 open Rob Parker. I see the reflection of him walking 0:17:01.640 --> 0:17:04.239 out of the on air studio. This was like a 0:17:04.280 --> 0:17:07.880 bat flip Big Ben. He sees Shaye and some other 0:17:08.000 --> 0:17:11.679 editors down the hallway and he screams to them. 0:17:12.000 --> 0:17:15.359 Did you just hear me shouting on the air? That's 0:17:15.400 --> 0:17:19.000 how it's done. That's sports talk radio right there. 0:17:23.000 --> 0:17:29.520 And it was talk about peacocking. It was awesome to see, though, 0:17:29.560 --> 0:17:33.080 And at that moment I stopped and I thought to myself, Man, 0:17:33.119 --> 0:17:35.440 it's moments like this where I really got to take 0:17:35.480 --> 0:17:38.560 it in and appreciate where I'm at and what I'm 0:17:38.600 --> 0:17:39.480 doing right now. 0:17:40.280 --> 0:17:43.120 Yeah, that's outstanding. I love I love working with Rob. 0:17:43.160 --> 0:17:44.960 When I've worked with him over the years, he's great. 0:17:45.040 --> 0:17:48.000 Did he do a pirouette? Did he just I. 0:17:47.960 --> 0:17:50.960 Mean it looked like he was about to round first 0:17:51.000 --> 0:17:51.959 and second base. 0:17:52.720 --> 0:17:53.400 That's awesome. 0:17:54.880 --> 0:17:57.520 And I feel feel bad for Rob because he has 0:17:57.600 --> 0:18:01.400 such disdain for the Detroit Lineons. There's such a hatred 0:18:01.920 --> 0:18:05.679 from his time with Detroit that he is convinced the 0:18:05.760 --> 0:18:08.600 Lions are going to be terrible and he is unwilling 0:18:08.800 --> 0:18:13.240 to change his position on the Lions. And if you 0:18:13.440 --> 0:18:18.320 look at the Detroit Lions schedule, they are set up 0:18:18.520 --> 0:18:21.800 based on the point spread games that you should win. 0:18:22.800 --> 0:18:26.840 The Lions have a pretty good opportunity. Now, usually you 0:18:26.960 --> 0:18:29.719 lose a game you're not supposed to lose, but if 0:18:29.720 --> 0:18:32.240 you just do what you're supposed to do, the Lions 0:18:32.240 --> 0:18:36.119 should get off to a six and zero start. And 0:18:36.160 --> 0:18:39.560 then if they play the Baltimore Ravens in Week seven, 0:18:40.240 --> 0:18:42.000 Ravens are pretty good team, so that's the game you 0:18:42.000 --> 0:18:44.440 can lose. But they're going to be favored over Seattle 0:18:44.560 --> 0:18:50.680 at home, Atlanta at home at Green Bay. I would 0:18:50.720 --> 0:18:53.320 be surprised if the Lions aren't favored there. Carolina is 0:18:53.320 --> 0:18:55.720 a bad team, the Bucks are a bad team. There's 0:18:55.760 --> 0:18:59.399 a lot of cupcase for the Lions to play early 0:18:59.440 --> 0:19:01.080 in the season, so you get off to a six 0:19:01.119 --> 0:19:04.280 and oh start seven and oh eight and oh I 0:19:04.320 --> 0:19:07.520 mean or your mate, your set. So they got a 0:19:07.560 --> 0:19:10.840 really favorable schedule. They do have to play the Cowboys, 0:19:10.880 --> 0:19:13.720 who are a good regular season team, and they play 0:19:13.800 --> 0:19:19.159 the Chargers and the Ravens outside and the Raiders. So 0:19:19.960 --> 0:19:23.399 we'll see what happens. But yeah, Rob Man, he he 0:19:23.480 --> 0:19:26.359 has no compassion for the Lion fan. 0:19:26.560 --> 0:19:27.640 He is just. 0:19:29.280 --> 0:19:33.520 I'm not impressed. I'm not anybody could have beaten the Chiefs, 0:19:33.560 --> 0:19:34.880 you know, that. 0:19:35.520 --> 0:19:36.920 Did what they should have done. 0:19:37.000 --> 0:19:41.119 Chris Tony game the game, that guy Tony there is 0:19:41.200 --> 0:19:47.200 Tony all right, So we have back scratcher, backscratcher. 0:19:47.320 --> 0:19:50.240 Now what is backscratcher? You scratch our back. We scratch 0:19:50.320 --> 0:19:53.119 her as it is our weekly tip of the on 0:19:53.480 --> 0:19:57.840 air light to the listener. You the loyal p one 0:19:58.040 --> 0:20:02.879 minion in the malor militia. And I want to point out, Danny, 0:20:03.080 --> 0:20:06.920 these are actual reviews. Like we don't make them up, 0:20:07.000 --> 0:20:08.840 We don't write them ourselves. These are just people that 0:20:08.880 --> 0:20:10.560 are fans. And if we don't have any reviews, we 0:20:10.560 --> 0:20:14.360 don't read the reviews. So Danny, do you think this week. 0:20:15.040 --> 0:20:18.480 We almost were completely shut out in the month of August. 0:20:18.560 --> 0:20:22.080 We had the last couple of days of August we 0:20:22.160 --> 0:20:25.880 avoided the shutout.

We were in Chicago, driving around Chicago 0:22:16.880 --> 0:22:19.800 and we came across Lake Michigan and my wist said, well, 0:22:19.800 --> 0:22:21.399 that's like an ocean. I said, well, no, it's not 0:22:21.400 --> 0:22:24.240 an ocean. It's a lake. And it's so big though, 0:22:24.240 --> 0:22:25.760 it's like you might as well be an ocean, right, 0:22:25.840 --> 0:22:31.679 And it's like mass thinks, all those great lakes Lake Superior.

No, on all, 0:22:54.040 --> 0:22:54.680 we were late. 0:22:55.000 --> 0:22:58.240 I don't think our birthdays qualify as boomer anyways. 0:22:58.160 --> 0:23:00.280 We're definitely not boomers, but we were late to the 0:23:00.400 --> 0:23:05.639 cool young generation.
