Speaker 2: If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes

00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:09,160
Speaker 2: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants

4
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:12,480
Speaker 2: of the old Republic, a soul fashion of fairness. He

5
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the

12
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:44,560
Speaker 1: the center of attention from a certain secret location, far

13
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:47,840
Speaker 1: far away out in the wild blue yonder and there's

14
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 1: a lot of blue. I do see a lot of

15
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 1: blue here in a secret location. As this is the

16
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 1: Bora Fifth Hour podcast. Well I can't afford Bora Borb.

17
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 1: Thanks for bringing that up. But Daddy here we are

18
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 1: back again on a Saturday podcast. We survived the Friday pod,

19
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 1: and that's usually what happens. You survive one, you come

20
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:10,039
Speaker 1: back and do another one. So we'll see how this goes.

21
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:11,959
Speaker 1: And again this is a test because I didn't do

22
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 1: the radio show the last couple of days of the week,

23
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 1: the last three days of the week I was off

24
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 1: from the radio show, so I wasn't promoting this. So

25
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 1: we'll see how we do with the downloads. But it's

26
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 1: been pretty good. If I've often forgotten Danny to send

27
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 1: out a link on I usually send something out on

28
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 1: X yeah to a promoter, but I haven't done that

29
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks, and the downloads have been

30
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 1: pretty good.

31
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna tweet something out from the FSR account

32
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:36,919
Speaker 3: this weekend, because I know you're busy.

33
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 1: My right hand was getting a workout. Yeah all right,

34
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:42,360

39
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 1: I don't think that's a good idea, but anyway, we

Speaker 1: of having the crap made, but it will be available.

00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: about in yesterday's show, Danny that here I am a

60
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 1: middle aged man. I'm still excited about a Jim Healey

61
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 1: ashtray right now. I considered making an ashtray, but I

62
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 1: don't know. There's a keychain. So someday there'll be a

63
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,920
Speaker 1: kid right now who's a child who will grow up

Speaker 1: to follow in my footsteps and radio and we'll have

65
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 1: this keychain.

66
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,079
Speaker 3: You should have did a Mallard pipe can you imagine

67
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 3: Coop walking around the hallways with the one Hey, that

68
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 3: would be so popular. That is a great idea.

69
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 1: Maybe for the holidays we could do.

70
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 3: Finally, glass Blower.

71
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 1: We can call it Benny's Bong, the Mallard Bomb. Yeah.

72
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 3: In fact, there was a glass blower that used to

73
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 3: call up the show when I worked on your Live

74
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 3: Overnight show, and Coop took all his information down because

75
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 3: the guy swore he was gonna mail Coop a package.

76
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I remember that. We had a guy from

77
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 1: someone in the Bahamas. I think they called up. Was

78
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 1: like he was a wee guy and he was gonna

79
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 1: he was gonna to hook up Coop with the weed.

80
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 1: He never that guy disappeared like a Rastafarian guy. He

81
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 1: called up for a while and then he took off.

82
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 3: I don't know what happened to that guy.

83
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 1: Remember the guy in Houston that used to send us

84
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 1: the rings that was great. Yeah, he made Ben Malers

85
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: show rings which was awesome. And I have some ripoff

86
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 1: championship rings from different teams, the Dodgers of course the

87
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 1: twenty twenty ring. And he stopped calling and he still

88
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,039
Speaker 1: sent me the twenty twenty ring. Yeah, he still listens,

89
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 1: say Malard Merch Again, it's not that big, but it's

90
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 1: kind of cool. It's unique. There's only a limited number

91
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 1: of these things made, so it's when they're gone, they're

92
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 1: gone type situation. I'm not sure how much they're gonna

93
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 1: a couple of bucks, but if you go to the

94
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 1: Mallar meet and greet, you'll be able to get that.

95
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 1: So if you're interested in Vegas, August third, at the

96
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:54,919
Speaker 1: stakeout in Vegas, just near UNLV and we'll have a

97
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 1: great time. So me at Julio. I've had a lot

98
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 1: of requests for more details on what happened Danny, and

99
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 1: so I'll use it right now here on this podcast.

