Speaker 1: Kubbooms.

2
00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:05,360
Speaker 2: If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes

3
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:09,119
Speaker 2: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants

4
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:12,440
Speaker 2: of the old Republic, a sol fashion of fairness. He

5
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the

6
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:17,439
Speaker 2: rich pill poppers in the penthouse.

7
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:18,360
Speaker 1: Wow.

8
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:22,240
Speaker 2: It's a clearinghouse of hot takes. Break free for something special.

9
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 2: The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now.

00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:41,520
Speaker 1: to you as we are hanging out with you here

13
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 1: after two NFL games have been played, and we've got

14
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 1: a full slate of NFL activity tomorrow. Yet college football

15
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 1: today here on the seventh day of September. Danny and

16
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 1: I actually did enjoy college football last weekend. We don't

17
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 1: talk about it on the Overnight show very much because

18
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 1: it's all about the NFL, but I did. I'd find

19
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 1: myself fully immersed last Saturday and Sunday and even Monday

20
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:08,480
Speaker 1: with college football. I enjoyed it.

21
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:13,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've actually watched two college football games to match

22
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 3: the two NFL games I now have under my belt.

23
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I watched last weekend, Clemson, Georgia saw the second

24
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 1: half annihilation of the once proud Clemson Tigers. Sunday Night

25
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 1: sc and LSU in Vegas.

26
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 3: I saw that one.

27
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: Vegas Baby, and then on Monday they had the standalone

28
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:41,320
Speaker 1: game on Monday night the holiday that was Boston College

29
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 1: taking down the once proud seminals of Florida State. So

30
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: those were the three games, and there were a few others.

31
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 1: I flipped around. Of course, you should not watch those

32
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: games on illegal streams. You should not do that. So

33
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 1: I don't know how I watched them, but I watched

34
00:01:55,680 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 1: them somehow and did enjoy the college experience. Did not

35
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 1: bet on any of those games. People have emailed me.

36
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 1: So you only watch games you bet on, you're not

37
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:10,679
Speaker 1: really a sports fan. I didn't bet on any of

38
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 1: those games, and I tuned in, I was watching, I

39
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 1: was enjoying myself, had a good time and obviously excited

40
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,399
Speaker 1: about the NFL. What a finish we had that game

41
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: back on Thursday with the We talked about it yesterday

42
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 1: on the podcast The Chiefs. I know, as a Raider fan,

43
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 1: you were pulling for the Ravens to have both feet

44
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 1: inbounds there. Lively the tight end and they get would

45
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 1: help the Raiders out, but did not happen, and it

46
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 1: was great. It was a great start. You always want

47
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 1: to win that first bet of the weekend. And even

48
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: though we don't on Benny Versus the Penny, we don't

49
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 1: pick the Thursday game. Just not something that we do

50
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 1: because the show airs on Friday and Saturday, so what's

51
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: the point of doing the Thursday game. We do pick

52
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 1: it off the air for record keeping purposes. And I

53
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 1: had the Chiefs. If the Ravens had scored the touchdown,

54
00:02:57,840 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: they were going to go for two. I would have

55
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 1: lost either way. I had the Chiefs minus three, and

56
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: if the Ravens score the touchdown, they're down by a point.

57
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:10,920
Speaker 1: Our ball is going to go for two. So if

58
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: they don't get the two point conversion, I lose the

59
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 1: bet and the Ravens cover. And if they get the

60
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: two point conversion they win the game out right, I

61
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 1: lose that way. So I would have lost either way.

62
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 1: So I won my first bet of the twenty twenty

63
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 1: four NFL season because of a toe day. It was

64
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,799
Speaker 1: a toe job and twinkle toes there for the Ravens,

65
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: so I was happy about that. On this podcast, though

66
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 1: we have all dressed up for no reason. Do it yourself,

67
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 1: the beach parlay all day, get some international flavor. We

68
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 1: have some other things to take care of as well,

69
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 1: included in the idiom of the week. But let's start

70
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: with this. Over the years I've done this podcast with

71
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: the gag On and Danny g How many years have

72
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: been on the podcast now? A couple of years, right,

73
00:03:58,720 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 1: you've been with me a couple of.

