It's National Day of 0:00:52.520 --> 0:00:56.440 Unplugging today, which I don't think we're unplugging by doing 0:00:56.440 --> 0:00:59.760 this podcast, and anyone who is listening to this podcast 0:01:00.240 --> 0:01:06.759 is also not unplugging, so technically we're not celebrating National 0:01:06.880 --> 0:01:09.319 Day of Unplugging. But it is today, the first day 0:01:09.360 --> 0:01:13.600 of March twenty twenty four, so you're supposed to unplug 0:01:13.680 --> 0:01:15.680 all of your devices. 0:01:15.240 --> 0:01:17.480 And just oh, I thought it was getting the plunger 0:01:17.520 --> 0:01:18.680 and fixing your toilet. 0:01:22.440 --> 0:01:24.120 Well, you can do that also if you want, if 0:01:24.120 --> 0:01:26.399 you want to eat a really hearty meal and just 0:01:26.480 --> 0:01:28.760 clog up your toilet, you can do that. 0:01:28.959 --> 0:01:30.160 But it is. 0:01:30.200 --> 0:01:34.920 Technically a day to get off all those annoying devices 0:01:35.600 --> 0:01:38.800 with you know, your iPhone or whatever, you know electric 0:01:38.880 --> 0:01:40.200 device you're using when you're not. 0:01:40.480 --> 0:01:42.759 You don't have an iPhone, you have an Android, whatever 0:01:42.760 --> 0:01:43.160 you might have. 0:01:43.240 --> 0:01:47.000 So it's a global day of unplugging, which is not 0:01:47.560 --> 0:01:50.960 is not honored at all. Dan, how many days a 0:01:51.040 --> 0:01:55.680 year do you actually unplug from electronic devices? 0:01:55.720 --> 0:01:59.520 Probably one week when you're on vacation and you try 0:01:59.680 --> 0:02:02.200 your beat to do that. Yeah, you gotta have maybe 0:02:02.280 --> 0:02:05.120 your phone on if you have kids, but other than that, 0:02:05.760 --> 0:02:09.680 it's just that one week of vacation and you a 0:02:09.680 --> 0:02:12.560 funny way to celebrate this, stay Ben, you should get 0:02:12.600 --> 0:02:15.920 on all your platforms on social media and every hour 0:02:16.080 --> 0:02:17.840 tweet about how you're unplugging. 0:02:18.919 --> 0:02:22.800 Yes, I am honoring National Day of Unplugging. 0:02:23.080 --> 0:02:24.680 I just want you to know that I am not 0:02:24.960 --> 0:02:25.880 on these devices. 0:02:25.880 --> 0:02:27.920 Even though it looks like I'm on these devices, I 0:02:27.960 --> 0:02:32.120 am not on these devices at all. It just appears 0:02:32.200 --> 0:02:34.880 that way. But that is actually not what's going on 0:02:35.600 --> 0:02:36.040 at all. 0:02:36.560 --> 0:02:39.360 So nice to unplug today dot dot dot and then 0:02:39.400 --> 0:02:41.440 bring up a topic and keep tweeting about it. 0:02:41.680 --> 0:02:43.480 Yeah, yeah, exactly. I also saw. 0:02:43.800 --> 0:02:45.480 And the only reason I bring this one up is 0:02:45.520 --> 0:02:48.720 because there's a guy that calls the show randomly from 0:02:48.880 --> 0:02:51.639 Arkansas who has this as his nickname, although he's got 0:02:51.639 --> 0:02:58.960 many nicknames. It is national dad Gum, That's good day. Yeah, 0:02:59.000 --> 0:03:01.880 and I don't even know what that is, but national Happy, 0:03:02.000 --> 0:03:05.520 National dad Gum, that's good day, which I guess means 0:03:05.560 --> 0:03:08.760 good food, good company, good times and all that, but 0:03:08.840 --> 0:03:11.600 it also means a random truck driver from Arkansas that 0:03:11.720 --> 0:03:15.480 calls the show promised us little Debbie cakes on the 0:03:15.520 --> 0:03:16.480 overnight show. 0:03:16.440 --> 0:03:17.799 And we're still waiting. 