He's the last remnants 3 00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:12,440 Speaker 1: of the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He 4 00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:15,480 Speaker 1: treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the 5 00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:19,880 Speaker 1: rich pill poppers in the penthouse.

That's the sound we dread, Danny, 13 00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 1: when when you're talking to cricket, Jiminy cricket, that's not 14 00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:04,720 Speaker 1: a good thing. That is not a good thing. But 15 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:07,680 Speaker 1: we're we're back at it again here in a jam 16 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:13,639 Speaker 1: packed Saturday show. I enjoyed the conversation on Friday about 17 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:20,119 Speaker 1: Tom Brady and Drew Brees and Sham Sharania. Uh. There's 18 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:23,760 Speaker 1: some interesting nuggets in the Friday podcast, so I hope 19 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,320 Speaker 1: people enjoyed that. I don't care really whether they did 20 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,679 Speaker 1: or not, Danny, because I enjoyed it. That's the kind 21 00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:30,920 Speaker 1: of stuff I like, talking about the dirt, the gossip 22 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 1: in the media business, and so I enjoyed that a lot. Yeah, 23 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,840 Speaker 1: those are your roots. You're like the godfather of that 24 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:41,120 Speaker 1: kind of reporting. Yeah, but I'm becoming old now, so 25 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,600 Speaker 1: nobody knows, like the people that are doing it now. 26 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:45,600 Speaker 1: I have no idea that I did it for a 27 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 1: while in the the wild West smoke weed of the 28 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 1: blogger sphere back in the back in the and I'm 29 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 1: only a few bad shows away, Danny from getting back 30 00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:00,280 Speaker 1: into the blogger sphere. So people have asked me from 31 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 1: time to time. I'll get emails some people say I 32 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,800 Speaker 1: love the website, why don't you bring the website back? 33 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:09,680 Speaker 1: And my initial response is always uh, okay, is there 34 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:11,799 Speaker 1: a dollar amount on that, you know, something like that, 35 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:15,040 Speaker 1: And then and then they say no, there's no there's 36 00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,120 Speaker 1: no dollar amounting that. And then I I said, well, 37 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:18,960 Speaker 1: it depends what happens with the radio show. So if 38 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,240 Speaker 1: the radio show is going well, probably not gonna do it. 39 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 1: But it's changed a lot. And I and Ryan did 40 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,840 Speaker 1: mention that Twitter made some changes. The reason I got 41 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 1: out of the blog stuff was because social media killed me. 42 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,520 Speaker 1: My traffic. People were just they weren't. They weren't clicking 43 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 1: and clicking on the stuff. So it's interesting. It's crazy 44 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 1: because Ben Mallory dot com was so long ago that 45 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 1: you actually had to use dial up to get Yes, 46 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 1: it was A O L. Yeah, that's when you know 47 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,800 Speaker 1: you're the veteran o G. Now you know you have 48 00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:00,240 Speaker 1: a an AO L email account. That's a sign year 49 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 1: old when you have an A O L email account. Now, 50 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:05,680 Speaker 1: I have an A O L account for email, but 51 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 1: I only use it for spam. When you go to 52 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 1: when you go to a game Danny and they're like, hey, 53 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 1: you want to get this freeze sweater or towel, you 54 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,639 Speaker 1: gotta sign up and what's your email? I'm like, all right, 55 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 1: put that in there. They give you a round of applause, 56 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,640 Speaker 1: they give you your item, and and that's it. You 57 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,679 Speaker 1: move on. Yeah. I have a very old Yahoo account, 58 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 1: and I think a lot of people have like old Yahoo's, 59 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,959 Speaker 1: our old hot mails or old A O L s. 60 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 1: And it's something like really embarrassing now that we're adults, 61 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 1: because we set them up as kids. It's like big 62 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 1: G pimpin at Yahoo dot com. Yeah, for sure, for sure, 63 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:55,120 Speaker 1: my a O l account is the first radio station 64 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:56,760 Speaker 1: I worked as I was at Older But the first 65 00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 1: radio station I worked at I had the dial position 66 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 1: is the is the end of the email address. So 67 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 1: I am such a radio loser. So on this podcast 68 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:14,440 Speaker 1: we've got Robert Van Winkle double take the wellness check 69 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,560 Speaker 1: and uh and I'm sure Danny that you've got some 70 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:23,279 Speaker 1: amazing factoids to add to this nonsense. Yes, yeah, we 71 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 1: can call mine a buzz in the air a buzz 72 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 1: in the air, but not everywhere, not everywhere, alright. So, 73 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,600 Speaker 1: since this is the Saturday podcast, for some reason, people 74 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:34,600 Speaker 1: seem to enjoy the life of Mallory the life of 75 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 1: Danny g And it has been a rather mundane week 76 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 1: as I'm still trying to get back to the non 77 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:49,040 Speaker 1: travel lifestyle and the daily grind at the radio Salt Mine. 78 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,360 Speaker 1: But I did have a few developments that I wanted 79 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:55,599 Speaker 1: to share with the class. I drink a ton of water. 