74
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 3: Years now, been three years now, it's been three years. Yeah,

75
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 3: it'll be three It'll be three years this Christmas.

76
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 1: Oh man, that's why. So I probably know this podcast

77
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 1: like five years now, maybe longer.

78
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 3: Wow.

79
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:17,040
Speaker 1: Wow, time is zooming by you.

80
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:17,839
Speaker 3: Old man.

81
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: Over the course of the the evolution of the Fifth

82
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: Hour podcast as your weekend audio buddy, your little companion

83
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: while you're on the treadmill or doing the honeydew List

84
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 1: or whatever you might be doing on the weekends, and

85
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:39,159
Speaker 1: Saturday is a big honeydew thing, honeyde list, And we

86
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 1: at one point were almost completely our playbook was let's

87
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 1: get people on the podcast and let's just interview people

88
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,599
Speaker 1: and we'll go that direction. So we did that for

89
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 1: a long time, and that was fine. That was great,

90
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:01,359
Speaker 1: and it became a bit of a hassle. Became a

91
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 1: bit of a hassle. Then we determined that it didn't

92
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,279
Speaker 1: really help the downloads most of the time. It didn't

93
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 1: improve the situation at all. And so we've evolved to

94
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 1: what we do now. We're you know, Friday. We just

95
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:19,280
Speaker 1: tell stories and we do different bits. We get scientifical,

96
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 1: or we'll do a foodie segment, things like that. Yesterday

97
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 1: it wasn't a foodie segment. But on the Friday podcast,

98
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 1: I stumbled on and I'd heard this years ago and

99
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:34,679
Speaker 1: I'd forgotten about it. The birthplace of the cheeseburger, which

100
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:39,479
Speaker 1: was in Pasadena. The cheeseburger came from Pasadena. It's one

101
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:43,359
Speaker 1: hundredth anniversary of the cheeseburger on a menu and it

102
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 1: was in nineteen twenty four at a diner in Pasadena

103
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 1: on Colorado Boulevard, which back then was called Root sixty six.

104
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,159
Speaker 1: So it's like stuff like that, like just like interesting

105
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:57,479
Speaker 1: random stuff. But this past week I got an email

106
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:03,479
Speaker 1: from a publicist, and the publicist these people email me

107
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 1: on a semi regular basis and they're like, hey, we

108
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 1: know you have a platform. We'd like you to interview

109
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 1: ABC or one, two, three, And then I said, I

110
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 1: don't know about that. And then they say, well what about X,

111
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 1: Y and Z. And so we go back and forth,

112
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 1: and most of the time the people that they pitch

113
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:25,039
Speaker 1: in their little elevator pitch, I wouldn't even want my

114
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 1: enemy to talk to. You know, these are these are

115
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 1: not exciting people.

116
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not like that lady who was an expert

117
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 3: on the hiccups.

118
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, now that was big. That was it. So I

119
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,280
Speaker 1: finally saw a name that I recognized. There was someone

120
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:43,039
Speaker 1: that I've often quoted on the radio show who's like

121
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 1: a Hall of Famer in the NFL. Okay, fine, all right,

122
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:48,839
Speaker 1: I'll take the bait.

123
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:49,039
Speaker 3: You know.

124
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:52,039
Speaker 1: And it's the guys. He pitches this stuff to me

125
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 1: every week. He wants me to interview and promote this

126
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,839
Speaker 1: book this guy wrote. And I'm like, all right, I'll

127
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 1: do it. So we go back and forth. This is

128
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 1: before the holiday weekend. We're going over dates. He's like, well,

129
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 1: the guy's available, there's a certain windows he's.

130
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 3: Going to do interviews.

131
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: And he gives me all these dates. Right, I said, fine,

132
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 1: I said, you know, I do the overnight show. So

133
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 1: the guy's on the East Coast. He's still working for

134
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 1: an NFL team, and so I was like, all right, well,

135
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 1: here's my window. I can do it that day at

136
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 1: that time. And it's a big hassle, but I'll do it.

