Speaker 1: Kubbooms.
Speaker 2: If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes
Speaker 2: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants
Speaker 2: of the old Republic, a sol fashion of fairness. He
Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the
Speaker 2: rich pill poppers in the penthouse.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 2: It's a clearinghouse of hot takes. Break free for something special.
Speaker 2: The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now.
Speaker 1: In the air. Ever ringwere the Fifth Hour with Me,
Speaker 1: Big Ben and Danny g Radio. And a happy Saturday
Speaker 1: to you as we are hanging out with you here
Speaker 1: after two NFL games have been played, and we've got
Speaker 1: a full slate of NFL activity tomorrow. Yet college football
Speaker 1: today here on the seventh day of September. Danny and
Speaker 1: I actually did enjoy college football last weekend. We don't
Speaker 1: talk about it on the Overnight show very much because
Speaker 1: it's all about the NFL, but I did. I'd find
Speaker 1: myself fully immersed last Saturday and Sunday and even Monday
Speaker 1: with college football. I enjoyed it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've actually watched two college football games to match
Speaker 3: the two NFL games I now have under my belt.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I watched last weekend, Clemson, Georgia saw the second
Speaker 1: half annihilation of the once proud Clemson Tigers. Sunday Night
Speaker 1: sc and LSU in Vegas.
Speaker 3: I saw that one.
Speaker 1: Vegas Baby, and then on Monday they had the standalone
Speaker 1: game on Monday night the holiday that was Boston College
Speaker 1: taking down the once proud seminals of Florida State. So
Speaker 1: those were the three games, and there were a few others.
Speaker 1: I flipped around. Of course, you should not watch those
Speaker 1: games on illegal streams. You should not do that. So
Speaker 1: I don't know how I watched them, but I watched
Speaker 1: them somehow and did enjoy the college experience. Did not
Speaker 1: bet on any of those games. People have emailed me.
Speaker 1: So you only watch games you bet on, you're not
Speaker 1: really a sports fan. I didn't bet on any of
Speaker 1: those games, and I tuned in, I was watching, I
Speaker 1: was enjoying myself, had a good time and obviously excited
Speaker 1: about the NFL. What a finish we had that game
Speaker 1: back on Thursday with the We talked about it yesterday
Speaker 1: on the podcast The Chiefs. I know, as a Raider fan,
Speaker 1: you were pulling for the Ravens to have both feet
Speaker 1: inbounds there. Lively the tight end and they get would
Speaker 1: help the Raiders out, but did not happen, and it
Speaker 1: was great. It was a great start. You always want
Speaker 1: to win that first bet of the weekend. And even
Speaker 1: though we don't on Benny Versus the Penny, we don't
Speaker 1: pick the Thursday game. Just not something that we do
Speaker 1: because the show airs on Friday and Saturday, so what's
Speaker 1: the point of doing the Thursday game. We do pick
Speaker 1: it off the air for record keeping purposes. And I
Speaker 1: had the Chiefs. If the Ravens had scored the touchdown,
Speaker 1: they were going to go for two. I would have
Speaker 1: lost either way. I had the Chiefs minus three, and
Speaker 1: if the Ravens score the touchdown, they're down by a point.
Speaker 1: Our ball is going to go for two. So if
Speaker 1: they don't get the two point conversion, I lose the
Speaker 1: bet and the Ravens cover. And if they get the
Speaker 1: two point conversion they win the game out right, I
Speaker 1: lose that way. So I would have lost either way.
Speaker 1: So I won my first bet of the twenty twenty
Speaker 1: four NFL season because of a toe day. It was
Speaker 1: a toe job and twinkle toes there for the Ravens,
Speaker 1: so I was happy about that. On this podcast, though
Speaker 1: we have all dressed up for no reason. Do it yourself,
Speaker 1: the beach parlay all day, get some international flavor. We
Speaker 1: have some other things to take care of as well,
Speaker 1: included in the idiom of the week. But let's start
Speaker 1: with this. Over the years I've done this podcast with
Speaker 1: the gag On and Danny g How many years have
Speaker 1: been on the podcast now? A couple of years, right,
Speaker 1: you've been with me a couple of.
Speaker 3: Years now, been three years now, it's been three years. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it'll be three It'll be three years this Christmas.
Speaker 1: Oh man, that's why. So I probably know this podcast
Speaker 1: like five years now, maybe longer.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 1: Wow, time is zooming by you.
