<v Speaker 2>If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes

0:00:05.440 --> 0:00:09.240
<v Speaker 2>a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants

0:00:09.240 --> 0:00:12.520
<v Speaker 2>of the Old Republic, a soul fashion of fairness. He

0:00:12.600 --> 0:00:15.520
<v Speaker 2>treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the

0:00:15.640 --> 0:00:19.480
<v Speaker 2>rich pill poppers in the penthouse. Wow to a clearinghouse

0:00:19.520 --> 0:00:23.240
<v Speaker 2>of hot takes, break free for something special. The Fifth

0:00:23.239 --> 0:00:29.400
<v Speaker 2>Hour with Ben Maller starts right now.

0:00:29.000 --> 0:00:34.880
<v Speaker 3>In the air everywhere, and you have stumbled onto the

0:00:35.080 --> 0:00:38.520
<v Speaker 3>Saturday edition of The Fifth Hour with Me, Ben Mallor

0:00:38.880 --> 0:00:42.360
<v Speaker 3>and my guy Danny g who is still floating on

0:00:42.440 --> 0:00:46.960
<v Speaker 3>cloud nine, even though it's November two now and we're

0:00:47.000 --> 0:00:49.640
<v Speaker 3>past Halloween, we're past the World Series, but no, we're

0:00:49.680 --> 0:00:51.800
<v Speaker 3>not past the World seriesday. And I know you were

0:00:51.800 --> 0:00:54.240
<v Speaker 3>not on yesterday, so you didn't have a chance to

0:00:54.480 --> 0:01:01.400
<v Speaker 3>regale the listener with the joys of victory, the wonderful

0:01:01.480 --> 0:01:03.200
<v Speaker 3>experience of the Dodgers winning the World Series.

0:01:03.240 --> 0:01:05.720
<v Speaker 1>The other day, Danny, we text a little bit.

0:01:05.760 --> 0:01:08.280
<v Speaker 3>I was actually driving while you were texting me, so

0:01:08.319 --> 0:01:11.520
<v Speaker 3>I couldn't really get fully immersed into the text chain.

0:01:12.040 --> 0:01:13.840
<v Speaker 1>But what a wonderful week it was.

0:01:14.680 --> 0:01:17.800
<v Speaker 4>I don't know about you, but I almost emptied my

0:01:18.080 --> 0:01:20.320
<v Speaker 4>entire box of illegal fireworks.

0:01:26.280 --> 0:01:28.160
<v Speaker 5>I know you saw a free show, right.

0:01:28.560 --> 0:01:31.960
<v Speaker 1>Oh, it was just saying. I talked about it yesterday.

0:01:32.560 --> 0:01:36.480
<v Speaker 3>It reminded me of the COVID Fourth of July, Like

0:01:37.400 --> 0:01:42.759
<v Speaker 3>it is wild that everyone has that amount of projectiles

0:01:42.959 --> 0:01:47.319
<v Speaker 3>explosives ready to go at any moment. It's rather scary

0:01:47.680 --> 0:01:49.880
<v Speaker 3>when you think about it. I mean everywhere I look.

0:01:49.920 --> 0:01:51.960
<v Speaker 3>I was driving. I took off right after the game

0:01:52.040 --> 0:01:53.440
<v Speaker 3>ended because I had to get into the studio, and

0:01:53.440 --> 0:01:55.720
<v Speaker 3>I knew it was gonna be crazy with the the

0:01:55.760 --> 0:01:59.120
<v Speaker 3>hoodlums running around La celebrated, not even celebrated. These are

0:01:59.160 --> 0:02:00.760
<v Speaker 3>not even Dodger fans, most of them. I think they

0:02:00.800 --> 0:02:02.520
<v Speaker 3>were just trying to cause trouble. But I knew there

0:02:02.600 --> 0:02:03.920
<v Speaker 3>was gonna be a lot problem. So I got in

0:02:03.920 --> 0:02:05.280
<v Speaker 3>the cars. I I got to get out of here,

0:02:05.560 --> 0:02:07.920
<v Speaker 3>got to get to the studio. So I took off

0:02:08.240 --> 0:02:12.799
<v Speaker 3>and panoramic to paint the picture for like our blind guys,

0:02:13.440 --> 0:02:17.640
<v Speaker 3>everywhere from right to left was it was like the

0:02:17.680 --> 0:02:18.360
<v Speaker 3>Fourth of July.

0:02:18.800 --> 0:02:20.359
<v Speaker 1>It was it was bananas.

0:02:20.400 --> 0:02:23.680
<v Speaker 3>So you've been traveling so you were unable to attend

0:02:23.720 --> 0:02:25.519
<v Speaker 3>the parade, right, I did not go to the parade

0:02:25.639 --> 0:02:26.720
<v Speaker 3>because I had to sleep.

0:02:27.639 --> 0:02:29.200
<v Speaker 1>You know, that's my thing there.

0:02:29.680 --> 0:02:31.720
<v Speaker 3>I don't do parades because they're during the day and

0:02:31.760 --> 0:02:34.320
<v Speaker 3>I work at night. Now, if they ever had a

0:02:34.320 --> 0:02:36.720
<v Speaker 3>parade about three four in the morning, I think I'd

0:02:36.760 --> 0:02:37.120
<v Speaker 3>be good.

0:02:37.160 --> 0:02:38.000
<v Speaker 1>But they don't do those.

0:02:38.040 --> 0:02:40.600
<v Speaker 3>They always do them during the day for those daytime

0:02:40.720 --> 0:02:44.200
<v Speaker 3>people could skip work whenever they want.

0:02:44.440 --> 0:02:47.200
<v Speaker 4>I'm still in Seattle right now. We were here for

0:02:47.480 --> 0:02:52.600
<v Speaker 4>the Graduate Hotels live broadcast yesterday, the day before today's

0:02:52.600 --> 0:02:54.480
<v Speaker 4>big Washington USC game.

0:02:54.880 --> 0:02:55.919
<v Speaker 5>Is it a big game? Really?

0:02:56.600 --> 0:02:56.799
<v Speaker 1>Well?

0:02:56.880 --> 0:02:59.120
<v Speaker 3>No, now you allowed. I don't know if you're going

0:02:59.160 --> 0:03:02.200
<v Speaker 3>to the game. I saw this week that the USC

0:03:02.240 --> 0:03:05.960
<v Speaker 3>football program has banned the media from practice because obviously

0:03:06.000 --> 0:03:08.079
<v Speaker 3>the reason they blow this year is because of the media.

0:03:08.200 --> 0:03:09.960
<v Speaker 1>That's why you.

0:03:10.000 --> 0:03:13.400
<v Speaker 3>Got to have a fall guy, And I see, my god,

0:03:13.840 --> 0:03:19.000
<v Speaker 3>what they thought they had there forever coach. Now, Seattle.

0:03:19.120 --> 0:03:21.720
<v Speaker 3>I love Seattle by you've been there before, right, I

0:03:21.720 --> 0:03:22.360
<v Speaker 3>assume you've been there.

0:03:22.560 --> 0:03:25.120
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah, it's been about a decade or so for

0:03:25.240 --> 0:03:25.760
<v Speaker 4>me though.

