13
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 3: both celebrating a big day to day, Danny, as we

14
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 3: like to look at goofy holidays. It's National Day of

15
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 3: Unplugging today, which I don't think we're unplugging by doing

16
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 3: this podcast, and anyone who is listening to this podcast

17
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:06,759
Speaker 3: is also not unplugging, so technically we're not celebrating National

18
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,319
Speaker 3: Day of Unplugging. But it is today, the first day

19
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 3: of March twenty twenty four, so you're supposed to unplug

20
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:15,680
Speaker 3: all of your devices.

21
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 4: And just oh, I thought it was getting the plunger

22
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:18,680
Speaker 4: and fixing your toilet.

23
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 3: Well, you can do that also if you want, if

24
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,399
Speaker 3: you want to eat a really hearty meal and just

25
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 3: clog up your toilet, you can do that.

26
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 1: But it is.

27
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 3: Technically a day to get off all those annoying devices

28
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 3: with you know, your iPhone or whatever, you know electric

29
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 3: device you're using when you're not.

30
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:42,759
Speaker 1: You don't have an iPhone, you have an Android, whatever

31
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 1: you might have.

32
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 3: So it's a global day of unplugging, which is not

33
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 3: is not honored at all. Dan, how many days a

34
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 3: year do you actually unplug from electronic devices?

35
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 5: Probably one week when you're on vacation and you try

36
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 5: your beat to do that. Yeah, you gotta have maybe

37
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 5: your phone on if you have kids, but other than that,

38
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 5: it's just that one week of vacation and you a

39
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 5: funny way to celebrate this, stay Ben, you should get

40
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,920
Speaker 5: on all your platforms on social media and every hour

41
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 5: tweet about how you're unplugging.

42
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 3: Yes, I am honoring National Day of Unplugging.

43
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 1: I just want you to know that I am not

44
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 1: on these devices.

45
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:27,920
Speaker 3: Even though it looks like I'm on these devices, I

46
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 3: am not on these devices at all. It just appears

47
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 3: that way. But that is actually not what's going on

48
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 3: at all.

49
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 5: So nice to unplug today dot dot dot and then

50
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 5: bring up a topic and keep tweeting about it.

51
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, exactly. I also saw.

52
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 3: And the only reason I bring this one up is

53
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 3: because there's a guy that calls the show randomly from

54
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,639
Speaker 3: Arkansas who has this as his nickname, although he's got

55
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 3: many nicknames. It is national dad Gum, That's good day. Yeah,

56
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 3: and I don't even know what that is, but national Happy,

57
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 3: National dad Gum, that's good day, which I guess means

58
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 3: good food, good company, good times and all that, but

59
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 3: it also means a random truck driver from Arkansas that

60
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 3: calls the show promised us little Debbie cakes on the

61
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 3: overnight show.

62
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:17,799
Speaker 1: And we're still waiting.

63
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 3: We're still waiting for those and used to be called

64
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 3: to scratch off and then you got hear a lot

65
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 3: of nicknames. Oh, by the way, I should also probably

66
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 3: mention before we get too far into this podcast. You

67
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 3: probably know by now if you're listening to the original

68
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 3: Recipe podcast, the Ben Mallor Show podcast, Not at My Watchtower,

69
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 3: Danny last night or this morning, depending how you look

70
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 3: at it, I was not there. You fired on assignment,

71
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 3: a secret assignment, I cannot say, but I was not

72
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 3: able to do the show, but somehow I'm able to

73
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 3: do the podcast. It's the magic of podcasting, Danny that

74
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 3: we're here.

75
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, because podcast it's us waking up at five am

76
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 5: for your live show.

77
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 4: You have to be awake at ten pm.

78
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 3: Yes, the never ending, never ending life of bloviation, full bloviation.

79
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 3: So I wanted to start here on the Friday Pod.

80
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 3: As we get into a new month and we'll have

81
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 3: regular season baseball, huh, We're gonna have Talking Bays ball.

82
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 3: These exhibition games, which are fine. I'm not against exhibition games,

83
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,159
Speaker 3: but I'm not you know. I'll tune in for like

84
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 3: a couple of innings, but I'm not really sitting there

85
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 3: and watching him. I used to watch Back in the

86
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 3: old days, I would watch every exhibition game, but as

87
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:40,160
Speaker 3: I've gotten more jaded and i've aged, I'll sample a

88
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 3: little bit, but I'm not watching anything past like the

89
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 3: third inning of these early exhibition games in Arizona and Florida,

90
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 3: I'm out.