80 00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 1: I want a camel That's my go to drink. Now 81 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,680 Speaker 1: on the weekends, all go crazy to have some lemonade. 82 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 1: I'll go really wild, have a thing of lemonade and 83 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:08,560 Speaker 1: everyone's like, oh, been drinking lemonade. But I do like 84 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 1: to lemonade on the weekends, but during the week it's 85 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:14,080 Speaker 1: mostly water, and I love cold water. They in a 86 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:17,360 Speaker 1: cold water I read somewhere on the internet years ago, 87 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,600 Speaker 1: Danny that if you drink cold water, it's actually better 88 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 1: for you that you burn calories. Drinking cold water like 89 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,480 Speaker 1: speeds up your metabolism. Yeah. Yeah, so I believe that 90 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,160 Speaker 1: it's probably bull crap, but I believe it, and I've 91 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 1: always had cold water. And at the new Mallard mansion, 92 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 1: we guy it's really extravagant refrigerator that my wife picked out. 93 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 1: I had nothing to do with it. The ice machine, though, 94 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:40,839 Speaker 1: is not is not hooked up. They have an ice machine. 95 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 1: It's not working for whatever reason. So I've had to 96 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 1: go old school pour the water into the trays to 97 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 1: get ice. Somehow lost in translation or lost in the move, 98 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,599 Speaker 1: I should say, when we moved from the old Mallard 99 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 1: mansion to the north Woods here, I ended up losing 100 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 1: these big ice trays with the blocks of ice. You 101 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:03,920 Speaker 1: can't see my hands if you're listening, but Danny can 102 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 1: see like this big. I mean, they were huge chunks 103 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 1: of ice and it was great because you put two 104 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:13,200 Speaker 1: of those things in there and it lasted like for 105 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 1: twelve hours. You had you had ice water. It's perfect, 106 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 1: basically the opposite of sonics. Little tiny ice cubes. Yeah yeah, 107 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 1: we had blocks of ice as thick as your skull. Yeah. Man, 108 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 1: I could kill someone. I could throw These are the 109 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,480 Speaker 1: size of a softball, these things. I so, anyway, I 110 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 1: don't have those anymore. And I just had these two 111 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 1: little piss an ice traight and and and that's it. 112 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:41,359 Speaker 1: I love the word pissing because I worked at w 113 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 1: e I. There was a guy that got in a 114 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,760 Speaker 1: hell of a lot of trouble at e I because 115 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 1: he called I think it was Tom Brady's daughter a 116 00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 1: piss hand blank my blank and blank you. And he 117 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 1: got in so much trouble for that. But but anyways, 118 00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 1: it's it's like many ice cubes. So for some reason, 119 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,279 Speaker 1: I don't know how this happened, probably because I was like, 120 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:05,559 Speaker 1: this is but I was gonna keep refilling the ice trays. 121 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 1: So I fell down a rabbit hole on the internet 122 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 1: and I decided I'm gonna crank my game up. And 123 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 1: the result, thanks to Amazon and some purchases that were made. 124 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:22,520 Speaker 1: You can now call me the new iceman name forget 125 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,880 Speaker 1: George Gerbin, that old NBA player, because I went down 126 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 1: this this icy path and I am now the proud 127 00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 1: owner dame of pretty much all shapes possible of ice 128 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:42,240 Speaker 1: trace And I've not really experimented too much with this, 129 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 1: but I just got them. I have the big block 130 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 1: like I used to have. I have a round ball 131 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:55,200 Speaker 1: ice tray. I can make little diamonds, like mid sized diamonds. 132 00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 1: And the one that I got as an active romance 133 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:04,920 Speaker 1: row wose pedal shaped ice.

Next level would be your initials in 154 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:21,440 Speaker 1: ice cubes. Oh well, either one of my initials would 155 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:23,839 Speaker 1: be be awkward in ice cubes at b M or 156 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 1: bs my middle name.

