Speaker 2: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants

4

Speaker 2: of the Old Republic, a soul fashion of fairness. He

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

Speaker 2: rich pill poppers in the penthouse. Wow to a clearinghouse

00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 3: cloud nine, even though it's November two now and we're

13
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 3: past Halloween, we're past the World Series, but no, we're

14
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 3: not past the World seriesday. And I know you were

15
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 3: not on yesterday, so you didn't have a chance to

16
00:00:54,480 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 3: regale the listener with the joys of victory, the wonderful

17
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 3: experience of the Dodgers winning the World Series.

18
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 1: The other day, Danny, we text a little bit.

19
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 3: I was actually driving while you were texting me, so

20
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 3: I couldn't really get fully immersed into the text chain.

21
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 1: But what a wonderful week it was.

22
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 4: I don't know about you, but I almost emptied my

23
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,320
Speaker 4: entire box of illegal fireworks.

24
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 5: I know you saw a free show, right.

25
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,960
Speaker 1: Oh, it was just saying. I talked about it yesterday.

26
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 3: It reminded me of the COVID Fourth of July, Like

27
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:42,759
Speaker 3: it is wild that everyone has that amount of projectiles

28
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:47,319
Speaker 3: explosives ready to go at any moment. It's rather scary

29
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 3: when you think about it. I mean everywhere I look.

30
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 3: I was driving. I took off right after the game

31
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 3: ended because I had to get into the studio, and

32
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 3: I knew it was gonna be crazy with the the

33
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 3: hoodlums running around La celebrated, not even celebrated. These are

34
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 3: not even Dodger fans, most of them. I think they

35
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 3: were just trying to cause trouble. But I knew there

36
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 3: was gonna be a lot problem. So I got in

37
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 3: the cars. I I got to get out of here,

38
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 3: got to get to the studio. So I took off

39
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:12,799
Speaker 3: and panoramic to paint the picture for like our blind guys,

40
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 3: everywhere from right to left was it was like the

41
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:18,360
Speaker 3: Fourth of July.

42
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:20,359
Speaker 1: It was it was bananas.

43
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 3: So you've been traveling so you were unable to attend

44
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:25,519
Speaker 3: the parade, right, I did not go to the parade

45
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 3: because I had to sleep.

46
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 1: You know, that's my thing there.

47
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 3: I don't do parades because they're during the day and

48
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 3: I work at night. Now, if they ever had a

49
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 3: parade about three four in the morning, I think I'd

50
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 3: be good.

51
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 1: But they don't do those.

52
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 3: They always do them during the day for those daytime

53
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 3: people could skip work whenever they want.

54
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 4: I'm still in Seattle right now. We were here for

55
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 4: the Graduate Hotels live broadcast yesterday, the day before today's

56
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 4: big Washington USC game.

57
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:55,919
Speaker 5: Is it a big game? Really?

58
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:56,799
Speaker 1: Well?

59
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 3: No, now you allowed. I don't know if you're going

60
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 3: to the game. I saw this week that the USC

61
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 3: football program has banned the media from practice because obviously

62
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,079
Speaker 3: the reason they blow this year is because of the media.

63
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 1: That's why you.

64
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 3: Got to have a fall guy, And I see, my god,

65
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 3: what they thought they had there forever coach. Now, Seattle.

66
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 3: I love Seattle by you've been there before, right, I

67
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 3: assume you've been there.

68
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, it's been about a decade or so for

69
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 4: me though.

70
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, Seattle's beautiful visually, the skyline. It reminds me of

71
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 3: a Northeastern city a little bit because of you know,

72
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 3: it's right on the water, and you had all this

73
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 3: downtown's right there, beautifully visually, just stunning Seattle with the

74
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 3: Mountain Range in the background. Yes, but there are a

75
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 3: lot of wackadoodles that are downtown Seattle, and we.

76
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 4: Had some normal There were some normal people too that

77
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 4: showed up for the remote yesterday afternoon. So I would

78
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 4: say half wacka doodles and half normal nice people.

