1
00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:01,480
Speaker 1: Kabooms.

2
00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:05,440
Speaker 2: If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes

3
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:09,240
Speaker 2: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants

4
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:12,560
Speaker 2: of the Old Republic, a soul fashion of fairness. He

5
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:15,560
Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the

6
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:17,520
Speaker 2: rich pill poppers in the penthouse.

7
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:18,440
Speaker 1: Wow.

8
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 2: The clearing House of Hot takes break free for something special.

9
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:29,479
Speaker 2: The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now.

10
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 1: In the air everywhere, and the weekend has begun. Now,

11
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 1: how do I know the weekend has begun? Because this

12
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 1: is the Fifth Hour with Me, Ben Mallard and Danny

13
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 1: g Radio. Happy National Popcorn Day. Dany Are you a

14
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,159
Speaker 1: fan of popcorn? Uh?

15
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 3: Not a huge fan.

16
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:52,520
Speaker 4: I mean, if you go to the movies, it's hard

17
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 4: to pass it up when it's warm and it's got

18
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 4: a little bit of butter on it. But I don't

19
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 4: like the way it sticks in your teeth, and also

20
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 4: I don't like the way you feel after you're done

21
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 4: gorging on it.

22
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well it's a popcorn orgy when you go to

23
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 1: the movie theater. And I don't eat a lot of popcorn.

24
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:12,960
Speaker 1: I actually like popcorn. I'm positive I'm in the pro

25
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 1: popcorn camp, but the stomach ache is pretty bad. And

26
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:20,679
Speaker 1: I was told by so many years ago that with

27
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 1: every kernel of popcorn that you eat is about ten

28
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 1: seconds of your life less that you're going to live.

29
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 1: I got a thing about dead bodies eating the buttered

30
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,320
Speaker 1: the movie theater buttered popcorn, which is so good, yeah,

31
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 1: so amazing. And back in the day, my big eating

32
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 1: days before I started doing this fuges fasting and all

33
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 1: that dandy, I would go to a theater near the

34
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 1: house and they had I don't know if they still

35
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 1: do this, they used to do buy a large popcorn

36
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 1: and you get a free refill. That was the thing.

37
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 1: So I'd buy the large popcorn, like the extra large popcorn.

38
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 4: They still do that, but the large popcorn is twenty

39
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:00,120
Speaker 4: nine to ninety.

40
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, so back in my day it was reasonable, comparably reason.

41
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 1: I'd get the large popcorn, and I would get there

42
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 1: as early as I could watch all the trailers and

43
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 1: try to finish about half of it before the movie

44
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 1: started so I could go back and get more. And

45
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: and that was my move. But there's a few things

46
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 1: better than popcorn at a movie, and like chocolate and

47
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 1: the sweet and the salty fatty popcorn. It's just absolutely wonderful.

48
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 1: So Happy National Popcorn eight and we are back. A

49
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,079
Speaker 1: new weekend is upon us here on the fifth hour,

50
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: and today's edition a hodgepodge of randomness as we head

51
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:50,800
Speaker 1: into a divisional playoff weekend in the NFL tomorrow and Sunday,

52
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 1: we will be down to the final four teams in

53
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: the NFL by Sunday. Night says it's wrapping up. But Danny,

54
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,239
Speaker 1: we're getting close to the silly season in football, which

55
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 1: is also fun for sports radio. But only a couple

56
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 1: more games to go here. It's crazy.

57
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 4: It seems like just yesterday we were celebrating on the

58
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 4: air the preseason and the start of the season. I

59
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 4: can't believe it's wrapping up right now.

60
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:18,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just we're on a high speed submarine, like

61
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 1: a nuclear fusion submarine, just flying through through all of this.

62
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 1: But we have today Today's pot, we have the Green

63
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: Day Heaven Coster Special, the phrase of the week, and

64
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: we'll see what else we have we have time for.