Who knows, I have no idea. 158 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:36,079 Speaker 1: Uh So anyway, so that was the ice the ice 159 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 1: drama rama. I also there was one other things, but 160 00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:41,600 Speaker 1: a couple of things that that popped into my head 161 00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:44,920 Speaker 1: here the last weekend. So I had another We had 162 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:47,800 Speaker 1: another heat wave, pretty hot for a couple of days 163 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:50,640 Speaker 1: last week. Yeah, I got little hot. So when the 164 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:52,839 Speaker 1: temperature rises, what are we do in California? When the 165 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,319 Speaker 1: temperature rises in southern California, where do we go off 166 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 1: our clothes. Well, we do that, and then we head west. 167 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:02,520 Speaker 1: You can only go so far west. But when you 168 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,320 Speaker 1: go to the very end of the map is the 169 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 1: mighty Pacific, right, the mighty Pacific Ocean smoke. And so 170 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 1: I found myself back at the Pacific Ocean, and I 171 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:16,440 Speaker 1: do not actually enjoy going in the water. I think 172 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 1: I've talked about this in the past on the podcast, 173 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 1: probably not with you, but I saved that for tropical 174 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,080 Speaker 1: looks like I'll go to Hawaii once every five ten 175 00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:27,720 Speaker 1: years or whatever, and I'll go in the water. Or 176 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:29,800 Speaker 1: I like, you know what, I like Catalina, which is 177 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,320 Speaker 1: off the coast of l A here little island. I 178 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:35,880 Speaker 1: like that. I've been, you've never been. That's a great 179 00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:39,000 Speaker 1: It's rather pricey now, but it's kind of a cool 180 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:45,320 Speaker 1: little getaway. You take a boat for an hour long beach, right, yeah, 181 00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:48,960 Speaker 1: long beach. Just several locations you can leave from. And 182 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 1: there's probably would maybe even closer for you. I'm not sure, 183 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:53,959 Speaker 1: you have to double check, but yeah, it's great. There's 184 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:57,880 Speaker 1: like one town Avalon in Catalina. They've got a little 185 00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:01,000 Speaker 1: stretch of beach. Yeah, they got a team station out there. 186 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 1: Do they is right. I had no idea. I thought 187 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 1: it would be cool if I had, if I had 188 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 1: Colin cowhard money, like I would buy a place on 189 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:12,719 Speaker 1: Catalina and like hang out there on a Weekause I 190 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:14,640 Speaker 1: don't have that kind of money. And I don't have 191 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,920 Speaker 1: a boat. And everyone that's ever owned a boat around 192 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 1: me as always said, don't buy a boat. So I 193 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,720 Speaker 1: don't have a boat. And have you ever been you 194 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:24,520 Speaker 1: ever been a boat guy? Danny ever hung out with 195 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 1: people that have boats? Just the fishing boat that I 196 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:32,080 Speaker 1: talked about last weekend? Yeah, No, as far as somebody 197 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 1: like owning a boat, keeping it, maintaining it, no, I've 198 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 1: always heard the same thing that you were just saying, 199 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,120 Speaker 1: it's not a good investment. Remember when Chick her In 200 00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,360 Speaker 1: the Laker Broadcaster used to do the commercials for the 201 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:47,320 Speaker 1: boat show. That's right. Yes, I don't know why that 202 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 1: popped in my head. I have no idea, but it's 203 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:53,920 Speaker 1: just stupid things. Yeah. I think of our friend, the 204 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 1: late great Frank Pollock too when it comes to boats. 205 00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:00,960 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Frank the big cod piece. Never heard of him. 206 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:05,640 Speaker 1: Frank Pollock loved he loved the water and boats. And 207 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,320 Speaker 1: I always love the fact that Frank Pollock was a 208 00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:13,200 Speaker 1: member of a fishing club in Compton, middle aged, tasty, 209 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:16,840 Speaker 1: white guy, Frank Pollock and back in the old days 210 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:22,200 Speaker 1: before Compton became Compton as it's no, you know, kind 211 00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:26,480 Speaker 1: of it's modern, modern perspective, but it was. It was 212 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:30,280 Speaker 1: like like fishing places. And he took ice Cube out 213 00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:33,479 Speaker 1: on the water before ice Cube was like yeah. They 214 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:36,679 Speaker 1: both looked at the water and they said, yeah, let's go. 215 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:38,840 Speaker 1: So no, I I do like going to Cattline and 216 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:40,960 Speaker 1: I go in the water there. You should. You should 217 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,920 Speaker 1: take the Tinderroni, the Queen Tindroni out there. She'd been there. 