91
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 5: I know it must have put a smile on your face, though.

92
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:57,840
Speaker 5: When Otani hit that bomb in his first Dodger preseason game, it.

93
00:04:57,800 --> 00:04:58,280
Speaker 1: Was pretty good.

94
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 3: Now he's only got to hit seven one hundred home

95
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:05,159
Speaker 3: runs and then one million dollars for each home run.

96
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: Is that how it works?

97
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 3: Is that the math on that is seven hundred and

98
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 3: then well he got seven hundred million. But it's all deferred, right,

99
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,479
Speaker 3: most of it's deferred. I'm not a numbers guy, but

100
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:18,239
Speaker 3: that doesn't seem to add up. You think Otani moved

101
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 3: or do you think he still lives? He lived in

102
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 3: Orange County. When he's playing for the Angels, you think

103
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 3: he moved to La or he probably not.

104
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: He's in Arizona right now, but I wonder.

105
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,919
Speaker 5: When he gets back to southern California. I heard that

106
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,280
Speaker 5: he hired Kobe's backup pilot.

107
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:36,480
Speaker 1: Oh good luck.

108
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:38,279
Speaker 4: To make he rest in peace?

109
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,479
Speaker 3: You know you should take is just have him like

110
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 3: fire him out of a cannon and they can fire

111
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 3: him over the traffic and then it's like, yeah, the

112
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 3: old circus back and he can land at Dodger State

113
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 3: or get a catapult, oh like like super Dave, Yeah, yeah,

114
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 3: super Dave Osmorne, the late great Super Dave Osmonn. But

115
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 3: Otani could also just get a catapult like the olden.

116
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 1: Days and they could.

117
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 3: Just launch him over the five Freeway, the ninety one,

118
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,720
Speaker 3: the fifty seven, the one oh one, all that and

119
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,599
Speaker 3: just land right there at the pitching mountain. With the

120
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 3: technology they have today, Danny, that's an easy move. That's

121
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:17,720
Speaker 3: an easy But I did enjoy watching Otani hit the

122
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 3: home run, and I like how everyone obsessed over it.

123
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:21,840
Speaker 3: You know, that's always my I get a kick out

124
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 3: of it. It's like the biggest thing of the world.

125
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 3: It's gonna be like that for a while though. With Otanio,

126
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 3: he's getting the rockstar treatment. He's the biggest thing in baseball.

127
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:33,839
Speaker 3: He's reminds me of Barry Bonds when Bonds was getting

128
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 3: all the attention back in the day with the Giants.

129
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, and Super Dave was underrated by the way.

130
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he was great. And right up until the

131
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 1: end on Curb Your Enthusiasm.

132
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,239
Speaker 4: Ah yeah, he was a great character on that show.

133
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:45,840
Speaker 1: He was.

134
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 3: He was absolutely great. So interesting week this week, obviously

135
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 3: not on the radio overnight here into Friday, but at

136
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 3: the Mothership. So it started out with a bang, let's

137
00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 3: take you back in the hot tub time machine. We're

138
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:01,040
Speaker 3: gonna go back to the beginning of the week. So

139
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:04,039
Speaker 3: My week starts on Sunday night into Monday morning. We

140
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 3: do the podcast on Sunday and then I do whatever

141
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 3: I do during the day, and then at Sunday night

142
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 3: I come back into the radio station. So Sunday night

143
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 3: in a Monday and I have to drive in. The

144
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 3: company wants me to be there. I'm very honored the

145
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 3: company wants me to be this important for the company

146
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,559
Speaker 3: to have me there. So I drive in long drive

147
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 3: from the north Woods. Most of the week I drive in,

148
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 3: so I go into the studio and Sunday night. There's

149
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 3: two things about Sunday night. When you go into the

150
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 3: radio station on Sunday night, there is this nice aroma

151
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 3: of rotting fish, chicken, and beef. Whatever the boys ate

152
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 3: over the weekend just sits in the trash and rots.

153
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 3: It's time for trash and get that nice aroma. It's

154
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 3: not that bad this time of the year, but comes summertimes,

155
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 3: even though we're indoors. For some reason, it seems to

156
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 3: smell more.