65
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 1: So I want to start with this now. As you know,

66
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 1: this podcast serves two purposes. Not only does it give

67
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:46,119
Speaker 1: you the consumer fresh audio content on the weekends when

68
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 1: I'm normally not working, and Danny as well. But in addition,

69
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 1: I canhore myself out and promote my TV show which

70
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: is still on the air. It's amazing, I know. So

71
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 1: we we recorded the latest episode, the Divisional Round episode

72
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 1: of Benny Versus the Penny, and I was asked by

73
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 1: a listener, I did not use this in the mailbag.

74
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 1: I'm using it right now. Mailbag's on Sunday. But he asked,

75
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 1: how are you guys going to do the show because

76
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: there's not as many games, and you guys still have

77
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 1: to do the full, full show. And so my response

78
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 1: to that is a, yeah, there aren't as many games obviously,

79
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 1: but it's only a half an hour show. And Danny,

80
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 1: as you know from being a seasoned radio professional, we

81
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 1: do on a radio show, you know, twenty two and

82
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 1: a half, twenty three minutes of content with our eyes

83
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 1: closed and our hands tied behind our back or whatever.

84
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:46,720
Speaker 1: Rush Limbaugh used to say.

85
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 4: We could go on a side rant for a good

86
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,160
Speaker 4: eighteen nineteen minutes and then try to get back to

87
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 4: the point. But then your producer is saying break break,

88
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 4: gotta go, and you've got to pick up your real

89
00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 4: topic on the other side exactly.

90
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 1: So that's the point.

91
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:00,720
Speaker 2: I mean.

92
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 1: And and you just when you do the radio stuff,

93
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:07,279
Speaker 1: it's long form. It's I do four hours a night.

94
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 1: I've done five in the past. I did with Looney

95
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,279
Speaker 1: who I do the TV show with. We would go

96
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:16,239
Speaker 1: on the air at one o'clock Eastern time, ten o'clock

97
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 1: in the West, and we would go all the way

98
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 1: till seven o'clock. So we did six hours of live

99
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: radio every Sunday for seven years. And so you learn,

100
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,599
Speaker 1: you learn how to how to talk, and you know.

101
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:33,479
Speaker 1: So I'm we're worried about that. And even with the

102
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 1: fewer number of games, we still have so much to say,

103
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 1: we likely we'll still run out of that. But that's

104
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,719
Speaker 1: not the point, all right. The point is this. We

105
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:44,799
Speaker 1: had a historical moment on this latest episode of Benny

106
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:46,720
Speaker 1: Versus the Petty, which will be start It's gonna start

107
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:50,280
Speaker 1: airing later today. I think the first showing is this

108
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 1: afternoon in San Francisco. But uh, and it's on all

109
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: the country. So our first wardrobe malfunction on the TV show.

110
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 1: You always remember your first So if that didn't catch

111
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 1: your attention, maybe he did. I don't know. Was it me?

112
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 1: Did I have the wardrobe malfunction? No, because I have

113
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:14,359
Speaker 1: a military like outfit when I go and do this show.

114
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,720
Speaker 1: I have the hat, I have the pullover top, I

115
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,479
Speaker 1: have the dress shirt. That's my outfit. That's what I wear.

116
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 1: But Tom Looney was called to the carpet. Is it

117
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:31,600
Speaker 1: true that Tom Looney had a fashion faux pauw? A

118
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 1: fashion faux pauw on the Fifth Hour podcast or the

119
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:38,839
Speaker 1: TV show which we're talking about now, on the Fifth

120
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 1: Hour podcast. So Looney he wore a shirt he showed up. Now,

121
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 1: the way this works, I get there hours before we're

122
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 1: supposed to record the TV show, and I squeeze my

123
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 1: way into the back room there at Universal Studios. There's

124
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 1: no one there. The place is completely empty. And I

125
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 1: go in there and there's a table, a couple of

126
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 1: chairs around it. There's a big whiteboard that has some

127
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 1: notes for some I don't even read it, some movies

128
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 1: something or whatever. So I'm sitting there, I got like

129
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 1: half a light on, and I'm going over my notes,

130
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 1: doing some final preparation for the show. About half an

131
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 1: hour before the show before the record time, Loony comes

132
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 1: rolling it. Now, the great thing about Looney is. You

133
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: don't have to be worried about being surprised by Loony

134
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 1: because it's like a stampede of Buffalo Danny. You can

135
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: hear Looney approaching from a mile away because he's just

136
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 1: randomly saying hello and talking to random people in the building.