218 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,600 Speaker 1: I bet she's probably been there. She has, Yeah, she 219 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:50,000 Speaker 1: mentioned us going out there. We just haven't got around 220 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:52,080 Speaker 1: to it. But yeah, I would like to see it. 221 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:54,400 Speaker 1: It's a great day trip now you there are hotels 222 00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 1: that you could spend the night. It shuts down at 223 00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:01,040 Speaker 1: around nine o'clock. There's a movie theater. They a one movie, 224 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 1: one movie. There's a big it's a really cool old 225 00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:09,720 Speaker 1: theater which they called the Casino on Catalina and the 226 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:13,440 Speaker 1: Chicago Cubs used to have spring training on that island. 227 00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 1: The Wrigley family. That was where they that that was 228 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 1: their land. They still own the Wrigley Cartel. Most of 229 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:23,560 Speaker 1: the island you can't go on because it's it's all 230 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:28,800 Speaker 1: there's buffalo roaming around and craft like that's crazy. So 231 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 1: one of my my hobby on the weekends, I go 232 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:34,760 Speaker 1: down and I aimlessly walk up and down. I wander 233 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:37,960 Speaker 1: up and down the coast while my feet and my 234 00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:40,920 Speaker 1: lower legs go split splash. And my wife actually likes 235 00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:45,080 Speaker 1: going to the ocean. I don't not here, and so 236 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,640 Speaker 1: she was doing anything. I was walking and it was 237 00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:49,960 Speaker 1: so hot, the beach was packed. We had a wait 238 00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,080 Speaker 1: in Lyne to get in the park. It was insane. 239 00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:55,400 Speaker 1: So we we we all will meet up every so often. 240 00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:57,480 Speaker 1: We have a little pow wow on the tent where 241 00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:59,920 Speaker 1: we will will meet showing the ocean. I'll go walking. 242 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,360 Speaker 1: But I don't call it a tent. By the way, 243 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:04,920 Speaker 1: then you know what I call it a dressing room. No, 244 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 1: a beach cabana. Doesn't that sound more exotic than just 245 00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,880 Speaker 1: sounds like you rented it. Yeah, yeah, it's my beach 246 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:17,000 Speaker 1: cabana and uh and I have noticed it is pretty 247 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:20,280 Speaker 1: neat when you close the windows, like the zipper windows 248 00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:23,920 Speaker 1: on the side it does feel like you're in a cabana, 249 00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 1: like you're in your own little private world. It's kind 250 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:29,480 Speaker 1: of neat. Sounds more exotic that way, anyway. So get 251 00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:31,360 Speaker 1: to the point, please, So that the beach was a madhouse. 252 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:35,040 Speaker 1: It looks like it looked like tent city, massive humanity. 253 00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:38,480 Speaker 1: Anyone's got a tent and I'm doing my ten thousand steps. 254 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:41,880 Speaker 1: It's like a steeple chase, though. Um Dodge and land 255 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:44,400 Speaker 1: Mine says, a mix a lot of kids mixed with 256 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:48,440 Speaker 1: old people, and so there's a lot of lateral movement 257 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,200 Speaker 1: going around. As I'm walking down the beach, and there 258 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:54,080 Speaker 1: the sand castles I could see as far as I 259 00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:57,160 Speaker 1: could see, there were sand cows. Kids were having a field, 260 00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:01,840 Speaker 1: and I'm traveling by ankle express and I'm walking around. 261 00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,760 Speaker 1: You're moving my ankle and showing great lateral movement, as 262 00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:07,440 Speaker 1: I said. But I get down near the the end 263 00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,480 Speaker 1: of like one side of where the beach kind of 264 00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:12,760 Speaker 1: cut off, and then you had to go back, and 265 00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:14,600 Speaker 1: I had to do a double take because they were 266 00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:19,560 Speaker 1: probably thirty five or forty kids all making sand castles, 267 00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:21,840 Speaker 1: playing in the water, in the ocean, and in the 268 00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:29,800 Speaker 1: middle of this sandy like kindergarten type thing. There's a 269 00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:34,400 Speaker 1: woman wearing a bikini. But it's not that she was 270 00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:36,440 Speaker 1: like miss Universe or anything like that. That's not why 271 00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:39,760 Speaker 1: I'm bringing this up. The reason I did a double take, though, 272 00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:42,720 Speaker 1: is she standing on these kids or whatever. She's in 273 00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:46,200 Speaker 1: the water and she left a hand of God, she 274 00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:50,640 Speaker 1: left a vapor trail around her, and she was vaping 275 00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:53,880 Speaker 1: while standing. It was very odd to me. I don't know. 276 00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:55,800 Speaker 1: I don't know why that did. Like the visuals seemed 277 00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 1: very odd, like she couldn't like stop for I don't know. 278 00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,400 Speaker 