Speaker 3: Old man.
Speaker 1: Over the course of the the evolution of the Fifth
Speaker 1: Hour podcast as your weekend audio buddy, your little companion
Speaker 1: while you're on the treadmill or doing the honeydew List
Speaker 1: or whatever you might be doing on the weekends, and
Speaker 1: Saturday is a big honeydew thing, honeyde list, And we
Speaker 1: at one point were almost completely our playbook was let's
Speaker 1: get people on the podcast and let's just interview people
Speaker 1: and we'll go that direction. So we did that for
Speaker 1: a long time, and that was fine. That was great,
Speaker 1: and it became a bit of a hassle. Became a
Speaker 1: bit of a hassle. Then we determined that it didn't
Speaker 1: really help the downloads most of the time. It didn't
Speaker 1: improve the situation at all. And so we've evolved to
Speaker 1: what we do now. We're you know, Friday. We just
Speaker 1: tell stories and we do different bits. We get scientifical,
Speaker 1: or we'll do a foodie segment, things like that. Yesterday
Speaker 1: it wasn't a foodie segment. But on the Friday podcast,
Speaker 1: I stumbled on and I'd heard this years ago and
Speaker 1: I'd forgotten about it. The birthplace of the cheeseburger, which
Speaker 1: was in Pasadena. The cheeseburger came from Pasadena. It's one
Speaker 1: hundredth anniversary of the cheeseburger on a menu and it
Speaker 1: was in nineteen twenty four at a diner in Pasadena
Speaker 1: on Colorado Boulevard, which back then was called Root sixty six.
Speaker 1: So it's like stuff like that, like just like interesting
Speaker 1: random stuff. But this past week I got an email
Speaker 1: from a publicist, and the publicist these people email me
Speaker 1: on a semi regular basis and they're like, hey, we
Speaker 1: know you have a platform. We'd like you to interview
Speaker 1: ABC or one, two, three, And then I said, I
Speaker 1: don't know about that. And then they say, well what about X,
Speaker 1: Y and Z. And so we go back and forth,
Speaker 1: and most of the time the people that they pitch
Speaker 1: in their little elevator pitch, I wouldn't even want my
Speaker 1: enemy to talk to. You know, these are these are
Speaker 1: not exciting people.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not like that lady who was an expert
Speaker 3: on the hiccups.
Speaker 1: Yeah, now that was big. That was it. So I
Speaker 1: finally saw a name that I recognized. There was someone
Speaker 1: that I've often quoted on the radio show who's like
Speaker 1: a Hall of Famer in the NFL. Okay, fine, all right,
Speaker 1: I'll take the bait.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 1: And it's the guys. He pitches this stuff to me
Speaker 1: every week. He wants me to interview and promote this
Speaker 1: book this guy wrote. And I'm like, all right, I'll
Speaker 1: do it. So we go back and forth. This is
Speaker 1: before the holiday weekend. We're going over dates. He's like, well,
Speaker 1: the guy's available, there's a certain windows he's.
Speaker 3: Going to do interviews.
Speaker 1: And he gives me all these dates. Right, I said, fine,
Speaker 1: I said, you know, I do the overnight show. So
Speaker 1: the guy's on the East Coast. He's still working for
Speaker 1: an NFL team, and so I was like, all right, well,
Speaker 1: here's my window. I can do it that day at
Speaker 1: that time. And it's a big hassle, but I'll do it.
Speaker 1: You know, let's let's have some fun. He says, no problem,
Speaker 1: So we forget I forget about it. I put it
Speaker 1: on my little counter thing on my phone and that's it.
Speaker 1: And then it's game time. It's the day of the interview.
Speaker 1: And I changed my entire schedule. I a very regimented
Speaker 1: schedule these days because of the TV show and the
Speaker 1: different things, and every day is there's a lot of stuff.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of stuff going on every day.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, And that was another reason why it was
Speaker 3: hard to continually do interviews, because they had to fit
Speaker 3: into a certain specific window for you.
Speaker 1: Yes, and many of these interviews are with East Coast
Speaker 1: people who want to do them at a time where
Speaker 1: I am sleeping, Yes, the bulk of East Coast time.
Speaker 1: So whatever, fine, but I made sure to move my
Speaker 1: schedule around. I was like, okay, I agreed to do this.
Speaker 1: He pitched it. I agreed to it. I will follow
Speaker 1: the code of the West, when you say you're going
Speaker 1: to do something, you do it right. I'm a big
Speaker 1: believer in that. People say, well, keep bringing that up
Speaker 1: out a bit, but that's how I model my life.