157
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 1: In the summer. Not sure what that's about. The Other

158
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 1: thing on the weekends in there's the South any.

159
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 3: Bey there it's just a bones type crew there, just

160
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 3: sculling bones, not much going on. So I go in there,

161
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 3: and I have to walk down the hall, around the

162
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 3: around the corner to prep in the back update studio

163
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 3: because the main studio we used to use is a

164
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 3: construction zone.

165
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 1: So I'm not allowed in there.

166
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 3: The big yellow tape not allowed in it, so I

167
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 3: don't go. I honor the yellow tape that says don't

168
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 3: go in, so I don't go in. So I go

169
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 3: to the one room I can sit in way in

170
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 3: the back, near the vending machine, which is the loudest

171
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 3: vending machine in the history of vending machines. I think

172
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 3: when they installed the vending machine, they said, can we

173
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 3: get the loudest possible vending machine we can get, and

174
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 3: then can we go even louder? And they've got that.

175
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 3: So I sit in there and I hear the hum

176
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 3: of the vending machine.

177
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 4: Soda drops. It sounds like a bomb.

178
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:52,079
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's like the neutron bomb is dropping.

179
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 3: So it's about fifteen minutes or so, ten or fifteen

180
00:08:56,440 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 3: minutes until my time to take over. The microphone owns

181
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 3: a Fox Sports tradio. The button has passed me, so

182
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 3: I flip on the programming in the studio and I

183
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,959
Speaker 3: hear Arnie Spanier, but I don't hear Chris plain. Now,

184
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 3: Arnie is my lead in on Sunday Night and the

185
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:14,320
Speaker 3: Monday Arnie Spanier and Chris Plank can.

186
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 1: They do a great job.

187
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 3: And so I'm used to hearing them, and I hear

188
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 3: a few minutes of their show usually on Sunday Night.

189
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 3: So I heard Arnie and then I heard someone. I

190
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 3: didn't regularly recognize the voice, and Arnie didn't reset and

191
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 3: say who it was. The person didn't say their names.

192
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 3: I had no idea who it was.

193
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 1: I was just listening, and you know, I knew it

194
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 1: was a former athlete. I knew that, but I didn't

195
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 1: really know who it was.

196
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 3: And so I'm like whatever, And so I walked over

197
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 3: to the to the air studio. I walked by the

198
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 3: vending machine, down the hall, make a right, go down

199
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 3: the hall, and then make another right. Then I go

200
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,839
Speaker 3: down a little hall, make a left, and then I'm

201
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 3: in this little area where there's the main studio, and

202
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:57,080
Speaker 3: then the engineer and the producer sit in the other room.

203
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 3: So I go there and I look at the on

204
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 3: air studio. It is pitch black, right, completely dark, nothing

205
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 3: going on, right, So I'm like, all right, I guess

206
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 3: this guy, whoever it is, must must be on the

207
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 3: com Rex, the ISD and whatever. He's doing the show remote.

208
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 3: So I know Arnie's in Vermont, so he's not here.

209
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 3: So I'm like, all right, I'll go in there and

210
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 3: I'll set my stuff up and get ready. So I

211
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:30,439
Speaker 3: walk over to this giant glass door which is the

212
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 3: door to the studio, and I pushed the door open.

213
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 3: I've got two bags, I've got my computer in one hand,

214
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:37,080
Speaker 3: I've got the headphones in the other.

215
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 1: And I open the door and I walk in and.

216
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:46,959
Speaker 4: Much to my shock, just like the time I walked

217
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 4: in on my mom going pe.

218
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, very similar.

219
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 3: So I walked in and staring back at me in

220
00:10:54,480 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 3: the darkness is Ephraim Salaam from my boy from from

221
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:05,560
Speaker 3: the the Broncos lineman from back in the day, who

222
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 3: was sitting.

223
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 4: Oh oh no, and he worried member of the COVID team.

224
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 1: Oh easy. I did not know that. I I don't

225
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 1: think i've met him.

226
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 3: So I I did the Homer Simpson meme Danny, where

227
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 3: I quickly turned around. Uh, I was like, you gotta

228
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:25,839
Speaker 3: be joking. I'm like, who's like, I sit in a

229
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 3: dark studio. I liked the studio with the lights turned down.

230
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 4: I like the mood.

