But you did survive two 15 00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:10,679 Speaker 1: nights in the Madhouse, so it was most I don't 16 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:14,000 Speaker 1: know when I'm sleeping, when I'm awake, when I'm eating dinner, 17 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,279 Speaker 1: And it's funny at the geat Household, I was eating 18 00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:21,320 Speaker 1: dinner at eight thirty pm every night before I went 19 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,320 Speaker 1: into your show. At first, it was gonna be like 20 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,880 Speaker 1: my tinder RONI said, well, I'll make your dinner at 21 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 1: eight thirty. The rest of us are going to eat 22 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:32,039 Speaker 1: at six thirty. Oh my guy, that's cool. But I 23 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 1: get down there the first night at eight thirty and 24 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:38,480 Speaker 1: everybody's eating. It was like that the next night to 25 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 1: at nine pm. People were still roaming around the kitchen eating. Wow. 26 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 1: Kind of a grazing situation here, you know, now you 27 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,040 Speaker 1: know later I like it. I like it, got a 28 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 1: bonus dinner at my pad. Solid Ben. You don't get 29 00:01:53,960 --> 00:02:01,880 Speaker 1: enough credit for the hours that you live. Yeah, it's 30 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 1: just it's all a blurred in it. It's all a blur. 31 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 1: But I still maintain. And you did mornings for a while, 32 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 1: like to me, the worst schedule I've done the full 33 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:12,639 Speaker 1: cycle and radio. I think you have to where you 34 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 1: do the whole every day part twenty four hours in 35 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:19,919 Speaker 1: the in the day. But for me having to get up, 36 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 1: like to go to bed early and get up to 37 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,360 Speaker 1: do a morning show. I did that for a year. 38 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:29,400 Speaker 1: It was dreadful. It was so bad. I tried to 39 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 1: make it an overnight show and I tried to stay up. 40 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:33,359 Speaker 1: I've told the story before, but I tried to stay 41 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 1: up to like thirty eleven in the morning and it 42 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:37,919 Speaker 1: just and then I go to bed. I figured, I 43 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,840 Speaker 1: go to bed like like eleven o'clock and sleep until 44 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 1: six and then do it all over again, and it 45 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 1: just it just ate at me. It was just brutal. 46 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 1: It's funny you say that because when your show was 47 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 1: ending on Tuesday and Wednesday, the morning crew obviously comes 48 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,920 Speaker 1: in after us, after the Ben Mallor show and Day 49 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 1: or Dragon Ass the second day especially, and I heard 50 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,920 Speaker 1: someone in the hallway say, oh my god, it was 51 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,919 Speaker 1: so hard to get out of bed today, And so 52 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 1: you're right. You hear that a lot from morning crews. Obviously, 53 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 1: once they're into their first hour or maybe the second hour, 54 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,920 Speaker 1: they've had a little bit of coffee and they're getting awake. 55 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,640 Speaker 1: But yeah, that is a very tough schedule to do 56 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,919 Speaker 1: every day, every day of the week. Yeah, the very 57 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 1: bleary eyed the morning guys when they come in there. 58 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,519 Speaker 1: I saw, I felt bad for LaVar erything. And this 59 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,400 Speaker 1: guy's at a stud in the NFL back in the day. 60 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:35,720 Speaker 1: Now he's doing mornings. He's coming in there and he's like, 61 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 1: oh what am I dough? And I goes like a zombie. 62 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 1: He speaking of LaVar after doing post production for your show. 63 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 1: I left about five am West Coast time, and as 64 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,440 Speaker 1: I'm leaving, I waved to those guys goodbye. And I 65 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:55,120 Speaker 1: just see this huge boat up on the counter, crusty boat. 66 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,720 Speaker 1: It was LaVar's bare foot Oh is that right? He's 67 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 1: just kind of reason of a Klein situation. Looked like 68 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 1: we had an eagle in the studio. Yeah, you gotta 69 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 1: be careful because there was and I don't know I 70 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 1: should reveal the name here, I probably not. But years ago, 71 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 1: and I think before you were at Fox Sports Radio, 72 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:19,720 Speaker 1: there was a NFL coach who was working there who 73 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 1: leaned back, put his feet up on the table and 74 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,680 Speaker 1: then fell over, like passed out in the chair in 75 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:30,920 Speaker 1: the in the Studio's crazy, yeah, wild story, But I 76 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:32,600 Speaker 1: mean it's all of a sudden, It's like, wait a minute, 77 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 1: what's going on. No, he's all right, he's fine. I 78 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:40,719 Speaker 1: mean he was. He was down for the count for 79 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 1: that day. I don't think he continued his show, Danny. 80 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 1: I think that was the end of the show and 81 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,280 Speaker 1: he said, that's it, I'm done, get me out of here. 82 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 1: Got a murder gotta go. So on this Saturday podcast, 83 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 1: The Life and Times of Mallard and Danny g We've 84 00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 1: got ringing up, Charlie Horse Winner, part tactical error and backscratcher. 