137
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 1: So I knew Looney was on the way. So he

138
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 1: comes in there and I say hello. We do the

139
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 1: usual niceties and all that, and I always make sure

140
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 1: to take note of his outfit because he wears some

141
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 1: crazy crap. And he had the shirt on and he

142
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 1: pointed out that this is a shirt with mikecrophones, and

143
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 1: I was like, well, who cares? You know, I'm a

144
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 1: big deal, and Looney was trying to explain, well, we

145
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 1: work with microphones. This is kind of cool. And you

146
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 1: know who does care, though, Danny. That would be the

147
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 1: production team in Boston. And as Paul Harvey used to

148
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 1: say on radio, you know what the news is. But

149
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: now you're about to hear the rest of the story.

150
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 1: So why would the production team in Boston be upset

151
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 1: by Tom Looney wearing just a random shirt with microphones

152
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 1: on a TV show. Well, it turns out that those

153
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:40,199
Speaker 1: microphones were bright green microphones, bright green microphones. You want

154
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 1: to take a guess, Danny, what happens when one wears

155
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 1: the color green the television show in a studio?

156
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 4: You look like Casper the Friendly Ghost exactly.

157
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,079
Speaker 1: So we do the show obviously in a studio with

158
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 1: green screen. That's how they are able to put the graphics.

159
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 1: Minus it's just basic TV. And Looney sits down, he

160
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,320
Speaker 1: gets miked up, They put his ifb in and he's

161
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:06,959
Speaker 1: he said, oh, hello everyone, you know, and all this stuff.

162
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 1: And we're looking in the monitor and you're right, it's

163
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 1: like Looney has become Casper the Friendly Ghost. We see

164
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 1: his head, but it was floating, yeah, yeah, mostly a

165
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 1: floating head. Mostly floating again and uh, and they were

166
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,559
Speaker 1: trying to figure out. Originally the people in Boston are like,

167
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 1: what's going on. They thought it was a problem with

168
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 1: the graphics and and then we were correfully surmised. No, no, no,

169
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 1: this was Looney going full green day and he had

170
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 1: to do the walk of shame. Now, Fortunately for Looney,

171
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 1: he knew he's klutz and he did bring an extra shirt,

172
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 1: so he did bring an extra so so it wasn't

173
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 1: a total disaster, but it was hilarious because we're getting

174
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 1: ready to start recording the show and they're like, we

175
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 1: can't do it, you know, we're done, and and so

176
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 1: Looney had to go in the back room and change

177
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 1: it was It was pretty funny.

178
00:09:57,640 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 3: It was what would have happened if he had not

179
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:00,559
Speaker 3: had the extra with.

180
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:02,959
Speaker 1: Him, Well, it just been me. I would have been talking.

181
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 1: I would have pretended to be loony and then I'd

182
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 1: go back and do my thing. And yeah, I don't know,

183
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 1: I don't know what would have would have happened with that.

184
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 1: But by the way, the TV show, the divisional Round

185
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 1: edition of Benny Versus the Penny. You got to check

186
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 1: your local TV listings, as Danny likes to say, for

187
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:22,080
Speaker 1: showings in your area. It's distributed by n B. See

188
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 1: Celtics are probably in BC. Yeah, right, Celtics are playing tonight,

189
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 1: so we're on late We're bumped to the late TV

Speaker 1: window tonight in Boston, Benny Versus the Penny eleven thirty.

191
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:36,160

00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 1: eleven thirty and then an encore showing at midnight in Boston.

193
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 1: There's a I think a Flyers game in Philadelphia. I

194
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 1: believe on NBC Sports Phillies will be on eleven o'clock

195
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 1: there I have a late night showing in Chicago tonight.

196
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:56,679
Speaker 1: Bay Area. We're on first showings at two o'clock this

197
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 1: afternoon Pacific time, so we're on early and there's three.