137
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 1: You know, let's let's have some fun. He says, no problem,

138
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 1: So we forget I forget about it. I put it

139
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 1: on my little counter thing on my phone and that's it.

140
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 1: And then it's game time. It's the day of the interview.

141
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 1: And I changed my entire schedule. I a very regimented

142
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 1: schedule these days because of the TV show and the

143
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 1: different things, and every day is there's a lot of stuff.

144
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 1: There's a lot of stuff going on every day.

145
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, And that was another reason why it was

146
00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 3: hard to continually do interviews, because they had to fit

147
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 3: into a certain specific window for you.

148
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 1: Yes, and many of these interviews are with East Coast

149
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 1: people who want to do them at a time where

150
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 1: I am sleeping, Yes, the bulk of East Coast time.

151
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 1: So whatever, fine, but I made sure to move my

152
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 1: schedule around. I was like, okay, I agreed to do this.

153
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: He pitched it. I agreed to it. I will follow

154
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 1: the code of the West, when you say you're going

155
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 1: to do something, you do it right. I'm a big

156
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 1: believer in that. People say, well, keep bringing that up

157
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 1: out a bit, but that's how I model my life.

158
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 1: You can model your life however you want, but for me,

159
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 1: that works, and so that's what I follow. The code

160
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:42,679
Speaker 1: of the West. You take pride in your work. You

161
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 1: finish what you start, and when you say you're going

162
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 1: to do something, you do it right. Your name and

163
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:51,440
Speaker 1: put your name on and all that stuff.

164
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:55,320
Speaker 3: And so you're just like a contractor in construction. Like

165
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 3: the guy who's been working on our balcony. He said

166
00:08:57,920 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 3: he was going to come here to replace some wheels

167
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:02,960
Speaker 3: on our screen door, and that was four weeks ago.

168
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 1: Well, the problem you have there is the person that

169
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 1: you're dealing with is on contractor time, which is a

170
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:13,440
Speaker 1: different time zone, and no one can figure out what

171
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 1: exactly contractor time meets.

172
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 3: Why are they the only job who gets away with that?

173
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, because nobody else wants to do it right. If

174
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 1: you want to find a contractor, just go down to

175
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 1: home depot at like, you know, one o'clock in the

176
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 1: afternoon on a Wednesday, they'll all be hanging out.

177
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 3: I'm a doctor.

178
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:37,440
Speaker 1: Make a long story even longer. Fine, I changed my

179
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 1: schedule around. I go into the studio, I set everything up,

180
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 1: I am ready to go. I have to prepare for

181
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 1: the interview. So I have some chicken scratch that I

182
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 1: wrote down that I want to ask about this, that

183
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 1: and the other thing. I shouldn't want to ask about

184
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 1: this quote that I use.

185
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:53,560
Speaker 3: All the time.

186
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 1: And we're doing the interview on a zoom leak, but

187
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 1: I have to record everything, you know, through the have

188
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:03,679
Speaker 1: to set up the mic and all that whatever. It

189
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 1: doesn't take that long. But the main problem was I

190
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,200
Speaker 1: changed my sleep schedule and I didn't go to the

191
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 1: gym and this all this other stuff. So I'm in

192
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 1: there and send the link and the window. Two minutes

193
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 1: before the window is supposed to start, I get an

194
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:28,079
Speaker 1: email and it's the PR person that pitched the interview.

195
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:32,439
Speaker 1: And now he didn't cancel. He didn't cancel. He said, hey,

196
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,679
Speaker 1: can we move the interview thirty five or forty minutes

197
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:39,440
Speaker 1: from now? And I was like, well, I really don't

198
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 1: want to do it thirty five or forty minutes now.

199
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 1: But I'm already here and I'm up, and okay, you know,

200
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 1: why not I'll do it, I wrote back. I said, well,

201
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 1: you know, I don't really want to do it, but

202
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 1: I'm here, and I sure, why not. I'll accommodate the person,

203
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 1: even though again I kept my end of the deal.