85 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 1: That's a lot of content, never that on this show. 86 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 1: And mc hammer used to say, let's get it started, hammertime, 87 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 1: all right. Now, I spent last weekend kind of gets 88 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:18,760 Speaker 1: caught up on stuff that I do when I'm not 89 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:23,800 Speaker 1: barking into a microphone about Deshaun Watson junk. But I 90 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,680 Speaker 1: spent my weekend going to part of my weekend going 91 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:32,479 Speaker 1: to various jewelry stores around southern California. As we continue 92 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:36,040 Speaker 1: now the Wild Goose Chase. All of this in an 93 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:40,680 Speaker 1: effort Danny to find the replacement band. In a previous episode, 94 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:43,279 Speaker 1: I had told the story, if you remember, if you 95 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,840 Speaker 1: heard that podcast, the tale of making the taij Ma 96 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 1: Hall of Sand Castles at a beautiful beach in southern California. However, 97 00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 1: in my haste to build the towers with my young cousin, 98 00:05:56,440 --> 00:06:00,480 Speaker 1: I my ring was buried at sea. And it's been 99 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,919 Speaker 1: a while and still no no wing ring. I have 100 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:07,800 Speaker 1: a backup, I'm not wearing it because that also falls off. 101 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 1: So I went to a couple of jewelry stores and 102 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 1: I got my ring finger. I got fitted to find 103 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,680 Speaker 1: out what size I have as a ring, which I 104 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 1: didn't know. I guess my ring that I had before 105 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:21,919 Speaker 1: is a little too big, which probably explains why it 106 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 1: came flying off playing insane. But a few observations here 107 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 1: that I learned things I picked up from my weekend 108 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 1: shopping with the wife. So, uh. These were a couple 109 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:38,919 Speaker 1: of big jewelry stores, one of them very well known, 110 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 1: another one more of a local place, but they're popular 111 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 1: on the internet and they sell rings all over the country. 112 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 1: So I go in here and you walk into it, 113 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:50,520 Speaker 1: and I don't spend a lot of time at jewelry stores. 114 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 1: It's not how I rolled. But I I go in 115 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 1: there and I'm like, oh my god, this place is 116 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 1: gonna be the greatest, right. It's like the Costco of jewelry. 117 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:02,680 Speaker 1: It's like everywhere you look, uh, there's cases displaying all 118 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 1: these different jewelry. So that this person greets you the 119 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 1: door and I'm like, what do you need and maybe 120 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 1: a little small talk. Well I lost my my wedding 121 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 1: ring and said okay, uh, and then he points to 122 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 1: the very far corner of this massive warehouse like it's 123 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 1: like the size of a seemed like a football field, 124 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 1: and he points over to the corner in the very back. 125 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 1: He says, that's where you need to go. So I 126 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:32,240 Speaker 1: said okay, and I walked over there and this massive store. 127 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 1: There was one and a half cases of men's wedding bands. 128 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 1: Everything else was for women or I don't know, but 129 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:46,360 Speaker 1: it was only like a case and a half, so 130 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:50,240 Speaker 1: there were not many options. And and we looked and 131 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 1: there was some stuff that kind of it all kind 132 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,680 Speaker 1: of looked the same. And so my my wife had 133 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 1: actually found something that looked pretty pretty good online, but 134 00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,760 Speaker 1: you never know online, You never really know online. But 135 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 1: they claimed they had this great return policy, so we 136 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 1: ended up getting that and since nothing clicked on the store, 137 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 1: we we decided to ring it up. And we did 138 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 1: ring it up. And I also did take advice of 139 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:20,040 Speaker 1: our buddy Adrian, who's a super fan of the show. 140 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 1: Adrian's the guy that went to Disneyland with his family 141 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 1: and had shirts with our like the Mallard name on it, 142 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:29,000 Speaker 1: which crazy, but Adrian in Denver, he did advise buying 143 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 1: some of those like silicone rings of people the gym. 144 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah. So so my plan is that I'll 145 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 1: probably end up wearing those a lot. Most of the 146 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:43,640 Speaker 1: time I'm not doing something that I might use my 147 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 1: hands with. But then for like a nice night out 148 00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:49,240 Speaker 1: or you know, when I'm not doing anything physical, I'll 149 00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 1: probably wear the actual actual ring. But that's if it's good. 150 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 1: I might end up returning it. I don't know, might 151 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,000 Speaker 1: it might blow. You have no idea. I have no 152 00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,560 Speaker 1: idea because you see, you see photos of stuff online. 153 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 1: You don't know until you got to me. You gotta 154 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,040 Speaker 1: hold it, you gotta look at it. You don't know 155 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 1: now in your opinion, why is the selection for men 156 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:11,280 Speaker 1: so crappy? Is it just because the whole engagement thing 157 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 1: is for women? Really? Yeah, well, my theory on that is, yeah, 158 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 1: guys don't give a rat's ass, right, They just want 159 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 1: to get in and out. They're like, okay, I'm signing 160 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 1: the contract. That's it's not who cares. And most most 161 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:32,720 Speaker 1: men's rings are either gold, silver, or black. Yeah, I 162 00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 1: don't know if there's any variation. I didn't see any 163 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:41,080 Speaker 1: variation other than that for wedding bands. With my copious 164 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:44,320 Speaker 1: you know, minutes long walking through the one case and 165 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:49,840 Speaker 1: a half case of wedding rings, but yeah, so it's yeah, 166 00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 1: women and there's they were like chains, and I mean 167 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:54,160 Speaker 1: they all kinds out of the jewelry. It wasn't just rings, 168 00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:58,160 Speaker 1: but it was mostly rings. What's interesting is that as guys, 169 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:01,199 Speaker 1: I mean, we grew up with run DMC and big 170 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 1: gold rope chains, and you know, for a moment there 171 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:09,200 Speaker 1: a lot of dudes had Mr T Starter sets and 172 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:11,440 Speaker 1: you know, some guys still try to go with that look. 173 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:16,560 Speaker 1: I guess, come on, pimping, get your tim's off. But well, 174 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:20,079 Speaker 1: at the gym in in Glendale, they got I used 175 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,280 