1: This is very odd. Like you're in the water, you've 279 00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:05,000 Speaker 1: got to bring your vape pen with you into the water. Now, 280 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:08,120 Speaker 1: that's an addict, That's what I'm saying. Right, I'm looking 281 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:10,160 Speaker 1: at something. What are you doing here? I mean, it's 282 00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:12,080 Speaker 1: come on, you can't leave it in a tent for 283 00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:14,560 Speaker 1: for five minutes and then go back to the go 284 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,480 Speaker 1: out of the water and go back and uh, it's 285 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:21,640 Speaker 1: very odd. Yeah, public vapors really bug me because it's 286 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 1: flavored smoke. It think it's okay to blow it in 287 00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:29,520 Speaker 1: everybody's face. That is correct, yes, yes, And it's very 288 00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:32,000 Speaker 1: the punt there's a pungent smell to it too. You 289 00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:37,480 Speaker 1: definitely you can taste it secondhand for sure. Anyway, So 290 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:41,160 Speaker 1: they your world, Danny g let's get down to business. 291 00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:43,680 Speaker 1: Enough about me, it's all about you. I'm looking for 292 00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,800 Speaker 1: my vape pen right now. Yeah, it's it's in your car. 293 00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:52,600 Speaker 1: I think you go out your car back in a second, exactly. 294 00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:58,560 Speaker 1: I mean it's winding down here. The last day of 295 00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:03,920 Speaker 1: school in my district is May quickly coming up on it. 296 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:07,680 Speaker 1: This is gonna be the last week of school. Boy. 297 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:10,280 Speaker 1: You could feel it in the air everywhere on the 298 00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:17,160 Speaker 1: campus because the adults are giving up. We're not enforcing 299 00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:21,840 Speaker 1: any rules. Uh. It's funny because our dean, he's really good, 300 00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:24,720 Speaker 1: and he's really good at, you know, keeping the kids 301 00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:28,240 Speaker 1: in line. But yet he's a nice guy. But last 302 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:31,920 Speaker 1: week I overheard him saying, just let him do it. 303 00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:39,719 Speaker 1: I've never yeah, I've never heard those words come out 304 00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:45,000 Speaker 1: of his mouth before. So that was awesome. A prior 305 00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:48,440 Speaker 1: episode of the podcast, we talked about how the girls 306 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:51,720 Speaker 1: already won their petition in their battle over the dress code. 307 00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:55,920 Speaker 1: I have a statin night gone on. It's been less 308 00:17:55,920 --> 00:18:00,119 Speaker 1: and less closed, more and more smiles and laughter as 309 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:03,280 Speaker 1: we get close to the summertime. It was funny. I 310 00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:07,960 Speaker 1: overheard two girls having a conversation during snack time and 311 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,360 Speaker 1: one of them said to the other, is your mom 312 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:13,399 Speaker 1: gonna make you go to that art camp again? And 313 00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:17,120 Speaker 1: she said, nah, I told my mom I'm not into it. 314 00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:19,720 Speaker 1: She said, I have a lot to do. I'm gonna 315 00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:22,879 Speaker 1: just stay at home. She's like, I'm gonna reorganize my 316 00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:29,040 Speaker 1: bedroom and talk to boys all day she planned out. 317 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,600 Speaker 1: It's like, wow, goal, she's got goals right there. Re 318 00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:35,119 Speaker 1: organize our bedroom and talk to boys all day on 319 00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:39,199 Speaker 1: our computer. Oh. Monday, the eighth graders get to go 320 00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:44,359 Speaker 1: on a field trip to Universal Studios. Very cool. But 321 00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:47,719 Speaker 1: now I feel like when they get back from that trip, 322 00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:50,080 Speaker 1: the rest of the week is gonna be a little 323 00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:55,679 Speaker 1: chaotic because teachers and administrators have been holding this trip 324 00:18:56,119 --> 00:19:00,720 Speaker 1: over their head for weeks and weeks. They've been saying, uh, 325 00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,720 Speaker 1: you're gonna go to the dean's office and you are 326 00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:09,760 Speaker 1: in jeopardy of not going on the Universal trap. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, 327 00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:13,040 Speaker 1: that's right. So when this trip is over, they have 328 00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:16,840 Speaker 1: nothing to hold over the eighth grader's heads any longer. 329 00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:18,480 Speaker 1: You gotta get a carrot on the stick is what 330 00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:21,520 Speaker 1: you gotta get it. You get more carrots for one day. 331 00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:24,159 Speaker 1: I guess they're gonna say, uh, you're not gonna be 332 00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:26,440 Speaker 1: able to graduate with the class. You're not gonna be 333 00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:30,720 Speaker 1: able to go to culmination. But then our school is 334 00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:35,760 Speaker 1: interesting because the culmination is on Tuesday, and then the 335 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:37,760 Speaker 1: kids got to come back to school for a couple 336 00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:42,880 Speaker 1: more days, by congratulations, and we'll see you tomorrow at class. 