231
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 3: I've never seen anyone work with all the lights completely off.

232
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 4: Yeah.

233
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 1: Anything.

234
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:40,319
Speaker 4: And it's not like he has pale skin like Brian Finley.

235
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 1: Well, I'm not saying that.

236
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 3: I just I just assumed because I looked at the

237
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 3: lights in the studio and there were none on.

238
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 1: I said, well, there's no way there's anyone in there.

239
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 3: So I was like, here's my time, and man, it

240
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 3: was a turnout the lights the parties over.

241
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 4: So yeah, did his eyes get really big when he

242
00:11:59,320 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 4: saw you?

243
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, he looked at me and he gave me like

244
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 3: what the f are you doing here? Kind of looking

245
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 3: I and I gave him the same look I gave

246
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 3: him somebody.

247
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,200
Speaker 1: I was like, wait a minute, what are you doing here?

248
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 5: I used to do some weekend shows with e from

249
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 5: So I produced he from every Saturday, and he's a

250
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:23,559
Speaker 5: no nonsense guy Ben and he always would come in

251
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 5: with gloves, a face mask, a mask, COVID mask.

252
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:29,199
Speaker 4: Over his face.

253
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 1: Oh boy, that's a regular mask.

254
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:35,839
Speaker 5: But also he used to do a show with your

255
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:39,199
Speaker 5: boy Brian Know, and he loved that. Brian Know was

256
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:42,319
Speaker 5: always remote because he would have the studio to himself

257
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,439
Speaker 5: when he would come in, the show would leave and

258
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 5: he would spray lysol for about five minutes. He'd spend

259
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:53,679
Speaker 5: ten minutes cleaning everything down, even though he was looking

260
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 5: like he had a hazmat suit on. And one of

261
00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 5: the shows on the air, Brian tells him, Hey, by

262
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 5: the way, I'm in La next week, so I'm gonna

263
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 5: be broadcasting live with you there and he said, where

264
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 5: from the parking lot?

265
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:09,840
Speaker 4: You ain't coming into the studio.

266
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 3: Oh man, I'm trying to block out that two and

267
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 3: a half years of my life, daddy, where everyone was

268
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 3: it was the apocalypse.

269
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:20,680
Speaker 1: My god.

270
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 3: I still I've been going to the gym. We talked

271
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 3: about this in a previous episode of the podcast. I've

272
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 3: been going to the gym during the day now. I

273
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 3: used to always go after the show, and I'd go

274
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 3: in the morning and there was no one there and

275
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:33,320
Speaker 3: it was a bunch of old people.

276
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:35,679
Speaker 1: So I go during the day. There's like younger people whatever.

277
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:37,680
Speaker 1: I guess. No one works during the day.

278
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,319
Speaker 3: Maybe they all do overnight radio shows like I do,

279
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 3: and so they're available to go to the gym in

280
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 3: the middle of the day. And so I've been going

281
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 3: during the day, but I still see a good number

282
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 3: of people that are completely invested in like they think

283
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 3: it's like July of twenty twenty, which is you know

284
00:13:57,760 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 3: what you know gets you through life.

285
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 1: But it's just odd. It's just still it's still odd.

286
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 3: To me to see that, especially with all the the

287
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:08,679
Speaker 3: data pointing one direction, not the not the other way.

288
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 3: That was my run in with literally a collig and

289
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 3: it was very nice. He did have a Bronco like

290
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 3: Jack and on, so he was still repping the Broncos stuff.

291
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, he said that he loved his time in Denver,

292
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 5: even though he wasn't there for very long. He spent

293
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 5: most of his career playing for the Texans.

294
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, yeah, but he had he definitely had Bronco

295
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 3: Bronco merch.

296
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure.

297
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 4: He was a Bronco homer on the air.

298
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 1: There you go.

299
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 3: Well, I you know, Coop likes the Broncos. He didn't

300
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 3: talk about m much of these days because they suck,

301
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 3: but if they're good, he'll be back.

302
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 4: And the Raiders have beat you eight games in a row.

303
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 3: I don't think Coop played for the Broncos though. I

304
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 3: don't think I mean, I'm not sure. Maybe maybe he

305
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 3: was like the backup kicker punter or something like that

306
00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 3: back in the day.

307
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 1: Cool gosh, not sure.

