I'm not complaining. 112 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:03,920 Speaker 1: It sounds like I'm going. 113 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:08,479 Speaker 3: Yeah, there were a lot of November layoffs, unfortunately in 114 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:12,160 Speaker 3: our business, and it posed the question I saw on Facebook. 115 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,360 Speaker 3: Somebody asked because they work for one of the major 116 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 3: broadcast companies, and they said, would you rather be laid 117 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 3: off before Christmas or after Christmas. 118 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:23,920 Speaker 1: I've actually thought about this because I got laid off 119 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 1: after Christmas. I got laid off on January twentieth of nine, 120 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,920 Speaker 1: was when I met my maker in radio the last time. 121 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,160 Speaker 1: The last time I met my maker, which is has 122 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 1: been fifteen years almost. But I've determined after a minutes 123 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,359 Speaker 1: long mallor investigation, Danny, there is no good time to 124 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 1: get let go. No, no, there's no I mean, whether 125 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 1: it's before Christmas or after Christmas. If you love your 126 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 1: job and you think you're doing a good job and 127 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:52,840 Speaker 1: you're helping the company out and you're earning your money, 128 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,839 Speaker 1: there is no good time to be like, oh, and 129 00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:58,600 Speaker 1: I you know, it was a weird week because, as 130 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 1: you said, a lot of people in our industry lost 131 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 1: their job this week. And I sleep during the day 132 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 1: as you know, you know, you work the shift, and 133 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 1: so I wake up too, and I thought, you know, 134 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 1: did somebody in my family die or something like that. 135 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 1: It was my phone was just filled with with text 136 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 1: messages from from my friends in radio, like hey, did 137 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 1: you hear this guy lost their job? Or that you 138 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 1: know that woman over there he's gone, And so it was, uh, 139 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 1: is not what you want to wake up to. But 140 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 1: it's nobody died. As far as I know, nobody died. 141 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 1: They let's you know, work somewhere else, or we get 142 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:32,880 Speaker 1: podcast jobs, which is normally what happens right when you 143 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 1: leave radio, you just move into the podcast space, and 144 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:38,600 Speaker 1: that's kind of what you do. But we're doing both, right. 145 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 1: We got the podcast and the radio, so we've got 146 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 1: the best of both worlds right here. Yeah, So when 147 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 1: we get whacked. They'll say, but you're still going to 148 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:49,800 Speaker 1: be on your podcast. Yeah, I say, all right, Well, 149 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 1: as long as you're paying the full amount, I will 150 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:57,400 Speaker 1: be more than happy to the podcast. No, no questions asked, 151 00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:02,240 Speaker 1: no questions asked. So this past week, you know, we're 152 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 1: hanging out.

She's got two little 166 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 1: kids who even though we're cousins, the little kids call 167 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:49,439 Speaker 1: me Uncle Benny, which is I get a kick out 168 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:53,000 Speaker 1: I'm uncle Benny, even though I'm not not their uncle, 169 00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:55,600 Speaker 1: but when you're a little kid, everyone is older is 170 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 1: like an uncle. So we were going to go play 171 00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,840 Speaker 1: miniature golf and we had a very very rare and 172 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:05,040 Speaker 1: inappropriate spat of rain. It wasn't really rain, it was 173 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 1: more like it was like a drizzle type situation. You know. 174 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:11,839 Speaker 1: It wasn't much, but it was enough where of course 175 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,120 Speaker 1: the people didn't want to go miniature golfing because that's 176 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:17,720 Speaker 1: outside and God forbid you standing in a little moisture. 