79
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, but I think it's the same thing.

80
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 3: Like I got offered a RADO job in Portland, Oregon,

81
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 3: which I know is not Seattle. I realized it's not Seattle,

82
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 3: and I remember talking to the program director at the

83
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 3: radio station in Portland. He was explaining to me these

84
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 3: listen says, you know, you probably heard about Portland, he said,

85
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 3: they know it's true, this downtown part of Portland. There's

86
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 3: a lot of people here that are you know, on

87
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,719
Speaker 3: the fringes, you know, on the spectrum. But outside it's

88
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,279
Speaker 3: normal people. These are normal, I mean outside the city.

89
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,600
Speaker 3: These are you know, these are just regular people trying

90
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 3: to make it through life and all that, and they're

91
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 3: they're not on the edges. But I think it's similar

92
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 3: in Seattle. And I've had a great time We had

93
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 3: a great meet and greet.

94
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 1: I mean it was awesome. Jay Scoop put that together.

95
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 3: I got to meet Robbie the Mariner, Finn and some

96
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 3: of the other guys in the Pacific Northwest who came

97
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 3: in for that back in twenty nineteen, just before the

98
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 3: pandemic at the end of twenty nineteen.

99
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:50,280
Speaker 1: I loved it.

100
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 3: We watched we had the Malorman march through the streets

101
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 3: of Seattle down to the Seahawks stadium there and that

102
00:04:58,080 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 3: was that was the next level.

103
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 1: We were harassing.

104
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 3: Well, we had the bullhorn and Ed from Spokane and

105
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,359
Speaker 3: Christina from Spokane, who don't call it show anymore. They

106
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,039
Speaker 3: worked during the day, but they had the megaphone and

107
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 3: they were promoting my show and marching and the homeless

108
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 3: people were trying to sleep during the day and they

109
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 3: were yelling back knock at all. It was really it's

110
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 3: like a nineteen eighties comedy. It was really funny. But no,

111
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 3: I love You're very lucky you go on these little

112
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:30,159
Speaker 3: road trips Seattle's see, it was pretty pretty cool, man.

113
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 1: Some good good restaurants and whatnot there.

114
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 4: And yeah, and some good college football fans here who

115
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 4: showed up yesterday. Obviously, the Huskies have a long tradition,

116
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:44,799
Speaker 4: and so it was fun to hang out with college

117
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 4: fans yesterday and today after the podcast. So that's what

118
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 4: you and I are going to be doing, sitting on

119
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 4: our butts and watching some college football.

120
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, we don't have to worry about Game seven of

121
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 3: the World Series, which if things had gone the other

122
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 3: way back this week, we might have had to worry

123
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 3: about that. But we don't just focus in on on

124
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 3: college football.

125
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 1: It's yeah.

126
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,159
Speaker 3: So and when you think Big ten, you think Seattle

127
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 3: and La Big ten.

128
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 1: That's big Hey.

129
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,599
Speaker 4: To bring it full circle to Ben, I'm so happy

130
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 4: there was not a Game six last night because I

131
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,719
Speaker 4: would have had to watch that with Covino, who's a

132
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 4: diehard Yankees fan, and the listeners who I just met.

133
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 4: Can you imagine that instead of being with my family

134
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 4: and celebrating with friends in LA, I would have had

135
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 4: to be in Seattle with my show and strangers, well

136
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:39,279
Speaker 4: almost strangers, with that game on as I bit my fingernails.

137
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, that would not have been an ideal situation.

138
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 3: But this has gotta be the greatest playoff run, at

139
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 3: least to get back to people you work with, because

140
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 3: you had Mets fan and you had a Yankee fan,

141
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 3: and you slayd both of them in the playoffs.

142
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: So that's that's perfect.

143
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're nice fans for being East Coast guys. The

144
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 4: guy really want to like like.

145
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 5: Get the.

146
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, give it to give the East Coast

147
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 4: business back to him. One Jason Smith, who works out

148
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 4: of our network. Well Jackson, yeah, oh, Ben, that dude

149
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 4: is the most annoying New York Mets fan on the planet.