Speaker 1: to work out there in southern California. Here a lot 176 00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:25,680 Speaker 1: of dudes with the like the one gold chain, what 177 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:30,000 Speaker 1: up bro? A lot of of action. You would think 178 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,040 Speaker 1: there would be even maybe a small market for men's 179 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:35,840 Speaker 1: rings that had a lot of bling to them. Yeah, 180 00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:38,320 Speaker 1: so I I got something. It has a little pop 181 00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,600 Speaker 1: to it. I thought, why not? You know the other 182 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:41,920 Speaker 1: one didn't have much pop to it. This is that 183 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,360 Speaker 1: little pop to it. So we'll see if I actually 184 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,200 Speaker 1: end up liking it. So that is the tale of 185 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:54,520 Speaker 1: ringing up as far as the Charlie Horse. So, yeah, 186 00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:56,640 Speaker 1: this is not really big news, but since it's the 187 00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:59,720 Speaker 1: podcast and for some reason, people seem to be interested 188 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,880 Speaker 1: in this off this past week at the Mallard Mansion, 189 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,559 Speaker 1: and we've had we've had some a C issues. It's 190 00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 1: getting that time of the year, although usually in l 191 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:12,960 Speaker 1: A it's the June gloom and then it gets hot 192 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:16,600 Speaker 1: in July and August and really September, like August, September 193 00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:18,920 Speaker 1: is the hottest time of the year, but it's supposed 194 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 1: to get June hot around here. So I was holding 195 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 1: down fort the fort over there at the Mallard Mansion. 196 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:28,760 Speaker 1: My wife had scheduled a friend of the family to 197 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 1: come check out the air condition and this happened while 198 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:37,640 Speaker 1: I was prepping for the show. And as you know, Danny, 199 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:42,560 Speaker 1: there's a there's a method to the madness, and I 200 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 1: have a routine. We all have routines, very methodical. I 201 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,240 Speaker 1: often start out paranoid that I won't have anything interesting 202 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:52,559 Speaker 1: that I want to talk about, and then then I'll 203 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:54,400 Speaker 1: end up finding too much stuff and I won't have 204 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:58,040 Speaker 1: enough time for But anyway, I desperately try to turn 205 00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:01,560 Speaker 1: over every rock, leave no stone unturned, right, that's my goal. 206 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:04,640 Speaker 1: If someone's gonna give their time up to listen to 207 00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:06,360 Speaker 1: this dopey radio show. I want to make sure I 208 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:09,480 Speaker 1: put my time to give them something that they will appreciate. 209 00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:11,720 Speaker 1: So I spent a lot of time on it, scouring 210 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:15,440 Speaker 1: the globe for content. Uh. There's a term that that 211 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:17,480 Speaker 1: I remember when I was a kid growing up in 212 00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:20,240 Speaker 1: a a Jewish household that you're you're trying to find 213 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 1: the offie coon, like the hidden maza, uh hidden jewel. 214 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 1: So all of this is happening, and the air conditioning 215 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:29,720 Speaker 1: guy comes over and I've met this guy in the 216 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:33,040 Speaker 1: past at a social event a friend of my my 217 00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:36,959 Speaker 1: wife said, Uh, so I met the guy and you know, 218 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,120 Speaker 1: nice guy and all that, but I really know him. 219 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,960 Speaker 1: And um my wife said, he's a fan of the show. 220 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:44,960 Speaker 1: And but she said she told him, don't really talk 221 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:48,120 Speaker 1: to Ben because it'll be busy, which I appreciate. You know, 222 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:49,760 Speaker 1: I'm willing to talk, but I you know, I'm not 223 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:53,560 Speaker 1: a big small talk guy. But so anyway, so he 224 00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:56,760 Speaker 1: comes in and he's doing the whole he's checking out 225 00:12:56,760 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 1: the air conditioning, pulling wires. There's some electrical issues that 226 00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:04,840 Speaker 1: some some wires had burned together probably years ago, and 227 00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:06,760 Speaker 1: I we moved in here and we had to get 228 00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:12,000 Speaker 1: it fixed. So he's coming over about every half hour, 229 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:16,920 Speaker 1: and he's in very places giving me updates. But at 230 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:21,640 Speaker 1: some point along the way these detailed updates morphed into uh, 231 00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:23,640 Speaker 1: what I would call it Charlie Horse because name is 232 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,560 Speaker 1: Charlie R A c guy. Charlie. He was giving me 233 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:30,800 Speaker 1: the inside skinny Danny. Now. I love the fact that 234 00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 1: he enjoys the show. And he had mentioned he was 235 00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,440 Speaker 1: relaying some of the things that had happened on the 236 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:38,440 Speaker 1: show that he had heard because he don't listen every night, 237 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:40,640 Speaker 1: because most people can't listen to every night because he's 238 00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:45,160 Speaker 1: not over. So Charlie is he's going through? Yeah, I 239 00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:47,079 Speaker 1: heard you. He took a call from this guy and 240 00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:50,040 Speaker 1: then I really liked that, and he he likes the callers. 241 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:52,240 Speaker 1: He thinks that's a good part of the show. Not 242 00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 1: really a podcast guest. So I think we're okay. I 243 00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 1: don't think he listened to the pocket and if we 244 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:57,800 Speaker 1: are were in trouble. If he does, were in trouble, 245 00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:00,760 Speaker 1: you're not in trouble. I'm in trouble. Um. He also 246 00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:05,199 Speaker 1: loves Phil Henry, so then he like every time he 247 00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 1: thinks would get cranked up a little bit, like the 248 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:08,440 Speaker 1: first time. I was like, hey, I like the show. 249 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:10,160 Speaker 1: You know, here's what's going on with d C. And 250 00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:12,240 Speaker 1: then half an hour later he'd come back. Here's an update. 