Speaker 1: Kabbooms.
Speaker 2: If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes
Speaker 2: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants
Speaker 2: of the Old Republic, a soul fashion of fairness. He
Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the
Speaker 2: rich pill poppers in the penthouse.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 2: The clearing House of Hot takes break free for something special.

Speaker 1: the Fifth Hour podcast that Danny Happy Friday to you.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Now, does your wife kind of look at you
Speaker 4: sideways when you're working on a vacation, Like my better

Speaker 4: She's like, oh, come on, we got to go to breakfast.
Speaker 4: We had breakfast plans.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, she well she she looks down upon it.
Speaker 1: But I say, listen, it's only a podcast, you know,

Speaker 1: to do this, yeah for you. But yeah, normally she's like,
Speaker 1: come on, yeah.
Speaker 4: In fact, we just need to go for five minutes
Speaker 4: to get credit for this podcast. We got three minutes
Speaker 4: left to record.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, well that's this podcast Zooming by Danny unless
Speaker 1: it's not. But but no, it's it's it's it's a compromise.
Speaker 1: As you know, relationships are all about compromise, and so
Speaker 1: that's what this is.
Speaker 4: Yes, and you compromise by going to a secret island.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well I don't maybe not an island. I don't know.
Speaker 1: You could you could argue every piece of land is
Speaker 1: kind of an island, right, You could argue that that
Speaker 1: it was all together and it floated away and if
Speaker 1: you believe the science community. So on this Friday podcast,
Speaker 1: here we have the new toy Ben Mahlor, You've got
Speaker 1: a horse, bleep show, America's favorite hobo, Medical Madness, and
Speaker 1: we'll have some other random things that pop up here
Speaker 1: on this Friday. But the beginning here, we start with
Speaker 1: our new toy yet again, if you ask for it,
Speaker 1: it will appear as we have a new device to
Speaker 1: play with our friend ohio Al, who is the unofficial unpaid,
Speaker 1: underappreciated imaging guy in many respects for this podcast. Al
Speaker 1: likes to futts around with audio content and he's very good.
Speaker 1: He's helped us out a lot. In fact, he's sent
Speaker 1: in we requested this a fun fact jingle, Danny, and
Speaker 1: tut up here it is. He said, this is a
Speaker 1: a little bit of a Beach Boys tribute, if you will,
Speaker 1: a parody of the Beach Boys. But this is the
Speaker 1: latest stylings. Let's I think we should test this out now, Danny,
Speaker 1: and get right to the fun facts to make sure
Speaker 1: it works, because otherwise, what's the point of doing it right?
Speaker 1: All right?
Speaker 4: So it's like you have a new toy, is what
Speaker 4: it is?
Speaker 1: What's wrong with it?
Speaker 2: Hit?
Speaker 1: Hit the button, Dad, hit the button.
Speaker 3: And all right, Oh that was Beach Boys esque.
Speaker 1: All right? Fun fact? Thank you, ohio, fun fact.
Speaker 4: Fun fact perfect for you because you're in a hidden
Speaker 4: location in the desert right now.
Speaker 1: That's how loud, amazing fun fact about the sloth, Danny.
Speaker 1: The sloth believed to be the only mammal that does
Speaker 1: not fart.
Speaker 4: That's so much better.
Speaker 1: That is your fun Is that not a great fun fact?
Speaker 4: Come on? Man?
Speaker 1: The slough why they don't fart. I don't know. Maybe
Speaker 1: that's some kind of genetic mistake or something like that.
Speaker 1: I don't know how you could be a mammal and
Speaker 1: not fart, but apparently that is the case. So they
Speaker 1: do not have to worry about flashulence. There's no rumbley
Speaker 1: tumbly when you're you're hanging out there and you're doing
Speaker 1: the sloth thing. They move so slowly that they don't
Speaker 1: have to worry about it. So that is my friend.
Speaker 1: You want to do another fun for hit again, Hit
Speaker 1: it again.
Speaker 5: And.
Speaker 1: All right, bonus fun fact all because of Ohio. The
Speaker 1: Wolsey Hall Auditorium that's in Yale, that's at Yale. That's
Speaker 1: a famous Ivy League institution. It has a extra extra
Speaker 1: extra jumbo size wide seat built to fit the famous
Speaker 1: alumnus and former President William Howard Taft. Another fun fact.