177 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 1: And so we decided to change it up and we 178 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:25,559 Speaker 1: went to the place right next door to the fund Zone, 179 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:29,760 Speaker 1: which was a bowling alley. I have not been bowling 180 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:34,679 Speaker 1: in at least ten years, and it was on. It 181 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:38,200 Speaker 1: was on Benny the bowler returned and I used to 182 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:41,080 Speaker 1: love bowling back in the desk. Number one participation sport 183 00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:43,959 Speaker 1: in America, and I had not been in a bowling alley, 184 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:47,200 Speaker 1: Danny you forever. And I walked into place was packed 185 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,720 Speaker 1: people having a great time drinking beer and you know, 186 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:56,080 Speaker 1: eating nachos and just wonderful, great energy in the bowling alley, 187 00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 1: and it's like, this is the perfect sport. You sit 188 00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,280 Speaker 1: around most of the time. You eat, you drink, and 189 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:02,720 Speaker 1: then every once in a while you go and your 190 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:04,760 Speaker 1: fut's around with the ball and you and you roll 191 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:07,679 Speaker 1: the ball down. But it was so embarrassing. So I 192 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,920 Speaker 1: had my my my sister in law was there, my cousin, 193 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:14,320 Speaker 1: and all the little kids that are in my circle, right, 194 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 1: all the little kids and talking like from age like 195 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:23,760 Speaker 1: four or five to like nine tennish in that area. 196 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,200 Speaker 1: There's a bunch of kids. Actually there's one a couple 197 00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,640 Speaker 1: of years older, like twelve or thirteen. 198 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:29,040 Speaker 3: Orders. 199 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:32,520 Speaker 1: So we're all there and I come out, you know, 200 00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:35,200 Speaker 1: I'm mister sports guy. You know, I'm you know, a 201 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 1: sports radio guy, and I grab that bowling ball and 202 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:43,560 Speaker 1: I go down there and right in the gutter. Uh 203 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:45,160 Speaker 1: and uh So then I get, you know, the ball 204 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,160 Speaker 1: comes back and I'm I go and right in the 205 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 1: gutter again, and the kids are mocking me. The kids 206 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 1: are like, oh yeah, what happened? You know, everyone's mocking me. 207 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:57,439 Speaker 1: Uh and so. But eventually it was about halfway through 208 00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:02,480 Speaker 1: the round that I figured out I remembered just muscle memory, Danny, 209 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:04,840 Speaker 1: it's muscle memory with this, like you I didn't bold 210 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,400 Speaker 1: and so long it was a disaster at first. It 211 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:08,239 Speaker 1: was so embarrassing. 212 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 3: I thought I was going to ask you at first, 213 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 3: because that's a really bad game to be cold with, 214 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,560 Speaker 3: to have not practiced in a long time. 215 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:19,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, it was embarrassing. And it was even more embarrassing when, 216 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 1: like the little kids now, they did cheat. They use 217 00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:25,160 Speaker 1: they had the bumpers, which I'm not gonna do. I'm 218 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 1: not gonna lie to you. At one point it was 219 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:28,760 Speaker 1: so bad, they the people I was with, mocked me 220 00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 1: and turned on the bumper. They turned on the little 221 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:33,840 Speaker 1: bumpers so the ball wouldn't go in the gutter. I 222 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:37,640 Speaker 1: am such a radio loser. Yeah. The kids were actually 223 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:39,240 Speaker 1: doing better than I was, and they were like kind 224 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 1: of giving me the side eye. What's wrong with you? 225 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,679 Speaker 1: You know, you're old, You're an old, old loser, and 226 00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:47,400 Speaker 1: uh you know, look at us, you know we're little kids, 227 00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:51,600 Speaker 1: and uh so it was so funny. I love I 228 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:56,520 Speaker 1: love the little ones, little munchkins, because you know, I'm 229 00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:59,560 Speaker 1: sitting with the adults and you know they're boring, So 230 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:04,120 Speaker 1: I go hang out with the kiddos. Right, and my 231 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:08,440 Speaker 1: my niece, she says, you're not allowed to be over here. Uncle, Benny, 232 00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:12,079 Speaker 1: you're old, you know you gotta go hang up. So 233 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:15,200 