He's the last 0:00:08.800 --> 0:00:12.440 remnants of the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. 0:00:12.520 --> 0:00:15.520 He treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as 0:00:15.560 --> 0:00:19.760 the rich pill poppers in the penthouse, to clearinghouse of 0:00:19.760 --> 0:00:23.560 hot takes, break free for something special. The Fifth Hour 0:00:23.720 --> 0:00:33.640 with Ben Maller starts right now in the air everywhere, 0:00:33.680 --> 0:00:39.520 and a very good Saturday to you. A brand new 0:00:39.680 --> 0:00:43.440 pipe and hot ediution of the Fifth Hour with Ben 0:00:43.479 --> 0:00:49.120 Mallor and Danny g Radio and congratulated. I want to 0:00:49.159 --> 0:00:53.320 congratulate you, Danny, on the fact that you survive not one, 0:00:54.400 --> 0:00:58.840 but two appearances on the overnight shows. So I know 0:00:58.880 --> 0:01:01.480 you're a little choked up right now, Danny, a little emotional, 0:01:01.520 --> 0:01:06.560 you little. I understand that. But you did survive two 0:01:06.680 --> 0:01:10.679 nights in the Madhouse, so it was most I don't 0:01:10.680 --> 0:01:14.000 know when I'm sleeping, when I'm awake, when I'm eating dinner, 0:01:14.480 --> 0:01:17.279 And it's funny at the geat Household, I was eating 0:01:17.319 --> 0:01:21.320 dinner at eight thirty pm every night before I went 0:01:21.360 --> 0:01:24.320 into your show. At first, it was gonna be like 0:01:24.480 --> 0:01:26.880 my tinder RONI said, well, I'll make your dinner at 0:01:26.880 --> 0:01:28.600 eight thirty. The rest of us are going to eat 0:01:28.640 --> 0:01:32.039 at six thirty. Oh my guy, that's cool. But I 0:01:32.080 --> 0:01:34.440 get down there the first night at eight thirty and 0:01:34.480 --> 0:01:38.480 everybody's eating. It was like that the next night to 0:01:38.720 --> 0:01:43.240 at nine pm. People were still roaming around the kitchen eating. Wow. 0:01:44.360 --> 0:01:47.280 Kind of a grazing situation here, you know, now you 0:01:47.280 --> 0:01:50.040 know later I like it. I like it, got a 0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:53.840 bonus dinner at my pad. Solid Ben. You don't get 0:01:53.960 --> 0:02:01.880 enough credit for the hours that you live. Yeah, it's 0:02:01.880 --> 0:02:04.400 just it's all a blurred in it. It's all a blur. 0:02:04.600 --> 0:02:07.960 But I still maintain. And you did mornings for a while, 0:02:08.120 --> 0:02:10.480 like to me, the worst schedule I've done the full 0:02:10.520 --> 0:02:12.639 cycle and radio. I think you have to where you 0:02:12.680 --> 0:02:15.560 do the whole every day part twenty four hours in 0:02:15.600 --> 0:02:19.919 the in the day. But for me having to get up, 0:02:20.360 --> 0:02:22.320 like to go to bed early and get up to 0:02:22.400 --> 0:02:24.360 do a morning show. I did that for a year. 0:02:25.480 --> 0:02:29.400 It was dreadful. It was so bad. I tried to 0:02:29.440 --> 0:02:31.480 make it an overnight show and I tried to stay up. 0:02:31.880 --> 0:02:33.359 I've told the story before, but I tried to stay 0:02:33.440 --> 0:02:36.000 up to like thirty eleven in the morning and it 0:02:36.160 --> 0:02:37.919 just and then I go to bed. I figured, I 0:02:38.000 --> 0:02:40.840 go to bed like like eleven o'clock and sleep until 0:02:41.440 --> 0:02:43.160 six and then do it all over again, and it 0:02:43.280 --> 0:02:47.280 just it just ate at me. It was just brutal. 0:02:47.880 --> 0:02:51.040 It's funny you say that because when your show was 0:02:51.200 --> 0:02:56.160 ending on Tuesday and Wednesday, the morning crew obviously comes 0:02:56.160 --> 0:02:59.920 in after us, after the Ben Mallor show and Day 0:03:00.080 --> 0:03:04.720 or Dragon Ass the second day especially, and I heard 0:03:04.760 --> 0:03:07.920 someone in the hallway say, oh my god, it was 0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:10.919 so hard to get out of bed today, And so 0:03:11.000 --> 0:03:14.440 you're right. You hear that a lot from morning crews. Obviously, 0:03:14.520 --> 0:03:17.120 once they're into their first hour or maybe the second hour, 0:03:17.480 --> 0:03:19.920 they've had a little bit of coffee and they're getting awake. 