198
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,200
Speaker 1: There's two other showings after that. There's one after the

199
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:05,320
Speaker 1: Warriors game, so check your listenings on that. We're also

200
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,680
Speaker 1: on a couple of times on NBC Sports California, which

201
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 1: is the home of the Sacramento Kings, and then tomorrow

202
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 1: Danny on Saturday, I guess the Lakers aren't playing because

203
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 1: Benny versus the Penny will be on Spectrum Sports Net

204
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 1: SoCal not once, not twice, not three times, but four

205
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 1: showings for showing. That's I think that's a record.

206
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, the Lakers play in Sunday evening.

207
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:31,839
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, so we're on thank god, we're on four

208
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 1: times in the Los Angeles market on Spectrum Sports Net SOCOW,

209
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:40,439
Speaker 1: which is my favorite. I don't know how that became

210
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 1: my favorite cable channel in LA. It's very odd. And

211
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 1: then on Sunday we have the normal block. We have

212
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 1: been locked into the eleven thirty a m. Eastern TV

213
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:56,200
Speaker 1: Window on Sports Net New York better known as s

214
00:11:56,400 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 1: n Y, which will be interesting because that show will

215
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:08,679
Speaker 1: be broadcast after the games on Saturday, and who knows.

216
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 1: I don't know it's gonna happen with that because we

217
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 1: don't know who's gonna win. I have my picks. But

218
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 1: the games on Saturday, the Texans and Ravens and the

219
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 1: Packers and forty nine Ers, and the mother time the

220
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:20,680
Speaker 1: show airs, those two games will be long over. So

221
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,079
Speaker 1: either all look like a genius or a total jackass

222
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 1: on the TV show. So now that was the Green

223
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:32,440
Speaker 1: Day story with Looney Tunes man Na Machado Pop Two

224
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 1: Bodies Tonight. Now turning the page on that, I wanted

225
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 1: to share a bit of a story. So this past

226
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 1: weekend I wanted to follow up on a story Danny

227
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 1: that I told on the on the radio on the

228
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 1: radio the other night. This goes way back to early

229
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:54,679
Speaker 1: in the week. So this past weekend was party Hardy's Hunt.

230
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:59,440
Speaker 1: My friend, my colleiue, Rob Parker, our buddy Rob. We

231
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 1: love Rob. And he celebrated his sixtieth trip around the

232
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 1: globe here around the planet, Spin Spin, Spin Around, and

233
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 1: so he threw a very elaborate birthday party at the

234
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 1: MGM Grand Hotel and Casino in the heart of Lost Wages,

235
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:22,960
Speaker 1: Nevada and Rob invited us. So we love Rob, we

236
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:26,679
Speaker 1: love Vegas. So we were like, yeah, we're going, and

237
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:28,440
Speaker 1: so we spent the weekend. Me and the wife spent

238
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 1: the weekend in Sin City and we had had a

239
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:33,960
Speaker 1: lot of fun. It was a great trip. I'll tell

240
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 1: more about it. Throughout the weekend. We drove, always drive.

241
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 1: I've only flown to Vegas once in all these years

242
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 1: I've been around going to Vegas. I've been going to

243
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 1: Vegas for a long time and only once have I flown.

244
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:47,560
Speaker 1: And the only reason I flew was because somebody paid

245
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 1: for it. I didn't pay for it. You know, a

246
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:52,840
Speaker 1: man of the people. I know all the great restaurants

247
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 1: in Victorville. Barstow, Baker and Prim have it all mapped out, Danny,

248
00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:00,080
Speaker 1: I know where to go in Victorville. There's all a

249
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 1: lot of good restaurants in Victoryville. But that's the first

250
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 1: that's like the twenty five percent mark on the way

251
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 1: to Vegas from.

252
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 3: La Yeah, you're barely out of southern California.

253
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 1: Exactly, So you're better off waiting till at least Barstow,

254
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 1: because Barstow, that's like the sweet spot that's halfway Baker.