0:03:18.360 --> 0:03:20.560 We're still waiting for those and used to be called 0:03:20.560 --> 0:03:23.720 to scratch off and then you got hear a lot 0:03:23.720 --> 0:03:25.600 of nicknames. Oh, by the way, I should also probably 0:03:25.600 --> 0:03:27.600 mention before we get too far into this podcast. You 0:03:27.680 --> 0:03:30.000 probably know by now if you're listening to the original 0:03:30.040 --> 0:03:35.760 Recipe podcast, the Ben Mallor Show podcast, Not at My Watchtower, 0:03:35.920 --> 0:03:39.800 Danny last night or this morning, depending how you look 0:03:39.800 --> 0:03:43.640 at it, I was not there. You fired on assignment, 0:03:43.800 --> 0:03:47.760 a secret assignment, I cannot say, but I was not 0:03:48.160 --> 0:03:50.720 able to do the show, but somehow I'm able to 0:03:50.720 --> 0:03:53.360 do the podcast. It's the magic of podcasting, Danny that 0:03:53.360 --> 0:03:53.760 we're here. 0:03:54.320 --> 0:03:58.800 Yeah, because podcast it's us waking up at five am 0:03:59.320 --> 0:04:00.640 for your live show. 0:04:01.040 --> 0:04:03.160 You have to be awake at ten pm. 0:04:03.720 --> 0:04:11.440 Yes, the never ending, never ending life of bloviation, full bloviation. 0:04:12.000 --> 0:04:15.000 So I wanted to start here on the Friday Pod. 0:04:15.120 --> 0:04:17.080 As we get into a new month and we'll have 0:04:17.240 --> 0:04:22.800 regular season baseball, huh, We're gonna have Talking Bays ball. 0:04:22.839 --> 0:04:26.440 These exhibition games, which are fine. I'm not against exhibition games, 0:04:26.440 --> 0:04:29.159 but I'm not you know. I'll tune in for like 0:04:29.200 --> 0:04:31.080 a couple of innings, but I'm not really sitting there 0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:33.240 and watching him. I used to watch Back in the 0:04:33.240 --> 0:04:36.080 old days, I would watch every exhibition game, but as 0:04:36.080 --> 0:04:40.160 I've gotten more jaded and i've aged, I'll sample a 0:04:40.200 --> 0:04:44.200 little bit, but I'm not watching anything past like the 0:04:44.240 --> 0:04:48.240 third inning of these early exhibition games in Arizona and Florida, 0:04:48.640 --> 0:04:50.640 I'm out. 0:04:49.440 --> 0:04:53.600 I know it must have put a smile on your face, though. 0:04:53.640 --> 0:04:57.840 When Otani hit that bomb in his first Dodger preseason game, it. 0:04:57.800 --> 0:04:58.280 Was pretty good. 0:04:58.320 --> 0:05:01.760 Now he's only got to hit seven one hundred home 0:05:01.839 --> 0:05:05.159 runs and then one million dollars for each home run. 0:05:05.400 --> 0:05:06.000 Is that how it works? 0:05:06.080 --> 0:05:09.040 Is that the math on that is seven hundred and 0:05:09.080 --> 0:05:11.680 then well he got seven hundred million. But it's all deferred, right, 0:05:11.760 --> 0:05:14.479 most of it's deferred. I'm not a numbers guy, but 0:05:14.520 --> 0:05:18.239 that doesn't seem to add up. You think Otani moved 0:05:18.320 --> 0:05:19.640 or do you think he still lives? He lived in 0:05:19.680 --> 0:05:22.920 Orange County. When he's playing for the Angels, you think 0:05:22.960 --> 0:05:24.960 he moved to La or he probably not. 0:05:25.000 --> 0:05:26.880 He's in Arizona right now, but I wonder. 