0:03:20.000 --> 0:03:22.640 But yeah, that is a very tough schedule to do 0:03:22.840 --> 0:03:25.919 every day, every day of the week. Yeah, the very 0:03:25.960 --> 0:03:28.320 bleary eyed the morning guys when they come in there. 0:03:28.360 --> 0:03:30.519 I saw, I felt bad for LaVar erything. And this 0:03:30.600 --> 0:03:33.400 guy's at a stud in the NFL back in the day. 0:03:33.480 --> 0:03:35.720 Now he's doing mornings. He's coming in there and he's like, 0:03:35.760 --> 0:03:38.600 oh what am I dough? And I goes like a zombie. 0:03:38.880 --> 0:03:42.960 He speaking of LaVar after doing post production for your show. 0:03:43.680 --> 0:03:47.400 I left about five am West Coast time, and as 0:03:47.400 --> 0:03:50.440 I'm leaving, I waved to those guys goodbye. And I 0:03:50.560 --> 0:03:55.120 just see this huge boat up on the counter, crusty boat. 0:03:55.480 --> 0:03:58.720 It was LaVar's bare foot Oh is that right? He's 0:03:58.800 --> 0:04:02.960 just kind of reason of a Klein situation. Looked like 0:04:03.040 --> 0:04:07.640 we had an eagle in the studio. Yeah, you gotta 0:04:07.640 --> 0:04:09.440 be careful because there was and I don't know I 0:04:09.560 --> 0:04:11.880 should reveal the name here, I probably not. But years ago, 0:04:11.960 --> 0:04:14.040 and I think before you were at Fox Sports Radio, 0:04:14.320 --> 0:04:19.720 there was a NFL coach who was working there who 0:04:19.839 --> 0:04:23.200 leaned back, put his feet up on the table and 0:04:23.240 --> 0:04:26.680 then fell over, like passed out in the chair in 0:04:26.760 --> 0:04:30.920 the in the Studio's crazy, yeah, wild story, But I 0:04:30.960 --> 0:04:32.600 mean it's all of a sudden, It's like, wait a minute, 0:04:32.760 --> 0:04:39.080 what's going on. No, he's all right, he's fine. I 0:04:39.080 --> 0:04:40.719 mean he was. He was down for the count for 0:04:40.760 --> 0:04:43.960 that day. I don't think he continued his show, Danny. 0:04:44.000 --> 0:04:46.520 I think that was the end of the show and 0:04:46.560 --> 0:04:49.280 he said, that's it, I'm done, get me out of here. 0:04:49.600 --> 0:04:53.640 Got a murder gotta go. So on this Saturday podcast, 0:04:53.640 --> 0:04:56.520 The Life and Times of Mallard and Danny g We've 0:04:56.560 --> 0:05:04.200 got ringing up, Charlie Horse Winner, part tactical error and backscratcher. 0:05:04.279 --> 0:05:07.680 That's a lot of content, never that on this show. 0:05:08.000 --> 0:05:12.520 And mc hammer used to say, let's get it started, hammertime, 0:05:12.600 --> 0:05:17.080 all right. Now, I spent last weekend kind of gets 0:05:17.120 --> 0:05:18.760 caught up on stuff that I do when I'm not 0:05:19.160 --> 0:05:23.800 barking into a microphone about Deshaun Watson junk. But I 0:05:23.839 --> 0:05:26.680 spent my weekend going to part of my weekend going 0:05:26.720 --> 0:05:32.479 to various jewelry stores around southern California. As we continue 0:05:32.520 --> 0:05:36.040 now the Wild Goose Chase. All of this in an 0:05:36.080 --> 0:05:40.680 effort Danny to find the replacement band. In a previous episode, 0:05:41.680 --> 0:05:43.279 I had told the story, if you remember, if you 0:05:43.320 --> 0:05:46.840 heard that podcast, the tale of making the taij Ma 0:05:47.000 --> 0:05:51.320 Hall of Sand Castles at a beautiful beach in southern California. However, 0:05:51.320 --> 0:05:56.080 in my haste to build the towers with my young cousin, 0:05:56.440 --> 0:06:00.480 I my ring was buried at sea. And it's been 0:06:00.480 --> 0:06:03.919 a while and still no no wing ring. I have 0:06:03.960 --> 0:06:07.800 a backup, I'm not wearing it because that also