Speaker 1: she kicked me out, and I'm like, crap. So I 234 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,200 Speaker 1: had to do the walk across to the other side. 235 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,040 Speaker 1: And but it was it was a lot of fun. 236 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 1: I had a great time. And I plan on. I 237 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 1: guess I'm I'm really getting old now, Danny. I plan 238 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:28,680 Speaker 1: on bowling semi regularly. That's that's the goal. It's not 239 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:33,400 Speaker 1: that expensive. It's fun. And it's not that you get 240 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:36,520 Speaker 1: any exercise, because you don't. There's no exercise. You just 241 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:39,319 Speaker 1: take a couple of steps and fling the ball. But 242 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:42,200 Speaker 1: it's it's great. And maybe I'll just like buy a 243 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:44,240 Speaker 1: bowling shirt. That's like the next thing after you get 244 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:45,840 Speaker 1: into bowling. You have to have like a bowling shirt 245 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:47,760 Speaker 1: and buy your own bowling shoes and all that and 246 00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:48,480 Speaker 1: that how that works. 247 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 3: I think, Wow, I just pictured you as Uncle Buck 248 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 3: pretty much. 249 00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,760 Speaker 1: I'm head in that direction at this point in my life. 250 00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:58,720 Speaker 1: I am absolutely hitting that direction. So I I had 251 00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:02,200 Speaker 1: a great time. It's now my concern. I was saying 252 00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 1: about this as I was I was coming into the 253 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 1: studio the other night. When I when I went in, 254 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,320 Speaker 1: I was thinking about my weekend you know. And I 255 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,120 Speaker 1: was trying to process what I wanted to share with 256 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:14,640 Speaker 1: you the listener here on the podcast, and and I'm thinking, like, 257 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:17,720 Speaker 1: is that just because I hadn't been bowling a long 258 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,839 Speaker 1: time that I liked the bowling, you know what I mean? 259 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,080 Speaker 1: Or is it do I did I genuinely like the bowling? 260 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 1: Or was it just a product of the fact that 261 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:29,600 Speaker 1: I hadn't done it? So it was kind of different, 262 00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:30,760 Speaker 1: you know what I mean? 263 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 3: One of those things, Now, are you better at ax 264 00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:35,480 Speaker 3: throwing or bowling? 265 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,240 Speaker 1: How dare you listen? That was? That was bull crap 266 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:43,640 Speaker 1: video that you saw of the act throwing and the 267 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,840 Speaker 1: real ones that were there that they did not try 268 00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,600 Speaker 1: to sabotage me. No, that by the end of that 269 00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,880 Speaker 1: night at the Mermaid, I was pretty good. I was 270 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:55,000 Speaker 1: pretty good at throwing axes. And I'm like a Paul 271 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:58,880 Speaker 1: Bunyan type axe thrower at this particular point, I am. 272 00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:00,640 Speaker 1: And if that ever, you know, I don't know what's 273 00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:02,719 Speaker 1: gonna happen today, Dan, we're here in Kansas City for 274 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:04,920 Speaker 1: the Mala meat greed.

Wrong, third Rail, my man. So you were 288 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:44,600 Speaker 3: on the air when Trump gave his speech, right. 289 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,680 Speaker 1: Yes, yes, we were on the air. Now. I didn't 290 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:52,120 Speaker 1: really bring it up, but we were on when he 291 00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:55,280 Speaker 1: announced that he was going to return to the White House. 292 00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:56,040 Speaker 1: He's coming back. 293 00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:58,680 Speaker 3: I was live on the radio with you the first 294 00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:00,960 Speaker 3: time Trump was elected. Do you remember that, and we 295 00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:02,920 Speaker 3: simulcasted his speech. 