255
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 1: I like the mad Greek and Baker, that alien beef

256
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 1: jerkey place out in Baker's kind of cool. But when

257
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 1: you get to Baker, you're like, you know, it's not

258
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 1: that much further to to Vegas. You know, you're more

259
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 1: than a halfway. It's like the But then you go

260
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 1: through Prim and you're like, maybe I could stop in Prim,

261
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 1: maybe do a little gambling, cause it's just right across

262
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 1: the state line from California. But then you're like, it's

263
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 1: only another hour to Vegas. Why don't I just go

264
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 1: to Vegas? And so like Barstow is the perfect spot

265
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 1: on that perfect spot in my opinion. But you see

266
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 1: all the sand and the cactus and all that that

267
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 1: your heart desires. And had a phone. We ate a

268
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 1: lot of good food. I'll tell you more about that

269
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 1: probably later in the weekend. Probably later I'll get to that.

270
00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 1: But watch the games and had a good and the

271
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 1: party was was a lot of fun, a lot of fun.

272
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 1: Rob's Danny. Rob's much different than me. I can't imagine

273
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 1: ever throwing a party like that. For myself. I just can't.

274
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 4: But no, there's no way I could see you doing

275
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 4: something remotely.

276
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 3: Close to that.

277
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 1: No, I will not be renting out the hall at

278
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 1: the MGM Grand for a birthday party. But it was

279
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 1: very kind. I mean, Rob is he's a he's a mensch.

280
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 1: As we like to.

281
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 4: Say, imagine ordering big banners with your face on it.

282
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, that's a little, a little much, but it was.

283
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 1: He sat me at table nine. I was very happy.

284
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 1: I was in the top ten tables. This was a

285
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 1: big event. There were a couple hundred people there. So

286
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 1: I was at table nine, at table nine man with

287
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 1: Bob Garra Wrong Button, Bob producer. He was there. Chris

288
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 1: Brussard was was hanging out. He sat next to me there.

289
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 1: Chris was wearing a tuxedo. Among the other luminaries. That

290
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 1: was like the FSR table. There were a few of

291
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 1: the people that are on the odd Couple were sitting

292
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 1: there as well. And then they had the event. They

293
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 1: had a buffet meal, they had open bar kind of

294
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 1: you had two drinks each, but it's open bar for

295
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 1: two drinks. They had the roast of Rob and poking

296
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 1: fund at Rob for his legendary love of a certain

297
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 1: ballet in Atlanta, and his love of cheapness, you know

298
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 1: when he travels golden girls. All that. Now, Stephen A. Smith,

299
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 1: our former morning guy at Fox Sports Radio, was supposed

300
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 1: to speak, and I must say it again if you

301
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 1: don't know the famous Rob Parker story. If you hate

302
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 1: Stephen A. Smith, you can thank Rob Parker. You can

303
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 1: thank him or be upset with him for Steve and

304
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 1: A still having a career in television because years ago,

305
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 1: when Stephen A was a young sports writer, he was

306
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 1: going to quit sports writing to work at a bank

307
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 1: in I think it was North Carolina, the famous story,

308
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:04,719
Speaker 1: and Rob Parker talked him out of leaving sports media

309
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 1: talked him out of him. He was gonna be he

310
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 1: was gonna be a banker, and and Rob convinced him

311
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 1: not to do it. And Steven A has made a

312
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:17,120
Speaker 1: gazillion dollars since then. But anyway, his flight was delayed.

313
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 3: So he should have bought all of you a third drink,

314
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 3: you think.

315
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 1: So he was supposed to speak. He didn't show up.

316
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 1: We thought he wasn't going to show up. And then

317
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 1: like two hours after the event started, this hooton Nanny.

318
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 1: We were walking me and my wife were walking through

319
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,639
Speaker 1: the one of the hallways. We were like on our way.