308
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 3: So I did want to send a We don't do

309
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 3: shout outs on the radio show, but this is the podcast,

310
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 3: and this is not really a shout out. But Coach Mack,

311
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 3: the Coach Mack attack. Who Coach Mack. You don't know

312
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 3: Coach Mack. Never heard of him?

313
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 1: Oh man, it's a bad job by you.

314
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 3: So from Big Timber, Big Timber, Montana. Coach Mack is

315
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 3: a p one. He used to live in southern California

316
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 3: and he was a regular loyal minion, a p one

317
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 3: in the mal Or militia, and Coach Mack ended up

318
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 3: moving to Big Timber, Montana.

319
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 4: Wait wait, I do remember this dude from back in

320
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 4: the day.

321
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, he used to call the show and he's

322
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 3: a big fan. He wanted to get out of California

323
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 3: for because it's California. There's a lot of crazy things

324
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 3: going on in California he didn't agree with and so

325
00:15:59,320 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 3: he knew.

326
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 1: He couldn't change him. So he's like, I'm going to

327
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 1: get out of here.

328
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 3: And he's a coach and he ended up in Montana,

329
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 3: in Big Timber, Montana, and he is a coach at

330
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 3: sweet Grass County High School in Big Timber of Montana,

331
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 3: and he is a big fan of the show and

332
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 3: on this high school goes back to nineteen o five.

333
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 3: Imagine what Montana must have been like in nineteen oh five.

334
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 1: Can only imagine.

335
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 3: But the reason I bring this up is because coach

336
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 3: Max said, Hey, I like you guys. I want you

337
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:38,360

338
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 3: school and stuff. He's a coach there, and he sent

339
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 3: us a gift box filled with hats from the high school. Now,

340
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 3: normally I'd be like, Okay, it's a high school, why

341
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 3: would I wear that? But this is one of the coolest,

342
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 3: the coolest logos in an age where in my lifetime

343
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 3: we've had the Washington Bullets name canceled because that was

344
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 3: gonna end gun violence. Can you check to see how

345
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 3: gun violence is doing in DC since they got rid

346
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 3: of the Bullet's nickname?

347
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 1: Is it all gone now? Maybe it is. I don't know.

348
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 1: They've gotten rid of the Redskins name, the Cleveland Indians name.

349
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:15,680
Speaker 1: You know, this fixes the world one nickname at a time.

350
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 3: So the Montana High School, Big the sweet Grass County

351
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:30,920
Speaker 3: High School. Their mascot is just tremendous. It's just absolutely.

352
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 1: Tremendo Let me see if I can send this. I

353
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:32,640
Speaker 1: don't know if you've seen.

354
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 4: It, Danny.

355
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 1: I I posted some.

356
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 3: Photos the other day, But their mascot, I believe they're

357
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:39,440
Speaker 3: the Sheepherders.

358
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:43,440
Speaker 1: They're the Sheepherders, and their mascot.

359
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 3: Danny is an old guy with a beard and an

360
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 3: old Montana Western hat smoking a pipe is the mascot.

361
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:57,639
Speaker 3: And it's like, if you did that in California, seven

362
00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 3: people would be fired and they'd bring in therapist for

363
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 3: the students to look at. I sent you a copy

364
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 3: of it on.

365
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:06,400
Speaker 5: Your Oh nice, yeah, yeah, it looks like an old

366
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:07,960
Speaker 5: gold miner smoking.

367
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, it's an old guy smoking a pipe.

368
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 2: You know.

369
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 3: Just that's that's wrong on so many levels, Danny, that

370
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:18,160
Speaker 3: that mascot is wrong just about every way you can

371
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 3: slice a maskcot. So anyway, he was very kind, Coach Mack,

372
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 3: and he he sent us a gift pack of hats,

373
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 3: and then he wanted me to give some to Petrols

374
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:31,200
Speaker 3: some money. But I see Petros maybe once or twice

375
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 3: a year. Maybe it's very random. Sometimes it'll be a

376
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 3: Dodger game. Sometimes I'll fill in. Usually once or twice

377
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 3: a year, I fill in for a guy named Fred

378
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:43,399
Speaker 3: Rogan or I with Brett. I'll fill in for Rodney

379
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 3: Pete with Fred.

380
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:46,560
Speaker 4: We saw Petros at the racetrack.

381
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:47,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, we saw that's right.