falls off. 0:06:08.520 --> 0:06:10.880 So I went to a couple of jewelry stores and 0:06:11.520 --> 0:06:15.000 I got my ring finger. I got fitted to find 0:06:15.000 --> 0:06:17.680 out what size I have as a ring, which I 0:06:17.720 --> 0:06:20.320 didn't know. I guess my ring that I had before 0:06:20.360 --> 0:06:21.919 is a little too big, which probably explains why it 0:06:21.960 --> 0:06:25.200 came flying off playing insane. But a few observations here 0:06:25.200 --> 0:06:30.320 that I learned things I picked up from my weekend 0:06:30.400 --> 0:06:33.960 shopping with the wife. So, uh. These were a couple 0:06:34.000 --> 0:06:38.919 of big jewelry stores, one of them very well known, 0:06:40.320 --> 0:06:43.240 another one more of a local place, but they're popular 0:06:43.240 --> 0:06:46.520 on the internet and they sell rings all over the country. 0:06:46.640 --> 0:06:48.560 So I go in here and you walk into it, 0:06:48.600 --> 0:06:50.520 and I don't spend a lot of time at jewelry stores. 0:06:50.960 --> 0:06:53.200 It's not how I rolled. But I I go in 0:06:53.279 --> 0:06:55.560 there and I'm like, oh my god, this place is 0:06:55.560 --> 0:06:58.400 gonna be the greatest, right. It's like the Costco of jewelry. 0:06:58.760 --> 0:07:02.680 It's like everywhere you look, uh, there's cases displaying all 0:07:02.680 --> 0:07:06.000 these different jewelry. So that this person greets you the 0:07:06.000 --> 0:07:08.560 door and I'm like, what do you need and maybe 0:07:08.560 --> 0:07:11.200 a little small talk. Well I lost my my wedding 0:07:11.280 --> 0:07:14.480 ring and said okay, uh, and then he points to 0:07:14.480 --> 0:07:18.880 the very far corner of this massive warehouse like it's 0:07:18.920 --> 0:07:21.400 like the size of a seemed like a football field, 0:07:21.720 --> 0:07:24.320 and he points over to the corner in the very back. 0:07:25.480 --> 0:07:27.600 He says, that's where you need to go. So I 0:07:27.640 --> 0:07:32.240 said okay, and I walked over there and this massive store. 0:07:32.920 --> 0:07:37.800 There was one and a half cases of men's wedding bands. 0:07:40.440 --> 0:07:44.160 Everything else was for women or I don't know, but 0:07:44.360 --> 0:07:46.360 it was only like a case and a half, so 0:07:46.400 --> 0:07:50.240 there were not many options. And and we looked and 0:07:50.280 --> 0:07:51.840 there was some stuff that kind of it all kind 0:07:51.840 --> 0:07:54.680 of looked the same. And so my my wife had 0:07:54.680 --> 0:07:58.560 actually found something that looked pretty pretty good online, but 0:07:58.600 --> 0:08:01.760 you never know online, You never really know online. But 0:08:01.800 --> 0:08:05.400 they claimed they had this great return policy, so we 0:08:05.520 --> 0:08:09.360 ended up getting that and since nothing clicked on the store, 0:08:09.440 --> 0:08:12.760 we we decided to ring it up. And we did 0:08:12.840 --> 0:08:16.360 ring it up. And I also did take advice of 0:08:16.440 --> 0:08:20.040 our buddy Adrian, who's a super fan of the show. 0:08:20.600 --> 0:08:23.000 Adrian's the guy that went to Disneyland with his family 0:08:23.040 --> 0:08:25.480 and had shirts with our like the Mallard name on it, 0:08:25.520 --> 0:08:29.000 which crazy, but Adrian in Denver, he did advise buying 0:08:29.040 --> 0:08:34.160 some of those like silicone rings of people the gym. 0:08:34.280 --> 0:08:37.920 Yeah yeah, yeah. So so my plan is that I'll 0:08:37.960 --> 0:08:41.280 probably end up wearing those a lot. Most of the 0:08:41.360 --> 0:08:43.640 time I'm not doing something that I might use my 0:08:43.679 --> 0:08:46.760 hands with. But then for like a nice night out 0:08:46.920 --> 0:08:49.240 or you know, when I'm not doing anything physical, I'll 0:08:49.240 --> 0:08:52.600 probably wear the actual actual ring. But that's if it's good. 0:08:52.600 --> 0:08:54.160 I might end up returning it. I don't know, might 0:08:54.200 --> 0:08:56.000 it might blow. You have no idea. I have no 0:08:56.040 --> 0:08:58.560 idea because you see, you see photos of stuff online. 