251 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:14,160 Speaker 1: By the way, I loved Phil Hendon. I used to 252 00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:16,000 Speaker 1: listen to him all the time on cafe in l A. 253 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 1: And then he said I I he tell me like 254 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:20,960 Speaker 1: a bit that Phil Henry And he's like, did you 255 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 1: ever meet Phil? I said, yes, I did. He used 256 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:24,080 Speaker 1: to work at the Premier Networks back and I did 257 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:26,200 Speaker 1: meet Phil. Oh really, what was he like? I really 258 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:27,920 Speaker 1: didn't know him that well. You know, I met him, 259 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:29,960 Speaker 1: but it's a casual meeting and we didn't really talk. 260 00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:34,120 Speaker 1: And he said, okay, okay, and uh as I think 261 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:35,560 Speaker 1: Phil is doing a podcast now. So I said, well, 262 00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:36,960 Speaker 1: why don't you listen to his podcast all he's doing 263 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,120 Speaker 1: a podcast. I said, yeah, I think he's doing a podcast. 264 00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:41,080 Speaker 1: And then and I was like, oh, wait a minute, 265 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:43,760 Speaker 1: because I am friends with Phil henry On on Facebook. 266 00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:45,320 Speaker 1: So I was like, oh, I'll just I'll look it 267 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,200 Speaker 1: up or whatever and I'll get back to you. So 268 00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:51,640 Speaker 1: so he leaves, he comes back again half he was 269 00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:54,960 Speaker 1: here for hours day, come back in half an hour later, 270 00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:59,000 Speaker 1: we're talking about you know, solar and this, that and 271 00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:00,600 Speaker 1: the other thing. And he's saying he he has like 272 00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:02,320 Speaker 1: sleep at me, and he said, you can get an 273 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:05,680 Speaker 1: exemption for your power if you have sleep at me. Yeah, 274 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 1: so that's kind of cool. Yeah, apparently, you know, in 275 00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:10,680 Speaker 1: California they tax you if you go over a certain 276 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:14,560 Speaker 1: threshold with your But he said, if you have like 277 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:17,880 Speaker 1: a sleep condition, our health condition, you can have your 278 00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:20,320 Speaker 1: doctor write a note and that you will always stay 279 00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:24,560 Speaker 1: in tier one. Wo. Yeah, so if anyone. I don't 280 00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:26,880 Speaker 1: know if that works in other states other than California, 281 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,200 Speaker 1: but that was like an interesting life fact. So then 282 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:31,800 Speaker 1: we move on from that, and now he's telling me 283 00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:38,120 Speaker 1: he's got these black Russian Terrier service dogs. Now I 284 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:41,240 Speaker 1: didn't know what a black Russian Terrier dog looks like. 285 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:44,520 Speaker 1: These dogs are the size of a human being. Danny, 286 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,320 Speaker 1: I hate the curse, but this thing weighs about a 287 00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:54,400 Speaker 1: hundred thirty pounds. It's massive. Ear unbelieved was one of 288 00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:56,280 Speaker 1: the biggest, he says to me, shows me a photo. 289 00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:00,160 Speaker 1: He's like, yeah, my wife doesn't like the dog on 290 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:01,680 Speaker 1: the bed, but one night, you know, I let the 291 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:03,640 Speaker 1: dog on the bed. The dogs like a human being 292 00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:08,120 Speaker 1: in the bed. That dogs licked that whole thing. He's 293 00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:11,760 Speaker 1: your best friends. Yeah, we're pals. Now we're boys, man, 294 00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:16,320 Speaker 1: me and Charlie and and so I I was, I 295 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:19,320 Speaker 1: was looking at this, this Russian terry, the black Russian terry, 296 00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:22,440 Speaker 1: and I was thinking, boy blind Scott and his dog 297 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:26,760 Speaker 1: Dylan would be so freaked out if they saw obviously 298 00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:27,960 Speaker 1: good to see it, but if they if they were 299 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:31,760 Speaker 1: aware of how big huge. And I looked it up. 300 00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:35,960 Speaker 1: The dog was created in the USSR in the Red 301 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:40,880 Speaker 1: Star kennel for military use. It's a military trained dog anyway, 302 00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:43,840 Speaker 1: So this this one on and I did the math 303 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:47,080 Speaker 1: on it. When when Charlie finally left, very nice man, Charlie, 304 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:49,160 Speaker 1: very good, and he's apparently he's great at the air 305 00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:52,360 Speaker 1: condition he's really good at air conditioning stuff, and that 306 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:55,240 Speaker 1: the electricity and and wiring and all that crap, which 307 00:16:55,280 --> 00:17:00,920 Speaker 1: is important. Uh, but I estimate we spent ninety minutes talk. 308 00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:03,600 Speaker 1: I'm not exaggerating, but I think it was not because 309 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:06,320 Speaker 1: every time he came over it got a little longer 310 00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:08,879 Speaker 1: and a little longer, and then when he left, there 311 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:12,080 Speaker 1: was like an added twenty minutes on top of that. 312 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:14,800 Speaker 1: And did you do the cut off movie or the 313 00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:17,760 Speaker 1: the end of the conversation. Was it an open end 314 00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:19,760 Speaker 1: where you kept trying to end it but then it 315 00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:23,719 Speaker 1: kept continuing. Yeah, So I had my laptop open, so 316 00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:26,359 Speaker 1: I'm watching a ball game watching I was watching the 317 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:28,560 Speaker 1: Blue Jays were playing the Royal So I'm watching this 318 00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:32,680 Speaker 1: right and okay, all right, thanks, But he's not making 319 00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:34,880 Speaker 1: eye context.

It was 322 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,880 Speaker 1: nice of you to do ninety minutes because you're very 323 00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,960 Speaker 1: antisocial normal I am. I am.