337 00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:46,160 Speaker 1: What's up with that? That's bad. That seems like somebody 338 00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:48,960 Speaker 1: goofed up the planning on that. I think it's because 339 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:54,080 Speaker 1: there's so many graduations and culminations going on across the 340 00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:56,719 Speaker 1: board that they tried to put theirs on a different 341 00:19:56,800 --> 00:20:01,040 Speaker 1: day as not to compete with the more important graduations 342 00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:03,600 Speaker 1: like high school and you know, some of the other 343 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:07,679 Speaker 1: classes that might be graduating. Because let's be honest, this 344 00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:13,679 Speaker 1: whole thing about kindergarteners walking and getting diploma, yes, it 345 00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 1: is a thing now, yes, And the thing come, why 346 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:19,919 Speaker 1: did that become a thing? It's been a thing for 347 00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:24,320 Speaker 1: a little while now. What I remember from graduating what 348 00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:28,719 Speaker 1: we call junior high back then, Yeah, the elementary school 349 00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,840 Speaker 1: pushed us all out onto the black Top. They played 350 00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:35,000 Speaker 1: Whitney Houston the greatest level all on the loud school 351 00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:39,200 Speaker 1: and I saw a couple of elementary school teachers crying 352 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,359 Speaker 1: and that was it. There were no parents there. It 353 00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:47,679 Speaker 1: was very awkward and that was it. Then they're like, 354 00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:50,399 Speaker 1: by you guys are out of here. See uh And 355 00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:54,359 Speaker 1: it was the last day of school. Now there's chairs, 356 00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:57,879 Speaker 1: there's tickets. The family has to figure out who's going 357 00:20:57,920 --> 00:20:59,920 Speaker 1: to get to attend because there's a limited in my 358 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:03,920 Speaker 1: on the seats. And so it's very similar to graduating 359 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:08,440 Speaker 1: high school. So every but every grade, like just changing grades, 360 00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:10,120 Speaker 1: you get a pat on the back. Is that how 361 00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:11,959 Speaker 1: that works? Like going from it if you're going from 362 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:14,480 Speaker 1: like second to third grade, do you get something? Do 363 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:18,560 Speaker 1: you know that? Yeah? You only have a shining moment 364 00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:22,639 Speaker 1: when you're moving over to a different campus. Okay, yeah, 365 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,439 Speaker 1: so yeah, I guess that's fine. It's like what the 366 00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:29,400 Speaker 1: parents like nowadays. We'll see what happens this final week. 367 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:33,399 Speaker 1: I'm a little anxious because, you know, walking around the 368 00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:37,760 Speaker 1: campus and trying to figure out how to enforce things 369 00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:41,159 Speaker 1: or not enforce things, or just let things go. Like 370 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:44,560 Speaker 1: I walked into a classroom last Friday to give this 371 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:48,040 Speaker 1: important slip to a teacher, and they were watching the 372 00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:52,119 Speaker 1: movie forty two about Jackie Robinson. The teacher paused the 373 00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:54,439 Speaker 1: movie because she was kind of embarrassed that she was 374 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:56,960 Speaker 1: slacking because they're not supposed to have any movies on 375 00:21:57,080 --> 00:22:01,119 Speaker 1: until next week. Okay. He took the slip from me, 376 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:07,400 Speaker 1: and she said, oh, we're talking about social injustices and 377 00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:11,240 Speaker 1: and I'm like, I'm not your boss, it's okay. That's 378 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:15,480 Speaker 1: oh yeah, and she pressed play as I walked out 379 00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:17,120 Speaker 1: of the room, and I'm like, yeah, I don't care. 380 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 1: If it was up to me, you could have started 381 00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:23,880 Speaker 1: movies the week before last week. Yeah, you're announcing you're 382 00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:29,240 Speaker 1: not going to be snitching to anybody, not at all. Teachers, 383 00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:32,960 Speaker 1: go ahead and play movies all this week. Yes, knock 384 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,200 Speaker 1: yourself out. Now are you going to Universal Studios? And 385 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:37,920 Speaker 1: you get Do you get to tag along to the 386 00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,439 Speaker 1: field trip? Danny? You get to go? Yeah? I found 387 00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:42,840 Speaker 1: out that I could have I needed to talk to 388 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:48,800 Speaker 1: Mr Whiteman. Um, I had no idea. Somebody told me 389 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,359 Speaker 1: last week. They're like, oh yeah, yeah, all you needed 390 00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:53,160 Speaker 1: to do was talk to him a few weeks ago, 391 00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:56,800 Speaker 1: and you could have been one of the chaperones. Yeah, 392 00:22:56,840 --> 00:23:01,640 Speaker 1: I didn't know nobody. Nobody gave me that memo. That's wrong, man, wrong, 393 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:03,840 Speaker 1: it is wrong. You should be able to go to that. 394 00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:05,760 Speaker 1: That's uh. I guess next year, now, you know, in 395 00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:08,560 Speaker 1: the future. Exactly, I know how to hook it up now. 396 