296 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:07,280 Speaker 1: I vaguely remember that. I just remember from that time 297 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 1: the craziness of people freaking out that they never thought 298 00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,560 Speaker 1: he would win the first time, and it was kind 299 00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:21,280 Speaker 1: of similar. I felt like this time then, politics, my man, 300 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:22,240 Speaker 1: Third Rail, my man. 301 00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:26,960 Speaker 3: But yeah, well, you know, some people were scared that 302 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:30,440 Speaker 3: there would be problems out there on these streets, and 303 00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:32,280 Speaker 3: I think all of us were like, hey, we can 304 00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:36,240 Speaker 3: be adults here. If your candidate didn't win, hopefully you 305 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:38,560 Speaker 3: could act like an adult, not go out and burn 306 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:40,720 Speaker 3: a bus and push a car over with some help 307 00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:46,640 Speaker 3: from friends, riot, loot and pollute. I'm not panicked, but 308 00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:50,400 Speaker 3: I was confused because the morning after, I'm scrolling through 309 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:53,640 Speaker 3: the news on my phone and I'm reading different articles 310 00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:57,400 Speaker 3: about the numbers and how everything happened late. 311 00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:02,560 Speaker 1: At night, and I smelled smoke outside. Jerk yourself away, what. 312 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:05,680 Speaker 3: Is going on? So I open up my patio door. 313 00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:10,240 Speaker 3: It smelled like the mountain next to us was on fire. Well, 314 00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:13,000 Speaker 3: now you just can't leave crap. I go to the 315 00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:16,920 Speaker 3: Ventura County Star online, and sure enough, there is a 316 00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:19,480 Speaker 3: huge mountain fire. That's even what they're calling it, the 317 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:23,560 Speaker 3: mountain fire. But turns out, I don't think this has 318 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:27,640 Speaker 3: anything to do with what happened in politics. Huge fire though, 319 00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:31,720 Speaker 3: ben And in fact, early on this Saturday morning, I'm 320 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:35,160 Speaker 3: inside a taco bell in my area that's open early 321 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:41,240 Speaker 3: for breakfast. Last weekend, I'm at some nice hotel in 322 00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:44,920 Speaker 3: Seattle doing this podcast with you, right, yeah, yeah, not 323 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:46,800 Speaker 3: so much this week. It's kind of our life in 324 00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:49,400 Speaker 3: radio one week or five Star in the next week. 325 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:50,080 Speaker 3: We're PBJ. 326 00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:53,600 Speaker 1: Yeah. You know, this reminds me when I was doing 327 00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:56,200 Speaker 1: local radio. They sent us to the World Series. We're 328 00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:58,800 Speaker 1: in Cleveland, me and the great Jeff Biggs. So I've 329 00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:01,440 Speaker 1: had on a podcast and we didn't make it to 330 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:04,160 Speaker 1: the broadcast location. So this is so long ago, Dan, 331 00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:09,800 Speaker 1: you'll appreciate this. We broadcast from this like skid Row Hotel. 332 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:13,960 Speaker 1: There were two payphones next to each other, and we 333 00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:16,640 Speaker 1: called up on we were each on a different payphone. 334 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:21,520 Speaker 1: We called up and did our show from payphones in Cleveland. 335 00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:25,080 Speaker 1: And it was October, it was cold, it was fall, 336 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:28,120 Speaker 1: you know that that old thing. And uh yeah, I mean, well, 337 00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:30,320 Speaker 1: that's the great thing about audio content, right, you have 338 00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:32,239 Speaker 1: to the show must go on. You have to do 339 00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:34,320 Speaker 1: the show. We have to do the show, and so 340 00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:37,399 Speaker 1: you have gone above and beyond the call of duty. 341 00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:42,240 Speaker 3: These winds have been whipping around so crazy. Our power 342 00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:45,720 Speaker 3: has been off here and there, and internet definitely is 343 00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:49,160 Speaker 3: a problem. In fact, the Starbucks they've been closed two 344 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:52,280 Speaker 3: days in a row with a handwritten sign that says 345 00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:54,640 Speaker 3: closed because of fires. 346 00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:56,160 Speaker 1: Wonderful. Wonderful. 347 00:17:56,280 --> 00:18:00,119 Speaker 3: Yeah, real professional sign on their front door. So y, 348 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:03,680 Speaker 3: so I'm broadcasting bright and early from this taco bell 349 00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:06,920 Speaker 3: about to get me a scrambled egg burrito here. Ben, 350 00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:09,960 Speaker 3: you know, the podcast goes on no matter what happens. 