0:03:26.280 --> 0:03:30.720
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Seattle's beautiful visually, the skyline. It reminds me of

0:03:30.760 --> 0:03:35.320
<v Speaker 3>a Northeastern city a little bit because of you know,

0:03:35.360 --> 0:03:37.000
<v Speaker 3>it's right on the water, and you had all this

0:03:37.400 --> 0:03:41.800
<v Speaker 3>downtown's right there, beautifully visually, just stunning Seattle with the

0:03:41.840 --> 0:03:44.640
<v Speaker 3>Mountain Range in the background. Yes, but there are a

0:03:44.720 --> 0:03:50.840
<v Speaker 3>lot of wackadoodles that are downtown Seattle, and we.

0:03:50.800 --> 0:03:53.240
<v Speaker 4>Had some normal There were some normal people too that

0:03:53.320 --> 0:03:56.920
<v Speaker 4>showed up for the remote yesterday afternoon. So I would

0:03:56.920 --> 0:03:59.640
<v Speaker 4>say half wacka doodles and half normal nice people.

0:03:59.760 --> 0:04:01.520
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, but I think it's the same thing.

0:04:01.560 --> 0:04:04.320
<v Speaker 3>Like I got offered a RADO job in Portland, Oregon,

0:04:04.360 --> 0:04:07.200
<v Speaker 3>which I know is not Seattle. I realized it's not Seattle,

0:04:07.400 --> 0:04:09.400
<v Speaker 3>and I remember talking to the program director at the

0:04:09.480 --> 0:04:11.520
<v Speaker 3>radio station in Portland. He was explaining to me these

0:04:11.560 --> 0:04:14.640
<v Speaker 3>listen says, you know, you probably heard about Portland, he said,

0:04:14.680 --> 0:04:18.719
<v Speaker 3>they know it's true, this downtown part of Portland. There's

0:04:18.800 --> 0:04:21.080
<v Speaker 3>a lot of people here that are you know, on

0:04:21.120 --> 0:04:23.719
<v Speaker 3>the fringes, you know, on the spectrum. But outside it's

0:04:23.760 --> 0:04:26.279
<v Speaker 3>normal people. These are normal, I mean outside the city.

0:04:26.400 --> 0:04:28.600
<v Speaker 3>These are you know, these are just regular people trying

0:04:28.600 --> 0:04:31.000
<v Speaker 3>to make it through life and all that, and they're

0:04:31.480 --> 0:04:34.000
<v Speaker 3>they're not on the edges. But I think it's similar

0:04:34.040 --> 0:04:35.680
<v Speaker 3>in Seattle. And I've had a great time We had

0:04:35.680 --> 0:04:36.440
<v Speaker 3>a great meet and greet.

0:04:36.480 --> 0:04:39.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean it was awesome. Jay Scoop put that together.

0:04:39.680 --> 0:04:41.960
<v Speaker 3>I got to meet Robbie the Mariner, Finn and some

0:04:42.080 --> 0:04:44.880
<v Speaker 3>of the other guys in the Pacific Northwest who came

0:04:44.920 --> 0:04:47.680
<v Speaker 3>in for that back in twenty nineteen, just before the

0:04:47.680 --> 0:04:49.680
<v Speaker 3>pandemic at the end of twenty nineteen.

0:04:49.720 --> 0:04:50.280
<v Speaker 1>I loved it.

0:04:50.320 --> 0:04:53.760
<v Speaker 3>We watched we had the Malorman march through the streets

0:04:53.760 --> 0:04:57.960
<v Speaker 3>of Seattle down to the Seahawks stadium there and that

0:04:58.080 --> 0:04:59.640
<v Speaker 3>was that was the next level.

0:04:59.680 --> 0:05:00.839
<v Speaker 1>We were harassing.

0:05:01.080 --> 0:05:05.520
<v Speaker 3>Well, we had the bullhorn and Ed from Spokane and

0:05:05.640 --> 0:05:08.359
<v Speaker 3>Christina from Spokane, who don't call it show anymore. They

0:05:08.400 --> 0:05:11.039
<v Speaker 3>worked during the day, but they had the megaphone and

0:05:11.080 --> 0:05:15.560
<v Speaker 3>they were promoting my show and marching and the homeless

0:05:15.560 --> 0:05:17.800
<v Speaker 3>people were trying to sleep during the day and they

0:05:17.800 --> 0:05:21.320
<v Speaker 3>were yelling back knock at all. It was really it's

0:05:21.320 --> 0:05:25.000
<v Speaker 3>like a nineteen eighties comedy. It was really funny. But no,

0:05:25.120 --> 0:05:27.240
<v Speaker 3>I love You're very lucky you go on these little

0:05:27.279 --> 0:05:30.159
<v Speaker 3>road trips Seattle's see, it was pretty pretty cool, man.

0:05:30.320 --> 0:05:32.320
<v Speaker 1>Some good good restaurants and whatnot there.

0:05:32.120 --> 0:05:37.200
<v Speaker 4>And yeah, and some good college football fans here who

0:05:37.240 --> 0:05:42.400
<v Speaker 4>showed up yesterday. Obviously, the Huskies have a long tradition,

0:05:42.600 --> 0:05:44.799
<v Speaker 4>and so it was fun to hang out with college

0:05:44.880 --> 0:05:48.320
<v Speaker 4>fans yesterday and today after the podcast. So that's what

0:05:48.360 --> 0:05:50.120
<v Speaker 4>you and I are going to be doing, sitting on

0:05:50.120 --> 0:05:52.000
<v Speaker 4>our butts and watching some college football.

0:05:52.400 --> 0:05:54.800
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, we don't have to worry about Game seven of

0:05:55.000 --> 0:05:57.960
<v Speaker 3>the World Series, which if things had gone the other

0:05:58.000 --> 0:06:01.320
<v Speaker 3>way back this week, we might have had to worry

0:06:01.360 --> 0:06:03.800
<v Speaker 3>about that. But we don't just focus in on on

0:06:04.040 --> 0:06:05.120
<v Speaker 3>college football.

0:06:05.520 --> 0:06:06.400
<v Speaker 1>It's yeah.

0:06:06.440 --> 0:06:09.159
<v Speaker 3>So and when you think Big ten, you think Seattle

0:06:09.240 --> 0:06:10.760
<v Speaker 3>and La Big ten.

0:06:11.320 --> 0:06:12.320
<v Speaker 1>That's big Hey.

0:06:12.320 --> 0:06:15.599
<v Speaker 4>To bring it full circle to Ben, I'm so happy

0:06:15.640 --> 0:06:18.880
<v Speaker 4>there was not a Game six last night because I

0:06:18.880 --> 0:06:21.719
<v Speaker 4>would have had to watch that with Covino, who's a

0:06:21.720 --> 0:06:25.320
<v Speaker 4>diehard Yankees fan, and the listeners who I just met.

0:06:25.560 --> 0:06:28.240
<v Speaker 4>Can you imagine that instead of being with my family

0:06:28.800 --> 0:06:31.320
<v Speaker 4>and celebrating with friends in LA, I would have had

0:06:31.360 --> 0:06:34.920
<v Speaker 4>to be in Seattle with my show and strangers, well

0:06:34.960 --> 0:06:39.279
<v Speaker 4>almost strangers, with that game on as I bit my fingernails.

0:06:39.600 --> 0:06:42.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that would not have been an ideal situation.