320
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:39,399
Speaker 1: We're like, wait, we'll leave now. We've been here a

321
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:42,919
Speaker 1: couple hours and we're starting to walk and we see

322
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 1: coming towards us like ships passing the night. We see

323
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 1: this huge entourage and it's like Floyd Mayweather heading into

324
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:54,879
Speaker 1: the ring at the MGM, or Oscar de la Joya

325
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:58,639
Speaker 1: or Mike Tyson or something like that. Oh okay, And

326
00:17:58,400 --> 00:17:59,680
Speaker 1: and then I was like, wait a minute, this is

327
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 1: like uh Kevin and old Kevin Costner classic, a Kevin

328
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:07,199
Speaker 1: Costner special. Remember that movie, that old movie with Whitney

329
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:10,639
Speaker 1: Houston The Bodyguard. Yeah, it was like, there's like a

330
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 1: bodyguard times too, because hand to God, Danny steven A

331
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:19,160
Speaker 1: walking he had a lady friend with him and there

332
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 1: was like one other person who was a little older,

333
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 1: but then surrounded by these two goon bodyguards. He'll eat

334
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 1: the table protecting steven A from the great Unwashed, which

335
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 1: was amusing because he was walking in an empty corridor

336
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:38,440
Speaker 1: of the MGM, which was off limits to anyone else.

337
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:41,399
Speaker 1: You weren't allowed to be in that area where we were. Uh,

338
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 1: but yeah, he had two bodyguards with him as.

339
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:47,359
Speaker 4: He strolled in what He's made a lot of enemies

340
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 4: over the years. Ben, you don't want to make an

341
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 4: enemy out of him.

342
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 1: You do not want to make an enemy out of me.

343
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 1: I guess was like, was he word that Jason Whitlock

344
00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 1: was going to pop out behind a potted plant and

345
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:02,359
Speaker 1: jump on top of him or something like that? Was

346
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 1: crazy snacks, But that was surprise. That was shocking. Now

347
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 1: stephen A in the past when he was just starting

348
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:20,359
Speaker 1: to rise up at ESPN and that show was taking

349
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 1: off with Skip Bayless. The famous story that we referenced,

350
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:25,719
Speaker 1: Actually Eddie brought this up. I had forgotten about it

351
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:28,880
Speaker 1: back in the Pete Carroll days of USC football when

352
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:33,920
Speaker 1: sc were rock stars in La in that era. Back

353
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 1: in those days, stephen A showed up to a USC

354
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 1: game Colsseum with Pete Carroll, Matt Lioner at Reggie Bush

355
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:46,679
Speaker 1: that group, and at the coliseum he went to the bathroom.

356
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 1: We offer to go the bathroom, but he had a

357
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:53,359
Speaker 1: security guard guard the bathroom so nobody else could go in.

358
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 1: While stephen A was was draining the snake there, no

359
00:19:57,320 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 1: one else could go in. So that was a long time.

360
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 1: That's probably man Pete Carroll sc we're probably going back

361
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:06,640
Speaker 1: fifteen twenty years, not twenty years, but fifteen to twenty years,

362
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 1: a long time ago. And so he's up the bodyguard game.

363
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 1: And how would you think that costs? Because stephen A

364
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 1: travels a lot. He lives on the East Coast, but

365
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 1: he's got a place in La He's traveling all over

366
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 1: the place. So not only do you have to pay

367
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 1: for the bodyguard, you got to pay for their travel,

368
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:25,680
Speaker 1: you got to pay for their food, all that, right,

369
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:29,159
Speaker 1: So it's yeah, twenty four hours a day. I know

370
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 1: he's making a lot of money and he could afford it,

371
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 1: but I'm still curious how much that costs. I would

372
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:37,359
Speaker 1: love to know how much he spends on privatey.

373
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,679
Speaker 4: No, I feel like if it were you or me,

374
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 4: we would try to find a way to just have

375
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 4: one goon and it would be like a family, like

376
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 4: a relative or something who's huge, and that way you

377
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 4: could get like the family discount, because otherwise, I mean,

378
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 4: even if you have a lot of money, You're right,

379
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 4: that adds up quickly.

380
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 1: Didn't Shaquille O'Neal have a relative as his bodyguard? I

381
00:20:57,520 --> 00:20:59,119
Speaker 1: remember when he was playing for the Lakers. There was

382
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 1: a buddy of his that was his his traveling companion.

383
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 1: I forget the guy's name, but I believe he was

384
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 1: a cousin or something of check.

385
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I think you're right about that. Shack is

386
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 4: smart with his money.