0:05:27.080 --> 0:05:29.919 When he gets back to southern California. I heard that 0:05:30.000 --> 0:05:32.280 he hired Kobe's backup pilot. 0:05:32.520 --> 0:05:36.480 Oh good luck. 0:05:37.040 --> 0:05:38.279 To make he rest in peace? 0:05:39.720 --> 0:05:42.479 You know you should take is just have him like 0:05:42.640 --> 0:05:44.920 fire him out of a cannon and they can fire 0:05:45.000 --> 0:05:47.240 him over the traffic and then it's like, yeah, the 0:05:47.240 --> 0:05:50.800 old circus back and he can land at Dodger State 0:05:50.920 --> 0:05:54.080 or get a catapult, oh like like super Dave, Yeah, yeah, 0:05:54.240 --> 0:05:56.880 super Dave Osmorne, the late great Super Dave Osmonn. But 0:05:56.920 --> 0:05:59.960 Otani could also just get a catapult like the olden. 0:05:59.720 --> 0:06:00.760 Days and they could. 0:06:00.520 --> 0:06:05.760 Just launch him over the five Freeway, the ninety one, 0:06:05.800 --> 0:06:08.720 the fifty seven, the one oh one, all that and 0:06:08.880 --> 0:06:11.599 just land right there at the pitching mountain. With the 0:06:11.680 --> 0:06:15.760 technology they have today, Danny, that's an easy move. That's 0:06:15.760 --> 0:06:17.720 an easy But I did enjoy watching Otani hit the 0:06:17.760 --> 0:06:20.120 home run, and I like how everyone obsessed over it. 0:06:20.160 --> 0:06:21.840 You know, that's always my I get a kick out 0:06:21.839 --> 0:06:23.760 of it. It's like the biggest thing of the world. 0:06:23.839 --> 0:06:25.800 It's gonna be like that for a while though. With Otanio, 0:06:25.839 --> 0:06:28.800 he's getting the rockstar treatment. He's the biggest thing in baseball. 0:06:29.120 --> 0:06:33.839 He's reminds me of Barry Bonds when Bonds was getting 0:06:33.839 --> 0:06:35.960 all the attention back in the day with the Giants. 0:06:36.560 --> 0:06:38.800 Yeah, and Super Dave was underrated by the way. 0:06:39.240 --> 0:06:40.920 Oh yeah, he was great. And right up until the 0:06:41.040 --> 0:06:43.320 end on Curb Your Enthusiasm. 0:06:42.920 --> 0:06:45.239 Ah yeah, he was a great character on that show. 0:06:45.440 --> 0:06:45.840 He was. 0:06:45.920 --> 0:06:49.680 He was absolutely great. So interesting week this week, obviously 0:06:49.680 --> 0:06:54.200 not on the radio overnight here into Friday, but at 0:06:54.200 --> 0:06:57.640 the Mothership. So it started out with a bang, let's 0:06:57.680 --> 0:06:59.480 take you back in the hot tub time machine. We're 0:06:59.480 --> 0:07:01.040 gonna go back to the beginning of the week. So 0:07:01.160 --> 0:07:04.039 My week starts on Sunday night into Monday morning. We 0:07:04.080 --> 0:07:06.880 do the podcast on Sunday and then I do whatever 0:07:06.920 --> 0:07:08.440 I do during the day, and then at Sunday night 0:07:08.480 --> 0:07:10.640 I come back into the radio station. So Sunday night 0:07:10.680 --> 0:07:14.640 in a Monday and I have to drive in. The 0:07:14.680 --> 0:07:16.520 company wants me to be there. I'm very honored the 0:07:16.560 --> 0:07:18.440 company wants me to be this important for the company 0:07:18.480 --> 0:07:21.559 to have me there. So