Speaker 1: You can model your life however you want, but for me,
Speaker 1: that works, and so that's what I follow. The code
Speaker 1: of the West. You take pride in your work. You
Speaker 1: finish what you start, and when you say you're going
Speaker 1: to do something, you do it right. Your name and
Speaker 1: put your name on and all that stuff.
Speaker 3: And so you're just like a contractor in construction. Like
Speaker 3: the guy who's been working on our balcony. He said
Speaker 3: he was going to come here to replace some wheels
Speaker 3: on our screen door, and that was four weeks ago.
Speaker 1: Well, the problem you have there is the person that
Speaker 1: you're dealing with is on contractor time, which is a
Speaker 1: different time zone, and no one can figure out what
Speaker 1: exactly contractor time meets.
Speaker 3: Why are they the only job who gets away with that?
Speaker 1: Yeah, because nobody else wants to do it right. If
Speaker 1: you want to find a contractor, just go down to
Speaker 1: home depot at like, you know, one o'clock in the
Speaker 1: afternoon on a Wednesday, they'll all be hanging out.
Speaker 3: I'm a doctor.
Speaker 1: Make a long story even longer. Fine, I changed my
Speaker 1: schedule around. I go into the studio, I set everything up,
Speaker 1: I am ready to go. I have to prepare for
Speaker 1: the interview. So I have some chicken scratch that I
Speaker 1: wrote down that I want to ask about this, that
Speaker 1: and the other thing. I shouldn't want to ask about
Speaker 1: this quote that I use.
Speaker 3: All the time.
Speaker 1: And we're doing the interview on a zoom leak, but
Speaker 1: I have to record everything, you know, through the have
Speaker 1: to set up the mic and all that whatever. It
Speaker 1: doesn't take that long. But the main problem was I
Speaker 1: changed my sleep schedule and I didn't go to the
Speaker 1: gym and this all this other stuff. So I'm in
Speaker 1: there and send the link and the window. Two minutes
Speaker 1: before the window is supposed to start, I get an
Speaker 1: email and it's the PR person that pitched the interview.
Speaker 1: And now he didn't cancel. He didn't cancel. He said, hey,
Speaker 1: can we move the interview thirty five or forty minutes
Speaker 1: from now? And I was like, well, I really don't
Speaker 1: want to do it thirty five or forty minutes now.
Speaker 1: But I'm already here and I'm up, and okay, you know,
Speaker 1: why not I'll do it, I wrote back. I said, well,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't really want to do it, but
Speaker 1: I'm here, and I sure, why not. I'll accommodate the person,
Speaker 1: even though again I kept my end of the deal.
Speaker 1: I made an agreement. Your word is the most important thing,
Speaker 1: and so I shut up. So I'm sitting there twiddling
Speaker 1: my thumbs, right, and I don't even know how long
Speaker 1: it was, It was a bit of time. I get
Speaker 1: a second email from the publicist. What do you think
Speaker 1: this one? Was?
Speaker 3: Dan? What do you think this one? Can we push
Speaker 3: it back one more time?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: This was, Hey, my guys really tired today. He's not
Speaker 1: going to be able to do the interview with you.
Speaker 1: I apologize and then that's it. No rescheduled to another day,
Speaker 1: none of that. It's just f you, you blow, I
Speaker 1: don't value you. Go away is essentially what the email was. Wow,
Speaker 1: apology the end. And this is so No. I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna even say the person's name because I don't want
Speaker 1: to give them the publicity of knowing who they are.
Speaker 1: But it's a person who is very tied to a
Speaker 1: Hall of fame quarter actually has worked with many Hall
Speaker 1: of fame quarterbacks and has a very famous quote which
Speaker 1: I have used on a semi regular basis. I'm sure
Speaker 1: Alf and some of these guys can figure out who
Speaker 1: it is. A person's worked in the NFL going back,
Speaker 1: I think to the seventies, so you know someone that's
Speaker 1: certainly tiy the But just I have no use for that.
Speaker 1: And I know this, This PR person is going to
Speaker 1: be emailing me again next week saying, Hey, I got
Speaker 1: Joe Blow who wants to talk about schmucks? Would you
Speaker 1: like to tell you? No, I'm good. And it's like
Speaker 1: I always say about these podcasts and radio shows, Danny,
Speaker 1: and like, the most important thing we have is our time.
