So this is a mini 0:02:12.160 --> 0:02:18.160 Mallard travel log honoring my grandfather Jack, who would always 0:02:18.160 --> 0:02:21.280 bring us kids grandkids. We'd have to come over there 0:02:21.760 --> 0:02:24.799 and he'd have a slide show and he thought we 0:02:24.800 --> 0:02:27.800 were fascinated by his photos, but we were little kids 0:02:27.800 --> 0:02:31.200 and we didn't want to be there. He would tell 0:02:31.240 --> 0:02:33.960 these great stories about these different cities around the world 0:02:34.000 --> 0:02:36.120 that he visited, and we were all like, let us leave, 0:02:36.240 --> 0:02:36.880 let us leave. 0:02:37.760 --> 0:02:40.519 Didn't he at least take pictures of the show girls. 0:02:41.440 --> 0:02:43.760 No, he would be he would be like, you know, 0:02:43.840 --> 0:02:45.120 here's the whaling wall. 0:02:45.520 --> 0:02:49.240 You know, and here's a here's a shot of seal 0:02:49.320 --> 0:02:50.880 out on the everybody. 0:02:50.720 --> 0:02:54.079 Was, you know, he nobody wants to see that exactly, Well, 0:02:54.120 --> 0:02:54.480 we didn't. 0:02:54.480 --> 0:02:56.200 We certainly didn't want to see this because maybe the 0:02:56.600 --> 0:02:57.520 grown ups wanted to. 0:02:58.000 --> 0:03:02.440 So on this travel log I stay just off the 0:03:02.560 --> 0:03:07.960 Fremont Street experience, I knew it. Yeah, that's my spot. 0:03:08.000 --> 0:03:08.440 I was at a. 0:03:08.560 --> 0:03:10.079 I did not stay at the Circa. 0:03:10.480 --> 0:03:13.399 I was going to stay at the Circa, and then 0:03:13.520 --> 0:03:15.880 I saw how much they were charging for rooms at 0:03:15.919 --> 0:03:16.560 the Circa, and. 0:03:16.520 --> 0:03:18.400 I said, I'm good. I'm good. 0:03:19.200 --> 0:03:23.040 That's the taj mahall of sports books, the Circa sports book, 0:03:23.600 --> 0:03:27.760 and the drive. I drove on Friday night. I do 0:03:27.919 --> 0:03:31.640 not like driving on Friday or Sunday to Vegas, but 0:03:31.639 --> 0:03:33.720 I drove on Friday night. I was planning on leaving 0:03:33.760 --> 0:03:36.520 earlier in the day. I went now with my wife. 0:03:36.520 --> 0:03:39.360 This was a guys trip to Vegas. My wife said, 0:03:39.400 --> 0:03:41.040 you need a guys trip to Vegas. I said, I 0:03:41.080 --> 0:03:43.120 don't need a guys trip to Vegas. She said, you 0:03:43.200 --> 0:03:45.640 need a guys trip to Vega. I said, no, I don't. 0:03:45.720 --> 0:03:47.480 So I ended up going on a guys trip. 0:03:47.240 --> 0:03:50.360 To Vegas, which was fine, but we were supposed to 0:03:50.400 --> 0:03:52.040 go on early in the day. We ended up driving 0:03:52.120 --> 0:03:53.080 on Friday night. 0:03:53.160 --> 0:03:55.480 I went with my old high school football teammate, guy 0:03:55.520 --> 0:03:59.400 named Hunter, who is also a now a middle aged 0:03:59.680 --> 0:04:02.840 game buddy with two kids, and we did this. 0:04:02.920 --> 0:04:04.280 We left at six thirty. 