0:06:42.360 --> 0:06:45.200
<v Speaker 3>But this has gotta be the greatest playoff run, at

0:06:45.279 --> 0:06:47.120
<v Speaker 3>least to get back to people you work with, because

0:06:47.120 --> 0:06:49.360
<v Speaker 3>you had Mets fan and you had a Yankee fan,

0:06:49.920 --> 0:06:52.680
<v Speaker 3>and you slayd both of them in the playoffs.

0:06:52.720 --> 0:06:54.000
<v Speaker 1>So that's that's perfect.

0:06:54.240 --> 0:06:57.080
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, they're nice fans for being East Coast guys. The

0:06:57.160 --> 0:06:59.680
<v Speaker 4>guy really want to like like.

0:06:59.760 --> 0:07:00.320
<v Speaker 5>Get the.

0:07:02.680 --> 0:07:04.920
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, yeah, yeah, give it to give the East Coast

0:07:04.920 --> 0:07:08.400
<v Speaker 4>business back to him. One Jason Smith, who works out

0:07:08.440 --> 0:07:12.640
<v Speaker 4>of our network. Well Jackson, yeah, oh, Ben, that dude

0:07:12.840 --> 0:07:16.520
<v Speaker 4>is the most annoying New York Mets fan on the planet.

0:07:16.920 --> 0:07:20.720
<v Speaker 4>When the Mets forced that series back to La I

0:07:20.840 --> 0:07:24.160
<v Speaker 4>unfortunately bumped into him as he was dancing and spinning,

0:07:24.520 --> 0:07:27.240
<v Speaker 4>playing that stupid New York Groove song really loud on

0:07:27.320 --> 0:07:29.840
<v Speaker 4>his cell phone above his head, and he was doing

0:07:29.880 --> 0:07:32.960
<v Speaker 4>like this nineteen eighties danced in the hallway, and he

0:07:33.120 --> 0:07:35.400
<v Speaker 4>was telling all the Dodgers fans here that work here

0:07:35.440 --> 0:07:38.360
<v Speaker 4>to suck it, and he was he was floating, Ben,

0:07:38.440 --> 0:07:41.360
<v Speaker 4>he was floating. He swore up and down the Mets

0:07:41.360 --> 0:07:43.640
<v Speaker 4>were coming back to beat the Dodgers.

0:07:43.960 --> 0:07:47.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, well they were coming back to lose to the

0:07:47.520 --> 0:07:50.720
<v Speaker 3>dub Ja. I've known Jason for I've known him since

0:07:50.800 --> 0:07:54.000
<v Speaker 3>the early days of Beast before Fox Sports Radio, and

0:07:54.920 --> 0:07:57.680
<v Speaker 3>he has not seen any of his teams have success,

0:07:58.120 --> 0:08:01.560
<v Speaker 3>not one of them ever since I've known him for

0:08:01.600 --> 0:08:02.400
<v Speaker 3>over twenty years.

0:08:02.520 --> 0:08:03.480
<v Speaker 1>The Mets haven't won.

0:08:04.040 --> 0:08:06.640
<v Speaker 3>The Jets did get to the AFC Title Game a

0:08:06.640 --> 0:08:08.720
<v Speaker 3>couple of times, but that you know, they didn't get to.

0:08:08.720 --> 0:08:09.320
<v Speaker 1>The Super Bowl.

0:08:09.800 --> 0:08:12.760
<v Speaker 3>And the Knicks they got to the finals but they

0:08:12.760 --> 0:08:16.360
<v Speaker 3>didn't win. So those are his three favorite teams never won.

0:08:16.840 --> 0:08:20.720
<v Speaker 3>But you're right, he is so over the top, so dramatic.

0:08:21.240 --> 0:08:21.640
<v Speaker 1>Jason.

0:08:21.680 --> 0:08:26.240
<v Speaker 3>Your your typical New York sports fan right out of

0:08:26.240 --> 0:08:29.120
<v Speaker 3>Central Casting for a Met and a Jets fan. He

0:08:29.280 --> 0:08:33.800
<v Speaker 3>is absolutely right there. So on this this is our

0:08:33.840 --> 0:08:35.640
<v Speaker 3>Saturday plot. A couple of things I wanted to get

0:08:35.679 --> 0:08:39.680
<v Speaker 3>to now. We just had Halloween on Thursday. I think

0:08:39.720 --> 0:08:42.160
<v Speaker 3>we all know that probably a lot of candy. I

0:08:42.200 --> 0:08:45.120
<v Speaker 3>don't know if you like me, Nanny, but what we

0:08:45.160 --> 0:08:49.600
<v Speaker 3>did is we went to the Costco and my wife said, well,

0:08:50.200 --> 0:08:51.319
<v Speaker 3>I like chalcolate.

0:08:51.360 --> 0:08:53.040
<v Speaker 1>She likes more of the gummy candies.

0:08:53.200 --> 0:08:54.760
<v Speaker 3>So she's like, well, let's get a bag of the

0:08:54.840 --> 0:08:57.440
<v Speaker 3>chocolate and a bag of the gummies, and then we

0:08:57.559 --> 0:09:01.960
<v Speaker 3>end up getting like fifteen your treats. So we end

0:09:02.080 --> 0:09:06.920
<v Speaker 3>up having about twelve pounds of candy left over at

0:09:06.920 --> 0:09:07.280
<v Speaker 3>the end.

0:09:07.320 --> 0:09:08.800
<v Speaker 1>Of the Halloween experience.

0:09:08.920 --> 0:09:12.920
<v Speaker 3>We bought way too much candy and inevitably either you

0:09:12.960 --> 0:09:15.480
<v Speaker 3>take that to work or you eat it and then

0:09:15.520 --> 0:09:19.120
<v Speaker 3>you gain about thirty pounds. So that's that's usually hother wors.

0:09:19.320 --> 0:09:24.000
<v Speaker 3>But this past weekend we had the Malor. Now this

0:09:24.160 --> 0:09:27.760
<v Speaker 3>was not the official Malar Halloween party because it was

0:09:27.800 --> 0:09:30.320
<v Speaker 3>not at the Malor mansion. But there was a Halloween

0:09:30.320 --> 0:09:34.840
<v Speaker 3>party my wife co hosted with some of her co workers,

0:09:35.559 --> 0:09:38.960
<v Speaker 3>and so I spent last weekend. And this actually is

0:09:39.000 --> 0:09:43.760
<v Speaker 3>a during game Game two of the of the World series.

0:09:43.840 --> 0:09:47.440
<v Speaker 1>I watched it at.

0:09:47.240 --> 0:09:52.320
<v Speaker 3>A Halloween party, and I had the full Kirkland brand

0:09:52.400 --> 0:09:56.080
<v Speaker 3>outfit on as I went as Costco guy, not the

0:09:56.120 --> 0:09:58.520
<v Speaker 3>Costco the annoying Costco guys on the internet. I I

0:09:58.640 --> 0:10:02.120
<v Speaker 3>dressed as an actual Costco employee. I had the robe,

0:10:02.160 --> 0:10:05.120
<v Speaker 3>I had the hat, I had the I had the samples.

0:10:05.160 --> 0:10:08.760
<v Speaker 3>I had a little tray with samples. And but it

0:10:08.800 --> 0:10:11.199
<v Speaker 3>was it was awfu we Lorraina actually showed up, which

0:10:11.280 --> 0:10:12.240
<v Speaker 3>is great to see her.