100
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 1: I will stoop so low as to flash back in

101
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 1: the hot tub time machine. But several of you have said,

102
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 1: how did this happen? So let's go back to the

103
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 1: holiday weekend back on July fourth. And if you missed

104
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 1: it because you actually have a life and you were

105
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 1: not listening, it was just a random holiday show. So

106
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 1: that means no, Eddie, Eddie wasn't there, Coop wasn't there.

107
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:30,159
Speaker 1: Just random chat whatever. And this guy calls up Julio

108
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 1: from LA and so put the guy on. He starts

109
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:39,600
Speaker 1: busting my chops. He's goofing on the clippers and all that,

110
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 1: and then he says he likes the show a lot,

111
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:46,040
Speaker 1: but he really misses Roberto. Like all right, well that's fine.

112
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 1: And then he's like, well, why did Roberto leave the show?

113
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 1: Why is Roberto? Why'd you get rid of Roberto? You know,

114
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:54,359
Speaker 1: He's like accusing me of getting rid of Roberto. So

115
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,840
Speaker 1: I'm like, well, I didn't get rid of Roberto. Roberto

116
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: quit the show. He didn't want to work here anymore.

117
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 1: He quit the show would become a bus ruck, right,

118
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:07,599
Speaker 1: And so it turns out that that was Roberto. He

119
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 1: was doing a phony phone called Danny. It was a

120
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:16,719
Speaker 1: phony phone call from Roberto, and he didn't sound like him.

121
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 1: He had just had a bit too much to drink.

122
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 1: I don't know. He had a higher pitched voice than

123
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:26,280
Speaker 1: I remember. And it was weird because Loreno was there

124
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 1: and she wouldn't know who Roberto is because she replaced him. Well,

125
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 1: I was saying, but she wasn't there when Roberto was

126
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 1: working at the company.

127
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 3: So she would know who he is. And Coop didn't

128
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 3: answer the phone.

129
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 1: Well, he wasn't even there. It was Ian and Ian

130
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,600
Speaker 1: was Roberto has been gone so long? Ian who was

131
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 1: filling in Ian Roddy the producer, and he not Roddy

132
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 1: Roddy Piper Ian Roddy and then Brian Finley. Brian Finley

133
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,039
Speaker 1: was there, and of course he was. He didn't know who,

134
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 1: you know, you know what was going on. You know,

135
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:03,799
Speaker 1: he he's zoned out eating some whatever, twig whatever nonsense.

136
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 1: He's eating, you know, vegetables or whatever. So really sounded

137
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 1: different and it was him. I would also like to

138
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 1: point out I did reach out to Roberto about coming

139
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 1: on the podcast. He says he'll do it. He was

140
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 1: unavailable at the times we wanted to get him on,

141
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 1: said he couldn't do it. Got stuff going.

142
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 3: On big time, isn't you.

143
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 1: I know? The wheels on the bus turned round and round.

144
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 1: The wheels on the bus turned round and round. He

145
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 1: did complain though, Danny, that the La Unified School District

146
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 1: gave him a bus that does not have air conditioning

147
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 1: in the one hundred degree weather in the San Fernando

148
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 1: Valley in Los Angeles.

149
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 3: I'd rather take cockroaches and really strong AC over a

150
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 3: bus with no AC.

151
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:53,239
Speaker 1: At this point, the cockroaches Danny. It's it's like we're

152
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 1: working at an exotic zoo at this point. The cockroaches

153
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 1: are that big. They really are they really ah, this

154
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 1: is like Jurassic Park sized cockroaches. They run the company.

155
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 1: They really do run the building anyway, They run the building.

156
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 1: So there is that, and so it was good to

157
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 1: hear from Roberto. I did not expect that. And I'm

158
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 1: also upset with myself because I'm usually pretty good at

159
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 1: detecting the phony phone calls, been pretty good about that

160
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 1: over the years on this one. Did not figure it out.

161
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 1: Did not figure it out. So I guess you could say,

162
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 1: go f yourself, San Diego to me is what you

163
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 1: can say.

164
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I actually have a famous drop from you saying that,

165
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 3: go f yourself, San Diego. Do you remember that? And

166
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,440
Speaker 3: then we would play it sometimes in San Diego. Callers

167
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 3: would call in and be like, I didn't appreciate that.

168
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 1: That must have been when I was ranting about the

169
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 1: Padres or something. Yeah, I believe so, San Diego.