0:04:05.200 --> 0:04:09.360 You would think going to Vegas at six thirty on 0:04:09.440 --> 0:04:12.880 a Friday night, that's most people going earlier, is fine. 0:04:13.280 --> 0:04:17.360 So I looked at the GPS. It said four hours 0:04:17.400 --> 0:04:21.560 to drive from the LA Area and the North Woods 0:04:21.600 --> 0:04:25.479 out to Vegas. So we get in the car, we 0:04:25.560 --> 0:04:28.640 load up, we're on our way. We're doing our thing 0:04:28.720 --> 0:04:33.719 here and cruising along, making great time. My buddy's like, 0:04:33.800 --> 0:04:35.479 I wanted someone. I want somebody. Why don't we stop 0:04:35.520 --> 0:04:37.400 by that Del Taco and Barstow? 0:04:37.640 --> 0:04:40.280 You know that famous if you're in side, if you 0:04:40.640 --> 0:04:41.520 load the beef. 0:04:41.800 --> 0:04:45.800 Yeah, if you go from California through the desert in 0:04:45.839 --> 0:04:50.360 California to to Vegas is like the original Del Taco 0:04:50.480 --> 0:04:51.160 alleged or one. 0:04:51.160 --> 0:04:51.479 I don't know. 0:04:51.480 --> 0:04:54.680 It's just a barstow, which is a desert town and 0:04:54.720 --> 0:04:56.839 they have certain items. They don't have it any other 0:04:57.520 --> 0:04:59.479 It's a Mexican If you're not familiar with Deltaco. 0:04:59.480 --> 0:05:01.040 It's a fast food Mexican restaurant. 0:05:01.160 --> 0:05:03.840 They claimed to be the very first Dell Taco. 0:05:03.920 --> 0:05:05.440 And who the hell knows if that's true or not, 0:05:05.480 --> 0:05:08.360 but we just go with it. And so my buddies 0:05:08.480 --> 0:05:10.520 I want to eat at this barstow they'll talk. 0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:11.719 I was like, all right, fine, we'll stop. 0:05:12.040 --> 0:05:14.040 And I was like, I'm not gonna I don't really 0:05:14.080 --> 0:05:16.640 want to break my fast with this or whatever I do, 0:05:17.240 --> 0:05:18.600 So I'm not really going to do that. 0:05:18.800 --> 0:05:20.360 So we got right back on the road. 0:05:20.560 --> 0:05:23.760 He ate in the car were cruising along, and then 0:05:23.800 --> 0:05:26.200 I was like, you know what, I will break my 0:05:26.360 --> 0:05:29.880 fast at the Mad Greek in Baker for one of those. 0:05:29.800 --> 0:05:32.800 Really good shakes. And that's the way to go, the 0:05:32.800 --> 0:05:33.359 Mad Greek. 0:05:33.440 --> 0:05:36.080 And so I've always stopped there over the years, you know, 0:05:36.120 --> 0:05:38.520 twenty plus years, probably thirty years now going to Vegas, 0:05:38.600 --> 0:05:41.599 and so I was like, okay, And then by the 0:05:41.640 --> 0:05:46.680 time we got the Baker, unfortunately they're not They're no 0:05:46.720 --> 0:05:49.760 longer open out of an abundance of caution, Danny and 0:05:49.839 --> 0:05:53.280 a lack of employees. Ever since COVID. They used to 0:05:53.320 --> 0:05:55.680 be open all night. As I remember, they were only 0:05:55.680 --> 0:05:57.520 open till like one in the morning, but now they 0:05:57.560 --> 0:05:59.040 were already closed by the time we got. 0:05:58.960 --> 0:06:00.800 The Baker Woo. 0:06:01.520 --> 0:06:02.560 Yeah, sucked. 