I drive in long drive 0:07:21.560 --> 0:07:24.320 from the north Woods. Most of the week I drive in, 0:07:24.680 --> 0:07:30.280 so I go into the studio and Sunday night. There's 0:07:30.320 --> 0:07:33.360 two things about Sunday night. When you go into the 0:07:33.440 --> 0:07:37.360 radio station on Sunday night, there is this nice aroma 0:07:37.560 --> 0:07:41.880 of rotting fish, chicken, and beef. Whatever the boys ate 0:07:41.960 --> 0:07:44.600 over the weekend just sits in the trash and rots. 0:07:45.120 --> 0:07:49.600 It's time for trash and get that nice aroma. It's 0:07:49.640 --> 0:07:52.760 not that bad this time of the year, but comes summertimes, 0:07:52.800 --> 0:07:54.760 even though we're indoors. For some reason, it seems to 0:07:54.800 --> 0:07:55.520 smell more. 0:07:56.120 --> 0:07:57.960 In the summer. Not sure what that's about. The Other 0:07:58.000 --> 0:08:01.440 thing on the weekends in there's the South any. 0:08:01.400 --> 0:08:05.560 Bey there it's just a bones type crew there, just 0:08:05.560 --> 0:08:09.040 sculling bones, not much going on. So I go in there, 0:08:09.040 --> 0:08:10.560 and I have to walk down the hall, around the 0:08:10.720 --> 0:08:14.720 around the corner to prep in the back update studio 0:08:14.760 --> 0:08:18.320 because the main studio we used to use is a 0:08:18.360 --> 0:08:19.120 construction zone. 0:08:19.120 --> 0:08:19.960 So I'm not allowed in there. 0:08:19.960 --> 0:08:21.720 The big yellow tape not allowed in it, so I 0:08:21.720 --> 0:08:24.400 don't go. I honor the yellow tape that says don't 0:08:24.440 --> 0:08:25.400 go in, so I don't go in. So I go 0:08:25.480 --> 0:08:27.280 to the one room I can sit in way in 0:08:27.320 --> 0:08:30.000 the back, near the vending machine, which is the loudest 0:08:30.080 --> 0:08:32.800 vending machine in the history of vending machines. I think 0:08:33.040 --> 0:08:35.320 when they installed the vending machine, they said, can we 0:08:35.360 --> 0:08:38.480 get the loudest possible vending machine we can get, and 0:08:38.920 --> 0:08:41.840 then can we go even louder? And they've got that. 0:08:41.880 --> 0:08:43.000 So I sit in there and I hear the hum 0:08:43.040 --> 0:08:45.120 of the vending machine. 0:08:45.679 --> 0:08:47.640 Soda drops. It sounds like a bomb. 0:08:47.840 --> 0:08:52.079 Oh yeah, it's like the neutron bomb is dropping. 0:08:52.160 --> 0:08:56.400 So it's about fifteen minutes or so, ten or fifteen 0:08:56.440 --> 0:09:00.280 minutes until my time to take over. The microphone owns 0:09:00.280 --> 0:09:03.800 a Fox Sports tradio. The button has passed me, so 0:09:04.280 --> 0:09:06.960 I flip on the programming in the studio and I 0:09:07.000 --> 0:09:09.959 hear Arnie Spanier, but I don't hear Chris plain. Now, 0:09:10.080 --> 0:09:12.760 Arnie is my lead in on Sunday Night and the 0:09:12.800 --> 0:09:14.320 Monday Arnie Spanier and Chris Plank can. 0:09:14.360 --> 0:09:15.120 They do a great job. 0:09:15.160 --> 0:09:16.760 And so I'm used to hearing them, and I hear 0:09:16.800 --> 0:09:19.360 a few minutes of their show usually on Sunday Night. 0:09:20.160 --> 0:09:22.000 So I heard Arnie and then I heard someone. I 0:09:22.000 --> 0:09:26.360 didn't regularly recognize the voice, and Arnie didn't reset and 0:09:26.400 --> 0:09:28.400 say who it was. The person didn't say their names. 