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:10,640 Speaker 1: So is it one of those things where the kids 397 00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:13,000 Speaker 1: go for like three hours and then have to come back, 398 00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:14,720 Speaker 1: and then they get to go longer than that. I 399 00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:16,399 Speaker 1: got to the because you could spend a lot of 400 00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:19,120 Speaker 1: time in traffic just getting the Universal studios. I would 401 00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:21,640 Speaker 1: think even no, you're not that far away where your 402 00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:24,520 Speaker 1: school is located. The tread at a good point. I 403 00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:27,200 Speaker 1: think they're gonna line the buses up pretty early on 404 00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:30,439 Speaker 1: Monday morning, so they'll try to get there when the 405 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:32,639 Speaker 1: park opens. Yeah, and then it's just kind of a 406 00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:36,000 Speaker 1: free for all. They let the kids run wild and 407 00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,679 Speaker 1: they have meet up points. I saw them having a 408 00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:42,880 Speaker 1: strategic meeting last week amongst the adults about how one 409 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:45,160 Speaker 1: was gonna be with each group of the kids. Yeah, 410 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:49,600 Speaker 1: good luck with that. Yeah, exactly exactly. They're gonna ditch 411 00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:52,960 Speaker 1: the adults. No, no, Now, do the kids have to 412 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,240 Speaker 1: pay to go or is this the Universal studios doing 413 00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:58,760 Speaker 1: some marketing, realizing these kids when they're thirty and forty 414 00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:01,080 Speaker 1: years old will be coming back the Universal studios or 415 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:03,959 Speaker 1: are they charging No, the kids don't have to pay. 416 00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:08,480 Speaker 1: I believe the school is paying the park at a 417 00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:12,119 Speaker 1: reduced price. Got you. Yeah, it's good marketing, like the 418 00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:17,000 Speaker 1: greatest You run a business, and if you can convince kids, 419 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:18,960 Speaker 1: get kids hooked, and then they become adults. That's what 420 00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:22,560 Speaker 1: everyone wants, right McDonald's, the Happy Meal, the greatest thing ever, 421 00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:25,879 Speaker 1: the Happy Meal. Kids grow up, they're like you flash 422 00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:27,720 Speaker 1: back to when you got a little cheesy toy from 423 00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:31,120 Speaker 1: a movie in a Happy Meal when you were eight 424 00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:33,479 Speaker 1: years old. And then you're forty years old, you're like, oh, 425 00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:36,560 Speaker 1: I go back to McDonald's. It brings back memories. No, no, 426 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:40,680 Speaker 1: you're right. To this day, I have people tell me, um, 427 00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:44,399 Speaker 1: oh man, I remember a graduation night at Disneyland. I 428 00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:48,680 Speaker 1: saw Stevie be on stage and stuff like that. So yeah, 429 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:53,400 Speaker 1: people have lifelong memories of sober grad night, graduation night. 430 00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:57,119 Speaker 1: There field trips, and those field trips are some of 431 00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:00,680 Speaker 1: the most memorable times you'll have when you're in school. Yeah, 432 00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:03,480 Speaker 1: you feel like you're escaping from jail like you've you've 433 00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:05,159 Speaker 1: got you've been released, and you get to go with 434 00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:08,520 Speaker 1: all your contemporaries, like all your buddies, and it's it's 435 00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:10,880 Speaker 1: pretty it's pretty good hustle. Remember when I was a kid, 436 00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:14,520 Speaker 1: the Dodgers had a Kid's club and they gave you 437 00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:16,960 Speaker 1: a little membership card and they gave you like a 438 00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:20,040 Speaker 1: bunch of stuff for like ten bucks or something. It 439 00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:21,960 Speaker 1: was ridiculous. I don't even know if they still have that, 440 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:25,639 Speaker 1: but it was it was cool. I didn't want to 441 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,760 Speaker 1: mention a radio friend of mine, Bob Fesco. I go 442 00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:33,040 Speaker 1: on to show every Thursday in Kansas City Royals having 443 00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:38,000 Speaker 1: their Problems on the road. I'm Ben Mallock.

Unfortunately, Danny, I 548 00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:19,040 Speaker 1: went and looked, you're now this is the bit. We 549 00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:20,560 Speaker 1: didn't do this last week. I don't think right, I 550 00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:23,240 Speaker 1: don't think we did this last Now the travelog which 551 00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:25,600 Speaker 1: explains a lot, and I was gone the week before, 552 00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:27,960 Speaker 1: and you put the best stuff together, so you know, 553 00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:30,520 Speaker 1: it's our weekly tip of the on air light to 554 00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:34,800 Speaker 1: the loyal minions who support the show by posting a 555 00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:38,200 Speaker 1: nice review. And so I went to the fifth hour 556 00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:44,360 Speaker 1: Apple podcast page, the thing that management actually checks and 557 00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:54,240 Speaker 1: bupkiss nothing zero we shuck again.