170
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, because you know what we have in common

171
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:55,719
Speaker 3: as Dodger fans, boy do Padre fans annoy us. I'll

172
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,199
Speaker 3: get to that in a second. So you know, haven't

173
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 3: been to San Diego in a couple of years, and

174
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 3: you probably know why. What's between us and San Diego there.

175
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 1: Is a roadblock. It's a nuclear power plant which is

176
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:13,080
Speaker 1: not activated and a military base which is a freakin' nightmare. Yes,

177
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 1: that you It should take about thirty five minutes to

178
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:19,439
Speaker 1: go through that stretch, you would say, is that fair?

179
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 1: About thirty five to forty minutes maybe to go through? Yeah,

180
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:25,079
Speaker 1: it takes an hour and a half to two hours, right.

181
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 3: Ye, That stretch past Camp Pendleton is death. It's a

182
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 3: couple hours just sitting there, bumper to bumper. So a

183
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:35,559
Speaker 3: lot of us just avoid going to San Diego unfortunately,

184
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:40,079
Speaker 3: beautiful city, amazing weather. In fact, that's why my better

185
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 3: half suggested, Hey, we got a day here for the holiday,

186
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,559
Speaker 3: let's go to San Diego. We'll just take off early

187
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 3: in the morning. So that's what we did. As I

188
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 3: was producing the podcast to get it out to the world,

189
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:55,559
Speaker 3: my wife he was packing our bags and so I finished,

190
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 3: I packed the computer, got in the car, boom, We're

191
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:02,319
Speaker 3: on the road. It was actually okay going there because

192
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 3: it was a holiday morning where I think people were

193
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 3: kind of already to their destinations. So we lucked out.

194
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 3: We get to San Diego. Checking into the hotel was

195
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 3: a whole nother situation though, because the city was way

196
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 3: overcrowded for the Fourth of July weekend, long weekend holiday,

197
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 3: so many damn people, and we kind of make our

198
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 3: way through all the long lines to get into the room.

199
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 3: And now the first stop on the Garadelli family trip SeaWorld.

200
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 3: Visited SeaWorld.

201
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:38,679
Speaker 1: God I was I was a little kid, famous story

202
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,319
Speaker 1: in my family. My mom took us kids to sea

203
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 1: World and we were sitting waiting for shamou and a

204
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 1: seagull like I think it was some bird shit on

205
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:52,959
Speaker 1: my mom's hat. Why don't you help yourself? And it

206
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 1: was like it was like a direct hit, and it

207
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 1: was we were as kids. You know, when you're a kid,

208
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 1: it's the funniest thing in the world, right, Danny, You're like, oh,

209
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:03,559
Speaker 1: oh man, that's like the greatest thing ever. I still

210
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:06,079
Speaker 1: remember that. And of course, when I worked in San

211
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,560
Speaker 1: Diego at the mighty six ninety we got all it

212
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 1: was at Pacific Coast Highway, but SeaWorld Drive was the

213
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,679
Speaker 1: off ram. But I've not been a SeaWorld. I mean,

214
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 1: I didn't even know it was still open.

215
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,559
Speaker 3: Well here's what they did. I'm not sure how many

216
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 3: years ago the transition began, but half of it is

217
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:25,200
Speaker 3: roller coaster rides and excitement like that. The other half

218
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 3: is marine biology and rescuing animals because after the backlash

219
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 3: from that documentary about Shamou and Wales being in captivity,

220
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:39,439
Speaker 3: then they pivoted, pivot, they pivoted, and so now it's

221
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 3: all about rescue and thrill rides there. They've done a

222
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:44,840
Speaker 3: great job at that park. So I got to give

223
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 3: SeaWorld a lot of credit for the way the park

224
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,959
Speaker 3: is right now. In twenty twenty four, we took a

225
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 3: big baby CoA to see big baby Belugas. One came

226
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,200
Speaker 3: right up to the glass and looked them in the face.

227
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 3: It's nice, Yeah, it wanted to see him and a

228
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,720
Speaker 3: couple other little kids right there at the glass. That

229
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:05,679
Speaker 3: was really cool. And then we took him to a

230
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 3: dolphin show. Superhumid that day. It was like eighty nine

231
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:12,680
Speaker 3: percent humidity in San Diego, which is odd for that city.