150
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 4: When the Mets forced that series back to La I

151
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 4: unfortunately bumped into him as he was dancing and spinning,

152
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 4: playing that stupid New York Groove song really loud on

153
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 4: his cell phone above his head, and he was doing

154
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 4: like this nineteen eighties danced in the hallway, and he

155
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 4: was telling all the Dodgers fans here that work here

156
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 4: to suck it, and he was he was floating, Ben,

157
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 4: he was floating. He swore up and down the Mets

158
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 4: were coming back to beat the Dodgers.

159
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, well they were coming back to lose to the

160
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 3: dub Ja. I've known Jason for I've known him since

161
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 3: the early days of Beast before Fox Sports Radio, and

162
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 3: he has not seen any of his teams have success,

163
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 3: not one of them ever since I've known him for

164
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 3: over twenty years.

165
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 1: The Mets haven't won.

166
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 3: The Jets did get to the AFC Title Game a

167
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 3: couple of times, but that you know, they didn't get to.

168
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 1: The Super Bowl.

169
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 3: And the Knicks they got to the finals but they

170
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 3: didn't win. So those are his three favorite teams never won.

171
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 3: But you're right, he is so over the top, so dramatic.

172
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 1: Jason.

173
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 3: Your your typical New York sports fan right out of

174
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 3: Central Casting for a Met and a Jets fan. He

175
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 3: is absolutely right there. So on this this is our

176
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 3: Saturday plot. A couple of things I wanted to get

177
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:39,680
Speaker 3: to now. We just had Halloween on Thursday. I think

178
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 3: we all know that probably a lot of candy. I

179
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 3: don't know if you like me, Nanny, but what we

180
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 3: did is we went to the Costco and my wife said, well,

181
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:51,319
Speaker 3: I like chalcolate.

182
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 1: She likes more of the gummy candies.

183
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 3: So she's like, well, let's get a bag of the

184
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,440
Speaker 3: chocolate and a bag of the gummies, and then we

185
00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 3: end up getting like fifteen your treats. So we end

186
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 3: up having about twelve pounds of candy left over at

187
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 3: the end.

188
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 1: Of the Halloween experience.

189
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 3: We bought way too much candy and inevitably either you

190
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 3: take that to work or you eat it and then

191
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 3: you gain about thirty pounds. So that's that's usually hother wors.

192
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 3: But this past weekend we had the Malor. Now this

193
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 3: was not the official Malar Halloween party because it was

194
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 3: not at the Malor mansion. But there was a Halloween

195
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 3: party my wife co hosted with some of her co workers,

196
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 3: and so I spent last weekend. And this actually is

197
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 3: a during game Game two of the of the World series.

198
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 1: I watched it at.

00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 3: A Halloween party, and I had the full Kirkland brand

200
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 3: outfit on as I went as Costco guy, not the

00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 3: Costco the annoying Costco guys on the internet. I I

202
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 3: dressed as an actual Costco employee. I had the robe,

203
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 3: I had the hat, I had the I had the samples.

204
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 3: I had a little tray with samples. And but it

205
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,199
Speaker 3: was it was awfu we Lorraina actually showed up, which

206
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 3: is great to see her.

207
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:14,079
Speaker 1: She was there hanging out with us.

208
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 3: Uh, and you know it was. It wasn't a great

209
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 3: turnout because of the Dodgers. A lot of people stayed

210
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 3: home to watch the Dodger game, and and then they

211
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 3: didn't end up coming out. We had some people show

212
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 3: up late after the game. But we had a great time.

213
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 3: We had They had a bartender and all kinds of food.

214
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 3: There was a taco bar there. It was pretty pretty nice.

215
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 3: Uh Halloween party and a lot of mass consumption and alcohol.

216
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 1: I did play some uh some beer pong, played.

217
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 3: A little bit of that, so uh yeah, a little

218
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:47,439
Speaker 3: bit of that, a little bit of this, and had

219
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 3: had a grand time.