0:10:12.800 --> 0:10:14.079
<v Speaker 1>She was there hanging out with us.

0:10:14.559 --> 0:10:17.720
<v Speaker 3>Uh, and you know it was. It wasn't a great

0:10:17.760 --> 0:10:21.000
<v Speaker 3>turnout because of the Dodgers. A lot of people stayed

0:10:21.000 --> 0:10:23.920
<v Speaker 3>home to watch the Dodger game, and and then they

0:10:23.960 --> 0:10:25.880
<v Speaker 3>didn't end up coming out. We had some people show

0:10:25.920 --> 0:10:28.480
<v Speaker 3>up late after the game. But we had a great time.

0:10:28.520 --> 0:10:31.720
<v Speaker 3>We had They had a bartender and all kinds of food.

0:10:31.800 --> 0:10:34.400
<v Speaker 3>There was a taco bar there. It was pretty pretty nice.

0:10:35.040 --> 0:10:39.360
<v Speaker 3>Uh Halloween party and a lot of mass consumption and alcohol.

0:10:39.600 --> 0:10:43.520
<v Speaker 1>I did play some uh some beer pong, played.

0:10:43.240 --> 0:10:45.480
<v Speaker 3>A little bit of that, so uh yeah, a little

0:10:45.480 --> 0:10:47.439
<v Speaker 3>bit of that, a little bit of this, and had

0:10:47.600 --> 0:10:48.480
<v Speaker 3>had a grand time.

0:10:48.600 --> 0:10:51.200
<v Speaker 1>And you know, it's fine. Halloween.

0:10:51.520 --> 0:10:53.640
<v Speaker 3>Wife used to dress up for Halloween, you know, so

0:10:53.760 --> 0:10:55.800
<v Speaker 3>why not? What the hell knock it out?

0:10:56.600 --> 0:11:00.439
<v Speaker 4>I know that Dodger game prevented a full full oft times.

0:11:01.679 --> 0:11:04.080
<v Speaker 4>This is the first time. The other night was the

0:11:04.120 --> 0:11:07.760
<v Speaker 4>first time ever that our teenage daughter was interested at

0:11:07.760 --> 0:11:12.520
<v Speaker 4>all in baseball. She's not a sports person, and that's fine.

0:11:12.520 --> 0:11:16.040
<v Speaker 4>Everybody else in the house is not. Every single person

0:11:16.120 --> 0:11:19.439
<v Speaker 4>in your family needs to be a psycho about sports. Yeah,

0:11:19.520 --> 0:11:23.240
<v Speaker 4>I wish she liked sports more. Seeing Sephora kids all

0:11:23.240 --> 0:11:26.720
<v Speaker 4>over TikTok, I wish she loved sports as much as

0:11:26.760 --> 0:11:28.840
<v Speaker 4>she loved Sephora, but that's not in the cards.

0:11:28.920 --> 0:11:31.240
<v Speaker 1>Now, did she get into sports, because she did she

0:11:31.280 --> 0:11:33.400
<v Speaker 1>have like a two team parlay or something like that.

0:11:35.520 --> 0:11:36.199
<v Speaker 5>You're not far.

0:11:36.920 --> 0:11:39.920
<v Speaker 4>She had a lot on the line because her progress

0:11:39.920 --> 0:11:43.880
<v Speaker 4>report came out from middle school and she had two,

0:11:44.160 --> 0:11:46.280
<v Speaker 4>not one, but two d's.

0:11:46.559 --> 0:11:47.320
<v Speaker 1>Uh oh.

0:11:47.840 --> 0:11:50.400
<v Speaker 4>We threatened her before the school year started because she

0:11:50.800 --> 0:11:51.600
<v Speaker 4>is in eighth grade.

0:11:51.720 --> 0:11:51.960
<v Speaker 5>Now.

0:11:52.480 --> 0:11:55.640
<v Speaker 4>You can't screw around anymore. There's no more room left

0:11:55.640 --> 0:11:58.760
<v Speaker 4>for you to wiggle. You're about to be in high school.

0:11:59.200 --> 0:12:02.960
<v Speaker 4>If you continue to suck at your classes, you're in

0:12:03.040 --> 0:12:05.880
<v Speaker 4>for a world of hurt in life. And as much

0:12:05.880 --> 0:12:07.680
<v Speaker 4>as we've tried to explain all this to her, it

0:12:07.679 --> 0:12:09.960
<v Speaker 4>goes in one air and out the other because she

0:12:10.040 --> 0:12:13.800
<v Speaker 4>has the attention span of a flea, which is one

0:12:13.840 --> 0:12:17.680
<v Speaker 4>of her problems in class. And not surprisingly, ben the

0:12:17.720 --> 0:12:20.440
<v Speaker 4>classes she's having the most trouble in are the ones

0:12:20.440 --> 0:12:24.680
<v Speaker 4>where she has friends in the same class. We've gotten

0:12:24.720 --> 0:12:27.320
<v Speaker 4>these emails from a couple of her teachers. She is

0:12:27.400 --> 0:12:30.160
<v Speaker 4>super distracted blabbing with her friends.

0:12:30.600 --> 0:12:34.319
<v Speaker 1>Well, she's a social butterfly that can work in life too. Right,

0:12:34.400 --> 0:12:36.200
<v Speaker 1>If you can make it through school, you can.

0:12:36.480 --> 0:12:39.559
<v Speaker 3>You know, people that are very social go very far

0:12:39.600 --> 0:12:41.720
<v Speaker 3>in life, right, Because it's who you know, not what

0:12:41.840 --> 0:12:42.679
<v Speaker 3>you know that kind of thing.

0:12:42.960 --> 0:12:45.120
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, some of those people are also homeless.

0:12:45.200 --> 0:12:47.800
<v Speaker 1>Well that is true, they're also crackhead. But that's fine.

0:12:48.000 --> 0:12:51.760
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it could go either way. Now, her mom told her, look,

0:12:52.760 --> 0:12:55.320
<v Speaker 4>you're on restriction. When you get home from school, I'm

0:12:55.400 --> 0:12:59.280
<v Speaker 4>taking your phone. You're not watching TV. Maybe I'll give

0:12:59.280 --> 0:13:03.240
<v Speaker 4>you fifteen minutes to a half hour after your homework's done.

0:13:03.320 --> 0:13:06.079
<v Speaker 4>After I review your homework, you better show me something

0:13:06.120 --> 0:13:07.320
<v Speaker 4>in the next couple of weeks.

0:13:07.920 --> 0:13:09.640
<v Speaker 5>Because Halloween was on the way.