387
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, no, Shack. Listen, Shack made a ton, not

388
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 1: as much as Magic Johnson. But you can't turn on

389
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 1: a sporting event without seeing Shaq pouring himself out for

390
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:22,680
Speaker 1: some product. No, I'm sick and tired of your fire

391
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:28,480
Speaker 1: get out or multiple products. He's next level, so good

392
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 1: job by him. Oh. I wanted to also mention that

393
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:36,360
Speaker 1: does anyone have a a locksmith? This was rather odd.

394
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:40,040
Speaker 1: Weird thing happened this week the other night in the

395
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 1: FSR studio. So Eddie usually does not enter my domain.

396
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 1: I don't enter his domain. He's in the update studio.

397
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 1: But the other night he came wandering out of his

398
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 1: safe space, walked down the hall, around the corner, turned

399
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 1: the corner again, and attempted to enter the studio I

400
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 1: was in because he wanted to tell me something about

401
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:05,119
Speaker 1: the schedule. And that is when the thing of a

402
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:08,879
Speaker 1: jig stop work, or we thought it stopped working.

403
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 3: I've had this happen one time too.

404
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 1: Okay, so ed he tries to open the door and

405
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:19,639
Speaker 1: the door doesn't open. Yeah, the main studio.

406
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 3: I'm like, what's up?

407
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, that mechanism is janky. There's once or twice where

408
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:27,159
Speaker 4: the door we thought it was locked on Covino and

409
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 4: Rich Yeah.

410
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:30,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, So I was very concerned. I was like, well,

411
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 1: wait a minute, the door if it closes, I'll not

412
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 1: be able to get in the studio. I'll be I'll

413
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:37,879
Speaker 1: be locked out of the on air studio. So we

414
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 1: had put a sign up and it's a really messed

415
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 1: up And then the funniest part about it is like

416
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 1: we're freaking out. We're like, oh no, Iowa. Sam of

417
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,639
Speaker 1: course goes in full panic at the disco mode and

418
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:51,640
Speaker 1: he's like, Okay, I'm gonna email this person. I'm gonna

419
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:53,639
Speaker 1: call this person. We're gonna get this thing fixed. You know.

420
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:56,400
Speaker 1: We put a sign on the door, the whole thing,

421
00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:00,920
Speaker 1: and so Jonas comes strolling in out do we get done?

422
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 1: And again the way the works, we could open the

423
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:06,199
Speaker 1: door from the studio out, but you couldn't open the

424
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 1: door going in. It wouldn't open. It was locked, you know.

425
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:13,679
Speaker 4: Really quick, Ben Love iowa Sam to death. He's a

426
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:17,120
Speaker 4: great guy, but he has been known to have little

427
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:20,680
Speaker 4: meltdowns from time to time. I feel like he would

428
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 4: have been a great replacement for mister Furley through these companies.

429
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:29,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, you knows. He also has a little like Annie Z,

430
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:31,159
Speaker 1: which no one listening will know who that is, but

431
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,119
Speaker 1: our friend Annie who was a big boss at Fox,

432
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 1: and I love Annie to death, but I was Sam

433
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:40,920
Speaker 1: as a similar personality. I think in that reward, I'm

434
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 1: unwarning you guys anyway. The funniest thing. It was like

435
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 1: a slapstick comedy. So we're all freaking out, you know.

436
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:50,879
Speaker 1: Hoop's trying to open the door, he can't open it.

437
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:53,159
Speaker 1: Eddie's trying to open it, he can't open it. You know.

438
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:55,440
Speaker 1: Then I have them go in the studio. I try

439
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 1: to open the door. I can't get the damn thing open,

440
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,399
Speaker 1: like the thing of a jig's not working, you know.

441
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:00,919
Speaker 1: Oh crap.

442
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 3: So then after the show does it take to open

443
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 3: a door?

444
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:06,879
Speaker 1: I know, I know. So here's the funniest thing, right,

445
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:09,639
Speaker 1: So Jonahs shows up to do his show. I have

446
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 1: never heard of this cracker. I'm packing my stuff up,

447
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 1: the door's closed, and Jonas walks over, He twists the knob,

448
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:21,920
Speaker 1: walks right in like there's nothing like, there's nothing broken.