0:08:59.480 --> 0:09:01.400 You don't know until you got to me. You gotta 0:09:01.440 --> 0:09:03.040 hold it, you gotta look at it. You don't know 0:09:03.640 --> 0:09:06.800 now in your opinion, why is the selection for men 0:09:07.640 --> 0:09:11.280 so crappy? Is it just because the whole engagement thing 0:09:11.440 --> 0:09:15.640 is for women? Really? Yeah, well, my theory on that is, yeah, 0:09:15.640 --> 0:09:18.760 guys don't give a rat's ass, right, They just want 0:09:18.760 --> 0:09:20.920 to get in and out. They're like, okay, I'm signing 0:09:20.960 --> 0:09:24.400 the contract. That's it's not who cares. And most most 0:09:24.480 --> 0:09:32.720 men's rings are either gold, silver, or black. Yeah, I 0:09:32.760 --> 0:09:35.920 don't know if there's any variation. I didn't see any 0:09:36.000 --> 0:09:41.080 variation other than that for wedding bands. With my copious 0:09:41.360 --> 0:09:44.320 you know, minutes long walking through the one case and 0:09:44.360 --> 0:09:49.840 a half case of wedding rings, but yeah, so it's yeah, 0:09:49.880 --> 0:09:52.120 women and there's they were like chains, and I mean 0:09:52.120 --> 0:09:54.160 they all kinds out of the jewelry. It wasn't just rings, 0:09:54.160 --> 0:09:58.160 but it was mostly rings. What's interesting is that as guys, 0:09:58.200 --> 0:10:01.199 I mean, we grew up with run DMC and big 0:10:01.240 --> 0:10:05.400 gold rope chains, and you know, for a moment there 0:10:05.440 --> 0:10:09.200 a lot of dudes had Mr T Starter sets and 0:10:09.280 --> 0:10:11.440 you know, some guys still try to go with that look. 0:10:11.480 --> 0:10:16.560 I guess, come on, pimping, get your tim's off. But well, 0:10:16.600 --> 0:10:20.079 at the gym in in Glendale, they got I used 0:10:20.080 --> 0:10:22.280 to work out there in southern California. Here a lot 0:10:22.320 --> 0:10:25.680 of dudes with the like the one gold chain, what 0:10:25.880 --> 0:10:30.000 up bro? A lot of of action. You would think 0:10:30.000 --> 0:10:33.040 there would be even maybe a small market for men's 0:10:33.120 --> 0:10:35.840 rings that had a lot of bling to them. Yeah, 0:10:35.880 --> 0:10:38.320 so I I got something. It has a little pop 0:10:38.360 --> 0:10:40.600 to it. I thought, why not? You know the other 0:10:40.600 --> 0:10:41.920 one didn't have much pop to it. This is that 0:10:42.000 --> 0:10:44.360 little pop to it. So we'll see if I actually 0:10:44.840 --> 0:10:47.200 end up liking it. So that is the tale of 0:10:47.280 --> 0:10:54.520 ringing up as far as the Charlie Horse. So, yeah, 0:10:54.559 --> 0:10:56.640 this is not really big news, but since it's the 0:10:56.679 --> 0:10:59.720 podcast and for some reason, people seem to be interested 0:10:59.720 --> 0:11:02.880 in this off this past week at the Mallard Mansion, 0:11:03.520 --> 0:11:06.559 and we've had we've had some a C issues. It's 0:11:06.600 --> 0:11:09.280 getting that time of the year, although usually in l 0:11:09.360 --> 0:11:12.960 A it's the June gloom and then it gets hot 0:11:12.960 --> 0:11:16.600 in July and August and really September, like August, September 0:11:16.679 --> 0:11:18.920 is the hottest time of the year, but it's supposed 0:11:18.960 --> 0:11:22.160 to get June hot around here. So I was holding 0:11:22.200 --> 0:11:24.400 down fort the fort over there at the Mallard Mansion. 