220
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 1: And you know, it's fine. Halloween.

221
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 3: Wife used to dress up for Halloween, you know, so

222
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 3: why not? What the hell knock it out?

223
00:10:56,600 --> 00:11:00,439
Speaker 4: I know that Dodger game prevented a full full oft times.

224
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:04,080
Speaker 4: This is the first time. The other night was the

225
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 4: first time ever that our teenage daughter was interested at

226
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 4: all in baseball. She's not a sports person, and that's fine.

227
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 4: Everybody else in the house is not. Every single person

228
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:19,439
Speaker 4: in your family needs to be a psycho about sports. Yeah,

229
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 4: I wish she liked sports more. Seeing Sephora kids all

230
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 4: over TikTok, I wish she loved sports as much as

231
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:28,840
Speaker 4: she loved Sephora, but that's not in the cards.

232
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 1: Now, did she get into sports, because she did she

233
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 1: have like a two team parlay or something like that.

234
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:36,199
Speaker 5: You're not far.

235
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 4: She had a lot on the line because her progress

236
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 4: report came out from middle school and she had two,

237
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 4: not one, but two d's.

238
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:47,320
Speaker 1: Uh oh.

239
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 4: We threatened her before the school year started because she

240
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 4: is in eighth grade.

241
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:51,960
Speaker 5: Now.

242
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 4: You can't screw around anymore. There's no more room left

243
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 4: for you to wiggle. You're about to be in high school.

244
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,960
Speaker 4: If you continue to suck at your classes, you're in

245
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 4: for a world of hurt in life. And as much

246
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:07,680
Speaker 4: as we've tried to explain all this to her, it

247
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:09,960
Speaker 4: goes in one air and out the other because she

248
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 4: has the attention span of a flea, which is one

249
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:17,680
Speaker 4: of her problems in class. And not surprisingly, ben the

250
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,440
Speaker 4: classes she's having the most trouble in are the ones

251
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:24,680
Speaker 4: where she has friends in the same class. We've gotten

252
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 4: these emails from a couple of her teachers. She is

253
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 4: super distracted blabbing with her friends.

254
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:34,319
Speaker 1: Well, she's a social butterfly that can work in life too. Right,

255
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:36,200
Speaker 1: If you can make it through school, you can.

256
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,559
Speaker 3: You know, people that are very social go very far

257
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:41,720
Speaker 3: in life, right, Because it's who you know, not what

258
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:42,679
Speaker 3: you know that kind of thing.

259
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, some of those people are also homeless.

260
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 1: Well that is true, they're also crackhead. But that's fine.

261
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, it could go either way. Now, her mom told her, look,

262
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:55,320
Speaker 4: you're on restriction. When you get home from school, I'm

263
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 4: taking your phone. You're not watching TV. Maybe I'll give

264
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 4: you fifteen minutes to a half hour after your homework's done.

265
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,079
Speaker 4: After I review your homework, you better show me something

266
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:07,320
Speaker 4: in the next couple of weeks.

267
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 5: Because Halloween was on the way.

268
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 4: She's been talking about going out with her girlfriends from

269
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 4: school to trick or treat. She's been talking about this

270
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 4: for about a month. And when those bad grades came

271
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 4: in or the bad progress report came in, my wife,

272
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 4: he said, I don't think you're going anywhere. She's been

273
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 4: pouting around the house. She's been doing a better job

274
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:33,320
Speaker 4: with her homework. But she's been pouty, and she brought

275
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 4: home a couple of good grades on tests the past

276
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,680
Speaker 4: couple of weeks. So her mom said, tell you what,

277
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:41,440
Speaker 4: I'll make a deal with you. If the Dodgers win

278
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 4: on Wednesday night, you can go trick or treating the

279
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:49,199
Speaker 4: next night on Thursday. Woo for the first time ever been.

280
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:51,199
Speaker 4: She was in the living room with all of us

281
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 4: glued to every pitch of that World Series game.