0:09:28.440 --> 0:09:29.480 I had no idea who it was. 0:09:29.559 --> 0:09:31.720 I was just listening, and you know, I knew it 0:09:31.760 --> 0:09:34.960 was a former athlete. I knew that, but I didn't 0:09:35.040 --> 0:09:36.760 really know who it was. 0:09:36.840 --> 0:09:39.680 And so I'm like whatever, And so I walked over 0:09:39.760 --> 0:09:42.280 to the to the air studio. I walked by the 0:09:42.360 --> 0:09:45.080 vending machine, down the hall, make a right, go down 0:09:45.080 --> 0:09:48.160 the hall, and then make another right. Then I go 0:09:48.280 --> 0:09:50.839 down a little hall, make a left, and then I'm 0:09:50.840 --> 0:09:53.960 in this little area where there's the main studio, and 0:09:54.000 --> 0:09:57.080 then the engineer and the producer sit in the other room. 0:09:57.200 --> 0:10:00.400 So I go there and I look at the on 0:10:00.520 --> 0:10:07.000 air studio.

I did not know that. I I don't 0:11:13.360 --> 0:11:14.120 think i've met him. 0:11:14.160 --> 0:11:17.400 So I I did the Homer Simpson meme Danny, where 0:11:17.400 --> 0:11:23.600 I quickly turned around. Uh, I was like, you gotta 0:11:23.600 --> 0:11:25.839 be joking. I'm like, who's like, I sit in a 0:11:25.920 --> 0:11:29.120 dark studio. I liked the studio with the lights turned down. 0:11:29.520 --> 0:11:30.600 I like the mood. 0:11:31.160 --> 0:11:35.000 I've never seen anyone work with all the lights completely off. 0:11:35.960 --> 0:11:36.160 Yeah. 0:11:36.480 --> 0:11:36.920 Anything. 0:11:37.360 --> 0:11:40.319 And it's not like he has pale skin like Brian Finley. 0:11:40.400 --> 0:11:41.280 Well, I'm not saying that. 0:11:41.320 --> 0:11:43.720 I just I just assumed because I looked at the 0:11:43.800 --> 0:11:45.800 lights in the studio and there were none on. 0:11:45.960 --> 0:11:47.960 I said, well, there's no way there's anyone in there. 0:11:48.400 --> 0:11:51.360 So I was like, here's my time, and man, it 0:11:51.480 --> 0:11:55.120 was a turnout the lights the parties over. 0:11:56.160 --> 0:11:59.280 So yeah, did his eyes get really big when he 0:11:59.320 --> 0:11:59.640 saw you? 0:12:00.240 --> 0:12:02.240 Yeah, he looked at me and he gave me like 0:12:02.320 --> 0:12:05.000 what the f are you doing here? Kind of looking 0:12:05.080 --> 0:12:07.480 I and I gave him the same look I gave 0:12:07.559 --> 0:12:08.000 him somebody. 0:12:08.040 --> 0:12:10.200 I was like, wait a minute, what are you doing here? 0:12:13.200 --> 0:12:15.600 I used to do some weekend shows with e from 0:12:16.040 --> 0:12:20.280 So I produced he from every Saturday, and he's a 0:12:20.400 --> 0:12:23.559 no nonsense guy Ben and he always would come in 0:12:23.640 --> 0:12:28.480 with gloves, a face mask, a mask, COVID mask. 0:12:28.360 --> 0:12:29.199 Over his face. 0:12:29.400 --> 0:12:31.360 Oh boy, that's a regular mask. 0:12:31.800 --> 0:12:35.839 But also he used to do a show with your 0:12:35.840 --> 0:12:39.199 boy Brian Know, and he loved that. Brian Know was 0:12:39.240 --> 0:12:42.319 always remote because he would have the studio to himself 0:12:42.840 --> 0:12:45.439 when he would come in, the show would leave and 0:12:45.559 --> 0:12:49.600 he would spray lysol