Speaker 1: You can't get more of it, you can't buy it.
Speaker 1: You know it's gone. It's gone. You don't know how
Speaker 1: much you have and all that stuff. And when you
Speaker 1: take that almost valuable, come on wasting my time. And
Speaker 1: when you agree to do it, that's the thing, Like,
Speaker 1: don't agree to do it, fine, I don't. I can
Speaker 1: handle that. But if I futz around, I get up,
Speaker 1: I change my schedule, go in the studio, and then
Speaker 1: you don't have the courtesy to live up to your
Speaker 1: end of the bargain because you're tired.
Speaker 3: Now take the producer hat and put it on your
Speaker 3: head for a moment. Imagine setting this all up for
Speaker 3: a host and then having those issues with emails and
Speaker 3: cancelations and rescheduling and pissing off the host, because I've
Speaker 3: had to deal with that in the past, and that's
Speaker 3: a big pain in the ass.
Speaker 1: Hey, I pissed myself off, Danny.
Speaker 3: I bet you did.
Speaker 1: Like, why do I agree to that? You know? I
Speaker 1: was like, what the hell? We have a good rhythm
Speaker 1: here with the podcast. The downloads are great, people love it. Right,
Speaker 1: We'll see how this goes during football season. The mail
Speaker 1: bag tomorrow is obviously going to be important to make
Speaker 1: sure the numbers are up on the mail bag. But
Speaker 1: the whole thing just left a bad taste mouth and
Speaker 1: I was just annoyed. It was like, and I don't
Speaker 1: need to I don't need this. I'm helping you out.
Speaker 1: You got some crappy book that I'm promoting, and this
Speaker 1: is what you do.
Speaker 3: And I don't even think, uh we should I say
Speaker 3: his name? I don't know. I don't think Brian Billick's
Speaker 3: book is going to be that great.
Speaker 1: Well, we finally at least got him on it. Took
Speaker 1: us two years, but he finally got him on. But yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that was that was another one. Well, we just had
Speaker 1: to get him on because we it was so annoying
Speaker 1: with him. It was so annoying, and uh, it's really
Speaker 1: one of those things. It's you know, it's a di
Speaker 1: I y right, it's do it yourself situation. You end
Speaker 1: up doing it yourself. It's just better to do the
Speaker 1: podcast yourself sometimes, right, a little do it yourself situation.
Speaker 3: Last weekend, I had to run to Target to get
Speaker 3: some baby formula. When big ass baby cod gets off
Speaker 3: the stupid goat milk formula, I am going to do
Speaker 3: some backflips, like I just scored in the end zone.
Speaker 3: Every time I go there, that canister is five dollars. Now,
Speaker 3: it's it's ridiculous.
Speaker 1: And how often do you have to go through these things?
Speaker 3: Every two weeks?
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, at least it lasts a little while,
Speaker 1: but that's not that long.
Speaker 3: And there's some weeks where he drinks more bottles maybe
Speaker 3: a week.
Speaker 1: What's magical about this that he has to drink it? Like,
Speaker 1: what's the magical?
Speaker 3: I think a lot of it's comfort, because when you're
Speaker 3: trying to wean a kid off the bottle, it's hard,
Speaker 3: you know, because that's that's like his go to for
Speaker 3: comfort when he's sitting in your arm on the on
Speaker 3: the recliner, and right before he takes a nap, he
Speaker 3: wants his baba daddy, and there's nutrients in it too.
Speaker 3: I mean, you're supposed to be given these things to
Speaker 3: the maybe up until they're one. He's one now, so
Speaker 3: we're trying to wean them off this, but I don't
Speaker 3: know when it's gonna.
Speaker 2: Be ah wow, wow wow.
Speaker 3: We always check the target website to make sure they
Speaker 3: have the formula that he uses. It said they had
Speaker 3: seven in stock. Okay, good. So I get there, shelf
Speaker 3: is empty. Nothing. I walk around this stupid store for
Speaker 3: ten minutes to find one employee and she begrudgingly helped me,
Speaker 3: gets on her walkie talkie and says, guests needs help
Speaker 3: in the baby formula aisle. Hurry back over to that
Speaker 3: aisle and I stand there for a good solid ten minutes.
Speaker 3: Not one employee shows up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, crickets, you're swidling your thumbs and you're waiting, And
Speaker 1: did you walk out or did you stay?