232
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 3: But we had like one of those handheld fans and

233
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 3: I had it on CoA like he was a prince

234
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:21,320
Speaker 3: the whole time. During the dolphin show. Who me get

235
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 3: back to the hotel, sleep it off. Next day, go

236
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 3: to the San Diego Zoo because we wanted to cram

237
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 3: as much stuff into a couple of days as we could.

238
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 3: Go into the San Diego Zoo again, Ben another amazing

239
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 3: place in that city because not only do they have

240
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:42,559
Speaker 3: really large are they exhibits, enclosures what would you call

241
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 3: it where the animals all have their space.

242
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:49,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, you have the reptile section, yeah, yeah,

243
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 1: the monkeys.

244
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, they renovated the big area for the elephants. Yeah.

245
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 3: And so those enclosures in San Diego, it's much different

246
00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 3: from the La Zoo. The LA Zoo is way smaller.

247
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 3: A little bit sad when you're in the l A

248
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 3: Zoo because it doesn't feel like the animals have enough

249
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 3: room to roam. Not the case in San Diego, and

250
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 3: so they got a lot of room for themselves. We

251
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,680
Speaker 3: saw an orangutang. He came up to the window and

252
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 3: he ship right in front of Cola.

253
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:22,959
Speaker 1: All right, nice that, Yeah, that's what I do.

254
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:28,440
Speaker 3: CoA clapped and I'm like, that is your ancestor, for

255
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:34,440
Speaker 3: sure you It was awesome. And they have buses that

256
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 3: will take you around the zoo there, props to them.

257
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 3: One of the best zoos in California for sure, hands down,

258
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:42,439
Speaker 3: and one of the.

259
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 1: One of the great zoos in the entire country. Yeah,

260
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,679
Speaker 1: it's it's voted one of the top zoos in the country.

261
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 1: And it's great and a little better than the Bronx Zoo,

262
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 1: a little better than the zoo, and I consider it.

263
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:55,839
Speaker 1: It's not in Burbank, but it's Burbank adjacent the l

264
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:59,319
Speaker 1: A Zoo because it's in Griffith Park right, it's right

265
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:01,319
Speaker 1: next to Bourbank. So that's what I think. And then

266
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 1: have you been to the Wild Animal Park?

267
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 3: No, haven't been there yet. I think that'll be the

268
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 3: next time, in two more years from now that we

269
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 3: get back to San Diego again. Going super early in

270
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:13,680
Speaker 3: the morning, we were in the car I'm not kidding you,

271
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,200
Speaker 3: at like five forty five am because we weren't taking

272
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 3: any chances. It paid off. After the awesome experience at

273
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 3: the zoo, we get back to the hotel and that

274
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 3: night the padres we're gonna shoot off fireworks for what

275
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 3: they called a Star Wars fireworks extravaganza. All right, nice, Now,

276
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 3: we couldn't exactly hear the music coming out of the stadium.

277
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 3: But from our hotel room window you could see the stadium,

278
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 3: so we're thinking, oh, free fireworks show. You know, we

279
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 3: get to see whatever they're seeing at the ballpark. Yeah,

280
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 3: and we're waiting around for the game to end. Of course,

281
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 3: it goes into extra innings that night the Diamondbacks beat them,

282
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 3: so me and my wife are giving each other a

283
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 3: high five, like, you know, petty, Dodger fans understand why

284
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 3: Dodger fans feel this way about the Padres. Here's why.

285
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 3: The day we were at the zoo, I was wearing

286
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 3: my Otani shirt. We saw so many ugly brown Padres

287
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 3: gear that day. And what do you think they did

288
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 3: when they saw my Dodger blue Otani shirt. They busted

289
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 3: your balls, busted my boss gave your thumbs down. One

290
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 3: lady was like with her thumb down. These Padre fans

291
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 3: are so vocal you would think that they're like a

292
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 3: five time World Series champion team. They are not okay,

293
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 3: my Padre horrible, but they are very uh, you know

294
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 3: what's the word, very boastful.

295
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 1: Did they say, hey, we beat you in the wildcard

296
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 1: rad we own you.

297
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 3: They like to mix it up. So even at the hotel,

298
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 3: I saw some Padre fans and they were giving me

299
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 3: the thumbs down and all that. But now I'm downstairs

300
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 3: grabbing us some dinner because we have about twenty minutes

301
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 3: until the fire fireworks show begins. They lose an extra innings.