449
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 1: What the hell I said? You some kind of ninja.

450
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:30,720
Speaker 1: We spent the last two hours obsessing with this stupid

451
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:33,920
Speaker 1: fricking door and you walk right in like it's perfectly fine.

452
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 1: And he's like, oh, yeah, yeah, you just got to

453
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 1: like press in and pull down. It's like you're pressed in,

454
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:45,360
Speaker 1: like what we did that? So by analysis, yeah, it was,

455
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 1: it was. Don't you think Danny and I don't want

456
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:49,440
Speaker 1: to speak for management. They're very important people and I

457
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:51,359
Speaker 1: don't want to speak for them. But don't you think

458
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 1: you could fix the door? So it doesn't ever work

459
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 1: that way where it just stops opening for a stretch

460
00:24:57,600 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 1: of time and you have to have some kind of

461
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:02,200
Speaker 1: secret cod It's like opening a bank vault to get

462
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:05,119
Speaker 1: in the studio. Don't you think there's better ways to

463
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:08,959
Speaker 1: accomplish that. I'm just, I'm just, I'm just you know what,

464
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 1: do I know? Maybe that's they want to have a locksmith.

465
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:15,240
Speaker 1: Does anyone know a locksmith? And have them them come in?

466
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 1: We have the phrase of the week. Are you ready

467
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 1: for the phrase of the week? The phrase of the

468
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:26,439
Speaker 1: week our phrase of the week this week, it is

469
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:28,639
Speaker 1: something we got from the radio show. I mentioned this.

470
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 1: I was like, hey, I don't know where that came from.

471
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:33,919
Speaker 1: And then people are emailing me, well, why don't you

472
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:36,359
Speaker 1: make that the word of the week or whatever the

473
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 1: phrase of the week. I said, Okay, what you want,

474
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:42,880
Speaker 1: we will give you. So the term we're using this week,

475
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 1: the phrase of the week is we hours, the wee

476
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,399
Speaker 1: hours of the morning. Have you heard that one Danny

477
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:50,679
Speaker 1: before the wee hours of the morning. Oh, of course,

478
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:53,360
Speaker 1: of course everyone's heard that. So the term wee hours,

479
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 1: according to a minutes long mallor investigation, obviously, it means

480
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 1: the early hours of the morning and it is the

481
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 1: time period after midnight. The term we of course in English,

482
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:11,000
Speaker 1: it means very small or tiny, and these are the

483
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 1: hours between twelve am and the time when the sun rises,

484
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:16,240
Speaker 1: which is prime real estate. When you do an overnight

485
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 1: talk Trump and it's the beginning of the new day,

486
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:23,680
Speaker 1: it's called the wee hours. Now, the expression wee hours,

487
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 1: according to my research, is a Scottish expression racist and

488
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 1: it refers to the small number that are used to

489
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:37,439
Speaker 1: refer to them, the one, two, three o'clock as in

490
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 1: small hours one, two, and three. Wee hours is supposedly

491
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:45,920
Speaker 1: not that old. The term when you think about the

492
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:50,879
Speaker 1: history of time, it goes back to eighteen ninety one,

493
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 1: which is a long time ago, but you think about

494
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:57,400
Speaker 1: how long people have been around and all that. So

495
00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:00,239
Speaker 1: eighteen ninety one and then there was one reference to it.

496
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:03,120
Speaker 1: They think it might have originallyd but not gone into

497
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:08,719
Speaker 1: the lexicon in seventeen eighty seven, but it really became

498
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 1: mainstream in eighteen ninety one. I say mainstream. There was

499
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:14,919
Speaker 1: no Internet in eighteen ninety one, so it still was

500
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 1: word of mouth and newspapers and things like that. But

501
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:23,680
Speaker 1: we hours is the phrase of the week, those early

502
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:27,399
Speaker 1: morning hours between midnight and the time the sun rises.

503
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:32,159
Speaker 1: It is a Scottish expression, is what it is. We'll

504
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 1: get out on that, Dany I mentioned the TV show tonight.

505
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:36,520

506