0:13:10.160 --> 0:13:13.600
<v Speaker 4>She's been talking about going out with her girlfriends from

0:13:13.679 --> 0:13:17.000
<v Speaker 4>school to trick or treat. She's been talking about this

0:13:17.080 --> 0:13:20.400
<v Speaker 4>for about a month. And when those bad grades came

0:13:20.440 --> 0:13:23.840
<v Speaker 4>in or the bad progress report came in, my wife,

0:13:23.880 --> 0:13:27.160
<v Speaker 4>he said, I don't think you're going anywhere. She's been

0:13:27.200 --> 0:13:29.720
<v Speaker 4>pouting around the house. She's been doing a better job

0:13:29.760 --> 0:13:33.320
<v Speaker 4>with her homework. But she's been pouty, and she brought

0:13:33.360 --> 0:13:35.800
<v Speaker 4>home a couple of good grades on tests the past

0:13:35.800 --> 0:13:38.680
<v Speaker 4>couple of weeks. So her mom said, tell you what,

0:13:38.720 --> 0:13:41.440
<v Speaker 4>I'll make a deal with you. If the Dodgers win

0:13:42.160 --> 0:13:45.040
<v Speaker 4>on Wednesday night, you can go trick or treating the

0:13:45.040 --> 0:13:49.199
<v Speaker 4>next night on Thursday. Woo for the first time ever been.

0:13:49.559 --> 0:13:51.199
<v Speaker 4>She was in the living room with all of us

0:13:51.240 --> 0:13:53.920
<v Speaker 4>glued to every pitch of that World Series game.

0:13:54.720 --> 0:13:56.360
<v Speaker 3>No, when they were down five to nothing, did she

0:13:56.480 --> 0:13:59.160
<v Speaker 3>understand that the odds were against the Dodgers winning at

0:13:59.160 --> 0:14:02.480
<v Speaker 3>that point? Did she ree the math was not in

0:14:02.559 --> 0:14:05.160
<v Speaker 3>her favor? When the Yankees were up five to nothing

0:14:05.640 --> 0:14:08.080
<v Speaker 3>and it appeared they were gonna win the game fifteen

0:14:08.080 --> 0:14:10.800
<v Speaker 3>to nothing at that moment, did you tell your daughter?

0:14:10.880 --> 0:14:14.480
<v Speaker 3>Did you say, hey, listen, you're screwed. You're not going

0:14:15.160 --> 0:14:17.600
<v Speaker 3>You're not going out for Halloween. The Dodgers have no chance,

0:14:17.640 --> 0:14:20.840
<v Speaker 3>and they're dead. They're dead in the waters. It's terrible.

0:14:21.080 --> 0:14:24.760
<v Speaker 3>Flairty got lit up the hole because they were in

0:14:24.800 --> 0:14:28.320
<v Speaker 3>the toilet. They were a clogged toilet. The Dodgers at

0:14:28.360 --> 0:14:31.240
<v Speaker 3>that point in the middle and right before the top

0:14:31.280 --> 0:14:32.960
<v Speaker 3>of the fifth, they were getting smoked.

0:14:33.440 --> 0:14:37.600
<v Speaker 4>That's the beauty of being a sports ring. Oh man,

0:14:37.680 --> 0:14:41.360
<v Speaker 4>that's a third ram, a man being special. I'll say

0:14:41.360 --> 0:14:43.680
<v Speaker 4>it this way, being special when it comes to sports.

0:14:44.280 --> 0:14:47.200
<v Speaker 4>Her response was, what they can score five?

0:14:47.280 --> 0:14:48.280
<v Speaker 5>Easy?

0:14:48.640 --> 0:14:51.160
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, just you hit a touchdown, you'll be up by one,

0:14:51.440 --> 0:14:52.760
<v Speaker 3>maybe two with the extra point.

0:14:53.160 --> 0:14:55.680
<v Speaker 1>Maybe you'll go for two and then you'll you'll let

0:14:55.760 --> 0:14:56.680
<v Speaker 1>up by three.

0:14:56.840 --> 0:15:00.880
<v Speaker 4>But yeah, tie the game. After the yank, he's melt down.

0:15:01.400 --> 0:15:04.160
<v Speaker 4>We get our shit together finally, and then with those

0:15:04.280 --> 0:15:08.040
<v Speaker 4>couple of sacrifice runs, we go up in the game,

0:15:08.160 --> 0:15:11.360
<v Speaker 4>trying in comes through and then of course who do

0:15:11.400 --> 0:15:13.520
<v Speaker 4>we see Walker Buehler step out.

0:15:13.720 --> 0:15:14.880
<v Speaker 5>It was a beautiful ending.

0:15:14.920 --> 0:15:19.920
<v Speaker 4>Obviously, we're celebrating in the living room, me, my Wifie,

0:15:20.200 --> 0:15:20.880
<v Speaker 4>our oldest.

0:15:21.080 --> 0:15:22.160
<v Speaker 5>We're jumping around.

0:15:22.600 --> 0:15:25.880
<v Speaker 4>She's on the couch and she's just smiling, saying, yes,

0:15:26.080 --> 0:15:31.160
<v Speaker 4>I'm going, Yes, I get to go. So everybody was

0:15:31.200 --> 0:15:33.200
<v Speaker 4>a winner. But I feel like that's gonna be a

0:15:33.200 --> 0:15:36.560
<v Speaker 4>core memory somedays. She'll probably tell her kids, oh, yeah,

0:15:36.600 --> 0:15:39.640
<v Speaker 4>the Dodgers won the World Series back in twenty twenty four,

0:15:40.200 --> 0:15:43.240
<v Speaker 4>and that night I had everything riding on the line,

0:15:43.680 --> 0:15:45.920
<v Speaker 4>going out with my friends, trick or treating or not.

0:15:46.560 --> 0:15:49.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and only that she'll likely when she's an adult,

0:15:49.520 --> 0:15:53.400
<v Speaker 3>end up like betting her kids something involving a Dodger

0:15:53.480 --> 0:15:56.600
<v Speaker 3>game or some sporting event. You know'll that'll become a thing.

0:15:56.720 --> 0:15:58.640
<v Speaker 3>You know, it's because you planted the seed.

0:15:59.760 --> 0:16:01.080
<v Speaker 1>But that's great.

0:16:01.120 --> 0:16:01.280
<v Speaker 2>Now.

0:16:01.920 --> 0:16:04.240
<v Speaker 3>Would she have a special costume or she just go

0:16:04.320 --> 0:16:06.240
<v Speaker 3>out running a mark trying to cause trouble.

0:16:06.760 --> 0:16:09.680
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, this is where this is where they get into

0:16:09.680 --> 0:16:13.120
<v Speaker 4>the weeds. Her and her friends, Oh yeah, she normally

0:16:13.920 --> 0:16:16.840
<v Speaker 4>I've known her for four years now, and she normally

0:16:16.920 --> 0:16:20.200
<v Speaker 4>goes as something scary. Mom, do my makeup? I want

0:16:20.200 --> 0:16:23.600
<v Speaker 4>to be a scary witch. Now, her and her friends,

0:16:23.600 --> 0:16:28.480
<v Speaker 4>they're all about dressing cute. She said, mom, we're all

0:16:28.480 --> 0:16:32.840
<v Speaker 4>going to dress cute this year. Oh, and her mom

0:16:32.920 --> 0:16:37.440
<v Speaker 4>looked at her and said, you mean slutty. These girls

0:16:37.480 --> 0:16:40.160
<v Speaker 4>are fourteen and fifteen years old and they already want

0:16:40.160 --> 0:16:42.040
<v Speaker 4>to dress like Halloween's.

0:16:42.840 --> 0:16:45.080
<v Speaker 1>Oh boy, watch out, Danny, watch it.

0:16:45.240 --> 0:16:47.760
<v Speaker 4>I know her mom made her put another layer of

0:16:47.800 --> 0:16:49.760
<v Speaker 4>clothes on on Thursday night.