302
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 3: I'm doing a victory lap in my Otani shirt. I

303
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 3: run across probably eight nine ten different Padres fans as

304
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 3: I walked through the marina to get back to my hotel,

305
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 3: and now I get to give it back to them.

306
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 1: Go f yourself, San Diego.

307
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 3: And I said, and don't miss the fireworks show that's

308
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 3: gonna happen in a few minutes to celebrate your loss.

309
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 3: And a couple of them smiled. Other ones were, you know,

310
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 3: giving me the business. But it was so fun because

311
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 3: I did get to do a victory lap and then

312
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 3: the fireworks shot off. Yeah, I was so wonderful. Ben,

313
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 3: go f yourself, San Diego.

314
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 1: There you go, go f yourself, San Diego. The Padres

315
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 1: and I used to go to those games day back

316
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 1: to the Murph Jack Murphy Stadium when I worked in

317
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 1: San Diego. I would go out there for the Thursday

318
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 1: Businessman specials and This was during one of the many

319
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 1: fire sales the padres used to have all the time.

320
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 1: And I recall I've told the so before I buy

321
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 1: the cheapest ticket I could get, and then by the

322
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 1: second inning I would be sitting either behind the podre

323
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:09,879
Speaker 1: dugout or behind the visiting dugout because I could do

324
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 1: whatever I wanted.

325
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 3: I mean, there was no one there.

326
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:14,960
Speaker 1: It was like being in an Oakland A's game right now.

327
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 3: They do have a nice stadium there now, that pet

328
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:19,160
Speaker 3: Coo Park is pretty amazing.

329
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:21,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's a pretty cool as long as.

330
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 3: They lose at the end of the game.

331
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 1: Thing there downtowns, it's hard to keep people away from

332
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 1: the like the fireworks shows cool and stuff. But like

333
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:31,679
Speaker 1: you could have just put on Amazon music or whatever, Danny, right,

334
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:34,240
Speaker 1: you could have put the Star Wars theme on and

335
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 1: just crafted ourselves. Yeah, do it yourself, Yeah, d I

336
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 1: y all right. Moving on in that, we have the

337
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 1: MENSA meeting. Another great moment in raded. This is one

338
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 1: of the things I love about live radio that you

339
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:49,199
Speaker 1: can't do on a podcast. So we had over the

340
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 1: holiday weekend, we had hollering James call up fast Asleep.

341
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 3: Of course, as always.

342
00:17:56,119 --> 00:18:00,440
Speaker 1: And Marcel and I had a conversation between mar Sell

343
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:04,439
Speaker 1: and hollering James. This really was a mensa meeting and

344
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:06,200
Speaker 1: if you heard it, it's one of the great moments.

345
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,639
Speaker 1: I hope it's on the year end show. I told people,

346
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 1: I said, listen, you people, this thing's got to be

347
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:14,080
Speaker 1: on the year end show. This is one of the

348
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:15,640
Speaker 1: great moments we've done on the show. I know it's

349
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 1: only July and there's a lot of time left between

350
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 1: now and the end of the year, but hollering James

351
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:23,679
Speaker 1: was sleeping. Marcel always says, can you He wants to

352
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 1: do this bit where he puts another caller on the

353
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 1: air and all this stuff. So I was like, oh,

354
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 1: I'll appease Marcel, so I put him on with James.

355
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:35,160
Speaker 1: I would then put Marcel on hold. I then went

356
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:37,679
Speaker 1: back to James. I would say something Marcel said, and

357
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 1: then James would snore, and then I would come back

358
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 1: to Marcell and said and I would I would say,

359
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 1: here's what holler and James said, and then Marcell would

360
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 1: respond to it, right, because you keep responding to it.

361
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 1: So then I would go back to hollering James. And

362
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:53,359
Speaker 1: we did this seesaw type of thing, and it was.

363
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 3: It was a lot of fun.