204
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 1: I made an agreement. Your word is the most important thing,

205
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 1: and so I shut up. So I'm sitting there twiddling

206
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 1: my thumbs, right, and I don't even know how long

207
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 1: it was, It was a bit of time. I get

208
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 1: a second email from the publicist. What do you think

209
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 1: this one? Was?

210
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 3: Dan? What do you think this one? Can we push

211
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 3: it back one more time?

212
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 2: No?

213
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 1: This was, Hey, my guys really tired today. He's not

214
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 1: going to be able to do the interview with you.

215
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 1: I apologize and then that's it. No rescheduled to another day,

216
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 1: none of that. It's just f you, you blow, I

217
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 1: don't value you. Go away is essentially what the email was. Wow,

218
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 1: apology the end. And this is so No. I'm not

219
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 1: gonna even say the person's name because I don't want

220
00:11:56,559 --> 00:12:00,080
Speaker 1: to give them the publicity of knowing who they are.

221
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 1: But it's a person who is very tied to a

222
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 1: Hall of fame quarter actually has worked with many Hall

223
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 1: of fame quarterbacks and has a very famous quote which

224
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:16,440
Speaker 1: I have used on a semi regular basis. I'm sure

225
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:18,320
Speaker 1: Alf and some of these guys can figure out who

226
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 1: it is. A person's worked in the NFL going back,

227
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 1: I think to the seventies, so you know someone that's

228
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 1: certainly tiy the But just I have no use for that.

229
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 1: And I know this, This PR person is going to

230
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 1: be emailing me again next week saying, Hey, I got

231
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 1: Joe Blow who wants to talk about schmucks? Would you

232
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 1: like to tell you? No, I'm good. And it's like

233
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 1: I always say about these podcasts and radio shows, Danny,

234
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 1: and like, the most important thing we have is our time.

235
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 1: You can't get more of it, you can't buy it.

236
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 1: You know it's gone. It's gone. You don't know how

237
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 1: much you have and all that stuff. And when you

238
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 1: take that almost valuable, come on wasting my time. And

239
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 1: when you agree to do it, that's the thing, Like,

240
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,679
Speaker 1: don't agree to do it, fine, I don't. I can

241
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 1: handle that. But if I futz around, I get up,

242
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 1: I change my schedule, go in the studio, and then

243
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,080
Speaker 1: you don't have the courtesy to live up to your

244
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,559
Speaker 1: end of the bargain because you're tired.

245
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:22,200
Speaker 3: Now take the producer hat and put it on your

246
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 3: head for a moment. Imagine setting this all up for

247
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 3: a host and then having those issues with emails and

248
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:33,960
Speaker 3: cancelations and rescheduling and pissing off the host, because I've

249
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,680
Speaker 3: had to deal with that in the past, and that's

250
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 3: a big pain in the ass.

251
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 1: Hey, I pissed myself off, Danny.

252
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 3: I bet you did.

253
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:43,600
Speaker 1: Like, why do I agree to that? You know? I

254
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:47,200
Speaker 1: was like, what the hell? We have a good rhythm

255
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 1: here with the podcast. The downloads are great, people love it. Right,

256
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 1: We'll see how this goes during football season. The mail

257
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 1: bag tomorrow is obviously going to be important to make

258
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 1: sure the numbers are up on the mail bag. But

259
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:00,560
Speaker 1: the whole thing just left a bad taste mouth and

260
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,200
Speaker 1: I was just annoyed. It was like, and I don't

261
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 1: need to I don't need this. I'm helping you out.

262
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 1: You got some crappy book that I'm promoting, and this

263
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 1: is what you do.

264
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 3: And I don't even think, uh we should I say

265
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:16,679
Speaker 3: his name? I don't know. I don't think Brian Billick's

266
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:17,959
Speaker 3: book is going to be that great.