0:11:25.040 --> 0:11:28.760 My wife had scheduled a friend of the family to 0:11:28.920 --> 0:11:32.920 come check out the air condition and this happened while 0:11:33.000 --> 0:11:37.640 I was prepping for the show. And as you know, Danny, 0:11:37.679 --> 0:11:42.560 there's a there's a method to the madness, and I 0:11:42.640 --> 0:11:46.880 have a routine. We all have routines, very methodical. I 0:11:47.480 --> 0:11:50.240 often start out paranoid that I won't have anything interesting 0:11:50.240 --> 0:11:52.559 that I want to talk about, and then then I'll 0:11:52.640 --> 0:11:54.400 end up finding too much stuff and I won't have 0:11:54.480 --> 0:11:58.040 enough time for But anyway, I desperately try to turn 0:11:58.080 --> 0:12:01.560 over every rock, leave no stone unturned, right, that's my goal. 0:12:02.320 --> 0:12:04.640 If someone's gonna give their time up to listen to 0:12:04.679 --> 0:12:06.360 this dopey radio show. I want to make sure I 0:12:06.400 --> 0:12:09.480 put my time to give them something that they will appreciate. 0:12:09.520 --> 0:12:11.720 So I spent a lot of time on it, scouring 0:12:11.760 --> 0:12:15.440 the globe for content. Uh. There's a term that that 0:12:15.520 --> 0:12:17.480 I remember when I was a kid growing up in 0:12:17.520 --> 0:12:20.240 a a Jewish household that you're you're trying to find 0:12:20.240 --> 0:12:24.120 the offie coon, like the hidden maza, uh hidden jewel. 0:12:24.600 --> 0:12:28.040 So all of this is happening, and the air conditioning 0:12:28.080 --> 0:12:29.720 guy comes over and I've met this guy in the 0:12:29.760 --> 0:12:33.040 past at a social event a friend of my my 0:12:33.080 --> 0:12:36.959 wife said, Uh, so I met the guy and you know, 0:12:37.080 --> 0:12:39.120 nice guy and all that, but I really know him. 0:12:39.240 --> 0:12:41.960 And um my wife said, he's a fan of the show. 0:12:42.400 --> 0:12:44.960 And but she said she told him, don't really talk 0:12:45.000 --> 0:12:48.120 to Ben because it'll be busy, which I appreciate. You know, 0:12:48.160 --> 0:12:49.760 I'm willing to talk, but I you know, I'm not 0:12:49.800 --> 0:12:53.560 a big small talk guy. But so anyway, so he 0:12:53.640 --> 0:12:56.760 comes in and he's doing the whole he's checking out 0:12:56.760 --> 0:13:00.400 the air conditioning, pulling wires. There's some electrical issues that 0:13:00.679 --> 0:13:04.840 some some wires had burned together probably years ago, and 0:13:04.920 --> 0:13:06.760 I we moved in here and we had to get 0:13:06.760 --> 0:13:12.000 it fixed. So he's coming over about every half hour, 0:13:13.320 --> 0:13:16.920 and he's in very places giving me updates. But at 0:13:17.000 --> 0:13:21.640 some point along the way these detailed updates morphed into uh, 0:13:21.679 --> 0:13:23.640 what I would call it Charlie Horse because name is 0:13:23.720 --> 0:13:26.560 Charlie R A c guy. Charlie. He was giving me 0:13:26.880 --> 0:13:30.800 the inside skinny Danny. Now. I love the fact that 0:13:30.840 --> 0:13:34.000 he enjoys the show. And he had mentioned he was 0:13:34.080 --> 0:13:36.440 relaying some of the things that had happened on the 0:13:36.440 --> 0:13:38.440 show that he had heard because he don't listen every night, 0:13:38.760 --> 0:13:40.640 because most people can't listen to every night because he's 0:13:40.640 --> 0:13:45.160 not over. So Charlie is he's going through? Yeah, I 0:13:45.200 --> 0:13:47.079 heard you. He took a call from this guy and 0:13:47.120 --> 0:13:50.040 then I really liked that, and he he likes the callers. 0:13:50.080 --> 0:13:52.240 He thinks that's a good part of the show. Not 0:13:52.280 --> 0:13:53.920 really a podcast guest. So I think we're okay. I 0:13:53.920 --> 0:13:55.520 don't think he listened to the pocket and if we 0:13:55.559 --> 0:13:57.800 are were in trouble. If he does, were in trouble, 0:13:57.840 --> 0:14:00.760 you're not in trouble. I'm in trouble. Um. He also 0:14:00.840 --> 0:14:05.199 loves Phil Henry, so then he like every time he 0:14:05.320 --> 0:14:07.000 thinks would get cranked up a little bit, like the 0:14:07.040 --> 0:14:08.440 first time. I was like, hey, I like the show. 0:14:08.480 --> 0:14:10.160 You know, here's what's going on with d C. And 0:14:10.160 --> 0:14:12.240 then half an hour later he'd come back. Here's an update. 