364
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:56,120
Speaker 1: I'd agree. I hope you enjoy a lot of people

365
00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:57,920
Speaker 1: seem to enjoy it based on the feedback I got

366
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:00,119
Speaker 1: on the email bag, So you guys seem to like

367
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 1: it a lot. And James, that is his superpower. Yes,

368
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:06,640
Speaker 1: that is his superpower. It's one of the more enjoyable

369
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,399
Speaker 1: segments I've done in years, going back and forth with

370
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:12,880
Speaker 1: Holler and James and Marcel. And you can't do that

371
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:14,880
Speaker 1: kind of thing on a podcast. The podcast is great

372
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:18,359
Speaker 1: because we are on vacation somewhere far far away in

373
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 1: the boondocks. You can do a podcast. It's easy to

374
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:23,240
Speaker 1: do it. You don't need to have all this equipment

375
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 1: and all that stuff like a radio show. But at

376
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 1: the same time, there's some things that you can't do

377
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:30,680
Speaker 1: on a podcast that you can't do on a radio show.

378
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:34,919
Speaker 1: So it's just the reality of the world. Now, moving

379
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 1: on from that, we have turning the page. Kids say

380
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:43,399
Speaker 1: the Darnedest Things. The Uncle Benny addition, not to be

381
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 1: confused with other editions of kids say the Darnedest things.

382
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:51,640
Speaker 1: This is totally separate here, Dan, all right, so took

383
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:55,440
Speaker 1: my niece and nephew out to a nice bonding tell

384
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:59,920
Speaker 1: me me my wife, of course, the aunt, the ton

385
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,639
Speaker 1: as she's called. So I took the niece and nephew

386
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:07,119
Speaker 1: out for a trip to Hollywood in the Wood in Hollywood,

387
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 1: it was my niece's birthday. Recently she's now the Crazy eights,

388
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:14,440
Speaker 1: So happy birthday to my.

389
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 3: Niece and she.

390
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 1: Gets to pick something for her birthday. She said she

391
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 1: wanted to go to the Funko Pop Store in Hollywood.

392
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 1: Have you ever been to the Funko Pop store in Hollywood, Danny, No.

393
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 3: But I have a couple of Funko Pops at home

394
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 3: on my memorabilia shelf.

395
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 1: So co is a little too young for this. I

396
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:35,680
Speaker 1: would wait a couple of years. It's amazing though. It's

397
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:40,120
Speaker 1: like going to Disneyland. Oh, I bet it's insane. I

398
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:42,440
Speaker 1: did not know what to expect when I went in there,

399
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:46,959
Speaker 1: and I was blown away by what I saw. Just

400
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 1: they nailed it. Free to get in there, of course

401
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 1: you end up spending a bunch of money. You can

402
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 1: make your own custom made Funko Pop, which is what

403
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 1: my niece wanted. And so that was the highlight. That

404
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:01,439
Speaker 1: was the main event. We had a fun trip. We

405
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:04,879
Speaker 1: went to my favorite Mexican place in La el Coyote

406
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 1: on Beverly. I used to live right near there, eat

407
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:10,639
Speaker 1: some Mexican food. That was where Sharon Tate had her

408
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 1: final meal, killed by the Manson family. They actually have

409
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 1: a little drawing of her out in front of the restaurant.

410
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:20,399
Speaker 1: That's a long time ago. Anyway, the kids get to

411
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 1: the point. Please the kids say, of the darnest things.

412
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:27,920
Speaker 1: My five year old nephew who was tagging along because

413
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 1: why not. His big sister was going, so he had

414
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 1: to go with. So my five year old nephew, Jude,

415
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:36,400
Speaker 1: and on the way going to La and a little

416
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:40,679
Speaker 1: bonding Aunt and uncle kids bonding. Why not? And we

417
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 1: get off the one to one freeway in La La,

418
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 1: land in La and immediately we are transformed in a portal,

419
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 1: not the transfer portal, but a portal, and we are

420
00:21:54,119 --> 00:22:00,600
Speaker 1: dropped in to Dante's inferno. It looks like the Tenderloin

421
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:05,879
Speaker 1: district in San Francisco, but we're in La shanty town. USA.

422
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 1: Looks like a third world country. There's tens over here,

423
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:12,359
Speaker 1: which is people are down, like the people in tents

424
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:16,399
Speaker 1: on the sidewalk there's zombies half naked walking around like

425
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:19,360
Speaker 1: you'd seen in the Tenderloin district. There's a flophouse here,

426
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 1: there's a rat hole over there. So get to the

427
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 1: main event. My nephew, now I did not prod him

428
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 1: on this. My nephew looks out the window, sees the

429
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:35,920
Speaker 1: hard scrabble streets of La, the vagrants walking through the feces,

430
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 1: the uror in the trash, and he says, without flinching,

431
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,159
Speaker 1: he says to me, is this a junkyard?