Speaker 3: I said, f this place. I walked out with two
Speaker 3: blazing middle fingers. So that was the start of a
Speaker 3: great week of customer surface unless it wasn't it is.
Speaker 3: Now fast forward to the opening of NFL season Thursday night,
Speaker 3: we do the Cavino and Rich Show. We have a
Speaker 3: great time talking a lot of football and having fun
Speaker 3: on the air. And then when the show's over, we
Speaker 3: got an hour before the game kicks off between the
Speaker 3: Ravens and the Chiefs. I I tell it on their
Speaker 3: podcast and walk outside to the scorching one hundred and
Speaker 3: sixteen degree heat across the street to the galleria and
Speaker 3: we go to Buffalo Wild Wings and of course there
Speaker 3: was that little bit of the weather delay and everything. Yeah,
Speaker 3: gave us time to put our order in though. Right,
Speaker 3: So we're sitting there and we're waiting. We're waiting, and
Speaker 3: we're looking. They're way understaffed at this Buffalo Wild Wings.
Speaker 3: There's probably three employees working.
Speaker 1: Wonderful.
Speaker 3: Finally, Rich Davis stops one of the girls, one of
Speaker 3: the three people working, and he said, hey, yeah, and
Speaker 3: he said, not to be rude, but we've been sitting
Speaker 3: here for a long time. What's the deal? Can we order?
Speaker 3: And she said, yeah, let me get the guy who's
Speaker 3: in charge of your section, and we're like, okay, so
Speaker 3: we're waiting. We're waiting. I'm like, man, what is this?
Speaker 3: Am I waiting for baby formula? Here? Finally the dude
Speaker 3: comes over Ben. Let's just say he doesn't seem like
Speaker 3: he's impressed with all the football fans there. He's got
Speaker 3: a pissy attitude. And he tells Rich, you know what
Speaker 3: you can order from right here, points to the center
Speaker 3: of the table and it's one of those stupid barcodes.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, they're very popular during the COVID time.
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, that'll be quicker, and he walks away rudely wonderful,
Speaker 3: all right. Rich takes his cell phone scans it, opens
Speaker 3: up the menu, pressed selecting the wings, but then he
Speaker 3: gets to the alcohol because he wants an alcoholic beverage,
Speaker 3: and it has him trying to piece meal together his
Speaker 3: moscow mule. He can't figure out how to make the
Speaker 3: drink the way he wants to, and he says, what
Speaker 3: the fuck? Am I a digital bartender? He gets up
Speaker 3: out of his chair and he goes and he finds
Speaker 3: the waiter. The guy finally comes back over to us.
Speaker 3: He takes out his pad in his pen, and he's pissed.
Speaker 3: He's pissed like he does not want to take our order,
Speaker 3: like he's doing some kind of huge favor.
Speaker 1: You're in the danger zone at this point, because this
Speaker 1: is going to lead to some kind of foreign objects
Speaker 1: in your meal.
Speaker 3: I'm at this point, we're not even thinking about that.
Speaker 3: We're thinking, man, we're going to have to find a
Speaker 3: new spot to come watch football after our radio show
Speaker 3: because that's.
Speaker 1: So convenient, man, I mean, and have that direct line
Speaker 1: to the football guys. Remember that commercial back in the day.
Speaker 3: That's right, Well, we used to the one option. The
Speaker 3: other option we used to have was right across the
Speaker 3: street from our studios. Yeah, public school, right, Yeah, and
Speaker 3: have you seen what happened to that place?
Speaker 1: I see the sign's still up, but they're not around.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: There's one other sign. It's a big one. It says
Speaker 3: four lease.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's nothing. I'm mean in Ventura Boulevard. There's a
Speaker 1: bunch of restaurants, but it's a pain in the ass
Speaker 1: because of parking in the traffic to go anywhere quickly.
Speaker 3: It took another half hour for the food to come out.
Speaker 3: So now the game is starting. The second quarter. We
Speaker 3: still don't have anything in front of us except water.
Speaker 1: You could hit the cheesecake factory, which is there, but
Speaker 1: that's not a really good bar setup.
Speaker 3: For Yeah, it's like a little it's like one of
Speaker 3: those old school little bar TVs.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they have good appetizers, but it's not to watch
Speaker 1: the game. You might as well just watch on your phone.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we left. We just got a couple quarters of wings.