So what am 331 00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:04,400 Speaker 1: I supposed to do? You know, hosts will have very 332 00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:10,639 Speaker 1: outgoing personalities, it's real. But because you're outgoing on the 333 00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:14,040 Speaker 1: air for all those hours off the radio, you don't 334 00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:17,040 Speaker 1: really want to talk that much. Yeah, you save it 335 00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:19,800 Speaker 1: for the show. The reason we don't talk a lot 336 00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:22,520 Speaker 1: of before the show or anything like that. Yeah, you 337 00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:25,879 Speaker 1: gotta say you don't want to waste anything because we 338 00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:28,040 Speaker 1: we've talked about this to Danny both being in the 339 00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:30,560 Speaker 1: radio business a long time. When you do something in 340 00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:33,240 Speaker 1: a meeting and it's pretty good, you're like, oh, that's 341 00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:35,000 Speaker 1: that should be on the air, and then you try 342 00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:38,000 Speaker 1: it on there, it's never the same. Yeah, there's no 343 00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:41,480 Speaker 1: good take two's you lose your edge on that. You 344 00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:43,040 Speaker 1: lose your edge and then you need to go out 345 00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:45,160 Speaker 1: and buy a Winter Parker. And he said, why would 346 00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:47,720 Speaker 1: you need a winter Parker because it's June, But Danny 347 00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:51,000 Speaker 1: will explain. Yeah, And this kind of ties into your 348 00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:54,600 Speaker 1: air conditioning story. You know, I'm a couple hours away 349 00:18:54,640 --> 00:19:00,280 Speaker 1: from you. My part of southern California has heated up already. 350 00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:04,879 Speaker 1: It is that Chatsworth heat. You know what that is? Yeah? Yeah, 351 00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:10,040 Speaker 1: oh boy, that's blazing sun hitting the rocks and Chatsworth. 352 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:14,920 Speaker 1: It's that kind of heat where it feels like death valley. Yeah, 353 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:18,400 Speaker 1: it's bad. Now what I lived, I never have lived 354 00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:20,960 Speaker 1: in the San Fernando Valley where you are. I lived 355 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:25,679 Speaker 1: in the San Gabriel Valley, which was also horrific. It 356 00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:28,840 Speaker 1: was like living in a blow torch near the mountains there, 357 00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,320 Speaker 1: the foothills. I loved it. They're it was beautiful, but 358 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:33,760 Speaker 1: it was so hot in the summer. But yeah, and 359 00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:35,520 Speaker 1: I only know like the San Fernando vo I worked 360 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:39,280 Speaker 1: in Burbank, which is hot, and obviously Sherman Oaks where 361 00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:42,880 Speaker 1: the studios are, and it's brutal. It's just I can 362 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,879 Speaker 1: only and further the further you get out where you 363 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:47,399 Speaker 1: are in that part of the valley. For those not 364 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:49,720 Speaker 1: familiar to chats Worth, which at one point was the 365 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:55,080 Speaker 1: porn capital, Yeah, the adult industries headquarters. I don't think 366 00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:57,680 Speaker 1: it is anymore, but for a while I think there's 367 00:19:57,960 --> 00:19:59,680 Speaker 1: a fair amount of people still there that do that. 368 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,959 Speaker 1: But it's not like it was. Yeah, it's a border 369 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:07,360 Speaker 1: town of San Fernando Valley in Ventura County and one 370 00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:10,959 Speaker 1: of the hottest places in southern California. Ninety four feels 371 00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:13,800 Speaker 1: like a hundred and four And they'll usually call the 372 00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:17,439 Speaker 1: kids inside the classroom because it's just too hot to 373 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:21,200 Speaker 1: be outside for the kids. So We encountered this at 374 00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:25,080 Speaker 1: summer school on Friday. First recess was early enough to 375 00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:27,880 Speaker 1: where yeah I was in the eighties. It was hot, 376 00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:31,280 Speaker 1: but you know, we're doing okay. But then we get 377 00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:35,240 Speaker 1: to the afternoon and I hear two announcements on the radio. 378 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:39,000 Speaker 1: The first one says, and I had seen this kid 379 00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:41,680 Speaker 1: Ben and I talked to him, but he wouldn't listen 380 00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:47,040 Speaker 1: to me. The announcement over the radios, though, said, will 381 00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:51,320 Speaker 1: somebody please escort the kid wearing the winter parka to 382 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:56,920 Speaker 1: the office. What? Yeah, this kid, his name is san Gee. 383 00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:04,120 Speaker 1: He refuses to take his win her parka off. Then 384 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:08,719 Speaker 1: I had kids on the basketball court that we're getting 385 00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:12,840 Speaker 1: the yard duties, whistles blown because the boys were taking 386 00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:16,400 Speaker 1: their shirts off. You know, this is elementary school, so 387 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,960 Speaker 1: some of the fifth grade boys were like wearing tank 388 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:22,679 Speaker 1: tops and trying to do that trick where they flipped 389 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:25,919 Speaker 1: their shirt up because it's so hot. They wanted to 390 00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:30,000 Speaker 1: play basketball, but they're also trying to be at the 391 00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:33,000 Speaker 1: y m c A and take their shirt off. Meanwhile, 392 00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:38,000 Speaker 1: san Gee is walking around the campus wearing jeans, a 393 00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:42,600 Speaker 1: long sleeve T shirt and a winter parka. Wow, so 394 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,800 Speaker 1: this is it's like a lioness had the blanket and 395 00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:48,760 Speaker 1: the peanuts, and this is this kid's thing is the park? 396 00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 1: What's the hiding? Is there something he's trying to hide 397 00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:56,960 Speaker 1: or Man? Now, I saw him about an hour before 398 00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:00,639 Speaker 1: this radio call. When I saw him, I said, dude, 399 00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:03,960 Speaker 1: what are you doing? Take your jacket off. You're gonna 400 00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:07,640 Speaker 1: die of a heat stroke. I'm not hot, he said, 401 00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:11,480 Speaker 1: I'm always cold. He's like, I'm cold right now? What 402 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:17,399 Speaker 1: he laughed like he had some sort of superpower that 403 00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:22,480 Speaker 1: I was unaware of. Okay, maybe maybe he does, because 404 00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:26,480 Speaker 1: he continued to wear the winter park up until somebody 405 00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:29,680 Speaker 1: must have informed the office. Hey, we got a kid 406 00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:35,000 Speaker 1: out here that's gonna die if somebody doesn't peel this 407 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:38,080 Speaker 1: big jacket off of him. So what do we look? 408 00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:40,159 Speaker 1: How old is this kid? What? What? What grade was he? 409 00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:44,280 Speaker 1: Let's see he is a third grader? Oh, a third grade? 