432
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 3: How do you ever walk by a homeless person and

433
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:49,880
Speaker 3: ask yourself what can one person really do to.

434
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:55,399
Speaker 1: Help five year old kid? Is this a junkyard? He

435
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:57,960
Speaker 1: didn't know what homeless people are. He doesn't know any

436
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:02,400
Speaker 1: of that, That's what he said. Doubt you can thank

437
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:07,120
Speaker 1: your politicians for not keeping track of any lines, any

438
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 1: laws or anything like that. So that that was my

439
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 1: tail with my nephew. Moving on and we have the

440
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 1: fun facts up hit the fun fun fact for fact

441

447
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:49,360
Speaker 1: is ten ten times less. It's not ten, but ten

448
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:52,680
Speaker 1: times less than the number of people beaten by other

449
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:57,440
Speaker 1: human beings in New York. That is my fun And

450

00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 1: other people in New York.

454
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:14,639
Speaker 3: Now, are those hickeyes or like a bite trying to

464
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 3: I believe it. Yeah, we have sharp teeth for a reason.

465
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:53,479
Speaker 1: That is similar to the percentage. You know, the numbers

466
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:56,639
Speaker 1: on people that go to rehab, and how if you

467
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,440
Speaker 1: go to rehab, usually you have to go to rehab

468
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:03,440
Speaker 1: multiple time because it's very difficult to overcome the demons,

469
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:07,119
Speaker 1: you know, and all that, and so I think that's

470
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:11,680
Speaker 1: around the same percent. So whether you're getting off meet,

471
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 1: you're trying to stay off Meet, or stay off drugs,

472
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:17,440
Speaker 1: the success rate is about the same. It's about the same.

473
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 1: Are we have the idiom of the week? Are you

474
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:23,359
Speaker 1: ready for the idiom of the week? The off the

475
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:28,160
Speaker 1: week idium of the week is the witching hour when

476
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 1: I'm on the radio, not you, Danny, you'res during the day,

477
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:32,160
Speaker 1: but when I'm on the radio, it's the witching hour.

478
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:37,880
Speaker 1: The phrase witching hour the idiom began at least as

479
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:41,399
Speaker 1: early as seventeen to seventy five. It is credited to

480
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 1: a poem that was the Internet before the Internet poems

481
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:51,960
Speaker 1: night an Ode. It was called by Reverend Matthew Wesh

482
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:54,360
Speaker 1: was his name. I believe it's an odd name. Oh,

483
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:58,879
Speaker 1: Matthew West. That makes more sense. Matthew West. Wesh Matthew West.

484
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 1: He's dead, so he get upset with us. But the

485
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 1: origin actually goes back further than that. But the seventeen

486
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 1: seventy five is when it kind of became more out

487
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:11,920
Speaker 1: there with that poem. But it goes back even further

488
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 1: to the fifteen hundreds when the Catholic Church prohibited activities

489
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:20,879
Speaker 1: during the three am and four am time frame because

490
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:26,359
Speaker 1: they were they were fearing that witchcraft was taking over

491
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:29,160
Speaker 1: in Europe, that the witches were out at that time

492
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:31,480
Speaker 1: between three and four am. So people think the witching

493
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 1: hours at midnight, and most people do think of it

494
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 1: as midnight, but back in the fifteen hundreds, it was

495
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:40,640
Speaker 1: between three and four am that time period. They were

496
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:47,119
Speaker 1: afraid witchcraft in Europe, worried about that. Now the term

497
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 1: even goes back further. It goes back to medieval Europe

498
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 1: when people were freaking out about witches and there they

499
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 1: thought that Harry Potter was real. They were convinced of that.

500
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:05,679
Speaker 1: And according to the Celtic folklore, which has gathered to

501
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:09,440
Speaker 1: practice magic and conduct rituals at midnight on the eve

502
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 1: of the Sabbath. And so that's that's all tied together.

503
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:18,200
Speaker 1: The witching hour, which is either three to four am

504
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:22,200
Speaker 1: or midnight to one am on the eve of the Sabbath.

505
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:24,440
Speaker 1: We'll get out on that, Danny, it's Saturday. Anything you

Speaker 1: Yeah, and they said, each of us get a bonus.