Speaker 3: We still had great conversation and fun as a radio
Speaker 3: show hanging out there, but we bailed at halftime and
Speaker 3: had way better service in our own kitchens and back
Speaker 3: on our TV screens in the living room for what
Speaker 3: turned out to be a pretty exciting second half of
Speaker 3: that football game.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you know it was. The opener was great.
Speaker 3: Did COVID just officially slam the door on ever really
Speaker 3: truly getting good customer service ever? Again?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it certainly seems like it. And it's not like
Speaker 1: that you're paying more, certainly here in California, you're paying more,
Speaker 1: much more for food, and yet you're not even getting
Speaker 1: like the normal. And it's when you were telling me
Speaker 1: the Target story about the customer service there, I thought
Speaker 1: you were going to tell me, Hey, I got the product,
Speaker 1: and then I couldn't check out because there was a
Speaker 1: line fifty people deep at the checkout thing and the
Speaker 1: self checkout was closed. I've seen at Walmart, oh yeah,
Speaker 1: because everyone kept stealing all these animals kept stealing stuff
Speaker 1: from the stores at the self checkout, so they put
Speaker 1: the kebash on that they limit how much you can do,
Speaker 1: and then they don't hire enough people to work the
Speaker 1: checkout stand, so there's these massive lines and people end
Speaker 1: up leaving shopping carts full of stuff because they don't
Speaker 1: want to spend an hour forty five minutes in line
Speaker 1: waiting for someone to come over.
Speaker 3: You're exactly right. At our Target, there's always a huge
Speaker 3: line for the couple of open do it yourself kiosks,
Speaker 3: and then the couple of checkers that they do have working.
Speaker 3: Those people have huge filled carts waiting their turn to
Speaker 3: have a real human and help them, and that line
Speaker 3: is big. So as I walked out with my birds blazing,
Speaker 3: I noticed both lines were really long, so I definitely
Speaker 3: avoided that and I just I went to Whole Foods
Speaker 3: and got what I needed, you know, and Target can
Speaker 3: kiss my ass. Now, I don't think I'm gonna go
Speaker 3: back there for a while.
Speaker 1: Yeah, It's it's like we say in radio, it's hard
Speaker 1: to get people to listen, and then when you get them,
Speaker 1: you don't want to lose them, right, you want to
Speaker 1: keep the audience that you have. Well, if you're in
Speaker 1: a realtail store, it's like if your target, don't you,
Speaker 1: I know they're not trying to suck, But if somebody
Speaker 1: like you gets or I get turned off by the
Speaker 1: customer service, I'm not going to go back. I might
Speaker 1: never go back.
Speaker 2: God bless truly the paper boys, security guards and threat.
Speaker 1: Drivers pressing off. We had the Beach Daily double big
Speaker 1: heat wave, as you referenced here in this podcast, Danny,
Speaker 1: in southern California temperatures.
Speaker 3: Did you feel like you were staying in a furnace?
Speaker 1: It was brutal man I even doing the overnight show,
Speaker 1: I pulled up it was like ninety one degrees late
Speaker 1: at night in the Oaks in Sherman Oaks. It was nuts.
Speaker 1: And have been doing stuff during the day going around
Speaker 1: it's ridiculous. But so we had this big heat wave.
Speaker 1: It's still going on this weekend. It's not going to
Speaker 1: end till next week. So the other day my wife's like, hey,
Speaker 1: let's she was throwing a party, big party there, beach party.
Speaker 1: Not for me, not for me. She planned the whole
Speaker 1: thing out. She got up at nine am on the
Speaker 1: weekend something that is against my religion and there's no
Speaker 1: way I'm going to do that. So she goes out
Speaker 1: to the beach to set everything up. She had me
Speaker 1: work like Femi from Minnesota, the uber eat driver. She's like,
Speaker 1: all right, when you get up, I want you to
Speaker 1: get some food come down to the beach. And I'm like,
Speaker 1: all right, I could do that, you know why not?
Speaker 1: So I went to the Costco. I ordered some pies
Speaker 1: at costcar four pies, sot her and moved. Get the pies.
Speaker 1: I head to the beach. So I get down the
Speaker 1: beach and I'm not surprised by this because it's a
Speaker 1: heat wave. So I turn where I need to go
Speaker 1: to the beach and I didn't realize it at the time,
Speaker 1: but I was about to hit the beach daily double.
Speaker 1: The first part of it was gridlock, absolute gridlock, bumper
Speaker 1: to bumper to bumper, which is one of the reasons
Speaker 1: I don't go to the beach as much as I had.