Speaker 1: That is my favorite president, William Howard Taft. I have
Speaker 1: talked about this every President's day, Danny, and you were
Speaker 1: with me for some of those President's days. I would
Speaker 1: always go into my rant about how much I love
Speaker 1: William Howard Taft and how important he is the great
Speaker 1: fat President. Now we've had other fat presidents. But William
Speaker 1: Howard Taft is my guy. That's about they had. He
Speaker 1: got stuck in the bathtub. The legendary story goes right
Speaker 1: back in the back in the day at the White House,
Speaker 1: and he had the last presidential car and the first
Speaker 1: or the last presidential cow and the first presidential car.
Speaker 4: So yeah, and a fun fact, Taft High School in
Speaker 4: Woodland Hills, California, just down the street from our studios.
Speaker 4: Both ice Cube and Easy were bust into that school
Speaker 4: to go to high school there.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You didn't hit the fun fact? Soundboy,
Speaker 1: you try that to.
Speaker 4: Get shoot one last fun fact?
Speaker 1: Hit the button? H come on out, give it to me.
Speaker 4: Al wait three times? It's too many on one show.
Speaker 1: All right, oh man, all right, Well moving on from that.
Speaker 1: Thanks to Ohio. I'll appreciate your generosity with your time,
Speaker 1: the most valuable thing that we have. So the flag
Speaker 1: is up?
Speaker 4: What is this?
Speaker 1: Before I left on my well deserved hiatus trip to
Speaker 1: Benny's bunker to unwind and reset the buttons do in
Speaker 1: the summer? I'm told I never used to take vacation.
Speaker 1: Then I got married. That's my wife you're talking about, man.
Speaker 1: I take vacation. But nonetheless, before I left into Benny's bunker,
Speaker 1: I made a rare and appropriate appearance on my friend
Speaker 1: Ted Sobeles Now Ted, you's briefly worked at Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1: I think he worked there for about two minutes, maybe
Speaker 1: maybe a minute and a half, not even two minutes.
Speaker 1: So Ted's been a longtime radio friend. I've known Ted
Speaker 1: since I was a teenager back in the day and
Speaker 1: I started in the business. He was a big news
Speaker 1: anchor at KFWB in Los Angeles, was a legendary figure
Speaker 1: in LA radio.
Speaker 4: Ted so boys, he was on that expansion LA Sports
Speaker 4: station that came along like ten years ago.
Speaker 1: Remember oh the Beast throwing over the road. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: So I've known Ted a long time. We go way back,
Speaker 1: and so Ted asked you to do something, you gotta
Speaker 1: do it. Ted's retired now I don't think he wants
Speaker 1: to be retired. Well, he's semi retired. He does this
Speaker 1: podcast stuff. So Ted reaches out to me. He says,
Speaker 1: I'm doing this tribute show for this guy, Jim Healy,
Speaker 1: and I'd love to have you pop on there if
Speaker 1: you could, that would be great. It was the thirtieth
Speaker 1: anniversary of Jim's passing this month. Now, my friend Ted
Speaker 1: worked with Jim Heely in local Los Angeles radio at
Speaker 1: the old k MPC seven to ten KMPC back when
Speaker 1: that was the thing. Anyway, So get to the point, please.
Speaker 1: So Ted had the son of Jim Heely, Patrick Heely
Speaker 1: as a guest. Now, Patrick a longtime news reporter at
Speaker 1: KNBC in Los Angeles. He just retired about a I
Speaker 1: think a year ago, maybe not even a year ago.
Speaker 1: So he was a news anchor and covered all the
Speaker 1: big stories in La ojay, you name it over the years.
Speaker 1: And so this was a retrospective on the career of
Speaker 1: the man that has a star on the Wally Hollywood
Speaker 1: Walk of Fame, Jim Heely. And I made an appearance
Speaker 1: on the show Who Goofed? I've got to know now
Speaker 1: the reason I was on there is because I am
Speaker 1: part of the Jim Heely radio tree. And me explain. So,
Speaker 1: when I was a kid, my mom I told this
Speaker 1: story on my appearance there. But when I was a kid,
Speaker 1: I would tag along with my mom and she worked
Speaker 1: at a mailing she ran her own mailing this and
Speaker 1: she'd go to like post offices and deliveries or whatever
Speaker 1: in the afternoon, and she'd like bulk mail, so I
Speaker 1: would go with her after school and then she would
Speaker 1: throw me a bone. At five thirty we'd be stuck
Speaker 1: in traffic and that's when the Jim Healy Show would
Speaker 1: come on. And it was one of my early influences
Speaker 1: into radio, and I was a huge fan. He was
Speaker 1: really ahead of his time. He played all these drops
Speaker 1: and different silly sound bites. It's the guy that gave
Speaker 1: us the Tommy Lesorda rant and many rants by Tommy.