382
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:49,880
Speaker 3: I caught up. I big a hog. You know, every

383
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:52,119
Speaker 3: time I see Petros, we flashed back. We known each

384
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,119
Speaker 3: other for a long time. I've known him since he

385
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 3: played at USC, so we've known each other a long

386
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:57,680
Speaker 3: time before he got in the media.

387
00:18:57,680 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 1: And I love Petrols and it's always great.

388
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 3: And we're very similar, like we're around the same age,

389
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:03,440
Speaker 3: me and Petros.

390
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:05,200
Speaker 1: We kind of look at sports similar.

391
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:07,920
Speaker 3: We like sports, but you know we're we like the

392
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:09,879
Speaker 3: different perspective on things.

393
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:13,159
Speaker 5: Then, yeah, you both love to bachel lebron and you

394
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 5: both can suck the joy out of Disneyland.

395
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know what you're talking about.

396
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:23,440
Speaker 3: I have no idea, but so that's my relationship with Petros.

397
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 3: So I have some hats. I have a few extra

398
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 3: hats from Coach Mac and I plan on My intention

399
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:32,120
Speaker 3: is to leave them in the car and then at

400
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:34,679
Speaker 3: some point I'll run into Petros and hopefully I'll be

401
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:37,920
Speaker 3: in that car and then I'll say, hey, Petros, here

402
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 3: you go ta Da and I'll give the spets. But

403
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:44,920
Speaker 3: we don't broadcast from the same building. People don't know that.

404
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 3: Who are coach Mac? I just didn't know that. And

405
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 3: so anyway, thank you for the hats. Appreciate it. It

406
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:54,119
Speaker 3: is really cool and that will be in my rotation, Danny.

Speaker 3: And this request coming from Pierre and he says here

Speaker 3: here this is what I wrote, he said, and he

421
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 3: wants to hear.

422
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:48,879
Speaker 1: This as the word of the week. And what is

423
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 1: this announced? What this is? I will announce what this

424
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 1: is the word of the week.

425
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 3: Is kerfluffle A fun word? Kerfluffle? Right, fun word kerfluffle.

426
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 3: I do use this word at least once or twice

427
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,879
Speaker 3: a week in one form or another. Usually in a

428
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:09,480
Speaker 3: mall of monologue. I will mix in the word kerfluffle.

429
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:14,359
Speaker 3: So what the hell does the word kerfluffle me? Kerfluffle

430
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 3: is a state of being disordered or ruffled, hence agitation

431
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 3: and perturbation.

432
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:29,160
Speaker 1: That's a big word, the word. Now, my right hand

433
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:31,879
Speaker 1: was getting a workout out, David. That was one of

434
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:34,399
Speaker 1: the greatest commercials in the history of commercials.

435
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 3: Okay, let me tell you something. Those people that sleep

436
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:39,760
Speaker 3: numbers should still send me checks. Okay for those commercials

437
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:41,480
Speaker 3: that I did for those sleep number beds back in

438
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 3: the day.

439
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 1: I digress.

440
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 3: So this word, now, we goes way back. If you

441
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:48,679
Speaker 3: want to go way, way, way, way way back, it

442
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 3: goes to the fifteen hundreds. But in eighteen thirteen, according

443
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 3: to those that keep track of such things, the word

444
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 3: kerfluffle was actually spelled with a C. Now it's spelled

445
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 3: with a K, and it was first attested to Scottish writers.

446
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:05,679
Speaker 1: It's a Scottish word.

447
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 3: And it comes from the verb meaning to disorder, dishevel

448
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,360
Speaker 3: that's said to be from the fifteen eighties, so we're

449
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:17,920
Speaker 3: going way back to the fifteen eighties. And the origin though,

450
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:25,440
Speaker 3: is rather obscure. They think it came from another Scottish

451
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:29,400
Speaker 3: word fuffle, that kerf fluffle. They just added the curve

452
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 3: onto fluffle and boom, you got a word. You can

453
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:34,159
Speaker 3: just add that on top and put a little spice

454
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:37,679
Speaker 3: on there, and you've got the word a fuffle, a

455
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 3: fluffle or kerf fluffle next it.

456
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:43,120
Speaker 1: So and that means to throw into disorder.

457
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 3: That comes out all the way from the fifteen thirties,

458
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:51,920
Speaker 3: but as normally happens, over time the term has been

459
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 3: sharpened and broadened and evolved, and it also involved military.