Did 592 00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:00,920 Speaker 1: you see how much money she made on cameo? No? 593 00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:04,120 Speaker 1: Oh my god. A buddy of my, one of my buddies, 594 00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:06,360 Speaker 1: you you sworking the newspaper business. He simon a story 595 00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:09,440 Speaker 1: because he knows I'm on cameo and he wanted to 596 00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:12,240 Speaker 1: do you wanted to make me feel like a schmuck. 597 00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:15,040 Speaker 1: And I'm trying to find it. Uh. Let's see here, 598 00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:21,600 Speaker 1: page Dan, page Dan. Sarah Palin made over two hundred 599 00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:26,759 Speaker 1: thousand dollars last year on cameo two eleven thousand, five 600 00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:34,480 Speaker 1: dollars from personalized videos. Now, keep in mind you get 601 00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:40,320 Speaker 1: a percentage of that, but cameo also gets a big chunk. 602 00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:42,600 Speaker 1: How much do you think she charges for her cameo? 603 00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:46,840 Speaker 1: So you're saying maybe four hundred thousand was made and 604 00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:50,799 Speaker 1: she got half of it. Uh, it's it depends on 605 00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:52,920 Speaker 1: how you buy the cameo. If you buy it on 606 00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:56,040 Speaker 1: an Apple, Apple takes a cut. Cameo takes a cut, 607 00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:59,719 Speaker 1: and it's a it's a mess. Uh, let's try to 608 00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:02,319 Speaker 1: get here. What do you think the number is, Danny, 609 00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:04,880 Speaker 1: what's the average? Right now? Do you know what the 610 00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:10,560 Speaker 1: average charges for a cameo? I do not. It ranges 611 00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:13,279 Speaker 1: all over the place. There's people under fifty bucks, there's 612 00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:18,000 Speaker 1: people that are charging a lot of money. So let's 613 00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:22,200 Speaker 1: say a hundred or two d is kind of maybe 614 00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:26,560 Speaker 1: a hundred I would say something like that, So I 615 00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:29,160 Speaker 1: don't know. Maybe she charges three hundred bucks a pop. 616 00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:35,400 Speaker 1: All right, So I'm looking here on Sarah Palin's cameo page, 617 00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:39,239 Speaker 1: the former governor of Alaska, and it says here New 618 00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:44,200 Speaker 1: York Times best selling author. Anyway, it's just for personal 619 00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:50,040 Speaker 1: cameo one hundred and ars, so she's less than you thought. 620 00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:56,200 Speaker 1: But for business she charges a thousand plus dollars for 621 00:35:56,719 --> 00:35:59,919 Speaker 1: a cameo for a business. So at a hundred, let's 622 00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:03,160 Speaker 1: the math. They said there would be no math any again, 623 00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:05,520 Speaker 1: but hundred and ninety nine, so let's say we'll just 624 00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:09,440 Speaker 1: do two hundred and so that that makes it easy, 625 00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:14,200 Speaker 1: So two hundred and then you do the math on that, 626 00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:18,880 Speaker 1: well for four for for two hundred dollars times four hundred, 627 00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:21,439 Speaker 1: what is that? Eighty thousands something like that? And my run, 628 00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:28,480 Speaker 1: But she she cleared two hundred thousand, sharing the money 629 00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:32,600 Speaker 1: as well, So yeah, how many of these is she doing? 630 00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:39,640 Speaker 1: Holy connoli, that is an insane, insane amount of money. 631 00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:42,440 Speaker 1: But it's also an insane amount assuming that came from 632 00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:45,840 Speaker 1: mostly personal cameos and not businesses. I was just gonna say, 633 00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:49,200 Speaker 1: maybe there were quite a few businesses that enrolled her 634 00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:51,919 Speaker 1: and the money started stacking up like that, But then 635 00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:56,200 Speaker 1: you ask yourself what business this is? Like I want 636 00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:59,120 Speaker 1: her to open up the seminar. Yeah yeah, I need 637 00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:01,960 Speaker 1: and I needed in person, just a video, that's all 638 00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:06,200 Speaker 1: I need. A video. Well, I am on cameo and 639 00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:09,040 Speaker 1: I'm not charging two hundred bucks or a thousand bucks. 640 00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:15,160 Speaker 1: It's my price has been pretty consistent at So the 641 00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:17,480 Speaker 1: advice you gave we'd band back in the day, you 642 00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:21,439 Speaker 1: take that own advice yourself. That is correct. See, I'm 643 00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:25,160 Speaker 1: a man of the people wrong, and we did a 644 00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:27,520 Speaker 1: lot of those. At the beginning of COVID, we had 645 00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:30,200 Speaker 1: a fair amount of those things. Bob Miller, the former 646 00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:33,799 Speaker 1: King's announcers on on Cameo. I saw him on there. 647 00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:36,759 Speaker 1: He's charging ninety bucks. I'm less than half of that. 648 00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:40,320 Speaker 1: Anybody on the Clippers is a half of what Kobe 649 00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:45,000 Speaker 1: Bryant is.