351 00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:14,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, the show must go on. The show must go on. 352 00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:18,720 Speaker 1: And with that, Danny, I present to you one of 353 00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:22,840 Speaker 1: the great quotes of our time. Marie Antoinette must be proud, 354 00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:26,520 Speaker 1: the famous quote she supposedly said when she heard that 355 00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:30,760 Speaker 1: the commoners had no bread, she said, famously, let them 356 00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:34,160 Speaker 1: eat cake. And I feel like that's what the listeners 357 00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:38,120 Speaker 1: of the Overnight Show have said to me. Let them 358 00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:40,760 Speaker 1: eat cake on the Ben Malor Show. So we ate 359 00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:41,320 Speaker 1: very well. 360 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:41,520 Speaker 2: Now. 361 00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:44,040 Speaker 1: We have had a problem getting our mail. It has 362 00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:46,400 Speaker 1: been well documented. I don't know where the mail goes 363 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,719 Speaker 1: when you send it to Fox Sports Radio. We have 364 00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:51,760 Speaker 1: a mail room, but oftentimes we never actually get the 365 00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:53,440 Speaker 1: mail in the mail room. I don't know. It must 366 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:56,639 Speaker 1: be like a second hidden mail room. So people have 367 00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:58,920 Speaker 1: been saying, hey, we sent you some stuff and then 368 00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:01,120 Speaker 1: we never got it, and we were kind of annoyed 369 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:03,000 Speaker 1: by that, and we're like, oh, what is that all about? 370 00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:07,560 Speaker 1: And all of a sudden, I think it was Monday 371 00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:12,119 Speaker 1: or Tuesday. This week we got the mother load of 372 00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:16,680 Speaker 1: mail and we did eat a lot of cake, and 373 00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:19,280 Speaker 1: not just cake, all kinds of desserts. Some of it 374 00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:22,800 Speaker 1: was hand delivered. My right hand was getting a workout. 375 00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:25,879 Speaker 1: I want to thank Darren. We call him Donut Darren 376 00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:29,000 Speaker 1: on the show, a big fan, lives in the OC 377 00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:34,280 Speaker 1: and he works out at the Port of la And 378 00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:36,320 Speaker 1: even though he's a Giants fan, I like the guy. 379 00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:40,159 Speaker 1: Seems like a nice guy, and he stopped by. He 380 00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:43,040 Speaker 1: knows from listening to this podcast on the radio show 381 00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:45,719 Speaker 1: that I've been dying to get my hands on an 382 00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:50,160 Speaker 1: apple fritter donut. I've tried for about a month. Every 383 00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:52,720 Speaker 1: time I've gone to the donut shop, they're out of 384 00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:56,080 Speaker 1: apple fritters. It's been very upsetting to me. And so 385 00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:58,880 Speaker 1: Donut Darren's like, Hey, I know a place it's open 386 00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:03,080 Speaker 1: twenty four hours. I'll go buy a dozen donuts and 387 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:06,840 Speaker 1: I'll drive him and deliver them. And that's exactly what 388 00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:09,520 Speaker 1: Darren did. He'd stop by and it was great to 389 00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:11,719 Speaker 1: you know. He told some stories about his life and 390 00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:15,080 Speaker 1: he's growing up. He's probably around our age, Danny, give 391 00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:17,840 Speaker 1: her take. And he would go to games at Candlestick 392 00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:23,240 Speaker 1: Park than in the frozen Tundra where the Giants played 393 00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:24,960 Speaker 1: for so many years and the forty nine ers s. 394 00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:27,199 Speaker 1: We're telling stories about that. And he hung out with us, 395 00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:29,919 Speaker 1: and so I got my apple fritter. I had a 396 00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:34,040 Speaker 1: bare claw. Just just wonderful, just great. Love the donuts, 397 00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:37,679 Speaker 1: in fact, that donut shop, which I thought he worked for, 398 00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:39,080 Speaker 1: but he does, and he works. He works at the 399 00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:42,240 Speaker 1: Port of La is so good. I'm probably gonna go 400 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:45,119 Speaker 1: back there. It's in Huntington Beach and I'll probably go 401 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:48,280 Speaker 1: back at some point. Then I really want to thank 402 00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:52,040 Speaker 1: as well Michael from Providence, who's a super fan of 403 00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:55,040 Speaker 1: the show, super p one of the show better known 404 00:20:55,119 --> 00:21:00,640 Speaker 1: though as The