for about five minutes. He'd spend 0:12:49.640 --> 0:12:53.679 ten minutes cleaning everything down, even though he was looking 0:12:53.760 --> 0:12:56.880 like he had a hazmat suit on. And one of 0:12:56.880 --> 0:12:59.720 the shows on the air, Brian tells him, Hey, by 0:12:59.760 --> 0:13:02.120 the way, I'm in La next week, so I'm gonna 0:13:02.120 --> 0:13:07.360 be broadcasting live with you there and he said, where 0:13:07.480 --> 0:13:08.360 from the parking lot? 0:13:08.400 --> 0:13:09.840 You ain't coming into the studio. 0:13:11.880 --> 0:13:15.040 Oh man, I'm trying to block out that two and 0:13:15.040 --> 0:13:17.800 a half years of my life, daddy, where everyone was 0:13:18.240 --> 0:13:19.640 it was the apocalypse. 0:13:20.080 --> 0:13:20.680 My god. 0:13:21.360 --> 0:13:23.640 I still I've been going to the gym. We talked 0:13:23.640 --> 0:13:25.480 about this in a previous episode of the podcast. I've 0:13:25.480 --> 0:13:27.240 been going to the gym during the day now. I 0:13:27.320 --> 0:13:30.640 used to always go after the show, and I'd go 0:13:30.679 --> 0:13:32.080 in the morning and there was no one there and 0:13:32.120 --> 0:13:33.320 it was a bunch of old people. 0:13:33.360 --> 0:13:35.679 So I go during the day. There's like younger people whatever. 0:13:36.200 --> 0:13:37.680 I guess. No one works during the day. 0:13:38.000 --> 0:13:40.319 Maybe they all do overnight radio shows like I do, 0:13:40.640 --> 0:13:42.880 and so they're available to go to the gym in 0:13:42.920 --> 0:13:44.240 the middle of the day. And so I've been going 0:13:44.320 --> 0:13:48.600 during the day, but I still see a good number 0:13:48.600 --> 0:13:53.400 of people that are completely invested in like they think 0:13:53.400 --> 0:13:57.720 it's like July of twenty twenty, which is you know 0:13:57.760 --> 0:13:59.120 what you know gets you through life. 0:13:59.120 --> 0:14:01.840 But it's just odd. It's just still it's still odd. 0:14:01.520 --> 0:14:05.760 To me to see that, especially with all the the 0:14:05.840 --> 0:14:08.679 data pointing one direction, not the not the other way. 0:14:08.880 --> 0:14:13.160 That was my run in with literally a collig and 0:14:13.280 --> 0:14:15.720 it was very nice. He did have a Bronco like 0:14:15.920 --> 0:14:19.400 Jack and on, so he was still repping the Broncos stuff. 0:14:20.080 --> 0:14:22.680 Yeah, he said that he loved his time in Denver, 0:14:22.760 --> 0:14:24.880 even though he wasn't there for very long. He spent 0:14:25.040 --> 0:14:27.480 most of his career playing for the Texans. 0:14:27.960 --> 0:14:30.760 Okay, yeah, yeah, but he had he definitely had Bronco 0:14:31.760 --> 0:14:33.040 Bronco merch. 0:14:33.320 --> 0:14:34.560 Yeah, for sure. 0:14:34.840 --> 0:14:36.680 He was a Bronco homer on the air. 0:14:37.240 --> 0:14:37.720 There you go. 0:14:38.400 --> 0:14:40.560 Well, I you know, Coop likes the Broncos. He didn't 0:14:40.560 --> 0:14:42.280 talk about m much of these days because they suck, 0:14:42.360 --> 0:14:44.720 but if they're good, he'll be back. 0:14:45.080 --> 0:14:47.320 And the Raiders have beat you eight games in a row. 0:14:48.200 --> 0:14:50.960 I don't think Coop played for the Broncos though. I 0:14:50.960 --> 0:14:53.560 don't think I mean, I'm not