0:14:12.480 --> 0:14:14.160 By the way, I loved Phil Hendon. I used to 0:14:14.160 --> 0:14:16.000 listen to him all the time on cafe in l A. 0:14:16.400 --> 0:14:18.360 And then he said I I he tell me like 0:14:18.520 --> 0:14:20.960 a bit that Phil Henry And he's like, did you 0:14:20.960 --> 0:14:22.320 ever meet Phil? I said, yes, I did. He used 0:14:22.320 --> 0:14:24.080 to work at the Premier Networks back and I did 0:14:24.080 --> 0:14:26.200 meet Phil. Oh really, what was he like? I really 0:14:26.240 --> 0:14:27.920 didn't know him that well. You know, I met him, 0:14:27.960 --> 0:14:29.960 but it's a casual meeting and we didn't really talk. 0:14:30.560 --> 0:14:34.120 And he said, okay, okay, and uh as I think 0:14:34.160 --> 0:14:35.560 Phil is doing a podcast now. So I said, well, 0:14:35.560 --> 0:14:36.960 why don't you listen to his podcast all he's doing 0:14:37.000 --> 0:14:39.120 a podcast. I said, yeah, I think he's doing a podcast. 0:14:39.200 --> 0:14:41.080 And then and I was like, oh, wait a minute, 0:14:41.080 --> 0:14:43.760 because I am friends with Phil henry On on Facebook. 0:14:43.800 --> 0:14:45.320 So I was like, oh, I'll just I'll look it 0:14:45.400 --> 0:14:48.200 up or whatever and I'll get back to you. So 0:14:48.200 --> 0:14:51.640 so he leaves, he comes back again half he was 0:14:51.680 --> 0:14:54.960 here for hours day, come back in half an hour later, 0:14:55.680 --> 0:14:59.000 we're talking about you know, solar and this, that and 0:14:59.040 --> 0:15:00.600 the other thing. And he's saying he he has like 0:15:00.640 --> 0:15:02.320 sleep at me, and he said, you can get an 0:15:02.320 --> 0:15:05.680 exemption for your power if you have sleep at me. Yeah, 0:15:05.840 --> 0:15:08.400 so that's kind of cool. Yeah, apparently, you know, in 0:15:08.480 --> 0:15:10.680 California they tax you if you go over a certain 0:15:10.720 --> 0:15:14.560 threshold with your But he said, if you have like 0:15:14.600 --> 0:15:17.880 a sleep condition, our health condition, you can have your 0:15:17.920 --> 0:15:20.320 doctor write a note and that you will always stay 0:15:20.320 --> 0:15:24.560 in tier one. Wo. Yeah, so if anyone. I don't 0:15:24.560 --> 0:15:26.880 know if that works in other states other than California, 0:15:27.040 --> 0:15:29.200 but that was like an interesting life fact. So then 0:15:29.240 --> 0:15:31.800 we move on from that, and now he's telling me 0:15:31.840 --> 0:15:38.120 he's got these black Russian Terrier service dogs. Now I 0:15:38.200 --> 0:15:41.240 didn't know what a black Russian Terrier dog looks like. 0:15:41.600 --> 0:15:44.520 These dogs are the size of a human being. Danny, 0:15:44.560 --> 0:15:47.320 I hate the curse, but this thing weighs about a 0:15:47.360 --> 0:15:54.400 hundred thirty pounds. It's massive. Ear unbelieved was one of 0:15:54.400 --> 0:15:56.280 the biggest, he says to me, shows me a photo. 0:15:58.320 --> 0:16:00.160 He's like, yeah, my wife doesn't like the dog on 0:16:00.200 --> 0:16:01.680 the bed, but one night, you know, I let the 0:16:01.720 --> 0:16:03.640 dog on the bed. The dogs like a human being 0:16:03.760 --> 0:16:08.120 in the bed. That dogs licked that whole thing. He's 0:16:08.320 --> 0:16:11.760 your best friends. Yeah, we're pals. Now we're boys, man, 0:16:12.280 --> 0:16:16.320 me and Charlie and and so I I was, I 0:16:16.360 --> 0:16:19.320 was looking at this, this Russian terry, the black Russian terry, 0:16:19.320 --> 0:16:22.440 and I was thinking, boy blind Scott and his dog 0:16:22.560 --> 0:16:26.760 Dylan would be so freaked out if they saw obviously 0:16:26.760 --> 0:16:27.960 good to see it, but if they if they were 0:16:28.000 --> 0:16:31.760 aware of how big huge. And I looked it up. 0:16:31.800 --> 0:16:35.960 The dog was created in the USSR in the Red 0:16:36.080 --> 0:16:40.880 Star kennel for military use. It's a military trained dog anyway, 0:16:40.920 --> 