267
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 1: Well, we finally at least got him on it. Took

268
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 1: us two years, but he finally got him on. But yeah, yeah,

269
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 1: that was that was another one. Well, we just had

270
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 1: to get him on because we it was so annoying

271
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 1: with him. It was so annoying, and uh, it's really

272
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 1: one of those things. It's you know, it's a di

273
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 1: I y right, it's do it yourself situation. You end

274
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 1: up doing it yourself. It's just better to do the

275
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 1: podcast yourself sometimes, right, a little do it yourself situation.

276
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 3: Last weekend, I had to run to Target to get

277
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 3: some baby formula. When big ass baby cod gets off

278
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 3: the stupid goat milk formula, I am going to do

279
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 3: some backflips, like I just scored in the end zone.

280
00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 3: Every time I go there, that canister is five dollars. Now,

281
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:03,359
Speaker 3: it's it's ridiculous.

282
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 1: And how often do you have to go through these things?

283
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 3: Every two weeks?

284
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, at least it lasts a little while,

285
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 1: but that's not that long.

286
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 3: And there's some weeks where he drinks more bottles maybe

287
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 3: a week.

288
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 1: What's magical about this that he has to drink it? Like,

289
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 1: what's the magical?

290
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 3: I think a lot of it's comfort, because when you're

291
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 3: trying to wean a kid off the bottle, it's hard,

292
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 3: you know, because that's that's like his go to for

293
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 3: comfort when he's sitting in your arm on the on

294
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 3: the recliner, and right before he takes a nap, he

295
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 3: wants his baba daddy, and there's nutrients in it too.

296
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 3: I mean, you're supposed to be given these things to

297
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 3: the maybe up until they're one. He's one now, so

298
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 3: we're trying to wean them off this, but I don't

299
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 3: know when it's gonna.

300
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 2: Be ah wow, wow wow.

301
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 3: We always check the target website to make sure they

302
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 3: have the formula that he uses. It said they had

303
00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 3: seven in stock. Okay, good. So I get there, shelf

304
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 3: is empty. Nothing. I walk around this stupid store for

305
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 3: ten minutes to find one employee and she begrudgingly helped me,

306
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 3: gets on her walkie talkie and says, guests needs help

307
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 3: in the baby formula aisle. Hurry back over to that

308
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 3: aisle and I stand there for a good solid ten minutes.

309
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 3: Not one employee shows up.

310
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, crickets, you're swidling your thumbs and you're waiting, And

311
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 1: did you walk out or did you stay?

312
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 3: I said, f this place. I walked out with two

313
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 3: blazing middle fingers. So that was the start of a

314
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 3: great week of customer surface unless it wasn't it is.

315
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 3: Now fast forward to the opening of NFL season Thursday night,

316
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 3: we do the Cavino and Rich Show. We have a

317
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 3: great time talking a lot of football and having fun

318
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 3: on the air. And then when the show's over, we

319
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 3: got an hour before the game kicks off between the

320
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 3: Ravens and the Chiefs. I I tell it on their

321
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 3: podcast and walk outside to the scorching one hundred and

322
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 3: sixteen degree heat across the street to the galleria and

323
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 3: we go to Buffalo Wild Wings and of course there

324
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 3: was that little bit of the weather delay and everything. Yeah,

325
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 3: gave us time to put our order in though. Right,

326
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 3: So we're sitting there and we're waiting. We're waiting, and

327
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:27,919
Speaker 3: we're looking. They're way understaffed at this Buffalo Wild Wings.

328
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:30,359
Speaker 3: There's probably three employees working.

329
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 1: Wonderful.

330
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 3: Finally, Rich Davis stops one of the girls, one of

331
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 3: the three people working, and he said, hey, yeah, and

332
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:41,720
Speaker 3: he said, not to be rude, but we've been sitting

333
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:44,400
Speaker 3: here for a long time. What's the deal? Can we order?

334
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:48,120
Speaker 3: And she said, yeah, let me get the guy who's

335
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 3: in charge of your section, and we're like, okay, so

336
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 3: we're waiting. We're waiting. I'm like, man, what is this?