0:16:49.880 --> 0:16:52.800
<v Speaker 5>She was like, no, you need to go put some

0:16:52.840 --> 0:16:53.440
<v Speaker 5>more clothes on.

0:16:54.360 --> 0:16:54.520
<v Speaker 1>Now.

0:16:54.960 --> 0:16:57.320
<v Speaker 3>Did you follow I'm assuming she went out with her

0:16:57.320 --> 0:16:59.320
<v Speaker 3>friends and you weren't with her, or your wife wasn't

0:16:59.320 --> 0:17:01.440
<v Speaker 3>with her, so she'd have taken that off, you know,

0:17:01.520 --> 0:17:02.560
<v Speaker 3>and she got out.

0:17:02.800 --> 0:17:03.720
<v Speaker 5>She may have.

0:17:03.760 --> 0:17:06.520
<v Speaker 4>There was one chaperone, one of the other girl's mom's

0:17:07.000 --> 0:17:08.800
<v Speaker 4>was chaperoning the group.

0:17:09.440 --> 0:17:13.639
<v Speaker 3>Okay, all right, well buckle up, buccaloo, you're in for

0:17:13.680 --> 0:17:14.880
<v Speaker 3>a wild rune man.

0:17:14.960 --> 0:17:18.680
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, no kidding, Yes, yes, Dodgers. Yes, now I could

0:17:18.680 --> 0:17:19.480
<v Speaker 5>go dress like a.

0:17:19.400 --> 0:17:26.040
<v Speaker 1>Little I love it. I love it.

0:17:26.080 --> 0:17:28.880
<v Speaker 4>Well, this is starting earlier and earlier with girls. Man,

0:17:28.960 --> 0:17:32.120
<v Speaker 4>we used to laugh at club nights because obviously all

0:17:32.160 --> 0:17:34.679
<v Speaker 4>the jokes you've heard this for years now that the

0:17:34.720 --> 0:17:37.040
<v Speaker 4>girls it's just an excuse for them to wear no

0:17:37.160 --> 0:17:38.040
<v Speaker 4>clothes basically.

0:17:38.920 --> 0:17:41.520
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, we've talked about that in past Halloween shows that

0:17:41.520 --> 0:17:44.160
<v Speaker 3>we've done, you know, Halloween week shows, and it's true.

0:17:44.160 --> 0:17:47.080
<v Speaker 3>It's like when we were kids, and maybe it was

0:17:47.160 --> 0:17:49.199
<v Speaker 3>like that. I just don't remember it like that. I

0:17:49.240 --> 0:17:52.720
<v Speaker 3>feel like that happened when we became like teenagers or

0:17:52.760 --> 0:17:53.159
<v Speaker 3>something like that.

0:17:53.160 --> 0:17:55.640
<v Speaker 1>Maybe a little even older than that, like Halloween.

0:17:55.680 --> 0:17:58.280
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I want to say, like maybe mid late nineties

0:17:58.320 --> 0:18:01.800
<v Speaker 4>it started where to over as a whole phenomenon.

0:18:02.320 --> 0:18:04.359
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, I mean at one point it was just

0:18:04.400 --> 0:18:07.959
<v Speaker 3>like a wholesome type weird thing, and then maybe it

0:18:08.000 --> 0:18:08.719
<v Speaker 3>was never wholesome.

0:18:08.760 --> 0:18:08.919
<v Speaker 2>You know.

0:18:09.000 --> 0:18:12.160
<v Speaker 1>It's weird what you remember and what actually happened, you know. Yeah,

0:18:12.520 --> 0:18:14.720
<v Speaker 1>the eyes of a child who knows.

0:18:14.800 --> 0:18:17.159
<v Speaker 3>I did want to mention this being the Saturday podcast,

0:18:17.440 --> 0:18:21.399
<v Speaker 3>the Talk of the Town, this was unreal Danny the

0:18:21.440 --> 0:18:25.200
<v Speaker 3>other night, just doing the regular show, you know, yapp

0:18:25.200 --> 0:18:27.920
<v Speaker 3>and away, And occasionally I'll look up at my board

0:18:27.960 --> 0:18:30.560
<v Speaker 3>see who's on on hold? Who wants to come on

0:18:30.600 --> 0:18:33.520
<v Speaker 3>the air there? And I see a name on my board.

0:18:33.560 --> 0:18:35.840
<v Speaker 3>I said, wow, I remember that name. That's a name

0:18:35.880 --> 0:18:37.680
<v Speaker 3>from the past. I was like, well that I haven't

0:18:37.720 --> 0:18:40.159
<v Speaker 3>heard for that person a long time. That must be

0:18:40.240 --> 0:18:43.760
<v Speaker 3>like a fake phony funk. So I told Coop, I say,

0:18:43.840 --> 0:18:46.360
<v Speaker 3>is that is that the real real person? He said, yeah,

0:18:46.400 --> 0:18:49.600
<v Speaker 3>that's the real guy. That's no joke. So I put

0:18:49.640 --> 0:18:51.480
<v Speaker 3>him on the air, and for the first time in

0:18:51.560 --> 0:18:56.399
<v Speaker 3>almost four years, the caller from New York known as

0:18:56.520 --> 0:19:00.440
<v Speaker 3>real Talk hauled into the show. Now Real Talk point

0:19:00.560 --> 0:19:03.040
<v Speaker 3>was at the very top of the payroll on the

0:19:03.160 --> 0:19:05.800
<v Speaker 3>characters on the show. He was a primary character on

0:19:05.840 --> 0:19:10.520
<v Speaker 3>the show. And then we had a falling out right

0:19:10.560 --> 0:19:15.560
<v Speaker 3>after my father unfortunately passed away, and Real Talk called

0:19:15.600 --> 0:19:16.800
<v Speaker 3>up and I banned him from.

0:19:16.720 --> 0:19:20.359
<v Speaker 1>The show for six months. I said, you can't you know,

0:19:20.359 --> 0:19:20.919
<v Speaker 1>I can't call the.

0:19:20.880 --> 0:19:24.359
<v Speaker 3>Show for six months. So he has not called the

0:19:24.400 --> 0:19:28.880
<v Speaker 3>show in. That was in January of twenty twenty one.

0:19:29.040 --> 0:19:32.600
<v Speaker 3>Here we are in announced November he called in. I

0:19:32.640 --> 0:19:35.320
<v Speaker 3>think it was October thirtieth or twenty ninth or something

0:19:35.320 --> 0:19:37.000
<v Speaker 3>like that. But it was a few days ago, so

0:19:38.280 --> 0:19:40.679
<v Speaker 3>that is why. And he claimed he made up some

0:19:40.760 --> 0:19:44.040
<v Speaker 3>fugazy story, but it's why. And this is one of

0:19:44.119 --> 0:19:46.239
<v Speaker 3>those things about the job dat And you know, you've

0:19:46.240 --> 0:19:48.600
<v Speaker 3>been in radio your whole life too, when you do

0:19:48.720 --> 0:19:51.760
<v Speaker 3>talk radio and people call up and they're kind of

0:19:51.800 --> 0:19:54.080
<v Speaker 3>part of the show, and they're a character on the show,

0:19:54.119 --> 0:19:55.080
<v Speaker 3>and they're part of what you.