282
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 3: No, when they were down five to nothing, did she

283
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 3: understand that the odds were against the Dodgers winning at

284
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 3: that point? Did she ree the math was not in

285
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 3: her favor? When the Yankees were up five to nothing

286
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 3: and it appeared they were gonna win the game fifteen

287
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 3: to nothing at that moment, did you tell your daughter?

288
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 3: Did you say, hey, listen, you're screwed. You're not going

289
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 3: You're not going out for Halloween. The Dodgers have no chance,

290
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 3: and they're dead. They're dead in the waters. It's terrible.

291
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 3: Flairty got lit up the hole because they were in

292
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 3: the toilet. They were a clogged toilet. The Dodgers at

293
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 3: that point in the middle and right before the top

294
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 3: of the fifth, they were getting smoked.

295
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 4: That's the beauty of being a sports ring. Oh man,

296
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 4: that's a third ram, a man being special. I'll say

297
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 4: it this way, being special when it comes to sports.

298
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 4: Her response was, what they can score five?

299
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 5: Easy?

300
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, just you hit a touchdown, you'll be up by one,

301
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 3: maybe two with the extra point.

302
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 1: Maybe you'll go for two and then you'll you'll let

303
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 1: up by three.

304
00:14:56,840 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 4: But yeah, tie the game. After the yank, he's melt down.

305
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 4: We get our shit together finally, and then with those

306
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 4: couple of sacrifice runs, we go up in the game,

307
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 4: trying in comes through and then of course who do

308
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 4: we see Walker Buehler step out.

309
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 5: It was a beautiful ending.

310
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 4: Obviously, we're celebrating in the living room, me, my Wifie,

311
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 4: our oldest.

312
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 5: We're jumping around.

313
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 4: She's on the couch and she's just smiling, saying, yes,

314
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 4: I'm going, Yes, I get to go. So everybody was

315
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 4: a winner. But I feel like that's gonna be a

316
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 4: core memory somedays. She'll probably tell her kids, oh, yeah,

317
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 4: the Dodgers won the World Series back in twenty twenty four,

318
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 4: and that night I had everything riding on the line,

319
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 4: going out with my friends, trick or treating or not.

320
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, and only that she'll likely when she's an adult,

321
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 3: end up like betting her kids something involving a Dodger

322
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 3: game or some sporting event. You know'll that'll become a thing.

323
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 3: You know, it's because you planted the seed.

324
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 1: But that's great.

325
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 2: Now.

326
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 3: Would she have a special costume or she just go

327
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 3: out running a mark trying to cause trouble.

328
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is where this is where they get into

329
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 4: the weeds. Her and her friends, Oh yeah, she normally

330
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 4: I've known her for four years now, and she normally

331
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 4: goes as something scary. Mom, do my makeup? I want

332
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 4: to be a scary witch. Now, her and her friends,

333
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 4: they're all about dressing cute. She said, mom, we're all

334
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 4: going to dress cute this year. Oh, and her mom

335
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 4: looked at her and said, you mean slutty. These girls

336
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 4: are fourteen and fifteen years old and they already want

337
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 4: to dress like Halloween's.

338
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 1: Oh boy, watch out, Danny, watch it.

339
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 4: I know her mom made her put another layer of

340
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 4: clothes on on Thursday night.

341
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 5: She was like, no, you need to go put some

342
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 5: more clothes on.

343
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 1: Now.

344
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 3: Did you follow I'm assuming she went out with her

345
00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 3: friends and you weren't with her, or your wife wasn't

346
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 3: with her, so she'd have taken that off, you know,

347
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 3: and she got out.

348
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 5: She may have.

349
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 4: There was one chaperone, one of the other girl's mom's

350
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 4: was chaperoning the group.

351
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:13,639
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, well buckle up, buccaloo, you're in for

352
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:14,880
Speaker 3: a wild rune man.

353
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:18,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, no kidding, Yes, yes, Dodgers. Yes, now I could

354
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 5: go dress like a.

355
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 1: Little I love it. I love it.