0:16:43.840 So this this one on and I did the math 0:16:43.920 --> 0:16:47.080 on it. When when Charlie finally left, very nice man, Charlie, 0:16:47.200 --> 0:16:49.160 very good, and he's apparently he's great at the air 0:16:49.200 --> 0:16:52.360 condition he's really good at air conditioning stuff, and that 0:16:52.480 --> 0:16:55.240 the electricity and and wiring and all that crap, which 0:16:55.280 --> 0:17:00.920 is important. Uh, but I estimate we spent ninety minutes talk. 0:17:01.640 --> 0:17:03.600 I'm not exaggerating, but I think it was not because 0:17:03.600 --> 0:17:06.320 every time he came over it got a little longer 0:17:06.359 --> 0:17:08.879 and a little longer, and then when he left, there 0:17:08.960 --> 0:17:12.080 was like an added twenty minutes on top of that. 0:17:12.480 --> 0:17:14.800 And did you do the cut off movie or the 0:17:14.800 --> 0:17:17.760 the end of the conversation. Was it an open end 0:17:17.840 --> 0:17:19.760 where you kept trying to end it but then it 0:17:19.880 --> 0:17:23.719 kept continuing. Yeah, So I had my laptop open, so 0:17:23.760 --> 0:17:26.359 I'm watching a ball game watching I was watching the 0:17:26.359 --> 0:17:28.560 Blue Jays were playing the Royal So I'm watching this 0:17:28.720 --> 0:17:32.680 right and okay, all right, thanks, But he's not making 0:17:32.760 --> 0:17:34.880 eye context. So I'm trying to do the whole eye 0:17:34.880 --> 0:17:37.680 contact things like I'm looking at it, and he didn't. 0:17:37.840 --> 0:17:40.840 He didn't make eye contact, so I couldn't. It was 0:17:40.920 --> 0:17:43.880 nice of you to do ninety minutes because you're very 0:17:44.000 --> 0:17:46.960 antisocial normal I am. I am. My wife said, you 0:17:47.000 --> 0:17:49.720 just gotta cut him off, Like that's what my My 0:17:50.200 --> 0:17:51.720 father in law just cut him off. That's so you 0:17:51.720 --> 0:17:53.440 have to cut him. No, I don't. I don't want 0:17:53.440 --> 0:17:55.000 to be rude. The guy's a Fanish show. I don't 0:17:55.000 --> 0:17:56.960 want to be a dick. You don't wanna be Ada 0:17:57.040 --> 0:17:58.760 and the guys a fan of the show, and I 0:17:58.800 --> 0:18:00.560 don't want to be an a hole. So what am 0:18:00.560 --> 0:18:04.400 I supposed to do? You know, hosts will have very 0:18:04.480 --> 0:18:10.639 outgoing personalities, it's real. But because you're outgoing on the 0:18:10.640 --> 0:18:14.040 air for all those hours off the radio, you don't 0:18:14.080 --> 0:18:17.040 really want to talk that much. Yeah, you save it 0:18:17.080 --> 0:18:19.800 for the show. The reason we don't talk a lot 0:18:19.920 --> 0:18:22.520 of before the show or anything like that. Yeah, you 0:18:22.560 --> 0:18:25.879 gotta say you don't want to waste anything because we 0:18:25.880 --> 0:18:28.040 we've talked about this to Danny both being in the 0:18:28.119 --> 0:18:30.560 radio business a long time. When you do something in 0:18:30.560 --> 0:18:33.240 a meeting and it's pretty good, you're like, oh, that's 0:18:33.720 --> 0:18:35.000 that should be on the air, and then you try 0:18:35.040 --> 0:18:38.000 it on there, it's never the same. Yeah, there's no 0:18:38.080 --> 0:18:41.480 good take two's you lose your edge on that. You 0:18:41.560 --> 0:18:43.040 lose your edge and then you need to go out 0:18:43.080 --> 0:18:45.160 and buy a Winter Parker. And he said, why would 0:18:45.160 --> 0:18:47.720 you need a winter Parker because it's June, But Danny 0:18:47.760 --> 0:18:51.000 will explain. Yeah, And this kind of ties into your 0:18:51.119 --> 0:18:54.600 air conditioning story. You know, I'm a couple hours away 0:18:54.640 --> 0:19:00.280 from you. My part of southern California has heated up already. 0:19:00.760 --> 0:19:04.879 It is that Chatsworth heat. You know what that is? Yeah? Yeah, 0:19:04.920 --> 0:19:10.040 oh boy, that's blazing sun hitting the rocks and Chatsworth. 