460
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 3: There's some military usage involved in this. But the word

461
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:07,879
Speaker 3: is a kerfluffle. It's the word of the week, a

462
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 3: state of being disordered or ruffled. The modern usage of

463
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 3: this word dates back to the nineteen hundreds nineteen hundreds

464
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:23,200
Speaker 3: and often used in Canada. So even though it originated

465
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:27,879
Speaker 3: in Scotland and it's a Scottish word, it did end

466
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 3: up coming from the fine folks there in Canada the

467
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 3: way that we use so that is the word of

468
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:40,399
Speaker 3: the week, kerfluffle and this is not a fishing podcast, Danny,

469
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:42,720
Speaker 3: But did you see that story earlier in the week

470
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 3: that a fisherman reeled in a white sailfish in Guatemala.

471
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:52,359
Speaker 3: That is amazing, Like this is like the one you

472
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 3: hear these fishing stories, but now because of social media.

473
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 3: I wanted to mention this before I forget, because I

474
00:23:57,840 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 3: saw this this week.

475
00:23:58,480 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 1: It was crazy.

476
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 3: I'm not a fish I'm not, but I do admire

477
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 3: oddities of the ocean. There's so much of the ocean

478
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 3: that we have no idea what's there. And if you

479
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:13,359
Speaker 3: knew what was there, your head would probably explode thinking

480
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 3: about it.

481
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 1: But these these odd.

482
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:18,919
Speaker 3: Ball fishing stories are pretty wild. And this guy in

483
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:24,119
Speaker 3: Guatemala happy to catch a white sailfish. The odds of

484
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 3: this are insane to the member, and he was. The

485
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:34,720
Speaker 3: guy was on a luxury fishing boat while he did it.

486
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 3: The billfish unicorn as it is called, one in a million.

487
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 3: It is an albino sailfish.

488
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 1: Racist, I claim.

489
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:52,719
Speaker 3: And I'm not like, I'm not known. I don't know

490
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 3: everything about fish. Obviously, I'm an amateur when it comes

491
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:59,879
Speaker 3: to that. But even as an amateur, this is this

492
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 3: like ridiculous. Now, do you think the other fish goof

493
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 3: on that fish? Do you think they're like fish bullies

494
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 3: out there? And well, wait a minute, you don't look

495
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 3: like us, so like what's going on with you? Or

496
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:10,959
Speaker 3: you think they don't give a crap and they're like

497
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:13,880
Speaker 3: like whatever, it is a good looking fish, Like it's

498
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:15,359
Speaker 3: a it is a good looking fish.

499
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:18,719
Speaker 1: I'll give you that. So I don't know know how

500
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:19,119
Speaker 1: that works.

501
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 3: But there you go, so a fishtail and you like,

502
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:25,720
Speaker 3: you're a fisherman though, Danny, you've told us that you

503
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 3: like to go fishing and that's your thing, right.

504
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I do that fishing derby at Bass

505
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:37,200
Speaker 5: Lake where they have all those money tags on different fish.

506
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:39,200
Speaker 5: If you catch a bass that has the ten thousand

507
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 5: dollars marker on it, then you know you're set for

508
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:45,400
Speaker 5: the rest of the fishing season. But we've never even

509
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:49,920
Speaker 5: reeled one end during that derby. We are convinced that

510
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 5: there are paid actors there on the lake showing you

511
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 5: the fish that they caught. We've seen a couple of

512
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 5: boats go by and it's the same guys holding up

513
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 5: their prize fish that they caught, and I'm like, those

514
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:02,200
Speaker 5: are paid actors for the city.

515
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:05,480
Speaker 3: And that does have We've we've talked about stories like

516
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:07,120
Speaker 3: that over the years. I think there was a big

517
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 3: scandal in the whole was it Ohio? Yep, you guys

518
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:14,359
Speaker 3: were like weighing down fish and winning contests and doing

519
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:17,120
Speaker 3: weird prap to to win contests.

520
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 1: All right, we'll get out on that. We got another pod. Uh,

524
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:31,960

Speaker 5: discount during the off hours where they don't have a

538
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:12,879
Speaker 5: lot of traffic, it'll just be regular prices, but it'll

539
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:15,920
Speaker 5: surge like Lyft and Uber. When it's a busy time

540
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:18,200