0:06:03.160 --> 0:06:04.960 So by the time we got to Baker's probably like 0:06:05.120 --> 0:06:09.080 a little after ten, and I was bummed out. 0:06:09.080 --> 0:06:10.720 So I was like, ah, whatever, So we get back. 0:06:10.800 --> 0:06:14.000 We just keep going through the desert, and all of 0:06:14.040 --> 0:06:15.560 a sudden, we get a little bit past Baker, a 0:06:15.600 --> 0:06:18.839 little north of Baker, and that's the last stop before 0:06:18.880 --> 0:06:21.600 you get to the Nevada border and you get to 0:06:22.400 --> 0:06:26.840 prim Nevada, which is a little desert tent. So we 0:06:27.880 --> 0:06:30.480 all of a sudden, I see nothing but red lights, 0:06:30.520 --> 0:06:35.440 a sea of red lights, a tail light delight, and 0:06:35.800 --> 0:06:39.080 all of a sudden, we are now completely stopped in 0:06:39.160 --> 0:06:42.200 the middle of the California desert, just north of Baker, 0:06:43.720 --> 0:06:47.680 and we're not moving. All of a sudden, it's Baker, 0:06:47.720 --> 0:06:51.080 the Headache Maker, and we're like, well, this will probably 0:06:51.080 --> 0:06:57.480 clear up pretty quick. You know, No, we stayed there, 0:06:57.760 --> 0:07:01.200 and the whole time we stayed there, the map, the app. 0:07:01.040 --> 0:07:04.039 We were using on the phone, time added time at it. 0:07:04.080 --> 0:07:05.799 You know, you're the worst. 0:07:06.600 --> 0:07:09.600 Yeah, so maybe we were there ninety minutes to two 0:07:09.640 --> 0:07:14.960 hours stopped nothing. People are getting out of their cars 0:07:15.040 --> 0:07:17.640 pissing in the desert on the side of the road. 0:07:19.200 --> 0:07:21.120 It was wild, right, it was what it was, a 0:07:21.160 --> 0:07:22.000 total shit show. 0:07:22.480 --> 0:07:25.520 Estimated time in traffic fifty seven minutes. 0:07:25.760 --> 0:07:30.640 Yeah, so this four hour trip at night with no 0:07:30.840 --> 0:07:35.080 traffic turned into a journey. By the time we got 0:07:35.160 --> 0:07:39.520 to the hotel in Vegas, it was after one thirty 0:07:39.560 --> 0:07:43.720 in the morning. It was a seven hour drive that 0:07:43.840 --> 0:07:46.600 was supposed to be a four hour drive, which is 0:07:46.640 --> 0:07:48.520 actually a little bit faster because the last time I 0:07:48.560 --> 0:07:50.520 went to Vegas, which is like two weeks ago, it 0:07:50.560 --> 0:07:54.320 took eight hours to get to Vegas, So this took 0:07:54.400 --> 0:07:57.440 only seven hours. So I picked up an hour and 0:07:57.880 --> 0:07:58.720 asked for the trip. 0:07:59.200 --> 0:07:59.400 It was. 0:07:59.480 --> 0:08:02.360 It was relatively good. I did not have success gambling. 0:08:02.400 --> 0:08:06.280 I lost a couple of baseball games in the final 0:08:06.320 --> 0:08:09.720 at bat, which killed me. The biggest bet that we 0:08:09.840 --> 0:08:14.480 made was the Golden State Warriors game one Oh No, 0:08:15.000 --> 0:08:18.560 when Andrew Wiggins missed that wide open three point shot 0:08:19.840 --> 0:08:23.840 and brick and then Sacramento ended up winning. 0:08:23.880 --> 0:08:27.200 The Kings were favored by like one one and a 0:08:27.240 --> 0:08:30.680 half and the Warriors make that shot, they win the game. 0:08:32.320 --> 0:08:34.800 So that that was a bummer. Didn't eat a lot 0:08:34.880 --> 0:08:37.280 because I kept my diet going. I did have and 0:08:37.360 --> 0:08:39.640 I recommend this place if you're going around looking for 0:08:39.679 --> 0:08:40.199 a place. 0:08:40.040 --> 0:08:40.880 To eat, Danny. 0:08:41.200 --> 0:08:44.600 It's got the malorous seal of approval. It's called Bobby's Burgers. 