sure. Maybe maybe he 0:14:53.640 --> 0:14:57.040 was like the backup kicker punter or something like that 0:14:57.080 --> 0:14:57.720 back in the day. 0:14:58.320 --> 0:15:03.120 Cool gosh, not sure. 0:15:03.400 --> 0:15:05.680 So I did want to send a We don't do 0:15:05.760 --> 0:15:08.160 shout outs on the radio show, but this is the podcast, 0:15:08.200 --> 0:15:12.480 and this is not really a shout out. But Coach Mack, 0:15:12.840 --> 0:15:17.880 the Coach Mack attack. Who Coach Mack. You don't know 0:15:17.960 --> 0:15:20.080 Coach Mack. Never heard of him? 0:15:20.800 --> 0:15:22.440 Oh man, it's a bad job by you. 0:15:22.640 --> 0:15:30.960 So from Big Timber, Big Timber, Montana. Coach Mack is 0:15:31.000 --> 0:15:33.920 a p one. He used to live in southern California 0:15:34.000 --> 0:15:37.080 and he was a regular loyal minion, a p one 0:15:37.200 --> 0:15:40.720 in the mal Or militia, and Coach Mack ended up 0:15:41.400 --> 0:15:45.600 moving to Big Timber, Montana. 0:15:45.840 --> 0:15:48.240 Wait wait, I do remember this dude from back in 0:15:48.280 --> 0:15:48.640 the day. 0:15:48.760 --> 0:15:50.360 Yeah. Yeah, he used to call the show and he's 0:15:50.360 --> 0:15:53.600 a big fan. He wanted to get out of California 0:15:53.720 --> 0:15:56.760 for because it's California. There's a lot of crazy things 0:15:56.800 --> 0:15:59.280 going on in California he didn't agree with and so 0:15:59.320 --> 0:15:59.760 he knew. 0:15:59.640 --> 0:16:01.440 He couldn't change him. So he's like, I'm going to 0:16:01.480 --> 0:16:02.120 get out of here. 0:16:02.760 --> 0:16:07.400 And he's a coach and he ended up in Montana, 0:16:07.720 --> 0:16:12.880 in Big Timber, Montana, and he is a coach at 0:16:13.080 --> 0:16:18.680 sweet Grass County High School in Big Timber of Montana, 0:16:19.520 --> 0:16:21.840 and he is a big fan of the show and 0:16:21.880 --> 0:16:25.240 on this high school goes back to nineteen o five. 0:16:25.320 --> 0:16:29.040 Imagine what Montana must have been like in nineteen oh five. 0:16:29.640 --> 0:16:31.040 Can only imagine. 0:16:31.080 --> 0:16:33.800 But the reason I bring this up is because coach 0:16:33.920 --> 0:16:36.000 Max said, Hey, I like you guys. I want you 0:16:36.080 --> 0:16:38.360 to I want you to know kind of support my 0:16:38.640 --> 0:16:42.240 school and stuff. He's a coach there, and he sent 0:16:42.360 --> 0:16:47.640 us a gift box filled with hats from the high school. Now, 0:16:47.720 --> 0:16:49.920 normally I'd be like, Okay, it's a high school, why 0:16:49.920 --> 0:16:53.000 would I wear that? But this is one of the coolest, 0:16:53.920 --> 0:16:57.640 the coolest logos in an age where in my lifetime 0:16:57.760 --> 0:17:00.840 we've had the Washington Bullets name canceled because that was 0:17:00.840 --> 0:17:03.000 gonna end gun violence. Can you check to see how 0:17:03.000 --> 0:17:05.320 gun violence is doing in DC since they got rid 0:17:05.320 --> 0:17:06.320 of the Bullet's nickname? 0:17:06.760 --> 0:17:09.840 Is it all gone now? Maybe it is. I don't know. 0:17:10.040 --> 0:17:13.000 They've gotten rid of the Redskins name, the Cleveland Indians name. 0:17:13.280 --> 0:17:15.680 You know, this fixes the world one nickname at a time. 0:17:16.160 --> 0:17:22.359 So the Montana High School, Big the sweet Grass County 0:17:22.440 --> 0:17:30.920 High School. Their mascot is just tremendous. It's just absolutely. 