410 00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:47,439 Speaker 1: There you go. Yeah, boy, built that little kids stage 411 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:49,320 Speaker 1: at third grade. You're not quite out of it yet. 412 00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:51,919 Speaker 1: You can't get the man. I didn't get to be 413 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:55,280 Speaker 1: there in the office when the Park of boy showed up. 414 00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:58,280 Speaker 1: I wonder how that encounter went and what they said 415 00:22:58,280 --> 00:22:59,800 Speaker 1: to him, and how they were able to get that 416 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:03,639 Speaker 1: packet off because my conversation didn't work. I'm sure he 417 00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:06,800 Speaker 1: told the office people the same thing. So did they 418 00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:10,000 Speaker 1: physically like pull the jacket off of them? Was this 419 00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:13,439 Speaker 1: a hostage negotiation where the parents contacted? Was there a 420 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:17,159 Speaker 1: ransom note? I will I will take the jacket off 421 00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:20,399 Speaker 1: if I get extra candy, and that's it if I 422 00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:24,159 Speaker 1: don't get extra candy. But when we were in school, 423 00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:27,600 Speaker 1: we've all had our parents called about something or other. 424 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:31,639 Speaker 1: I man imagine that phone call. It's a hundred and 425 00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:35,840 Speaker 1: two degrees outside right now, and your son is a 426 00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:41,200 Speaker 1: sweating like a hyena. Moments later, there was a second 427 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:45,640 Speaker 1: radio call and it was a heat advisory, no more 428 00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:49,960 Speaker 1: outdoor activities that day, shutting her down, shutting down the 429 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:53,320 Speaker 1: outdoor activities. First call was hey, get park a boy 430 00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:56,359 Speaker 1: in the office, and the second call was none of 431 00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,080 Speaker 1: you jackos can be out here. Wo. So what was 432 00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 1: the air? Interesting? Work at that place? Is good? Say? 433 00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:05,000 Speaker 1: Or so? I've for stories about some of the schools 434 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:10,200 Speaker 1: where the A C doesn't work, Right, Charlie Lee, I 435 00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:12,880 Speaker 1: I know a guy. I was so excited I wanted 436 00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:16,520 Speaker 1: to pick more guys. I love it, absolutely, no question 437 00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:21,680 Speaker 1: about it. So I made a tactical error here, Danny. 438 00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:24,440 Speaker 1: This past week, the management had reached out to me. 439 00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:28,919 Speaker 1: I was told very stern, like a stern message like 440 00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:32,200 Speaker 1: this is very important for the company. The power at 441 00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:36,080 Speaker 1: the main building, the Fox Sports radio Hub, was going 442 00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:40,480 Speaker 1: to be out all day on Sunday, and one of 443 00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:43,720 Speaker 1: the big bosses was very concerned that my remote studio 444 00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:47,800 Speaker 1: would not be able to connect because everything was messed up, 445 00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:49,280 Speaker 1: and so he said, we need you to go to 446 00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:51,000 Speaker 1: the mother ship. It's one of the days we need 447 00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:53,639 Speaker 1: to go. I said, okay, no problems. So but I 448 00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:58,359 Speaker 1: made a tactical error since I did not want to 449 00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:01,840 Speaker 1: miss it. This was Sunday night. I did not want 450 00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:05,879 Speaker 1: to miss any minutes of Game two of the NBA Finals, 451 00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:09,520 Speaker 1: which was back on Sunday. So I decided, you know 452 00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:11,720 Speaker 1: what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna waste my entire day. 453 00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:14,600 Speaker 1: I'm gonna drive out early from the north Woods. I'm 454 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:17,880 Speaker 1: gonna go out. My wife was busy, she was working, 455 00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:21,200 Speaker 1: so I said, I'm gonna make a day. And I 456 00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:25,520 Speaker 1: love Tito's tacosm so I said, I haven't been there 457 00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:27,919 Speaker 1: a long time, so I'm gonna go to Tito's Tacos. 458 00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:31,280 Speaker 1: I go there. This is the mecca. As my Mexican 459 00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:33,840 Speaker 1: buddy who passed away years ago Alex said, the home 460 00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:37,720 Speaker 1: of the green got taco, And so I went there. 461 00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:43,040 Speaker 1: I got my green Goat tacos. Very delicious, wonderful, crunchy. Man, 462 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:45,440 Speaker 1: is that place good? And I've been going there? I can't. 463 00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:47,560 Speaker 1: I can't believe I'll date myself if I say how 464 00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:52,280 Speaker 1: long I've been going there? Danny, But the inflation is 465 00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:56,760 Speaker 1: even more. I opened up. Now, I went back to 466 00:25:56,880 --> 00:26:00,000 Speaker 1: when I first went to Tito's Tacos. The tacos were 467 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:03,520 Speaker 1: less than two dollars right at that time, and at 468 00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:05,120 Speaker 1: that time it seems like a lot. It was still 469 00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:07,919 Speaker 1: less than two dollars. So I looked up at the 470 00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:11,879 Speaker 1: menu board. Mhm, have you been to the Tito's. I 471 00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:13,720 Speaker 1: don't know if you have you ever been there? I've 472 00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:16,399 Speaker 1: been there, not recently, though. You want to take you 473 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:19,400 Speaker 1: guess how much a single taco with cheese cost? Now? 474 00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:24,400 Speaker 1: Double that? Now it's got to be four dollars. Uh, 475 00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:30,800 Speaker 1: keep going, how about five dollars and ten cents one taco? Now, 476 00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:33,400 Speaker 1: this taco is a fair sized taco. It is not 477 00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:36,560 Speaker 1: the biggest taco you can have possibly get. It's like 478 00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:39,520 Speaker 1: it's just like a regular kind of talk how it's 479 00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:43,159 Speaker 1: possible to charge a charge five dollars for taco and 480 00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:46,080 Speaker 1: be gets get idiots like me to pay five dollars 481 00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:49,919 Speaker 1: for taco is it blows me away. But for me 482 00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:53,239 Speaker 1: it was rare and appropriate. I enjoy it as I 483 00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:55,560 Speaker 1: am