0:08:45.160 --> 0:08:45.920 Have you ever been there? 0:08:46.520 --> 0:08:50.559 No, it's at Hera's Hotel at Casino, right there in 0:08:50.559 --> 0:08:53.240 the middle of the strip. Bobby's Burgers. One of those 0:08:53.280 --> 0:08:56.719 TV chef guys runs the place, or he puts his. 0:08:56.720 --> 0:08:58.480 Name on it, Bobby Flay. 0:08:59.520 --> 0:09:01.160 I think that. I think you might actually be right. 0:09:02.480 --> 0:09:03.840 I don't even remember that. I don't know a lot 0:09:03.880 --> 0:09:07.240 of those I know, like two TV chefs, But Bobby's Burgers. 0:09:07.280 --> 0:09:09.160 It's at Hera's. Really good. 0:09:09.240 --> 0:09:13.199 It's like a higher class version of shake Shack. If 0:09:13.200 --> 0:09:15.240 you like shake Shack, It's like a better It's a 0:09:15.280 --> 0:09:18.360 little pricey. I do not recommend getting a fountain drink. 0:09:18.360 --> 0:09:21.040 I was gonna get a fountain drink and I was like, yeah, 0:09:21.320 --> 0:09:23.640 add the found drink.

I wandered by myself. 0:13:15.400 --> 0:13:19.160 I'm a pretty big guy around random streets. I started 0:13:19.200 --> 0:13:23.400 out on the Fremont Street experience, where you can find 0:13:23.440 --> 0:13:28.040 any kind of sodom and gomora type activity there. So 0:13:28.080 --> 0:13:32.400 I walked around Fremont Street, down around different streets. I 0:13:32.440 --> 0:13:36.240 went to places I'd never been. I walked very casually 0:13:37.280 --> 0:13:40.960 for about three hours, and I stopped at casinos and 0:13:41.000 --> 0:13:43.840 I was people I was really just people watching. It 0:13:43.920 --> 0:13:46.600 was like being at a zoo. It felt like I 0:13:46.720 --> 0:13:48.800 was at the Bronx Zoo or something of the San 0:13:48.840 --> 0:13:54.720 Diego Zoo. And I ended up walking five miles just randomly, 0:13:54.760 --> 0:13:58.800 just wandering around. I also got high from the second 0:13:58.840 --> 0:14:01.000 I didn't. I don't smoke weed, but I there was 0:14:01.120 --> 0:14:02.320 enough weed there that I was. 0:14:02.360 --> 0:14:05.240 I was good smoke weed every day. 0:14:07.360 --> 0:14:11.840 And if I could bottle the smells of Vegas. The 0:14:11.960 --> 0:14:16.120 smells of Vegas are a combination. Here's my cologne to 0:14:16.280 --> 0:14:22.200 s up walking around my experience downtown Vegas, weed, piss, 0:14:22.880 --> 0:14:27.720 and shit. If you could combine equal parts weed, piss 0:14:27.840 --> 0:14:31.880 and shit, you were smoke, well, yeah, that's I guess 0:14:31.920 --> 0:14:33.200 that's included in the weed too. 0:14:33.320 --> 0:14:35.200 That's you're absolutely. 0:14:34.840 --> 0:14:38.200 Yeah, but I would feel like that's half the perfume bottle. 0:14:38.760 --> 0:14:43.280 Yeah, that that's the smell of Vegas in the year 0:14:43.360 --> 0:14:47.720 of our lowerd twenty twenty three, and my lungs were hurting. 0:14:48.560 --> 0:14:52.280 My lungs were hurting from all of the different smells 0:14:52.800 --> 0:14:55.280 that were going to my my lungs. I guess I 0:14:55.320 --> 0:14:57.640 was a bad tour guide for myself, Danny, I guess 0:14:57.680 --> 0:14:59.000 that's the problem. 