Dawn of Little Debbie and every four 405 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:04,280 Speaker 1: months or so. I'm not sure exactly what Michael does. 406 00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:06,880 Speaker 1: I assume he works as a distributor for Little Debbie, 407 00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:09,919 Speaker 1: but I don't know, maybe not, Maybe he's just he 408 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,800 Speaker 1: knows people, but he hooks us up with whatever the 409 00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:17,640 Speaker 1: seasonal treats are from Little Debbie. For example, he sent 410 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:22,960 Speaker 1: a box which was about the size of the state 411 00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:25,960 Speaker 1: of Rhode Island where he's from. Well, you know, he said, 412 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:27,560 Speaker 1: it's a small box, but if it's the size of 413 00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:29,520 Speaker 1: the road, it's pretty big, right compared to us. So 414 00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:31,560 Speaker 1: he sent and it was filled with all the Halloween 415 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:36,400 Speaker 1: Little Debbie treats with the pumpkins on them and all 416 00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:38,440 Speaker 1: that stuff. And he also sent a couple of cool 417 00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:42,360 Speaker 1: T shirts. His son is on the offensive line at 418 00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:45,359 Speaker 1: the high school there in his town in Rhode Island, 419 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:47,680 Speaker 1: and so he sent me a high school T shirt. 420 00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:50,639 Speaker 1: Was was kind of cool, and you know, I looked it up. 421 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:53,280 Speaker 1: I was always curious with these high schools because every 422 00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:55,600 Speaker 1: high school, if you've been around as a high school 423 00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:59,120 Speaker 1: for like forty or more years, chances are somebody went 424 00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 1: to that high school that ended up doing something of note, 425 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:09,800 Speaker 1: whether they are a politician or entertainer or athlete, musician. 426 00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:13,080 Speaker 1: Chances are, over two generations at least one or two 427 00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:16,639 Speaker 1: people made it. You know, you go to places like 428 00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:20,439 Speaker 1: town's in Rhode Island where they've been around forever and 429 00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:23,720 Speaker 1: ever compared to the West Coast. So this high school 430 00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:27,639 Speaker 1: in Rhode Island turns out to be the one that 431 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:31,520 Speaker 1: our friend, Michael's son is playing football at is the 432 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:34,880 Speaker 1: same high school that produced Joe Missoula, the head coach 433 00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:40,680 Speaker 1: of the Celtics, and Rocco bal Delhi, the Minneso Twins managers. 434 00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:43,120 Speaker 1: So that was kind of cool, like, wow, there's been 435 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:47,800 Speaker 1: some interesting cats, some other NFL people, baseball people went 436 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:52,440 Speaker 1: to this high school, this random high school in Rhode Islands, 437 00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:55,879 Speaker 1: a small town in Rhode Island, and very cool. He 438 00:22:55,960 --> 00:23:00,600 Speaker 1: also sent me a T shirt from there's this ren restaurant. 439 00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:02,399 Speaker 1: I don't even know what I don't know what kind 440 00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:05,520 Speaker 1: of business it was, but it was named Benny's. Maybe 441 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:07,560 Speaker 1: it was a restaurant and it was it was named Benny's, 442 00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:10,280 Speaker 1: and somebody had sent I think it was Alf had 443 00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:14,720 Speaker 1: sent the logo. He sent a photo months ago, and 444 00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:17,560 Speaker 1: Michael's like, Hey, I think I can get you a 445 00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 1: shirt that has the logo from this place called Benny's 446 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:23,480 Speaker 1: on it, which is no longer in business. And I said, boy, 447 00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:25,000 Speaker 1: that would be pretty cool. I'd add that to my 448 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:27,840 Speaker 1: shirt collection. Now have a lot of shirts I wear 449 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:29,440 Speaker 1: when I'm getting ready for the show, kind of during 450 00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:32,560 Speaker 1: the day, my lounge around the house shirts. And so 451 00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:34,480 Speaker 1: he tracked this thing down and he sent it to me. 452 00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:37,439 Speaker 1: So I added a couple of a couple of T shirts. 453 00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:41,119 Speaker 1: But wait, there's more.

Some cops from New York, upstate New York 456 00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:51,080 Speaker 1: sent a box. Now this box was the size of 457 00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:54,399 Speaker 1: like Lake Erie.