Speaker 1: It was just one rand. If people know that Dave
Speaker 1: Kingman over the years, that's I don't know people still
Speaker 1: know it. But Dave, it's your opinion of Kingman's performance.
Speaker 1: I'm stopped, I lose a game, and you asked me
Speaker 1: my opinion of this performance. And then he went on
Speaker 1: a rant like that which was which was wonderful, and
Speaker 1: rants about al Campanis. Blame him. My fault campaign was
Speaker 1: the GM of the Dodgers. In my fault, Campanis is
Speaker 1: the blankety blank guy. My favorite, though, was the Bovoqua
Speaker 1: from Lasorda, where he said, uh, Bavaqua called him a
Speaker 1: fat little Italian or something like that, and then they
Speaker 1: went to Thesorda and Lasorda responded, Bavoqua, he could hit water,
Speaker 1: we fell out of anf and boat. Oh so good,
Speaker 1: such a great rant anyway, so heally gave us all
Speaker 1: these things. Also the first place I heard the greatest
Speaker 1: rant of all time, the Lee Ilia rant, and I
Speaker 1: was lucky enough to meet Les Grobstein before he passed away,
Speaker 1: the guy that recorded that Lee Elia, the cup manager
Speaker 1: who went on that famous rant about the cub fans.
Speaker 1: Eighty five percent of the world's work, the other fifteen
Speaker 1: percent come out here. It's a playground for the blank
Speaker 1: blanks working the other fifteen come out here playground.
Speaker 4: It was just so good.
Speaker 1: Uh so so it was cool. I got to pop
Speaker 1: on there and hear some stories that I had not
Speaker 1: heard before by people that knew Jim and very entertaining broadcaster.
Speaker 1: One of the one of the neat things I got.
Speaker 1: I've had a lot of great things sent by listeners
Speaker 1: over the years, not including the goat heead that Doc
Speaker 1: Mike had sent my way many many years ago. But
Speaker 1: when I first got into radio, I had talked about
Speaker 1: Jim Healy and a listener this was doing local LA Radio,
Speaker 1: a listener dropped off to the station in this box.
Speaker 1: A piece of it was like a plate. I looked
Speaker 1: like a plate to me, Oh oh, it's a plate,
Speaker 1: and I looked. I opened it up and I grabbed
Speaker 1: it as it was actually an ashtray and it was
Speaker 1: a Jim Healey ashtray from his show.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he gave them away as promotional items.
Speaker 1: I think that the radio station gave them away and
Speaker 1: I have I've saved this thing. It's actually one of
Speaker 1: the more prized items that I have of my knickknacks
Speaker 1: that will all go into a landfill when I'm dead,
Speaker 1: but I yeah, I have this thing. It's pretty it's
Speaker 1: pretty close. All those little sayings on it all and
Speaker 1: I say sayings Danny. It's all the things from the
Speaker 1: from the show, like the drops, the flag is up,
Speaker 1: and all these different things.
Speaker 4: If you had an ashtray, it would be like my
Speaker 4: right hand's getting a workout. I'm a doctor.
Speaker 1: My right hand was getting a workout. Uh, I don't
Speaker 1: know about that. I don't know about that. But anyway,
Speaker 1: so that was that was so that that line the
Speaker 1: flag is up and you've got a horse bleep show,
Speaker 1: and that's all those are all drops of the Jim
Speaker 1: Healy Show. So and it's fun all right. Now, moving
Speaker 1: on from that, we have a update on America's favorite
Speaker 1: hobo as yet again, the malord militia circling the wagons,
Speaker 1: saving trying to save weed Man Hippie. To say this
Speaker 1: is a well oiled machine would be a lie, an
Speaker 1: absolute lie. But for the second time in the many
Speaker 1: years that we have done the radio show, we have
Speaker 1: had a call for help from weed Man. He got
Speaker 1: evicted from his home.
Speaker 4: I you been made in a wheelchair.