not gonna eat it maybe once a year, twice 484 00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:57,280 Speaker 1: a year at the most, So like what what that? 485 00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:00,440 Speaker 1: So then I pick up the food and then that's 486 00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:03,000 Speaker 1: in Culver City, So I make to drive up the 487 00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:06,040 Speaker 1: dreaded four oh five, and my plan I've all mapped 488 00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:08,040 Speaker 1: out in my head. I'm like, listen, it's way before 489 00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:10,560 Speaker 1: the show. It's the afternoon. So I got my food. 490 00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:15,040 Speaker 1: I'm gonna watch the finals game in privacy. So I'm 491 00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:19,000 Speaker 1: gonna go up to the office tower where the other 492 00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:21,679 Speaker 1: studios are for the Premier Networks, where like George Nor 493 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:25,239 Speaker 1: does his show and the other host. I parked my car. 494 00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:27,240 Speaker 1: I can't even get in the garage to park my 495 00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:29,840 Speaker 1: car because there's all these electrical trucks that are blocking 496 00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:32,239 Speaker 1: the main entrance. So then I have to go all 497 00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:36,800 Speaker 1: the way down Ventura down a side street and then 498 00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:39,320 Speaker 1: kind of make a you turn to towards the exit. 499 00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:41,600 Speaker 1: So I gotta do all that, and then I have 500 00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:43,680 Speaker 1: to enter through the exit. So I get in there 501 00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:46,720 Speaker 1: and I find a parking through the exit, head to 502 00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:49,480 Speaker 1: the main tower. I use my thing to get in 503 00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:52,639 Speaker 1: the building, and as I am going to the elevator, 504 00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:56,399 Speaker 1: the security guard comes running in in a panic, arms 505 00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:59,800 Speaker 1: waving and informs me that all the elevators are not 506 00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:04,639 Speaker 1: And I'm thinking, well, there's a generator. Why would the 507 00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:07,479 Speaker 1: elevators not work on the generator. But for some reason, 508 00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:11,199 Speaker 1: I mean, I assumed if the generator is powering the building, 509 00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:14,160 Speaker 1: that the at least one because this has happening four 510 00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:16,600 Speaker 1: and I remember there was one service elevator that was 511 00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:19,800 Speaker 1: worth But the guy's like no, he said, I'm sorry, 512 00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:23,199 Speaker 1: there's no elevators. He declined, but then he said, you know, 513 00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:26,960 Speaker 1: if you want, you know, there's a there's an emergency exit. 514 00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:29,840 Speaker 1: You can walk up that five flights, five stories you 515 00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:32,320 Speaker 1: can walk up. So I'm thinking, I'm like, well, wait 516 00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:34,680 Speaker 1: a minute, I got I got my laptop, I've got 517 00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:40,040 Speaker 1: my my other bag, I've got tacos, I've got a thermis. 518 00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:44,400 Speaker 1: Do I want to walk up five stories uh, you know, 519 00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:46,680 Speaker 1: and there's no air conditioning because of that, and I'm like, 520 00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:50,760 Speaker 1: I politely decline. So then I'm like, okay, So I'm 521 00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:53,200 Speaker 1: stuck in the main Fox Sports radio studio. So I 522 00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:56,160 Speaker 1: go in there with my tail. I'm a defeated maid 523 00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:58,200 Speaker 1: day my tail between my legs. I go in there 524 00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:01,560 Speaker 1: and I try to go in the act to eat 525 00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:04,480 Speaker 1: kind of away from the riff raft. There's just like 526 00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:06,560 Speaker 1: weird setup. When you come to the building, there's a kitchen, 527 00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:08,960 Speaker 1: and then the other side of the kitchen there's really 528 00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:10,600 Speaker 1: just like kind of dead space. There's not a lot 529 00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:13,000 Speaker 1: going on. And I'm like, I I spouted, I'm like, well, 530 00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:15,520 Speaker 1: no one will bug me, you know, And so I said, 531 00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:17,840 Speaker 1: that's perfect. I put my stuff down, put my computer down, 532 00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:19,960 Speaker 1: put the tacos down, put the I filled up my 533 00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,960 Speaker 1: thermis with some water. It's a little studio next to 534 00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:26,320 Speaker 1: the production studio. Yeah, and I don't even know what's 535 00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:29,520 Speaker 1: in that. That's stude. I don't even know. But so anyway, 536 00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:32,160 Speaker 1: but after that, it was like a conda line of 537 00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:38,640 Speaker 1: people saying hello, Hello. I don't even know how they 538 00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:41,800 Speaker 1: knew I was there. Wreck it Ralph came by, Dan 539 00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:46,440 Speaker 1: Fire came by some editors people I don't even know 540 00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:48,360 Speaker 1: who they are. I don't even know what they do. 541 00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:52,960 Speaker 1: They were coming by saying hello, which is very nice. Um, 542 00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:55,200 Speaker 1: but I'm trying to eat and I don't like people 543 00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:57,880 Speaker 1: watching me when I eat, So then every time somebody 544 00:29:57,880 --> 00:29:59,800 Speaker 1: came over, I had to stopped eating. And then by 545 00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:03,000 Speaker 1: the time I ate the tacos, they were cold. But 546 00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:05,680 Speaker 1: then I was like, I paid five dollars for cold tacos, 547 00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:08,080 Speaker 1: but I couldn't heat him up because the microwave wasn't working. 548 00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:10,800 Speaker 1: So I made a lot of mistakes. Here's what I'm 549 00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:14,920 Speaker 1: trying to say. And then I finally got down to 550 00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:16,440 Speaker 1: do my prem but I was able to watch the game, 551 00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:18,480 Speaker 1: which was fine because they had the generator power in 552 00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:21,840 Speaker 1: the studio. But then another thing happened on the way 553 00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:27,600 Speaker 1: out of work after the show that night. So Sunday night, 554 00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:30,320 Speaker 1: you were not producing that night. You had already produced earlier. 555 00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:34,080 Speaker 1: So I'm leaving the studio. I get out of the 556 00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:37,360 Speaker 1: parking lot. I'm right at the corner of the Pulviano Matura. 