337
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 3: Am I waiting for baby formula? Here? Finally the dude

338
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 3: comes over Ben. Let's just say he doesn't seem like

339
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:04,359
Speaker 3: he's impressed with all the football fans there. He's got

340
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:08,360
Speaker 3: a pissy attitude. And he tells Rich, you know what

341
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 3: you can order from right here, points to the center

342
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 3: of the table and it's one of those stupid barcodes.

343
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, they're very popular during the COVID time.

344
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, that'll be quicker, and he walks away rudely wonderful,

345
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:29,119
Speaker 3: all right. Rich takes his cell phone scans it, opens

346
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 3: up the menu, pressed selecting the wings, but then he

347
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:35,679
Speaker 3: gets to the alcohol because he wants an alcoholic beverage,

348
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 3: and it has him trying to piece meal together his

349
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 3: moscow mule. He can't figure out how to make the

350
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 3: drink the way he wants to, and he says, what

351
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 3: the fuck? Am I a digital bartender? He gets up

352
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 3: out of his chair and he goes and he finds

353
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 3: the waiter. The guy finally comes back over to us.

354
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 3: He takes out his pad in his pen, and he's pissed.

355
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 3: He's pissed like he does not want to take our order,

356
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:03,439
Speaker 3: like he's doing some kind of huge favor.

357
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 1: You're in the danger zone at this point, because this

358
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 1: is going to lead to some kind of foreign objects

359
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 1: in your meal.

360
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 3: I'm at this point, we're not even thinking about that.

361
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 3: We're thinking, man, we're going to have to find a

362
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:19,399
Speaker 3: new spot to come watch football after our radio show

363
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:20,480
Speaker 3: because that's.

364
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:24,360
Speaker 1: So convenient, man, I mean, and have that direct line

365
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:27,160
Speaker 1: to the football guys. Remember that commercial back in the day.

366
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:29,879
Speaker 3: That's right, Well, we used to the one option. The

367
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,439
Speaker 3: other option we used to have was right across the

368
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:36,479
Speaker 3: street from our studios. Yeah, public school, right, Yeah, and

369
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:38,159
Speaker 3: have you seen what happened to that place?

370
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 1: I see the sign's still up, but they're not around.

371
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 2: Yeah.

372
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 3: There's one other sign. It's a big one. It says

373
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:44,680
Speaker 3: four lease.

374
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:48,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's nothing. I'm mean in Ventura Boulevard. There's a

375
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 1: bunch of restaurants, but it's a pain in the ass

376
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:53,920
Speaker 1: because of parking in the traffic to go anywhere quickly.

377
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:58,120
Speaker 3: It took another half hour for the food to come out.

378
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:01,879
Speaker 3: So now the game is starting. The second quarter. We

379
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 3: still don't have anything in front of us except water.

380
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:07,200
Speaker 1: You could hit the cheesecake factory, which is there, but

381
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 1: that's not a really good bar setup.

382
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 3: For Yeah, it's like a little it's like one of

383
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 3: those old school little bar TVs.

384
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, they have good appetizers, but it's not to watch

385
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 1: the game. You might as well just watch on your phone.

386
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:24,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, we left. We just got a couple quarters of wings.

387
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:28,439
Speaker 3: We still had great conversation and fun as a radio

388
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 3: show hanging out there, but we bailed at halftime and

389
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:35,880
Speaker 3: had way better service in our own kitchens and back

390
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:38,359
Speaker 3: on our TV screens in the living room for what

391
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:41,159
Speaker 3: turned out to be a pretty exciting second half of

392
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 3: that football game.

393
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you know it was. The opener was great.

394
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:51,359
Speaker 3: Did COVID just officially slam the door on ever really

395
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 3: truly getting good customer service ever? Again?