0:17:30.480 --> 0:17:31.840 Tremendo Let me see if I can send this. I 0:17:31.840 --> 0:17:32.640 don't know if you've seen. 0:17:32.440 --> 0:17:32.840 It, Danny. 0:17:32.880 --> 0:17:35.000 I I posted some. 0:17:34.880 --> 0:17:38.480 Photos the other day, But their mascot, I believe they're 0:17:38.520 --> 0:17:39.440 the Sheepherders. 0:17:39.880 --> 0:17:43.440 They're the Sheepherders, and their mascot. 0:17:43.040 --> 0:17:48.280 Danny is an old guy with a beard and an 0:17:48.320 --> 0:17:54.320 old Montana Western hat smoking a pipe is the mascot. 0:17:54.480 --> 0:17:57.639 And it's like, if you did that in California, seven 0:17:57.680 --> 0:18:00.800 people would be fired and they'd bring in therapist for 0:18:00.880 --> 0:18:03.240 the students to look at. I sent you a copy 0:18:03.280 --> 0:18:03.760 of it on. 0:18:03.680 --> 0:18:06.400 Your Oh nice, yeah, yeah, it looks like an old 0:18:06.440 --> 0:18:07.960 gold miner smoking. 0:18:08.359 --> 0:18:10.240 Yeah. Yeah, it's an old guy smoking a pipe. 0:18:10.320 --> 0:18:10.480 You know. 0:18:10.760 --> 0:18:13.720 Just that's that's wrong on so many levels, Danny, that 0:18:13.720 --> 0:18:18.160 that mascot is wrong just about every way you can 0:18:18.240 --> 0:18:20.760 slice a maskcot. So anyway, he was very kind, Coach Mack, 0:18:20.840 --> 0:18:24.320 and he he sent us a gift pack of hats, 0:18:24.440 --> 0:18:27.080 and then he wanted me to give some to Petrols 0:18:27.080 --> 0:18:31.200 some money. But I see Petros maybe once or twice 0:18:31.200 --> 0:18:35.320 a year. Maybe it's very random. Sometimes it'll be a 0:18:35.320 --> 0:18:38.320 Dodger game. Sometimes I'll fill in. Usually once or twice 0:18:38.359 --> 0:18:40.000 a year, I fill in for a guy named Fred 0:18:40.080 --> 0:18:43.399 Rogan or I with Brett.

I big a hog. You know, every 0:18:49.920 --> 0:18:52.119 time I see Petros, we flashed back. We known each 0:18:52.119 --> 0:18:54.119 other for a long time. I've known him since he 0:18:54.160 --> 0:18:56.600 played at USC, so we've known each other a long 0:18:56.640 --> 0:18:57.680 time before he got in the media. 0:18:57.680 --> 0:18:59.800 And I love Petrols and it's always great. 0:19:00.119 --> 0:19:02.840 And we're very similar, like we're around the same age, 0:19:02.880 --> 0:19:03.440 me and Petros. 0:19:03.440 --> 0:19:05.200 We kind of look at sports similar. 0:19:05.240 --> 0:19:07.920 We like sports, but you know we're we like the 0:19:08.240 --> 0:19:09.879 different perspective on things. 0:19:09.920 --> 0:19:13.159 Then, yeah, you both love to bachel lebron and you 0:19:13.240 --> 0:19:15.760 both can suck the joy out of Disneyland. 0:19:16.200 --> 0:19:20.000 Yeah, I don't know what you're talking about. 0:19:20.160 --> 0:19:23.440 I have no idea, but so that's my relationship with Petros. 0:19:23.760 --> 0:19:26.600 So I have some hats. I have a few extra 0:19:26.640 --> 0:19:30.240 hats from Coach Mac and I plan on My intention 0:19:30.400 --> 0:19:32.120 is to leave them in the car and then at 0:19:32.119 --> 0:19:34.679 some point I'll run into Petros and hopefully I'll be 0:19:34.760 --> 0:19:37.920