0:14:59.240 --> 0:15:01.120 A couple of days ago, while I was still in 0:15:01.200 --> 0:15:04.160 Sherman Oaks, I got hit up by an old radio 0:15:04.280 --> 0:15:10.200 coworker who is visiting LA from Madison, Wisconsin. And of 0:15:10.240 --> 0:15:12.480 course she used to live out here in Cali. The 0:15:12.600 --> 0:15:15.800 second person, the co host on our morning show. Really 0:15:15.840 --> 0:15:19.360 cool people always got along with her and her family. 0:15:20.080 --> 0:15:22.400 Now we hardly I don't know about you, but I 0:15:22.480 --> 0:15:24.400 might go on LinkedIn like twice a year. 0:15:25.120 --> 0:15:27.800 Yeah, I'm the same way unless you're looking for a job. 0:15:28.040 --> 0:15:32.440 It's not unless you want to send random birthday messages 0:15:32.480 --> 0:15:33.760 to people that you hardly know. 0:15:34.320 --> 0:15:37.480 Yeah, or celebrate a ten year work anniversary. 0:15:37.960 --> 0:15:39.280 I want a mature guy. 0:15:39.960 --> 0:15:42.040 But she let me know that she was here in 0:15:42.080 --> 0:15:45.320 Los Angeles and she wanted to stop by when she 0:15:45.400 --> 0:15:47.560 was in the valley. She wanted to stop by the 0:15:47.600 --> 0:15:51.680 Sherman Oaks building and take a little tour. So I 0:15:51.720 --> 0:15:55.120 know our bosses are not fond of guests in the 0:15:55.200 --> 0:15:59.440 daytime just stopping by out of nowhere. There's still some 0:15:59.480 --> 0:16:03.320 super vibe around as you know, into the late afternoon. 0:16:03.840 --> 0:16:06.000 So I made sure to clear it with our boss 0:16:06.240 --> 0:16:08.160 and I was just like, hey, she just wants a 0:16:08.200 --> 0:16:11.440 quick tour while she's in Sherman Oaks and he's like, yeah, 0:16:11.440 --> 0:16:14.600 no problem. But one thing I didn't take into account, 0:16:14.600 --> 0:16:18.720 Big Ben. We now have brand new digs, state of 0:16:18.720 --> 0:16:21.200 the art studios that we're about to move into. 0:16:21.800 --> 0:16:22.840 When is the big date? 0:16:23.440 --> 0:16:26.320 That is Tuesday, Tuesday. 0:16:26.520 --> 0:16:29.400 Tuesday Tuesday, just a couple days away. 0:16:29.880 --> 0:16:35.800 Yeah, So unfortunately she was a week too early on 0:16:35.880 --> 0:16:36.440 her visit. 0:16:37.120 --> 0:16:39.800 But I thought, hey, you know, I could still show her. 0:16:41.880 --> 0:16:46.880 No because our engineers leave at three and thirty in 0:16:46.880 --> 0:16:47.600 the afternoon. 0:16:48.240 --> 0:16:52.320 Oh they're on contractor time, which is whenever they want 0:16:52.320 --> 0:16:53.240 to leave, they leave. 0:16:53.360 --> 0:16:54.040 What the hell. 0:16:54.720 --> 0:16:57.240 And the thing is, they have not updated our key 0:16:57.320 --> 0:17:02.400 cards to include access to these new facilities, so they 0:17:02.440 --> 0:17:03.440 lock these doors. 0:17:03.480 --> 0:17:04.880 They put yellow tape on. 0:17:04.840 --> 0:17:08.560 The front of them right now basically saying stay out, 0:17:08.960 --> 0:17:09.720 get out. 0:17:09.520 --> 0:17:10.760 And you're not allowed in here. 0:17:10.880 --> 0:17:12.639 Yet it looks like a crime scene. 