Speaker 1: Excidst me weed He spent much of the last few
Speaker 1: months in jail, in and out of jail, living on
Speaker 1: Lincoln Road. Now weed Man calls the show from Miami.
Speaker 1: He's the laugh track to lame jokes. He's the grand
Speaker 1: pooh Bah of lame jokes of the week. And he
Speaker 1: got evicted because he didn't clean up after himself. And
Speaker 1: I guess he didn't fill out some paperwork. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know all the details. But he got kicked
Speaker 1: out of his place, and he had free government housing
Speaker 1: in Miami, so he got kicked out of that and
Speaker 1: he hasn't been able to get a place to stay
Speaker 1: and so the Matlin Militia on the fourth of July weekend,
Speaker 1: they called up. He called up. He called up, and
Speaker 1: I thought we were just going to bust balls and
Speaker 1: all that, and he's like, I need a place to stay,
Speaker 1: you know that whole thing. So that's like whatever I
Speaker 1: gave out the number. I thought I'd be polite. I said, Okay,
Speaker 1: if somebody wants to reach out and help weed Man,
Speaker 1: here's my EMI contact me, not thinking anyone was going
Speaker 1: to contact me. Why would anyone contact me? But turns
Speaker 1: out that there are some good souls out there, some
Speaker 1: people that wanted to help out, that appreciate the comedic
Speaker 1: value of weed Man and know what a character is
Speaker 1: on the show, and they want to keep him out
Speaker 1: of jail and keep him alive and all that. And
Speaker 1: so I had multiple people. I was shocked. I had
Speaker 1: multiple people that reached out, including several prominent p ones
Speaker 1: who reached out to me to try to help weed Man,
Speaker 1: whether it give him advice on how to get more
Speaker 1: free stuff from the government, whether it be donation like
Speaker 1: a GoFundMe starting for him, which I don't know if
Speaker 1: that's a good idea. And we even had offer of lodging,
Speaker 1: which was wonderful. And so some of the people that
Speaker 1: reached out, and I'm not going to say the names
Speaker 1: of everyone, but we had Joey the Bellman, who's a
Speaker 1: key p one member of the show. Doesn't call that often,
Speaker 1: but it sends the messages into the show. Joey the Bellman,
Speaker 1: a blind Scott from Boston, reached out Kathy in Madison.
Speaker 1: And so what I did is I tried to get
Speaker 1: a hold of weed Man. Of course, his phone did
Speaker 1: not work. He changed his number again, so I don't
Speaker 1: have his number. But if you heard the final show
Speaker 1: this week before I left for my well deserved hiatus,
Speaker 1: he did call in. So I was able to give
Speaker 1: weed Man the information. I said, listen, these people want
Speaker 1: to help you out. Don't don't f this up. Don't
Speaker 1: screw this up, Okay, because last time I think you
Speaker 1: were with me, Danny, when this happened.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he wanted to do a fundraiser. Remember, he wanted
Speaker 4: to rent that hall and do like a comedy slash
Speaker 4: tap dance.
Speaker 1: Show, one man show in Vegas. And he wanted to
Speaker 1: rent out a hall in Vegas and Benny, it was
Speaker 1: a weed Man and me, I would be the sidekick.
Speaker 1: And if I remember correctly, Danny, he wanted to charge
Speaker 1: five hundred dollars a ticket.
Speaker 4: To see him, with some ridiculous price that he wanted
Speaker 4: to checks.
Speaker 1: And I said, no, one's going to pay for that.
Speaker 1: Save your money, any right.
Speaker 4: I told him let all the listeners in for free
Speaker 4: and then make money off of, you know, merchandise.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he wanted no part of that. He wanted no
Speaker 1: part of that, and so he got upset and then
Speaker 1: he was down on his luck and a listener who
Speaker 1: was leaving Miami had a lease for a few more months,
Speaker 1: said hey, weed Man, you can stay at this place
Speaker 1: and hang out or whatever, and we men moved in
Speaker 1: with a listener. Do you remember what happened after that, Danny?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it did not go well. So we weed Man
Speaker 1: accused me of having him kidnapped because I guess there
Speaker 1: was some kind of disagreement between he and the guy
Speaker 1: that invited him to stay at the house Shock and somehow,
Speaker 1: I don't know exactly what happened. I think the cops
Speaker 1: may have been involved, as I remember. Maybe I'm wrong
Speaker 1: on that, but either way, weed Man was convinced that
Speaker 1: I had him kidnapped and it was all an evil
Speaker 1: scheme by me. He has promised me, Danny, that he
Speaker 1: will not he will not say that again, that this
Speaker 1: is a one time thing, and he's not going to
Speaker 1: say that again.