0:19:55.080 --> 0:19:59.800
<v Speaker 1>Do, and then they vanish. You don't know.

0:20:00.200 --> 0:20:02.600
<v Speaker 3>You don't know whether they're dead. You don't know what happened.

0:20:02.640 --> 0:20:04.879
<v Speaker 3>You have maybe they got arrested, maybe they're in jail.

0:20:05.080 --> 0:20:10.920
<v Speaker 3>You have no idea, and oftentimes you never get any closure.

0:20:11.040 --> 0:20:13.160
<v Speaker 1>They just they just disappear. That's it.

0:20:14.040 --> 0:20:18.160
<v Speaker 3>So it's very odd when they when they returned, and

0:20:18.240 --> 0:20:21.359
<v Speaker 3>so it was, it was right away. I knew it

0:20:21.400 --> 0:20:23.159
<v Speaker 3>was real talk right away, I said, I can I

0:20:23.200 --> 0:20:24.159
<v Speaker 3>recognize that voice.

0:20:25.320 --> 0:20:28.120
<v Speaker 1>That's that's real talk. Now.

0:20:28.160 --> 0:20:31.199
<v Speaker 4>Sometimes when people just reappear back into your life, you

0:20:32.040 --> 0:20:34.080
<v Speaker 4>just pick up where you left off, like best friends,

0:20:34.080 --> 0:20:36.080
<v Speaker 4>and no time ever elapsed.

0:20:40.840 --> 0:20:43.120
<v Speaker 5>Of the way we were.

0:20:44.880 --> 0:20:49.440
<v Speaker 1>Learning. Gentlemen, you can't see that scattered picture.

0:20:52.240 --> 0:20:53.800
<v Speaker 5>Of the smiles we.

0:20:54.080 --> 0:20:54.679
<v Speaker 1>Left be.

0:20:57.960 --> 0:20:59.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, no, I mean there is that I mean, but

0:21:00.240 --> 0:21:04.360
<v Speaker 3>this was there must be something in the cosmos, because

0:21:04.440 --> 0:21:09.040
<v Speaker 3>not only did we hear from Real Talk, which was wild,

0:21:10.040 --> 0:21:12.080
<v Speaker 3>here's a guy and I think you know this guy

0:21:13.040 --> 0:21:18.159
<v Speaker 3>called in on the regular call in line from Toronto.

0:21:18.280 --> 0:21:19.400
<v Speaker 1>Do you know anybody in Toronto?

0:21:20.800 --> 0:21:22.639
<v Speaker 5>Uh, nothing coming to mind.

0:21:22.960 --> 0:21:24.800
<v Speaker 3>Do you remember a guy that worked at Fox Sports

0:21:24.880 --> 0:21:27.240
<v Speaker 3>Radio named Canadian Mike? You remember that name?

0:21:27.440 --> 0:21:29.720
<v Speaker 4>Oh, of course I know. I didn't know he moved

0:21:29.760 --> 0:21:31.800
<v Speaker 4>back to Toronto, though.

0:21:31.720 --> 0:21:33.720
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know either. I didn't talk to him in

0:21:35.240 --> 0:21:36.800
<v Speaker 1>I hadn't seen him in ten years.

0:21:36.880 --> 0:21:38.840
<v Speaker 5>Probably the guy was a lunatic.

0:21:39.359 --> 0:21:41.520
<v Speaker 4>I loved him though we both Yeah, we both worked

0:21:41.520 --> 0:21:43.840
<v Speaker 4>with him in radio, and I think I told you

0:21:43.880 --> 0:21:47.480
<v Speaker 4>the story before I worked with him at I worked

0:21:47.480 --> 0:21:50.600
<v Speaker 4>with him at NBC Sports Radio and he didn't show

0:21:50.680 --> 0:21:54.560
<v Speaker 4>up for a shift one time and the host was

0:21:54.600 --> 0:21:57.440
<v Speaker 4>so pissed and he stumbled in like the last ten

0:21:57.480 --> 0:22:01.000
<v Speaker 4>minutes of the show and was like very sullen and

0:22:01.080 --> 0:22:03.280
<v Speaker 4>like mean to all of us. Instead of kissing the

0:22:03.359 --> 0:22:05.560
<v Speaker 4>ass saying I'm sorry, Oh my god, he walked in

0:22:05.560 --> 0:22:08.440
<v Speaker 4>and he was mean to us, like we did something wrong.

0:22:08.880 --> 0:22:14.600
<v Speaker 1>Wow. Yeah, I like him. I haven't seen him a

0:22:14.640 --> 0:22:15.000
<v Speaker 1>lot of times.

0:22:15.280 --> 0:22:17.760
<v Speaker 3>I knew him when he was an intern at Fox

0:22:17.800 --> 0:22:20.520
<v Speaker 3>Sports Radio and then he got hired there.

0:22:20.280 --> 0:22:26.160
<v Speaker 1>And I liked his energy. But I don't know what happened.

0:22:26.400 --> 0:22:29.280
<v Speaker 3>I guess he had said he got carjacked or something

0:22:29.320 --> 0:22:33.520
<v Speaker 3>in LA and he moved back to Canada like four

0:22:33.600 --> 0:22:37.800
<v Speaker 3>years ago, and anyway, he just like randomly called up

0:22:38.359 --> 0:22:40.840
<v Speaker 3>because wow, the Dodgers won the World Series.

0:22:40.840 --> 0:22:42.160
<v Speaker 1>He's like, Hey, it's Canadian Mike.

0:22:43.080 --> 0:22:45.960
<v Speaker 3>And I'm like, so this is in two days I

0:22:46.040 --> 0:22:48.040
<v Speaker 3>heard from Real Talk, who I hadn't talked to in

0:22:48.160 --> 0:22:52.920
<v Speaker 3>four years, and Canadian Mike at least four years since

0:22:52.960 --> 0:22:55.040
<v Speaker 3>I had any contact with him, ten years since I've

0:22:55.080 --> 0:22:56.040
<v Speaker 3>seen him.

0:22:56.680 --> 0:22:57.919
<v Speaker 1>And it's like, it's.

0:22:58.080 --> 0:23:00.800
<v Speaker 3>Very odd that though maybe the it's just nothing, it's

0:23:00.840 --> 0:23:03.600
<v Speaker 3>just random, you know, the random world of life. But

0:23:04.400 --> 0:23:07.720
<v Speaker 3>it's just a strange quinky dink that this happened on

0:23:07.840 --> 0:23:11.080
<v Speaker 3>back to back days in the past weeks, like people

0:23:11.200 --> 0:23:13.800
<v Speaker 3>from your your life in the past coming back to

0:23:14.560 --> 0:23:16.919
<v Speaker 3>re enter your life.

0:23:16.960 --> 0:23:20.240
<v Speaker 1>So I thought that was that was pretty pretty cool.

0:23:20.840 --> 0:23:23.520
<v Speaker 1>We have the Idiom of the week. Are you ready

0:23:23.560 --> 0:23:25.480
<v Speaker 1>for the Idiom of the week?

0:23:26.560 --> 0:23:28.840
<v Speaker 5>The Idiom of the week.