356
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:28,880
Speaker 4: Well, this is starting earlier and earlier with girls. Man,

357
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:32,120
Speaker 4: we used to laugh at club nights because obviously all

358
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,679
Speaker 4: the jokes you've heard this for years now that the

359
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 4: girls it's just an excuse for them to wear no

360
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 4: clothes basically.

361
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, we've talked about that in past Halloween shows that

362
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:44,160
Speaker 3: we've done, you know, Halloween week shows, and it's true.

363
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 3: It's like when we were kids, and maybe it was

364
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,199
Speaker 3: like that. I just don't remember it like that. I

365
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:52,720
Speaker 3: feel like that happened when we became like teenagers or

366
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:53,159
Speaker 3: something like that.

367
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:55,640
Speaker 1: Maybe a little even older than that, like Halloween.

368
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, I want to say, like maybe mid late nineties

369
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 4: it started where to over as a whole phenomenon.

370
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:04,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I mean at one point it was just

371
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:07,959
Speaker 3: like a wholesome type weird thing, and then maybe it

372
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:08,719
Speaker 3: was never wholesome.

373
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:08,919
Speaker 2: You know.

374
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:12,160
Speaker 1: It's weird what you remember and what actually happened, you know. Yeah,

375
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:14,720
Speaker 1: the eyes of a child who knows.

376
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:17,159
Speaker 3: I did want to mention this being the Saturday podcast,

377
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:21,399
Speaker 3: the Talk of the Town, this was unreal Danny the

378
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:25,200
Speaker 3: other night, just doing the regular show, you know, yapp

379
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:27,920
Speaker 3: and away, And occasionally I'll look up at my board

380
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 3: see who's on on hold? Who wants to come on

381
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 3: the air there? And I see a name on my board.

382
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 3: I said, wow, I remember that name. That's a name

383
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:37,680
Speaker 3: from the past. I was like, well that I haven't

384
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,159
Speaker 3: heard for that person a long time. That must be

385
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 3: like a fake phony funk. So I told Coop, I say,

386
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:46,360
Speaker 3: is that is that the real real person? He said, yeah,

387
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 3: that's the real guy. That's no joke. So I put

388
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:51,480
Speaker 3: him on the air, and for the first time in

389
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:56,399
Speaker 3: almost four years, the caller from New York known as

390
00:18:56,520 --> 00:19:00,440
Speaker 3: real Talk hauled into the show. Now Real Talk point

391
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 3: was at the very top of the payroll on the

392
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 3: characters on the show. He was a primary character on

393
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 3: the show. And then we had a falling out right

394
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 3: after my father unfortunately passed away, and Real Talk called

395
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 3: up and I banned him from.

396
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:20,359
Speaker 1: The show for six months. I said, you can't you know,

397
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:20,919
Speaker 1: I can't call the.

398
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:24,359
Speaker 3: Show for six months. So he has not called the

399
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:28,880
Speaker 3: show in. That was in January of twenty twenty one.

400
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 3: Here we are in announced November he called in. I

401
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:35,320
Speaker 3: think it was October thirtieth or twenty ninth or something

402
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 3: like that. But it was a few days ago, so

403
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:40,679
Speaker 3: that is why. And he claimed he made up some

404
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 3: fugazy story, but it's why. And this is one of

405
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:46,239
Speaker 3: those things about the job dat And you know, you've

406
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 3: been in radio your whole life too, when you do

407
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 3: talk radio and people call up and they're kind of

408
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 3: part of the show, and they're a character on the show,

409
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 3: and they're part of what you.

410
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 1: Do, and then they vanish. You don't know.

411
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 3: You don't know whether they're dead. You don't know what happened.

412
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:04,879
Speaker 3: You have maybe they got arrested, maybe they're in jail.

413
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:10,920
Speaker 3: You have no idea, and oftentimes you never get any closure.

414
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,160
Speaker 1: They just they just disappear. That's it.