0:17:13.119 --> 0:17:13.600 It does. 0:17:14.040 --> 0:17:18.440 Yeah, of course, these being the old half Steve Harvey 0:17:19.000 --> 0:17:23.560 and half Rush Limbaugh. I did the best I could 0:17:23.600 --> 0:17:26.120 to kind of, you know, tell them how it used 0:17:26.119 --> 0:17:31.399 to be a Denny's, and how the great Rush Limbaugh 0:17:31.520 --> 0:17:34.640 used to grace the hallways there occasionally. 0:17:35.359 --> 0:17:38.000 How you stole a pen from Steve Harvey. 0:17:37.920 --> 0:17:40.359 And Rush Limbaugh by the way, but I got a Limbo. 0:17:40.400 --> 0:17:42.440 It was from his hotel, But I got a Limbaugh 0:17:42.520 --> 0:17:45.440 pen and a Steve Harvey penn. And I've been there 0:17:45.480 --> 0:17:49.240 so long, Danny, before Limbaugh and before Harvey, there was 0:17:49.280 --> 0:17:53.040 a show called rock Line that had a live studio 0:17:53.200 --> 0:17:57.440 audience out of that studio. Is rock Line even still 0:17:57.480 --> 0:17:58.280 on the air anymore? 0:17:58.359 --> 0:18:00.520 Probably not, I don't think so. 0:18:00.800 --> 0:18:03.800 But I felt like the worst tour guide in the 0:18:03.880 --> 0:18:07.600 history of tour guides, because not only could I not 0:18:07.760 --> 0:18:11.400 open these doors to show her and her ride the studios, 0:18:11.680 --> 0:18:14.160 I had them doing that peek in thing where they're 0:18:14.200 --> 0:18:17.480 like this with their hands trying to look through the glass. 0:18:17.880 --> 0:18:20.159 Yeah, yeah, that's that's note. 0:18:20.160 --> 0:18:23.320 Oh and you can't see shitting there like that. And 0:18:24.320 --> 0:18:27.480 then I walked down the hallway. Two of our editors 0:18:27.480 --> 0:18:30.120 are like slapping each other like a locker room. 0:18:32.040 --> 0:18:34.720 It just and then the. 0:18:34.080 --> 0:18:37.200 The producer for the show that was on at the time, 0:18:37.359 --> 0:18:42.879 was eating like Greek food at the counter. I didn't 0:18:42.880 --> 0:18:45.600 even know how to, you know, like you you feel 0:18:45.600 --> 0:18:48.879 like maybe in the fourth quarter you could come back. Yeah, 0:18:48.960 --> 0:18:51.399 I dug myself such a hole. There was no coming 0:18:51.480 --> 0:18:55.120 back from that. So after they left, I was like, man, 0:18:55.720 --> 0:18:57.800 I bet they're going to talk about how shitty this 0:18:57.840 --> 0:18:58.840 tour was when they leave. 0:19:00.240 --> 0:19:02.399 Well, you said, they're radio people like that. 0:19:02.760 --> 0:19:06.200 One of them was super impressed, because what casey case 0:19:06.240 --> 0:19:10.080 I'm nicky six. Yeah, but the person that gave her 0:19:10.080 --> 0:19:13.479 a ride was like, who cares. I'm like an LA person, 0:19:13.520 --> 0:19:14.840 you know, a big deal. 0:19:15.440 --> 0:19:16.560 Yeah, not impressed. 0:19:16.640 --> 0:19:20.560 Well, you gave an authentic experience. You gave an authentic 0:19:20.720 --> 0:19:24.160 radio experience. And I've I've also learned like those tour guides, 0:19:24.240 --> 0:19:26.679 you know when you go on the Jungle Cruise at Disneyland, 0:19:26.720 --> 0:19:29.000 they've got the whole script, or you go to see 0:19:29.080 --> 0:19:32.639 Dodger Stadium or Finway Park, like they have all the stories. 0:19:32.680 --> 0:19:34.200 They know like when we get here, we got to 0:19:34.240 --> 0:19:36.600 tell this story.