396
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, it certainly seems like it. And it's not like

397
00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,959
Speaker 1: that you're paying more, certainly here in California, you're paying more,

398
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:03,639
Speaker 1: much more for food, and yet you're not even getting

399
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 1: like the normal. And it's when you were telling me

400
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 1: the Target story about the customer service there, I thought

401
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 1: you were going to tell me, Hey, I got the product,

402
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:13,359
Speaker 1: and then I couldn't check out because there was a

403
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 1: line fifty people deep at the checkout thing and the

404
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 1: self checkout was closed. I've seen at Walmart, oh yeah,

405
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 1: because everyone kept stealing all these animals kept stealing stuff

406
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 1: from the stores at the self checkout, so they put

407
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 1: the kebash on that they limit how much you can do,

408
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 1: and then they don't hire enough people to work the

409
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 1: checkout stand, so there's these massive lines and people end

410
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 1: up leaving shopping carts full of stuff because they don't

411
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 1: want to spend an hour forty five minutes in line

412
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:42,440
Speaker 1: waiting for someone to come over.

413
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:46,119
Speaker 3: You're exactly right. At our Target, there's always a huge

414
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 3: line for the couple of open do it yourself kiosks,

415
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,919
Speaker 3: and then the couple of checkers that they do have working.

416
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:59,159
Speaker 3: Those people have huge filled carts waiting their turn to

417
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:01,919
Speaker 3: have a real human and help them, and that line

418
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 3: is big. So as I walked out with my birds blazing,

419
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:09,480
Speaker 3: I noticed both lines were really long, so I definitely

420
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:12,879
Speaker 3: avoided that and I just I went to Whole Foods

421
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:15,639
Speaker 3: and got what I needed, you know, and Target can

422
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:17,359
Speaker 3: kiss my ass. Now, I don't think I'm gonna go

423
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 3: back there for a while.

424
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, It's it's like we say in radio, it's hard

425
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,480
Speaker 1: to get people to listen, and then when you get them,

426
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:25,879
Speaker 1: you don't want to lose them, right, you want to

427
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 1: keep the audience that you have. Well, if you're in

428
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 1: a realtail store, it's like if your target, don't you,

429
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:34,920
Speaker 1: I know they're not trying to suck, But if somebody

430
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 1: like you gets or I get turned off by the

431
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:39,880
Speaker 1: customer service, I'm not going to go back. I might

432
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:40,680
Speaker 1: never go back.

433
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:46,919
Speaker 2: God bless truly the paper boys, security guards and threat.

434
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:51,920
Speaker 1: Drivers pressing off. We had the Beach Daily double big

435
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:55,920
Speaker 1: heat wave, as you referenced here in this podcast, Danny,

436
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:58,400
Speaker 1: in southern California temperatures.

437
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:00,880
Speaker 3: Did you feel like you were staying in a furnace?

438
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 1: It was brutal man I even doing the overnight show,

439
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 1: I pulled up it was like ninety one degrees late

440
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 1: at night in the Oaks in Sherman Oaks. It was nuts.

441
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:15,200
Speaker 1: And have been doing stuff during the day going around

442
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 1: it's ridiculous. But so we had this big heat wave.

443
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 1: It's still going on this weekend. It's not going to

444
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:22,360
Speaker 1: end till next week. So the other day my wife's like, hey,

445
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 1: let's she was throwing a party, big party there, beach party.

446
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 1: Not for me, not for me. She planned the whole

447
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 1: thing out. She got up at nine am on the

448
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:36,399
Speaker 1: weekend something that is against my religion and there's no

449
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:39,400
Speaker 1: way I'm going to do that. So she goes out

450
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 1: to the beach to set everything up. She had me

451
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 1: work like Femi from Minnesota, the uber eat driver. She's like,

452
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 1: all right, when you get up, I want you to

453
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:50,639
Speaker 1: get some food come down to the beach. And I'm like,

454
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:52,439
Speaker 1: all right, I could do that, you know why not?

455
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 1: So I went to the Costco. I ordered some pies

456
00:23:56,000 --> 00:24:00,919
Speaker 1: at costcar four pies, sot her and moved. Get the pies.