415
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:18,160
Speaker 3: So it's very odd when they when they returned, and

416
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:21,359
Speaker 3: so it was, it was right away. I knew it

417
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:23,159
Speaker 3: was real talk right away, I said, I can I

418
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:24,159
Speaker 3: recognize that voice.

419
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:28,120
Speaker 1: That's that's real talk. Now.

420
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:31,199
Speaker 4: Sometimes when people just reappear back into your life, you

421
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 4: just pick up where you left off, like best friends,

422
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 4: and no time ever elapsed.

423
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:43,120
Speaker 5: Of the way we were.

424
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:49,440
Speaker 1: Learning. Gentlemen, you can't see that scattered picture.

425
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 5: Of the smiles we.

426
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:54,679
Speaker 1: Left be.

427
00:20:57,960 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I mean there is that I mean, but

428
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:04,360
Speaker 3: this was there must be something in the cosmos, because

429
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 3: not only did we hear from Real Talk, which was wild,

430
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 3: here's a guy and I think you know this guy

431
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:18,159
Speaker 3: called in on the regular call in line from Toronto.

432
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:19,400
Speaker 1: Do you know anybody in Toronto?

433
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:22,639
Speaker 5: Uh, nothing coming to mind.

434
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 3: Do you remember a guy that worked at Fox Sports

435
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 3: Radio named Canadian Mike? You remember that name?

436
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 4: Oh, of course I know. I didn't know he moved

437
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 4: back to Toronto, though.

438
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 1: I didn't know either. I didn't talk to him in

439
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 1: I hadn't seen him in ten years.

440
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 5: Probably the guy was a lunatic.

441
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 4: I loved him though we both Yeah, we both worked

442
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 4: with him in radio, and I think I told you

443
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:47,480
Speaker 4: the story before I worked with him at I worked

444
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 4: with him at NBC Sports Radio and he didn't show

445
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 4: up for a shift one time and the host was

446
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:57,440
Speaker 4: so pissed and he stumbled in like the last ten

447
00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 4: minutes of the show and was like very sullen and

448
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 4: like mean to all of us. Instead of kissing the

449
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 4: ass saying I'm sorry, Oh my god, he walked in

450
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:08,440
Speaker 4: and he was mean to us, like we did something wrong.

451
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 1: Wow. Yeah, I like him. I haven't seen him a

452
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 1: lot of times.

453
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 3: I knew him when he was an intern at Fox

454
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 3: Sports Radio and then he got hired there.

455
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:26,160
Speaker 1: And I liked his energy. But I don't know what happened.

456
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 3: I guess he had said he got carjacked or something

457
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 3: in LA and he moved back to Canada like four

458
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 3: years ago, and anyway, he just like randomly called up

459
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 3: because wow, the Dodgers won the World Series.

460
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:42,160
Speaker 1: He's like, Hey, it's Canadian Mike.

461
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 3: And I'm like, so this is in two days I

462
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 3: heard from Real Talk, who I hadn't talked to in

463
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:52,920
Speaker 3: four years, and Canadian Mike at least four years since

464
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 3: I had any contact with him, ten years since I've

465
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 3: seen him.

466
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:57,919
Speaker 1: And it's like, it's.

467
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 3: Very odd that though maybe the it's just nothing, it's

468
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 3: just random, you know, the random world of life. But

469
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 3: it's just a strange quinky dink that this happened on

470
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 3: back to back days in the past weeks, like people

471
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 3: from your your life in the past coming back to

472
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:16,919
Speaker 3: re enter your life.

473
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 1: So I thought that was that was pretty pretty cool.

474
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 1: We have the Idiom of the week. Are you ready

475
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:25,480
Speaker 1: for the Idiom of the week?

476
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 5: The Idiom of the week.

477
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 3: So I've been very happy. We've been getting a lot

478
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 3: of requests. We had one yesterday for the phrase of

479
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 3: the week.

480
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 1: This is the idiom of the week, Scott. This guy

481
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:41,440
Speaker 1: every week sends me something. This guy Scott. Not blind Scott.

482
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:42,160
Speaker 1: It's different Scott.