0:23:29.720 --> 0:23:32.520
<v Speaker 3>So I've been very happy. We've been getting a lot

0:23:32.560 --> 0:23:36.280
<v Speaker 3>of requests. We had one yesterday for the phrase of

0:23:36.280 --> 0:23:36.600
<v Speaker 3>the week.

0:23:36.640 --> 0:23:38.840
<v Speaker 1>This is the idiom of the week, Scott. This guy

0:23:38.920 --> 0:23:41.440
<v Speaker 1>every week sends me something. This guy Scott. Not blind Scott.

0:23:41.440 --> 0:23:42.160
<v Speaker 1>It's different Scott.

0:23:42.400 --> 0:23:43.720
<v Speaker 3>We got to come up with a nickname for this

0:23:43.760 --> 0:23:46.080
<v Speaker 3>guy Scott because it's not blind Scott's different kind of Scott.

0:23:46.400 --> 0:23:49.000
<v Speaker 3>So this guy Scott, he writes in he says, in

0:23:49.080 --> 0:23:52.920
<v Speaker 3>honor of the US National Third Rail Day this upcoming week,

0:23:53.880 --> 0:23:56.720
<v Speaker 3>what about kick the can down the road? It's a

0:23:57.000 --> 0:23:59.000
<v Speaker 3>Washington tradition. I want to know the origin of the

0:23:59.359 --> 0:24:04.080
<v Speaker 3>phrase kick the can down the road, so I use

0:24:04.200 --> 0:24:08.200
<v Speaker 3>this phrase. I didn't know where it came from. It's

0:24:08.280 --> 0:24:10.880
<v Speaker 3>just something a colloquial term that I've used a long time.

0:24:10.960 --> 0:24:14.840
<v Speaker 3>So Scott, I did some legwork. I dug around the

0:24:14.960 --> 0:24:17.200
<v Speaker 3>dark web to try to find out where the phrase

0:24:17.359 --> 0:24:20.040
<v Speaker 3>kicked the can down the road came from. And here's

0:24:20.040 --> 0:24:22.280
<v Speaker 3>what I've uncovered. This is the idiom of the week,

0:24:23.359 --> 0:24:26.000
<v Speaker 3>kicked the can down the road. So the phrase kicked

0:24:26.000 --> 0:24:28.119
<v Speaker 3>the can down the road originates, believe it or not,

0:24:28.920 --> 0:24:30.520
<v Speaker 3>from the Great Depression.

0:24:31.680 --> 0:24:35.040
<v Speaker 1>Say what, Yeah, the Great Depression was back what one.

0:24:35.000 --> 0:24:39.560
<v Speaker 3>Hundred years over one hundred years, and it was a

0:24:39.600 --> 0:24:44.000
<v Speaker 3>game children played during the Great Depression in America. And

0:24:44.119 --> 0:24:48.359
<v Speaker 3>the game children improvised, they made their own rules. I

0:24:48.400 --> 0:24:51.159
<v Speaker 3>was kind of like hide and seek, and if someone

0:24:51.240 --> 0:24:55.360
<v Speaker 3>managed to elude being caught and kicked the can, everyone

0:24:55.400 --> 0:25:00.399
<v Speaker 3>who had been caught was free to go. So it

0:25:00.520 --> 0:25:02.680
<v Speaker 3>was an old can because it was the Great Depression.

0:25:02.720 --> 0:25:05.880
<v Speaker 3>You didn't have much and one player would be it

0:25:06.680 --> 0:25:10.399
<v Speaker 3>and the other players, as I understand it, would hide, right,

0:25:10.440 --> 0:25:13.320
<v Speaker 3>so the other players hide and it's the job that

0:25:13.359 --> 0:25:16.119
<v Speaker 3>the job was to guard the can while trying to

0:25:16.160 --> 0:25:19.240
<v Speaker 3>find the others. Anyone who found was found would be

0:25:19.400 --> 0:25:24.280
<v Speaker 3>escorted to a holding area. And anyway, this goes back

0:25:24.320 --> 0:25:28.520
<v Speaker 3>to the Great Depression. The game had its heyday then,

0:25:28.880 --> 0:25:32.360
<v Speaker 3>but in the early nineteen sixties it was pretty much

0:25:32.400 --> 0:25:37.199
<v Speaker 3>gone in America. But then in the mid eighties, so

0:25:37.240 --> 0:25:41.000
<v Speaker 3>this is like the Ronald Reagan era in American politics.

0:25:42.280 --> 0:25:44.960
<v Speaker 3>It started being used by members on Capitol Hill in

0:25:45.040 --> 0:25:49.000
<v Speaker 3>Congress to kick the can down the road, and that

0:25:49.040 --> 0:25:51.919
<v Speaker 3>has become ever since in the last forty plus years.

0:25:52.480 --> 0:25:57.320
<v Speaker 3>Rhetoric that lawmakers use to say that you're putting an

0:25:57.400 --> 0:26:01.200
<v Speaker 3>issue off down the line, it's kicked the can down

0:26:01.240 --> 0:26:03.480
<v Speaker 3>the road. So again, for those of you in the

0:26:03.480 --> 0:26:06.640
<v Speaker 3>back of the room and for Scott who sent this in,

0:26:07.080 --> 0:26:10.119
<v Speaker 3>kick the can down the road is a phrase that

0:26:10.200 --> 0:26:15.440
<v Speaker 3>originates from the Great Depression and literally a game where

0:26:15.840 --> 0:26:16.320
<v Speaker 3>match how.

0:26:16.240 --> 0:26:17.640
<v Speaker 1>Boring it must have been to be a kid during

0:26:17.640 --> 0:26:18.400
<v Speaker 1>the Great Depression.

0:26:18.600 --> 0:26:22.040
<v Speaker 3>You're kicking a can down the road, literally, and that

0:26:22.240 --> 0:26:27.760
<v Speaker 3>is the idiom of the week, the idiom of the.

0:26:27.760 --> 0:26:29.920
<v Speaker 5>Week that was actually interesting.

0:26:30.600 --> 0:26:32.439
<v Speaker 1>Are you saying they're normally not interesting? Is that what

0:26:32.440 --> 0:26:33.480
<v Speaker 1>you're saying, Danny.

0:26:34.440 --> 0:26:36.800
<v Speaker 5>I didn't say that, you just implied that.

0:26:36.880 --> 0:26:37.240
<v Speaker 1>Anyway.

0:26:37.280 --> 0:26:39.880
<v Speaker 3>No, all right, we'll get out on that. You're in Seattle.

0:26:39.880 --> 0:26:42.320
<v Speaker 3>You just gonna say, are you relocating to Seattle? You're

0:26:42.320 --> 0:26:44.840
<v Speaker 3>planning back to LA. What's the plane?

0:26:45.160 --> 0:26:47.800
<v Speaker 4>We're gonna jump back on an airplane in just a

0:26:47.840 --> 0:26:48.840
<v Speaker 4>few hours from now.

0:26:49.359 --> 0:26:51.160
<v Speaker 3>All right, so we'll be back in LA which means

0:26:51.160 --> 0:26:53.320
<v Speaker 3>you'll be able to be with me tomorrow. Yes for

<v Speaker 3>about college football, that dope Miami.

0:27:14.200 --> 0:27:16.679
<v Speaker 1>Danny always gets upset. What are you talking about college football?

0:27:16.800 --> 0:27:20.000

0:27:20.200 --> 0:27:21.520