Speaker 4: Clearly a man of his word.
Speaker 1: He would never let me down. He would never ever
Speaker 1: let me down at all. But thank you to Joey, Scott,
Speaker 1: Kathy all the others that reached out with advice. Some
Speaker 1: people sent numbers in Miami to call to get free crap.
Speaker 1: I didn't know there's a whole network of free crap
Speaker 1: you can get. Hopefully I don't need to use that,
Speaker 1: but someday maybe I will. But there's a lot of
Speaker 1: services that you can get that will provide you food
Speaker 1: and we man has a phone. He is on Obama phone.
Speaker 1: Some people get triggered when I say that, but that's
Speaker 1: they call it. Yeah, the colloquial term is an Obama
Speaker 1: phone because before President Obama that didn't exist. But they
Speaker 1: give smartphones to poor people and people now under luck.
Speaker 4: It's my favorite thing about the mal or militia, besides
Speaker 4: the entertaining phone calls, big big hearts. Everybody raised money
Speaker 4: for Genie and Medford. Of course, too sure. Not only
Speaker 4: have her been married properly, but for her bench that
Speaker 4: is right there next to a homeless camp in southern California.
Speaker 1: I got to tell you that I think it's more
Speaker 1: important when you die to have a bench dedicated to you.
Speaker 1: I agree, because more people sit on that bench and
Speaker 1: who's on and piss on it and ship on it
Speaker 1: and all that, but more people are around it. Then
Speaker 1: how many people go to cemeteries. You go there when
Speaker 1: somebody dies, and then when you're dead, you go there,
Speaker 1: But you don't go and visit on the weekends. But
Speaker 1: you go to a park on the weekends.
Speaker 4: Right, maybe maybe not that park, but well, in the daytime,
Speaker 4: I guess.
Speaker 1: No, they cleaned it up. Yeah they did clean it up.
Speaker 1: Yeah they got They had an overnight raid and evicted
Speaker 1: all of the people that had decided to move in,
Speaker 1: all the screwballs that had moved in there. And yeah,
Speaker 1: so it's it's pretty nice. I was actually there a
Speaker 1: couple months ago and it wasn't bad. I was shocked.
Speaker 1: Speaking of the niceness, Danny, we have a medical madness update.
Speaker 1: So disappointing, disappointing story. You might have heard this if
Speaker 1: you listened to the Live Original Recipe radio show this week.
Speaker 1: So Skeeter in Montana calls up and he's like, I
Speaker 1: got a medical update. So I'm like, all right, I'm
Speaker 1: sure this is probably good news. You wouldn't call what
Speaker 1: bad news? That was bad news. So Skeeter told me
Speaker 1: he has stage four lung cancer. And he says that
Speaker 1: this originated he was in the military for years. He's
Speaker 1: an old gentleman now older man in the military. For
Speaker 1: years he was cleaning out the big ships in the Navy,
Speaker 1: and they were using as bestis in the ships and
Speaker 1: there's no windows on a ship, and you can imagine
Speaker 1: what that was like. But he seemed very positive. He
Speaker 1: says he's going to get on some special medication. From
Speaker 1: what he said, the way I interpreted it, it is
Speaker 1: designed for this type of cancer. That's him his bestest.
Speaker 1: So he seemed genuinely optimistic about it. And Skeeter I
Speaker 1: wanted to explain because some people were upset, like what
Speaker 1: did you take that call? Who cares? You know? That
Speaker 1: should be off the air. I'm like, well, Skeeter is
Speaker 1: a radio friend. And one of the things about being
Speaker 1: on the radio late at night is it it means
Speaker 1: a little more to people than it does during the day,
Speaker 1: because people have jobs and they're running around during A lot
Speaker 1: of people listen alone. Not that people don't have jobs,
Speaker 1: but a lot of people are lonely. They don't have family,
Speaker 1: and Skeeter would be in that category. He's an older gentleman.