483
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 3: We got to come up with a nickname for this

484
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 3: guy Scott because it's not blind Scott's different kind of Scott.

485
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 3: So this guy Scott, he writes in he says, in

486
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:52,920
Speaker 3: honor of the US National Third Rail Day this upcoming week,

487
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 3: what about kick the can down the road? It's a

488
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 3: Washington tradition. I want to know the origin of the

489
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 3: phrase kick the can down the road, so I use

490
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:08,200
Speaker 3: this phrase. I didn't know where it came from. It's

491
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:10,880
Speaker 3: just something a colloquial term that I've used a long time.

492
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 3: So Scott, I did some legwork. I dug around the

493
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:17,200
Speaker 3: dark web to try to find out where the phrase

494
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 3: kicked the can down the road came from. And here's

495
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:22,280
Speaker 3: what I've uncovered. This is the idiom of the week,

496
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 3: kicked the can down the road. So the phrase kicked

497
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,119
Speaker 3: the can down the road originates, believe it or not,

498
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 3: from the Great Depression.

499
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 1: Say what, Yeah, the Great Depression was back what one.

500
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 3: Hundred years over one hundred years, and it was a

501
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 3: game children played during the Great Depression in America. And

502
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:48,359
Speaker 3: the game children improvised, they made their own rules. I

503
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:51,159
Speaker 3: was kind of like hide and seek, and if someone

504
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:55,360
Speaker 3: managed to elude being caught and kicked the can, everyone

505
00:24:55,400 --> 00:25:00,399
Speaker 3: who had been caught was free to go. So it

506
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:02,680
Speaker 3: was an old can because it was the Great Depression.

507
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:05,880
Speaker 3: You didn't have much and one player would be it

508
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:10,399
Speaker 3: and the other players, as I understand it, would hide, right,

509
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 3: so the other players hide and it's the job that

510
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:16,119
Speaker 3: the job was to guard the can while trying to

511
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:19,240
Speaker 3: find the others. Anyone who found was found would be

512
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:24,280
Speaker 3: escorted to a holding area. And anyway, this goes back

513
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 3: to the Great Depression. The game had its heyday then,

514
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:32,360
Speaker 3: but in the early nineteen sixties it was pretty much

515
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:37,199
Speaker 3: gone in America. But then in the mid eighties, so

516
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 3: this is like the Ronald Reagan era in American politics.

517
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:44,960
Speaker 3: It started being used by members on Capitol Hill in

518
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 3: Congress to kick the can down the road, and that

519
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:51,919
Speaker 3: has become ever since in the last forty plus years.

520
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:57,320
Speaker 3: Rhetoric that lawmakers use to say that you're putting an

521
00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:01,200
Speaker 3: issue off down the line, it's kicked the can down

522
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 3: the road. So again, for those of you in the

523
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:06,640
Speaker 3: back of the room and for Scott who sent this in,

524
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:10,119
Speaker 3: kick the can down the road is a phrase that

525
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:15,440
Speaker 3: originates from the Great Depression and literally a game where

526
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 3: match how.

527
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:17,640
Speaker 1: Boring it must have been to be a kid during

528
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:18,400
Speaker 1: the Great Depression.

529
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 3: You're kicking a can down the road, literally, and that

530
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 3: is the idiom of the week, the idiom of the.

531
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:29,920
Speaker 5: Week that was actually interesting.

532
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:32,439
Speaker 1: Are you saying they're normally not interesting? Is that what

533
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 1: you're saying, Danny.

534
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 5: I didn't say that, you just implied that.

535
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:37,240
Speaker 1: Anyway.

536
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:39,880
Speaker 3: No, all right, we'll get out on that. You're in Seattle.

537
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 3: You just gonna say, are you relocating to Seattle? You're

538
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 3: planning back to LA. What's the plane?

539
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 4: We're gonna jump back on an airplane in just a

540
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 4: few hours from now.

541
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:51,160
Speaker 3: All right, so we'll be back in LA which means