557 00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:39,480 Speaker 1: I'm heading to the one oh one freeway in the valley. 558 00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:43,680 Speaker 1: Out there. I'm at a red light, and as I 559 00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:48,360 Speaker 1: am it turns green, so I'm now clear to go 560 00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:51,960 Speaker 1: through the intersection. I I start picking up some speed 561 00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:54,640 Speaker 1: and then immediately I have to pump the brakes because 562 00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:59,120 Speaker 1: a Los Angeles Public Transit bus decided to run their 563 00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:05,880 Speaker 1: red light local rapid express and apparently reckless ramal night 564 00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:12,240 Speaker 1: ran and I almost got t boned by a Los 565 00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:15,400 Speaker 1: Angeles public transit bus in the middle of the night, 566 00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:18,640 Speaker 1: a block away, not even a block, a corner where 567 00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:22,520 Speaker 1: the studio is. And that's a reminder, Danny, and you know, 568 00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:26,160 Speaker 1: driving late, I have seen over the years doing the 569 00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:31,120 Speaker 1: Overnight show. I've seen many accidents. I've seen fatalities. I've 570 00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:35,320 Speaker 1: seen three times, I've seen wrong way drivers. I have 571 00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:37,760 Speaker 1: a theory and a lot of like at night, especially 572 00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:39,480 Speaker 1: around there, there's a lot of really rich people that 573 00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:42,640 Speaker 1: live in the hills. Bel Air is right up above 574 00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:45,920 Speaker 1: the famous neighborhood bell Air, where like Lebron, doesn't Lebron 575 00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:49,400 Speaker 1: live up there? I think I don't a lot of 576 00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:56,480 Speaker 1: famous people, so uh, yes, that's right. So my theory is' 577 00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:59,320 Speaker 1: all I blame Vin Diesel and the Fast and the 578 00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:02,640 Speaker 1: Furious move be franchise because I think everyone he's got 579 00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:04,600 Speaker 1: these high end sports cars. And now this was a 580 00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:07,680 Speaker 1: bust that I at this time, but I see people 581 00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:11,320 Speaker 1: at night on the street. It's like the Autobahn driving around. 582 00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:14,360 Speaker 1: It's wild, all right. And when we get out of 583 00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:18,600 Speaker 1: here on this we've got the backscratcher. You scratch our back, 584 00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:22,120 Speaker 1: we scratch your back, and we have some gamesmanship this 585 00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:24,960 Speaker 1: week in backscratching. This is where we begged you to 586 00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:29,680 Speaker 1: go and support the podcast on the Apple podcast page 587 00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:32,680 Speaker 1: fifth Hour Apple Podcast and really spread the word. We 588 00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:35,440 Speaker 1: need we need more downloads, spread the word, share the sugar. 589 00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:39,360 Speaker 1: I think there's this listener, twizzle Te Danny. We had 590 00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:43,240 Speaker 1: two reviews this but this guy, twizzle Te found a loophole. 591 00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:47,040 Speaker 1: This is the second consecutive week that he's written review. 592 00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:49,400 Speaker 1: So I was like, that name looks familiar. So I 593 00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:52,080 Speaker 1: was like, I swear he wrote a review last week. 594 00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:55,480 Speaker 1: So then I went back and looked and that was gone. 595 00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:58,720 Speaker 1: And now there's this review from twizzle t. So he 596 00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:02,320 Speaker 1: updated it, I guess, but the other one was gone. 597 00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:04,480 Speaker 1: So yeah, are you only allowed to do one? Is 598 00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:08,840 Speaker 1: that one per customer? That's a good question. So he says, 599 00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:14,080 Speaker 1: CNN schooling summer school sounds as awesome as this show, 600 00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:18,640 Speaker 1: news coverage and water balloons covering all the bases. I 601 00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:22,880 Speaker 1: had no idea about the flood. So thanks kid. So 602 00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:25,280 Speaker 1: that's from Twizzle Teeth like he was quoting some of 603 00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:28,600 Speaker 1: the great moments of the of last weekend's podcast. Yes, 604 00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:33,400 Speaker 1: so he gave us five stars, so thank you. And 605 00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:35,520 Speaker 1: then the other one was from the one and only 606 00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:39,640 Speaker 1: Turret Burglar. How lucky are we Danny that the Turret 607 00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:44,640 Speaker 1: Burglars a fan of our show We Gotta go man uh? 608 00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:46,640 Speaker 1: And that was a five star review and it said, 609 00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:50,719 Speaker 1: whoa big Ben and Danny are going to top the charts, 610 00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:55,080 Speaker 1: watch out Joe Rogan wrong. So sure the people over 611 00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:57,440 Speaker 1: at Spotify are going to steal us away Danny at 612 00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:00,520 Speaker 1: any moment and throw lots of money or or what's 613 00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:03,880 Speaker 1: the DraftKings with Pat mcafeel come knocking on our door 614 00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:08,239 Speaker 1: and say, here's a bunch of money. Is there a 615 00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:13,600 Speaker 1: better chance of that? Or the Saudi Arabian Group offerings. 616 00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:16,200 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go knock the Saudi Arabian Group. I think 617 00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:20,480 Speaker 1: I have a distinct disadvantage to have them offer me 618 00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:23,200 Speaker 1: any money. Nor would I really want to work with them. 619 00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:26,440 Speaker 1: How much would it take for the Saudias to steal 620 00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:29,439 Speaker 1: you away? Big? Listen? We all have a price, Danny, 621 00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:31,840 Speaker 1: as you know, we all have a price. But I 622 00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:34,000 Speaker 1: would have to not talk to many, many people who 623 00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:36,400 Speaker 1: are part of my life to take that money. That 624 00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:38,160 Speaker 1: would be the problem. There's a lot of people who 625 00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:40,560 Speaker 1: have been very important in my life. If I did that, 626 00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:43,439 Speaker 1: they would never talk to me again, and nor would 627 00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:46,080 Speaker 1: I blame them, Nor would I blame them. All Right, 628 00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:48,200 Speaker 1: we gotta get out of here. Anything to promote Danny anything? 629 00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:50,200 Speaker 1: I'm not Cammy.