Speaker 1: Family's not in the picture, friends are not around, and
Speaker 1: he's got people that take care of him. So he
Speaker 1: likes the show. He finds entertainment in the show, and
Speaker 1: so we're like his extended family. And Skeeter's the reason
Speaker 1: that we have the Mallard Militia oath. He called up
Speaker 1: and he said, what's this Malard militia? I want to
Speaker 1: be part of the Mallard militia. So he said, all right, look,
Speaker 1: I'll go on the internet. I'll find an oath, and
Speaker 1: I hijacked the military oath, moved some words around and
Speaker 1: shut up. That was the Malor militia. Oh, but that's
Speaker 1: because of Skeeter, because he wanted to join the militia.
Speaker 1: So we we would advise you, if you're religious, please
Speaker 1: say a prayer. If you're not religious, just send good
Speaker 1: thoughts out to our friend Skeeter in Montana and hopefully
Speaker 1: everything will work out for him. But he seems like
Speaker 1: he has a good attitude about it. So that's that's good,
Speaker 1: and we'll get out on this, Danny. We have the
Speaker 1: phrase of the week, the phrase of the week. Here's
Speaker 1: the phrase of the week, and this is in honor
Speaker 1: of your guy, your favorite Laker, Bronnie James. Bronny Bronnie Brodny.
Speaker 4: Yes you didn't say Kobe Bryant.
Speaker 1: Oh no, Bronnie. Are you getting a Bronnie James tattoo?
Speaker 1: That's the rumor in the building. You will get a
Speaker 1: Bronnie James tattoo.
Speaker 4: Tell you what if he can average six points a
Speaker 4: game in his rookie season, I would get a Bronnie
Speaker 4: tatt All right.
Speaker 1: That's on the record. Now, what if he plays like
Speaker 1: four games and averages Yeah, you've already said it.
Speaker 4: I said, he said it. It's called sarcasm, your big dope.
Speaker 4: He's not even a scorer. He's like a role player.
Speaker 4: He plays defense.
Speaker 1: But but if he plays four games in his rookie
Speaker 1: season and averages the game, well, that would be his
Speaker 1: rookie season.
Speaker 4: Okay, but we don't count stats as a season unless
Speaker 4: they played a bulk of the season.
Speaker 1: Okay, well listen, he's the he's lit. I call him
Speaker 1: the NEPO or.
Speaker 4: Thet You are so obsessed with the Lakers, you are
Speaker 4: the biggest closet Laker fan on the planet.
Speaker 1: Well this has been great for me and Rob Parker.
Speaker 4: Promo that I hear your voice on on the network.
Speaker 4: Well why do you think talking about the Lakers because
Speaker 4: you love them?
Speaker 1: So that's a lie. The only reason that because Cooper,
Speaker 1: who puts those promos, I don't put the promos in.
Speaker 1: I have no control over the promo.
Speaker 4: Those two guys that do production scan through your show,
Speaker 4: no find highlights and in the system.
Speaker 1: All right, that's a fair point. All right, that's a
Speaker 1: fair point. By speaking of that week, before I get
Speaker 1: to the phrase of the week here, there was a
Speaker 1: discussion on the air. Yet again, I'm still getting email
Speaker 1: from people the podcast airing the winter version of the
Speaker 1: tire rack commercial. So I asked Coop on the air.
Speaker 1: I said, Coop, you know this thing's still airing, and
Speaker 1: he says, I have no control over that. I don't
Speaker 1: And so everyone I I brought this up to.
Speaker 4: You're talking that there's somebody you can send an email
Speaker 4: to though if you work all right.
Speaker 1: But but here's my point. It's like everyone I've talked
Speaker 1: to about I'm talking about your production stuff. No, no,
Speaker 1: I know, but I'm but I'm saying like, it's uh.
Speaker 1: Every time I bring this up, it's like there's a
Speaker 1: it's the corporate bureaucracy. People point somebody out on my fault.
Speaker 1: It's like, I have no idea this has been going on.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be almost winter again, so it's almost going
Speaker 1: to be fine because if people just hear the commercial
Speaker 1: and then but they'll be a different winter commercial, right,
Speaker 1: there'll be a different version of the commercial next year
Speaker 1: or next to this coming winter.
Speaker 4: Yeah, just let me keep playing until we actually get
Speaker 4: to winter.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I say, for half a year, it'll be fine.
Speaker 1: It'll be perfectly all right. But the phrase of the
Speaker 1: week is nepo a baby or nepotism. Now the nepos