457
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 1: I head to the beach. So I get down the

458
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:05,439
Speaker 1: beach and I'm not surprised by this because it's a

459
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:09,199
Speaker 1: heat wave. So I turn where I need to go

460
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:12,920
Speaker 1: to the beach and I didn't realize it at the time,

461
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 1: but I was about to hit the beach daily double.

462
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 1: The first part of it was gridlock, absolute gridlock, bumper

463
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:22,200
Speaker 1: to bumper to bumper, which is one of the reasons

464
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 1: I don't go to the beach as much as I had.

465
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:25,160
Speaker 1: For a couple of years. I went to the beach

466
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:27,239
Speaker 1: a lot, but it's just I don't want to deal

467
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 1: with im typical. Oh, I don't want to have anything

468
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:31,199
Speaker 1: to do with it.

469
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:32,359
Speaker 3: So I go down there.

470
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 1: I'm like, well, I have the pies, I have to

471
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 1: go there. So I had this gridlock. I get to

472
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 1: the beach parking lot where I'm supposed to drop off,

473
00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 1: you know, drop off the pies and hang out and

474
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:46,959
Speaker 1: be social and all that. So the parking lot is jam,

475
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 1: but not just jam. It's now closed. No new cars

476
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:56,159
Speaker 1: are allowed, can't park there. So this was the first

477
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 1: leg of the situation. I got these pies, I got

478
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:01,879
Speaker 1: a you know, I'm not gonna eat four pizzas. I

479
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:05,719
Speaker 1: don't know. He's not even for me. I'm fasting. So

480
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 1: there's a security beach security guy, not a cop, not

481
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 1: not formal security. I don't even know what the guy's

482
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 1: title was. But he's standing out there futsing around. And

483
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:23,639
Speaker 1: so there's a line of cars and everyone stopped. They

484
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:26,879
Speaker 1: won't let anyone in the parking lot. Now, this is

485
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:30,119
Speaker 1: on the top of a hill. The parking for the

486
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 1: beach is down the hill, so they close the way

487
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:36,919
Speaker 1: to get down there. It's crazy. So finally I get

488
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:41,920
Speaker 1: up to the guy and window goes down. He's like, hey,

489
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:43,680
Speaker 1: I can't I can't let you in. I said, well,

490
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 1: it's just a I got the pies. You know, why

491
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 1: don't I just drop him off and then I'll leave

492
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 1: Because there's no parking, there's a drop off spot. So

493
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:56,399
Speaker 1: he says, hold on a second, and then the second

494
00:25:56,440 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 1: leg of the parlay, the dude rabs his rapid radio

495
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 1: to communicate down to the parking lot down the hill

496
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:07,920
Speaker 1: to let them know that I was coming down there

497
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 1: to drop off the pies to not allow me to park. Right.

498
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:14,200
Speaker 3: It really was a rapid radio.

499
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:19,159
Speaker 1: It was a rapid radio, and that's I smiled. I

500
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 1: was like, I you know many times I've read that

501
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:26,719
Speaker 1: rapid radio commercial on the shoah for business owners exactly.

502
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:29,920
Speaker 1: And by the way, this is not a paid commercial.

503
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 1: No one told me to say this. I just observed

504
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 1: this out in the wild, you know. I was really

505
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:39,240
Speaker 1: cool to see. And that's a part right near the ocean.

506
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 1: The cell reception is terrible, so it makes sense they

507
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 1: would have rapid radios because I can't even use my

508
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 1: phone at that beach. There's no cell reception for what

509
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:52,240
Speaker 1: they shut it off. I don't know what they do.

510
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:55,439
Speaker 1: So the security dude, he wouldn't let me park. But

511
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 1: I went home and watched college football, cranked up the

512
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:00,440
Speaker 1: air conditioning and I had to find I watched them

513
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 1: baseball and I was fine. I was like, I was

514
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:06,960
Speaker 1: all right. So that was my my beach parlay all

515
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:10,399
Speaker 1: day daily, you know, double whatever it was.

516
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 3: But we'll have you were like an Uber eats driver.

517
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 1: Yeah pretty much. Yeah, that was about it. I'm going

518
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:20,440