Speaker 1: For a couple of years. I went to the beach
Speaker 1: a lot, but it's just I don't want to deal
Speaker 1: with im typical. Oh, I don't want to have anything
Speaker 1: to do with it.
Speaker 3: So I go down there.
Speaker 1: I'm like, well, I have the pies, I have to
Speaker 1: go there. So I had this gridlock. I get to
Speaker 1: the beach parking lot where I'm supposed to drop off,
Speaker 1: you know, drop off the pies and hang out and
Speaker 1: be social and all that. So the parking lot is jam,
Speaker 1: but not just jam. It's now closed. No new cars
Speaker 1: are allowed, can't park there. So this was the first
Speaker 1: leg of the situation. I got these pies, I got
Speaker 1: a you know, I'm not gonna eat four pizzas. I
Speaker 1: don't know. He's not even for me. I'm fasting. So
Speaker 1: there's a security beach security guy, not a cop, not
Speaker 1: not formal security. I don't even know what the guy's
Speaker 1: title was. But he's standing out there futsing around. And
Speaker 1: so there's a line of cars and everyone stopped. They
Speaker 1: won't let anyone in the parking lot. Now, this is
Speaker 1: on the top of a hill. The parking for the
Speaker 1: beach is down the hill, so they close the way
Speaker 1: to get down there. It's crazy. So finally I get
Speaker 1: up to the guy and window goes down. He's like, hey,
Speaker 1: I can't I can't let you in. I said, well,
Speaker 1: it's just a I got the pies. You know, why
Speaker 1: don't I just drop him off and then I'll leave
Speaker 1: Because there's no parking, there's a drop off spot. So
Speaker 1: he says, hold on a second, and then the second
Speaker 1: leg of the parlay, the dude rabs his rapid radio
Speaker 1: to communicate down to the parking lot down the hill
Speaker 1: to let them know that I was coming down there
Speaker 1: to drop off the pies to not allow me to park. Right.
Speaker 3: It really was a rapid radio.
Speaker 1: It was a rapid radio, and that's I smiled. I
Speaker 1: was like, I you know many times I've read that
Speaker 1: rapid radio commercial on the shoah for business owners exactly.
Speaker 1: And by the way, this is not a paid commercial.
Speaker 1: No one told me to say this. I just observed
Speaker 1: this out in the wild, you know. I was really
Speaker 1: cool to see. And that's a part right near the ocean.
Speaker 1: The cell reception is terrible, so it makes sense they
Speaker 1: would have rapid radios because I can't even use my
Speaker 1: phone at that beach. There's no cell reception for what
Speaker 1: they shut it off. I don't know what they do.
Speaker 1: So the security dude, he wouldn't let me park. But
Speaker 1: I went home and watched college football, cranked up the
Speaker 1: air conditioning and I had to find I watched them
Speaker 1: baseball and I was fine. I was like, I was
Speaker 1: all right. So that was my my beach parlay all
Speaker 1: day daily, you know, double whatever it was.
Speaker 3: But we'll have you were like an Uber eats driver.
Speaker 1: Yeah pretty much. Yeah, that was about it. I'm going
Speaker 1: to push back the international Man of Mystery and even
Speaker 1: the foody Well, I don't think we're doing footy fun
Speaker 1: this week. How about I'll do the Idium of the
Speaker 1: Week tomorrow? Does that makes sense? I think we're good
Speaker 1: for today. All right, So I'll go a little tell.
Speaker 1: I'll try to remember that international Amoan of Mystery. If
Speaker 1: I remember, great, If not, you'll can email me and
Speaker 1: say you moron, what's wrong with you? And I did
Speaker 1: have an Idiom of the week, and we've got the
Speaker 1: mail bag. Anything you want to promote Danny on a Saturday.
Speaker 3: No, this is a day of producing this fine podcast
Speaker 3: and then watching some college football.
Speaker 1: College football all day, Lolly and I will be watching
Speaker 1: Benny Versus the Penny.
Speaker 3: Oh, I watched it last week?

Speaker 1: Yeah I did. I smooched all over Gardner Mitshew, I
Speaker 1: did for sure. And your Raiders in town tomorrow.
Speaker 3: Yes, they're home away from home. According to vivid Seats,
Speaker 3: sixty four percent Raider fans.
Speaker 1: Okay, that is tomorrow. We'll have a mail bag and