0:19:10.720 --> 0:19:14.920 It's that kind of heat where it feels like death valley. Yeah, 0:19:15.000 --> 0:19:18.400 it's bad. Now what I lived, I never have lived 0:19:18.400 --> 0:19:20.960 in the San Fernando Valley where you are. I lived 0:19:21.000 --> 0:19:25.679 in the San Gabriel Valley, which was also horrific. It 0:19:25.720 --> 0:19:28.840 was like living in a blow torch near the mountains there, 0:19:28.840 --> 0:19:31.320 the foothills. I loved it. They're it was beautiful, but 0:19:31.400 --> 0:19:33.760 it was so hot in the summer. But yeah, and 0:19:33.800 --> 0:19:35.520 I only know like the San Fernando vo I worked 0:19:35.520 --> 0:19:39.280 in Burbank, which is hot, and obviously Sherman Oaks where 0:19:39.280 --> 0:19:42.880 the studios are, and it's brutal. It's just I can 0:19:42.880 --> 0:19:45.879 only and further the further you get out where you 0:19:45.920 --> 0:19:47.399 are in that part of the valley. For those not 0:19:47.440 --> 0:19:49.720 familiar to chats Worth, which at one point was the 0:19:49.760 --> 0:19:55.080 porn capital, Yeah, the adult industries headquarters. I don't think 0:19:55.080 --> 0:19:57.680 it is anymore, but for a while I think there's 0:19:57.960 --> 0:19:59.680 a fair amount of people still there that do that. 0:19:59.760 --> 0:20:02.959 But it's not like it was. Yeah, it's a border 0:20:03.000 --> 0:20:07.360 town of San Fernando Valley in Ventura County and one 0:20:07.359 --> 0:20:10.959 of the hottest places in southern California. Ninety four feels 0:20:11.000 --> 0:20:13.800 like a hundred and four And they'll usually call the 0:20:13.880 --> 0:20:17.439 kids inside the classroom because it's just too hot to 0:20:17.520 --> 0:20:21.200 be outside for the kids. So We encountered this at 0:20:21.200 --> 0:20:25.080 summer school on Friday. First recess was early enough to 0:20:25.119 --> 0:20:27.880 where yeah I was in the eighties. It was hot, 0:20:27.920 --> 0:20:31.280 but you know, we're doing okay. But then we get 0:20:31.400 --> 0:20:35.240 to the afternoon and I hear two announcements on the radio. 0:20:35.880 --> 0:20:39.000 The first one says, and I had seen this kid 0:20:39.040 --> 0:20:41.680 Ben and I talked to him, but he wouldn't listen 0:20:41.720 --> 0:20:47.040 to me. The announcement over the radios, though, said, will 0:20:47.119 --> 0:20:51.320 somebody please escort the kid wearing the winter parka to 0:20:51.480 --> 0:20:56.920 the office. What? Yeah, this kid, his name is san Gee. 0:20:57.760 --> 0:21:04.120 He refuses to take his win her parka off. Then 0:21:04.560 --> 0:21:08.719 I had kids on the basketball court that we're getting 0:21:08.800 --> 0:21:12.840 the yard duties, whistles blown because the boys were taking 0:21:12.880 --> 0:21:16.400 their shirts off. You know, this is elementary school, so 0:21:17.000 --> 0:21:19.960 some of the fifth grade boys were like wearing tank 0:21:20.040 --> 0:21:22.679 tops and trying to do that trick where they flipped 0:21:22.720 --> 0:21:25.919 their shirt up because it's so hot. They wanted to 0:21:25.920 --> 0:21:30.000 play basketball, but they're also trying to be at the 0:21:30.160 --> 0:21:33.000 y m c A and take their shirt off. Meanwhile, 0:21:33.119 --> 0:21:38.000 san Gee is walking around the campus wearing jeans, a 0:21:38.119 --> 0:21:42.600 long sleeve T shirt and a winter parka. Wow, so 0:21:42.640 --> 0:21:45.800 this is it's like a lioness had the blanket and 0:21:45.800 --> 0:21:48.760 the peanuts, and this is this kid's thing is the park? 0:21:49.840 --> 0:21:52.080 What's the hiding? Is there something he's trying to hide 0:21:52.119 --> 0:21:56.960 or Man? Now, I saw him about an hour before 0:21:57.000 --> 0:22:00.639 this radio call. When I saw him, I said, dude, 0:22:01.119 --> 0:22:03.960 what are you doing? Take your jacket off. You're gonna 0:22:04.040 --> 0:22:07.640 die of a heat stroke. I'm not hot, he said, 0:22:07.680 --> 0:22:11.480
